Dongxiang Heiji requested Luo Shi Huiliang to return to the Tianshou Pavilion of Feiqian National Studies in Kyushu. This was mainly because the three institutions of the Luo Shi family's internal affairs, military affairs and intelligence cabinet organized a group of peasant soldiers and materials in the Feihou Kingdom area to prepare to enter the Hinata region and continue to increase their strategies for the Hinata region. As the government affairs agent designated by the family governor Zhengliang, Luo Shi Huiliang naturally had to personally approve these affairs.&{}..{}

After handling the government affairs at hand and personally sending Heiji Togo out of the door, Luo Shi Huiliang once again picked up information about the situation of the powerful people from all over the country sent by Bandung in Kyoto.

At the forefront of the information, Oda Nobunaga, the Oda family governor of Oda, just in January this year, he secretly went to Luo with several retainers. After meeting with Shogunate Yoshiki Ashikaga in Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga returned to Ohashi.

No one knows what Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiki discussed, but after the new Oda family governor recently unified Oyakura, he did have many actions that surprised Huiliang. For example, this family governor who was originally a fool actually promoted the cultivation of sweet potatoes from the Luo family. Obviously, this family governor saw the role of sweet potatoes on military rations. If it were planted on a large scale, the military rations would naturally be greatly increased.

Of course, due to the strict control of the Luo family, although sweet potatoes were inevitably smuggled to areas outside the territory before the sea ban was implemented, the powerful people who obtained sweet potatoes from outside actually did not know that the root vines of sweet potatoes could also be planted. On the contrary, they only knew that they could use fruits to plant them. In this way, the consumption of sweet potato fruits during planting was very huge. Moreover, the planting time became longer. It was impossible to plant on a large scale in a short period of time, and it was impossible to compare with the Luo family, which could already vigorously promote the planting of sweet potatoes in all territories.

Moreover, sweet potato vines can be used as feed for horses. Of course, you also need to pay attention to the feeding amount and combine them with other feeds. Otherwise, if the amount is too much, the horse's feet will be weak. Therefore, for sweet potato vines, the Luo family's territory is generally used as feed for livestock such as plowing oxen, pigs, etc.

Of course, in addition to fully promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes, according to the report of the intelligence cabinet of the family lurking in Ohashi's territory, the military situation of the Oda family is undergoing reform, and the reference target of the reform is the Luo family. After all, his father Masaruo is the person he has always admired the most.

In addition to Oda's family's governor, Oda Nobunaga Uesugi, shortly after Oda Nobunaga left Kyoto, Nagata Masato (i.e. Kenshin Uesugi) from the Nagata family from Echigo's country, also brought a few retainers to Luo alone.

This is not the first time Nagao Masato has joined Luo. Since the last time he joined Luo, Nagao Masato has established an excellent relationship with Shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshihiro. After this meeting, the two sides immediately formed an alliance. At the same time, according to the investigation of the intelligence cabinet personnel of the family in Kyoto, Nagao Masato was also loyal to Kanbai and the left minister Kotomizuki at that time, and formed an alliance with blood letters. In fact, in history, since Kotomizuki took office as Kanbai, he went to Echigo Kingdom in the third year of Echonro (1560 AD). He made a lot of efforts in the strategy of the Ueno Kingdom in the pacification battle of Nagao Keito in Kanto.

During this period, in addition to Oda Nobunaga and Nagao Masato alone, Imakawa Yoshimoto, who is known as the first in the East China Sea, is also preparing to go to Luo at this time. Imakawa Yoshimoto's Usato was not alone in Oda Nobunaga and Nagao Masato, but in force (leading the army to go to Luo). This also caused the Tojiang Kingdom, Ohashimoto and other places to fall into tension.

Just as Luo Shi Huiliang was looking at the information about the Imakawa family, in Suruga Country in Tokaido, at this time, the cherry blossoms had already begun to bloom, but the orioles were singing everywhere. It was not the tender voice of early spring, but the melodious singing of fighting for beauty, which flowed into the ears of the generals like a clear spring.

In the courtyard of Junfu Castle, Imakawa Yoshimoto's son, Imakawa Yoshimoto's son, was in full swing with Nakaomen Nobugi, who came from the capital. The generals watched with great interest. Imakawa Yoshimoto himself made an exception and set up a curtain in the corridor, laying a carpet, and enjoying it with great enthusiasm.

The sun was hot, and the top of Mount Fuji was shining under the snow. There should be a wine gift ceremony after that, with the singing of the orioles mixed in between, which looked a little strange. Imakawa Yoshimoto's fat body leaned gently on the table, wearing a Kyoto-style outfit, and also drew his eyebrows. He was not so much appreciating Cuju, but observing the expressions of the generals. He imagined that he would soon go to the capital to run this historic game, and such an opportunity had come. Imakawa Yoshimoto's grandfather to his father, had been waiting for too long.

The Hojo family in Odawara and the Takeda family in Kafari, these allies who have kinship with him cannot reassure him. Imakawa Yoshimoto was worried that they would attack behind the scenes when he entered Beijing. What he was most worried about was Takeda Haruno. Although Imakawa Yoshimoto married Takeda Haruno's sister and placed his father-in-law Takeda Nobuki under house arrest in Junfu City, he knew very well that Takeda Haruno also wanted to enter Beijing; in this way, the two would inevitably fight sooner or later. However, Takeda Haruno is still suppressing his ambitions because he and Echigo's Nagata Kita are in stalemate. Moreover, the increasingly prosperous Miyoshi family in Kinki region and the Luo family that dominates Kyushu have made Imakawa Yoshimoto's heart more anxious.

So now is the opportunity! Imakawa Yoshimoto has begun to carefully consider the time to set off.

He casually glanced at the important officials of Kuju, Okabe, Okabe, Ohara and others who were together, and finally stopped his eyes on Jiro Matsuhira Saburo Matsuhira. Jiro Matsuhira Saburo Motonobu finished his grave visit when he was fifteen years old. After returning to Okazaki, he changed his name to Motoyashi Matsuhira. The reason was that he found that Imakawa Yoshimoto seemed to be the same as the "Nobunaga" character of Monomi's "Nobunaga" character, and was always resentful.

Imakawa Yoshimoto suddenly remembered something, and he quickly left his seat. In order not to disappoint everyone, he only brought a personal servant and disappeared silently in the curtain. Through the corridor next to the Tianshou Pavilion, he returned to the bedroom. Here you can also hear the sound of the orioles. Peach blossoms blooming under the eaves. At the door, a woman was sitting there holding a little girl.

"Oh, Ah He. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Imakawa Yoshimoto bent down and touched the head of the four-year-old girl with his hand.

This woman is his niece, who married Seranahira, the daughter of the Sekigaki Prejudice Department of Matsuhira Motoyashi. When she heard her uncle call her, Seranahira gave a regular gift. She brought Matsuhira Motoyashi's daughter Agui, and she was pregnant with another child of Matsuhira Motoyashi, and was about to give birth.

She no longer has the charm of a girl in the past, and she looks like a genuine woman. She is six years older than Matsuhira Motoyaku and twenty-four years old.

Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his fat body and leaned against the support table. "I asked you to come, not for anything else..." He looked at Senahime's white skin, "I want to ask you about Matsuhei Motoyaku."

"Matsuhira Motoyashi?"

"I heard that Zhang's fool was going to Beijing at the end of January this year. He probably wanted to teach General Yihui, who was called the "Three Good Ones". Although that kid would not succeed, I should go to Beijing."

Semine Hime nodded slightly.

"So I have to think about something. How is Matsuhei Motoyaki's relationship with you mother and daughter?"

Senahime quietly covered her bulging abdomen with her sleeves. "This time Matsuhira Motoyao wants a son, and I'm praying."

"Haha...you mean, very harmonious?"

"Thank you for your concern..."

"Okay, OK." Imakawa Yoshimoto nodded slightly, and then said seriously, "I am hesitating about whether to let Matsuhei Motoyaki be the striker when entering Beijing."

"Does Matsuhei Motoyashi have any ideas?"

"You must not be careless." Imakawa Yoshimoto's eyes moved from Semeihime's face to her abdomen. "You are bigger than Matsuhide Motoyasu. I shouldn't have said these words, but I still heard that someone in the Matsuhide Motoyasu family secretly colluded with the Oda clan. After Matsuhide Motoyasu was appointed as the striker, if you are manipulated by his retainers and cruelly abandon your mother and daughter and turn to Ohara, it will endanger my plan to enter Beijing."

Senahime smiled and shook her head, "I don't think there is any need to worry."

"You have already grasped Matsuhei Motoyaku's heart firmly?"

"I said I can't stand my husband's side room, so Matsuhira Motoyashi..."

"Oh? If you have that confidence, you shouldn't have to worry about this."

"If you have any doubts, you might as well test Matsuhei Motoyashi's heart before entering Beijing."

"Yeah." Imakawa Yoshimoto was inspired by his niece who was full of confidence. Since unifying Oda Nobunaga, the troublesome Nobunaga has often come to harass the borders of Kashiji, Nakano, and the Great High. It is better to let Matsuhira Motoyashi fight with him nearby, so that you can see both his thoughts and his skills in using troops.

"Ahe is Matsuhira Motoyashi's wife and the niece of the adults." Sena Hime was dissatisfied with her husband's suspicion. Matsuhira Motoyashi could not abandon his wife and daughter and go to the Oda family. Besides, he would have another child soon, not to mention that he should have fully felt the glory and dignity of marrying Imakawa Yoshimoto's niece.

"Then according to you, please tell us about what happened today to Matsuhira Motoyaku."

"yes."

"You go to the Inner Court to get some Kyoto snacks for your child. I'm going outside." He stood up staggeringly, his feet staggering for a moment.

"Be careful, sir."

Semine Hime rushed forward to support Imakawa Yoshimoto. Imakawa Yoshimoto leaned against her hand, with a very serious expression, and after a while, he said: "You must understand Matsuhei Motoyashi's thoughts. If you are older than him, you should pay special attention to your words and deeds."

"yes."

"Don't always use a lesson tone. It's better for women to be gentle."

Senahime nodded with a smile. In this sense, she is definitely a good wife and does not need to be reminded by others.

After Imakawa Yoshimoto left, Semine Hime did not go to the inner court, but took Agui's hand and went out directly. She was very happy to think that Matsuhei Motoyashi finally decided on her first expedition. Whether it was for Matsuhei Motoyashi or Semine Himemotoyashi, Matsuhei Motoyashi had never been allowed to command a retainer before, which was a humiliation. This was not because of his lack of ability, but because he was not trusted. Since he decided to enter Beijing, except for the Okazaki people, there might not be a more suitable person to restrain Ohashi's army.

Senahime planned to tell her husband Matsuhei Motoyashi unreservedly about the conversation with her uncle. Of course, the first war would probably happen on the border between Mikawa and Ohashi. She hoped that her husband could defeat Ohashi there, so that people would praise him as Matsuhei Kiyoshi's grandson and Quenguchi's son-in-law. She was the niece of Imakawa Yoshimoto and also Matsuhei Motoyashi's wife. The way to be a wife is to consider her husband wholeheartedly. She wanted to make her resolve early.

Matsuhira Motoyao respects his wife's opinions very much. Although Sena Hime's competitive spirit often makes him unable to obey. "It is for you to consider..." Whenever Sena Hime says this, Matsuhira Motoyao always nods his head in a mature manner.

"Look, Agui, Huangyan and Flower, your father's spring has finally arrived." Senahime handed Agui to her wet nurse's arms, went out of the door with her, and then walked under the flowers in a relaxed mood. The game outside seemed to have ended, and the sound of flutes and drums came.

"When will the sir come back?" Senahime didn't want Matsuhei Motoyao to leave her for a moment. Although fate is wonderful, it is incredible to think about it carefully.

At first she just wanted to mock Takechiyo. Because of the chance, she made a relationship with him and was completely attracted by him. For Matsuhira Motoyasu, she even visited Shimashima the day before the wedding, and was insulted by Shimashima. When she found out that she was pregnant with Agui, Sena Himeda felt embarrassed and felt that the days became dark. She always felt that she was not a descendant of Matsuhira Motoyasu, but more like Shimashima's child.

Now that the uneasiness has completely disappeared, she finally began a stable life with peace of mind. She was not worried about the rumors before her husband was younger than her. She was not ashamed of the rumors before her marriage with Matsuhei Motoyashi. As long as she thought of the word "husband", she felt extremely tender. Perhaps because she was in a difficult situation, Matsuhei Motoyashi needed her very much, and Sena Himei also felt that if she was not by her husband's side, she could not fall asleep peacefully. The couple was harmonious, and they were about to have a second child. This child was undoubtedly Matsuhei Motoyashi, and she was no longer worried and afraid. Sena Himei and her wet nurse happily turned over the stable and left the Xibianmen. The sun was shining on the embankment, the cherry blossoms were half-open and half-closed, and the grass by the moat was dark green.

"Wet nurse, you also hope to be a boy this time, right?"

"Yes, if you give birth to a young man, everyone would be so happy."

"He will definitely inherit the great cause of the Matsue family in the future, so he will use the nickname of the adult and call him Takechiyo. Come and pray too!"

"That's certain."

Senagi stretched out his hand and folded a cherry blossom and placed it in Aguitar's palm. "In the world today, I'm afraid only in the Shin Mansion and the Luo Family in Kyushu can see the scene of women traveling. Other places are suffering from thieves and wars. It is our happiness to be able to live here." Because the Imakawa family has a lot of relationships with the nobles in Kyoto, Senagi also learned a lot of news about the powerful Luo Family in Kyushu from the nobles who came to visit, especially after seeing the Southern Barbarians and Ming dynasties purchased from the Luo Family and the Ming Dynasty, Senagi knew even more about the strength of the Luo Family in Kyushu. So in her eyes, the Luo Family was the only powerful among the powerful forces in the Warring States Period that could be compared with the Imakawa family.

The wet nurse did not answer Sena Hime's question. She was the wife of Okazaki, the wife of Okazaki, who was plotting every day when she would return to Okazaki Castle. When they returned to the residence of the young master Matsuhira Motoyashi, it was already four o'clock. The sun was shining brightly, but the courtyard of this residence was not decorated with spring flowers, plants and trees. Between the tea and pear trees that had already bloomed, Matsuhira's retainer Matsuhira Masasuke was concentrating on sowing the seeds of early rice.

Semine Hime returned to the bedroom and immediately called Malasuke and asked, "Has the sir been back yet?"

Marasuke rubbed his hands on his knees stained with mud and smiled with a hint. In his eyes, Senahime was always so affectionate, and the word "adult" never left his mouth. Although the harmonious relationship between the couple is understandable, this Mrs. Suruga seems to have no yearning or longing for Okazaki. He even felt that Mrs. Suruga was blocking Matsuhei Motoyashi's return to Okazaki.

"I heard you went to Lord Imagawa?" Marasuke cleverly changed the subject and looked at Sena Hime.

"I have to tell you some things. Maybe I'll tell you clearly." Sena Hime's body was full of charm and smiled like a little girl. She didn't care about Marasuke's bitter expression at all. "Master Imagawa told me not to tell you. But how could I hide it from you? Adults are part of my life."

“You mean…”

"It's a good thing for the adults. He can finally go to war."

"Go to the expedition?"

"Yalesu, I can't go out with the adults, right?"

Yalezhu frowned and did not answer.

"Because it was the first time to go on the expedition, it would not be long. However, how many days would it take to be at the border between Ohara and Jun Mansion? I can't stand it for too long." Sena Hime seemed to mock Marasuke's dullness.

"Yeah?"

Marasuke didn't take Sena Hime seriously and replied casually. "If it was at Ohari border, maybe it was one year, maybe two years, maybe it would never come back."

"Alei helps!"

"exist!"

"Why do you say these unlucky words?"

"Because my wife is not serious, I'm just kidding."

"Although it's not serious, I'm talking about the truth. I heard that the day of my first expedition is coming soon, and I won't hide it from you. You should understand what I think."

"But, madam, can't be simply happy about such a thing."

"Why?"

"Because his opponent is Oda Nobunaga, he has calmed the riots in his family and unified Ohara, and now he is in a strong momentum."

"You mean you can't win easily?"

"The lord has never commanded a soldier before, and his opponent has experienced many wars since his first battle when he was thirteen, and even the veterans are not as good as possible. Do you think we can easily win triumphantly?"

Hearing Marasuke's tone so stern, Sena Hime clearly showed an unhappy look.

"Isn't it your responsibility to help the adults fight for the first triumphant battle? If you were so discouraged from the beginning, how can you fight? OK. You can step down."

Masasuke left without hesitation. He was extremely worried and unhappy. The biological mother of the young master Masahira Motoyaku was very different from that of the young master Masahira Motoyaku. This is the difference between the women of the Jungha Mansion and the women of the Mikha Mansion. Mikha woman followed the rules and was stoic in character, while the women of the Jungha Mansion were superficial and vanity. Senahime always expressed her attachment to Masahira Motoyaku. She always thought that this stable and comfortable life in front of her could continue forever, which made Masahira very worried and made other personal guards feel deeply uneasy. But Masahira Motoyaku was dissatisfied with this. He obeyed Mrs. Suzuka, sometimes even sat cross-legged with his legs, pricked up his ears, and while listening to his wife's nagging silently, he thought about his thoughts in a daze.

As soon as Marasuke returned to the field, he picked up the scoop of the rice seeds, and saw Matsuhei Motokaku walking over with a relaxed look on his face. He came behind Marasuke and stopped. Marasuke deliberately kept silent. Mrs. Suruga would tell Matsuhei Motokaku immediately what she heard from Yoshimoto. What will the young lord react after hearing this?

"Malayasu." Matsuhira Motoyasu had no choice but to greet him.

"Oh, you're back." Marasuke raised his head. The afternoon sun casts the shadow of the pine tree onto the newly dug black soil. Matsuhei Motoyashi's face looks very weak under the reflection of the black soil and the pine shadow.

“Cuju is such a fun activity. Have you seen it?”
