Chapter 146: Kohata Gate
On the castle tower of Iwatake Castle, the long wind blew through the panes, shaking the partition and shaking it slightly.
Despite the cold air, Yumi Kohata stood in place, her hair fluttering, as if she were a fairy.
Yumi Kohata's eyes were blurred, and there seemed to be something in her eyes, and the last clear tears slipped from her eyes.
Yumi Kohata stretched out her hand to hide her face, but her voice was still very calm: "Lord, I'm sorry, Yumi can't marry you." ”
Li Xiao was surprised and asked, "Why?" ”
Yumi Kohata wiped away her tears, her eyes seemed to reveal a sense of self-injury, and she said calmly: "The lord is a famous general in the world, unparalleled in the world, and he is also the main hall, His Royal Highness Suwa is an important minister, the marriage of the lord, the main hall, His Royal Highness Suwa must have asked." ”
Li Xiao was silent when he heard this.
After a pause, Yumi Kohata said in a deep voice: "When the time comes, the marriage chosen by the lord of the main hall will definitely be a famous family and a noble birth, or the daughter of an important minister of my Takeda family, and then the lord can get a strong arm to further his position in my Takeda family." It is even possible that the main hall will marry the daughter of the Takeda family to the lord, and the lord will become a member of my Takeda family at that time. ”
Li Xiao nodded and said, "Yumi, what you said is good. ”
However, Li Xiao was slightly surprised, Yumi Kohata had never talked to Li Xiao about this matter, but she didn't expect her to have such a clear understanding of this.
In the end, Yumi Kohata lowered her head and said: "Now Yumi's house is broken, and both parents are not noble, and there is nothing that can help the lord, so ...... So. ”
Yumi Kohata said resolutely: "Yumi is not worthy of the lord." ”
"I deserve you."
When Yumi Kohata heard Li Xiao say this, she couldn't help but be surprised, and two tears slid down her face and dripped on the floor.
I saw Li Xiaohe walking up to Yumi Kohata and looking at each other's eyes: "It's not something you should consider whether you are worthy or not, you just need to think that I am worthy of you, and this is enough." ”
After a pause, Li Xiao said again: "Lord Yuguan, I will go and talk about His Royal Highness Suwa." It doesn't matter what kind of noble lady he is, what he likes is the most important. Yumi, you just have to answer me if you want to or not. ”
Yumi Kohata had already raised her head, looked at Li Xiao with soft eyes and asked, "My lord, have you thought about it?" You said that in the Ming Kingdom, men and women have to get along for a period of time before they get married, and if you feel that both parties are suitable or not, in case you feel that Yumi is not suitable for you at that time......"
Li Xiao raised his head, said with a smile: "Before I made this decision, I had already thought very clearly, and I won't regret it." ”
Seeing that Yumi Kohata was still hesitating, Li Xiao asked, "What are you still worried about?" ”
Yumi Kohata snorted and asked, "Yumi has another question, in Kunifeng Castle, His Royal Highness and Yumi met for the first time. Why did His Royal Highness say at that time, 'Since ancient times, beauties and famous generals are not allowed to see white heads in the world'? ”
After a pause, Yumi Kohata looked at Li Xiao, with a firm meaning in his eyes, and said: "The lord is a famous general, and Yumi is also ...... She can also be called a beauty. ”
Li Xiao didn't expect Yumi Kohata to suddenly ask this, it was just a casual remark he said at the time, but he didn't expect her to remember it all the time.
Li Xiaozhi was afraid that she would become a prophecy, so she smiled and said: "Where am I a famous general, but I have some luck, and Yumi, you are not a beauty, if you are a beauty, if you don't even have the confidence to marry me, and you cry all the time, what kind of beauty is it?" ”
Yumi Kohata looked at Li Xiao in a daze, then nodded her head slightly, and then smiled again, at this moment her tears were not dry, but she was smiling.
Li Xiao has always believed that the moment a woman breaks into tears and laughs is the most beautiful for them.
It is as if an iceberg is melting, touching people's hearts.
Li Xiao couldn't help but hug Yumi Kohata in her arms, Yumi Kohata struggled slightly, and she didn't refuse too much.
Then Li Xiao lowered his head and kissed ...... The snow outside the castle tower was falling even more heavily, and the north wind was howling, and the wind was carrying the heavy snow on the ground, but at this moment, the castle tower of Iwatake Castle was as warm as spring.
"Lord, lord!"
Hearing someone calling, Yumi Kohata was afraid that someone would break upstairs, so she hurriedly pushed Li Xiao away.
Li Xiao was so angry that his old face turned red, and he really wanted to catch the person who disturbed the world of the two of them, and bounce him to death.
"Nima's, what's the matter?"
Li Xiao changed his image and yelled at the staircase.
"Return...... Return, lord, Dazang Chang'an is performing ape music, please lord...... Let's take a look. ”
"I'll kill you!"
Li Xiaogang turned around and saw that Yumi Kohata had already reached the staircase, and went downstairs to cover his mouth with his sleeve and smiled at Li Xiao.
After Li Xiao showed a smile on his face, he also went downstairs.
Braziers were erected on all four walls of the castle tower, and many of them crackled with charcoal fires, and the inside of the house was warm.
When Li Xiao went downstairs, several nearby warriors got up to greet him, and Li Xiao walked over directly and sat on the stacked seat in the position of the city lord, and a servant girl came up to pour him wine.
And the warriors under Li Xiao's command each had a small wooden table in front of them, and the wine bottles near them were placed crookedly.
Dressed in short-sleeved shorts and dressed in short clothes, Dazang Chang'an sang and danced in the center, and the samurai sat there watching and laughing at the performance.
"From that mountain, from this mountain, what is it that jumps?"
"Pull two things up on your head and jump around."
"It's a rabbit."
As the performance of Dazang Chang'an ended, all the warriors and their families laughed again.
Li Xiao looked at Yumi Kohata and saw that she was sitting next to her younger brother Xiaoxian Kohata.
Xiaoxian Kohata is Xingruomaru, who was rescued by Li Xiao together with the Kohata sisters in Guofeng City.
Yan refused to serve after the war, which was promised to him by Li Xiao before.
And Li Xiao, as his ebony hat, personally held a ceremony for him and became his nominal protector.
According to the practice of the Warring States period, Li Xiao had to give a word in his name to Xingruomaru.
So the name of Yuwakamaru's yuan service has become Kohata Xiaoxian. This is also a precedent for me to receive a word from the people of the Ming Kingdom. However, the constitutional character of Kohata Xiaoxian is the common character of the Kohata clan of Ueno Province. The word Xiao is in front, and the word Xian is in the back, in order to indicate the dignity of the previous word.
In fact, the family of the Kohata clan is not behind the non-famous family that Yumi Kohata said.
The Kohata clan is from a branch of the Kodama Party in the Musashi Seven Parties, and the ancestor Taira Fumi is a branch of the Huanwu Taira clan, and he is also a descendant of the Taira clan.
It's just that Yumi Kohata's branch has always been a common stream, but no matter how much it is a common stream, it is much more than the three generations of the Hojo Hayakumo family who pretended to be a descendant of the Taira clan.
So now Kohata Xiaoxian has become the descendant of inheriting the name of the Kohata family, and shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving his father Kohata Keimazumi.
And what's even more different is that as long as Li Xiao and Yumi Kohata get married, Kohata Xiaoxian will officially become Li Xiao's kin, although it is not a public, but it is like a public.
Li Xiao looked left and right, seeing that the banquet had almost been held, and everyone was already happy, and then clapped his hands together three times in a row.
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
Although everyone was drunk, they were all half sober at the moment.
Li Xiao looked at everyone, glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "Today, I want to announce something here, and I want to officially marry Yumi Kohata as my main room." ”
As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, the warriors were in an uproar.
