In March of the first year of Eiroku, the Seto Inland Sea was sunny and sunny, and the warm climate in the southern part of Settsu was many times more comfortable than in the northern country. On this day, an important evaluation meeting was to be held at Akutagawa Mountain Castle, where most of the samurai of the Miyoshi family gathered. One day, while the family governor was returning to the stall, the warriors greeted each other and reminisced about old times.
Naito Munekatsu followed closely behind Matsunaga Hide. Compared with the high-spirited look when he took control of Tamba Country a few years ago, Naito Munekatsu had changed a lot. His originally fair complexion had turned dark, and a ferocious scar cut straight from his forehead. From the corner of his mouth, his whole demeanor changed from a pampered general to a murderous middle-aged warrior. He must have gone through a lot of ups and downs in these years.
The ministers soon saw this important minister whom they had not seen for many days, and were very surprised to see him in this guise. After a moment of awkward silence, Ichinomiya Seisuke smiled and greeted him: "Hahaha, welcome back Bizen Mamoru! This is The pacification of Tamba in the past few years was all due to the dedicated fighting of the Bizen garrison. It is said that the Hatano family has surrendered, which is really gratifying! Come on, please sit here!"
The people around him inadvertently glanced at Naito Munekatsu's left arm. He paused for a moment and then quickly looked away. Naito Munekatsu had long been accustomed to this. His left arm had been hanging down weakly. It was the result of the injury suffered during the Katsuragi River battle. Due to the arrow injury, his left arm still can't exert much strength. At most, his daily life is not affected. He is destined to miss the opportunity to draw a bow and shoot arrows.
Ever since the disastrous defeat in the Katsuragi River War, the Miyoshi family has changed a lot in recent years. The most obvious thing is that the Miyoshi retainers are not as eager for quick success and instant gain as before. After repeated thinking, the Miyoshi family samurai realized that they had ignored the most important information. , what is lacking is the cohesion of the Chinese people towards Sanhao Family.
Before the rise of the Miyoshi family, although many samurai families had risen successively, such as the Asakura family and the Saito family as far away as the Rokkaku family and the Ouchi family as recent examples, they were all successful examples. But these families have a clear special case. They either It is a legacy that the British masters have painstakingly built for a generation, or it is a noble family that has been in several countries for hundreds of years.
The Miyoshi family rose very late. During the Funaokayama War, he was only the head of the Hosokawa family. It was not until Hosokawa Harumoto annihilated Hosokawa Takakuni in the Big Mono Collapse that Miyoshi Gencho made a leap as the head of the family. Since then, it has only been twenty-five or six years since then, not to mention that Miyoshi Gencho was soon killed, and Miyoshi Nagakei's boyhood was dormant for more than ten years. It was only then that the battle at Taiheiji came to the attention of the Kinai heroes. .
It has only been fifteen years since that moment. Sanhaojia has risen so fast that it has expanded rapidly before it could complete effective integration. The bloated mechanism and bubbles all over the body made Sanhaojia look like an invincible behemoth, until The appearance of the Kira family gave them a head-on blow, and they were able to wake up the big fat man.
"Are you really awake? I see that's not necessarily the case!" Matsuzuki Nagahide smiled and greeted the samurai coming and going. In the eight years since Shihe Icun died in battle, Miyoshi Nagakei has relied more and more on him. Nowadays, no one in the Sanhao family knows that this person is the powerful talker in the Sanhao family. Apart from the elders of the family, such as Sanhao Yixian, Anzhai Dongkang, Sanhao Kangchang, and Sanhao Changyi, he is the most famous person in the family. Leader.
Not long after, Miyoshi Changqing appeared together with a young nobleman. It seemed that Miyoshi Changqing was in a very good mood. He was also in a mood to smile back at his subordinates, but the young nobleman next to him was a little uncomfortable. He had a sad face, as if his parents had just died. The name of this nobleman was Hatakeyama Takamasa.
The Lord sat down and the meeting began immediately. After some daily government affairs reports and approvals, Sanhao Changqing knocked on the head to remind the family governor that he was about to speak. The ministers hurriedly sat in solemnity until he nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Gentlemen! This is
The high house of the third house leader, the pillar of the shogunate, and the humerus of the imperial court, is now exiled by the rebellious minister Anmi Clan of the family for no reason. How can we, a hot-blooded man, endure such a rebellious traitor? We have decided to send troops to Hanoi to attack
Disobedient disciples can safely see the clan!"
"Yes!" The Miyoshi retainers group was shocked and leaned over to promise. As for Hatakeyama Takamasa's disgusted and disgusted expression, he was directly ignored. Everyone knew that this guy's brain was not very easy to use, otherwise he would not have been accepted by the retainer Anmi Mune.
The room is in exile, and Rokkaku Yoshihide will not be able to cheat his teammates with his attributes and deliver a fatal blow.
There is another point that the samurai here are unwilling to mention. Today, everyone knows that the Miyoshi family started from the business of betraying their masters. The leader of the Miyoshi family, Hosokawa Harumoto, is locked in a small courtyard of Bomonji Temple.
Never allowed to leave, Miyoshi Changqing shamelessly talks about benevolence, justice, loyalty and bravery. What psychological burden do these warriors have? It's not them who are scolding behind their backs. If the sky falls, there will be tall men to hold it up.
Hatakeyama Takamasa barely managed to finish the evaluation meeting. He spat as he watched Miyoshi Changqing leave, and said to his entourage with an unlucky look on his face: "If I tell you that this bastard actually wants our country of Hanoi, how dare you
Do you believe it? You really don’t know what you are after eating puffer fish bile. Even I can’t hold it from that stall in Hanoi, but this guy dares to take it! Bah!”
The attendants lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, but their staggering manners still betrayed their true intentions. You, a household governor, asked us if we believed what we were doing after you said it. It must not be a matter of glory that our country of Hanoi cannot be controlled. It's actually like this.
Are you sure there's no problem if you say it outright?
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Tange Morihi coughed heavily and calmed down the frivolous servants. Fortunately, the house governor was still yelling at Miyoshi Nagakei's back and did not notice the movement behind him. He knew very well that the Miyoshi family was monitoring Hatakeyama Takamasa all the time.
His words and deeds, the level of abuse just now, appeared countless times in the past few months, but the Mihaoshi family did not take any disciplinary action.
"Miyoshi Xiuden probably thinks that the lord is a very... interesting person!" Tange Mingzhi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. He couldn't understand why the family governor was so funny and dared to scold Miyoshi Changqing in front of his back. It seemed that the man who was far away from Miyoshi was so funny.
Qing can definitely hear it.
The group of more than a dozen masters and servants slowly left. Matsunaga Hidecai slowly walked out from the corner and looked at the quiet Shikiya community around him. It was time to rest in the afternoon. There was not a single pedestrian on the trail. Along the stairs
Slowly walked to a quiet Shikiya near the mountain town of Sannomaru.
The decoration in the house is simple, with only a fire pit and a few cooking utensils. The dancing flames in the fire pit indicate that someone is living there. A rope hanging from the roof is tied to a soup pot. I don’t know what ingredients are being stewed. You can smell the tangy aroma from a distance.
It seems that the owner of the house has not returned yet. Matsunaga Hide is not in a hurry, sitting calmly by the firepit and waiting.
After a while, the soup pot boiled and made a "gurgling" sound. For some reason, Matsunaga suddenly felt hungry in his stomach. He stood up and stretched out his hand to open the soup pot impatiently. At that moment, the steaming white air hit his face.
Go up and look at the delicious food in the soup pot. A human head is boiling in a pot of boiling snow water. The head is exactly the same as Matsunaga Hide! The two dim eyeballs are constantly bleeding. There is also a flush.
He grinned.
"Ah!" Matsunaga dropped the pot lid in shock and stumbled a few steps. A burst of gloomy laughter suddenly came from his head. This laughter was so familiar, just like the sound he made involuntarily when he was planning evil things. At this time
It was so painful to hear my own laughter again.
The originally normal room changed its appearance. The place that belonged to the entrance hall turned into a ball of thorns with barbs sticking out. The surrounding area was dark and exuded an ominous aura. Strange figures could be seen wandering around the room at any time.
The laughter became more and more strange, and a cold air spread from the tailbone to the back of the head, making Matsunaga Hide shiver.
Then the laughter became more and more unpleasant. It was like the harsh noise made when a steel knife scraped the cow bones rapidly. Matsuzuki Nagahide couldn't help shouting and got up. He jumped to his feet angrily and cursed: "Guoxin...
...Guo Xin...I know it must be you! Come out! Come out quickly!"
The harsh laughter suddenly stopped, and the eerie house saw light again and returned to its former peace and tranquility. The warm sunlight fell on his face through the cracks in the roof. The feeling of surviving a disaster actually made him a little lucky. This
At this time, the pleasant sound of shakuhachi slowly reached my ears.
A figure appeared in the room wearing a hat and dressed as a void monk. The shadowy figure became clearer and clearer, playing very beautiful music and dancing, giving people a particularly absurd feeling.
However, Matsunaga Hide did not make any move. He sat quietly and listened to a piece of music. He was actually in the mood to gently applaud to express his gratitude. Then he immediately lowered his face and waited for the nihilistic monk. He threatened: "Guoxin layman, please remember this."
Stay! I didn’t give you money and food so that you could use this ability to scare me, let alone try to use your illusions to deceive people!”
"...Lululu...hehehe!" The void monk let out a weird laugh, like the cry of some unknown bird. He put away his shakuhachi and knelt down as if to listen to his instructions.
"It's so disgusting! I have a dog that knows how to wag its tail when it sees its owner. How come I have such a bunch of wolves for nothing!" Matsunaga's eyes were so angry that they were about to burst into flames. In the end, he swallowed the bad breath and said coldly.
"I told you two years ago that you will be of great use in the future. Now it's time to use you. Prepare to go to Kyoto tomorrow and try to sneak into the Nijo Imperial Palace. I have a pair of decoctions here.
Leave it to you, your task is to add it to the food at the Imperial Palace, don’t ask why and don’t talk too much, just do your job well, and I will certainly reward you generously when the job is done.”
The void monk nodded and stopped moving. Matsuhisa Nagahide endured his anger and put a thick paper bag on the tatami, snorted and walked away.
After half an hour, some of the boiling soup pot overflowed and dripped into the fire pit, making a sizzling sound. A masked girl wearing black clothes appeared in the room unknowingly. Her long hair was tied up in a simple knot.
, because her facial features were covered by a black silk scarf, only her delicate features and delicate features could be seen.
He picked up a bowl of fresh mushroom stew and fish soup from the soup pot, gently lifted a corner of the silk scarf and took a taste. A satisfied smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and he said crisply: "Last time, that old bastard wanted to take advantage of me.
, he must be quite frightened this time! Let’s see if he still dares to mess with me! Geez!”
If Matsunagahide were here at this time, he would definitely find that the dialect the girl speaks is not Kinai accent, and the words and phrases used have the unique temperament of the Kitakyushu region. The voice that others think of as a southern accent and a northern accent becomes the sound of nature when spoken from this girl's mouth.
The sound even has a mesmerizing feeling that makes people fall into it.
At this moment, the Void Monk took off the hat, revealing the face of a dying old man. He coughed a few times and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "Do you remember the instructions just now? He sneaked into the Nijo Imperial Palace with the decoction and administered the medicine to the Imperial Palace.
During the meal, you must be careful this time. Don’t be too hasty when he doesn’t tell you the time, and be careful not to reveal your flaws and spoil the matter."
"I know. Master, you are so verbose! What that guy asked us to do must not be a good thing. Hmph!" The girl picked up the fragrant white rice and started eating it with mushroom stew and fish soup. In a short time, she finished a small bowl of rice.
, and finally licked the soup bowl like a greedy kitten.
The Void Monk coughed again for a while and glanced at the girl's silk scarf. It seemed that he could see the flower-like jade face hidden under it through the silk scarf. He said coldly: "My name is Guo Xin, and your name is also Guo Xin. You
Your future carries the mission of my past, and you should know the situation of our clan. I traveled all the way to bring you from Kyushu for the mission of our clan. I don’t care how much hatred you have for your country and your family, but you must not mess up our affairs.
Otherwise I will never let you off lightly."
The girl's body trembled and her movements returned to normal. After a moment of silence, she picked up the paper bag and glanced at the Void Monk: "This paper bag contains a cold decoction. If you take it for a long time, you will probably not be able to give birth to a boy."
Women, even if they are lucky enough to give birth to a child, they will be seriously ill, does Master know that?"
"So what if you know? So what if you don't know?" The Void Monk glanced over as if he didn't care, his eyes showing cold indifference and a sense of unreachable distance.
The girl frowned slightly and said: "That is the general's palace, Guan Bai's younger sister. Aren't you afraid of causing trouble? Do you know that doing so will destroy the future of the shogunate and the imperial court?"
The Void Monk smiled and said: "Isn't that just what you wanted? As the eighth generation grandson of Prince Huai Liang, you should be happy and happy as you have a blood feud."
"So many handsome men in the family have resigned themselves to their fate. How can I, a little girl, take revenge?" The little girl sighed, and Gu Ying said with self-pity, "And my cruel parents, who actually gave up their own daughter for fifty gold.
Sell it, they are so cruel, why do they ask me to avenge the country and the family! Master, your attitude is very strange, why do your clan want to do this? The shogunate has finally stabilized its foundation. If it is overthrown so easily, the whole world will suffer.
Is there anyone out there who can bring peace to the troubled times?"
"Humph! You don't need to worry about this!" Seeing the disbelief and suspicion flashing in the girl's eyes, the Void Monk knew that if she didn't explain clearly, she would probably have bad thoughts. He coughed awkwardly and sighed:
"You also know what kind of people our clan is. We were born to do lowly trades, from scavenging and collecting corpses to killing pigs and dogs, to working as coolies as witches, and even taking up lowly trades as wandering maidens. Kawara people are those nobles who are against us.
As we are called, we are like maggots hiding under the flashy society, symbolizing dirty and ugly things. This has lasted for a thousand years, a thousand years!
In the past thousand years, whether it was the government of the Regents, the administration of the Imperial Court, or the change of power in the samurai shogunate, we have been watching with a cold eye, unable to participate or get any benefits. After hundreds of years of chaos and chaos in the world, those people are still the aristocrats, or the
Those people are ministers, and we will always be untouchables, just because our ancestors were defeated, captured and demoted to slaves by the imperial court? Why should I feel sorry for this shogunate?"
The words of the Nihility Monk revealed an important message. The force he represents is a force that has been hidden in Japanese society for more than a thousand years. The Kawara people are the so-called untouchables. Their composition is almost like the caste system in India and the untouchables in the Ming Dynasty. All of Zhang Shicheng's old troops were victors and relegated losers to pariah status.
Since Emperor Ajin's Eastern Campaign, countless tribes have been defeated by the imperial court. Most of them have been absorbed and digested. Some of the stubborn resisters were demoted to pariahs because they couldn't let go of their hatred. After entering the Nara period, the imperial court attacked Ezo. The large-scale military operations brought many defeated Ezo prisoners. Most of these people were sent to mines or places with harsh conditions to be slaves, and a small number were demoted to untouchables.
By the middle of the Heian period, the group of Kawara people gradually stabilized. Minamoto Riki, the grandson of Minamoto Masanobu, the minister of the left, and the third official to the counselor, who served as Zuo Daiben, mentioned the group of Kawara people for the first time in "Zuo Yuki". A group of untouchables who make a living by slaughtering livestock and other despicable jobs can be mentioned by a high-ranking minister, which shows that this group is no longer an insignificant existence.
It has been more than five hundred years from the middle period of Heian to the present. The rulers of this world have experienced the government of the Imperial Palace, the samurai shogunate, and the end of the second shogunate era. The Kawara people, who are not included in the household registration and are not accepted by the world, are also Reproducing quietly, they are bystanders in every era. No matter how hard they struggle, they cannot get any forgiveness, so they are born to hate everything in this world. This is the case for the Void Monk Guoxin layman.
The name of the layman Guoxin comes from the troubled times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. He belongs to one of the several branches of the Kawara people in the temple group. Only the temple community can accept people of unknown origin. The layman Guoxin of all generations has traveled around the world practicing under this name. The magic of earth, the secret arts of India, and Siam gradually developed and now have become an extraordinary and important force among the people of Kinai and Kawara.
The girl's brows did not relax because of this. After thinking for a while, she suddenly giggled. The harsh laughter gradually made the void monk's mournful expression unsustainable, and it turned back to the droopy face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years. He smiled sinisterly: "I'm not afraid of you either. I believe that as long as you know that we are cooperating with Namatsu Nagahide, follow his instructions and do your thing well. After it is completed, it will be a good thing for you and the old man. You are so smart that you can definitely figure it out. Is this true?"
The girl's beautiful eyebrows danced gently. There was a faint smile in her big, watery eyes: "Does Master see the potential of Matsunagahide? I think he has hope of overthrowing the Miyoshi family and becoming the second of Miyoshi Changqing." Is that so? But he is too old, and his good-for-nothing son is not even half as capable as Nai’s father. Don’t blame Guo for his ugly words. He will be the first to be unlucky after the Sanhao family is over! Geez!”
The Void Monk sneered indifferently and said: "Don't you understand this truth? It's just a temporary measure at the moment. How can it be so easy to find powerful warriors to place bets? These warriors have great prejudices against our clan, even if The purpose of placing bets is to gain more profits. How can we swear allegiance like those stupid samurai? We Kawara people do not believe in gods and Buddhas... Besides, Matsunaga Hide is currently very powerful. We can take advantage of his big tree to enjoy the shade. , just kick him out when you see a more promising martial artist in the future. Take this moment to think carefully about how you can sneak into the Nijo Imperial Palace."
After a while, the Void Monk said a few words and left, leaving the girl Guoxin staring at the medicine bag in a daze. After a long time, she sighed: "We are both women. I had no grudges with you in the past and now, but I want to
To attack your child...don't blame me for being cruel! This is just the way the world is, don't blame me!"
…
In Echigo Kasugayama Castle, Kira Yoshitoki is like a hard-working little bee scurrying among the flowers, enjoying himself and sleeping until noon every day with his beautiful woman in his arms. The decadent life is simply a paradise. The retainers of the generation are also happy that the family governor has become enlightened and understands the important matters of human relations.
It is understandable that young people are greedy for novelty when people disturb their interest at this time. As time goes by, they will feel tired and get better gradually.
On this day, he was holding Naotora in his arms in the west pavilion. He only heard teasing laughter coming from the secret room: "A few days ago, I heard that little Ahu's marksmanship and archery skills swept through the Mutsu heroes, but little Ahu didn't know what else was going on.
Two big guns, one is a dead man's gun that can kill enemies in the battlefield, and the other is a living man's gun that cuts through waves and gives birth to children. How about letting little Ahu taste the marksmanship of this living gun today?"
After a while, a fierce battle was heard. The two sides were fighting fiercely. For the first time, the man asked the woman to take the female position. He patted Naohu's buttocks and joked with a smile: "Let this rouge horse like you try it too."
I have a taste of a female knight, but I wonder if you, a female knight, can conquer my fierce horse?"
The shy Hongxia Mantian bit her lip and moved it slowly. After a while, a sound like a cat meowing came from her mouth, and the man slapped her a few times from time to time to shame her into closing her eyes and not daring to raise her head. The delicate breasts
Shuangwan was gently held by the man, and he was heard saying in wonder: "Speaking of it, little Ahu's breasts are quite impressive. They seem to be bigger than Sandalwood's. I wonder if they will be even bigger after massage in the future."
"Your Highness... 嘘嘘!" Zhihu's moaning mode was too much for him. Until the end of the battle and the intermission, he lay softly in his arms and whispered coquettishly. The battle lasted for more than an hour.
, after washing up and walking out of the room, the sun was already setting, and I was stunned looking at the brilliant and beautiful sunset.
Suddenly I heard a voice coming from behind: "Your Highness!"
"Who is it? Why is it you!" Kira Yoshishi turned around and looked at the short loli with twin ponytails standing behind him, looking at him with her big watery eyes, and asked confusedly: "Why did your highness use that thing?"
Deal with Sister Zhihu! Why is Sister Zhihu’s face red as if she is having a fever? Doesn’t Sister Zhihu feel pain? And why are His Highness and Sister Zhihu hugging each other naked? It’s so strange!”
"... Nani! What did you see?" Kira Yoshi panicked and threatened: "This is a secret between me and your sister Naoto. You are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone, you know? Gods and Buddhas have said that chaos
Do you know if the little girl you are talking to is tall?"
"Hmm! Then Chiyo-onna didn't tell anyone, not even Sister Torahime, Sister Tanxiang, Sister Aju, Sister Aya, and Sister A-Wan, A-Zhu... But, Chiyo-onna also saw His Highness using that thing.
Do the same thing to Torahime-san and Sandalwood-san! Why isn’t Chiyo-me? Is it because Chiyome is too short? But Chiyome has already worked very hard!” The idiot Loli babbled out a bunch of answers.
No, Kira Yoshitoki was stunned.
"When did you start peeking?"
"From the very beginning! It was during the first month that you were acting strangely. Chiyome went to peek at you, and then she saw His Highness repeatedly making strange movements. Sister Torahime's screams were so strange that they were different from usual.
, but it’s light and crunchy and sounds good. Sister Tanxiang’s cry makes me feel shy, and Sister Naoto’s cry is so gentle and soft! And why do the three sisters lick that one with their mouths..."
At this point, Chiyoda's face turned red and she didn't dare to talk anymore. Although she still looked curious and confused, she subconsciously felt that this was very strange, but she couldn't explain why it was strange. When she raised her head and looked at Kiragi,
She noticed that his eyes had become brighter, and he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Chiyoda must be fourteen years old this year..."
Chiyome Mochizuki blushed and whispered, "It's fifteen! Chiyome will be fifteen after the new year!"
"Hmm! Xun is indeed fifteen at the age of one. She looks like a big girl now. Your sister Hu Ji followed Yu at the age of thirteen. A fifteen-year-old girl should be accepted as a concubine...
..." A strange smile appeared on Kira Yoshi's face: "Didn't you just ask Yu why he wanted that? Follow Yu and teach you slowly, don't worry! Several of your sisters have tried it before."
…
A few days later, a simple wedding ceremony was held in Kasugayama Castle. The bride was the already pre-decided Chiyoko Mochizuki. On that day, Chiyoko Mochizuki officially changed her name to Mochizuki Yoshino, announcing that this silly lolita would take the next step towards becoming a married woman.
first step.
The Koga ninjas represented by the Mochizuki family shouted long live. This was regarded as the first step for the Koga ninjas to surpass the Iga ninjas. Mochizuki Izumo Moriyoshidou, who was the governor of Omi Koka, also expressed himself in a special way.
At the same time, he secretly sold all the information about the inside and outside of Rokkaku's family. Kira Yoshitoki was very satisfied with the knowledge of his cheap father-in-law, and made some promises to let him live happily in the secret room. (

ps: I forgot to mention it in the last chapter. Uesugi Kagenobu’s son, Hoshimaru Zai, actually existed in history. His posthumous name in the original server was Uesugi Keimitsu. Wikijp is unreliable and there is no information about Uesugi Kagenobu’s descendants. As long as
After a little thought, you will come to the conclusion that this family cannot have no heirs. Seeing that their family changed the name to Uesugi, you can see that their status in Echigo is prominent. However, it is true that this person died at the butcher's knife of Uesugi Kagekatsu.
