Chapter five hundred and thirty sixth long tail trouble
Hijikata Toshizo said.
"It's not completely hopeless. It's said that Yukino Takada is an incredible swordsman.
As the head of the Shiba family, the specific affairs are controlled by Munenomi Yagyu. If there is a problem between the two of them one day, she may come to her sister Takada Haruno and ask for help.
Therefore, if we have a good reputation here, we may not be able to stand out in the future.”
Kondo Isamu rolled his eyes.
"You have finished saying both good and bad things, what else can I say?
However, is Takada Battousai really as powerful as the legend says? People say that Yagyu Souen would feel scared when he sees her?"
When they talked about kendo, their eyes lit up, Hijikata Toshizo said.
"That's right? Otherwise, why would he be called Battousai the executioner?
He was indeed a ruthless man. He killed ten swordsmen in front of the general's seat. His courage and swordsmanship were both rare in the world.
All the swordsmen exclaimed in admiration that they were jumping up and down within a square inch, like dragons and tigers leaping, just like holding swords in the sky.
Her swordsmanship style is unknown, so Kyoto swordsmen gave her a name, like, um, Flying Sword Style?"
Kondo Isamu was fascinated by what he heard and sighed.
"There is such a person in the world. I wish I could meet him."
"That's right, I want to see it too.
We agreed that if I don’t fight with her, I’ll just go with you and Souji Ji, and I will definitely be hacked to death.”
"No ambition!"
"Tsk, this is called self-awareness."
Next to him, Souji Okita watched with a smile as the two swordsmen, who were like sisters, chatted and ate their food in silence.
This is her happiness, and she will kill anyone who wants to destroy this warmth.
Anyway, whoever offends her will not be able to see the sunrise tomorrow.

Echigo, Sakado Castle.
This city is an important town in China and Vietnam, and to the south is the Echigo Mountains connecting Nishi Ueno.
Sakado Castle is not lost, and Echigo is safe.
Sakado Castle was lost, and the Echigo Plain in Central Vietnam was a flat river, making it easy to attack and difficult to defend. The long strip of land Echigo was in danger of being cut in two.
Therefore, this place was cared for by the Ueda Nagao family, a relative of the Fuchu Nagao family, and is now owned by the family governor Nagao Masakei.
Today, she invited the governor of the Nagao family, Nagao Kagenobu, to gather at the castle tower.
After the two met, Nagao Masaki said angrily.
"Sir, have you heard about the incident in Shangyue?
Your Highness is so confused that he actually welcomed the Imperial Palace into the Uesugi Hall, changed its name to the Imperial Palace, and forced the Joetsu samurai family to pay homage.
What’s even more despicable is that the government office in the pavilion is not moving. From now on, the government has opened up many doors, leaving the Echigo samurai family at a loss. How can it be unreasonable!”
Nagao Kagenobu sighed, looked at Nagao Masaki who looked filled with indignation, and said.
"Zheng Jingji, when you participated in the rebellion just now, it was because of the mercy of the family governor that he allowed you to shut yourself up and think about your mistakes, and not to argue with you.
You, it is better to meddle less with those nosy matters and cultivate yourself with peace of mind. Too much meddling may not be beneficial to you."
Nagao Masaki frowned and said.
"My lord, that's not right. We are all of Long Tail bloodline, and we are connected by the same spirit.
Your Highness has done something wrong and you should speak out, so how can you just sit back and watch?"
Nagao Kagenobu said calmly.
"Your Highness transformed the Nagao family in the mansion into the Yamauchi Uesugi family, and now it is a famous Uesugi family.
If we hold on to our family status and point fingers, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate."
Nagao Masaki was suffocated and was speechless by her, so he could only curse secretly.
Old fox.
After the war in Echigo subsided, Terutora Uesugi's status as governor of the Yamauchi Uesugi family and his position as head of the Kanto governorate had been recognized by the Echigo samurai family.
Since then, the Nagao family in the mansion has been extinct, and only the Kanto governor is in charge of Uesugi Teruhora. This is a good thing for Uesugi Teruhora personally, but it ends the dream of Nagao's political career.
The daughter of her brother Teru Uesugi lost her right to inherit the Echigo Kingdom.
If Echigo is still in charge of the Fuchu Nagao family, then Uesugi Teruhora will have no heirs.
Their children will be related by kinship and blood, and become the best candidates for the next generation of governor of the Nagao family in the mansion.
But now, the Nagao family in Fuchu has lost its heirs, and the Yamauchi Uesugi family is in charge of Echigo.
On the surface, Terutora Uesugi's rule will be justifiable and more stable. But it will be a huge loss for Nagao Masakai.
In addition to being resentful, she saw that Terutora Uesugi continued to decentralize power to Yoshiba Shiba, leaving Echigo with a strange dual-headed political structure, and she could no longer sit still.
She was grounded because of the rebellion, so she could only find Nagao Kagenobu of the Fushi Nagao family, hoping to persuade her to oppose Uesugi Teruhora's actions and maintain the special status of the Nagao family in China and Vietnam.
Who would have known that Nagao Kagenobu, an old fox, just couldn't catch the trick and her one-man show couldn't continue.
In the government of Echigo, the status of the Nagao family in China and Vietnam was very high.
Although they are subordinates, they are also allies of the Nagao family in the mansion. The three Nagao families are also the backbone of the army and are indispensable.
Terutora Uesugi valued them and was very polite. However, as the integration of Echigo accelerated, the importance of the two Nagao families was declining.
Nagao Masakage believed that Nagao Kagenobu was worried about the future and would be willing to work with her to find ways to reverse the situation.
Who knew that this old fox would instead persuade her to bow her head and admit defeat? Could it be that she was just watching the political status of the two Nagao families become marginalized?
Seeing the rapid deterioration of Nagao's government, Nagao Kagenobu secretly shook his head. Among the three Nagao families, her Fushi Nagao family was the weakest.
When Terutora Uesugi came to power, the first thing she took away semi-forcibly was Tochio Castle, the Sino-Vietnamese portal belonging to the Furushi Nagao family. She had no objection.
The woman is not guilty, but she is guilty of carrying the jade.
The Fushi Nagao family is not very strong, and it only has the special status it has today because it closely follows the Fuchu Nagao family.
People need to understand their own situation.
Nagao Masaki can cause trouble. Her husband is Uesugi Teruhora's brother. He is still alive and has a good relationship. Of course, she can act riot and fight for something for her daughter.
But Terutora Uesugi's father, the man married to the Furushi Nagao family, has passed away.
The love between the two parties is worth a little, she must be careful in her words and deeds, and be careful in her conduct and actions for the sake of the continuation of the family business.
Nagao Kagenobu could not let Nagao Masakei mess up. Without the Ueda Nagao family by his side, the Fushi Nagao family would be even less powerful.
This is the reason why she has been actively bridging the relationship between Uesugi Teruhu and Nagao Masaki. The foundation of the three alliances must be maintained. This is her interest.
Nagao Masakai got into trouble just now, and Uesugi Teruhora didn't want to increase the anxiety of the Nagao clan, so he was dealt with lightly.
Nagao Masakage didn't suffer the pain, he didn't feel any pain, but he had to cause trouble again, giving Nagao Kagenobu a headache.
She could only speak slowly.
"I heard that a cargo ship has arrived from Naoetsu, and the first batch of goods sent by the Shiba family from Sakai Port has arrived, worth about 50,000 guan.
Mr. Daxiong Chaoxiu did not distribute the money, but opened accounts with various Shangyue families and divided the shares.
All the things were sold to merchants from the ten Kanto countries in Naojiangjin, and they made double the profit.
The merchants took the goods and happily shipped them back, leaving deposits and messages.
He said that he wanted all the next batch of goods, how much he wanted, and the price was easy to tell.
One hundred thousand gu, each family in Shangyue divided the business tax by 11% without doing anything. Ten thousand gu was thrown on their foreheads, and they were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.
This is just the first benefit, and goods will come in an endless stream from now on. The port town of Naoejin is expanding every day.
Do you want to make a suggestion at this time? Do you want His Highness to clarify the relationship of interest with the Si Bo family? What do you want to do?
Believe it or not, if you say something rude in front of you, someone will come to Sakado Castle to do justice to you and kill you."
Nagao Kagenobu spoke so earnestly that the corners of Nagao Masaki's eyes twitched.
