Chapter 986: The Legend of Ghost Hime
"Hiss......"
It was already February of the third year of Eiroku (1560 AD), and at this time, from the room of a sake brewery in the commercial district of Joshimocho, the Hizen Kokugakufu in Kyushu, there was an extremely obvious sound of cold air.
And the owner who made this voice was a young man with thick eyebrows raised slightly in rebellion, a pair of eyes as clear as morning dew under the long, slightly curly eyelashes, pink lips like rose petals on the bridge of his nose, and fair skin like a cream child.
This young man is the 16-year-old head of the family. After a few months ago, the important minister of the Ichijo family, Tuju Zongshan, visited the Luo family, and after the two sides have been communicating for several months, today, the current governor of the Ichijo family, Ichijo Kaneda, finally arrived at the Luo family's home city, Xuefu City, and started the final alliance negotiations with the Luo family.
After being received by the Luo family's governor, Luo Shi Masashi, Ichijo Kaneda simply handed over all the alliance matters to the Doi Sozan who accompanied him, and he himself began to visit the castle town of the school house, accompanied by the Luo family's business director, Kamiya Suse.
At this time, he was enjoying a meal in a room in a tavern in Joshitachi, accompanied by Kamiya Sakuze. This sake house is actually a branch of one of Roche's subordinate takayas, and it is also one of the special taverns used by the Roche family to entertain foreign envoys, and the food inside is naturally very rich and delicious.
The first dish to be served is the main course: pickles, vegetable soup, crucian carp sushi, abalone, and dried radish with peanuts. Sweet potato mixed with rice. See such delicious food. I haven't started eating yet. One of them made a sound like exhaling cold air.
There are many rivers such as the Chikugo River around Xuefu Castle, and it faces the beautiful and vast Ariake Sea, so it is natural to be able to obtain a variety of seafood, and because of the participation of many chefs from the immigrants of the Ming Kingdom, these dishes are not only varied but also full of patterns, such as the dishes at this time, which are not only very exquisite, but also carved patterns on the food. It is served in lifelike animal-shaped utensils and is decorated with carved radishes on the side.
"Your Excellency, this, this is too polite." As he spoke, he picked up a bit of fish with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth to savor it, "It's delicious, I almost swallowed it with my tongue, and it feels like a girl's skin." The corners of his eyes almost filled with tears, even in a home, as the governor of the house. I couldn't eat it so delicious.
For a certain compliment, the god house Shaoce who accompanied him also agreed. As a business director of his family, he would often travel to various places to engage in commercial activities, and it can be said that he had tasted the food of various parts of the Warring States period, from Ezo to Kanto to Tsushima Island in the westernmost area, but the taste and cuisine were too different from the food in the Luo family's territory.
In this way, the two of them were in the room, talking and tasting food, and soon after, the food was finished. After a full meal, a pair of people gently wiped their lips with a handkerchief, enjoying the charm after eating.
When the dining table was removed, he chuckled and covered his mouth with a small folding fan: "It seems that this time I came to the territory of the Luo family, it is indeed worth the trip!" Hehehe! ”
"Who are you?"
"Wait!"
"Ahh
……
Just when a Kamiya Shaoce, who was also accompanying him, said that the trip was worthwhile, there was a noise in the corridor outside the room.
"What's going on? What are those Luo family guards doing outside? Don't you know that guests are being entertained inside? As the person who accompanied him, Kamiya Shaoce was the first to react, and quickly stood up, ready to apologize to Ichijo Kaneda and then go out to check, but at this time, the wooden partition of the room was opened with a sound of "brushing", and Kamiya Shaoce hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see:
The cicada sideburns and golden hairpins are double-pressed, and the phoenix shoes and stirrups are obliquely stepped on. The chain armor is lined with red yarn, and the embroidered willow waist is crossed. The natural beauty of the begonia flower is the barbarian princess Mei Ji of the Luo family.
"Huh? Why is this uncle here? When he saw the comer clearly, Kamiya Shaoce immediately broke out a cold sweat on his forehead. This princess is a ghost princess who can't be avoided by the Luo family, and all the retainers she is worried about will suffer a lot, but I don't know why she suddenly appeared here today, and it seems that she is still menacing. But after all, there were guests from Shikoku in the room, even if he didn't want to provoke the princess in front of him, Kamiya Suse had no choice but to step forward and prepare to persuade the other party to leave, but before he could speak, Mei Ji took the lead in speaking:
"You're the one who wants to marry me?"
"Huh?" Kamiya Shaoze was first startled by Mei Ji's sudden move, and then after hearing Mei Ji's words, it really felt as if the sky was falling apart, and he finally understood the reason why this princess was here today.
"Huh." Compared with Shenwu Shaoce, who was like a thunderbolt from the sky, a Kanji behind him suddenly saw such a heroic and beautiful woman, and his appearance had long since recovered to the appearance of a pig brother when he saw a beautiful woman at home, and he didn't know the danger he was about to face, so for Mei Ji's question, he naturally just laughed stupidly, and even thought in his heart:
"It would be best if such a woman became his maid."
There was a sound of "bang", and before Ichijo could come back to his senses in a sweet dream, the sound of a wooden block in close contact with the floor sounded at his feet.
I was shocked to come back to my senses and looked at my feet in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that there was a wooden knife dedicated to dojo training lying there (because bamboo knives are also easy to hurt people, so in the territory of the Luo family, the usual martial arts training is mainly based on wooden knives, and this change has also spread to the various regions of the Warring States with the expansion of the Luo family's power, so that most of the dojos around the Warring States have used wooden knives as the main training knives).
"Come on." At this time, Mei Ji had already raised a wooden knife in her hand, "As long as you can defeat me?" I am willing to be married by you. ”
"Huh?" This time, in the middle of the room, two male voices sounded at the same time.
The first male voice was naturally from Shenwu Shaoce, and at this time his heart was already shouting: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, do you still have the demeanor of the princess of the Luo family now?" Please pay attention to your demeanor. Please don't be rude to our guests! ”
Of course, this sentence, Shenwu Shaoce only dared to wail in his heart, if he really dared to say it directly, he believed that the princess in front of him would vent her anger on him. Although he won't be able to beat this princess, but after all, the other party is the princess of the Luo family, and he is very favored by the lord Gongzhengliang, which is naturally not easy to fight back, so his end will be miserable, so in order to protect himself, he can only exclaim.
And the one who exclaimed almost at the same time as Kamiya Shaoce, of course, was the other protagonist in the room, he had never seen a woman in his life who would take the initiative to ask for a duel, and it was such a beautiful woman, he was surprised, but also a little scared, because when he used to learn martial arts with the teacher at home, he was almost lazy, and compared to hard martial arts, he preferred beautiful women and handsome little surnames.
"What? If you don't pick up that wooden knife again, I'll do it. Seeing Ichijo Kaneda still standing stupidly in place with his mouth open, Mei Ji looked at Ichijo Kaneda with a little disdain and said, after speaking, she also waved the wooden knife in her hand and took a step forward.
"Gong ...... Her Royal Highness the princess ......, "Seeing such a scene, Kamiya Shaoze, who was accompanying the envoy, had to come forward to stop it, otherwise I really don't know what will happen to this princess of the ghost princess."
It's just that before he finished speaking, the wooden knife in Mei Ji's hand pointed directly at him, and at the same time, the pair of Danfeng eyes were also glaring, and his eyes were blazing and said to him: "Don't stop me, I want to duel with this guy here, if this guy is not my opponent, this guy doesn't want to marry me." ”
Today, Mei Ji originally had some martial arts questions to ask her father Masayo, but she accidentally met Masara who was meeting the guests of the Ichijo family, and then overheard that her father Masara was discussing her marriage with the people of the Ichijo family, so she almost rushed in to refuse to her father, but then she immediately realized that this method not only could not stop her father's decision, but would arouse her father's anger (after all, eavesdropping on her father's deliberations for no reason, and going straight to the assessment room, this is a big crime). So Mei Ji thought about it, and then she thought of a new way.
She first found her father who was on duty near the assessment room, surnamed Shioju Maru (Wakabayashi Zhenxing) and Manman Pill (Sagara Yoshiyo), and under her coercion and temptation, the two finally told Mihime about the marriage alliance of the Ichijo family this time.
After learning the information of the man who came to propose, Mei Ji quickly mobilized her female ghost Ji team, and soon found Ichijo Kaneda and others who were resting in the sake house, so they gathered all the horses and killed them violently.
Today, no matter what, Mei Ji is going to make Ichijo give up the idea of marrying him, even if her father Masashi arrives in person at this time, she will make a big fuss. As for Shenya Shaoce, who was in the room at this time, she would not be afraid. And in the face of Mei Ji's angry eyes, Kamiya Shaoce was really scared and didn't dare to make a sound.
"This?" And in the face of Meiji's invitation to a duel, Ichijo really didn't dare to deal with it.
"What? Don't you even dare to accept a woman's duel? Seeing a somewhat hesitant and retreating expression, Mei Ji immediately trembled and asked in a coquettish voice.
"The ......"
"Let's take it!" (To be continued......)
