5 The sound of falling rain
Due to the murder of his father, Toki Yorii, Seimasa became an orphan as a matter of course.
In this case, even if he was introduced to the "Tiger of Owari" Oda Nobuhide, it was useless, so Sasa's father and son were kind and simply left the child at home and raised him as the son of Sasa's family.
As the son of the Sasa family, Narumasa spent 7 years safely in Owari.
Today, it is the eighteenth year of astronomy (1549), and Cheng Zheng is 14 years old.
The identity of the son-in-law of the Toki family has long been hidden in the depths by him and his adoptive father Sasa Morimasa, and no one knows.
"Yosa, after a while, you will go to the young master Nobunaga and be a small surname."
When his father, Sasa, said this with a smile, Chengzheng was like a thunderbolt, and he suddenly felt that his future would be dark.
"Father, Yosa is also the son of a samurai, and since he has made contributions on the battlefield, I don't want to be Nobunaga's nickname!"
Narumasa resolutely objected, and although his adoptive father, Sasa Morimasa, was only the lord (village chief) of the small Hira Castle (village) in Owari Province, he was a propertied samurai, and he could inherit his father's samurai status.
Oda Nobunaga's surname?
Who doesn't know that Oda Nobunaga loves to poke chrysanthemums?
Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that Inuchiyo, who was born in the same year as Chengzheng, has already gone to Nobunaga's side a year in advance to make a small surname. Although I don't know if this Inuchiyo is the historical Maeda Toshiya, I heard that Inuchiyo is very beautiful and better than a woman!
Nobunaga, the young master of the Oda family, is 16 years old, and he usually does all kinds of evil, both men and women eat, and he is a well-known universal plug.
Lao Tzu is a straight man, and he is the most annoying thing!
"Yosa, the young master Nobunaga has always had high hopes for the lord, and he himself has many outstanding points, you will definitely like him."
A young man who had just shaved his Mediterranean hairstyle, that is, Narumasa's eldest brother, Sasa Masaji, persuaded him bitterly.
He didn't mention it, but as soon as Cheng Zheng heard the word "like", he immediately jumped three feet high.
"Young Master Ben likes women! Not a man! Again, Lao Tzu don't have a base with Oda Nobunaga!
"It's hard to be a little surname or something!!"
The old man saw that Chengzheng was resolute, and he couldn't bear to persecute him anymore, but he was just a subordinate, but he had to do many things. Although the Sasa family claims to be the heir of the famous Sasaki clan, he has never mixed well in the Owari country. It is well known that Oda Nobuhide, the head of the Oda family, relied on his son-in-law Nobunaga, and at this time, the large and small wealthy families attached to the Oda family also sent hostages one after another.
Smaller surnames are easier to get in touch with daimyo than hostages, and they can also take this opportunity to fight for their exploits as soon as possible and get rewards. What's more, Narumasa was a person named by Nobunaga himself, and he could not be refused.
Otherwise, how will he mix with the Sazuo family in Liangcheng (Village) in the future? Whether the family name can be passed down is a question!
Thinking of this, Sasa Morimasa's face turned dark.
"I'm going to mess around with Sakyu! Half a month later, my father will pack up for you, and then I will obediently go to the ancient wild city. This matter is so decided, if you don't comply, don't eat, starve to death! ”
"If you starve to death, you will starve to death, it's a big deal that I will go to Wasteland City to join Brother Lijiu!"
Cheng Zheng was also angry, and he squeezed away his adoptive father Sazuo Shengzheng and was about to escape from home.
Sasa Masaji blocked the door, and only stretched out one hand to hold Naruma. Sasa Masaji leaned into Chengzheng's ear and whispered a word, and Chengzheng immediately quieted down.
The silence is incredible.
Even Masacji Sasa, who said this, would never have imagined this result. He told Narumasa that in a few days, Princess Mino's princess would marry Owari, and I heard that it was a great beauty, and if she was a small surname by the side of the young lord Nobunaga, she would definitely be able to see this big beauty often.
But Cheng Zheng's reaction was not at all excited, surprised, or expectant.
It's weird, it's not scientific.
"Okay, I'll go."
Narumasa pushed Sasa Masaji away and strode out, but Sasa Masaji became surprised.
It's only February, the spring is cold, and the dead grass on the roadside has not yet sprouted.
The north blows, and Chengzheng's heart is as cold as this weather.
A light rain fell, and Cheng Zheng stepped on the road and walked step by step, lost his soul.
The rain soaked his clothes and hair, and finally made Sung Zheng feel the bitter cold. Before he knew it, he had really walked under the desert city.
Cheng Zheng smiled bitterly.
He sneezed three times in a row, and finally arrived in the castle, and entered Maeda Toshihisa's room to change into dry clothes.
"The rain doesn't stop falling...... Flowers, how to never bloom...... Despite my careful irrigation, if you say you don't love it, you don't love it...... I...... Alone, appreciate the sorrowful ......"
Naruma sang a song, and the tune was changeable and abnormal, which made Maeda Toshihisa feel very unfamiliar.
Still, it's pretty good.
But Cheng Zheng didn't say it, and Li Jiu was embarrassed to ask, after all, Cheng Zheng's expression was the same as that of his dead father, and everyone could understand it.
In response to the song of Chengzheng, the rain kept falling.
Gui Die stared at the water droplets that flowed from the eaves, his expression was dull, and his expression was blank.
Just ten days ago, her father, Michizo Saito, made the decision to form an alliance with the Oda family, and as a symbol and reality of the alliance between the two families, she was going to marry Oda Nobunaga, the sister-in-law of the Oda family.
…… That rumored Owari big fool.
Gui Die's feeling about this is only resistance.
Because in the summer of seven years ago, his brother Saito Yoshiryu only brought back the head of Toki Yoriyi, and did not bring back the body of Narumasa.
Therefore, for Guidie, Cheng Zheng is still not dead!
As long as she is not dead, she will not give up.
Saito Michizo took out a delicate short knife from his sleeve and put it in front of Gui Die with a "click".
"If Nobunaga is really the rumored big fool, then use this knife to kill him."
Gui Die's face was expressionless and did not react. But Michizo knew that his daughter had understood what he meant.
Even if she doesn't want to? After all, women are just tools for the depictions to cross and close, and even if Guidie doesn't want to go, he has to go.
The father and daughter sat opposite each other for a long time, and Dao San finally couldn't hide his love for his daughter and told her a secret.
"I know you've always liked the kid of the Toki family. Back then, I sent your eldest brother to hunt down Toki Laiyi, but I didn't kill him. If my guess is correct, that kid from the Toki family should be in Owari Province. I won't force you to marry until Owari, it's up to you to decide whether to go or stay. ”
Only then did Gui Die slowly put the short knife into his arms and smiled.
"Owari, I'll go.
"It's just that when I get to Owari, maybe this knife will stab my father."
Dao San felt bitter in his heart, stood up, and left without looking back.
