the world

"The woman of celestial knowledge knows what I am referring to. It is the clear water I drank when I was young. It is a fetish made by the woman of celestial knowledge."

"Didn't the general ask for Qingshui at a high price? Didn't the general say that my connection with Qingshui is a rumor? How many people in the capital believe it?"

"I believed it, so I didn't let others believe it. If these people knew that the existence of Qingshui was real, how many people would want to fight for you? It was just a small country worth hanging in my heart, and it would be mobbed all of a sudden. And attack it." Ashikaga Yoshio said, "I know you are scruples about this, so you deny it. Instead of worrying about that day, it is better to belong to me directly. Your reputation and status will far exceed today."

"If the general gets this power, what does the general want to do?"

Hearing Taki Wakaba's question, Ashikaga Yoshio felt that this was a test she had given before she agreed, "Let Ashikaga's name resound throughout the world, you will become a companion above the Inaba clan, and will' Taki's family is the head of the three imperial families."

"Why does the general think he can do it? Why is it so direct this time?"

Compared with last time's solicitation, Ashikaga Yoshio was much more straightforward this time.

"I was assassinated last month." Ashikaga Yoshio told the confidential information, "There was a ninja who pretended to be my pawn and wanted to assassinate me when I was traveling, but was blocked by Inaba. So I I think I should recruit you as soon as possible. Although the tortoise lives long, there is still time. I have the surname of Ashikaga, and I am in the position of general. It’s not as good as those daimyos who have gained great fame since they were young, but is it important to live long? The effect of Shimizu makes people flock to it, and with it, you can control more things than you can imagine.”

"If one day the people who made the clear water no longer exist, will the countries gathered because of the clear water still be peaceful? Even if you have firmly grasped their rights in the palm of your hand, can dissatisfaction be suppressed? Such a short-term peace and a short-term gain Is the world the general wants to see? Whether it is clear water or ghosts and gods, it can only be regarded as an accident, like a shooting star passing by the sky, which is short-lived and cannot stay for a long time. After all, the brilliance brought by meteors is not as good as that of humans Let the torches held be bright and long."

"It's so strange, girl with knowledge." Ashikaga Yoshio frowned, "Are you a daimyo? But what you said doesn't seem to be motivated by ambition or planning at all. Where do you stand to look at the world? Are you worried about the future of this world?"

Looking at the unmoved Taki Wakaba, Ashikaga Yoshio said: "You still don't want to admit that Shimizu came from you. Although I don't want others to get you, I have been deliberately suppressing the mystery about you all these years. Are you really not worried about your future? At that time, you may know my tenderness for you. "

"If they attack Yishui for the sake of Qingshui, they will regret it. You don't need to worry about the general. Force or gentleness, but which is the better choice. The general will be gentle with me, but the general's situation is more suitable for action." Give it a courtesy."

After Taki Wakaba left, Ashikaga Yoshio changed to a more comfortable sitting position, and said, "Is there anyone in this world who can convince a woman of heavenly knowledge? What this woman believes is as stubborn as a rock."

The sliding door on one side was pushed open, and Inaba was coming out of it. He had been listening to the conversation: "The girl of heavenly knowledge has been rejecting the general, but I think the general has always been kind, and he didn't even show any kindness to the girl of heavenly knowledge. pressure."

"I wanted to be angry at first, but the woman of heavenly knowledge is such a rare beauty, and it is difficult for me to be angry when I look at her face. My three concubines are all rare beauties, but they are not as good as heavenly knowledge A glance at the woman." Ashikaga Yoshio said, "I have regressed again and again, and the woman of heavenly knowledge has to make a choice after all. Since it is impossible to negotiate with her, let her make a choice in advance."

"The subordinates will arrange it."

Seeing Taki Wakaba's return, Hyakkimaru told her about Mrs. Bai's invitation.

"I only met Mrs. Bai once before, why would you want to ask me out? What do you think of her, Hyakkimaru?"

"She doesn't seem to like life in the General's Mansion very much, and she doesn't seem to like the General too much."

"Then I'll go to her appointment. If you don't have anything to do in the afternoon, you can stay here first."

"I feel that the general's mansion is sitting very leisurely all the time." Tai Mitsuyo sighed.

"I don't know what the lady of Tianzhi will talk to Mrs. Bai." Liu Yu said.

"Hyakkimaru said that Mrs. Bai wanted to ask her to appreciate jewelry. After all, it's a girl's topic, playing flower cards and so on." Yakiri Hasebe's tone became lower and lower. In fact, it was hard for him to imagine Taki Wakaba Talk to other women about girly topics.Sitting upright all the time, Taki Wakaba, who is in command of the overall situation as a general, has left an indelible image in the heart of Yakiri Hasebe.

"Sugar." Bai Guiwan put the sugar between the four of them, "Madam Bai gave it."

There happened to be a maid outside who knocked on the door twice, and after getting the answer, they came in and brought refreshments. They wanted to accompany them in the house, but Liu Yu told them to leave.

"The life in the General's Mansion is really comfortable." Liu Yu picked up a piece of peony cake and put it in his mouth, "Cutting Chang Gubu, don't you want to eat it?"

"...It's peony cake again, but there's tea, so it doesn't matter." Pressing and cutting Hasebe also ate a piece.

"I don't know what kind of glutinous rice this is. The quality is really good. It would be great if Yishui could also grow this kind of glutinous rice." Tamitsu Taidian subconsciously wondered whether Yishui could also grow this kind of high-quality glutinous rice.

"This time, buy some seeds that Isui doesn't have. Mio has been cultivating crops, and she will be very happy." Hyakkimaru said while chewing on the peony cake.

"Let's go to the harbor and have a look. There will be a lot of new things on the foreign boat. Besides seeds, you should also bring something that girls like." Liu Yu suggested.

The four of them were like having a tea party, chatting while eating tea, the atmosphere was leisurely and pleasant, and even when Taki Ruoye returned, the four of them were still chatting happily.

"It seems that it's a pity that I didn't give you wine." After entering the door, Taki Ruoye smiled and saw that they were chatting happily.

"Miss Tianzhi, this is?" Liu Yu pointed to the scroll that Taki Ruoye was holding in his hand.

"This is the portrait that Mrs. Bai drew for me and gave it to me."

"Ms. Bai's painting is really good. With such a level, Mrs. Bai's painting skills are not well-known." Yashi Hasebe unfolded the scroll and looked at it.

"Is the mother and Mrs. Bai getting on well? If the dinner wasn't about to come, would the mother continue to chat with her?"

"It's just fine now. But Hyakkimaru, you are right, the dinner party is coming soon, let's go to the banquet." Taki Wakaba saw Hyakkimaru frowned, "We will go back tomorrow, we don't need to see their face."

"...It's ok."

The atmosphere of the dinner party was more harmonious than that of the lunch party, because the Spring Festival was approaching, and all the people in the audience were talking about some pleasant things, which really meant welcoming the new year.

Halfway through the banquet, dancers and singers performed one after another, followed by a woman in white holding a piano and preparing to start a solo.

Since it is her special solo, it shows that her skills are very superb.

The figure of the piano girl is graceful, her beautiful eyes are full of affection, and her temperament is like Liu Fufeng, which is unforgettable for people to see.She played a song, like a hundred birds chirping together, which was pleasing to the ears and eyes. Everyone present listened intently, but unexpectedly at the climax, the strings of the qin girl broke and made a harsh and strange sound.

"I know I was wrong! I don't know why the strings of this zither suddenly broke, I—"

"You should be punished for making such a nasty mistake on such an important occasion." Inaba glanced at Qin Nu lightly, "Since your hands are so disobedient, then cut them off."

"No, it's the piano's problem..." Qin Nu lowered her head, weeping.

"Your hands are so beautiful, it's a pity to cut them off." Ashikaga Yoshio said, "In order to attract Jing Ke, Prince Dan cut off the hands of the qin girl and gave them to Jing Ke. Jing Ke was very moved and willing to serve Prince Dan. Today I will imitate Prince Dan and give this Qin girl both hands to Tianzhi girl, how about it?"

"More than that, this Qin girl deserves to be punished for her crime, and then she will be tied up in the courtyard until dawn." Inaba said.

This is a game against Taki Wakahafu!Press-cut Hasebe realized this right away.Regardless of whether Taki Wakaba accepts Qin Nu's hand or not, Ashikaga Yoshio will definitely cut off Qin Nu's hand.The Qin girl whose hands were cut off must not last until dawn.Yoshio Ashikaga has been coveting Shimizu for a long time, if Taki Wakaba saves Qin Nu, she will no longer be able to deny the existence of Shimizu.

However, the latter will not happen.Hasebe's clenched fist was lowered again.

Ashikaga Yoshio saw Taki Wakaba's compassion, and he expected that she would not do anything to save Qin Nu, but he didn't see it clearly enough, and Kakiri Hasebe understood this.

If it was Taki Ruoye, she wouldn't even accept Qin Nu's hands being cut off, and she wouldn't let the premise of Qin Nu being tied up happen at all.

Even if the severed hands can be regrown after Taki Wakaba's treatment, the pain and fear that has been suffered will still be imprinted in the heart.

Taki Wakaba is not indifferent to the pain of others.

"It's just a small mistake, the general's punishment is too much. I never praised Qin Nu's hand, why did the general give me Qin Nu's hand?" Taki Ruoye replied.

"This is Kyoto, not Yishui. The woman of heavenly knowledge still has to pay attention to her identity." Inaba said in a flat tone.

Is the general no longer ready to be soft?Being so tough, he was forcing Taki Wakaba to show his allegiance to him.

What will Taki Wakaba do?Hasebe looked at Taki Wakaba, but couldn't think of a good way.

How to do?

Seeing that Taki Wakaba was silent, Ashikaga Yoshio smiled and said, "Then drag the Koto girl down, don't let the blood stain the floor."

As he spoke, he looked at Taki Wakaba, he was on top, and Taki Wakaba was on the bottom. He seemed to be satisfied with this view, watching Taki Wakaba's expression as if he was in control of the overall situation.

"It's better to destroy such a general." Dadian Tai Guangshi said in a low voice.

If possible, I really want to kill him now.Hasebe looked at the crying Qin Nu and felt upset.

He thought that no matter what Taki Ruoye did later, he would assist her.Even if Taki Ruoye irrationally turns his face here and wastes all his previous efforts to break Yishui's current stable development situation, he will follow her without hesitation.

Pressing Hasebe's back looking forward, that is his lord, the one and only person he wants to help win the world.
