Inoue Tomoshi took the lead, followed by Kuroda Kanbei, followed by an attendant of the Date family, holding a delicate wooden box in his hand. Masahiro sat on top and looked over Inoue Tomoji with interest at Kuroda Kanbei. Although he is nine years old, the soldier who was born on the twenty-second day of the lunar month is actually only eight years and a few days old. His parents apparently wanted him to grow up safely. The slender eyes and flat lips give people the feeling that they are not good at words, but probably because of their strong curiosity, they are forced to raise their heads and look directly at Zhengheng.

Zheng Heng smiled slightly, he didn't expect such a little kid to be so bold, much more daring than his uncle, at this moment Inoue Yushi had already knelt on the ground, put his head between his hands, and saluted: "Foreign minister Kotera Mino is guarding his duties, and Inoue Mikawa is under the command of Takashi to meet His Royal Highness Wan'an of Bizheng Shaobi." ”

Inoue Yushi pulled Kuroda Kanbei's hand sleeve and commanded in a low voice: "Kankanwei, hurry up and meet Bi Zheng Shaobi Zhenghenggong." As he spoke, he kowtowed again and said, "His Royal Highness Bizheng Shaobi, this is the eldest son of my lord, please forgive me for the rudeness." ”

"Oh!" Kuroda guards agreed, quickly cleaned up their clothes, came to the bottom of the stairs to greet them, bowed to the ground, and hurriedly replied: "Kuroda guards and guards, meet His Royal Highness Bizheng Shaobi." The father of the child asks you for peace! My father said that Master Bizheng Shaobi is wise and martial, and he is a great man in the world, and he will definitely forgive the child's unreasonable behavior. ”

It's funny, he knows how to use words to block Zhengheng's reproach at a young age, Zhengheng is not much angry, and a treacherous smile appeared between his lips: "Kuroda family's official guard." Well. You're really good at talking! Who taught you this. Is it your father? ”

After listening to Date Masahiro's answer, he really didn't understand what the meaning of Masahiro's words was, or it was directly unfavorable to his father, Kuroda Kanbei immediately bowed his head and kowtowed: "Your Highness Bizheng Shaobi, this is what the Kanwei heard from the people on the way to Heshou City, so as soon as I saw His Highness, I wanted to immediately see how His Highness looked, and see His Highness's face." The officer and the guard were immediately a little overwhelmed, so that the officer and the guard spoke a little staggered, please forgive your highness. ”

It was said in an orderly manner, Zhengheng felt that this feeling was really good, and then said: "It's really clever and eloquent, Officer Gongwei, how old are you this year?" ”

Kuroda Kanbei bowed to the ground respectfully and replied, "Your Highness, Kanbei is already nine years old. ”

I'm nine years old!

Masahiro glanced back at Noyama Yoshichao and said, "Daisuke Miyauchi." Since when did you first want women? When I was in the monastery, I was about 9 or 10 years old. This was a surprising statement. Noyama Masaasa and Miyahara Masashige couldn't help but look at each other.

He saw it all in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

Yeshan Yichao said a little sadly: "Lord, I don't understand what you mean. Besides, although there is a wife and three concubines in the courtier's family, and there are many maidservants, there is no son and a half daughter so far. ”

Miyahara Masashi smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, you don't have to look at me. ”

Zheng Heng took a sip of tea and said his thoughts: "The most cruel way to cultivate people is to serve food and bewitch beauty as early as possible, as long as you resist one of them, you can become a qualified samurai, and if you can control both of them, he will definitely achieve something in the future." Today, I see that the guard is really interesting, so I want to take him as my son-in-law, but now I only have two sons under my knees, and I don't have a daughter. I wanted the two of them to choose a girl of the same age from their families and adopt her as an adopted daughter to marry him. ”

Accept Kuroda Kanwei as his adopted son-in-law, so that no matter whether Kuroda Kanwei can become a talent in the future, he will dedicate his own strength to the Date family, this is the idea of Zhengheng. Apparently his desire to collect has flare up again.

Noyama Yoshichao listened to Masahiro's words, smiled on his face, and turned his head to look at Kuroda Kanbei who was kneeling on the ground. The nine-year-old Kuroda Kanbei appeared to be taller than his peers, and his demeanor looked very arrogant, even a little offensive. But the thought of him marrying a wife and taking a concubine at such a young age still makes people laugh.

At this time, Kuroda Kanbei felt like a thousand small insects gnawing on his back, he was frightened and scared, he didn't expect that as soon as they met, he set a family affair for himself, and he didn't know whether to say it was good or not, but he also knew that this matter really didn't have his part to speak, so he could only look at his uncle Inoue Yushi. Inoue Yushi heard the words of Masahiro and his two retainers, and his face was already full of smiles, obviously he was quite satisfied with this marriage.

When Kuroda Kanbei saw his uncle's expression, he knew that everything had been settled and irreparable, but he unconsciously remembered his childhood friend Ah Chenlai, with a round head and a small mouth.

After reading Kuroda Kanbei, Noyama Masachao didn't ask, he turned back to Zhengheng and said: "Lord, he looks quite thoughtful, and his subordinates will choose one or two for him among the people in Beizhong, and ask the lord to make an evaluation when the time comes." ”

Masashige Miyahara also agreed.

Zheng Heng then said to Inoue Yushi: "Inoue Yushi, you heard our words and knew that I wanted to accept your family's officers and soldiers as sons-in-law, I don't know what your opinion is as his family?" ”

Inoue Yushi still had any objections, and immediately agreed: "Thank you for your grace, and I will definitely tell my brother the good news when I go back, and my brother will definitely smile when he hears the news." ”

In an excited mood, the name of Inoue Yu's name Kuroda also became his brother.

Zhengheng came and went, and after listening to Inoue's reply, he didn't ask Kuroda Kanbei's opinion, although he was quite optimistic about Kuroda Kanwei's future, but he thought that it was enough to pay more attention to it.

Perhaps not paying more attention is more useful to young future celebrities, Shimizu Soji and Tsuda Soji and the two, Masahiro let them develop, and gave a little help, and now the two of them are becoming more and more shrewd and capable.

Zhengheng said to Inoue Tomoshi and Kuroda Kanbei, "Tomorrow night, the two of you will also come to the banquet to entertain the general's envoy!" ”

Watching the two retreat, Zhengheng said slowly: "Himeji's Kuroda is just a small force, if we really want to fight, we can uproot it in one battle, but I don't want to be an enemy of it." The reason why I did this was not to avoid making enemies, in fact, Himeji's Kuroda is not in my eyes yet, but if Himeji's Kuroda falls to us. We can do our best to support Miki City's other places to be treated, so that other places can try Miyoshi Changqing? ”

After a pause, Zhengheng said: "None of us have seen the true strength of Miyoshi Changqing with our own eyes, if we encounter it directly, I am afraid that we will suffer a big loss, now let Miki Cheng test the temptation and make adjustments in time, so why not!" ”

At the same time that Masahiro was communicating with Inoue Tomoji and Kuroda Kanbei, there was an izakaya at the end of Higashita-cho Higashita Town in Himeji Castle, and the people of Himeji Town knew that the proprietress of this izakaya was a half-aged who still had a charm.

Due to the snow outside, the izakaya is closed and there is a small courtyard at the back of the izakaya. In the bedroom of the small courtyard, the proprietress of the izakaya, Ah Chun, was dating a man, and the two of them seemed to have just done some strenuous exercise, and both were a little out of breath at this time.

If the people of Himeji Castle saw this man's face, they would be speechless in horror, because he was none other than Kodera Zhitaka's nemesis, Sakyoyo Kushihashi.

The abnormal movement of Himeji Castle, at the beginning, no one really noticed the abnormality, but it really couldn't hide from the detection of people with a heart, especially the strange appearance of the Snow Night Monk, and the successive disappearances of Inoue Yushi and the young master Wanji, which suddenly aroused the interest of people with hearts.

This person with a heart is Kushibashi Zuo Jingliang, he is under the orders of the father and son of the small temple and political office, and the relationship between the Koji Castle and the Koji Castle is complicated, but he has always suppressed the jealousy of the Koji Castle in his heart, why can he become the city generation of Himeji Castle as an outsider, and he can only nest in the small Shiwan Castle.

In order to find out about the changes in Himeji Castle and to file a complaint in front of Koji's political office, it is necessary to have definite evidence, and Kushizao Kyoryo goes to the izakaya of his old lover Aharu, hoping to find out about the situation of Himeji Castle from Aharu's mouth.

Himeji Castle's liquor supply has always been provided from Aharu's izakaya.

After finishing all the qiē, Kushibashi Zuo Jingliang gently took Ah Chun in his arms, which seemed to be able to satisfy a man's wish, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that Himeji Castle has been quite calm these days, and Wanji, who has always liked to make trouble, has disappeared." ”

Ah Chun smiled lightly, and said coquettishly: "I knew that there would be no good thing for you to come to see me, and the troublemaker Wanji heard that he was sent to the boss by his father." But I heard a strange thing, I heard a servant say that Manyoshi is now called Kuroda Kanwei. ”

Well?

After a slight sigh, Zuo Jingliang said slowly: "It seems that this brother of mine has made up his mind!" He smiled slightly, but instead of getting up and leaving, he touched Ah Chun again, obviously what Ah Chun said made him very excited.

Ignoring the manipulative Zuo Jingliang, Ah Chun put on her clothes one by one, her expression was a little dissatisfied, and said: "It's really boring to make a fire, and you can't be satisfied with me, so let's go quickly!" ”

Kushiqiao Zuo Jingliang's face was a little embarrassed, and his wrinkled face was rarely red, but it quickly disappeared, and he groaned slightly, and said, "Okay, okay, see you later!" "Quietly disappear from behind the door of the izakaya. (To be continued......)
