Chapter 1610 It’s hard for Fujitaka and her daughter to bear
The cold wind howled in the courtyard in winter, and the Ji warrior who was serving in the courtyard was sent out by Yiyin. The closed sliding door on the porch could faintly hear the unsuppressed sounds of some people begging for mercy.
There were fire pots lit in the four corners of the room, and it was as warm as spring. Hosokawa Fujitaka twitched his body, like a fresh fish that had just been caught ashore. He flicked it from time to time, but in the end he always collapsed unwillingly.
Yiyin is in a very happy mood, and today he can seize the opportunity to be alone and avenge his shame.
Speaking of which, Mitsuhide Akechi and Fujitakama Hosokawa are indeed a pair of good friends who love and kill each other.
While fighting side by side, Akechi Mitsuhide made a lot of plans, and Hosokawa Fujitaka resolutely executed them. The two women cooperated perfectly, making Yoshigami cry and cry out.
This time, without the vixen Mitsuhide Akechi to make plans and assist in the flanking attack, Hosokawa Fujitaka was alone and dared to greedily ask for valuable seed. Naturally, it was her turn to be tortured to the point of calling her father for mercy.
It was clear that Kawafuji Takashi was already on his knees begging for mercy, but Yoshiyin refused to go around her. Don't you want your precious seed? I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you.
Only when Hosokawa Fujitaka was completely reduced to a dead fish did Yoshigage stop with satisfaction, all he needed was a cigarette afterwards.
Yoshigan rested on the pillow in the main seat. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was lying on the ground, was sweating profusely, but he just breathed a sigh of relief and struggled to get up to serve the saint.
Holding her in his arms, Yiyin wiped her sweat with a towel and said softly.
"Tired?"
Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled and shook his head.
"I'm so happy that I died."
Yiyin laughed teasingly.
"If you really don't fear death, don't call Guangxiu next time and sneak over to me yourself."
Hosokawa Fujitaka was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shook his head repeatedly.
"Sage, spare your life."
Yiyin smiled slightly, covered her belly with his hand, and said.
"Why spare your life? I am granting you your life."
Hosokawa Fujitaka held Yoshigage's hand on his lower abdomen with a gentle expression on his face.
"I hope that this time I can give birth to a noble descendant of God and live up to the saint's kindness."
Yoshigami shook his head, remembering the different experiences of Shima Katsuki and Yuigahama Yui, and sighed.
"This kind of thing is really not a matter of living up to good intentions, it is... it's very complicated anyway.
All in all, don’t overthink it, as long as you and I get together more when we have time, it will happen sooner or later."
Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled.
"Of course I would like to come more often, but the saint is busy with his affairs and has many people to deal with. I'm afraid I won't be able to get my turn."
Yiyin sighed.
"It was me who lost my money."
Hosokawa Fujitaka's face turned pale, and he was so frightened that he quickly explained, fearing that Yoshigan might misunderstand.
"The saint brought peace to the world and sacrificed himself. It's too late for me to admire you, so how dare I have any disrespectful thoughts.
I just feel sorry for the saint’s hard work and I hope I can help you solve your problems.”
Yiyin smiled bitterly.
The cheat of always being sixteen makes him eternally youthful, and the cheat of never making a mistake in his life makes him holy and inviolable. He almost believes that he is a god.
Even though he lives a more dissolute life than a prostitute, it's amazing that the Ji warriors can still imagine his indestructible image.
Yoshigami remained silent, holding Hosokawa Fujitaka in his arms. The two enjoyed a moment of tranquility and tenderness, and eventually returned to reality.
Afterwards, Hosokawa Fujitaka dressed and returned to his seat after serving Yoshigan, and the two of them talked about business.
Hosokawa Fujitaka asked.
"The saint is going to Kanto?"
Yiyin nodded.
"The aftermath of the Battle of Shiba Oda has not yet been resolved. The Kanto Allied Forces have sacrificed a lot this time. I am going to appease the sentiments of the Kanto samurai family and eliminate hidden dangers."
Yiyin put it euphemistically, but it was actually cutting other people's flesh to compensate the Kwantung Allied Forces. However, the cutting of meat required coordination. It was best for Yiyin to be in charge of dividing the meat, so as not to cause any big conflicts.
Hosokawa Fujitaka naturally understood, but she was always a little uneasy about Yoshigami leaving Konkyo.
"Sage, after hearing that His Majesty Oda bowed his head at Fushimi Castle, he went back to Azuchi Castle to prepare for the conquest next year. It is so fast that it is disturbing."
Yiyin smiled.
"Oda Nobunaga has always been ambitious, and this is not the first day you have known about her character.
But you don't have to worry, I have reached an agreement with her regarding Xikonji.
Matsunagahide of Yodo Castle controls the gateway to the Yodogawa River and enters Settsu Country's water transportation hub. Oda Nobunaga must hold Matsunagahide in his hands, otherwise the Oda family's military will not dare to penetrate deep into Settsu Country.
But Oda Nobunaga has assured me that she has no intentions against Kitakawachi. As long as you ensure the safety of Mibuchi Fujihide and allow the Oda family to step down with dignity, the Oda family will not interfere with Hosokawa's housework."
Hosokawa Fujitaka breathed a sigh of relief.
What she was most worried about was that when Oda Nobunaga returned to Nishi Konki, he would use the pro-Oda faction headed by Mibuchi Fujihide to stir up trouble among the Hosokawa-Mibuchi family.
Although Hosokawa Fujitaka has already controlled the territory of the Mibuchi family through the Hosokawa Retainers Group, as long as Oda Nobunaga does not give up, Mibuchi Fujihide's power may be revived.
"It would be great if Your Majesty Oda is willing to abide by the agreement."
Yiyin said comfortingly.
“Oda Nobunaga’s primary target in Nishikonki’s strategy was Araki Murashige in Settsu Province, but the strategic focus was actually on Ishiyama Honganji Temple.
The conflict between the Oda family and the Ichijo clan is too deep, and I am stuck in the middle. It is better to go to Kanto to take care of some things, and wait until Ishiyama Honganji Temple is convinced after suffering, and then come back to mediate."
Hosokawa Fujitaka suddenly realized.
"I see, the saint is wise, but Fujitaka is far inferior to him."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"Futaka is extremely intelligent, so don't underestimate yourself. The Izumi-Hosokawa family are my most important allies in Nishikonji, and you and I are one and the same.
You don't have to worry about the Oda family's siege in Nishikonchi.
Oda Nobunaga promised me that except for the Ishiyama area, she would not cross the Yodo River and invade the territory on the south bank, so the security of the Hosokawa family's territory in Kitakawachi is not a problem.
If the Oda family fails to abide by the agreement, you can directly send a letter to Fushimi Castle to appeal.
Fushimi Castle will be my government office, and the Oda family will also have permanent representatives stationed at Fushimi Castle, and ministers stationed on both sides will coordinate disputes between the two families."
Hosokawa Fujitaka said calmly.
"It would be great if both sides have channels to communicate at all times to avoid misjudgments."
Yiyin smiled.
"Instead of worrying about the Oda family, you should worry about Ichibuki Mune. The stronger party tends to follow the rules, but the weaker party is more likely to jump over the wall.
The decadent Buddhist regiments at Ishiyama Honganji Temple are no match for the new army of Oda's long guns and iron cannons. I'm worried that Master Mianru will take desperate risks.
Ishiyama and Sakai Port are integrated. If Ishiyama goes crazy, the safety of Sakai Port will depend on the protection of the Hosokawa family to prevent the war from spreading and affecting the order of Sakai Port.
In addition, the Kii Kuni Zaga Sect is a member of the Uchiboku sect. Although Suzuki Shigehide is a pragmatic and calm person, there are many religious fanatics within the Zaga Sect, so we must be on guard against them.
The Zagres of Kii Country are going to support Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and Izumi Country is caught in the middle. It is very embarrassing. You must deal with this issue and not get involved in the war.
Although this war has nothing to do with me, I may even be the one who mediates between the Oda family and the Ichikai clan after the war.
But on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight, and outside the battlefield, they can be used for everything. Fujitaka, you have to be careful when dealing with them, neither the Oda family nor the Ichigo clan are good enemies."
