Jiafei, Hesaki Pavilion, Li Xiao's mansion.

At night, the rain did not stop.

Yumi Kohata was holding a wooden horn comb and gently combing Yusada Kohata's hair, and in the room, the light of an oil lamp shone on Yusada Kohata's hair, and she suddenly felt bright and shining.

Yumi Kohata combed her hair and said lovingly: "Yuzhen, we women are beautiful with long hair, and your long-haired sister is very envious." ”

Yuzhen Kohata asked innocently and romantically, "Is it?" However, I still prefer my sister's long hair. ”

Yumi Kohata put down the wooden horn comb, hesitated and said: "Sister, the former Lord Takeda Warr, he asked someone to propose to you, originally I should have asked Yufu-kun about this matter first, but he is now on an expedition to Yuechu, and he is in a hurry and has no time to ask, so I want to ask you first?" ”

Yuzhen Kohata raised his head and saw Yuzhen Kohata, a trace of mist rose in his eyes, shook his head, and said, "Sister, don't you want to drive me away so soon, okay?" ”

Seeing that Yuzhen Kohata looked like this, Yumi Kohata hurriedly comforted her, "That's not what I mean, I'm just asking." If you don't want to, I'll just refuse on your behalf. ”

After a pause, Yumi Kohata said again: "But as women, we still have to marry in the end." ”

"Sister, I'm not married," Yuzhen Kohata said as she stood up suddenly, her eyes shining, "Sister, I've thought about it, I'm going to visit my brother in Echichu, and I'm going to open a branch of our Mingkoku ramen restaurant in Echichu." ”

Yumi Kohata was taken aback and asked, "Yuzhen, why did you suddenly have this idea, have you decided?" ”

Yuzhen Kohata stretched out his hand and brushed his forehead, smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, sister." ”

Yumi Kohata's lips moved, and she said, "However, now that the Vietnamese and Chinese soldiers are in chaos and there are wars everywhere, are you really ready?" ”

Yuzhen Kohata raised his head, looked at the windowsill in a daze, and finally nodded and said, "I'm not afraid, sister, I have decided that in Yuechu, I can develop the business of a ramen restaurant and take care of my younger brother." ”

Yumi Kohata saw Yuzhen Kohata with a resolute look, she knew her sister's surname, Yuzhen Kohata usually looked ignorant, and she smiled at any grievances and unhappy things, but she was very attentive to the people and things she cared about, although her surname was gentle and gentle, but once she decided on something, she was very stubborn and would never change.

Yumi Kohata nodded, giving up her intention to persuade, but still said sadly: "If you really decide to go to Echichu, you should be careful." ”

Seeing the sadness of what her sister said, Kohata Yuzhen also turned around, took her sister's hand and said, "Sister, you should also take care, you are pregnant, everything should be more cautious." ”

Yumi Kohata smiled mildly and said, "Don't worry, I've already had an experience, and I'll take care of myself this time." ”

Yuzhen Kohata looked at her sister and nodded gently, even though she had all kinds of words in her heart at the moment, she wanted to say it but she could only block it in her heart, and there was a knot in her heart that could not be opened.

She didn't understand that going to Vietnam and Central China was still in vain and fruitless.

But she understands that he will never do anything to hurt his sister, try to change anything, destroy any status quo, even if this is the happy thing of his life.

So for Yuzhen Kohata, the only hope at the moment is to be closer to that person, closer, and if she can satisfy this wish, she will be able to be content.

Maybe this life is like this, let yourself bury this stupid, impossible thought in the bottom of your heart forever, unknown, and then silently guard my sister's family on the side.

Thinking of this, Yuzhen Kohata suddenly felt that her eyes were blurry, and then she burst into tears.

Yumi Kohata sighed, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped tears on Yuzhen Kohata's face, and then said: "Yuzhen, we sisters have slept in the same room since childhood, whether it is a good Wu costume or a favorite glutinous rice ball, no matter what my sister has, it is always you and me, and there is no difference between each other." Even though we're grown up now, it's still the same as when we were kids. You know what I mean? ”

"Sister, I know you've always loved me," Yusada Kohata smiled dryly, but the tears still kept coming, and she quickly made up an excuse and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I'm leaving you, so I'm so sad." ”

Yumi Kohata shook her head and said, "You don't understand what I mean, I mean to say that everything is shared by our sisters, including my most important everything, do you understand?" ”

"Sister." Yuzhen Kohata raised her head suddenly, she didn't expect to say nothing to her sister all the time, it turned out that she had already seen through what she had been trying to hide.

"Go, go to Yuezhong, before I change my mind." Yumi Kohata looked out the window and said leisurely.

In a private house in Jiafei.

Honda Masanobu was shocked when he heard about Li Xiao's decision to fight Uesugi Kenshin.

Li Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Three years ago, during the battle of the queen of the palace at Mt. Shirane, Lord Yamamoto Kansuke once told me that the greatest glory in his life was to assist the lord and fight Shinano with Uesugi Kenshin for more than ten years. I was deeply touched at that time, and I still don't believe that I could get out of that battle with my whole body, after all, the whole army was determined to die. ”

Honda Masanobu said with a smile: "I have also heard of the battle of Shirane Mountain, and His Royal Highness and the lord became famous in a battle, and the name of bravery is now known to the world. ”

Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "That battle is just a little luck for me, in the decisive battle, Uesugi Huihu is the first in the world, this is recognized by both the lower and the Imperial Pavilion." And Yuezhong is the only channel for the Uesugi family to go to Luo, and Uesugi Huihu has already infiltrated influence during the period, so if I want to unify the whole territory of Yuezhong in the future, I must defeat Uesugi Huihu in one battle and completely expel his forces from Yuezhong. ”

"Therefore, the battle with Uesugi Huihu will be the key to my Li Xiaoyuezhong's unification battle in the future, and at that time there will be a real showdown between the two sides, and I will not have the luck of Shiraneyama at that time, so I must make this long-term preparation now, and at the same time strengthen myself, understand everything about Uesugi Huihu, otherwise I will definitely not be the opponent of Huihu Gong in the future."

Li Xiao said this, and suddenly said: "Actually, this time my city was trapped, and it was Uesugi Huihu's hands and feet, otherwise the two families of Jimbo and Shiina were not harmonious with each other and were feuding, but this time they were united." There must be the Uesugi family behind this. Fortunately, the ninjas have been in the crowd recently, have you had any information about Echigo? ”

Yokotani Yukiyoshi thought for a moment and said: "Since last year's fifth duel with the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion on Kawanaka Island was unsuccessful, Uesugi Terutora has been living in Harumai Mountain Castle, so there has been no news for half a year, until half a month ago, the lord of Biwa Island, the first wise general of Echigo, Usami Dingman rebelled, and Uesugi Kenshin personally went out from Harumai Mountain Castle to fight. Later, it was rumored that Usami was defeated and died, and the Usami clan was wiped out. ”

"Usami is full of rebellion?" When Li Xiao heard the news, he couldn't help but think of the legendary originator of Echigo-Liu's military science under the rock rejection city.

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a noise behind the room.
