In the field path on the outskirts of Sunfu Castle in Tokaido, Kansuke Yamamoto is urging Imagawa to bury all the way to the road, but at the same time he is lamenting the previous layout of the lord Masashi:

"As for the layout of the various forces in Tokaido, which has been arranged for personnel to infiltrate the various forces of Tokaido several years in advance, this time it is even more convenient for all of them, and the reason why this time I was able to send the letter of Imagawa Burial Zero into the city is also thanks to the help of these people. Although it may be a bit inappropriate to let Mrs. Jing Yiju know part of the situation in advance, but in the next plan, this lady can indeed play a big role, so this risk is still worth trying. ”

"Of course." Thinking of this, Kansuke Yamamoto looked at Sunfu Castle in the mountains and forests in the distance again, "If what the lord said is really going to happen, then this arrangement is indeed very worthwhile." ”

To be honest, he still didn't believe the speculation that the lord Masato learned about this time Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiraku before he left, after all, no matter how it was deduced, along the way of Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiraku, there was no force that could stop the Imagawa family.

"It's just that the lord's previous speculations are surprisingly accurate, which is really terrifying! I hope it's the same this time, otherwise the previous arrangements will be wasted, and the Luo family's local arrangements over the past few years will also be exposed. Kansuke Yamamoto thought to himself, "Besides, I don't know what the situation of the young master and the others who stayed in Yuanjiang at this time?" ”

And the Roche Nobuya and others that Yamamoto Kansuke remembered were about to welcome a few guests at this time.

In the Iya area of Enoei, birds fly high in the blue clear sky. Far away. You can see the eaves of Iiya Castle in the middle of the mountain forest. On the right side of Ii Valley Castle is the Paradise Garden. On the left is the forest of the Hachiman Daisutsu Shrine, which is connected to the forest where the paradise is located, and then there is a street with only a few houses. There are no decent mountains here, and the Mt. Inari and Mt. Maruda in front of them can only be regarded as small hills, and although the land is wide, the arable land is limited.

At this time, it was lying on a dry road outside the mountains south of the city. One of the three men who appeared to be travelers, two men and one woman, was shouting to a brave-looking farmer working in a nearby field:

"Hey! Is there a son of Nobura living here? ”

Hearing someone ask for directions, the brave farmer, who seemed to be working, immediately stood up with a hoe and looked at the two men and a woman in front of him.

I saw that the woman didn't look very old, with a pair of big black and clear eyes, soft and full red lips, and a delicate little Yao nose, she was indeed a beauty. As for the two men next to the woman, one of them was young but full of beard, and the other looked much cleaner. However, judging from the katana he was holding in his hand, this person's martial arts should not be bad.

After observing the three people who asked for directions in an instant. The brave farmer then said, "Are you from the city?" ”

The farmer did not answer the other's words, but asked the three of them another question.

"No, we're just travelers."

"Oh! Since he is a traveler, why do you know that there is a son of Shinliang here? ”

When two of the three men, one man and one woman, heard this, they immediately took their hats and looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This farmer really doesn't look simple.

These three men and one woman, the woman of which is Maeda Toshiie's wife Maeda Maeda, and the one who holds a katana and does not have a full beard is Maeda Toshiya himself. After accidentally killing Aichi Juami, Maeda Toshiya first fled to the Hisamatsu family, where Matsudaira Motoyasu's mother Yu Jiu was located in Owari Province, and completed the task assigned to him by Oda Nobunaga, and then he and his wife Amatsu rushed to Mikawa Province to continue to complete the task given by Oda Nobunaga.

It's just a pity that in Okazaki Castle in Mikawa Province, Maeda Toshiya couldn't see Matsudaira Motoyasu, and after waiting for a few days, he had to leave the message that Oda Nobunaga asked Aichi Juami, who was mistakenly killed by him, to several important retainers of the Matsudaira family.

After completing these tasks, he suddenly did not know where to go (in fact, he was hesitating at this time, not knowing whether to return to the territory of the Oda family, such as the Hisamatsu family, or to stay in the Mikawa area).

Fortunately, it was his wife Amatsu who reminded him in time at this time (in fact, he made a decision), and Maeda Toshiya remembered the night when he accidentally killed Aichi Shizumi, and after being rescued by Kizo Shigetadada, he got the address of Kizo Shigetada's friend.

However, what made Maeda Toshiya depressed was that because the address given by Kizo Shigetada was written in charcoal, so much time had passed, even if Maeda Toshiya had the intention to preserve it, the charcoal traces on the paper had long been blurred. Fortunately, his wife Ah Song made a meritorious service again, and since she had memorized the address before, she naturally did not need to guess the address from the blurred handwriting on the paper.

And according to the address, they did find a sake brewery on the shore of Lake Hamamatsu in Ene Province. When the owner of the sake brewery saw Kizo Shigetada's piece of paper, he also warmly left Maeda Toshiya and Amatsu in the brewhouse as guests for free.

During this period, the two also met Shimazo Kin (alias Shima Kiyoshi or Shima Katsuto), who was traveling in the Enoe, this cowman seemed to be "inactive" in the first half of his life, but he showed his dazzling brilliance in the battle of Sekigahara in the second half of his life. According to many later historical records, Shimazo traveled around the Tokaido area for several years during this period.)

Because Maeda Toshiya and Shimazuo had a lot of conversations, over time, the two became good friends, and even the two planned to travel to the nearby area together in the next period of time.

At this time, the owner of the sake house suddenly told the Maeda Toshiya that if he planned to contribute to the original master, the Oda family, during the period of Imagawa Yoshimoto's Kamiraku, then he could go to a place to find someone. This person is Luo Xinliang, of course, in order to avoid revealing his true identity, when he is external, Luo Xinliang will call himself the son of Xinliang.

And since he was awakened by Kizo Shigetada that night and released Cheongju Castle, Maeda Toshiya has completely believed in Kizo Shitadada, and naturally believes in Kizo Shitadada's friend, not to mention. In his heart, he really wanted to make some contribution to the Oda family. In order to obtain Oda Nobunaga's forgiveness. So he really took Ah Song with him. As for the island left, anyway, he had planned to travel around the nearby area together, so he simply followed.

In this way, after a journey, they finally came to the place where the Nobora son was, but since they didn't know where the Nobora son was, they had to ask the farmer who was working on the side of the road.

It's only now that I've found out. This farmer doesn't seem to be easy. The farmer didn't seem to believe them, and in desperation, Maeda Toshiya had no choice but to take out the token that the brewhouse owner had given them to prove their identity before leaving.

And after seeing the one taken out by Maeda Toshiya with Arabic numerals printed on the bottom that were unique to the Warring States and only the Luo family, the farmer finally smiled:

"I see, just keep going down this path. Prince Shinra should be in the woods nearby at this time, and maybe you will have a good show if you have time. ”

"Fun?"

"Hehe, it's inconvenient to say much about this matter, you will naturally understand when you go there." The farmer smiled and shook his head.

"Oh! Thank you for the interruption. He said. Maeda Toshiie picked up his hat and went in the direction the farmer pointed out with Amatsu and Shimasa.

"Huh. It was them. Fortunately, the intelligence officers of the family came to say hello in advance, otherwise they would not have dared to tell them the information of the young master. I really didn't expect that I would meet the talents in the lord's list of talents that are widely spread at home. Looking at the three members of the Maeda Toshiya family who had gone away, the farmer smiled and said to himself.

This farmer is indeed not an ordinary person, his name is Takahashi Shaoyun. Of course, he is not the second son of the Otomo Yoshihiro family in the "double wall" of the Otomo family in history, Yoshihiro Zhenli (in history, the person was indeed renamed Takahashi Shaoyun), because the father of the second son of the Yoshihiro family, Yoshihiro Zhenli, died very early in the conflict with the Luo family, and at that time, Yoshihiro Zhenli had not yet been born, so in this life, this famous general who was originally very famous in history had no chance to come to the world.

And now this Takahashi Shaoyun, who was originally a squire next to Masara's wife Sagara Risa, when facing the trap jointly set by the Ouchi family and the Otomo family, it was this attendant who obeyed the order of Sagara Risa who was under house arrest in the Ouchi family, and took the risk to send the warning message of "beans in a bag" to the hands of the Luo family overnight, so that the Luo family's reinforcements were dispatched in time to rescue Masayo who was caught in the trap.

Later, in the strategy of Chikuzen Country, this attendant forcibly came forward to defend the interests of the Luo family in the face of the coercion of hostile forces, so that the Aso family, an important powerful man in Chikuzen Country at that time, finally surrendered to the Luo family.

For this reason, Masarashi recruited him as a guard, and rewarded him with the Miao character of the famous Takahashi family in Chikuzen Province, and made him change his name to Takahashi Shaoyun. And in order to monitor the local Takahashi family, who were subservient to the Luo family, he was sent to the Takahashi family's territory.

Takahashi Shaoyun did not disappoint Masahiro, after joining the Takahashi family, he relied on his ability to help the Takahashi family's family governor Takahashi Naganzo manage the territory well at this time, and even met Takahashi's daughter Takahashi Naganzo, who has been designated by Masashi as the next heir of the Takahashi family. This time, it was precisely in order to further train Takahashi Shaoyun that Masahiro added him to the expedition.

"What's the show?" Just as Takahashi Shaoyun was sighing, the island that was hurrying was looking up at the birds chirping in the sky, and he turned his eyes to look at the dark green forest and muttered to himself.

The woods at noon seemed quiet.

"When you get there, you can see it." Maeda Toshiie said, and after saying that, he immediately stepped into the forest with Amatsu.

After traveling some distance, they noticed that a white shadow suddenly appeared in the shade of the trees on the forest side.

"Ahh Probably some kids! ”

The three of them slowly pushed aside the forest grass and slowly moved forward, and when they were about to approach, they suddenly disappeared behind the ancient trees.

"What the hell is going on?"

I saw a circle drawn in a small clearing in the forest, and two children were playing sumo wrestling in the circle. If they were boys, they wouldn't be so shocking, but no matter how you look at them, they look like thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls!

Their skin looks very fair, and they should be close to the spring period. However, the two of them were dressed in the same way as the sumo boys, with a belt. And it's the same as the boy's system. Each other's eyes were very strict. Both sides are staring at each other with their hips cocked. However, this group was not the only one, there were many groups of girls dressed in the same way around that circle.

"Not yet, not yet, continue to look at each other, continue to look at each other." Suddenly, a voice appeared.

The three of them immediately raised their upper bodies, trying to find the owner of the voice. It was a young man who sat four behind the female sumo wrestler on his right. On the five-step platform, he looked proudly at the sumo ring.

The boy appeared to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with his hair tied to the top of his head in the middle and clamped in clips. After the young man saw that the breathing of the two coincided, he suddenly shouted: "Okay! Begin. With this wild scream, the two girls pounced on each other at the same time.

Ah Song, one of the three, frowned sadly when he saw this scene. In the unbearable situation of the wolf, the people of the west were victorious.

"Ah Chuan wins."

The boy shouted, then beckoned to the victorious maiden to come over and give her a large rice ball beside her. The girl panted and took the rice ball from the boy's hand. Start swallowing.

It seems that several games have ended. The three of them were located right in a large leaf to cover themselves.

The defeated maiden came to the east and sat down. His shoulders drooped, trembling slightly, and his face was afraid.

"Next up is the match between Ah Mao and Ah Ying."

The boy began to shout to the girls on either side again. If you look closely at the eyes of the girl named Ah Mao, it really looks like the sparkling look of a cat when it sees a mouse, and the girl named Ah Ying has a pair of attractive breasts as if she had eaten a lot of cakes.

In this one, you can see the winner at a glance. The moment Sakura's breasts hit A-cat's head, Sakura was pushed onto the boy's lap.

"Cat wins."

The winning cat also gets a big rice ball, and then sits with the girls who just won.

The three of them were so stunned by what they saw at this point that they even wanted to go out and talk to some of the people there, but they gave up on their plans for the time being until this strange game was completely over.

Finally, after some waiting, the game was over. At this time, a woman behind the young man suddenly stood up and said: "Today, in the troubled times of the Warring States, women must also strengthen their families to protect their families." ”

"Yes!"

"Don't forget, the victor of today, I will take him as my escort in the future."

"Yes!"

"To have a strong child, first of all, the mother must be strong, not a weak person."

"Yes!"

"Good! This concludes today. ”

The woman's words made Maeda Toshiya and Shimazuo, who were about to appear, look at each other in surprise. They've never heard anything like it before. Behind them, Ah Song's eyes lit up even more, and he carefully looked at the woman who suddenly spoke. I saw that the woman was jade and pavilion, although her face was weathered, her eyes were bright and her face was good.

In fact, the woman in front of the three of them is the only daughter of the lord of Ii Valley Castle and the governor of the Ii family, Master Jiro (that is, the historical Ii Naoto).

In history, the Ii family, a native of the Toe country, in the early years of the twenty-second generation of the family governor Ii Naomori, cooperated with the Toe guardian Spo family against the Imagawa family next door, but with the growing growth of the Imagawa family and the decline of the Spo family, the Ii family surrendered to the Imagawa family.

Later, after the death of the family governor Ii Naomori, because there was no male under Ii Naomori's knees, he was succeeded by Ii Naomori's cousin and adopted son Ii Naomori as the twenty-third generation governor of the Ii family. At that time, Ii Naomitsu, the father of Ii Naokin, was slandered by the old man of the Imagawa family, Ono Michitaka, and was suspected of rebellion by Imagawa Yoshimoto and was killed, so Ii Naoto fled to the Shinano area, and then returned to Enoe Province and succeeded to the position of family governor, but in 1562 he was again suspected of rebellion by the Imagawa clan, this time by Michiyoshi, the son of Michidaka.

In the end, Naoqin Ii was attacked by the Asahinai Tai Dynasty and died. And Naomasa Akakii, who is loved by posterity, is the eldest son of Naomasa (Ii Naomasa is one of the four heavenly kings of the Tokugawa family in history, but this famous shogun will not be born until next year).

The only daughter of the previous generation Ii Naomori, Master Jiro, was originally scheduled to marry his adopted son, Ii Naokin, but because Ii Nao's trip to the Shinano area, the marriage ended up in the end. Despite this, Master Jiro never married, and after the death of Naoko Ii, he not only adopted Naomasa Ii, but also adopted the name of the governor of the Ii family. Changed its name to "Naoto Ii". shouldered the survival of the Jing family. (Women, however, are not traditionally counted as a generation.) Therefore, the twenty-fourth generation of the Ii family governor is still considered to be the head of the Ii family. ）

In 1568, Ono Michiyo was tyrannical and forcibly occupied Iiya Castle, leading the dissatisfaction of the people of Toe Province and defecting to the Tokugawa family. In 1570, with the assistance of Tokugawa Ieyasu, they finally defeated Ono Michiyoshi, who was also executed by Tokugawa Ieyasu for trespassing. Succeeded as the governor of the Jing family, Jing Yi Naoto, and then mediated among the people of the country for the survival of the family, and was known as the "female land head" (the head of the land is the lord). At the same time, he adopted Ii Naomasa as an example, and finally taught a Tokugawa Four Heavenly Kings.

The above is the trajectory of Jing Yi Naoto, who is also quite famous in later generations, in history, but in this life, with the emergence of the Luo family and the arrival of Luo Xinliang, her life trajectory has changed rapidly.

Due to the influence of his father Masahiro since he was a child and he was often "bullied" by his sister Meiji, Roche Nobuya naturally has a different view of the status of women. So during the period of staying at Jing Yi's house, after getting acquainted with Jing Yi Naohu, he quickly spread the very feminine stories such as "Mulan" and "Yang Family Female General" from his sister Mei Ji to Jing Yi Naohu again.

There is a great lack of entertainment in this era, in such a situation. Naturally, Naohu was deeply attracted by the impressive story of Luo Shishi, and then gradually believed that she could also be a family governor. The one who leads the family to survive.

In fact, in this era, as the daughter of a wealthy family who lacks a male heir, the pressure is actually very great, and often ordinary women can only resign themselves to being a tool to marry an outsider who will inherit the position of the family governor, but Jing Yi Naohu is a stubborn person from the bottom of her heart, she originally had dissatisfaction in her heart, and now with the arrival of Luo Xinliang and others, she finally found the answer and exit, and naturally it is easier to accept the message spread by Luo Xinliang.

And why did Roche Shinliang do this?

In the final analysis, it is still to get the help of the Jing family, and even control the power. From Imagawa Burial Zero, Luo Shinra and others learned that Imagawa Burial Zero's mother was not only Imagawa Yoshimoto's side room but also a member of the Ii clan, and even had a relationship with the Iii family governor Ii Naomori at this time. It is precisely because of this layer of relationship that Imagawa Burial Zero will bring Luo Shinra and others here to lurk (this decision was also agreed by his father Masa).

In fact, Luo Shishira also knew that the sudden arrival of Imagawa's burial did bring a lot of trouble to the governor of the Iyi family, Ii Naomori. After all, the second son of Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has been missing for a long time, suddenly appeared in his territory, and brought a large number of people with him, if Imagawa Yoshimoto knew about it, then the Iyi family would be really in trouble.

Of course, if Ii Naomori was ruthless to kill his relatives, and took advantage of the fact that others did not know, he killed Imagawa Burial Zero, and then found a secret place to bury it, as if Imagawa Burial Zero did not come back, this kind of treatment is the best for the Iyi family, but it seems that it is precisely Ii Naomori's plan to see it, so the military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke quickly left with Imagawa Burial and others, leaving only him and Takahashi Shaoyun and other other people to stay in the Ii family's territory.

There are two purposes for leaving this part of Luo Shishira, one is to serve as a "hostage", to sue Sù Ii Naomori, they have no intention of harming the Ii family, and at the same time, it is also to warn Ii Naomori not to do stupid things, otherwise Imagawa Fuling and the others will not mind taking the initiative to show up, and then promote the Iyi family as a member of the party.

In fact, Iyi Naomori is indeed afraid that Imagawa Burial Zero will pull his family into the water, which is why he prefers to secretly solve Imagawa Burial Zero, and does not report to Imagawa Yoshimoto in a righteous manner, after all, this is the most tense moment when Imagawa Yoshimoto is about to go to Luo, and with Imagawa Yoshimoto's temper, even if Ii Naomori and others are wronged, Imagawa Yoshimoto will have a battle of destruction against the Ii clan without mercy. This can be seen from Imagawa Yoshimoto's previous poisonous hand against his relative Ii Naomitsu family.

As for the other purpose, it is hoped that Luo Xinliang and others can find a breakthrough in the Jing family during this period of time. And now the breakthrough that Roche Shinra has found is Naohu I.

According to his father Masahiro's previous speculation, it is very likely that Jingi's father will encounter an accident on the way to Shangluo this time, so that Jingyi Naohu may inherit the position of family governor, even if he can't inherit it, Luo Xinliang and others also decided to help him inherit the position of family governor, and then with the help of the relationship between the two parties before, let the Jing family become a help for the Luo family's local actions in Tokaido. Moreover, even if Ii Naoto's local father, Ii Naomori, did not have an accident in the end, it was a good investment to be able to have a good relationship with Ii Naoto.

And for the complicated calculations in the conscience of Roche Shin, Maeda Toshiie, Shima Zuo and Ah Song naturally did not know, they were already stunned by the scene that appeared in front of them at this time, and after standing in place, watching Roche Nobuya and Jing Yi Naohu get up, they suddenly woke up, and then Maeda Toshiya "coughed", left the trunk of the hiding place, and slowly walked towards Roche Shinra and others, and asked, "Can you ask one thing?" ”

"What's the matter?" As if he had already discovered them, Shinra did not appear to be frightened, but replied with his head held high.

"May I ask if there is a son of Shinra here?"

Nobuya glanced deeply at Maeda Toshiie, Shimasa, and Amatsu, and instantly remembered the information about the three of them that had been passed on in advance by the staff of the Intelligence Pavilion of the main family, so he immediately replied:

"It's down there."

"Huh? It turns out that Your Excellency is the son of Shinrao? A cry of surprise rang out from the woods......

(Sorry, cold, toothache, fever...... The whole person is so tired, I really don't even have the spirit to go back and check this chapter again for any mistakes and omissions, please forgive me. Today's 10,000-word update promise has finally been completed, everyone, good night! The air in the Internet café is really bad, and I'm going home. (To be continued......)
