Chapter 103: Kyoto Rebellion
Kyoto
Nijo-jo Castle
This is the center of Kyoto, Japan, and most of the high-level officials are concentrated here.
The Shogunate's Palace
This is a place for the ruling class to discuss politics and military policy
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that our capital is about to be attacked by an evil monster, what can you do?"
A middle-aged official sat on a cushion and said, his eyes scanning the dozen or so other high-ranking rulers around him.
"Didn't we already send someone to call the Abe family? The strength of these onmyoji should not be underestimated, I don't think there is any need to worry about it, that monster is estimated to be a small worm. ”
A short male official with a mustache replied lightly.
This made the middle-aged official who spoke just now a little dissatisfied, so he retorted:
"Minister Tanaka, I said that you are a little wrong, now we are facing an unknown demon, you let those onmyoji of the Abe family solve it, isn't this going to die?"
Minister Tanaka is also the short official, he is the right minister of the Taizheng Minister, and he belongs to the same column of the Taizheng Minister as the Left Minister Ito, who refuted him just now.
The classification of official positions in Japan's Warring States period was very complicated, similar to that of the Song Dynasty in China.
Its bureaucratic system is a system of laws and decrees, and its central bureaucratic system is based on two officials and eight provinces.
In fact, this basic system follows the three-province and six-ministry system from the Tang Dynasty in China, which was imitated and borrowed from the Tang system after the Japanese envoys came to China to study and returned to China.
Although the left and right ministers held real political power, it was the shogun of the shogunate who had the greatest influence, and the power of the emperor had long been hollowed out.
Although the right and left ministers are in control of the president's cabinet, and their status is second only to the left minister, these two are also factional, and they are both fighting openly and secretly in order to gain the trust of the shogun.
No, as soon as Minister Ito's rebuttal came out just now, he was immediately hit back by Tanaka.
"Sent to death? Ito, you're talking too much, I think the strength of those onmyoji is still good, not as unbearable as you think, otherwise who helped you solve the ghost boy incident you encountered in the first two times? Don't you Ito trust those onmyoji, or do you not take the Abe family seriously? ”
Tanaka sneered disdainfully.
"You...... This is the place where His Majesty the Emperor lives, so what if the Emperor's safety is endangered? ”
Tanaka's face turned a little red.
Ito looked at him even more coldly after hearing this.
Still holding the emperor as your shield?
Is this Tanaka stupid?
Is the Abe family something you can afford to mess with? Even the general's background is implicated in it.
He himself is a general, for a person like him, he will follow that person who holds great power, and for those puppets who have no power, he does not dare to pin his wealth on them.
Unlike this old antique that only plays the emperor's signboard now, if it weren't for the fact that he still holds some of the power and the emperor's residual influence, it is estimated that this Tanaka would have been cleaned up long ago!
"Enough!"
A square-faced samurai at the top of the center stopped the two men from arguing.
"Yes! General! ”
After listening to the general's words, the two stopped arguing.
The general has long been accustomed to the quarrels between these two old goods, and he usually turns a blind eye to the two of them.
But now it's different, now that his ruling center is about to be invaded by a demon, I don't want to listen to the two of them buzzing like flies, and the most important thing now is to come up with a good countermeasure.
"Now is not the time for you to argue, now the demons are coming, I have informed the people of the Abe family to be ready for battle, but the rest is that those fugitives are in some trouble, most of the civilians have poured into the city, causing a lot of problems, now I order to notify you, close the city gates, and prohibit those refugees from entering the city, but those who join the armor can make an exception to enter the city, and the others will rush to the outer areas."
"Yes General!"
For the orders of the generals and bosses, everyone had to obey them.
After the order was given, the meeting was dissolved, and the officials went about their tasks.
Soon after, the lower-level officials in Kyoto, after receiving orders from above, directly sent troops to close the city gate and collect those refugees who were interested in joining the army.
There were also a lot of white-clothed onmyoji in the city, and they looked very hurried and nervous, because now they were about to arrange spells to defend against the attack of demons.
……
"Hehe~ These human reptiles are really interesting, look at their panicked looks."
"yes, are these humans really stupid enough to think that this little bit of strength can stop us?"
"And sent the Onmyoji of the Abe family? Hum! Do you really think we're vegetarians? ”
Not far outside the city, three figures appeared, looking in the direction of Kyoto, their eyes flashing red.
Their appearance is also good, one of them is a very evil man, he is one of the Japanese monsters of the wine swallowing boy, next to a five big and three thick man is a soil spider, and the other is Naraku.
As for why Naraku is here, I'll briefly say it here.
Originally, he was going to threaten Kikyo, but on the way, two very powerful boys came to intervene and attacked with a formation, so that he was almost destroyed.
But fortunately, the fox character of Inaluo also has his own means, so he just took advantage of the gap to escape.
After he came out of the battle, he temporarily received the divine consciousness of Jiuying, and asked him to seduce a few big demons hidden in the island country to attack Kyoto and slaughter all the creatures inside.
Jiu Ying also told him the reason, he wanted to refine the blood of these creatures into a magic circle, so that he could deal with the three old men on the East China Sea Immortal Island.
"Alright, let's do it! Otherwise, it will not be good to miss the matter of the Nine Infant Adults. ”
Naraku said.
The other two demons nodded, although they were a little unhappy, but they had heard of the nine infants, at first Naluo came to them to do something, they were all disdainful, and then Naraku released a projection of the nine infants, and they gave in.
The three of them slowly walked towards the city gate, their faces covered in blood and sinister exposure.
They used their tactics to unleash the ghosts and kill the refugees who were still lingering outside the city.
For a while, screams rang out and blood splattered......
Penglai Fairy Island
The three immortals suddenly stepped out of the cave in unison, looking up at the sky, the clouds and blood vines in the distance, and the evil qi was rolling.
"He's already here."
"In that case, let's prepare for battle."
"Alas~ This has to be the case, otherwise more people will be murdered."
"Yes, we have been guarding here for more than a thousand years, in order to guard the East Formation Gate of the Huaxia Dragon Vein Demon Suppression Array, he can't enter the other three Formation Gates, and the last time I attacked was to destroy this East Formation Gate."
"We must not let this demon succeed, otherwise not only the monster, but also those things in the underworld will probably come out to make trouble!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them left the place and flew in the direction of the blood cloud.
