Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Kira Mansomaru had a dream. Why did he know he was dreaming?  Because he saw his father Kira Yoshiyao again in his dream, a man who liked to grow a neat beard. He had a gentle temper, was proficient in Sinology, and had a family-owned skill in the art of bow and horse. He was the first teacher of Kira Manshomaru.  , teaching him how to be a warrior.  He dreamed of his mother again, her name was Zhongyuan Ai Ji, the princess of the Zhongyuan family, a beautiful woman. In his memory, her mother was more like a young girl, who liked playing with flowers and plants, and writing with letterheads.  She wrote interesting haiku and preferred to be in a daze with letters sent from Kyoto. She was a sentimental person and she still missed Kyoto before she died.  The memory fragments suddenly became extremely messy. Sometimes he would dream about the bustling modern cities, and sometimes he would dream about samurai galloping in the fields.  I don't know when suddenly there was a roar in my ears. ???????????????????? Boom!  Kira Manshomaru woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he felt his head was dizzy. The castle tower creaked and trembled, and he could faintly hear the sound of crying. Kira Manshomaru rubbed his eyes and was confused.  He wanted to stand up, "Huh? What's going on?" There was a sound of intensive walking in the distance, and the orange firelight shone on the castle tower. Aju, who had a pale face, opened the paper door in a panic.  Seeing that Kira Mansomaru still looked confused, he was relieved. He picked him up without explaining the reason and rushed out of the castle tower without looking back.  "What's going on? Why is everyone in chaos?" The noisy people were shouting and neighing, and they were in a mess. You could faintly see the fire in the castle town, the bitter cold was wailing in a mess, Kira Mansongmaru  Suddenly he woke up: "Is this an earthquake?" A group of disheveled samurai rushed into the Honmaru with swords in their hands. When they saw Aju holding Kira Mansongmaru, they immediately knelt down and said, "Master! I'm late!" "  Lord! The master is safe!" Immediately, several samurai rushed out of Honmaru, and they met Yamamoto Kansuke and quickly bowed to avoid it.  His safety is more important than anything else, and all retainers must know about the owner's safety, otherwise a chaos may break out at any time.  Yamamoto Kansuke hurried over and bowed curtly, then said with a serious face: "Master! The castle town is in chaos, and there are fires everywhere. To prevent trouble, please move to the Mish¨­ Ankoku Zen Temple for temporary refuge!" "It's really like that!  Is it serious? " "Be careful, there is no big mistake! The Xianganguo Zen Temple is the Bodhi Temple. Master Niishan Zongyan will not have any dissatisfaction with the master, and Zen Masters Imagawa and Taiyuan will not dare to do anything in the temple."  Matsumaru's face suddenly turned ugly, "You mean, be careful of the Imagawa family's people lurking in the castle town, waiting for opportunities to instigate chaos? You may even target the family's home castle, is that what you mean?" Yamamoto Kansuke stood there with a noncommittal hand.  "How could this happen! Damn it!" Faced with Kira Manshomaru's angry gaze, all the people who were nearby and the horse warriors lowered their heads. However, he also knew that there was no point in getting angry with his close ministers. Under Aju's worried eyes,  Next, he had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Then let's temporarily move to the Mianxiang Anguo Zen Temple!" "Yes!" The warriors quickly returned to the house to pack their bags. At this time, the changes in the earth gradually stopped, but the fire and noisy cries outside the city stopped.  It didn't stop, and sometimes there was a roar after the house collapsed, making the Kira family's samurai even more nervous. Under the escort of Yamamoto Kansuke, a group of more than fifty people quietly left through the Kashiki Gate and successfully entered not far outside the city.  Inside the Mingxiang Anguo Zen Temple.  Such a big earthquake also woke up the monks in the temple. When they heard the shouting outside, the monks were too reluctant to open the temple door. In the end, it was the Kira family samurai who threatened to knock on the door and forced the monks to open the door and welcome them in.  , Nishiyama Sonobu personally greeted him, and said with an apologetic look: "I don't know that Tan Yue came here at night, and I didn't come far to welcome you." "Master Sonobu, there is no need to be polite, there is chaos in Saijo Castle, and I am here to take refuge." Kira Wan  Seeing that the eminent monk looked tired, Matsumaru obviously didn't rest until very late in meditation, so he excused himself from physical and mental exhaustion with a few polite words. Nishiyama Sonobu also understandingly prepared a room for everyone in the Kira family.  Kansuke Yamamoto only showed up in the temple and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he told Kira Mansomaru that he would urgently summon 800 standing ashigaru to guard Saijo Castle. The short-term chaos caused by the earthquake could not be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao.  , these eight hundred standing ashigaru will play a decisive role when there is a lack of assistance from one school or another generation.  Of course, Kira Manshomaru will not stop his action. It is the autumn harvest season and everyone is busy supervising the grain harvest. It just so happens that there is a big earthquake here, so we can only?I can't blame others for my bad luck. Fortunately, in addition to the eight hundred standing ashigaru, the Kira family also has two hundred horseback samurai and dozens of side soldiers. The protection problem is not big.  The horseback samurai are temporarily holding on to Saijo Castle. These people have a high exposure. As long as they stand at the top of the city, they can suppress the panic of ordinary townspeople. Of course, it is a bit difficult for them to block the troublemakers. There are also twenty horseback warriors on duty.  The samurai followed Kira Manshomaru and retreated into the temple to defend themselves.  Aju was worried that he would not sleep well, so she put a bedding next to Kira Mansomaru to watch him sleep. In order not to worry Aju, she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep soon, but in fact, her heart was in turmoil.  , always impacting his spirit.  "It's just man-made disasters, but now there's natural disasters. If we declare a fight against the Imagawa family after the disaster, will people with intentions use it to make a fuss? It's such a troubled time!" Kira Manshomaru couldn't help but think of his promise to Aju, and sighed: "  Maybe he really should go to Kyoto and take a look. "In the past few years from his birth to now, he never thought that the war would be so close to him. He originally thought that Suruga was not very close to Mikawa Kingdom, even if it had to be with him.  When the Imagawa family fights in a joint battle, it also needs to go through mobilization within the territory, marching out to Mikawa, and the final decisive battle before the outcome can be decided. Before that, he can have a lot of time to make a decision whether to advance or retreat.  Facts told him that war in reality is cruel. The duel on the battlefield has long gone from the form of wearing gorgeous armor, riding horses, bending bows and shooting arrows and riding in circles to attack the enemy in the Genpei era. Today's military strategy  They have transcended simple one-on-one fights, and have given up condemning night attacks, undeclared wars and other cunning tactics. The Kira family must keep up with the changes of the times, otherwise they will be ruthlessly eliminated by the tide of the times.  "Although I am very unwilling to do so, the strength of our Kira family is still too weak. Do we really have to go to Kyoto?" The newly formed Monokenban only lasted for more than ten days. At most, it was only the stage of getting familiar with the new environment.  It's not like he has a full understanding of Kira Territory. Even if he calls Hattori Chief to scold him at this time, it won't help.  Even if Hattori Bouchou's intelligence is powerful and everyone in the Monomiji team is like a god, they can't manage the Kira Territory into a monolith in a short time. The Imagawa family can still infiltrate the Kira family, not to mention that in such natural and man-made disasters, there are always people who are unwilling to be alone.  People are stirring up trouble everywhere.  In the middle of the night, several strong aftershocks occurred one after another. The startled samurai always had to be confused for a while before they calmed down. Kira Mansomaru was tossed back and forth several times, and he fell asleep in a daze until the sky was getting brighter.
