Lin Zhengxin felt that he had encountered a mental retard.
This guy was jumping up and down crying and laughing, sometimes stamping his feet and sighing, sometimes bursting into tears, and even looked at himself with a strange look. In short, Lin Zhengxin felt that he was a little panicked.
"Please leave your name. I will repay you for the kindness I received from you today."
Kyogoku Takahiro wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stepped forward to hold Lin Zhengxin's hand. The corner of his mouth twitched twice, and then he said, "Do you know the news about the Kyogoku family?"
"Has Shangheiji Castle been attacked by the Rokkaku family?"
"How is my son Sakyou doing?"
"Did the Rokkaku family go on a killing spree?"
Lin Zhengxin was stunned at first, and then showed a strange look on his face.
Just as he was about to answer, in Kyogoku Takahiro's eyes, Lin Zhengxin's "expression" seemed to have said everything.
"Is this really the case?" Kyogoku Takahiro seemed to have lost his soul, "I knew I shouldn't have gone to Kyoto! If I were in charge at home, would Rokkaku Dingyan dare to raise troops to go north?"
"They must have sent troops because they saw that I was not in their territory."
"It's a pity that my son, who is only a weakling, suffered this disaster today!" As he spoke, Kyogoku Takahiro couldn't help but burst into tears, "It's my fault, Kyogoku Takahiro!"
Mrs. Kotogawa on the side didn't know what was going on for a while, but when she heard what Kyogoku Takahiro said, because Kyogoku Takamasa had been killed, she suddenly fainted. The maid next to her also remembers crying loudly, and she was at a loss surrounding Mrs. Kotokawa.
The accompanying bannermen also had different expressions on their faces, and stood there for a moment at a loss.
Lin Zhengxin took two steps forward speechlessly, stood next to Kyogoku Takahiro, and then put his hand in front of his mouth like a trumpet, "Your Excellency, can you please listen to me and finish what I'm saying!"
"What the hell is Shangheiji Castle! What a weak old age!"
"The Asai family won the battle of Uchiho Kawara. As for the Kyogoku family you mentioned, that was the final winner!"
"First, they took advantage of the battle between the Rokkaku family and the Asai family to attack Kamama Castle. Then, after the Asai family's victory, they forced the Asai family to retreat and then forced the Hori clan to surrender. Now the entire Sakata County belongs to the Kyogoku family!"
"What a great Sakyo Susumu Kyogoku!"
"What a great Yasha Saburo!"
"Sure enough, there are no deceitful people under the great reputation. It is a pity that such a heroic figure cannot meet. It is really a great regret in life!"
After hearing Lin Zhengxin's words, Kyogoku Takahiro suddenly felt that there was some chaos inside me.
No, I have to figure it out first.
"Your Excellency, you are saying that the Rokkaku family lost this battle and the Asai family won?"
"That's true of the battle between Uchiho and Kawara, but looking at the overall situation, it was the Kyogoku family that had the last laugh! After all, the Asai family and the Rokkaku family lost each other in the battle, but gained nothing."
"And the Kyogoku family captured Kaname Castle without any effort and captured the tens of thousands of stones held by the Hori clan. It can be said that they gained a huge advantage."
"I heard that Your Excellency is so concerned about the affairs of the Kyogoku family. Could it be that you are members of the Kyogoku family?" Lin Zhengxin looked longingly at a bulge on the body of the maid beside him, with some kind of longing in his eyes.
Seeing Lin Zhengxin staring at the bag containing rice balls on his maid's body, Kyogoku Takahiro quickly stepped forward and took out a few more rice balls and handed them to Lin Zhengxin.
"Oh my, it turns out that the Kyogoku family is fine, so I feel at ease."
"To be honest, I am the head of the Kyogoku family, Kyogoku Musashi Mamoru, and the one you mentioned as Yashasaburo is Inuko. Hahahaha." Kyogoku Takahiro smiled with a smile on his face, feeling particularly comfortable.
I thought that due to the strength of the Rokkaku family, neither the Asai family nor the Kyogoku family in Kitaomi could escape this disaster. Unexpectedly, the Rokkaku family was no match for the Asai family and was defeated first.
What was even more unexpected was that Kyogoku Takamasa actually took advantage of the chaos to seize Kamabana Castle and other places, which was simply an unexpected surprise.
"You are worthy of being the son of my Kyogoku Musashi Mamoru. Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog sons. The ancients have never deceived me!" Kyogoku Takahiro exclaimed in admiration while stroking a bunch of beard on his chin.
Lin Zhengxin paused while biting the rice ball, looked at Kyogoku Takahiro and said, "I didn't expect Kyogoku Musashi Mamoru, the father of Yashasaburo, who is famous far and near, to be so good. Could it be that there are rumors that Kyogoku Sakyo Shin is not Musashi Mamoru's son?" Is it true?"
Ever since Kyogoku Takamasa began to rise to fame, various rumors have followed one after another, and the most widely circulated rumor is that Kyogoku Takamasa is not the son of Kyogoku Takahiro.
After all, Kyogoku Takahiro is a good-for-nothing, but his son Kyogoku Takahiro is so NB, it is impossible no matter how you look at it.
Of course, these rumors are just after-dinner talk and cannot be brought to the table. Moreover, it is impossible for Lin Zhengxin to dare to discuss such an issue in front of Kyogoku Takahiro.
Although he felt a lot of emotion in his heart, Lin Zhengxin continued to squat on the ground and eat rice balls.
Hmm...it smells so good!
.....
Shangping Temple City.
After the Asai and Rokkaku families retreated, Kyogoku Takahiro left Kyogoku Takakatsu and others to continue guarding Kamabana Castle and other places, while he returned to Kamiheiji Castle.
With this plan, Kyogoku Takamasa almost achieved all of his goals. Not only did he capture the Hori family in one fell swoop, he also took advantage of the situation and brought Imai and other people under the Kyogoku family's command, completely controlling the entire Sakata County.
With 60,000 koku from Sakata County and more than 10,000 koku from Takashima County, the Kyogoku family now controls a territory of nearly 70,000 koku, and finally has a firm foothold in Omi. A full seven years have passed since the time when Gao Zheng traveled through the capital in the fourth year of Dayong to the fourth year of Xianglu.
It’s really not easy!
The heads of wealthy families such as Anyangji, Kamisaka, Shimoban, and Mitamura came to Kamheiji Castle to congratulate the high-ranking minister Kyoto, and sent their male members of the right age to Kameiji Castle to serve as minor surnames and close associates to show their loyalty.
Shangheiji Castle is a standard mountain city. The Kyogoku family's residence was destroyed by fire two years ago and has now been moved outside the city.
Kyogoku Takamasa considers that after the Kyogoku family develops in the future, the location of Heiji Castle will no longer be enough to serve as the Kyogoku clan's residence, so he is planning to move in the past two days.
Shangheiji Castle is located in the eastern part of Sakata County, close to Mino Country, and is only five miles away from Sekigahara, where the famous Battle of Sekigahara broke out in history. Compared to the entire Omi, it is too remote.
Moreover, as a mountain city, Kameiji Castle is small and inconvenient for development. There are no two castle towns outside the city. Only Joheiji Temple has a Monzen Town, and its scale is pitifully small. Sometimes if you want to buy something, you have to ask someone to go to Kannonji Castle to buy it, which is really inconvenient.
So Kyogoku Takamasa decided to move after much thought.
"Lord, the main hall is back!"
Just as Kyogoku Takamasa was immersed in thought in front of a map, Asanobu Yamayama strode in from outside.
Before Kyogoku Takamasa could react, Kyogoku Takahiro's voice came from outside.
"Haha! As expected of my son, Kyogoku Takahiro, this battle was really beautiful, hahahaha!"
Kyogoku Takahiro simply didn't expect that after he went to Kyoto, not only did the Hori family have ten thousand koku more when he came back, but there was also ten thousand koku from Takashima County next door?
This surprise was a bit big, and it came so suddenly that Kyogoku Takahiro didn't quite believe that what he was seeing was real.
Is my Kyogoku family finally going to stand up?
