Why does this dog, in Uesugi Kiyoshi's eyes, look exactly like the dog's head?
Could it be that the swordsman superman, the brave ghost with a nearly immortal body, is this funny and cute Shiba Inu in front of me?
Uesugi Kiyoshi stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.
What is this?
If one person succeeds, will the whole family benefit?
However, he gradually understood some things.
Why did he feel soft-hearted and want to protect Xingzi the first time he saw her, and even taught a group of bad guys a lesson for her?
"Well, it was destined to be like this."
"I told you, it's not me who is attracted by your beauty!"
Chapter 253 Role Playing and Choice
Slowly understanding the current situation, Uesugi Kiyoshi came back to his senses.
".Xing, I'm sorry, I just woke up and I'm a little confused."
"What did you go to do?"
When she heard Uesugi Kiyoshi's question, a look of panic flashed across Xing's face, and then she reluctantly changed the subject.
"You! You don't have to apologize to me! I'm your maid!"
"Ah, we just arrived in Musashi Province. Thank you for your hard work on the way. I was attacked by assassins and you still had to protect my safety. I am so sorry! I have caused you trouble!"
She was flustered, and her tone was soft and cute, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi's heart moved. Thinking of Nohara Anko in the present life, his eyes became even gentler.
Even their personalities are exactly the same.
"Come to think of it, why did Xing call me Master of the House?"
He asked casually.
Xing blinked her eyes, without questioning him, and said directly: "It is because of your father's order to separate the family. No one can exile a noble of the Minamoto clan, so the prince asked you to separate the family and come to Musashi Province to establish a new branch of the Minamoto clan. At the same time, you will serve as the governor and temporarily leave Kyoto. The appointment letter and documents are still in your luggage."
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten all these things, sir?"
A pair of big watery eyes are full of concern.
Uesugi Kiyoshi waved his hand and said, "No, I just felt a little confused from sleeping."
He used a very casual excuse, and Xing was very easy to fool. She didn't ask the question to the end, but just bowed slightly and prepared to go into the house.
At this moment, an old voice came from the side.
"A Xing! Didn't I tell you not to show up in public?"
"If you have any problem, just let our old man help you do it!"
"Oh, you don't know, your beauty will hurt you!"
"I just saw you exchange your jewelry for food?"
An old couple bent over and leaned out of the long house next door. Seeing that there was no one around, they came to the door of Uesugi Kiyoshi's house. The old woman said this to Xing with some blame.
Uesugi Qing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xing, feeling both amused and helpless.
Ah. So he used to be so miserable?
He lives in a downtown area and needs his maids to exchange jewelry for food to survive. He is just like an incompetent and down-and-out playboy.
But he thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
No matter what era he was in, Uesugi Kiyoshi would never be willing to be a useless person who just eats and waits for death. He still has this confidence.
There must be some reason.
Xing looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's face anxiously. She was a little panicked because she had acted on her own in this matter. Given the social conditions at the time, if she had been dealt with by a violent master, she might have been beaten severely. But she felt that Uesugi Kiyoshi had no signs of anger, so she was relieved and said to the old couple, "Murashita, it's okay. I'm just out for a while and will be back soon."
"And the adults will protect me!"
The old woman, known as the village grandmother, shook her head anxiously, glancing towards the entrance of the alley from time to time.
"You and this gentleman have just arrived here, you don't know the inside story!"
He was very polite to Uesugi Kiyoshi. Although this young man and girl had just moved here yesterday, the young man was dignified, dressed elegantly, and equipped with a sword. It was obvious at first glance that he was not from an ordinary family. He should be a nobleman in trouble. In any case, he must be much more noble than ordinary people like them.
Only a nobleman could have such a beautiful girl as his maid. They were neighbors of Uesugi Kiyoshi, but they knew very well that Xing considered herself a maid.
When Uesugi Kiyoshi saw that the old woman in front of him looked anxious and did not seem to be pretending, he felt warm in his heart. Such a kind person who cares about others deserves to be treated well.
He said kindly: "Mother-in-law, don't be anxious, talk slowly."
"Xing just went to exchange some things, is there any trouble?"
The old lady in the village sighed and her expression gradually turned sad.
"This castle is the largest castle in Musashi Province. The governor of Musashi Province is stationed in the castle, and the castle town is full of the eyes and ears of the governor."
"Merchants, samurai, and soldiers all obey the orders of that provincial governor."
"That governor and his son both love women very much. In the past few years, people have been offering beauties to them in an attempt to please them!"
"The soldiers of Musashi are all in that city. The governor holds the military power and is the ruler of Musashi. Who dares to go against his will?"
"Obedient women are only ravaged by those bastards, and those who are disobedient will be killed at will!"
"Alas, the common people in this town have suffered. My poor Ah Tao was kidnapped by those lackey samurai. It has been several years. I don't know whether she is alive or dead. Now I think it is likely that she is in great danger."
As she spoke, the old woman from the village had tears in her eyes and she wiped her eyes with the back of her rough hand.
Uesugi Kiyoshi sighed, feeling somewhat sympathetic.
It's a clichéd story of bullying men and women, but it mostly happens in reality.
Ancient Japan was a very chaotic country, and the lower class people lived a precarious life.
Especially a place like Musashi Province, in later generations, would naturally be the economic center, where Tokyo is located. But at the beginning, it was far away from Kyoto, so the "lord of the country" here, also called "kokushi", as the highest official of Musashi Province, was the real ruler.
High taxes and various forms of oppression are something that these ordinary people cannot resist at all.
That "A Tao" was most likely the daughter or granddaughter of the village grandmother. She was probably unlucky and was kidnapped. I'm afraid her end would not be good.
Before the old couple finished crying, the noisy footsteps sounded again.
Uesugi Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Shouts came from far away and gradually approached. A group of soldiers wearing ashigaru armor came rushing in, accompanied by a nobleman in luxurious clothes.
The aggressive foot soldiers surrounded the alleys so tightly that the common people didn't even dare to watch the excitement and they all closed their doors for fear of a disaster.
Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at the scene with a smile on his face, feeling neither amused nor helpless.
He lowered his head and pinched Xing's little face - he now completely treated Xing as Xingzi, and had no discomfort in doing some intimate actions.
"I never thought that Xing's charm was so great that she had an admirer so quickly."
"Hey, I've only seen this kind of situation in TV dramas, but I'm really looking forward to experiencing it myself."
Xing's face was already filled with panic, and she didn't hear clearly what Uesugi Kiyoshi said. It was Uesugi Kiyoshi's calm expression that gave her some courage and prevented her from losing her mind.
"My lord. I'm sorry! I. I seem to be in trouble again."
Uesugi Kiyoshi smiled slightly and shook his head.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal."
He looked up at the sky dyed red by the sunset and muttered to himself.
"I thought you were going to show me a movie that would tell me about the life of the Lord of the Hundred Demons."
"But I didn't expect that you gave me a role-playing game."
"Oh, I think I understand what you mean."
"Same situation, you want to see my choice."
"Especially, you want to see Uesugi Kiyoshi's choice without the memory of the Lord of the Hundred Demons."
"it is good!"
"I'll show you my choice!"
Chapter 254 Kill them all
Uesugi Kiyoshi could not contact the Hundred Demons Scroll and could not use the various powers of ghosts and gods in it, but there was one thing that did not disappear.
His physique, which has been strengthened by the Inugami Scroll, is unlike that of an ordinary person. He has the strength to break an army and is as fast as wind and thunder.
Therefore, he really didn't take the private army of a small ruler from hundreds of years ago seriously.
The wars in ancient Japan were not considered decent in the eyes of many Chinese people, who jokingly called them "fights between village heads" - and that was actually the case.
Such a small country is divided into sixty-six countries, and Musashi is just one of them. Even so, Musashi is divided into many "cities". Each city has many fields and manors, and castle towns. They are ruled by the lords of the cities. The lords obey the orders of the "king of the country", who are usually appointed by bigwigs in Kyoto.
Therefore, the battle between two cities is really just a fight between village heads. The decisive battle between daimyo in the Warring States Period may be larger in scale, but at best it is just a battlefield involving thousands of people.
I give you fifty people, go and capture XX city for me. This kind of frivolous order actually happened in Japanese history.
Musashi Province was not a small country, but the number of permanent troops stationed here was estimated by Uesugi Kiyoshi to be around 500 to 600, which was already the maximum, and definitely not up to four digits.
Because with ancient Japan's productivity, it could not support so many soldiers.
As for those civilians who were forcibly conscripted during the battle, they were not soldiers at all, but cannon fodder that would scatter at the first charge.
Even if the castle tower where Uesugi Kiyoshi is currently located is fully manned, it can only accommodate 300 people at most.
.
With the physical fitness of ancient people, a monster like Uesugi Kiyoshi could kill him three or four times with a sword in hand without getting tired.
While he was thinking, the young man in gorgeous clothes had already walked towards him in a hurry. He had a pale face from overindulgence, dark circles under his eyes, and a strong smell of alcohol in his breath. The word "dandy boy" was really written on his face.
This kind of person was actually quite rare in the Heian period. Influenced by Buddhism, the Japanese aristocracy of the Heian period regarded sexual desire and food desire as something shameful to talk about - you can play however you like in private, but it is shameful to show it in public.
But maybe because the place is far away and no one is in charge, this young man who looks like the "prince of the king" did not hide anything. When he saw Xing hiding behind Uesugi Kiyoshi, his eyes lit up.
This is understandable. After all, she is a Genji woman from Kyoto. Even if she is a maid, she is much more beautiful than most women in the countryside. Not to mention anything else, her skin is as delicate as mutton fat, which is not something that women from such small places can have.
