Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth another battlefield
In the distance, two people from the mountain, Xing Sheng, were looking at each other in disbelief.
They watched the whole process carefully, and when the play was over and everyone dispersed, they cautiously stepped forward to ask.
"grown ups.."
Yamanaka Yukimori glanced at them with a cold face, his murderous aura made them tremble in fear.
"Don't reveal the slightest bit of what happened today. If I hear the news outside, I will chop off your heads with my own hands!"
"Hi!"
The two of them bowed deeply and looked at each other with a sideways smile, thinking that it was bad luck. There were so many people inside and outside the residence. If others were to leak out, how unjust it would be for them to die.
In fact, they were worried that Yukimori Yamanaka was also afraid of leaks. Aren't Takeo Shima and Yoshihiro Shiba afraid? This is a huge scandal!
Irrespective of Shima Shengmeng's return, Shiba Yoshigan passed by the Kamao clan and continued walking to the residence.
"Get up."
"Hi! Thank you, Yu Taisuo."
Kamo Shigo followed Shiba Yiyin back closely, knowing in his heart that he had made a big mistake today.
She was also aggrieved. Although she knew that the two adults loved the Lord, she really didn't know that the Lord would respond in kind.
Speaking of which, the master is the general's imperial office. If he exposed this scandal, will he be silenced?
Kamouso clan lowered his head and followed, his head already covered with cold sweat from fear.
"Kamohime."
"Hi!"
"What happened today..."
"Don't worry, Imperial Guard! Nothing happened today! I didn't see anything, and neither did everyone else!"
Yiyin looked back at Pu Sheng's hometown, saw her firm eyes, and nodded.
"I can trust you. Those little girls from Tongxinzhong, can you guarantee that?"
"Please rest assured that the imperial office is your Tongxinzong, and they can only see what you need them to see.
If someone cannot keep his mouth shut, the dead cannot speak."
Yiyin sighed and stopped talking.
At this time, he couldn't care less about feeling sorry for the half-grown girls in the community. He hoped that they wouldn't be stupid. The Kamao clan was not a soft-hearted Shiba Yoshigan.
She would literally kill for this.

Shiba Yigen barely suppressed the duel between Yamanaka Yukimori and Shima Shengmu. He spent a frightened night, but fortunately everything was calm.
The next day, Yamazaka Yukimori officially came to report, and then went with the army to station in Suwon Castle. Shima Shengmeng was sorting out military affairs at Kantō Shibazhong, and the two never met again.
But Yoshigan knew that this peace was based on the Kanto strategy. They were fully aware of the difficulties faced by the Shiba family in advancing in Kanto, and the hard work of Shiba Yoshigan.
Staying quiet was their noble quality as a righteous warrior family, loyal to their master, and able to distinguish between public and private affairs. But the hypocritical harmony between the two of them was completely torn to pieces by this accident.
Shima Shengmu knew that she was guilty of a serious crime, but she insisted that only Shiba Yigen had the right to judge her. Yamanaka Yukimori had low ability and unworthy moral character. It would be a shame to die by her sword.
Yamanaka Yukimori knew better that it was not just Shima Katsuki who had done shameless things, but she had also done such things herself. The shame and inferiority deep in her bones made her almost go crazy.
She wished she could stab Dao Shengmeng to death with a knife, and then stab herself to death.
The two of them have not given up the idea of getting married, because this is their only way to salvation.
As long as you get married, your previous sins can be laughed off. As long as you get married, you can justifiably give the other person a knife and let the other person die clearly.
Yoshihiro Shiba had a hard life. He worked hard in Kanto. How could the two of them watch him suffer and undermine him behind their backs?
The Lord needs prosperity in the mountains, victory on the island, and a united group of Shiba retainers to conquer the Kanto Plain.
The victory or defeat between the two sides is no longer a sword duel, but a matter of loyalty to the Shiba family and gaining the favor of Shiba Yiyin.
A night of calm allowed both parties to tacitly avoid each other and work towards a common goal.
But they are all deliberately avoiding the reality that Shiba Yiyin is the general's fiancé. Maybe they are just forgetful?
The military column went along the Agano River towards Suwon Castle, and Yamanaka Yukimori turned back to look at Yasuda Castle. Inside Yasuda Castle, Shima Katsuo looked at the advancing military force in the distance as if he had a tacit understanding.
The two invisible people sneered almost at the same time. One day, I will take the dog's head from your neck.
Inside the residence, Shiba Yoshigan sneezed hard. Kamao clan looked at the master worriedly and silently handed him a cup of hot tea.
Yiyin glared at her, but felt that she couldn't blame her for feeling guilty, and sighed helplessly.
After all, I still have a cold.

Let’s leave Yoshigan Shiba aside for now and turn his attention back to Hino Castle in Minamiomia.
Pu Shengxianxiu reluctantly put down the pen, shook the letter he had just written, read silently to see if the scale was suitable, and waited for the ink to dry.
Because of the commotion at Kanonji Temple, Rokkaku and her daughter were driven out of the castle and were in a state of panic all day long. They came to the Hino Castle of the Kamao family to seek mediation from Kenhide Kamao for some time.
Kenhide Kamao had nothing to say to Rokkaku Yoshiharu, the stupid household governor. What did he do?
If the Rokkaku family was a powerful family in the Rokkaku Sadeyori era, and you killed Goto Kentoyo with one strike, no one would dare to object.
Of course, the Goto family was also a staunch supporter of the master's family at that time, and Goto Kentoyo did not dare to speak out in front of Rokkaku Sadeyori.
However, after these two years, the two generations of family governors, Rokkaku Yoshiken and Yoshiharu, were defeated one after another, and the master's family's strength and authority were not as good as before.
So what if Rokkaku Yoshiharu killed Goto Kentoyo and his daughter? Goto Kentoyo's second daughter, Takaharu, succeeded to the throne. Not only did the Goto family's strength remain intact, they also had enough excuses to launch a riot at Kannon Temple and drive away the master.
Rokkaku Retainers were able to launch Goto Kentoyo and Rokkaku Yoshiharu to compete in the ring because they had been exhausted from years of fighting since the time of Rokkaku Sadeyori.
If they can win the battle and gain profits, the retainers can be patient, but the two generations of Rokkaku's retainers are incompetent!
Who followed the retainers back then? Rokkaku Sadayori, who was victorious in every battle! What about now? Rokkaku Yoshihide, Rokkaku Yoshiharu!
In the combined battle at Noryota, they had a huge advantage and lost the three Kita-Omi counties. Even the Koga County at home was still suppressed by the Iga army, which had only 100,000 koku of Maeda's interests.
Losing like this at home is shameless!
The Rokkaku mother and daughter came to the door for help, and Pu Shengxianxiu held her nose to receive her. In fact, she didn't really want to wade into this muddy water.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu's behavior was so bad that it broke the tacit understanding between the Rokkaku retainers and the master's family and broke through the bottom line of the tacit understanding between the two parties.
Known as the twin clans of the Rokkaku clan, the two most powerful clan retainers in the Rokkaku clan are the Goto family and the Shinto clan.
After years of growing strength, Kentoyo Shinto, the governor of the Shinto family, intended to get close to Rokkaku and his daughter in order to limit the aggressive power of the Gotou family.
However, as his master's family was defeated several times and faced with the mud that he could not support, Shindo Kenmori began to turn to neutrality.
This time Rokkaku Yoshiharu was so violent that he killed someone to vent his anger. In the name of revenge for his mother, Goto Takaharu forced the Shinto family to choose sides. What should Shinto Kenmori do?
Politics is the art of compromise. To get things done is to force all neutrals to side with the other side.
Kamao Kenhide was originally a retainer who was inclined towards the master's family, but Rokkaku Yoshiken had previously forced her to take sides in order to launch the Northern Expedition.
He forced her to seek refuge in Kyoto, and entrusted the land of his legitimate daughter Kamao clan to Yoshihiro Shiba, fearing that the descendants would be implicated.
Based on this crude political method, Pu Shengxianxiu also has no good impression of Rokkaku and his daughter.
