Section 566 The price of dinner
At night, there is a gentle wind blowing, with a hint of incense in the wind, and a hint of cigar.
Boom! The bamboo tube made another thud.
The white crane already knew that this thing had a nice name, called Surprise Deer. It is a Zen feature in the garden of the Wa Kingdom.
The night was very quiet, the white crane was biting a cigar and wearing clothes and was still sitting under the porch of this courtyard, there were three sleeping people in the room behind him, the white crane was sitting there quietly, it seemed that there was a maid in the other room, but no one dared to come and disturb. Glancing up at the bright moon in the sky, Shiro Crane placed his cigar on a celadon plate beside him.
This courtyard is quiet only with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Not far from here, in another courtyard, less than a hundred paces, it would be surprising if Shiramei Crane arranged for someone to listen here at this time.
More than 100 people volunteered to make the plate, the oldest was no more than seventeen, and the youngest was even eleven years old, and they were all vying to make the plate.
The men are fighting for the interests of the family, and the women are fighting for their own scenery.
Not to mention Ashikaga Chikaku, who was sent to the small family as a maid, this time when he came back, there were at least ten horses of fine silk alone, not to mention the life of fine clothes and food. I heard that every month, every meal will never be the same, and everyone is four dishes and one soup.
There are also three small banquets a month, with hundreds of dishes to choose from.
They are living too well compared to here, why don't they go, this is a chance to reach the sky.
Don't say it's a dinner plate, even if you cut a piece of your own meat, you're willing.
On the other side, Kyomachi Pier!
A gorgeous spy war blockbuster is being staged on Wajima, and the spies of the Oda family who infiltrated the Ashikaga family worked hard to send out a lot of information, and little by little gathered in the Oda family's intelligence station.
Meanwhile. The warrant for Shiranakatsuru has also been sent to Oda Kasumi.
Go home first!
This warrant made Oda Kasumi almost go crazy, could it be that Shirana Tsuru planned to live in the Ashikaga Shogun's Mansion for a long time, this was absolutely impossible, this was something she could not tolerate. At that moment, Oda Kasumi ordered people to prepare the frame. I'm going to Kyoto by myself. Niwa Shu got this order and immediately blocked in front of Oda Kasumi.
"Your Highness Xiangcheng, absolutely not." Niwa Shu can't help but stop it, Oda Kasumi's education can be said to be the worst among the women of the Oda family, and her wisdom is not enough to accomplish such a big thing.
"Why, do you let that woman do whatever she wants?"
"This is a decision made by Haku-sama, and it is not something that Ashikaga Chijaku can influence. If Your Highness is not at ease, then I have a plan to arrange for someone to go to the resignation table. Then ask for the itinerary that you would like to make. According to the information, Haku-sama is interested in going to Arima Onsen, so I venture to guess that all these trips were not arranged by the Ashikaga family. β
"What do we have in Cheongju?" Oda Kasumi asked a very silly question.
Of course, Niwa Shu can't answer this question either, because she doesn't know what Shirana Tsuru likes.
"Then, there you go!" Oda Kasumi considers herself noble, but she also knows that she can't go wrong. Otherwise, once he loses his position here, he won't even be able to return to the Oda family. I can only end my own life.
It's not a short distance from Kyoto, and when Niwa Shu arrived in Kyoto, the team was already preparing to travel to Arima with Shirana Tsuru, a three-day trip planned. But how to arrange these three days, even the elders of the Ashikaga family have no idea.
It can only be said. When I walked to that place with a good view, I stopped as long as Shira-nami Tsuru was in high spirits.
The Oda family's Niwa Hide, who asked to see him, was naturally qualified to come to the white crane. Niwa Shu handed over the resignation form, and then asked for instructions on how to arrange it when he returned.
Shirachikawaru thought for a moment and wrote down eight words on a piece of paper. They are: smoke and rain, sunset, cool breeze, dawn fog, fresh snow, bright moon, dark green, and spring color. After writing it, he handed the paper to Niwa Shu and said, "These places are what I want to go, but I originally thought of it, but I was afraid that you would be too busy and too hard in advance." β
Taking the paper with both hands, Niwa Shu was dumbfounded, because she didn't understand it at all.
She believes that this piece of paper in front of the Oda family is the same result, who can understand what these eight words represent?
"Smoke and rain: Hiei's woods ......" Shirana Tsuru explained one by one, Niwa Shu hurriedly used the pencil she brought with him to quickly record, except for Takebu Island, she had never heard of the rest, but I believe that someone must know when you go back, as long as you make arrangements with your heart.
"Slave retire!" Niwa Shu has already gotten what he wants, and staying too long at this time may not be a good thing.
What's more, this is the territory of the Ashikaga Shogun's Palace.
Before retreating, Niwa Shu glanced at Ashikaga Chiyuki, who had changed her hair accessories at the back of the team and was about to get on the sedan chair, secretly clenched her small fists, lowered her head and retreated away from Shironazuru's sight.
She already knew what Ashikaga Chiyuki had done, and she thought she could do it.
After Niwa Shu retreated, Ashikaga Chizaku came over and asked, "Except for Arima, isn't there anything else that attracts you, young master?" β
"Honnoji, set off by water today, and stay in Honnoji when you come back! Then let's wait for someone from the Oda family. As for Arima, why do you have to stay for ten days and a half months? β
Shirana Tsuru wanted to take the waterway, but instead of asking to use his own boat, he used the small Azuru of the Japanese people, and turned from Osaka Bay to Kobe, and then went straight to Oma Onsen, and of course, there was also a section of the road.
On the boat, even the sailors are all female sailors, and the power of the boat is still oars, so it is suitable for walking on the waterway.
got on the ship, the first piece of information was also sent by Wang Cheng, the safety inspection on the ship, Wang Cheng's people are doing, even if it is already very safe, this work will not be saved, the Japanese naturally dare not have opinions, respectfully cooperate with the inspection of Wang Cheng's guards, and also read the list of female ninjas arranged by the Ashikaga family one by one.
Wang Cheng sat next to Bai Minghe, picked out the key points, and quickly told Bai Minghe about the current situation in Wajima.
"Fire and water are incompatible. What about the four major ports? β
"Kiyoshu must be the exclusive possession of the Oda family, and Kumamoto Port is the exclusive possession of the Ashikaga family. But Fukuoka is obviously unable to keep the Ashikaga family, and the power of Wajima Hokai allows the Takeda family to support it, because Mrs. Huamei withdrew from the Hokkai, then only the Takeda family is dominant, so ninety percent of the merchants in that port are partial to the Takeda family, and the daimyo without financial support is vulnerable, so they have secretly turned to the Takeda family. β
"So, does the Ashikaga family know?"
"I know, but I can't do anything. What's more, the Ashikaga family has no overseas resources, and if it weren't for getting some of the goods from Tianjin Port, within five years, the Ashikaga family wouldn't be able to hold on without war. β
"You say, it's better to give it to the Ashikaga family?" The white crane asked again.
Wang Cheng seemed to have thought about this question a long time ago, and when he heard Bai Minghe ask, he immediately replied: "Lord Hui, what do you think of the southern part of Boluo Continent?" β
"The Oda family will want to bite me." Shira-naka made a joke.
Of course, the Japanese people don't have the guts, but what Shirana Tsuru said is not wrong, and the Oda family will definitely have ideas.
"Java, and then give them some North American land." Wang Cheng mentioned yì again.
"Yes, let them fight it themselves. I can't think of the chaotic Cheng dΓΉ there, Dongchang and the military headquarters have a headache to death, the terrain is chaotic, there are too many jungles, and there are a large number of natives, and there are many well-equipped Ottomans, just let them fight. β
"Then the subordinate retired first."
Wang Cheng was about to leave, but Bai Minghe said again: "By the way, there is one more thing. You arranged for someone to send a letter back, and they said that I was going to let the Ashikaga family move to another place and move in the direction of the estuary, of course, this is not what I meant, but what the Ashikaga family meant, in order to develop a business. β
"And what's next?" Wang Cheng asked.
Bai Minghe pulled Wang Cheng's clothes, approached Wang Cheng's ear and whispered: "I think about it, see if there is a way to kill the Japanese Emperor, of course, kill all of them." You try to spread a kind of rhetoric on Wajima, which is the history of our Chinese dynasty change, and then listen to the reaction of the Wa people. β
"This, I'm afraid it's not easy, there is a Shinto sect in Washima that supports the emperor."
"At least the emperor hasn't been deified yet, you go back and make arrangements, don't hesitate to build momentum with us, just say that the first emperor of Japan is Xu Fu of our Qin Dynasty, and you can think about the rest of the problems yourself, this kind of thing can't have a result immediately, how can it take a few years."
Wang Chengxin said that it would take a few years anyway, and it would be slowly, but he also persuaded him: "My lord, my subordinates advise me, the emperor should let him live a few more years, don't let the whole island go crazy." β
Bai Minghe waved his hand, signaling that Wang Cheng could retreat.
Wang Cheng left, and Ashikaga Chiyuki immediately came in, and as soon as he entered the warehouse, he hurriedly sat down next to Shirahima.
Shirana Crane smiled slightly, and reached out to grab Ashikaga Chiyuki.
There was a dance arranged on the ship, and the high-end geisha dances of Wajima had not yet appeared in this era, and those dancing white cranes were not interested in watching, and their eyes were slightly closed and resting, and suddenly the music stopped. Someone began to lay a mat in front of the white crane, and then two teams of good-looking women came in and sat on either side.
The mats were laid out, and a young and beautiful girl came out on each side, taking off her outer robe and putting it aside.
Inside is still a set of light robes, with fine white linen yarn, the body looms, after the two salute each other, they rushed forward to wrestle with their hands, they are not real wrestlers, just women from aristocratic families, it is better to say that it is a wrestling than a game, but it is a coquettish cheer.
Just as the white crane was about to shake his head, one of them grabbed the other party's collar and just pulled it.
The white linen yarn, which was not strong at all, was broken at once.
A piece of snow white is naturally exposed, her opponent does not show weakness, as soon as she pulls on her waist, it is also a piece of clothing and tears off, the two women keep rolling and tearing on the stage, and the only two strong strips of cotton on the body are the thin triangular belt on the waist, and the one on the chest. Of course, being strong doesn't mean you can block the position that needs to be blocked. (To be continued......)
