The Takada sisters are struggling in Sakai Port, and the situation at Yiyin is not much better.
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?
If Iga country is still divided into three parts of the world, then Yoshigan's position as guardian of Iga is indeed a good thing.
But now that Iga has been essentially unified by Momochi Santao, his guardianship has become a fatal thing.
He still couldn't retreat.
After all, Iga is a territory of 100,000 koku. No matter how poor it is, it can still produce 1,000 wild samurai, right?
Regardless of going down, he teamed up with Shiga Icun to attack Yamato's Junkei Tsutsui.
Or go up and attack Kyoto, cutting off the retreat route of the Kawachi shogunate army.
Even the shogunate was unable to fight this battle.
Therefore, if Yoshigan still wants to fight this battle, he must obtain the support of the Fujibayashi family. Iga cannot let Momochi Santao alone have the final say.
It took him a whole night, pain in his back, legs, and kidneys to finally convince Guo Xin, who was pretending to be Fujibayashi Masabao, to stand by him.
In order to please this hermit with a perverted hobby, he also arranged the concubines and himself in the same room on the grounds that the attitude of the Fujibayashi family was unclear and everyone should not be separated, and everyone shared their clothes and rested for the night.
This really made Guo Xin very satisfied. For the time being, she didn't have to worry about her repeatedly jumping around and betraying her, causing serious problems.
In the early morning, Yiyin woke up feeling sore and weak, and his body no longer had the strange smell of that incident.
Sometimes I lament that the fruit heart is so powerful that Ji Ji, who is stunned in the whole room, can still explain how to remove the odor? It is unscientific.
Zhu Ji got up to wash up, and Nizi Shengjiu looked solemnly and asked about Yiyin.
"Gozen, how was your conversation with Fujibayashi Shoho yesterday?"
Last night, the two of them abandoned everyone and talked alone. Nizi Shengjiu didn't know what they talked about and was still worried.
"Fujibayashi Masahori is determined to help me suppress the Three Taifus of Momochi and lead Iga Minoru."
Yiyin said casually.
What we talked about last night is not the point, it is what happened late at night. However, these charity funds cannot be stated clearly and can only be perfunctory.
Nizi Shengjiu was in disbelief.
"Ozen, I see that Fujibayashi Masabao is secretive, so it's better not to believe him."
"What else can we do but believe her? Do we have any choice now?"
Nizi Shengjiu was speechless for a moment. When she came, she didn't expect that the situation would become so bad, and she also ran out of ideas.
"Momochi Santao's approach is too radical. She insists on doing something that the Hattori family would rather leave home than dare to do.
It’s no wonder Fujibayashi Masabao wants to turn against her, the Fujibayashi family is still trustworthy for the time being.”
Yiyin could only comfort Nizi Shengjiu in this way, but his words were not unreasonable.
If there was a choice, the Hattori family would go far away and abandon even the foundation of Iga.
After all, this world belongs to the samurai family, and the bloodline and family character are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if the third wife of Baiji is a great person, isn't the Hattori family governor who made such a fuss also a great person?
Man cannot fight with the heaven. The tradition of the Wu family is the heaven of this world.
The Hattori family is nothing but a branch of the Hattori family. Even the Hattori family is a traitorous clan that suppresses their superiors, and is not tolerated by the samurai society.
Except for Mikawa who left for the Tokaido, she stayed here to serve as an official. It would have been nice not to chop off her head and ask for credit from the shogunate.
If the Miyoshi family succeeds in going to Luo, will the Momochi family benefit? Will the people of Iga country benefit?
Stop dreaming, even if the general becomes a puppet, he is still a general.
At that time, in order to appease the general's grievance, he might massacre the Iga people to vent her anger.
What Miyoshi Changqing wants is the real power of the shogunate, not to wipe out the shogunate and start from scratch.
The Heaven of the Wu family is still Heaven, and the Iga clan is still the rebel clan, and nothing will change.
The Nizi family also rebelled against the Kyogoku family and became addicted to becoming famous in the eleven countries, but only they know the bitterness after the decline.
The life of a traitor is not as glorious as outsiders think.
The reason why the customary agreement is powerful is not because the Wu family has a strong sense of morality. It is because it effectively protects everyone's interests, so everyone will abide by it from generation to generation.
Although one can be tyrannical by suppressing the superior for a while, in order to achieve long-term peace and stability, one must abide by the rules.
Miyoshi Changqing also understands this truth. She went from the enemy of the Wu family to the companions of the imperial minister, and then from the companions of the imperial minister to the enemy of the Wu family.
If it succeeds this time, it will be the shogunate who is in charge of the affairs. The acting officials in charge are not actual generals.
This is a person who understands the rules and knows how to play. How could Baidi Santaifu be so messy and end up well?
Nizi Shengjiu also understood these principles, thought them through clearly, and felt a little at ease.
I hope Fujibayashi Masayasu is indeed a sensible person, otherwise Iga and his party would really have a narrow escape from death.
"My lord."
Todo Takatora, who had just gone out to wash up, walked in quickly, but the other Hime Samurai who had just gone with him did not come back.
"What's wrong?"
"Come out and take a look."
Hearing her nervous tone, Yiyin also became nervous.
Although Masahori Fujibayashi is pretending to be Guo Xin, who knows if there might be any mistakes.
Looking at each other with Nizi Shengjiu, the three of them left the room.
The atrium in front of them was already crowded with people, and the few Shiba family warriors in front of the door were staring at them warily, not daring to slack off.
When Yi Gin saw that the leader was Fujibayashi Masabao, he felt a little relieved, but he didn't know where Guo Xin was acting.
"Master Fujibayashi, what is this?"
"These are members of my Fujibayashi family here. I asked them to come as witnesses."
Guo Xin once again transformed into the inscrutable Governor of the Fujibayashi family, standing in the atrium with the twin daughters of the Fujibayashi family and many clan members, facing Yoshiyin.
"witness?"
Just as Yoshigan was about to ask, he saw Fujibayashi Masabao kneeling down towards him.
"Ming, Xing, kneel down for me!"
The two girls behind them didn't know what their mother was going to do. Ming was obedient and knelt down. Xing was still hesitant, but her sister pulled her down.
"Swear to me."
Masayasu Fujibayashi looked back at the two women in an unpredictable manner and said:
Yiyin looked at the pain in his kidneys, what on earth did he want to do?
I saw her lying on the ground and bowing to Yiyin, then straightened up and said.
"I am Fujibayashi Shoho."
"I am Fujibayashi."
"I am Fujibayashi An."
"I am willing to serve Sibo Yiyin as my master and swear allegiance to him until death."
The twins didn't understand why their mother had to swear an oath after just one night, but they still followed it.
"If you break your oath, let me, the Fujibayashi family, have a daughter who will be a slave for the rest of the world, and a son who will make the family prosperous for generations to come."
"Mother!"
The two women couldn't help but exclaimed.
This oath is so vicious that it makes people shudder.
Fujibayashi Masabao turned back again with an expressionless expression and a stern expression.
"read!"
The two girls looked at their mother in fear. They had been accustomed to obey since childhood, so they obediently finished reciting this extremely vicious oath in front of many clan members.
Yoshigan watched them finish reading, then glanced at Fujibayashi Masabao, who remained calm, and felt that this scene was too fantastic. His heart twisted several times, and he had to sigh.
