Chapter 9 Mishan Pharmacist Hall
Linquan Temple sent Tiger Chiyo back to the city, Wei Jing was very unhappy.Weijing looked at Master Tianshi and said, "What do you mean without Buddha's affinity? Don't you often say that even dogs have Buddha-nature?"
"The Buddha's predestined relationship mentioned by the poor monk means being able to become a monk. It means that a person is destined to become a monk. Those who return to the vulgar world without fulfilling their predestined relationship are all tied to the thread of karma. According to the poor monk, Tora Chiyo-kun is not the temperament of a monk at a young age, that is, he does not have this karmic predestined relationship, so he cannot force it. Bring disaster."
Although Wei Jing was not happy, he still had to leave Tiger Chiyo in the city.But his dislike of Tiger Chiyo was unreservedly revealed.In the past, he was still afraid, and he barely pretended to have feelings for Torachiyo, but now even this little pretense is avoided.
In the Nagao family, it's not that no one felt sorry for Tora Chiyo, but no one dared to speak out to Wei Jing, because as the youngest son, even if Tora Chiyo showed favor to him, it might not be beneficial to the future, so everyone kept silent, only Matsue dared to say : "I think the lord doesn't love Tiger Chiyo at all. No matter how I look at it, I think so. Why don't you like him? Isn't he also your child?"
Wei Jing was quite embarrassed: "Why do you say such things? I didn't treat him particularly badly!"
"Really?" Her sentence was short, but sarcastically disbelieving.
Wei Jing was even more embarrassed, and he said: "If you think so, it's not all because the child is dishonest and always full of complaints. I am trying to correct him. Even if I am a bit harsh, I am not cruel. Children, so I don’t understand, in the hearts of parents, any child is cute, whether stupid or naughty, they are all cute in the hearts of parents.”
He tried desperately to explain, but Songjiang couldn't accept it at all, and ended the conversation with a simple "Really?"
Wei Jing felt that he had to do something to explain to Matsue that he had feelings for Tora Chiyo. Although he felt that this was a concession to Matsue, a woman who was always unruly and unruly, and who was smart or stupid, but when she aggressively and honestly spoke her heart When he thought about it, he couldn't resist.He first served as Tiger Chiyo Yuan, and changed his name to Xihei Erjinghu.The children of ordinary samurai don't wear clothes until they are about fourteen or five years old, but the children of princes usually wear clothes at the age of seven or eight. Not thinner than others.But Matsue's sharp eyes can still see through Wei Jing's heart, she always has an expression of "you haven't done enough", Wei Jing has to smile wryly and repeatedly plans for Tora Chiyo.
About one mile northeast of Shibata City, there is a village of Kaji. Kaji Haruna, a wealthy family in the village, belongs to the Sasaki clan of Omi Genji, one of the prominent Echigo families since the Kamakura period.Chun Gang had no heirs, so in the spring of Jing Hu's eight-year-old year, Wei Jing begged his guardian, Uesugi, to speak kindly in front of Chun Gang, so that Jing Hu could adopt him as an adopted son in Chun Gang's family.Sadashi was entrusted by Weijing, so of course he went all out and sent envoys to Xia Echigo to convey this intention.Chun Gang also promised happily: "I have no heirs at this age. I have been looking for an adopted son for several years, but I have not found a suitable one. It is really gratifying to have Ding Shigong's kindness today, especially for the sake of my son. Duke Jing’s son, that’s what you can’t ask for, please leave everything to me!”
After the matter was settled, Wei Jing called Jing Hu and told him about it.But Jing Hu replied coldly: "I don't want to be someone else's child!" He rolled his eyes sullenly as usual, and refused to say a word.
Wei Jing said it was a matter of my face, but Jing Hu still disagreed.Tired of persuading Jing, he ordered Jinjin Xinbingwei to persuade him, but Jing Hu still refused to agree, and finally begged Songjiang to come forward, but Songjiang replied very coldly: "I don't want to talk about such things with Master Hu! I understand that if he says he doesn't want to, he just doesn't want to, and I don't want to force him. Master Hu knows very well that he is a big trouble in your heart, so you want to send him to someone else's house. If he thinks like this, I can't help it advised."
Then Songjiang persuaded Weijing in turn: "Master Hu is also your lord's child, you should not send him away, you should keep him in the city to raise him, as far as I see, among the lord's children, he will belong to the lord in the future." Young Master Hu is the most promising, it would be a pity to give it to someone else."
Wei Jing understood this woman's stubborn temper very well, so he didn't beg her any more except for a wry smile.But his anger towards Jinghu continued unabated. In order to punish Jinghu, he said that disobeying his parents would be unfilial and that he should not stay in the city, so he drove Jinghu out of the city and lived in Xinbingwei's house.He even threatened: "As long as Jing Hu is unfilial, I will not recognize him as my child, so you don't have to treat him as a young master, just treat him as your friend's child."
It was the winter morning when Jinghu was eight years old.
Wei Jing didn't completely give up his plan to let Jing Hu join Si Jiadi's house.He sent Jinghu to Xinbingwei's house to be raised as the son of an ordinary samurai, thinking that Jinghu might give in and go to Kadi's house.He told Xinbingwei this plan, and asked Xinbingwei to try harder to persuade Jing Hu, but several months later, Jing Hu's attitude remained unchanged.Wei Jing was even more angry, he felt that if he didn't deal with Jing Hu, then he would have no face to deal with Uesugi and Kaji Haruna. One day, he came to Xinbingwei and told him: "Although Xiaohu is young, he is so stubborn to the end in spite of his parents' face. It is really abominable. I don't want him to live near my city anymore. Sever the relationship between father and son. I order you, no matter where you send him, as long as you stay away from my city." Although Xinbingwei knew very well that Wei Jing couldn't lose face, he also knew Jing Hu's stubbornness, and there was nothing he could do about him.Wei Jing said that, and he was surprised, this time was no small matter, he desperately defended Jing Hu: "I know that the lord's anger is inevitable, but it's not unreasonable for a child to leave home to be someone else's adopted son, so it's not unreasonable to be in a bad mood, you might as well temporarily If you don’t mention this matter, he will definitely be obedient in one or two years.” But Wei Jing refused to listen: "What I said just now is the result of repeated consideration. If you don't do this, you will not be able to explain to Ding Shigong and the Jiadi family. In the future, my orders will no longer have any weight. I think, you You should know how important this matter is.” When he said that, Shinbei had nothing to say.But he still didn't give up, and went to Ninomaru to ask Qingjing to talk about the matter, but Qingjing had no feelings for this younger brother, and refused coldly: "From the standpoint of father, I have to deal with it like this. Although Jinghu is young, But he really lacks thoughtfulness, even if I say it, my father won't listen." So far, there is no other way but to follow Wei Jing's order.But where to send Jinghu is really a problem.Shinbei first went to Sukichi Nagao's house to discuss.Kassa's father Xianji passed away a few years ago, and the current head of the family is Kassa's elder brother.He thought to himself: "I heard that Jing Hu doesn't please his father. He is a very bad-tempered child. It's only natural to make Jing Gong angry, but Jing Hu is so stubborn. However, judging by the current situation, I'm not good either." Come forward to take care of this matter, because it is for Jinggong to make an explanation for Dingshigong and Jiadi's family, but after all, he is my nephew, so I have to find a way!" After thinking about it for a long time, he said: "There is a Honjo Keihide in Tochio, the last family of the Koizumi Honjo family. Although he is not rich and famous, he has a strong heart and is sincere. I have a deep friendship with him. You Take my letter to him and try it out!" Shinbei took the letter to Tochio.Tochio is only three miles away from Sukichi, and it will arrive soon.Qingxiu read the letter and said, "Since it's brother Qiji's matter, of course I'd be happy to help, you can send someone here anytime!" Qingxiu, who was in her early thirties, readily agreed.Xinbingwei immediately went back to Qiji to report, and then rushed back to Mount Kasuga to report to Weijing, who said coldly: "He is an abandoned son, so I will leave it to you, thank you for your hard work!" Xinbingwei couldn't help thinking that being a king was not to explain to others at all, but he really hated Jing Hu. With Jinghu on his back, Xinbingwei took four servants and embarked on a shabby and wronged journey.It's the end of autumn, and everything looks desolate at first glance. They left Kasuga Mountain and headed north, and Xinbingwei felt infinitely desolate in his heart.Kasuga Mountain is about eight miles away from Mishan Mountain. They left Kasuga Mountain before dawn and arrived at the Pharmacist Hall on the top of the mountain before sunset, planning to stay here tonight.Mt. Yone is 993 meters above sea level. It rises along the coast and divides the Echigo Plain into two. With this mountain as the boundary, Joego is in the south and Shimoego is in the north.The beautiful mountain scenery, together with the Yakushido on the top of the mountain, is one of the few famous mountains in Japan. It is the season when the maple leaves are all over the mountains. Under the clear sky and the setting sun, the mountains are bright red, which is really beautiful. Everyone stands in the corridor of the Pharmacist Hall, admiring the beautiful scenery of the red leaves. Xinbei discovered that Jinghu's gaze was not looking at the red leaves, but was looking at the plains in the south.Because Mishan stands in the plain, the view is excellent, and you can have a panoramic view of the mansion and Mount Kasuga.Jing Hu stared in the direction of Kasuga Mountain.He is small in stature, but very strong and has a lot of strength.However, after all, he was only an eight-year-old child, with his small body upright, his lips tightly closed, and his keen eyes focused on the far end of the plain. Xinbingwei thought to himself, he didn't shed a single tear when he left Mount Kasuga, maybe it's only now that he feels a little attached and sad!At this time, Jing Hu suddenly turned his head and called him: "Xinbingwei!" When Xinbingwei rushed to his side, Jing Hu smiled and said, "Do you know any general who fought on this mountain?" There was no sentimentality in his tone and attitude. The recruit guard was panicked and didn't know how to answer, so he asked, "What did you say?" "I want to know the story of the general who once used this mountain as a battleground! Do you know?" "I haven't heard of it." "You haven't heard of it, so haven't you? Isn't this world full of mediocre generals?! If you use this as your base, and you can have a panoramic view of the mansion and Mount Chunri, I really hope to grow up soon." Showing her cute dimples, she spoke innocently. Although Xinbingwei felt a chill run down his spine, tears of joy welled up immediately. He knelt down with his hands arched and said: "If Master Tiger becomes a great general in the future, what you just said will definitely be passed on to future generations! You You must live up to your expectations, you must become great!" After speaking, they couldn't help crying. "Mmm! Mmm!" Jing Hu nodded.Sunlight pierces through the clouds.In the twilight, tears glistened in his eyes that stared straight ahead.
In the spring of the following year when Kagetora was exiled to Tochio, Kage and Usami Sakayuki led troops into Etchu together.In recent years, the believers of the Ichigo sect in Echigo did not obey the orders of the lords, and they united and resisted at every turn. It is said that the aristocratic family of Echigo was behind the instigation, so Weijing sent troops to conquer. Etchu and Noto are the governing states of the Hatakeyama clan, one of the three governing leaders of the Ashikaga clan since the establishment of the Ashikaga Shogunate.At that time, the power of the Hatakeyama clan was declining, and the domestic samurai each occupied one side and raised troops to rule the roost. Usami Sadayuki's army had captured Matsukura Castle in Shincheon County, so he further attacked Fangshengjin Castle in Sheshui County for the sake of scenery.Since the Heian period, Fangshengjin City has accumulated wealth in trading goods with the convenience of the location, and it has become a wealthy town, so the Hatakeyama family has been holding on to it. When Weijing attacked Fangshengjin City, the defense in the city was quite weak. The lord of the city, Hatakeyama Tsukuru, always stayed in the high house in Hanoi, so only his retainers stayed in the city. here. Tokudaiji Shimo is the nephew of Hatakeyama Tsukinaga. Because of years of wars, the territory has been occupied by samurai, the annual tribute has been cut off, and because of the war in Kyoto, the house was destroyed, so two or three years ago, he brought eight courtiers from the same clan to release him. Shengjin City took refuge in his uncle.These aristocrats are usually pampered and have no fighting ability, but they get in the way during wartime.Under the onslaught of rockets from the Longtail Army, Fangshengjin City fell instantly, and Deda Temple and others committed suicide in the raging fire.
Fangsheng Jincheng fell at Weike (2 o'clock in the afternoon).Immediately entered the city for the sake of the scene, because the embers in the city had not disappeared, so only a victory cheering ceremony was held, and then withdrew to the suburban monastery where the main camp was located. Ever since he set out to fight for the scene, Songjiang has been with him all the time.According to historical records, Songjiang's heroic appearance on the battlefield is as follows: wearing purple leather armor with red ears, wearing a half-moon-shaped helmet, and holding a halberd.Disguised as a man, she is indescribably handsome.She followed Weijing back to the main camp.When she was about to change her clothes in the evening, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something in the city. It was a little before the victory cheering ceremony, and she went to a corner of the city wall to get her makeup done. After makeup, she left the mirror she used at that time on the city wall.The bosom mirror was made of copper and was exquisite in quality. She felt it was a pity to lose it, so she got on the horse and went to the city. She only wore a battle robe, no helmet, and a golden crown on her forehead. She rode into the city and arrived at the place where the mirror was left. Out of the main city gate, along the wide road to the Zhuangchuan embankment, the river is high tide, and the clear sky also faintly draws the first quarter moon. It is the spring of the Snow Country when the flowers are in full bloom. Songjiang, which has always been unrefined, can't help but sigh at this moment The scenery is excellent and the mind and body are happy.So he let go of the rein and ran the horse slowly. It wasn't long before she heard a woman's screams, and she immediately became angry—"Those beasts are going to ruin women again!" Although she saw too many scenes of the victorious army raping the defeated army's women during the battle, she always Can't get used to it.She has an upright and strong personality, and hates evil as much as hatred. Although she has lived as a noble lady for many years, her nature has not changed. Of course, she cannot suppress the anger that ignited from the bottom of her heart at this moment.She angrily searched around the fading twilight, and soon saw a group of people running out from two or three farmhouses surrounded by bushes not far away. There were about fifteen or six people. Looking carefully, they were divided into two teams, each Carrying something, shouting "Hey! Hey!" in unison until it was lifted to the embankment.They drank a lot and behaved wildly and violently.Songjiang knew that what they were carrying must be a woman, she pulled the reins, stared intently, and heard a scream, it was a fragile scream that was about to die. Songjiang felt the blood rushing to his forehead, so he let his horse go straight to the embankment.The soldiers lined up the two women side by side like tuna fish on the embankment where five or six inches of young reeds had just sprouted, and then sat in a circle, exchanging obscene and obscene words.They were probably very drunk, and when they saw Songjiang, they didn't know who she was.The bearded man who seemed to be the leader in this circle said: "Let's draw lots for the next one! But we will talk about it after everyone enjoys it!" Songjiang looked at the soldiers who were smelly, and the woman who seemed to be dead and lying still, stood there for a while, then suddenly rushed into the circle surrounded by the soldiers, and swiped the whip in his hand towards the bearded man. man.The whip hit the man's face firmly, and he screamed and jumped up: "What are you doing!" He stroked his face with his left hand, and drew out the knife with his right hand. The group also dispersed nervously.The sky was already dark, and although there was a moon, no one could see clearly what happened. They only knew that someone was harassing and instinctively waving their knives at each other. "Who are you? Are you an enemy or a friend? Why do you want to interfere with us?" The blade reflected the moonlight, flashing a dazzling light. Songjiang did not rush. After standing still, he glanced slowly at the crowd and said: "I am Songjiang who is by Jinggong's side. I can't stand you bad guys who bully the people. Hurry up and step down. If you don't leave, Don't blame me for being ruthless." It's a pity that these people don't seem to know who Songjiang is. "What? Who are you?" "How can the people who serve Shinanomori say such things?!" They looked at Song Jiang up and down in chatter, and suddenly, the man who was hit by the whip just now smiled and said: "Oh! It turned out to be a female warrior, so I can't bear it anymore!" He came over majestically with a knife , as if he could easily catch Songjiang. "A beast that knows how to live and die!" Songjiang said before the words came out, and the man's body was swept up into the sky by the whip, and fell to the group of people in an instant.Before they had time to be surprised, Songjiang had already dropped his whip and drew out his knife: "I'll see if I don't kill any of you beasts!" She swung the knife more easily than cutting taro. Although she used the back of the knife, she broke the shoulder bones, arms or ribs of three or four people in an instant because of too much strength. Fleeing.
"A useless animal can't even beat a woman!" Song Jiang put the knife back into its sheath, picked up the whip and approached the two women.She knelt down and called them softly: "Are you still alive? Don't die!" She took a closer look: "Oh! It's not a woman here!" These two women were about thirty-five or six years old. Although they fainted and their faces were as pale as paper, but when you looked carefully, their long faces were delicate and elegant, their eyebrows were painted, not natural, and their clothes were soft and pure. White silk dress.Songjiang thought to himself: "Probably the wives and relatives of the public family members! I heard that some public family members live in this city." She hugged one of them, and gently tapped her on the back: "Wake up! Get up!" The woman screamed weakly again, trying to break free and run away.Songjiang hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, I have already beaten those beasts away just now! Don't worry!" The woman's soul has not turned around yet, and she stares at Songjiang in fear. "If you don't believe me, look, I'm not that group of beasts just now!" Songjiang moved his face closer for her to see.She sighed heavily, because she was so relieved that she passed out again.Songjiang slapped her on the cheek hard: "Don't be like this! I don't just want to save you alone!" With that said, she went to take care of another one.It was the same with this one, Song Jiang slapped her to regain her spirits.Song Jiang murmured unknowingly: "You people just want to be taken care of by others. What's the use of being so weak? Look at you like this, you must be the family members of the Kyoto public!" The two women looked at the young and handsome samurai who looked like a man and a woman, but was full of foul language, and they were so frightened that they didn't know how to react. Songjiang asked them again: "Is that so?" They nodded hastily, sobbing uncontrollably. "Don't cry, what's the use of crying? It can't solve the problem. Since I saved you, I will naturally take care of you. Let's go!" Song Jiang hugged them from left to right and helped them onto the embankment, and put them both on horses: "Hurry up! Don't fall!" He hurried back to the camp.
These two were Meixiaolu Zhongnayan who died in the city with Tokudaiji Dai Nayan and the wife of Major General Tangqiao.At that time, Emperor Go Nara was living in poverty, and even had to sell the imperial calligraphy for money to make ends meet, not to mention other courtiers.The Meixiaolu family and the Tangqiao family are distant relatives of the Dedaiji family. When Dedaiji went to Fangshengjin to seek refuge in Hatakeyama, they did not invite them to go with them. Song Jiang took the two back to the camp and stayed in his room to talk about their experiences.Although Songjiang is as strong as a man, but emotionally as fragile as a woman, she started to cry as she listened: "It's been less than half a year since you've been here, but your family has been ruined, what a pity!" As soon as Songjiang cried, the two of them cried even harder, and the three women cried together. They looked alike, both very slender and frail looking.Although she is a little old, she still has the beauty of twilight, and she has the feeling of a noble lady in the capital at first glance.Because they were so similar, Songjiang couldn't help asking, and they were indeed sisters.Mrs. Mei Xiaolu is the elder sister, she is forty-one years old, and Mrs. Tangqiao is forty. When Matsue suffered the same tragic fate for their sisters and couldn't help shedding tears, Mrs. Umekoji suddenly asked, "Can you send us to Kakizaki in Echigo?" Matsue, who originally intended to take care of the sisters, was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately asked rudely, "What are you doing in Kakizaki? Are there any acquaintances there?" The two were stunned by her sudden change of attitude, and said timidly: "Both of our daughters are at the house of Lord Kakizaki and Izumi Morokage." "Really? In this case, I should send you there, but..." Matsue wanted to ask what their daughter was doing with Yajiro Kakizaki, but suddenly remembered the past and shut up quickly. She remembered that seven or eight years ago, Wei Jing bought two beauties from Kyoto and gave them to Kakizaki, making him win the battle by defecting. "Oh my God! Are those two beauties from Kyoto their daughters?" Songjiang looked at the two women carefully, not knowing whether it was a chance encounter or sadness. Mrs. Meixiaolu said: "When we left Beijing, we wanted to live in Fangshengjin for a while, and we were going to Kakizaki. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If we had gone earlier..." And wept again. "We're sorry for our daughters, we don't have the face to see them, but mother and daughter love each other, and we always want to see them again, that's why we're trying to survive and want to go out of the city..." Mrs. Tangqiao also began to cry. "Okay! I'll send you to Kakizaki, but wait a moment." Song Jiang went to Wei Jing's room and explained what had happened in detail, Wei Jing couldn't help being shocked.He only heard Songjiang say: "I'll bring them to see you!" Without waiting for Weijing to agree or not, he brought the two wives here.
Wei Jing didn't completely give up his plan to let Jing Hu join Si Jiadi's house.He sent Jinghu to Xinbingwei's house to be raised as the son of an ordinary samurai, thinking that Jinghu might give in and go to Kadi's house.He told Xinbingwei this plan, and asked Xinbingwei to try harder to persuade Jing Hu, but several months later, Jing Hu's attitude remained unchanged.Wei Jing was even more angry, he felt that if he didn't deal with Jing Hu, then he would have no face to deal with Uesugi and Kaji Haruna. One day, he came to Xinbingwei and told him: "Although Xiaohu is young, he is so stubborn to the end in spite of his parents' face. It is really abominable. I don't want him to live near my city anymore. Sever the relationship between father and son. I order you, no matter where you send him, as long as you stay away from my city." Although Xinbingwei knew very well that Wei Jing couldn't lose face, he also knew Jing Hu's stubbornness, and there was nothing he could do about him.Wei Jing said that, and he was surprised, this time was no small matter, he desperately defended Jing Hu: "I know that the lord's anger is inevitable, but it's not unreasonable for a child to leave home to be someone else's adopted son, so it's not unreasonable to be in a bad mood, you might as well temporarily If you don’t mention this matter, he will definitely be obedient in one or two years.” But Wei Jing refused to listen: "What I said just now is the result of repeated consideration. If you don't do this, you will not be able to explain to Ding Shigong and the Jiadi family. In the future, my orders will no longer have any weight. I think, you You should know how important this matter is.” When he said that, Shinbei had nothing to say.But he still didn't give up, and went to Ninomaru to ask Qingjing to talk about the matter, but Qingjing had no feelings for this younger brother, and refused coldly: "From the standpoint of father, I have to deal with it like this.

He is a very bad-tempered child. It's only natural to make Jing Gong angry, but Jing Hu is so stubborn. However, judging by the current situation, I'm not good either."

Although he is not rich and famous, he has a strong heart and is sincere. I have a deep friendship with him. You Take my letter to him and try it out!" Shinbei took the letter to Tochio.Tochio is only three miles away from Sukichi, and it will arrive soon.Qingxiu read the letter and said, "Since it's brother Qiji's matter, of course I'd be happy to help, you can send someone here anytime!" Qingxiu, who was in her early thirties, readily agreed.Xinbingwei immediately went back to Qiji to report, and then rushed back to Mount Kasuga to report to Weijing, who said coldly: "He is an abandoned son, so I will leave it to you, thank you for your hard work!" Xinbingwei couldn't help thinking that being a king was not to explain to others at all, but he really hated Jing Hu. With Jinghu on his back, Xinbingwei took four servants and embarked on a shabby and wronged journey.It's the end of autumn, and everything looks desolate at first glance.

Fangsheng Jincheng fell at Weike (2 o'clock in the afternoon).Immediately entered the city for the sake of the scene, because the embers in the city had not disappeared, so only a victory cheering ceremony was held, and then withdrew to the suburban monastery where the main camp was located. Ever since he set out to fight for the scene, Songjiang has been with him all the time.According to historical records, Songjiang's heroic appearance on the battlefield is as follows: wearing purple leather armor with red ears, wearing a half-moon-shaped helmet, and holding a halberd.Disguised as a man, she is indescribably handsome.She followed Weijing back to the main camp.When she was about to change her clothes in the evening, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten something in the city. It was a little before the victory cheering ceremony, and she went to a corner of the city wall to get her makeup done. After makeup, she left the mirror she used at that time on the city wall.The bosom mirror was made of copper and was exquisite in quality. She felt it was a pity to lose it, so she got on the horse and went to the city. She only wore a battle robe, no helmet, and a golden crown on her forehead. She rode into the city and arrived at the place where the mirror was left. Out of the main city gate, along the wide road to the Zhuangchuan embankment, the river is high tide, and the clear sky also faintly draws the first quarter moon. It is the spring of the Snow Country when the flowers are in full bloom. Songjiang, which has always been unrefined, can't help but sigh at this moment The scenery is excellent and the mind and body are happy.So he let go of the rein and ran the horse slowly. It wasn't long before she heard a woman's screams, and she immediately became angry—"Those beasts are going to ruin women again!" Although she saw too many scenes of the victorious army raping the defeated army's women during the battle, she always Can't get used to it.She has an upright and strong personality, and hates evil as much as hatred. Although she has lived as a noble lady for many years, her nature has not changed. Of course, she cannot suppress the anger that ignited from the bottom of her heart at this moment.She angrily searched around the fading twilight, and soon saw a group of people running out from two or three farmhouses surrounded by bushes not far away. There were about fifteen or six people. Looking carefully, they were divided into two teams, each Carrying something, shouting "Hey! Hey!" in unison until it was lifted to the embankment.They drank a lot and behaved wildly and violently.Songjiang knew that what they were carrying must be a woman, she pulled the reins, stared intently, and heard a scream, it was a fragile scream that was about to die. Songjiang felt the blood rushing to his forehead, so he let his horse go straight to the embankment.The soldiers lined up the two women side by side like tuna fish on the embankment where five or six inches of young reeds had just sprouted, and then sat in a circle, exchanging obscene and obscene words.They were probably very drunk, and when they saw Songjiang, they didn't know who she was.The bearded man who seemed to be the leader in this circle said: "Let's draw lots for the next one! But we will talk about it after everyone enjoys it!" Songjiang looked at the soldiers who were smelly, and the woman who seemed to be dead and lying still, stood there for a while, then suddenly rushed into the circle surrounded by the soldiers, and swiped the whip in his hand towards the bearded man. man.The whip hit the man's face firmly, and he screamed and jumped up: "What are you doing!" He stroked his face with his left hand, and drew out the knife with his right hand. The group also dispersed nervously.The sky was already dark, and although there was a moon, no one could see clearly what happened. They only knew that someone was harassing and instinctively waving their knives at each other. "Who are you? Are you an enemy or a friend? Why do you want to interfere with us?" The blade reflected the moonlight, flashing a dazzling light. Songjiang did not rush. After standing still, he glanced slowly at the crowd and said: "I am Songjiang who is by Jinggong's side. I can't stand you bad guys who bully the people. Hurry up and step down. If you don't leave, Don't blame me for being ruthless." It's a pity that these people don't seem to know who Songjiang is. "What? Who are you?" "How can the people who serve Shinanomori say such things?!" They looked at Song Jiang up and down in chatter, and suddenly, the man who was hit by the whip just now smiled and said: "Oh! It turned out to be a female warrior, so I can't bear it anymore!" He came over majestically with a knife , as if he could easily catch Songjiang. "A beast that knows how to live and die!" Songjiang said before the words came out, and the man's body was swept up into the sky by the whip, and fell to the group of people in an instant.Before they had time to be surprised, Songjiang had already dropped his whip and drew out his knife: "I'll see if I don't kill any of you beasts!" She swung the knife more easily than cutting taro. Although she used the back of the knife, she broke the shoulder bones, arms or ribs of three or four people in an instant because of too much strength. Fleeing.
"A useless animal can't even beat a woman!" Song Jiang put the knife back into its sheath, picked up the whip and approached the two women.She knelt down and called them softly: "Are you still alive? Don't die!" She took a closer look: "Oh! It's not a woman here!" These two women were about thirty-five or six years old. Although they fainted and their faces were as pale as paper, but when you looked carefully, their long faces were delicate and elegant, their eyebrows were painted, not natural, and their clothes were soft and pure. White silk dress.Songjiang thought to himself: "Probably the wives and relatives of the public family members! I heard that some public family members live in this city." She hugged one of them, and gently tapped her on the back: "Wake up! Get up!" The woman screamed weakly again, trying to break free and run away.Songjiang hugged her and said, "Don't be afraid, I have already beaten those beasts away just now! Don't worry!" The woman's soul has not turned around yet, and she stares at Songjiang in fear. "If you don't believe me, look, I'm not that group of beasts just now!" Songjiang moved his face closer for her to see.She sighed heavily, because she was so relieved that she passed out again.Songjiang slapped her on the cheek hard: "Don't be like this! I don't just want to save you alone!" With that said, she went to take care of another one.It was the same with this one, Song Jiang slapped her to regain her spirits.Song Jiang murmured unknowingly: "You people just want to be taken care of by others. What's the use of being so weak? Look at you like this, you must be the family members of the Kyoto public!" The two women looked at the young and handsome samurai who looked like a man and a woman, but was full of foul language, and they were so frightened that they didn't know how to react. Songjiang asked them again: "Is that so?" They nodded hastily, sobbing uncontrollably. "Don't cry, what's the use of crying? It can't solve the problem. Since I saved you, I will naturally take care of you. Let's go!" Song Jiang hugged them from left to right and helped them onto the embankment, and put them both on horses: "Hurry up! Don't fall!" He hurried back to the camp.
These two were Meixiaolu Zhongnayan who died in the city with Tokudaiji Dai Nayan and the wife of Major General Tangqiao.At that time, Emperor Go Nara was living in poverty, and even had to sell the imperial calligraphy for money to make ends meet, not to mention other courtiers.The Meixiaolu family and the Tangqiao family are distant relatives of the Dedaiji family. When Dedaiji went to Fangshengjin to seek refuge in Hatakeyama, they did not invite them to go with them. Song Jiang took the two back to the camp and stayed in his room to talk about their experiences.Although Songjiang is as strong as a man, but emotionally as fragile as a woman, she started to cry as she listened: "It's been less than half a year since you've been here, but your family has been ruined, what a pity!" As soon as Songjiang cried, the two of them cried even harder, and the three women cried together. They looked alike, both very slender and frail looking.Although she is a little old, she still has the beauty of twilight, and she has the feeling of a noble lady in the capital at first glance.Because they were so similar, Songjiang couldn't help asking, and they were indeed sisters.Mrs. Mei Xiaolu is the elder sister, she is forty-one years old, and Mrs. Tangqiao is forty. When Matsue suffered the same tragic fate for their sisters and couldn't help shedding tears, Mrs. Umekoji suddenly asked, "Can you send us to Kakizaki in Echigo?" Matsue, who originally intended to take care of the sisters, was a little unhappy when he heard this, and immediately asked rudely, "What are you doing in Kakizaki? Are there any acquaintances there?" The two were stunned by her sudden change of attitude, and said timidly: "Both of our daughters are at the house of Lord Kakizaki and Izumi Morokage." "Really? In this case, I should send you there, but..." Matsue wanted to ask what their daughter was doing with Yajiro Kakizaki, but suddenly remembered the past and shut up quickly. She remembered that seven or eight years ago, Wei Jing bought two beauties from Kyoto and gave them to Kakizaki, making him win the battle by defecting. "Oh my God! Are those two beauties from Kyoto their daughters?" Songjiang looked at the two women carefully, not knowing whether it was a chance encounter or sadness. Mrs. Meixiaolu said: "When we left Beijing, we wanted to live in Fangshengjin for a while, and we were going to Kakizaki. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If we had gone earlier..." And wept again. "We're sorry for our daughters, we don't have the face to see them, but mother and daughter love each other, and we always want to see them again, that's why we're trying to survive and want to go out of the city..." Mrs. Tangqiao also began to cry. "Okay! I'll send you to Kakizaki, but wait a moment." Song Jiang went to Wei Jing's room and explained what had happened in detail, Wei Jing couldn't help being shocked.He only heard Songjiang say: "I'll bring them to see you!" Without waiting for Weijing to agree or not, he brought the two wives here.
