P.S: Today's first update, there will be a chapter in the afternoon, please support more.

Long Shaocong quickly whipped up his horse and hurried back to Azuchi Castle, thinking that Oda Katsucho would be ecstatic because of his return, Princess Hideko would cry with joy because of his great calamity, and even Xiao Meizi would be overjoyed when she saw him for the first time.

However, to his disappointment, everyone was busy carrying clothes and preparing to rush to Kyoto, and the joy of traveling completely overshadowed the surprise that Long Shaocong had returned safely, making him depressed.

Oda Katsunaga, who was directing the carrying of the goods, saw Long Shaocong leading the horse back, jumped down from the ox cart, laughed and said: "Long Shao, you are back, hurry up and go in and pack your clothes, my father has captured the Yamato country, we have to set off for Shangluo immediately, don't delay everyone's trip because of you." After saying that, he threw off his big sleeves and ran to Princess Hideko and Meizi's house to help.

For this kind of lord of the opposite sex and inhumanity, Long Shaocong had no choice but to scold a few words in his heart, thinking: In order to save everyone, Lao Tzu rode alone to lead away the wolves! Although it was forced......

Just when the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt in his heart, but he saw Princess Hideko looking at him through the window, and the autumn water in his eyes, drunk with mountains and rivers, was as beautiful as a cloud, and his feelings of concern, longing, and concern were overflowing.

Only this hope made the resentment in Long Shaocong's heart disappear, and at this time, he wanted to run over the most, share his heartfelt feelings with the Yiren, talk about what he had thought in the past few days, and comfort the pain of the detention trip. But Princess Hideko saw him standing there stupidly, with no intention of leaving, so she hurriedly waved her hand and signaled him to hurry up.

Long Shaocong knew in his heart that under the mixed mouths of people, this love could not be revealed no matter what, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, so he ran back to his residence very obediently and packed up all his belongings, so as not to delay everyone's trip.

Now he is single, and the things he brings with him are quite simple, a few clothes, a sword, all the belongings, and a rib given to him by Oda Katsunaga. Of course, Long Shaocong never thought that one day in the future, he would use it to commit suicide by seppuku, such a stupid thing, he would not do it, and he rarely carried his ribs with him.

The so-called Shangluo, that is, the local powerful daimyo, led a large army to Kyoto, to meet the Son of Heaven, in order to prove that his soldiers are strong and strong, enough to stand proudly, and its meaning is similar to the ancient Celestial Empire "Winning the Central Plains".

In Japan, the reason why it is said that entering Beijing is Shangluo, because Kyoto is modeled after Luoyang and Chang'an in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and is also called "Luoyang", which shows that at that time Japan admired the prosperity of Chinese culture and learned the strength of Chinese culture, but in later generations China lagged behind the world, this former student did not hesitate to raise the butcher knife to the teacher, and its face changed quickly, and it was really incredible.

And the real situation is even worse than this, Japan covets the splendid rivers and mountains of China, but it does not start from the modern era, as early as the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who basically ended the troubled times of the Warring States Period, thought that he had made outstanding achievements, and the Japanese samurai were the first in the world, so he raised troops to attack the "Dynasty" Xian, and pointed his sword at the Ming Dynasty, and was beaten all over the ground to find teeth.

Therefore, this nation is naturally rebellious, and under its respectful and humble appearance, there is an extremely inflated ambition. Of course, not every Japanese is like this, but this rebellious cultural gene is deeply imprinted in the marrow of this nation.

Looking at the current Warring States Period, it is not difficult to see that almost all the powerful local daimyos, Oda, Takeda, and Mori have obtained power by relying on the lower Kashang, and not only is no one condemned, but a large number of samurai and ronin from all over the world have gone to take refuge.

The traditional wealthy families, the Ashikaga family, the Spo family, the Yamana family, and the Hosokawa family, have all declined, and they have either fallen willingly, or have been expelled and killed by their retainers, and the subordinates who once swore to serve their lives have also betrayed their promises and gone to the new master.

Among them, there is only one exception, Yamanaka Yukimori, a retainer of the Niko family, who is loyal to his deceased lord, but in the end he is in a different place, and his loyal morality and dreams have also disappeared in the filthy sky of Japan.

For Kamiraku, the powerful daimyo in various places can be said to be one after another, sacrificing life and forgetting death, among which Imagawa Yoshimoto, Takeda Shingen, and Uesugi Kenshin all died on the way to Kamiraku, only Oda Nobunaga was a lucky man, after the capture of Mino, and successively eliminated Asakura, Asai, Rokkaku and other forces, Kamiraku succeeded, and with the power of the "Emperor", created a good situation of "the world Buwu".

Of course, Long Shaocong's so-called "Shangluo" is just nothing to amuse, and their trip to Kyoto is more like a parade, with people shouting and neighing along the way, so it's not lively.

Long Shaocong saw that Hasegawa Shuichi was still running before and after, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, maybe the last time the grain, grass, and iron cannon were hijacked, and he was attacked by wolves, which made him feel palpitations, and he didn't dare to miss the slightest mistake.

Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi, who are now Aihara Shoyoshi and Yamakei Ryudai, are wearing brand-new carcasses and walking at the front of the line, both of them are arrogant and coaxing.

Long Shaocong didn't feel dumbfounded when he saw the changes in the two of them, but thinking of their performance in the last battle, it was well deserved to be promoted to the head of the ashigaru group. Thinking of this, Long Shaocong actually had a strange idea, he tried his best to protect the young master this time, which can be said to be a great credit, when he arrived in Kyoto, would His Royal Highness Nobunaga give himself an official.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Oda Katsunaga, and found that the boy was standing by his mother's car, Mrs. Hijikata, with a look of humility and excitement on his face. Outsiders thought that the young master was benevolent and filial and did not forget to protect his mother's safety at all times, and they couldn't help but praise Oda Katsunaga.

However, the real reason, Long Shaocong knows best, just because there is another girl sitting in it-Meizi, of course, Princess Xiuzi is also among them.

In Japan during the Warring States Period, not only was there a shortage of horses, but even the ox carts that the wealthy families sat on were not very sufficient, this time Oda Nobunaga had a whimsical idea and ordered his family to go to Kyoto to spend the New Year together.

There was no way, only Nobunaga's wife Guidie and the lady of the side room, equipped with an ox cart, while the other ladies could only squeeze into the ladies' cart and ride together. And Princess Hideko naturally took Meizi and sat in Mrs. Hijikata's car.

Long Shaocong saw that Oda Katsucho was talking non-stop there, and from time to time there was a silver bell-like laughter of Princess Hideko, but Xiao Meizi didn't give him face at all, although in front of Mrs. Hijikata, he was embarrassed to reply to him with words, but he often applied for coldness, and opened his apricot eyes to him from time to time.

On the other hand, Oda Katsunaga, whenever Meiko looks at herself, whether she is glaring or angry, her face will be filled with a bright smile, and her tendency to like masochism is very serious.

Long Shaocong thought to himself, why didn't he want to be by the side of the beautiful woman all the time and feel the strong affection, but when he thought of the disparity between himself and the princess, he would inevitably bring trouble to Princess Xiuzi in public, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Within thousands of troops, you can fight bravely, why sigh alone here?"

Hearing this, Long Shaocong turned his head and saw that it was Master Miyamoto Wuji, and hurriedly saluted on the horse: "The apprentice has been tired for days, and he feels a little tired, which makes the master bothered." ”

Miyamoto smiled.

"My apprentice has experienced the killing of the war commander, and he knows how to hide things in his heart."

When Long Shaocong heard this, he felt that he couldn't hide it from this master, so he had to speak: "Master is really discerning, and the apprentice is really worried about this matter in his heart. ”

"Can you say that Master knows?"

"Yes, Master!" Long Shaocong's eyes rolled for a moment, and then said, "Before the apprentice asks for advice, can you ask the master a question?" ”

Miyamoto didn't twist his beard and said with a smile: "My disciple has always been simple, how can I beat around the bush, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Long Shaocong's face was suddenly full of shame, and asked: "The apprentice's martial arts are low, and I have seen the battlefield fighting in the past few days, but I also escaped by luck in the siege of the enemy. It suddenly occurred to me that with the master's ability, in today's troubled times, it should not be difficult to pay homage to the marquis and establish meritorious deeds. ”

Miyamoto Wuji smiled and replied, "Apprentice, have you ever remembered what the master asked you when he first taught you swordsmanship?" ”

Long Shaocong replied humbly: "The apprentice is stupid, please make it clear to the master." ”

"Disciple, where is your heart?"

"Heart?"

"Yes, by heart. Regarding joining the office, Lord Hori Hidemasa once mentioned to the teacher that he was willing to recommend to His Royal Highness Nobunaga, but the original intention of the teacher had long been attributed to the way of the sword, and he had no intention of killing on the battlefield, and he was fame and fortune, so he rejected the kindness of Lord Hori Hidemasa. Apprentice, where is your heart, is it different from when you were in Panxi Village? ”

Conscience? Where is my heart? Long Shaocong listened to what the master said, fell into contemplation, at first glance when he heard the word "heart", what he remembered was no longer the leisurely time of the later generations, no longer the simple farmhouse in Panxi Village, but the battlefield battle of swords, Xiaoyaozi's sentence "I am in prison and I don't know it", and finally fixed on the soft shadow and shy smile of Princess Xiuzi.

"Master, the apprentice's heart ......" Long Shaocong just wanted to reply to the master, but saw that Miyamoto Wuji had already slapped his horse and walked forward......
