Not to mention personal thoughts, the moon still sets and the sun rises in the same way.

The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Keizhya summoned Tsuruko, Nobumasa Nagasaka, Mibuchi Fujito, and Yucho Kudo to gather in a room to discuss the next step of the trip.

Jing Zhen first repeated what Takeda Shintora said yesterday in its original and unrhetorical manner, and then let everyone speak freely.

"I think what Takeda Shintora said makes sense, we have to do something big, but until now, I haven't trained or fought in battle, and I haven't really stretched my fists and feet when I beat those people in Mino. I heard that there is a two-headed war here in three days, so we can practice our skills here! "Nobumasa Nagasaka's speech was, as always, in line with his martial idiot personality.

"I feel that Dr. Zuo Jing seems to be sincere, but he may not have other thoughts. With such a hero, it is difficult to be restless day and night, and it is better to make plans to get out as soon as possible. "Mibuchi Fuji's opinion, as always, is contrary to that of Nagasaka Nobumasa.

It was inconvenient for Tsuruko to take the lead as a relative, so everyone then looked at Kudo Yucho.

"Not long after I entered the command of His Highness, I still don't know about many situations, so I have a few questions for Your Highness to answer."

"First, has Your Highness decided to finally return to Izumo and start everything?"

"Of course, Izumo is my best choice!"

"Second, is it the right time to return to Izumo?"

"I don't know, but according to my information channels, my cousin, Shioji Kohisa, will be patient to the limit this year and start a rebellion against my uncle. He has no righteous name in his hands, and he has no talent to win over the countrymen, so it is difficult to achieve great things, but the Ouchi clan will definitely take this opportunity to incite the Nishi-Izumo rebellion, and the next few years will be eventful for Izumo, and he will always look for opportunities to start up. But I can't wait too late, my uncle is old, and he should officially pass on the throne in five or six years at most. ”

"Thirdly, is Your Highness fully ready?"

Jingzhen wanted to nod his head and add a little confidence to this small group, but looking at Yucho Kudo's serious eyes, he finally shook his head:

"I thought I was ready for anything. But it wasn't until last night that I realized it wasn't. ”

"Although Dr. Zuojing is paranoid, his talent at this stage is indeed above me, and he can only barely maintain the situation in Kai One Country. Izumo has Ouchi in the west, Asakura in the east, and Hosokawa (Miyoshi) in the south, and there are many people and Shinto forces in the interior, and there is no less complicated than here. What's more, a doctor Zuo Jing, who is good at martial arts and is not good at strategy, pointed out his weaknesses and wavered his mind in just three words, and the uncle who started with seventy people and commanded eleven countries is even more famous for playing with people's hearts and manipulating conspiracies. ”

"I understand that His Highness's return to Izumo is a foregone conclusion, but it is still unknown when he will be ready and decide to set foot on that land."

"So, in the meantime, we will continue to wait in hibernation. Either in, or even closer to the border of Tamba and Bichu, or in Mino, or even Kai, it is an option. ”

"The former is close to the water, and it is more convenient to spy on news or seize opportunities, but on the contrary, it is easier for us to leak information, just like Dr. Zuojing knew about our every move in Mino Country in advance, so it is difficult to let go of your hands and feet to prepare."

"The latter is hundreds of miles away from Izumo, and the relevant news and timing have to lag by three to five days (Note 1), but relatively speaking, it is also beneficial for us to better disguise our movements and launch abruptly, so we can better temper ourselves."

"Based on the above, the matters that need to be prejudged by His Highness are very clear. Which is more important to our cause, the changes in the current situation or our own tempering? ”

Jingzhen stood up, faced the crowd, and closed her eyes.

"I often dream of the same world. The vastness of the world, with hundreds of millions of people, including the blonde whites, the swarthy and sturdy blacks, and the many more yellow-skinned and black-eyed people of our kind, mingled with each other and formed hundreds of countries with very different customs and customs. Those people who were accustomed to settling disputes and contradictions through trade, negotiation, and strategy were able to concentrate more on their inventions, building buildings that were a hundred times taller than Izumo Taisha, making cars that ran on their own on four wheels, and freeing steel birds that could soar in the sky...... They can do almost anything. ”

"This dream is so clear and so real, it makes me like a scholar who strayed into Dahuai Anguo in the Ming Kingdom script (Note 2), and I have been crazy in it for decades."

However, no matter how realistic the details of the dream are, you can't continue to deceive yourself the moment you wake up. For a long time, whenever I woke up from a straw mat or tatami mat, I would cry out of tears, frantically nostalgic for the soft bed, the bright spring light, the buzzing voices, and even a cold drink called Hitaku Happy Water. Day and night, waking up and sleeping, the two I live two completely different lives in two worlds, cherishing the second in the dream of longing, being down-to-earth, and having no heart and lungs in the difficult reality, and playing life. ”

"Therefore, although I always admonished myself to forget my dreams and move forward, from Izumo to Kyoto, from Shinano to Mino, I always subconsciously treated people according to the rules of that place, and I always deliberately avoided blood and deceit, and I always fantasized about seizing the changes in the situation and achieving great things by surrendering the army without a fight."

"However, this world is not this world after all, and the 'indisputable victory' (Note 3) that prevails in that world is particularly anachronistic here, such as the reckless military force of Dr. Sakyo, and the abandonment of His Highness Nagai (Michizo Saito) in general seems to be the standard answer and a wise choice? Along the way, because of my wanton willfulness, I am really sorry to let you accompany me into danger! At this point, he couldn't stand up to the crowd in front of him.

"My lord, no, Brother Jingzhen. But we are willing to follow the eldest brother because you are different! Nagasaka Nobumasa said flatly.

Jingzhen raised her head suddenly, with two lines of tears in the corners of her eyes, and saw the four people in front of her all looking at her with a smile, and nodded encouragedly at Nagasaka Nobumasa's words, Nagasaka Nobumasa struggled to be in the limelight, scratched his head shyly, and continued:

"I have also muttered many times with that guy from Mibuchi Fuji, Brother Jingzhen is obviously not handsome, his martial arts are only a little higher than me, and his mind is only a little better than me, and he often likes to pretend to be handsome, why did we run out of Kyoto with a daze? I couldn't tell you how I felt before, but when I heard you say this today, we suddenly understood that no matter how many of us, this country, or this era, we are waiting for such an 'incompatible' person as my eldest brother! ”

"Along the way, didn't my eldest brother also tell us a lot of ancient and modern history? Since the rebellion of Yingren, the world has been in dispute for more than 70 years, the big waves and the sand are swept away, and the heroes are all in a hurry, but even the two families of Hosokawa and Yamana, which have the highest lintel and the strongest power, are only known as the 'one-sixth hall', and they are still very far away from winning the world and ending the troubled times. Despite attacking each other, our martial artists and the people of the world are still looking forward to a hero who can lead everyone to end the troubled times in their hearts. ”

"But what kind of heroes can take on this ambition?" Mibuchi Fuji was just right to give Nagasaka a shout-out.

"There are already too many heroes in this small world! Not to mention the dead Western Hero Great Inner Hall, the Hojo Hall and Nagao Hall in the Kanto region, the Takeda Hall in Koshin, the Roxagonal Hall and the Asakura Hall in, and even the pit viper, Hosokawa, Miyoshi, Otomo, and Shimazu in Shikoku Kyushu can all be called talented and handsome for a while, if they are only born in one life, they have the possibility of leading to the world, but now, they can only have a corner, and they bite and struggle with each other for a country and a county. ”

"What His Royal Highness Nobumasa said is exactly" Seeing that Nagasaka Nobumasa was running out of words in just three seconds, Kudo Yucho took over the conversation and continued, "There are also ranks of heroes, and what we have seen and heard before are just 'ordinary' heroes, either civil or martial, strong or weak, with the strength to dominate one or several countries, but in the end, it is difficult to get rid of the shackles of predecessors and go to the world!" ”

"But Your Highness is different. In my opinion, although Your Highness is not wise enough, calm enough, broad enough, and brave enough, it is not as good as the heroes of the world, but these can be learned and experienced, and what you have is difficult for others to copy! ”

"We have never imagined that these things that we have never imagined have become a reality in the hands of His Highness."

"So, Jingzhen should be more confident, for himself, and for us", Crane stepped forward and gently wiped away the tears on Jingzhen's face, "'The middle stream hits the water, the waves curb the flying boat', isn't it very good that His Royal Highness Kudo often recites the poem!" Uphold your heart, sharpen your skills, and chase your dreams, we will always accompany you, because you are the big brother recognized by all of us! Take responsibility and backbone! ”

After saying that, Tsuruko pulled Jingzhen to everyone's side, held up his right hand, and learned the game that the two had played, and folded the right hands of Nagasaka Nobumasa, Mibuchi Fuji, and Kudo Yucho in turn, and finally covered his right hand on the top.

"Your Highness" ×2

"Big Brother"

"Jingzhen"

"Come on!"

"Thank you! I suddenly realized that although there are no mobile phones, computers, and Coke in this era, it seems to be not bad" Jingzhen said the first half of the sentence, and then muttered the second half of the sentence.

"I've decided, I don't like the world in front of me, but I'm not averse to the process of making it better by doing it myself. The first step is to aim for the world and have a good time with those 'ordinary' heroes! ”

I have the answer to your questions about timing and waiting.

"Fifty years of life, is there any one who lives forever? Towards the sea of stars, we will encounter more boulders that stand in our way, more heroes who surpass our uncles, do we have to wait forever for the water to come out, and the heroes to come to an end before waiting for the opportunity to move? ”

"Therefore, I choose to sharpen my sword today and wait now, in order to show my sword tomorrow, no longer wait! I decided to go out as a guest at the Takeda clan, learn from Dr. Sakyo, and surpass him to complete the first 'Heroic Trial'! ”

"Today's winter sky is clear, there is no flavor, everyone can do their own thing, I want to make up for a good night's sleep."

After sorting out the way forward, Jingzhen finally let go of the burden in his heart, because he was tired physically and mentally after experiencing sleepless and tangled last night, he turned into the room and fell asleep in a daze. During this time, he had a rare sweet dream, and it seemed that he had returned to the land again, and spent an ordinary and fulfilling day as a migrant worker from clocking in to getting off work on time, and then went home to eat and laugh in front of his parents.

What a dream!

……

The next day, when Itagaki Nobukata came to visit again on behalf of Takeda Shintora, Jingzhen did not hesitate to agree to the other party's departure from the Takeda clan as a guest general.
