Chapter 172: Xue Ji and Xiaolan who did "bad things".
"Come on, slow down, this is your rice ball, take it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info In the relief area in the southern part of Tsugawa Castle, Yukihime was sweating and talking to the farmers who had come to receive rations. At this time, Xue Ji was already full of happy smiles, although sweat flowed on her face from time to time, but it did not affect Xue Ji's fiery heart at all.
"Thank you, ma'am! You're such a nice person. An elderly man trembled and took the rice balls handed by Xue Ji with dusty hands, and said gratefully.
"Eat slowly, there's soup over there, be careful not to choke, and come back to get it when you're done." Xue Ji smiled and pointed to Xiaolan on the right, who was handing out rice soup.
"Yes, yes, thank you, ma'am."
"Come, next."
Xue Ji and Xiaolan actually ran out secretly, and the two of them implicitly mentioned this matter to Tsugawa Soji a few days ago, but they were vetoed by Tsugawa Soji. Just kidding, the Tsugawa family hasn't yet needed a woman to come forward, not to mention that it's still the wife of Tsugawa Soji, the housemother of the Tsugawa family, especially the two of them are still pregnant, if something happens in the chaos of the crowd, who will Tsugawa Soji cry to?
But fortunately, the people came to collect things in a very orderly manner, so the chaos did not happen. After all, during this period of time, the Tsugawa family has been working hard to appease the emotions of the people, and the supply of food is also in place for everyone, so the people are not in a hurry, and they are all consciously queuing.
Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that the two squadrons of Tsugawa Ieashigaru who were waiting around were watching from the sidelines............
"Madam, the lord seems to be here." At this time, an ashigaru came to Yukihime's side and whispered.
"What? Your Highness is down? Yukihime suddenly stopped what she was doing, and a hint of panic suddenly appeared on her originally happy face.
Yukihime turned her head and looked at Soharu Tsugawa, who was riding a tall horse, looking at her, and when the eyes of the two met, Yukihime lowered her head in a panic and said to Ashigaru beside her, "You help me first, I'll come when I go." ”
"Yes!"
After speaking, Xue Ji slowly walked towards Xiao Lan, who was distributing rice soup as if no one was around, and then said anxiously in Xiao Lan's ear, "Xiao Lan, what should I do, Your Highness is here." ”
"What?" Xiaolan also hurriedly exclaimed, "Your Highness is here?" Let's go, let's hide quickly. With that, Xiaolan was about to take Xue Ji's hand and prepare to leave.
"It's useless, Your Highness has already discovered us." Xue Ji motioned for Xiaolan to look behind.
Before Xiaolan could turn her head, the voice of Soji Tsugawa came from her ears........
"You two, don't come over to me yet!" Soji Tsugawa dismounted and said sternly at Yukihime and Xiaolan.
Forced by Tsugawa Soji's Y power, Xue Ji and Xiaolan had no choice but to turn around and slowly walk to Tsugawa Soji's side, hanging their heads and whispering, "Why is Your Highness here, don't you have something to discuss with your retainers today?" ”
"Hmph, the matter is settled, so I went home early." Soji Tsugawa pretended to be angry and said, "You two, what are you doing here?" I said that let the two of you have a good rest at home, what are you going to run around when you have nothing to do? What if something goes dangerous? ”
Listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, Yukihime still lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, but Xiaolan on the side showed a smile on the corner of her mouth.
With Xiaolan's understanding of Tsugawa Soji, although Tsugawa Soji looks vicious now, he must not blame himself, so Xue Ji raised his head and looked at Tsugawa Soji and said, "Your Highness, aren't the concubines and Mrs. Xue also thinking about their own family, and they just want to do His Highness a little favor." ”
"A little favor? Do you need to worry about these things? I've asked Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara to arrange someone to take care of these things, what are you two doing here? Tsugawa Soji looked at the ashigaru who was occupying a bunch of people around him, and then said, "There are so many people here, what if there is any chaos, you two are pregnant, what if something happens?" ”
"Your Highness, the concubine knows that she is wrong. This matter is the attention of the concubine alone, and it has nothing to do with Xiaolan, if His Royal Highness wants to punish me, it is good to punish me alone. Yukihime raised her head and looked at Soji Tsugawa with tears in her eyes, and the pure Yukihime thought that Soji Tsukawa was really angry, so she began to beg for mercy like Soji Tsukawa.
Xiao Lan on the side also felt and said, "This matter also has Xiao Lan's attention, and Mrs. Xue can't be held responsible alone, if His Royal Highness wants to be punished, even Xiao Lan will be punished together." ”
Seeing the two of them say this, it made Tsugawa Soji feel very relieved, the harem is so harmonious, isn't it beautiful?
"Alright, you two go home now, I'll let someone else take care of it here." Soji Tsugawa said as he glared at the two.
"Yes, Your Highness, let's go back now." Xiaolan quickly pulled Xue Ji's clothes, and then replied with a smile.
"Stay safe on the road and walk slowly." Soji Tsugawa instructed.
"Yes."
After speaking, Xue Ji and Xiaolan walked towards Tsukawa Yashiki with the support of several maids.
Tsugawa Soji then said to Takahashi Koya beside him, "Koya, you are in charge of the affairs here for the time being, and when Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Shintoki and others come over, you are leaving." ”
"Hah!"
"Actually, the lord doesn't have to be like this, the two ladies can cherish the people so much, which is a great blessing for the family!" Takahashi Xingjia explained at this time.
Soji Tsugawa nodded approvingly, and said with a smile, "I'm not really angry, I'm just deliberately scaring them." ”
"They did the right thing, and I was dissatisfied that the two of them didn't tell me in advance, and they ran out secretly. What happened at Dongshan Temple last time reminded me that the more I feel safer, the more dangerous it may be. Tsugawa Soji said with a solemn expression.
If it weren't for the fact that there was Qimoto by his side at that time, if the number of enemies was more or the combat strength was stronger, or Ichiro Yamamoto came one step late, or Sasaki Mataro was not in Higashiyamaji Temple at that time, then wouldn't the bloodline of the Tsugawa family have to be cut off?
"What the lord said is very true." Takahashi Xingjia is also afraid for a while, only after experiencing the test of life and death himself, will he experience the feeling of struggling on the edge of death.
Soharu Tsugawa then continued, "Speaking of Sasaki Mataro, I just remembered. Where is this benefactor of the family now? I was busy for a while, and I actually forgot about him. ”
"It is said that Sasaki-sama went to Hongdo Castle to learn the art of war from Yoshikawa-sama, and I don't know when I will return." Takahashi said with a smile.
"Haha." Soji Tsugawa laughed and said, "This person can't be idle, it's kind of interesting." ”
"Last time, he bluntly said that he wanted to defeat me, but I didn't dare to fight him, lest I damage the prestige of my family at that time." Soji Tsugawa was very frank and directly explained his heart. This is actually not very shameful, you must know that Tsugawa Soji, as a traverser, was powerless at the beginning, even ordinary peasant soldiers did not dare to provoke, and now at least he can fight with three or four ashigaru alone without falling behind, which is already very good.
"Hehe, then I hope our Yoshikawa-sama can give this arrogant guy a little color." Takahashi Xingjia also said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
