When Li Huamei overpassed the guards' obstruction and appeared in Honmaru, Sasa Narumasa had already taken a good time to straighten out his messy clothes and long hair, and his originally curled up body was also straight, as if he had suddenly become taller.

Not only was Li Huamei surprised by the difference between Zuo Chengzheng and the description, but even Keiji, who had witnessed the depressed scene of Chengzheng in the past few days, opened his mouth wide and looked shocked.

Could it be that Zuo Zuo Chengzheng has always had a crush on Li Huamei, so when the beauty comes, he will deliberately behave?

As soon as this unreliable idea appeared, Keiji shook his head vigorously and extinguished it.

How can it be!

Not to mention the first lady Guidie in Mino, even in the territory of Echigo, there are also Uesugi Teruto, Ayahime, Ii Naotora, Sasaharu and others, even if Chengmasa is really an old cow who will not get tired, he doesn't have so much time to cultivate Li Huamei's field.

Thinking of this, Qingci's eyes rolled, could it be...... Li Huamei held the handle of Cheng Zheng, which made Cheng Zheng have to cheer up and deal with it?

Li Huamei approached at this time, and said with a smile:

"I heard you're sick."

While staring at Li Huamei and the two attendants behind her, Sazuo Chengzheng was thinking in his heart about the reason why she suddenly came here.

Businessmen are profitable, although Li Huamei is a patriotic red businessman, but after all, he is still a businessman, if there is a business matter to come to him, it is not surprising that Chengzheng is not at all.

But what if not?

"That's right, I'm sick, otherwise you wouldn't have seen such a dirty and sloppy me."

Sung Seong-jeong lifted his sleeves and grinned self-deprecatingly.

"If you are sick, you have to be treated, the doctor of my fleet will be here soon, and he will give you a pulse and diagnose the condition."

Hua Mei was silent about the motives and purpose of coming this time, and Zuo Zuo Chengzheng did not urge when he saw this, flicked his sleeves, and turned sideways to ask:

"Then, as the lord of Hojo Castle, I am honored to have the Admiral, so please sit inside."

Entering the reception room, the two sat separately, Cheng Zheng was about to make tea himself, but Li Huamei waved her hand and drove A Zhisha and Song Yifeng out.

"Please hold your back."

Sasa Naruma was a little surprised in his heart, and he did it very interestingly, and even deliberately let Guoxin and Chiyonu both rationalize this room.

Of course, Chiyonu will listen to him, but what is the heart...... Cheng Zheng also didn't know if this woman would eavesdrop.

"I've heard you've been doing a good job in the past two years."

After receiving a cup of black tea brewed by Cheng Zheng, Li Huamei leaned back against the chair and lifted Erlang's legs.

Her apricot eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Cheng Zheng like a leopard examining its prey.

In response to her, there was only a wry smile from Cheng Zheng.

"That's a good mix? It took me several years to become the favored servant of a governor, which is analogous to the Celestial Empire, just a small role such as a county prince. ”

Sasa Naimasa shook his head and sighed.

He originally optimistically thought that it would take ten or even eight years to sweep away the mud and bombard an island in Honshu, but since the Battle of Barrel Sasama, he has been wasted for four years, but he has not even been able to steal a Lingguo, perhaps he has become a ronin and has become a daimyo with tens of thousands of stone territory, and he is already a legend in the eyes of many people.

But people can't compare with those people, right?

If Cheng Zheng always compares himself with these people in the mud bomb island country, then he doesn't have to do anything, he can enjoy a sense of superiority while lying down, until he dies of old age.

"Although the county is a meagre man, he is the official who controls the real power of a county, so you don't have to be too arrogant."

Li Huamei took a sip of hot tea gently, Rao was always picky, but she couldn't help but say "good".

"It's not suitable to drink black tea in summer, but this tea tastes the same after being brewed by your hands, I really didn't expect you to have talent in the tea ceremony."

"What kind of talent is this...... The so-called article is natural, the magic hand is even obtained, the tea art is a piece, there is no fixed rule, as long as it follows the heart, according to the different characteristics of tea to treat differently, you can make good tea. ”

Zuo Zuo Chengzheng is still dressed sloppily, but his speech and demeanor at the moment give people a rare grandmaster demeanor, which Li Huamei secretly appreciates.

"Question, this mud bombardment, what a special hypocrisy! I hate it! Whether it's a lord in a high position or a samurai with a slight status, they think they are doing what they want, and then they ask others to do the same, and sometimes I wonder, why did I choose to work on this island? I'm having a convulsion! ”

After hearing Cheng Zheng's complaint, Li Huamei's eyes lit up, and she immediately laughed with a joking gesture:

"In that case, how about you go with me to the west to sell tea? From Malacca to the Mediterranean, crooked nuts are highly respected for our tea, and with your understanding of the tea ceremony, you will definitely be able to capture those barbarian pits. ”

This was originally a joke, but to Sazuo Chengzheng's ears, it seemed that what Li Huamei said was really like that.

He suddenly remembered the reason why Hua Mei came here to find him, and his heart was even more confused.

"To tell the truth, Huamei, you came to Hojo Castle as soon as you got off the boat, what is it for?"

"If I said I was asking you to come with me to Europa to sell tea, you wouldn't believe it?"

Li Huamei smiled, took out a letter from her arms, and pushed it in front of Cheng Zheng:

"Your lord, the lord of Echigo Province, Uesugi Terutora, has written such a strange letter, let me enlighten you, and hope that you will not do anything extreme.

Cheng Zheng took the letter and quickly read it, smiling dumbly.

"I didn't expect her to tell you about it, it seems that she really trusts you."

Li Huamei's eyes were full of emotion, although she was only one year older than Cheng Zheng, but Li Huamei lost her father at an early age, and in the next ten years, she has been crisscrossing the three oceans, and when it comes to the ups and downs she has experienced, she is no less than Cheng Zheng, of course she understands Cheng Zheng's distress...... And, the reason why Uesugi Terutora did it.

Yes! Li Huamei can understand the reason why Uesugi Teruhu lost his own son to Kanetoyo Higuchi to raise, but Sasa Naruma can't understand!

"Since you agreed to her request to come to Hojo Castle, how do you want to persuade me?"

"Although Tora Chiyo did go too far in this matter, I still have to tell you that she did this to protect you!"

Nani?

Cheng Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, Hui Hu was obviously protecting her sister Ayahime, how could it become to protect herself?

"If that child is really raised as the eldest son of Ayahime and the heir of the Uesugi family, do you think the secret of who his biological mother is can be hidden?"

"If it were common sense, Ayahime, as Sister Uesugi's own sister, should help her protect this secret, but Ayahime seems to have a lot of resentment towards me, so this matter may not be ...... As long as she is not resentful, it will always be a time bomb, and this matter may be exposed at any time, after all, the inheritance that should have belonged to her son was taken away by Huihu's child, and I, who should have been her husband, didn't like her very much, and if this secret was known, it should probably have been passed on from Ayahime. ”

Sasa Chengzheng himself tried to analyze it a little, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If Ayahime can swallow her anger and be a man with her tail between her legs, it's okay to say, but if Ayahime can't bear it anymore and reveals this secret, it will ruin the entire Uesugi family, including all the efforts he Sasa Seimasa made in the four years of Hokuriku, will be in vain!

"Understood, Tora Chiyo did this, in addition to protecting that child, more importantly, to protect you!"

Sasa Chengzheng sat down on the chair like a lightning strike, and after a long time, he said with difficulty:

"Am I really ...... So...... Weak? (To be continued.) )
