Just when Kenma and Yoruichi were enjoying their time together, they were suddenly disturbed by a message from a servant at home.
"Grandfather They are coming, why did they choose this time?"
Faced with Kenma's question, the maid explained, "Mr. Shimazu said that he learned that Lord Kenma was off today, so he came to visit Lord Kenma."
"Mr. Shimazu and the others also said that they miss Mr. Tōichirō very much--"
Kenma Clearly.
He looked at the time, waved his hand and said, "You go and put them in place first. I'll be there in half an hour - no, in an hour, and bring Tōichirō with me."
"Understood."
After the maid left, Kenma returned to the room.
Yoruichi was leaning against the low table, eating snacks. When he saw Kenma coming back, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Looking at Yoruichi with a lazy look on his face, Kenma took off his clothes neatly.
After repeating what the maid just said, Kenma picked up Yoruichi and said, "Time is running out, let's move quickly, by the way, Yoruichi, do you want to go and meet her."
1
"Okay."
After it was finished, Kenma got dressed and called a group of maids to help Yoruichi put on the troublesome and heavy clothes.
After everything was ready, Walter was carrying Tōichirō over.
When Kenma took his wife over, he heard wanton laughter coming from the house, mixed with the noise of some punches and kicks.
Yoruichi held the child in his arms and listened to the messy sounds in the room, with a smile on his lips.
"Kenma, you three elders are still so energetic."
"Alas."
Kenma looked helpless, said nothing, and suddenly opened the door.
Wow!
The wooden door opened, and the three Shimazu Toyohisa were seen inside, fighting as usual.
"Hey, Nobunaga, let me go quickly, Kenma is here."
"Toyohisa, let go first."
"Toyohisa, Nobunaga, I'll send the signal, and let's go together!"
When they saw the door open, Kenma walked in with Yoruichi and the child, the three of them quickly released their grip on each other's hands and feet.
Shimazu Toyohisa's eyes were blue, Nobunaga was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Yoichi looked fine, except that his hair was scattered and there was a big footprint on his chest.
The three of them seemed to realize that their image was not very good, so they quickly sorted it out.
Kenma sighed, "Grandfather, Nobunaga, Yoichi, why do you three like fighting so much? Can't you get along peacefully?"
Shimazu Toyohisa tilted his head, and a question mark appeared above his head, "Even if you ask why - we people usually get along, and there is no other way except fighting."
"It should be said that it has been a custom developed since childhood. If you have any dissatisfaction, just have a fight. Venting out your inner grievances can actually make the relationship better." Nobunaga pinched his chin.
Yoichi nodded in agreement. "That's right, that's right."
Hearing this, Kenma couldn't help but turn his head and look at Tōichirō in Yoruichi's arms.
"Listening to what you said, I don't dare to let you teach Tōichirō. Stop teaching your children bad things.
1
Tōichirō was lying in the arms of Yoruichi, already awake.
When he saw Kenma, he looked over and made a babbling sound from his mouth. He stretched out his fat little hands and grabbed Kenma.
"Tōichirō It's better to be more lively in the future than to have a dull temper like yours."
Yoruichi smiled, picked up Tōichirō, and handed it to Kenma.
Kenma took it and saw Tōichirō climbing up with his legs and reaching out his little hand to grab his beard.
"You don't want me to hug you, but you want to touch my beard?"
Kenma lowered his head slightly and let the child's little hands hold his beard.
A pure smile suddenly appeared on that cute little face.
The three Nobunaga also came over and gathered around Kenma. Looking at the child's smile, their expressions softened.
"Tōichirō, I am Grandfather."
Shimazu Toyohisa stretched out his fingers and gently touched the child's face.
"When Tōichirō grows up, would you like Grandfather to teach you the family swordsmanship? Come on, call me Grandfather."
Nobunaga on the side was flipping through Byakugan and said, "Idiot Toyohisa, how can such a young child know how to speak?"
Yoichi looked strange. "Speaking of which, this child has been born for such a long time. Logically speaking, it would not be surprising even if it could walk away. Why does it still look like a newborn baby?"
Kenma said calmly, "Perhaps this child is highly talented. Generally speaking, children with high talents will grow slower."
Yoruichi raised the corners of his mouth, showing a proud smile.
"Tōichirō's talent is definitely very good. When I was young, Tōichirō didn't grow up so slowly. When Tōichirō grows up, he will definitely become a big shot in his own right."
After hearing the explanations from Kenma, Yoichi looked at Tōichirō, his eyes shining.
"It turns out that this kid will be so powerful in the future."
Shimazu Toyohisa said indifferently, "There is no need to become so strong. As long as you can grow up healthily, be disease-free and happy throughout your life, that is better than anything else."
"That's right." Nobunaga also nodded, "As long as Tōichirō doesn't become as naughty, willful, arrogant, and vicious as his father when he grows up!"
"Really, I don't know what era he was raised in. He obviously has a clear view of good and evil, but he is so cruel and ruthless. When he did it, he was obviously very guilty, but he didn't show any ambiguity. He is simply a freak. We old bones can't bear the second time."
Kenma complained, "Nobunaga, what you said is too much. How can I be so unbearable?"
Yoruichi was about to nod in agreement with Kenma, but suddenly paused.
"Hmm?
Who?
Kenma?
She said that her husband acted ruthlessly, but she somewhat agreed.
But to be said to be stubborn, willful, and arrogant, after being together with Kenma for so many years, she really didn't notice it.
Yoruichi looked at the three Nobunaga with some surprise, but saw that the three of them agreed on their faces.
Her eyes fell on her husband, and she asked curiously, "Stubborn and willful? Are you talking about you?"
"Do you think I am such a person?"
Kenma asked a question.
Yoruichi thought and shook his head.
Yoichi asked, "Isn't it?"
After looking at Kenma, he complained to the surprised Yoruichi: "Don't look at Kenma's calm look now. Remember, when we first met him, this kid was called a [cruel and cold-blooded man-eating evil ghost] and was feared by others. He has a vicious reputation, which can stop children from crying at night."
"He was crying, making noises, being crazy and laughing, but he still held grudges, was determined to retaliate, and put on an arrogant face that looked down on others. He was simply a troubled young man. It took a lot of effort for us to get him to settle down."
Yoichi wanted to continue talking, but Kenma's eyes sank and he looked over. "Okay, Yoichi, what you said is too outrageous."
Nobunaga also said quickly, "There is no need to mention the past, Yoichi, just shut up."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
Yoichi noticed Kenma's reluctance and quickly stopped talking.
However, Kenma's obstruction aroused curiosity in Ye Isshin.
After being married to Kenma for so long, she has never encountered Kenma in a situation like what she just said.
Crying and fussing, going crazy and laughing?
Will such a situation happen to Kenma?
She had never thought that her boring gourd-like husband would be so rich, let alone talk about it.
And that appalling and terrifying nickname, it's just not too cool!
She heard someone mention that Captain-General Yamamoto was called the [Sword Ghost] a long time ago!
There is also a very powerful guy who is known as [Soul Society The Unprecedented Evil]!
Yoruichi I didn't expect that my husband actually had a similar handsome title!
She immediately became very interested.
"Tell me more, I'm very curious!"
"Yoruichi, curiosity killed the cat, and there's nothing good to say about this kind of thing.
Kenma glance.
But I heard Nobunaga laugh twice strangely.
"Jie Jie, it was really tricky at the time. We spent a lot of effort to get this guy right. Looking back now, it was a disaster."
Shimazu Toyohisa nodded aside. "Yes, when I met Kenma at the mill, Kenma was crying there while tearing apart bones and eating rice and meat. Now that I think about it - he is really a rash person."
Before he could finish his words, Kenma was so excited that he stretched out his hand and blocked his mouth.
"Grandfather, if you can't speak, don't speak!"
"Toyohisa You idiot!"
Nobunaga's eyes twitched, he turned his head and punched Shimazu Toyohisa, causing Toyohisa to kneel on the ground.
"Idiot! Just complain a few words, why bring this up! You have been dead for so long, you really should learn to read the air and figure out what you can and cannot say!"
Yoichi seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale.
Seeing such big reactions from several people, Yoruichi became even more confused.
She looked curious and looked at Kenma with inquiring eyes, "Rice meat? What kind of meat is that? Is it delicious?"
"Yoruichi, for your own good, it's best not to know." Kenma said in a deep voice.
Looking at Kenma's face that turned gloomy, Yoruichi was curious in his heart.
But she knew that if she continued to ask, she would really make Kenma angry.
After all, she rarely saw Kenma show such big mood swings.
After a few seconds of silence, she nodded slightly.
"I understand."
From now on, let's find an opportunity to get to know each other in secret.
Perhaps because of the topic just mentioned, everyone was silent for a while.
The silent silence suddenly made the atmosphere in the room become somewhat depressing.
Nobunaga suddenly laughed, and his laughter broke the silence.
"By the way, this child Tōichirō will definitely be even better than Kenma when he grows up."
As he spoke, he looked at Tōichirō and stretched out his fingers to tease.
Tōichirō's little hand grasped Nobunaga's finger, and he kept smiling on his face.
Shimazu Toyohisa also stretched out his hand, showing a forced smile.
"Tōichirō Hey, when you grow up, don't imitate people like us. Don't be evil people. You must be good people. You can be selfish, but you must also remember to always reflect on yourself."
"Selfish--"
Yoruichi looked at Kenma who was holding the child, his eyes flickering.
Having been with Kenma for so long, she has only seen Kenma Isshin behave as a public servant, but she has never seen him reveal too many selfish desires.
Even if there are selfish motives, most of them are for the Shikokuin Family.
He rarely cares about his own gains and losses.
Yoruichi's low murmur was heard by Yoichi on the side.
He shivered.
"Ahem, what Toyohisa said was a selfish theory put forward by Fifth Lun in the early days of the Later Han Dynasty. These words actually showed his selflessness."
"Fifth Lun? What a strange name."
Yoruichi looked curious.
"Is it the surname No. 1 or the surname No. 5?"
"Of course fifth."
Hearing this, Yoruichi looked strange. "It is indeed a very strange surname."
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Yoichi raised his finger and waved it.
Then he closed his eyes and started talking volubly.
"At first Han Gao ruled the world and forced Qi Kingdom Tian Heng to be killed. Then he moved the Tian family into Guanzhong and changed their surnames to the first to ninth. Until Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and Guangwu Zhongxing, Fifth Lun was appreciated by Emperor Guangwu and promoted to Sikong, where he became a highly respected minister."
Hearing the familiar name, Kenma was pulled away from the previous emotions.
He cheered up and nodded while listening to Yoichi's words.
But after hearing the end, Kenma couldn't help but frown.
"Yoichi, isn't this right?"
"What's wrong?"
"I remember that Fifth Lun also fought with Liu Xiu, and it seemed that he won in the end."
"Ah?"
Nobunaga suddenly turned his head, his face full of surprise.
"Fighting against Emperor Guangwu for the world? And defeating Emperor Guangwu who had 7,000 to 400,000? Kenma, are you sure you're not talking nonsense?
"No."
Kenma stroked his beard and looked at Nobunaga with a look of affirmation.
"That's Fifth Lun from the turn of the New Han Dynasty, and he seems to be a disciple of Yang Xiong."
"Yang Xiong Yang Ziyun?
"Yes."
"Wait a minute, this is obviously wrong!"
At this time, Shimazu Toyohisa also intervened.
"Kenma, you must have remembered it wrong, Yang Ziyun has never recognized Fifth Lun as his disciple!"
Yoruichi, who was next to Kenma, listened to the conversation of the four people, his eyes rolling around.
She had no idea what she was talking about.
At this moment, she looked at Kenma's side face, as if there was a thick barrier between the two of them.
"Eh~"
Yoruichi quickly shook his head to get rid of those distracting thoughts, raised his hands high, and asked in a hesitant tone, "Who is that----Yang Xiong?"
"Huh?"
Kenma The four of them turned their heads to look.
That look was like looking at an illiterate person.
Yoruichi felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help scratching his red cheeks.
"What's wrong, I really don't know."
Kenma suddenly realized that Yoruichi was a native of Soul Society, so it was normal not to know.
He elbowed Yoichi, Yoichi hurriedly explained, "The Confucian master known as Confucius of the West, a poet comparable to Sima Xiangru, once wrote famous works throughout the ages<Rhapsody on Sweet Springs><Rhapsody on Changyang>, and also made classics such as <Against the Li Sao><Exemplary Sayings><Supreme Mystery>."
"It's a pity that I don't have Yoriichi to watch these classics--"
Yoruichi tilted his head and looked confused.
Still didn't understand what was being said at all.
Seeing that she still didn't understand, Kenma continued, "Li Bai's poem: Who can write to Your Excellency, Baishou <Supreme Mystery>, the <Supreme Mystery> in it is Yang Xiong's <Supreme Mystery>."
Yoruichi blinked, his eyes were clear.
But she also realized that Kenma seemed to have said a poem.
So, do you want to praise yourself?
But how can I praise her? She knows absolutely nothing about this aspect.
"Have you heard of Nanyang Zhuge Lu and Xishu Ziyunting? The Ziyunting among them is Yang Xiong Yang Ziyun--"
Seeing Yoruichi's expression becoming more and more confused, Kenma's voice paused and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh--"
Turning to look at Yoichi, he was speechless.
"Yoichi, next time you are looking for a topic, remember to find something more ordinary, not something so cold."
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault."
Yoichi Put your hands together and apologize again and again.
When they lived together in Rukongai before, the few of them spent their free time chatting like this except fighting.
From history to politics, from poetry to military affairs, we can talk freely all the way.
He himself had followed Minamoto no Yoshitsune and had certain cultural attainments.
Nobunaga is a famous name in this place, so it goes without saying.
Toyohisa is also the nephew of a famous person, so he has naturally learned these things systematically.
Even Kenma, who was later in his generation, was a good student before his death.
Although he didn't know what three good students meant, he thought it was a word of praise.
Unexpectedly, when Seireitei arrived at Great Noble's home, Great Noble knew nothing about it.
"By the way, I remembered."
At this time, Kenma suddenly widened his eyes.
He clenched his fist and tapped his palm, and his tight brows relaxed.
"Fifth Lun is a disciple of Yang Xiong. I read this from a very good novel."
"After so many years, it is inevitable that I have confused some things in my memory!"
"Kenma----I knew it would be like this."
Nobunaga was speechless. "I'm really fed up. I don't know which era can cultivate people like you. Although the knowledge is so extensive, you are not proficient in everything and only know a superficial knowledge of everything."
Kenma spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "I couldn't help it, I was just a fool back then."
It was rare that Nobunaga and the three of them were noisy together. Kenma didn't stop talking more and more excitedly until the sun was about to go down.
Yoruichi retreated on the way because he really couldn't talk.
Give the room to Kenma four old men.
Seeing that it was getting late, Kenma wanted to keep Nobunaga and the others at home for the night, but Nobunaga and the others decisively refused.
At the door of the Shikokuin Family, Nobunaga patted Kenma on the shoulder.
"Kenma, none of us are idiots and we know what's going on recently."
"The action is about to begin, right?"
"After today, whether the result is victory or defeat, it is probably difficult to be as happy as today."
"The three of us took advantage of our last free time to come over to you. In addition to telling you that everything is ready, we also wanted to catch up with you and talk about old times. That's all."
After that, Nobunaga walked towards the distance under the afterglow of the setting sun.
After Nobunaga, Shimazu Toyohisa pointed at the beard on Kenma's face, showing a hint of displeasure.
"Kenma, I know you grew a beard after having Tōichirō, but you don't look good like this at all, you look older."
"Yeah, older than me."
After Shimazu Toyohisa finished speaking, without waiting for Kenma to reply, he quickly caught up with Nobunaga in front of him.
Yoichi followed, turning around and waving to Kenma while running.
"Don't listen to Toyohisa, I think you look very handsome like this!"
"If you grow your beard longer, you might even get the title of "Beautiful Beard Man"."
Watching the three people leaving and their backs finally disappearing, Kenma's eyes became firmer.
"Right now, just wait a few days."
He turned around and entered the house, and a light sound broke through the air.
An afterimage flashed by, and Shisui appeared beside him.
"Sir, I was just informed that Toji Fushiguro is back."
"Let him come over."
Kenma kept walking, lowered his voice, and then said, "Notify Aizen so that he doesn't have to wait and act immediately."
"One captain, one Lieutenant, plus several Seated Officers are enough to pull off the big show tonight!"
"As commanded."
Shisui solemnly agreed, and left the place in a flash.
