Pillars of the Wu family

I saw Saito Asanobu's nasty face again. This guy has been a little too excited recently. He ran to Kirayoshi every now and then and barely made a turn, showing off his own family everywhere, as if he could do it in the whole world. Swinging his bulging tendons and twisting and dancing strange dances, the little maids were scared and hid quickly, secretly thinking that this lunatic is here to find trouble again.

Saito Chaoxin suddenly turned 360 degrees, pointed at the newly worn clothes and said in a very weird tone: "Look at my clothes at the town hall, look at the strong clothes and look at the fine stitches, how about it! My family Aju is really good at both civil and military! Hahaha..."

Kira Yoshitoki nodded with a smile on his face: "Shimono Mamoru is very excited, why don't I find you something to do?"

"Ah! I'm not excited at all next time. I'm really sorry to disturb the town hall. I'll leave now..." Saito Chaoxin ran away, and the little surnames came out from the corner to repay the departure of this burly man. An expression of relief.

The development of Echigo this year can be described as changing with each passing day. In the past few years, the people of Echigo have not been in a hurry to increase their land. No one would say that the Kira family's strategy is not good. It saves the cost of maintaining the walled city, and living in the village can bring them closer to their own people. It can also improve their own land directly. have to.

Katsucho Irobe watched his two sons grow up little by little. It was not easy for him to have children at his age. The second wife who married only a few years ago gave birth to two children one after another. It is not necessary to inherit the family business Don't worry anymore, I just hope to follow the lord and work hard for a few more years to earn a share of the two brothers' inheritance.

Nakajo Fujisuke, who is also not young, is much luckier than him. His son, Nakajo Kagesuke, is 26 years old this year. His mother is Takanashi Masamori's daughter, and this year he married Takanashi Masamori's daughter as the main wife. Kira's army has accumulated a lot of achievements in several battles, and in this situation, it will not take a few years for him to succeed his father as the assistant governor.

At the Zhengdan court meeting, Yoshitoki Kira and Jinghu Nagao became the focus of everyone.The focus on the former is particularly focused. People are well aware of how powerful the influence of the founders of Echigo is on Hokuriku, Koshin, and even the entire Kanto. More than half of Echigo people take the initiative to get close to the Kira family.

The victories in the two battles established Echigo’s dominant position over Kanto and Koshin. Many people are looking forward to the rapid rise of the Kira family and gain some glory. All the samurai are flattering the young monarch. This change is not unexpected. Contrary to Kira Yoshitoki's expectations, Nagao Jinghu not only did not obstruct their intentions.On the contrary, I am happy to see it succeed. [

When the wine was half full, the village actually raised the wine glass and said loudly: "Everyone, please raise the wine glass, and I will wait for the Zhenfu Hall to wish the Lord good health, and I will be more prosperous in the future!"

"Congratulations to the Town Hall. My lord!"

This night, the heavy snow was flying and sprinkled a thick layer of silver makeup on the Echigo floor. In a secret room in the Kasuga Imperial Palace, two young men came out of the quilt panting, and the girl covered her mouth with her red face. Coughed a few times, and complained in a low voice: "Your Highness is so strong, it hurts Hu Ji!"

"Ah, in the end, I can only enjoy my hands and I'm still not happy. Do I have to wait until next year to lift the ban?" Yoshiki Kira lay lazily on the bed and didn't want to move.

"Impossible! It must be three years, this is our agreement!" Hu Ji seemed to think of something again, glanced at him coquettishly and said: "They can't either!"

"Hey! Ah Hu is really domineering. I won't allow anyone in my family's favor, so I can't live through this day!" Ji Liangyishi responded with a groan, and quietly stretched his leg to hook the girl's willow waist. The tiger girl who was caught off guard was caught He fell into his arms at once, "Tell me how I should punish you!"

"Didn't Your Highness punish Hu Ji just now? Are you still here?" Hu Ji snuggled into his arms with blushing cheeks.The eyes that looked at him were full of love and fascination.

"Well... then let's do it again!" The boy lifted the quilt to cover the two of them, but rolled up again after a while.

……

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the breath of the new year has not yet dissipated. Far in the central and western parts of Vietnam, there is also a vast expanse of snow. The tall oak trees are covered with icicles. Gathered a group of monks, this is the main point of the Etsuchu.One of the areas with the highest concentration of sect activities in Hokuriku.

Different from the ice and snow outside, in a secret room in the apse of Ruiquan Temple, seven or eight fat-headed monks and a dozen warriors poured in one after another, and braziers were placed in each of the four corners of the room.There is also a burning firepit in the middle. An iron pot is hung on the firepit. There is delicious chicken soup stewed in the pot. If you look carefully, there are mushrooms, hazelnuts and other mountain delicacies dotted in the soup.

They are Yixiang Zongfang officials from Yuezhong, and powerful believers of the local Yixiangzong. The two leaders are the banner heads of Yixiang Yikui in Yuezhong, Yuncheng of Shengxing Temple and Yanxiu of Ruiquan Temple. The short, fat and thin ones match very well, and what's even more ingenious is that one has a ferocious expression, and the other has a kind eyebrow and kind eyes, just like a contrasting painting.

Shengxing Temple Yuncheng, with a big waist, a round waist, and a shiny face, is as fleshy as Lu Da. A pair of bull-eyed lords of the country shrank their heads, their ferocious expression is like an angry wild boar, and his temper is indeed a powder keg. It means that those who dared to provoke him in Beilu these years did not leave alive.

Once he gets angry, even the former Dharma master Honganji Zhengru can't stop him. He holds a 30-jin cast iron Zen stick in his hand. When he is angry, he picks up the cast iron Zen stick and knocks it on the person's head. Guaranteed to hit the brain burst, red and white splashes everywhere.

The other one is the abbot of Ruiquan Temple, a benevolent and kind-hearted Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu. This old monk is not young, and he seems to have no aura at all for his dry, thin and short man, regardless of whether everyone in the room heard him or not. He talked slowly and endlessly. Listening carefully, he seemed to be talking about trivial matters in the monastery, but no one dared to offend the old monk. [

Those who offended him, including his younger brother who once competed with him for the position of abbot, disappeared forever. No one knows where they went. The old monk just recited the Buddha's name with a compassionate face. There are not a few people who died in vain among the Yue Chinese who have always participated in the ceremony. Everyone who died has a characteristic. They have never come out after entering Ruiquan Temple. Such a horrible past adds a bit of gloom to this temple.

"All the young monks of Honjue Temple are here!"

A monk wearing a golden cassock walked into the secret room and saw that Yuncheng of Shengxing Temple and Tanxiu of Ruiquan Temple were already in the dojo, he put his hands together with a smile, and made a humble salute and said, "Just now the heavy snow on the road delayed our journey, so Sorry for being late, poor monk!"

"Master Dingyun just arrived, and the poor monk just arrived!" Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu uttered a lie full of mistakes, which seemed unconvincing, but none of the warriors present dared to laugh. The old monk remembers all his life, unless he escapes from Yuezhong and never comes back, otherwise he will always have a way to "invite" you to Ruiquan Temple, and the methods are only cruel and creepy.

"Don't waste time, let's start!" Shengxing Temple Yuncheng said impatiently.

"Hehe, then listen to the great monk Yun Chengquan, let's talk about the business first!" The old monk Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu closed his mouth, and a young monk he killed immediately went on to say: "The envoy of the Jiafei Takeda family a few days ago Heaven came over and said that he would join forces with us to deal with Echigo, what do you guys think?"

This is the youngest and most favored son of Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu, who is only 23 years old this year. Seeing Ruiquan Temple Tanxiu's loving face, all the local officials in Yuezhong began to weigh this young man However, Zhunxiu of Ruiquan Temple who was sitting opposite was not moved by this, as if he didn't care that his position of abbot was snatched away by his uncle Tanxiu.

"The Kai Takeda family is not asking for the land of Kita Shinano. Last year, I listened to his words and died thousands of lives in vain. It is abhorrent to ask afterwards that it is completely clean!" An official cursed angrily. The local officials also showed signs of approval. Making a fuss is their specialty, but the premise is that the other party must be a soft persimmon that can be pinched, and it will not be happy if it is replaced by a stone on the head.

"Didn't they keep saying that Echigo is a piece of fat and you can earn it back by just biting it off? Why did we hire 7000 people, and the Takeda family only took 500 taels of gold? What's the use of it!" Several officials quietly passed their eyes and followed Booing, what they meant was very clear. It would be better to continue to develop the territory if it is not worthwhile after the war.

"It is precisely because we have suffered losses that we should fight back! I think this and that envoy is right, we can retreat!" Shengxing Si Rongrong was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but Yun Cheng, a vicious and evil monk. Son, judging from his expression, he seems not to be in harmony with Zhunxuan of Ruiquan Temple. The eyes of the two collided many times in this secret room. If the eyes can kill people, they must have died several times.

"Hehe! The poor monk thought that what Master Yanrong said was right. With the fierce determination of the Kira family to deal with us and other believers, they will definitely not bypass us in a few years. Who knows if the next target will be the next target after the Takeda family falls? What about me?" Dingyun of Benjue Temple unhurriedly interjected, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

This monk is the abbot of the Bodhi Temple of the Jinbao family. This time, he came here with an important mission, which is to urge Yixiang Yikui to launch an attack on Echigo. The Jinbao family and the Echigo Nagao family have a deep hatred, so it didn't take long for the emissary of the Takeda family to explain the position of Jinbao chief. The rest is to throw out 200 taels of gold and set your own price. . (to be continued...)
