By the time the Noto Hatakeyama family reached the generation of Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, like many guardian daimyo, they had lost control of their territory.

The important ministers You Zuo Xuguang and Wenjing Zongzhen seized the rights of the family, and she, the governor of the family, could only control the seven tails of the city.

The two powerful ministers fought, and Wenjing Zongzhen united the six retainers to form the Hatakeyama Seven to comment on housekeeping, and excluded Yu Zuo Xuguang from the decision-making power, which can be regarded as getting the power of the family.

And Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, the family governor, was a spectator from beginning to end, and no one took her seriously.

Now that the governor of the Spo family, Yoshiyin, sent an envoy to Echigo, and was blocked in Echichu and begged the ship to go to Echigo to summon reinforcements, he did not forget to mention it when it was so urgent.

Sea trade between Tsuruga Port, Nanao Port and Kasuga Yama Castle.

This made her think that this envoy went to Kanto, I'm afraid it wasn't so simple.

So, can the Notoyama family profit from this? Can she, the puppet governor, use this matter to regain the power of her family?

Mr. Onkai left the castle tower in a rage, his eyes full of fear.

It was not easy for her to gain power in the family, and in order to win over the retainers, she paid a lot of benefits in exchange to kick You Zuo Xuguang away.

Now, the family governor clearly has something to hide from her, but she can't figure out what the problem is?

Although he is already the head of the pen family of Notoyama and controls the housework, Nanao Castle is still under the control of the main family.

The Noto Peninsula is hilly and precipitous, and although it faces the sea on three sides, the only good port is Nanao Bay, where Nanao Castle is located.

Since ancient times, Nanao Bay has been engaged in maritime trade with the area around the Bohai Province, and it is the richest area in Noto.

She was bent on taking control of Nanao Castle from Hatakeyama Yoshitsuna, but because the governor was cautious, she didn't have a chance.

At this time, Wen Jing Zongzhen secretly made up his mind to take this place with both soft and hard measures.

———

Echizen, Tsuruga Castle Castle Tower.

Asakura Sodrip looked at the immature girl in front of him who was covered in mud, looked tired but had sharp eyes.

The child, who was only a few years old, had already come out of the battle, and she thought distressedly.

The older you get, the more you like children, and the younger ones look pleasing to the eye, and those old and cunning martial artists are disgusting.

She asked casually as she thought about something.

"Because Qian Xingong is in danger in Vietnam, he sent you back to ask for help? And you, in less than two days, ran 250 miles?

What about horses? Oh, surely dead, you're all half dead.

I'll send an urgent message to Kyoto, so you can recuperate in Tsuruga and recuperate. ”

When Asakura Zongdi saw this child, he understood Sipo Yiyin's thoughts, and he also had empathy.

Qianxin's character is indeed good, and it is a pity that such a young child died on the battlefield early.

But her kindness, the Gamo clan did not appreciate it, and bowed to the ground.

"Dare to ask Zong Digong, can you let the messenger take me back to Beijing together."

Asakura looked at her with interest and said.

"Sixty miles of fast horses arrived at the north shore of the Biwa Lake, and the mountain road was rugged and immediately bumpy.

Then it departed for Kyoto, which was also a fast boat with wind and manpower at the same time.

Do you still have the strength to follow? Not afraid of sudden death in the middle of the road? ”

Gamo insisted on the road.

"I implore Zongdi Gong to make it convenient."

Asakura Keiki, who was accompanying him on the side, couldn't look past it and interjected.

"My mother is well-intentioned, and your child is too uninteresting.

Are we going to trick you into not sending a messenger to Kyoto? ”

The Gamo clan really had this worry in their hearts, but they couldn't say it.

What about the Asakura family and the Spo family, which samurai doesn't know?

Although Asakura Munetsu has a friendly attitude towards Spo Yoshigin, it is always right to know that people know their faces but do not know their hearts, and it is always right to take things into their own hands.

She replied respectfully.

"The minister didn't dare.

I used to serve the lord at the Spo Mansion in Kyoto, and now I am known to Mitsuhide Akechi in Kyoto.

With me by my side, there will be fewer obstacles and explanations, and I will be able to support the lord sooner. ”

Asakura Keiki wanted to say more, but was stopped by his mother.

Asakura said with a smile to the Gamo clan.

"You are kings and ministers.

Before entering the house, you said your surname was Gamu? Minami Omi Gamo house? Who are you? ”

"It's my mother."

"Your family has served the Rokkaku family for generations, and you work so hard for the Spo family, but you have forgotten your mother's embarrassment in the wild field?"

Chaocang Zongdi teased, but saw that the Gamo clan looked solemn, and his waist, which was already too tired to stand up, stood up.

"Zong Digong's words are wrong."

"Bold!"

Asakura Jingji scolded, and was suppressed by Asakura Zongdi by raising his hand.

"Interesting, your little girl's milk stinks and hasn't dried up, what truth can you have, let's talk about my products."

The Gamo clan sat in a kneeling posture and said sharply.

"The samurai are the masters, the monarch chooses the minister, and the minister chooses the king.

His Royal Highness Spoo does things above board, and his rewards are fair and just. Be righteous and merciful.

The lord once said, Ji does not live up to me, I do not live up to Ji.

His Royal Highness treats me like a mountain, and I should repay him with death, this is the righteousness of the martial arts! ”

The words were reasonable and measured, and they were loud, and they made Chaocang Zongdi lose his mind for a while.

After a while, he sighed.

"Qianxingong, it's so lucky to have such a subordinate."

Gamo clan bowed.

"It's my luck to meet the Lord."

Chaocang Zongdi smiled dumbly and shook his head, this kid is powerful, and his future is limitless.

She said softly.

"Then you can set off with the messenger, Jingji, and take her down to make arrangements."

Gamo asked a question.

"Zong Di Gong, you ask you to help."

Asakura Zongdi was no longer interested in talking, and waved her hand to let her go down.

Halfway through the Gamo clan's words, he wanted to say it, but he was afraid of angering him, so he hesitated, gritted his teeth and bowed, and followed Asakura Jingji to retreat.

Asakura Zongdi's face was expressionless, and his index finger and thumb rubbed unconsciously, until Asakura Keiki came back, he was still in this posture.

Asakura Keiki said respectfully.

"Mother, I have arranged for them to go."

"Yes, that's good. Jing Ji, I'm going north to Chenggu City and meet the governor. ”

"Mother, spring ploughing has begun, it's not appropriate to leave the territory at this time, right?"

"Isn't that you're watching?

I will tell the governor that Kaga has always been in a strange position, and he is trying to set off the same thing again.

For the sake of Echizen's stability, I will lead the troops on the Northern Expedition, mobilize the army after spring ploughing, strike first, and let those nuns not come to Echizen to cause trouble. ”

Asakura Jingji was stunned when he heard this, isn't this just following Sibo Yiyin's request to contain Yixiangzong and reduce the pressure in the direction of Yuezhong?

"Are you responding to a request from the Humble Prince? Is it worth it?

The governor is already jealous of you, if you go north to seize military power, I am afraid that I will hate you even more, mother, be cautious! ”

Asakura Zongdi was so doted that she reached out and touched Asakura Jingji's head, she was a little repulsed, but she still held back and let her mother touch it.

But he said unwillingly.

"Mother! I'm already an adult! Don't touch your head anymore! ”

Asakura Zongdi was stunned, nodded, put his hand down, patted her shoulder, and said in a trance.

"Yes, my Jingji has grown up, and I'm old too."

"Mother."

"I know my body won't last long.

has been in the family for decades, serving five generations of family governors, and serving as three generations of military commissioners, what else can not be let go.

The sun rises in the east, the sun sets, and the ups and downs of the samurai family are common, I can see it, why bother to ask for the favor of the Sibo family. ”

She said that Asakura Keiki became more and more confused, and couldn't help laughing at herself.

"What will happen to the Tsuruga Asakura family after my death? I don't care.

The only thing I can't let go of is you.

Jing Ji, Jing Ji, my good boy, what will you do when I die. ”

Asakura Jingji's eyes turned red and said.

"I'll be fine, don't worry."

Chao Cangzong sneered and looked into the distance, which was the direction of Yicheng Valley City.

"I'm not at ease.

Before I'm dead, she's turned you away. When I die, where will you live?

Jing Ji, you are too naïve. In this world, cannibalism. Let Mother, I, do one last thing for you. ”

Asakura Zongdi's eyes grew cold, and they were full of disdain.

Asakura Yoshikage, you just stuffed the mirror into Ono Asakura's house, and you were so proud.

Who do you think you are? Who do you think I am?

The Asakura family, the Toba Asakura family, and the Beizhuang Asakura family, where are they not contacting me behind my back, and which ones are not begging me to come forward and say a fair word.

I didn't pay attention to it, I've been patient, but how can you do this to my Jingji!

The tiger is not powerful, I really have no temper!

The Oyezhong controlled by Asakura Jingjing? Hehe, Tsuruga hasn't been out for many years, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll be forgotten.

Forget me, Echizen military god Asakura Sodrus.
