At the end of September in the sixth year of Yonglu (1562), the autumn in the mountain city had already fallen. The green leaves outside the window gradually turned red, indicating to people that winter was coming.

Two months ago, just as the Tokugawa family captured Nagashino Castle, Takeda Katsurai, who received the news, was immediately upset by the news, and was stuck in the bedroom, closed her lips tightly, and listened to the latest battle report seriously. In the past two months, the Takeda family not only took Nagashino Castle by Tokugawa Ieyasu, but also sent thousands of troops to chase the betrayer Aopi Satona and his son, but failed to capture Takiyama Castle, which the Satona and his son.

"How about Saburo Bingwei?" Takeda Katsurai said in a stern tone.

The young spy of twenty-four or five years old sent by Takeda Zaemon doctor Nobuki turned his head dissatisfiedly: "He was listless from the day Nagashino Castle fell."

"Where is Xinchun?"

"He is the same. Since he lost Nagashiko Castle and retreated to Mount Fenglai Templekou..."

"Have he lost his fighting spirit, too?"

"That's right. My master said that Lord Aemon and Lord Xiaoyaoxuan also changed their temperaments."

Takeda Katsurai silently controlled her emotions, and was speechless for a while, staring at a corner of the bedroom. "Your name is Katayama?"

"Yes. The villain Katayama Katsurororo."

"What do you think is the reason why everyone is so angry?"

"The villain thought there were two reasons."

"What is one?"

"The Aoping family among the Yama family defected to the Tokugawa family, and maybe the remaining two families will be betray them, so you need to be careful."

"Oh. That means Suganua Izu and Shinhachiro are not trustworthy, right?"

"Not only that, Fenglai Temple and the wild samurai and the people nearby should not be taken lightly."

"Oh. OK. I understand." Takeda Katsurai didn't ask the second reason. He knew that if he asked again, the young man might say loudly that it was because Takeda Shingen's death was leaked. Now that I think about it, my father was the backbone of Takeda. I didn't expect that his father's death would bring such great pain. Not to mention that Katsurai was poor, the people were also shaken. Some people even had a low evaluation of Takeda Katsurai and distrust... it was because his father was extremely brave. But if he continued to withdraw his troops, he would be in Tokugawa Ieyasu's mind.

"What you mean is to pay attention to the people's hearts near Fenglai Temple?"

"yes."

"Then suppress the consuls there. Okay. Go down and rest."

Kanjiroro was obviously dissatisfied with it, as if he had something to say. What he wanted to say must be what happened when Shingen Gong was alive, and what he is now. Takeda Katsurai deliberately turned his head indifferently. He didn't know that his anger and sigh actually had a deeper reason, and he could not simply attribute everything to his father's death. But the more he explained this, the more he felt regretful and irritable.

Even if Takeda Katsurai was not as good as his father, he was definitely not a mediocre person. He could not gain the trust of his retainers, which made him anxious and restless. He should have proved his strength to others. But his anger gradually made Takeda Katsurai lose his rationality and judgment. After he pulled away from his spy, he supported himself on the support table with one elbow. He was speechless. After a while, he opened his blood-red eyes and said to the person: "Open the door."

As the cold wind passes, a maple leaf falls onto the tatami.

"Are you okay?" Jibu Dachasuke asked from the side.

"The wind is a little cold." Takeda Katsurai was a little dazed, "Go and tell Zhuo Shisuke Zuo to bring the hostages left by Satoshino and his son."

"Did the young master kill the hostage?"

Takeda Katsurai still did not answer. He asked his retainers to call him Young Master in order to hide the news of his father's death. But he is now angry at this word. His father left his last words and asked him to hide the news of his death for three years, but this last words have a great impact on morale. Takeda Katsurai believed that his father wanted him to recognize the hearts of his family during these three years and observe the general trend of the world at the same time; but the ministers in his family did not think so. They all negatively believed that once the death of his father Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu would join forces with Kenshin to attack Pegashu, and the Imakawa family would also take action, so it could not be announced easily. Fortunately, fortunately, he re-discussed peace with the Imakawa family not long ago, and it would be more difficult to be responsible for his situation at this time.

Prison Guard Sorsuke Zaemon walked in, and two servants escorted a woman tied up behind her back. She was Afeng, the daughter of Natsume Goro Zaemon, who was only fifteen years old.

Here she is not the daughter of Gorozuo, she is the daughter of the Six Bingwei of Ouphira Satona, and the wife of Satonahara, the son of Satonahara. Before Satona and his son left Satonahara and attacked the Kafai army, she was treated well at Takeda's house.

"The person you want is brought." The prison guard greeted Takeda Katsurai.

Takeda Katsurai rushed to the corridor angrily and shouted loudly: "A Feng, do you know why you have today?"

A Feng nodded. At the age of fifteen, she frowned and looked like a young nun with hair and practiced, looking pitiful.

"As the wife of Okai Satomasa, you must not deceive me." Takeda Katsurai scolded.

A Feng ignored her and let her servants push her to the ground. Then, he slowly raised his head and replied expressionlessly: "I am not the young lady of the Aoping family."

"no?"

"Yes. I am just the daughter of an unknown retainer."

Takeda Katsurai hurriedly looked around: "Have you and Zhenchang still not held a wedding?"

"No." A Feng shook his head slowly again. Maybe he was born strong, or he knew he would die without a doubt, and she looked very calm. "This is just a scam. When I was killed, it was the day when my elders fulfilled their wish for death. The master ordered me to pretend to be the young lady."

"What did you say? Let you pretend to be Zhenchang's wife?"

"yes."

Takeda Katsura's body trembled violently. His anger had not yet disappeared, and he was so stimulated, and he felt extremely humiliated. "You mean, when Aoping and his son sent you to Takeda's house, he was determined to betray him?"

"No." A Feng shook his head expressionlessly, "I have a heart of betrayal when I surrender to you."

"Support Zaemon, kill her!" Takeda Katsurai couldn't help but roared. "No, wait!" He quickly changed his words.

Even this little woman dared to deceive me and dared to underestimate me! His anger suddenly turned into a beastly flame. The wind blew, and the strong wind blew the red leaves to A Feng's side. One piece fell on A Feng's hair, reminding people of the flower on the head of a commoner's daughter.

"Haha..." Takeda Katsurai suddenly burst into laughter and said in a trembling voice: "The rope is untied."

The prison prison untied the rope on A Feng's body in confusion. A Feng moved his shoulders and bent his fingers. Takeda Katsurai stared at her with his eyes, "A Feng."

"snort!"

"Are you fifteen years old?"

"yes."

"Whose daughter are you?" Takeda Katsurai leaned his head against the support table, and Zhi Yi asked, "If you are not Zhenchang's wife, it will be useless to kill you. I will send you back to my father. Who did this idea come up with? Zhenneng, or Zhenchang?"

A Feng looked at Takeda Katsurai indifferently and shook his head.

"It's neither Zhenneng nor Zhennhou?" Takeda Katsurai was so angry that she was so angry that she was filled with smoke from the seven orifices. Compared with the beginning, A Feng in front of her seemed to have become a different person. When he thought of being deceived by an ordinary woman, he couldn't help but feel even more annoyed.
