The so-called ringo is actually an apple, and it is also called "柰", "Laio", etc., and the name of each place is different.

Apples are native to the southern Caucasus and the coastal area of Persia, and the northwest region of the Great Celestial Empire is also an important birthplace of apples, and the Tang Dynasty began to introduce RB transplantation, although it is not cheap, but it is not a fruit that everyone can afford.

The apples that Soji Tsukawa ate were given to Soji Tsugawa when Saudiillo came last time, and there were five boxes in total, and now there is one box left. Since a chance to let Saigo Kizo and others taste it, Tsugawa Soji's apples have often been "scavenged" by Saigo Kizo and others, and now there is not much left.

However, Tsukawa Soji has already eaten enough of apples, and he doesn't want Saigo Kizo and others to treat them as if they were a treasure.

Let the two maids remove the apples on the table, Tsugawa Soji was going to continue to take a nap, but today is destined to not let Tsugawa Soji get his wish.

"Father." A timid voice suddenly sounded in the corner of the castle tower.

Soji Tsugawa looked for a sound, and only saw three small heads.

"You three little guys, why did you suddenly come here?" Looking at the three little heads poking out of the corner, Tsugawa Soji said helplessly for a while.

Originally, having two troublemakers at home, Marvel Pill and Tsuruhime, had already given Tsugawa Soji a lot of headaches, but after going to White Rock Castle a few days ago, Kikuhime had to take Takewakamaru to Ueno Castle to live for a while. Under Kikuhime's "indescribable" for a whole night, Soharu Tsugawa "succumbed.........

As a result, now the mischievous duo has become a mischievous "Three Musketeers".

Takewakamaru is five years old this year, which is older than Marvel Maru and Tsuruhime. However, due to the reason for staying in White Rock City for a long time, he didn't show a lot of liveliness like Tsuruhime and Wonder Pill, but was a little introverted and "cowardly" in a sense.

The three little guys Takewakamaru and Wonder Pill came to Tsugawa Soji and sat down very "well-behaved", with a flattering look on their faces, looking directly at Tsugawa Soji, with a look of expectation and hesitation.

Looking at the appearance of the three little ghosts, Soji Tsugawa was also amused, "What? Trouble again? ”

"Hmm........." Marvel Maru and Tsuruhime shook their heads in unison, but it was clear that there was a traitor among them.

"Brother Takewakamaru, you are a traitor!" Tsuruhime was startled and said loudly to Takewakamaru, and the wonderful pill on the side was also angry, and he pouted that he could hang a piece of old bacon.

Takewakamaru's face turned pale, and he said nervously, "I.... I'm not a traitor! Be... It was the teacher who made me not lie to my father! ”

"Humph! You're a traitor, we just said we couldn't tell my father! Tsuruhime still said unrelentingly.

How could Bamboo Wakamaru in the "ravine" be Tsuruhime's opponent, in Tsuruhime's "sharp" eyes, he was instantly defeated, his head was lowered, his hands were restlessly fiddling with the corners of his clothes, and his face was helpless.

"Okay, Tsuruhime, Wonder Maru, Takewakamaru is a brother, you can't bully him!" Soji Tsugawa pretended to be angry and said to Tsuruhime and Marvel Maru.

"Yes! Father! "No matter how "fierce" Tsuruhime and Marvel Pill are, they don't dare to make a mistake in front of Tsugawa Soji, otherwise they will face a very serious punishment for spanking.

Seeing that Tsuruhime and Marvel Maru were finally honest, Tsugawa Soji turned his head and glanced at Takewakamaru with an appreciative face, and then said kindly, "Takewakamaru just said that you can't lie to your father?" Who taught you this? ”

"Yes.... It's a teacher! Takewakamaru said hesitantly.

"Teacher?" Soji Tsugawa was slightly stunned, and then a figure flashed in his mind, "It's him." "Takewakamaru's teacher is the Shinbata family of Tsugawa Soji who once tried to be a direct minister.,I still have a good impression of this person.,It's a talent.,It's just that I'm not very interested in fame and fortune.。

However, Takewakamaru was able to say such a sentence today, and Tsugawa Soji was still very pleased. Regardless of the purpose for which the Shinbata family taught Takewakamaru these words, but this is really what Tsugawa Soji wants to hear.

Takewakamaru was not born to Tsugawa Soji, but was an adopted son, and his biological father was Yamada Yoshinobu (the first wealthy family to be wiped out by the Tsugawa family) who died at the hands of Tsugawa Soji. In this era of lower restraint, biological fathers and sons can still turn against each other, let alone adoptive fathers and sons.

However, Takewakamaru is still young, and if he is properly educated from an early age, Tsugawa Soji can rest assured. Obviously, Takewakamaru's current situation makes Tsugawa Soji very satisfied.

"Then Takewakamaru, you can tell your father what trouble you have caused again." After saying that, Soji Tsugawa seemed to think of something, and then added, "Don't worry, my father won't tell your mother." ”

"Father, just now.... Just now I was with Marvel Maru... Let's put ... Handful.. The small wooden bow that my father gave to my brother Takewakamaru was broken. Tsuruhime seemed to realize something, and said before Takewakamaru could speak.

"Is that so, Takewakamaru?" Soji Tsugawa asked with a smile as he crossed his arms.

Takewakamaru nodded embarrassedly, and then said, "That's right." ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then said, "Wait a minute, Father will have someone make another one for the three of you." But now that Father has something to do, you should go home and play now. ”

"Yes! Father! Tsuruhime and Wonder Pill suddenly pulled Takewakamaru and ran out quickly.

Looking at the back of the three of them leaving, Tsugawa Soji shook his head helplessly, but his mood improved.

"Someone, go and bring in the envoy of the Oura family outside the castle tower!" Soji Tsugawa, who was in a better mood, suddenly said to a maid beside him.

"Yes! Basilica! ”

...........

Outside the castle guard, Oura Shouxin has been standing here for almost two hours, his legs are a little sore, but he is still gritting his teeth and persevering.

Since learning the news that the Tsugawa family was going to send troops to the Mutsu area, Oura Morinobu and Oura were anxious like ants on a hot pot. Don't look at the Oura family, now defeated the Langoka family, expelled the Hiyama Anto family, and unified Tsugaru County, but in front of the Tsugawa family, the Oura family is still very small.

Oura and Oura discussed for several days, and finally made up their minds to surrender to the Tsugawa family on their own initiative, and submitted a petition.

However, what Oura Shouxin didn't expect was that the invitation was handed over to the Tsugawa family, but Tsugawa Soji just refused to take care of himself. This made Oura Shouxin, who was already like a frightened bird, even more uneasy.

"Could it be that the Tsugawa family insists on destroying the family before they give up?" Oura Shoushin looked at the towering castle tower in front of him, and thought in horror in his heart.

At this moment, a maid suddenly came out of the castle tower, came to Oura Shouxin's side, and said slowly, "My lord, my lord, please." ”

Seeing that Soji Tsugawa was finally willing to see him, Oura Shoushin suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly tidied up his clothes, and followed the maid into the castle tower.
