Inquisitor's Melancholy

Green plum sweet wine, shaded by green trees.

Li Xian was sitting at the table, drinking a glass of amazake. If he hadn't moved Xingguang, he would have liked the sweet taste, but unfortunately he wasn't here.

I don't know what's going on with them, but it's time to join them.

"Lixian, what are you thinking? Is this wine not to your liking?"

Seeing that Reixian took a sip of amazake and didn't do anything else, Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help asking, and he also felt that a stronger drink would be better.However, Jing Sheng and Jian Xu were present, so it would be better to take the children with them to drink amazake, which is not too intoxicating.

"No, sorry, I'm not good at drinking."

Perhaps because of the influence of Sanri Yuezong, Li Xian drank tea far more than alcohol, but that didn't mean he didn't drink at all.After all, there are sword men like Jiro Tachi and Nippon Kai who are addicted to alcohol by his side, so Reiko will accompany them for a drink or two in his free time.

"Huh—?" As if hearing something strange, Kenshin Uesugi put down his wine plate, stared at Li Xian for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"Then I'm curious how you look when you're drunk."

The young man in front of him always behaved calmly and steadily. Similarly, he also had a sense of alienation that no one could get into his heart.

Maybe he said it too seriously. After all, they had only known each other for a day, and they were not very familiar with each other at first, but the youth gave him such a feeling.Obviously it doesn't look like Jing Sheng is much, but he is much better than Jing Sheng in all aspects.

Excellence is honed through pain.

What has this young man been through before?Why his eyes are so pure but without any sense of justice? Uesugi Kenshin doesn't think Reisen is a villainous person, but this is the first time he has seen such opposite characteristics manifested in the same person.

But isn't there a saying that says that?When a person is drunk, it is easier to reveal his true character, or to reveal his uncommon side.

Should he take this opportunity to get Li Xian drunk?

"Even if I drink a thousand cups of this wine, I won't get drunk."

As if seeing what Uesugi Kenshin was thinking, Li Xian picked up the amazake in his hand and drank it, then he turned the wine plate upside down, and the only drop of wine inside flowed out along the edge of the wine plate, dripping on Li Xian The edge of his lips was swept in by the tip of his tongue.

After Li Xian finished drinking, he raised his head and found that everyone was looking at him, even Mikami Tsukimune and Yamabuki Kunihiro were no exception, he tilted his head in doubt, "What's wrong?"

"That...not..." Uesugi Kenshin didn't know how to organize his words, if he directly said what he wanted in his heart, he would be beaten, right?

"My lord." At the critical moment, Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro was more reliable, and he reminded: "My lord, you don't need to finish the wine." You don't need to stick out your tongue to lick it after you finish drinking.

Ok……

"Is that so?" Li Xian put the wine plate on the low table with a dazed expression. It seems that he still doesn't know enough about Japanese wine culture. After all, he was just drinking casually with everyone before, and no one cared about it. .

"Oh, why is it so troublesome for you to drink! Can't you just drink like me?"

Naoe Kanatsugu poured a glass of wine in a demonstrative manner, and when he was about to drink it, Li Xian stretched out his hand to stop him, "You should drink less if you are underage, you just drank three glasses secretly."

"..."

Naoe Kanetsugu reluctantly put down the wine plate, and finally Kenshin-sama was able to bring them to drink together, and it was this kind of sweet amazake, so he was not allowed to drink more?He obviously poured wine while everyone was not paying attention, why was he seen by this person?

Or, has he been observing himself?

Thinking of this, Naoe Kanetsugu's cheeks flushed, and his gaze at Reishen became subtle, which made Reishen a little confused.Forgot to say, because he has been surrounded by many swordsmen, including on the battlefield, he must clearly understand the combat situation of each swordsman, so he has developed this excellent overall observation ability.

Not only did he know that Naoe Kanatsugu was stealing a drink when everyone wasn't looking, but even Uesugi Kagekatsu was nervously kneading his fingers under the low table, Reisen also knew it very well.

He doesn't seem to be good at getting along with others, not even his own father?No, maybe it is because he is his most beloved father that Uesugi Jingsheng is so restrained?

Even this is very similar to Yamabashi Kiri Kunihiro.

"Mr. Kenshin asked us to come for more than a drink?" Li Xian asked bluntly with lowered eyes.

Uesugi Kagekatsu, Naoe Kanetsugu, except Uesugi Kagetora who doesn’t like fighting, the highly anticipated young juniors of the Uesugi Army are all here, and Amakasu Keichi, who is known as the Uesugi Army’s think tank, what do you want to do?

"It's actually like this. Our people found out that Li Xian's three subordinates went to the direction of Antu City. Was it your instruction?"

"Yes, didn't you say that my actions are free? Then it doesn't matter if I go to Azuchi City myself?"

As soon as Li Xian said these words, Uesugi Kenshin looked a little bit aggressive. He was indeed not on guard against himself, but Amakasu Kechi was different. I am afraid that the inspectors who tracked Yaki Hasebe and their whereabouts were also prepared by him. ?

"Azuchi Castle is the territory of Oda Nobunaga, do you want to be a traitor?" Naoe Kanatsugu stood up so excited that even the wine in front of him was knocked over, and the mellow wine flowed down the table.

"Traitor?" Lixian looked at Naoe Kanetsugu and chuckled, "I'm not from the Uesugi Army, so how can I say betrayal? I'm not interested in the world's wars. Don't worry, I'm not your enemy. Not your allies, if you are on guard, I can leave immediately."

"Are you leaving Uesugi Jun?"

Hearing this sentence, Uesugi Jingsheng, who had been keeping silent all this time, couldn't help asking.They just met, is he leaving?

"No, no, Mr. Li Xian misunderstood what we meant. You are not Oda Nobunaga's people. I am very clear about this. Although I am sorry that I arranged for two people to monitor your whereabouts, but because of this, I also found your identity. The subordinate was arrested by Oda Nobunaga's people, unlike Kenshin-sama's benevolence, that person is very dangerous, right?"

Amakasu Keimachi said with a smile. Seeing that Reishi was silent, he threw an olive branch, "Even if Mr. Reishi is powerful, it is impossible to take the two of them to rescue. Our Uesugi army can lend some troops to assist. You, and Jing Sheng and Jian Xu will also be at your disposal, how about it?"
