It was almost dark when I came back with two pheasants.
It's very dangerous to cross the mountain at this time. If you can't see clearly the mountain road, you will die if you fall, so you can only spend a night in the wild.
Yi Yin said as he watched Li Yi skillfully make several vigil traps and then pluck and disembowel the pheasant.
"Actually, you don't have to go alone. Didn't you and I work together during the winter hunting? Those villains are not our opponents."
Benefit was stunned.
"Did you see it?"
"It took me so long to come back, and the clothes on my body are still stained by sneaking and getting dirty. After all, you taught me how to do it. I can still understand the tricks in the mountains and forests."
Ever since that night, Benefit has become particularly alert.
The road exploration and overnight guarding were done perfectly. Yiyin had no chance to kill a few villains on the road to increase the killing value.
"That night was not your fault. With that person's methods, even if he entered the Qingzhou Castle Castle Tower to take the head of His Highness Oda, he could advance and retreat freely."
Benefit has always been arrogant and regarded his martial arts as a matter of pride. But Guo Xin's methods are strange and unpredictable. This kind of hermit will kill someone for living expenses, and he will have to kneel down when the army is stationed. It's really no wonder that Benefit is there.
Benefit doesn't think so. Ever since she joined Shiba, Yiyin has been taking care of her everywhere. As a proud warrior Ji, how could she endure the humiliation of her master?
Although the Lord was slept with by Oda Nobunaga, he slept with himself, and the assassin threatened the Lord with his own life, so he slept with the Lord.
But in Ben Yi's heart, the Lord is a pure and innocent young man, and everything is the fault of this troubled world.
As a result, he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Shiba family, and was humiliated again and again.
Seeing the benefit, Yiyin didn't say anything, so Yiyin couldn't say much, so he changed the topic.
"However, Yi Ji Ji is really powerful. Every time the bandits' ambush was cleared by you in advance, I haven't killed a single wild samurai these days."
Benefit smiled proudly.
"That's because they are stupid. Bandits don't hide in the woods all day long. The mountain wind is so strong that no one can stand it if it blows too much. If you want to ambush people coming and going, you must have intelligence.
There must be their spies in the mountain villages we pass through. We only need to disclose the departure time and route, and in turn we can catch their tail."
Yiyin couldn't help but applaud her. When her brain wasn't busy, the benefits were quite reliable.
The benefits did not float around for too long, he said calmly.
"The main reason is that the people who ambushed us were scum like bandits and gangsters. If it was the Koga and Iga clans who took action, it would not be that simple.
It’s strange, we have reached their sphere of influence, why haven’t we been attacked.”
The confusion of interests is also a question that Yiyin is thinking about.
After getting Guoxin's prompt, he and Yiyi chose to go to Kyoto from the mountainous area in the northwest of Ise.
In order to reduce attacks, we chose the junction line between Omi and Iga to advance.
The Iga Mountain area here belongs to the Iga clan's sphere of influence, while the southern Omi mountainous area is the territory of the Koga clan.
The two groups of ninjas had a bad relationship, so they passed through the middle area in the hope of reducing the probability of being attacked.
Now it seems that the effect is so good that people can’t believe it.
"Fifty ken is not a small amount for the people of these countries. The Shiba family has fallen again. No one will care if something happens to me, the Owari samurai, in recent days.
Someone should try this kind of bounty that makes money without risk."
Yi Li's eyes lit up.
"Maybe something happened recently."
Yiyin was given some advice by her, and her thoughts opened up.
"Yes. If there is a sign of a war in recent times, the samurai families will definitely hire ninjas from Iga and Koga to spy on the enemy's situation."
Interest interface.
"With a big business like war, where the whole village is fed, the small sum of fifty guan can be thrown away first."
The two looked at each other, understood, and laughed together.
At this time in Kyoto, at the Flower Palace, Wada Weimasa eagerly asked to see Ashikaga Yoshiteru.
"Master Gongfang, there is news from the Rokkaku family that the Miyoshi family has been in contact with the Asai family."
Wada Weimasa's low voice made Ashikaga Yoshiteru twitch his brows.
"Is this true? Isn't it a plan of the Rokkaku family?"
Ever since the Rokkaku family sought the position of guardian of Kitaomi River, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has been more vigilant. Although the Ashikaga family has been weakened, they are not idiots who can be fooled casually.
Wada Weimasa nodded and said.
"There is also verified news from Iga. It was Anzhai Fuyasu, the sister of the Miyoshi family governor Nagakei, who was sent as envoy to the Asai family, and Asai Nagamasa, the daughter of the Asai family governor Kumasa, had a secret meeting with her."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked again.
"Asai Hisamasa, I remember her. She donated money to the shogunate last year and her attitude was respectful."
Wada Weimasa nodded.
"Yes. Hisamasa Asai has always advocated that the Omi matter should be resolved in Omi. Even though Rokkaku Sadayori persuaded the subordinates, they have never contacted the Miyoshi family.
It’s just that the war between the Asai family and the Rokkaku family has not gone well in recent years, and the young master Asai Nagamasa and some samurai families hope to make changes."
Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face turned ugly.
"So, the change they want is to contact the Sanhao family? These rebels!"
The Ashikaga family is the common master of the world, and even if their strength is weak, they are still recognized by the samurai family.
Therefore, Ashikaga Yoshiteru can justifiably call the Hime Samurai who opposes her a traitor.
But the reality is that the powerful and rebellious Miyoshi family has already overwhelmed the Ashikaga family. Ashikaga Yoshiteru can only watch them causing trouble, but there is nothing he can do.
At the same time, in Owari Kiyosu Castle Town, Takada Yukino also felt that she had no choice.
After making an agreement with her sister, Yukino started to challenge the sword gym with great interest, but things did not go as smoothly as she thought.
It's not because she is weak, it's because she is too strong.
Several sword halls in Qingsu Castle Town were overturned, but something serious almost happened yesterday.
She struck the knife too fast and disemboweled the owner. If she hadn't suppressed the blade in the end, the poor owner would have been cut in two.
Fortunately, he was rescued in time and no one died. He finally had an explanation for his sister. However, because he was forced to stop the knife, she was injured by her own strength and had to rest for a few days before she could continue the challenge.
It is much harder not to kill someone than to kill someone. Yukino discovered this truth helplessly, what should she do? She may not be so lucky next time.
Wandering aimlessly in the castle town, thinking about swordsmanship without killing anyone, she saw a sword shop on the side of the road.
I remembered that this shop seemed to be quite famous. The owner was a very good swordsmith, and the Oda family's Hime samurai all liked to come here to choose samurai swords.
After thinking for a while, Yukino walked in.
"Welcome. What does this warrior-sama want to buy?"
The landlady is a strong woman, and her arms are thicker than the average person's thighs. This is the result of her arm strength gained from years of forging iron.
"I want to buy a knife. Well... are there any knives that don't kill people?"
The landlady was stunned by Yukino's words. She didn't know how to answer. Judging from Yukino's dress, she didn't look like a gangster who came looking for trouble.
Yukino stared at the landlady seriously. The landlady scratched her chin, had an idea and said.
