A few days later, Aju was recruited back by Kira Manmatsumaru, looking at her tired face, Kira Manmatsumu asked him to go to rest first, and it took two days to learn from Katsuhime that this month was not very pleasant to live in Atago's house, and the excitement of going home was completely shattered by the indifferent family, if it wasn't for Kira Manmatsumu to send someone to recruit, she also planned to pack her luggage and move back.

The life of the Atago family is very bad, it can be said that it is not much better than not being able to open the pot, the family of more than 20 people have no place to eat and drink, except for the governor who often goes out to find some samurai to fight the autumn breeze, the other men can only find ways to make some extra money in Kyoto, such as teaching people to bow, painting, or teaching some rich merchants with vassal elegance The Tale of Genji, and they can barely eat.

Ah Ju returned home and had one more mouth, this day must be more sad, and she has been away from home for ten years and her relatives are also very estranged, her parents gave birth to several younger brothers and sisters after she left, and the life of the family is tight, so his arrival is not very welcome, Ah Ju's brother is married, and his younger brother Gangyuanfu has not yet found a suitable marriage partner, because their family is too poor.

In order not to embarrass his family, Ah Ju took out the fifty yuan he had accumulated over the past few years as a subsidy for the family, and he was reluctant to let him live in the face of the money, and after the excitement of returning home passed, Ju Ji felt uncomfortable with the smirking expression and unfamiliar interpersonal relationship at home, especially when his father took away twenty yuan and said that he had not changed new clothes for more than ten years, and he had to buy a decent new hunting suit no matter what.

His eldest brother asked for ten yuan and said that he wanted to repay the debt, and the children in the family stole the money to buy cakes to eat, although he was beaten hard afterwards and couldn't go out for half a month, but the fifty yuan was used up in only one month, but fortunately, at this time, Kira Manmatsumaru sent someone to pick her up, so she finally left the Atago house with some dignity and kindness.

"This kind of loser speed is really amazing, fifty times is enough for more than 100 members of the Hattori family to live for half a year, and in the more than 20 people in the Atago family, they can't even hold on for a month, they really won't die if they don't die!" Kira Manmatsumu shook his head, he was no longer interested in studying the corruption and degeneration of the minister, and when he returned to the residence, he saw Ah Ju sitting in a daze in the small garden in the backyard.

The sound of the stream rushing and the crisp sound of the bamboo tube hitting the stone bowl after the stream is filled with water makes the courtyard appear particularly quiet and peaceful, as if in a paradise, completely isolated from the noise, Kira Manmatomaru sighed: "This is Zen!" ”

Kira Manmatsumari hesitated for a moment, but still walked over to her and sat down, "Aju, are you okay?" ”

"Your Highness!" Ah Ju smiled gently, shook her head lightly and said, "Ah Ju is very good, Your Highness don't worry." ”

"You still say that you're fine, and you're not happy at all, can you call it okay?" Kira Manmatsu Maru sighed secretly, and persuaded again: "The path is chosen by yourself, and you have to be responsible for yourself, so please don't force yourself too much." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for enlightening Aju! His Royal Highness understands what he means! Ah Ju bowed gently, then smiled softly and took out a thousand paper cranes from his sleeves and held them in the palm of his hand, and said happily: "Ah Ju will open his wings and embrace nature like this thousand paper cranes, and His Royal Highness must have come to Sakamoto for this reason, right?" ”

"Huh? What is this unfolding rhythm? Kira Manmatsumaru shrugged with a wry smile.

"So, Aju will work hard! Your Highness, please work hard! Ah Ju carefully put away the thousand paper cranes, bowed lightly and ran away with small steps.

"Embrace nature! When was the thousand paper cranes given this meaning by her again? Well, hug me too? Kira Manmatsumu stretched out his hands and went backwards and lay on the porch on all fours, "Sure enough, it's more comfortable to hug!" ”

……

On October 19th, at the construction site of Sakamoto New Town, when a group of people were busy with the construction of the busy day, Saijo Bei and Akabei wore armor, each holding three sticks to train, although Akabi was dressed in bright red armor is very beautiful, and they are all samurai backgrounds are also very powerful, but unfortunately the initial construction is less than two months ago There is no tacit understanding at all, and every time he and Saijo Bei hold on to attack for a while, there will be a formation break and gradually evolve into a rout.

"Eighth Match, Saijo Prepares for Victory!" Nakajo Hidetaka, who served as the referee, drew another horizontal bar on a charcoal wooden board, and counted carefully that there were eight horizontal bars, that is, eight consecutive wins, not to mention a big duck egg on the opposite side.

"Damn, why always lose! Miyake Kanemon! It's your mistake this time! Why can't you resist every time it's you? One of the samurai angrily took off his helmet and blamed the other.

"Bastard! Is it my fault? It was the Dongsanhe side that started to lose first, why don't you go to them and talk to them! ”

"Shhhh Bastard! Do you want to find death? Now we are not allowed to mention the distinction between east and west, everyone is a comrade-in-arms, and if we mention regional issues again, we will be driven back to Sanhe. Hearing the warning of their companions, several samurai immediately wilted, muttered something in their mouths, and walked to the shade of the tree to seize the time to rest.

Kira Manmatsumaru asked, "How many times a day do you have to do a sparring like this?" ”

"There are twenty times a day, and it is a requirement of the hall owner to improve the actual combat level with sparring, so in order to accelerate the overall combat power of the red preparation, the number of sparring exercises is deliberately increased, and sometimes there is more training after dinner." Hidetaka Nakajo replied.

"Pay attention to the three meals a day to keep up, high-intensity training will collapse if there is not enough food supplement, rice is too expensive and not easy to digest, the staple food is mainly pasta and brown rice, and the supplementary food is not less miso fresh fish."

"Yes!"

After a break of about twenty minutes, the two sides stood up again and continued to practice, from the sparring can be seen the level of the two reserves, it is obvious that Saijo Bei's cooperation is more skilled, and it is easy to form a semi-encirclement situation with the advantage of numbers in the gun array, although Akabei is a samurai and his personal combat strength is stronger, but the lack of cooperation is always broken again and again.

Sure enough, it didn't last long and Chibei was defeated again, this time there were still people scolding angrily, of course, more people were disappointed, Saijo Bei didn't react at all, and seemed to be used to this kind of immortal treatment, seeing this, Kira Manmatsumu shook his head: "It's not enough to just practice like this, call Ashigaru Shogun of Akabei." ”

After a while, the four Ashigaru generals stood in a row with serious expressions, looking at the expressions on their faces, Kira Manmatsumaru knocked on the table and asked, "Do you know why I called you over?" ”

The four of them replied in unison: "Because of failure." ”

"That's right! It's because of failure! Kira Manmatsumu pointed at the four people angrily and scolded: "You can still realize that it is because of failure, at least it is not hopeless, look at what you have done?" I've only been gone for a month and I've become like this, don't you feel ashamed to be beaten by Saijo every day without the power to fight back? ”

"Shame!"

"Then why do you have to accept the shame again and again? Why failed? How to avoid failure? If you want to find the reason in yourself, don't stare at the difference between 800 and 500, those 300 people can't save you, and the enemy on the battlefield won't talk to you about fairness and justice, why did I let Saijo prepare with 800 elites against 500 samurai? I'm giving you a month to think it through! ”

"Yes!" The four Ashigaru generals were full of shame when they were reprimanded, and if it weren't for the Kira family's strict prohibition of seppuku, maybe someone would perform a restricted-level bridge on the spot.

"Also, don't waste every break, I see you all sitting there idle and doing nothing, is that idle? Why don't you communicate with the samurai who is matched, why will you lose? Summarize the reasons for each failure, formulate a corrective plan, and try again and again until you can win the battle without failing, do you understand? ”

"Yes!"

"That's it! Go back and do what you have to do! Kira Manmatsumaru waved his hand and sent the four ashigaru generals away, and turned to Isshiki Shiro beside him: "Shiro, I intend to let you go to Chibei to exercise, what do you think?" ”

"Great! Oh no! Thank you for the grace of the owner! I've long wanted to go to Chibeiri to practice, but what about the art of arching horses? Isshishiro hesitated halfway through his words.

"Hone your muscles first, haven't you always been dissatisfied with the marksmanship you're good at? Let's go to Chibiri to temper! Watanabe Takatsuna's spearmanship is very powerful, and archery and Naito Masanari can teach you, so take the time to practice riding! Compared to Zenjiro's stupidity, you are more suitable to be the general of the family. ”

"Yes! I've thanked the owner! Isshiki Shiro stood up happily, and under the approving gaze of Kira Manmatsumaru, he happily caught up with the four ashigaru generals.

Nakajo Hidetaka said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness Kira is becoming more and more powerful, and the four Ashigaru generals have not dared to look up at you from beginning to end. ”

"Oh? Is it? Am I really that fierce? Kira Manmatsumu rubbed his cheeks and said distressedly, "If it's too fierce, will there be no noble woman willing to marry me?" ”

"......" Nakajo Hidetaka turned his head with black lines on his head, pretending not to hear the words that followed.
