Chapter 704: Heiankyo
What Pei Ziyun thinks in his heart, but not Ichiro Yamazaki can know.
"The Heiankyo I know doesn't have a city wall, but there is a towering city wall here, and Ichiro Yamazaki has been to Heiankyo, so naturally he can't be mistaken, this Heiankyo, just from the outside, is unusual. ”
Pei Ziyun looked at Heianjing with a faint gaze, and felt the unusual aura inside.
"Hmph, as soon as I arrived, I became Shinichi Yamada. ”
"It's still the Yamada Shinichi of this world, who lives in Izumi Province and has a family of 550 koku, which is considered a very decent samurai family, although in this era, samurai are not as prominent as later generations. ”
In the Heian period, the status of samurai was not high, and a hundred and fifty years ago, samurai were even no different from thieves, and they were legalized not long ago.
Later, the imperial court relied more and more on samurai to quell local rebellions and crusade against pirates, but now it was only a tool for the regents and the emperor to compete for power.
It would take 150 years for the samurai to become the decisive force in the political situation, establish the shogunate, and become the ruling class on the stage of history.
I came here inexplicably, and I directly became the young master of the Yamada family.
"Unlike the original Dongying, it was originally that the Dao Law and divine power were condensed in the soul and could not intervene in this world, but now it is a powerful force that seals its own power. ”
"Not only that, but it also produces a memory overlay, which is really strong. ”
If it weren't for the plum blossoms, I would immediately break through the fog of memory, and I was afraid that I would really think that there was a Yamada family in this era, and I was really the young master of this family.
If this is the case, I am afraid that I will be blinded by falsehood in front of my eyes, and I will die an unknown death. ”
Thinking of his mission to Heiankyo this time, as well as the respect and loyalty of "Yamada Shinichi" to Kuniji and Izumi Shou Tachibana Michisada, Pei Ziyun couldn't help but shake his head.
Not only is it well-arranged, but his identity is seamless, and the task of coming to Heiankyo is also very specific - he was ordered by Izumi Shou Tachibana Michisada to inquire about the other party's wife in Heiankyo and Izumi Shikibu.
"Is it the same as in history, because of separation, Izumi Shikibu had an affair?"
"Izumi Shou Tachibana Michichi smelled the light of the blue hat, so he sent someone to inquire, but this task was given to me, which is really reasonable!"
"However, in history, I heard that my lover was the third prince of Emperor Lengquan and was the prince, and Tachibana Daozhen could only divorce angrily, but she couldn't do anything to her. ”
Because of the Heianjing in front of him, it was a little different from what he remembered, so Pei Ziyun didn't think much about the rumors of Izumi Shikibu.
Now that the power is sealed, he plans to go through the motions with the identity arranged by the other party for him to see what the other party has in mind.
"After all, in addition to strength, you are also separated from me, so you have to find her first. ”
"A force blocked out my perception, but it was generally not wrong in this direction. ”
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun said to Yamazaki Ichiro: "Yamazaki, let's go faster, don't be locked up outside the city." ”
"Yes, Yamada Palace!" This proposal was exactly what Yamazaki Ichiro wanted, he straightened his chest, and helped the knife on his waist again, escorting Pei Ziyun to continue to move forward, and the weeds were already rising in his heart.
"Although I, Ichiro Yamazaki, am a loyal samurai and will not betray my superiors, but Yamada Hall is too young to say that he does not have much force, and if I can meet my wife, try to show my loyalty and talent, and be appreciated by my wife, and praise myself when I reply to the letter, wouldn't it be a great honor?"
"The Yamazaki family can also show their faces in front of Lord Tachibana Michisada, and it may not be just a low-level samurai far inferior to the Yamada family. ”
"Ha!" Pei Ziyun glanced at it and ignored it.
For many days along the way, Pei Ziyun actually had a small calculation in his heart about this person, and he knew it very well, but this was not his world, so he ignored it if it didn't harm him.
Or this caused Yamazaki Ichiro to have a misunderstanding, although he didn't dare to show disrespect, but he thought he was young and had a generous temperament, but he could be fooled, but unfortunately, Yamazaki Ichiro didn't know that Izumi Shikibu had cheated, this was not a letter, it was to spy on intelligence. ”
"And this involves the light of the blue hat of the Kunomaru Lord, go back and report it, the Yamada family may still have a chance to escape, Yamazaki Ichiro has only one way to die, will he fall into the water and die, or seppuku, right?"
"It's really the sadness of the little people. ”
Both of them were wearing straw sandals, a layer of snow on the ground, and their feet were very cold, and a strong man like Pei Ziyun didn't like this kind of weather, and when the city gate was approaching, the two of them accelerated and entered the city before the city gate was closed.
Because it was winter, it got dark quickly, and when we entered the city, the streets were empty and there were no passers-by.
This made Ichiro Yamazaki, who had been to Heiankyo a little puzzled.
Although Youjing was deserted due to the location of Heiankyo, they are now walking on the streets of Zuojing, and they should not be so inaccessible.
The shops or houses on the road are basically closed, and they can't find someone to inquire about where the orange family is.
Although Ichiro Yamazaki has been to Heiankyo, he has never been to Tachibana, so if you don't ask someone, you really can't find the address directly.
Yamazaki Ichiro still didn't give up, rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and proposed: "Yamada Palace, we have traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Heiankyo, why don't you find someone to ask for the address, and immediately go to the Tachibana Mansion to meet Mrs. Shikibu?
Pei Ziyun glanced at it with a smile, which made Yamazaki Ichiro look away with a little weakness.
"It's not proper, after all, it's a female dependent, and it's rude to see you at night. ”
Although Yamazaki Ichiro wanted to refute it, he was only a low-level samurai, and if he wanted to please the Tachibana family, he couldn't reach it, so he could only endure his dissatisfaction and nodded his head.
"There is no one on the road here, I don't know what the situation is, so I should quickly find a hotel to stay. Pei Ziyun said again, squinting and looking around.
I have never seen this image in the capital of a country.
Ichiro Yamazaki also had to admit that Heiankyo at this time at night was a little panicked when it was quiet.
Even if he didn't want to think about it, Ichiro Yamazaki couldn't help but think of the stories he heard from others when he came to Heiankyo a few years ago, and only then did he think that a cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver.
"Ah, there's a noodle stall in front, Yamada Temple, why don't you eat a bowl of noodles and then go to the hotel!
At this time, Ichiro Yamazaki saw a lantern with "soba" written on it from a distance and said in surprise.
This is the sign of a street stall that is commonly used, and Ichiro Yamazaki can't take a step at the thought of hot noodles running down his throat, and his stomach screams even more in response to the situation.
Pei Ziyun is indispensable, anyway, the cold weather has almost no harm to him, and the other party is willing to risk staying on this discordant street, but he is too lazy to object.
"It's fine. ”
"Then let's have a bowl of soba noodles for each person, it must be very good......"
Ichiro Yamazaki swept away the frustration of the rejection of the proposal, walked a few quick steps, and soon arrived at the lantern.
But when he saw the lantern clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the words stopped.
There is a noodle stall here, with a few cutlery and radishes on a small table, and the pot is steaming, but there is only water boiling, but there are no noodles, let alone people cooking noodles.
"What about people, what about people?" Yamazaki Ichiro felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still raised his voice and shouted a few words.
All around was the cold wind blowing, rolling up the snow on the ground, and no one answered.
Yamazaki Ichiro was looking forward to it, but it suddenly turned into anger, if it wasn't for the fact that Yamada Hall was on his side, if it was an era of samurai dominance 200 years later, I was afraid that he would have smashed the noodle stall directly.
Even so, I couldn't help but scold: "Eight grid tooth road, teasing people?!"
As soon as the words fell, there was no wind and no one, and the lit lantern suddenly went out with a pop, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness, not only that, but there seemed to be a cry of resentment.
Ichiro Yamazaki was directly stunned, his teeth chattered a little, and it took a few seconds to wake up, scream, and jump away directly in front of the noodle stall.
"Yamadaden, this ...... It's quirky here!"
"It's a bit quirky here, so it's better to leave. Pei Ziyun raised his eyebrows and said.
Ichiro Yamazaki didn't notice anything wrong, but now he felt like there were countless strange things looking at him in the depths of the darkness, and he suddenly felt cold and wanted to leave immediately.
Since Yamada Hall has spoken, he is naturally eager to speak.
The two of them quickly left in front of the noodle stall, and walked a little longer before they saw an inn.
The lantern at the entrance of the inn was also lit and swayed slightly in the wind.
Ichiro Yamazaki couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously didn't want to go over, but fortunately, he saw the light and figures inside next, and he was relieved.
"Why are the two adults still out at this time?"
A thin old man was about to close the door that was blown open by the wind, when he saw Pei Ziyun and Yamazaki Ichiro coming, he shouted in surprise, and hurriedly bowed down, not minding the coldness of the guests, and invited them inside, and said: "The guests are really bold, they dare to walk at night, please come in quickly!"
The door closed, and the warmth suddenly enveloped the two people, and Ichiro Yamazaki's almost frozen body was also recovering.
"Do you have sake and rice balls?" asked Ichiro Yamazaki, who didn't care about anything else.
"Don't worry, sir, there is nothing else, there is warm sake, and rice balls!" replied the innkeeper with a smile.
Pei Ziyun found an empty table where no one was around, and he could hear the whispered conversation of the guests at the next table.
Looking around, I found that I was still sitting in the lobby of the hotel at this time, all of them were samurai, with swords on the table, drinking and eating, and not forgetting to look around vigilantly.
Pei Ziyun sat down thoughtfully, and put the knife on the table, which was too far to see clearly, and in the near light, it was obviously a wooden knife, which made some eyes come over with a little subtlety.
Ichiro Yamazaki noticed the curious gazes of those people, only to feel that his face was a little feverish, and his heart was depressed.
Although the Yamada Hall who followed him was a generous person, he didn't need to pay for his own food and drink along the way, and there were rice balls every meal (although it was not necessarily white rice), you must know that ordinary samurai only ate bran, wild vegetables, and brown rice, and only the ministers ate white rice, fish, and shellfish.
This kind of treatment is really rare and should be thanked, but the other party is an embroidered pillow!
Traveling far away with only a wooden sword was a disgraceful thing for a samurai.
It's just that the other party is young and incapable, and he can still enjoy 550 stone of Zhixing, how can this not make him jealous?
"It's just that I'm just reincarnated in a better family, if it were me, I would definitely have been valued by Lord Tachibana Michizan!"
Ichiro Yamazaki has confidence in his martial arts, and when he went to Heiankyo, he encountered thieves, and as a result, he hacked three to death and successfully completed the task.
