Yoshigan Shiba, who had just washed away the dust of his travels, sat on the main seat and accepted the greetings from Isono Wataru Masaru.
"The imperial palace is safe."
Yiyin smiled.
"Isono-sama, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you still look as heroic as before."
The brave Isono Masaru is the most powerful general in the Asai family after Akao Kiyosuna, and is deeply trusted by Asai Nagamasa. She has been stationed at Sawayama Castle on the north and south Omi fronts, and has a heavy responsibility.
In this battle of Shangluo, all the armies gathered in Zuohe Mountain Castle, which made her even more busy and had nowhere to stay. If it weren't for Shiba Yiyin's noble status, she really wouldn't have time to come to see him, which was a waste of time.
At this time, she said with a smile.
"The imperial office is still as beautiful as before, even better than before. After a few years apart, I never thought I would have the opportunity to serve under you again. It's a great honor."
Isono Danmasa said it politely, as if he had been Yoshigan's subordinate back then. Yoshigan also smiled and didn't take it seriously.
In the past three years, Yiyin's status has soared. Looking back on the past, not only others were surprised, but he himself was also deeply touched.
Now that I meet the old people from those days, I can’t help but feel a little emotional as I reminisce about them.
he said.
"Back then, you and I fought side by side, fighting against the Rokkaku family in Noragada.
Now, we are about to go to war with the Rokkaku family again. Things in the world are like the cycle of the four seasons, repeated over and over again, which is really sad."
Isono Yuanmasa smiled.
"The Imperial Palace is so prestigious that the whole world looks at it with special attention. The Liujiao family mantis acts as a chariot. Before the war even started, the two groups were so frightened that they started to fight. They were in panic all day long.
It is difficult for heaven to tolerate the three good things of going to Luo to kill the king. The great righteousness of the imperial court to go to Luo is blessed by the destiny of heaven, and it is invincible."
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"How come you, a fierce general, have learned how to make a fool of yourself? Don't let your martial arts go to waste.
This time in Shangluo, I'm still waiting for you to break the formation and kill the enemy for me."
Isono Yuanmasha said solemnly.
"It is my duty to go into battle and kill the enemy. I should wear armor and be sharp and fight for the sake of the emperor.
It's just that the words I said before were not lies. They were spoken from the bottom of my heart and were never exaggerated.
Not only were the Rokkaku family scared out of their wits by you, but the Miyoshi family in Kyoto also had trouble sleeping and eating. News came that the Miyoshi family and three others were on an envoy to Kannonji Castle and were visiting Rokkaku Yoshiji.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu's envoy has arrived at Sawa Mountain Castle and has been waiting for your arrival and wants to see you."
Yoshihiro's face darkened when he heard that Miyoshi and the other three were entertained at Rokkaku's house.
Rokkaku Yoshiharu really doesn't know how to praise. What does she mean by welcoming the Miyoshi family? She thinks that by colluding with the Miyoshi family, she can stop the Shangluo army?
You must know that Miyoshi and the others are the criminals who killed the general, and the martial arts in the world avoid him. Rokkaku Yoshiharu does not know how to avoid suspicion, he is deliberately seeking death.
Originally there was still a glimmer of hope that the Rokkaku family would know the truth, but Yoshigami didn't want to kill all the famous Minami Omi clan.
Without the Rokkaku family, the tentacles of the Oda family will quickly penetrate deep into Konki and reach the land of Minami Omi. This is not good for Yoshigan.
The best result is that Rokkaku Yoshiharu cooperates with Shangluo, and Yoshigan will help her to prevent the Oda Asai family from pushing too hard.
Even if the territory has to be reduced and the muscles and bones are stretched, at least part of the family business can be saved.
But Rokkaku Yoshiharu chose a dead end, so she couldn't blame others for sending her down the road.
Yiyin sneered.
"Since Rokkaku Yoshiharu is willing to entertain the three good people, why did he send an envoy? She is complicit in the regicide rebellion, and the direct descendants of the Genji family in Kawachi will seek justice from her.
Expel her envoys from the country, and when the army arrives in Luo, I will go to Guanyin Temple City to talk to her clearly!"
Isono Umasa bowed and said.
"The envoy said that she was angry with you, and I originally thought the same way. But the envoy said that she has an old relationship with you.
I came here this time for both official and private reasons. Even if the official duties are unsuccessful, I still have my own private matters that I hope to be received by the imperial office."
Yiyin asked with a frown.
"Who's coming?"
"Pu Shengxianxiu."
Yoshihiro glanced outside the door subconsciously, and seemed to see the Hamo family who were loyal to their duties and guarding the door.
"It's her..."
Seeing that Shiba Yoshigage was thoughtful, Isono Yuanmasa bowed and said.
"Because she said she had a personal relationship with you, I didn't drive her away. I wanted to wait until you arrived before dealing with her.
Do you think this person still needs to be deported?"
Yiyin shook his head and said.
"No need, this person is indeed old to me. My Tong Xin Zhong Bi Tou Pu Sheng clan outside the door is her daughter."
Isono Danmasa unexpectedly glanced at the sliding door and vaguely saw the figure of Kamao Clan reflected on the paper door. He nodded and thought to himself.
This Kenhide Kamao is a powerful person who makes bets on all sides and is smart in all directions. She lives in the Rokkaku family, her daughter is kept here at the Odaisho, and her brothers-in-law and sisters work for Oda Nobunaga in Kitaise.
This skill of riding three boats is really amazing and worth learning.
After a hundred years of chaos, the warrior family's concept of loyalty has become increasingly weak, and there are fewer and fewer Ji warriors who adhere to justice.
The Isono family was originally a retainer of the Kyogoku family, and then switched to the Asai family. When the Asai family fails, Isono Masha will also try to change his master.
Her idea was similar to that of Takatora Toudo. But when Kenhide Kamao knew about it, he would smile bitterly and be speechless. She wanted to be loyal but couldn't, and followed a foolish master.
Yoshigan didn't know how Isono Wanmasa thought about Kamao Kenhide. He said hello to the outside, and Kamao clan opened the sliding door and bowed.
"Lord Isono, could you please bring this person in?"
"Hi!"
"Pushengji, your mother is here to see you, please come in and sit down first.
You mother and daughter haven't seen each other for two years. It's time for her to take a good look at you. You have become an excellent Ji warrior."
Pusheng's village was stunned at first, and then couldn't hide his joy.
These days, she was also secretly worried whether the Battle of Shangluo would harm Pu Sheng's family? It would be great to be able to see her mother now.
In the hearts of the Kamo clan, Shiba Yigen is his invincible master. If the Rokkaku family resists the heavenly soldiers, it will definitely end badly.
She secretly made up her mind that she must take this opportunity to persuade her mother to put family business first and abandon the dark side for the bright side.
