The attack on the "Golden Seal Noble Council" only happened in a short period of time...
Originally, everyone was discussing the matter of the Kuchiki family, but the head of the Yagyu family still advocated calling Byakuya Kuchiki over and asking him what was going on with his sister.
But at this moment, a burst of spiritual pressure suddenly burst out from outside...
In the blink of an eye, several representatives of the great nobles were "shot" or rather "stabbed" through them!
Although the murderer left immediately after attacking from a distance, he had no intention of hiding his identity. Many people saw it... It was Ichimaru Gin, the captain of the third division of the Gotei 13.
The attack injured several people and killed one person - it was none other than the head of the Shifengyuan family, Taichi Shifengyuan, who had just returned to the "Golden Seal Noble Council"!
Back then, after Yoruichi's defection, the situation of the Shihoin family, although better than before the decline of the Shiha family, was also greatly reduced. Fortunately, they changed their strategy in time, embraced the small and medium-sized nobles, and gave up their seats in the "Golden Seal Noble Council" , and then vigorously competed for seats in "Room 46"...
After more than a hundred years of rest and recuperation, the family head of Sifengyuan finally returned to the "Golden Seal Noble Council" ten years ago, with even greater momentum than before.
It's a pity that now...
"Stop, the congressmen didn't send an order. Why did the people from the Gotei 13 come without an order!"
Outside the Golden Seal Noble Council, guards stopped the people who were monitoring the troops.
But at this moment, Yilong arrived...
"It's me! What's going on?" Ichiryu was now wearing the Death Overlord uniform of the Gotei Thirteenth Division, and Haori, the captain of the supervisory unit.
However, after seeing clearly that the person who came was Yilong from Si Feng Yuan, the guard hesitated for a moment, stood at attention and saluted: "Sir Si Feng Yuan!" Then he said: "Crazy men just attacked the Golden Seal Noble Council, the master of Si Feng Yuan... …”
"Damn it! Patriarch, Patriarch..." Yilong yelled and rushed in directly.
The guard hesitated for a moment, but still did not stop him.
After all, although Shifengin Ichiryu is the vice-captain of the Gotei 13, he is... also a prominent figure in the Shifengin clan!
If it was Byakuya Kuchiki, he wouldn't even have to hesitate and just invite him in.
As for why the "Golden Seal Noble Council" was attacked, the Gotei 13 were not notified immediately, and they were even vaguely repelled by them?
Yilong can naturally understand...
Since the Holy War, in the millennium, although there has been no external war at the level of the Holy War, the internal political situation in the Seireitei has been treacherous and changing, and it is by no means peaceful.
[If you want to protect the king and the five princes, you should kill all the enemies in the shadow of the leaves] - This was the slogan of old man Yamamoto when he formed the Gotei 13 and established the Shino Spiritual Arts Institute, and it remained the slogan for a long time. The oaths taken by the Shinigami from the Mao Spiritual Arts Academy when they graduate and join the team.
But it has been changed a long time ago...
After all, the "One King" has not appeared for a long time, not to mention that among the five nobles referred to by the "Five Lords", the Shiba family has been deprived of their nobility qualifications, and even their descendants, like the untouchables of Rukongai, are prohibited from entering the Seireitei. , it can be said that he did not save any face.
Although the other four nobles are still standing and can still "bully men and dominate women," their status as the "five pillars" of thousands of years ago has long been far inferior.
In the holy war a thousand years ago, the ancient nobles headed by the five great nobles, in order to fight against the Quincy, made the "civilian death god class" appear in Seireitei, and then created a group of emerging nobles. So far, the small and medium-sized nobles have taken advantage of the situation to rise, crowding out some of the big nobles. Exclusive authority.
The Shiba family is an extreme example, and the other four families of Kuchiki, Shifengin, Tsunayashiro, and Yagyu have also shrunk in power. (Note 1)
Even the Kuchiki family, the head of the five great nobles at that time, had already been beaten. Hundreds of years ago, they had disputes with many nobles. Not only did Byakuya's father, the orthodox heir of the Kuchiki family, die inexplicably, but also his strength. The powerful son-in-law was also framed and sealed...
Nowadays, the Forty-sixth Chamber actually holds the power of trial, and even has the command power of the Gotei Thirteen Team, but most of the seats are given to small and medium-sized nobles!
There are only a small number of old-fashioned nobles who do not know how to adapt, and they still cling to the "Golden Seal Noble Council", and they feel the loss of actual power - just like now, the Forty-sixth Chamber has issued an order, and the Gotei Thirteenth Team have all Preparations for the execution were already in full swing, and they still held a meeting here.
…
Yilong looked at the body of Shifengyuan Taichi and couldn't help but feel sad. The other members looked at Yilong with different expressions, but when he looked up, everyone comforted him with kind words.
"Ichiryu, we are also deeply saddened by the death of the master of the Shifouin family. However, the most urgent task is to arrest the wanted murderer Ichimaru Gin, and to clarify his motives and whether there are other masterminds behind it... You usually serve in the Gotei 13 , and he has a supervisory role, are there any clues?"
At this time, a long-haired middle-aged man with a very majestic appearance and very old-fashioned clothes asked Yilong very seriously - the reason why he called him "Yilong" was not because of how close the two were, but... ...If you call them by their last names, it would be too hard to tell who is who here!
Hearing this voice, everyone immediately got out of the way, after all...
This majestic man was only about 1.23 meters tall. If he didn't get out of the way, Yilong really wouldn't be able to see him.
"Back to the head of the Yagyu family, Ichimaru Gin's deputy captain. He was imprisoned for inciting internal strife. Ichimaru Gin was suspected of robbing a prison. He has been unable to be contacted for two days." Yilong answered honestly.
"Can't contact me? Isn't he wanted?"
"What? What the hell is Yamamoto doing! No one has been arrested for two days?"
"These mud-legged people are really untrustworthy..."
Upon hearing that the nobles blamed their respected Captain Yamamoto for this, Yilong immediately explained: "Captain Yamamoto has also been executing the orders of the 46th Chamber recently. Due to the travel accident, the 46th Chamber will mention the execution time. Mention it again..."
Hearing Yilong's explanation, the nobles were even more happy to blame him - after all, some people had long been unhappy with the nouveau riche seats in "Mao No. 46 Room".
"It is indeed sad that the head of the Sifengyuan family died unfortunately, but the Sifengyuan family should also be prepared... Now the Sifengyuan family has an inheritance system based on merit, right? As the first heir, the family governor is in Zhenyang Room 46, we should report it immediately so that we can continue the inheritance." A middle-aged nobleman with a pale face and shaved eyebrows, with only two points left, stared at Yilong and said in a commanding tone.
"That's our Sifengyuan's family affairs, don't worry about Tsuna Yadai, the head of the family!" Yilong's face suddenly became stern.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
————
Note 1: Because the last one of the five nobles has never appeared, it is estimated that it will not be updated in a few years, so... the original one belongs to the Yagyu family.
Well, looking at the setting of "The Head of the Yagyu Family", you should also know that the one who was brought here to make up the numbers is not a serious Yagyu family. The prototype is the Yagyu family in "Gintama". There is a prototype that looks more friendly.
