Chapter 28: Anecdotes from Kyoto

After Yakora and his party packed up the pottery left by the ninjas, temporarily stored the pottery in Azuchi Village, and repeatedly told everyone in Azuchi Village to beware of foreign ninjas or other forces, Sakaku, Hidetaka Kawajiri and Masakatsu Wasuka set off for Kyoto again.

The closer they got to Kyoto, the more uneasy, excited, or fearful they became. As they watched the steady stream of merchants and townspeople from the neighborhood coming out of Kyoto, their curiosity grew. As a samon from Mt. Hiei, Akiyama has no new interest in Kyoto, and the only thing that can be of interest to him is his yearning for the weapon of iron cannons.

Hidetaka Kawajiri saw that he was almost in Kyoto, so he reined in his horse and said to Chang Bei behind him: "Although Kyoto is under the jurisdiction of our family, we should also abide by the laws of Kyoto, if someone violates the laws of Kyoto, I can only hand over the offender to the Kyoto Governor, and you should know the end without me!" ”

After hearing this, the people from Gifu said loudly, and the burning sky said to the peasants and soldiers of Kozan: "You have also heard what Kawajiri-sama said, just take care of your hands and mouth, and bring your eyes." Wasuka Masakatsu then stressed the issue of discipline to Ashigaru from Yokoyama Castle, and threatened that if anyone dared to break the law, he would cut off his head with his own hands and hang it on the road leading to Kyoto.

Under the repeated lessons of the three of them, the people were able to continue to set foot on the road to Kyoto. At this time, Fushiwa Meijiro suddenly said to the burning sky: "My lord, there are some things I want to deal with in Kyoto, I wonder if my lord can let me move freely in Kyoto for a day and a night?" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky first shook his head, then nodded, and finally said to Fushiwa Mingjiro: "Mingjiro, I don't know if I want to repair near Kyoto this time, if the realm has not yet arrived, I can give you this time; Besides, you now have to demand yourself as a samurai of the Oda family, and the importance of your family's affairs is far greater than your own private affairs! ”

After hearing this, Fushiwa Meijiro immediately bowed to the burning sky and apologized: "I am rude, I hope your lord will forgive me!" After that, everyone continued in the direction of Kyoto and did not repeat it.

Kawajiri Hidetaka first showed Oda Nobunaga's written order, and after getting the test, he led everyone into the Shitamachi of Kyoto, and everyone looked at the Emperor's palace in the distance with respect, and Kawajiri Hidetaka said to Kawajiri Hidetaka: "Rokubei, we should go to the government office to report first, and wait for the arrangement of Lord Murai!" After hearing this, Hidetaka Kawajiri and Masakatsu Wasuka also agreed with the opinion of the burning sky.

The people then led Ashigaru and the peasants to the Shinjo Shogun, and on the way, the townspeople and merchants gave way to the samurai and ashigaru who were carrying the Oda family flag, and the Yakoru walked at the back with the peasants.

Before everyone reached the commission, suddenly a samurai woman dressed in military uniform rushed out of the road. Nahime Warrior had a gorgeous sword hanging from his waist, and he held a naginata knife in his hand that was a few sizes smaller, and said to Hidetaka Kawajiri: "If you want to go out of the Oda family, I hope that your lord will introduce him to His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga (I feel a little better than "Adult", so that the class division between everyone is clearer.) After hearing this, Hidetaka Kawajiri put away the knife that had been drawn, and shouted loudly to Wasuka Masakatsu and Burning Sky behind him: "Lord Wasuka, Meishamon, please come here!" ”

Burning Sky was behind him, explaining the new things in Kyoto to the peasants and soldiers of Koyama, and explaining to everyone where the Nanban people who had just walked by the roadside came from. Suddenly, he heard Kawajiri Hidetaka shouting in front of him, and subconsciously held the naginata knife on his shoulder, and then said to Mingshan and Fushiwa Mingjiro: "Mingshan is here to restrain everyone, Mingjiro will follow me to find out!" ”

Only two people stepped forward, and the rest stood by, not because there was no military strategy for burning the sky, but because the people in Kyoto's Shitamachi who dared to openly attack the Oda family's military strength had already been crushed by Oda Nobunaga. Kawajiri Hidetaka should have encountered something unexpected, so Burning Sky boldly stepped forward with Mingjiro.

The three of them came to the front of the team and saw the samurai woman dressed in military uniform, and then asked Hidetaka Kawajiri, "What's wrong?" After hearing this, Kawajiri Hidetaka said with a wry smile: "Lord Wasuka, Mingshamon, this Ji warrior has to be the lord!" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky laughed and said, "She wants to be the master!" Then you might as well persuade her to go out of your family, with your Kawajiri family's family business, it shouldn't be a problem! After hearing this, Kawajiri Hidetaka said helplessly: "Mingshamen, this is not my lie, but she spit out every word." ”

Wasuka Masakatsu changed his color when he heard this, and glanced at the Ji warrior in front of him quite sharply, and then said to the Ji warrior: "If you want to go out of the Shi family, why don't you go to the Jingzhong Governor's Office, but come to block our way, and don't retreat quickly, otherwise we will severely punish you with Kyoto decrees!" ”

Since nearly 200 people stopped in the middle of the street, and the townspeople were blocked here for a while, some good townspeople and merchants gradually gathered around to watch the conversation between the four people and the Nahime warrior. One of the faces, the moment he saw Burning Sky and Wasuka Masakatsu, hid in the middle of the crowd in some horror.

At this moment, Burning Sky saw a team of people from the Oda family running behind the Nahime warrior, and the samurai led by it was actually Murai Sadakatsu, one of the Kyoto commissioners. I saw Murai Sadatsu scolding at the Ji warrior in a loud voice: "Ah Jie, why did you come here!" ”

After Burning Sky saw Murai Sadakatsu, he bowed his head to Murai Sadakatsu together with Wasuka Masakatsu and Kawajiri Hidetaka and said, "Murai-sama! ”

Only then did Murai Sasakatsu realize that it was not the samurai of Kyochu who were blocked by his daughter. And because the Amitabha Buddha on the burning sky was too dazzling, Murai Sadakatsu quickly reacted and said to the burning sky: "Hiei Mountain is burned in the sky!" Long time no see! Then he said to Burning Sky and the others: "Return Rokubei and Wasuka, you are here to transport the iron cannon back to Kaimachi?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Murai Sadakatsu said to Hidetaka Kawajiri and the others, "The iron cannon is now in the office, so I will take you to the office." ”

I saw that after the Ji warrior saw his father, he immediately became extremely well-behaved, and honestly followed behind everyone without saying a word. It was not easy for Burning Sky and the others to ask Murai Sadakatsu more, so they followed Murai Sadakatsu without a sound. The townspeople, who had been watching the bustle, immediately dispersed, and the streets resumed normal traffic again.
