Chapter 11 escort wolf

"My lord, my lord, my lord..." Qing Jing heard a call coming from far behind, and looked back, it was the veteran Tonhara Toyo, who was chasing after him with his hands raised and his white-haired head shaking. "Don't pay attention to him, that old idiot is useless, he killed me just now, I was unwilling to come back to life." Fuji Zi said coldly. "Really? He's really old and confused, and he can't help me fight anymore, so just leave him alone." Qingjing held Fujishi and Genzaburo's hands tightly and took two or three steps, then suddenly shouted: "Kill Bungo!"

At this time, the voice beside the ear became louder, "My lord! My lord! My lord..." Qingjing opened his eyes, and the servant kept calling him with his hands on the ground: "My lord, Duke Dingshi from the mansion has arrived." Qingjing didn't understand what he said, he was chasing the unfinished dreamland without realizing it, and when he understood that it was just a fantasy dream, he fell into sorrow and regret. The servant reported again: "Duke Dingshi from the mansion is here!" "Oh!" At this time, Qingjing remembered the matter of fleeing after losing the battle. He got up listlessly, thinking about why he came here, but even thinking about it was hard.

"Please come in quickly!" "Mr. Dingshi has entered the inner city and is waiting in the guest hall." Qingjing suddenly woke up from drunkenness, but his spirit was still sluggish. He didn't want to go to see Dingshi, and ordered another drink.Although the cold wine choked, he poured it into his mouth. When the wine dripped into his stomach, his heavy eyelids became hot, and he felt refreshed, so he got up and walked to the living room. Uesugi Noji put one hand on the charcoal stove and waited silently.When he came, the gates of the city were tightly closed, and he was in a state of defense against war.After entering the city, the guards were no more than fifty or sixty, and they probably guessed why Dingshi came here, and they all felt relieved.Although they stayed here out of loyalty and morality, they all felt at a loss.Once Jing Hu's army rushed forward, they couldn't stop them at all.

Thinking about it firmly, there are only so few people left, so it can be seen that many people escaped last night.However, this is also good, no matter how stubborn Qingjing is, and the situation is stronger than others, there is nothing she can do.Dingshi has deep confidence in this trip. Qingjing violently opened the paper door, walked into the room, stood upright and said, "You are here!" Then she walked heavily, the armor on her body making noise.He sat down and exhaled a strong smell of alcohol. "We lost! How miserable!" He laughed. The smell of alcohol rushed to the tip of Dingshi's nose again, causing him to do evil, and he was quite displeased. Even if he was a guardian in name only, Qingjing shouldn't treat him with this attitude.

However, he endured it and said calmly, "I'm here for this." "Haha! Are you here to ask me to do seppuku? But let me tell you, I don't know how to do seppuku. I still want to fight. The winner has not yet been decided. Because of my Wumen bloodline, this battle must be fought. This spring day The mountain city was built on the land designated by my late father. It is a famous city in Hokuriku. Even if Jinghu pursues the victory, he will not be able to do anything to this city. As long as I can hold on for a few days, the powerful families from all over the world will come to rescue and beat Jinghu back. After chasing him to nowhere, I can’t do harakiri! Why, do you still want me to do harakiri?”

Qingjing spoke more and more vigorously, and at the end she propped her shoulders, looking proud and unyielding. Of course Dingshi knew that he was bluffing, but he couldn't bear to say it bluntly, and replied in a complimenting tone: "You are very brave, as a military commander, you must be like this. I also thought that you would not give in just like this. The spirit of being the head of the Ou family is remarkable." Having said that, my tone suddenly changed: "However, it is also because of this that I have something to say. I just hope that you will use this brave heart to sacrifice your life for everything."

Dingshi stopped talking and stared at Qingjing's face, Qingjing's face showed an uneasy expression, he seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say it, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly. "It's nothing else to say, if you fight again, you have this level of psychological preparation, which shows that you still have the dignity of being a general, very good, but I hope you can also think about Kasugayama Nagao's family and me. Kasugayama Nagao's family is now left with two brothers, you and Jinghu. No matter who survives and who dies, the power of the family will be halved. If the brother dies, people will say that the brother is heartless; if the brother dies, people will say that the brother is not righteous. No matter what the result is, there will always be people pointing and pointing behind my back, and what will they say about me? They will say that they will kill each other when they are old, what kind of protection is this! I thought about it, Think of a way, how about you give up the family governor to Jing Hu and live in seclusion by yourself?"

"You are biased! You protect Jinghu who resists me!" Qingjing said angrily. "I'm not partial to anyone. This is the only good way right now. I think it's not bad for you to live in seclusion to enjoy the rest of your life. I plan to talk to Jing Hu again and ask him to give you enough salary to enjoy the rest of your life .Since you don't like it, I have no choice but to leave!" Dingshi pretended to leave, but Qingjing hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute!" "Any thing else?" "You want me to live in seclusion, and let Jing Hu be the master of Mount Chunri..." His tone was not pleasant.

"It's not uncommon for a brother to pass on the family business to his younger brother. You are the former head, and you should be able to enjoy the rest of your life in peace, but if you don't like it, I can't force it." "Wait, did you talk to Jing Hu before coming back?" "I didn't discuss it with anyone. This is my personal opinion. As long as you make a decision, I will definitely convince Jing Hu. I have confidence." "Jing Hu has been stubborn and dishonest since he was a child, will he let me live?" There was no bluff on Qingjing's face, only anxiety and terror, which meant he had been convinced.

Dingshi sit down again, and then earnestly persuade.
everything goes well.Qingjing moved out of Chunri Mountain City, and lived in seclusion in Funei City.He is temporarily living here in Dingshi, and will move out after finding a suitable hermitage. Jinghu moved into Kasugayama Castle, but Tochio Castle was still an important base for defending Sanjo, and the defense could not be relaxed, so he sent Honjo Keihide as the acting city lord, and Jinjin Xinbingwei to guard together. After Jing Hu succeeded as the governor of the family, he dedicated the 50,000 Guan territory in Ningcheng County to Qingjing for his seclusion expenses.Although Qingjing was a little reluctant at the beginning, he was very satisfied with this considerable seclusion fee.When he was a lord, he had to manage cumbersome government affairs and had to fight dangerous battles, but after he lived in seclusion, he only had to take care of the affairs of his own territory, and all the battles were left to Jing Hu. He just needed to live in comfort, and no one advised him He doesn't want to drink, don't indulge in womanizing, he has never had such a comfortable and relaxed life, he can't help thinking: "If I knew this, why didn't I ask me to live in seclusion earlier?"

However, his yearning for Fuji Zi is getting deeper and deeper. "Fuji Zi is Miss Qianjin. She thought the enemy was coming, so she hid in fright. It's so pitiful. She doesn't know how scared she is!" He thought again: "She probably doesn't know that I am living a comfortable and secluded life now! If she is still in the country, it is impossible not to know. Maybe she is so afraid that she hides in a remote mountain and has no contact with the world. I don't know my current situation, maybe she knew about it, but she was ashamed to see me because she ran away without waiting for me to come back, or she went back to Beijing, maybe she was caught by some rough man and was brutally ravaged ..." The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached, "If Xuan Gui was here at this time, he would definitely be able to find her right away, alas!" He really regretted letting Xuan Gui go to die in vain. He ordered his retainers and servants to search everywhere, but could not be found anywhere.They went to the hometown of the maids that Fujizi might have taken with her when she left, but her family said they never saw them come back; they also went to the hometown of the servant Jiusuke, but there was no news.Of course, people were also sent to search on the road to the capital, but no one saw her. "They're all useless guys!" Qing Jing was extremely prosperous, and thought of the benefits of Xuan Gui again.
That day, Fujishi killed Toyohiro Niyahara and fled out of the city according to the predetermined route.I thought it was the saddest place to guard the moat, but there were no guards. "What a coincidence!" They crossed the bridge smoothly and took the road on the left into the mountain.Halfway through the walk, Jiusuke, who had been carrying his luggage silently, said, "Take a rest! I'm exhausted!" Fujizi was worried about the pursuers, "Be patient, and rest a little ahead." "No, my shoulders are so sore." As he spoke, he sat down hard on the stone by the roadside, as if he couldn't move it with a sledge. Although Fujizi was impatient, there was nothing he could do. Hisusuke looked around while picking his booger. Fuji Zi urged him: "Enough rest, let's go!" "You can go, but where do you want to go? My wife used to do things that harmed the people. Everyone hates you. You can't go to many places!" Jiusuke's words seemed kind, but they were actually extremely pungent. Seeing his burly figure and vulgar expression, Fujizi felt uneasy as if seeing something terrible, but she couldn't show it, so she purposely held up her momentum and said: "I have my reasons, and it's useless to talk about those now. I'll temporarily stay at her house and wait for news from the lord. Didn't I tell you just now? The lord told me to do this a long time ago. " Jiusuke slowly repeated: "My lord told me so..." His attitude clearly expressed disbelief. Fuji Zi's heart turned cold, but she still stubbornly said: "My lord ordered it so!" Jiusuke turned to the maid: "Where is your hometown?" His tone is very frivolous, usually he is just a servant sweeping the courtyard, even if the other party is a maid, he can't speak in this tone. When the servant girl heard this, she was really angry and replied angrily. "Really? But you can't go to that place, you will be discovered soon!" He looked at Fuji Zi, "Let's do it! I'll take you to a good place." Before Fuji Zi answered, the servant girl rushed to ask, "Where are you going to take us?" "I used to be a fisherman, and I know how to row a boat. We will go out to sea by boat and go to a certain island or a port in another country. If we stay in this country, we will not feel at ease wherever we go." This proposal is good. If you can reach a certain port in Vietnam by sea, it will be more convenient to return to Beijing.Fuji Zi's heart moved, but the servant girl replied fiercely: "I don't want to go to a strange country. If Madam listens to you and wants to go with you, then I will go back to my hometown from here. Besides, the lord ordered Madam and me to go back and wait for his news. We can't change the itinerary without authorization, but you Regardless of this, you are just talking nonsense to deceive people, you scoundrel!" Her voice was high-pitched and her face was flushed. "What stupid things are you talking about! I said it for the sake of my wife. If you think I'm uneasy and kind, I don't say it!" After finishing speaking, Jiusuke fell silent. Fujizi thought, the maid said harsh words because she wanted to go home too much, and was angry with Jiusuke deliberately making trouble, but there were many points in the words that were worth considering, and I don't know what evil thoughts Jiusuke would think.If you only want people, you can bear it with your eyes closed, but if you are looking at treasures, there is no way to make up for it, and you should see it clearly before making a decision. "Get up anyway! It's too dangerous to stay here." Jiusuke stood up reluctantly, with gloomy eyes on his thick bearded face. Fujizi was very disturbed, wondering if he found a villain to accompany him? Jiusuke said: "It's too dangerous to go near the people. It's better to wait until it's dark before acting. Otherwise, there may be accidents, because the common people hate Madam to death!" He led the two women further into the mountains.Hearing what he said, Fujizi was afraid, and the maid was even more afraid, so he had to lead him into the deep mountains. In the northwest of Mount Chunri there is Mount Tangdian, with an elevation of 259 meters; on the east side of Mount Tangdian there is Mount Yandian, which is slightly lower.Jiusuke led Fujishi and the others into the col. "Wait until it gets dark before leaving! It's so bright that we can't go!" The mountain was overgrown with acacia, linden, and beech, for it was the depths of winter and the leaves had all fallen.Jiusuke saw a few cedar trees in the forest, and said, "Good over there! Let's rest over there!" He went straight to the foot of the cedar, and the two women had no choice but to follow. Kusuke put down the luggage on his back with a hey, drew out his waist knife, and cut some dry grass to make a cushion. "Sit here for a while, and I'll start a fire right away." In the winter sky just after noon, light blue smoke floated up and curled around the tops of the cedar trees. "You seem very irritable, but you can only be patient, because there is no other way in front of you!" I always feel that Jiusuke looks satisfied and happy.He folded the firewood, put his hands on the fire, and rubbed his hands when it was too hot, which gave people that feeling.The fire made his body warm, his face flushed, and his expression gradually became drunk. Fujizi's expression was indifferent, and she pretended not to see it, but she was scared in her heart. She kept thinking that she had found a dangerous character to help, but she was afraid that it would be bad if it showed up, so she still pretended to be calm. The fear in the servant girl's heart was not so easy to dispel. She stood up and down with a pale face, unable to calm down, and sometimes seemed to want to say something to Jiusuke, puffed her lips, but couldn't speak, sighed heavily, and her shoulders drooped weakly . Jiusuke seemed to be getting more and more complacent, his eyes dangling from the two women, his face was half a smile but not a smile. Suddenly, the servant girl yelled: "I don't want to stay in this ghost place anymore..." and cried like crazy. Fujizi was very angry, and shouted with all her strength: "Shut up!" The maid choked on her voice and stopped crying. Jiusuke didn't say anything, just stared at the two for a while, then turned his eyes to the fire. Fujishi was terrified, she wanted to say something to comfort Hissuke, but she didn't know if she should say it, so she still didn't make a sound. When the sky began to darken, Jiusuke finally got up: "Let's go! Let's go at this time, it will be dark when we reach the place where there are people." The two women breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiusuke did not take the usual path, he led them up the winding path among the bushes in the woods. The sky was getting dark, and Jiusuke strode forward without hesitation.Although Fujizi felt reassured, he also doubted how he knew there was such a way, so he asked unconsciously, "Are you familiar with this way?" "When I was young, I used to come here to play. In spring, there will be ferns growing on this mountain, and I will pick them all!" His voice was smug and light. After the sky was completely dark, not long after walking, a sea suddenly appeared in front of my eyes. Under the sky that was slightly brighter than before, the wide sea stretched infinitely until it reached the blurred horizon. They were standing on a high cliff, and the bottom was probably a rocky coast. The sound of crashing waves stirred up white waves, flickering and disappearing.Extend left and right along the path along the cliff. "Look, it's finally out, you can rest assured now, let's take a rest!" Hisasuke put down his luggage and stretched his arms facing the sea to breathe.Fuji Zi and the servant girl also learned to stretch out their arms to breathe. The two of them walked all the way, so nervous that their whole bodies were drenched in sweat. Jiusuke continued to breathe towards the sea, only to see him turn around slowly, and suddenly rushed towards the servant girl.The servant girl's body jumped up and flew off the cliff, and with a long scream, she landed on the rocks frequently beaten by the white waves. Fuji Zi stepped back fiercely, holding the dagger in his arms and shouting: "What are you doing?!" Jiusuke held a small white knife in his right hand, shaking the tip of the knife. "Hehe! That woman is not for you at all. She has been arguing to go home. When she really returns to her house, she will sell you to those who hate you! You have such a person by your side, not only can you not help If you are busy, it will be dangerous, you know?" His voice was low and his tone was weird, which made Fujizi even more frightened. Holding the dagger tightly, she stepped back carefully. "Don't hold that dangerous thing, put it in the sheath and give it to me, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel." As he spoke, he continued to turn the tip of the knife. Fujizi gasped and said, "Put your knife away!" "Hey! You're afraid of this! All right!" He took out the towel around his waist, wiped the knife, and smelled it to the tip of his nose. "Hmph, hum! That girl's blood is very bloody! I thought she had never touched a man, but I didn't expect it to be so bloody. She probably passed some wild man secretly, hum..." After sniffing for a while, he threw the towel away and put the knife back in its sheath. "That's all right! Come on! Give me the dagger!" He stretched out his left hand and turned sideways, in a posture where he could jump and attack at any time after calculating the right time. At this time, a flash of light flashed in Fuji Zi's heart. "Ah, he is not coveting my gold and silver treasures, what he wants is my body, otherwise, he will kill me together." Thinking of this, she quickly regained her composure.She wanted to show a smiling face, but immediately changed her mind, because smiling at this time would not be attractive, and it would be better to put on an honest and frightened look. She handed the knife to Jiusuke, and Jiusuke slowly stretched out his hand to pick it up. When it was too late and then quickly, Jiusuke strode close to her, wrapped his strong arms around her neck, and hugged her waist tightly with the other, Fujizi felt Her body was suspended in the air, and the choking stench of sweat from not bathing for many days and the body odor of men enveloped her whole body. "Bold!" Fujizi scolded angrily, trying to push him away, but what she touched with her hands was a thick and hard chest. "hey-hey……" Hisusuke smiled smugly, seeming to enjoy Fujishi struggling in his arms. The two walked close together, Fuji Zi continued to struggle, but suddenly stopped.Qingjing didn't have the choking strong body odor and hard muscles and bones on his body, only the smell of wine and fat and soft fat on his body.At this moment, she felt a kind of drunken dizziness, and her whole body was overflowing with a sense of trance like paralysis. "Hi!" Kusuke laid the petite and beautiful woman down on the withered grass, and peeled off her clothes one by one like peeling skin.
For three consecutive days, Kusuke and Fujishi rowed the boat towards Etchu.The boat was stolen by them off the coast of Sōtsu near Shonai.During the day, they hid behind the uninhabited coastal reefs with people and boats, so that they could take a good rest after paddling all night. Because it was the northwest wind season, the boats traveled slower than expected, and they only sailed on the third night. Enter Toyama Bay. They agreed to release Shengjin from the mouth of the Shogawa River that flows into Toyama Bay and go back to Kyoto.But before reaching this conclusion, the two had a dispute. Jiusuke said to Fujizi: "You are the daughter of a noble in Kyoto. After I send you back to Beijing, you will never talk to me again. Maybe you not only ignore me, but kill me instead. You once gave me such a beautiful dream. , I would be willing to be killed by you, but I hope to dream a little more. The port of Fangshengjin is very lively. In the past, the nobles in Beijing often came here to play. We will stay there for a while before leaving. After that, we will kill I, I have no complaints, just do it!" Of course Fujizi refused, but she still said in a calm tone: "How can such a thing happen? Don't think that the courtiers and nobles in Beijing are so majestic and great. After years of wars, their territories have been seized by the Wu family and their houses have been burned down. It’s all gone, it’s worse than ordinary merchants. Look at me, if you have enough food and clothing in Beijing, why did you come all the way to Echigo, a small remote country? I just came here because I couldn’t settle down in Beijing. You follow me, I’m very happy Don't worry, I have some savings on hand, let's go back to the Jingcheng family! Just buy a small house and a field near Sagano. I am a nobleman, and in my name, I don't have to pay land taxes at all. We can live comfortably, and I can also Having a child, young and strong like you, will definitely allow me to have a healthy and lovely child." She put her arms around Jiusuke's neck, and kissed him affectionately. Now, Jiusuke was like sugar softened under the sun, "Okay! Alright! Let's just cross the border to release the saliva, and go back to Beijing... Hee! My child!" He rowed vigorously. It was late at night when they sailed into Toyama Bay, and the sky suddenly changed.The past two days were sunny, but now the sky suddenly changed, the wind speed increased, and snow fell in the sky.The dry snow swirls with the strong northwest wind, and the air is freezing. Fujishi asked Jiusuke to untie the burden and take out the clothes, and put them on at this time, although the clothes would be damaged by the tide, sea wind and snow, but there was no way.She took out several sets, wrapped her whole body tightly from head to toe, with only her eyes exposed, and squatted in the middle of the boat. "How did the sky change?!" Jiusuke muttered, and he also wrapped his head and neck with women's clothes, and rowed vigorously.But no matter how you row, the boat just doesn't move forward, and it will retreat at every turn. "Hey!" He called Fujizi at the top of his voice, his voice seemed to be blown away by the wind, Fujizi couldn't hear her, and squatted still, the snow was circling her black stone-like figure at a very fast speed. "Hey!" He raised his voice again. Fuji Zi moved slightly, and turned to him, only to see a blurred white face emerging from the darkness. "We can't release Shengjin like this, so we will go ashore here, okay?" I don't know if Fujizi heard it, but she seemed to be nodding her head. Hisusuke turned the bow of the boat towards the land, and instantly approached the land easily and happily as if he was sailing with the wind. They only knew they were in Toyama Bay, but they didn't know where it was.I saw the fire light can be seen in the distance on the bank on the right hand side, so I paddled with the fire light as the target.The speed of the boat was faster, and it reached the front of the fire all at once. It seems to be a fairly large port town, with many lights flickering.Hisusuke tells Fujishi that it might be Uozuko, but Fujishi leans forward and doesn't move. After leaving the Echigo border, there is no need to be so careful. If it is really Uozu Port, that would be even better.In this port, merchant ships from various countries call, and there are also hotels for liveaboarders.When he thinks of warming himself by the fire under the eaves that he has not seen for a long time, drinking a cup of hot wine, and holding the wisteria for warmth, Jiusuke can't help his blood rushing, and he wants to be intoxicated. He rowed desperately to the port. The boats in the harbor were moored to the shore, the people in the town had already fallen asleep, and there was only dim light from the houses everywhere. The boat rides the waves and is pushed to the sand on the shore.Jiusuke jumped out of the boat. The water was knee-deep and extremely cold. He grabbed the bow of the boat and pulled it ashore to fasten it.He put things on the sand first, and then reached out to the vine. Fujishi said: "Don't get my clothes wet!" He lifted up his hem and let Jiusuke gently hug him.
