Butterfly [The Great Austrian Woman Version]

In the dark sky, there is a rain of flower petals, and the color cannot be distinguished, only the remaining white.Twelve young women in red and white Wu suits, uniform clothes and hair accessories, held poles more than two meters high, with delicate lanterns hanging from them, and long tassels hanging from the lanterns; There are two musicians playing very Japanese folk music; twelve men in white and red in the bottom, each with a flower basket, and sprinkled flower petals on the road; a man is riding on a white horse; Dress uniformly.Such a battle is rare, grand and extravagant, dazzling everyone's eyes.

But all of this is no match for the man on the horse.The white sleeveless Waigua, the red Wufu, bright as blood, the towering cap, and the relaxed expression.He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if smiling, but it didn't reach his eyes.As if the guard of honor and the crowd of onlookers didn't exist, he just came out to ride the horse for fun, and everything in the world was to set off his existence.

Ji Zong stared at the scene in front of him in a daze. It was so vivid that it seemed to be directly imprinted in his brain through the retina, and invaded forcefully with heat and stinging pain.For some reason, every time she sees this man, she feels that she is no longer herself. Her body, mind, and heartbeat are not in her control, nor can she control them.She could only freeze her body, stop her thoughts and even her heartbeat, and look at him.He seemed to be the only one left in the world, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.Among the falling cherry blossoms, Ji Zong looked at the man's haughty posture, but for no reason felt that the petals, like his tears, were silent, beautiful, but faintly bloody.Ji Zong didn't know why he felt sad, like a trapped animal. She felt that she felt his pain, and her heart twitched in pain.

She never thought that she would be so out of control and have such inexplicable emotions.If there is a protective wall in her heart, then this person is the one who can pass through the wall directly. All her defenses and rationality are useless in front of this person.Don't ask her why, don't blame her, because she herself is asking why this is happening, and blaming herself for being so abnormal and irrational.This is not a problem that can be explained with words and logic. It is like an extremely aggressive virus that quickly invades, spreads, and self-corrects. so fit.

The people on the horse felt something, or turned to Ji Zong's side randomly, and a prying gaze pierced him.Zhu looked at the side of the road, and there were only dark people. Because the lanterns were bright, it was even more difficult for people to see the dark road clearly.He withdrew his gaze, with a lazy smile on his face, and walked all the way to Mt. Shinagawa, where the Emperor's special envoy was greeted, amidst the admiration of the crowd.

The guard of honor passed by, and the street fell into darkness again, and everyone happily shared this rare grand occasion.But Ji Zong fell into a silent and dark world.The light in her heart was taken away with the guard of honor.

When the guard of honor arrived at the post station in the mountain, it was already dark, torches were lit around the courtyard, and the post station was lively with bright lights.Guards of honor filed in and spread out along the circular courtyard. The already bright courtyard became brighter because of their arrival.Zhu rode in, and when the horse entered the yard, it didn't go any further with the guard of honor, and stopped at the door.The horse seemed to sense the restlessness of its owner, lowered its head and pawed the ground irritably, breathing hot air from its nose.Zhu reached out and patted the horse's neck, comforting his partner silently.In the center of the spacious yard, there is a conical firewood pile, which is as tall as a person.

As soon as Zhu stretched out his hand, someone handed him his customary bow. He sat on the horse, tried it a few times with both hands, stretched out his hand again, and carefully handed a flaming arrow into his hand. .His left arm was stretched out, and his right arm was pulling the string. His lips were attached to the right thumb that was pulling the string. The flame of the arrow was jumping slightly, and even burned his left hand holding the bow, but he was not in a hurry to draw the arrow shoot out.Taking a deep breath to calm his beating heart, he finally snapped the arrow and shot it out.With a bang, the fire in the center of the yard was ignited.It illuminated the sky, and also illuminated the courtyard, the bamboo with bows on one side of the courtyard, and Prince Masahino Arisugawa standing on a high platform with a gloomy smile on the other side of the courtyard.

Bamboo got off his horse and was picked up by someone else.He walked steadily towards the other side of the yard.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Prince Masahin of Yuqichuan Palace." Zhu Xing went to the high platform, stopped, knelt down and saluted.No one asked him to get up, he could only kneel down, his silver teeth almost gnawed into pieces.Thinking of Jin Weixi's words, the anger in his heart was like the bonfire burning in the yard, reaching the sky.However, strength is the confidence to speak, so he didn't say anything, and he couldn't even show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, but expressed his deep gratitude.Because, within a few days, that man actually cleaned up Da Ao.The methods are fierce, not inferior to anyone he has ever seen.Even if this man is placed in the court, he will not be inferior to anyone.So, here he is, the adopted son left by the former general without any support, here to "enjoy" the great "favor" bestowed upon him by His Royal Highness Jin Weixi, reflecting his last bit of value.

The chin was lifted frivolously with a fan, and Prince Arisugawa Miya Masahin looked at the bamboo up and down with lustful eyes.And on Zhu's face, there was no trace of impatience and embarrassment, his face was full of smiles, and even his eyes seemed moist. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said softly, "Your Highness."

"Hahaha, good, good, really good, stunning, stunning!" Prince Arisugawa Miya Masahin tapped his palm with a fan and laughed loudly.She put the fan on her waist, bent down to support Zhu with both hands, but Zhu was much taller than her, dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, Zhu lowered her head slightly, and she resumed her smile.Holding Zhu's hand, in front of a crowd of people, he went up the steps, entered the house, and closed the door.

"Without my summons, no one is allowed to come in!" As if fearing that others would not know what she and Zhu were going to do, she explained loudly.In the yard, everyone merged into the night and became a part of the night. Only the bonfire crackled and jumped up and down, as if trying to break free from the shackles and escape the ground.

In the early morning, Ji Zong was still wearing the white single clothes he had slept in, sitting barefoot on the veranda, looking at the running well in the yard, as if addicted to it.She had a cup of tea by her hand, which had been changed many times, just like this from hot to cold, replaced with hot one for her, and let it cool again.The waiter whispered a few words to the Garner Zhengzhi who came, and the latter waved his hand to signal them to go out.Ghana Zheng stepped forward, replaced Ji Zong with a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Ji Zong with both hands.

"Lord feudal lord, please drink tea." She said softly, Ji Zong stretched out his hand in a daze, took it, and put it to his mouth, but he was brought back to his senses by the hot tea.

"Hiss." Ji Zong has a cat's tongue, few people know about it, she is afraid of heat.Ghana Zhengzhi didn't see any panic, but instead said, "Don't you feel hot when you take the water, my lord? You have to drink it."

Ji Zong was taken aback by what she said, and felt that the words were very philosophical, foreshadowing stands.She withdrew her mind, and asked, "The matter that was investigated yesterday is clear." She put the hot teacup back on the ground, and was still fascinated by the rattling bamboo pipes, the stone sink, and the A watery puddle of water.But, this time, her mind was no longer wandering.Masato Kano looked at Yoshimune's side face, a little ecstatic and quiet. Tokugawa Mitsusada also liked to sit here and look at this small well, and he could look at it for a long time. Masato Kano didn't know what they were looking at, or, What do you think, only at this time, do you feel that they are indeed mother and daughter, with blood nature.

"Return to the master, I found out. That Axiu recently married that person as a concubine." Masao Kano did not raise his head to look at Ji Zong's expression. Ji Zong's expression was actually indifferent. Ah, how much Axiu disdains to show off your beauty to others, but in this world, if you don't have the ability, you can only be fish and meat, and be slaughtered by others. This is a fate he cannot escape.Is it his fault that Axiu looks outstanding, no, but if he doesn't have the strength or the opportunity to protect himself, that's his fault.

"What is that person's identity?" Ji Zong figured out the relationship between the two of them when they met. Although she was a little surprised that the man married at the age of 12, didn't she also have one in her family?What she wanted to know was the woman's identity and her strangeness.

"That man's full name is Zangaisuke Oishi, a rogue from the Ako clan."

"Ako Fan?" Yoshimune looked at Kano Masao, who nodded and continued, "Yes, it was the Ako Fan of Asano Nagomachi who cut Kira and your shoulder in Pine Corridor last time, and Oishi Zangai helped him It's not easy, she was originally the 'old man' of the Akho feudal clan, the head of the feudal clan! In just a few months, she managed the affairs of the feudal clan and came to Edo alone."

"Hmph, go alone!" Ji Zong curled his lips, thinking of the group of people with swords, they turned out to be people without masters, a group of ronin.

"What did she come to Edo for?"

"Restore the feudal domain and severely punish Kira Uenosuke."

"Is that okay?" Ji Zong asked with a frown, but yes, the ruling may not be unchangeable if the general changes.

"Yes, they have been active recently. They want to restore the feudal clan, but Asano University does not support it, and the responses of the Edo family members are also mediocre."

"Asano University?"

"It's the younger sister of Asano Nagamo. If the domain is restored, she will be the lord."

"Then why doesn't she fight?" Ji Zong asked, don't the world like to chase names?

Kano Zhengzhi felt that this matter was worth discussing in detail, "Then she has to have a life to blog. Asano University is a restrained and gentle person, and she will not let it go. If you win, you will be the feudal lord. If you lose, you will not even have your life. Moreover, Chi The situation in Sui Fan is also very complicated, with mixed factions, so it is really not easy for Oishi Zang Neizhu to sort out the affairs of the Fan in such a short period of time. It is really a great talent to minimize the loss." Without supervision, it is not appropriate to be indifferent to such a large sum of money and arrange the lives of the people in the feudal domain. , can be regarded as "loyalty".

Ji Zong had a general understanding of Dashi Zang Neizhu, and also recognized her "great talent" in government affairs.It's just, "Ako withdrew the domain, the territory was confiscated, all the vassals and samurai had no owners, and they were displaced. What about their families? Are they not implicated?"

Gana Zhengzhi glanced at Ji Zong, and said, "It stands to reason that the family members will be implicated, but the main wife of the feudal lord has asked himself to become a monk, and people like Oishi who are running for the restoration of the feudal clan have long put life and death aside. She came to Edo Before that, I sent the main wife back to my husband's house, breaking the relationship between husband and wife."

Ji Zong understood that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and the law does not blame the public. It is estimated that the shogunate can accept this martial arts vassal without any injuries.However, this matter actually has endless troubles.Ji Zong went through the official matters in his mind, and finally settled on the personal matters in his heart.Since Dashi Zang's wife knows that she is divorcing her husband, she knows that the crime is more serious than good, and she doesn't want to hurt her relatives.But why did she accept Axiu again?Isn't Ah Xiu's life his life?Is she enjoying the last tenderness?No, she was covering up her identity and paralyzing her opponent.The more she indulges in beauty, the lower the opponent's vigilance.But, did she see such a color embryo?No, that was a man of extreme self-control and restraint.Therefore, Axiu became her best cover in Edo, even a pastime when she was bored at night, perhaps, a human shield when she was attacked.

Ji Zong clenched his fists. She wanted to help Axiu, but she didn't know what to do. Can she handle everything in this world?Just as she was thinking about countermeasures, someone came in a hurry, as if she had news to report.The general succeeds, and the seemingly calm waters of Edo Castle have actually been boiled for a long time.Ji Zong also asked them to report any troubles, big or small, and she nodded to Gana Zhengzhi, who invited people to answer.

It was about that person, Gana Zhengzhi looked at the back of the feudal lord, straight, but also lonely, she was only a 15-year-old child.She hesitated, but Ji Zong is undoubtedly her biggest leader now, so she can only report truthfully.However, that person's influence on the feudal lord is undoubtedly huge. Last time the feudal lord was strangled into the Pine Corridor incident, he was even stabbed to protect that person.The whole person is devastated, and the injury is second. If the first love is for that person, it is really a disaster for no reason.Therefore, Tokugawa Mitsusada tried his best to pull Yoshimune out of that assassination.But, did that person really say that he could pull it out?

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she didn't reply for a long time, Ji Zong asked with a frown. Is it really such a big deal?The general died suddenly?In this Edo city, she would not be surprised at what happened at this time.

Gana Zhengzhi lowered his head and thought about it, and looked up at Ji Zongdao, "It's just a gossip. This morning, the adopted son of the former general, Take-kun, was escorted back to the city by the emperor's special envoy, and formally proposed a marriage proposal."

Listening to this short sentence, Ji Zong went through it countless times in his mind, and he didn't know why, but he just didn't understand the meaning.She knew every word, but she couldn't understand the rich meaning embodied together.That person went to the post station last night, and he just came back this morning. When he went there, he was alone, but when he came back, there were two of them. That person even proposed marriage. Why, after a long talk all night, it was so late to fall in love at first sight?fart!Two overlapping bodies crashed into Ji Zong's mind, she quickly closed her eyes, held her breath, and forcefully forced the image out.However, the scene was emptied, and what was left was only the cherry blossom petals flying all over the sky, each piece was like bamboo tears, and when they fell, it burned her.

This world is too crazy, what are men, in the eyes of the world?She doesn't understand and accepts incompetence, but what can she do?No, she must be able to do something!Her hands clasped her knees tightly, squeezing them tightly.
