Don't break the barrier.
Toki Noraijun's face was full of exhaustion after sleeping in the open air.
To be honest, it is not easy to escape from Dasang City. If it hadn't been for Toki Noratake who left a group of loyal and brave close men for Toki Norajun during his lifetime, I am afraid Toki Norajun would have died in the siege of Daisang City.
"Lord, this is where the Kyogoku family's main formation is. Do you want to notify the Kyogoku family to come and greet you?" A samurai wearing large armor asked beside Toki Yorijun.
Before the samurai could finish speaking, Toki Yorijun had already dismounted from his horse. As he walked forward, he said, "My family has fallen to this point. Do we still need to put on the air of protecting Mino?"
"It's all just a show, and it's a waste of time for the reinforcements!"
Hearing Toki Norijun's words, the samurai nodded happily and followed quickly.
Hearing that Toki Yorijun had arrived at Fuwa Seki in person, Kyogoku Gaomasa did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered Hatayama Chaobu to prepare meals, and then came out to greet him personally. But at this moment, Toki Norijun had arrived at the door, which surprised Kyogoku Takamasa.
"Oh my, why didn't Toki-den send a retainer to inform you in advance? This is really rude." Although Toki Noraijun is not very old, his apparent identity is comparable to Kyogoku Takahiro, Kyogoku Takamasa. I don't dare to put on any airs.
Toki Norizumi waved his hand, and before everyone could sit down, he asked eagerly: "Now that all the counties of Mino have fallen into the hands of my uncle, I wonder what Sakyou can teach me when he enters the palace?"
"Don't worry Toki-don. The Asakura family's reinforcements will arrive in the near future. We will help Toki-don retake Mino by then!" Kyogoku Takamasa said casually.
"I have heard about Sakyo's entry into the palace for a long time, and I have been trapped in a corner of Daosang City. However, I have also heard about Omi Yasha Saburo's name! Today, I came to visit regardless of my identity. My frankness can be seen in the world. Is this what Sakyo wants to do when he enters the palace? Do you want to deal with me with perfunctory words?" Toki Norijun was a little angry.
Hearing these words, Kyogoku Takamasa took a good look at Toki Norijun for the first time.
Due to age and development, Toki Noraijun is at least a head shorter than Kyogoku Takamasa. However, there is a pair of determined eyes on his childish face, and there is something extraordinary about his conversation.
It seems that in history, Saito Michizan assassinated Toki Yorijun, his son-in-law, partly for this reason. Perhaps Toki Norizumi's ability is not very strong, but it is already quite extraordinary for the Toki family, which has produced several generations of mediocre masters.
If he wanted to control Mino, such a young and vindictive leader would definitely not be tolerated by Saito Dosan, even though Toki Yorijun had already married Saito Dosan's daughter Gui Die at that time.
"Sakyo enters the palace, my lord always regards you as an example. Now I come to visit you regardless of the danger, and I hope that Sakyo enters the palace and will not hesitate to teach me!" The samurai sitting next to Toki Yorijun also spoke up.
"Well, in that case, I will tell you whatever Tokiden wants to ask!" Kyogoku Takamasa then put away his previous casualness.
Toki Nori straightened up his clothes, and then asked with a serious face: "May I ask Sakyo to enter the palace, if we can win this battle?"
"After winning, can our family successfully take back Meinong?"
"How can we revitalize our name after taking back Meinong?"
The three questions that Toki Norizumi asked in succession stunned Kyogoku Takamasa, but at the same time Kyogoku Takamasa also heard the urgency and confusion in Toki Yorijun's words.
This is an ambitious young man who is determined to revitalize his family name, but the situation at home and the actual situation really gave Toki Noraijun a severe blow. How similar is all this to Kyogoku Takamasa who just traveled through time?
At this moment, a certain part of Kyogoku Takamasa's heart was even touched by Toki Yorijun's words.
"To be honest, I don't know how to answer the third question of Toqi Palace, but I have one sentence that I would like to share with Toqi Palace!"
"What words?"
"It all depends on man!"
"Since Tokiden is determined to revitalize the family name, then don't worry too much and just go ahead and do it. A few years ago, I felt the same as Tokiden at this time. But after so many years, looking back on the past, I can't help but sigh, everything depends on man-made efforts. ah!"
"Listening to your words will enlighten me!"
"In this case, I will go all out in this battle, and I will also ask the Kyogoku family to help me. I am very grateful!" Toki Norizumi said excitedly.
Kyogoku Takamasa nodded slightly, "This is natural. Besides, there are reinforcements from the Asakura family behind us. The enemy and our forces are roughly equal. We will definitely go all out in this battle." "In fact, I am here. I have a heartfelt request!" At this time, Toki Yaizumi suddenly showed a shy look.
Kyogoku Takamasa was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's okay to say it, Toki-don."
"I am here to ask Sakyo to enter the palace and tell Kyogoku Musashi, the guardian of the palace, that I would like to marry the daughter of the Kyogoku clan as our main wife, and we also ask the Kyogoku clan to agree."
"What?" After hearing Toki Noraijun's words, Kyogoku Takamasa's expression changed, but then he fell silent.
After hesitating for a moment, Kyogoku Takamasa politely rejected Toki Yorijun's proposal.
Nonsense, Kyogoku Takamasa has long known that Toki Yorijun's boat is a broken ship. How could he tie the Kyogoku family to it? It was Kyogoku Takahiro's own decision to send troops to support Toki Yorijun, and Kyogoku Takamasa's original intention was just to see if he could find some allies for the Kyogoku family in this matter, such as Echizen's Asahi Cang family.
Although the Hosokawa family is now at its peak, Kyogoku Takamasa knows that the big tree of Hosokawa Harumoto has not been able to nourish its life for a few days. Moreover, the focus of the Hosokawa family is on Kinai at this time, and it cannot really help the Kyogoku family in Omi. Got any real help.
Now that the Kyogoku family has captured Wakasa, if they want to continue to develop in the next step, they must bid farewell to the previous situation of fighting alone. After all, the Kyogoku family will no longer be jumping around Omi in the future.
The most important thing is that Kyogoku Takamasa knows that Mino will be a whirlpool in the next ten years. With the current strength of the Kyogoku family, they cannot monopolize this piece of fat. Otherwise, Kyogoku Takamasa would not mind letting Mino become a whirlpool. Toki Yorijun is Nobuo Takeda second!
Therefore, Kyogoku Gaomasa must sternly refuse.
Seeing Kyogoku's resolute attitude, Toki Yorizumi looked disappointed. Afterwards, he discussed some details about the upcoming war with Kyogoku Takamasa and left. However, before leaving, Kyogoku Takamasa suggested that Toki Yorijun could send someone to Beijing to reconcile with the Hosokawa family, which might be helpful to Toki Yorijun. help.
Toki Yorijun expressed his gratitude to Kyogoku Takamasa for his advice, and then left Fuwa Seki with his accompanying retainers.
After walking out of the gate, the samurai following Toki Norijun asked again, "My lord, the Kyogoku family rejected my marriage request, but I am not very disappointed to see my lord. On the contrary... I am a little bit disappointed." Happy?"
"Deha Mamoru, the talk of marriage with the Kyogoku family is just a test by my family."
"Testing?" Xiaosato Mitsuzada was even more puzzled.
Toki Norizumi held the rein tightly and walked slowly, "Marriage has advantages and disadvantages. If the main family is strong, the benefits will be greater. Now that the main family is weak, the disadvantages will outweigh the benefits."
"Both the Asakura family and the Rokkaku family are trying to control Mino under such a guise. Marrying with them will undoubtedly attract wolves into the house!"
"My family and the Kyogoku family are neither allies nor related by marriage. This time the Kyogoku family actually sent troops to help. I have to test it out and want to know if the Kyogoku family is also interested in Mino."
"If Kyogoku Sakyoushin agrees to the marriage today, wouldn't it prove that the Kyogoku family has ulterior motives? In this way, our family will deal with it carefully in the future." Toki Yorijun's strategizing expression made Mitsutada Kosato on the side shout "Toki" There is hope for the revival of the family.
But I don’t know what Kyogoku Takamasa would think if he heard this.
Boy, you really think too much...
