一路 下

Rate this book
翻越暴風雪中的和田嶺、主公驟病,難關一波接著一波襲來,
顛覆主家的陰謀又緊隨在後,無法如期的危機節節逼近,
一行人能否突破重重難關,成功抵達江戶?


走在最前頭的,是頭戴垂金頭盔、身披猩紅戰袍的華麗武士。緊接著,一對壯碩威武的家奴各以左右手高舉丈餘朱槍,高喊:「迴避!」主公轎子及護衛人員通過後,接著是大小箱櫃、武器,整齊劃一地疾行而過。這支隊伍任誰看來都不是區區七千五百石的小小旗本,而是趕赴戰場的戰國軍隊!

參謁江戶的中山道之旅,按幕府規定須在十二天內走完,即便一行人有驚無險地跨越重重險阻來到旅途的一半,身為參勤隊伍的總指揮、擔任供頭的一路仍絲毫不敢大意鬆懈。前方的和田嶺正籠罩在一片暴風雪中,就算熟悉天候狀況的當地官員大力諫阻、那怕賭上自己的性命,今天說什麼都得橫越!因為,參勤就是行軍。
  
然而,面對眼前鬼怪般呼嘯的暴風雪,田名部八十名英勇武士卻一個接一個不支倒地,凍成一尊尊石像。這真的是強越與川崩地、視木曾棧道為無物的那支宛若戰國再世的征戰軍隊嗎?難不成要在這裡死絕了?
  
十二月的中山道,跨越艱難,又遇險阻,出乎意料的難關一波接著一波,讓一路防備不及。對抗惡劣天候之餘,還得留心傾覆主家的陰謀,隊伍中的每位成員都很可疑,他們究竟是敵是友?而且棘手的還不只這樁,與高位的大名狹路相逢時,該不該讓行?就在最關鍵的時刻,主公竟臥病不起!參府期限迫在眉睫,一行人究竟能不能突破重重難關,成功抵達江戶?

Jirō Asada (浅田 次郎, born December 13, 1951 in Tokyo) is the pen name of Kōjirō Iwato (岩戸 康次郎), a Japanese writer.

Inspired by Yukio Mishima, who tried to stage a coup d'état among Japan Self-Defense Forces then committed suicide after the coup was failed, Asada enlisted in the SDF after finishing his studies. He changed jobs many times while endeavoring to find writing opportunities, submitting his works to literary competitions.

In 1991, his novel Torarete tamaruka! (とられてたまるか!) started his literary career. After writing several picaresque novels, his novel Metro ni notte (地下鉄に乗って) was awarded the Eiji Yoshikawa Prize for New Writers and made into a 2006 film; a short story collection The Stationmaster and other stories (Poppoya (鉄道員)) was also awarded the Naoki Prize.

He writes not only standard fiction and picaresque novels, but also writes historical and Chinese historical novels such as The Firmament of the Pleiades (Sōkyū no subaru, 蒼穹の昴).

以前看的日本時代小說都是有點悲情的
尤其藤澤周平,故事都有點抑鬱
第一次看這麼歡樂的時代小說好不習慣~
雖然感覺重臣謀反好像是日本時代小說的固定套路
但就連反派也很歡樂,不像之前看的反派那麼陰險
覺得主角有點命好,一路上心想事成
事事順利過頭

話雖這麼說但還是滿好看的
還可以在劇情推進中順便學到很多幕末的武士風貌
(雖然不曉得有多符合史實就是了)
