"Speaking of Izumo Province, it seems that the most famous wandering girl of this era, Ah Kuni, is a native of Izumo Province." After two days of traveling, Ah Li, who had successfully arrived in Izumo Province, looked at the streets outside that were not bustling because of the war, and turned his head to Qin Heqing as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Ah Guo?" Qin Heqing thought about it, as if he had indeed heard of this name, but he couldn't remember exactly where he heard it and why he heard it.

"Wandering girl? Are you sure it's a wandering girl, not a shrine maiden? Yue'er took over with a somewhat strange expression.

"Although I have also heard that Ah Kuni was a shrine maiden in Izumo Taisha in Izumo Province before he became a well-known wandering girl, I always thought that it was just a name for the wandering girls to make their status noble, am I mistaken?" Ah Li wondered.

"By the way, what kind of profession is a wandering girl?" Qin Heqing said confusedly.

"Wandering girl is not a profession, but a specific title, the earliest time it was specifically used to refer to the shrine maidens who went out, but later, that is, after the Azuchi Momoyama period, before the beginning of Edo, it gradually became an exclusive term for female branch maidens, but now you have also seen the situation in this time and space, the timeline is confused, historical changes, and I don't know if this word is now used to refer to shrine maidens, or to refer to those special practitioners." Yue'er explained for Qin and Qing.

The Azuchi-Momoyama period was a specific era formed in history because there was no unified relationship between the shogun and the shogunate, and in the normal course of history, this era should be pushed back another twenty or thirty years before it began, but it is placed in this time and space......

Edo, on the other hand, refers to the Edo period, which followed the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, which lasted until the Meiji Restoration, and was the last period of the island's existence before entering the modern era.

In addition, both of them belong to the things to be learned in the history class of high school students in the island country, so even if they are not directly pointed out, Qin Heqing also understands the meaning of Yue'er's words and understands the situation of the wandering girl.

"Do you want to see Ah Guo?" Qin Heqing nodded, looked at Ah Li, who had an inexplicable look on his face, and asked as if what nonsense were you talking about.

"The main thing is to see the dance she created.,It's said that because of the addition of the chanting of the Buddha.,The dance style is very unique.,I didn't have a chance to live with Leju before.,But now that Izumo has come.,,Of course, there's no reason to let it go.。 Ah Li replied.

"Okay, when we find a foothold and meet the ninja here, ask him if he knows anything about Ah Guo, and then go to Ah Guo to watch her dance." Qin Heqing thought about it, but did not refuse, nodded and agreed.

"Okay."

Then the group quickly came to the city, found the relevant answering personnel, and stopped in a formation house in the city.

……

"Your Excellency." After settling down, the Iga ninja who had been sent here immediately approached Qin Heqing and greeted him.

"Get up. Tell me more about what you've been looking for. Qin Heqing stretched out his hand and held up the female ninja in front of him, looked at the other party and asked.

"Yes." Immediately, the female ninja did not hesitate and told the information she had investigated about the Niko family.

"According to the investigation, the current guardian of Izumo Province is Yoshihisa Niko of the Niko family. He is the eldest son of the former governor of the Nizi family, Niko Haruhisa, who is twenty-five years old this year, male, with a rigid personality, and suspicious and reckless, so soon after succeeding to the governor, he killed the retainer Uyama Kukan because of rumors, causing the retainers to be separated from him, causing turmoil in the Nizi family, and many people rebelled angrily because of this, and took refuge in the Maori clan of the Anyun country, and the entire Nizi family was in danger......"

"The current general of the family is Akaxue Mitsukiyo, Ushio Kokiyo, Onishi clan, Kumano Hisa family, Kamisai Saburo Saemon and others, there are no female Ji military generals, but among the close attendants, there is a young Ji military general named Yamanaka Yukimori, who is quite valued by Niko Yoshihisa, and has a posture of leaning on his arm, if you have an idea about Izumo country, you can start from here."

"Tell me about this Yukimori Yamanaka." Qin Heqing nodded, and asked again.

"Yamanaka Yukimori, his young name is Shijiro, his father is an important minister of the Niko clan, Yamanaka is lucky, deceased. 16 years old, there is a brother on it, but since childhood frail and sickly, so the position of the governor of the family was handed over to the mountain in the form of his brother's voluntary succession, brave and resolute, it is said that in childhood, because of the humiliation of the elder brother and the knife killing, quite bloody. ”

"And in the recent battle against the wealthy clan of the Boqi Kingdom, Xingsong Zhengsheng, he became famous for killing the famous mountain general Kikuchi Yin Yamasao, and his reputation resounded throughout Shanyin and Shanyang."

After that, there were some messy and plausible anecdotes, I don't know if it was rumors or gossip, and the female ninja told Qin Heqing one by one regardless of whether it was true or not, so that he could fully understand this lucky person in the mountains.

"Is it 16 years old...... It's not that you can't touch it. Qin Heqing groaned.

After all, his bottom line is 16 years old, so he doesn't mind if the character who happens to be stuck at the age of 16 is not too special - such as ugly appearance, rotten person, not necessary or too young, and it looks too far from his actual age.

In a more self-deceptive phrase, everything is for the world!

After a pause, Qin Heqing looked at the female ninja again and asked, "By the way, how much do you know about the character of Ah Guo?" ”

"Are you talking about the country of the wandering girl who created the dance?" The female ninja was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so she took the lead in asking a rhetorical question before answering.

"Yes. She's a wandering girl? Qin Heqing was surprised.

"Yes."

"Do you mean a witch or a female branch girl?" Qin Heqing asked.

This also makes it easier for him to understand the attributes of the characters when he hears similar words in the future.

"Miko Maiden." The female shinobi replied.

"Oh, go on." Qin He cleared up, gave up the question, and waited for the introduction of the female ninja.

"Yes." Immediately, the female ninja didn't talk nonsense, and simply told what she knew about the situation of Ah Guo.

It's similar to the legend in the streets and alleys, Ah Kuni is indeed a famous dancer, but unlike ordinary secular dancers, the reason why Ah Kuni became a dancer is entirely because of the needs of Izumo Taisha - in order to raise money for the repair of Izumo Taisha, the priests of Izumo Taisha arranged for some shrine maidens, including Ah Kuni, to tour the country to raise money from the people and nobles, but they didn't want to be smart and keen in the process, Ah Kuni became famous in one fell swoop, and became a famous dancer in the entire Izumo country and even the surrounding area, Sought after by all.

Originally, this should be a good thing, but who called Ah Guo a shrine maiden, too famous, at least too famous, so soon after the end of the national tour, Ah Guo resigned from the role of a shrine maiden, turned into an ordinary person and returned to society, and then became a full-fledged dancer and began to tour the whole country (the whole island country) and promote the tilt dance she pioneered.

This is the source of Izumo Akoku's fame that resounded throughout the country.
