In Kyoto, as the weather warms up, the city becomes more popular.

After a while, in the spring, the sons of the high gate would go to the suburbs in groups on ox carts to enjoy the flowers, the samurai would drink and sing under the trees, and the merchants of the castle town would make a lot of money.

Everyone has a different vision for spring. The recent days are not the same as a hundred years ago when the Ashikaga family was stable, and the frequent wars have made the land desolate.

Even Ashikaga shoguns have to escape from Kyoto from time to time, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mother, the twelfth shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu, has lived in exile for most of her life.

The precarious days allow the samurai to greedily enjoy the beauty of the present, regardless of the long-term future.

And those who want to see it for a longer time live a miserable life.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru held a meeting at the Imperial Palace, and the ministers couldn't come up with an idea, so she was so angry that she sat on top of the house and started ruthlessly, but there was nothing she could do.

The reason for this meeting was the passing of Rokkaku.

The Kyogoku family, one of the four positions of the Rokkaku family and the shogunate, originated from the Sasaki clan and was a powerful samurai family that had been divided into Omi Province since the Ritsuryo era when the emperor and the princess were in power.

Since ancient times, the Omi Province has been one of the most important components of the Omi Province, and the Sasaki clan has been in the Omi Province for more than 600 years, and its influence has been feared by successive Ashikaga shoguns.

Then the Sasaki clan was divided into two branches, the North Omi Kyogoku family and the South Omi Rokkaku family, and the Ashikaga family co-opted the Kyogoku family, using her family as the starting point, and constantly suppressed the Rokkaku family who did not yield to the shogun.

The funny thing is that the ups and downs of the Rokkaku family still rule Minami Omi, while the Ashikaga family, which was strong and domineering at the beginning, is already in turmoil.

In order to resist the invasion of the Miyoshi family, the twelfth general Ashikaga Yoshiharu reluctantly took over the olive branch of the Rokkaku family governor Rokkaku Dinglai.

Only then did they block the offensive of the Miyoshi family, and the Rokkaku family also changed from a rebellious samurai who did not obey the king, to become the most important ally of the Ashikaga family.

Even Ashikaga Yoshiki's Yuan Costume is also a black hat made by Hexagonal Dinglai.

Eboshi is a fairly close relationship within the samurai family. Sipo Yiyin presided over the Yuan costume for the Takata sisters, and the three of them were black hat relatives.

It can be said that Rokkaku Seori is the biggest support for Ashikaga Yoshiteru to sit firmly in Kyoto. And as soon as she died, the situation became confusing.

The Hexagons are not without enemies. The three positions of the shogunate had all declined, and Kita-Omi, ruled by one of the four positions, the Kyogoku family, was usurped by the retainer Asai family, almost the same as what happened to the Spo family in Owari Province.

The Asai family, who replaced the Kyogoku family, also inherited the ambitions of the Kyogoku family, hoping to kill the Rokkaku family and unify Omi Province.

There is a shallow well threat inside the Rokkaku house, and there is a peep at the Miyoshi family outside. If it is an ordinary person, it is definitely necessary to choose one of them first.

But the hexagonal approach is that the old lady is all blown up! The Miyoshi family signed an armistice treaty, and the Asai family bowed their heads to be attached.

With her help, the Ashikaga family stabilized the situation, although the armistice treaty was signed with some unequal elements. But at least the general's face is saved, and he doesn't have to escape from Kyoto to wander around.

Now that the hexagonal setting is dead, this fragile balance has been broken once again. The Ashikaga family is weak, and in the name of the co-ruler of the world, how should they deal with the next situation?

It's not that there are no talented people among the shoguns. It's just that this is a troubled world where you are strong and you are reasonable, and you are weak and you are weak. It is difficult for a clever man to cook without rice, so he can't do anything about it.

Just as the next few days were about to fall into a new war, Yoshiyin and Profit were also heading for Kyoto in Owari.

The north wind is still there, and the early spring has not reached the third point of cold, and it is really not a comfortable errand to ride a horse at this time. Although he was well prepared, he also froze Yiyin enough.

The ears and nose that were wrapped around were always pierced by the cold wind that leaked in, and the horse's body was jolting and falling apart after a day.

After a few days, Yiyin had doubts about the correctness of this trip. No wonder ancient people didn't like to travel far, and the journey without a car, high-speed rail, and airplanes was really a torture.

The interests on the side are different, full of energy, shouting, seeing everything fresh, like a child in the third grade of primary school on a spring outing.

Maybe he has never been far away, but this time he is running away alone with his favorite lord, and his heart is full of interests.

But after walking for a day, I felt that the road was a little strange, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Lord, are we going to Haidong County?"

"That's right."

The interest asked puzzled.

"Isn't it faster to go north to Mino to Kyoto and get closer to the river?"

Although she has not walked this road, the map in the martial arts strategy is also an important lesson, and she understands it.

Yiyin said helplessly.

"I don't want to, but the news of my rescue of Li Jiaji has spread too widely, and I'm afraid we will have to take a long detour."

The road was uncomfortably bumpy, and some Xuanyi Yin also wanted to take a shortcut. However, the news that he went to Beijing to seek protection for Oda Nobunaga should have spread among the samurai.

If you want to go to Omi to Omi, you must pass through the four counties of Kamiowari. The current Ueoda family governor Nobuyan is just mediocre and not a fool.

You have done a good job of protecting the generation, and you are the evil seed of the Spo family who wants to take it back and send it to Oda Nobunaga?

The families stared at me along the way, and when I saw it, I raised my knife and fell with my hands, so I didn't have to worry about it.

Even if the samurai families of Owari are inextricably linked to each other, Yoshiin can find a way to get through. How did Minong pass smoothly?

Rumors that Isshiki Yoshiryu and Oda Nobuyasu were preparing to unite against Oda Nobunaga had already spread before Yoshiyin set off.

It may not be without a cause. It is believed that Isshiki Yoshiryu will be happy to detain Yoshin or cut off his head and send it back to Owari.

Yoshigin, who still has some heels in Owari, is not so good when he arrives in Mino.

Therefore, it was Yoshigin's idea to make a high-profile announcement to take the Mino Omi line, to make a low-key detour east through Isekuni with interests, and then to go north into Iga or Omi into Beijing.

Ise Province and Iga Province are originally one country, the eastern plain of Ise is bordered by the sea to the south, the western part and the north are mountainous, and the Iga Omi is connected to the north, and there is a relatively flat road to the south into the basin of Yamato Province.

Although the mountain road is difficult to walk, it is safe.

It is best known for its port seafood and forged swords. Yiyin was still wondering if he should buy two good knives.

Ancient Ise is the birthplace of Shintoism, and the Ise Jingu is revered, and the emperor has a close connection with the shrine.

After the destruction of the Emperor by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the shrine fell and became a base for merchants and travelers.

Yoshiin rode through Kaito County and entered Ise Province after three days on horseback. This night, I found a dilapidated shrine nearby and settled down.

Shinto has been in decline for a hundred years, and it is Buddhism that is now flourishing in Japan. However, the torii gate and the main hall built back then are still majestic, independent of the world, silently watching the world.

Stay for one night and simply light a fire to keep warm. The cold wind galloped in the temple in all directions, no different from the wilderness.

Not daring to let down their vigilance, the two split up and down the vigil. The interests slept first, and Yiyin took a thick branch to pick up the dead branches under the fire, so that the bonfire would not be annihilated.

Just when I was bored, the wind in the temple was strong, and my eyes were blown away. Only closed and opened for a moment, and a person sat in front of the sleeping interest opposite.

Yiyin nervously stood up, grasped the hilt of his knife and drew it.

"What people!"

The man wore a robe with a head wrap and a tunic monk's robe, and his face was invisible, only a pair of eyes were exposed.

A pair of peach blossom eyes, looking at Yiyin watery. The hand gently caressed the neck of the interest, and the fingertips clamped an inch of sharp iron plate, making Yiyin's hair stand upside down.

Yiyin asked sharply if she didn't wake up, she was still asleep, something was wrong.

"You're Spoo Silver?"

"It's me."

The voice of the comer was crisp, it was a woman. Looking at the iron piece around the neck of the interest, Yiyin said in a low voice.

"Can you let go of my partner first, everything can be discussed."

The visitor's eyes were slightly bent, as if he was smiling.

"Then you sleep with me."

"Okay."
