Yiyin looked at the excited Rensheng wolves coldly and said.
"Isamu Kondo."
"Hi!"
"I will give you whatever you want from the identity of the Wu family, funds and manpower, information and information!
You are the person brought by Yukino, and I believe in Yukino's vision. Don't embarrass Yukino. Otherwise, what I can give you today, I can take back tomorrow."
Isamu Kondo pulled out his sword and held it with his palm, blood gushed out from the grip. She seemed to feel no pain, smeared her face with blood and swore to the sky.
"The great royal platform is on top!
I swear in the name of the Tenrinshin-ryu clan that I will kill the gang of thieves who ambushed Takada Yukino-sama and the masterminds behind it!
I will spend my whole life and punish you to the ends of the earth and the ends of the earth!"
Yiyin nodded with satisfaction and said.
"You don't need to spend your whole life, let alone search for it to the ends of the earth. You are not alone. Remember, behind you is the powerful Si Bo family.
In addition to the three of you, I will gather thirty additional people for you, with a salary of thirty gold, and the benefits of the Spozhong Fund.
You will not be short of money, food, armaments, stations, or intelligence. You just need to do what you are good at."
"Hi!"
Kondo Isamu bowed his head and was sincerely convinced.
Yiyin had not slept all night and was already a little tired. He stood up and walked outside.
"Take Yukino's Mikazuki Munechika with you. I give you permission to kill him first and then show him off. Isamu Kondo, don't let me down. Just take care of yourself."
Kondo Isamu was the leader, and the Mibu wolves all kowtowed to the ground and respectfully sent the Oitai away.
Now Yoshigami no longer cares about Ashikaga Yoshiaki or Oda Nobunaga.
All persistence, all imprisonment, were all torn to pieces by himself. He was like a giant dragon whose scales had been lifted off, and he just wanted to vent his anger.
Yukino, my Yukino, how dare they hurt you! How dare! Just because of my concession and compromise, some people have forgotten their respect!
Yiyin kept blaming himself. The people around him he wanted to protect were seriously injured and fell into coma because of his naivety and stupidity.
He recalled Mitsuhide Akechi, a poisonous man, and indulged Miburo Tenchu. From this moment on, he no longer had any scruples about the shogunate.
I feel bad, I feel bad in my heart, and none of you can even think about feeling better!
Forget it!
———
There is a courtyard not far from Shiba's residence. This place is the base of the confidentiality team in Kyoto.
Indoors, Yagyu Sogan and Momochi Santafu were sitting opposite each other.
Yagyu Munomi said solemnly.
"Odaisho is really angry, I have never seen him so angry.
Now, things are not going to be easy."
Yagyu Munenomi had scruples. Although she spoke harshly to her mother, Yagyu Munenuki, she actually did not want to conflict with her mother.
The show is for outsiders to watch, and both mother and daughter know very well what is best for the Yagyu family.
But today, Odaisuo was furious and made heart-breaking words, which frightened Yagyu Munomiki greatly.
Oh Odaisho is not someone who is easy to fool, but he is soft-hearted and does not want to care about many things. But if he really wants to care about things, Yagyu Muneki cannot bear it.
If there is a fierce confrontation between the Shiba family and the shogunate, the two sides' heads of office will be on the front line of tit-for-tat confrontation. Yagyu Munenomi really doesn't want to see this happen.
The third wife of Momochi chuckled. Of course she understood what Yagyu Munenomi was worried about. The Yagyu family bet on both ends. It seemed very smart, but in fact it was very stupid.
Who does Yagyu Munaki think she is? Is she qualified to be chosen? To be a dog, you must have the consciousness to be a dog. Not everyone is qualified to take sides.
The top bosses of the shogunate may not have the confidence to make their own choices. The Yagyu family is just a prank, but they still want to have two things?
If Odaisho hadn't been kind enough to change his name and see the Yagyu family's petty behavior, he would have chopped up these unfed wild dogs and stewed them.
Mrs. Bai Di San Tai was so mature that she laughed at Yagyu Munomi in her heart, but her face was calm and she said.
"Yagyu Hime's words are serious, you and I are the eagle dogs of the Odaisho. We will do whatever the Odaisho asks us to do.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do poorly, you will be punished. Don’t think too much."
Yagyu Muneniki coughed, and Momochi Santafu stabbed her seemingly inadvertently. Apparently he had read through her thoughts, which made her look a little confused.
she explained.
"The Great Imperial Palace is wise and powerful, of course we must obey orders!
It’s just that when we run errands, we must also control the scale, so as not to mess up the matter and be punished for a small matter, but what if we mess up the big affairs of the Imperial Palace?"
Bai Di San Tai Fu chuckled.
"What Yagyu-hime said makes sense, so let's think about it together so that we can handle things more beautifully so as not to embarrass Odai."
Yagyu Munenomi looks better, and Momochi Santafu also has his own little plans.
The Odaisho was obviously really angry and asked the confidentiality team to thoroughly investigate the ambush of Takada Yukino. This matter is not simple. Can the person who can get the bow and arrow iron cannon in Kyoto be an ordinary person?
If you can't find out, it will be bad luck for the third wife of Baidi. If you find out too deeply, I'm afraid the matter will be too big and difficult to end.
It's not that Momochi Santao is disloyal, he's just afraid that one day the situation will turn around and he will be kicked out of the Shiba family and used as a scapegoat. If you want to compromise politically, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice the leader of the Ninja clan.
Yagyu Munenomi's concerns coincided with the thoughts of Momochi Santaifu. The two sides had a clear understanding of the situation and set a range.
The Yagyu group is the head of the group, responsible for internal supervision. The confidentiality group is the ninja group, responsible for external intelligence. Both parties are the eyes and ears of Yiyin. As long as they can reach a tacit understanding, many things will be easy to handle.
The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other.
At this moment, noises came from outside, from far to near. The sliding door of the room was suddenly opened, and a group of people broke in.
Fujibayashi wanted to stop the person at the front, but he didn't dare to block her steps, so he retreated in embarrassment.
The people who arrived were a group of swordsmen wearing Yamagata haori, along with the ninjas from the Secrecy Group and the Yagyu Group who followed, and the room was instantly filled with people inside and outside.
The third wife of Momochi frowned and was about to get angry, but Fujibayashi Mukuo spoke first.
"Lord Bai Di, she forced her way in with the gift given by the Great Imperial Palace, and I dare not stop her."
The third husband of Momochi and Munenomi Yagyu looked at each other and saw that the man was indeed holding a sword in both hands.
Momochi Santao is the intelligence chief, and Yagyu Munenuki is from a kendo family. They all recognized that this sword was Takada Yukino's sword, Mikazuki Munechika.
Baiji Santafu frowned and looked at the group of people wearing Yamagata haori.
"Ren Sheng Wolf?"
The leader nodded and said.
"My Majesty Kondo Isamu, may I ask if these two are Momochi-sama and Yagyu-sama?"
Although Kondo Isamu had not slept all night, he was full of energy at this time.
Oh Odaisho was indeed as generous as the legend said. He gave so much, far beyond Kondo Isamu's imagination.
Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo, and Okita Souji suddenly transformed into middle-level samurai masters with hundreds of knowledge and actions. It was like a dream.
But because Ootai had given so much, the satisfied Mibuwolves could not imagine the pain of losing it all again.
They must use all their strength to complete the mission of the Odaisho before they can swallow this piece of fat in their mouths.
Isamu Kondo bowed to the two of them and said.
"Are Yagyu-sama and Momochi-sama here? I came here this time hoping to get assistance from these two adults.
Please provide information so that I can eliminate the thieves who ambushed Lord Yukino Takada."
Yagyu Munomi snorted and said.
"My dear, Yagyu Munaki.
You just entered the Shiba family, and you still don’t understand many things. The Wu family follows the rules of the Wu family, and they are not like wild wanderers who act haphazardly and do whatever they want."
Yagyu Munomi sarcastically mocked him, and the third wife of Baiji said with a superficial smile but not a smile.
"I'm here, the Third Master of Baidi.
Kondo-hime, the ambush just happened last night, and many things are still under investigation. You are too impatient."
Isamu Kondo said coldly.
"Since the matter has not been investigated clearly, how can the two adults have the leisure to chat here?
Or are you saying that the thunderous wrath of the Great Imperial Palace has not been taken into consideration by you?"
Yagyu Munomi scolded.
"Isamu Kondo! What qualifications do you have to teach us how to do things!"
Bai Di San Taifu's expression also turned cold and he said gloomily.
"The situation in Kyoto is complicated, and Mr. Yagyu and I are discussing appropriate ways to investigate the case.
When I have the exact news, I will naturally let someone inform you, please come back."
Isamu Kondo ignored the hostility between the two, walked up to them and sat down.
"From now on, all information in Kyoto must be handed over to me. Mibu Lang will process this information and look for reliable clues."
Yagyu Munenomi sneered and said nothing. Baiji Santafu glanced at Kondo Isamu, twitched the corner of his mouth as if he was disdainful, and asked.
"Why?"
Isamu Kondo smiled.
"Why? Just for this!"
She suddenly pulled out Mikazuki Munechika and cut the slip of paper next to the three of them in two.
Yagyu Munenomi and Momochi Santafu stood up together, and their tribes inside and outside also made preparations for battle. The Mibu wolves also held the hilts of their swords in their hands, full of murderous intent.
Yagyu Munomi said sharply.
"Isamu Kondo! Who do you think you are! How dare you act so arrogantly here!"
Isamu Kondo carefully sheathed Mikazuki Munekin, stood up and stared into Yagyu Muneki's eyes, saying coldly.
"The Mibu wolves are different from you. We have nothing and we have nothing to fear. We will fulfill the orders of the Odaisho at all costs.
Who am I, you ask? I tell you now, we will do the things you dare not do. We will kill the people you dare not kill.
We just want information! Accurate information!
In a word, kill first and tell later, imperial permission! This is the Renshenglang, is it clear enough?"
Yagyu Munomi narrowed his eyes and said nothing more. Momochi Santafu glanced at Mikazuki Munechika and remained silent.
Isamu Kondo said.
"I want to remind you two.
If I find out that you two are hiding something from me, I will inevitably doubt whether you two may be colluding with the thieves. Please take my request seriously and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
After all, the Odaisho's order is to kill everyone related to this ambush. No matter whether they are the thieves in front of the curtain or the mastermind behind the scenes, no one will be spared!
Therefore, I ask you both to believe that I will carry out the will of the Great Otai. I will definitely kill the wrong person rather than let him go.
Please believe me, I will kill you."
After saying that, Kondo Isamu bowed and walked away with the Mibu wolves, leaving Yagyu Munenomi and Momochi Santao looking at each other.
After a long while, Yagyu Munaki said with a gloomy face and bowed.
"Then I'll take my leave."
Momochi Santafu bowed in return. Both of them knew very well that the tacit understanding they had just reached had been completely destroyed by Isamu Kondo.
Obviously, the Oitai Institute was not at ease with the Yagyu group and the confidentiality group, so they threw out Kondo Isamu and other hungry wolves to disrupt the situation.
At this point, Yagyu Munenomi no longer dares to consider avoiding the conflict with his mother Yagyu Muneyan, and Momochi Santafu also has no courage to think about the scope of the intelligence.
They can only go about their business in a disciplined manner. If Kondo Isamu finds out that they are making small moves, it would be an unjust death.
It wasn't until this moment that they felt truly frightened, realizing that Takada Yukino's ambush was much more serious than they had imagined.
The Odai Institute's dissatisfaction with the Yagyu group and the secrecy group far exceeded their own estimation.
What other messy things are you thinking about at this time? Work hard and regain the trust of Odaisho, which is more important than anything else!
The Yagyu group and the secrecy group acted quickly and mobilized all their forces to find out the whole story of the ambush of Yukino Takada.
———
The interior of the Ise mansion.
Ise Sadaoka coughed twice. She tied a white scarf on her head and tightly strangled her forehead to relieve the splitting headache.
Ise Sadake carefully handed over a bowl of medicinal soup and whispered.
"Mom, it's time to take medicine."
Ise Sadakyo looked at the tea soup, and the strong medicinal smell echoed in her nose.
She is already old, and the ups and downs of the past few years have made her mentally and physically exhausted. If she hadn't been unable to let go of the Ise family fortune, she would have no longer wanted to live.
Ise Sadakyo slowly took the medicinal soup and swallowed it all. She closed her eyes and felt the bitterness of the grass ash in it. Only then could she feel that she was still alive.
"How are things going?"
Ise Sadaki replied in a low voice.
"They succeeded."
Ise Sadakyo suddenly opened his eyes, looked at his daughter, and asked.
"When did this happen?"
"Just last night, Odate Ueno and the others successfully ambushed Takada Battousai who was alone near Shiba's residence."
Ise Sakyo grabbed his daughter's hand and asked.
"Is Takada Yukino dead?"
Ise Sadaki was startled, his wrist was sore from being scratched by his mother, so he quickly answered.
"I was hit by an arrow, twice by an iron cannon, and pierced by three spears.
Unfortunately, the Mibu wolf arrived, and Odate and the others failed to see Takada Battousai expire, so they retreated.
It is said that the person was sent back to Shiba's residence, and the best trauma doctor in Kyoto was invited over overnight."
Ise Sadakyo was slightly disappointed and let go of his hand. Takada Yukino's life or death was uncertain, which was really mixed news.
If Takada Yukino died on the spot, there would be no room for maneuver between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan, and the Ise family would have room to maneuver.
Ise Sadakyu sighed, she had no time, no matter whether Takada Yukino died or not, she had to start immediately.
She struggled to stand up and said.
"Change my clothes. I'm going to Nijo Imperial Palace to see Lord Kōkata and ask her to convene a council meeting."
