After understanding the report from his retainers, he roughly understood what had happened. The Daimyo Hojo family invited him to go to the Hojo Mansion in the afternoon, which was said to be a reward for killing the executioner.
Li Wei smelled a very unusual smell from it, because he was not the head of the Fujiwara family at this time, but just an adopted son. The head of the Fujiwara family was still alive. According to the normal process, the feudal lord should find the head of the Fujiwara family, and then the head of the Fujiwara family would find him.
On his head.
"Xiaoizumi, does the head of the Fujiwara family know about this?"
"According to the information provided by the former ninja of the Fujiwara family, the master does not know that the daimyo sent the invitation to you directly without going through the master." Koizumi wore an evil ghost mask and bowed slightly.
"This is a bit of a problem." Li Wei looked at the book in his hand. He felt a little headache. Because of the times, he didn't quite understand the twists and turns of political struggles in this world.
The Fujiwara family serves the temple community in Kyoto. In fact, it is essentially equivalent to the retainers of the Hojo family, managing the temple activities in Kyoto for the Hojo family. The Hojo family was originally just a small family that relied on the power of the current shogun Minamoto Yoritomo, because
Only if the son-in-law is the current shogun can he become the daimyo of the Kyoto domain.
But Li Wei didn't know what kind of communication method it was, and what the difference in class was. But it was obvious that there must be something wrong with bypassing the head of the Fujiwara family and going directly to him.
"Xiaoquan, what do you think of this matter? Why did the master directly find my head without going through the master?" Li Wei asked.
"All I can think of is that the Hojo family wants to use this to win over the young master. In this case, they should give some valuable treasures. Or they might use this as a springboard to take back some of their power..."
The more Levi heard, the more confused he became. Normally speaking, the most likely possibility for the Hojo family to find him, Young Master Fujiwara, would be a marriage alliance. That would be easier to deal with. But his identity as Levi is the adopted son of the Fujiwara family, not his biological son.
It is necessary to marry the daughter of the Fujiwara family in order to secure the position of the young master. Therefore, it is definitely not a matter of marriage.
But apart from marriage, other things may be more troublesome.
He was not interested in political struggles, and even more often believed in the power in his own hands. However, he found that he seemed to have to join the overt and covert struggles of the nobles.
"Is there any indication from our master?" Levi said.
"The master said that he believes in the young master's ability. It's up to you to decide everything."
"Is this so..."
Li Wei was a little speechless. He couldn't understand why the head of the Fujiwara family who picked him up trusted him so much. You must know that he traveled through time for only a month, let alone the entire aristocratic structure in Kyoto.
The Fujiwara family doesn't even understand the internal structure of the family, and he himself doesn't believe he has this ability.
After a long time, Levi said again: "Then accept the invitation. I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the Hojo family gourd."
Fanatic Art appeared behind him, and this fiery man gave him enough confidence. The soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. He felt that he was strong enough. Although he was not invincible, the price for keeping him might be to cut off the flesh of the entire Hojo family.
To an extent. He didn't quite believe that the Hojo family, who relied on marrying off their daughters to become the shogunate, had such great courage.
Soon, it was afternoon, and Levi got on the carriage. The only three people traveling with him were the coachman, Koizumi, and Levi. You must not bring too many people with you to Hojo Prefecture, otherwise it will not be a banquet but a rebellion.
On the way, he began to study a skill that he had previously obtained from the Honor Room, Tracking.
Tracking: This ability originates from ancient witchers. It can sense all creatures that are strongly hostile to you within a radius of 30 meters, and can sense non-human creatures whose strength exceeds the average human. Actively turn on to trigger bloodthirsty pursuit.
The hunting effect can mark an enemy wherever you look. No matter where the enemy is hiding, you can sense its approximate range for 24 hours. You can only mark one unit at the same time. (My Witcher
The medal is moving, there must be a sorceress nearby!)
This skill can be regarded as making up for some shortcomings in perception. At least when facing inhuman monsters, it will not cause blindness.
"Sir, Hojo Mansion has arrived."
"I see."
Li Wei took Koizumi out of the car, walked into the Hojo House under the guidance of the waiter, and was taken to the main hall of a very high building.
The main hall is almost made of pure wood and is almost fifty meters high. It is hard to imagine that such a luxurious building could exist in such an ancient alien world with low productivity. Along the way, Li Wei saw a large number of people wearing armor.
There were many warriors standing guard, and these warriors gave Li Wei a sense of oppression. They were all the kind of people who practiced spiritual power.
After all, the Hojo family, in addition to relying on their son-in-law, their own military power is also extremely powerful.
"Fujiwara-sama, Hojo-sama only allows you to enter." The waiter replied.
"Okay, Koizumi, just wait for me outside for a while." After Levi said that, he stepped into the main hall, Frenzy Art appeared behind him, and he was ready to fight.
Moreover, if this pure wooden building really comes to its worst, Fanatic Art can burn the whole place down in a very short period of time, making it very easy to escape or fight back.
When he arrived at the head of the Hojo family, the middle-aged man was kneeling in front of the table. In front of him was a particularly gorgeous sword with a total length of nearly one meter. Two samurai also wore metal hoods and were covered in armor.
Standing nearby, Li Wei felt that the spiritual strength of these two warriors was several times more than his, and they had a strong murderous aura.
No matter how talented Levi is, he has only been in this world for a month. In terms of real combat power, he may be very strong. The strength of a single round of spiritual power is probably far behind that of people in this world who have been honing their spiritual power since childhood.
Besides, this is the Hojo family, the most powerful family in Kyoto.
He took the time to look at the tracking technique. At least the tracking technique didn't light up. There were no monsters or weird things nearby, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fujiwara, I heard that you killed the executioner."
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my duty." Li Wei returned the salute.
"Very good, the Fujiwara family is really lucky." The head of the Hojo family smiled very kindly, as if an elder was encouraging the younger one.
The subtext of the head of the Hojo family is that the Fujiwara family was lucky enough to pick up Li Wei when the Zong family was childless, and it also insinuates that Li Wei is just a adopted son.
Levi heard the man's subtext, but he didn't express anything and still stood there indifferently.
"Have you ever heard of the Ten Fist Sword?" The head of the Hojo family smiled and looked at Levi.
"I'm fortunate to have heard of it." Levi had indeed heard of the Ten Fist Sword, but he only learned about it from a sword fight in a certain ninja village in his previous life.
"I heard that you are missing a famous sword in your hand. Since you succeeded in killing the executioner, and I happen to have the legendary ten-fist sword in my hand, it is said that Suzuo Noo's 'Tenhaha Sword' was used to kill the big snake. Then this
