The Ashikaga Shogunate was founded in the Heian and Kamakura periods, and at the end of the Kamakura Shogunate, the head of the clan, the Ashikaga clan, established the Muromachi Shogunate after decades of campaigns, and the head of the Ashikaga clan began to serve as the shogun of the Seiyi Shogunate for generations, becoming the de facto ruler of Japan.

After the Onin War, the authority of the Muromachi shogunate plummeted, and the Ashikaga clan gradually declined, but the family has continued to this day, and there have been thirteen generations so far, and the contemporary head of the family is Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the 13th generation of the Japanese Muromachi shogunate, and at the same time Kashima Shindangliu swordsman, nicknamed "Kenki General".

Although the strength is far less than before, it is still a large force in the Warring States.

Today, Kanosuke Yamanaka, who is fighting to revive the Niko family, which was destroyed by the Mori Moto, is still running around looking for allies in order to revive the Niko family.

The Ashikaga family, whose strength is lonely but also extraordinary, naturally fell into her eyes.

In the Ashikaga Shogun's Palace, Yamanaka Kanosuke, who had paid a huge price to find someone to introduce him, hurried from 'China' (the name of a provincial capital in Japan during the Warring States period, don't get me wrong), and met with Ashikaga Yoshiki to discuss a joint attack on the Mori family.

"You're Ashikaga Yoshiteru-sama, aren't you? As you can see this time, I am really grateful for what has been achieved. Yamanaka Kanosuke made a very formal earthen seat towards the other party, for her with the dignity of a samurai, it was very shameful for her to do such things to someone who was not her own monarch, but as long as she thought that she could help the revival of the Niko family, she didn't pay so much attention to it, and Yamanaka Kanosuke, who had officially met with the other party for the first time, was still a little nervous.

"Well, I remember your name is ......" Ashikaga Yoshiteru asked with a look of embarrassment, a little embarrassed.

"Yamanaka Kanosuke. A loyal servant of the Nizi family. Yamanaka Kanosuke replied seriously, even if the country was ruined and reduced to a ronin, she was not willing to abandon this title.

"Oh oh, I remember, it turned out to be the Kanosuke of the Niko family, I'm very sorry, I just came back, I can't remember too many names, I don't know what happened today?" Ashikaga Yoshiki nodded in realization, and a smile bloomed on his face, but there was pity in his heart.

Whether it is a heavy minister or not, just because Yamanaka Shikanosuke is a girl, but he can still run around for the revival of a country that has long since disappeared, it is enough to make people admire, and sigh that women do not let their eyebrows go.

However, at the same time of admiration, it is also a pity, because of such loyalty, so the girl's remaining fate is only as sad as a thorn bird.

Because this is the Warring States, but the girl Kanosuke refused even to be the Ashikaga shogunate for the sake of her ethereal loyalty and dreams.

Except for fools, who will make another move for this kind of guy who can't bring any benefits to himself, the so-called former alliances and feelings are just idle chatter after tea.

"Our retainers of the Niko family are looking for a country that can help us in order to revive the Niko family, Yoshiki-sama, please......"

Pretending not to hear the other party's euphemistic refusal, Yamanaka Kanosuke gritted his teeth, buried his head in the ground again without hesitating to lose his face, and shouted in a low voice: "Please attack the Maori country and help us review the Niko family." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiki smiled lonely, but refused without hesitation.

"I refuse."

"Why?" Yamanaka Kanosuke asked unwillingly.

"You know the reason, right......" Ashikaga Yoshiteru looked embarrassed, not wanting to make the other party ugly by saying it so clearly.

The Maori family was originally just a small wealthy family in the Aki Kingdom, but in the hands of the first wise general of the Warring States period, Mori Motosho, in just half a year (this is the year of Shinanori, not orthodox history), they successfully eliminated the two strong enemies of Ouchi and Niko, and rose in an instant, almost unifying all of Japan's western regions and becoming a hegemon.

Yamanaka Kanosuke and the courtiers of the Ouchi family can only submit to the Mori family, or, like her, choose to flee and become non-ronin samurai to fight for their own rise.

And the Ashikaga family is a general of the expedition, and he is in a high position, but if he easily fights with the other party, the two tigers will tear each other, and one will be disabled, and it will be difficult to even maintain his position and status.

Besides, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has just returned to Kyoto from exile, and he has been in exile twice before, so he has no prestige or anything, and he can't make the big deal of confronting Maori at all.

Yamanaka Shikanosuke looked bitter, as a warring with the Maori family, she naturally understood what the other party meant, it was that flawless tactics that could defeat the once powerful Niko family to the powerless, and because of this, countless daimyo and generals did not dare to agree to their proposal to attack the Maori family.

But even if he knew this, Yamanaka Kanosuke was still very unwilling and painful to calm his head, and resolutely said in a deep voice: "Please, Yoshiki-sama, no matter what, please be sure to help, even if you don't send troops immediately, it doesn't matter, please be merciful......"

In the face of the girl's heart-rending plea, Ashikaga Yoshiki just sighed lightly and excused himself: "There is really no way, now all my thoughts are thinking about how to deal with the affairs of the Takeda family and the Imagawa family, and I have no energy to care about the revival of your Niko family, I am very sorry, the Ashikaga family cannot be your dependence." ”

Ashikaga Yoshiteru said very sincerely, but he didn't even mean to apologize, standing in the face of the Ashikaga Shogun's Palace, he couldn't let out any empty words, and he had to maintain his own majesty.

Yamanaka Kanosuke also knew that his power was weak now, and he couldn't enter the eyes of these daimyos, if it was the past, why would the Nizi family bow to others like this and swallow the stinging bones in his throat.

Shikanosuke slowly straightened his waist, took a deep breath, and said in a low and sincere voice: "I'm sorry, for the help the Ashikaga family has given us so far, our Niko family will remember it, and we will have the opportunity to report it again in the future." ”

"Stand down." Ashikaga Yoshiki was also very unbearable in his heart, but his position did not allow him to show these things, and several generals who were sitting in the hall also sighed, but no one stood up to intercede for this girl.

"yes, excuse me, I'll come again."

Kanosuke Yamanaka, who did not get any help, had to withdraw gloomily and leave the Ashikaga Shogun's Mansion.

At the same time, Dialect and his party arrive at the Viper Oil Field, a territory ruled by the Ashikaga clan, and not far from the city, Himiko is sitting in the suburbs to rest, while Dialect and Bee Suka Goemon are constantly patrolling the neighborhood in search of their targets.

In the final analysis, the strength of the dialect quartet at the moment is not enough, and the only thing they can do now is to enlist the help of some neutral forces, and the first to be looked at by dialects is none other than the members of the Nizi family who were defeated by the Maori family.

As soon as Kanosuke Yamanaka walked out of Ashikaga Mansion with a gloomy face, he was discovered by the Wasuka Goemon hidden in a dark corner, and in an instant, her figure flashed and disappeared in place.

At the same time, the dialect crouching outside the city hid in a tuft of grass and stared at the city gates.

As for why you let Wasuka Goemon go in, instead of going in to prevent mistakes, it's because the Supreme Game System has set up a setting where contestants entering and leaving other castles will be easily discovered, and they will definitely be found in order to increase the difficulty of the game. Besides, it's better to leave it to the ninjas to complete the investigation, after all, this is what they are good at, and make the best use of it.

While waiting, observing, and thinking, the calm trees above the dialect grass let out an irregular tremor.

Fang Yan quickly raised his head, only to see a petite figure appear on it, it was the Lori ninja, she held the trunk of the tree next to her to balance her body, and said, "Captain Fang Yan, I found someone!" ”

"Sure? Where is it? Fang Yan's face was happy, this time he was lucky and finally made the right bet, he didn't dare to guarantee the grasp of the time, but he didn't expect to guess the side plot of 'Ashikaga Kamifu'.

"There is a girl who has just come out of the Ashikaga General's Mansion, with an extraordinary aura and a three-day moon deer helmet on her head, which should be the Yamanaka Kanosuke you said." Wasuka Goemon nodded.

"Okay, now let's wait until the other party is out of town." The dialect nodded in response and commanded.

"Why don't you go into the city to find her?" Wasuka Goemon was puzzled.

Breaking through the three crosses, I thought you had a good habit of eating screws, Fang Yan shook his head with black lines and explained: "That guy is running around for the Nizi family, and the schedule is very full, so he won't stay in the same place for too long, so just wait outside." ”

"I see, I deserve to be the captain of the dialect, and I can even see this." Wasuka Goemon exclaimed.

"You're too small, too cute, and too stupid, right?" The dialect was speechless in my heart.

Soon, in the conversation between the two of them, Yamanaka Kanosuke appeared at the city gate, and after talking a few words with the ashigaru guard at the city gate, he continued to embark on his journey that was still difficult.

It has been determined that the Ashikaga family will not help themselves, and after excluding several big names, where should I go now?

Yamanaka Kanosuke trampled on the dry and hard soil road, his heart was numb, but he didn't want to give up at all, because he had already sworn to his family heirloom Three Sun Moon Deer Helmet that he would rather suffer all the hardships and hardships than revive the Niko family!
