Taking a boat is much faster than traveling by land. In two days, Yoshihiro and his party entered the Seta River and saw Sakamoto Castle, which had already begun construction.
The efficiency of the shogunate changed from the previous slackness in mobilizing the generals. In just a few days, the siege of the city had already begun.
In response to this, Akechi Mitsuhide's sarcastic jokes came one after another. She was no longer too lazy to hide herself in front of Yoshihiro, and when talking about world affairs, she behaved in a way that made her feel disgusted by herophobia.
Seeing how the gentle and elegant Samurai Princess had turned into such an unabashed vicious tongue and sinister person now, Yiyin felt that the uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
Isn't she afraid that I will chase her away? After all, the two have different masters. If Yiyin sees her unhappy, he still has the right to tell her to get lost.
Unless the two of them had already boarded a pirate ship and still couldn't get off. Thinking of this, Yiyin felt even more panicked.
At this time, I was still speculating. It was not until I entered Kyoto and was rejected in front of Mibuchi Haruman's residence that Yoshigan was completely sure.
problem occurs.
"Okay, Lord Akechi Mitsuhide, you can now tell me why the shogunate suddenly doesn't want to see me."
After a tiring journey, the group first found a tavern in the castle town for dinner. Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide helplessly and asked.
"To be precise, it's probably because the ministers don't want to see you."
Akechi Mitsuhide was smiling with her lips pursed, but she felt it was inappropriate and covered her little cherry mouth with her hand, which made Yiyin want to help her plug it.
“The imperial family system was founded by the Kamakura shogunate. At that time, the samurai family was not as hierarchical as it is today, so it could be implemented.
Today's high-level military families have been multiplying for hundreds of years, and their descendants are clearly organized. If you restart the imperial family system like this, except for the embarrassed general who is interested, how can anyone else treat you?"
Yoshihiro couldn't help but roll his eyes. I fought and died in Omi to make contributions to the shogunate. In the eyes of these girls, I set the wheels of history in reverse.
"Then you can't do this to me, right? I have done meritorious service for the shogunate, and I have shed blood for the shogunate."
"Yes, it's too gentle. I must at least find a reason to kill you."
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded and answered seriously.
Is there any justice? Yiyin took a sip of wine and buried his head in eating.
The three women on the side didn't have any objections.
Otani Yoshitsugi has always been a man of few words, doing things well and not caring about anything else.
Maeda wanted to finish her work and return to Owari as soon as possible. In her eyes, the shogunate was not as good as the bowl of rice in her hand. Can she eat it?
Takatora Toudo? It was the first time that I left my hometown and came to the lively castle town of Kyoto. I didn’t have enough eyes. Let’s talk about the shogunate later.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, I had to find a place to stay. It was getting late, so I would go to the Imperial Palace to see the general tomorrow.
Kyoto is big and difficult to live in. There is no familiar place to stay in the castle town. I followed my memory and walked to the merchant who donated money to the shogunate.
As a businessman related to the Oda family, Yoshigan is Oda Nobunaga's direct minister, so it shouldn't be a problem to find some convenience, right?
"Well, Shiba-gozen. It's great to meet you. I'm still worried about where to find you."
At the merchant's office, he unexpectedly met Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Yoshigan asked in surprise.
"You haven't gone back to Owari yet."
"Yes, I spent a lot of time shopping with Kii in Sakai Port, and finally contacted a seller of iron cannons with good quality and low price.
This time I bought three bottles and was about to return them to Owari to deliver them to His Highness. I received a message from His Highness here, asking me to find Shiba Imperial Majesty to convey the message."
The petite Kinoshita Hideyoshi still looks innocent and speaks with reason and restraint.
Yiyin nodded repeatedly with a good impression of her, but Akechi Mitsuhide behind him looked at her coldly.
"What are your orders, His Majesty Oda?"
"His Highness requested that Imperial Majesty Shiba be temporarily stationed in Kyoto to serve as an envoy of the Oda family to contact the shogunate."
What's going on? Yiyin was speechless for a moment.
Wasn't his mission in going to the capital to obtain a guardianship for Oda Nobunaga? He also got this official, fought a battle, and had an explanation for both the Oda family and the shogunate.
Why should I stay in Kyoto at this time? Owari is far away on Tokaido, at least across Mino Omi and Kyoto. I need to communicate with the shogunate about something. All the shogunate wants is your obedience and donation.
Yiyin felt that something was getting more and more wrong, and a cold sweat slowly broke out.
The shogunate didn't want to see me, and Oda Nobunaga seemed to have a problem with me. What was going on? He looked at his adviser out of habit, and Akechi Mitsuhide gave him a bright smile.
If you laugh at your size, sooner or later you will be fucked. Yiyin sighed secretly, it was not convenient to ask her here at the moment.
"Hideyoshi, I just came back from Omi and now I need a place to stay. Do you have any suggestions?"
Yoshigan thought about settling down first before talking about anything else. Knowing that Kinoshita Hideyoshi had an idea, he asked casually.
Hideyoshi tilted his head in confusion, thinking that since Shiba Gozen had made great contributions to the shogunate this time, he didn't even have a place to stay when he returned to the capital. However, she didn't say much and just replied respectfully.
"I'm currently living in Tofukuji Temple. The apartment there is spacious and bright, and the rent is not expensive. If Shiba Gozen is interested, I can help negotiate the price."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Yiyin no longer thinks about anything else. He is tired from the journey and encounters these troublesome things. He just wants to have a good sleep before talking about it.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi bowed and led the way, and the group headed towards Tofukuji Temple.
The castle town in Kyoto is bustling, and the lights are still bustling with people. The area around Tofukuji Temple is also a prosperous castle town. Yamazaka Yukimori was bored and browsing the stalls, feeling depressed.
As the last direct descendant of the Nizi family, Nizi Shengjiu is an indispensable and important figure for her to revive the Nizi family.
Nowadays, the road to revival has not yet started, but it has encountered setbacks. Nizi Shengjiu doesn't even want to revive his family business. How can there be such a martial arts family in the world?
"Whose little girl is this? She is so beautiful. Why does she look so sad? Who has offended you? Come and talk to your sister."
Yamanaka Yukimori was thinking about something when he was blocked by two warrior girls. He looked up and saw a woman wearing a gorgeous kimono with red bottom and gold trim looking at her with evil intentions. She was talking and her hand had already been stretched out to pinch her chin.
Yamanaka Yukimori took two steps back and put his hand on the hilt of the knife with vigilance. She had been pretty since she was a child and had been teased by the bad-tempered Samurai Hime. She had long since learned to use a knife to protect herself.
Men in this world have weak constitutions, and are either skinny or obese, and few are handsome and capable. Some warriors like that, but look down on men, so they gradually develop the love of all Taoists.
The so-called Taoism is the joy of women. Compared with the panting of men, women are still happy and comfortable. Marrying a husband is just reproduction, and Taoism is true love.
The gorgeous kimono shows that the woman has an extraordinary background, and the ten warrior warriors surrounding her have already blocked the road ahead and in front of Yukimori Yamazaka.
Some passers-by couldn't stand this bullying behavior, and wanted to come forward to say something, but they were pulled by others. They pointed at the family crests on the warrior Ji's bodies and then they suddenly realized it. They lowered their heads and pretended not to notice.
It was obviously not the first time for this woman in gorgeous clothes to do such a thing, and it was exciting and interesting to draw the sword against Yamanaka Yukimori's gesture.
"It's not good to play with knives at a young age. Why don't you let your sister take you to play with other things to ensure that you never come back? There's no guarantee that you'll fall in love with her from now on."
The woman's eyes were wandering all over Yamazaka Yukimori's body, giving her goosebumps.
Yamanaka Yukimori is not a fool. Someone who can do such a thing blatantly in a castle town in Kyoto must not be an ordinary person.
She didn't want to cause trouble either. Nizi's family had to rely on the nobles in the capital for help. If she offended someone she couldn't afford to offend, it wouldn't be a big deal.
After thinking about it for a while, she didn't dare to take action. The woman seemed to see her hesitation, smiled, and stretched out her hand to hug her.
"You'd better stop holding your hands, otherwise you may die."
The woman's hands froze and she looked back. It was a group of Ji warriors, and the leader turned out to be a young man.
"I don't know how to fight, I can only kill. If I really pulled out the knife, I would be embarrassed. How about you help me and stop now."
