131 I am who I am
After the plan to go to Beijing was agreed, Yoriji stayed at Matsushiro Castle for another half a month, after which he went to Hojo Castle, next door to Matsushiro Castle, to take over the castle and the nearby territory of 10,000 koku, and also took time to go to Kashiwazaki Port.
After the Great War, the change and transfer of the seal in the Echigo collar were quickly completed.
The distance of the transfer is very close, and there is no family property to move, but the biggest reason is because spring ploughing is coming.
In spring and autumn, one ploughing and one harvest, usually do not mobilize large-scale soldiers to fight, to a certain extent, Takeda Harunobu is in a hurry to withdraw Shinano, there is also the arrival of spring ploughing, people's hearts and minds.
After entering Hojo Castle, Yoriji sent Haru to Fudoyama Castle to pick up Aichi Lori, and after holding a banquet for his family, Higuchi Kanetoyo, a guest came to Hojo Castle.
When Usami came to Hojo Castle tremblingly, Raiji was not surprised.
Usami lived for such a long time, and only had one son and a daughter.
However, his son Usami Katsuyuki followed Nagao Masaki out of the city and died, leaving only Usami Nami's daughter.
He once entrusted Usami Nami to Sasa Chengzheng, and this time, he probably sent his daughter here.
- Usami's family has been removed, and if Dingman didn't come to rely on Yoriji, he really can't think of any reason.
It was in the Honmaru castle tower of Hojo Castle that Yoriji met with the father and daughter of Usami Joman.
"It's really gratifying that Usami-sama is recovering."
"The life of the old man was saved by Lord Zuozuo, and it is really gratifying to see that Engong is also recovering well."
Usami Dingman first put on a top hat for Raiji, of course, hoping to further win the favor of the other party.
"Akito doesn't say dark words, but Usami-sama is here, what advice do you have?"
- It's really straightforward, Usami sighed in her heart.
"The old man is here this time for the sake of the little girl. Previously, under Kasugayama Castle, the old man had asked an adult to take care of Nami......"
Halfway through his words, Usami stopped to look at Raiji's reaction, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Because Toki Yoriji is very calm!
Lai Ci is still in the same position as he was at the beginning, reclining on a low stool and supporting his forehead with his hands, looking casual and cold.
"This time, the old man brought the little girl to ......"
Usami Dingman gritted his teeth.
"I hope that the adults can accept the little girl as a side room and serve the left and right!"
"Nani!"
Raiji Toki was still sitting and didn't react, and Usami jumped up.
"Daddy, didn't you say to express your gratitude, why did you let me marry him again!"
"Nami...... Sit down! β
Usami frowned and snorted.
"I don't care! I don't want to marry such a murderous beastβ"
Syllable!
"Brute!"
Seeing that her daughter was getting more and more out of tune, Usami was so angry that she stood up and slapped Nami.
Nami has been pampered since she was a child, and she was regarded as the pearl of her palm by her father and brother, so how could she have been beaten?
"You...... Hit me! You're still calling me a brute! β
She pointed at her old father and screamed.
"It's you who beat you, why don't you kneel down for Lord Zozo!"
Usami was full of emotion.
"Ahem......"
Toki Yoriji in the high position cleared his throat, and Usami Jomitsu suddenly turned around and sat down respectfully.
"Usami-sama...... If love is unwilling, there is no need to force it. β
Hearing that Lai Ci didn't pay much attention to this marriage, the old man's heart sank.
"I don't think I'll be degraded to the point where I'm proud of marrying a samurai from the Usami family."
Lai Ji's words made Usami Dingman stunned when he heard it.
After the Genji clan?
Dingman doesn't remember any noble bloodline of the Owari Sasa clan, maybe the Sasa clan will claim to be a branch of the famous Sasaki clan, but who would believe that in that case?
Putting aside this suspicion, Raiji emphasized that "the Ji samurai of the Usami family" really slapped him in the face!
The Usami family has been banished, and Usami has no territory or retainers, but only the identity of a samurai and the title of "Echigo-ryu military lawyer" remain.
So, of course, Usami Nami is no longer the princess of the Usami family, but a samurai of the Usami family.
"Aren't you just an upstart, don't want the villain to be ambitious, my Usami family doesn't need to rely on you at all!"
Usami Dingman was still thinking about how to respond, and his good daughter had already exploded like gunpowder, pointing at Toki Raiji's nose and began to scold:
"Speaking of which, you're just a lost dog who escaped from Owari, so what qualifications do you have to comment on my Usami family!"
- Such an insult as a lost dog is a great insult to any samurai at the level of a family elder or castle lord.
Toki Raiji just smiled, and after changing to a slightly more comfortable position, he took a moment to say:
"If you're willing to be a samurai of Hime, I'll give you the rank of Ashigaru Shogun, but that's all."
- That's all?
Usami Dingman suddenly realized, it turns out that the other party doesn't look down on him at all!
This couldn't help but make him a little angry and a little anxious.
Usami's family is not a famous family, but it is also one of the former Echigo tyrants, but ...... The tiger fell to Pingyang, and he wanted to take the opportunity to send his daughter to temporarily send food here in Zuozuo Chengzheng, and then take the opportunity to return to Changwei Jinghu's side afterwards.
But I didn't expect that, I never expected, Toki Raiji would be so arrogant that he couldn't look down on them at all!
Just as he was thinking about it, Toki Yoriji had already stood up.
"Lord Dingman, unless you are willing to be my retainer, please go back."
After picking out the hole cards, Raiji also gave an eviction order, and without waiting for Usami to react to the father and daughter, he got up and left.
"Yaga!"
Syllable!
Usami was furious, and Usami Dingman was even more angry, and shook his hand and gave her daughter an ear scraper.
"Say no more! Come back with me! β
The old man pulled his daughter deep and shallow to leave Hojo Castle, the sun was shining outside, but his face was extremely gloomy.
He really couldn't figure out how the approachable Sasa Narimasa under the castle of Kasuga Yamajo had become like this?
Commanding, born noble, the owner of unparalleled self-confidence and pride.
Strong is very powerful, but he looks down on himself at all!
What else to say unless he goes to be his retainer...... Arrogance, what arrogance!
Standing on the second floor of the castle tower, Toki Raiji watched Usami's father and daughter leave, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
He really looked down on the Usami family, and he didn't think that the Usami family, who had lost their territory, had the possibility of alliing with him.
As he said, unless Usami was willing to be his retainer, it would never be possible to marry the Usami family.
After looking around and confirming that Shenxue was not beside him, Toki Raiji suddenly said to the air:
"Come out, I know you have a lot of questions."
Sister Guoxin came out in response, looked at Toki Raiji suspiciously, and before she could clear her thoughts, she heard Raiji say:
"I know you've seen me and followed me, so you're wondering how I compare, right?"
There was surprise in Guoxin's eyes, this Toki Raiji is too smart!
"Yes."
After thinking about it again, Guoxin still admitted.
She did follow Yoriji, and it was after Sasa Narumasa came out of Kasuga Mountain Castle, and Yoriji met a young woman at night.
"Let's put it this way...... Before, I could only appear temporarily, so I spared no effort to destroy everything I encountered, but now it's different. β
It's different now?
Sister Guoxin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"I am who I am, do you understand?"
