In a rather large room in Oda Yoshinobu's mansion, nine samurai sat quietly in their seats, waiting for Oda Yoshinobu to summon him. These nine people are the samurai of other forces summoned by Oda Yoshinobu. Nowadays, most of them are unknown or only have some local fame, but for Oda Yoshinobu, these people are all famous generals in history.
Most of them did not come to Kyoto alone, but at this time, except for Oda Yoshinobu who summoned them by name, they left everyone at their accommodation. It's not that they want to keep a hand or anything, because they all know very well that if Oda Yoshinobu really wants to keep them in, then no amount of defense will be useful.
Coming alone, unless it will not arouse the disgust of Oda Yoshinobu, he can also show his sincerity. After all, for them, Oda Yoshinobu, who alone owns the country of Ise, is already an absolute behemoth, not to mention the Oda family, who dominates. Maybe many of them don't have any place to ask the Oda family, but if they can get in touch with them, it seems that they will be a sure deal.
It's just that time passed bit by bit, but Oda Yoshinobu still didn't send anyone to summon them.
"Second brother, His Royal Highness Shura, this is ......," Shimazu Iehisa asked in a somewhat impatient whisper.
"Wait honestly!" Yoshihiro Shimazu also replied in a low voice, but his tone was very serious. Because this is not the old sake house, it doesn't seem to matter what you say. Now by their side, there are seven other samurai who don't know which side they are. However, since he is qualified to be summoned by Oda Yoshinobu, no matter what, he can't be careless. Otherwise, if something rude is done, won't the Shimazu family become a joke?
This kind of thing is absolutely intolerable to Shimazu Yoshihiro. Although these people may not have heard the name of the Shimazu family at all.
Well, it is generally impossible for no one to hear of the Shimazu clan, after all, when the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in the past, the Shimazu clan was completely regarded as a Fengyun family. Not only did he participate in the Shogunate Movement initiated by Emperor Go-Daigo, but he also played a major role in the establishment of the Muromachi Shogunate by the Ashikaga clan.
And today's Satsuma Shimazu family has long been completely lost in the civil strife, and the whole world has fallen into war, so that the name of Satsuma Shimazu has been completely forgotten by the world. However, Shimazu Yoshihiro believes that one day, the Satsuma Shimazu clan will be known to the world again.
However, Shimazu Yoshihiro was obviously thinking too much, and at this time, the other seven people didn't look at this side at all, they all lowered their heads to themselves, and they didn't know what they were thinking. Their expressions were all solemn, and even those who were relaxed about Oda Yoshinobu's summons before couldn't help but be worried at this time.
Because at first, all they thought was that Oda Yoshinobu summoned them alone, but now, they found that there were several other people who had been summoned with them. And these people, although they don't know each other, just by looking at their appearance and the confidence they exude from the inside out, you can know that they must not be ordinary samurai.
And what does it mean that so many people have now been summoned by Oda Yoshinobu? Anyone with a slightly more sensible mind will guess that Oda Yoshinobu's intelligence network has been spread all over the world. Otherwise, how would we know that these people exist?
Well, it's no wonder they think so, after all, they came all the way to Kyoto, and even few people at home know about it, and they are very low-key when they arrive in Kyoto. If you only investigate what happened to them after they entered Beijing and the people around them, it is impossible to know their identities at all.
One of them, in particular, still uses a pseudonym, which makes him the most incredible. Because his pseudonym was only given out of sheer caution, and he never used it at all. It's just that I've gotten used to it all the way, and I've been using this name since I arrived in Kyoto. But even so, Oda Yoshinobu still sent people to find him. How does this not make him feel strange? He was very sure that the surname he used definitely didn't have any fame, let alone, even in Harima Province, where he lived, not too many people knew about it.
I don't know how long it took to say otherwise, but the atmosphere in the room was still so tense and awkward. After all, a group of people who don't know each other gather together in a big man's mansion who doesn't know whether it's good or evil for them, and the atmosphere is probably difficult if it's not embarrassing, right? Even Shimazu Iehisa, who has a big personality, became silent at this time.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came to everyone's ears from far and near, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the door.
"Wow!" With a bang, the door was slowly opened, and I saw two delicate-looking young women appear at the door, they were dressed in the service of the Grim Reaper, it was Oda Yoshinobu's personal guard, the female Grim Reaper. Well, since the female Reaper were trained, all the guards around Oda Yoshinobu have been replaced by these beautiful young female Reapers. Anyway, protecting Oda Yoshinobu is just a formality, and in that case, it might as well use some more beautiful vases.
Ahem, of course, the combat power of these female Reapers, at least, is much stronger than the average ashigaru. After all, it was carefully trained by Shiraki Yukihisa and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, so where can it be?
"Your Highness summons, please go with the villain to meet you." A woman said in a respectful voice.
Seeing this, the nine people almost got up together and glanced at each other, but none of them took a step. Well, there are a lot of rules in this era, when a group of people go to meet other people, the person with the highest status should go first, and then rank down according to their status.
But these nine people, except for the Shimazu brothers who know each other, don't know each other at all, let alone know each other's identities.
"Please go and meet you!" One of the female Grim Reaper said again, her voice raising a little, obviously very dissatisfied with the group of guys who heard that Oda Yoshinobu was going to summon them, and they were still standing there dumbfounded.
Hawkers,The Grim Reaper are all using the brainwashing education invented by Oda Yoshinobu before.,Especially these female Death Gods.,Because in addition to protecting Oda Yoshinobu's family,,Also responsible for some Oda Yoshinobu's special requirements.,So their brainwashing education,It's almost comparable to ninja.。 In their hearts, Oda Yoshinobu is the only true God, and that is absolutely not an exaggeration.
Hearing this, everyone's brows immediately furrowed, they were in their own place, even if they were not powerful people, they were also heroes with great ambition and ability, but now, they were being nagged by the two women in a blaming tone, and on the contrary, they were helpless.
At a loss, the oldest man chuckled, "I think, let's not let Oda-sama wait, let's line up according to the position of each of them from the door~"
"Let's do it." Everyone also knew that they could not delay this kind of thing any longer, so they responded in unison and lined up according to their respective positions.
Seeing this, one of the female Grim Reaper said again, "Then, please go with the villain to meet you." ”
All the way through the corridor, the nine people followed while secretly checking the situation of the mansion. Of course, they weren't looking at how elegantly and beautifully the mansion was furnished, but they were just observing the garrison. Well, they didn't have any other thoughts, they were just an instinctive reaction to the unknown as samurai.
It's just that, after observing for a long time, they didn't find half of the guards. "I really don't know if Oda Yoshinobu is too confident in his strength, or if the guards are hidden in the shadows."
After a short time, everyone followed the two Grim Reapers to a large room, "Please wait here, Your Highness will come soon." With that, the two girls prepared to leave.
"Two ...... Sister ......" Seeing this, Shimazu Iehisa couldn't help but call out to them, although he had some doubts about the title, but he still quickly expressed his doubts, "Don't we need to hand over our weapons to you?" As he spoke, he pointed to the knife at his waist.
Well, his doubts are normal, after all, it is a necessary action to meet the superior and hand in the saber, which is both to show his respect for the other party and for safety. At this time, in the room, each of the nine of them was armed with a sword, but there were no guards in the room.
Hearing this, the Grim Reaper couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Your Excellency, you're too worried, Your Highness doesn't care about this." With that, he slowly retreated with the other Grim Reaper.
Shimazu Jiajiu looked at the two departing daughters stupidly, his face full of embarrassment. Turning his head, he saw that everyone was looking at him silently, so he had to scratch his head and sneer, "I heard that His Royal Highness Shura was informal, but I didn't expect it to be true~ Ha...... Ha ......"
"Alas......" Shimazu Yoshihiro on the side sighed helplessly, but he didn't know what to say, because he thought so just now.
Just when the atmosphere began to become awkward again, a sound of footsteps came, and then I saw a beautiful man appear at the door, "Haha~ You're all here~ Not bad!" Not bad! ”
