Chapter Seventy-Two: Repairing Relationships?
It's been a few days, and she still hasn't let go?
At noon, Pei Chen still went to meet his titular monarch. However, after standing outside the door for a while, Pei Chen found that Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't seem to be ready to open the door to meet him, which was very good, avoiding the embarrassing situation between the two parties after the meeting, Pei Chen didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed.
Also, having personally experienced and even seen the era of demon rage, how could Imagawa Yoshimoto be so easily relieved in just a few days?
Even "The Legend of the White Snake" has a similar plot, the white lady went to the underworld to find Xu Xian's soul, but was matched in black and white...... Oh no, it was black and white impermanence that pointed out her identity as a snake demon, and Xu Xian was also scared enough! would rather go to the underworld than return the yang, which shows that the ancients' fear and fear of demons are simply deep in the bone marrow.
Although they are both snake demons in a sense, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen have been husband and wife for many years, and they are still like this. So how can a person like Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has an ambiguous relationship with each other, has no substantive relationship in fact, be exempt from vulgarity?
Pei Chen didn't ask for anything else, he just hoped to be able to rebuild the old friendship with Imagawa Yoshimoto, not too much, just return to the kind of relationship that can at least say a few words. It's just that now it seems that there is little hope!
Raised his hand and wanted to knock on the door again, but I don't know why his movements stopped there again, and then lowered his head, his long black hair covered his face, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled, as if with a trace of sadness, and he turned around and left very freely.
The movements are so graceful that they seem to have completely changed into a person, as if they have put on a mask, so the whole person is completely different. It's just that......
"Stop for Miss Ben! Where do you want to go!! ”
Imagawa Yoshimoto's voice with a hint of panic and crying suddenly came from behind him, Pei Chen stopped in surprise, and turned around to find the proud Ji Daimyo standing by the door, his small feet didn't even have time to put on his shoes, his eyes were ruddy, and he was biting his lower lip tightly.
Imagawa Yoshimoto still hadn't had the courage to come out to meet this "youkai", but after discovering that the knock on the door was no longer ringing, and even that familiar footsteps were about to go away, she suddenly had a very strong premonition.
If she didn't do anything to remedy and retain, and let things go on like this, she and Pei Chen would really become strangers.
The irrepressible fear and despair in her heart forced her to open the door and run out in spite of everything, shouting out those words.
Then, she saw that the familiar figure slowly turned her head, and then looked at herself incredulously, woo, she must be ugly like that!
Pei Chen showed a crying and laughing expression, which was definitely not very good-looking, but in Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes, it was indeed like the dawn of the morning and the opening of the heavens and the earth, which made her tense mood relax.
After this relaxation, some crystals quickly sparkled out of her beautiful eyes, and the strength of her body seemed to be withdrawn from her body together, hugging her shoulders tightly, and she collapsed weakly on the ground.
"Eh, eh?!" Finding that Imagawa Yoshimoto seemed to be about to burst into tears, Pei Chen was stunned, and suddenly panicked, what is the swelling? Why did it soften all of a sudden? He felt at a loss.
……
……
"You're saying you're going to Owari? Why? In the room, Imagawa Yoshimoto deliberately turned his back to Pei Chen, trying to say in a flat tone as much as possible.
Pei Chen helplessly looked at her back with a master's style of "life is really lonely as snow" and said, "Why? Why don't you know yet? Of course, it's to kill Oda Shinna's ambition first! ”
Of course, he knew that the girl's current mood was still a little unstable, and coupled with the fact that she had lost her posture and demeanor in front of him before, she must have been extremely ashamed. It's definitely impossible to let yourself see that kind of embarrassment, although the daily cute photos of the lord of the country are very attractive and valuable to collect......
But if you are beaten by an angry maiden because of this, it will not be very beautiful.
Well, there will be opportunities later. That's what he thought.
And after Imagawa Yoshimoto got in close contact with Pei Chen for a period of time, the mood that was still a little uneasy also stabilized, because he found that this guy didn't seem to have changed much at all - unless he entered a combat state, he would not turn on the mode of killing madness.
"Ambition? Ha, what big ambitions can a foolish princess of Owari have?! Imagawa Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment, and then laughed without a ladylike demeanor, as if he had heard something funny. Just that stupid princess? She couldn't have imagined that anyway.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not here to be funny!! Pei Chen looked at her trembling smile and didn't shy away from reaching out and patting her shoulder. Oda Shinna's ambition is greater than that of most people in this world! ”
"Humph!" Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't care about his small movements, the relationship between the two seemed to have improved a little after this incident, but her little face was still a little red, "I don't believe that foolish princess can have such a big dream!" But...... Do you want to go to Owari? That's not impossible, given your loyalty to me......"
As she spoke, she raised her head proudly, "But there is one condition! ”
Pei Chen's face instantly became a little delicate.
Because of his back to Pei Chen, Imagawa Yoshimoto couldn't see his expression, but he didn't hear his words for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong?" Did Miss Ben say anything strange? ”
"Ahem." Pei Chen pretended to cough a few times, his expression remained unchanged, and he spoke softly, as if to avoid irritating his monarch, but his words were obviously doing such a thing, "Yiyuan, I think you may have misunderstood something, I'm going to Owari, this is a fact that has long been determined, now it's just to inform you...... Not to ask for your opinion. ”
Well, who says men have to be generous? Pei Chen just wants a little revenge back!
Imagawa Yoshimoto's whole person was not good, he bit his lip tightly, his cheeks became extremely red, and he immediately picked up the Zongsan left text in his hand and threw it over, smashed it firmly on Pei Chen's head, and yelled: "You, this carried away guy, actually talked to me like this?!" I'm your ruler, do you know it?!! ”
Well, if anyone else dared to say that, it is estimated that they would have been shown to the public a long time ago......
The rampaging head of the family did not make Pei Chencheng make amends in fear, but the expression on his face was more satisfied. He casually caught Zong Sanzuo's text and put it aside, still triumphantly mending the knife in his mouth: "Okay, my monarch, then tell me your request!" If it wasn't too much, I would consider taking it......"
Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't answer, but her expression became even more ugly, and she could vaguely see something burning in her black jade eyes.
……
……
"You can't go to find out where any monsters are haunted?" Pei Chen repeated suspiciously, "This is what you are asking for?" ”
Well, he admitted, he looked at the girl with a softer gaze.
"Humph! Can't that be done? Or are you a monkey? Imagawa Yoshimoto said with a snort.
"Well, it should be done......"
"Should?!" Imagawa Yoshimoto's voice suddenly rose to a double-digit decibel level, and anyone could clearly hear the anger contained in it.
"Ahem, I mean, you can do it!" Pei Chen quickly changed his words, and immediately changed the topic, to which Imagawa Yoshimoto just snorted coldly and didn't mention anything more.
"Owari is a country with many rivers, fertile soil, and plenty of water, so you won't deny this Yoshimoto, right?" Pei Chen directly applied the geographical knowledge he had squeezed out from Uncle Kinoshita Tojiro.
Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded as a matter of course, even if he was as arrogant as her, he would not deny a fertile land for no reason.
"Owari and the Mino on its back are called Nobi Plains, and it has been an important grain producing area since ancient times, well, I don't need to say too much about the importance of food, you must know best, so ...... Except for the Imagawa family, there are not a few daimyo who are staring there. ”
Pei Chen had a faint smile on his face, but he was sighing in his heart: Sure enough, it was the right choice to discuss the situation and geography of Owari with Mitsuhide and Uncle Fujiyoshiro yesterday!!
If it were really for him, he wouldn't be able to think of so many things.
"So what?" Imagawa Yoshimoto raised his head proudly, and said as a matter of course, "I want to see who can compete with me Imagawa Yoshimoto!" ”
"Yes, yes, Yoshimoto, you are the most powerful......" The perfunctory answer, as if coaxing a child, Pei Chen made Imagawa Yoshimoto's face flush with anger.
"Anyone can keep an eye on Owari, and you have to keep an eye on it too! Anyone can give up, but you can't give up! Pei Chen looked at the beautiful girl opposite, and said in a serious tone, "Because that's the only way for you to replace the Ashikaga clan and inherit the position of the general of Zhengyi!" I'm right! ”
Speaking of which, he himself is muttering, no wonder Imagawa Yoshimoto has been unable to get along with Oda Shinna in the original plot, and has sent troops to fight many times, and has been eyeing Owari Province, it turns out that this is the reason!
"You can really talk to the truth! Are you a monkey? Imagawa Yoshimoto looked away dissatisfied, and muttered in a low voice.
Pei Chen's expression instantly became very subtle: "Why are you always able to pull on the monkey?!" What can I have to do with monkeys? ”
"So, what the hell do you want to do?" Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't answer, but asked Pei Chenlai, "Now that we are in a good situation, something like Owari can be pushed over flat!" I don't believe that foolish princess can really stop it! Why do you want to say it yourself? ”
This is the truth, Imagawa Yoshimoto felt that it was a big deal and pushed it over, but the loss of troops was more serious, and it was really not worth Pei Chen to go over and surrender in person.
"It's not worth it because it will take too long, and the casualties will be much larger than budgeted." Pei Chen shook his head, "Although you now occupy Sumamata, capture Inabayama Castle, and capture Saito Yoshiryu, it will still take some time to truly occupy Mino, especially when Saito Michizo refuses to write a national statement." ”
"What we need is to conquer Owari and Mino, not to destroy, once the army really rises, whether it can be completely cut down and eradicated, but the hatred between each other is absolutely irresolvable. Even if those two are small countries, it will still be a waste of troops to completely eliminate them. ”
Pei Chen's mind was in a hurry, and almost instantly, he found a reasonable explanation for himself and still thinking about the other party, it was perfect!
"Alright! I can barely agree with this reason. After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that he was very unwilling to agree with Pei Chen's statement, Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes rolled, and then he looked at the guy in front of him suspiciously-
"By the way, you're really not going for those beautiful Ji generals of the Oda family?!"
"......" Pei Chen.
