Chapter 558: Rare Idleness
"Hehe, although I admire your courage very much, but even if all of you people are combined, they will not be our opponents, besides, please don't forget, your princess is in our hands, do you want to force us to hurt your princess?" Kizo said with a sneer.
"You...... You mean! Sen Kecheng said angrily.
"Hehe, despicable or not, as long as you can be the ultimate victor, that's enough. If you are a loyal man, and as one of our captives, I will allow you to stay by the princess's side and be responsible for her safety. Kizo Shigetada said again.
"Is that true?" After hearing the second half of Kizo Shigetada's words, Sen Kecheng immediately asked.
"Seriously!" Kizo Shigetada replied earnestly. At this time, Muzao Chongzhong's heart was happy. In fact, in the list of talents that Zhengliang gave him before, there is also the name of Sen Kecheng in front of him. It's just that when Kizo Shigetuda found Mori Kecheng, the other party was already a retainer of the Saito family, so he had to give up. But now, if you rob the princess of the Saito family, you also kidnap a talent that the lord wants, which is also very good.
"Well, I hope you can keep your promise and be willing to be your captive and follow the princess." After receiving confirmation from Kizo Shitadada, Mori Kecheng thought about it for a while and finally decided to take the risk of believing Kizo Shigetada.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please tell the lord of the kingdom that Her Royal Highness the princess was held hostage by thieves due to the poor guards, and that she is willing to follow Her Royal Highness the princess. Please rest assured, as long as I am here, I will never let anyone hurt a single hair of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Mori then turned around and said lightly to the remaining few Saito family ashishi behind him.
"Alright. Don't grind. A few of you have a lot of points. I'm going to tie you up first. Kizo Shigetada urged again.
Soon, with the cooperation of everyone in the Luo family, the soldiers of the Saito family in the courtyard were soon forcibly tied up, and even a handful of weeds were stuffed on their mouths to prevent these people from shouting for help after Kizo Shigetada and the others left. At this time, due to the fact that several monks in the vicinity were knocked unconscious, no one has noticed what happened to them here so far.
"Alright, let's hurry back to Yuanjiang." After the most stubbornness, the wooden building was the most stubborn, and pretended to say it inadvertently. In fact, they will board the ship at a secret location on the Kiso River. Then return to Kyushu directly from the sea.
In this way, two years later, Saito Guidie, one of the three ladies of the Warring States who was supposed to marry Oda Nobunaga, was secretly robbed by the Luo family, and those who were taken away by the Luo family with Saito Guidie were also the important ministers of the Oda family in the future.
Michizo Saito, who received an urgent report on the way to hunting, immediately rushed to Sofukuji Temple with his people, but there was nothing but a few bound soldiers of his family and a letter specially left for him.
After reading the letter left by the raiders, Saito Michizo couldn't help but frown tightly......
In the council hall of Hizen Kishigaku Castle, Masara still didn't know what happened in Mino Province, and he had just finished discussing with several important ministers in his family about the plan for cultivating a new generation of war horses in the Luo family's ranch and the plan for arranging the horse transmission system in the Luo family's territory.
After the discussion, he summoned Kasuga Tiger Tsuna, who had just arrived at Luo's house, alone.
"I heard that there is a famous Takasaka family in your hometown of Shinshu. Isn't it? Masari asked.
"Yes, Lord of the Kingdom." At this time, the Kasuga Tiger Tsunade had not yet grown. Still a little shy. It's just that this shy expression, coupled with the appearance of the most beautiful man in the Warring States period, looks a little charming.
"In that case, in order to show my ambition to swallow the Kai Kingdom in the future, you will be called Takasaka Masanobu in the future. When the Japanese army enters Kai Shinshu, the Takasaka family will be inherited by you. Zhengliang immediately decided.
In this way, Kasuga Tiger Tsunade was confused by Masarashi to change his name for a seemingly ambitious but somewhat distant reason, and since then he has been renamed Takasaka Masanobu, and has temporarily become Masahiro's close attendant.
After dealing with political affairs, Masahiro rarely had time today, so he decided to go to the backyard to have a look. Since coming to this world, most of the time has been spent almost in the east and west, and it is indeed a bit of a snub to my family.
In the back garden of Kishiyue Castle, which is modeled after a Suzhou garden, the wives and concubines of Zhengliang led by Ju Ji are sitting on a lawn, enjoying the sunshine while working as female workers. They are knitting several outfits for Masayo. Although the textile mills in the territory were also capable of sewing clothes for Masayo, out of love for Masayo, the wives and concubines decided to do it themselves.
Among the wives and concubines, Matsumiko, who was just included in the backyard by Masayo last year, is already pregnant, and her belly is already slightly bulging. The butterfly next to it has a slightly bulging belly at this time. In addition to these two people, Kikuhime gave birth to her sister-in-law Tang Wang Maru, and Tsuru gave birth to her second son Song Wang Maru, but the stomach of Yui Hatano among the crowd is still not moving. It is said that she was sticky to the rain and dew earlier than Matsumiko, but her stomach just didn't move, so the eyes she looked at Matsumiko and Butterfly's slightly bulging belly were always involuntarily with envy and anxiety.
Among the people, there is also a person with a special identity. This person is Tai Jiu Ling.
As the largest commercial house owner in the Luo family's territory in partnership with the wives and concubines of Zhengliang, Tai Jiuling is almost the housekeeper equivalent to the wives and concubines of Zhengliang. Many of the things in the mansion were handled by her with the help of Ju Ji.
And the women have long regarded her as a good person. Even her younger sister, Sakura, who was almost given to Masara as a maid for a long time, has been recognized by Masara as a righteous sister. Therefore, at this time, Taijiu Ling's identity in the Luo family is very special, it can be said to be a retainer, or it can be said to be a lover who has not yet been in a relationship with Zhengliang.
And Tang Wangmaru, who is already more than four years old, is riding on a bamboo horse, running around on the lawn. As for his younger brother Song Wangmaru, who is one year younger than him, he is playing with a few small animals woven from thatch, and his younger sister is suddenly connected. The maid Lily was watching over him with concern.
When Song Wangmaru was born. As the grandfather of Song Wang Maru. That is, Tsuruhime's father, Kosuke, once took the initiative to make a proposal to Masahiro, hoping that Song Wangmaru would be sent to the Luo family's temple to become a monk when he grew up a little more.
Fortunately, the idea is very much in line with the practice of the Warring States, after all, there are multiple sons in the family, and it is likely that the problem of the heir will cause a split, so many wealthy families will choose to leave the non-heir or simply wait until the Yuan service to give some money and send the person to wander. Now Kosuke is worried that his daughter and grandson will suffer from the problem of the heir, so he took the initiative. His proposal was approved by most of his retainers, but was rejected by Masayo. Are you kidding. If he can't even teach his son and can't control it, then he, the father, will do it in vain. Anyway, the sister-in-law has confirmed that as for the other children, they can develop freely, as long as there is no internal strife.
"Drive, drive......"
From time to time, the sound of Tang Wangmaru running could be heard in the courtyard.
Although these voices affected the progress of the female workers of Ju Ji and the others, out of love for the child, even so, Ju Ji did not blame Tang Wang Maru, but let Tang Wang Maru continue to play.
"Gee, that's so hard. I won't do it. In the midst of this peaceful atmosphere, a pleasant voice suddenly came out.
The person who complained was none other than Matsumiko's daughter, Miko Tada. However, all the people in Kishigaku Castle are used to calling her Mihime. In private, she is called the little witch of Kishigaku City. Because she is the most favored daughter in the family, she has developed a somewhat arrogant and mischievous character. There were even times when she dared to go to Masahiro's chamber and make a face at Masahiro, who was judging her retainers.
Mei Ji was about to be ten years old at this time, and she was getting more and more delicate and beautiful. It's just that at this time, there was a reluctant expression on her beautiful little face.
"What's wrong?" Matsumiko, the only one in the family who can restrain Mihime, spoke at this time.
"Oh, mother, this female worker is too difficult to get." Maggie complained.
"Nonsense, why can your sister Jihime and Sister Sakurahime do so well? You see, they have all finished working as female workers and went out to help with the account books of the commercial house, you see, you haven't got a female job yet, how can you get married in the future. Matsumiko scolded.
"Oh, if people don't marry in the future, they will accompany a few mothers in the future." Mei Ji immediately said coquettishly. At the same time, his eyes pitifully fell on Ju Ji on the main seat, obviously asking Ju Ji for help.
"Sister, Mei Ji is still young after all, so let's not be too strict." The kind-hearted Ju Ji immediately explained.
"Auntie is the best!" Mei Ji immediately cheered.
"You ......" Matsumiko saw that Mihime was so big and small, and immediately prepared to reprimand again.
At this moment, I saw a maid walk in, salute and say, "Madam, the lord of the kingdom is here." ”
Ju Ji immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and said, "I know the way." ”
The arrival of Masahiro surprised Ju Ji and everyone a little. Masarashi was so busy that usually when they returned to Kishigaku Castle, they would be told that they had already taken their retainers and gone to other parts of the territory before they even saw each other. During this time, I often stayed at home, but I often held retainers' assessment meetings or went to the nearby workshops to inspect, and when I came back at night, I fell asleep before I had time to make out with them.
This made Ju Ji feel a little resentful in the hearts of everyone, but when Ju Ji thought that her husband was so diligent, wasn't it exactly what she wanted to see, how could she blame her husband for not being considerate enough? So many times, she comforts the rest of the people from the perspective of a housewife.
The husband worked all day for the Luo family, not only did he not support it, but he also gave birth to such an idea, which is really undeserved, but if the husband can take a little time out of his busy schedule to love them who are lonely, it would be great, and now this idea has finally been realized, thinking of this, Ju Ji's cheeks are also slightly rosy.
And Tang Wangmaru, who was still playing, immediately threw away the bamboo horse in his hand after hearing that his father had returned, rolled to a desk on the lawn as fast as he could, and casually copied a book that his teachers Kakuma Ishimune, Yamamoto Kansuke, Togo Heiji, and Kuaikawa Shoki asked him to study (not long after Tang Wangmaru became sensible, Masara asked Karawangmaru to worship Kakuma Ishizong and Yamamoto Kansuke as the art of war teacher, and worship Togo Heiji and Kusakawa Shaoxi as calligraphy teachers, and later worship Kinoshita Masanao, Yoshida Shigemasa, and Isono Yuanmasa as martial arts teachers), He sat there straight, but his eyes did not stay on it for a moment, but kept sweeping towards the gate of the courtyard.
At the same time, he didn't forget to greet his younger brother Song Wangmaru on the side: "Brother, stop playing, my father is here, come to my brother." ”
Song Wangmaru smiled at Tang Wangmaru, and then raised the small toy in his hand and handed it to Tang Wangmaru. He also thought that Tang Wangmaru was asking him for toys.
"Oh, brother, didn't my father teach us all the time? You can't lose your mind with playthings! Seeing his younger brother like this, Tang Wangmaru couldn't help but pretend to say. The funny appearance suddenly made several maids on the side snicker.
After a while, only listening to the footsteps, Tang Wangmaru hurriedly withdrew his gaze and put on a look of concentrating on studying, don't look at his age, but this heart is a lot, he knows ignorantly, no matter how naughty he is, his mother is reluctant to beat himself.
And my father, although he has never beaten himself, but with his father's current prestige, even people dare to kill, and it is not a piece of cake to beat himself, it seems that it is better not to upset his father.
Seeing Tang Wangmaru doing this, Ju Ji not only didn't have any intention of blaming, but smiled knowingly, Tang Wangmaru was just a four-year-old child, with such a mind, he really deserved to be a husband's child, if he waited for a few years, he would definitely be a little eagle.
In Ju Ji's heart, she doesn't want Tang Wangmaru to grow into a peerless general in the future, but hopes that he will become a wise general like her husband (it is estimated that after the political conscience and Ju Ji commented on him, he will look up to the sky and shout, wronged, I am a real general with wisdom and bravery), only in this way will it be easier for him to survive, so imperceptibly, even if he is urged to study every day, let him learn with the art of war teachers, it is far more than following the martial arts teachers to learn martial arts.
"Kikuhime, I'm back." As the words fell, Masahiro also walked in from outside the courtyard gate. When he saw Tang Wangmaru sitting in front of the bookcase, studying carefully, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
"Your Excellency, you're back." The crowd led by Ju Ji quickly greeted him.
"Ha Luha, come on, let your husband kiss each other first." Zhengliang Dalu walked over with a smile, and immediately picked up Ju Ji and kissed it directly.
"Huh?" Suddenly attacked by Masayo, Ju Ji was immediately taken aback. When she realized what had happened, she immediately blushed and turned red. Really, in front of the public, how could the husband make such a move, how embarrassed this is! (To be continued......)
