Koyasan is a group of mountains that are home to the Shingon Tantra of the Ox Ear of the Ruling Wa Kingdom. The Kongofeng Temple on the top of the mountain is a holy place in the minds of every Shingon Tantric believer.

When Li Xiao went up the mountain, he found that the huge Koya Mountain was sparsely populated, and only a few monks wearing brown monk robes and yellow hats walked slowly at the foot of Koya Mountain.

Reminiscent of the inspection of the tie in later generations, the streets and roads were always closed. Li Xiao understood in his heart that it must be Tokugawa Ieyasu who was afraid of his accident and sent someone to clean the mountain in advance. Unexpectedly, he has now become a big man in key protection.

Glancing back at his guard company, the team of more than 100 people was carrying a long-barreled firecracker. There is also a short-barreled firearm pinned to his waist, and this equipment can be called luxurious in this era.

In the distance, monks held heavy vajra pestles, and without exception, they walked barefoot and wore straw sandals between the mountains and forests.

The length of the vajra in the hands of these monks is amazing, about 1.6 meters high, and a brass ring hangs on the vajra, and every time the monk takes a step, the copper ring on the vajra will make a steady crisp sound, and the sound echoes in the empty and secluded Koya Mountain, which is particularly ethereal and mysterious.

In the two lifetimes combined, it is also the first time to enjoy this kind of state guest treatment. Li Xiao took the guard company and went straight up the mountain under the leadership of Konishi Nagamasa.

Along the way, Konishi Nagamasa kept introducing the scenery of Koyasan, even though it was already summer. But as the altitude increases, so does the temperature. It was very comfortable to walk.

While most hot springs are valleys, the hot springs in Koyasan are different. The hot springs here are located slightly below the top of the mountain, so you can soak in the hot springs while enjoying the scenery of Mt. Koya. It can be seen that Tokugawa Ieyasu chose the location of the meeting here, but it took a lot of thought.

When they arrived at the summit of Okunoin, Tokugawa Ieyasu and a monk in a purple robe were standing in front of the door smiling and greeting him. Today, Tokugawa Ieyasu wears a black kimono with the Tokugawa family's crest embroidered with gold thread, and clogs on his feet. The whole person looked radiant, without the decadent appearance of a few days ago.

For many years, few people are qualified to let Tokugawa Ieyasu go out to greet them. This time it's an exception, and if other daimyo see this scene, they will definitely be surprised to close their mouths.

Li Xiao saw Tokugawa Ieyasu and nodded with a smile. Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed down and performed a ninety-degree salute, and the monk next to him folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name, which was regarded as a return salute.

In the eyes of the Japanese people, Li Xiao's behavior is very impolite. But as the victor, Li Xiao doesn't have so many taboos. The Wa Kingdom is such a country, and they fear the strong. As long as you're better than them, it's okay to be better than them.

But if you're weaker than them, they'll bully you to death.

Regarding the national character of the Japanese people, Li Xiao can be regarded as understanding in his bones.

"Thank you very much, Chief Officer, please!" Tokugawa Ieyasu personally led the way in front, and Konishi Nagamasa and the great monk Masa, as well as Jiang Chaozong, followed not far behind them. Only Ai Husheng followed the two and acted as an interpreter.

Li Xiu commanded the guard company to quickly occupy the high ground, and some people even climbed to the roof of the house and set up machine guns to stare downward. As long as there is the slightest change, it will immediately be a situation of rivers of blood.

Perhaps knowing Li Xiao's worries, Tokugawa Ieyasu only brought seven or eight capable samurai with him. In the temple, all the monks who protected the temple were also dismissed.

The monks of Oku-no-in are well-known for their toughness, and it was the monks of Oku-no-in who led the charge with Wakisaka Yasuji.

Today's weather is very good, and the sun is shining warm on the body where I started walking. But then the more I walked, the light around me became more and more dim, and when I looked around, I saw that there were dense towering giant trees everywhere, almost every one of which was a thousand-year-old cedar that could only be surrounded by several people.

These ancient cedars cover the place known as "Satomaya" from the wind, and the deeper you go, the more light does not shine in, as if it has become an isolated world.

"Your Excellency, my lord, my alliance with Mori Terumoto has made me very angry. To put it mildly, I'm much bigger than Maori Terumen in terms of strength. Why didn't you choose me in the first place, and instead choose the much weaker Maori Huiyuan? Tokugawa Ieyasu asked a puzzled question as he walked.

It is estimated that this question has been lingering in his mind for a long time, and he met with Li Xiao privately today and immediately wanted to ask clearly.

"Mr. Tokugawa is the shogun of the shogunate, and he can be regarded as controlling the lifeblood of the Wakoku Kingdom. I'm in alliance with you, will you look up to me, a kid with only a few thousand troops? And Maori Huiyuan didn't have anything, he really wanted to ally with me at that time.

Cooperating with Maori Huiyuan is a send-off in the snow. Cooperating with you, hehe! At best, it's the icing on the cake. ”

"Taught!" Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded seriously, Li Xiao was right. With Li Xiao's strength, Tokugawa Ieyasu really didn't look down on it at the beginning.

"I don't know what conditions the Maori family promised you, if possible......!"

"Oh, it's nothing. He was only promised that my ships would be free to dock in the port of the Maori family, and that my goods could be sold at will in his fiefdom.

At the end of the day, I just want to be in business. If the Nine Ghosts Jialong hadn't come to provoke me, I wouldn't have come to the Wa Kingdom to trouble you. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu listened to Li Xiao's words, and he wanted to bring the nine ghosts Yoshitaka back to life, and then strangled him to death with his own hands.

It was this bastard who summoned this plague god, which directly led to the failure of his plan to unify Japan. If Li Xiao didn't come, he would now be the de facto controller of Japan.

Damn the Nine Ghost Jialong!

"I can also promise you the same conditions, I just hope that in the future we will not help the Maori family in the future, I don't know if you can?" Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately and unabashedly put forward his conditions.

"Of course, what I promised the Mori lord was to help the Mori lord restore his fiefdom. Now I have completed the covenant, that is to say, the covenant has been broken. ”

Li Xiao welcomes the chaos ahead. A war-torn state is in line with the interests of Li Xiao or the Ming Dynasty.

"It would be great if that was the case, if you wanted to. Can you sell us some arms? For example, your powerful cannons, we need them very much. Tokugawa Ieyasu immediately hit the snake with a stick and offered to buy arms.

"This ......! I'll have to discuss it with everyone before I can decide. Li Xiao replied with a smile.

Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that Li Xiao was shirking, and now everyone knows that this chief military officer is actually a non-existent person. But he didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward with Li Xiao.

After walking through this section of the forest, the front suddenly opened up. The feeling of the sun shining back on my body is simply refreshing, and there is a spring surrounded by natural stones not far away. The spring was steaming with steaming water, and the mist steaming up obscured the sunlight, leaving a large shadow on the dark green meadows.

"This is the place with the best view, and the chief officer can bathe here. In a while, there will be someone serving the tea ceremony, and there will be a Japanese meal. After you have bathed for a while, you can come and listen to the loud sermon. Walking to the front of the hot spring, Tokugawa Ieyasu did not take off his clothes.

"Oh!" Li Xiao saw that the pool was only a dozen square meters, and he really didn't want to take a bath with this old devil. was thinking about how to get rid of this old devil, but he didn't expect Tokugawa Ieyasu to mention it very consciously.

Watching Tokugawa Ieyasu leave with his henchmen samurai, Jiang Chaozong also scattered with his subordinates. The distance is about forty or fifty meters, protecting Li Xiao.

"Dick! Wash it together! "For Li Xiu, Li Xiao doesn't care. My own brothers, it's nothing to take a bath together.

"No need...... Big brother, I'll go over there and have a look! Li Xiu stammered, and then ran away in a hurry like a wolf.

"What's going on? Second, what are you running? Seeing Li Xiu's appearance, Li Xiao felt very strange. But the more he shouted, the faster Li Xiu ran. After a while, Li Xiu ran into the distance, pretending to command Jiang Chaozong to deploy defenses.

"Weird!" Li Xiao muttered and began to undress. It was very easy to take off the green summer military uniform on his body, and he touched the hot spring water with his hand. It's a little hot, but it's still the kind that can go down.

As soon as he raised his head, a woman in a kimono suddenly appeared in front of him. Li Xiao was startled, and instinctively reached out to touch the revolver on his waist. Unexpectedly, this touch was empty, and Li Xiao thought that the gun and belt had been thrown on the stone together.

"Chihime comes to bathe in costume chief officer!" A crisp voice dragged Li Xiao's hand back from touching the gun. The body stiffened, frozen there.

That's right, this woman in a kimono is the same Tokugawa Chihime who made sushi yesterday. I saw this Tokugawa Chihime Miss Bo Shi Fandai with affection in her eyebrows, and her hands crossed in front of her. The little face was flushed, and a pair of eyes secretly aimed at Li Xiao. Seeing Li Xiao looking at her, she immediately lowered her head shyly.

Li Xiao clearly saw that a touch of peach blossom-like red climbed up her neck.

"Tokugawa-san......!" Li Xiao had never seen this meeting in his life, and he actually stuttered for a while.

"Chihime is here to serve the adults to bathe!" After Tokugawa Chihime finished speaking, he walked in front of Li Xiao. Reach out and grab Li Xiao's pants!

"Don't! Other! Other! Li Xiao had an urge to run away, and the two of them were actually fighting over the poor pants there.

"Sting!" I don't know if it's a quality problem, but the pants actually turned into two pieces in the tearing of the two people. An unidentified object between the legs, exposed in broad daylight.

"!" Li Xiao scolded and quickly got into the hot spring.

At this time, Tokugawa Chihime began to undress gracefully!
