A few days later, Aku was recruited back by Kira Manshomaru. Seeing her tired face, Kira Manshomaru asked him to rest first. It took two days before he learned from Katsuhime that he had been staying at Atago's house for the past month. It wasn't very pleasant. Her original excitement of returning home was completely shattered by her indifferent family. If Kira Manshomaru hadn't sent someone to recruit her, she would have packed her bags and moved back. The life of the Atago family is very bad. It can be said that it is not much better than being unable to open the pot. The family of more than 20 people has no food and drink. Except for the house supervisor who often goes out to find some martial arts to fight the autumn wind, which is still okay, the other men can only find ways to survive. Earn some extra money in Kyoto, such as teaching Cuju, painting, or telling the Tale of Genji to some arty wealthy businessmen, and you can barely make a living. Aju has another mouth to talk to when she returns home. This life must be more difficult. Moreover, she has been away from home for ten years and is very estranged from her relatives. Her parents gave birth to several younger brothers and sisters after she left. Life at home is very tight. Aju's elder brother is already married, and his younger brother Gang Yuanfu has not yet found a suitable marriage partner because their family is too poor. In order not to embarrass her family, Aju took out the fifty pounds she had accumulated over the past few years to subsidize the family. For the sake of money, she reluctantly allowed him to stay. As the excitement of returning home passed, Juji felt uncomfortable with the fake smiles and unfamiliar interpersonal relationships at home, especially when her father took away twenty pieces of clothing and said that he had not changed into new clothes for more than ten years and that he had to buy a decent new hunting suit anyway. His eldest brother asked for ten guan of money to pay off the debt. The greedy child at home stole the 10 guan of money and bought cakes to eat. Although he was severely beaten and couldn't go out for half a month, the fifty guan money was only used for It was all used up in one month. Fortunately, Kira Manshomaru sent someone to pick her up, so she finally left the Atago house in peace and dignity, retaining some dignity as a relative. "This kind of speed in losing money is really weird. Fifty kusen is enough to last half a year for the Hattori family of more than 100 people, but the Atago family of more than 20 people can't even survive for a month. It's true that if you don't commit suicide, you won't die! Kira Mansomaru shook his head. He was no longer interested in studying the corruption of the minister. When he returned to his residence, he saw Aju sitting in the small garden in the backyard in a daze. The sound of the stream rushing and flowing, and the crisp sound of the frightened deer's bamboo tube hitting the stone bowl after being filled with stream water, made the courtyard feel particularly quiet and peaceful, as if you were in a paradise, completely isolated from the noise. Kira Manshomaru said with emotion: "This is Zen!" Kira Mansomaru hesitated for a moment, then walked to her and sat down, "Aju, are you okay?" "Your Highness!" Aju smiled gently, shook his head slightly and said, "Aju "Kiku is fine, Your Highness, don't worry." "You said you're fine. How can you say you're fine if you're not happy at all?" Kira Mansomaru sighed secretly, and then persuaded: "You have to choose your own path, so please take responsibility for it." Don't force yourself too much. " "Thank you, Your Highness, for enlightening A Ju! Your Highness, A Ju understands!" A Ju bowed gently, then took out a paper crane from his sleeve and held it in his hand, and said happily. : "Akiku will grow wings like this paper crane and embrace nature. Your Highness must have come to Sakamoto for this reason, right?" "Huh? What kind of expansion rhythm is this?" Kira Mansomaru smiled bitterly and shrugged. . "So, A'Ju will work hard! Your Highness, please work hard too!" A'Ju carefully put away the paper crane, bowed lightly and ran away with small steps. "Embrace nature! When did Qian Zhizhen have this meaning given to her again? Okay, let me give you a hug too?" Kira Mansomaru stretched out his hands, stepped back and lay on the porch, "It's still a hug after all." Of course it¡¯s more comfortable!¡± ¡ On October 19, at the Sakamoto New Town construction site, while a group of civilians were busy with construction, Saijo Bei and Akabi were wearing armor, each holding three sticks of more than three lengths, training against each other. Although Chibei is very beautiful in bright red armor, and they are both warriors and very powerful, but it is a pity that there is no tacit understanding at all in less than two months after the establishment. Every time he and Saijobei are in a stalemate for a while, the formation will gradually become damaged. Success and defeat. "Eighth match, Saijo Bei wins!" Hidetaka Nakajo, who served as the referee, wrote and drew another horizontal bar on the charcoal board. After careful counting, there were eight horizontal bars, which is eight consecutive victories. Needless to say, the opponent is currently A big duck egg. "Damn it, why do you always lose! Miyake Kan'emon! It's your fault this time! Why is it you every time? Can't you stand up?" One samurai took off his helmet angrily and accused another samurai. . "Asshole! Is this my fault? It was Dong Sanhe who started to lose first. Why didn't you go to them and tell them!" "Hush! Asshole! Do you want to die? Now everyone is not allowed to carry things. Colleagues and comrades, if you raise regional issues again, you will be punished.Back to Sanhe. "Hearing the warning from their companions, several warriors immediately shrank down, muttering some curse words, and walked to the shade of a tree to seize the time to rest. Kira Manshomaru asked: "How many times a day do you have to do this kind of sparring? " "There are twenty times a day. It is the request of the gym owner to improve the actual combat level through sparring. Therefore, in order to speed up Chibei's overall combat power, the number of sparring sessions is deliberately increased, and sometimes additional training is required after dinner. "Hidetaka Nakajo replied. "Pay attention to keeping up with the three meals a day. High-intensity training will collapse if there is not enough food to supplement it. Rice is too expensive and not easy to digest. The staple food is mostly pasta and brown rice. Don¡¯t miss out on miso and fresh fish as a complementary food. " "yes! " After resting for about twenty minutes, the two sides stood up and continued sparring. From the sparring, we can see the level of the two reserve teams. It is obvious that Saijo Bei's cooperation is more skilled, and it is easy to form a formation with the advantage of numbers in the spear formation. In a semi-surrounded situation, although Chibei was a samurai and had stronger personal combat power, his lack of cooperation was always defeated again and again. As expected, Chibei was defeated again after a short period of time. This time, there were still people yelling angrily. Of course. More people looked disappointed. Saijo Bi was completely unresponsive, as if he was used to this kind of immortal treatment. Seeing this, Kira Manshomaru shook his head: "Just practicing like this won't do it. Chibi's Ashigaru General Called. " After a while, the four Ashigaru generals stood in a row with serious expressions. Looking at the expressions on their faces, Kira Manshomaru knocked on the table and asked: "Do you know why I called you here? "The four people answered in unison: "Because of failure. " "Said it right! Just because of failure! Kira Mansomaru pointed at the four people angrily and scolded: "You can still realize that it is because of failure. At least it is not hopeless. Look at what you have done?" I've only been gone for a month and I'm like this. Don't you feel ashamed that I'm beaten by Saijo every day and I can't fight back? " "Shame! " "Then why do you have to accept the shame again and again? Why failed? How to avoid failure? You have to find the reason within yourself. Don¡¯t focus on the difference between 800 and 500. Those 300 people can¡¯t save you. The enemy will not talk to you about fairness and justice on the battlefield. Why did I let Saijou prepare with 800 elites against Chibei? Five hundred samurai? I¡¯ll give you a month to think it through! " "yes! "The four Ashigaru generals were reprimanded with shame on their faces. If the Kira family hadn't strictly prohibited seppuku, someone might have performed the restricted section live. "Also, don't waste every break. I see you are all sitting there. You have nothing to do when you are free, is that all that free? Why didn't he communicate with the samurai under him? Why did he lose? Summarize the reasons for each failure, make correction plans and try again and again until you no longer fail and can win. Do you understand? " "yes! " "alright! Go back and do what you should do! Kira Manshomaru waved his hand and sent away the four ashigaru generals. He turned to Isshiki Shiro next to him and said, "Shiro, I intend to let you go to Akibichu for some training. What do you think?" " "Very good! Oh no! Thank you for your grace, Master! I have long wanted to go to Chibeili to practice, but what about the art of horse arching? "Isshiki Shiro hesitated in the middle of the sentence. "Tone your muscles first. Aren't you always dissatisfied with the spear skills you are good at? Go to Chibeli and exercise! Watanabe Takazuna's spear skills are very powerful, and Naito Masashige can teach you archery skills. Just take the time to practice riding skills! Compared to that idiot Zenjiro, you are more suitable to be the leading general of our family. " "yes! I, Shiro, thanked the owner! "Isshiki Shiro stood up happily, and under the approving gaze of Kira Mansomaru, he excitedly caught up with the four ashigaru generals. Nakajo Hidetaka said with a wry smile: "His Majesty Kira's power is gradually increasing, and the four ashigaru generals have been there from beginning to end. I don't dare to look up at you. " "oh? Yeah? Am I really that cruel? Kira Mansomaru rubbed his cheeks and said distressedly: "If I'm too fierce, will no noble women be willing to marry me?" " "" Nakajo Hidetaka turned his head with black lines on his head, pretending not to hear what was said.
