Pillars of the Wu family

A few days later, Aju was summoned back by Kira Wansongmaru. Seeing her tired face, Kira Wansongmaru asked him to go to rest first. After two days, he learned from Sheng Ji that he was staying at Atago's house for a month and did not Not very happy, the excitement of going home was completely shattered by the indifferent family members, if Kira Wansongmaru hadn't sent someone to recruit, she would have packed her luggage and moved back.

The life of Atago's family is very bad, it can be said that it is not much better than not being able to uncover the pot. There is no food and drink for a family of more than [-] people. Except for the governor who often goes out to find some samurai to fight the autumn breeze, the other males can only find a way Earn some extra money in Kyoto, such as teaching people Cuju, painting, or explaining the Tale of Genji to some arty rich businessmen, and they can barely make a living.

Aju came home with another mouth. This day must be even more difficult. Besides, she has been away from home for ten years and her relatives are very estranged. After she left, her parents gave birth to several younger brothers and sisters. The life at home is very tight. He is very nervous, so he is not very welcome. 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 [-] pennies she had accumulated over the past few years as a subsidy for the family. For the sake of the money, she reluctantly let him live. After the excitement of returning home passed away, , Ju Ji felt uncomfortable with the smirking expressions at home and the unfamiliar interpersonal relationships, especially when his father took away twenty clothes and said that he hadn't changed new clothes in more than ten years, and he wanted to buy a decent new set of hunting clothes anyway.

His elder brother asked for ten pennies to repay the debt, and the children in the family greedily stole ten pennies to buy pastries. It was used up in a month, but fortunately Kira Wansongmaru sent someone to pick her up at this time, and finally left Atago's house with some relative face and kindness.

"This kind of prodigal speed is really amazing. Fifty guns are enough to last half a year for more than 100 members of Hattori's family, and even a month for more than 20 members of Atago's family. If you don't die, you won't die!" Kira Wan Songwan shook his head, he was no longer interested in studying Gongqing's corruption, and when he returned to the residence, he saw Aju sitting in a small garden in the backyard in a daze.

The sound of the stream rushing, and the crisp sound of the deer's bamboo tube hitting the stone bowl after being filled with stream water made the courtyard look extraordinarily quiet and peaceful, as if you were in a paradise, completely isolated from the noise. Kira Wansongmaru said with emotion: "This is Zen!"

Kira Wansongmaru hesitated for a moment, then walked up to her and sat down, "Aju, are you okay?"

"Your Highness!" Aju smiled gently, shook her head lightly and said, "Aju is fine, Your Highness, don't worry."

"I still say I'm fine, and I'm not happy at all, can I call it fine?" Kira Wansongmaru sighed secretly, and then persuaded: "The path is chosen by oneself, and you have to take responsibility yourself, so please don't force yourself too much."

"Thank you Your Highness for enlightening Aju! Aju understands what Your Highness means!" Aju bowed lightly, then smiled gently, took out a thousand paper cranes from her sleeve and held them in her palm, and said happily: "Aju will be like This paper crane spreads its wings to embrace nature, so it must be for this reason that His Highness came to Sakamoto?"

"Huh? What is this unfolding rhythm?" Kira Wansongmaru shrugged with a wry smile.

"So, A-ju will work hard! Your Highness, please work hard too!" A-ju carefully put away the thousand paper cranes, bowed lightly, and ran away with small steps.

"Embrace nature! When did she endow the thousand paper cranes with such a meaning? Okay, let me hug too?" Kira Wansongmaru stretched out his hands and lay sprawled on the porch like this, "Sure enough, embrace nature It's more comfortable!"

……

On October [-]th, at the construction site of Sakamoto New City, when a group of civilians were busy with the construction, Saijoo and Chibei were wearing armor and each held three long sticks for training. Although Chibei's bright red armor was very It is beautiful, and all of them are of samurai origin and very powerful, but it is a pity that it was less than two months after the initial construction, and there is no tacit understanding at all. Every time they confront each other with Saijo Bei, the formation will be damaged and gradually turn into a rout.

"Eighth match, Saijo wins!" Hidetaka Nakajo, who is the chief referee, wrote and drew a horizontal line on a charcoal board, counting carefully, there are eight horizontal lines, that is, eight consecutive victories, needless to say the other side A big duck egg.

"Damn it, why do you always lose! Miyake Kanemon! This time it's your fault! Why can't you stand up every time it's you?" A samurai angrily took off his helmet and accused another samurai .

"Asshole! Is this my fault? It was Dongsanhe who lost first, why don't you go and tell them!"

"Hush! Bastard! Do you want to die? You are not allowed to mention things now. We are all comrades-in-arms. If you mention the geographical issue, you will be sent back to Sanhe." Hearing the warning from their companions, several warriors immediately languished, He muttered and said something without knowing what to curse, and went to the shade of the tree to take the time to rest.

Kira Wansongmaru asked, "How many times a day should we do this kind of pair training?"

"There are [-] times a day. It is a request from the owner of the gym to improve the actual combat level through sparring. Therefore, in order to speed up Chibei's overall combat power, we deliberately increase the number of sparring sessions. Sometimes we have to practice after dinner." Hidetaka Nakajo replied. road.

"Pay attention to the three meals a day. If you do not have enough meals for high-intensity training, you will collapse. Rice is too expensive and difficult to digest. The staple food is mainly pasta and brown rice. The supplementary food is miso and fresh fish. .”

"Yes!"

After resting for about 10 minutes, the two sides stood up again and continued to practice. From the practice, we can see the level of the two backup teams. It is obvious that the cooperation of Saijo and Bei is more skilled. In the situation of siege, although Chi Bei was born as a samurai and his personal combat power is stronger, but he lacks cooperation and is always defeated again and again.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chibei to lose again. This time, some people still cursed angrily. Of course, more people looked disappointed. Saijo Bei didn't respond at all, as if he was used to this kind of immortal treatment. At this point, Kira Wansongmaru shook his head: "It's not enough to just practice like this. Call the ashigaru general from Chibei."

After a while, the four ashigaru generals stood in a row with serious expressions. Looking at the expressions on their faces, Kira Manmatsumaru knocked on the table and asked, "Do you know why I called you over?"

The four answered in unison: "Because of failure."

"That's right! It's because of failure!" Kira Wansongwan pointed at the four people angrily and scolded: "You can still realize that it's because of failure, at least it's not hopeless, look at what you have done? I've only been away for a month and I've become like this, don't you feel shameful when you get beaten by Saijo Bei every day without any power to fight back?"

"shame!"

"Then why do you have to accept the shame again and again? Why did you fail? How to avoid failure? Find the reason in yourself, don't focus on the difference between 300 and [-], the [-] can't save you, the enemy on the battlefield will not fight You talk about fairness and justice, why did I let Saijo prepare [-] elites to fight Chibei [-] samurai? Give you a month to think about it!"

"Yes!" The four ashigaru generals were reprimanded with embarrassment. If it hadn't been for the Kira family's strict ban on seppuku, some of them might have performed a live performance of the restricted stage.

"Also, don't waste every rest time. I see you are all sitting there with nothing to do. Is it just that idle? Why don't you communicate with the samurai under your command? Why did you fail? Summarize the reasons for each failure and set a corrective plan. Do you understand the plan to try again and again until you can win without failing?"

"Yes!"

"Okay! Go back and do what you should do!" Kira Manmatsumaru waved their four ashigaru generals away, and then said to Shiro Isshiki beside him: "Shiro, I intend to let you go to Chibeizhong to exercise, Do you think so?"

"That's great! Oh no! It's thanks to the owner of the museum for your kindness! I've wanted to go to Chibeili for a long time to practice, but what about the skill of bow and horse?" Shiro Isshiki hesitated in the middle of speaking.

"Turn your muscles and bones first. Haven't you always been dissatisfied with your good spear skills? Go to Chibei to temper! Watanabe Takatsuna's spear skills are very powerful. Archery and Naito Masashige can teach you, and riding skills Take the time to practice! Compared to that idiot Zenjiro, you are more suitable to be the general who charges forward."

"Yes! I, Shiro, thanked the owner!" Isshiki Shiro stood up happily, and under the approving gaze of Kira Manmatsumaru, he excitedly caught up with the four ashigaru generals.

Hidetaka Nakajo said with a wry smile: "His Highness Kira is becoming more and more powerful, and the four ashigaru generals dare not look up at you from the beginning to the end."

"Oh? Really? Am I really that fierce?" Kira Wansongmaru rubbed his cheeks and said distressedly: "If it's too fierce, will no noble woman be willing to marry me?"

"..." Hidetaka Nakajo turned his head with black lines all over his face, pretending that he didn't hear the words behind him.
