The eyes of both Raizo and Kin'emon were almost stared straight, their heads sticking out like giraffes.

"Hey, you two..." Mi Tian shook his head, knowing that his subordinates were a bit "wild and unruly".But the woman in front of me really looks very interesting, her demeanor is like a cluster of light plum blossoms, and her temperament is like icy white snow.

Xuezi has always had two faces in front of people and Xia Lin.

"Don't look, hurry up and follow!" Oden said, he couldn't wait to meet Kuri's daimyo and Asura boy.

A few people followed Xuezi and the government troops that the Heavenly Leaders followed, and they became even more eye-catching along the way.

"Damn it, Oden-sama should be like this in the future!" Kinemon and Denjiro envied.

Uniformly dressed and walking in unison, this kind of army seems to have an indescribable temperament, as if it is like a river that is constantly converging and a certain force that is twisted together, it looks invincible.

In their view, Kozuki Oden, who will sooner or later become the general of Wano country, should also have such an army, so that he is worthy of his status.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse. Although Yingxiangshan seems to be close in front of us, they still walked for a long time before reaching the foot of the mountain.Arriving here, the number of guards has obviously increased.

Instead, many of the accompanying people dispersed and returned to their original posts.

On the winding mountain road, at intervals there stood a soldier in armor standing upright. The road under his feet was also a road made of bluestone. Walking on this road, he was stared at by the soldiers on both sides with cold eyes. It is an unspeakable pressure in itself for the timid.

While Kin'emon felt a sense of oppression, he was also thinking bad things behind his back.

"It's just a mere daimyo mansion, but it's built in such a grand style, I don't know why I thought this kuri daimyo was the general of this country!" '

Although they didn't see Xia Lin, Jinweimen and others already had a bad impression of him.

This is not just caused by the gorgeousness of Daming Mansion.The most important reason is what they have encountered along the way.

It's not that they haven't caused troubles in other villages, but the only one who sent government soldiers to arrest them because they ate some crops or destroyed some property was the name of Jiuli.

What's more, that woman just said that "my lord wants to see you".

At first, I was confused by that person's temperament and appearance and didn't react, but now that I think about it, doesn't this sound like summoning?It's just a mere daimyo, how should he put on this kind of airs?

Do you really think that after Oden-sama severed ties with the general, Oden-sama became an ordinary citizen?

You must know that even the Shimotsuki clan who have served as the daimyo of Baiwu for generations dare not treat Oden with this attitude.The daimyos in other townships are just out of sight, and they don't regard Oden as a refugee.

A group of people followed Xuezi up the mountain road until they arrived at the gate of Daming Mansion, and the soldiers around them had completely dispersed.

When the guard guarding the gate saw Xuezi approaching, he immediately looked serious and opened the gate.

All of a sudden, the group of people were stunned by the scene in front of them, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

The first thing you see after entering the gate is a courtyard.This courtyard was built by Xia Lin based on the style of Suzhou gardens. Although his memory is not very clear, the scenery presented is still shocking. Although Jinweimen was born in the capital of flowers, he was not actually born. Very knowledgeable guy.

"Oh? This garden is really nice." Mitian admired, "It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful garden."

In other words, even the general's residence was nothing more than that.

But this is also a matter of course, he still spent a lot of thought on the Daming Mansion in Jiuli.Although it is said that he will definitely move to the Flower City in the end, but according to the progress of Orochi, it will be at least ten years later.

This also means that he has to live in this Daming Mansion for about ten years, which naturally takes a little effort.

Chapter 24 Xia Lin's Malice

Xuezi led them along the winding corridors. The winding corridors and the clear and flowing pool water made the whole garden seem to have aura.

However, although this kind of scenery is beautiful, it is obviously unbearable for them to be in front of reckless men like Oden and Kin'emon.

Kin'emon twisted his face, and whispered to Denjiro, "It would be faster if you walked straight, right? Why do you have to go around like this?"

It can be seen that Yutian also has the same idea. The garden looks beautiful at first glance, but the winding corridors make the road that is not far away become longer. Although the green plants and water scenery along the road are very good, the rockery and sculptures The bars are very delicate, but they still feel a little uncomfortable.

These long corridors are overlapping like intestines (nine-curved ileum), and you can jump over each other with a light jump (index meter width), but you have to walk step by step like this, which makes Oden feel to very uncomfortable.

In other words, restraint.

At this time, he felt that this Jiuli was as restrictive as the capital of flowers, not only a road, but also the rules and regulations of Jiuli.He couldn't help but want to break it.

But he neglected that doing whatever he wants is not "freedom".

Some of these rules that make him feel restrained must exist.

Of course, he didn't realize this at this time, and it would be even more difficult for him in the future to figure it out.

Now, all he wants is to jump out of this frame as soon as possible, and want to get rid of the shackles on his body.

"Hey, woman, tell me which room Kuri's daimyo is in, and I'll go find him myself!" He shouted loudly at Xuezi.

Hearing this, Xuezi who was walking in front slowly stopped, turned around and looked at him.

"Find him by yourself? What does this mean? Do you think I will let you gang of disrespectful people walk around here wantonly?" Xuezi said coldly, her words were very rude.She doesn't like Kozuki Oden, and although Master Xia Lin asked to see him, he didn't say that he should be treated with courtesy.

What's more, there are many maids in the Daming Mansion. These are the harem she built for Xia Lin.The Inner Palace is a place where those who have been planted with the seal of the big snake cannot enter. God knows what will happen to these people when they see those beautiful maids?

"You actually said you were rude..." Jinweimen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, looking very angry, "You woman, don't make a mistake! The one standing in front of you is—"

"Wait, Kin'emon, I'm not the general's son." Mida interrupted him, leaving Kin'emon speechless.

"But, but..." Kin'emon and the others couldn't understand why their Oden-sama could still maintain a good temper at this time.

They didn't understand, but Xia Lin, who was standing on the high pavilion and watching all this, understood that it was because Yu Tian, ​​who had the blood of Guangyue, was too tolerant.

Seeing this, Xia Lin casually stretched out her hand and summoned a maid.

Huizi, who was on duty to serve Xia Lin today, quickly ran over, looked at the back of the lord in front of him, and said respectfully, "Master Xia Lin, what are your orders?"

Neither Keiko nor Xuezi was planted with the seal of the big snake. In fact, most of the maids were not planted with such a mark.Although they were all collected by Xuezi, there was no coercion in this process.

Rather, it saved them from suffering.

Keiko was originally a resident of another village, because of her good looks and ordinary background, she was later spotted by a local rich man. The rich man failed to propose a marriage. In a rage, the rich man planned to make her family fall apart, and the huge debt could not be paid off. Originally, she could only be sold into You Guo as a You Girl to pay off her debts.

Later, when she heard about Jiuli, Huizi thought, since she was going to be sold into Youguo anyway, it would be better to go to Jiuli, where I heard that the traveling girls could get a lot more share.Moreover, You Guo in Nine Miles is said to attach great importance to hygiene, and the probability of getting sick is lower.

Keiko had seen some sick wandering girls, and the miserable appearance terrified her.

Later, after going through all kinds of hardships and coming to Jiuli, Xuezi fell in love with Xuezi when she was registering. Xuezi helped her pay off her debts and brought her to the Daming Mansion.

Having escaped the tragic ending of being toyed with by thousands of people, Keiko, who no longer has anything to rely on, has already regarded this daimyo mansion as her home. What's more, daimyo is also very handsome, which makes her feel that her life has suddenly become different.

"Keiko, you send someone down to tell Xuezi to bring those people to the first floor so that there is no conflict," Xia Lin said.

"Bring it to a tall building?" Keiko whispered, covering her mouth in surprise.

"Well, let's go."

"Yes, I understand."

The tall building or tower is the widest building in the Daming Mansion, like a giant tower, with a total of nine floors.

The bottom two floors are where he handles official business, and the third floor can be said to be a restaurant, which is usually only used if there is a banquet.The uses of each floor above are different, but they are all places where no one except the maids can set foot.

Generally speaking, the meeting with outsiders is only in the meeting hall of the foreign government.

In addition to this towering building, there are also other buildings, such as houses where some handymen live, kitchens, dojos for practicing kung fu, private colleges, and so on.

On the other side of the garden, Yukiko confronted Oden with a hostile face.He doesn't care if Oden is said to be rude to his face.Anyway, this is the case, and he is not ashamed of it, but proud of it.

Sometimes he made many mistakes knowingly, just to feel the joy of breaking the constraints.Xia Lin doesn't dislike bold people.In fact, when he originally watched the anime, his view of Kozuki Oden changed.

Originally, he didn't have much like or dislike for it, until he was a man but didn't want to take responsibility, and a series of mind-stopping operations in the later stage coupled with the "everyone must like" this kind of attitude is not weaker than the red-haired face. The weapon of causality made Xia Lin feel disgusted with this person.

But this disgust is still much less than his son.

Xia Lin would sometimes think maliciously, whether it would be better not to let the guy who must die be born, or let the guy be tortured and die after being born.

"Kuzuki Miden, since you have admitted that you are not the son of a general, then in this Kuri, you must act in accordance with the rules of Kuri." Yukiko was still talking, but the expression on Kozuki Miden's face was distorted. It looks like countless layers of skin and flesh piled up together.

Xuezi was half dead with anger, if a maid hadn't come over and brought Xia Lin's words, Xuezi would have been about to slash him with a knife.

Chapter 25 Meeting Kozuki Oden

After receiving Xia Lin's order, even if Xuezi gets angry again, she will not disobey it.

She gave them a hard look with those eyes that wished to kill Yutian and others, then she took a deep breath and said forcefully, "Follow me."

Oden also didn't want to argue in this situation, after all, he didn't know anything about Kuri's daimyo, Xia Lin, and he also hoped to get a little support from Kuri's daimyo, regarding the founding of the country or going to sea.

Even if the other daimyos are the Kang family, they will not stand on the same path as him at this point, but this new kuri daimyo has this possibility.Being able to pacify Jiuli, which has been a chaotic place for hundreds of years, is enough to prove his courage.

In fact, it is not impossible for other villages or capitals of flowers to pacify Jiuli, but it just needs to pay some price.This made the generals of all dynasties subconsciously ignore Jiuli.

After all, what's wrong with maintaining the status quo?

For them, as long as the status quo is maintained, they can maintain their rule, and it doesn't matter how remote a place like Jiuli is.In this way, Xia Lin, who was able to turn Jiuli into the prosperous appearance it is today, may be a flexible person.

So Mitian restrained himself, Kin'emon and others, and slowly followed Yukiko to the main hall.

By here, the guards had turned into women.

Those women were wearing light armor and holding swords in their hands. It could be seen that the strength of these people was not bad.Xuezi recruited a lot of women to serve Xia Lin. These people were assigned different jobs by Xia Lin after they entered the Daming Mansion.

Some people learn to read and write, and some people practice martial arts, or some other skills, including dancing, singing, musical instruments and so on.

When these female guards saw Xuezi approaching, they nodded at her first, and then looked at Mi Tian and the others. To be precise, they should be looking at the knives hanging around their waists.

There were a total of eight people accompanying Mita, among them Mita, Kin'emon, Denjiro, Kanjuro, and Raizo were all armed.

"Weapons are forbidden to enter." The two guards said bluntly, while reaching out their hands to take the knives on their waists.

Kin'emon Cheng wanted to get angry, but saw that Oden had already taken off En Mo and Tian Yuyu from his waist, and handed them up.Seeing this, the others had no choice but to take off their weapons.Because Lei Zang had too many weapons, he was taken to another place for a body search.

Mitian is more than three meters tall, and the two swords in his hand are also more than 1.5 meters long, which feels very heavy in his hands.These two knives are both big fast knives, which were made for him by the current general of Wano country, Kozuki Sukiyaki.

To be honest, as long as these two knives are still on Mi Tian's body, the so-called severance is just a joke.

"Is this okay?" Oden asked loudly as his patience was almost exhausted.

Before the two maids could speak, they heard a voice from inside the mansion.

"Bring them in, Xuezi."

"Yes!" Xuezi agreed vigorously, and then led Yu Tian and the others into the room together.

After passing through the long corridor and aisle in the room, and opening several shoji doors, Mitian and the others saw Xia Lin sitting in front of the desk and waiting for a long time.

The man who accomplished the feat of conquering Jiuli was not tall, nor did he not look fierce.On the contrary, he looked very gentle, not even a very capable fighter.

At this time, this person was sitting in front of the desk looking at a pile of documents, as if he was very distressed.

Oden felt the opponent's aura, and could confirm that the opponent's appearance of being weak was just a superficial appearance. He could feel that the opponent's strength was actually very strong, but it was unclear who was stronger compared to him.

The current Xia Lin is not in the receiving state, but since this period of time, his strength has improved a lot, and his mastery of domineering is getting stronger every day.

"Are you the daimyo of Kuri?" Oden asked loudly.

"You're rude, you have to call him Master Daimyo!" Xuezi scolded angrily.

But Xia Lin waved her hand to let her not care about it.So Xuezi walked up to him with small steps, then knelt down and sat down.When Jinweimen and others watched a cold woman like her do everything she could by Xia Lin's side, their faces were also very exciting.

"Please sit down, Mr. Mitian." Xia Lin's appearance made Mitian and others unable to see his joy.

But anyway, Xia Lin did prepare the seats in advance, which looked quite solemn.

"Keiko, let the servants serve the food."

"Yes." Keiko nodded, and slowly withdrew. After a while, many maids came in with dishes and sake, and set up a banquet on the table in front of Mi Tian and the others.

The exquisite dishes and aroma made Kin'emon and others salivate frequently.

Except for Lei Zang, none of them had ever eaten anything delicious.When Kin'emon and Denjiro followed Mita, Mita was just expelled, and the most abundant food they ate after that was oden.

"You're welcome, please use it."

"That's really true. Thank you for your hospitality. I'm just hungry." Mita was also attracted by these foods. The food in front of him was obviously something he had never seen before, or in other words, it seemed that there was no food in Wano Country. This style of cooking.

Xia Lin doesn't like to eat flashy Japanese food, so the dishes in Daming Mansion are all Chinese dishes.

The dishes that have never been seen before, the aroma, color, and taste are all tasted by gods.Just as Mi Tian took a sip, he almost wanted to pick up the small table and swallow all the dishes in one gulp.

Several subordinates were even more immersed in hard work, making a mess.

"good to eat!"

"It was delicious too!"

"Is this what daimyo eats?"

Even if you are a daimyo, you probably have never eaten such delicious food, right?Mita thought.Not to mention the daimyo, even the shogun must have never eaten it, and Mita even guessed that the cooking method of this kind of food is very likely to come from overseas.

Thinking of this, he felt even more that Jiuli's name might help him go to sea.
