"Yanaka Princess, I agreed to send troops from Xia Yue to Luo. However, the situation in Kanto is unclear, and all the leaders of the Yutai group cannot leave. They must be on guard against any eventuality.
You go and tell Kachi Kagetsuna and Honjo Shigenaga that I will grant them the reward. However, they will stay in Kanto and leave the Hime Warriors who sent troops to Luo under your command."
When Yamanaka Yukinomori emphasized that Katsuki Tsuna and Honjo Shigenaga were not allowed to participate in Kamiro, all the Kamiroki Samurai Order composed of Shigotsu members were left to Yamanaka Yukimori himself.
She was still a little unresponsive and looked at Yiyin blankly. Yiyin sighed and had to explain patiently.
"Yamanaka-hime, there is nothing wrong with you showing kindness to both of them in exchange for their support.
But when you give benefits, you must also find ways to limit them and divide them. You cannot let them get too much, causing you to lose control over them."
Yi Gin is here to teach Yamanaka Yukimori how to be a superior person step by step.
The Wu family is cunning, you must be more cunning than them. The Wu family is a bastard, you must be a bastard than them, otherwise you will not be able to control them.
Yamazaka Yukimori thought for a moment and said.
"I understand what the imperial office means.
I have untied them, and I have to find a way to tie them with new ones, so that they will not be able to control and drive them, or even try to restrain them and backfire on themselves."
Yiyin nodded.
"good.
Don’t they want Xiayue’s territory and Xiayue’s trade routes? Give it to them.
However, the Ji Samurai Group in Shangluo must be separated from their control and placed under your own control.
The foundation of the power of the samurai family is violence, and it is the warrior warriors. As long as you can grasp the land, the warrior warriors of the two families will form a force close to you in the families of the two families.
Even if the two of them are the governors of a family, they will be constrained by the warrior Ji who is close to you in the family, and they will still be restricted by you."
Yamanaka Yukimori nodded and said thoughtfully.
"Give them benefits and also put forward conditions to divide their power.
However, the Wu family values family business. Even if I take their two Ji warriors to Luo and return to their homeland in the future, how can I guarantee that they will be obedient?"
Yiyin smiled and said.
"Because Guandong is poor.
The mountain people in the Koshin Mountains are extremely poor, and the Ou permafrost is difficult to develop.
Guanbazhou is known as a land with millions of stones, but for more than a hundred years there have been endless wars, water conservancy facilities have been severely damaged, and the people in the area have been unable to be squeezed, and they have fled to famine and dispersed.
Especially the middle and lower reaches of the Tone River, Ueno, Shimono, Musashi, and the core areas of Kanhachishu in Shimoso Shikoku.
This time I went south and checked carefully. It was clear that there was fertile land for thousands of miles, but because of the overflowing Tone River, floods occurred frequently and it was impossible to cultivate any fields.
Although Echigo Country is rich in products, there are heavy snowfalls every year, making farming difficult. It has a reputation of being rich, but in reality it is bitter and cold.
Kanto is poor and poor, but it is far less prosperous than Kansai. How much food can Kaji Jingzuna and Honjo Nogeshou dig out by wallowing in the small quagmire of Shimotsu?"
Yoshigami glanced at Yamanaka Yukimori and shook his head. He just felt that this little girl had a good life. She was protected by him, and she had a foster sister recently who was saving her family wealth.
He continued.
"You are loyal and have raised the Hime Warriors to accompany me back to Konki. Will I let you suffer? And Nizi Katsuhisa, she manages the internal affairs of Konki Shiba Territory and manages the financial logistics. How can I mistreat you?"
Kachi, the Ji warriors of our two families, when they get close, are you afraid that there will be no benefit to bribe them?
What kind of world have these poor, low-class Ji warriors seen in the world? If you loosen your money, it will be enough for them to be grateful for the rest of their lives.
Remember, you have to be the one dividing the meat.
You must firmly hold the meat-cutting knife and let the people below know that you have the ability to get the meat and the power to decide who to share it with, so that they will follow your lead.
Kachi, who will the Ji warriors of our two villages listen to in the future? Of course, whoever gives more will listen to him.
In addition to the scenery and the long history of this village, they can only stay and serve under you. Because what you have now, they will not be able to get it out in ten lifetimes of hard work."
Yoshigan finally patted Yamanaka Yukimori and said to her with a smile.
"Remember, you have the right to decide whether to give or not give your things. If the dog you raise is willing to wag its tail, he will get an extra piece. If he dares to show his teeth, he will chop up the meat and eat it.
As long as I am here and Nizi Shengjiu is here, the people of Xia Yue, these loaches wallowing in the quagmire, are not qualified to challenge you or disobey you.
Don't think about giving them any benefits, you have to be stronger. They should be the ones begging you, begging you to take them out of that little quagmire with no future."
Yamanaka Yukimori was thoughtful and nodded slightly. She looked at Yoshiyin's confident smile and couldn't help but ask.
"What about me? Why do I have all this?"
Yiyin touched her head, leaned into her ear, and whispered.
"Because I like you and I'm happy to give it to you, my little fool."
Then, Yoshigan was hugged tightly by Yamanaka Yukimori. Her sudden movement startled Yoshigan.
Yamanaka Yukimori was so bold that he hugged his beloved master and spoke into his ear with a blushing face.
"Yamaka Yukimori loves Shiba Yoshigan so much that he is willing to die for him, even if his body is broken to pieces, he has no regrets."
Yiyin helplessly patted her back and repeated.
"Little fool."
He wanted to break away from Kaiyama Yukimori's arms, but found that she held him tighter.
Yamanaka Yukimori raised his head, mustered up his courage, looked into Yoshiyin's eyes and said.
"I know I'm stupid, bad, and terrible, but I don't want to give you up to anyone, not even to death!"
Yiyin looked at her in astonishment, her eyes sparkling with tears. Yiyin had no choice but to rest his head on her shoulder, hugged her and whispered.
"What a little fool."
The two cuddled together and were silent for a long time.
———
When Yamanaka Yukimori opened the sliding door and walked out of the room, his eyes were still red.
Although she tried her best to cover it up, her eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, could not be swollen for a while.
Kamao clan bowed to her, and Yamanaka Yukimori bowed slightly in return and whispered.
"Take good care of your lord."
"Hi!"
After saying that, Yamanaka Yukimori walked out quickly as if running away.
She was really afraid that when Kamao clan raised her head and saw her red and swollen eyes, she would have some bad associations and tarnish the honor of her lord.
All the sins are my fault, Xing Sheng's in the mountains, and have nothing to do with the Lord. They are my faults again and again. If God wants to send down punishments and punishments, please inflict them all on me. Don't harm my Lord.
As she walked in the snow, her thoughts were filled with warmth and joy. She could feel the Lord's sincere feelings for her.
Although this is transgression and blasphemy, she is addicted to it and cannot extricate herself. Tonight, she will miss her master in her dream and help herself to extricate herself.
It's all the fault of Kamo's hometown. Why is she blocking the door? It's really inconvenient.
———
Kamao clan looked at Yukimori Yamanaka going away with complicated eyes, and then turned to look inside the house.
Shiba Yiyin did not close his eyes to rest this time, but was looking at the bonfire, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Kamojigo walked into the room, turned around and closed the sliding door.
Yiyin didn't even raise his eyelids and said lightly.
"Shixiang, give me a glass of water."
Although this body is young and strong, it is enough to complete ten times a night. But the scene just now was too exciting. Just two times made Yiyin a little tired, and his mouth felt dry.
Kamouso clan cheered, went to the bonfire, took out a bowl of hot water from the iron pot hanging on the bonfire. Then he took a little cold water from the kettle standing next to it, and poured it in.
He held the warm water in front of Yoshigan with both hands and looked at his master's tired face as he slowly took the drink. Kamao clan could no longer control his emotions and lowered his head on the tatami.
Yi Gin took a few sips and wanted to return the water bowl to Kamou clan, but found that her shoulders were shaking and she was lying on the ground with a faint sound of crying.
He was stunned for a moment and asked.
"what happened?"
Kamouso raised her head, tears were still flowing from her eyes. She wiped them again and again, but she couldn't stop them.
"I'm very sorry. I just feel bad for the emperor. You really sacrificed too much for the sake of the Sibo family."
Yiyin felt a chill in his heart, put the water bowl next to him, and said in a deep voice.
"Did you see it?"
Pu Sheng's village fell to the ground and kowtowed, saying:
"I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to peek into the discussion between the Lord and the important ministers. It's just that the paper window outside the sliding door was damaged and I accidentally peeked into the house."
Yiyin was shocked. He often walked by the river and his shoes would get wet.
In the past, when I messed around with Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Meng, I always got away with it by luck. But after many times, I couldn't hide it from others. Especially Kamao Clan Village, the leader of the Guards who shared the same wish.
The expression on Yoshiyin's complexion suddenly changed in the village of Pusheng, and his sadness turned into a river, turning into tears that blurred his eyes.
She had already seen the clues as early as when the master Yukimori Yamazaka and Shima Katsu fiercely fought in the snow, and the master ran barefoot to stop him.
However, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
Without seeing the scandal between the Lord and these two important ministers with his own eyes, the Pu Sheng clan could not believe that the Lord, who was holy and innocent in his heart, would be tainted by others, and there was more than one person.
Kamojigo didn't know why she was crying. The most important thing she should do at this time was pretend not to know.
As the head of the lord's personal guard and a close confidant, there are some things she should know and some things she shouldn't know. When encountering something she shouldn't know, she should pretend not to know.
But she just couldn't control her emotions.
For more than two years, she has been by Yiyin's side day and night, rising from a young age to the head of the bodyguard, bathing in Yiyin's peerless elegance.
She knows her feelings for Yiyin best. She knows that she shouldn't and she doesn't deserve it. As long as she can be by her master's side, she will be satisfied.
After losing the royal flag and letting the Hojo clan force the lord to step down at Hachiman Palace, the Kamo clan really wanted to die. She would rather die than see the lord be embarrassed because of her.
But Sibo Yiyin stopped her and would rather pay a heavy price to save her life.
At that moment, the Hamo clan was really happy, so happy that they even forgot about the scene where something was vaguely wrong between the Lord and the important ministers.
But today, she witnessed all this with her own eyes. The young girl in love was blowing the mountain breeze outside the house, and her heart was cold, which was colder and more desperate than the mountain wind.
She told herself, I have to be patient. In the end, she burst into tears in front of her master.
Yoshigan, who was opposite, didn't know what was going on in the Kamo clan's mind. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.
It's broken, the character is broken.
Yiyin squeaked, wanting to explain something, he said.
"Actually...I'm not...this matter...isn't..."
He himself didn't even know what he was talking about, Kamojigo said angrily.
"General Giri, what a pair of loyal warriors who put justice first. One is tough, the other is soft. It's a perfect match to do both soft and hard! Bah!"
"Um???"
Yiyin's face froze on the spot.
Isn't this right? What happened in the room just now was that you were cheating, I was cheating, who was competing against whom.
Why is the Kamao clan so indignant, only targeting Shima Shengmu and Yamanaka Yukimori? Is she referring to Sang scolding Huai, or did she really not see it? Or...
Yiyin silently opened the system interface and looked at the special effects of "Career". How could he forget about this bastard of a system?
Life is not a crime, grass people are equal to mugwort. So, the truth in the eyes of Kamao Clan is that Yoshiyin is strong and powerful by Daosheng, and weak and weak by Yamazaka Yukimori?
Yiyin, who kept his character, slowly lay back on his cushion, slowly picked up the water next to him and drank it.
He didn't panic anymore.
"Shixiang, am I cheap?"
Seeing Yoshiyin talking like this, the villager of Pusheng clan felt nervous and hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty, I don't mean to look down on you, I just think your sacrifice is too great."
Yoshigami tried his hand at this, but it made Kamo clan panic. He confirmed in his heart that he would not commit special effects and meritorious deeds in his career, and he was even more determined.
Although I kill people, set fires and play with women, I am still a good boy, and men with special effects really like to be wild.
Yiyin looked at the bonfire nearby and began to show off his acting skills. There was no joy or worry on his face, and his eyes showed that he was heartbroken.
"I know, I'm cheap.
What you saw is correct, I have been using my body to win over important officials in my family."
Seeing his calm face, the villagers of Kamao clan became even more panicked, thinking that their rash words and deeds had stung their master's pride as a man.
She raised her right hand and swore to the sky.
"My lord, calm down.
God Hachiman, if I have the slightest intention of being a despicable lord of my village, I will be killed by thousands of arrows, and I will never be reincarnated."
Yiyin straightened up, covered her mouth, and cursed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is a god in your head! The royal white flag is on you, and you still dare to talk like this!"
Kamo's hometown was covered by Yi Gin's mouth, but his eyes seemed to be able to talk, looking at him without blinking.
Yiyin sighed, let go of his hand and sat back, laughing at himself.
"Don't blame Dao Shengmeng and Yamazaka Yukimori, it was me who seduced them.
You know, your master, if I really want to seduce someone, who can resist it?"
Seeing Yoshiyin looking like he had smashed a jar into pieces, the Hamo family didn't dare to speak again, lest he said something wrong and made his master even more sad.
Yiyin smoothed his hair and said calmly.
"The Sibo clan has been in decline for many years and was massacred in one day.
Except for the two little girls from the Takada family who are unable to fight, I don't even have a single Samurai Hime who knows the basics.
Fortunately, I'm pretty handsome, so I can still be considered a bargaining chip.
Are you right, Shixiang?"
Kamoji bowed her head deeply. She wanted to beat herself to death now. Why did she have to uncover the master's scars and add salt to his wounds?
