86. An opportunity to exalt
"Smack!" A feathered arrow shot from a distance and hit the target of the locust wood rope, and the arrow was nailed deep into the center of the circle about half a foot in diameter, and the feathers on the tail of the arrow were buzzing and vibrating.
"Good archery!" The same voice sounded in several mouths at the same time, and there was no essential difference between the sycophancy expressions on different faces.
"The lord is really a miracle shot!" The tall, thin one of the three courtiers preempted his companions to express his "heartfelt" respect for his master. "With the martial arts of the lord, he can be called the 'first warrior of the three good families', and I am afraid that there are few heroes in who can be compared!"
"Not bad, not bad...... "Goldfish Eye" beside him also praised one after another. "Not only, but also the world! The lord god is brave and unbeatable in the world, who in the world doesn't know?! β
Thirty paces away from the target stood a young man, dressed in a snow-white robe with narrow sleeves, a triangular leather chest guard on his right chest, an iron finger sleeve on his thumb, and a five-foot bow. This is the current governor of the Miyoshi family, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and the location is in the garden of Honmaru in Iimori Castle.
Miyoshi Yoshitsugu listened to the eulogy of his subordinates, his face was full of pride, and he casually took another feather arrow offered by the little surname and put it on the string, and turned his head sideways to look at it. "Whoosh!" Another arrow was shot, and the same bullseye hit the bull's-eye, and it was still a tide of "sycophants"!
"Riches! Why don't you speak, do you look down on my martial arts? Miyoshi Yoshitsugu ignored the tall and thin man and the "goldfish eyes", but turned to the young man on the side who had not opened his mouth and looked like a polite scholar, his first strategist, Kanayama Suruga Shouriquan.
"Needless to say, the lord's martial arts are strong, as for the prestige......" Jinshan Liquan glanced at the two colleagues beside him, trying not to show his contempt and disdain. I don't think there's anything to say! β
"What do you mean by that?!" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu didn't seem to be very satisfied with his attitude, and his voice raised a little.
"Don't you really understand what I mean?" Kanayama Izumi was not afraid of the lord's anger, on the contrary, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's emotions were exactly what he hoped for. His gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep to the porch of the room not far away, where a small table with tea, wine, and snacks was now arranged.
Next to the small table sat a young and beautiful young woman, fiddling with a short shaw in her hand. The bamboo short Xiao with her white jade-like wrists and slender hands, and her fairy-like face is really a scene in a classical lady's picture, but if you look closely, you will find that between her eyebrows from time to time there is a demonic aura. She is Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's favorite side room, and she is also the sister of Jinshan Liquan - Kagahime! This scheming woman nodded slightly after seeing her brother's inquiring gaze.
Jinshan Liquan clearly grasped this hint, so he was more assured to carry out his plan. ββ¦β¦ As long as you get out of this rice city, all you hear is the name of the 'Three Good Three People', and how many people will remember that the Governor of the Three Good Family is the lord of your Royal Highness? When I think about it, it's really sad......" he said as he shook his head and sighed, as if he had met with great misfortune.
"You're really boring!" Yoshitsugu Miyoshi slammed the longbow in his hand to the ground, and strode back to the table under the porch and sat down. I don't know if it's because of the exercise he just had, his breathing seems a little short.
"Your Highness......" Kagahime poured a full cup and handed it to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's hand, and then gently massaged Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's shoulder. My brother really can't speak, but he is also faithful, and please don't blame him. And really! The three adults are all elders of His Royal Highness, and they have been entrusted by the ancestors to assist His Highness, can they still have any rude thoughts? Maybe it's just that His Highness is still young, and he doesn't feel at ease in everything! Your Highness should also ...... for the sake of their hard work in the past" She said words of relief, but a wisp of mystery appeared on her face, and her eyes were fixed on the cup in Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's hand. It was not filled with tea, but with a glass of spirits.
"What hard work! Three old immortal guys! "Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's fire has finally been teased a little. After drinking it all, the wine glass was crushed with a clatter in his hand, and his face turned red.
"That's it!" Seeing the attitude of the master, "Goldfish Eyes" quickly took a stand. "Speaking of credit, the three old guys are just a few indiscriminate ones, what kind of civil and martial arts are the four countries of Ping Shiguo and Ding when the first monarch was there, and those three old ghosts just relied on the prestige of the first monarch to help with miscellaneous work, and what real merit is there? If they really have the ability, why can't they even get through a small Hanoi so far? Don't say it's a tough fight with Oda Nobunaga, a Zhuxing Qing clan will make them anxious, what kind of famous general is this? β
"Yes, yesγ...... "The tall and thin man hurried to follow, not to be left behind." Speaking of strong martial arts and resourcefulness, how can these three old guys compare to the lord? What kind of stuff are you pointing fingers at others when you fail! I think they have not allowed their lords to really take power, because they are afraid that once you make a contribution, they will cover them up. β
"It's understandable if it's really a love stack, after all, everyone has a heart for fame and fortune! I'm afraid of ......" Jinshan Liquan had a cold face, looking worried about the country and the people. "Some people actually have other intentions! Why do they continue to use troops abroad when they should recuperate after repeated defeats? Why is there always one of them who is watching over the lord in Iimori Castle? If it weren't for this accident, I'm afraid Miyoshi Changyi wouldn't have left! Iimori Castle is the residence of the lord, why has the army been drawn from here lately? Isn't this afraid that the lord will one day master a heavy army? Of course, this may also be my unfounded worries, but the lord ...... Don't be careful! β
"Lai Guo, Gao Xin, what do you think?" After a long silence, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu turned his head to ask the other two men, his chest rising and falling violently.
"My subordinates think that Lord Kanayama is ......very worried," the thin and tall Matsuda Takanobu replied quickly. As a close minister, he knew the mind of this master very well, and he himself hated the three people. "Now they are just afraid of external threats, they don't dare to be too blatant, who can say what will happen in the future? They never let their lord participate in foreign policy, and I am afraid that one day they will sacrifice their lord to protect themselves! β
"That's it!" Ogasawara Yorikuni, who has goldfish eyes, looks even more excited, and his two eyes are even more prominent. "Over the years, these three people have promoted their privates, obviously trying to overthrow the lord! Now the Ataka Navy and the envoys of the Sazaki Shihe family are also worshipping the lord after seeing the three of them, isn't this a clear reverse? β
"What do you think I'm going to do?" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has gradually lost his composure, and step by step onto the line arranged for him by the Jinshan brothers and sisters.
"Don't worry, the lord still has a chance!" Jinshan Izumi tried to suppress his great joy and stepped forward and said, "Now that the three of them have left Iimori City, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" In order to conquer the Changzong clan and defend the stars of Hanoi, all the generals basically left. The one in charge of staying here is Yoshimoto Kasai, although he is a general, he is just a brave man! If we ......"
"Repay the Lord!" At this time, a close attendant ran in and said, "A spy has come to report: the local tyrant Mizuki Sorokuro near Takaicheng Castle is gathering his troops, and there seem to be signs of instability!" β
"Tell them to go and talk to Yoshimoto Kasai!" Yoshitsugu Miyoshi, who was concentrating, was suddenly disturbed and looked a little resentful, and he waved his hand impatiently at the attendant.
"Lady Xiangxi has arrived...... I went to the branch city to inspect the defense! β
"Then go to whoever you like!" Miyoshi Yoshitsugu was furious.
"This ......," the attendant froze at a loss.
Jinshan Liquan's reaction was completely different from that of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and his eyes suddenly lit up after hearing the news. "How many people are there in Mizuki Village?" He asked the attendant.
"There are about 300 people in the whole village, and the men who can fight are more than 120 people!"
"Okay, you go down first! One will give you orders. After retiring from the close attendant, Jinshan Liquan turned his head and said to Miyoshi Yoshitsugu: "Congratulations, my lord, your opportunity has come!" β
"What's going on? You said! Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's interest was even more raised.
"That's how the minister planned......" Jinshan Liquan said with a mysterious face: "When Xiangxi Yoshimoto returns, he will tell him that it is reported that there are signs of gathering crowds to make rebellion among the people of Hequan Country at present, and you are very worried that His Royal Highness Miyoshi Changyi sent him to lead an army of 300 to reinforcements!" Xiangxi Yuancheng must not doubt it, so won't all the power of Iimori City fall into your hands? β
"It's a good plan!" After the excitement, Miyoshi Yoshiji couldn't help but hesitate a little. "Will he believe it?"
"Xiangxi Yoshimoto is brave and unscrupulous, and he has a deep relationship with Miyoshi Changyi, he will definitely believe it when you say this!" Jinshan Liquan is obviously a person who is very deep in the city, and he has been paying attention to the people and things around him for a long time.
"If Sanhao Changyi comes back...... "Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is still a little hesitant, after all, the three of Miyoshi have left a long-term prestige in his heart.
"It's not hard!" Jinshan Liquan continued to bewitch: "As long as the Lord fairly settles the rebellion of Mizuki, even if Miyoshi Changyi comes back, he can't say anything!" Besides, at that time, the lord had already mastered the military power of Iimori City, and he had to think about it. Mizuki is only a rabble of more than a hundred people, is the lord still afraid that he won't be able to take them? β
"That's it! The subordinates are willing to go out with His Highness! Ogasawara Yorikuni couldn't wait to fight, and Matsuda Takanobu on the side also nodded eagerly. (These are two people who don't know how many bowls of dry rice they eat)
"Good!" Yoshitsugu Miyoshi made up his mind this time. "As soon as Yoshimoto Kasai leaves, I will lead 800 men and horses to fight Mizuki! Gao Xin and Lai Guo will go out with me, and Liquan will defend the city! β
