different warring states of japan

Chapter 71
Yiyin rode on a horse and walked in the front, Yiyi was half a horse behind on the right, and Otani Kichitsugu followed on foot on the left.Akechi Hosokawa followed behind, followed by the loose peasants and soldiers
After walking for a while, he couldn't help getting off his horse, and grabbed Otani Kichitsu's shoulder.Otani Jiji was taken aback. Since she got sick, no one dared to touch her body.

"I'm not feeling well and still holding on so hard, get on the horse and lead the way."

A young girl is coughing sickly by her side, and she still has to walk to guide you.Riding on a horse, Yiyin feels like sitting on pins and needles. He is not the gender view of this world, and a man's self-esteem cannot bear it.

"My lord must not, this is my duty."

Otani Jiji was taken aback, not knowing what this noble man was thinking.Maeda Yoshiki, who was on the side, understood Yoshihiro, jumped off after him, and said while holding the horse.

"My Patriarch sees you as pitiful, so just ride it. You look scary like this, and if you die before you reach the place, it will be troublesome."

The first half of the sentence was well said, but the second half of the sentence made Yiyin couldn't help hitting her on the head.

"Don't speak if you can't speak."

Glaring at Yili, he turned his head and said softly to Otani Jiji.

"You can ride with peace of mind. I'll ride this guy's horse. As for her, let's walk, just to have a long memory."

Li Yi shrugged, took off his coat and put it in the salute behind the horse, and led the horse to Yiyin with a smile.Since there is no war, she doesn't bother to wear it.The journey is far away, the lighter is the lighter.

Yiyin rolled his eyes at her, saying that you are not stupid if you are stupid.He had no choice but to get on the horse, too lazy to argue with her.Turning his head, he gave Otani Yoshitsugu an encouraging smile and motioned her to get on his Kiso horse.

This horse was much higher than the war horse of Yiyi, Otani Jiji bowed hesitantly, she just had bad skin and pretended to be unwell.It is not appropriate to be exposed at this time, so he gritted his teeth decisively and got on the horse.

"This Mr. Shiba is really considerate."

Hosokawa Fujitaka behind him couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at her.

"The Shiba family is far away in Owari. Even in recent days, there is no need to do anything to the people of the country, let alone for you."

Hosokawa Fujitaka pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, she just didn't like Shiba Yoshigin.Ever since the mother knew that she had this fiancé, everything she saw in her eyes was wrong.

Akechi Mitsuhide was different, more objectively, she always felt that this boy was different from what was passed down in Kyoto, so she couldn't help but help.

"What? Have you taken a fancy to him? Then let me lead you there?"

"No, thank you."

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't bother to talk to her about someone who was stuck in it and couldn't think clearly.

Yoshigin and the others are walking along the Seta River towards Lake Biwa, but there are people in Mekata Castle at the south end of Lake Biwa who are thinking about it.

"My young master is well."

Although Mekata Tsunakiyo was surprised that Sanya Yoshiharu got it, he still saluted respectfully while suppressing his doubts.

Mekata Castle is the territory of the Mekata family, and her family is a famous hexagonal loyal dog.

Among the territories of the Liujiao family, the wealthiest one is not the residence city of Guanyinji Castle, but the castle town of Mekata Castle.

It is also strange to say that other cities have towns first and then develop castle towns, but Mekata Castle has castle towns first and then builds cities.

Mekada Castle Town is located at the southernmost end of Lake Biwa. It has the best commercial port around Lake Biwa. Merchants spontaneously turned it into a prosperous commercial port.

In order to supervise the taxation here, the Rokkaku family sealed the most trusted Mekata family here, forming a special case that the castle does not own a castle town.

The castle town tax here is directly supplied to the needs of the Rokkaku family, which shows the special relationship between the Rokkaku family and the Mekata family.

Liujiao Yizhi came this time because the matter to be done is too important, and he can only rest assured that he can only leave it to his most loyal retainers.

"Gang Qing doesn't need to be too polite."

Rokkaku Yoshiharu helped Mekata Tsunakiyo up with a smile, and sat in the room with her.

Seeing Rokaku Yoshiharu sneaking in, Mukata Tsunaki had a premonition in his heart, and he had already sent away the left and right to speak in the secret room.

"I'm here because there is something that needs to be done by Gang Qing."

"It's all at the command of the young master."

Since there were no outsiders, Rokkaku Yoshiharu didn't exchange pleasantries, and just said it directly.

"This time, my mother asked the shogunate for support in the campaign against Asai. How could I have imagined that Lord Gongfang sent a young man here, haha."

"A boy? A man? Is Mr. Gongfang looking down on my Liujiao family!"

Mekata Tsunakiyo immediately felt uncomfortable.In this world, women are preferred to men. For the most important affairs of the samurai family, such as fighting, the general only sends a man to fulfill the covenant, which is too much.

"It's just that I don't want to offend the Asai family. The current Ashikaga family, hmph. My Rokkaku family sent troops to fight against the Miyoshi family for the two generations of the government. Now it's a trivial matter, but the shogunate is unwilling to contribute."

"What the young master said is that this kind of covenant is unnecessary."

Mukata Tsunakiyo followed suit, but Rokkaku Yoshiharu glanced at him.

"This covenant was brought back by warrior Ji who died in the battle of my Liujiao family. Why not. I came this time because of my mother's intention."

"What is the Lord's order?"

Mekata Tsunakiyoshi is not a fool, he knew that it was about drama, so he listened carefully.

"The shogunate sent Prince Siba this time, Yoshigin, what mother means is, let him disappear."

"Disappear? This..."

Mekata Tsunakiyo turned pale with shock, she didn't expect Liujiao mother and daughter to be so courageous.That's someone sent by the shogunate, and he's the son of the Shiba family, so this identity can be changed at will.

"If you tell you to do it, do it, don't tell me you want to betray the Liujiao family!"

"I dare not, it's just... I'm afraid that the news will be leaked..."

Mukata Tsunaki was flustered, but he didn't dare to refuse.Rokkaku Yoshiharu also knew what she was thinking. Although the Ashikaga family was weak, they still had extremely powerful prestige to ordinary samurai families.

There are not many samurai who dare to attack the shogunate. Not everyone is as strong as the Miyoshi family, who is alive and kicking in the name of the enemy of the samurai, and lives with such a big heart.

"Don't worry, the sick woman from Otani's family is the only one following Yoshihiko Shiba this time, and I've found out that the peasants and soldiers are only twenty-three.

In order to deal with Miyoshi's invasion, the shogunate cannot send troops to follow.The Shiba family has long since fallen, and there is no more than one guard around them.You just need to find a suitable place to ambush and stand up to kill, and no one will survive. "

After listening to Rokkaku Yoshiharu's bewitching, Mukata Tsunakiyo gradually calmed down.

"But, young master, in case a few escape..."

"As long as Shiba Yoshiyin is killed, the others are just some untouchables, not qualified to go back to the shogunate to listen to the heavens. Could there be other shogunate dignitaries in the team, and if there is a man in turn?"

Yoshiharu Rokagon waved his hand confidently.

"The Koga crowd still has information, there is a reward from Owari, Shiba Yoshiyin's head offers fifty kan, hahaha.

I let someone spread false news and changed it to five hundred guan.Even if you lose your hand, someone will make the money. "

After Mukata Tsunaki heard about it, he felt that it was feasible and worth a try with double insurance in his hands, and he coveted the five hundred guan.

"The five hundred guan..."

Rokkaku Yoshiharu gave her a blank look.

"Naturally, it's Owari's bounty offerer. As for whether to admit it or not, it's none of our Liujiao's business."

Mekata Tsunaki swallowed his saliva, and swallowed back the intention of begging for a reward.

The owner's family is also unscrupulous. They enjoy special services. If they don't pay, they don't count as female tickets. Pity that Owari took advantage of it.
