Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Beauty undercover

In the spring of the fourth year of Yonglu, Okazaki Castle is filled with the long-lost fragrance of white and red plums. Eight months have passed since the city lord Matsudaira Yuanyasu was welcomed back.Okazaki people's clothes are neat and tidy now, which is not comparable to what they used to be. It's not all because the rice grains that have been confiscated by the Junfu people for more than ten years have finally begun to nourish them.After the news of Yuan Yasushi's return to Okazaki Castle came out, all kinds of ships came to the city through the Yaha River and the Yingsheng River, and made great deals, and Okazaki Castle gradually regained its vitality and prosperity.

The people who had been trying to hide their food before were finally relieved.Torii Iga Shou donated the gold, silver and food accumulated over the years to repair the castle.The battlements have been repaired everywhere, the stone walls have also been restored, and the roof of the main entrance is also very impressive.The city took on a new look, and immediately became the pride of the people, attracting more and more merchants to trade, and the market gradually prospered. With the restoration of the buildings in the main city, Chifotang Garden, Erdao City, Dongcheng City, and Sandao City, the atmosphere in the city is gradually active and bright, as if the world has changed.At this time, Okazaki people ushered in the first spring after the reunification.

Led by the young city lord, a new personnel arrangement was made. The heads of each family happily retreated from the front line, and Sakai Tadashi, Ishikawa Iesari, Ishikawa Kazumasa, and Uemura Ietsu were appointed as the new elders.Of course, this kind of arrangement is not decided by the elders, the young city lord dominates everything, and the elders are the advisers beside the city lord.But right now there are two envoys that are quite troublesome for the young city lord and these counselors.One was naturally from Imagawa Ujima, and the other was sent by Hime Sena who stayed in Sumfu with Takechiyo and Agui.

The envoy sent by Shizhen reprimanded in a questioning tone: "You have entered Okazaki City without authorization and have not reported to Junfu for a long time. How unbecoming!" Facing this accusation, Yuan Kang replied: "If we don't enter Okazaki Castle, the Owari Army will not only capture Mikawa, but also Suruga and Tone. If you think it’s okay for the Oda Army to go to Sufu, we can withdraw from Okazaki at any time. Please tell Ujima-sama if." The envoy's tone suddenly softened a lot: "It's really well-intentioned to stop the Oda army here! But I still invite you to go to Junfu to discuss with the generals and work together to defend Okazaki Castle."

Yuan Kang shook his head, and immediately refused: "Shunfu probably has a shortage of manpower at this time, and we can no longer let a mere Okazaki Castle hold back the troops. I, Yuankang, alone can withstand the attack of the Oda Army, please rest assured Junfu!" He didn't care that Shi really interfered. But the envoy sent by his wife could not be easily dismissed.Sena Hime's letter was written with sincerity.She said that since she broke up with Yuan Kang, she has just deeply realized how important her husband is to her.She asked Yuan Kang to go back anyway.She also said that she would negotiate with Shizhen.If she can't get along with Yuan Kang, she will go crazy.After reading these words, the strong Yuan Kang couldn't help being a little moved.

Sena Ji sent another secret envoy.This time, it was a retainer from Sekiguchi's family, Hime Sena's family, who brought a heavy letter box. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, after Yuan Kang paid homage to the ancestors' spiritual tablets in the Buddha Hall, he walked and admired the snow-white plum blossoms in full bloom in the wine valley, when he suddenly heard the envoy's affectionate voice: "Hey, my lord Tibetan! I am sent by my wife." After the messenger finished speaking, he looked at the surrounding scenery carelessly.Probably he had already been to Sakai Yalesuke's house, because Yalesuke's attendants followed him. "This city is so majestic! Madam probably didn't expect Okazaki to be so majestic. She has been looking forward to your lord's return to Junfu, but if she sees Okazaki, she will immediately fall in love with it."

This servant of Sekiguchi Shinaga named Kosugi did not introduce himself because he was familiar with Yuanyasu since Takechiyo was ridiculed as "Mikawa wild species".Yuan Kang couldn't help smiling wryly.He could clearly feel the prejudice of Junfu people including Sena Hime revealed by this person. Sena Hime believes that there is no better place in this world than Junfu. In her opinion, everything outside Junfu is a "wild land".Perhaps in her impression, the city of Okazaki is equivalent to the homes of the rural people in Shunfu.Therefore, although she repeatedly expressed her love and longing for Yuan Kang in the letter, she never mentioned Okazaki.

Don't stay in that kind of place, come back to Junfu, come back to me—Senahime's words deeply hurt Yuan Yasu's self-esteem, and now he feels the same contempt from the messenger's words.If it was Nobunaga, he would definitely show his power at this time and overwhelm the opponent, but Yuan Kang's character is completely opposite to him. "No, this is just an insignificant small town. Please follow me." Yuan Kang led the envoy, deliberately bypassing the main gate, and entered the city through the side entrance.Moreover, he did not lead the envoy into the hall, but walked along the long and narrow corridor into the lounge of the small academy.

"It's amazing. Make sure your wife sees all of this." Xiaoshan kept marveling.The reason why he said this was probably because Sena Hime once said that she hated living in Okazaki Castle. Maybe she would say that if she lived in Okazaki Castle, she might as well die, which might be more harsh than this. "First of all, congratulations to your lord for ushering in the new year." Entering the rest room, the messenger remembered to greet, and immediately handed the letter box to Yuan Kang. "Madam asked me to tell Sir that she hopes that Sir will return to Junfu one day earlier."

"You've worked hard. How are the kids?" "They are all healthy and lively, and they also hope that you can go back soon." When he saw Yuan Kang put Sena Ji's letter on the table, he seemed uncomfortable, and said: "Please read it immediately, Madam asked you to reply." Yuan Kang ignored him, pushed the letter box aside gently, and asked lightly: "Why, isn't Master Shi Zhen planning to take revenge?" "I'm not sure, but Master Shizhen doesn't like to fight an eye for an eye." "If that's the case, there's nothing more—"

"Lord Yuan Kang!" The messenger's expression suddenly became serious, "With all due respect, this matter cannot be settled here." "Will you take revenge?" "No, I mean madam." Yuan Kang seemed a little lonely looking outside.The warm morning sun shone through the windows, and the chirping of warblers wafted through the chilly air of early spring. "Samurai with iron bones probably can't understand women's subtle thoughts. For example, the lady of Miura Yoshiya went out to catch fireflies with the person she admired. In the dark, the hands of the two touched. When she gently brought her cheeks together When it got into the hands of the other party, because they smelled a different fragrance, they separated from that person." "Oh." "A man who fell in love with the lady accidentally dropped the pickles from the chopsticks during dinner, and he picked up the pickles with his hands... and the lady immediately saw through his upbringing. It is the nobility of a young lady." When Yuan Kang heard this, he stopped looking at the other person's face, pretended to be watching the scenery, and nodded. "Madam is very sensitive. And the young master is more amorous than before." "Is Shi really an adult?" "Yes. My lord often sent people to visit my wife during my time at home. Madam missed Lord Yuankang, and in my heart..." "Oh, did Madam tell you this herself?" Yuan Kang asked softly, "She can't face Master Shizhen's love directly, so she hopes that I will go back soon, is that so?" "Ah, that's right." The messenger stammered. "Go back and tell Madam, for me, Yuan Yasushi, the most important thing is loyalty. If I abandon Okazaki Castle now, Oda's army will immediately attack Junfu. I, Yuan Yasushi, decided to stick to this place and block their attack. " "Is... is this true?" Yuan Kang nodded emphatically, "Fulfilling the duty of loyalty is a very hard work." The messenger looked at Yuan Kang silently, as if he wanted to say something, but he moved his lips and fell silent again.Yuan Kang urged: "What else?" "There is one more thing. Madam thinks there must be other women around the lord, so let me check carefully." "Oh, thank you very much." Yuan Kang tactfully reversed the subject, "I am grateful for her kindness. But I am not dissatisfied now. Tell her not to worry." "My lord said that there is no dissatisfaction, which means..." "If I express my dissatisfaction, Madam may choose one of the maids of the Junfu to send over. I am currently busy with military affairs and have no time to take care of women. Go back and tell Madam that I am grateful to her, but this kind of kindness cannot be accepted." After Yuan Kang finished speaking, he suddenly changed the subject, and asked sharply in an indisputable tone: "When are you going back?" The messenger suddenly didn't know what to do.The mission entrusted to him by Sena Hime has not yet been completed.He didn't want to return to Junfu without finding out whether there were other women around Yuankang.If Yuan Kang had a woman, then Senaji would not intend to abandon Di Zhen's infatuation - she ordered the messenger to threaten Yuan Kang like this. "Leave in one day, Lord Yuankang." "What else do you need?" "If you go back like this, Madam will definitely be worried." "If it is about women, I have already answered it just now." "Then, madam may not be able to refuse the young master's infatuation..." "As I said, the word loyalty is very cruel." "My lord's loyalty...does it mean that the young lord can do nothing for the lord? Do you want my wife to learn to be patient?" "You don't have to understand. Tell Madam, she will understand..." The envoy thought that Yuan Kang was going to say something embarrassing him again, so he panicked. "I'm really envious. My lord has a wife who even misses the young master." "I had a dream recently." "Meet the lady?" "No, I dreamed of a huge toad chasing me." "Adults really know how to joke..." "No, it's true. It was chasing me closely, wishing to swallow me in one bite. That toad has a big appetite, not only me, it also wants to swallow my city and retainers. You probably haven't done this dream?" The envoy opened his mouth wide in astonishment, he knew that he would not be Yuan Kang's opponent in terms of tongue. "Then I will tell Madam exactly what you said." After finishing speaking, he staggered as if being chased by something, and retreated under the guidance of his servants. Just that night.Yuan Kang met a woman for the first time after leaving Junfu. There are hardly any women in this city.Some veterans also suggested that Yuan Kang find a woman to take care of daily life, but Yuan Kang ignored it.Right now, he is busy repairing the city, besides, Sena Hime is guarding a vacant room in Junfu alone, so it is not the time to find a woman.But Sena Hime's envoys and letters made Yuan Kang inexplicably excited.When he was eleven years old, he saw the scene of Sena Hime and Ujima making love under the cherry blossom tree, which suddenly appeared in his mind inconceivably, so real, so unforgettable. At night, Yuan Kang walked to Sandao City.Carrying the meal for the Buddha, he went to the residence of his stepmother, Mrs. Tianyuan, Huaqingyuan, and wanted to talk to her stepmother.There were two maids serving the banquet, one of whom was Ke Ni who often came to this city to wash Yuan Kang's laundry. "My lord, it's probably inconvenient to live alone. If there is someone you like, you can choose one to go." Mrs. Hua Qingyuan waited for the two maids to go down to prepare the meal, and persuaded them lightly.Although she was only in her thirties, her ten-year widowhood could wipe away a woman's sense of shame.Her natal Toda family was exterminated by Junfu because they betrayed Yuanyasu, who was supposed to be sent to Junfu, to Owari.Since then, she has no future and no direction, and she just stays in a corner of Okazaki Castle, quietly watching this ever-changing world. "Youth is short. Excessive restraint is not good for your health. In short, you can pick the one you like and take it away." She probably didn't know that the Toda family betrayed Yuan Kang. She just wanted to try her best to persuade Yuan Kang, hoping to be with him He lived in harmony—that sense of loneliness, which could be felt deeply in her speech and manner. Normally, Yuan Kang might be furious, but that night he asked: "Mother, what is a woman like? If a man is not around, will she be in pain?" "Well," Hua Qingyuan replied with a dazed expression, "I think they might go crazy... It's harder to control than a bird wanting to mate, or a cat thinking about spring. If the two maids just now If they are not allowed to touch men, they will definitely commit infidelity." "yes?" "It seems that you are more to your taste, she always says she likes you." At this moment, you came up with the meal and put the food in front of Mrs. Hua Qingyuan. "But you, do you like adults?" "Ah?" But you couldn't react for a while, and turned to Yuan Kang in surprise.Eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman.The skin is fair and the body is plump, like the buds of a gardenia, exuding wild charm and health. "Your favorite city lord is here, pour the bar for the city lord!" "Yes." She answered and poured wine, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, obviously understanding the meaning of Mrs. Hua Qingyuan's words. "I'm begging the city lord right now. Since you love the city lord, I hope you can be favored by the city lord." "Ah." But you couldn't help covering your face with your sleeves.Another maid, Ah Xiao, also came in.Yuan Kang looked at it inadvertently, and felt that Ah Xiao's skin was more delicate. "But you, madam has told me just now, do you really like me?" "Yes Yes." "How much do you like it? There is no need for a woman to like me alone, as long as she is a man." But you raised your head in astonishment, and stared at Yuan Kang mournfully.Then, she stood up in a panic and went to hold the flagon.Looking at the back of Ke Ni, Yuan Kang thought of a few words in Sena Hime's letter: "My lord must have shared the bed with other women. Sigh to the moon, who knows if I go crazy?" If Sena Hime forgets her dissatisfaction in the letter and just expresses concern for Yuan Kang, Yuan Kang will undoubtedly not be shaken.But the reality is just the opposite.She stubbornly believed that there were other women around Yuan Kang.What was it that made her stubborn?Obviously, it was because Hime Sena had a similar experience.Yuan Kang couldn't help feeling a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart. Mrs. Hua Qingyuan seems to have seen through Yuan Kang's heart, and keeps asking Ke Ni to pour wine for Yuan Kang.When Yuan Kang got up to go to the toilet, she ordered Ke You to say: "You lead the city lord to go." "Yes." But your voice was crisp, and you immediately stood up holding a candle.The two turned to the porch, the moonlight filled the partition, it was so bright and clear that there was no need for candles to illuminate the way. "But you, have you ever had contact with a man before?" "No!" But your cheeks turned red, and you retorted excitedly, shaking your head frequently. "Open the partition. The moonlight is good tonight." "yes." "Extinguish the candles. It looks like it's snowing outside, and it's all white." "Isn't the city owner afraid of catching a cold? It's very cold outside." "But you, you turned your face to the moon. That's it. You really look like a fairy!" But you obediently looked up at the moon, and she felt her body tremble instinctively. "The flowers on the branches, the moon in the sky, and you on the ground." "City Master, is it alright?" "No no, stay a little longer and let me see." "Yes Yes." Yuan Kang clearly saw the light in Ke You's eyes, she was longing for caress.The charm and fear on her lips made the fire in Yuan Kang's chest burn more vigorously. Women are by no means always lustful like Sena.Under the strong and capable appearance of Iio Toyomae's wife, Mrs. Kira, people can also feel patience and duty.And Ke You in front of her is obedient like a slave, so docile and delicate, as if she will melt immediately as soon as she reaches out to hug her. "Okay." Yuan Kang said, "Stop joking, take me to the bathroom." But you were very surprised.She thought Yuan Kangding would hug her. "But you." Yuan Kang's voice suddenly became serious: "Who ordered you to dedicate your body to me?" Hearing Yuan Kang's stern questioning, your shoulders trembled. "But you, I'm drunk..." Yuan Kang said as he walked quietly to the toilet, "It can be seen from your pale face looking at the moon that you have never met a man." "Yes." But your voice trembled, and she carefully held the extinguished candle. "You were ordered to serve Mrs. Hua Qingyuan, right?" "Yes Yes." "Also, in order to get close to me, you deliberately told Mrs. Hua Qingyuan that you liked me? Don't be afraid, I'm not blaming you." "..." "Ms. Hua Qingyuan is a good person, she believed your words easily, and specially arranged for you to change my clothes, but when you were serving me, you gradually fell in love with me." Yuan Kang came to the conclusion gently, but your lips moved , noncommittal. "I know that you have no intention of harming others in your heart, that's why you look so cute... But in that way, you are very pitiful." "..." "Do you understand the reason? If I possess your body, you will be the only one who suffers, because you want to keep a secret from me, and you have to endure the torment in your heart at all times. So, before you tell me the secret, let yourself I won't touch you until I'm happy. It's for you." "City Lord!" Ke You suddenly threw himself in front of Yuan Kang and knelt down on the ground, "I confess to you. I confess to you. Please forgive me!" "You want to talk?" "The one who ordered me was Takikawa Kazuyoshi, the general of the Oda family." "Who is your father?" "It's the retainer Akutsuzaemon." Motoyasu quietly put his hands on Ke Ni's shoulders.But you raised your head and looked deeply at Yuan Kang, your teeth were as white as pearls, and your innocent heart was fully revealed, no matter what you asked, she would never hide anything. "What did he order you to do?" "Monitor the daily life of the city lord and report to him directly." "Report your daily routine directly to him?" "Yes. He said that he still can't judge the strength and character of the city lord, so he asked me to report your every word and deed to him..." "Oh." "He also said that even if the city lord finds out, a persevering person like the city lord will not kill me. If you are found out, just tell the truth and apologize on the spot. City lord, please forgive me! Also, please forgive me Put it next to you..." Yuan Kang put his hands on his shoulders, deeply wrinkling his hair.Why Kazuyoshi Takigawa ordered this little girl left countless mysteries in Yuan Kang's mind.He suddenly pushed the girl away. "Do you really think, I won't kill you? Don't lie." "No, I didn't lie." But your body collapsed on Yuan Kang's lap, "He said that I should not only be an internal response, because the city lord might feel lonely, so he asked me to serve him wholeheartedly." "Who said that? Takigawa Kazumashi?" "Yes. He said that the castellan might not let Junfu's wife come to Okazaki Castle. He said that you will join hands with Mr. Nobunaga sooner or later, so I will treat you as my master and serve you wholeheartedly." "Wait!" Yuan Kang stopped suddenly.The flame of desire that was burning just now was suddenly extinguished.Who is Kazuyoshi Takigawa?No, this is by no means a wisdom that benefits only one person, it must be manipulated by Nobunaga behind the scenes.Even so, he was still a little surprised, he didn't expect to hear Nobunaga's true intention so clearly here. This is true that you are not just a spy.Nobunaga and Yiyi took advantage of this girl's innocence. In this sense, this girl is their new weapon. "Ke You," after a while, Yuan Kang gently removed his hand from Ke You's shoulder and sat down behind her. "Come here. I already understand your sincerity. Yuan Kang likes your innocent heart." "Yes Yes." "You tell Kazuyoshi Takigawa directly, how hateful I, Yuan Yasu, and how cute I want to be." "Citadel! I have clearly—" "You already said that?" But you struggled to put your hands on Yuan Kang's chest.Her emotions were burning hotly, and the fragrance from her hair seemed to tremble. "City Lord, my father sent me a letter." "What did you say?" "He said that since you can arouse my admiration, you must be a brave, considerate and impeccable general. Kazuyoshi Takikawa will come to Okazaki Castle as an envoy from Kiyosu to talk about the alliance in the near future. Father may also come with you , so he asked me to serve you wholeheartedly from now on..." Yuan Kang hugged Ke Mi and looked up at the moon.The envoy sent by the Oda clan to form an alliance will determine his fate.How much he looked forward to that day.Because his wife was held as a hostage in Junfu, Yuan Kang couldn't take the initiative to send an envoy to letter to Zhang Chu, and he was always worried about it. Yuan Kang suddenly bent down and gently kissed Ke Mi's ear.In addition to Yiyi, there is another messenger who is now lying in Yuan Kang's arms. "But you..." "Ok." "You are a messenger of innocence. Since you have confessed to me without reservation, I will love you without reservation. Come, stand up, and follow me." But your little hand held by Yuan Kang was burning like a flame. When she stood up, she almost fell down.Yuan Kang gently supported Ke Ni's crumbling body, and gently kissed her ear.
