Afterwards, the group came to Tofuku Temple, where the rescued Ji Samurai also lived.
"I'm so lucky to be on my way down the mountain, and I'm grateful to Si Bo for his kindness."
"My dear, Katsuhisa, I have met Shiba Gozen."
Instructing Otani Yoshitsugi and Todo Toradaka to follow Kinoshita Hideyoshi to discuss matters at his residence, Yoshigami brought Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Yoshihiro to Nizi Katsuhisa's side to sit down for a while.
"No need to be polite, it's just a little effort. Who knew there were such bad martial arts in Kyoto."
Yamanaka Yukimori was still frightened after hearing this and couldn't help but nodded, Nizi Katsuhisa also said.
"It has long been rumored that this generation of family governor of the Hatakeyama family behaved wildly and indulged in public affairs. This time Yukimori was able to escape from her clutches, thanks to the help of the imperial concubine."
In the realm of Kyoto, Hatakeyama Takamasa is used to doing whatever he wants. If it were Yoshigan Shiba half a year ago, he might not dare to take action to deter him.
He took advantage of the cheat to go into battle and kill people, and his psychological advantage was gradually established after two battles.
Now he has a much stronger mentality than when the Sibo family was first wiped out. He has actually beheaded dozens of people, and he no longer needs to be timid when facing other martial arts families.
No matter how you say it, he is a well-known figure, and you can't help but be proud of him. My heart was at ease, and I didn't forget to look at Nizi Shengjiu opposite me.
This woman has delicate features, dignified manners, and grand conversation. She is from a high-ranking noble family. Yamazaka Yukimori sat under her with the courtesy of a courtier. Could it be that he was a member of Nizi's family in the Western Kingdom?
"This kind of thing will look good to anyone who encounters it. I just happened to meet it at the right time."
Yiyin said he was humble, but he didn't think so in his heart. Just to maintain his character, he had to act as he should.
Akechi Mitsuhide was watching from the side. This girl was mentally ill. If her character was inconsistent and she was suspicious, she might actually stab Yoshiyin in the back one day.
Sure enough, as soon as he spoke, not only Mitsuhide Akechi and Maeda felt comfortable listening to it, but Katsuhisa Nizi's eyes also lit up. Yamanaka Yukimori, who was not as beautiful as an ordinary person, had a cautious look in his eyes, and could not see anyone else for a while.
"People outside say that Imperial Shiba is benevolent and righteous. When I saw him today, he turned out to be an extraordinary man from the martial arts family. I admire him for a long time."
"You're welcome, you two don't look ordinary, but are you from Nizi's family in the West?"
Shengjiu smiled bitterly.
"To be honest, Ozen, I am the direct descendant of the Nizi family. But there is no such thing as the Nizi family anymore. Tsukiyama Tomita Castle was attacked by the Mouri family, and the Nizi family was destroyed."
The three of them, Yiyin, were all surprised.
The Western Kingdom was originally the sphere of influence of one of the four shogunate officials. At its strongest, it owned eleven kingdoms, accounting for one-sixth of the sixty-six kingdoms in the world, so it was called the Sixth Palace.
After the decline of the Yamame family, the Sanyo Ouchi family and the Sanin Nizi family attacked each other for hegemony in the Western Kingdom. When the Nizi family was at its strongest, it was a great name that owned territory in eleven countries.
Although Mourimoto later took advantage of both sides, taking advantage of the war between the Ouchi family and the Nizi family, he finally dominated the Western Kingdom. But after all, the Nizi family has a profound background, and it is really disappointing that they were actually attacked and destroyed by the Maori family.
"The Nizi family will surely thrive again! I, Yukimori the Mountain, am willing to endure seven hardships and eight hardships to revive the Nizi family!"
On the side, Yamanaka Yukimori interrupted angrily, while Nizi Katsuhisa looked embarrassed. Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the beautiful Samurai Ji with strange eyes, and Maeda Yoshihide looked at Yoshigan while suppressing a smile.
"I wish you success."
Yoshihiro replied seriously to Yamanaka Yukimori. It turns out that this is a legendary incident. I couldn’t bear to watch the system update. Now is not the time.
Yamanaka Yukimori was used to saying that, but this time he said it reflexively because of Nizi Katsuhisa's words. In front of him was the original protagonist, his face flushed, biting his lower lip and lowering his head in silence.
This girl is so beautiful, her expression shocked Yiyin.
Nizi Katsuhisa also felt embarrassed. She didn't hate Yamanaka Yukimori, in fact she liked her very much. Seeing her indomitable momentum and determined attitude, I am very envious.
Only he knows in his heart whether he is tired, annoyed or afraid of family matters.
Although she doesn't say it with her mouth, in her heart she regards this little sister as her caring person. Now that he has been favored by Si Bo Yiyin, he speaks arrogantly again, making the elder sister helpless and proud.
Thinking that she had nothing to repay Shiba Yiyin, she decided to say something as she was always calm and sincere.
"Shiba Gozen made great contributions to the shogunate during the Noragada battle, but he has to stay at Tofukuji Temple when he returns to the capital. It seems to be a bit troublesome."
"indeed."
Yiyin didn't expect that this nun, Shengjiu, who lived in the temple, could see the situation outside at a glance, which was not easy.
"Your Majesty Siba looks calm. There must be wise and resourceful people in the family to assist you. I shouldn't talk too much, but I am fortunate to have received your kindness from your Majesty, and I have nothing to repay. I can only say a few words shamelessly, and ask your Majesty to express my gratitude."
"It's nothing. I'm worried about it too. I'll listen to what you say."
As he said that, he turned back and glanced at Akechi Mitsuhide. If you listen to it, you will understand. I am fooled by this girl every day and fall into a trap. It is better to listen to other people's opinions.
"On Oizen's trip to Omi, the shogunate did not send a single soldier, but he gained great benefits. The imperial family is also an institution recognized by the shogunate, and what Gozen did is understandable.
If others want to do harm, they can only do it secretly, which is disgusting and disgusting to you. On the surface, you are right. "
Yiyin nodded repeatedly as he listened. The Wu family society has always judged heroes based on victory or defeat. Not to mention that he is being reasonable, as long as he wins the fight, it is right not to be unreasonable. On the surface, no one can touch him, and there is no reason to even blame him.
“So this time when reporting to the shogunate, the emperor must adhere to two points.
The first is to be tough to the end. There are many scum in the Wu family who follow the trend and are greedy for quick benefits. The more you try to soften, the more you feel weak and bullied. Therefore, the emperor cannot give in.
Secondly, if the shogunate hopes that the imperial concubine will contribute in the battle against the Miyoshi family. The emperor must nominate his own troops to lead an army alone, and must not join forces with others. People's hearts are sinister, so be careful. "
Yoshigan felt that it made sense. Although Nizi Katsuhisa's analysis was good, he didn't know that Yoshigan was actually Oda Nobunaga's direct minister.
Leading the way? Hehe, even if I die, I will never work for the shogunate again!
These bastards, I'm fighting life and death in the front, and they are dragging their feet behind and looking for trouble, and now they want to kill me. Serve whoever wants to serve, I won't do it anymore.
"Nizi Ji Jinyu's kind words, Yiyin is grateful."
Yi Gin gave a half-bow to express his gratitude, and Nizi Katsuhisa also bowed in return.
This Shiba Gozen is indeed a person. He can listen to offensive words better than many samurai who insist on force and tyranny, and he has more favorable impressions.
Then Kinoshita Hideyoshi took care of the accommodation. Everyone had a meal and went back to their houses to rest after being tired from the journey. Yoshigan left Akechi Mitsuhide to his room and asked her with a cold expression and dissatisfaction.
"It's just you and me now. Tell me, did you know that things would turn out like this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide leaned forward and bowed, but he had other words.
"Your Majesty, the Samurai family will be rewarded for their service to the Lord. Maeda's interests and Owari's share are known to be 1,500 koku, so let's leave it aside for the moment. Yoshitsugi Otani fought bravely, how can he be rewarded?"
"this.."
Yiyin was upset. What the Wu family asks for from the public is a reward. It is indeed wrong for me to be so complacent these days that I forget about Otani Yoshitsugi who is working with his head down.
"The ancestral village of the Otani family is still under the prying eyes of the Rokkaku family. I will see the general tomorrow and ask the Lord to ask for a peace certificate for Otani Yoshitsugi to reassure her."
"I will seek the good."
The security warrants are also divided into grades. The security warrants issued by the general are naturally the most valuable. Unless the Rokkaku family wants to rebel, no one can touch the ancestral land of the Otani family.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, whether I, Akechi Mitsuhide, have done my best to fulfill my duties in this battle?"
"Do your best."
Akechi Mitsuhide changed the topic and blocked Yoshiyin in the corner. He didn't care about it and gave the scheming woman an excuse.
"I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the Lord to grant me a night of love."
ah? Yiyin looked at Akechi Mitsuhide in astonishment, seeing her eyes filled with overflowing possession and desire, and was speechless for a moment.
