The three of them stopped in a small grove opposite the castle, and took turns monitoring the emperor's castle gate under the cover of the woods. This kind of work of waiting for the rabbit is not something that can be completed in an instant, and it requires a long and patient wait, so the three of them are divided into three shifts, and each day they take turns to hide in the woods, and the other two rest not far away.

Hard work pays off!

Three days later, Zheng Zhifeng, who was in charge of monitoring that day, suddenly ran back to Yi Yun's resting place and shouted excitedly: "There is a situation...... Just now I saw two strange fellows coming out of the castle, and they haven't gone far yet, so come and see!"

Yi Yun and Chen Yuanyuan perked up and hurriedly ran over with Zheng Zhifeng.

Soon, Iyun saw two people walking slowly on the street in front of him. Walking in front was a tall girl, who looked about seventeen years old, and her height was about one meter six or eight, a woman of this height in Fusang was really an outlier among the aliens, because there were few Fusang men in this year who were so tall.

The girl's appearance looks very pitiful, as if she has been bullied for many years, and her expression has the kind of humility that is common on the faces of poor children who are often bullied in Fuso anime. Yi Yun has seen one of these people before, that is Cai Rou, the king of Qiantang, but although Cai Rou is often bullied, she does not seem afraid, because she is not bullied because she is afraid of others, but because she is weak and humble by nature. The girl in front of her does not give people a feeling of being weak by nature, but it is a kind of evolution that can only evolve from being beaten and scolded for many years. Fear of everyone around you.

The clothes worn by the maiden were very plain, the most coarse linen clothes, not much better than the poor country girl, but she did not resemble the poor, because her temperament was completely different. Chen Yuanyuan, a person with extremely keen sensibilities, only glanced at it and snorted: "This woman has a good cultivation, and she can never be a village girl." ”

Behind the girl. Follow a little old man, this old man can be said to be a dwarf compared to a girl. may only be about 1.5 meters tall, his whole body is thin as firewood, and his appearance is very ugly. His eyes were full of vicissitudes. It seems that he has felt hopeless about life, and only when he looks at the girl, will there be a flash of kindness. He was also dressed in very tattered linen clothes, but ...... Like the girl, he also has a temperament that is completely out of proportion to his clothes.

The girl and the old man each carried several white scrolls in their arms, which looked like rolled-up calligraphy and paintings.

"Xianggong, what do you think?" Chen Yuanyuan said in a low voice.

Yi Yun smiled and said: "These two people are in high positions, they are disguised as poor, judging from the calligraphy and painting scrolls they are holding in their hands, it is possible that they are going to sell calligraphy and paintings in the lively area in the center of Kyoto Town...... If I'm expecting it to be good. This girl is the emperor of Masakincho, and the old man next to her is estimated to be her trusted minister, and they are afraid that the fact that they are going to sell calligraphy and paintings as the emperor and the minister will be exposed and damage the face of the royal family, so they disguise themselves as poor people. Well, anyway...... Guess it out or not. It's definitely going to take a look. ”

Yi Yun thought for a while and said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Sister Yuanyuan, please continue to monitor the castle, I'm afraid that I will follow the wrong person and miss other information, so this girl and the old man will be followed by me and Zheng Zhifeng." ”

"Okay!" Chen Yuanyuan's body flashed. Back in the woods.

Yi Yun looked at Zheng Zhifeng: "Ahem...... You still seem to be a third-order rifleman, right?"

"Yes!" Zheng Zhifeng nodded.

"It's not a good profession for tracking. Yi Yun shook his head: "I'll change you to an assassin." ”...,

Zheng Zhifeng has already experienced a lot of messy professions, and has been turned around by Yi Yun countless times, and she has long been used to it, she spread her hands and said, "Okay, come and turn." ”

"Hey, hey!" Yi Yun laughed evilly, stretched out his hand to point at her, and shouted, "Pull out the house and soar ......"

Zheng Zhifeng only heard a dinging sound in his head: "Your family wants to pull you out of the house and fly to a fourth-order 'assassin', are you willing to accept it?"

"What?Fourth Order?" Zheng Zhifeng was suddenly overjoyed: "Xianggong...... You...... How can you elevate me to the fourth order? Last time, I could only get a third order?"

People always have to grow. Yi Yun smiled evilly: "You are with me, it's long again." ”

"Uh, it's obviously a very good thing, why does it become a little lustful when you say it in such a tone?" Zheng Zhifeng sweated: "I always feel like you're making a pun." ”

"Cut, it's you who want to be crooked. Yi Yunyi said solemnly: "My generation never says puns, because ...... When my generation plays hooligans, he will also play openly, and the yellow jokes will come as soon as he opens his mouth, so why do you need obscure puns?"

"Okay, I know how undisciplined you are, you don't need to stress it like that. Zheng Zhifeng reluctantly spread his hands and accepted a new profession at the same time. Although she said that her husband had no discipline or something, in fact, her admiration for Yi Yun in her heart went to a higher level...... Xianggong is really powerful, he can actually promote others to the fourth order...... If he continues to develop like this, won't he be able to promote me to the fifth order if he grows up a little more? Wow! Xianggong is really powerful!

Yi Yun and Zheng Zhifeng followed behind the girl and the old man. Both of them were invisible, so they followed very closely, only to hear the old man whisper to the girl: "Alas, let me go alone to sell calligraphy and paintings, it is really inappropriate for you to show up with you." ”

The girl shook her head and said, "Gao Ji, at your age, I don't feel at ease......"

The old man clenched his fists angrily: "It's all to blame for this sinister world...... No one pays attention to the spirit of bushido! There is no daimyo who wants to support you...... They only know how to fight for turf and intrigue ......"

The girl sighed lightly: "Lord Maori is still good, if it weren't for the fact that he often sent me some money so that I could afford to support some soldiers and servants, the most basic dignity of the royal family would not be maintained." ”

Hearing this, Yi Yun was basically sure that this girl was indeed the emperor of Masakincho, because in history, only this bitter emperor relied on the money of Maori Yuan to ascend to the throne, and the strong combat power of the Maori family became her last straw, otherwise she would have been overthrown a long time ago.

Hearing the Emperor of Masakincho mention Maori, the old man pursed his beard and snorted: "Maori may not be a kind eye, Your Majesty, let me tell you the real reason why Maori helped us...... Although the Maori family is strong, the territory occupied is too remote, and it is not easy to go to Beijing...... In this case, it is very difficult for the Mori family to compete for power and profit with famous families such as Oda, Ashikaga, and Takeda, and he is afraid that you will be controlled by these families, so he sponsors you and puts on a good person...... The purpose is just that he doesn't want other daimyo to support a new puppet emperor!"

"Scared...... How can this be? Really?" Emperor Masakincho was startled, she was originally a cowering girl, and her appearance looked very pitiful, but this time she was even more cowardly: "Uncle Takayoshi, according to what you say...... Isn't there not even a good person in the world?"

It turned out that the old man's name was Gao Ji, and Yi Yun memorized it in his heart. In fact, Takayoshi is just the name of this old man, and he also has a very loud surname - the Kyogoku clan, which is a famous family that has lived in Kyoto for generations and assisted the emperor. ...,

Kyogoku Takayoshi was an old minister who brought up Emperor Shokincho since he was a child, so Emperor Masakimachi addressed him as an uncle.

"Your Majesty, actually...... It's not that there are no credible people. Kyogoku Takayoshi lowered his voice and said, "There are still true samurai who respect bushido...... He's lurking in the ...... Well...... It's not convenient to say here, in case there are ninjas eavesdropping nearby...... It's going to hurt that adult. ”

The old man's girl's voice was low, and Yi Yun smiled secretly in his heart behind him: Fortunately, I am a person from the next generation, I just need to hear this, in fact, I already know, the so-called real samurai is to indicate Zhiguangxiu, right?

"Well, don't talk about that outside. Kyogoku Takayoshi said in a low voice.

"But I can't say it in the palace. The girl sighed, "Those servants around me are probably spies of the Ashikaga clan, and only outside the palace do I dare to say a few words to you about this." ”

"Whether it's inside the palace or outside, don't say it if you can. Kyogoku Takayoshi sighed: "The one who sells calligraphy and paintings is the heaviest, don't think about anything else." ”

"Uncle Goji...... Have you connected the ship to Omoe Country?" said Emperor Shokincho in a sudden whisper.

"I can't reach ...... Alas, since the death of the great pirate king, the shipping route between Fuso and the Great Meng Kingdom has been broken...... Now no pirates dare to smuggle people into the Great Meng Country, and I can't find a ship no matter how I look for it...... Can you bear with it for a few more years...... Maybe in a few years things will get better, and new pirates will open up new routes...... Moreover, we don't have enough money now, and even if we get in touch with the ship, it's useless if we can't pay for the trip. Kyogoku Takayoshi smiled bitterly: "It's better to save more money." ”

When Yi Yun heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: Emperor Masakin-cho is contacting the ship going to Omoe Country? What does this mean? Is there such an episode in the official history? It seems that this is a detail that has been changed in history.

"Uncle Kyoyoshi, if I escape, will the Ashikaga clan, the Oda clan, and the Mori clan come to hunt me down?" Emperor Shokincho's body trembled slightly, looking very frightened.

"Hmph, they won't come to chase and kill, they don't need to force you to abdicate by force, they can't be happy, as soon as you escape, they will immediately bring out the puppets they have raised to fight for the throne. Kyogoku Takayoshi snorted coldly: "At most, they will symbolically send people to look for you, after all, they are nominally your courtiers. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
