One dead night, I lay in the ruins and looked at the night sky, where the Big Dipper was constantly shining and attracted me deeply. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

For a long time, I whispered to myself, "I want to be the lord of a country...... I don't know why I want to say this, I just think it's a matter of course, maybe it's a revelation from the Big Dipper, right?

And these words were heard by the Red Soldier who was lying on the other side, "Haha, what are you dreaming about?" Obviously, he didn't believe me.

Although I told him that people only have a future when they have dreams, he obviously didn't believe me very much. Well, since he followed me out of Myokakuji Temple, he has been living a wandering life, and it is certain that he has resentment.

I suddenly turned over, grabbed the Red Guard, pointed at the Big Dipper, and said loudly, "Red Soldier, look at the Big Dipper!" I looked at the Big Dipper, and I saw my future destiny! ”

"Oh?? That...... What is your future destiny? The Red Soldier asked in a strange voice.

"I will go down in history for a hundred years!" I said slowly, still staring at the Big Dipper.

"Hahahaha~This guy is crazy~~" Red Soldier Wei laughed, decided not to pay attention to this stupid guy, shook his head and went back to sleep.

At this time, my name was Shokuro Matsuba.

But now I'm just a penniless ronin. Well, that's at best, it's not that different from a homeless person. How can I realize my dream of being the head of a country?

Until that day, luck came. A gang of robbers robbed Naraya, one of Kyoto's leading oil merchants, and its owner was a widow named Wana who had died of her husband.

I killed the bandits, helped her get her goods back, and then arrived in a brand-new samurai costume that I had bought with the money I had collected from the robbers.

Things are going well, and Wana has obviously developed a crush on me, which I have long thought of. After all, a woman who has been lonely for many years is easily attracted to a powerful man, especially the man who once saved her.

However, I didn't develop any offensive against her, because I wouldn't do such a boring thing. What I need is for her to take the initiative to give her a hug.

Subsequently, I got a satisfactory answer, and Wana wanted me to stay and help Naraya escort the goods.

After agreeing, I left, and by the way, I pretended to be casual and left the rosary that I practiced at Myokakuji Temple. I believe that Wan'a will definitely send someone to investigate me.

During a battle to escort a cargo to and from Bizen Province, I led my guards to defeat the samurai Arienbei Nakamori who tried to loot the goods, and in this battle, I used the military science I learned at the temple to bring the battle to an end shortly after it began. At the same time, it was also this battle that made me firm in my dream of conquering a country, because I understood from this battle that war was not as difficult as I imagined.

After the delivery, I didn't return to Kyoto, but traveled directly to various countries. On the one hand, I want to be able to see a long time, and on the other hand, I want to dry it for a long time.

Two years later, I returned, and through the Akabei who stayed in Kyoto, it was easy for me to understand how much Wana missed me at this time.

In the back room, I waited for a long time, "Hehe, do you want to avenge the bitter thoughts of these two years?" Woman......" I chuckled and continued to wait.

After a long time, Wan A finally appeared in front of me, and I could see that she had dressed up specially to come over, and there was even a faint fragrance on her body, which should have taken a bath.

After some pleasantries, I said the purpose of the trip, "I have no place to stay in the capital, can you let me stay tonight?" ”

"Please~"

"It might take a few days."

"You can stay as long as you want~"

Wan Ah replied gently, although her expression did not change much, I could still see the excitement in her heart. Hmph, it's not too easy to deal with such a widow with a handsome guy like me.

The next thing happened, when the water came together, I became the owner of Naraya, and improved the way I sold oil. It's just that as the business boomed, another oil merchant colluded with Hachimangu to force Naraya to close.

This...... But it's an opportunity...... So, I took advantage of the situation and asked them to demolish the Naraya, and with money and force, I asked Matsunaga Tazaemon, the governor of Hachimangu Shrine, to reissue me a license to sell oil. Only this time, it's not Naraya, it's Yamazakiya.

Then, one day after the reopening, Wana and I had a new wedding.

"The Naraya has gone out of business, and the wealthy Matsuba Shokuro is nowhere to be found, another man has appeared, and Wana has become his wife."

I announced my decision in a more euphemistic way, and Wan, after a few changes in countenance, accepted it. I could see from the look on her face that she knew what I was doing it for. Yes, I got her people, and then this time I took her Nara house again. It may sound like a difference, because she's still the hostess, but we all know that from now on, everything will be different.

"Is this love?" I asked myself.

At this time, my name was Yamazaki Yasho Kuro.

Since then, I have relied on a large amount of money to buy various books, and I have continued to study and investigate. Finally, one day, I made up my mind.

"Wana, I'm going to take the territory! Become the lord of the country! And use this as a step to return to the capital to seize the world! I said wistfully. After all this period of research, I have become more than satisfied with the head of a country.

"Huh...... This one...... It's really fun...... Take over the world...... Interesting......" Wan Ah was obviously at a loss, but he still forced a smile and followed my words.

"One year! If I can't find a way to steal the country, I will give up this idea and come back to be a businessman in peace! ”

"And what if you find it?"

"Then I'll take you over!"

Hearing this, Wan Ah seemed to understand that he couldn't persuade me anymore, so he could only agree, "Then say it!" It's just a year! ”

I set my sights on Mino, and I thought that if I could capture Mino, it would be possible to take the world. Because it is close to Kyoto and has a well-developed sea route, it is an important transportation area and a large producer.

My younger brother, the Master Higo, was the younger brother of Toshitaka Nagai, the second son of the Toki family, who was the master of Mino, but Toki Yoriji was unwilling to admit that his brother Toki Yorimasa had succeeded the family governor, but unfortunately, he was defeated.

After talking, I managed to gain the favor of Toki Yoriyi, and met his concubine Fukayoshino. I couldn't take my eyes off her, and the moment I looked at her, I felt my heart taken away by her, a feeling I had never felt before.

In the days that followed, with the support of Yamazakiya's large amount of money, I finally became a retainer of Toki Yorigi. And was given the surname of the same clan of the Toki clan, Nishimura. At that meeting, I not only gave Toki Laiyi, a guy who likes to paint, an ink from the Ming Kingdom, but also a large amount of silk and rouge gouache to Fukashino. Then, in response to Toki Yoriyi's interest, I performed a dance. I believe that in Shen Fangye's heart, there is already my shadow, because I am such a talented and beautiful person, how can a woman resist my charm?

At this time, my name was Kankuro Nishimura.

Only 7 months after the date I had agreed with Wana, I returned to Kyoto satisfied.

"Hmm...... For Wan A, you are still Zhuang Jiulang, Nishimura Kanjiuro or something, I don't know. Wan Ah smiled softly.

"Well, exactly!" I suddenly thought of Fukayoshino and said casually.

"Kankuro Nishimura is in Mino, and Yamazaki Yasho Kuro is in Kyoto. Mino's Kankuro Nishimura is a great thief who wants to take over the world, while Yamazaki Yasho Kuro is Wan's husband. I said with my eyes open. Well, I think I've used this reason before.

"But......" Wan Ah tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked with some doubts, "Then if Brother Zhuang Jiulang becomes a general, then who will be the main room?" Is it Kankuro's wife, or am I Wana? ”

"Hahaha~ It's really embarrassing~" I couldn't help but be amused by Wan A's words, "It depends on who took over the world~" I couldn't help but tease Wan A.

Back in Mino, I became Kankuro Nishimura again, and on the day I returned, Yorige Toki made a bet with me at a banquet held for me, and the content was simple: if I could stab a tiger in the eye on the screen with a gun when I was half-drunk. Perhaps it was the wine that made people emboldened, and I made a very rude request, that is, to use Fukayoshino as a bet.

I won, got Fukayoshino, and at the same time, set out to help Toki Yorii capture Mino.

I didn't hide the fact that I married Fukayoshino. But I seem to have come to love this two-identity game. I just don't know what Wana thinks about the argument that "Wana is the wife of Yamazaki Yashokuro, and Fukayoshino is the wife of Kankuro Nishimura"? Hehe, it must be interesting.

In the days that followed, I married the wise family, and during this time, I was given the effect of a wandering ninja called Earji.

"It's time......" I said lightly.

One night, Yoshimasa Toki held a banquet at Kawate Castle and invited a group of entertainers who had traveled from Kyoto to the area. I'm afraid he couldn't have imagined that this artist group was sent by Wan'a, right?

The plan went well, and when Toki Yorimasa and the others gathered in the hall to indulge in singing and dancing, the Red Soldiers and Erji secretly helped my troops open the gates.

After easily capturing Kawate Castle, I took over Toki Yorii and sent someone to report to the Kyoto Imperial Court, and Toki Yorii became the lord of Mino, while I, replacing Nagai Toshitaka of Shimono, became the lord of Kana Castle.

At this time, my name was Toshimasa Nagai.

“…… Then there is the lord of Minong, and then there is His Royal Highness the general, and there is still a long way to go...... When will I, Wana, become a lady? Wan Ah complained with resentment.

"Hah...... Haha......" I laughed twice, pretending to be stupid. No way, what can I say in this situation?

"So, where have you been all this time? It took four days after I came to Kyoto to see me......" Wan Ah asked with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Hahaha~ Are you jealous?" I laughed, but honestly explained.

"Aren't I helping the lord to find the side room~ You also know that the lord has just become the lord of the Mino country, so how can he also need a woman with status to accompany him......" I said at the end, and my voice became smaller and smaller. Well, I suddenly realized what I was talking about, and the murderous aura behind me made it clear to me how outrageous what I was saying.

Fortunately, Wan Ah didn't dwell on this matter for too long, but then her words made me even more frightened, "I heard that Mrs. Fukashino gave birth to a boy? It must be cute, just like you, right? ”

A series of words left me speechless, because Wan A has been with me for so many years, but she has never been pregnant. Looking at her, I suddenly felt a sense of guilt, "Wan'a, let's have a baby in the evening......" I said softly.

But unfortunately, I returned to Mino the next day with Prince Kakonai, and whether Wana was pregnant with my child can only be inquired later. Prince Kasenouchi is the daughter of the previous empress Emperor Kashiwahara, and this status can be described as extremely noble.

Toki Laiyi is very happy about this, although it seems that this Prince Xiangzinai is not so easy to serve, but, what does this have to do with me?

Unfortunately, my position was seriously challenged in the following time, and he was a key minister of the Toki Yorimasa period when he was Nagai Fujizaemon. After he united with his three younger brothers to launch an attack, I had no choice but to leave home to escape this catastrophe.

At this time, I called it Saito Michisanki.

Soon after, however, under the onslaught of Oda Nobuhide, the Toki family had no choice but to invite me back.

"Hehe, I'm back, but I won't go again!" I thought with a sneer.

However, I am well aware that if I had been a retainer, the previous events would probably repeat myself, and it seemed to me that the time was about the same.

"Lord...... Please live in seclusion, only in this way can you ensure the stability of Mino......" I found Toki Yorii and whispered my purpose.

"No! No way! And...... If I'm in seclusion, who will be the guardian of Mino? Huh? It can't be you, right? ”

Looking at Toki Laiyi, I said calmly, "Your son...... I have been raising a parent for 16 years...... Your son ......"

"You...... Do you know about this? Toki Laiyi sat down on the ground and asked in a trembling voice.

It's a pity that Toki Laiyi didn't agree to this matter in the end, and I had no choice but to use force to solve it.

Naturally, Toki Laiyi couldn't stop my attack, and soon fled. On the Kiso River, I pretended to be a boatman and gave him his last ride. Seriously speaking, in addition to his own lack of progress and obsession with wine, Toki Laiyi does not have too many shortcomings, especially for me, which can be described as heart-to-heart. Unfortunately, I still have unfulfilled ambitions......

At this time, I was still called Michizo Saito, but people abroad preferred to call me ...... "pit viper!" (To be continued.) )
