Pillars of the Wu family

Chapter 19 Sudden Earthquake

() Kira Wansongmaru had a dream, why did he know he was dreaming?Because he saw his father Yoshiyao Kira in his dream again, this man who likes to grow a neat beard, he has a gentle temper, is proficient in Sinology, and has a family-passed way of bowing horses. He is the first of Kira Wansongmaru Teacher, teach him how to be a samurai.

He dreamed of his mother again, her name was Zhongyuan Aiji, the princess of the Zhongyuan family, a beautiful woman, in his memory, his mother was more like a young girl, who liked to play with flowers and plants, and liked to write with letter paper. She writes interesting haiku, and prefers to stare blankly at letters from Kyoto. She is a sentimental person, and she still misses Kyoto before she dies.

The memory fragments suddenly became very messy. Sometimes he would dream of the modern urban agglomeration with lights and feasting, and sometimes he would dream of samurai galloping in the fields. I don't know when suddenly there was a roar in my ears.

Rumble!

Kira Wansongmaru woke up in a daze, opened his eyes and felt dizzy, the castle tower made a creaking and trembling sound, and could vaguely hear crying and shouting, Kira Wansongmaru rubbed his eyes and went inside The want to stand up, "Huh? What's going on here?"

There was a sound of intensive walking in the distance, and the orange flames were reflected on the castle tower. The pale-faced Aju hurriedly opened the paper door, and was relieved to see that Kira Wansongmaru was still confused. Without explaining the reason, he picked him up and rushed out of the castle tower without looking back.

"What's going on here? Why is everyone in a mess?" Noisy people shouted and screamed into a mess, and you could faintly see the flames in the castle town, the bitter cold wailing, and the chaos, Kira Wansongmaru Suddenly woke up: "Is this an earthquake?"

A group of disheveled samurai rushed into Honmaru with their swords in hand. When they saw Aju holding Kira Wansongmaru, they immediately knelt down, "Master of the hall! The minister is late!"

"The Master! You are safe and sound! The Master is safe and sound!" Immediately, several samurai rushed out of Honmaru, just in time to meet Kansuke Yamamoto and quickly bowed to avoid him. The safety of the central lord is above all else, and all retainers must be made aware of the safety of the hall master, otherwise a great chaos may break out at any time.

Kansuke Yamamoto hurriedly came over and gave a curt salute, then said with a stern expression: "My lord! The castle town is in chaos, and there are fires everywhere. In order to prevent any accidents, please move to the Anguo Zen Temple in Ningxiang for temporary shelter!"

"Is it really that serious?"

"Be careful, there is no big mistake! The Anguo Zen Temple is the Bodhi Temple of the family. Master Xishan Zongyan will not have any dissatisfaction with the owner of the temple, and Imagawa Jibu and Taiyuan Zen Master will not dare to do anything in the temple."

Kira Manmatsumaru's face suddenly became ugly, "You mean, be careful of the people of the Imagawa family lurking in the castle town waiting for an opportunity to instigate riots? Even target the family's home castle, is that what you mean?" Kansuke Yamamoto stood there noncommittal .

"How could this happen! Damn it!" Facing Kira Wansongmaru's angry direct gaze, all the people close to him and the Mahui warriors lowered their heads, but he also knew that it was pointless to get angry at his close ministers. I had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Then temporarily move to the Xianguo Anguo Zen Temple!"

"Yes!" The samurai quickly returned to the house to pack their bags. At this time, the movement of the earth gradually stopped, but the fire and loud cries outside the city did not stop. The samurai became even more nervous. Under the escort of Kansuke Yamamoto, a group of more than 50 people quietly left through the gate of the hand, and smoothly entered the Anguo Zen Temple not far from the city.

Such a big earthquake also woke up the monks in the temple. Hearing the shouts outside, the monks were too unwilling to open the temple gate. In the end, it was the samurai of the Kira family who threatened to knock on the door and forced the monks to open the door to welcome them in. , Xishan Zongyan greeted him personally, and said apologetically: "I don't know that Tanyue Kuiye came, and I am far away from welcoming you."

"Master Zongyan, you don't need to be polite. There is chaos in Xijo City, and our family is here to take refuge." Kira Wansongmaru saw that the eminent monk looked tired, and obviously sat in meditation until late to rest, so he excused his physical and mental exhaustion with a few polite words, and Xishan Zongyan He also sympathetically prepared a house for everyone in the Kira family.

Yamamoto Kansuke just showed his face in the temple and left in a hurry. Before he left, he told Kira Manmatsumaru that he would urgently summon [-] standing ashigaru to guard Saijo Castle. However, in the absence of assistance from one sect and genealogy generation, these eight hundred standing ashigaru will play a decisive role.

Of course, Kira Wansongmaru will not hinder his actions. Who knows that it is the autumn harvest season and everyone is busy supervising the grain harvest. It just so happened that there was a big earthquake at this time. It is not a big problem to keep ashigaru on hand, and there are two hundred horseback samurai and dozens of nearby people to protect.

The Mahui warriors will stick to Saijo Castle for the time being. These people have a high rate of exposure. As long as they stand on the top of the city, they can suppress the panic-stricken ordinary townspeople. Of course, it is a bit difficult to block the troublemakers with them. The samurai followed Kira Wansongmaru and withdrew into the temple and stood firm.

Aju was worried that he would not sleep well, so she took the bedding and put it next to Jiliang Wansong Wan to watch him sleep. In order not to make Aju worry, she closed her eyes and pretended to fall asleep soon, but in fact, her heart was in a turmoil , Shocking his spirit all the time.

"That's all. Now there is another natural disaster. If after the disaster it is announced to fight against the Imagawa family, will it be used as a fuss by someone with a heart? It is really a troubled time!" Kira Wansongmaru couldn't help thinking of the promise to Aju, and sighed: "Perhaps we should really go to Kyoto to have a look."

In the past few years from his birth to the present, he never thought that the war would be so close to him. He thought that Suruga was not very close to the Mikawa Kingdom. Mobilization, battle in Sanhe, final battle, and then the outcome can be decided. Before that, he can have a lot of time to make a decision whether to advance or retreat.

Facts tell him that war in reality is cruel. The duel on the battlefield has long since departed from the Genpei era of wearing gorgeous armor, riding a war horse, bending bow and shooting arrows to fight with the enemy in circles. The strategy has gone beyond simple one-on-one fighting, and has given up the condemnation of deceitful tricks such as night raids and undeclared wars. 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, the strength of my Kira family is still too weak. Is it really necessary to go to Kyoto?" It's not like he has a full understanding of Kira collar, even if he called Hattori Baochang to scold him at this time, it would not help.

Even if Hattori Hosaga's intelligence is strong, and the Monomi Group is like a god, they can't run Kira Ling as a monolith in a short period of time. The Imagawa family can still infiltrate the Kira family, not to mention that there are always people who are unwilling Lonely people fan the flames everywhere.

Several strong aftershocks occurred one after another in the middle of the night, and the startled warriors always had to be in a mess for a while before calming down. Kira Wansongmaru was tossed back and forth several times, and did not fall asleep until the sky gradually dawned.
