Afterwards, the group of people came to Tofuku Temple, where the rescued Samurai Hime also lived.
"I'm lucky to be on my way down the mountain, and I'm grateful to Sibo for his kindness."
"My dear, Katsuhisa, I have met Shiba Gozen."
Instructing Otani Yoshitsugi and Toudo Torakaka to follow Kinoshita Hideyoshi to discuss matters at his residence, Yoshigami, Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Yoshihiro came to Nizi Katsuhisa's side to sit down for a while.
"No need to be polite, it's just a little effort. Who knew there were such bad martial arts in Kyoto."
Yamanaka Yukimori was still frightened after hearing this and couldn't help but nodded, and Nizi Katsuhisa also said.
"There have long been rumors that this generation of family governor of the Hatakeyama family behaved wildly and was addicted to the public. This time Yukimori was able to escape from her clutches, thanks to the help of the emperor."
In the borders of Kyoto, Hatakeyama Takamasa is used to doing whatever he wants. If it were Yoshigan Shiba six months ago, he might not have dared to take action to intimidate him.
He took advantage of the cheat to go into battle and kill people, and his psychological advantage was gradually established after two battles.
Now he has a much stronger mentality than when the Shiba family was first wiped out. He has actually beheaded dozens of people, and he no longer needs to be timid when facing other martial arts families.
After all, he was a well-known figure, and he couldn't help but feel proud. He felt happy in his heart, and he didn't forget to look at Nizi Katsuhisa opposite him.
This woman has beautiful features, dignified manners, and grand conversation. It seems that she comes from a high-ranking noble family. Yamazaka Yukimori sat under her with the courtesy of a courtier. Could it be that she was a member of Nizi's family in the Western Kingdom?
"This kind of thing will look good to anyone who encounters it. I just happened to meet it at the right time."
Yiyin said he was modest, but he didn't think so in his heart. Just to maintain his character, he had to act as he should.
Akechi Mitsuhide was watching from the side. This girl was mentally ill. If her character was inconsistent, she might really stab Yoshigami in the back one day.
Sure enough, as soon as he said his words, not only Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Yoshi felt comfortable, but the eyes of Nizi Katsuhisa opposite him also lit up. The unusually beautiful Yamanaka Yukimori even had a cautious look in his eyes, and could not see anyone else for a while.
Already.
"People outside say that Imperial Shiba is benevolent and righteous. When I saw him today, he turned out to be an extraordinary man from the martial arts family. I admire him for a long time."
"You're welcome, you two don't look ordinary, but are you from Nizi's family in the West?"
Shengjiu smiled bitterly.
"To be honest, Ozen, I am the direct descendant of the Nizi family. But there is no such thing as the Nizi family anymore. Tsukiyama Tomita Castle was attacked by the Mouri family, and the Nizi family was destroyed."
The three of them, Yiyin, were all surprised.
The Western Kingdom was originally the sphere of influence of one of the four shogunate masters. At its peak, it had eleven kingdoms, accounting for one-sixth of the sixty-six kingdoms in the world, so it was called the Sixth Palace.
After the decline of the Yamano family, the Sanyo Ouchi family and the Sanin Nishi family attacked each other and competed for the hegemony of the Western Kingdom. When the Nishi family was at its strongest, it was also a daimyo who owned the territory of eleven countries.
Although Mourimoto later took advantage of both sides, taking advantage of the war between the Ouchi family and the Nizi family, and finally dominated the Western Kingdom. However, the Nizi family had a profound foundation after all, and it was really disappointing that they were actually attacked and destroyed by the Maori family.
"The Nizi family will surely thrive again! I, Xing Sheng in the mountains, am willing to endure seven hardships and eight hardships to revive the Nizi family!"
On the side, Yamanaka Yukimori interrupted angrily, Nizi Katsuhisa looked embarrassed. Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the beautiful samurai Ji with a strange look, and Maeda Yoshihiro suppressed a smile and looked at Yoshigan.
"I wish you success."
Yoshihiro replied seriously to Yamanaka Yukimori. It turned out to be this legendary incident. He couldn't bear to watch the system update. Now is not the time.
Yamanaka Yukimori was used to saying that, but this time he said it reflexively because of Nizi Katsuhisa's words. In front of him was the original protagonist, with a red face, biting his lower lip and bowing his head in silence.
This girl is so beautiful, her expression shocked Yiyin.
Nizi Katsuhisa also felt embarrassed. She didn't hate Yamanaka Yukimori, in fact she liked her very much. Seeing her indomitable momentum and determined attitude, she was very envious.
Only you know in your heart whether you are tired, annoyed, or afraid of family matters.
Although she doesn't say it with her mouth, she regards this little sister as her caring person in her heart. Now that she has been favored by Sibo Yiyin, she speaks arrogantly, making her sister feel helpless and proud.
Thinking that she had nothing to repay Shiba Yiyin, she decided to say something as she was always calm and sincere.
"Shiba Imperial Majesty made great contributions to the shogunate through the battle of Noragada, but when he returns to the capital, he has to stay at Tofukuji Temple. It seems to be a bit troublesome."
"indeed."
Yiyin didn't expect that this nun, Shengjiu, who lived in the temple, could see the situation outside at a glance, which was not easy.
"Your Majesty Siba looks calm. There must be wise and resourceful people in the family to help you. I shouldn't talk too much, but fortunately I have received the kindness of the Imperial Majesty, and I have no way to repay it. I can only say a few words shamelessly, and please express my gratitude to the Imperial Majesty."
"It's nothing. I'm worried about it too. I'll listen to what you say."
As he said this, he turned back and glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi. Hearing this made it clear that he was fooled by this girl every day and fell into a trap. It was better to listen to other people's opinions.
"On Oizen's trip to Omi, the shogunate did not send a single soldier, but he gained great benefits. The imperial family is also a system recognized by the shogunate, and what Gozen did is understandable.
If others want to cause harm, they can only do it secretly, which is disgusting and disgusting to you. On the surface, you are right."
Yiyin nodded repeatedly as he listened. Wu family society has always judged heroes based on victory or defeat. Don't say that he is justified, as long as he wins the fight, it is right to be unreasonable. On the surface, no one can touch him, and there is no reason to even blame him.
"So this time when reporting to the shogunate, the emperor must adhere to two points.
The first is to be tough to the end. There are many scum in the Wu family who tend to follow the crowd and are greedy for quick benefits. The more you try to soften, the more people feel weak and bullyable. Therefore, you cannot give in before the emperor.
Secondly, if the shogunate wants the emperor and the queen to contribute in the battle against the Miyoshi family, the emperor must recommend himself to lead an army alone, and must not join others. People's hearts are sinister, so be careful when doing so."
Yoshigan felt it made sense after hearing this. Although Nizi Katsuhisa's analysis was good, he didn't know that Yoshigan was actually Oda Nobunaga's direct minister.
Leader? Hehe, even if I die, I will never work for the shogunate again!
I'm fighting these bastards in the front, and they are dragging their feet behind and looking for trouble. Now they want to kill me. I will serve whoever wants to be served, and I won't do it anymore.
"Nizi Ji Jinyu's kind words, Yiyin is deeply grateful."
Yi Gin gave a half-bow to express his gratitude, and Nizi Shenghisa also bowed in return.
This Shiba Gozen is indeed a person, and he can listen to unpleasant words better than many samurai who insist on force and tyranny, and he has more favorable impressions.
Afterwards, Kinoshita Hideyoshi took care of the accommodation. Everyone had a meal and went back to their houses to rest after being tired from the journey. Yoshigan left Akechi Mitsuhide to his room and asked her with a cold expression and dissatisfaction.
"It's just you and me now. Tell me, did you know that things would turn out like this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide leaned forward and bowed, but he had other words.
"My lord, the samurai family will be rewarded for their service to the public. Maeda's interests and Owari's shares are worth 1,500 koku, so let's leave it aside for now. How can I be rewarded for Yoshitsugi Otani's bravery in fighting?"
"this.."
Yiyin was upset in his heart. What the Wu family asked for was a reward. He had been so complacent these days that he had forgotten Otani Yoshitsugi, who was working hard. This was indeed wrong.
"The ancestral village of the Otani family is still under the prying eyes of the Rokkaku family. I will see the general tomorrow and ask the Lord to ask for a peace certificate for Otani Yoshitsugi to reassure her."
"I will seek the good."
The security warrants are also divided into grades. The security warrants issued by the general are naturally the most valuable. Unless the Rokkaku family wants to rebel, no one can touch the ancestral land of the Otani family.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, whether I, Akechi Mitsuhide, have fulfilled my duty in this battle?"
"Do your best."
Mitsuhide Akechi changed the topic and blocked Yoshiyin in a corner. He didn't care about it and gave the scheming woman an excuse.
"I don't ask for anything else, I just ask the Lord to grant me a night of love."
Ah? Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide in astonishment, seeing her eyes filled with overflowing possessiveness and desire, and was speechless for a moment.
