Sibo Yiyin was greedy for a moment, and in order to take the initiative in negotiations, he played a miracle.
He did get the imperial white flag as a matter of course, but he was also considered by the Kanto warriors to be the flag bearer who led them and led the lost Guan Bazhou to glory again.
Hidden behind this huge honor are expectations. If Yiyin cannot respond to their expectations, the huge disappointment after the expectations will be enough to knock Yiyin off the pedestal and into the abyss.
He sighed deeply, not knowing what to do, just take it one step at a time.
———
There was mist in the wild hot spring, and Terutora Uesugi was sitting in the water, staring at the curtain in front of him in a daze.
The hot spring pool was only two or three meters in diameter. The temperature of the hot spring was a bit high, and the smell of sulfur stimulated the blood vessels in her nasal cavity.
Terutora Uesugi pondered, how long has it been since the last time he and Yoshigan Shiba went out together?
Thinking of the mixed bathing in the same pool last year, she could feel the smell of blood rising in her nose, and she felt a faint desire to spray nosebleeds.
Hearing the bowing greetings from the hatmons outside, Uesugi Teruhora perked up and looked up.
The soup pool is divided into two by the curtain, and a figure looms on the other side, just like a silhouette play on the wall, leaving people with infinite fantasy.
With the sound of splashing water, the strong figure on the curtain disappeared into the water, leaving only a few shadows.
"Your Highness Uesugi, I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Yoshigan's voice came from the other side of the curtain, causing Uesugi Teruhora to subconsciously lower his head and bow slightly, and said.
"Mr. Qianxin is very polite, thank you for accepting my invitation.
Kanto is bitterly cold, and the cold air entering the bones is very harmful to the body. Soaking in hot springs in winter is also a way to keep fit.
hope you'll like it."
After Uesugi Teruhora finished speaking, he took a greedy breath of the sulfur-smelling mist, as if he could taste a hint of righteous silver from it, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
She didn't know that just when she was distracted, Sibo Yiyin across from her was also feeling uncomfortable.
Although there is a curtain dividing the two ends, the diameter of the soup pool is only two or three meters. The white cloth of this era is far less thick than that of the industrial era. Not only can it not block light, it is even somewhat see-through.
Opposite him, Shan Huihu's exquisite figure was vaguely visible in Yiyin's eyes. Being completely naked is not a temptation, only half-covering it can easily make people's blood flow and arouse the desire in the heart.
After taking a few deep breaths, he suppressed the urge to lift the white cloth.
Yiyin told herself, I am no longer the me who could have sex casually. Even if I don't have to protect my body in my life, this woman can't move. If she does, she will be in big trouble.
There are no special effects in his career, but the warrior Ji who made Yiyin strong, thought that he was using force on Yiyin.
Does this special effect mean anything to Terutora Uesugi? Yes? No. Is it possible that Yoshigage could cry afterwards and force her to do things for him and bow to him?
The most likely outcome is that Terutora Uesugi used this opportunity to force Yoshigami to marry him, which would really cost him his life.
Feeling the heavy breathing on the other side, Uesugi Teruhu asked with concern.
"Is Mr. Qianxin feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
She took a few steps closer and even put her hand on the middle curtain, which frightened Yiyin and said quickly.
"I'm fine, don't come over."
As Terutora Uesugi gets closer, the figure reflected on the curtain becomes more and more real. Although she is petite, her legs are convex and long, and her proportions are really perfect and top-grade.
Soaking in the warm water, Yoshigami even felt a heat flowing down his lower body. He was so frightened that he quickly shouted at Uesugi Teruhu, fearing that if he couldn't help it, he would rush forward and kill him.
This bloody body really cannot withstand the temptation.
Uesugi Teruhu, who was opposite him, didn't know Yoshigan's thoughts, and his face looked a little gloomy. She put down her hand, walked slowly back to the corner, and squatted down.
The body wrapped and moistened by the hot springs could not cure her depressed mood. Uesugi Teruhu looked at the black shadow on the cloth and said slowly.
"I just care about you and don't mean to take advantage of you."
Yiyin laughed to himself.
"I know."
Nonsense, I took all my clothes off that day and you didn’t even want to fuck me. Of course I believe you! But I don’t believe in myself!
If I can't help but fall in love with you, you will think that you have fallen in love with me, and you will not be able to live this life!
The two sides were in embarrassment and remained silent for an unknown length of time. Uesugi Teruhu slowly spoke and changed the topic.
“This trip to Kamakura was truly magical.
Traditional etiquette always says that we should respect heaven and ancestors and know how to revere them, but we have never seen heaven respond and ancestors appear.
This time, it was indeed an eye-opener.”
This miracle not only brought tremendous pressure to Yoshibank, but it also made Terutora Uesugi feel extremely anxious.
Originally, she just wanted to take advantage of Ashikaga Yoshiki and have sex with her man. Ashikaga General was already dead, how could he get up and get angry again? Who else would stand up for the dead man?
Unexpectedly, the ancestor of the Genji family in Kawachi appeared.
Yoshigan Shiba's status as a direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji originates from the marriage contract of Ashikaga Yoshiteru. He is the unmarried husband of Ashikaga Shogun and the most noble widow in the world.
The royal white flag of the Minamoto Yoshi family of Hachiman Tai Ni gave Yoshigashi Shiba the status of a god and also made his marriage more sensitive.
In the past, when Terutora Uesugi wanted to join Ashikaga Shogun, the Uesugi retainers could only nag a few words. Isn't that bad?
Now? Our ancestors are watching from heaven!
The melancholy in Terutora Uesugi's tone made Yoshigan breathe a sigh of relief.
With the blessings of our ancestors, there is finally a chain that can tie up this wanton dragon of Echigo. The Kanto samurai family's deification of their status as flag bearers is of some use.
Yoshigan thought for a while, but decided not to overly provoke Terutora Uesugi and continued to change the topic.
"I was not expecting the miracles at Baiqi Shrine. Whether it will be a blessing or a disaster in the future is yet to be determined.
However, being able to get Hojo Ujiyasu to bow his head can be considered a good thing for the time being."
Teruhora Uesugi narrowed his eyes and snorted.
"Hojo Ujiyasu, I guess she knows the truth. If she hadn't come here quickly, I would have had to go back to Odawara Castle to settle the score with her."
Yoshigan was on the other end, already rolling his eyes. Teru Uesugi was so pretentious, he was so stubborn.
At that time, the Kwantung Allied Forces had been cleverly dismantled by Hojo Genan, and even the samurai who chose to stay had many concerns.
The army is panicked and the people are divided. Why should they return to Odawara Castle to show off their power?
If Yoshigan hadn't played a miracle from heaven, Teruhora Uesugi might have run away in despair in the end, which would have been a huge loss.
Hojo clan bowed her head, it was because she had a deep understanding of the nature of the Kanto samurai family, and she knew very well what the return of Taro Hachiman with the white flag to the world meant to the Bando Hime warriors.
With the support of Yoshigan Shiba's Imperial White Flag, Terutora Uesugi's legitimacy was unshakable. The Hojo family's idea of splitting the two Kantos was destined to not receive the support of the Kanhachishu samurai family.
In this case, it is understandable that she simply came to bow her head and offer her sword to take the initiative.
Uesugi Terutora's harsh words at this time were more worried about the power of the imperial white flag, which created huge obstacles out of thin air for her to marry Shiba Yoshigan, and she felt unhappy.
As for her little mood, Yiyin was very aware of it and couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to pretend to be stupid.
"No matter what, Hojo Ujiyasu finally gave in.
As soon as she relented, if we take action against the Kanto countries in the future, it will be an order from the central government to the localities, and there will be no political constraints."
Teruhora Uesugi said angrily.
"You are too lenient with Hojo Ujiyasu, and Narita Chotasu. They should be made to pay a higher price."
Yiyin sighed.
"The royal white flag is just a piece of white cloth. It is not difficult to make them bow their heads, but it is impossible to make them lead their necks to be slaughtered.
Fame is fame, profit is profit.
The Wu family was not born to follow the Hanoi Genji. I cannot abuse the imperial white flag, and they will not be willing to give in. It is better to accept it as soon as it is good."
Hasn't Yoshigan ever thought about using the Royal White Flag to force the Hojo family to make more concessions? Of course he has thought about it, but it is unrealistic.
The reason why Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yoshiie was able to gain the allegiance of the Bando Hime samurai was because everything she did served the interests of the samurai family.
For the Wu family's bloodshed and sacrifice, they must be given adequate rewards. If the imperial court doesn't give it, the Minamoto no Yoshi family will give it to them.
The reason why the Wu family serves the public is for rewards. Whoever rewards Warrior Ji, Warrior Ji will be loyal to.
Such a simple rule of equal trade, but the emperor's court just didn't understand it. Even Taira Kiyomori, who was born in the samurai family, led the Taira family to become a public minister and renounced the samurai group.
In the first round of the Genpei battle, the Taira family won. The Taira family was rich and powerful, but they only left one message to the samurai: If you don't join the Taira family, you are not a good person.
No one except the Taira family is considered a human being! The Taira family betrayed their own class!
The Bando Hime samurai, who had been squeezed to the point of being overwhelmed, remembered his oath to the Hachiman Tai Ni Minamoto no Yori family, and then he remembered the Minamoto no Yoritomo, a direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji who was exiled to Izu Country.
The Genpei war was fought again, and this time it was the direct descendants of the Kawachi Genji who won.
Minamoto Yoritomo established the Kamakura shogunate and the imperial family system. Only when the interests of the samurai family were protected by the shogunate could she become the master of the world supported by the samurai family.
Shiba Yoshigan received the Royal White Flag and was admired by the Bando Princess warriors. However, he could not let the Kanto warrior family betray his own interests, but wanted to give them more.
As he said to Terutora Uesugi.
The Wu family was not born to follow the Kawachi Genji. It was the Kawachi Genji who knew how to serve the Wu family, and gained the support of the Wu family, and was able to secure the Wu family's world.
Terutora Uesugi took a deep breath and sank half of her face into the hot spring. Bubbles of bubbles boiled on the water, as if she was unwilling to be lonely and was turbulent in her heart.
Sibo Yiyin has finished explaining the truth, and it would be unreasonable for him to say anything more.
The appearance of the Imperial White Flag was not enough to overwhelm the Hojo family. What swords and guns cannot obtain on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiation table.
Opposite him, Shiba Yoshigami could faintly sense Uesugi Teruhu's dissatisfaction and persuaded him earnestly.
"We have already secured the great righteousness, and the next step is nothing more than to stand firm and devour it. Just wait patiently and digest the fruits of our victory.
When I sort out everything in Kyoto, I will definitely come back to help you and restore a clean world to Kanto."
Teruhora Uesugi smiled self-deprecatingly and said something perfunctory.
"good."
But she knew clearly in her heart that she couldn't wait.
Shiba Yoshigan roamed the land of Kanto, and in two years he made the Kanto warriors feel in awe. Especially after he obtained the imperial white flag, his status soared into the sky.
There are already some unpleasant sounds circulating in the martial arts family.
It is said that Teruhoku Uesugi is not worthy of the position. The great achievements in the past two years were bestowed by the imperial court. Even if a dog were replaced in her position, she would still be able to enjoy the success, which is not considered her ability.
Terutora Uesugi even knew that these rumors were instigated and spread by the Hojo family behind the scenes. This bastard, Ujiyasu Hojo, did everything he could to drive a wedge between her and Yoshihiro Shiba.
But Uesugi Teruhu couldn't help but be anxious.
She could understand the helplessness in Hojo Ujiyasu's heart, and could only play such a dirty trick. But even this kind of shameless rumor, the effect was very brilliant.
Everyone understands the principle of three people becoming a tiger.
Shiba Yoshigami's light shone, completely shrouding Uesugi Teruhora's contribution under his unparalleled magnificence.
For the Uesugi and Shiba families who cooperated, this exacerbated the instability of the Echigo duopoly.
What's more, Uesugi Teruhora also has a dream of marrying Shiba Yoshigan. If in this atmosphere, what would the Kanto samurai family think of her?
A toad wants to eat swan meat? The greatest ability in this life is to marry a capable husband? Pretend to seduce the widow of Ashikaga Yoshiteru?
How could Terutora Uesugi, a second-generation rich man who cares about face, endure this humiliation!
She could not wait for Shiba Yoshigan to clear the shogunate in recent games and then return to Kanto to advance the Kanto strategy together.
She must prove to everyone that without Shiba Yoshigan, she is still the majestic leader of Kanto and has enough power to suppress the land of Kanto.
But she could only hide this idea in her heart and not let Shiba Yiyin know about it. Otherwise, Shiba Yiyin would object and there would be a hundred ways to force her to submit.
Terutora Uesugi knew very well that he would never be this man's match. The one he loved was so confident that he could not harden his heart and refuse his request.
It's best not to let him know.
The two people only chatted for a few words, but found that the distance between their hearts was far thicker than the white cloth between them.
After that, the pond fell into silence.
It wasn't until Yi Yin's limbs became weak and his head felt dizzy from the soaking that he stood up from the soup pool.
"That's it for today. I'm a little tired, so I'll excuse you."
Across the curtain, Uesugi Teruhora opposite was drinking sake one glass after another. The wooden table by the pool was filled with empty sake bottles.
She kept looking at the dark figure behind the curtain until Yiyin stood up and said her farewell words.
Terutora Uesugi smiled slightly, burped, and said.
"Please help yourself."
Shiba Yiyin hesitated for a moment and sighed.
"You should drink less."
After saying that, he stood up and left the soup pool.
Behind him, Terutora Uesugi's eyes were reddish. He watched the sturdy figure on the curtain disappear completely, glanced at the wine glass in his hand, let out a breath, and slowly put it down.
Just now, she had wanted countless times to use the strength of alcohol to tear away the curtain in front of her eyes and embrace her sweetheart in her arms.
But in the end, her pride defeated her desire. What she wanted was not to have sex with Shiba Yiyin among the hot springs in the mountains.
