Hiding in the haystack, Usami Nami, who was in a coma, seemed to have had a very long dream, and the past eighteen years of life seemed to be like a reflection, passing by in front of her eyes.

Born in the picturesque city of Biwa Island, her favorite thing as a child was to climb the mountains, sit on her father's lap, look at the blue sea outside Fukupu Bay opposite, and then listen to the sound of the undulating tide and fall asleep.

Later, as Usaminami grew up, she became more and more delicate, and everyone she saw called her the first beauty in Echigo, so there were more and more wealthy families in Echigo who came to propose marriage.

But she is not moved, as the daughter of Echigo's first wise general Usami Dingman, she naturally has a different vision, and she does not marry if she is not a hero.

At the age of fifteen, three months before the martial daughter's ceremony.

In the bright spring of Piwashima City, an uninvited guest suddenly came.

Usami remembered that her father and a large group of people were respectfully accompanying the man at that time.

At that time, surrounded by dozens of samurai, this man behaved solemnly, although he did not make deliberate movements, he was so uncommon among the crowd, so dazzling and dazzling, that people could see each other at a glance.

The man stayed in Biwa Island Castle for three days and then left, and during the three days, Usami Nami looked at the man's room in a daze.

At that moment, Usami knew that her heart was moving.

Later, Usami finally couldn't hold back and asked her father.,From his mouth, I learned the other party's name.,That man is the world-famous Echigo dragon.,The incarnation of Bishamonten in the world.,The princess of my father.,Hui Hugong.。

The moment she learned the identity of the other party, the girlish feelings in Usami's chest turned into bitter wine.

Because in Echigo, everyone knows that Uesugi Terutora has dedicated his life to Bishamonten and kept the precepts of Buddhism, so he vowed not to be close to women for the rest of his life.

Usami knows that she is hopeless, and although she hurts herself, she does not regret it.

Because Uesugi Terutora is a hero, and if you like it, you just like it.

After that, Usami Nami has been bothering to inquire about all kinds of news about Hui Hugong.

She heard that Hui Hugong was not invincible in the world, and among his many opponents, there was one of the most powerful named Takeda Shingen, who was on a par with him.

So she worked hard to learn military science from her father, and she always had an unrealistic hope in her heart, hoping that she would one day help Hui Hugong and come up with a plan to deal with Takeda Shingen.

Although she was talented in this area, her father admired that if she were a boy, he would definitely pass on the position of head of the Usami family to her.

When she heard her father's boasting, she just smiled bitterly, to be honest, she didn't like any military science at all, how did her father know the purpose of her liking military science.

However, as my father said, the daughter of the martial arts family will eventually get married.

In the end, she was still unable to decide her own fate, and she obeyed her father's wishes.

Three months ago, her father finally set a marriage for her, and she was married to Nagao Yoshikei, the son of Nagao Masaki, the lord of Sakamoto Castle.

Nagao Masaki was a member of the Uesugi family, and he himself led the Ueda people, and was an important combat force in the Echigo army.

However, no one expected that her father's arrangement of this marriage for her was a plot to hide evil intentions.

Just a month before the wedding, Usami Joman arranged for Nagao Masaki, and Nagao Yoshikei and the two of them went to Nojiri Pond for a visit.

While the two were swimming in the lake, Usami Dingman suddenly sent ninjas to scuttle the boat they were on, causing the father and son to drown.

After killing Nagao Masaki's father and son, Usami Seamitsu is ready to connect with Takeda and the Shiina family to raise the flag to rebel.

However, Uesugi Terutora still defeated Usami Dingman, and reacted well, and when he learned of the death of Nagao Masaki's father and son, he surprised him by attacking Biwa Island Castle.

When Usami Nami followed her father to the castle tower, the father and daughter watched as the Echigo army under the castle surrounded Biwa Island Castle.

Father touched Usami Nami's head on the spot, sighed and said: Hui Tiger Gong is the strongest person in Echigo after all, and I, Usami, am not as good as full.

Immediately, Usami Dingman gave an order, gave up resistance, and went out of the city in white clothes, and apologized in front of the three armies.

Usami saw this with her own eyes, and immediately afterward, the Usami clan opened the castle and surrendered.

At that time, although the Usami clan surrendered, they did not have much to worry about, because everyone knew that Teruko was tolerant and had mercy even for those who betrayed.

This time, though, they were wrong.

The alert Usami was aware of the situation and escaped from the hut where she was imprisoned, but after escaping, she saw that Biwajima Castle, where the Usami clan was imprisoned, was burning in the night sky.

Since then, the famous Usami clan and the famous city of Biwajima Castle have been annihilated in the fire.

At this moment, Usami Nami's heart is completely dead, and how deep her love for Uesugi Terutora is, and how deep her hatred is.

In front of the burned Biwa Island Castle, she swore a heavy vow to use her life's strength to overthrow the Uesugi family.

Usami was hiding in the haystack, and the straw covering her had been picked open with a knife.

When the other party saw someone hiding in the haystack, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing that the other party was staring at herself, looking up and down, Usami was not panicked at all, and this time she fled to Kai, she pretended to be a man and learned men's attire.

Since I was a child, I liked to watch Noh music, so I often learned the pronunciation of Noh musicians, so I can imitate the speech of young men by kneading falsetto.

Therefore, she is confident that there is no problem with this outfit, and it will not be easy for people to see that she is a woman.

And the burly man standing in front of him, she also knew who the other party was, it was Li Xiao, the fierce general of the Takeda family who was fighting against Uesugi Terutora in Shirane Mountain, Iwajijo.

From the conversation she had just had, she knew that she, like this man, was a common adversary, Kamisugi Teru.

Then with the help of this person's hand, let's eradicate Huihu Lord for me and avenge the great revenge of the Usami clan. Usami thought so in her heart.

"Can you give me a bowl of water?"

Usami first counted the words in her heart.

After Usami Nami made her request, she saw this Li Xiao smile and ordered someone to take a bowl of water and hand it to herself.

"Hungry?"

Hearing the other party's question, Usami shook her head, put down the bowl in her hand, and wiped the water stains with her hand in front of her lips like a samurai.

Immediately, Usami Nami knelt in front of Li Xiao like a samurai, and said with a straight face: "Is Your Excellency the world-famous Tajima Mamoru Lord?" ”

"Exactly."

"I'm sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation just now, but I'm the one I just said about the Usami clan, and I'm the only one left in the Usami clan today."

"In the lower Usami Shengxing, meet Lord Li Xiao, I came here to Kai in the hope that the Takeda family can replace my Usami family and revive the family name, and at the same time I hope that the Lord can let me become Your Excellency Samurai."

"The Usami clan?" Usami Nami shook her head when she saw Li Xiao and said, "What can you prove?" ”

Usami calmly explained the information of the Usami clan and Biwajima Castle carefully, and finally said: "The above is what I can provide, please check the authenticity of the adult." ”

After listening to Usami Nami's words, Li Xiao thought for a while and said: "I see that Your Excellency is thin and weak, and it seems that you are not as good at fighting as a samurai, but Your Excellency is quick thinking and insightful, and the information just now is very organized, and it is worthy of the Usami clan who is good at resourcefulness." ”

"But your identity, I still need to verify, now leave you by my side and serve as the flag book."

"Thank you, sir." Usami Nami said excitedly, but secretly said in her heart, father, brother, your spirits in the sky must protect me, bless me Nami to fulfill her wishes.

Spring mountain city.

Uesugi Kennobu held his hands on the railing of the fourth floor of the castle tower, his Wu costume fluttering in the wind, the wind permeating the fresh scent of the sea, and the view in front of him was a prosperous castle town.

"How's the Usami clan going?" Uesugi Kenshin asked indifferently.

"Returning to the lord, your subordinates have taken matters into their own hands and burned them together with Biwa Island Castle." Naoe Jinggang said in a deep voice.

"What?" Uesugi Kenshin turned around, slammed the bamboo cane in his hand on Naoe Keixuna's body, and said angrily, "I didn't ask you to exile them to Sado, when did you tell you to kill them?" ”

After receiving this blow from Uesugi Kenshin, Naoe Keixuna got up again and said, "My lord, you can't be merciful anymore, since ancient times, you can only kill the rebels without mercy. Otherwise, the other wealthy families in Echigo will think that the lord is tolerant, and they just test the final bottom line of the lord without scruples. How can such a lord be able to rule Echigo, the entire Kanto. ”

"I'm Huihu doing things, it's not your turn to teach me." Uesugi Kenshin slapped another heavy cane on Naoe's back.

After a pause, Uesugi Ken said: "I, Uesugi Teruto, have practiced righteousness all my life, but I also know that there is a conflict between righteousness and reality. And of course, you are loyal to my Uesugi family, but I will never agree with the method. ”

After speaking, Uesugi Kenshin threw the bamboo battle in his hand down the high castle tower.

With the fall of the bamboo battle, the past surfaced in his heart at this moment,

That year, he Uesugi Kenshin had not inherited the name of the Uesugi family, had not yet played in Odawara, and was not yet the governor of the Kanto region.

He rode to Biwa Island Castle to find Usami Seimitsu and discuss going out to Kanto.

At the shrine of Bensaitenjinja, he saw a young woman who was not yet dressed, surrounded by six shrine maidens holding copper bells, folding fans, and yang copper branches, playing a horizontal flute.

It was March and the cherry blossoms were dancing like fireflies.

Under the cherry blossom tree, Uesugi Kenshin looked at the flower-like woman, and the melodious sound of the flute was penetrating to his heart, and he will never forget that scene for the rest of his life.

And in the blink of an eye, the woman and her Usami clan dissipated together.

Looking at the falling bamboo cane at this moment, Uesugi Ken's confidence suddenly felt an unprecedented pain.
