Chapter 4 Chapter Four: Wolves and Embarrassments

Okazaki Castle built a mountain palace. Since May, the rainy season has continued, and the green trees in the courtyard are flourishing day by day, pressing heavily on the eaves.Sena Hime stared at the little raindrops dripping from the eaves. "Do you understand my pain?" Her voice was very low, as if choked with sobs, "My tears are like the recent rainy season, and they never stop. My lord, he..." Sitting in front of Hime Sena was Yashiro Ohgami who was appointed as a surveyor this spring.Among the tough Okazaki people, only this Yashiro has a slender physique, like a Noh performer.He was promoted from an ashigaru samurai to a surveyor because Ieyasu saw that he was not only good at settling accounts, but also very conscientious.

"Every day's income and expenses have to go through your hands... No, I have no dissatisfaction. I heard that in Hamamatsu City, even Awan, who used to be my maid, has a residence and is favored..." A puzzled look appeared on Yashiro's fair face.He had to agree. "The Tokuhime of this city disrespects me and turns a blind eye to me. The retainers think that I am a member of the Imagawa clan and alienate me. If there is no young master, I might have..." Compared with Mrs. Tsukiyama and Mrs. Nohime of Gifu Castle, there is a big difference.At some point, she no longer regards Ieyasu as a life and death partner, but seems to regard him as an inherent enemy.Now, the only one who can seriously listen to Hime Sena's nonsense is Yashiro who often brings daily expenses here.

"Yashiro, what do you think of the nearest adult?" "You mean..." "Is he still in control of Mikawa and Yuanjiang? Isn't he a retainer of Oda?" Yashiro lowered his head and did not make a sound. "I heard that my lord was forced to follow Oda to attack Echizen this spring, and managed to escape back to the capital. I will return to Hamamatsu on the 18th of this month. I heard that he has ordered to go out again." Sena Hime said here, cautiously Looking around, "As long as I can take Oda's life, even if I reduce my daily expenses, I must send troops to Mino, Omi... Yashiro, we haven't reduced expenses yet, have we?"

"You mean..." "Oda is our old enemy. For revenge, even if we are frugal... Ah, ah!" Yashiro has long heard that Senahime is prone to epilepsy when she is emotional.At this time she suddenly bent down, looking very painful, Yashiro quickly jumped over to caress her back in surprise. "Ah... come here! Ma'am, she..." He shouted in a panic, but was stopped by Sena Hime. "Don't...don't call someone. Ah..." Shu Mingji gritted her teeth tightly and shook her head. Yashiro hesitated.Probably because of the unbearable pain, Sena Hime tightly grasped his wrist with both hands, pressing the painful place. "Put harder...more force."

"Yes... yes. Is it here?" "A little more to the left. Ah, I can't see, I can't breathe... Yashiro, push harder." Yashiro trembled all over.He neither exerted force nor let go of his hand.Thirty-year-old woman, plump skin is cold.If the other party wasn't the lord's wife, he might not be so terrified.He also has a wife. Although her appearance is not comparable to that of Sena Hime, she is not as cold and smooth as she is, so chilling. Yashiro sighed.He was born in a family of ashigaru samurai, and when he went hunting, he carried a quiver or dry food for Ieyasu and followed him.For some reason, Ieyasu quickly discovered Yashiro, transferred him to the kitchen, and promoted him to work under the construction supervisor.Later, Yashiro was rated as the number one in the feudal clan because of his ability to calculate, and was promoted to survey and determination, with five retainers and eighty stone territories.

Because of this, the protagonist Ieyasu is supreme in the eyes of Yashiro.Yashiro felt terrified when he thought that the woman in front of him was Ieyasu's wife. "Yashiro...why don't you use your strength? Do you also despise me because I am a member of the Imagawa clan..." "No, absolutely not. Is it here..." "Oh, try harder..." Sena Hime was sweating, and almost stopped breathing in pain.But whenever Yashiro wanted to call someone, she always stopped him, "Ah, it's finally better..." She breathed a long sigh of relief, but didn't let go of Yashiro's hand, "Yashiro... I This disease is all because of the Lord."

Yashiro was even more frightened.Under the reflection of the green leaves, the bloodless face looked like a dead person. "Now, adults probably feel it too..." "..." "Is Oda the only general in the world? There are also Hojo from Odawara and Takeda from Kai. My lord will soon be wiped out by one of them. At that time, I will laugh at him loudly." "lady……" "Now you finally understand how he tortured me, right? You understand why he took Awan away, right? That woman is extremely lecherous, but she was expelled by me." Yashiro couldn't help but quietly withdrew his hand.He didn't expect that Ieyasu, whom he respected like a god, would be so abused and cursed by his wife that his hair stood on end.In his opinion, Senahime's curse was not just out of jealousy.

Is the lord the kind of person who is so cruel to his wife?No, absolutely not.Madam must have misunderstood the lord.How can this misunderstanding be cleared up... At this time, Sena Ji began to cry: "Ya Shiro, you are the only one who doesn't dislike me. Why did you withdraw your hand?" "No...the villain doesn't mean to stop..." "No, you want to stop. If you think my fate is miserable, hug me, hug me, a woman who was abandoned by her husband and retainers." She said to herself like a child, with black hair drift. Yashiro was inexplicably sad.His wife was born in poverty, but this woman who he thought was extremely happy turned out to be sad.Senahime held his hands tightly, still embarrassing him.It didn't matter if she was still in pain, but she didn't seem to be in pain anymore.Even so, Senahime still tightly wrapped Yashiro's hands, and the entanglement became tighter and tighter.She leaned on Yashiro miserably and pitifully.

"Madam, the villain still has some errands to do, otherwise today will be delayed. I'll call someone over for you." "Yashiro! Please kill me." Yashiro was so shocked that he almost jumped up. "What did Madame say? What absurdity." "I want to die. It's better to die than to live like this." Sena Hime leaned her face on Yashiro's wrist, and wept again.Her words were not all lies.From daily expenses to what Ieyasu did, she felt a rush of blood rushing to her forehead.She seemed to see the scene where Ieyasu and Awan were like glue.Every time she thought about it, her breathing seemed to stop suddenly, and her body immediately convulsed violently.

The lust of a thirty-year-old woman, coupled with jealousy, will undoubtedly drive a person into a frenzy at once.At this time, she will curse all women and yearn for all men.Yashiro's misfortune is that he appeared when Senahime yearned for a man the most. "Yashiro, kill me..." Sena Hime had no time to consider the other party's feelings.She has lost her mind, only the instinct of not letting go of a man is left. "Come on, kill me. Don't say no, Yashiro..." Her left hand was still wrapped around Yashiro, and her right hand was already on his shoulder. Yashiro could only look up at the roof.Suddenly, the masculine instinct in him spewed out...

The animal nature hidden deep in the human heart is like a torrent of flood, the more it is blocked, the more frenzied it becomes.This is neither Sena Hime's fault nor Ohg Yashiro's fault.Of course, it would be grossly untrue to attribute the blame to Ieyasu who was about to return to Hamamatsu Castle.Just as Nobunaga was thinking about how to avenge his shame, Ieyasu is now thinking hard about how to defeat the coalition forces of Asakura and Asai. On the sixth day of May, Ieyasu returned to the capital from Kanazaki, and returned to Hamamatsu on May 18th. After returning, he did not go to Sena Hime, which made Sena Hime's morbid jealousy even more frenzied.But Ieyasu will only stay in Hamamatsu for a short time, and he will send troops to Omi within a month, so he needs to prepare food and horses, and he has no leisure time. Yashiro once took Senahime's right hand away from his shoulder, but finally embraced her frantically in his arms.At this time, Senahime is no longer Ieyasu's wife, nor Xinyasu's mother, but a lustful woman, wishing to swallow the man named Yashiro in front of her.If she had a semblance of rationality, she might control it a little. "Yashiro... Do you want me to die? You have seen my frenzy, do I still have the face to live..." "Ma'am! Please forgive me... please forgive me!" "No. Come on, kill me..." Her wrists wrapped around Yashiro's neck again. The raindrops on the green leaves sprinkled quietly to the ground, gently enveloping the woman's frantic hands.It wasn't Yashiro's intention, but he eventually succumbed to the woman's lust.They hug each other tightly.None of them are guilty.This is the test of the gods for the fatal weakness of human beings.Some people passed the test, and some people did not pass, so their future fate was distinguished. After a long time, Seina Hime finally let go of her hand. After the storm, the first thing that comes to mind is the two hateful words "fornication". Sena Hime secretly glanced at Yashiro.He didn't dare to look up, and still knelt down on the floor.Shame, terror, and despair all rushed into his heart.Everything has happened and one should of course justify himself. "Yashiro...you are not wrong, it is not our fault, it is all adults. My lord...only allow him to do this often." Sena Hime leaned on Yashiro again, and quietly put her hands on his shoulders. Although Yashiro knelt on the floor, he did not cry.In the face of the test of the gods, he failed, and he faced a new life choice.How will you treat your wife in the future? The lord is superior, but the lord's wife is no different from his wife, and Yashiro feels a little pleasure of conquering in the daze and panic.Before that, Ieyasu was like a god, which made him dare not look up.But now through Sena Hime, he feels that he is one step closer to Ieyasu; but at the same time, he thinks this kind of thinking is unforgivable, and his mind is in a mess—Sena Hime who desperately curses Ieyasu, and himself who worships Ieyasu infinitely, has now degenerated into A pair of adulterers.No, can't it be understood as a hint from the gods that Ieyasu and I are also men? "Yashiro, why don't you talk? Don't you hate Sena too?" Sena Hime's voice changed completely. In the eyes of Yashiro, Sena Hime was the second only to Ieyasu's daimyo's wife, and he was so overwhelmed that he could not breathe.Now, she has become as pitiful and weak as his wife... Yashiro's wife is the daughter of the ashigaru samurai Kongo Tazaemon, known as Komachi girl. When they got married in the cramped ashigaru samurai residence, the old people praised the woman named Asong as a cute doll.Mr. Asomatsu said to Yashiro: "You will definitely be able to stand out in the future." Whenever Yashiro gets a promotion, Asatsu will warn him: "Don't let your relatives and friends alienate you. Be like ears of rice, the more mature you are, the more humble you are - please don't forget." Although Yashiro now has a small territory, Asong still personally operates the well mortar.So she doesn't have slender fingers, and her skin can't compare with Sena Hime's.But Sena Hime's voice was the same as Asatsu... Yashiro couldn't help being stunned.What should I do if this kind of fornication gets to Jiakang's ears? "Yashiro, talk to me." Senahime's voice became lower and lower, and even began to tremble.She quietly pressed her lips to Yashiro's skirt.Yashiro's noble fragrance, which he had never noticed before, suddenly penetrated into his nostrils.He couldn't even lift his head up. When he raised his head, it was when Yashiro made a new life choice.Whether to continue to betray the lord and live in fear, or to choose another life path bravely without minding his indiscriminate behavior... For Yashiro, this is almost a life-and-death choice. After a long time, Yashiro stood up quietly without expression on his face, without looking at Hime Sena. "Why are you so indifferent?" Hime Sena couldn't bear it anymore and asked.Yashiro didn't answer, he turned his face to look at the wet green leaves outside, and slowly paced back and forth.He has decided.To start a new life. "Ma'am." Yashiro looked at Hime Sena and sat down again, "How will you treat Yashiro from now on?" "Yashiro, don't look at me so scary. It's all Ieyasu's fault." "I don't want to discuss who is right and who is wrong. If I have to discuss it, then the lady is a woman who has an affair with her retainers, and I, Yashiro, am an unfaithful person who has an affair with the mistress." "Stop talking! No one will see all this, so just bury what happened today in our hearts." "Is this Madam's plan?" "Other than that, there is no other way." "Then, I would like to borrow Madam's courtyard." "What are you going to do in this rainy day?" "Seppuku suicide." Yashiro's voice was so cold that even he was surprised, "Madame's words are really chilling. No one saw all this? But my conscience, Yashiro, is suffering like a fire. It is better to take the initiative to commit suicide to apologize to him than to kill him." "Yashiro! Are you so afraid of him? Isn't he also promiscuous and misbehaving?" "Madam. I am not afraid of my lord, but I am chilled by your words." "My words chill you?" "Yes. Although this matter is caused by Madam, Yashiro does not hate you. I am also at fault... A samurai, since he has committed such an unforgivable mistake, should simply commit suicide by harakiri. But Madam does not seem to understand, You still don't understand my feelings, and I feel chilled because of this. If Yashiro commits suicide, no one in the world will know about me and you." "So... are you going to cut my belly for me?" "Yes. Please allow me to fulfill my righteousness." When Yashiro said this, his heart was greatly shaken.In the past, he couldn't clearly say what he wanted to say, but now, he can blurt out what he never thought of.They were equal, did he feel psychologically equal to Sena Hime, or did Sena Hime condescend to cater to him? "Ya Shiro, you think too much." Sena Hime seemed to be a different person, weeping silently, "I don't think you are unfaithful. I cannot allow you to commit suicide. Since you can die for me, Sena, then Live for me. I want you to live. I give you my all." The rain is still beating the green leaves.There is silence in the city, only the sunlight above the dark clouds can make people feel the passage of time. "Ma'am, are you not against your will?" Yashiro stared at Senahime coldly. "What is against my will? I have already..." Yashiro fell silent again.He couldn't believe that a committed woman could suddenly be so vulnerable.The first person she committed herself to was the lord Ieyasu.But now she cursed Ieyasu instead, so that she took the initiative to tease the retainers.This is not cowardly, this is extremely powerful, so strong that even Ieyasu is helpless! So, why did this woman show such a weak posture?Is it because the conscience has been condemned?No!Yashiro didn't feel the slightest regret from her, she actually said "no one saw this".Yes, what she fears is only the sanction of the lord, only fear of violence.Thinking of this, Yashiro's mind became calmer. "Let me follow your plan, first give up the idea of ​​suicide by seppuku." "That's it. How could I lie to you?" "However," Yashiro lowered his voice, "Madam, if you change your mind, then Yashiro will confess to the lord and commit suicide." This sentence pierced Senahime's heart like a sharp knife, and it was a great threat.But she has no heart to listen to these.Hungry for the opposite sex drives her mad. "Do you think I look like a woman who is easily changed? Say all those sad things..." I don't know if it was because she was relieved, or the fire of desire hidden in her heart was burning again, Senahime suddenly leaned on Yashiro again. "Yashiro..." She made a passionate voice, and hugged him tightly to his chest. Compared with his own wife, Yashiro thinks Senahime's gentleness is more charming.But he suddenly felt so angry that he even had a strong urge to trample this woman under his feet, curse and whip her as he pleased.This probably comes from his anger and confusion about his suddenly changed life. He forgot that he was Ieyasu's retainer, and that Sena Hime was the wife of the lord he admired, and suddenly he turned into a wild bull, insulting Sena Hime's body.What kind of devastating consequences this incident will lead to is beyond imagination.This is probably the seed removed when the gods tested humans. Faced with Yashiro's brutality, Sena Hime is as docile as a kitten... After walking out of the Tsukiyama Palace, Ohgaya Yashiro found that his mood was completely different from when he was serving Senahime, and he felt incredible.Before, Mrs. Tsukiyama was the most difficult person to deal with in Okazaki Castle.One could not stay for a moment in the presence of this mad woman.But today, right in front of her, she gave everything and became an ordinary woman who only knew how to cry.And yesterday, she was still majestically over Yashiro.How will Yashiro face her tomorrow?He felt that he could issue orders to Hime Sena. He walked out of the gate of the Tsukiyama Palace under the guidance of the maid, and felt that his chest was much higher than before.It wasn't just these things that surprised him.On the way home in the rain, he found that the surrounding scenery had changed.The majestic city gate and the white arrow warehouse seem to have become smaller, bending over and curling up there.Could it be that his temperament has undergone a fundamental change because he can scold the protagonist's woman? Back in the city, Hisamatsu Sado Mamoru was already waiting in the hall, telling him that Xinkang had been waiting for a long time. Even in front of Hisamatsu Sado Mamoru, Yashiro no longer felt humbled as usual. "Got it." He answered clearly.The feeling of cautiousness and trepidation in the past was completely gone. The boy Shinyasu was sitting in the hall, behind him was a huge Yamato-e painting of Mount Wakakusa in Nara.Yashiro knelt down in front of him. "The villain is back. Madame asked me to greet you, son. I hope you are happy and healthy." Mishiro couldn't help laughing.He didn't know why, probably because the majestic young man in front of him came from Sena Hime's belly, and he touched Sena Hime's body. "Yashiro. Father has an order. Listen carefully, and you must remember it." "yes." "Before the twenty-eighth of this month, prepare six hundred shi of rice and two hundred shi of fodder." "The villain remembered it." We are going to send troops to Omi again.Now Yashiro can be the first to know the military secrets, and... he couldn't help but want to laugh, and suddenly felt that Kang was very funny.The child sitting on it actually didn't understand anything, leaning on the table and wearing gorgeous clothes... All this is like a drama in the eyes of Yashiro today.He didn't realize that these thoughts were the precursors of the heart of rebellion. After leaving the main hall, Yashiro returned home with a smile while thinking. The rain is still beating the green leaves gently.
