If Yi Gin is a confident guardian of Iga, she should shout at this time and tell her to come see me.
But he was just an empty shell and a big liar, so he had no choice but to follow him and meet others.
The three jounin of Iga, the governor of Hattori Yuno, the Masabaru Fujibayashi of north Iga, and the third prince of Momochi in south Iga.
When Yoshihiro and his entourage entered the country from Kita-Iga, they encountered the border guarded by the Fujibayashi family.
Iga is a small country with no more than four counties. In later generations, it would be a larger territory than the four townships. It is surrounded by mountains and forests, but once inside it is a completely different world.
The small basin is divided into more than 60 villages by mountains, rivers and hills. Each village has a population of less than a thousand and soldiers of less than a hundred, and they have to form alliances to fight with each other. It is really a miniature Warring States Period.
The Fujibayashi family has its roots in Totona Township and is the leader of dozens of villages in North Iga. Yoshigan followed the Fujibayashi sisters to the place before it got dark.
There is a cottage located on a higher hill in the countryside, which seems to be shabbier than Yiyin's guardian house in Xicun.
Before he even got close, Fujibayashi Mukuro had already raised something. He waved it a few times and explained to Yoshigan.
"There are many secret sentries in Iga. Please don't act without permission, in order to avoid misunderstandings."
Yoshigan nodded indifferently, all he could think about was how to convince Fujibayashi Masabao.
Entering the Tenglin Mansion, a servant was already on the ground to greet him.
"Greetings to both young ladies, the Governor is waiting for you and your distinguished guests in the meeting room."
Fujibayashi Mukuro turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Yoshigin. Fujibayashi Xing shrugged, folded his arms and leaned against the wall.
Yiyin glanced at Nizi Shengjiu and saw her nodding. They left their horses at the door and walked in together.
I turned left and right to the room. There was no one on the road, only the footsteps of people echoed in the corridor.
Fujibayashi opened the paper door and bowed his head. Yoshigan walked in with his head held high and it was time to see the outcome.
There was only one candle light in the room, and it was blown around by the wind when the door opened. There was a middle-aged woman sitting in the room, with an ordinary appearance that people would soon forget.
His face flickered in and out of the dancing candlelight, his eyes were indifferent, and there was a trace of an unknown smile at the corner of his mouth.
After the two Fujibayashi girls and Yoshigin sat down, the woman bowed and spoke.
"Mahoho Fujibayashi saw Iga guarding Shiba Gozen, and the Gozen is fine."
Yiyin glanced at her lying on the ground and said.
"you know me?"
Fujibayashi Masabao sat up and said with a smile.
"The emperor is joking, what kind of business does the Iga people do? If you can't figure out anything that affects you, then you will die without a burial place."
Yiyin glanced at the Fujibayashi sisters.
"On the way, they said they didn't know."
"My two daughters are practicing at the border, so they really don't know the news."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"So, you already know my purpose of coming?"
"Know."
"Then what do you think."
"I think if Ozen doesn't give up his plan to take over Iga, his life will be in danger."
Before Fujibayashi Masabao finished speaking, the ladies behind Yoshigami stood up with their swords drawn, all looking wary.
Both this mansion and the Fujibayashi Masabao in front of them were so weird that they had to be on guard.
Masahori Fujibayashi is one of the three Iga ninjas and one of the most powerful among the ninjas who are good at assassination. Now she is spouting murderous intent that makes people feel scared.
Yiyin's expression remained normal. What he was least afraid of was face-to-face confrontation. If he was in a battle formation, he would also be afraid of bows, arrows and iron cannons.
When this man stabbed people, he turned on the killing mode in one thought. It didn't matter whether you were a jounin or an ashigaru, it was all the same to him.
But outsiders don't know this.
The few Ji warriors who had gone into battle with him knew their lord well. Others, whether it was Nizi Yamanaka or the Fujibayashi sisters, all looked up to this man who was not afraid of danger.
Opposite me, Fujibayashi Masabao also remained calm and said.
"The samurai hire us for nothing more than assassination and intelligence. In recent years, there are few things that can be hidden from the Iga clan.
The shogunate has humiliated me, the Iga people, for so many years. Now that I cannot protect myself, it is ridiculous to think of asking us to sacrifice our lives.
A few days ago, the third husband of Momochi met with me and denounced the hypocrisy of the shogunate. In this war, the Iga people sided with Miyoshi."
Yiyin was so shocked that he couldn't hide it on his face.
He had a good discussion with everyone in Kyoto. But no one expected that the resentment of the Iga people was so heavy, and they had already planned to kill Iga.
Think about it. After so many years of anger and suffering, your shogunate can throw it away if they want and use it if they want. Even if it is a chamber pot, it still has the heart to drown people.
Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka thought too well. They thought from the perspective of high-level samurai, thinking that a few gifts would make the Iga people grateful.
But people's hearts are unpredictable. No one in this world understands better than Yiyin how terrible it is for the people at the bottom who have been oppressed for many years and have the power to tear everything apart.
There is a saying that goes well, I dare to ask the sun and moon to change the sky.
I've been tricked again, Yiyin couldn't help but cry in her heart.
"So you want to kill me?"
"It all depends on what Shiba Gozen wants."
Yoshigan looked at her in surprise. It seemed that Masahori Fujibayashi did not agree with Momochi Santao's plan.
"Please say."
"There is only one way, Siba, please turn back. I will ask my two daughters to escort you back to the border of the mountain city."
Yiyin shook his head.
This awesomeness has already been blown out, and Ashikaga Yoshiki put all the treasure on me. I went back and said that Iga wanted to help Miyoshi fight against the shogunate, and he should wait to die.
The shogunate's army had to collapse instantly.
Although he was very poor these days, he had some friends after all. Mibuchi Haru treated him like a nephew, Hosokawa Fujitaka treated him as a friend, Ashikaga Yoshiteru also thought highly of him, and Toudou Otani and other family members were all in Omi.
These people wanted to make a living in the near future, and he would not let him fall off the chain at this time.
It's okay if you don't get there. Now that you've been put on the battlefield, you have to make it clear and have a result.
Although he has always claimed to be self-interested, he really wanted to tear up the face given by others and run away. He was pointed at his spine and looked down upon, and his mental endurance was still a bit poor.
To say it openly is just pretentious.
From the time I started working for a living, I am now respected by others. I have no trouble getting in and out, I am always in front of the emperor, and my face is much better.
There is a way to go, but who wants to go back and continue to be ignored? Wait until the end of the road, then it will not be too late to save your life.
"Then the second way is not easy."
"Please enlighten me."
Fujibayashi Masabao looked at Yoshigan and said slowly.
"Ming, Xing, you go out."
Yiyin understands, he is not afraid of single combat, nor is he afraid of group fights without long range.
"You all get out."
Looking at the concubines behind him, he said in an unarguable tone.
Both sides were hostile, but they did not dare to go against the wishes of the family leader and retreated.
"Okay, can we talk now?"
Yoshigami looked at Fujibayashi Masabao, and saw her smiling sweetly, and suddenly felt much more beautiful. The candlelight flickered, and he almost screamed in shock.
The face in front of me changed and turned into a southern barbarian face with peach blossom eyes.
"Guo Xin? Is that you?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, have you missed me recently, little man?"
Yiyin's heart was in turmoil.
"Where is Fujibayashi Shoho?"
"I killed."
"Why?"
"The Third Master of Baidi gave me the money."
Yiyin's heart is bright.
It turned out that Iga was besieged in the mountains by the shogunate, and the Hattori family left Iga and ran away.
And Momochi Santafu wanted to use this recent melee to let Iga go abroad.
Masayasu Fujibayashi must have opposed her and was assassinated.
Therefore, there was no one in Tenglin Mansion. That’s why the Tenglin sisters were sent to the border for training. This was because they were afraid that Guo Xin’s identity would be seen through.
"Guo Xin, help me."
Now that the situation in Iga has been single-handedly controlled by Momochi Santao, Yoshigami's guardianship is useless. The only one who can help him is Guoxin, who pretends to be Fujibayashi Masahori.
"Baidi Santaifu is an old acquaintance of mine. She gave me a lot of money."
Guo Xin's peach-blossom eyes smiled weirdly, making Yiyin feel like she had seen him before, and she felt a twinge of kidney pain.
"How are you tonight? There are people outside now, so it's not convenient."
