Also obsessed with seeing the true face of Shiba Yoshigan, Gifu Castle's Noge-kun was forcibly stopped by Tsuchida Gozen, and Otani Castle's Ichi-kun was even more audacious.
She actually sent an envoy in the name of Asai Nagamasa to invite Yoshihiro Shiba to come to Otani Castle.
Asai Nagamasa's anger is self-evident.
Yu Gong, the Shangluo army is gathering towards Zuohe Mountain Castle. As the core figure, Shiba Yiyin has too many things to coordinate.
What does it mean that the mayor actually sent someone to invite him to Otani Castle for the sake of his children's affair? Will Yoshihiro Shiba misjudge the attitude of the Asai family because of this? This is related to the prosperity of the family business!
Privately, Asai Nagamasa subconsciously felt at a loss.
Although she was already married and had a family, Yoshihiro Shiba should know about this. However, Asai Nagamasa didn't want him to see her husband at all, not at all!
Like an ostrich with its head buried in the soil, she only wished that time could stay in the time when she first met Shiba Yiyin three years ago.
At that time, women were unmarried and men were unmarried, so they could freely think about the future.
Even if the mayor wants to smash this little bit of mirror that is deep in his heart, how can Asai Nagamasa not be angry?
Looking at Asai Nagamasa's angry expression, Ichikun felt desolate in his heart. Since the two got married, he has restrained his temper and really wants to be a virtuous husband.
But Asai Nagamasa treated him well on the surface, but deep down there was a hidden sense of alienation.
Ichikun once thought that he was not doing well enough and he kept trying. But it was not until today, when he saw Asai Nagamasa's rage, that he truly realized that nothing he did was of any use.
Because his wife's heart has never been on him. No matter how real she acts, it is still fake!
The city king smiled sadly.
"You've never been angry with me, ever."
Asai Nagamasa took two deep breaths, stabilized his emotions, and said coldly.
"I've never been angry with you. This is no reason for you to act recklessly!"
Ichijun stared into her eyes and said slowly.
"You don't get angry because you don't care about me. If you feel unhappy, you will choose to leave, leaving me alone in the inner courtyard of the boudoir.
And you are angry today not because of me, but because of that man!"
Asai Nagamasa seemed to have been exposed, so he looked away and said with a guilty conscience.
"Nonsense!"
The city king suddenly exploded, even more angry than Asai Nagamasa.
His temperament was originally like that of Oda Nobunaga. He had been lying on the ground for the past two years and had long been unable to bear it. But today, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Look at me! Asai Nagamasa! Look at me! I am your husband, and I am the one who promises to stay with you for the rest of your life!
Why don't you dare to look at me? Have I never had the slightest place in your heart?
In your eyes and in your heart, there is only him! Only him!"
Ichikun stood up, crossed the tea table, straightened Asai Nagamasa's head with both hands, faced his own eyes, shouted and cried hysterically.
"Tell me, what did I do wrong? Tell me! I can change it!"
Seeing the mayor losing control of his emotions and bursting into tears, Asai Nagamasa felt a throb in his heart.
Ichijun is very good, whether it is his appearance, family background, or his true love for himself, he is extremely good. But in matters of love, there is no reward for what you put in.
Asai Nagamasa didn't want to forget that young man. She also tried hard to get along with the mayor, Qin Se, and they would help each other.
But she failed, she couldn't do it.
Asai Nagamasa will never forget the boy who pulled her out of the abyss when she was in hardship.
No one knows how helpless and helpless she was before the Norada battle.
She was bent on fighting, and if she failed, the entire Asai family would be ruined by her. This heavy and breathless pressure made her feel suffocated and almost collapsed.
It was that boy who came with the cavalry, and when she was at her most desperate, he defeated Rokkaku Yoshiken's main formation and gave her new life.
The thing Asai Nagamasa regrets most in his life is that he did not express his feelings at the beginning. This hesitation caused the two of them to drift apart, and they never had the chance to hold hands together for the rest of their lives.
She once thought that the story between the two of them had just begun, but she didn't expect that it had already come to an end.
If time could go back again, Asai Nagamasa would definitely express his feelings for Yoshihiro Shiba. But the past cannot be repeated, and looking at each other has become a memory.
Every time she saw Ichikun, she would think of Yoshihiro Shiba, and subconsciously asked herself, if she had confessed her love back then, would her husband at this time be Yoshihiro Shiba?
Whenever she thinks this way, her mood becomes very bad. How can she respond to Ichijun's true feelings?
But people are not plants and trees, so how can they be ruthless?
She saw the kindness of the city king to her and kept it in her heart, but she had regrets in her heart that she could not be a good wife.
Today, Shi Jun screamed excitedly in front of her, which made her even more confused. She stared at Shi Jun in silence.
Ichijun bit his lower lip, stared at his beloved wife, and gritted his teeth.
"Tell me, why don't you speak?"
Asai Nagamasa looked at his emotionally broken husband, took off his hands that were on his cheeks, squeezed them tightly, then slowly released them, and said with a sincere expression.
"I'm sorry, please give me a little more time, okay?"
The mayor just looked at her but said nothing.
Asai Nagamasa had a complicated expression and said sadly.
"I know it's my fault, it's my fault. But please give me a little more time. I will become a good wife, I promise."
Ichijun's expression gradually softened, he lowered his head and wiped his tears, and said softly.
"Let's just trust you again..."
Suddenly, he suddenly covered his face, stepped back, and complained.
"It's really ugly. I have to clean it up."
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Asai Nagamasa.
"Mr. City, no matter what thoughts you have in your heart, you cannot affect military and state affairs.
Yu Taishu... He did nothing wrong. It was all my wishful thinking and selfishness.
Your behavior this time is very dangerous. Once this action leads to a misjudgment by the imperial office, what will the retainers think?
If this delays the important things in Shangluo, your sister will not forgive you easily."
Ichikun covered his expression with the sleeves of his kimono and spoke forcefully.
"I take responsibility for what I do myself."
Asai Nagamasa sighed.
"You would do this because I was wrong in the first place. You and I are one and the same, so how can I sit back and ignore it?
I will take care of the invitation to Otaisuo to Xiaodani City this time, so you don’t have to worry."
"you.."
Ichikun put down the sleeves that blocked his sight and looked at Asai Nagamasa with a gentle face, not knowing what to say.
Asai Nagamasa touched her hair and smiled.
"You should rest first, I'll go out and arrange things."
After saying that, he sighed, stood up and left the tea room. Ichijun stared blankly at her leaving figure, speechless.
The fierce conflict between the two not only did not hurt the couple's relationship, but instead deepened their mutual bond, which was unexpected.
The mayor was silent for a while, muttering to himself.
"Did I...really do something wrong?"
———
Asai Nagamasa walked out of the inner courtyard and came to a side room of the castle tower. There was already a Hime warrior waiting for her inside, it was Akao Kiyozuna.
The Akao family is a relative of the Asai family, and Akao Kiyosuna is the chief patriarch, with a high status.
Seeing Asai Nagamasa come in, she took the initiative to bow and salute, and Asai Nagamasa returned a half salute before sitting down.
Meeting Akao Kiyosuna's gaze, Asai Nagamasa sighed. She didn't want to hide anything from this important member of her family, so she said.
To be continued...
