When Nobutake and Hojo Kiyoichi reconciled, Hojo Seiichi held a banquet at home that night to entertain Nobutake and Zhu Houzhao.

After countless exquisite food and drink came up, they enjoyed themselves together.

"General, you said that when we were children, our father fought together, but we rarely had the opportunity to meet, if we had met often, there would have been no misunderstanding today." Kiyoichi Hojo said,

"Yes, I heard that the young master of the Hojo family is very proud, and I only saw it today, but I have always heard of it, so I still feel very kind to the young master of Hojo." Shin Wu said,

"I have also heard that Young Master Xinwu is very filial, but I don't know that Young Master Xinwu's martial arts are so powerful, which really makes me admire, is it possible that Young Master Xinwu has been hiding his martial arts." Kiyoichi Hojo said,

Xinwu smiled, "Xinwu doesn't have it, it's just that it's really unassuming, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, but I think that a general's martial arts are not the most important, and serving talents with virtue is the most important." ”

"Oh, yes, that's the highest level of force, it's more important to convince people with virtue, Qingyi understands, thank you Young Master Xinwu for your guidance, come on, let's get drunk today." Hojo toast,

"By the way, this Dongfang General, Mr. Xinwu was introduced by Young Master Xinwu just now that he is from the Central Plains." Kiyoichi Hojo said,

"Yes, I'm from the Central Plains." Zhu Houzhao said,

"The Central Plains is good, the Central Plains is rich in resources, I admire it, in fact, I have always disapproved of those people going to the Central Plains to rob things, they are the most enthusiastic about those big names along the coast, and they also drove some inland daimyo and nobles to send people to do this, do you want to rob this thing for a long time, it is better to do your own thing." Kiyoichi Hojo said,

Zhu Houzhao admired this Hojo Kiyoichi's words very much,

"Come, Brother Qingyi, I respect you." Zhu Houzhao said,

"You're welcome, Brother Dongfang, look at my Odawara City, isn't it very Central Plains." Hojo said,

"This city is extremely strong, from the perspective of architectural techniques, it must have borrowed from the experience of some cities in the Central Plains, but it has also added its own unique innovation, this city can be called a strong fortress." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Hehe, it's indispensable for my Hojo family to be able to crisscross the city of Kanto, but this time I was captured by you outside the city, it's really providential." Kiyoichi Hojo said self-deprecatingly,

"That's a fluke, too." Zhu Houzhao smiled,

"Yes, it's a fluke and it's inevitable, fortunately I was captured by you, otherwise I don't know how many innocent people will die for a long time, and I don't know what the result will be." Kiyoichi Hojo said,

"Yes, it's everyone's luck, it's General Shintake's luck and Brother Hojo's luck, let's have a toast to this luck." Zhu Houzhao raised his glass and said,

"Okay, let's do it." Xinwu said happily,

Kiyoshi Hojo raised his wine glass, and the three of them drank it all.

On the second day, Zhu Houzhao and Akiko hung out in this Odawara Castle together,

Zhu Hou took care of this city built on the mountains and admired it very much.

"It's rare for our city to have such a strong castle, so the Hojo family is very proud of this castle." Akiko said,

"It can be seen, but they are very upright, they are unwilling to send people to form a Japanese to loot the Central Plains, I admire them very much for this, I knew that I would not kill Lao Hojo outside Kyoto that day, but it was a mess at that time and I didn't know who was who, and I didn't mean to kill him." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Yes, there was chaos at the time, if you didn't work hard, maybe it wouldn't be you who appeared here to drink the celebration wine now, but the Ming Temple." Akiko said,

"Well, Mingsi lost this time, but he is not far from winning, although it is said that the prince is the loser, but the Mingsi's thinking is too radical, and it is everyone's blessing to lose, whether it is for Dongying or the Central Plains." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Well, yes, this time it's finally time to leave." Akiko asked,

"Yes, looking at the scenery of the mountains and rivers here, I am really reluctant to leave, but I just remember that there are still many things to be done in the Central Plains, so let's go back." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Well, isn't this a paradise?" Akiko asked,

Zhu Houzhao smiled, "It's a pity that the paradise also has to be killed, but after the fight, I quietly feel here, the beauty of tranquility, just like this city, after so many wars and fights, it is also a miracle to lie here quietly at this moment for us to watch." ”

"Yes, what a miracle, you see that this place is surrounded by green mountains and cherry blossoms, but it is so cruel when facing killing, what a strange combination." Akiko said,

On the sea, the wind and waves are calm at the moment, Zhu Houzhao and Mingzi are on the boat looking at the distant mountain and the land full of cherry blossoms,

"I left like this, do I feel reluctant?" Zhu Houzhao asked,

"Yes, I'm very reluctant, after all, this is the place where I have lived for many years, and I have lived here since I was a child in this life, and every grass and tree is my memory." Akiko said,

"What about the previous life, what will you feel about?" Zhu Houzhao asked again,

"I felt very sad and sad in my previous life, but this Dashen Mountain contained me, this land contained me, and let me spend the rest of my life peacefully, otherwise if I stayed in the Central Plains, I would have died a long time ago." Akiko said,

"It's all a certainty, and we might come back here in the future." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Well, it would be great if you could take me back here to see it, and I thank you in advance." Akiko said,

"By the way, you said that as soon as my brother's ban on the sea came out, those ronins would not come to the Central Plains to loot again, right?" Akiko said,

"It should be, there may still be a small number of pirates, but that is no longer a big problem, and if we strengthen the coastal border defense, we can eliminate them, but there may still be a big problem." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Who is that, is that the person on Wufeng Island?" Akiko asked,

Zhu Houzhao groaned, he looked in the direction of Wufeng Island, and sighed: "Yes, it's him, maybe I was friends with him in my previous life, and I may not be friends again in this life." ”

"That's your life, and you can't choose it in this life." Akiko said,

"Well, I have to solve this problem, he has so many warships, so many people, and a large number of people to break into the coastal areas and loot, if it is not solved, it will definitely not work." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Well, I hope you can be happy and don't think about it." Akiko said,

"Why do you say that?" Zhu Houzhao said,

"Didn't you say that he was your good friend in the Qin Dynasty, if you want to destroy your good friend in your previous life in this life, you must not have a taste in your heart." Akiko said,

"Alas, the road is not good, take the rubbing and float into the sea, the trouble of people, the belt stands in the court, but since you want to go to sea, why do you want tens of thousands of people to attack the coast and plunder, since you have done such a thing and still do not stop, what do you tell me to do." Zhu Houzhao said,

"Don't think about it, everything has a certainty." Akiko said,
