tired……
Sleepy……
Exhausted...
sleepy……
Qingdeng slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that caught his eye was the ceiling that he hadn't seen yet.
——Am I asleep...?
When did he fall asleep, how long did he sleep?... He has no memory at all.
Affected by the boiling emotions, a large memory before bed became particularly vague.
The only thing he remembered was "sleeping through overwork" - he fell asleep because he was extremely tired.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep to death.
He hasn't experienced it in a long time since he experienced it.
As his consciousness gradually recovered, he felt his fatigue suddenly worsening, and his weight seemed to have increased by dozens of kilograms.
The limbs are sore, the head is swollen...especially the waist, which produces a burst of strange numbness.
He was obviously blessed with the gift of "Iron Waist + 6", but he was still so tired... It is conceivable how crazy he was with Tianzhangyuan.
——What about Yu Yi…?
Qingdeng vaguely remembered that Tianzhangyuan and him fell asleep at the same time.
Tianzhangyuan, who was also so tired that he fell asleep, should be lying beside him.
However, at this moment, his side was empty.
He turned his gaze blankly, looking for the figure of the beautiful woman.
There is no room for hiding people in a small room, and there is not even furniture.
The only thing worthy of attention is a set of soaked bedding in the corner.
This set of bedding is not ordinary wet.
Looking closely, you can vaguely see a small pool of water stains under it, wetting the tatami.
Qingdeng suddenly remembered that before falling asleep, he forced himself to hold up his last energy and changed into a dry quilt, which is the quilt he was sleeping in now.
Tianzhangyuan had long anticipated this situation, so he specially prepared two sets of bedding.
Her eyes swept across every inch of the room, and there was no sign of Tianzhangyuan... She should have gone out.
Qingdeng touched her bed, and it was still a little warm.
This shows that she has just left for a while.
——What time is it now?
Qingdeng picked up the pocket watch next to the bedside and opened the cover - it was just past 4 a.m.
When he was in the arms of Tianzhangyuan, he paid special attention to the time at that time, which was about 8 pm.
In other words, 8 hours have passed.
As soon as night fell, he and Tianzhangyuan hurriedly finished their simple wedding, and then went straight to the bed without stopping.
Because I don’t even have time to eat supper, I have extra time.
Although it takes 8 hours, the sleep time is only a little over 3 hours.
Another 5 hours... what should I say... an indescribable 5 hours.
The Tenzhangyuan, relying on his own efforts, dragged Aoden for 5 hours to achieve a "number" that neither Sanako, Kinoshita Mai nor the Chief Minister had ever reached.
Qingdeng understands the profound meaning of the proverb "Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger."
What's more, this "wolf" is still a "fighting wolf" that has accumulated 29 years of desire.
The scenes before going to bed are certainly worth remembering, but now is not the time to do such things.
What he cares most about at the moment is naturally where Tianzhangyuan goes.
He crawled out of the bed, put on his clothes, took the sword that he never left, and went straight out of the room.
Because the site was "cleared" by Tianzhangyuan, there was no light in the shrine.
He did not understand the internal structure of this shrine, so he could only walk out along the direction he came.
The deep corridor extends forward, as if it is endless.
No matter where you go or how long you walk, only deep darkness is waiting in front of you.
Before he knew it, he came to the place where he held his wedding with Tianzhangyuan, the temple.
At this time, finally, a color other than "darkness" appeared in his horizon-
A touch of white.
A touch of holy white.
I saw Tianzhang Courtyard dressed neatly, standing in the center of the temple, with hands folded in front of me, staring at the shrine in front of me.
The clothes she wore were exactly the flawless white and Wuqi.
However, she carved out that she did not wear a white cotton hat or socks.
The soft three thousand black hairs were loosened down, and they were naked with a pair of white and tender little feet.
She really cherishes this dress and regards it as a treasure.
Before meeting Qingdeng, she solemnly took off her clothes and put them neatly, not allowing a trace of stain to stick to it.
——Yu Yi...what is she doing?
In the middle of the night, he did not sleep in the quilt, but instead came to the secluded temple... Such strange behavior made Qingdeng both confused and curious.
Driven by curiosity, he did not go forward immediately, but quietly hid behind the pillar, cleverly hid his body, and secretly observed the other party's every move.
At this time, there was a sudden movement in Tianzhangyuan-
She walked in her staggering, seemingly injured footsteps, and moved to the front of the shrine with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Bang!
Bang!
Accompanied by two crisp applauses, she closed her eyes, lowered her head, and folded her hands together—the standard position to make a wish to the gods.
"The three venerable and stern, Shin-sama, worshipped the Inari Shrine God of Inari Shrine in fear and fear."
She reported her complete precept name and introduced herself respectfully to the gods.
Then, she spoke her wish straightforwardly:
"Please protect Yuan Su Ni Yuuchi Sein-Hsui."
The sudden name...and the full name that can only be used in very formal occasions made Qingdeng stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that just after the wedding, Tianzhangyuan told him: This shrine is very effective.
In addition, he still remembers the "little trick" - when making a wish in this shrine, just by speaking out your wishes, you can greatly increase the success rate of making a wish.
The continuous voice of Tianzhangyuan brought his consciousness back to reality.
He held his breath and listened with his ears-
"Inari Daming God, I'm very sorry."
"As you see tonight, I... have done something very immoral."
"As the Great Olympiad of the Shogunate, I go against the rules."
"As a nun, I broke the precepts."
"It's all because I... fell in love with someone I shouldn't have fallen in love with."
"I'm really selfish in doing this."
"This extraordinary behavior will greatly harm the prestige of the shogunate."
"And it will also cause great harm to him."
"Now, he is now the most powerful minister and has a bright future."
"However, no matter how high his status is, no matter how strong his power is, it cannot offset the guilt of 'agreement with the Great Imperial Territory'."
"If the outside world knows what happened tonight, he will bear the infamy that will never be erased."
"I know this, but I...but I...but I..."
She kept murmuring...
Her voice became more and more trembling...
Because Qingdeng hid behind her, he could only see his back and could not see his expression change.
"But I... can't suppress my emotions anymore..."
"I want to be with him."
"No matter what, no matter what happens, even if the world is hanging upside down, I will not change my ambition."
"It is precisely because I want to be half of it more than anyone else, so... I'm scared."
"And today there is a great chaos, and there are many heroes in Zhuolu."
"Samo, Changzhou, Tosa, and Hiromaki, the 'Ikabashi' that has not yet disappeared... and the mysterious law-killing party..."
"The wolves are fed around and they are not allowed to be at ease... I am so scared."
"I'm afraid I'll never see him again..."
"Before, I could meet Jiamao every day and listen to him complain; when I sent a letter to Sheng Qing, I could always receive a reply soon."
"This comfortable life made me almost forget the hardships of the world."
"Jiamao's serious injury made me suddenly realize that we are all mortal bodies, and we have no indestructible steel and iron bones, and we do not have more lives than others."
"I'm too weak... I can't compare with his other three wives."
"Miss Zonako, Miss Wu and Miss General are both unlimited female heroes."
"Compared with them, I have nothing to do except for my noble origin."
"Whenever he wants to go to danger, I can only watch."
"Just as not long ago, I watched him fight the boy Shuitun."
"Just as not long ago, I watched him block the three thousand army of Mito's vassal."
"He defeated the powerful enemies again and again, and survived again and again."
"But what about next time? What about next time?"
"There are so many enemies... How long will it take to go, and how many fierce battles will it take to fight? Only then will the peaceful world come?"
"I'm afraid he's exhausted physically and mentally, I'm afraid he's sick due to overwork, I'm afraid he... dies young..."
"So, I want to seize the time, and I want to quickly unite with him and become his real wife when he still has spare time."
"So, I couldn't wait to arrange today's 'play house' and tonight's wedding..."
"To be honest, even I think my approach is pitiful and humble."
"But, I don't regret it."
At this point, she stopped.
Then, she smiled.
It was strange that she clearly turned her back to Qingdeng, and the latter could not see her expression, but he could just feel: she smiled.
She bent her lips and smiled happily, and joy popped out of her eyebrows.
"Although I only became his wife for half a day - and played - I was also satisfied."
"I admire the joy tonight even more."
"Today is the happiest day since I married into the shogunate."
"I have no regrets."
"I dare not ask for more."
"So, Inari Daming God, do whatever you want to deal with me."
"I have violated the rules and broken the precepts and committed such unfaithful and selfish acts, no matter how terrible the punishment I suffered."
"I am willing to accept all God's punishment."
"I just want you to protect him..."
She finished speaking.
As she finished speaking, she tightened her shoulders and lowered her head deeply... Her posture was so humble.
The tremor was obvious in the voice...
Trying to suppress a certain emotion...
At this time, a bright moonlight penetrated the gap in the ceiling and hit her directly.
Under the moonlight, the white Wuqi on her body reflected a soft luster.
Countless particles visible to the naked eye were as if attracted by her, spinning up and down around her.
The darker the surroundings of the temple, the brighter the moonlight and the holiness of the woman in the center of the moonlight.
"...A couple who are just half a day is not worth mentioning. We will be a couple forever, and we will be together forever-I promise you."
Suddenly, a firm voice came from behind her.
She opened her eyes, her eyes were complicated and unspeakable.
She let go of her hands, raised her head, and slowly turned around.
The two gazes blended in mid-air.
Under the moonlight, the two looked at each other from afar.
Silent, fearless.
...
...
No matter how people feel, the passage of time will never stop - this is both the fairness of time and the cruelty of time.
The sun rises, unveils the night yarn, and a new day comes.
Qingdeng doesn’t care about the criticism of the world and the evaluation of later generations... all of the above are completely different.
He is a completely "pragmatic person", and these false names do not hurt him at all.
Therefore, even if his marriage to Tianzhangyuan was made public, he would not even be afraid and would not even move his eyebrows.
However, at the strong request of Tianzhangyuan, they temporarily concealed their current true relationship.
As soon as they drove away the "Yiqiao Sect" and dominated the shogunate, Qingdeng opened up to marry Tianzhangyuan as his wife - what's that?
How will people view Qingdeng? And how will they view the "Nanji School".
By then, Qingdeng will really become the "Japanese version of Dong Zhuo"!
This is like not asking for advice, confirming the criticism of Qingdeng by the "Yiqiao Sect".
"Juqing climbed the harem of promiscuity" was originally an important excuse for the "Yiqiao Sect" to raise an army and attack.
Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, at least at this stage, you must not disclose relevant information to the outside world.
In order to convince Qing Deng, Tianzhangyuan also said:
"This feeling of 'hiding relationships and getting along secretly' is quite good."
After that night, Tianzhangyuan turned back to the quirky and eccentric appearance that loved to tease Qingdeng.
For this reason, Qingdeng didn't know whether her words were serious or joking.
However, it seems not surprising that she thought of her extraordinary behavior of "teasing Qingdeng with her two little feet in front of Zuo Nazi through the curtain", so she would have such an idea.
In this way, the two lived a "double-sided life".
On the surface, she acted with Qingdeng and continued to maintain the "relationship between the king and the subject". The latter still called her "Your Highness" and the former still called him "General Orange".
But in private...
The same sentence is still the same, "Thirty years are like a wolf, forty years are like a tiger."
Tianzhangyuan seemed to be trying to make up for all the desires, loneliness and grievances she had accumulated for about twenty-nine years.
In short, "Marrying Tianzhangyuan" is an episode in Qingdeng in recent times.
After this incident, Aoden's life returned to normal, and he rushed back into official duties, focusing all his energy on the upcoming "Mito Conquest"!
In just a few days, it will take a blink of an eye.
The day of sending troops - February 15th - arrived quietly!
...
...
The first year of Qingying (1865), February 15th
Edo, northern suburbs—
The newly selected teams of the second, third, fourth, sixth, seventh, tenth, eleventh, and ninth teams - this mighty army with a total of more than 3,000 was safely arranged.
Qingdeng held Vairocana on his waist and set the ox in front of the formation.
Tenzhangyuan, Katsurain Taro and other senior shogunate officials came to see him off.
With the blessing of talents such as "Health + 6" and "Yuanyang + 7", Qingdeng's recovery speed has always been very abnormal.
After more than a month of quiet rest, Qing Deng's injuries have improved greatly.
Although it has not recovered, there is no risk of wound cracking, and its strength has recovered by about 50%.
In this state, it is more than enough to use it to conquer the Mito family, which has greatly reduced its national strength!
He did not recite the complicated proclamation of the thief loudly, but just shook the light onion-colored Hayao on his body and shouted loudly:
"Start! Conquer Mito!"
Ao Kondo next to him immediately whispered:
“Hey————”
In the next breath, the three thousand soldiers shouted "Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!" in unison, shocking the world!
The three thousand army headed north, and the troops headed directly to the Mito vassal!
Mito conquest begins!
