Pu Shengshixiang felt that his body was heavy with heat, but his mind was drifting.
She hugged the saint's neck tightly with her hands and buried her head deeply in the saint's chest. The tip of her nose was filled with his masculine scent. Her mind went blank and she didn't want to think about anything anymore.
Kamojigo didn't know, but Ii Naomasa in the distance watched Yoshigan carrying Kamojigo back to his house, his teeth grinding.
After a long while, Naomasa Ii sighed and gave orders to the people around him.
"The saint is tired today. He sees no outsiders and blocks all non-military matters."
"Sir, if Lord Maeda Yoshida comes..."
"I said! Block them all! Don't you understand what I say!"
"Hi! Hi!"
Naomasa Ii suddenly exploded, shocking his subordinates to the point of bowing and admitting their mistake.
She was so irritable that she waved her hands and told her subordinates to go away. She looked at the winter scenery in the courtyard, feeling sad.

After that, Yoshigami stayed in Iga Ueno Castle for a few more days, fed Maeda to his heart's content, and then headed to Yamatoguchi, entering the Nara Basin from the Iga Basin, preparing to return to the home city of Tamonyama Castle.
Halfway through the journey, the cavalry met a nun sent by Kofukuji Temple.
It turned out that Master Changjue, the head of Xingfu Temple, learned that the saint had returned to his hometown and sent someone to wait on the road early. He wanted to invite the saint to visit Xingfu Temple as a courtesy to the landlord.
Speaking of which, Kofukuji Temple and the Shiba family were the earliest partners. Master Nagakaku provided a lot of support to Yiyin in the early years, and the relationship between the two parties was very harmonious.
After the rise of the Shiba family, they have been helping Kofukuji Temple Chief Kaku suppress Tsutsui Junkei, which made Tsutsui Junkei obviously have the advantage, but he was still unable to annex Yamato and became a heroine who dominated the country.
Over the years, Tsutsui Junkei seems to have given up and has become much more settled.
Relying on Kofukuji Temple, the Shingon Sect was finally able to rule the Yamato Buddhist Kingdom stably. Master Nagakaku's practice of ceding Peking University and exchanging asylum for the Shiba family became a political maneuver approved by the Shingon Sect.
Since it was Master Changjue's warm invitation, Yiyin decided to give this old friend a face and turned to Xingfu Temple for a day's rest.
There are three people sitting in the Zen room, and the scent of sandalwood brings out the thoughts of otherworldly Buddhism, making the mind peaceful.
Yoshigan sat in the main seat and listened to Master Nagakaku's lecture on Zen. The guest on one side was Master Tenkaku, also known as Kitahata Yujiao.
The Kitahata family is a famous family in Minami Ise, hereditary Ise Kuniji, and is the nominal ruler of Ise.
The main body of the samurai government is the three clans, one is Minamoto, the second is Taira, and the third is Fujiwara.
The Genpei clan was the son of the emperor who was released, granted ministerial status, and given a surname. The Fujiwara clan was the head of the public family.
Thousands of years ago, the Fujiwara clan originated from the emperor's relatives, and they were married to the emperor for generations. They used the name of Guanbai Regency to evade the emperor, and ruled the world as a public official. This was called the government of Guanbai in history.
After the Fujiwara family became rich, their descendants continued, and there were mainly four branches in later generations, which were powerful in the court and local areas.
The third generation shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu massacred the emperor's court and destroyed Shintoism, but he was unable to eradicate the local Fujiwara clan branch because they were already closely integrated with the local samurai family.
In the end, the Ashikaga Shogunate could only recognize the samurai status of these Fujiwara clan, and the local Fujiwara clan mainly came from two branch families, namely the Fujiwara North Family and the Fujiwara Minami Family.
In other words, after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu destroyed the Emperor's family, the Fujiwara North family and Fujiwara Minami family that remained were the samurai families.
On the other hand, not all Genji are samurai, there are also public-style Genji, and the head of the Kitahata family is one of them.
The Kitahata family originated from the common family of the Murakami Genji family. Murakami Genji was one of the twenty-first-class Genji clan, and he was also the Genji with the most noble blood status.
The Kawachi Genji, to which the shogun belongs, originated from the Seiwa Genji, because during the Seiwa Emperor's period, the number of descendants who were sent to foreign countries was the largest, but they were not as noble as the Murakami Genji.
But there are advantages to having more people. The Genji in Kawachi, who was born in the Seiwa Genji family, produced generals for generations and eventually became the pillars of the samurai family and established a political regime belonging to the samurai family.
Originally, Genji Murakami was the elder, but he couldn't bear the fact that the direct descendant of the Genji in Kawachi had the ability, so the whole world was taken away from him, and the title of elder Genji was naturally taken away.
The Kitahata family, a branch of the Murakami Genji family, was a member of the middle court family, and was a rare military general among the public Genji family.
In the war to overthrow the Emperor's court in the early days of the Ashikaga Shogunate, the Kitahata family suffered a lot from the Ashikaga Shogun. In the end, they were outnumbered and forced to surrender.
The Kitahata family was indeed capable. The Ashikaga shogunate did not want to cause more trouble, so it simply made the Kitahata family the Ise Imperial Secretary, becoming a rare imperial official in the samurai regime, which could be regarded as turning officialdom into military affairs.
At the time of Kitahata Gokaku's generation, the Kitahata family was still not weak in fighting power. They unified the Southern Ise and coveted the Northern Ise. This frightened the Northern Ise samurai family and sought refuge with the powerful Rokkaku family at the time.
Unfortunately, it is not as good as fate. The Rokkaku family and the Kitahata family are competing for hegemony in Ise country. Who knows that a monster Oda Nobunaga appears in Owari country.
The Oda family rose rapidly, killed the Rokkaku family, and invaded Minami Ise. Kitahata Tomokazu had no choice but to surrender, and welcomed Oda Nobunaga's sister Oda Shinboshi as his heir, and changed his name to Kitahata Shinboshi.
Originally, according to the tradition of the samurai family, the Kitahata family knelt and licked like this, and the bloodline could be replaced by the Oda family. They just wanted to keep the family name, and that was the end of the matter.
However, Kitahata Shinbao is not a good person and insists on breaking the rules. He wants to eradicate Kitahata Gujiao and her two daughters, who have already lived in seclusion, so as to avoid future troubles.
Rabbits know how to bite when they are anxious, let alone Kitahata Tutor, a master swordsman.
Originally, Kitahata Guojiao wanted to fight to the death, but she remembered that before her friend Nobutora Takeda left, he once advised her that if the Oda family left no room, she could go to Shiba Sage for reasoning.
The Kitahata family completely surrendered in accordance with the tradition of the samurai family, but the Oda family wanted to break the rules and kill people to seize land, which was not in line with the principles of the samurai family.
Sage Shiba is the incarnation of the martial arts principles, and he will naturally uphold justice.
As a result, Shiba Yoshigan came forward and took the two daughters of Kitahata Matukyo under their surname. Kitahata Matukyo then went to Kofukuji Temple to become a monk, taking the Buddhist name Tenkaku, finally preserving the bloodline of the Kitahata family.
Kitahata was so grateful that he instigated the riots in the Ise samurai family when Shiba Oda started the war, so that Kitahata was unable to support the Oda army. Later, Oda Nobunaga was furious and severely punished.
It is true that if you get the right way, you will get a lot of help, but if you get the wrong way, you will get little help.
