Christina looked at the young man beside her who was as handsome as the first time she saw him, and was unwilling to let go.
On Tangmu Mountain, Christina once felt a sense of fear in her heart when she saw Yiyin, who was making waves.
Is that handsome boy who seems to have stepped out of a myth really something that a mortal like me can touch?
But at this moment, whether he is a god or a mortal seems to no longer matter.
Yiyin said slowly.
"My family was wiped out by the enemy. It took me seven years to finally get my family back to its former peak, or even to a higher level.
I have paid a lot for this, far more than you can imagine.
Be my lover, Christina, I need your strength, I will give you glory and wealth, and of course, I will also allow you to sit on my bed.
Please fight for me, my lady."
Christina looked at Yiyin and said with a smile.
"Lilu and I are single women with no worries in our hometown, so we are brave enough to go to the sea to seek wealth.
I have to admit that during this process, Lilu and I forged a deep friendship.
This stupid, short-sighted, greedy little businessman always does things that make me dumbfounded.
But this time, I thank her. Because of her reckless behavior, I have the opportunity and the honor to be your lover.
She is an idiot. If she serves as the general agent of the Nanman in your country, sooner or later she will be killed by those Nanman believers with ulterior motives.
I am very worried about her safety, and if she stays, I will stay too."
Christina seems to be following Lilu's decision, but in fact, in the relationship between the two, she is the stronger one with the right to make the decision.
Yiyin heard the implication, rolled his eyes at Christina, and said angrily.
"So, if I want to keep you as my lover, I must also give Lilu a lover's position? You two must have had a lot of fun in Sakai Port, right?
Okay, I allow you to board my bed at the same time, are you satisfied now? Christina, you are really a messy woman."
Christina let go of her hand, bowed in awe, and said.
"Lilu and I are both your admirers. In our hearts, you are a pure and innocent angel."
Yiyin put his hand under his nose, smelled Christina's fragrance, and laughed at himself.
"An angel who serves two women at once? He is indeed pure enough.
But it doesn't matter, I am willing to sacrifice my body in exchange for your loyalty.
Okay, my big red-haired lover, don’t defend yourself, just admit it, you are a coquettish person and like three people together.”
Christina bowed deeply, her cheeks flushed, and she was speechless.
Yiyin said solemnly.
"Lilu will be appointed by the shogunate as the general agent of the Southern Barbarians, and you will become the Southern Barbarian leader of my Shiba family.
If your subordinates are willing to stay in this country, I can give them generous treatment in exchange for their service.
If they are unwilling, you will need to recruit a new group of sailors and gunners to serve me.
Protect Lilu, help me control the Nanman trade in Sakai Port, and build a fleet and artillery fleet belonging to the Shiba family for me. This is your mission.
Is that okay? My lady."
Christina bowed deeply.
"Fight for you, my man."
Yiyin smiled and stepped forward, kissed Christina's red lips, and said.
"It's a pity that this is war time, and you and I both have a lot to do, so I won't keep you overnight today.
You take the artillery team back to Tsuruga Port and ask Lilu to sail to Sakai Port for repairs and standby. Someone will be there to pick you up. Your appointment certificate will be issued by this winter at the latest.
It is up to you to decide how to compete with the Nanman Cult and the Nanman Chamber of Commerce, and I will be your strongest support.
Go, my lover, I hope we can chat in bed next time we meet.
By the way, I have to take Lilu with me at that time. It’s really a suffocating fetish, you English people are really perverted.”
The more Yiyin talked, the more excited he became. He obviously wanted it too, but he insisted on saying it aggrievedly and put all the responsibility on the Nanman lover.
Christina's face was also flushed and her eyes were shining, obviously looking forward to it.
The Nanman people are not from the island country. Almost everyone of European noble men and women has a lover. The lover culture is deeply rooted in the bones, and Christina has long been accustomed to it.
As soon as the window paper between the two people was opened, each of them felt more sultry than the other. Boss, don't laugh at the second.
———
That night, Yiyin suddenly woke up and found that there was an extra person beside his bed.
"Xiao Zuo?"
"Well, it's me."
It turned out to be Minato Tachibana. Yoshigami breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again.
"The once-a-week day has come again? Isn't it a bit too frequent recently? I'm fighting a war right now, and my physical strength is a bit weak."
Yiyin subconsciously looked outside.
"Where are the fellow guards?"
"I let them leave with your order."
Yoshigan glanced at Tachibana Kanade and saw that she still had the same cold expression on her face, and couldn't help but sigh.
After the battle at Yuwu Lake, Tachibana Kano followed the Tongxin soldiers into the battle and formed a comrade-in-arms relationship with these Ji warriors.
If it were in the past, even if Tachibana ordered them to retreat with Yoshigan's order, they would not leave so carelessly, at least they would come to ask for instructions.
Tachibana Kanade, the Shadow Warrior sent by Takada Yukino, has already been recognized by everyone. Even Kamao Clan and Ii Naomasa will not pay much attention to her and only regard her as Yoshigami's little tail.
Yiyin sighed, lay down flat, spread his legs, closed his eyes and prepared to complete the weekly task, still mumbling.
"Actually, you don't have to eat clean every time. Yukino is not here to supervise you, so there is no need to be so serious."
After waiting for a while, he felt nothing. Yoshigan opened his eyes in confusion, only to see Tachibana Kanade standing in front of him, looking at his face carefully.
The two of them were so close that Yiyin was startled when he opened his eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Tachibana Kanou tilted his head, thought for a while, and asked.
"Are you a god?"
Yiyin was stunned and fell silent.
Interestingly enough, five days have passed since the battle at Yuwu Lake, and no Ji warrior has asked himself this question.
But the only two southern barbarians around him, Christina and Tachibana Kanade, asked them both.
Is it the difference between Eastern and Western cultures?
The cultural circle of the Celestial Dynasty tends to offer incense in temples and kowtow before Buddha. Their attitude toward religion is often very practical. Only if you can bless me will I consider trusting you.
Westerners may not be so utilitarian towards religious beliefs, but they are serious about their attitude towards gods.
Yiyin asked with a smile.
"What? You want to fight against me, a pagan god, for your *?"
Lihua Zuo shook his head and said.
"When I was at my most desperate at sea, I prayed again and again, but got no response.
I came to this island country in the Far East, was captured by your islanders, and suffered humiliation in the dungeon, but still no response.
The Nanman sect came to tell us that as long as we converted to the old sect, we would be saved. My crew members all surrendered, but I still persisted and refused to bow.
In the end, it was you who saved me. I vowed to repay everything I owed you, and then left here and returned to my hometown. As a result, I owed more to Yukino Takada."
Yiyin's face stiffened and he said.
"Yukiono is loyal to me, but to others, it's really a bit different."
Tachibana Kan looked at Yoshiyin and said without mercy.
"What she has is not loyalty, but love. She loves you more than anything in the world.
If only one of you and you can survive in the world, she will destroy it without hesitation.
She is the most terrifying person I have ever seen, a executioner with bloody hands, a madman without blood and tears, a swordsman without emotion, and a devil from hell.
In her world, it's all you, leaving only a small piece for Takada Haruno, and nothing else."
Yiyin was speechless and sighed.
"You're right, but what's the point of telling me this?"
Tachibana Kanade lay in front of Yoshigan's legs, with his arms on both sides of his waist, and leaned his head closer, looking at him with cold and pure eyes.
"So, are you a god?"
Yiyin smiled bitterly, how did this topic come back? He thought for a while and said.
"In a sense, it is."
Tachibana Kanade's eyes seemed to be focused on Yoshiyin's eyes, and he asked again.
"So, is it God's will that I will come to this kingdom? So, is it God's will that I can never leave?"
Yoshigan looked at Tachibana Kanade's silver hair and silver eyes, and his heart was filled with possessive desire.
"Yes."
Lihua sighed.
"Lord God, you are so cruel to me."
Yiyin stretched out his hand, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
"So, you will never leave the island country again in your life. You belong to me."
Tachibana Kanade lay on Yoshiyin's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said quietly.
"As you command, my Lord God."
This sentence instantly ignited Yoshigan. He just wanted to get on his horse, but was held down by Tachibana Kanade.
"Um?"
"That's not possible, Lord Spirit.
Takada Yukino said that that kind of thing can only happen when Takada Harono is present."
"I am a god. Do you listen to her or me?"
"You are a god and she is a devil. I fear gods and I am even more afraid of devils.
So, I choose to listen to the devil."
Yoshigami was speechless when he heard Tachibana's serious answer. What she said made sense.
Sighing, Yiyin lay on the bed and stopped moving.
Like a kitten, Kanade Tachibana slowly shrank between Yoshigami's legs and began her weekly work.
———
Sibo Yiyin also worked hard for mugwort.
When dealing with Christina, he tried his best to deny his divine attributes, and seduced Christina and Lilu into staying and doing things for him at the cost of becoming lovers.
But in front of Tachibana Kanade, he claimed to be a god and locked Tachibana Kanade with him in the name of fate, completely cutting off her thoughts of leaving the island country.
Yiyin's little calculation started, but he thought a little differently.
Christina and Tachibana Kanade took the initiative to ask, which does not necessarily mean that they care about the matter, but may be more out of curiosity.
And no one from Ji Ji's side asked, not necessarily because they didn't care. Maybe, they couldn't ask, just because they paid too much attention to this matter.
Nagahama Castle, Castle Tower.
Oda Nobunaga looked at the respectful Akechi Mitsuhide in front of him and sighed.
"A small misunderstanding between Jinduoden and I caused chaos in the world, and hundreds of thousands of people fought fiercely on the battlefield.
If I had known this, I would not have sent anyone to ask for Takeda's hostess that day."
Akechi Mitsuhide bowed.
"Your Majesty Oda, the disagreement between my Lord and you is not for the sake of Takeda's daughter, but for the sake of the whole family."
Oda Nobunaga smiled slightly.
She only tried a little bit, but was blocked by Akechi Mitsuhide. It seemed that this negotiation was not easy.
Because of Oda Nobunaga's defeat, there is no need to put the issue of Takeda's hostage on the table for further discussion.
Oda Nobunaga casually said at this time that he just wanted to know Akechi Mitsuhide's attitude. Now it seems that it is not good.
She touched her chin and asked.
"Akechi-hime, does the merger of Genpei still count?"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Oda Nobunaga and said solemnly.
"Going back to Your Majesty Oda, my Lord Tsuta swore to the sky on the battlefield of Yu Wu that I would not return to secular life, never marry, not seek fame, not strive for honor, and would fight for the rest of my life to protect the world of the Wu family.
Do you think he can get married again?"
Oda Nobunaga's face turned cold.
"That's not what you told me when you were in Azuchi Castle."
Akechi shows off his face without changing his expression and talks eloquently.
"His Majesty Oda clearly knows that one moment and another moment cannot be confused.
Your Majesty's battlefield oath is naturally higher than my initiative. There is no doubt about it.
However, this does not mean that His Highness Oda cannot admire my Lord."
Oda Nobunaga heard the implication of Akechi Mitsuhide's words and said angrily.
"You want me to have an illegitimate daughter with Tsutado-don like Takeda Uesugi did?
How can I, a great man with three million stones, associate with those scoundrels?"
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty Oda, this statement is completely false.
My Lord is a god walking on earth. How can we say that his child is an illegitimate daughter? She is the blood of a divine descendant given by God.
Your Majesty Oda, there is something I don’t know whether I should say or not?”
Oda Nobunaga suppressed his anger and snorted coldly.
"you say."
Akechi Mitsuhide kowtowed, then straightened up with a serious look on his face.
"Your Highness Oda, you know me. I wholeheartedly look forward to the union of Genpei and your marriage to my family, Tsuta-don.
The two of you work hand in hand, and the troubled times will be brought to an end. From now on, the world will be peaceful and peaceful.
But you are in Yuwu...many things have to keep pace with the times.
The Takeda Kamishiro family is indeed not as prosperous as the Oda family, but they each have a territory of 700,000 to 800,000 koku, and can be called powerful lords.
Moreover, the famous names of the martial arts family who admire my Tsuta-den in the world are not just the two highnesses of Takeda Shangge?
I understand your thoughts, Lord Oda. You want to be closer to my home, Tsuta-den, than anyone else, and the Oda family's three million koku can indeed bring you closer.
But, that’s it.”
Oda Nobunaga looked at Akechi Mitsuhide with a terrifyingly fierce gaze.
Of course she understood what Akechi Mitsuhide meant. Having lost the battle, she had lost the possibility of monopolizing Shiba Yoshigan's body.
In other words, Yoshigan used a big victory to retain the power of independent moxa. Oda Nobunaga can do it, and others can do it too.
