Yoshigan suddenly discovered that he had very few means to check and balance Ashikaga Yoshiaki.
It was he who handed over the Ashikaga Huizhong himself, and it was he who supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki as a shogun.
In order to maintain his character of keeping his promise, Yoshigan could not go back on his word. Moreover, he also had to prevent Oda Nobunaga from infiltrating the shogunate, and he needed the cooperation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki who had become a shogun.
I chose to win over Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the first place just to be wary of Oda Nobunaga. If I regret it, I will be pushing Ashikaga Yoshiaki towards Oda Nobunaga.
Yiyin thought about it and found out in frustration that he seemed to have lost a lot of chips in his hand, all because he had given too quickly.
At this time, Yoshigami had a blind spot in his thinking. That was that he believed that Oda Nobunaga was a strong enemy of the shogunate. As Ashikaga Yoshiaki became a general, he would definitely join forces with him to fight against foreign enemies.
His assumption stemmed from his extreme vigilance against Oda Nobunaga. Even Akechi Mitsuhide found it strange why Yoshigan valued Oda Nobunaga so much and thought she could overthrow the shogunate.
Before Yoshigan could react, the samurai in this world didn't know the game Nobunaga's Ambition, and they didn't know how terrifying Oda Nobunaga was.
He imposed his own ideas on the shogunate, thinking that everyone agreed with his ideas and would be wary of Oda Nobunaga, the future man of the world.
This blind spot in thinking will cause him to fall hard.
In fact, in the minds of many people, Yoshigan Shiba is far more threatening than the country bumpkin Owari from Owari, Oda Nobunaga.
But now Yoshigan has not noticed this, and Akechi Mitsuhide, who saw the signs, has been abandoned by him again. He is foolishly walking on the wrong path of wishful thinking.
Once he helped Ashikaga Yoshiaki, a former nun who seemed kind and kind, to the position of Ashikaga General, he would have to pay a heavy price for his wrong judgment.
Yiyin already felt that the situation was getting out of control, but he still managed to suppress his uneasiness and persisted in his approach.
Because of his stubbornness, Yukino Takada, who wants to protect him, has an unclear future.
———
Naomasa Ii came in with a bowl of nourishing soup, and when he saw Yukino Takada massaging his master's knees with his pillow, he felt a twist in his heart.
She was born in Yiyin's family name, and Yiyin didn't like to use maids. In the past two years in Kanto, she had always been her personal attendant.
But after Takada Yukino came, she took away many of the serving tasks, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if something important had been taken away.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Naomasa Ii stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Otaisuo, would you like to take a sip of the nourishing soup?"
Yiyin was being pressed comfortably by Yukino and snorted.
Xiao Nizi has learned the technique from who knows where in the past two years. It is indeed good. The sword room at the Imperial Palace also teaches rehabilitation? Being a swordsman is quite hard.
Seeing that Yi Gin didn't want to move, Yukino stretched out her hand rudely and looked at Ii Naomasa.
Naomasa Ii gritted his teeth, as if something precious had been taken away from him, so he handed over the nourishing soup unwillingly.
Yukino took the soup bowl, scooped up the soup with a spoon, put it under her lips and blew on it. She took a sip before putting it into Yiyin's mouth.
Naomasa Ii was stunned and shouted.
"What are you doing!"
Yiyin was startled by her suddenly raised voice. He opened his eyes and looked at Yukino. Yukino said with an innocent face.
"Feed soup to the master."
Naomasa Ii pointed at Yukino and scolded sternly.
"How dare you! How can you take a sip first and then put the spoon into the master's mouth? This is not... this is..."
Naomasa Ii blushed with embarrassment and could not speak.
Yiyin glanced at the spoon, then at Yukino, who had a confused look on his face, and added in his mind, isn't this just an indirect kiss?
Back in Owari, this was how Yukino served him.
At that time, Yoshigami was an insignificant, poor nobleman, and his reputation for chastity was ruined by accompanying Oda Nobunaga to his affair.
He was happy and didn't care about other people's opinions, so Yukino always served him like this. But in less than three years, everything changed.
Yoshigan Shiba is no longer a low-income person who worked as an entertainer and prostituted himself in Owari. He is now a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi, the imperial palace of the shogun, and the embodiment of justice in the world.
Therefore, he can no longer be as promiscuous as before.
Seeing Ii Naomasa's face collapse, he was shocked like the earth was falling apart. Yoshigami couldn't help but feel sad, it was becoming more and more boring as time went by.
I thought that the higher the status, the more comfortable it would be, but who would have thought that hiding in the room and showing off would not work. Living in such a high and powerful position, even with countless pairs of eyes staring at me, is too boring.
Compared to Yi Gin's reaction, Yukino didn't realize it yet, she tilted her head and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Naomasa Ii jumps into the path.
"What's wrong! How could you put the spoon you've eaten into the Lord's mouth!
Don’t you understand the principle of men and women not being intimate? You are committing the greatest sin of arrogance!”
Yukino looked confused and said.
"Isn't this to prevent outsiders from poisoning and test the poison for the master? Moreover, what if the soup is too hot and burns the master?"
Ii Naomasa said angrily.
"How could the soup I gave to the Lord be poisoned? Of course there was a poison tester who drank it first!
Of course I will control the temperature before serving it! Do you think I don’t understand how to serve?
Where did your inexplicable ideas come from?"
Seeing Yukino surrounding his master these days, Ii Naomasa had been holding back his anger for a long time, feeling that his cabbage patch had been invaded by foreign wild boars.
At this time, old and new hatreds welled up in my heart, and I took the opportunity to vent them all out.
She was still young and did not understand the principles of love and love. However, a child had a strong possessive desire and always felt that her master had been snatched away by this strange woman who knew how to practice swordsmanship.
She has been unhappy for a long time!
Yukino looked at Yoshiyin with an innocent face and said.
"This is what the master told me."
Ii Naomasa's momentum instantly froze. She uh-huh-uh-huh three times and was stunned. Then she slowly turned her head and looked at the master carefully, thinking that she had said the wrong thing and bumped into the master.
Yiyin couldn't laugh or cry.
This was all what he said to deceive Yukino in Owari. If outsiders want to harm me, it would be safer for Yukino to take a bite first and then eat it.
The method of teasing a little girl is not on the table. Who knows that Yukino, who has always been silly, remembers this kind of thing very clearly!
Yiyin smiled awkwardly, coughed, and explained.
"At the time of Owari, there were indeed dangers everywhere, and we had to be careful at every turn."
He just said something perfunctory, but unexpectedly Naomasa Ii's eyes turned red and he knelt down on the ground.
"I'm so sorry! I made it difficult for you!"
The Shiba clan was exterminated in Owari, and the story of Shiba Yoshiyoshi going to Rakukan to revive the family business has been circulated among the samurai family for a long time.
His achievements in reviving the legend of the Spall family and rebuilding the family business are truly worthy of special mention.
The version that Ii Naomasa had heard was certainly the most upright type. No one dared to talk about those erotic jokes in front of this serious child.
Therefore, as soon as Yoshigan explained, Ii Naomasa immediately imagined a scene of ambush from all sides, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Yiyin was helpless towards this serious little girl, he rubbed his forehead and said.
"Those who don't know are not guilty. I don't blame you. Just get up."
However, Naomasa Ii looked serious and raised his head and said.
"Otaisuo, please rest assured.
This is not Owari, there are people of the same mind here, and I am here, I will never let anyone hurt you!
Therefore, Takada Yukino-sama, can you restrain yourself from these arrogant behaviors in the future?"
Seeing that the half-grown child began to speak frankly and honestly, Yiyin smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Indeed, these old methods from the past should really be put aside."
On the side, Yukino's face was full of grievances. She didn't know what she had done wrong, she pouted and said.
"I have always served the Lord like this, how could it be wrong?"
