The remaining snow is still not gone, and the foothills are covered with dusk mist;

The mountain villages and rivers are far away, and the plum blossoms are fragrant;

The river breeze blows on the willows, and the spring scenery is in front of you;

The sound of oars can be heard from afar, and the spring tide is white;

The night sky is covered with clouds and mist, leaving a moon;

Morning frost is everywhere in the fields, and the autumn colors are already deep;

Although the insects are willing to roar, the autumn grass has withered;

Come to the fence and show a way;

...

The cool evening breeze mixed with the smell of spring comes from the distant mountains.

It has been three days since Masayoshi ended his inspection of Gongfang Town. During these three days, Masayoshi has almost stayed in the Tianshou Pavilion, approving documents piled up on the desk day and night. Continuous battles outside, some matters in the territory that require Masayoshi's approval will naturally accumulate together. During this period, Masayoshi naturally needs to step up the handling.

On the evening of that day, after a busy day, Masara came to the balcony of Tianshou Pavilion and looked out at the scenery outside the city by the railing. At this time, two male duets of songs were heard from the shore of Matsuura River outside the city. Since the Hibimaki Kingdom is already the most prosperous area in the Luo Family territory, the castle town of Kishigaoyama Castle, which is the core of the territorial territory of the Hibimaki Kingdom and the Luo Family territory, is naturally a place where various cultural people in the Luo Family territory yearn for gathering. Therefore, on ordinary days, many literati gather on the shore of Matsuura River next to the town to communicate.

These lyrics are also very interesting to say. It is a game of chanting a waka on two people, starting in the Hospit period of Heian. At first, lyrics were popular in the palace as the aftermath of the waka, and later became widely popular among the citizens. It became a popular entertainment project. There were also lyrics of 5 rhymes and 100 rhymes, which were the so-called "Hundred Rhymes and Continuous Songs".

The advent of Lian Ge is based on the fact that some nobles cannot bear the constraints of the outdated traditional culture and try to find a way out with folk interests. The first feature of Lian Ge is collective creation, that is, each sentence must be connected with the previous sentence of others. The turning point is purely accidental, so the author needs to have a wit to adapt to changes, and at the same time, it also allows Lian Ge to get rid of the stagnant tendency to focus on emotions. The second feature of Lian Ge is improvisational creation. The so-called "song Tao" generally has its own secrets. Lian Ge has no certain format since ancient times, but it is best to arouse the current interest. It can be seen that Lian Ge's second feature also requires the wit to adapt to changes. Therefore, in Zhengliang's view, this kind of Lian Ge is a bit like the duet of the mountain songs in Guilin that he had seen later in life.

"I'm afraid there is not even Kyoto at this time, right?"

While listening to Lian Ge and looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains in the distance, Zhengliang couldn't help but think. He even thought of a plan, that is, if he recruited Lian Ge masters from Beijing and other places to learn Lian Ge from them, he actually wanted to know the world without leaving home. He asked those Lian Ge masters about the character of various countries. This method seemed much lower than sending the Luo family's detectives to go out to inquire about intelligence everywhere.

Then he thought of the good news from Fenghou Kingdom. It turned out that the Takashi Castle, which was directly in the county of Fenghou Kingdom, was finally defeated. What made this city that had been held for two months fall was not the military force of the Luo family, but the soldiers of the Kitashiga family in the Takashi Castle.

It turned out that after seeing Shiga's relatives in Takashi Castle were desperate and unwilling to surrender, Honda Masato asked his father to lead a thousand peasant soldiers to continue harassing Takashi Castle, and on the other hand he sent people to the nearby territory of the Shiga's nearby territory for information. He accidentally discovered that because all the laborers in the family were trapped in Takashi Castle, many villages in the Shiga's nearby nearby could not carry out spring farming normally. So Honda Masato immediately sent people to infiltrate these villages and incited these leaders to go outside Takashi Castle to persuade his relatives in the city to surrender.

After more than half a month of family support, some of the soldiers in the city were shaken. People's hearts are also fleshy. Shiga Kendu has long brought his family and relatives into the Takashi City, and there is also enough food to support everyone in the city to eat for one year. Shiga Kendu naturally rests at ease. However, as ordinary soldiers guarding the city, their mothers, wives and children are all outside the city. They lack the main labor force. How can these relatives outside the city plow in spring this year? If the spring plowing is not good, how can they live this winter? Do they have to wait for death?

This was obviously impossible, so on a dark night, some soldiers guarding the city launched a rebellion. After seeing the relatives of the soldiers guarding the city outside the city, they personally sent their confidants and relatives to Shiga, who was responsible for guarding the city gate, never expected that the target of the rebels' attack was not the city gate, but was staying in the castle. He was caught off guard, and he was cut off his head by the rebels who swarmed in. Then under the influence of Shiga's head, more people joined the ranks of rebels, and finally overwhelmed the confrontation of the rebels.

The soldiers of the plot took the opportunity to open the city gate and put the Luo family army, who had discovered the abnormal movement in the city, into Gaocheng, who was urgently gathered outside the city. Finally, Gaocheng, which had been defending for two months, announced its fall. Since then, they have entered the county and announced that they have been completely incorporated into the territory of the Luo family.

In order to appease the local people, Masara only killed the male members of the Shiga Bishi and let Shiga Bishi and let Shiga Bishi and other female relatives go. Anyway, with Shiga Bishi's death, Shiga Bishi, who had no male heir, declared annihilation of the clan. And Honda Toshimasa, who made contributions, Honda Masato and Masato Shiga Bishi were assisting the Luo Family Interior Pavilion to appease the local people.

With the fall of Takashi, the Otomo family was completely left with only Guodong County and complete territory. The other Sumi County and Haibu County had half of the territory fell into the hands of the Luo family. Suddenly thinking about this incident made Masayoro sigh. It was because the Otomo family was already declining, but the Luo family was thriving.

Standing on the terrace and pondered for a while, Zhengliang finally turned around and prepared to return to the convention hall on the first floor of Tianshou Pavilion. However, at the moment he turned around, he saw a horse-riding warrior running in from the Dashou Gate in the afterglow of the sunset, and then came towards the convention hall on the first floor of Tianshou Pavilion. The man seemed anxious. Who is it? What else is there? Zhengliang muttered in his heart, and turned to the convention hall on the first floor of Tianshou Pavilion.

"Meet the lord." When the person came to the front, Masayoshi, who was sitting on the head of the meeting hall, found that it was Shimazu Yoshihiro who was riding a horse just now.

As a hostage to the Shimazu family and the Luo family, Shimazu Yoshihiro entered the Luo family five years ago. Before he knew it, he had gone from an eight-year-old child to a thirteen-year-old boy.

In fact, seeing Naoshima, Masashinobu Honda, Yoshiro Kawada and others who had been with him for several years were all valued by the Lord Masaru and were stationed in the army below. Shimazu Yoshihiro, who thought his own abilities were not inferior to them at all, was naturally anxious, so he would take the initiative to take over his own work whenever he had an errand. This time he took over Masaru's task and went out.

"Lord, the Kitahara family of Osumi Country, the Rikika family of the Rikika family and the Qidayuan family of the Satsuma Country jointly sent an envoy, and Kitahara is at the same time..."

"Shiro, don't panic and wipe the sweat off your forehead first." Masayora said with a smile, "Kehara Kazumaki comes, there must be a secret matter. Can you guess what it is?"

Shimazu Yoshihiro knelt on the ground and wiped his sweat. After hearing this, he raised his head and shook his head, "That guy has no expression on his face..."

"Hahaha... As long as you open your eyes and look at it with your heart, everything in the world has expressions. Look at the rice outside the city..." Zhengliang said with a smile, "It is saying that the people are cultivating it with their hearts, and it is very happy. Only by hearing the sounds of everything can you be considered as a grown-up."

Regarding the four tigers of the Shimazu family, Masara likes the most is the "Ghost Ishi Manko" who is the second tiger. "Ghost Shimazu" Yoshihiro Shimazu. Since following Masara, he has shown a strong personality, can calmly analyze things when encountering things, and is not confused. In his spare time, Masara would teach him some subtle things. Shimazu Yoshihiro would listen carefully to Masara's teachings every time.

"Okay, since you are back, then the other party is almost here, right? Go down and notify Lord Togo and Lord Yamamoto to come to the meeting hall." Masarara said at last.

After the latter was ordered, he immediately bowed and left. Looking at the obedient figure of Shimazu Yoshihiro gradually faded away, Masara suddenly spoke:

"Have he changed?"

"I told the lord that there was no abnormal movement. After leaving the city, he went to greet Osumi's envoy as his lord told me. He was cautious and slow along the way, without any abnormal movement."

A black eagle came out of the shadow of the meeting hall and knelt down and saluted at Masayoro and said.

"Well, keep watching him."

"Yes!" The Black Hawk bowed and took a break and immediately chased Shimazu Yoshihiro's departure.

"Hey! It's not that I don't want to reuse you! But you are still from the Shimazu family!" Masara said to himself after Black Hawk left.

In any case, Shimazu Yoshihiro was still a member of the Shimazu family. After all, he was still a hostage to the two alliances. Masara naturally could not keep him away from his own surveillance. In addition, Masarara did not want to send him to the army, so that he could learn more about the secrets of the Luo family.

In fact, after following the Luo family for so long, Shimazu Yoshihiro has already known a lot of secrets of the Luo family. Masara is also considering how to deal with Shimazu Yoshihiro. But what is certain is that unless the Shimazu family defected to the Luo family, in order to keep it secret, Shimazu Yoshihiro basically has no chance to return to Shimazu family. As for how to deal with Shimazu Yoshihiro in the end, even now, Masara has not yet come up with a good solution.

This time, Masara specially sent Shimazu Yoshihiro to welcome the envoys from Osumi Country, so he naturally took the opportunity to observe Shimazu Yoshihiro's performance. After all, the Kitahara family, the Ryukari family and the Qidayuan family of Satsuma Country, who sent the envoys, were in a confrontation with the Shimazu family.

"At least, from the moment, no extraordinary thing has been done yet." After thinking of Shimazu Yoshihiro's performance this time, Masara finally said to himself. Then he looked silently at the sky facing the gate of the conference hall.
