A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 244 Uesugi Terutora
As soon as he finished speaking, many of the Uesugi family retainers became more and more surprised. They were worried for a long time, but the other party only asked for this?
This is not even a requirement!

They immediately looked at their lord eagerly, with the same thought written on their faces: Promise him quickly, lest he regret it later!

At this moment, Terutora Uesugi was also a little surprised, not only because of the seemingly insignificant price proposed by the other party, but also because her guardian spirit, the iron-eating beast, wanted to remind her aloud, even at the risk of being punished. .

"The Hidden Yellow Dragon, although I have never heard of this name, but the other party may be one of the lost dragons of the Cathay Empire. It is very likely that he is a real dragon!"

Another guardian spirit couldn't help echoing: "Dragon son? Although I have lost most of my memory, after hearing this word, I still can't help but tremble slightly. It seems to be excited, but also It seems to be the fear engraved in the bottom of my heart."

Uesugi Teruhora pursed her lips again, and then she readily agreed: "Very good, I promise you, His Highness Nagamasa."

"Oh oh oh, you are indeed my lord!"

"That is so generous, His Highness Nagamasa!"

"It is indeed the 'Dragon of Omi'!"

As soon as Uesugi Terutoro's words fell, the whole room erupted in an instant. Almost all the retainers couldn't hold back their excitement. Even Usami Dingman, a military adviser who always regarded himself as prudent, couldn't help but rubbed fiercely. Dozens of his precious beards were broken without even realizing it.

It's because the stakes are so high.

If the alliance between our family and the Asai family has found a powerful ally that can compete with the Takeda family, then what the other party promises will allow our family to completely gain a foothold in the increasingly turbulent waves!

In comparison, the price our family needs to pay is negligible. Anyway, when our family is trying hard to expel the Yixiang Sect in the territory, even if we do not introduce the so-called hidden Huanglong belief, it will definitely make other smelly monks cheaper. It is better to exchange for actual Interests!

Military advisor Usami Sadamitsu looked to the side, only to find that his lord, who had never been interested in such things, actually listened with interest.

No, wait, her eyes seem to be on the other person.
After signing the formal covenant, military advisor Usami Sadamitsu and other civil servants immediately began to draft formal documents, hoping to put this matter into writing as soon as possible.

Although in the chaotic Warring States Period, many samurai and daimyo did not regard paper documents as anything, and they would not hesitate to break their alliances for sufficient benefits, but the daimyo of this family is a rare person who values ​​trust. Now, It seems that the other party is also the same, so they naturally have to pay more attention to it.

But inadvertently looking back, they noticed that while many warriors kept complimenting each other, the lord was staring at each other with a smile, and after exchanging a few glances, their eyes were somewhat mysterious.

Being able to be treated with such special regard by the Lord is something that has never happened in many years.
While Asai Nagamasa was dealing with the samurai of the Uesugi family about many details of the Battle of Norada and the Battle of Nagara River, Uesugi Terutora suddenly said: "Your Majesty Nagamasa, I have met the three great masters of Dao before. I don't know what this Hime samurai is like. Master Tao San."

Axiu, who had been sitting there in silence, was stunned when she heard the words. She didn't expect that she would be mentioned.

Asai Nagamasa was also a little surprised. Axiu was so good-looking, but Dosan looked like a bad old man. How did Uesugi Terutora see the similarities between them?

Is it possible that, just like Oda Nobunaga, the other party also has the special power to see through the guardian spirit?
This is not impossible. Ever since he met the other party in Kyoto, he found that the other party was covered by Buddha's light all over his body, obviously possessing some special power.

This thought flashed through his mind. Faced with the question raised by the other party, he still asked Axiu with his eyes. He promised the other party that he would not reveal her identity casually.

Seeing the other party nodding in approval, he turned around and responded: "She is my companion, her name is Saito Yoshihide, and she is indeed the daughter of Lord Dao San."

There was an uproar around them. They originally thought that the other party and the other red-hot woman were maids or accompanying Ji warriors. Due to the identity of His Highness Nagamasa, they did not interfere.

Although the two of them are somewhat exaggerated in terms of figure and height, considering that the other party is a big name after all, it is understandable to choose these two outstanding women, but they never expected that this woman turned out to be "Meinong" Viper "Michizo Saito's daughter?

Why have I never heard of this news?If the other party had told this matter during the attack on Meinong, it would have gone much smoother, right?

Uesugi Teruhu, who has a straightforward personality, simply asked directly.

Asai Nagamasa looked at Axiu again, and then replied: "Because Axiu doesn't want to be troubled by the secular world, and I don't want to take advantage of this. The knife in my hand is enough to cut through everything."

Many of the samurai around him couldn't help but lost their voices for a while. Even the Uesugi family members, including Kakizaki Keie and Onikojima Yataro, who were famous for their good fighting skills, remained silent.

Although this sentence seemed a little arrogant, they had to accept it based on the martial arts displayed by the other party.

Although there are many young daimyo in power in Nippon, and their power may even be greater than that of the Asai family, such as the young master of the Ichigo Sect Honganji Temple, the only one who can truly carve out such a large territory with one sword and one spear is the other party.

Uesugi Terotora couldn't help becoming more interested when she heard the words, she simply opened a coffee table next to it, and then, with Asai Nagamasa's slightly surprised expression, she directly took out the wine jar and bowls from it, and poured three bowls in a row.

Before everyone could react, she had already raised the bowl: "Okay, you are indeed worthy of His Highness Changzheng, and it is worthy of congratulations!"

Many retainers of the Uesugi family immediately lowered their heads or hid their faces, and some even turned red because they had anticipated what was going to happen next.

What followed was a series of "gu dong gu dong" sounds, three large bowls of wine, all drank by Uesugi Teruhora himself in less than ten breaths.

The corner of Asai Nagamasa's mouth also twitched, which was really surprising.

On such an important occasion, it was weird that she actually hid wine in the coffee table. What was even weirder was that she took it out and actually drank it, and she drank it all by herself!

Maybe she really just wanted to find an excuse to drink?
But it is indeed amazingly heroic, and because of her appearance and appearance, it doesn't seem too rude for her to do so. Even the eyes of the two women beside her are shining, not only Jing Yi who was sleepy just now Naohu and even Axiu, who has always been indifferent, are like this. Obviously they all think that the other person is very attractive at this moment.

He smiled slightly at that moment, turned his hands, took out a few bottles of special spirits, and opened them directly: "Haha, it has been rumored that His Highness Jinghu has a lot of wine, why not try the crafted Nanman wine, it is said that they are called brandy , produced in the knightly kingdom of Bretonnia, is a strong liquor that is different from sake.”

Feeling the aroma of wine rushing towards his face, Uesugi Terutoro's eyes lit up immediately: "Oh, since that's the case, Jinghu will be disrespectful."

After looking at the two women, she took out three large bowls from the coffee table and lined them up in front of her. They were obviously prepared for Asai Nagamasa and the three of them. However, seeing how skillfully she looked, she must have not. Drink less during meetings?

Seeing the two people quickly drinking one bowl after another, and making compliments from time to time, many warriors around them couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Drinking on such an occasion was just like fooling around. They had always thought that the Lord was the only one in Nibon who would be fooling around like this, but now it seems that there is one more person!
Axiu also tried it, but soon she shook her head and put down the bowl again because she felt it had no taste.

Upon seeing this, Ii Naotora cautiously took a sip, but she immediately put it down with her face flushed. She looked at several people as if they were looking at monsters. Now she only felt hot all over her body. Even without using magic, she felt like she was It's about to burst into flames!
Uesugi Teruhu was indeed a huge drinker. In just half a quarter of an hour, most of the bottles of brandy went into her stomach, but she was still not satisfied, and her complexion was only a little rosy.

Sighing and putting down the big bowl in his hand, Uesugi Teruhu rearranged his clothes and said seriously: "Recently, there have been frequent monsters causing trouble in our country, especially near Linsen Temple at the foot of Kasuga Mountain. I heard that there are tengu, and ordinary samurai cannot be hostile. , I wonder if His Highness Nagamasa would be willing to fight with me for a day?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Axiu, who was dazed again.

Before Asai Nagamasa could answer, military advisor Usami Sadamitsu and others couldn't help but murmur to themselves, because this invitation was not an ordinary invitation to fight against monsters.

The legend of Tengu gradually spread in the foothills of Kasuga Mountain more than ten years ago, but at first they all thought it was a thief dressed as Tengu, and the Lord had made similar invitations several times.

The first time, many retainers urged the lord to find a suitable marriage partner. There were many outstanding warriors introduced at that time. The lord got angry several times but could not survive. In the end, he had to choose a young samurai and invited him to go with him. Defeat the thieves suspected of being Tengu.

At that time, I and others were still muttering that the warrior was not only mediocre in martial arts, but also had poor character. He didn't know what the lord liked about him.

However, considering that the lord was already very old, he finally got the hang of it, so they reluctantly endured it. Anyway, if this matter could really be accomplished, with their loyal and brave retainers around, they would definitely not let the lord be bullied by the other party. of.Then the samurai died.

The thief they thought was there was clearly the real, legendary Tengu.

You must know that that time was not like now. There were almost no monsters in the wilds of Nibon, so the impact on them can be imagined.

But when he came back, the lord was still lamenting that he couldn't even defeat monsters, so how could he be worthy of being her husband?

Another half year passed, and some of the courtiers couldn't help but began to urge the marriage. The lord picked another young samurai, who was also of poor character, and invited him to fight against the tengu. Then the samurai died again as expected.

In this way, after three samurai died in a row, no one dared to urge the marriage anymore, and the lord naturally would not take the initiative to mention it.

Many of the courtiers knew better and did not ask any more questions, because they were not fools, and the lord's attitude was already very clear.

Moreover, the lord has no heirs, which is not a bad thing for the retainers, because no matter who the lord marries, he will definitely have a tendency in the future, so it is better to maintain the current situation.

The lord, who had almost no worldly desires other than drinking and practicing martial arts, did not value land or gold and silver. Almost all the gains from previous battles were at the expense of his retainers.

But now it seems that after many years, the lord may be really tempted this time. She actually once again took the initiative to mention the crusade against Tengu, and the possibility of success this time is also very high, because Asai Nagamasa is definitely not that It's easy to die. After all, he is the "Dragon of Omi" who has created many miracles!

But he was not sure for a while. If it could really happen, would it be good or bad for the family?
Moreover, the other party already has a woman by his side, and it is rumored that he has entered into a marriage contract with the Oda family. Will the Lord be willing?
But no matter how he murmured in his heart, Asai Nagamasa still agreed. He didn't know the inside story, but he would not refuse anything to conquer the demon.

Seeing that the two people were about to set off, a slight cough suddenly came from nowhere, and Uesugi Teruhu and Usami Sadamitsu's expressions changed in unison.

"My lord, Your Highness Nagamasa, since you are going to defeat demons, why not taste our delicacies first to refresh yourself and get twice the result with half the effort?"

Terutora Uesugi hesitated for a rare moment, and finally nodded: "That's fine."

Asai Nagamasa immediately smiled and said: "Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

He had known for a long time that there was someone behind the screen, but he didn't expect that the other person's status would be so high that even the very independent-minded Teruhu Uesugi would be affected by it?

Asai Nagamasa and others were the first to leave under the leadership of their attendants, and many important ministers also dispersed.

The strategist Usami Sadamitsu, who was at the back, wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and gave up.

Because he knew that what he said was useless, the lord had always been very assertive, now it was up to the people behind the screen to make a decision.

However, I'm afraid it's not very reliable. After all, the master's alcohol addiction was cultivated by the other party from childhood!
When everyone dispersed, a young woman whose face was somewhat similar to Terutora Uesugi's, but slightly less handsome, but whose figure was more charming, came out.

She looked at Terutora Uesugi with a mischievous look on her face: "What, Tora Chiyo, are you really tempted this time?"

Uesugi Teruhu couldn't help but blush slightly, even more rosy than when she had just drank. Although she was a little shy, she was still honest: "Aya, facing such an excellent warrior, even you, sister, will probably Interested?"

The woman called Ah Ling couldn't help but chuckled: "It's a pity, but my sister and I married that nasty bastard."

Her name is Aya, and she is the two-year-old elder sister of Terutora Ouesugi.

Out of profit considerations, she was married by the family to the governor of the Ueda Nagao clan and the lord of Sakado Castle, Nagao Masakage, because she was also called Sentoin.

But this turned out to be a wrong move in the end, because even so, the opponent had no loyalty to Uesugi Kagetora. He once rebelled, but in the end it was Uesugi Teruator who personally sent troops to defeat the opponent.

Therefore, the relationship between the two couples is not good. As the elder sister, A Ling has lived with her sister all year round and has not gone back for several years.

Not only because of the other party's original rebellion, she could endure the incompetent, stupid and greedy husband for her sister, but she couldn't bear the other party's unrealistic illusions about her sister.

Even if her sister hadn't stopped him, she should have killed him directly.

But now, I feel relieved a little bit.

Although the knife didn't make him squat and pee directly, he would never have a child again in this life.

Aya then changed her tone: "However, I have always wanted to marry a good family, and now is a very good opportunity. I wonder if you can give it to me, Tora Chiyo?"

Uesugi Teruhu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She finally met one, but she didn't want to give up just like that. But it was also difficult for her sister. Can't two sisters marry each other together?
Seeing that her eyes quickly lost focus, and she didn't know what she was thinking, Aya immediately shook her hand: "'Hey, hey, Tora Chiyo, I'm joking, don't think too much, how could my sister be with you? What about robbing men?'"

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw the narrow eyes, his face turned slightly red, but he didn't defend himself, he just nodded lightly.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Aya couldn't help but smile even more: "Tora Chiyo, why don't you let me help you test whether the other party is a true gentleman."

Teru Uesugi raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you want to test it?"

"Of course I'm going to be a maid and sleep with you!"

Aya said without hesitation something that made many women blush.

Uesugi Teruhu also blushed more and more, but she had to admit that this was indeed a very direct and very effective method.

But she suddenly thought of something: "A Ling, Lord Nagamasa is very strong. If he really falls in love with your beauty, he really thinks you are here to sleep with him."

She has always known her sister's beauty. Although she has practiced martial arts with her since she was a child, ordinary warriors are definitely no match, but the other party is far from being an ordinary warrior.

A'ya thought for a while: "That can be regarded as achieving the goal, and he is so handsome, I won't suffer at all."

Uesugi Teruhora suddenly blushed more and more. Although she was bold by nature, had been a daimyo for many years, and had always pretended to be a man when fighting abroad, she was still inferior to her older sister who had been married.

A'ling looked at her sister's appearance and couldn't help but laugh slyly: "Haha, I'm kidding you. If I read correctly, the two women around him are still virgins. He should be a virgin." A true gentleman."

"Or, it's possible that he's disabled in that area because of practicing magic? Then I have to test it out even more, because I can't let my beautiful sister remain a widow~"

Uesugi Teru couldn't help but blush more and more. She turned around and ran away: "Forget it, forget it, Aya, you make your own decision. I, I'm going to prepare for the battle!"

Looking at her sister's retreating back, Aya behind her couldn't help but think thoughtfully: "Torachiyo, it looks like you are really serious this time."
