I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 381

※※※

"!!"

Suddenly, Li Yan felt an inexplicable chill, which made him shiver involuntarily. For a moment, he raised his head and looked at the still gray sky.

"What's wrong with you?" Rachel Miyamoto on the side was attracted by his strange behavior and asked curiously.

"No...it's nothing. I feel like I'm a little nervous." Li Yan was silent for a while, and after making sure that there was no strange figure in the sky, he said to Rachel Miyamoto.

Such a premonition was really like an electric shock. It gave him a false alarm and made him come back to his senses from the idea of ​​​​his novel.

It is now 7:45, which is also the moment when the sky is just getting light. In a dense forest, Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto's trip is still continuing. They were well captured by the powerful man last night. The daimyo treated the guests to dinner and after taking a shower, they finally said goodbye to the days of cold sushi and plain water. Both of them were full of energy.

After all, Li Yan allowed their group to rest for a while, but they could not stay for too long, so as Takeda Shingen watched him off, he left the opponent's castle early and set off for Echigo Kingdom.

It should be said that this is really a wonderful encounter.

He has long known that Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin were almost mortal enemies who occupied the first half of Japan's Warring States Period, and Takeda Shingen's appearance and personality are exactly the same as Sawamura Sayuri. It's not clear whether this is fate or a joke from the gods...

Especially when escorting the injured Takeda Shingen and others back, Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto also saw the Takeda family deploying a large number of troops on the grassland near the lakeside on the outskirts of the forest, always ready to attack Ken Uesugi. letter.

As mentioned in history, the military flag of the Takeda family is mainly black, and it rustles in the strong wind. On the flag, it is clearly written "It is as fast as the wind, it is as slow as the forest, it invades like fire, and it is as motionless as the mountain". This This sentence is exactly a description of tactics taken from "Sun Tzu's Art of War: Military Struggle".

The main tone of black...

There is also Takeda Shingen's resourcefulness, aggressive personality, calm and military-style daimyo who knows how to appreciate his opponents and subordinates...

It somewhat matched the Sayuri Sawamura he knew.

Especially, when he and Takeda Shingen returned to the front of the military camp, under the rustling black military flag, facing the strong wind, his long black hair flowing freely under the endless Takeda military flag, this man The face of such a familiar girl quietly looked at the majestic military power of her camp, but she didn't care at all about the blood seeping out of the bandage on her arm after it was simply bandaged.

Takeda Shingen (Sayuri Sawamura), who is so confident, full of ambition and aggression, riding a tall war horse and wearing red armor, is so beautiful and demure.

Li Yan recalled the time when he was invited by Sayuri to wear Tachibana Somoge's armor. As a result...it turned out that it seemed quite suitable for Sayuri Sawamura to wear the armor.

But Li Yan never thought that in this mirror-like world, amidst the dislocation of time and space, she was currently the young leader of Takeda, Takeda Shingen, known as the "Tiger of Kai".

That cross spear pierced like a whirlwind and was destined to be evil. If he hadn't seen her fighting experience before, he would have simply put her into Sayuri Sawamura's feelings.

For some reason, Li Yan always felt a little inexplicably complicated even after meeting Sayuri Sawamura, a peer from another world.

In the end, Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto were left in a castle near the border to rest for a day because of their kindness in rescuing Takeda Shingen.

Last night, after enjoying a delicious dinner and taking a good soak in the warm and clean hot spring water, Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto were also invited to the city lord's meeting hall for a conversation.

As a result, Takeda Shingen appeared on the stage and immediately stunned Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto.

The orange kimono and the beautiful long black hair were as consistent with the kimono as ever. At that time, even Rachel Miyamoto had to praise Takeda Shingen's beauty in a low voice.

As a result, in such a small banquet, Takeda Shingen, who was sitting in the seat of the city lord and had been entertaining them very warmly and politely, finally asked: [Ms. Miyamoto, Uesugi-kun, although this question is a bit abrupt, you two have already Holding an official position in the famous Western power Great Britain, you should have a good life, but why did you come all the way back to Fuso this time? Is it because of some important official business? 】

Next to Li Yan, Rachel Miyamoto, as an auxiliary officer, replied in a rather cryptic manner: [We followed the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess to go to Daimyo Uesugi Kenshin...]

However, before he finished speaking, Li Yan quickly interrupted Rachel Miyamoto’s words.

[We came to Fuso Country in search of a precious medicinal material for the eldest princess. I heard that the Uesugi Daimyo had a copy of [Cloud Fire Ganoderma], which was priceless. The eldest princess had a close friend who was tortured by the ice dragon's poison, so he specially asked us to Come and interfere with that daimyo. 】

Li Yan explained calmly.

"..."

Rachel Miyamoto, who was sitting aside, looked surprised. She didn't understand why Li Yan would directly reveal the contents that the eldest princess had declared confidential to this famous person.

Of course, Li Yan did not dare to let Rachel Miyamoto speak too cryptically. Although along the way, he did not hear that there were messages circulating in Fuso that the Takeda family and the Uesugi family were preparing for war, but no matter how you look at it now, the names of both sides are likely to A war will begin in the near future.

The first important thing is that Li Yan considers to dispel Takeda Shingen's suspicion, otherwise he and Rachel Miyamoto will cause some unnecessary dangers and misunderstandings because of their strange positions.

[Uesugi-kun is really a careful person. Yes, the military camp I have recently been investigating and setting up is to launch a new round of war against Uesugi Kenshin and completely conquer the Fuso Kanto area. I am basically ready for war at any time. Prepare to go to war with the Lord of Echigo Kingdom. 】

Takeda Shingen admitted Li Yan's idea with a cheerful smile and said.

Rachel Miyamoto was stunned when she heard the words that started the war.

She has been enjoying peace in the relatively peaceful Kingdom of Lotik for more than ten years. It is reasonable to station troops on the border. It is obviously a peaceful territory on both sides and the people living here live in peace. Why do they suddenly say that a war will begin? Start a war...

In her heart, she felt a little sad.

However, she changed the topic and said: [However, I am not as suspicious as you imagined. Since you saved me, my life was given by you, so why should I doubt your position. 】

At that time, Li Yan was speechless.

[I have heard about the "Cloud Fire Ganoderma" information from some of my subordinates. Uesugi Kenshin accidentally obtained such a priceless spiritual grass, but no one here knows what this spiritual grass contains. Such a function... But there is no need to worry, the spiritual grass should still be in Uesugi Kenshin's hands. After all, in such a tense period, the generals of both sides must be present, so it should still not be donated. 】

Takeda Shingen further explained the information she knew about "Cloud Fire Ganoderma" and tried her best to assist Li Yan and Rachel Miyamoto.

【Thank you. 】

When Li Yan heard this, he was slightly startled and felt relieved. It seemed that they arrived in time, so he thanked them.

[Uesugi-kun, why do you have to say thank you? By the way, if you two go to Uesugi Kenshin's place, your safety should be guaranteed. Echigo-no-ryu is a reasonable and open-minded daimyo. He is not only wise and courageous, but also good for the people. Suffering often comes with care. If you explain the usefulness of this medicine well and insist on showing it to her sincerely, she should be able to succeed. 】

Takeda Shingen seemed to admire Uesugi Kenshin very much and said to them.

Rachel Miyamoto looked at Takeda Shingen with some confusion, which caught Takeda Shingen's attention.

[Do you have any questions, Miss Miyamoto? ] Takeda Shingen asked curiously.

[No... Well, this is a very rude question, Lord Takeda, since you admire the Uesugi Daimyo so much, why... why do you want to launch a war against the Uesugi Daimyo? 】

Rachel Miyamoto asked in confusion.

【……】

Li Yan could see that Takeda Shingen had never been asked this way.

It seems that in troubled times, it has always been a common thing to fight for land, unify regions, and expand power.

However, Takeda Shingen gave a different explanation.

[Perhaps Miss Miyamoto is staying overseas and does not understand Fuso's situation. In today's era, there is no so-called safety. The world is divided. Either you die or I die. I am the head of the Takeda family, the daimyo of this land, and of course I also have the desire to end the troubled times and unify the world. 】

Takeda Shingen lowered her head and expressed her understanding with a smile.

[War is not the product of mutual stagnation and peace can be achieved... What's more, God's will is that sooner or later, Kenshin and I will have to decide who is better or worse, whether it is now or in the future, in such a great opportunity in troubled times, we are destined to have a showdown. Win or lose. 】

However, soon, she raised her head and looked at the two of them, looking at them with a pair of eyes full of ambition, and said calmly.
