[Comprehensive] There are thirteen days left until the collapse of the Honmaru

I don't know if it's because the bed is too cold, or because of the headache after drinking alcohol, anyway, Yasuhara Tokiha woke up in the middle of the night, her mind was full of thoughts of going to the bathroom, she put on her haori in a daze and went out .

...and did not see the old man who had been kicked to the other side of the quilt at all.

It has to be said that money is good, not to mention the big house, many corridors and twists and turns look very similar in the middle of the night.

After finally solving the personal hygiene problem with the lantern in hand, the inquisitor lived up to expectations... and lost his way.

Confused, she held a paper lantern emitting a faint yellow light, and stood at the end of the same corridor, looking at several directions of this fork with a confused face.

I'm going, how can I walk back to the guest room?

I always feel that if I ask the maid in the room for help, I will be dragged in and unable to get out for the night. This time, there is no Hotaru to save me...

The inquisitor, whose head was still a little drunk and in pain, completely forgot that there is a trick of spiritual power positioning that can touch her little friend's room. She just tightened the thin bed roll (white pajamas) on her body, and fortunately she had a thick feather weave to keep out the cold , it is simply the treasure of this winter night.

Suddenly, Yasuhara Tokiha saw a strange person sitting on the snow-covered stone bridge in the courtyard ahead, with his back turned to him.

The snow fell on him, but he didn't brush it off, but let it cover him.

What a weirdo.The judge scratched his head.

If she is awake, she will definitely realize the abnormal situation, turn around and run or summon a spiritual knife to protect herself.But now, because her brain is not working very well, she walked up to that weird snowman very frankly.

"Hi, excuse me." Yasuhara Tokiha asked politely, "Excuse me, do you know how to get to the guest room?"

"Oh, can you see me?"

The weirdo blinked, and all the snow fell off his face, revealing his delicate face underneath.The god judge didn't pay attention to it at first, and then he jumped off the bridge suddenly, shaking off his whole body with snowflakes, revealing the tough and strong tendons underneath!

oh fuck.

Why Yasuhara could see his muscles, because this guy was dressed very coolly, like a summer bikini or something... He happened to be a tall and handsome guy with a handsome face.

"huhuhu, are you a guest of the Tokugawa family? Why, lost in the middle of the night?"

He laughed strangely, and Yasuhara Tokiha noticed that this person had messy long pink hair, and two bunny ear-like furs stood up playfully.

"Well, I am Yunge Chuanzheng who was invited to be a guest." The interrogator's mood was very stable without any fluctuations.In her subconscious mind, it is very normal to have colorful hair, "Are you a relative of Mr. Ieyasu?"

"A relative?" The weirdo tilted his head, resting his chin on his hands, showing his shining biceps, "huhuhu, I'm not worthy to be that person's relative."

"Oh... I understand." It's understandable if it's an illegitimate child or something, after all, it's normal for Tokugawa Ieyasu to dislike such an illegitimate child if he still dyes his hair in this day and age.

However, the other party's expression was a little subtle, "What did you understand?"

"Uh... Your Excellency's difficulties?"

The man stared at her sincere expression for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, "You don't understand at all! Forget it, come with me to sit and chat over there, and I'll take you back to the guest room later." .”

Yasuhara Tokiwa was also very happy to find a free tour guide, after all, she is also very good at talking, "Then thank you very much."

The place where the two sat was at the bottom of the corridor that the interrogator had just passed by.Although I thought it was weird to just sit on the cold floor like this, but looking at the white fluffy balls of rabbit tails on the other party's pants, it seemed to be even colder, and Yasuhara was embarrassed to protest.

——This Mr. Bastard dresses so avant-gardely.

"Sorry, the conditions here are not good, and the hospitality is not good enough." The man noticed her flickering hesitation just now, and suddenly squinted his eyes and smiled, which didn't look so weird.

"Hahaha, it's okay." The judge smiled generously, "But it's so late, why are you sitting in the snow? Aren't you cold?"

"huhuhu, it's okay." The person turned his eyes to the snow scene in the courtyard with great interest, "Only the biting cold can make me feel alive."

Hearing this, Yasuhara Tokiha felt an inexplicable sense of pity... This man is really pitiful, it is fine if he is not recognized by his father, and he has not been given enough cloth to dress him, and in the end he has to lean against the snow Sitting sick at night to get my father's attention.

so miserable!Helpless, this is a family matter, and it is not easy for an outsider to ask too much.

Besides, Tokugawa Ieyasu doesn't seem to have an adult son of Yuanfu. Since the eldest son committed suicide in the Nobunaga era, Ieyasu's sons still don't have a Yuanfu.Before the eldest second son reaches adulthood, he probably won't easily let go of the heir in front of him, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling more pity for the weird man in front of her.

"Your hair is a little messy, do you need me to help you comb it?"

"……Eh?"

The weirdo opened his eyes wide in bewilderment, looking at the middle-aged greasy uncle with a gentle face in front of him, he thought it was only normal for a girl to say such words...

In the end, he smiled helplessly and turned his back, "Then I will trouble Mr. Chuanzheng."

An Yuan didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior, she took out the wooden comb she carried with her in her sleeve, and carefully combed the long pink hair of the other party.

"Your hair is fine."

"Huhuhu, yes. I didn't pay attention to such small things before."

"Have you lived here for a long time?" Yasuhara Tokiha habitually inquired about gossip.

"Well... almost, I was here when the family that ruled this land was still named Matsudaira."

The hand of the god judge who was combing his hair paused, it turned out that he was not an illegitimate child!But Tokugawa Ieyasu's...elder? !

Even if the elders like to make waves, Tokugawa Ieyasu can't just leave people in the snow. It seems that that guy is also a hypocrite.

But when she was thinking, the other party asked slowly: "Master Chuanzheng is here to form an alliance with the Tokugawa family. In recent days, several famous people have come here..." He said When I got here, I let out a few disdainful laughs, "But the ones who are sent are all retainers. There are no brave names like you who came here in person."

Judge: "..."

If it weren't for the soldiers with swords to protect the body, I wouldn't dare to run wild in other people's lairs.Of course, modest words still have to be said.

"Hahaha, I just pay more attention to this alliance, it can't be called brave."

After hearing this, the strange man thought for a while, and said abruptly: "huhuhu, it may be presumptuous to say so, but I think, Mr. Chuanzheng, you are different from the people here."

The judge was scared to pee when he heard it: How did this guy see my identity as an outsider? !

"...Maybe you can end this troubled world." The strange man continued to add without noticing her strange pause.

"Your Excellency, everyone wants to end this troubled world, but no one has been able to do it for a hundred years." The judge smiled, "However, there are many heroes today, and perhaps among my generation, there are such Heroes and heroes can restore peace to the world."

What she said was actually Tokugawa Ieyasu, but the weirdo should be a native of this place, and it is understandable that he does not understand history.

So they analyzed the general trend of the world and the current disaster problem.The weirdo thinks that the country will usher in a new life only if it gets over it.

"Do you attach so much importance to the disaster of the Kuroshio?" Yasuhara asked in surprise. As a local resident, it is rare to be able to see the dangers of the time-traveling army and the adverse consequences of indulging its development-you must know that some places The big names on the Internet don't think this is a thing at all.

"I value this world, and I want to find a lord who can value me." The strange man let out a long breath, "But this world has nothing to do with me after all, after all, I am..."

His voice was very low in the second half of the sentence, Yasuhara Tokiha couldn't hear it clearly, but it must not be a good vocabulary.

She just helped him comb the rest of his long hair silently, but in the end she couldn't find it when she was looking for a hair tie, so she had to ask him if he had it.

Unexpectedly, the strange man actually took out a hair rope and handed it to her.

"Why is your hair disheveled when you have a headband?"

The strange man retorted: "Even if I am neatly dressed, who will I show it to?"

"Clothes are not only for outsiders to see, but more for the presentation of self-expression." The judge helped him tie up his long hair with a smile, "Even if life is difficult, even if you are not appreciated by others, you should cheer up ah."

The weirdo smiled, turned around without answering, raised his hand and stroked his long hair curiously, as if surprised that they could lie behind him so obediently.

Yasuhara Tokiha put away the comb and knelt back to her original position. She said apologetically, "I don't have a mirror at hand. I'm afraid you have to go back to your room to check it. But my craft is just like this, combing people's hair, and then You can’t do more delicate and beautiful hairstyles.”

"It's okay, it's enough, I'm very happy." The man looked at her and chuckled, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't believe it, and repeated, "I'm really happy."

His eyes were shining, revealing the light of sincerity.

The judge immediately showed a smile of trying to remain humble after being praised.

In the past, my roommate said that her hair combing skills were as bad as a dog's X, but I didn't expect that in this era, there are still people who can appreciate it!

"By the way, I still have a question I want to ask Mr. Chuanzheng."

"Huh? Tell me, please." The judge sat upright and prepared to listen.

The person in front of him took a deep breath, trying to maintain a calm tone as if trying to calm himself down.

"Can a person like me really... meet his favorite master?"

How strange is the prefix of this description.

Yasuhara Tokiha complained in his heart, but he still laughed on the surface, and was about to answer, but a third voice behind him interrupted their conversation.

"grown ups?"

The voice was milky and milky, with the smell of just waking up.

The examiner suddenly turned his head, and found that it was a little boy dressed in a light green background with white bamboo patterns embroidered on it. The latter was holding a small candlestick, rubbing his eyes and looking at him.

"Are you Chuan Zhenggong who came to visit today?" The little guy said sleepily, "Why are you sitting here alone?"

Yasuhara Tokiha turned pale when she heard the words, and she quickly turned her head to look in the direction of the strange man—is there still a half-figure in the empty corridor?

Fuck?Did I comb the ghost's hair tonight? !

She woke up instantly with fright, and the original drunkenness dissipated immediately.

"This... is actually because I was a little tired from walking just now..."

The hypocritical Yasuhara stood up quickly, not knowing how to explain the fact that he was lost... Isn't it too embarrassing to tell the truth to a child, and the other party's age is only three or four years old!

Just after she stammered the explanation, the child smiled cutely: "I am the third son of the family, Chang Songmaru. Today, I heard from my mother that there is an important guest at home, so I wonder if it might be you."

The judge walked up to him and knelt down, and said with a smile, "No, I'm just here."

"Sure enough, it's Chuan Zhenggong!" Chang Songmaru was very happy because he guessed the answer correctly.Then he said obediently again: "Actually, there is one thing I want to beg you..."

What's the matter with your Tokugawa family, both humans and ghosts like to beg others?

"Tell me about it, kid."

"I want to go back to my room after getting up to go to the toilet, but I dare not leave alone, and I don't want to wake up the maid..." The child winked at her, "Can you accompany me?"

"alright."

Yasuhara Tokiha sighed, picked him up, and Nagamatsu Maru obediently took the lantern in her hand and showed her the way.

"Chuan Zhenggong, please go this way."

The light of lanterns and candles shone on the paper door, reflecting the figure of Yasuhara hugging Nagamatsumaru, and the third tall figure with folded arms, silently watching them leave.

As a result, after walking around for five or six minutes, the interrogator finally sent the person to the door of the room. She put the child back on the ground, and the latter thanked her in a low voice.

"Ah, by the way, Mr. Chuan Zhenggong, you will walk all the way to the end of this corridor, then turn left, and it will be your room."

He took the small candlestick with a smile, and bowed deeply to her, "Thank you for your company tonight, Chang Songmaru is very grateful."

The judge was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't that the child didn't dare to go back alone, but seeing her alone, he wanted to show her the way tactfully, and was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so he deliberately made such a request.

Is he so gentle at such a young age... A hero like Tokugawa Ieyasu will raise such a gentle son.

"Changmatsumaru, wait a minute." Yasuhara Tokiha pulled off his haori coat, took out a cypress fan engraved with the family crest from his waist, bent down and handed it to him, "This is my token, and now I will give it to you You, you can take it and make any request to me later—but for now, I hope you will be a great man someday."

The little guy was stunned for a few seconds, put down the candlestick at his feet, did not refuse, but took the gift respectfully with both hands.

"Thank you for your gift, Chuan Zhenggong."

The judge touched his head, smiled and went back to sleep.

Suddenly, she felt much more at ease—maybe there was a good candidate for the management of the territory after she left.

After all, in real history, after the second son became Hideyoshi's adopted son (hostage), Nagamatsumaru, the third son, changed his name to Tokugawa Hidetada after Yuanfu and became Ieyasu's true heir.

At the same time, he himself is also the second-generation general of the Tokugawa shogunate, a conservative and prudent monarch who has truly inherited and perfected the country and the shogunate system laid down by his father.

The next day, after waking up and having breakfast, Tokugawa Ieyasu was not in a hurry to sign a covenant with her, but took the judge and a group of subordinates to play in the garden.At the same time, introduce to her that the decoration and setting of each place have a lot of origins.

At the end of this play process, they happened to pass by a remote courtyard.

"What's in here?" Hotaru looked at the door curiously, "Why is there still a magic talisman on it?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had always been smiling kindly, finally changed his face when he heard the words. He was silent for a moment, and said in a sad tone: "The ominous demon sword is sealed inside!"

"Demon sword?" Yasuhara Tokiha said in a daze, and couldn't help but think of the strange figure that was somewhat miserable last night.

"My grandfather and other elders all died under that demon sword! It was not until I took power in the family that I sealed it to prevent it from continuing to do evil." Ieyasu shook his head, not wanting to say anything more, "That man named Qianzi Muramasa's demon sword is haunted by ominous evil spirits. Let's get out of here and go drink tea and rest."

Several Tokenfusangshen who followed showed displeasure on their faces. In their view, it was a foolish act to blame the sword as an object.The perpetrators are the ones who really do evil, but ignorant human beings think that there are evil spirits living on it...how ridiculous.

But due to being on other people's territory, and the inquisitor's face was expressionless and expressionless, everyone was not easy to get angry, so they had to walk forward with their heads sullen.

Yasuhara Tokiha unknowingly fell at the end of the line. Suddenly, she stopped and looked up at the sky.

The sky that has snowed is really blue.

"We will meet." She suddenly said something that seemed a little weird, "This world will usher in long-lost peace and new life, and you will eventually get rid of the shackles of fate and meet a suitable master."

The world is so big, life is so long, as long as we live, there will definitely be different changes.

At this time, Jiro Taidao in the team turned back to look for her: "Master, why don't you leave, are the shoelaces loose?"

"...my shoes don't have laces, Jiro. Forget it, let's go." The judge retorted weakly, she shrugged, and left the small courtyard covered with talismans without looking back.

"Thank you."

Vaguely, she heard the familiar voice in the wind, with a little smile and rare expectation.
