Ise Sadaki hesitated.
"Mother, the general has begun to neglect you. Will she approve your proposal and convene the council again?"
Ise Sakyo sneered.
"The general wants to cut off contact with me, but she needs more money and food from the government treasury!
Takada Yukino and the Mibu wolf were carrying out some kind of Tenchu in Kyoto, causing people to panic. The commerce in the castle town dwindled and commercial taxes were greatly reduced.
If the shogun wants money and food to restore the operation of the shogunate and stabilize Ashikama's return, he must convene a council to prevent the panic from continuing to spread. "
Ise Sadakyo looked back at his daughter and said solemnly.
“This is the only chance for the Ise family, and I will use this opportunity to completely break up the two sides of Ashikawa.
Only in this way can we have a chance of survival! The Ise family has no way out, I have no other choice! "
Ise Sadaki looked at his haggard mother and nodded silently.
Ise Sakyo asked.
"Are Odate Ueno and the others dead?"
Ise Sadake's face was solemn and he was silent. Ise Sakyo looked at his daughter coldly and repeated.
"Answer me, are they dead?"
Ise Sadaki sighed.
"Da Guan is too cunning. She probably guessed that I would silence them. After the ambush, she threw away my spy and disappeared.
I'm trying to find a way to contact the hidden ones among them and find their new hiding place. "
Ise Sadaoka slapped his daughter hard on the face and cursed.
"If you fail to succeed, you will fail! Do you think everyone else is a fool? Just stay where you are and wait for you to kill!"
Find it now! They must be dealt with as soon as possible! They must not be allowed to betray the Ise family! Did you hear me! Go quickly! "
Ise Sadaki bowed and left in embarrassment. Ise Sadakyo looked at his daughter's back and felt like he couldn't breathe.
But for the sake of the Ise family, she must hold on!

Sibo Mansion, in the courtyard.
Yoshiyin sat on the tatami and watched Yangno busy with his business. The room where the three of them had fun yesterday became the place where Yukino lay sick.
Seeing Yang Nai working hard as if to atone for his sins, Yi Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped forward and held Yangno's wrist and said.
"That's enough! You need to rest! If you continue like this, you will die of exhaustion!"
For the first time, Yangno ignored Yiyin's order and tried to break free from his wrist. But she is not a warrior. Although Yiyin is not very strong, it is more than enough to suppress her.
Unable to break away, Yangno looked at the unconscious Yukino next to her and cried.
"Let me go! Please let me do something more for her! She has been unconscious and can't even drink rice soup. If this continues, she will starve to death!
Please let me do something more for her, please, let me do something more for her!
I didn't dare to rest, sleep, or even close my eyes. I was so afraid that when I opened my eyes, she would be gone! "
Yang Nai collapsed on the tatami and burst into tears. Yiyin's face turned livid and he was speechless.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside, and Kamao Clan appeared outside the sliding door and bowed.
Yiyin looked back at her with a sullen look on his face.
"I told you not to disturb me unless you have nothing to do. Let me be quiet for a while."
Pu Sheng's hometown bowed his head respectfully and said in a low voice.
"The Grand Imperial Palace and Nijo Imperial Palace have held an emergency review. Please be sure to participate."
Yiyin sneered and asked.
"Review what?"
Kamaojigo hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Yukino who was in a coma, and answered cautiously.
"Concerning the issue of assassinations becoming common in castle towns, the townspeople are frightened, and the shogunate's collection of commercial taxes is damaged."
Yiyin burst into laughter, and the hatred in his laughter was so strong that it made the Hamo clan feel terrified.
She kowtowed deeply and sweat broke out on her forehead.
Yiyin let go of Yangno and didn't say anything. He just touched her hair with pity and walked out.

Nijo Imperial Palace, meeting hall.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was so anxious that he sat on the main seat and knocked on the desk.
"What did the people sent to Shiba's mansion say? Did the Odaisho come or not?"
Wada Weimasa bowed and said.
"It is said that the Grand Imperial Council will attend the review."
Ashikaga Yoshiaki was dissatisfied and pointed at the high-ranking martial artists in the meeting hall and said.
"Since it is coming, why is it so late? Everyone is waiting. How long have you been waiting?"
Just as Wada Weimasa was about to say something, the sliding door of the conference hall was opened, and Shiba Yiyin appeared outside the door.
All the Hime warriors except Ashikaga Yoshiaki kowtowed to the ground and saluted.
"The Grand Royal Tower is safe."
Yoshigami walked towards the main seat with a gloomy face. Ashikaga Yoshiaki was a little frightened by his appearance, but he still managed to put on the majestic posture of a general and said.
"Odaisho, you are finally here."
Yiyin ignored her at all, stepped up to the throne, and slapped her firmly on the face.
There was a crisp snap, which stunned Ashikaga Yoshiaki and made the entire meeting hall commotion.
Wada Weimasa looked in disbelief and shouted.
"Odaisho! What are you doing!"
Yiyin turned back and pointed at her and shouted.
"Shut up! Everyone, please be quiet!"
Wada Weizheng was shocked by his momentum and was stunned on the spot. The entire meeting hall fell into a suffocating silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Yoshigage looked back at Ashikaga Yoshiaki who looked disbelieving, and said slowly.
"It's me who gave you the golden sword seal. It's me who helped you become a general.
I never expected you to be grateful, but I really didn't expect you to be so ungrateful.
This slap is to remind you that my tolerance for you has reached its limit. "
Yiyin raised his right hand and made a small gap between his thumb and index finger.
“I still have a little bit of sanity left, and with just a little more stimulation, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life.
Don't take any chances. In my eyes, you are just a waste with no moral integrity.
I, Sibo Yiyin, came to Luo when I was fifteen years old. From the ruin of my family to the prosperity of my family, what kind of scenes have I not seen before? Defeated Rokkaku, fought three good battles, entered Guandong, and gone through countless bloody battles to get to where we are today!
Next time, if there is another provocation, remember to bring a knife and a gun. I will not tolerate it any longer. The problems between you and me will be completely solved with iron and blood! "
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's face turned pale and his body was trembling. Under Yoshigami's fierce gaze, she felt unprecedented fear.
Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki's horrified expression with disdain, Yoshigan sighed at this face that looked exactly like Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
"They are obviously twin sisters and have the same face. How could you be so stupid? Why is there such a big gap between people?"
After Yiyin vented his anger, he felt empty and boring. He turned around and scanned the whole place, and his eyes came into view with expressions of different expressions.
Hosokawa Motonsune, Hosokawa Fujitaka, Ninagawa Takashi, Hatakeyama Takamasa, Wada Taimasa, Hitoshi Yoshimasa, and Ise Sadakyo. . All kinds of people waited with bated breath, not daring to say anything to provoke the furious Yiyin.
Yiyin suddenly burst into laughter and burst into tears. He wiped the tears from his eyes and said disdainfully.
"Ashikaga the world, the elite of the shogunate, ha."
Yiyin stepped down from the main seat and walked out step by step. When passing by Ise Sadao, he stepped hard on her left shoulder and knocked her over.
Ise Sadakyo was old and frail. He was kicked so hard that he couldn't recover. He looked at Yoshiyin with hateful eyes.
Yiyin pointed at her and said calmly.
“It’s best that the attack on Yukino has nothing to do with you.
If I find out that you are causing trouble, you will kill your whole family. I won’t let go of any of the dogs that guard your mansion. "
After saying that, he raised his head and walked out, not wanting to stay here any longer. It was so disgusting.
The whole place was silent, everyone was frightened by Yiyin's sudden outburst.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki sat on the main seat, his face turning green and red. Her majesty as an Ashikaga general was completely shattered by this slap.
What made her even more resentful was that she couldn't muster the courage to resist just now, so she just watched Sibo Yiyin float away.
How could she continue to be the Ashikaga General after being so embarrassed!
———
While Shiba Yoshigan was furious at the Nijo Imperial Palace, the Mibuwolves gained their rightful base in Kyoto.
In the courtyard, the wolves were laughing and singing loudly. Suddenly, the sliding door of the room opened wide, and Isamu Kondo rushed out.
She was so angry that she used her scabbard to knock the swordsmen in the courtyard to the ground one by one and roared angrily.
"BaGeYaLu! You bastards!
The life and death of Takada Yukino-sama is uncertain, and the murderer who murdered him is still at large! You can actually laugh!
Our leader suffered, don’t you have any sense of sorrow, anger or shame? Give me all the extra practice to swing your sword 500 times! You are not allowed to eat until you finish practicing! "
Seeing Isamu Kondo's anger, the swordsmen didn't dare to act arrogantly anymore. They cheered and got up one after another to practice their swordsmanship.
They, a group of ronin, could change their identity, blend into the Shiba family's establishment, and become official Ji samurai with the rank of vassal and salary. It's all because of Kondo's bravery and courage to take them to Luo Kyoto and give them a try.
Therefore, Kondo Isamu's prestige is higher at this time, and everyone is willing to obey her orders.
Kondo Isamu stared at them for a while, and saw that they were indeed obedient and practicing their swordsmanship, and then returned to the room with a cold face.
In the room, General Okita smiled and said nothing, Hijikata Toshizo shook his head and said.
"Kondo-hime, don't argue with them. They are all rough people. They managed to get into the samurai family and become members of the noble Shiba family.
This was a blessing that could not be obtained in several lifetimes. They were all crazy with joy, and it was understandable that they would inevitably lose their manners in ecstasy and act wildly. "
Kondo Isamu sighed and said.
"Of course I understand how they feel, and I am overjoyed.
Odaisho was so generous, but he gave so much that it made me feel bad.
There is no free meal in the world. We seem to have successfully landed ashore, but in fact now is the most dangerous time.
We must not slack off at this time. If we can't do things beautifully and the Oitaishuo is furious and withdraws the reward, what will we do?
If you haven't gotten it yet, that's it. After gaining and then losing, how many of them can bear this loss? By then, I'm afraid they will really go crazy. "
Hijikata Tosei nodded and said.
"I admire Kondo-hime for her foresight."
Isamu Kondo sneered at his military advisor's seemingly serious but actually mocking words.
"Stop joking.
I know everyone is in a good mood, but at this time, we must maintain the correct attitude of grief and indignation to show to outsiders.
I just humiliated Yagyu Munenomi and Momochi Santafu. Even if they can't do anything to me on the surface, they may not be looking for trouble with us privately.
If they see us singing and dancing, and bring the matter to the attention of the Grand Otai, causing your Majesty's wrath, we will really die unjustly. "
Okita Souji frowned.
"No, right? After all, they are colleagues, and they are all Shiba's retainers."
Hijikata Toshizo laughed and said.
"Okita-hime, you just know how to practice your sword.
The Odaisho gave the three of us a total of 500 shi of knowledge, and also gave Miburou the establishment of 30 Shiba retainers, and enjoyed the benefits of the Shiba Chu Fund.
Do you know how great this reward is? How many people can't help but be jealous? "
Okita Souji shook his head, looking confused, and Kondo Isamu explained for her.
"As far as I know, the Shiba Zhong Fund is a retainer benefit just established by the Shiba family. In addition to thirty-year salary, he also enjoys two annuities per year, and can receive four to six koku of brown rice."
Okita Souji asked in disbelief with his eyes widened.
"Everyone has one? Four to six stones?"
Kondo Isamu nodded and said.
"Yes, in addition to the annuity from the Spozhong Fund, we also received additional accommodation, funds, and information.
Our treatment is much higher than the payouts of the Yagyu group and the ninjas of the confidentiality group.
You say, how could they not be jealous? Why do we enjoy these benefits? How to keep these benefits from being lost in the future? "
Okita Souji frowned and said nothing, Hijikata Toshizo smiled.
“Takada Yukino-sama’s status in the heart of Odaisho is indeed extraordinary.
I also didn’t expect that Odaisho would give us so many benefits because of Takada Yukino-sama’s serious injury. This may be because he was so angry that he didn't think too much about it.
But since we have received the benefits, we must hold on tightly and not lose them. "
Kondo Isamu nodded.
"Although the Renshenglang has an organization, who are we?
We are not good at fighting in battle. We don't understand spying. Looking at the inner guards, we don't know what to do.
The only thing we can rely on is the influence of Takada Yukino-sama.
We were brought by her to serve Odai, and the only thing we can betray is our loyalty like Takada Yukino-sama!
Therefore, Lord Yukino Takada must be our spiritual leader. We must be sad and angry, and we must avenge her at all costs!
Only in this way can we have a place in the heart of Dagotai Institute, and we can firmly grasp the current treatment.
We are the most loyal and trustworthy eagle dogs of Da Yu Tai Institute. The Yagyu group and the confidentiality group may have selfish motives, but we definitely don’t!
Your Majesty, we are the Rensheng wolves! "
Okita Souji understood somewhat and nodded.
"That's why Kondo-hime went to negotiate with Momochi Santaifu and Yagyu Munenomi as soon as possible, facing them with the toughest attitude, and showing our obedient attitude towards Odaisho?"
Kondo Isamu and Hijikata Toizo looked at each other and smiled.
“This was Hijikata-hime’s idea.
When we first arrived, we were most afraid of others stumbling upon us behind our backs. We have no retreat. We must complete the tasks assigned by Odai. One wrong step will lead to an abyss. "
