A dream start?

nonexistent!

When Master Saburo (he will always use the name Saburo from now on) learned some information from the mother of his own body, Mrs. Kotokawa, in various ways, Master Saburo simply wanted to kill someone!

First of all, there is good news and bad news in front of Master Sanlang!

Let’s talk about the good news first!

Master Saburo is a direct descendant of the Kyogoku family, the guardian of the Kitaomi region. His grandfather is the governor of the Kyogoku family, Kyogoku Takahiro, and his father is Kyogoku Takahiro, the eldest son of Kyogoku. In terms of origin, the Kyogoku family is a well-known martial arts family and a pillar of the shogunate!

The Kyogoku family was one of the "three administrators and four officials" of the Muromachi shogunate. At its peak, the Kyogoku family had a large territory and held the guardianship of the four kingdoms of Omi, Hida, Izumo, and Oki. As a veteran guardian daimyo, coupled with a prominent family name, he is completely a boss-level existence in this era!

However, the bad news is that Master Saburo traveled through the wrong era!

If he had been born a few decades earlier, maybe the Kyogoku family would still be the boss! But as of now, the Kyogoku family has been reduced to nothing more than a salted fish! And all of this stems from another civil strife.

During the Onin Rebellion, Kyogoku Mochikiyo, the head of the Kyogoku family, belonged to the Eastern Army. However, he died of illness during the expedition against the Rokkaku family of the Western Army. Kyogoku Mochikiyo's eldest son Kyogoku Katsuhide died early, and was eventually succeeded by Kyogoku Katsuhide's son Sundōjimaru. But Son Doujimaru was only four years old, and the power in the family was ousted by his uncle Kyogoku Masaki (Kyogoku Mochikiyo Sano) and his retainer Takatada Taga!

And Sun Tongziwan was also frail and sick, and he died within two years!

During this period, Kyogoku Katsuhide's other son Otojimaru (Kyogoku HD) was supported by the Western Army boss Rokkaku Takayori and joined the Western Army camp. The Kyogoku political party was expelled from Omi by the Western Army and fled to Izumo.

After that, the Kyogoku family was divided into two (historically known as the Kyogoku Sao Rebellion).

In the 18th year of the Civilization, Kyogoku Masaki came to Luo from Izumo, and then secretly contacted Kyogoku's retainer Taga Munenao, and started a rebellion in Omi. At that time, Kyogoku's main wife was the daughter of Saito Myojun, the guardian of Mino next door, so Kyogoku received support from the Saito family.

In the end, this civil strife ended with Kyogoku HD's victory. However, because of this civil strife, the Kyogoku family declined, Izumo was stolen by the Nizi family, and Hida fell into the hands of others. In the end, only the northern half of the country was left.

Today, civil strife breaks out again in the Kyogoku family. The reasons for the civil unrest can be attributed to two points.

First, it was Kyogoku's doting on retainer Nobumitsu Uesaka, which caused dissatisfaction among Kyogoku's retainers. The second is that Kyogoku Takayoshi does not like his eldest son Kyogoku Takahiro, and wants to make his second son Kyogoku Takayoshi his heir.

So the retainers who were dissatisfied with Kyogoku's high-definition colluded with Kyogoku Takahiro and launched this civil strife that lasted for a year! And as of today, this civil strife seems to be coming to an end!

Outside the city of Shangheiji Temple, inside the Kyogoku Takahiro main formation.

After reading the letter in his hand that had just been sent from the city, General Kyogoku Takahiro breathed a long sigh of relief. The letter was written by Kyogoku Takahiro himself. The main message is that Master Saburo and Mrs. Kotogawa are very safe now. If Kyogoku Takahiro can agree to let Kyogoku Takahiro and Kyogoku Takayoshi and his son live, then Master Saburo and Mrs. Kotogawa will be safe. was handed into the hands of Kyogoku Takahiro.

"Everyone, my father just sent me a letter, stating that as long as I let my father and Nagato Mamoru (Kyogoku Takayoshi) leave, my wife can be kept safe!" Kyogoku Takahiro spread out the letter in his hand and said with relief.

Mrs. Kotogawa's real name is Aqin, and she is a member of the Kyogoku retainer Akao clan. After hearing what Kyogoku Takahiro said, the head of the Akao family, Akao Kiyoshi, also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that my sister is fine!"

"Is His Highness planning to let the Guardian Lord and Nagato Mamoru go?" A middle-aged samurai sitting on the other side looked a little unkind.

Kyogoku Takahiro nodded, "It concerns my wife's safety, so I can only do this!"

"How can Your Highness let the tiger go back to the mountains?"

"After this battle, my father has lost all his troops, and Kitaomi no longer has half of his territory. There is no threat to us anymore! You are worrying too much about Mamori!" Kyogoku Takahiro doesn't think so. Said with interest.

Just as Asami Sadatori was about to get angry, another samurai sitting next to Asami Sadatori took Asami Sadatori's hand and said, "Tatsuma Mamoru, pay attention to the situation!"

"Humph!" Asami Sadatori groaned, and then sat down again, but what no one noticed was that Asami Sadatori's eyes were filled with hatred!

The samurai who had previously held Asami Sadatori's hand continued to say, "Musashi Morden (Kyogoku Takahiro) is concerned about the safety of his wife. This is understandable! But even if he wants to let go of the guardians and Nagato Mamoru, We can no longer let these two people stay in Omi!"

"What's the point of guarding the Bizen Temple?" Kyogoku Takahiro said looking at Asai Ryomasa.

"I think it's okay to banish the guardian-sama and Nagato-sama to Owari. I wonder what everyone here thinks?" Ryomasa Asai looked around and then said.

"I agree with Bizen's words of guarding the palace!" The speaker was Aguki Sadashige, the lord of Yamamotoyama Castle.

"I have no objections!" the head of the Yumori family, Yumori Teji, also said.

Soon, unanimous approval echoed within the formation.

Seeing that the retainers all agreed to banish Kyogoku Takahiro and Kyogoku Takayoshi, Kyogoku Takahiro no longer had any worries, as long as they did not harm their lives!

"In that case, let's inform Father of our decision!"

Three days later.

The king's flag changes at the top of Shangheiji Castle, ushering in a new master! Kyogoku Takahiro successfully exiled Kyogoku Takahiro, Kyogoku Takayoshi and his son, and took control of the Kamiheiji Castle. After the celebration banquet, the people from various countries who participated in this ceremony went back to their homes and looked for their mothers.

Master Sanlang also gradually adjusted his mentality and began to face the "bleak life" head-on.

With an uneasy mood and confusion about the future, Master Saburo began to wander around Shanghei Temple City.

Shangheiji Castle is a small mountain city named after a nearby temple called Shangheiji Temple. Although he has small arms and legs, Master Sanlang still quickly finished visiting the city.

Returning to the Kyogoku Hall with a bored look on his face, Master Kyogoku Saburo threw aside the muddy straw sandals on his feet, then trotted to the kitchen, picked up two rice balls, and gnawed them. After living here for two days, Master Sanlang has become familiar with everything here.

"Master Saburo-den, you came here to steal rice balls again. If Changshan-den finds out, you will be scolded again!" Seeing Master Kyogoku Saburo coming to steal rice balls again, she has been the cook of the Kyogoku family since she was a child. Ah Chun couldn't help but joked.

Nagayama-den is the royal wife of Kyogoku HD, the princess of the Saito family from Mino. It is said that because she was born in Mino Nagayama Castle, she was called Nagayama Princess. Of course, for the servants, they can only call her Mrs. Changshan or Changshan Palace.

After hearing what Achun said, Master Kyogoku Saburo quickly showed a flattering expression, "Miss Achun, you're the best, don't tell grandma, okay?"

The two Tianjing Ji Gaoguang were invited to the upper city of Asami Sadatori's residence. It is said that Asami Sadatori had important matters to discuss. Mrs. Qinchuan also went back to her parents' home to visit relatives, so there were only two people in the family, Chang Shanden and Master Sanlang. However, Changshan Hall worships Buddha all year round and does not mind these nosy matters at all. This is why Master Sanlang lets himself go.

"It's delicious! But why do you miss the taste of spicy strips?" He stretched out his finger to wipe away the little girl juice on the corner of his mouth, then put his hand back into his mouth, feeling the sour and sweet taste on his tongue. With the sweet taste, Master Sanlang couldn't help but miss the spicy noodles of later generations.

Master Saburo is very cute, and he is usually "well-behaved and sensible", so Achun took another piece of rice ball and handed it to Master Kyogoku Saburo's hand, then he closed the lid and said, "Okay, this is The last one!”

"Miss Achun is the best!" Of course, if you get the advantage, you must behave well. He made a face at Achun, and Master Kyogoku Saburo rushed into the yard holding the rice ball high.

And when they arrived at a deserted corner, the smile on Master Saburo's face gradually disappeared.

"Oh! Where is the dream start you promised? This is obviously a salted fish, right?" After finding a comfortable position in the courtyard and lying down, Master Kyogoku Saburo looked up at the bright sky and was stunned.
