Swallow Back

Mrs. Iori over there is a woman who already knows the affairs, not ignorant Shao Ai, she just bowed her head shyly for a moment, she didn't see any movement, she packed up her mood, raised her head and smiled, walked forward, and bowed her knees in front of Liu Yun: "Lord Liuyun, are you okay?"

"Ah...very good, very good." Liu Yun returned to his senses and replied, subconsciously taking a half step back, thinking about it, he took a step forward, and he almost bumped into it, he hurriedly retreated, and pretended to cough twice. : "Actually I'm thinking about things."

Iori bowed her head and smiled, as if she did not see this chaotic appearance, and said softly: "Everything today has really wronged Mr. Liuyun. You should have made great achievements, made a name for yourself, and married the noble and beautiful princess of a famous family. Liu, the ominous man..."

Hearing this, Liu Yun's already complicated mood became even more complicated.

These remarks are just polite words on the surface.In fact, I could hear a sense of self-pity and compromise.

It shows that she has made some kind of consciousness.

But on the other hand, Iori expressed intentionally or unintentionally that she was forced to do this kind of consciousness because she was forced to submit to the situation.

Not willingly.

Thinking about it this way, I seem to be even more excited...

But after that moment of twisted excitement, Liu Yun immediately felt that something was wrong.

I'm a good man, can't I use my own charm to convince the beauty?Does it have to be forced by external circumstances?

Bullying, is it interesting?

In fact, it may be really interesting, just like the famous scholar Lei Tiger said, "Bullying people is the root of happiness"...

But a protagonist with noble qualities obviously can't be so vulgar.

This boring self-esteem broke out for a while, and the charming mind was much lighter.

Liu Yun's mentality changed, but his expression didn't change. He raised his head to look left and right, and suddenly pointed to the top with a smile: "There is a curtain in this room."

The topic changed too quickly, Iori couldn't react for a while, and after a while, he said timidly: "This curtain can separate the room and divide it into two..."

Liu Yun nodded and replied: "That's very good, I still have some things to think about. Please, Mrs. Iori, close the curtain and rest first."

Then he turned around without hesitation.

Iori was stunned for a moment, then bowed her knees and said timidly, "Yes." She slowly pulled up the curtain, and her figure disappeared behind the curtain.

At the same time, there seems to be a curtain in Liu Yun's heart, which he slowly closed with his own hands.

Can not help but feel lost.

But there is an indescribable ease.

Probably because of maintaining the noble character of the protagonist of the transmigrator.

Amitabha, sleep, sleep!

To be a man, you have to say what you say. Since you have decided not to take action tonight, you will not regret it.

However, it is not appropriate to go out to find another house, it will appear too deliberate.

Just deal with it...

It is best to be in the same room, separated by a curtain.

There is no bed in this room, but a one-foot-high table is set up on the side of the wall, and a few tatami mats are laid on it for sitting and sleeping.

The middle is divided into two, and the remaining area is still enough for a single person to lie down.

There are plenty of quilts in the drawer next to them.

Just why did we make curtains before?

Could it be that the relationship between the cheap brother and Iori is not harmonious?

Forget it, it's useless to think about it.

Liu Yun lay silently on the tatami, cleaning up his uneasy thoughts.

Suddenly I heard a gnat-like sigh from the other side of the curtain.

The voice was so soft that if it weren't for someone with high martial arts skills like Liu Yun, he would never have noticed it.

Hearing that voice, it seemed to be saying "Finally at ease".

Sure enough, Iori had to make up her mind just now, she wasn't really in a hurry to find a man.

However, her tone... seemed a little regretful.

It's hard to guess what the emotion is.

After all, a woman's mind is...

Chapter 7 FireWire promotion

This night, Liu Yun rarely slept well, and woke up a little uncomfortable in the morning.

However, his physique is unusual, even if his state is low, he is still far better than ordinary people.

Mrs. Iori's sleep quality doesn't seem to be ideal, with dark circles looming, but after washing and dressing, she looks refreshed.

Early in the morning, she took out a bag of copper coins from the treasury, summoned dozens of villagers, and ordered to assist the old monk Xinghe and the young monk to build a temple with the wind.

This is also what Liu Yun deliberately explained yesterday.

Iori started to do it so quickly, showing a dedicated attitude, probably deliberately showing respect and obedience to the new lord.

With such a diligent attitude, all she asks for is to keep her position as "The Mistress of the Sasaki Family".

It just so happened that Liu Yun did not intend to deprive this authority, but was happy to see someone share it.

After all, most of the things in the collar are trivial matters. If you really want to stand out and make a career, the direction is not here.

Moreover, the people were both frightened and conflicted in front of Liu Yun before, and they only knew how to cry and cry.But when Mrs. Iori spoke, they acted in awe and obedience, obediently obeying orders.

It can be seen that she is sure to manage the family well on weekdays.

Iori explained to Liu Yun: "These twenty or thirty households are all those with large families but not enough fields and boats. They usually have to help workers to make ends meet. They are hired at the price of [-] yuan a day for men and [-] yuan for women, children, the elderly and the weak. They help build the temple, and they only need more than ten passes before and after, and they will not cause disgust."

Listening to this, the labor cost of doing this should be much lower than the market price.

Of course Liu Yun would not have an opinion.

The old monk Xinghe and the young monk Suifeng were very happy to see that the temple repairs had come to an end so quickly.

Everyone had a ritual of praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits, which must be done before civil engineering, and then the construction officially started.

Xinghe used to have experience in building temples by himself. He was barely an unlicensed architect, so let him be the commander.The villagers have also participated in some general labor labor, and they are not beginners.

This seems to be nothing to worry about.

On the other hand, Eguchi Sukezaemon's side, after urging marriage, remembered another important thing.

He seriously invited Liu Yun to the ancestral temple of the Sasaki family.

It is said that it should be a simple sacrificial ceremony.

For the samurai who lived in the feudal society, sacrifice was of course a very important thing, and Liu Yun could understand that.

But after listening to Eguchi Sukezaemon's explanation, I realized that today's situation is different from what I imagined.

According to that guy, in this era of strange power and chaos, monks rely on the power of gods and Buddhas, onmyoji study magic techniques, and samurai, in addition to diligently practicing martial arts, should also pay attention to communicating with their ancestors in the process of sacrificing, activating Potential power in the blood.

It is recognized that the stronger the ancestor, the stronger the bloodline power.

Ashikaga Yoshiki, the general of the previous generation, is said to have successfully stimulated all the blood potential of the Ashikaga family.

Although in the end he was besieged and beaten to death by hundreds of elite warriors led by Miyoshi and Sanyo, four or fifty people were actually killed in the process, which is shocking.

So Eguchi Sukezaemon expected Liu Yun to activate the blood of the Sasaki family.

Out of curiosity, Liu Yun also gave it a try.

According to the popular saying, after practicing martial arts, burn a few sticks of incense in the temple at home, then sit upright, get rid of distracting thoughts, close your eyes and enter meditation, you will have the opportunity to sense the breath of the ancestors.

Liu Yun is clearly a master of martial arts.

But he sat for two or three hours, burned dozens of incense sticks, and had no response at all.

I don't know if it is because he is a transmigrator and his soul is not pure enough, or because he is always thinking about the things last night and his mind is not focused enough.

Maybe if you try it before mentioning marriage, you can concentrate and activate it successfully!

Liu Yun was not disappointed.

As soon as I come to the ancestors of the Sasaki family, there seem to be not many great people worth mentioning, and even if it is activated, it may not be of much use.

Second, according to popular sayings, whether the power of blood can be stimulated, or how much it can be stimulated, is inherently irregular.

Eguchi Sukezaemon is quite low, and it seems that he is really loyal to the Sasaki family.

He sighed and said, "Even Lord Liuyun can't do it. It seems that the power of Duke Daoyu back then seems to be unlucky for his descendants to inherit."

Liu Yun has limited historical knowledge and has never heard of the name "Sasaki Daoyu". He was curious and asked: Who is "Daoyu Gong"?

As a result, Eguchi Sukezaemon couldn't answer, he only knew that he was a powerful character from the Sasaki family hundreds of years ago.Because the genealogy is being interrupted in disorder, it is not clear how many generations it is.

Liu Yun thought to himself, maybe it was the descendants who climbed the dragon and the phoenix under the false name of the door!However, there is no need to say this publicly, it will easily hurt morale.

The matter of ancestor worship will come to an end for now.

Next, since he agreed to marry Iori and put incense at the ancestral temple, a small country lord with few rules like the Sasaki family has no necessary procedures to do.

The only follow-up task is to lead the troops to Hengshan Castle to meet with Tokichiro Kinoshita.

Once you have the approval of that guy, you can officially stand your ground.

However, the territory has been damaged recently and cannot provide enough troops, which is a headache.

In this regard, Liu Yun's decision is - not to take it seriously.

Since there is only one samurai left, Eguchi Sukezaemon, I simply don't bring it, just stay and watch the house.There are too many peasants and soldiers, it is useless, there are three or five people to help carry bags and wait.

The size of the so-called "ten warriors and 120 ashigaru" in the past is definitely far from complete. If there is any doubt, it will be replaced by personal force that can match a hundred people.

The scene of the knife being shot, Masayoshi Hashisuka had seen it with his own eyes, so Tokichiro Kinoshita would have no opinion.

Liu Yun weighed the weight of low-level samurai such as Hayami Kiybei and Eguchi Suzaemon, and felt that as long as he had a sword in his hand, he had a good chance of winning against ten samurai and 120 ashigaru by himself.

Having said this idea, Eguchi Sukezaemon had no choice but to accept it with a bitter face.

However, Iori suggested: "How can there be no retainers around Lord Liuyun? There are two servants here who were dowry from Kyoto. They have learned martial arts before and know the rules. If they have a great sword, they can probably serve as samurai. "

Eguchi Sukezaemon thought it was inappropriate: "How can you pretend to be a samurai?"

Liu Yun felt that it was okay: "If it is really available, I will accept it as a retainer and give it an official warrior status."
