Chapter 547: Raging Storm
In April, it is rainy season.
The cold waters of the Matsuura River outside Kishidake Castle are crystal clear. Until morning, it was drizzling on the sandbar on the shore. From the surrounding mountains and forests, from time to time, a few fox or wild boar cries can be heard, which is deafening. The morning rooster had stopped whining, and the mansion was cold and quiet.
At this time, Ju Ji stood under the eaves, holding Tang Wang Maru, who was sleeping in her arms, and looked at the small pool in the courtyard that was formed by the rain last night.
She remembered that five years ago, it was her loyal father who gave her to Zhengliang as the main room. At that time, she was only fourteen years old, and she did not quite know the difference between men and women. Her father said to her, "I will send you to the head of the house." You must serve him well. Then he entrusted the matter to his mother, who told her with a straight face the difference between the bodies of men and women.
"The head of the family is seventeen years old, so you must serve with your heart." When she realized that service was not just about eating and dressing, her face turned red. If her mother had shown the slightest bit of shame when she told her this, she would have fled the room with a red face. However, the mother, who is known as a heroine among women and even her father can tolerate three points, carefully explained to her in a stereotypical tone: "These are all for the purpose of reproduction, and there should be no carelessness." ”
After explaining, she told her solemnly: "It's up to you to do the future." In the cherry blossom season, she came to Masahiro's side with her mother. When the cherry blossoms were in full bloom at the foot of Notaka Mountain, she met Masara for the first time. And then in this way, she became the wife of Masayo's main room.
The two have been married for more than half a year, but Masato didn't do anything to her that mother said about men and women. Finally, under the urging of her parents again, she couldn't help but shyly ask why Zhengliang didn't touch her. As a result, Masara gently scratched her nose with his hand. Then he said, "Wait a little longer." Those things are not good for your health right now. ”
So she waited for half a year in a daze. Finally, on a night when she was waiting for Masato to bathe, it triggered Masaliang's bestiality. Soon after, she became pregnant with Tang Wang Maru. Since then, Masahiro's figure has deeply imprinted on her heart.
She is just a gentle, considerate, quiet and silent woman who supports Zhengliang behind her back. Although her mother would always tell her when she came to visit her occasionally, the women of the Warring States wealthy clan should be conscious. What exactly is this so-called enlightenment? She never understood, and her mother didn't tell her what those words really meant.
And after the sudden bad news that Masahiro was "unconscious" and unconscious, she finally understood the meaning of these two words. She desperately wants to see Masayo and then do her duty as a wife to take care of her.
But her father, Heiji Togo, stopped her. Then he told her what she should do most at this time. That is, to take Tang Wangmaru, who is only more than three years old, to meet the retainers who swear allegiance to the public, and at the same time, she has to pretend to be calm to show her strong side as a housewife, so that the retainers can feel at ease.
But after all, people have feelings, and at this time, she felt extremely lonely, sad, and scared without knowing it...... But all these negative feelings cannot be manifested in this special period, and even she has to show the opposite side of her inner feelings.
Now, the only wish in Juji's heart is to see the "unconscious" side of Masayo. But this was still rejected by her father, Togo Heiji, so she had to hold her only remaining spiritual support, Tang Manmaru, in a daze alone.
As a matter of fact. In an attic not far from Kikuhime, Masara was looking at Kikuhime in a daze through a window crack.
"Hey! In order to make things seem more realistic, and to avoid leaking the news, I can only temporarily wronged you. Masashi muttered to himself.
In fact, at this time, Masashi was indeed playing with fire. You must know that in the era of the Warring States Period, such a thing as a sudden serious injury to the family governor is definitely equivalent to a seven-magnitude earthquake for the family. If you are not careful, it is very likely to cause a lot of unforeseen things.
Of course, as long as Zhengliang stands up in time, then many things will be solved. It's just that this opportunity to stand up must be grasped just right, otherwise the drama deliberately directed by Zhengliang this time is likely to become a real drama.
The time soon entered May of the 14th year of astronomy. The Luo family is caught in the busy spring farming busy, although the news that the lord of the country is seriously injured and comatose has been quietly spread widely in the territory, but after all, the land is the lifeblood of the lords, although many people are indeed very concerned about the injury of the lord, but this is also to serve these lands that determine whether they are fed and clothed before they can think about it.
It's just that the important ministers of the Luo family don't seem to want the people to have extra time to come and go, so while the spring plowing and farming are busy, the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet once again issued a large-scale conscription, organizing the conscriptors to vigorously carry out the construction of marching roads, the repair of water conservancy, and the reclamation of farmland.
As for the standing army of the Luo family, it seems that they have also collectively remained silent. Ever since receiving the order in Masato's letter, the commanders of each team have been carrying out Masayo's order step by step.
Compared to the situation that seems to be hidden in the internal calm of the Luo family's territory, the powerful people around the Luo family responded differently because they received the news that Zhengliang was seriously injured and unconscious.
After fattening, the wealthy families who had just fought with the Luo family in March finally breathed a sigh of relief, and while rejoicing that they could finally organize spring ploughing with peace of mind, they also kept praying in their hearts that the eagle in front of Feiqian would not wake up again.
Of course, there is not peace everywhere. In Higo Kamiyijo-gun, the forces allied by the Nawa family, the Sagara family, and the Ichimune clan are fighting with the army of the Omiya family. And Kikuchi Yoshitake, who disappeared from Kikuchi Prefecture, was not willing to be lonely. He suddenly formed an alliance with the Kagoko family, and regained his original castle. After gaining a foothold in the main castle for a while, he immediately led his troops to kill the upper road castle of the Omiya family, trying to fish in troubled waters from the melee of all sides.
And after learning of the mutation of the Luo family, in order to find out the truth of the Luo family, the Ouchi family immediately sent Masahiro's cheap father-in-law, Sagara Takeren, to the Luo family. Similarly, the Shimazu family in Satsuma also sent Tadaro Ijiin as an envoy to the Luo family. Obviously, both of them coincidentally ate a closed door in Anyue City, and apart from getting a vague reply from the Luo family's retainers, they didn't even see the shadow of Zhengliang.
Compared with the careful investigation of the Ouchi family and the Shimazu family, the Otomo family was much more intense, and Otomo Yoshikan, who had finally put down the rebellion, was furious when he learned of the results of Higo's battle, and even sent two large armies to the border of the Luo family in Chikugo and Higo despite the upright spring ploughing.
With the advent of the Otomo family's army, the rebels who had been dormant in the depths of the Luo family finally realized that the opportunity had come, so they dispatched one after another.
A raging storm is coming. (To be continued......)
