Hosokawa Fujitaka kept riding and changing trains back and forth, and rushed back to Kyoto on the night of the third day.
As soon as he entered the capital, he went straight to the Mibuchi Mansion and pulled up his biological mother Mibuchi Haru who had just fallen asleep.
"Mom, something big happened!"
"What's the matter? You didn't accompany Yoshiyin to Omi, why did you come back suddenly?"
"It's too late, mother. Hurry up and call Lord Wada Weimasa, and let's go to the Imperial Palace to see Lord Gongfang! Something big has happened!"
Hosokawa Fujitaka thought things through while running on the road.
This time the Rokkaku family ambushed Shiba Yigen, and the shogunate may not be willing to come forward to attack the Rokkaku family. If you want to help your fiancé who is causing trouble, you have to take some harsh medicine.
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is known as Qianqing Gongfang. He has practiced swordplay since he was a child and has a tenacious temperament that would rather break than give in.
Although after becoming a general, he tolerated a lot in consideration of the overall situation, but the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.
Whether this Shiba Yoshigan borrows troops from the Asai family without authorization to attack dissidents, or whether he is helping the shogunate to attack the Rokkaku family, it all depends on whether Ashikaga Yoshiteru's temperament is strong enough.
Haru Mibuchi is not as thoughtful as his second daughter. I just saw that her beauty had faded, she was haggard, and the exhaustion from the long journey back was beyond words.
I knew in my heart that it was not good, but I didn’t hesitate. He took Hosokawa Fujitaka to Wada's mansion, and took Wada Weimasa together to meet the general.
At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was doing evening kendo classes and meditating in the sword room.
Hearing that the three women asked for a meeting, they were also puzzled. She knew that Hosokawa Fujitaka was called by Mibuchi Haru to accompany Shiba Yoshigan on his mission to Rokkaku. Why did he come back at this time?
Since he was asking for a meeting in the middle of the night, something must have gone wrong. He didn't bother to change his clothes and go to the meeting hall, and directly asked someone to bring him to the sword room.
The three women followed the servant into the sword room. On both sides were the famous swords collected by the general.
Ashikaga Yoshiki was sitting in the center of the room, wearing a white kimono, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a sheathed famous sword across his knees, meditating.
"Fuji Takahime, why are you back? What happened?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't waste any time and asked directly about the reason.
Hosokawa Fujitaka knelt down and bowed, then raised his head to answer.
"Kongkata-sama, the Rokkaku family attacked Lord Shiba Yoshigan sent by the shogunate."
"What!"
Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Mibuchi Haru, and Wada Weimasa shouted at the same time. This thing is too unbelievable, the Rokkaku family must be crazy. The two ministers forgot their dignity for a moment and shouted out loudly.
"It was the Rokkaku loyal dog Mekada family who took action. In the valley near Mekada Castle, they attacked from both front and back with no intention of leaving anyone alive."
Hosokawa Fujitaka did not give the general a chance to spread his thoughts, and directly killed the Rokkaku family's ambush method, making the Rokkaku family's viciousness clear.
Ashikaga Yoshiki's face turned blue. Although he was shocked by Rokkaku Yoshiken's cruelty, he could still imagine the reason why he took action. This was because he was dissatisfied with the shogunate's perfunctory behavior and wanted to use Yoshigami's life to find a better excuse to send troops to Kitohimi.
The shogunate was currently wary of the Miyoshi family's movements and did not want to nor could do anything to the Rokkaku family. Even if the envoy died and the Rokkaku family accused the Asai family of attacking the shogunate, the shogunate could only endure it.
Now the Ashikaga family needs the support of the Rokkaku family, not the Rokkaku family begging the Ashikaga shogunate. Rokkaku Yoshiken's slap completely swollen Ashikaga Yoshiki.
Ashikaga Yoshiki asked, clenching his teeth tightly and holding the scabbard in his hand.
"How is Naspo Yiyin doing now?"
"Shiba's bravery is not as good as that of Tomoe's predecessor. He killed the Mokatian family's ambush troops and beheaded the fifth level of bravery, which is unstoppable!"
Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't say it directly, but first boasted about the bravery of Uprising Silver.
Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at her in astonishment, and his attention was indeed diverted by Hosokawa.
"Is this Sibo Yiyin really so powerful?"
Mibuchi Haruyu and Wada Weimasa were also surprised. They had talked with the general about Shiba Yiyin before, but at that time they all thought that Shiba Yiyin's words were just bragging.
How capable a man can be is just to make a living in Owari under the shadow of the Shiba family. She looks pitiful and wants to keep her in Beijing to take care of her.
Now, listening to Hosokawa Fujitaka, is it another Tomoe Gozen? The fifth level of decapitation is not considered a trivial level of decapitation in the war between the Wu family, but it means killing five Ji warriors? So fierce?
Hosokawa Fujitaka also found a coincidence. Wild samurai are also samurai, and even if they are revealed one day, it will not be considered as deceiving the general.
She must boast about Yiyin's bravery, otherwise it will be difficult to talk about what follows.
"After defeating the ambush, Lord Shiba found a boat along the coast and went to the north shore of Lake Biwa."
"North Shore? What does he want to do?"
Ashikaga Yoshiki couldn't help but frowned. Although she was angry at Rokkaku Yoshiken's bastard, the Miyoshi family's soldiers were so sharp that she couldn't figure it out and couldn't trouble the Rokkaku family.
"Yes, why doesn't he return to Beijing? Master Gongfang has the final say in everything."
Mibuchi Haru said worriedly. Hosokawa Fujitaka glanced at his mother and raised his thumb secretly. Mother's unintentional remark was a great help.
"This...I dare not say..."
Hosokawa Fujitaka pretended to be embarrassed, making Ashikaga Yoshiteru uncomfortable. When did my Ashikaga family get fooled like this? Everyone wants to deal with me.
"explain!"
With a certain amount of anger, Ashikaga Yoshiteru stared at Hosokawa Fujitaka.
"Yes. Mr. Shiba said, he said... Today's world is in troubled times. If someone slaps you, you have to cut him back with a knife. How can you let people underestimate the Shiba family? There are still men in the Shiba family."
Hosokawa Fujitaka said carefully, adding a little oil and a little vinegar. So much foreshadowing is just for this sentence. If it doesn't work, or has the opposite effect, it will be bad.
After saying that, he fell to the ground and repeatedly called for death.
For a while, there was no sound. He quietly raised his head and saw Ashikaga Yoshiki's eyes were like copper bells, and the anger in his pupils was about to spurt out.
Mibuchi Haru and Wada Noimasa on the side were so angry that they didn't dare to breathe. Shiba Yoshigan's words were simply rebellious!
What troubled times! The Ashikaga Shogunate is still there! The Ashikaga family is still here! This kid knows how to talk nonsense!
The two of them couldn't wait to drag Yiyin back for a spanking. This naughty boy from the Sibo family was too troubled.
Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was stared directly at by Ashikaga Yoshiteru, raised his head and met the general's eyes, and his body froze.
"Hey Hey Hey..."
Ashikaga Yoshiki let out a cry of laughter, so cold and bone-chilling that the three women present were so frightened that they did not dare to move.
"What a troubled world, what a slap, what a man..."
Ashikaga Yoshiki stood up and took out the famous sword in his hand.
Mibuchiharu was frightened, thinking that the general had lost his mind and wanted to kill the second daughter for making disrespectful remarks, so he couldn't help but rush forward and kowtow.
"Lord Gongfang, please calm down. Lord Gongfang, please calm down."
"Calm down your anger! Calm down your anger! He is right! Shiba Yiyin is right!"
Ashikaga Yoshiki's face turned red, obviously extremely angry.
"My noble Ashikaga family! I want to beg for mercy from the Rokkaku family! I don't even dare to openly announce the murder of the envoys!
This is not troubled times! What is troubled times! What kind of general am I?
He is a man who knows how to fight back when he is beaten! And me! I am Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the thirteenth shogun of the Ashikaga family! My face is swollen! It was swollen!
Gather the horse crowd! I want to lead the troops myself! I'm going to ask Rokkaku Yoshiken! Is she going to rebel? Is this still Ashikaga Tenka? "
Wada Weizheng was shocked and stepped forward to persuade.
"Master Gongfang, think twice, these three good families..."
"Miyoshi, what the hell! If Miyoshi Changqing is capable, come here. I'll wait for her here, waiting for her to replace my Ashikaga family and become a member of the world!"
All the grievances, anger, and unwillingness he had felt since becoming a general poured out at this moment and could no longer be suppressed. Ashikaga Yoshiki made up his mind that even if he failed in the battle this time, he would never let the glory of the Ashikaga family continue to be humiliated!
