Chapter 220: The Valkyrie Riding (Six Thousand Chapters)
A girl in a white robe rode a sturdy Kiso horse whistling past, he didn't see the girl's appearance clearly, but the faint aroma when she staggered past attracted attention, and the Ji samurai who dared to swagger through the city in Kyoto had never seen it, especially the white water hanging straight down was very conspicuous.
The girl's rampage through the streets immediately aroused the discussion of the townspeople, and it is rare for such an arrogant samurai to go straight to the streets in Kyoto, and Kira seems to have heard someone chanting words like "countryman".
"Keijiro, keep up with the Ji samurai in front!" The white-robed girl made such a big noise, of course, it also attracted the attention of Kira Yoshitoki, and he chased after him on his mount with a low shout.
"What Ji Samurai? Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Takigawa Tokiyoshi was distracted and rode a horse without knowing what he was thinking, and when he heard Kira Yoshitoki's shout, he looked left and right: "Left near! Did you see Ji Samurai? Why didn't I find any Ji samurai? ”
Shima Shikatsu was pondering his marksmanship with his head bored, and when he heard Keiji's inquiry, he looked at him with some doubts: "What?" Were you talking to me just now? ”
"Warrior Hime! It must be the boy in front! Yamaoka suddenly let out an astonishing remark, startling Keijiro and exclaiming, "You said that the guy in white is a woman?" ”
"Stupid Keijiro! Female, of course! Didn't the owner say that? Yamaoka Nagaga showed an unteachable expression to the stupidity of this similarly named Takigawa Tokiyoshi.
"Forget it, you don't understand it!" Yamaoka stroked the shaggy beard on his lips and showed an unfathomable expression: "The hall master, Lord must have taken a fancy to the Ji samurai in front!" Believe me! This is Zenjiro's beastly intuition! ”
"Yes! How do I feel that it is not very reassuring! Takigawa Tokiyoshi felt that his head was not enough, and wanted to ask for the opinion of Shima Tokikatsu. But it seems that he has not come to his senses yet. I can only helplessly follow the past.
Kira Yoshitoki's mount was also a purebred Kiso horse. Even better than the Ji samurai's mount, it took only a few moments to overtake her at the end of the street in front of him and stop her.
"Choke!" A blinding white light flashed, and the bright katana was already unsheathed, and the sword at the waist of the Ji samurai was already on Kira's neck in the blink of an eye.
"Which spy are you? Why follow me? Say! The voice was crisp and bright like the tinkling of a mountain spring, and a beautiful little face the size of a palm was murderous, and the tone was vicious, but it was still quite intimidating to Kira Yoshitoki.
There were relatively few pedestrians at the end of the street, so they didn't alarm many people by making such a big noise.
"I'm not ......"
"You must be a spy! Looking at your long thief eyebrows, the one must be a spy sent by the Echigo Uesugi family! Say! Who sent you? Ueda's Nagao Masaki or Yangbeizhong? Why follow me! "Carefully it sounds like a dialect of the Eastern Dialect. The voice is slightly immature, and it doesn't look very old.
"Hmm! Don't put a knife on my neck, it's dangerous! I'm not a spy of the Ueda Nagao family...... Wait a minute! You mean the long-tail family of Echigo Province? ”
This Ji warrior put away his weapon, held his chin and thought for a long time, and said, "Hmph! You don't look like you're from the Uesugi family...... Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Takeda family? It must be so! ”
"Your Excellency! The owner! Are you okay! Yamaoka was originally following behind unhurriedly, but suddenly saw that the situation in front of him had taken a turn for the worse, and immediately rushed over with a shout.
"What? Owner! Could it be Harunobu Takeda! Don't come here! In Kira's wry laughter, the girl in white once again pulled out a knife and put it on his neck, and the evil aura on her face was heavier than just now.
"Let go of the Pavilion's Master! I, Keijiro Takigawa, challenge you! ”
"And me! The island is close to you and challenges you! The two rushed over with angry faces. Although he didn't have a large body gun with a bow and arrow, he did have a sword that could be used.
"Stupid! That's a samurai of Hime. What a challenge you have! "Yamaoka Zenjiro hurriedly blocked these two guys, for people who only have muscles, they always like to solve problems with their fists, which is not a good way, especially when Kira Yoshinori is held hostage, it is a bad choice.
"When my name is Yoshishi Kira, the governor of the Mikawa Kira clan, not the middle-aged Takeda Harunobu of the Takeda family, don't you see that my clothes are printed with family crests?" Kira waved at them and told them not to come.
"Kira? I seem to have heard of it, Ashikaga two lead two? Could it be a member of His Royal Highness? Oops! The warrior came to his senses, hurriedly put his sword into the sheath, lifted his horsewhip and whipped his mount, and rushed out like a sharp arrow, and disappeared in a short time.
Looking at the figure that was quickly leaving, Zenjiro hurriedly jumped off the horse and ran over, insisting on helping Kira Yoshitoki down to check it, and after confirming that he had no problems, he let out a sigh: "Thank God, the owner of the pavilion is safe and sound!" What a blessing from God and Buddha! ”
Kira Yoshitoki frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Koshiro! Check the identity of that Ji samurai! The samurai of the eastern country, who have something to do with Echigo, must check it out for me as soon as possible, understand? ”
"Yes! The owner! Koshiro Hattori, who had been nonexistent, appeared out of nowhere, and then disappeared at the end of the street a few more times.
Chiyo Mochizuki came out of the crowd and said breathlessly, "I'm going too!" ”
"You stay for me, I can't go anywhere!" Kira Yoshishi looked at the stupid Lori with a straight face, and after a while, he wondered, "How did you chase after you?" ”
"Running here!" Chiyo Mochizuki still had a few drops of sweat on her red little face, and she gasped slightly and tried to adjust her breathing.
"Hmm! Launched! I'll take you back! Kira Yoshitoki pulled Chiyo Mochizuki up and asked her to sit in front of her.
"Lord Pavilion, I'm familiar with this part of Kyoto, so let Keijiro chase her back!" Takigawa Tokiyoshi looked a little eager to try.
"No need! I know who she is, so let's go back! Go back and wait for Koshiro's news with peace of mind! Kira Yoshitoki waved his whip lightly and rode away.
When he saw Kira Yoshishi, he turned around and left, and Takigawa Tokiyoshi asked Xiang Yamaoka with some doubts: "Why didn't the hall owner let me chase that woman?" She just pointed a knife at the hall owner! ”
"Stupid! The owner of the hall has taken a fancy to that Ji samurai! I don't understand this! Yamaoka threw down a sentence and ignored him.
"How do you know that the hall master has a crush on that Ji samurai!" Takigawa Tokiyoshi is a minor child after all. I can't figure out what this is. In desperation, he turned to Island Shisheng for help. But Shima Shikatsu didn't have anything to help him, and the two of them were about the same age, so they could only shrug their shoulders and say they didn't know.
"Why don't I feel like a Charmer at all, Nobu-sama, I don't feel like I can inherit your Wondersman's business!" Keijiro hung his head and slowly left with the team listless.
In the next few days, Kira Yoshitoki has been shocked by the stunning beauty of the girl in white, and the Valkyrie who rides is Valkyrie? The heroic Sailor Moon? Anyway, it is completely different from the delicate beauty of Numata Sandalwood, the beauty of Numata Sandalwood makes him can't help but feel pity, and this girl makes him feel admiration from the bottom of his heart. He admits that he has come across a magnet and is deeply intrigued.
Speaking of which, for some reason, he wasn't nervous at all when he was held a knife by the girl in white on his neck, saying that he didn't think she would cut it down at all, what kind of logic is this? Is it the feeling of being in love? In short, Kira Yoshitoki returned to his residence in Kyoto with a worried mind. "Kira Yoshitoki unknowingly also springed.
After investigation, it was found that there was no such No. 1 samurai daughter in Kyoto, so the question arises, where would it be if it was not Kyoto? Listening to her accent, it was obvious that she was from the East Country, and it also mentioned that Takeda Harunobu, who had previously guarded the Echigo Uesugi clan, Kira Yoshitoki seriously doubted that this could be a certain princess of the Nagao family.
But it's incredible. Will there be a princess in the Nagao family? It seems that there really is such a princess Aya, but this princess is the sister of the long-tailed Jinghu. And as early as when he was very young, he married Nagao Masakatsu of the Ueda Nagao family, and later she was also the mother of Uesugi Keikatsu, who was known as the silent general, how could there be any other princess in the Nagao family? And it's not that old, it looks a little younger than him, which doesn't make sense.
When he was confused about this matter, the envoy of the Nagao family posted a post stating that his lord wished to meet with Kira Yoshitoki, who took the prayer post and pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Arrange for a meeting with Nagao Dan Main Hall." ”
In the early morning of October 20, when the weather was already cool by the end of autumn, and the townspeople of Kyoto were busy with the things of the new day, Kira Yoshitoki entered Daitokuji Temple with a dozen or so retinues, and Nagao Keitora has been living here for these days.
The long-tailed Jinghu was dressed in a monk's robe, and the nine-point ring scar on his head was very blinking, and Ji Liangyi said with some curiosity: "Danzheng Hall has been ordained?" ”
"A few days ago, I stayed at the Daitoku Temple in Kyoto, and the nine masters of the Xiu Sect personally explained the wonderful method of Zen Buddhism to me, and the Pu Xian Daman National Master personally shaved and ordained for me, and the Dharma name was Zongxin, and I will be the heart of the Changwei Sect in the future." Long-tailed Jinghu nodded and said.
"You may be seated!" The monk came up to buy refreshments, and the long-tailed Jinghu suddenly waved his hand to push away the tea, and said dissatisfiedly: "The tea is light and bitter, I still love wine, take my sake!" ”
“…… The monk hesitated, and then an old voice came from outside the door: "Go!" I get sake for Nagao Tangoshi! ”
"Yes!" Zhike monk quickly withdrew at a glance, the person who came was the former abbot of Dade Temple, the old Zen master has been seventy-three years old, deeply believed in the pious belief of today's emperor, and was pardoned by the imperial court to be the master of the Great Manchurian State, although the old Zen master is thin and thin and does not pass the wind, but there are two long white eyebrows hanging, and the eyes are cloudy with a flash of wisdom.
When he saw Kira Yoshi, he said in one fold, "It turned out that Kira Tanyue came to visit our temple!" The old monk is really not honored! ”
"I was a samurai when I was righteous, and I actually bothered the national teacher to come in person, I really didn't dare to be the national teacher!" Kira Yoshitoki hurriedly gave in.
"The old monk won't bother the two Tan Yue!" Chexiu Zongjiu smiled and turned around and left.
"I have already sought the decree of the private enemy from the imperial court, and now I have also given the Heavenly Cup and the Imperial Sword, allowing me to crusade against the unsubordinate!" The long-tailed Jinghu silently pinched the rosary and said to Ji Liangyi: "My sect heart, I also want to thank the Wuwei Hall for your guidance!" ”
The Tang name of the Left Guard Governor was Shogun Takee, and he had previously been the position of the Owari Ashikaga clan in the era, and now it also fell into the hands of his Ashikaga family, and this delicate official position also hinted at Ashikaga Yoshito's intentions. Every time he was called to the Wuwei Palace, he was still a little unaccustomed to it. The former Wuwei family has not perished. The current governor of the Spo clan, Spo Yoshito, is just one of the five lower rulers of Daisuke, and the left soldier of the previous few years was taken away by Kira Yoshitoki, and he is still living a puppet life in Cheongju.
"Playing the main hall is right! What I did when I was righteous was also to support the great cause of the shogunate, and Echigo Yasutai also contributed to the shogunate's governance strategy. ”
"The prestige of the Wuwei Palace is well known in the sea, and I admire it very much because the shogunate was born and died several times when he was trapped in ten thousand armies without being defeated!" The long-tailed Jinghu was polite to him for a while, and suddenly pointed to the small bridge and flowing water outside the window and the secluded cypress in the distance. Said: "This quiet and quiet is in line with my Linji Zen intentions, and my sect has the heart to live here for the rest of my life to participate in meditation and practice Buddha." ”
The long-tailed Jinghu said with the meaning of loneliness and regret, and frowned a little when he heard Ji Liangyi, and then said with a smile: "We are waiting for the martial arts family to live between heaven and earth, with the expectations of thousands of people, with bows, arrows, swords and guns to protect the country, and the main hall is in its heyday, is it a little early to talk about being born now?" ”
Nagao Jinghu stared at the Zhijing in Daitokuji Temple a little distracted, and heard the consolation in Kira Yoshishi's words. He smiled again and said, "Well, it's just a momentary sigh......"
"Brother! What do you see I'm buying? Then the door was pushed open. A girl in white broke in, holding a few emerald green hairpins in her hand, and was stunned when she raised her eyes to see a strange teenager.
"Is that you?" The two said in unison, the only difference was that the girl in white was a little panicked, while Kira Yoshitoki was surprised.
"What? Wu Weidian knows the sister? Long-tailed Jinghu looked very surprised, and then saw an innocent-looking monk with a wine jug coming in, hurriedly put down and fled like a fire burning his buttocks, and said helplessly: "This is my sister Long-tailed Tiger Ji, a fellow mother." ”
"Sister Longtail? For the concubine of Jing Gong? Ji Liang Yi was dizzy at the moment, and after thinking about gains and losses for two days, he didn't expect that Nagao Jinghu actually had a sister, and Ji Liangyi's letter instantly became messy: "When did Nagao Jinghu have a sister?" Isn't the long tail for the scenery a long time ago? ”
"Yes! My father has been living in seclusion in Kasuga Mountain Castle since the fifth year of astronomy, and died of typhoid fever and exhaustion not long after the birth of his sister. Nagao Jinghu sighed: "A few days after my father's death, Kuroda Hidetada plotted to kill my brother Nagao Jingyasu, in order to deal with the rebellion of the Echigo people, my sister married into the Ueda Nagao family, and my mother also took Xiaohu Ji to cut her hair as a nun, it was really a difficult time to say!" ”
It turned out that this long-tailed Weijing did not die in the fifth year of astronomy, but lived until the end of December of the eleventh year of astronomy before dying of a sudden illness at the age of fifty-five, that is to say, this white-clothed girl named Long-tailed Tiger Ji was more than half a year younger than Ji Liangyi, only ten years old at the beginning of this year, and only eleven years old.
"When will little Lori's development be so good?" Kira Yoshishi looked at this little Lori in white with questioning eyes, tall, big eyes, white as snow satin without powder, small nose wrinkled slightly, and two cute little tiger teeth in the cherry mouth were exposed.
"You're welcome to look at me again!" Little Lori bared her little tiger teeth and glared at him in a very scary manner.
"Oooh! I see, I won't look at it again! Ji Liang Yoshishi subconsciously replied, almost letting the long-tailed Jinghu squirt out the wine, and the long-tailed tiger Ji raised his slender hand in anger, and the halberd pointed at Ji Liangyi and scolded angrily: "You are really a bastard!" It was a mistake not to beat you up last time! ”
Long-tailed Jinghu scolded in a low voice: "Tiger Ji, what are you talking about! Apologize to the Warrior Guard! ”
"Don't ...... No, you don't! It's my fault first, it's my fault first! Hey! Ji Liang Yoshitoki also found that it was a little rude to stare at Lori all the time, and then he noticed that Little Lori was very fierce, like a little female tiger protecting food and baring her teeth towards Ji Liang Yoshitoki.
"Humph!" Little Lori shook her long black straight hair, and turned her face away from looking at Kira Yoshishi.
"Uh......" Kira Yoshishi opened the folding fan to hide his embarrassed expression, and said, "Just play the main hall and tell that story, right?" ”
"Alright! Tiger Ji come and sit! Nagao Jinghu pulled the still angry little Lori to sit down, brewed his feelings slightly, and said slowly: "At the beginning of the year, my brother Qingjing passed away, and there are only three sisters and brothers left in the long tail line in my house, and the eldest sister is the main room of Ueda Nagao Masake, and only me and Tiger Ji rely on each other for their lives......"
Nagao Toranohime is the youngest daughter of Nagao Weijing and the second Shomuro Suyoshi Nagao family, born in October of the 11th year of Astronomy, and is loved as the youngest daughter of Nagao Weijing. The old woman also brings a touch of beautiful color to the bleak old age of the long tail. It's a pity that perennial depression and a sudden illness took the life of this famous Echigo general. It brought so many disasters to the Nagao family.
Because the tiger cut his hair for a nun, so the long-tailed tiger Ji grew up in his uncle's house in his childhood, and when he was four years old, he was taken to Tochio City by the long-tailed Jinghu to live, and then followed him to learn the art of war, military strategy, and the art of killing the enemy on the battlefield.
The second brother Jingkang and the third brother Jingfang were killed by Heitian Xiuzhong when the spring mountain castle fell. As the children of the Nagao family, they should work hard for the family business, and subconsciously he doesn't want his sister to marry a Chinese person he doesn't like like his elder sister.
What's worse is that the Ueda Nagao and Shimoda Nagao of the same clan covet the power of a leader, so he has to strengthen his power to consolidate himself, so Nagao Jinghu consciously mentions his sister and strives to develop in the direction of a heroine, this twelve-year-old sister who is also known as Tiger Chiyo really has a very high talent, and even has a military strategic talent far beyond his imagination, and has excellent learning ability, doing things that men can't do at a young age, so that he often sighs that it would be good if she was a man.
Kira Yoshitoki was instantly messy. Secretly said: "Where is this, the long-tailed Jinghu has a younger sister." So shouldn't the Matsudaira family's Takechiyo also have a younger brother? But according to the information of the Hattori security chief, the Matsudaira family is indeed only one Takechiyo, as for his half-brother, half-brother or something is not counted at all, the background of the Shiliangda family has not yet appeared, and naturally there is no Shiliangda Takechiyo.
Does this mean that his appearance has shifted the world line? And then he, the little butterfly, fanned out a daughter with a long tail for the scene? Isn't this the true destiny of my Kira Yoshi? But I already have a main room, how do I solve it? Konoe Jehome! ”
Huya sister saw that the brother naturally would not give him a good look, looking at him for a while nymphomaniac, a messy expression for a while, snorted coldly and arrogantly walked out of the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dade Temple, not to mention that this scenery is really good, so that Huya Sister's mood is much more comfortable, I heard that this brother has a very beautiful big city, standing in the castle tower you can see the scenery on Lake Biwa, his Kasuga mountain castle has nothing but a cherry blossom forest, and Naoetsu is still ugly from the mountain.
This is just a small episode, the meeting between Nagao Jinghu and Kira Yoshitoki is the highlight, Nagao Jinghu said: "Today, according to the policy of the Wuwei Palace, the initial law, the armament and armament, Okushino stayed behind to guard the Echigo generals to reassure the people, this policy has benefited my sect a lot!" ”
"It's too humble to play the main hall! With the wisdom of the main hall, this kind of strategy will come to mind sooner or later, and it is just a coincidence. Kira Yoshitoki modestly said that Nagao Keitori was talking about the aftermath of the Kawanakajima War, which was also an idea that Kira Yoshitoki mentioned when he came to exchange views with him in letters, so as to win over the people of Echigo and unite them under the banner of Nagao Keitor.
Next, Nagao Keitora told him the details of Kawanakajima, which was slightly different from the information sent back, Nagao Keitora broke through and advanced in the vast mountains of Shinano, completely relying on superb tactical awareness and extraordinary determination, and finally being able to escape in the pocket formation where Takeda Harunobu closed the door and beat the dogs was indeed not an ordinary general.
"It's a pity that Takeda Harunobu is really cunning, and my long-tail army can't help him if he breaks through a few times." Long-tailed Jinghu said regretfully.
"Takeda Dashan is not very human, and you don't have to worry about playing the main hall." Of course, Nagao Jinghu can't help him, this is the first time in Kawanakajima, and the days to come will be long.
Then the two exchanged their respective analyses of the situation in Kanto and Kinai, and Nagao Jinghu agreed with him that he would go to Sakamoto, Kata, and other places to see, and a meeting was soon interrupted when the bell rang in Daitokuji Temple, and Nagao Jinghu got up and said: "It's time for the evening class, and Zongxin is only missing!" ”
"Oh, it's getting so late!" Only then did Kira Yoshishi notice that the sky outside the window had darkened, and at about five o'clock in the evening, he also got up and said, "It's time to go back next!" Another day, I'll talk to the main hall of Dan! (To be continued......)
PS: Generally speaking, if there is a big chapter, there are only two more to say.
