Ishida Mitsunari walked away in despair. She suffered heavy losses this time. On the contrary, Hanzawa Naoyoshi had great blessings and unexpectedly left a name in Yoshigan's heart.
Not only did Yiyin's mind not calm down, but it became even more entangled.
In the past few days, Yiyin originally planned to reward Takada Harano who had worked hard to raise the money and food to establish Shibo Bank, and also to give Tachibana a good performance.
Then call Lilu and Christina over, roll on the couch together, reward them for their military exploits, further win them over, and make them your own.
But now, Yoshigan's mind is filled with the third daughter born to Yui Hahama. He no longer has the leisure and leisure to invite people to have sex with him, and he has no idea how to face this unexpected incident.
It was also a daughter whom she had never met before, Uesugi Kenshin's child. Yoshigan was not worried at all. Her child would never be wronged by that domineering guy.
But Yuigahama Yui is a weakling. She can't even protect herself. How can she protect her daughter?
Yiyin no longer has the intention to stay in Sakai Port, and is thinking of going back to Tawenyama Castle to see the mother and daughter.
But what makes Yiyin hesitate is that once the father and daughter meet, should he recognize the child?
As Yoshigami embarked on the Shinto path, his descendants were no longer ordinary people, but descendants of gods, born with religious and political significance.
Yuigahama Yui's status is too low, and the recognition of father and daughter may not be a good thing for Yuigahama Yui and her daughter.
Yiyin now has three daughters.
Among them, the eldest daughter and the second daughter came from two powerful foreign dynasties, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family, which had already made Shiba's ministers who admired Yoshigan quite uneasy.
If at this time, Yuigahama Yui appeared in the sight of the ladies, this lowly Shiba retainer would give birth to three daughters before all the important ministers.
Will someone be jealous and hateful and do something bad?
The more Yoshigan thought about it, the more headache he got, and he was in a dilemma. At this moment, Kamao Shigo quietly walked into the room and bowed to Yoshigan who was sitting on the throne.
"What's up?"
"Sage, the general secretly left Nijo Castle and left Kyoto."
Yoshiyin's eyes widened slightly, he looked towards the village of Kamao and asked.
"How long has she been gone? Where has she been?"
Suran Road, Pu Shengshi Township.
"On the night you left the capital, the general secretly left the city.
She first went to Kitakawachi Wakae Castle, but was persuaded by Miyoshi Yoshitsugu to return. Then she went to Ikeda Castle in Settsu Province, but was rejected by Araki Village again.
In the end, I had no choice but to go to Tanba Country via Settsu Country, probably because I wanted to seek asylum from the Hatano family."
Yiyin sneered and said.
"I guess the Hatano family doesn't dare to take her in, and she's not willing to return to the capital and bow to me, so we can only bite the bullet and continue traveling westward to seek support from the Daimyo of the Western Kingdom, right?"
Tamba Country has a special geographical location. The Tamba Highlands are the gateway to the western country in recent years, connecting the mountains and mountains, and the Yang Road. As soon as Ashikaga Yoshiaki leaves the capital, there is no possibility of turning back.
So, her greatest hope lies in... the Maori family?
Today, the Western Kingdom is dominated by the Maori family. The Maori family controls the ten countries and is called the overlord of the Western Kingdom. It is also the best foreign aid Ashikaga Yoshiaki can think of.
Yiyin sneered.
Oda Nobunaga and she were negotiating, seeking the possibility of joining forces. At this juncture, Ashikaga Yoshiaki was sent away. Was Ashikaga Yoshiaki too sensible, or was someone guiding her?
The elegant smile of Akechi Mitsuhide appeared in Yoshigan's mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head. How many tricks did this sinister vixen have done without telling him?
Pu Sheng's township submitted a letter and said respectfully.
"Sage, this is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's apology letter, explaining that the general kept writing to her, but she has no statement that she secretly colluded with the general."
Yiyin sneered.
"Of course she couldn't have colluded with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Instead, she might have colluded with Akechi Mitsuhide and defrauded Ashikaga Yoshiaki."
Pu Sheng's hometown felt a chill in his heart and asked.
"The sage thinks that the general's expedition to the west is a plan of Lord Akechi?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"I'm not sure, and Mitsuhide Akechi won't admit it, but this matter is full of weirdness.
You said that if Ashikaga Yoshiaki wanted to go to Western Country from the beginning, why didn't he enter Tamba Country directly from the north of Kyoto?
Ashikaga Yoshiaki first went to Kitakawachi, then to Settsu Country, and finally to Tanba Country.
She was probably tricked, thinking that as soon as she ascended to a higher place and called out, local famous people would support her. Who knew that as soon as she left the capital, she found out that the call to heaven was not responding to the call, and the call to earth was not working.
At this time, she had no chance of turning back, so she had to be led by the nose, heading west."
Pu Shengshixiang thought for a while and nodded.
"The saint is wise."
Although there is no evidence for Yiyin's statement, it does make some sense.
Looking at Ashikaga Yoshiaki's itinerary, it was clear that he could go straight to Tamba Country, but he made a weird C-shape. He was disgraced and rejected continuously. He didn't look like he was fully prepared.
It's very possible that she was deceived into thinking that someone would pick her up after she came out, but in fact, there wasn't.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugi immediately wrote to Yoshigan, clearing his relationship. Yoshigan could not criticize this important minister of the foreign domain who had just made great contributions in the battle of Yuwu Lake.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki's unauthorized departure from Beijing is destined to become a confusing incident, and no one can be found to take responsibility for it.
The method of doing this was slick and sophisticated, and Yoshihiro's first reaction was that Mitsuhide Akechi did it.
Having been tricked by Akechi Mitsuhide so many times, Yoshihiro has become accustomed to it. If there is an accident and no reason can be found, he will subconsciously put the blame on Akechi Mitsuhide's head.
But this time, he really guessed it right.
The leader of this matter was indeed Mitsuhide Akechi, but Yoshigan did not have evidence. Because Mitsuhide Akechi was currently negotiating with Niwa Nagahide in Fushimi Castle, the incident of the general's escape had nothing to do with her.
Yiyin asked.
"How many guards are there around the general?"
Kamojigo said.
"It is said that there are dozens of guards with them, including Koji Yoshinaga and Yagyu Munegan. Along the way, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Araki Murashige sent troops to send them out. Safety should not be a problem."
Yiyin nodded, feeling a little relieved.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki can run away, but she is in Kyoto, which is not conducive to the affair between the Shiba family and the Oda family.
After all, this time Yiyin went to Luo to raise the flag of justice in the name of the shogunate. The battle ended in an anticlimactic manner, but in the end the two sides shook hands and made peace, and even sought to join forces for expansion.
If Ashikaga Yoshiaki, an empty-shell general, grits his teeth and refuses to make peace with the Oda family, it will easily make Yoshigan, who carries the shogunate's righteousness, very difficult.
As it stands now, Ashikaga Yoshiaki will go away on his own, and Yoshibank will be relieved of its political burden.
But Ashikaga Yoshiaki must not die on the road while running back. If she dies on the road, many things will become unclear.
At this time of crisis, outsiders would inevitably suspect that the Shiba and Oda families were in cahoots and joined forces to kill this nominal general.
Although Ashikaga Yoshiteru died, samurai families all over the world always had doubts about the orthodox status of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the successor shogun.
But Ashikaga Yoshiaki was, after all, the Ashikaga shogun whom Yoshigan and Oda Nobunaga helped bring to power. If he really died in an unknown manner at this time, it would be difficult to clean up the sewage.
Koji Yoshinaga was the flag pen brought by Ashikaga Yoshiaki from Kofukuji Temple, and Yagyu Munegen was the great swordsman of the shogunate.
With the two of them and their personal guards following him, they could at least keep Ashikaga Yoshiaki safe.
Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki dies outside, dozens of people will not remain silent. The cause and effect can always be found out, and Yoshigage will not be blamed for the general's death.
Yiyin thought for a while and sighed.
"It's going to rain and dad wants to get married. Since I can't keep him, let her go."
Yoshiaki's mentality towards Ashikaga Yoshiaki is very complicated. As an Ashikaga general, she is unqualified and has caused Yoshigan a lot of trouble.
But on the other hand, she was the biological sister of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and the only member of the Ashikaga Shogun's family, so Yoshigan was not willing to be cruel to her.
At this moment, Yoshiaki Ashikaga chose to run away on his own, which also made Yoshiaki breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what the future holds, at least now, Yoshigan no longer has to worry about the issue of settling Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
After hesitating for a moment, Yiyin said.
"Shixiang."
"Hi."
"Get ready, we should go back."
"Is the saint going back to Kyoto?"
"No, let's go to Duowen Mountain City first."
Kamo Shigo glanced at Yoshiyin unexpectedly, but found that Yoshiyin had no expression on his face and could not tell any clues.
The general suddenly left the capital, but the saint was not in a hurry to return to the capital. Instead, he wanted to go around Duowenshan City. What did he mean?
———
In the captain's cabin, Lilu turned around in front of Christina and showed her the new clothes she had just received.
"Look, this is the latest style from the Netherlands. I spent a whole gold coin and asked the Florentine tailor in Sakai Port to make it for me."
Lilu was wearing a tight-fitting black open-collar bra and a gray skirt underneath. Three laces hung freely, fluttering as Lilu turned around.
Christina shook her head.
"That's enough, you're making me dizzy. Please stop turning blue, stupid Ms. Lilu."
Lilu pouted, raised Christina's chin provocatively with her fingers, and raised her eyebrows.
"Are you scared? Panic and helpless Christina, you are worried that the Lord will be impressed by my charm and will no longer have any extra attention on you."
Christina sneered, and took advantage of Lilu's fingers to hold her chin. She turned her wrist and scissored her arm, causing Lilu to scream in pain.
"Beautiful and gentle Christina, I know I was wrong, please be gentler, damn, you hurt me."
After giving the complacent Lilu a lesson, Christina let go and said.
"I have to remind you, Lilu.
Your Excellency, the Great Lord, is not a superficial little man. He has his own career in his heart. Please don't tarnish him with your despicable thoughts.
The reason why he entered into a romantic relationship with us was not because he was willing to degenerate, but because he had no choice but to seek foreign help.
If you want to make the great lord favor you and keep your identity as a lover, then throw away this weird attire.
Use the little brain you have left to think carefully about how to better serve His Excellency the Great Lord, which is the right path.
Instead of waving your hands and posing in front of him like a prostitute from the red light district of Amsterdam."
Lilu was unconvinced and pointed at the shallow groove at the open collar and said.
"What's wrong? You know how to please men! And how do you know that the Lord doesn't like this?"
A high-ranking aristocrat like him who follows the rules may never enjoy the special style of Amsterdam in his life, in case he likes it very much."
Christina puffed up her chest proudly and said.
"I'm very sorry. Although I don't think His Excellency the High Lord will like it, I don't think you have the talent to show off that kind of charm."
Looking at Christina wearing a conservative British military uniform, her breasts are still incomparable to the breasts she worked hard to squeeze out, like the gap between apples and melons.
Lilu suddenly let out a wail like a defeated dog and completely lost interest in the new clothes that cost a lot of money.
She cursed and took off her clothes, while Christina changed back into her usual clothes.
Christina didn't take it seriously either, leaning against the door of the captain's cabin and asking.
"What are you going to do next?"
Lilu said while changing her clothes.
"How to do it? Of course, we need to wait for the call from the Lord and follow his instructions.
The church's leader, Frois, has succumbed to the pressure from the shogunate and officially recognized me as the general agent of the Southern Barbarians.
The Kyushu Church should also bow its head. After all, direct communication with the shogunate is the goal that the church has been working hard for these years.
We should not be held accountable for our unauthorized participation in the island nation's war and violation of the agreement.
Oops, I'm stuck in the back, Christina, come over and help me."
Christina stepped forward and untied the knot on Lilu's clothes at the back of her neck.
"I'm not asking about the church, I'm asking if you are prepared to stay in this island country for a long time and serve the great lord."
Lilu relaxed her neck and rolled her eyes at Christina.
"Do I have a choice? If I decide to leave, you won't come with me, right?
Forget it, since I have nothing to worry about in Europe, it would be a good choice to become a minor nobleman in this island country in the Far East.
After these years of sailing, I am also tired, so I just think it is time to rest. I just don’t know whether it is a short break or a lifelong rest.
In your heart now, there is only that radiant Lord, where is my place?
I don’t know what you saw on the battlefield, but you became even more obsessed with him. Is that so-called miracle so shocking?"
Christina smiled slightly.
"He is like a night watchman who sticks to the abyss, using his oath to cut through the darkness before dawn and bring the first ray of sunshine in the morning."
Lilu sighed.
"As I said, I regret not going to the battlefield with him. I also want to see his heroic appearance. Just thinking about it makes me wet again.
Your Excellency, Great Lord, why haven't you summoned us to come in for an audience? This time, I will definitely behave well and fulfill my obligations as a lover."
Looking at Lilu looking like a naughty pig sister, and remembering the cowardly way Lilu cried that time, Christina couldn't help but hit her on the head.
