Chapter 118 Day 7 (End)
"Hey, have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"The sky has changed in Kii recently! A guy who came out of nowhere has pacified the entire Kii country."
"Are you kidding me, Lord Nine Ghosts will just sit back and watch?"
"Who knows how those big shots discussed it...Anyway, a distant relative of mine came back from Jiyi a few days ago and said that the two sides have been deadlocked for a long time."
Similar words spread around along with Kii's dominance, and now Yasuhara Tokiha is no longer nestled in Wakayama to blow the cold wind. She moved her base camp to Ota Castle and became the new city lord.
What do you think of the fate of the old city lord Satake Yoshishige?
At that time, after facing the crazy attack of an unknown number of cavalry in the dark, the Satake army, which was not very morale, finally collapsed. During the war and escape, Satake Yoshishige and several of his retainers were captured by mistake and taken to the In front of Yasuhara Tokiha's horse.One of them was arrested together with Yoshikawa, who had been advising him to act cautiously before. As for Nishii Tosaburo, who liked to sing a different tune, he had long since fled without a trace.
"I regret not listening to Yoshikawa-kun's words." Satake Yoshishige said to the subordinate who had been admonishing him with shame on his face, and then looked up at the general who was riding on the horse, looking at him expressionlessly, "You are the cloud Masaru Kagawa, right?"
An Yuan maintained his arrogant personality, Gao Leng nodded, "Exactly."
"I didn't expect you and I to meet for the first time, it was such a scene... I think this time, Lord Yunge won't spare me, right?"
This thorny question made Yasuhara Tokiha silent for a while, and Hotaru next to him was a little anxious - this is a family that has been rooted here for hundreds of years, if they don't take this opportunity to wipe out the roots, and miss this opportunity, their strategy will be ruined folded.
Just when he was about to speak, San Riyue pulled the sleeve of the Otachi and whispered, "Let her make up her own mind."
——The little girl is as ruthless as anyone else.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time, the god judge said, "If I were defeated this time, would you spare me?"
Satake Yoshishige, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned for a moment, then laughed instead, "No."
He will embezzle the opponent's land and financial resources, recruit the opponent's talents and soldiers, hang the enemy's head on the city gate, and spread the glory of the Satake family throughout Kii.
"That's it." An Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, looking calm, "—but I will give you the last glory of a warrior."
Yoshihide Satake nodded emphatically, with the same expression as usual, as if what he heard was just an insignificant piece of news.
"In that case, Yizhong would like to thank Your Excellency."
This is also the first and last conversation between them.
After regaining Ota Castle, and joined forces with Kiyomitsu from Neraji Temple, almost half of Kii has fallen into her control except for a few coastal areas.This has reached the premise that the God Judge had previously agreed with Tsurumaru Kuninaga, and Yasuhara asked him to send a message to Lizi, and asked Lizi to convey her thoughts to Oda Nobutada.
Regardless of the reaction from the Oda family, Yasuhara Tokha almost ate Kii, but Kuki Yoshitaka and his Kumano navy still weighed on her heart like a boulder.
After all, no matter in terms of the number of fiefdoms or the navy, she couldn't compare to others—the big pirate was also a veteran of the two dynasties who had worked since the time of Oda Nobunaga.
not to mention……
After arriving at Ota Castle, Yasuhara Tokha faced the remaining retainers and clansmen of the Satake family, but instead of killing them all, he expelled them from Kii after confiscating all the land and assets.As for whether she will be approached by a young man for revenge ten years later - she feels that it is impossible for her to stay in this world for more than ten years, and she can commit suicide after playing a strategy game for so long without clearing the level. So I let him go without any worries.
Ota Castle at night is still peaceful, but the original Satake family crest banner on the top of the castle has been replaced by the colorful family crest she splashed casually, which makes people a little uncomfortable at first glance.
Yasuhara Tokiha couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and she suffered from insomnia again. Speaking of which, the number of her insomnia has skyrocketed recently.
Since he couldn't sleep peacefully, the inquisitor simply got up for a walk, but after going out for two steps, he bumped into Sanri Yue Zongjin who was eating small dried fish on the roof in the middle of the night.
An Yuan: "..." How many times will she bump into this scene?
The old man learned "meow" without blushing, and then asked her with a smile if she had insomnia.
"Well, it's insomnia."
"Then the little girl will come up and sit with Grandpa."
Saying that, Sankaiyue lay on the roof and stretched out her hand towards the eaves. Yasuhara Tokiha didn't know what expression she should use to face this matter, so she had to hold out her hand with a stiff face, letting the other party do it with one hand. Lift yourself up.
After sitting firmly, Five Swords of the World divided his small dried fish with her, took out a small hot teapot and a new teacup from behind, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Have a cup?"
Yasuhara Tokiha was already too lazy to complain about why everyone has the ability to take out magical items anytime and anywhere but she doesn't, she shook her head, "No, I've already lost sleep, if you still drink tea..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Sanriyue pour out a cup of ordinary hot water.
Yasuhara: ...
"Hahaha, take the hand warmer." Fu Sangshen smiled gently and stuffed the cup into the little girl's hand, "It's still relatively cold at night."
This time Yasuhara Shiyu didn't refuse. It's amazing to say that other people's grandfathers are not good at taking care of others, but her family's Sankayue can take good care of her.
It is said that Fu Sangshen, who is good at taking care of people, didn't ask the little girl why she suffered from insomnia. He just sat beside him calmly and played the role of a cat, continuing to bite his own dried fish.
Sure enough, the two of them sat for a while without speaking, An Yuan still couldn't hold back, "San Riyue, I...I feel very contradictory."
"Huh? You might as well tell me."
"When I found out that I might be overturned, I was very angry and impatient, so I gave that terrible order... But after successfully defeating the enemy, I found that I was not as happy as I thought, and even said that Satake I didn’t feel any fluctuations in my heart when Yoshigege ordered to have a laparotomy.” The interrogator frowned in distress at this point, she thought it was strange that she was like this, “But when I came to Ota Castle, I saw the weeping When those people and children look frightened in their eyes, they can’t even utter the order to kill the weeds… Isn’t it hypocritical?”
She lowered her head and said these words, waited for a long time without a response, suddenly raised her head in doubt, and found that Sankai Yuezong was looking at her in surprise, as if she hadn't thought that she was entangled in such things.
"This is not hypocrisy, little girl." Fu Sangshen seemed to want to laugh, but he still comforted her gently, "Of course, I can understand your ambivalence, after all, contradiction is the product of the unity of identity and struggle. "
Yasuhara: ...Suddenly started a philosophy class? ?
"You have to know that those truly commendable fighters would not have taken the same attitude when facing an invincible enemy and unarmed women and children." He rubbed the outer layer of the warm teacup with his slender fingers, and continued, "The lord treats the enemy with cruel orders, and treats the aftermath with a benevolent attitude-these two things are not contradictory at all... Giving orders that seem to have different styles does not mean that the lord has become split personality or hypocritical. Say—you have already mastered a part of the rules of the game in this world."
"In this Warring States period, it's not uncommon for people to be destroyed. It can even be said that it happens from time to time. Although it's against humanity, it's understandable. After all, everyone doesn't want to leave hidden dangers. But only the truly strong can be tolerant enough. To face all unknown challenges with a broad mind.”
Speaking of this, he gently touched the little girl's head, and his fingertips brushed the contour of the back of her ear on the other side, "No matter what, cruel or kind, I will stand behind you, Grandpa."
"..."
In the cold weather, Yasuhara Tokiha was quite moved by what he said, but he was also a little worried that Sanriyue "stands behind" so that he can stab himself at any time... There is no way, the shadow of being frequently troubled before is too heavy.
But she thought about it again, and found that after being enlightened, she felt a little better.
So he didn't open the opponent's hand.
It wasn't until Sanriyue found out that she had plucked out a few more slender black hairs that she silently stopped this kind of head stroking activity.
"Speaking of which," the old man changed the subject with a relaxed expression, "Has the lord ever killed anyone with his own hands?"
"Huh? Suddenly talking about this kind of topic! It's scary."
"Hahaha, in the era of war, even ordinary old people and children who seem to have no fighting power may have killed one or two people. This kind of topic is not terrible here."
This question really overwhelmed her, so Yasuhara Tokha thought about it for a while, and she did a lot of things to order people to kill, but she didn't seem to have done it with her own hands... Wait, no, back then in the Honmaru of time reincarnation, she But Fusangshen who killed the entire Honmaru rescued Zongsan!
This incident is also one of the few proud achievements that can reflect her combat effectiveness.
Sanriyue smiled when she saw her thinking about it, and she was a little curious immediately, so the examiner said happily.
"I slaughtered the whole Fusangshen of Honmaru, and finally rescued Sozo! Does this count?"
Mikazuki Zongjin: The smile gradually disappears.jpg
"It doesn't count." He deliberately changed the concept, "Grandpa, I'm talking about human beings. How can Fu Sangshen's fighting power be the same as that of human beings?"
"Oh, then there's no more." An Yuan was a little bit shocked, but quickly regained his strength, "But I believe I won't have the chance to kill anyone with my own hands! Because you will protect me!"
"Hahahaha, it's true to say so, but if the little girl really wants to kill someone with her own hands one day, remember to come to me."
The judge made an exaggerated expression of surprise: "No way, Sanriyue, did you finally think about it and decide to be killed by me?"
Fu Sangshen, who was dressed in a dark blue hunting suit, was taken aback when he heard the words, and soon laughed again.
"Of course not, I just teach the Lord some fighting skills."
Holding a hot teacup in his hand, Yasuhara Tokiha finally showed a smile on his face and secretly made up his mind - he wouldn't ask this guy to learn that kind of stuff even if he killed himself!
While she was distracted thinking, she subconsciously took a sip of hot water—"Woo!..."
The hot water is still hot!It's still so hot after leaving it for so long!
With hot water in his mouth, it was embarrassing to spit it out and uncomfortable to swallow, Yasuhara Tokiha's eyes widened pitifully, with a look of death on his face, he finally swallowed while exhaling—almost choked to death.
"Cough cough cough...Damn it, I forgot it's still hot..."
The little girl coughed hastily a few times, stuck out her tongue to breathe, and almost cried stupidly by herself.
Sanriyue hurriedly patted her on the back while laughing hahaha.
Then he took a sip himself... As a result, he was also burned.
Yasuhara Tokiha originally felt that his tongue was numb and painful, but seeing him desperately breathing out, he couldn't help laughing.While reaching out to help fan the wind, she asked, "Why are you so stupid? Why are you being stupid with me?"
However, for some reason, Mikazuki Zongjin didn't answer this question directly.
He just looked at his little girl and smiled softly and helplessly.
