Takeda Nobutora squinted his eyes and scanned the tiger on the screen. His eyes seemed to be going through the screen to see clearly the daughter behind who was even more badass and more powerful than him.
She snorted coldly and said.
"Okay, okay, what a filial daughter. I am so lucky to be your mother."
"Since my mother doesn't blame me, I feel relieved. I'm just curious about why my mother is willing to come to see me."
Takeda Nobutora vaguely felt something was wrong, Takeda Harunobu seemed to be deliberately irritating her, hoping that she would go away.
To be honest, Takeda Nobutora no longer hates this daughter in his heart. She is indeed capable.
Takeda Nobutora did not deliberately use the tax rate of 8 public and 2 citizens at the beginning, but was forced to do so.
Kai Country is a small and barren country in the mountains. The Imagawa family is powerful in the south, and the Shinano family is watching in the north.
After Takeda Nobutora unified the interior, she has been facing threats from the north and the south. This is the reason why she had to search for supplies and replenish military supplies.
After Takeda Nobutora was expelled, she was not convinced at first, but Takeda Harunobu's series of tricks later convinced her.
Internally, Takeda Harunobu won over the people who were distracted by Takeda Nobutora by repairing water conservancy.
Externally, he instigated internal strife among Shinano families to the north, joined forces vertically and horizontally, and almost captured the entire Shinano country. To the south, peace with the Imagawa Hojo family made the southern part of the Takeda family less threatening.
He had to admit that his daughter was better than him, and Nobutora Takeda was getting older and calmer. In fact, he had already solved the knot in his heart.
Since the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto in the battle, the Imagawa family did not respect Takeda Nobutora as much as his mother, which made Takeda Nobutora impatient to continue to stay at the Imagawa family.
This visit was partly to repay the kindness of the Imagawa family for taking him in for so many years, and to persuade Takeda Harunobu to call off the war on behalf of the Imagawa family.
On the other hand, Nobutora Takeda felt it keenly. It would be of no benefit to the Takeda family to fight with the Imagawa-Hojo family like this. They wanted to help Takeda Harunobu build a ladder to step down.
Unexpectedly, she came with good intentions, but she couldn't even meet anyone. Being ridiculed by Takeda Harunobu, a rebellious girl, she just wanted to walk away.
She glanced at Masanobu Kosaka, who was standing nearby, with the corner of her eyes, and then glanced at the screen. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Takeda Harunobu, is this girl like you being held hostage?
The interests of the mother and daughter of the Wu family are entangled, and there are countless people who have an indifferent relationship. The same was true for Takeda Nobutora back then. But after staying away from politics for many years, now I feel more like a licker.
She made up her mind, took a sudden step, held the sword in her hand and used the sword-drawing technique, slicing across the entire screen from the bottom left to the top right.
How could the paper-wood screen withstand such sharp cutting? In an instant, it was cut into two sections, split diagonally in half, and the upper half collapsed.
Kosaka Masanobu on the side did not expect that Takeda Nobutora, as an envoy, would do such a discourteous thing and made an oversight.
At this time, she no longer cared about Takeda Nobutora's identity, drew his sword and shocked her behind, shouting.
"Sir, please put down your weapons! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The Konoe flags outside the door were all close followers of Takeda Harunobu. Several Hime samurai filed in and immediately surrounded Takeda Nobutora.
Takeda Nobutora ignored all of this. She was shocked to see Takeda Harunobu half-lying on the tatami with a pillow on her side, her belly as round and full as a ball.
"You, are you pregnant? When did we get married? Why didn't you notify me?"
Takeda Nobutora ignored the sharp swords and blades around him and looked kindly at Takeda Harunobu's abdomen, unable to calm down.
That was her granddaughter, or grandson.
Takeda Harunobu carefully observed Takeda Nobutora's expression, and she did not expect that her mother would directly cut down the screen.
From her behavior, and reaction to seeing she was pregnant. My mother has been away from the Wu family for many years, and she seems to have less of a murderous spirit and more of a human flavor.
As an envoy, her behavior was unbelievable. But if you look at it as a mother or grandmother, it seems to be excusable.
There was a hint of tenderness in Takeda Haru's confidence, but her face was cold as she spoke.
"Mother, what you are doing is not like what a qualified envoy would do."
Takeda Nobutora sneered.
“Imagawa Yoshimoto himself could not teach his daughter well, and the Imagawa family fell to this point today.
I am just repaying a favor to Yoshimoto Imakawa, and I am not a loyal minister and filial daughter of her Imagawa family. What can the Imagawa family really do to me? "
Takeda Harunobu moved his waist and waved to signal the Hime Warriors to retreat.
Kosaka Masanobu glanced at the sword in Takeda Nobutora's hand, and Takeda Nobutora threw it away.
Then, she took off her ribs and placed them on the tatami. She walked a few steps in front of Takeda Harunobu and stared at her abdomen.
The Hime Warriors bowed and exited the room, while Kosaka Masanobu silently sat behind Takeda Nobutora to monitor. If this old man acts arrogantly again, she will definitely stab her in the back and kill her regardless.
Takeda Nobutora ignored the threat behind him, just looked at Takeda Harunobu's abdomen and asked.
"How many months?"
"Almost nine months."
"So you're about to give birth?"
"good."
"So, you are standing still in Junfu City. You put up that disgusting screen to make me angry, so as not to expose your hidden body, right?"
"good."
Takeda Nobutora spat.
"Rebellious girl!"
Then, her eyes turned gentle and she looked at Takeda Harunobu and said.
"Which family does your husband belong to? I didn't hear any news about your marriage in Suruga Country."
"I do not have a husband."
Takeda Nobutora squinted his eyes and counted the days.
"You got pregnant around the time of the Kawanakajima Battle. How is this possible?
That battle resulted in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even Nobu Fan was involved. . "
Takeda Nobutora stopped talking, and Takeda Harunobu glanced at her. The two were silent for a long time, seeming to miss the passing of Takeda Nobushige.
Takeda Nobutora took a breath and calmed down. Warrior Ji died on the battlefield and was wrapped in horse leather. This was something that all martial artists had been mentally prepared for. There was nothing to be pretentious about.
she said.
"The battle was extremely fierce. How could you have the heart to find a man? Whose child is this?"
Takeda Harunobu said calmly.
"What you said is too rude. I will take care of my affairs myself, so please don't interfere."
Takeda Nobutora was so angry with her that she blurted out.
"Of course I have to take care of it! I'm your mother!"
After saying that, she was stunned.
Takeda Harunobu was also stunned and glanced at his mother, his eyes becoming a little warmer.
Takeda Nobutora put his head aside and said.
"Don't get me wrong, I mean you still want to get married.
If the inheritance rights are unstable due to this child before marriage, and the married Takeda family is dissatisfied, there will always be some trouble for the Takeda family. "
In the world of female lords, the relationship between men and women is indeed more stable than that of male lords in the previous life, and most of them are monogamous.
It would be fine if Takeda Harunobu gave birth to a son. If it were a daughter, it would be easy for her to have inheritance disputes with the children of the marriage partner, causing potential rifts in the marriage alliance.
