"Your Highness Kira, I didn't expect such a result, just now I was worried that the lord would be angry. If that's the case, I'll be ashamed to do it, because I'm the one who told you your names. Out of the main account, Maeda Toshiya said apologetically.

"His Highness Maeda is serious." I thanked him, "I'm worried about His Highness Sawaki ......."

"Your Highness, don't worry. His surname is like this, and his head is easy to get hot, and the lord understands," Maeda Toshiie thought about it and continued, "...... Moreover, there is a reason why he is like this, and I think the lord can be considerate. ”

"Oh, can Your Highness tell me? His Royal Highness Sawaki values affection and friendship, and he is moved by the main account of the lord. I would like to be close to the next! I hurriedly said.

"This was the year before last...... At that time, not long after the death of His Royal Highness Michizo, the lord went to crusade against Saito Yoshiryu, and when he left, he appointed His Royal Highness Sawaki Fujisaemon, Fujihachi's adoptive father, to guard Kiyoshu Castle as the castle representative. At that time, His Royal Highness Nobuhiro, the brother-in-law of the lord, and Saito Yoshiryu, wanted to take advantage of the lord's army to attack Cheongju outside. Although the lord received the news in advance and made some arrangements to protect Cheongju Castle, His Royal Highness Sawaki was killed in battle...... Later, His Royal Highness Nobuhiro took the initiative to ask for guilt and was forgiven by the lord, so Fujihachi had to put all his anger on Saito Yoshiryu, and every time he attacked Mino, he was very energetic. Toshiie Maeda explained.

"I see," I sighed, "to give up this hatred, Sawaku...... His Royal Highness must not want to embarrass the lord. ”

"What His Royal Highness Sawaki Ryonoki, is it really ...... His Royal Highness has a life-saving grace for Fujihachi, and since he has become a colleague, he will call him Fujihachi directly when we meet in the future! Maeda Toshiya smiled, "If His Highness knows about him, if His Highness sees him like that, he will definitely not be happy!" ”

"In that case, please don't meet with you. The full name under the name is Kira Keijiro Nobukei. The younger brother Kira Xiujing, and the righteous sister Kamikawa Xiaoxia, also ask for the name to be commensurate. ”

"Please take care of me." Kira Hidejing and Konatsu immediately bowed their heads and saluted. They're my retainers for now.

"Then, Keijiro, there are two more, please take care of them." Maeda Toshiya is not a formal person, and since I said it, he is no longer polite.

In front of a small tent, Maeda Toshiya stopped: "Let's ask the three of you to stay here temporarily." In the barracks, the conditions were poor, so I had to ask Xiao Xia to be wronged. ”

"It's okay." Xiao Xia said.

"Then I'll go back to duty first, the three of you will rest for a while, and you'll come over at dinner time." Maeda Toshiya owed a debt and walked towards the main tent with a sword.

……，……

The next day, we returned to Cheongju with all our troops. Oda Nobukiyo also returned to his own Inuyama Castle. Toshiie Maeda and Yoshiyuki Sawaki came to visit us after their duty that night, and they had a very pleasant chat. I didn't ask Oda Nobunaga what he and Oda Nobukiyo were discussing, but it was better to be cautious when they first arrived. However, according to history, in the Ukino Battle in July this year, Oda Nobukiyo supported Oda Nobunaga with 1,000 people, presumably what they discussed was to jointly deal with the Oda Ise Moriya, after all, there was a territorial dispute between the Oda Ise Moriya and the Inuyama side, and there was also a lot of friction between Hei and Oda Nobukiyo. I even think that Oda Nobunaga stopped at this place probably because he wanted to attack Iwakura immediately, but Oda Nobukiyo was not so reluctant, so we had to return to Kiyoshu Castle.

After returning to Cheongju, we were arranged by Yoshiyuki Sawaki to stay in a dormitory. The owner of the house was a young woman of about 20 years old, named Yujia, with a little girl of two years old. Her father-in-law and husband were originally retainers of the Sawaki family, and Oda Nobuhiro was killed in battle with Sawaki Saemon during the attack on Kiyoshu. In order to make ends meet, under the support of Yoshiyuki Sawaku's adoptive mother, Yuka converted his house into a dormitory, and then maintained his livelihood with the income from the dormitory.

The house was very small, with only four rooms, and after the three of us moved in, Yuga stopped taking in other guests and only took care of the three of us. I was so upset that I insisted on paying for four rooms.

At this time, it was already spring sowing time, and most of the people were busy going to the fields, and even Oda Nobunaga's horses and attendants were lacking many people, and those who were left were either landless people like me, or long-term laborers hired by the Rike family. He was the fourth son of the Maeda family in Arako Castle, and he was thirteen years old, and he was recruited by Nobunaga at the age of fourteen and has been following him, and has participated in almost all the subsequent wars. In order to make up for the shortage of numbers, and also to select talents, Oda Nobunaga temporarily recruited some people, and I, as a new recruit, had to enter Kiyoshu Castle to take duty, and I was given a good version of the Imperial Loan. When she put this on for me, Xiao Xia was excited for a while.

Actually, it's really embarrassing to talk about my identity. As a stableman, I don't even know how to ride a horse. Perhaps only Oda Nobunaga could do such a thing!

For this reason, I have been ridiculed more than once by Sasa Naimasa and others, who are also members of the Ma Dian people, both openly and secretly. In order to make myself a little more worthy of my name, I had to try to ask Maeda Toshiie, Ito Takebei and others about martial arts and equestrianism.

After spending a long time with them, I realized that Nobunaga was really interesting to me. Maeda Toshiya has been with him for so long, starting with a small surname, and he is still only a head of the ashigaru group, with a salary of fifty years. That is, after six years of work, there was almost no promotion, and there was not a single salary increase. Kanamori Nagajin and Kawajiri Hidetaka are even worse, they followed Nobunaga in the Nobuhide era, one is 34 years old this year, the other is 31 years old, and he is only a 120-year-old Ashigaru general...... There is also Naomasa Tsukasa, whose treatment is similar to that of the Li family. However, his sister is Oda Nobunaga's side room, the biological mother of Nobunaga's eldest son, Nobunasa.

Nobunaga's main chamber is naturally Mrs. Guidie, and in addition to this, there are currently four side chambers. Three of them already had children, one was Naomasa's sister Naoko, the other was Mrs. Saka of the Atsuta Jingu Omiya Chiaki family, who gave birth to Sanchimaru (later Oda Nobutaka) on March 7, and one was Mrs. Yoshino, who was Ikomagayashiki, and was also the most favored. She was six years older than Nobunaga, and she was originally married to Yaheizo Tsuchida, who was from the family of Nobunaga's mother, Mrs. Tsuchida, so she and Nobunaga had met for a long time. After the death of Yahei Tsuchida in the third battle the year before, Yoshino returned to Ikomagayashiki, and the next year he gave birth to Wonder Maru (Oda Nobutada) with Nobunaga, and immediately became pregnant again. However, Nobunaga never took her back to Cheongshu, and when she was about to give birth, she was still allowed to live in Ikoma Yashiki, which is really incredible!

Anyway, Nobunaga's strange behavior is many, and this one is not bad.

Ikoma Yashiki is located in Koori Village, Niwa County, just three kilometers from Iwakura Castle, the main castle of Oda Nobuyogen. When Nobunaga arrived, he often brought a number of attendants with him, both to meet with Mrs. Yoshino and to observe Iwakura's movements.

It is worth mentioning that on the 28th of this month, Emperor Shokin-cho ascended the throne and changed his name to Eiroku. This era name comes from the "Group Book Zhiyao", the so-called "those who protect the world and keep the family, and those who are forever blessed".

In this way, about half a month passed, and at noon in mid-March, Nobunaga suddenly and urgently gathered the people of the horse and went to Ikoma Yashiki in Koori Village again. Because I was not skilled in horsemanship, Nobunaga did not let me accompany me. So I got two days of leisure to visit Cheongju City.

Kiyoshu is the key area that controls the road from Tokaido to Kyoto, and from Tokoku to Nishikoku, in addition to Tokaido, there is also the Higashiyamado via Shinano and Mino, and the Hokuriku Province via Echigo, Echichu, Kaga, and Echizen. However, Higashiyama Road is rugged and difficult to navigate; The roads in Hokuriku are in slightly better condition, but they are cut off by snow for almost half of the year. Therefore, the Tokaido is the most convenient route, and the town of Kiyosu is naturally a prosperous scene. During this period of time, Xiujing and Xiaoxia didn't have any specific jobs, and the two wandered around the town every day with nothing to do. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I visited the Kiyoshu commissioner Niwa Nagahide through Maeda Toshiya, and asked the two of them to help maintain law and order in the town under him.

I'll go back to my dormitory first so that I can get rid of my equipment. When she entered, Yuka was kneeling on the floor to mop the floor, and her two-year-old daughter, Mitsu, was dangling beside her. Seeing me enter the door, Mitsu immediately staggered and ran to my lap. After nearly a month of getting along, the little guy and I are already very familiar with me, and they especially like to stick to me.

Yu Jia looked up, and quickly got up to apologize: "Oops, I didn't expect the adults to come back, I didn't prepare lunch...... I'm going to prepare! ”

"It's okay, I'll go to the town to find Xiujing and Xiaoxia to eat!" I said to Yuga, then went upstairs to change her clothes, picked up her two-year-old daughter, Mitsu, and went out. Yu Jia hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and sent me to the door. Mitsu lay on my right shoulder and said goodbye to her mother happily. She knew that once I took her out, there would be plenty of good food.

I bought Mitsu some sweets and sugar cakes first, and then asked someone else in the town, and it didn't take long to find Xiujing and Konatsu. Their work was actually very leisurely, the three of them found a whale house to eat, and after a leisurely stroll, Mitsu had already fallen asleep in my arms, so I separated from the two of them, and brought some food to Yujia casually.

As a modern person, even though I have been in Sengoku for so long, and I have fought and killed enemies, there are some things that I have never learned, such as eating only two meals a day like Yuka, or rampage through the town with a spear like the Toshiie...... I have always been very kind to civilians and have maintained a certain amount of respect. For example, I have always been very polite to Yujia, and every time I go back, I often bring her a small gift. At first, she was a little unaccustomed to it, but gradually she was happy to accept it.

Back at the dormitory, she gave the food to Yuka, she said a bunch of thanks as usual, and then took the sleeping Mitsu back to her room. I went back to my room and got ready for an afternoon nap. At this time, Yu Jia's voice suddenly sounded in front of the door: "My lord, is it convenient for you now?" ”

"Please come in." I got up and sat cross-legged.

The door was opened, and Yuga walked in.

"My lord, not long after you went out, I saw Lord Oda and a number of adults riding horses to the city gate...... Is there another war? She asked worriedly.

"No, it may be that Mrs. Ikoma is about to give birth, which is why His Highness is in such a hurry to rush over." I said with a smile.

"That's good, that's good." Yujia breathed a sigh of relief.

"What, are you worried that your loved ones at home will go to war?" I asked.

"Since my father-in-law and my late husband passed away the year before last, there has only been Mitsu in the family." Yuga shook his head sadly, "If there is anyone else to worry about, it is His Royal Highness Sawaki and you of the main family...... Well, and the two highnesses in your family. ”

"The battle always has to be fought, and His Highness must unify Owari and retrieve Mino." Listening to her words, I was a little moved. Anyway, it was fine, so I continued to talk to her.

In fact, not only Owari and Mino, but also, Hokuriku, Koshin, San'in, San'in, Sanyo, ...... But I didn't go further.

"When will this battle be a head!" Yuga sighed.

"As a samurai, since you have a sword, you have to fight one by one! Moreover, everyone has their own people to protect, and for me, it's Xiujing, Konatsu, and Yuka and Komitsu! I said, half jokingly, half serious, "So, even if I don't want to, I can only fight as best I can." ”

"Adults have always been kind to Little Girl and Mitsu......" Yuka said gratefully. Then she bit her lip, got up and closed the door, and undressed behind my back. The clothes were pulled off her back, revealing a smooth bare back and round buttocks.

"Yuga, you ......" I stood up in surprise.

Yu Jia turned around, and her pretty face showed a slight shyness. She covered her hands in front of her chest and bowed to me: "The concubine doesn't expect any prestige, she just wants to serve the adults as much as she can...... If you can, please take care of Mitsu, the little girl has not seen her father since she was born. It's rare for adults to take care of them so much, and the little girl is really attached to adults. ”

Yu Jia is only 20 years old this year, and her body is very beautiful, because she often works in the dormitory, she is in good shape, with a slender and soft waist and slender legs. After Bai fell, because she knelt on the ground, her hips appeared more plump, and the curve of her waist and hips was abruptly tucked into the slender waist at an almost exaggerated angle.

In the middle of March, around the middle of April in the solar calendar, the weather is still a little chilly. Yuga knelt on the floor naked[***], a tiny pimple on the skin on his back.

"You get up first!" I have to say. I felt my heart beat faster, and my mouth seemed a little dry.

Yu Jia got up obediently, and lowered his hands from his chest, revealing a plump and straight room. I tried to look away, but I seemed to lose control of my body. When Yuga saw my expression, he came over with a red face, took off his clogs, and knelt on the reed mat to help me undress.

At this point, there was no need to think about the consequences, so I hugged Yu Jia and fell on the bed, covering the quilt. Yuga rested his head on my chest and curled up in a ball.

"Is it cold?" I asked, looking down.

"It's alright......" Yuga whispered back, pulling my left hand and pressing it against her warm room.

Feeling the warmth and softness in my hands, I subconsciously kneaded, feeling her rue room gradually firm up in my hands, and the milk beads in my palms swelled like an unripe grape. Then my other hand began to slide over his smooth body. She stretched out her body very cooperatively, leaned over to me on my side, and the breath in her mouth gradually turned into gasp, and the warm breath blew on the side of my neck.

My right hand fumbled and reached for her lower body, past a patch of hair, and then to a soft, slightly moist area.

"Here?" I pressed it gently.

Yuga didn't answer, just put his arms around my neck.

I rolled over and pressed her delicate body underneath me. Yu Jia gasped, took the initiative to straighten his hips, and brought his private parts over. I was also a little impatient, but after trying a few times, I still couldn't get in. It was a bit of a shame for me, but it was also something I couldn't help but do, and this was the first time in my eighteen years of experience. Eventually, Yuga guided me into the soft, moist cavity of her body.

With a few soft snorts, I squeezed in with all my might. The moment the lower body was close to each other, the two of them let out a sigh of satisfaction at the same time.

……，……

For a period of time after that, I felt a little bit of a taste for the marrow, and I was very nostalgic for the young and wonderful body. At first, Yuka came to me while Mitsu was asleep, but then I started to take the initiative to go to her room. By May, I was simply living with her.

The dormitory is not big, and although the sound of opening and closing the door at night is very soft, it has been a long time, and Xiujing and Xiaoxia must have noticed it. Xiujing didn't say anything, and Xiao Xia looked a little listless.

In all this time, Natsu and I have never been as close as we used to be in the mountains. Although I have always thought that Xiao Xia is younger sister, she has been instilled with too many master-slave concepts by her grandfather since she was a child. Since I came out, between her and me, there is a separation from everyone's sight, and there is also the status of master and slave. When I was with my colleagues, as a woman and a subordinate, Xiao Xia rarely spoke up, and she always maintained a rather respectful attitude; Then, even when she was alone, she was a little more restrained than before.

Now there are a lot of words, and Xiao Xia doesn't talk to me anymore. I saw that she was in a bad mood and when I asked her, she kept trying to smile and say it was okay.

In comparison, Xiujing is much better. He didn't have a brother since he was a child, and after he saw me, he really treated me as his own brother.

Seeing that I was openly living with Yu Jia, Xiujing finally wanted to say something. One day, while it was just the two of us, he caught up with me.

"Brother, are you just like this with Yu?" Xiujing asked in a low voice.

"Yes! Speaking of which, I'm really ashamed to be an older brother...... But in that case, we can settle down here. I was a little embarrassed to answer.

"So, when will my brother arrange for Xiao Xia?" Xiujing asked again.

"Isn't Fujihachi after Natsu? He told me before, and I asked him to work on his own. I smiled and said, "If Xiao Xia is willing, this is a good marriage, Fujihachi is a person who values love and friendship, and I can trust him." ”

This thing is a bit strange, since he was almost shot by Konatsu on the Kiso River, this guy Yoshiyuki Sawaki suddenly has feelings for Konatsu. A while ago, he specially invited me to the best izakaya in the town, and then put his hands together, solemnly begging me to agree, and I let him pursue Konatsu by himself. This time, he pestered Xiao Xia when he had nothing to do, although Xiao Xia has been lukewarm, and sometimes he reciprocated with fists, but he became more and more energetic. I'm even beginning to wonder if Yoshiyuki Sawaki is a bit masochistic.

"But ......" Xiujing wanted to say something, but his eyes caught a glimpse of Yu Jia coming over. He owed me a debt and got up and walked out of the dormitory.
