Du Fei saw that a boat had docked at the ferry not far away, and the two of them, who were still a little groggy, got on the boat.
After arriving at the other side, they changed into horses, and the speed of the journey suddenly accelerated. Although the road ahead was long, the terrain was flat and the road was wide. The three of them worked hard all the way, and within two days they arrived at Itsukushima, which was under the control of the Maori family.
Near the town.
"Ahead is Itsukushima Town~~It is said that the temple of the famous eminent monk Ankokuji Shoe is inside~~You must go in and worship." Miki seemed to be a devout Buddhist, and his eyes seemed to be full of yearning.
.
"That's right!" Kiyohei also echoed: "A person with the talent of Master Anguoji can be considered an eminent monk! Those Ixixiang sects are not authentic Buddhism at all! They are just tools for some ambitious people! Now people like Anguoji Zhenge insist on practicing Taoism.
There are very few masters of pure Buddhism."
Suddenly, all three of them heard a loud horn sound in the distance! They saw a large number of people wearing colorful straight clothes holding bows and arrows and galloping on their horses in the field not far away.
The leader has white beard and hair, and he looks very old. But his eyes are very bright and sharp, and he looks like a competitive person at first glance.
"That is the lord of the Mori family, Motonari Mori! This is a daimyo with extremely powerful power in China! It is said that he has almost controlled the entire China (Japanese place name) in the palm of his hand!" Miki looked at God in a way that seemed to be gazing at God.
He stared at the lively old man with his eyes: "He seems to be hunting according to the customs here?"
Suddenly Kiyobei shouted in a low voice: "Oh! Look! The Yoshikawa family and the Kobayakawa family are here too!"
Du Fei looked in the direction of his finger and saw two other groups of people following Maori Motonari's team on the flanks, but the leaders of the Yoshikawa family and the Kobayakawa family who were at the front of the team wearing gorgeous hunting uniforms seemed not to notice at all.
He seemed to be in high spirits, but completely lacked the aura of the feudal lord.
"Why are those two people so unhappy like eggplants beaten by frost?" Du Fei couldn't help but asked when he saw that the two of them didn't look like the famous names of one of the separate factions.
"Hehe, of course~" Kiyobei said with a smile: "They have surrendered to the Maori family. Although they are not completely occupied, they will obey the Maori family's command and dispatch in the future."
"Sir, let's go~" Miki saw that the people he was hunting were all famous people nearby, and he was afraid that their guards would mistake him for an assassin and arrest him.
"You guys go first! We'll meet up in the town ahead! I'm going to watch the excitement!" Du Fei's curiosity got the better of him again. He really wanted to see how elegant this famous man who dominated the Western Kingdom was.
"No~~" Miki and Kiyobei complained: "Don't cause trouble anymore~~~We have enough troubles~~"
"I'll be back as soon as I go!" Du Fei had already galloped away on horseback, and the horse's hooves kicked up a large amount of dust, leaving the two of them disgraced.
Du Fei rode his horse and quietly approached Maori Motoji's hunting team, keeping as far away as possible to avoid being discovered by them. I saw Maori Motoji's men and horses suddenly stopped at a temporary camp, and they all dismounted and entered the camp.
.
Du Fei also dismounted. He used his nimble skills to avoid the guards, sneaked into the camp, knocked a guard unconscious, put on Maori army clothes and walked out in a big way.
"What are you doing here?!" I saw a man in his thirties, with a thick build and a large armor, gesticulating at Du Fei: "Hurry up and change the guard at the lord's place! That guy Nanjo is having a stomachache!"
Du Fei pretended to nod and bow, and under the guidance of the man, he arrived at the temporary tent where Maori Yuanji was discussing. He saw that there were already two rows of soldiers standing there guarding, and there was a space for one person in the middle. He had an idea to fill it.
Got into that position.
I saw Mouri Yuan sitting upright in the middle. At this time, he was sitting upright with a solemn expression, as if he had something important to announce.
"Everyone!" Mao Liyuan put his hands into palms and made a strange gesture. He didn't know what the etiquette was. He looked at his subordinates on both sides. His son and subordinates nodded kindly: "My Mao Li family is safe.
The small place of Yiguo began to raise troops. After several generations of hard work, it has included most of China (Japanese place name). When I took over the position of family governor, at first I thought I could conquer the world in one fell swoop! But!
With this dream in mind, I have grown from a handsome young man to a white-haired old man~ Until now, the dream of dominating the world is still a dream~~ Everyone is old~Kumatani Nobunao~Look at your bald forehead.
You're four years younger than me!~~Fukuhara! We've only walked a short distance and you're already out of breath~~Were you the one who traveled across Kyushu overnight to deliver a message to Aki Country?"
Speaking of this, the old ministers around Moto Moto could not help wiping their eyes. The two feudal lords of the Yoshikawa family and the Kobayakawa family also shook their heads.
Mao Liyuan then said: "So~ we should arrange these young people as soon as possible and let them take up positions as soon as possible to continue the glory of our family~ I am already sixty-six years old, and I don't know how long I can last~~"
"Father! What are you talking about? You are so healthy~~" One of Maoli's sons quickly interrupted him.
When he saw Mao Liyuan, he waved his hand for him to sit down, and then continued: "Longyuan, don't interrupt me, listen to me. I am nearly seventy years old, and my sons Longyuan, Yuanchun, and Longjing are all
Now that I have grown up, I have decided that after a hundred years, my eldest son Long Yuan will take over my position as governor of the family~~" At this point, he suddenly paused and looked at the Yoshikawa family sitting next to him with a smile.
The two feudal lords of the Kobayakawa family: "I have three excellent sons~ but the two of them are younger than me~ What a pity~"
I saw the two feudal lords of the Yoshikawa family and the Kobayakawa family lowered their heads and sighed: "Yes~~ We have always dreamed about being as lucky as you~~"
"No need to dream now!" Mao Liyuan suddenly waved his hand: "You have always been my loyal allies! I have decided to adopt my two best sons, Yuan Chun and Long Jing, to your two families respectively! From now on, we will be a family.
!”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the house was shocked! Du Fei, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but admire Maori Motonari's resourcefulness after thinking about it carefully: On the surface, he "gifted" his two sons to others, but in fact, he was "gifting" his two sons to others.
He swallowed the Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa families into his belly~! If the two feudal lords have no heirs, then his two sons will inherit the armies and territories of the two families, and he will not have several sons to fight for the position of governor.
There was a dispute, and on the surface it seemed to be a great favor to the Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa families. It was really the best of all three!
Du Fei couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Mao Liyuan, only to see that his face was still solemn at this time, and he said goodbye to Yuan Chun and Long Jing as if it was a serious matter. It was as if he had suffered a big loss. Du Fei couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene.
I wrote a big word "service".
Mao Liyuan suddenly asked the waiter to bring some arrows. Everyone looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
He gave the three arrows to his three sons Takamoto, Motoharu, and Takakei respectively (now named Mouri Takamoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Kobayakawa Takakei), and asked them to break the arrows in their hands. The three sons hesitated.
The arrow broke easily.
Mao Liyuan smiled with satisfaction, tied up the three arrows and let them break them.
As a result, none of them could break this time.
"An arrow alone is weak and can be easily broken by others! But if three arrows are put together, it will be difficult for others to break it! What I want to say is that you three brothers will be like these three arrows in the future! Forever!
