Taking a boat is much faster than traveling by land. In two days, Yoshihiro and his party entered the Seta River and saw Sakamoto Castle, which had already begun construction.
The efficiency of the shogunate changed from the previous slackness in the general's mobilization. In just a few days, the siege had already begun.
In response, Mitsuhide Akechi made one mocking joke after another. She is no longer too lazy to hide herself in front of Yiyin. When talking about world affairs, she behaves like a mentally obsessive person who makes her feel disgusted.
Seeing how the gentle and elegant Samurai Ji had turned into such an unabashed poisonous tongue and sinister person now, Yiyin could only feel the uneasiness in his heart getting stronger and stronger.
Isn't she afraid that I will chase her away? After all, the two have different masters. If Yiyin sees her unhappy, he still has the right to tell her to get lost.
Unless the two of them have boarded a pirate ship and still can't get off. Thinking of this, Yiyin became even more panicked.
It was still speculation at this time, and it was not until he entered Kyoto and was rejected in front of Sanbuchi Haruman's residence that Yoshigan was completely sure.
problem occurs.
"Okay, Lord Akechi Mitsuhide, you can now tell me why the shogunate suddenly doesn't want to see me."
After a tiring journey, the group first found a tavern in the castle town to eat. Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide helplessly and asked.
"To be precise, it's probably because the ministers don't want to see you."
Akechi Mitsuhide was smiling with his lips pursed, but he felt it was inappropriate and covered his small cherry mouth with his hands, which made Yiyin want to help her block it.
“The imperial family system was founded by the Kamakura shogunate. At that time, the samurai family was not as hierarchical as it is today, so it could be implemented.
Today's high-level martial arts families have been multiplying for hundreds of years, and their descendants are clearly distinguished and orderly. If you restart the imperial family system like this, except for the embarrassed general who is interested, how can anyone else treat you? "
Yiyin couldn't help but rolled his eyes. I fought life and death in Omi to make contributions to the shogunate. In the eyes of these girls, I set the clock back for history.
"Then you can't do this to me, right? I have done meritorious service for the shogunate, and I have shed blood for the shogunate."
"That's right. It's too gentle. At least I have to find a reason to kill you."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and answered seriously.
Is there any justice? Yiyin took a dull sip of wine and buried himself in his meal.
The three women on the side didn't have any objections.
Otani Yoshitsugi has always been a man of few words, doing things well and not caring about anything else.
Maeda wanted to finish her work and return to Owari as soon as possible. In her eyes, the shogunate was not as good as the bowl of rice in her hand. Can she eat it?
Todo Takatora? The first time I left my hometown and came to the lively castle town of Kyoto, I couldn’t see enough. We'll talk about the shogunate later.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, I had to find a place to stay. It's getting late. I'll go to the palace to see the general tomorrow.
Kyoto is big and difficult to live in. There was no familiar place to stay in the castle town, so I followed my memory to the merchant who had donated money to the shogunate.
As a businessman related to the Oda family, Yoshigan is Oda Nobunaga's direct minister, so he should have no problem finding some convenience, right?
"Shiba Gozen, stay well. It's great to meet you. I'm still worried about where to find you."
At the merchant's office, I unexpectedly met Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Yiyin asked in surprise.
"You haven't gone back to Owari yet."
"Yes, I spent a lot of time shopping with Kii in Sakai Port, and finally contacted a seller of iron cannons with good quality and low price.
This time I bought three bottles and was about to return them to Owari to deliver them to His Highness. I received a message from His Highness here, asking me to find Shiba Gozen to convey the message. "
The petite Kinoshita Hideyoshi still looks innocent and speaks with reason and restraint.
Yiyin nodded repeatedly with a good impression of her, but Akechi Mitsuhide behind him looked at her coldly.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty Oda?"
"His Highness requested that Imperial Majesty Shiba be temporarily stationed in Kyoto to serve as an envoy of the Oda family to contact the shogunate."
what happened? Yiyin was speechless for a moment.
Wasn't his mission in going to the capital to seek a guardianship for Oda Nobunaga? The official was obtained, the battle was fought, and the Oda family and the shogunate were all accounted for.
Why should I stay in Kyoto at this time? Owari is far away on Tokaido, at least across Mino Omi from Kyoto. If there is anything that needs to be communicated to the shogunate. All the shogunate wants is your obedience and donations.
Yiyin felt that something was getting more and more wrong, and a cold sweat slowly broke out.
The shogunate doesn't want to see me, and Oda Nobunaga seems to have a problem with me. What's going on? Habitually looking at his adviser, Akechi Mitsuhide gave him a bright smile.
If you laugh at your size, sooner or later you will be fucked. Yiyin sighed secretly, it was not convenient to ask her here at the moment.
"Hideyoshi, I just came back from Omi and now I need a place to stay. Do you have any suggestions?"
Yoshigan thought about settling down first before talking about anything else. Knowing that Kinoshita Hideyoshi had an idea, he asked casually.
Hideyoshi tilted his head in confusion, thinking that since Shiba Gozen had made great contributions to the shogunate this time, he didn't even have a place to stay when he returned to the capital. But she didn't say much and just replied respectfully.
"I'm currently living in Tofukuji Temple. The residence there is spacious and bright, and the rent is not expensive. If Shiba Gozen is interested, I can help negotiate the price."
"Okay, please."
Yiyin no longer thinks about anything else. He is tired from the journey and encounters these troublesome things. He just wants to have a good sleep before talking.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi bowed and led the way, and the group headed towards Tofukuji Temple.
The castle town of Kyoto is bustling, and the lights are still bustling with people. The area around Tofukuji Temple is a prosperous castle town. Yamanaka Yukimori was bored and browsing the stalls, feeling frustrated.
As the last direct descendant of the Nizi family, Nizi Shengjiu is an indispensable and important figure for her to revive the Nizi family.
Nowadays, the road to revival has not yet started, but it has encountered ups and downs. Nizi Shengjiu doesn't even want to revive his family business. How can there be such a martial arts family in the world.
"Whose little girl is this? She's so beautiful. Why does she look so sad? Who offended you? Come and talk to your sister."
Yamanaka Yukimori, who was thinking about something, was blocked by two Ji Samurai. He looked up and saw a woman wearing a gorgeous kimono with red bottom and gold trim looking at her with evil intentions. She was talking and her hand had already been stretched out to pinch her chin.
Yamanaka Yukimori took two steps back and put his hand on the handle of the knife so warily. She had been beautiful since she was a child, but she had often been teased by the bad-tempered Warrior Ji, and she had long since learned to use a knife to protect herself.
Men in this world have weak constitutions and are either skinny or obese. There are few handsome and capable men. Some warriors liked that thing, but looked down on men, and gradually developed a love for them.
The so-called common path is the joy of women. Compared with the panting of men, women are still happy and comfortable. Marrying a husband is nothing more than procreation, while sharing the truth is true love.
This gorgeous kimono can tell that the woman has an extraordinary background. Ten warriors surrounded by her subordinates have already blocked the road ahead and in front of Yukimori Yamazaka.
Some passers-by couldn't stand this bullying behavior and wanted to come forward to say something, but others pulled them away. Pointing at the family crests on the warrior Ji's bodies, he suddenly realized it. He lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
It was obviously not the first time for this woman in gorgeous clothes to do such a thing, but it was exciting and interesting to draw the sword against Yamanaka Yukimori's gesture.
"It's not good to play with knives at a young age. Why don't you let your sister take you to play with other things? I'll make sure you never come back. There's no guarantee you'll fall in love with my sister from now on."
The woman's eyes were wandering around Yamanaka Yukimori's body, giving her goosebumps.
Yamanaka Yukimori is not a fool. The person who can do such a thing blatantly in the castle town of Kyoto is definitely not an ordinary person.
She didn't want to cause trouble either. Nizi's family had to rely on the nobles in the capital for help. If she offended someone she couldn't afford to offend, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After thinking about it for a while, I didn't dare to take action. The woman seemed to notice her hesitation, smiled, and reached out to hug her.
"You'd better stop holding your hands, otherwise, you may die."
The woman's hands froze and she looked back. It was a group of Ji warriors, and the leader turned out to be a young man.
"I don't know how to fight, I can only kill. If I really pulled out the knife, I would be embarrassed. How about you help me and stop now."
