52 Homecoming
Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, once said that wealth and nobility do not return to their hometowns, such as walking at night. It means that getting rich and not going back to your hometown is like putting on gorgeous clothes on a big night, and no one can see it.
Feelings such as returning home, Chengzheng does not have.
Moreover, Toki County, the hometown in the traditional sense, has little impression of Chengzheng.
Toki County is located in Higashimino and is the birthplace and base camp of the Toki clan. To the east is Ena County, the territory of the Toki clan's branch of the Akechi clan.
Although Toki County is the old roots of the Toki clan, in the memory of Seimasa, he has never been here.
When he woke up, he was in Daisan Castle in West Minon, not in Toki Township in East Mino.
Despite this, the closer he got to Toki Township, the more Cheng Zheng felt that something was about to move in his body.
Is it really the guidance of the bloodline?
Next to this village called Toki Township, Cheng Zheng came to a construction site.
"Hi hey, hello Uncle Guang'an, I'm here."
Cheng Zheng smiled and greeted the person in charge of the entire project, the gray-haired old man.
Wise Guangan looked at Cheng Zheng, who was sitting on the horse with a leisurely expression, snorted, skimmed his beard and walked off the platform.
"I heard that you arrived in Mino half a month ago, why did you come today?"
He twisted his gray beard and walked slowly towards the butterfly at Chengzheng's side.
"Is it to accompany Princess Guidie? Never mind...... Now that you're here, I don't have to stay here anymore. This is your home city, and there are still thirty days left in the construction period, so see for yourself. β
After wise Guang'an bowed slightly to Gui Die, he took the reins from the squire's hand, turned over on his old horse, and didn't wait for Cheng Zheng's reply, and then pulled the reins and left.
"Uncle Guang'an, don't go so fast...... Thank you very much, and say hello to Guangxiu on my behalf. β
Cheng Zheng waved his hand to say goodbye to Wise Guang'an.
In fact, since Murai Sadakatsu, a capable helper, is assisting in handling large and small affairs related to the construction of the castle, Akechi Guangan is also a senior advisor, as the name suggests, ask when he can take care of it.
Since more than half a month ago, Murai Sadakatsu came to Mino Akechi City to meet Akechi Mitsuhide, and received the second task given to him by Naruma.
That is, to build a castle on the banks of the Toki River.
After negotiating with Akechi Mitsuhide, Murai Sadakatsu went to Toki County with Akechi Mitsuyasu and the craftsmen of the Akechi family and began to prepare for the construction of the castle.
When they were struggling to gather the peasants and were unable to carry out the construction, the general request from Inabayama Castle arrived.
Half a month ago, the construction of the castle on the banks of the Toki River officially began.
"Zhensheng, just now Uncle Guang'an said that there is still a month left in the construction period, is it true?"
Seimasa dismounted, walked to the construction site and found Sadakatsu Murai.
"Yes, this is already the fastest speed, after all, it is only forty-five days......"
"No, there are still twenty-nine days before I marry Guidie, and if the city takes thirty days to be completed, do you want me and Guidie to live on the Toki River?"
Cheng Zheng frowned, his words sounded like finding fault, which made Murai Sadatsu feel that Yali Mountain was big, and Sadatsu wiped the sweat on his forehead and said sincerely:
"Report to the lord, there is really no way to shorten the construction period, if it cannot be completed step by step, the solidity of the city will be reduced, and the farmers are also working hard, please forgive the lord."
Cheng Zheng's brow furrowed again.
The sturdiness of the city?
He felt that there was basically no possibility of this city being attacked, but since Murai Sadakatsu said it so sincerely, it was not good for him to interfere with his arrangements again.
But...... Can't it really be faster?
With this question, Narumasa ate dinner in a daze, and then found a room to lie down and lay down on the tatami mats, thinking about how to speed up the construction period - he even refused Maeda Keiji's request to drink with him, and also rejected Okumura Chief's proposal to hold a small banquet.
How can we do it faster?
Cheng Zheng scratched his head, but he still didn't come up with it.
He decided to go out for a walk.
The moon is big, bright, and round.
The round moon is reflected in the clear Toki River, and there are two full moons in the sky and on the earth, but Seimasa hopes that they are two round cakes...... Ahem, thinking too much, Sasa Narimasa sat on a stone on the bank of the Toki River, and washed his rough stinky feet with the cool river water, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound.
It's all this time, is there still anyone who hasn't slept?
Cheng Zheng turned his head and saw Ah Shi squatting by the river digging in the mud.
This little girl, isn't she afraid that someone will kidnap her when she comes out so late?
"Hey, Ah Shi, go back to the room, it's dark, it's dangerous outside."
Cheng Zheng shouted in the direction of Ah Shi. But Ah Shi just raised his head to look at Cheng Zheng, and then continued to squat and dig in the mud.
"I was originally taken captive by you, am I still afraid of being taken away by others?"
Hey!
I didn't see it, this little Lori is in a good mood.
Cheng Zheng walked over, squatted down and pinched Ah Shiyuan's little face with his hand.
"I am a robber, but I can keep you safe. If it had been another robber, they might have taken you into the woods, stripped you naked, and taken a piece of your blood, and broke you. In the end, when a group of them are all done, you only have half a life left. β
Listening to Cheng Zheng's intimidation, Ah Shi raised her head and rubbed her nose with her dirty hands, and as a result, her little flower face became even more flowery.
"I'm the princess of the Oda family, they don't dare to treat me like this, you lie!"
"The princess of the Oda family? You're just a captive to me, and believe it or not I'm going to throw you into the river? β
"You dare! I'm going to tell my brother to cut you downβ"
Before Ah Shi finished speaking, he felt a whirlwind - this little Lori was lifted upside down by Cheng Zheng, and it became head down and feet up.
Then, Cheng Zheng grabbed Ah Shi's feet and threw them lightly......
"Poof"! What a sound of water!
Ah Shi drank a sip of water, and after choking for a long time, he stood by the water and pointed at Cheng Zheng and scolded:
"You scoundrel!"
"You scolded me? Believe it or not, I'm beating you! β
"Badass!"
Ah Shi stepped on the splash, threw himself into Cheng Zheng's arms in three or two steps, and beat Cheng Zheng's chest with her small fist.
Ah Shi's strength is smaller than that of Guidie, and it is just an itch for Cheng Zheng, who made her only 9 years old.
But, it's strange that Cheng Zheng actually smelled a fragrance.
Cheng Zheng sniffled again, and the fragrance was gone.
- It's a bit paradoxical.
Cheng Zheng grabbed Ah Shi's slender waist, hugged her by the waist, and after snorting next to Ah Shi's pink neck, Cheng Zheng confirmed that this faint fragrance was indeed Ah Shi's body fragrance.
Meow a mi, this Lori actually has a woman's fragrance!
Ah Shi was so embarrassed that his face was red because of his series of actions - of course, because it was a big night, so Cheng Zheng couldn't see it.
"Badass!"
