Takeda Nobutora squinted his eyes and glanced at the tiger on the screen. His eyes seemed to pass through the screen and see clearly the daughter behind who was even more badass and more powerful than him.
She snorted coldly and said.
"Good, good, such 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 that something was wrong, and Takeda Harunobu seemed to be deliberately irritating her, hoping that she would just walk 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 he was forced to have no choice.
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 had been driven away by Takeda Nobutora by repairing water conservancy projects.
Externally, he went north to instigate internal strife among the Shinano families, joined forces vertically and horizontally, and almost took over the entire Shinano country. To the south, he made peace with the Imagawa Hojo family, eliminating the threat to the southern part of the Takeda family.
I have to admit that my daughter is better than me. Takeda Nobutora is getting older and his mood has calmed down. In fact, he has 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 and continued to stay at the Imagawa family.
This visit was, on the one hand, 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 and call for a truce on behalf of the Imagawa family.
On the other hand, Takeda Nobutora also keenly felt that it would not be beneficial for the Takeda family to fight with the Imagawa-Hojo family like this, and wanted to help Takeda Harunobu build a ladder to step down.
Unexpectedly, she came with good intentions, but she couldn't even meet anyone. She was ridiculed by Takeda Harunobu, a rebellious girl, and she just wanted to walk away.
She glanced at Masanobu Kosaka, who was standing nearby, with the corner of her eyes, and then at the screen. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Takeda Harunobu, you girl was kidnapped, right?
The interests of mother and daughter in the Wu family are entangled, and there are countless people who have an indifferent relationship. Takeda Nobutora was also the same back then. But he has been away from politics for many years, and now he is more of a licker.
She made up her mind, took a sudden step, held the sword in her hand and used the sword-drawing technique, cutting 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 into two halves, and the upper half collapsed suddenly.
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 abdomen round and full like 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's 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.
Judging from her behavior and reaction when she saw that she was pregnant, my mother had left the Wu family and fought for many years. She seemed to have less of a murderous spirit and more of a human flavor.
As an envoy, her behavior is unbelievable. But if she is seen 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 Imagawa Yoshimoto, 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 rib cage and placed it 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. Kosaka Masanobu silently sat behind Nobutora Takeda and monitored him. If this old man acted arrogantly again, she would definitely kill her by stabbing her in the back 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 stood still in Junfu Castle. You installed 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 is your husband a son of? I haven't heard of 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 Battle of Kawanakajima. How is this possible?
That battle resulted in mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and even Nobuhiro..."
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. Samurai Ji died on the battlefield and was wrapped in horse leather. This is something that all samurai have been mentally prepared for. There is 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 don't bother me."
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. He glanced at his mother, and his eyes became a little warmer.
Takeda Nobutora put aside his head and said.
"Don't get me wrong, I mean you still want to get married.
If the inheritance rights are unstable because of 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 deities, the relationship between men and women is indeed more stable than that of male deities 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.
