Most people only focus on the present. If they can plan for two years later, they are already elites.
Being able to effectively plan for five years, the second five years, the third five years... If things go on like this, it can be said to be an invincible existence.
Only a few people secretly planned the troubles two years later, and most people were not aware of the undercurrent surging beneath the blooming flowers.
Even Yiyin himself was dazzled by the countless compliments and lickings in front of him, immersed in the gentle land and unable to extricate himself.
There are many people who can move forward in adversity, but many people capsize in good times. This may be the weakness of human nature.
After Kanayama Castle agreed to mediate the relationship between Uesugi Kagetora and Kai-kun, Yoshigami embarked on the journey again and continued northward.
Dao Shengmeng had been waiting at the border for several days. As soon as Yiyin entered Dahu Territory, he was welcomed back to Dahu City by this trusted general.
Dahu Castle is located in the middle of Ueno Kingdom, backed by the Akaishi Mountains, with Amabashi Castle to the west and Kanayama Castle to the south. By sending troops, it can threaten the two most important pass towns of the Tone River in Ueno Country.
Dahu City has been controlled by the Dahu family for generations. The deceased Shangquan Xingang was originally from the Dahu family, and later changed his Miao name to Shangquan.
The Dahu family has a close relationship with the Nagano family of Minawa Castle and the Nagano family of Umbashi Castle. It can be said that the three families are close together in the central part of Ueno Province.
It's a pity that first the Nagano family turned against each other, and then the Echigo Kingdom launched the Kanto Strategy. In the face of this century-old change, none of the three families survived.
The Nagano family of Umebashi Castle resisted stubbornly, but was abandoned by the retainers, and dedicated the city to Uesugi Kenshin.
Minawa Castle Nagano Yamasa died of old age, and his family business was destroyed by Sanada Nobushige and Obata Nobusada. Thanks to the favor of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, his daughter Nagano Yasmori managed to escape to the Doshinzu and was protected by Yoshigan.
As for Dahu City, the Dahu family was first defeated by the ambitious Yoshinoge Shige of Kanayama Castle, and Yuryoshige was frightened by the powerful Echigo army moving south, and finally chose to surrender.
As a result, Da Hu Ling was finally captured in the Guandong Strategy and became the Sibo family's foothold in Guan Bazhou.
Shima Katsuo was also entrusted with an important task by Yoshigan, taking the old Iga clan and the old Hokuda Kazu clan, the samurai immigrated from Kinki, to guard the Kanto Spo territory.
In the past five years, Shima Katsuki, the leader of the united front and the Kanto Shiba Commander-in-Chief, has shown both wisdom and bravery in various incidents. He is respected by the Kanto samurai and has gained a firm foothold.
During the great economic development of the Siba family, Dahu Ling became the most prosperous place in the eight states of Guanzhou and the beacon of Sibo that the Kanto warriors envied.
When Yiyin arrived at Dahu City, there were already people waiting in the city. They were Yuya Kito and Momo Mikami from the Wu Family Renaissance Society.
The two of them were the first batch of international students sponsored by the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to study in Sable Territory in Kinki. They became the leaders of international students in Kinki Sonia Territory and formed a student army to participate in the war against the Miyoshi family.
Because of the outstanding performance of the foreign students in the war against Sanhao, Yiyin was very fond of the Wujia Fuxing Society organized by these little girls.
Yiyin not only promoted the Wujia Fuxing Society to a subordinate organization of the Wujia Yili Promotion Association, but also allowed it to participate in the coordination and supervision of the Wushu Association.
Because of this, the status of the two leaders of the Samurai Renaissance Society, Yuya Kito and Momo Mikami, who returned to their hometown downstream of the Tone River after completing their studies, also increased, and they actually became feudal lords.
Because the Yiyin Charity international students are living in poverty, they requested the Samurai Giri Promotion Association to give each international student a blue kimono as a formal attire for attending events.
Therefore, the foreign students in the Wujia Fuxing Society call themselves Blue Clothes People and the students of Yiyin.
This time, when Yoshihiro returned to Kanto, the blue-clad people naturally wanted to meet their teacher. Yuya Kito and Mikami Momona brought more than a dozen blue-shirted people with excellent academic performance and outstanding appearance to pay homage to him.
They didn't know Yiyin's marching route, but no matter how Yiyin went, he would eventually come to Kanto Spur Territory, so they simply waited in Dahu City.
Inside the hotel, Yoshigami smiled happily as he looked at the group of girls wearing blue kimonos and beautiful makeup.
Yua Kito and Momo Mikami, who were originally skinny and skinny, gradually began to look like women.
After all, it was Shiba who provided food for the people and suddenly made these shriveled green beans in the poor countryside of Tonegawa rich. It can be said that a woman has changed a lot.
Who doesn't like beautiful girls, especially the warrior Hime who has pure admiration in her eyes and bows to her and calls her teacher.
They practice martial arts all year round, have outstanding figures, and are beauties carefully selected, making Yiyin a pleasure to look at.
After being yelled at by the teacher a few times, Yiyin was so happy that he even held a banquet in the residence hall to entertain his female students.
Yi Gin was at the table, and Shima Shengmu was at the table. Although there were only four dishes, they were delicious white rice, white tofu, dried radish, and small salted fish. Everyone was also given a small pot of sake, which was extremely rich.
The female students had never seen such hospitality before, and they were all overjoyed. The host and guest enjoyed the meal and dispersed in the dead of night.
After these female students respectfully left the table, Yiyin looked at Dao Shengmeng with a smile, but saw a bit of resentment in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong?"
Shima Katsuo is 170 centimeters tall. Although he looks average compared to Yoshiun's 183 centimeters, he looks mighty and majestic compared to Hime Samurai's average height of 160 centimeters.
She has always presented herself as a loyal and courageous general to the outside world, but now she behaves like a little girl in front of Yiyin, and the contrast is particularly strong.
Daosheng swallowed the wine in his glass and sighed.
"Time flies and never comes back. When I see these young and beautiful Ji warriors, I can't help but feel a little sad when I think of myself as an old man."
Yiyin couldn't help but laugh out loud, and took the initiative to walk up to Dao Shengmeng, fill her empty glass, and drink it slowly while looking at Dao Shengmeng's lips where she had just drank.
Seeing Yi Yin looking at him with charming eyes, slowly drinking all the liquid in his wine glass, and playfully licking the edge of the wine glass with the tip of his tongue, the fire in Dao Sheng's heart was ignited with just a lick.
She was about to knock Yi Yin down, but Yi Yin stopped her arm and said with a smile.
"What? Don't you feel that you are getting older now?"
Dao Sheng's face turned red and he was speechless.
Yiyin took the initiative to hug her, kissed her, and whispered in her ear.
"You're not old at all, you're just getting more mature and delicious. I asked you why you didn't talk much just now. It turns out you were jealous of these children.
Hahaha, it made me laugh so hard."
Yiyin hugged Dao Shengmeng and laughed so hard that the two of them rubbed their ears and temples together and their bodies came into contact, which made Dao Shengmeng even more angry and directly pushed Yiyin onto the tatami.
Although this loyal general looks majestic on the outside and strictly abides by her duties, on certain occasions, she is the most excessive of the Hime Samurai Yoshigan has ever encountered, even more aggressive than Oda Nobunaga.
Yiyin knew what Dao Shengmeng was worried about.
Seven years ago, Yoshigan persuaded the old Iga people to send troops, and fought a big battle with the Miyoshi general Shiga Icun in Beidahe, and saved Shima Shengmu, whose family was almost destroyed.
Since then, Dao Shengmeng has been loyal to Yiyin and has a deep love for him.
Shima Shengmeng was already over 20 years old at that time, and now she is over 27. In this ancient world where you can call yourself an old woman at the age of 30, she is of course afraid that she will lose her beauty in old age and will no longer be able to attract Yiyin.
Yoshigan had given her many opportunities, but her stomach just didn't live up to expectations. She watched Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin give birth to babies, but she didn't make any move.
Fortunately, she didn't know about Yuigahama Yui, otherwise she would have been jealous to death.
Now that he sees a group of girls in blue clothes, all dressed up and showing off to Yiyin, how can Dao Shengmeng not feel resentful?
Today is different from the past. Yi Yin is no longer a human being, he is a god. God cannot be restrained by human moral requirements.
Yoshino, who has embarked on the Shinto path, must leave behind enough divine descendants to support Shiba's divine authority. Otherwise, the Shiba family will fall into the dilemma of having no successors, jeopardizing the inheritance of the family business.
Why was the throne of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty lost and recovered? The biggest reason is that she was able to give birth to many children, while Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty had no adult heirs.
In a feudal society, the emperor's power is unstable if he has few heirs, regardless of his ability.
Yiyin achieved the divine way as a man, so to talk about women being superior to men and the husband's virtue from beginning to end would be a crime against the Shiba family's great cause.
Without enough descendants of the gods, there would be no solid foundation for rule.
Regardless of whether they were foreign vassals or retainers, they all expressed their understanding and sympathy for Yiyin's increasingly indulgent relationship between men and women.
Because Yiyin has the aura of holiness that he will never make mistakes in his career, no one will consider the possibility that he likes to be a prostitute. They just think that he endures the humiliation and bear the burden for the sake of inheriting the family business.
Since Sibo's great cause is higher than traditional morality, as the righteous silver of the gods, no one dares to restrict his private life.
Dao Shengmeng is getting older and has been unable to conceive for a long time. It is not because he is depressed that he shows such a look of resentment.
As the ruler of Yoshigan, of course he wanted to win over the most important General Shiba in Kanto.
What's more, he had just decided to hand over the Higashi Musashi land he obtained from the Hojo family to Shima Katsuki, so he naturally wanted to give her political status, emotional value, and the seed of a divine descendant.
———
There was a fire going on at Yiyin, and the people in blue who had just left were also in high spirits.
They didn't care about the delicious meal, but they felt that they were valued by the saint and were very excited.
A group of young girls were full of energy and were very excited at the moment. Who wanted to go back to sleep, so they dragged me to the castle town wine shop to continue the next scene.
Seeing the jubilant Ji Samurai in the bar, Mikami Momo felt a little bored, so she simply walked out of the room and went to the backyard to get some fresh air.
As soon as she walked away with her front legs, Ghost Head Yuya followed her and asked with a smile.
"What's going on with you today? Are you trying to escape from drinking? That's not possible. Taogu, Tianhai and the others are clamoring for you. Everyone is happy today. We won't come back until we get drunk."
Mikami Momo turned back to look at Yuya Kito, with a cold face and said nothing.
Yuya Kito seemed to sense something was wrong and asked.
"Why do you look at me like that?"
Mikami Momo sighed.
"You...have less contact with those people from the Wu Family Principle Promotion Association from now on."
Ghost Head Yuya's face darkened, and he looked around to talk to him.
"The Wu Family Revival Association is a subordinate organization of the Wu Family Principles Promotion Association. How can I not communicate with the higher-level departments..."
Mikami Momo interrupted rudely.
"You know which people I'm talking about! That's not serious business!"
Ghost head Yuya was silent for a moment.
"Mikami... listen to my explanation..."
"Don't explain to me, I don't want to hear it! I didn't say anything in front of the saint because I was worried about the friendship between you and me!
But I feel ashamed in my heart. We swore together, one leader and one voice, that we will always follow him and never deceive him!
Today, I broke my promise.
Those people from the Wu Family Ethics Promotion Association...their money and food are hot to the touch! How dare you...how dare you accept it!"
Yuya Kito retorted angrily.
"You are the only one who is noble! You are the only one who is loyal! Is this what I want?"
Please understand, we are just a group of international students, our parents are just poor people in the village, we have no background!
Our status was given by the saints, and was obtained with the lives of our companions who died in the Battle of Sanhao. How could we give up so easily and let them down?
You can be arrogant and cold-hearted towards those people, but the people in blue cannot be excluded from the power circle of Kanto!
If we don’t join in with them, if we don’t become a part of them, we will be unable to move forward, and we won’t be able to accomplish anything!
Do you understand or not that this is reality?"
Mikami Momo looked at the angry Kito Yua with a sad face and said.
"Do you still remember how we spontaneously organized the Wu Family Renaissance Society?
A group of foreign students denounced today's troubled times together, eager to revive the samurai family's principles and become a samurai family different from the adult warriors outside!
But today, you told me that collaborating with others is a matter of course. You let me down so much, Guitou."
Ghost head Yuya shook his head and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, I said it in a hurry, I didn't mean it."
Mikami Momo also shook her head and walked past her, showing no interest in continuing.
"Don't say sorry to me, go and say it to those comrades who sacrificed their lives, and think about the oath you made in front of their graves. Maybe you have forgotten it, but I will never forget it.
This time, I didn't say anything in front of the saint, hoping that you would find your way back.
If you continue to go further and further down the wrong path and make mistakes again and again, I will fulfill my promise, I will kill you with my own hands, and then go to the throne of the saint to commit seppuku.
Guitou, don’t let me down again, please, my partner, wake up.”
Kito Yua looked back at Mikami Momo who had walked away and shouted.
"I'm sorry! I promise there won't be a next time!"
Mikami Momo's steps slowed down a beat, nodded slightly, and then continued to move forward into the house. However, she did not notice that a trace of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Yuya, the ghost behind her.
In just one or two years, status, power, and wealth were all crammed into the arms of Yuya Kito, a humble warrior Ji.
She couldn't be as indifferent as Mikami Momo and never forget her original intention, so in order to keep everything she had obtained, she could only treat her former like-minded partners...
