Since Yiyin left Kyoto, he has been busy with politics and military affairs, and has never paid attention to the small circle among the husbands of the Wu family.
After all, he is the boss who instructs Warrior Ji to do things, so he doesn't need to care about their husbands. Moreover, the men of the Wu family were rarely involved in government affairs due to their low status, and there was no possibility of interaction.
Except for the Grand Odaisho in Kyoto, there has never been a samurai husband who dared to invite him to join the brotherhood.
This time, it was strange.
Just when Yiyin was confused, Asai Nagamasa had already jumped up and cursed.
"Nonsense! What a nonsense!
Akao-sama and I are reporting on important military matters. How dare this ignorant man bother the Imperial Palace with such trivial matters! "
Asai Nagamasa bowed deeply to Yoshiyin and said.
"I'm sorry, my wife doesn't understand the general situation. I'm going to teach him a lesson."
After saying that, she actually left the room, leaving Yiyin stunned.
Even if Asai's husband is ignorant, Yoshihiro can just refuse it politely. Asai Nagamasa left in a hurry, but he was trying to cover up the situation and arouse suspicion.
There was something strange in Yoshigage's heart. He glanced at Akao Kiyosuna next to him and snorted coldly.
Akao Kiyosuna complained secretly, and Asai was so angry that he lost his mind. Now that she is gone, how can he explain himself here?
Godaisho condescended to come to Otani Castle, but Asai Nagamasa left because of this trivial matter. There is obviously something wrong.
At this point, Akao Kiyosuna also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he decisively made a gesture of asking for forgiveness.
"Really sorry!"
Yiyin sighed and asked.
"what is going on?"
Akao Kiyotsuna glanced at Kamao Clan, who was stunned at the door because Asai Nagamasa left in a hurry, and was speechless.
Yiyin waved his hand and said.
"Kamoji, you go out first."
After Kamao clan bowed and went out to close the door, Akao Kiyosuna let out a sigh and sighed.
"My family is unfortunate, Yutaisuo.
In fact, the governor did not know about your coming this time. It was her husband who sent an envoy without permission. "
Yiyin was shocked. He thought about many possibilities, but he never expected that the truth was so outrageous. It is simply unbelievable that a husband from the martial arts family would dare to do such a thing behind his wife's back.
Wait a moment, Yoshigami suddenly realized that he was the one who helped connect Asai and Oda's family so that they could work together to make progress together. The foundation of the two alliances is marriage.
He vaguely remembered that Asai Nagamasa's husband was Oda Nobunaga's younger brother, Oda City Lord? No, he should be called Asai City-kun now.
If it were City Lord, this might really happen.
Yoshigan had heard in Owari Country a long time ago that Oda Nobunaga's younger brother had a very similar temperament to her.
I had complained at the beginning that Ichi-kun and Oda Nobunaga had the same temper, how bad his character must be?
Now seeing Akao Kiyosuna panicking and apologizing in front of him, Yoshigami couldn't help but shake his head. That was really bad.
he said.
"So, you and His Highness Asai originally wanted to get rid of me? How unreasonable!"
Yoshigan was a little angry. Asai Nagasaki couldn't manage his husband well, and he still wanted to get away with it. Who did he think Yoshigan was?
There were countless matters waiting for Yiyin to deal with on the front line. Just because of the misbehavior of a stingy man, he made a special trip to Xiaogu City.
If outsiders knew that the wise and powerful Otai was tricked by a warrior husband, he, Shiba Yiyin, would be shameless!
Seeing that Yoshigin was angry, Akao Kiyosuna had no other choice but to keep complaining.
"Otai Suo, you don't know something.
Although His Highness Oda's off-season operations were powerful, the Asai family also paid a huge price for it.
Although the military rations were supplied by the Oda family, the farmers and soldiers who transported the military rations had to be mobilized for labor locally. The battlefield was in Omi Province, and most of the peasants and soldiers transported came from my family in Kitaomi.
For fear of delaying spring plowing, the dissatisfied voices among the retainers never subsided, but were forcibly suppressed by the governor.
When such a scandal happened, neither the family governor nor I dared to let the news leak out, for fear that the retainers would take the opportunity to rebound and interfere with the important task of mobilizing peasants and soldiers.
Moreover, the governor's husband is from the Oda family, so if he turns against His Highness Oda because of this, it will affect the overall situation even more. "
Akao Kiyosuna explained in a low voice, and Yoshigan slowly calmed down as he listened.
Asai Nagamasa's approach is indeed not wrong. This time point is too sensitive. Everything is done to make way for Shangluo, and it is right not to create extraneous problems.
Yiyin frowned and said.
"Even if you have to hide it from outsiders, you shouldn't hide it from me. Why hide it from me."
Akao Kiyosuna was submissive on the surface, but in his heart he disagreed.
No matter how noble the Imperial Palace is, to Asai Nagamasa and Akao Kiyosuna, they are not outsiders, so can they still be considered insiders? If she couldn't hide it, she wouldn't tell the truth.
Akao Kiyosuna apologized repeatedly, seeing that Yoshihiro Shiba was reasonable and felt a little more at ease.
Yoshigami sighed, not wanting to pursue Nagamasa Asai for the crime of transgressing etiquette.
As Akao Kiyozuna said, going to Luoyang is the top priority now, and the overall situation cannot be damaged because of the city lord's willfulness.
But Yiyin still felt very surprised. Why did the city king find him?
So, he asked Akao Kiyozuna.
"My husband Asai and I have never been together. Why did he use Jifan to lure me to Xiaodani City?"
Akao Kiyosuna was suddenly speechless. She knew some of the reasons, but how could she explain them?
Could it be that Yoshigan Shiba was told that Asai Nagamasa had a crush on him, so he was jealous and wanted to see what kind of vixen had fascinated his wife?
Not to mention that Shiba Yoshigan is pure and innocent, even if he really had an affair with Asai Nagamasa, he would not tolerate other people's irresponsible remarks.
He is the direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family holding the royal white flag, the embodiment of righteousness, and the biological father of the martial arts family in the world. From ancient times to the present, how can there be any reason for children to arrange for their old father?
Maybe, the Asai retainers still think that Asai Nagamasa has taken a huge advantage, and they are afraid that their own family will not be able to bear it.
Akao Kiyosuna couldn't express what Asai Nagamasa had in mind. Yiyin saw that she kept her mouth shut, but her eyes kept looking at him, and suddenly her heart moved.
He silently pointed to his face, and then pointed to the place where Asai Nagamasa had been sitting just now. Akao Kiyosuna gritted his teeth and nodded slightly, then kowtowed to the ground in apology.
Yiyin looked up to the sky and sighed.
After working on it for a long time, I still have to find the reason from myself? Sure enough, I was so handsome that I fascinated Asai Nagamasa?
He couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that the inner courtyard of the Asai family was suffering from acidosis, and Asai Nagamasa could not control the situation. No wonder she left in a hurry just now to put out the fire in the back house.
After understanding the truth, Yiyin felt his teeth sore. What the hell is he doing? Didn't he take the initiative to seduce Asai Nagamasa?
That city gentleman can't control his wife, but instead resents Yiyin. It's so unreasonable. Is it illegal to be handsome?
Yiyin was also annoyed with this unscrupulous city king. But he thought that he was Oda Nobunaga's younger brother. If he was severely punished, it would attract Oda Nobunaga's concern.
When Oda Nobunaga comes to inquire about the reason, how will he explain it?
Yiyin remembered that he had accompanied her to have sex, and now her younger siblings wanted to have sex with her again. She couldn't help but shook her head and sighed, what a big deal this is.
Although he understood the cause and effect, Yiyin could not figure out the matter and could only admit that he was unlucky.
This kind of emotional dispute will continue to become chaotic after being sorted out. It is better to let Mr. and Mrs. Asai make trouble on their own. No matter how you react, rumors will spread that are not beneficial to you.
The inexplicable gossip about Odaisho and Asai's husband snatching his wife, Tamamo-mae (the vixen) returning to Konja, etc. must be so unpleasant to hear and spread.
Arranging to ridicule those in power is the most popular entertainment activity for ordinary people at all times and at home and abroad. The rough and direct imagination of the people at the bottom is enough to make Yiyin feel disgusted for no reason.
After all, this is a world where women are respected, and a man’s honor is also his honor. Even if Shiba Yiyin doesn’t care about chastity, he still cares about image.
After thinking about it clearly, Yiyin decided to pretend to be dumbfounded, he said.
"The purpose of coming here this time is to discuss the arrangements for the Hokuriku Road trade route this year, right?"
Akao Kiyosuna was stunned and immediately reacted. Yiyin didn't want to pursue the case, let alone cause a scandal. For the Asai family, this result couldn't be better.
she said quickly.
"Yes, yes, I invite you here this time to discuss whether the incident in Shangluo will affect the normal operation of the Hokuriku Road trade route."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"Well, as long as the matter is explained clearly, I can go to Sawa Mountain Castle with peace of mind."
Akao Kiyosuna said respectfully.
"Hi! I'm really sorry for causing you any trouble. Please stay in the residence for one night today. The supervisor and I will practice it for you tomorrow."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when another knock on the door came from outside, Yiyin said helplessly.
"what happened again?"
Kamo clan opened the door, bowed and said.
"At the Imperial Palace, the Asai family sent someone to report that Oda Nobunaga misses his younger brother and has come to visit Otani Castle. He is about one day away."
"What?"
Yoshigan subconsciously looked at Akao Kiyosuna, his eyes seeming to ask, what is going on?
Akao Kiyosuna was also confused and quickly shook his head in denial.
"This matter is really not the fault of the Asai family. It is only now that I know about Oda Nobunaga's personal visit to Otani Castle."
Yiyin frowned.
"Just because you don't know, doesn't mean others don't know."
Akao Kiyosuna was stunned at first, she really didn't dare to vouch for Ichi-kun. Who knows if this man will have a trance and send an envoy to find his sister to support him.
Yiyin let out a deep breath, he couldn't stay here for a moment longer. Although he was not afraid of Oda Nobunaga, being trapped in this scandal vortex made him really irritated.
If he had actually had sex with Asai Nagamasa back then, he would have admitted it. It’s not incomprehensible that someone else’s husband wants to find trouble after sleeping with someone else’s wife.
But he and Asai Nagamasa are innocent, so this kind of thing is too bullying.
Yiyin snorted coldly and said.
"The frontline affairs are still waiting for me to deal with. Now that the Hokuriku Road trade route has been negotiated, I will leave immediately for Sawayama Castle."
Tomorrow, Oda Nobunaga will arrive. If Yiyin wants to leave, he must leave today, pretending not to know that she is coming. If it were postponed until tomorrow, it would be inconvenient to avoid her.
Akao Kiyosuna huffed twice, his mind was in confusion, and his words were a bit disobedient.
If the imperial office comes and leaves, what will others think? But if he doesn't leave, Oda Nobunaga will come tomorrow, which will be even more troublesome.
Seeing Akao Kiyosuna's troubled look, Yoshigami snorted coldly, stood up and said.
"Kamoji Township, set off immediately!"
"Hi!"
Yoshigan left decisively, and Akao Kiyosuna finally woke up and quickly followed.
"Otaisuo, please give me some time and I will prepare supplies for your trip."
Yoshigami stopped and nodded to Akao Kiyosuna.
"Then I'll trouble you, Akao-sama."
Akao Kiyosuna bowed deeply and said.
"It is my family that has caused trouble to the imperial office. I would be very grateful if you would not pursue it.
Please rest for a while in the side room. I'll be back soon. "
After saying that, Akao Kiyozuna left in a hurry to prepare for Yoshigan Shiba's trip. Thinking that Oda Nobunaga would come to visit tomorrow, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
What a sin! What kind of man did Asai Nagamasa marry? What a big trouble!
———
Shiba Yiyin couldn't wait all night and left straight away, leaving Xiaogu City behind him.
The city king swore to heaven that he had never sent another envoy, nor had he invited his sister Oda Nobunaga to come.
Although Asai Nagamasa believed what he said, the fact that the imperial office ran away overnight had aroused the suspicion and concern of the retainers.
Akao Kiyotsuna was busy calming the emotions of the retainers, saying that Yoshigan Shiba's departure was a frontline military emergency. Then he changed the subject by saying that the Hokuriku Road trade route was unobstructed, and finally managed to calm people's hearts.
As for the city king who caused the trouble, before Akao Kiyosuna could complain to Asai Nagamasa, he welcomed the next day's guest, Oda Nobunaga.
Xiaotani Castle Residence Hall and teahouse in the inner courtyard.
Oda Nobunaga was nominally here to visit Ichikun, but he was also surprised to hear that Yoshigan Shiba had left.
She missed Yiyin, so she simply entered the inner courtyard in the name of a visit, drank tea and chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Asai, and then looked for an opportunity to test it out.
When the tea man served the tea soup, Asai Nagamasa waved his hand and bowed to leave. The three people in the room were speechless for a moment.
Oda Nobunaga clearly felt that something was wrong between the two of them, Asai Nagamasa's smile was forced, and Ichijun's eyes were red and swollen, and there seemed to be a conflict.
She took a sip of tea and said.
"Your Highness Asai, Ichi-kun has a bad temper. Please be more considerate of him every day."
Ichijun was in a bad mood. Hearing his sister belittle him, he couldn't help but glare at her. Then her next words made her eyes heat up.
Oda Nobunaga continued.
"But he is my brother after all. If there is anything too much, I would like to apologize to you in advance. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with her."
After speaking, Oda Nobunaga bowed slightly. With her current status of a million-koku daimyo, speaking of this is already a very low profile.
Except for the fact that before Ichijun got married, Oda Nobunaga slapped Oda Nobunaga because of her humiliation of Shiba Yoshigan, the relationship between the siblings was actually very good.
Oda Nobunaga also sincerely hopes that Ichikun can live a better life at the Asai family.
Asai Nagamasa was also moved, and after bowing in return, he said.
"The mayor is my husband, and it is my responsibility to take good care of him. There is no need for you to condescend to give such careful instructions.
It’s just that there is a certain bottom line between the female protagonist and the male protagonist, but it’s better not to cross it. "
Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes slightly, not quite understanding what Asai Nagamasa meant.
But at this time, the city king sneered and said.
"If you and him are clean and clear. Why didn't he dare to attend my tea party and leave Xiaogu City overnight?
It’s clear that he has a guilty conscience! "
