Chapter 2 King Kong Dance
When Yataro arrived, Junjing was about to break through Usami's resistance.Junjing's martial arts were superb, he stabbed left and right with a long spear, and the soldiers blocking him in front of him and on the left and right fell to the ground one after another.He was invincible, and the warriors behind him also exerted amazing killing power. The group of people was like an armored army, rushing forward like a broken bamboo.
"Surround them! Don't let one go!"
Usami dispatches people.The elite troops he trained by himself immediately swarmed up and surrounded Junjing and the others, but Junjing still led his men to fight unceasingly like a giant rock standing upright in the raging waves.Their figures flickered in and out of Usami's encirclement, like black rocks that still stood unchanged after the fine foam left by the big waves receded.
Seeing that he was about to run away, Yataro came just in time.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" He rushed straight into Usami's army and shouted loudly: "Kihei Erkei Torano's general, Kojima Yataro, see His Excellency Heirakuro Toshikei!"
Junjing knows Yataro.He reined in the horse and smiled slightly: "Long time no see! Yataro."
His attitude and tone have the arrogance and kindness of a master to a servant.The honest Yataro was stunned for a moment, and replied unconsciously: "Yes!" He also reined in the horse, his fighting spirit was exhausted, and he even forgot why he came here.
"Health is more gratifying than anything else, goodbye!"
Junjing smiled again, put his feet on the horse's body, and prepared to flee.
Only then did Yataro come back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Ah! Wait! Wait!"
He whipped his horse forward and chased after him, but Junjing's horsemen blocked him with their spears, "Let me take over!"
Yataro was very angry, "Simply!" He raised his gun and stabbed, and the opponent sideways dodged.Yataro took advantage of his dodging and wanted to get away to chase Junjing, but the other party followed immediately and kept fighting. Seeing this, the other two also surrounded him.Yataro fought angrily, at this moment, Matsue arrived.
"Leave these pustules to me, and you go after the general!"
As she said that, she swung her big knife like a waterwheel, parried away the spear point of the opponent, and then slashed off his right shoulder with a knife, blood spattered, the man fell from the horse, and the horse galloped away.
Without looking back, Matsue rushed towards the warrior who was clinging to Yataro, wielding a long-handled sword.Where the blade landed, it almost cut the warrior's face, and he bent over to dodge.
"I leave it to you!"
Yataro was about to chase again, but another person entangled him.But the warrior's horse's leg was chopped off by Song Jiang, and he and his horse rolled to the ground.At this time, Yataro had already got rid of the fight and ran straight forward, "Come back! You don't want to escape!"
While shouting and chasing, he simply raised his spear and stabbed forward vigorously. The tip of the spear was swung away by Junjing, but it hit the horse's tail and spine, and Junjing's horse jumped up in surprise.
Junjing scolded angrily: "What a disrespectful thing!" He swung his knife and slashed down violently.
Although Junjing's cavalry arrived, Junjing and Yataro were fighting fiercely, and no one else could intervene.Usami concentrated his troops and ordered: "Prevent other enemy troops from approaching Yataro!"
Songjiang also rushed over, "I've killed three of them without breaking a sweat! This is all that's left now!"
She wielded a big knife and also attacked Junjing.
Yataro became a little annoyed, "Get out of the way, this is mine!"
Junjing is really not to be underestimated. Even in the face of the brave Yataro and his wife, he is not afraid, and calmly dodges left and right on the horse, attacking and defending freely.Yataro and Matsue also cooperated well. When Yataro was in danger, Matsue rescued him, and when Matsue was in trouble, Yataro rescued her. The two cooperated seamlessly.
In the falling snow, the three horsemen and horses fighting in a group fought fiercely. Soon, Songjiang's sword took advantage of the gap to cut at Junjing's horse's neck, and the horse jumped straight up like a screen, and Junjing fell down.Junjing struggled to get up, but the tip of Yataro's spear had already penetrated his body mercilessly.
"Annoying!"
Junjing swung his knife and cut off Songjiang's horse's leg, and Songjiang fell from the horse like a ball.
But this was just the last resistance of Jun Jing, and Yataro's gun pierced his back, nailing him firmly to the ground.At this time, there were loud shouts all around, and Usami's subordinates rushed from all directions. Songjiang had already jumped up and hugged Junjing's body, "We shot this, what are you fighting for?!" Pulled out the knife at his waist, neatly Cut off Junjing's head.
Success again. Jinghu advocates taking advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Sanjo in one fell swoop, and kill Kuroda, Jinjin and others. Usami also agrees, but Qingjing disagrees. "The chief culprit, Jun Jing, is dead. Those minions will disperse even if they ignore them. Who will help Hei Tian and Jin Jin? If we continue to pursue them, not only will it be useless, but we will encounter fierce resistance. Why bother? It is also." He summoned all the generals and ordered them to return to their territory after awarding the certificates of military exploits. He himself hurried back to Chunri Mountain. Usami said to Jinghu: "This battle was won because of your good command, Qing Jinggong felt jealous. In fact, no matter who contributed the most, as long as the victory is won, the credit belongs to the general alone. This is common sense in war. Your victory is no different from his victory. Unfortunately, he is too narrow-minded. Maybe he is missing Fujishi and others who are still in Kasuga Mountain. I think you have to be patient for a while. Waiting for luck is also a must-have experience for generals! " After all, Usami also withdrew to Biwa Island, but just in case, he left most of his soldiers to help Jinghu defend the city. Soon, Tochio Castle was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Yataro and his wife and Nanami Tatsuzo received the biggest rewards. Jinghu said to Yataro and his wife: "You and your wife worked together to take down Junjing's head. You have made great contributions. I really want to reward you with one or two thousand guan. Unfortunately, I have no territory. One day, I will make up for it." You deserve this credit. Now, I can only express my heart, so please accept it!" As he spoke, he gave them swords and armor respectively. Jinghu said to Nami Tatsuzo again: "The battle of the rear city gate can be achieved by you killing Matsuo Hachirobei. Because we won the other side, we can save the siege of the main city gate in time. The victory in this battle is all thanks to you. I can’t fully express your contribution in words. However, I can’t fully repay you with material things. However, from today onwards, I will promote you to be a warrior and serve as my horseback. Give you another big knife and a set of armor!" Nami Tatsuzo was nineteen years old at the time, and he was originally a peasant boy from Sinami Village, Panfune County. Because he wanted to be a samurai, he enlisted when Jing Hu was recruiting soldiers a while ago.He was only wearing protective clothing and straw sandals, and his legs were bare. He took the gift from Jing Hu, stepped back two or three steps, and suddenly remembered something, put on the battle helmet he had just received, and held the armor in his left hand. With a knife in his right hand, he got up and sang and danced. His voice was like a bell, and he couldn't help dancing his hands and feet, his burly physique was like a vajra warrior.Everyone laughed loudly and clapped their hands together to add to the fun. Jing Hu also found it interesting, and followed the crowd to beat the time.When Chen Zang danced and was about to retreat, Jing Hu called him to stop. "What do the last two lines of the lyrics you just sang mean? Why haven't I heard them?" "That's the local dialect of Panchuan County, which means 'this is it'." "Oh—it's quite interesting." Jing Hu smiled, "By the way, I should give you a name, Nami Tatsuzo sounds like a man, no, you will be called Tetsu Uenosuke from now on, I think You are like a King Kong made of iron, you use iron as your surname, which is quite suitable! Iron Uenosuke, sounds like a hero, don't insult this name!" Everyone immediately echoed: "Good name!" "I'm so envious!" Chen Zang lay flat on the ground, the back of his hands were wet with big teardrops.
The snow was getting deeper, making it impossible to use troops, but Akita Hitachi, who had just entered Sanjo Castle, still strengthened his defense. Soon, spring came, and although it was time to use the army, the Dai Nagano of the Kanshuji Temple in Kyoto sent a letter to Uesugi Sadami in the mansion, saying that he would come to Empress as the emperor's envoy.Book cloud: "I heard that Echigo was in chaos for a few years, and there was no peace for several years. The Lord was very worried. I specially wrote the Prajna Heart Sutra as a gift. I pray that the civil strife can be quelled, and the people are safe and peaceful!" This axis of imperial scriptures is now housed in the History Museum of Yonezawa Uesugi Shrine. The gold lettering on the blue paper is very gorgeous. In fact, the emperor's imperial pen bestowed books, which was the imperial court's forced sales.At that time, the imperial family was extremely weak, and it was rumored that Emperor Go Nara had to sell calligraphy and paintings to make a living. These records were also scattered in the emperor's diary "Go Nara-in Temple Records" and "Old Man Miscellaneous Talk".At that time, if someone wanted to ask for imperial calligraphy and painting, he would put a considerable amount of money on colored paper or rice paper and put it in the corridor of the palace.However, "Hou Narain Temple" also wrote that due to the meager salary of the emperor, a certain prince often hid in the palace garden and stole those fountain pens, and the emperor himself did not get much. The Prajna Heart Sutra given by the emperor this time is of course a gift of thanks, and no one can refuse it.Although the royal family is in decline, most people still have deep-rooted religious worship concepts for the royal family, especially in remote areas.In addition, Uesugi and Haruki both felt that this matter was of great use value, and they wanted to use this matter to subdue the hearts of the disintegrated wealthy families in the country. Therefore, both Dingshi and Qingjing replied to the Da Nayan of the Quanxiu Temple: "I respectfully welcome the Heart Sutra bestowed by the Emperor!" At the same time, they issued an announcement to the same family and wealthy families in the country: "The domestic army is full of disasters, and the people are dying. Today, I am very worried. I will give you a scroll of the Heart Sutra, to pray for the safety of the country. If the generals are sincere, they will gather within the same day to welcome the Heart Sutra!" Although the people at that time were cunning, greedy, and violent, they were still naive. As soon as they received the notice, they not only immediately prepared to welcome the Yuci Heart Sutra, but also suspended all disputes.If the battle is endless, it would be too disrespectful to the envoy. Da Nayan of Quanxiu Temple arrived on April 20th, with a total of 30 people up and down.Da Nayan is dressed in a formal dress and a black gauze hat. He rides first on horseback, his followers wear hunting clothes and black hats, and his servants wear white shirts. The scriptures are stored in a white wooden Tang cabinet, and they are carried by eight servants on a shoulder sedan. . Dingshi and Qingjing wore great dresses and led a wealthy family to greet them outside Chunri Mountain City.
The emperor bestowed the Prajna Heart Sutra and sent envoys to the countryside, which is extremely beneficial to Kasugayama's Nagao family's position.Everyone is sincere and fearful, because of domestic turmoil and disturbing heaven and earth.Kasugayama's Nagao family didn't want to miss this opportunity, they received the imperial envoy to persuade the temple's Da Nayan carefully, and in addition to presenting generous gifts, they also sent envoys to Beijing to thank the emperor with countless tributes, and begged for the death of the domestic rebels. decree. At the end of summer, the messenger came back after receiving the imperial decree.Qingjing was overjoyed, and the author copied several copies and distributed them to the domestic heroes. His move was extremely effective, and the powerful families who had always joined his side became more united, and many who waited and watched the situation in the past and wavered in their positions also spontaneously surrendered. Although Qingjing was happy with this reaction, he was lazy by nature and didn't intend to take advantage of this opportunity to try his best. He still procrastinated and procrastinated: "Let's talk when the situation is more favorable! Now our luck is gradually improving, it's nothing So urgent!" Jinghu was anxious in Tochio.Three of the enemy's bases are only five miles away from Tochio.Akita Hitachi and others will not stand idly by Kasugayama's movement, he is still constantly consolidating or inviting himself to join the powerful family with interests, and his power is steadily expanding. Jing Hu repeatedly sent people to send letters to Qing Jing, saying: "The situation is getting more and more negligent. If we don't attack early, we may be in great trouble!" But Qingjing didn't listen at all, he insisted: "The longer the time, the better for us, what's the rush at this time?!" Jing Hu refused, and tried to persuade him again. Qing Jing simply told him: "Since you want to fight so much, you can fight with your own hands! You must be very confident that you started the war without my permission last time! But I won’t stand for you anymore, you’d better be prepared for it.” Jing Hu had already apologized for what happened last time, and he also expressed his understanding, but now Qingjing brings up the old matter again, and there is a feeling of hatred in his tone, Jing Hu is naturally furious. "He seems to want me to be killed by the traitor. It's really unreasonable. I'll just go and convince him myself!" So, he left Tochio again, but he still made some special arrangements before leaving.He was afraid that the Sanjo side would take action when they knew he was away, so he ordered Honjo Keishiu, Jinjin Xinbingwei and others to be very careful not to let the Sanjo side know that he was not there, and not to provoke them, so as not to cause trouble.He himself dressed up as a wandering monk again, and set off with only Yataro Oni Kojima and Tetsu Uenosuke. Yataro and Matsue are newlyweds and say goodbye, so they are naturally divorced.Songjiang has never been pretentious, she generously praised her husband-in-law in front of everyone: "You alone can be worth thousands of horses, Master Hu really has vision!" It’s nothing more than flattering her family like this, but she didn’t expect her face to change suddenly, and she grabbed Yataro’s front and said, “You can’t see me on this road, and you can’t be tempted by other beautiful women! You have to always think about it. Me, you know? I will always miss you too!" Then, she turned to Jing Hu again: "Master Hu, you have to keep an eye on him for me, and tell me what he has done when he comes back, and you can't miss anything." Yataro couldn't hold back his face, and shouted: "Enough! Just say stupid things!" Songjiang yelled back not to be outdone: "Who said it was stupid?! It's the most important thing!" Everyone laughed. Autumn is in full swing, and the three of them set off quietly in the days when the mountain miscanthus was turning white.
Jinghu originally planned to go straight to Mount Kasuga, but on the way, thinking that he should listen to Usami's opinion, he made a detour to Kashiwazaki.He stayed overnight on the way, and arrived at Pipa Island just after noon the next day. Usami personally went to the city gate to greet her: "What a rare visitor! Welcome, welcome." Although he was surprised, he still looked calm as usual.Perhaps it was from the expression of Master Jing Hu that nothing serious happened. After greeting Yataro, he only looked at Uenosuke with a smile, and then turned to Jinghu, as if he wanted Jinghu to introduce him. Jinghu immediately introduced: "His name is Tetsu Uenosuke, and his original name was Nami Tatsuzo. After the battle last summer, I changed his name for him and promoted him to a samurai." Usami smiled and said: "I remember, you were the one who killed Matsuo Hachirobei. It's a good name. You are so young and have such a good reputation. It's really enviable." "The general is so praised, I am really happy, and I will do my best in the future. I have vowed to be a warrior since I was a child, and now I can say that I have no regrets in my death." The tone of his common people does not match the heroic name of Tie Uenosuke, but he is very sincere. "Very good! I hope you will never forget this intention in your life, and be an outstanding warrior!" Usami accompanies Jinghu through Akamatsu Road, which is leisurely in Qiuyang, and enters Honmaru. After Jinghu entered the guest hall and changed his clothes, Usami asked the reason for this trip. "What else will happen? Words were passed around, and I didn't understand what he meant, so I simply went to clarify myself. After leaving the city, I thought I should come to hear your opinion, so I detoured here halfway." Jing Hu got angry when he mentioned this matter, but he still suppressed his excitement and finished speaking. Usami tugged at her sparse beard, and after listening silently, she said with a smile, "Don't waste your efforts in vain, go back to Tochio!" "what?" "You don't have to be so angry. I told you when Lord Qingjing returned to Chunri Mountain after the last battle, he was jealous of you..." "etc!" Jing Hu stopped him from speaking.Jing Hu only thought that Qing Jing might hate him, but he didn't want others to say that about him. "You have to figure it out, Lord Qingjing and I are the only remaining brothers in the Nagao family." Usami nodded slightly, still smiling and said: "I'm jealous just because I'm a brother. If it's an outsider, no matter how good your martial arts are, you won't threaten his status, but now you are his only younger brother, and you are so wise and brave." , the views of the wealthy families and retainers in the country have naturally changed, he can't help but mind, don't you think so?" This sounded too sensational, Jing Hu shook his head, "I don't think so, the elder brother is a meek person, I think he just recovered the previous one because he received the Imperial Brush Prajna Heart Sutra and imperial decree, and saw that our franchisees increased. It's just laziness." It was very painful for Jing Hu to say that, because he didn't have confidence in himself when he said the words. "You're right. Mr. Qingjing is very lazy, but I believe that my opinion is absolutely right. If you go, it will be a waste of time. Not only is it a waste of time, but it may also cause serious damage to your family." Irreparable regret. I hope you will dispel this intention. In the past, to Lord Qingjing, you were just a young child, but now you are a young and rare outstanding general. For the sake of the future, he may first Take action, therefore, I sincerely hope that you will stop thinking about going to Kasuga Hill." Usami's steady tone gradually became agitated.Finally, Jinghu followed his advice and prepared to return to Tochio the next day. On the same day, they stayed in Pipa City.In the evening, Jing Hu strolled in the yard in a depressed mood, and unknowingly walked outside the courtyard where Naomi lived. This place was no different from when he was learning the art of war in the city. The white walls remained the same, the mossy paths remained the same, and the clusters of maple-red trees remained the same as before.At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of the spinning wheel coming from the white wall again. He felt a heat in his heart, and he felt infinite nostalgia. He really wanted to go around the white wall and go in, but he didn't know if it was because of shyness, he hesitated to move. "How to do it?" He looked at the light red evening sky exposed among the maple trees, and thought about it, when he suddenly saw Tie Uenosuke running over from the other side of the forest and kneeling on the ground. "What's the matter?" he asked. Uenosuke looked around, "It's not appropriate to speak here." "Come with me!" Jing Hu led him to the small hill and sat down on the rock, "It's fine here, just tell me!" Uenosuke knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "It's about Mr. Haruki Kasuga. I heard some outrageous things." "Who did you hear that from?" "It's at the samurai standby station in the city. I just heard about it. I find it hard to tell. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it." "you say!" "I heard that during the last war, Lord Qingjing brought a servant with him, and he doted on the servant's elder sister. What's her name? By the way, her name is Fujizi. They said that the woman Fujizi He was born in the nobles of Kyoto, beautiful as a flower, but with a heart like a snake and a scorpion, always instigating the lord to do bad things, this... is really hard to say, I don't know if I should go on..." Jinghu was sulking, Uenosuke hadn't gotten to the point after talking for a long time, he was still impatient and waited patiently for him to speak. "They said that once Lord Qingjing took her on a mountain tour, a commoner who was kneeling by the road suddenly raised his head and happened to meet her eyes, and she said to Lord Qingjing, "This commoner looked at me lewdly and smiled. .' Qingjinggong was furious, and asked someone to goug out the eyes of the commoner. Also, she saw that others were just a little negligent, so she asked Qingjinggong to tie him to a post as an arrow target; in addition, she saw When there is a woman who leads a horse to wash by the river, I encourage Lord Qingjing to catch that woman, strip her naked and ride on the horse..." "enough!" Jing Hu stopped loudly.He stood up abruptly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his heart throbbed non-stop.There seemed to be some kind of unknown strange thing in the air around him, making it difficult for him to breathe.He shrank his toes, circled around a few times, and finally calmed down. Uenosuke was still kneeling on the ground uneasily. "Don't mention this to anyone!" "yes." "Remember not to talk nonsense." "The subordinates dare not, but many people know about it, and I am afraid it will spread soon!" "Don't say it out of your mouth, you know?!" Jing Hu snapped. "yes."
Jing Hu walked down the hill by himself.Hearing Uenosuke's words, he felt a tightness in his chest and really wanted to do evil.Although those things are unbelievable, they are not like lying. Judging from Qingjing's doting on Genzaburo, it is not difficult to imagine how much he is infatuated with Fujishi. At dinner, he drank with Usami. "Good wine! Give me some more!" He drank a lot. Usami said in surprise: "I didn't know you could drink so much!" "I don't know either!" Jing Hu replied without a smile, "However, after drinking, I do feel better." After the meal, he returned to the guest room, feeling depressed again, got up several times and walked outside to the corridor to spit. The bright moon was in the sky, and the saliva shone white in the ice-like snow-white moonlight. He suddenly cursed: "Woman!" He felt the existence of the woman in the inexplicable chaos in his heart, standing on the porch, he stared coldly at the moonlit night sky.He seemed to see a woman standing at the end of the moonlight. It was just the image of a woman, not a specific person. "Woman! Dirty things! Demons!" He cursed again, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the melodious flute sound, drifting across the night sky, lingering in his ears.
Success again. Jinghu advocates taking advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Sanjo in one fell swoop, and kill Kuroda, Jinjin and others. Usami also agrees, but Qingjing disagrees. "The chief culprit, Jun Jing, is dead. Those minions will disperse even if they ignore them. Who will help Hei Tian and Jin Jin? If we continue to pursue them, not only will it be useless, but we will encounter fierce resistance. Why bother? It is also." He summoned all the generals and ordered them to return to their territory after awarding the certificates of military exploits. He himself hurried back to Chunri Mountain. Usami said to Jinghu: "This battle was won because of your good command, Qing Jinggong felt jealous. In fact, no matter who contributed the most, as long as the victory is won, the credit belongs to the general alone. This is common sense in war. Your victory is no different from his victory. Unfortunately, he is too narrow-minded. Maybe he is missing Fujishi and others who are still in Kasuga Mountain. I think you have to be patient for a while. Waiting for luck is also a must-have experience for generals! " After all, Usami also withdrew to Biwa Island, but just in case, he left most of his soldiers to help Jinghu defend the city. Soon, Tochio Castle was rewarded for meritorious deeds, and Yataro and his wife and Nanami Tatsuzo received the biggest rewards. Jinghu said to Yataro and his wife: "You and your wife worked together to take down Junjing's head. You have made great contributions. I really want to reward you with one or two thousand guan. Unfortunately, I have no territory. One day, I will make up for it." You deserve this credit. Now, I can only express my heart, so please accept it!" As he spoke, he gave them swords and armor respectively. Jinghu said to Nami Tatsuzo again: "The battle of the rear city gate can be achieved by you killing Matsuo Hachirobei. Because we won the other side, we can save the siege of the main city gate in time. The victory in this battle is all thanks to you. I can’t fully express your contribution in words. However, I can’t fully repay you with material things. However, from today onwards, I will promote you to be a warrior and serve as my horseback. Give you another big knife and a set of armor!" Nami Tatsuzo was nineteen years old at the time, and he was originally a peasant boy from Sinami Village, Panfune County. Because he wanted to be a samurai, he enlisted when Jing Hu was recruiting soldiers a while ago.He was only wearing protective clothing and straw sandals, and his legs were bare.

Jing Hu smiled, "By the way, I should give you a name, Nami Tatsuzo sounds like a man, no, you will be called Tetsu Uenosuke from now on, I think You are like a King Kong made of iron, you use iron as your surname, which is quite suitable! Iron Uenosuke, sounds like a hero, don't insult this name!" Everyone immediately echoed: "Good name!" "I'm so envious!" Chen Zang lay flat on the ground, the back of his hands were wet with big teardrops.
The snow was getting deeper, making it impossible to use troops, but Akita Hitachi, who had just entered Sanjo Castle, still strengthened his defense.

So, he left Tochio again, but he still made some special arrangements before leaving.He was afraid that the Sanjo side would take action when they knew he was away, so he ordered Honjo Keishiu, Jinjin Xinbingwei and others to be very careful not to let the Sanjo side know that he was not there, and not to provoke them, so as not to cause trouble.He himself dressed up as a wandering monk again, and set off with only Yataro Oni Kojima and Tetsu Uenosuke. Yataro and Matsue are newlyweds and say goodbye, so they are naturally divorced.Songjiang has never been pretentious, she generously praised her husband-in-law in front of everyone: "You alone can be worth thousands of horses, Master Hu really has vision!" It’s nothing more than flattering her family like this, but she didn’t expect her face to change suddenly, and she grabbed Yataro’s front and said, “You can’t see me on this road, and you can’t be tempted by other beautiful women! You have to always think about it. Me, you know? I will always miss you too!" Then, she turned to Jing Hu again: "Master Hu, you have to keep an eye on him for me, and tell me what he has done when he comes back, and you can't miss anything." Yataro couldn't hold back his face, and shouted: "Enough! Just say stupid things!" Songjiang yelled back not to be outdone: "Who said it was stupid?! It's the most important thing!" Everyone laughed. Autumn is in full swing, and the three of them set off quietly in the days when the mountain miscanthus was turning white.
Jinghu originally planned to go straight to Mount Kasuga, but on the way, thinking that he should listen to Usami's opinion, he made a detour to Kashiwazaki.He stayed overnight on the way, and arrived at Pipa Island just after noon the next day. Usami personally went to the city gate to greet her: "What a rare visitor! Welcome, welcome." Although he was surprised, he still looked calm as usual.Perhaps it was from the expression of Master Jing Hu that nothing serious happened. After greeting Yataro, he only looked at Uenosuke with a smile, and then turned to Jinghu, as if he wanted Jinghu to introduce him. Jinghu immediately introduced: "His name is Tetsu Uenosuke, and his original name was Nami Tatsuzo. After the battle last summer, I changed his name for him and promoted him to a samurai." Usami smiled and said: "I remember, you were the one who killed Matsuo Hachirobei. It's a good name. You are so young and have such a good reputation. It's really enviable." "The general is so praised, I am really happy, and I will do my best in the future. I have vowed to be a warrior since I was a child, and now I can say that I have no regrets in my death." The tone of his common people does not match the heroic name of Tie Uenosuke, but he is very sincere. "Very good! I hope you will never forget this intention in your life, and be an outstanding warrior!" Usami accompanies Jinghu through Akamatsu Road, which is leisurely in Qiuyang, and enters Honmaru. After Jinghu entered the guest hall and changed his clothes, Usami asked the reason for this trip. "What else will happen? Words were passed around, and I didn't understand what he meant, so I simply went to clarify myself. After leaving the city, I thought I should come to hear your opinion, so I detoured here halfway." Jing Hu got angry when he mentioned this matter, but he still suppressed his excitement and finished speaking. Usami tugged at her sparse beard, and after listening silently, she said with a smile, "Don't waste your efforts in vain, go back to Tochio!" "what?" "You don't have to be so angry. I told you when Lord Qingjing returned to Chunri Mountain after the last battle, he was jealous of you..." "etc!" Jing Hu stopped him from speaking.Jing Hu only thought that Qing Jing might hate him, but he didn't want others to say that about him. "You have to figure it out, Lord Qingjing and I are the only remaining brothers in the Nagao family." Usami nodded slightly, still smiling and said: "I'm jealous just because I'm a brother. If it's an outsider, no matter how good your martial arts are, you won't threaten his status, but now you are his only younger brother, and you are so wise and brave." , the views of the wealthy families and retainers in the country have naturally changed, he can't help but mind, don't you think so?" This sounded too sensational, Jing Hu shook his head, "I don't think so, the elder brother is a meek person, I think he just recovered the previous one because he received the Imperial Brush Prajna Heart Sutra and imperial decree, and saw that our franchisees increased. It's just laziness." It was very painful for Jing Hu to say that, because he didn't have confidence in himself when he said the words. "You're right. Mr. Qingjing is very lazy, but I believe that my opinion is absolutely right. If you go, it will be a waste of time. Not only is it a waste of time, but it may also cause serious damage to your family." Irreparable regret. I hope you will dispel this intention. In the past, to Lord Qingjing, you were just a young child, but now you are a young and rare outstanding general. For the sake of the future, he may first Take action, therefore, I sincerely hope that you will stop thinking about going to Kasuga Hill." Usami's steady tone gradually became agitated.Finally, Jinghu followed his advice and prepared to return to Tochio the next day. On the same day, they stayed in Pipa City.In the evening, Jing Hu strolled in the yard in a depressed mood, and unknowingly walked outside the courtyard where Naomi lived. This place was no different from when he was learning the art of war in the city. The white walls remained the same, the mossy paths remained the same, and the clusters of maple-red trees remained the same as before.At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of the spinning wheel coming from the white wall again. He felt a heat in his heart, and he felt infinite nostalgia. He really wanted to go around the white wall and go in, but he didn't know if it was because of shyness, he hesitated to move. "How to do it?" He looked at the light red evening sky exposed among the maple trees, and thought about it, when he suddenly saw Tie Uenosuke running over from the other side of the forest and kneeling on the ground. "What's the matter?" he asked. Uenosuke looked around, "It's not appropriate to speak here." "Come with me!" Jing Hu led him to the small hill and sat down on the rock, "It's fine here, just tell me!" Uenosuke knelt on the ground and said in a low voice, "It's about Mr. Haruki Kasuga. I heard some outrageous things." "Who did you hear that from?" "It's at the samurai standby station in the city. I just heard about it. I find it hard to tell. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it." "you say!" "I heard that during the last war, Lord Qingjing brought a servant with him, and he doted on the servant's elder sister. What's her name? By the way, her name is Fujizi. They said that the woman Fujizi He was born in the nobles of Kyoto, beautiful as a flower, but with a heart like a snake and a scorpion, always instigating the lord to do bad things, this... is really hard to say, I don't know if I should go on..." Jinghu was sulking, Uenosuke hadn't gotten to the point after talking for a long time, he was still impatient and waited patiently for him to speak. "They said that once Lord Qingjing took her on a mountain tour, a commoner who was kneeling by the road suddenly raised his head and happened to meet her eyes, and she said to Lord Qingjing, "This commoner looked at me lewdly and smiled. .' Qingjinggong was furious, and asked someone to goug out the eyes of the commoner. Also, she saw that others were just a little negligent, so she asked Qingjinggong to tie him to a post as an arrow target; in addition, she saw When there is a woman who leads a horse to wash by the river, I encourage Lord Qingjing to catch that woman, strip her naked and ride on the horse..." "enough!" Jing Hu stopped loudly.He stood up abruptly, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his heart throbbed non-stop.There seemed to be some kind of unknown strange thing in the air around him, making it difficult for him to breathe.He shrank his toes, circled around a few times, and finally calmed down. Uenosuke was still kneeling on the ground uneasily. "Don't mention this to anyone!" "yes." "Remember not to talk nonsense." "The subordinates dare not, but many people know about it, and I am afraid it will spread soon!" "Don't say it out of your mouth, you know?!" Jing Hu snapped. "yes."
Jing Hu walked down the hill by himself.Hearing Uenosuke's words, he felt a tightness in his chest and really wanted to do evil.Although those things are unbelievable, they are not like lying. Judging from Qingjing's doting on Genzaburo, it is not difficult to imagine how much he is infatuated with Fujishi. At dinner, he drank with Usami. "Good wine! Give me some more!" He drank a lot. Usami said in surprise: "I didn't know you could drink so much!" "I don't know either!" Jing Hu replied without a smile, "However, after drinking, I do feel better." After the meal, he returned to the guest room, feeling depressed again, got up several times and walked outside to the corridor to spit. The bright moon was in the sky, and the saliva shone white in the ice-like snow-white moonlight. He suddenly cursed: "Woman!" He felt the existence of the woman in the inexplicable chaos in his heart, standing on the porch, he stared coldly at the moonlit night sky.He seemed to see a woman standing at the end of the moonlight. It was just the image of a woman, not a specific person. "Woman! Dirty things! Demons!" He cursed again, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the melodious flute sound, drifting across the night sky, lingering in his ears.
