Warring States Eagle

After the sun went down, Kuro sneaked out of his own house in the castle town of Kishitake Mountain, and then quietly came to a hidden corner of the castle town.

The moon is not out yet.Standing in a hidden corner and looking east, I saw a courtyard built of bricks and tiles hundreds of meters away.At this time, the yard was already lit, and there were a few twigs blooming randomly by the wooden windows of the yard, which were reflected on the partition door of a residential house next to the yard, like paintings.

"Father will also die soon..." Kuro suddenly thought of life.He thought about these questions all the way, from the news he got today until now.The beautiful Milky Way hangs in the night sky, and the water of the Matsuura River at the foot of Mt.

My sister in Iki is going to give birth to a child... It's incredible that a new life is coming into this world.And with the birth of this child, the father will also leave this world, which is also incredible.In this world, no one can live a long life.However, in any era, there are old people and young people.Born and then died, dead and resurrected, there will always be many people in this world.In whose hands is life and death in the end?Is it a god or a Buddha?

Kuro's real name is Tsuruta Mae.The Tsuruta family was originally a wealthy family under the command of Hizen Bodo. Eight years ago, the Luo family invaded the territory of Bodo. Although Bodo fought back vigorously, they were finally defeated.Later, through an agreement between the two parties, Bodo and other defeated wealthy families moved to Iki Island, and Bodo's territory in Hizen was completely occupied by the Luo family.And the Tsuruta family, a powerful family under the command of Hata, also left Hizen for Iki on that day, leaving only myself who was lost in the war and two retainers who were responsible for protecting him.

In order to survive, he and his two retainers resolutely pretended to be ordinary citizens.Then he settled down in a village near Kishidake Castle.He was 14 years old that year.in the family.He is the second son, in front of him is his elder brother Tsuruta Nao, after him is the third brother Tsuruta Katsura, and he has a younger sister.But these have nothing to do with him, because he wants to survive under the leadership of the Luo family.

Fortunately, the two retainers did not abandon him, but instead disguised him as a member of their family, thus allowing him to escape the fate of being identified in the population registration of the Luo family.

So, that's it.Tsuruta lived in fear near Kishidake Castle.Until three years ago, a retainer of the Tsuruta family who sneaked in from Iki Island found him, and then he became a spy lurking in the territory of the Luo family.Regularly responsible for contacting a woman in a yard hundreds of meters away.Then the information provided by the woman was sent to another spy in Tangjin on a regular basis.Tonight, he came to this contact place again, and skillfully picked up the information that recorded the recent movements of the Luo family.However, at this moment, he was meditating again.The imminent death of his father and the imminent birth of his sister's child gave him a lot of thoughts.

In the dark of night, the crickets began to chirp.In his opinion.The incredible blooming of sagera flowers, human beings of all ages and young.Equally elusive.Bodo, Shaoer, Otomo, Ouchi, Roche, they are fighting back and forth, how long will they fight?Just like this year's cicada is different from last year's cicada, although the length of time in the world is different, people and cicadas are the same.Those who are killed leave this world, and those who kill cannot live forever...

Luo Shizhengliang employed people in an eclectic manner. Farmers, townspeople, wanderers, Ming people, and even "ghosts" all became forces in his hands under his ingenious instigation.He is eager to seize the world by force, hates all old things, sits on the throne made of the bones of the nobles of the past, and becomes the new overlord.He couldn't understand Luo Shizhengliang's behavior.The strong in the past must have worn a moral mask and did the same thing.These disguises can often prevent accidents from happening, but Zheng Liang has even thrown away these masks.For his own sake, he instigated the people and unscrupulously made them sacrifice their lives for him.Yes, in his opinion, those village leaders who instill in the villagers to worship Luo Shizhengliang and appreciate the Luo family every day are just inciting the people.

Walking out of Machiko's secret place, the wind gently brushed her face.Is the same wind blowing in Iki, caressing the cool night there?The shadow of his dead mother suddenly appeared in Kuro's mind.When the mother died, the brothers and sisters hugged each other and wept.This kind of situation made him faintly realize the vicissitudes of life.

The mother has passed away, and the rest of the father, elder brother, younger brother, and younger sister are all on the other side of the sea. The whole family can enjoy family happiness together, but why do people always build a high wall with inexplicable reasons to separate them? separate?Why can't relatives get together?From this time on, doubts about the impermanence of the world sprouted in Jiulang's heart.

Just when Jiulang was puzzled, he didn't know that a man was slowly walking in the yard he had been staring at just now.

"Well, this place is not bad." Zheng Liang said to Tai Jiu Ling who came in a hurry after taking a serious tour of the yard.Behind Taijiu Ling is her younger sister Taijiu Ying.

Two years ago, 16-year-old Taijiu Sakura was adopted by Masara as his adopted sister, and then married Yoshida Shigemasa, an important official of the Luo family, as the main wife.After Taijiu Sakura got married, she completely got rid of the character of following Miji to cause trouble everywhere, and soon became a good wife, and now she is even more pregnant, and she is about to become a mother.This time she came to visit her sister Tai Jiuling, and asked her about things to pay attention to after pregnancy.She never expected to meet Zheng Liang here.When she thought of the unscrupulous question why Zheng Liang didn't marry her, she blushed.So he hurriedly greeted Zheng Liang and retired to rest.

"Okay, don't panic, I just came back from Bungo tonight, and I suddenly thought of you before entering the city, so I came to see you." Zheng Liang said to the nervous crowd with a smile, but this sentence was obviously For too long Ling.

Taijiu Ling is really nervous now.Since she settled here, this man has never been to her residence.Now it came suddenly this night, which made her come in a hurry after she had just fallen asleep and got dressed immediately under the service of the maid.At this time, Zheng Liang and his men walked through the yard, and then came to her bedroom.

"Won't you let me go in and have a sit?" Zheng Liang looked at Tai Jiuling's bedroom, then said with a smile.The latter didn't know what to say at all.He could only lead Zheng Liang into her bedroom like a puppet.Two personal maids followed them in.Zhengliang's guards were standing outside the bedroom.

"Sit. Is the situation in the commercial house okay?" After sitting down on the floor casually.Zhengliang asked directly.

After Taijiu Ling knelt carefully in front of Zhengliang, he said: "The monthly profit is not bad, and the specific accounts have been given to several wives. There is also a set of the same account books at home. If you want to check it , the little lady asked someone to fetch it immediately."

"No need." Zheng Liang said directly, "Do you still remember your elder sister?"

"Eldest sister?" Tai Jiuling was taken aback by Zheng Liang's sudden question.She does have a sister.And there are still two.One is her second sister, and it was Zheng Liang who rescued her second sister and her second sister's daughter from Ishida's home.Now she has settled her second sister, mother and daughter in Dangjin, and they are living peacefully now.As for the eldest sister, she lost contact with her a long time ago.So when Zheng Liang asked about her older sister, she subconsciously thought that Zheng Liang was asking about her second sister.But why did he ask about her second sister?Doesn't he like that he made his second sister the host of Tangjin Commercial House?

"Perhaps you don't even know? Your elder sister is in Iki right now." Zheng Liang glanced at Taijiu Ling.continued.

"What? Eldest sister is in Iki?" Taijiu Ling couldn't help screaming when he suddenly got the whereabouts of his long-lost elder sister.In other words, she was very pleasantly surprised at this time, after all, she got the whereabouts of her relatives.

"Do you still remember last year when I was ambushed by the coalition forces of Otomo's and Ouchi's families in Chikugo?" Just when Taijiu Ling was about to continue asking Zheng Liang about her eldest sister, Zheng Liang talked about other topics.

"Do you know why my whereabouts were known by the enemy at the beginning?" Zheng Liang said with a smile on his face: "Is that because I have the other party's secret work by my side?"

"Careful work?" Tai Jiuling couldn't help but tremble in his heart.She knows this man too well, he will never say these things in front of you for no reason, and he will come to you and say these things at a time when everyone is about to fall asleep.Could it be that he doubted himself?But I really didn't betray him!Thinking of this, Tai Jiuling couldn't help but feel a block in his heart, and tears poured out of his eyes involuntarily.

"What are you thinking? Idiot!" Seeing the woman in front of him suddenly start crying, Zheng Liang immediately knew that she had misunderstood him.So he stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms.Then said.

Taijiu Ling was frightened by Zheng Liang's sudden movement and stiffened immediately.

However, Zheng Liang continued to hug her regardless, and continued: "I'm talking about your eldest sister, she told the Ouchi family about my whereabouts, and then the Ouchi family told the Ouchi family about my whereabouts. Really almost killed me! Hehe!" Thinking that he almost died at the hands of a woman, Zheng Liang couldn't help laughing at himself.Really don't underestimate women in the world.I thought that the woman would calm down after escaping to Iki, but I didn't expect her to be restless at all.

"Eldest sister?" Taijiu Ling couldn't care less about her flirtatious gesture with Zheng Liang at this time, and was shocked instead.Didn't the man just say that her eldest sister is in Iki across the sea?Why did he suddenly appear next to Zheng Liang?Is she already back?Then why don't you come and recognize yourself?

"Don't think too much." Zhengliang patted her beautiful buttocks lightly with his right hand, and then continued: "You still don't know the identity of your eldest sister? She is the main wife of Bodo? At this time, she is still in control of Iki Bodo on the island, the current governor of Bodo is her son."

"Huh?" Taijiu Ling was completely shocked.All along, she didn't know that her eldest sister was married there by her ruthless father.At that time, she was still young, and all she knew was that before her elder sister got married, her mother hugged her elder sister and cried all night.Since her eldest sister got married, she has never seen her eldest sister again. She only heard from her father that she had gone to a far away place, so she could not come back to visit them.Now he suddenly learned that she had married to Bodo in the same country.It's just why she didn't come back to visit the two families so close to each other?Is there something going on in between?For a moment, Tai Jiuling thought of many questions.

"Your elder sister is really a difficult opponent, she almost killed me. What's even more rare. She sent someone to find you early in the morning. It's just that she didn't send someone to recognize you. On the contrary I found someone close to you, and let her become the spy who monitors the situation of the family. Don’t you think so? Orange!” After saying this, Zheng Liang looked at a maid who was already pale.

"Juzi?" Taijiu Ling screamed, and then suddenly sat up beside Zhengliang, looking at the maid Juzi who was already kneeling on the ground trembling with a look of surprise.

The two maids in the room in front of her, including Juzi, were from the maids who had been with her since she was a child. When she lost her husband and son, life was almost meaningless.It was these two maids who had been by her side to take care of her.Now Zhengliang suddenly told her that Juzi was the informer.He couldn't believe it.But after thinking about it, it seems to make sense.

Yes, since I can go in and out of the backyard of Luo's family, and even participate in some decision-making and evaluation meetings of Luo's family, the oranges around me will indeed have many opportunities to observe Zhengliang's actions up close.However, no matter what, she couldn't believe that Juzi was the secret agent.So she hugged Zheng Liang's neck suddenly, crying out:

"No, my lord. No, the orange is not an elaboration. Absolutely not." She almost lost control of her panic.

"Okay, okay. I don't need to say any more. Orange, I know that you have to become a spy because your family is under control. Next, as long as you do what I say, I promise you You and your family will be fine." Zheng Liang said to the still trembling Ju Zi while comforting Tai Jiu Ling.Zhengliang is going to use counter-indirect tactics to let Juzi pretend not to be found, and then pass some wrong information.Zheng Liang from later generations is very familiar with this set.

After calming down for too long, and then teaching Juzi some tricks against intrigue, Zheng Liang asked his subordinates to take Juzi and another maid who was stunned by what happened suddenly.How to arrange it next depends on the intelligence cabinet.

"Okay. Don't worry, your two maids will be fine. Next, I will talk about your affairs." Zheng Liang wiped the tears on Tai Jiuling's face lightly, and then said.

It was only at this time that Tai Jiuling realized that his posture with this man was very inappropriate, his face blushed, and he planned to sit up again, but found that he was already hugged tightly by this man.

"Take your two maids and move to the backyard of the city tomorrow." Zheng Liang raised Taijiu's jade-like chin with his right hand, so that her black green eyes faced him, and then said.

After listening to Zheng Liang's words, Tai Jiuling's head shook again with a "boom".

Yes, she has always loved and hated this man.This man is her husband-killing enemy (even her son-killing enemy, but Tai Jiuling doesn't know about it).She has always been ambivalent about her feelings for this man.It's just that when she lost her husband, lost her son, and almost lost the meaning of living, she suddenly discovered that this man had become the spiritual pillar for her to survive.

She herself didn't know when this man occupied her heart.Maybe it was when her husband offered her to this man as a hostage, maybe when she was ready to dedicate herself to this man in exchange for his husband's revenge, or maybe it was when she faced her own beauty. When she fell in love with this man but was unmoved... In short, she fell in love with this man unknowingly.

In the Warring States period, for women, love was a luxury, some were only political tools, and some were only submissive.But she, who had already died once, no longer cared about these things.In order to get closer to this man, she resolutely rejected his offer to arrange her to settle down in a beautiful place.

Then choose to follow in his footsteps.He even resolutely asked him to allow him to run a commercial house in order to get close to him.For a woman, in such an era when men are respected, she runs a business house that only men do.How many hardships did you have to go through during this period?But she endured it in silence.Just to have a chance to get close to him.She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she seemed to be possessed anyway.

She even selfishly thought about finding a chance to have a one-night relationship with him, and then praying that she could conceive a child because of it.Then she quietly left alone, waiting for the child to be born, and she raised the child alone, no matter male or female, as long as he (she) grows up, he or she will inherit the surname of the Taijiu family and let the blood of the Taijiu family continue.And her feelings for this man followed her body into the soil.

Now this man told her personally that letting her move into the backyard of the lord's mansion in Anyue Mountain City was obviously equivalent to giving her a title, and this man also admitted himself positively.Thinking of the women who went to this man's backyard every time in the past, her heart couldn't help but feel sad.Now she finally got what she wanted, so her disappointing tears flowed down again.

Of course, Zheng Liang had already noticed this stupid woman's thoughts, but he also knew that this stupid woman came from a stubborn woman, so if he pointed it out directly, it might cause the stupid woman to disappear without a trace, so Zheng Liang never pointed out this. a relationship.

But after the intelligence cabinet informed him of the situation of her maid, he knew that this could not go on like this. Both this woman and the business house under this woman were extremely important to Zheng Liang, so Zheng Liang was in charge of Bungo After a period of time, when the overall situation has been completely stabilized, he rushed back to Hizen's residence, and then directly cut the mess with a sharp knife on the evening of his arrival.Of course, due to the distance, Zhengliang didn't know at this time that several guests from Kyoto, accompanied by Shenglong Shengyi, the father of Luo's family, had already started their journey to Hizen country.
