April, plum rain season.

The cold water of Matsuura River outside the Kishigaki Castle was clear. Until the morning, it was drizzling on the sandy islands on the shore. From time to time, a few foxes or wild boars cried from the surrounding mountains and forests, which shocked the ears. The morning chickens had stopped crying, and the mansion was cold and quiet.

At this time, Kikumi was standing under the eaves, holding Tang Wangmaru who was sleeping in her arms, staring at the small pool in the yard made up of last night's rain.

She remembered five years ago, when it was her loyal father who gave her to Zhengliang as her official wife. At that time, she was only fourteen years old and didn't know the difference between men and women. Her father said to her: "I'll send you to the head of the family. You must serve him well." Then he entrusted the matter to his mother, so her mother told her the difference between men and women with a stern face.

"The head of the family is already seventeen years old, so you must serve with your heart." When she knew that serving was not just about eating and dressing, her face turned red. If her mother showed a little shame when she told her these things, she would definitely blush and escape from the room. However, her mother, who is known as a hero among women and even her father tolerated her, explained to her in a rigid tone: "These are all for the purpose of reproduction of descendants, and you should not be careless at all."

After explaining, she told her seriously: "You will depend on yourself for the future." In the season when the cherry blossoms are blooming, she came to Masayoshi with her mother. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom at the foot of the wild mountain, she met Masayoshi for the first time. Then she became Masayoshi's wife in a confused manner.

The two got married for more than half a year, but Zhengliang did not do what his mother said to her. Finally, under the urging of her parents, she couldn't help but ask Zhengliang shyly why he didn't touch her. As a result, Zhengliang gently scraped her nose with his hand. Then he said, "Wait a minute. Those things are not good for your health now."

So she waited for half a year in a daze. Finally, on the night she was serving Zhengliang to take a bath, Zhengliang became very angry. Soon after, she became pregnant with Tang Wangwan. From then on, Zhengliang's figure left a deep mark in her heart.

She was just a gentle, considerate, quiet and silent woman behind her back. Although her mother would always tell her when she occasionally came to visit her that women from the Warring States period should be enlightened. What is this so-called enlightenment? She never understood, and her mother did not clearly tell her the true meaning of these two words.

After the bad news that Zhengliang was "unconscious" suddenly came, she finally knew the meaning of these two words. She urgently hoped to see Zhengliang and then perform her duties as a wife to take care of her.

But his father, Heiji Togo, stopped her and told her what she should do most at this time. That was to bring Tang Wangmaru, who was only over three years old, to meet all the retainers who swore allegiance, and at the same time, he had to pretend to be calm and show her strong side as a mistress so that the retainers could feel at ease.

But after all, people have feelings. At this time, she was completely unaware of it and felt extremely lonely, sad, and afraid... But all these negative feelings cannot be revealed in this special period, and she even had to show the opposite side to her inner feelings.

Now, Kikuhi's only wish is to meet the "unconscious" Masaruo. However, this was still rejected by her father Heiji Togo, so she had to hold her only remaining spiritual pillar, Tang Wanmaru, and was stunned alone.

In fact, in an attic not far from where Kikumi is, Masayoshi is also looking at Kikumi in a daze through a crack in the window.

"Hey! In order to make things look more realistic and to avoid leaking rumors, I can only temporarily feel wronged you." Zhengliang said to himself.

In fact, Zhengliang was indeed playing with fire at this time. You should know that in the Warring States Period, the incident of the sudden serious injury of the family governor was definitely a matter of a magnitude seven-magnitude earthquake for the family. If you are not careful, it is very likely to cause many unpredictable things.

Of course, as long as Zhengliang stands out in time, many things will be solved. However, this opportunity to stand out must be grasped just right, otherwise Zhengliang's deliberate drama will likely become a real drama.

Time soon entered May of the 14th year of the Astronomy. The Luo family fell into a busy spring farming process. Although the news that the king of the country was seriously injured and unconscious was quietly spread throughout the territory, land was the lifeblood of the people. Although many people were indeed very concerned about the king's injuries, they had to serve these lands that determine whether they were fed or not before they could think about it.

However, the important officials of the Luo family did not seem to want the people to have extra time to go around and think about it. Therefore, while the spring farming was busy, the Luo family's internal affairs cabinet once again released large-scale corvee labor, organizing the people to vigorously carry out the construction of the march road, the repair of water conservancy, and the cultivation of farmland.

As for the standing army of the Luo family, it seemed that they had also remained silent collectively. Since receiving the orders from Zhengliang's letters, the leaders of each team have been implementing Zhengliang's orders step by step.

Compared to the calmness inside the Luo family's territory, the powerful people around the Luo family responded differently because they received news that Zheng Liang was seriously injured and unconscious.

The rich people who had just had a big fight with the Luo family in March finally breathed a sigh of relief. While glad that they could finally organize the spring plowing with peace of mind, they were also praying in their hearts that the eagle in front of the fat would not wake up again.

Of course, it was not peaceful everywhere. In the Fuhou Shangyicheng County, the military force of the Minghe family, the Suiliang family, and the alliance was fighting against the army of the Omiya Si family. And Yoshiwu Kikuchi, who disappeared from the Jufu City of Kikuchi County, was not willing to be lonely. He suddenly formed an alliance with the Luzimu family and regained his original city of the Omiya Si family. After a little bit of his foothold in Jufu City, he immediately led his troops to the Shangdao City of the Omiya Si family, trying to catch up with the messy waters of all parties.

After learning about the sudden change of the Luo family, in order to find out the facts and reality of the Luo family, the Oui family immediately sent Masaru's cheap father-in-law, Aoliang Takeshi, to serve as an envoy to the Luo family. Similarly, Satsuma Shimazu family also sent Ijiyuan Tadaro to the Luo family. Obviously, both of them were rejected in Anyue Castle. Except for receiving vague answers from the Luo family's retainers, they did not even see Masaru's shadow.

Compared to the careful investigation between the Ouchi family and the Shimazu family, the Outomo family seemed much more intense. After finally pursuing the rebellion, Yoshiki Outomo, who was finally trying to pacify the rebellion, was furious immediately. He even sent two armies to advance to the border between the Luo family in Tuogo and Hirogo.

With the arrival of the Otomo family's army, the plotters who had been dormant inside the Luo family finally realized that the opportunity had come, so they all went out.
