Yamauchi's words didn't make Ashina Yixin fluctuate, but Miko Kuro's eyes widened.

The general looked at the witcher who did not waver in the slightest, and continued.

"Lord Genichiro, and the adults in Ashina Castle, who of you doesn't know that there is a problem with Senfeng Temple? Who doesn't know that they are in collusion with the Inner Government? ”

"But can this be put on the bright side?! Mingguoren, you seem to be a person who understands politics, do you think you can say this? ”

"If you don't tear your face, Xianfeng Temple will still stand on the side of Reed, and contribute money and materials. But what if you tear your face apart? ”

Yamauchi Norizen was furious, and his fist slammed twice on the wooden floor.

This is not only to annoy Lan En's 'ignorance', but also to be a samurai, sad about the current predicament.

"Ashina is besieged by the whole of Toei! Every friend is precious. Yes, when those monks were working with us, they were still doing business for the inner government. But if we do it, we won't even have the benefits of this cooperation! ”

"A moment of rage? Chivalrous spirit? What's the use of this kind of thing in Ashina?! ”

Yamauchi Norizen yelled at Lan En, angrily scolding this foreigner who only cared about his own comfort, regardless of whether his name was alive or dead.

Yes, he's a foreigner, how could he care about the survival of Reed's name?

The general looked at the witcher sitting by the wall with the eyes of an enemy.

In his eyes, Lan En, who wanted to do this kind of thing because of his momentary chivalrous spirit, was undoubtedly an enemy who would shake the power of the Reed Country.

Lan En noticed the man's eyes, but he didn't seem to feel anything, just turned his head to look at the lazy half-lying old man on the throne.

"An uncontrollable and half-hearted collaborator will only be a nuisance to stay. I stick to my idea, so Ichishin-sama will decide. ”

Yamauchi Norizen also looked over with a tense face.

But the thin old man who was at the center of his gaze didn't seem to feel the-for-tat confrontation between the two at this time, and just looked at the witcher sitting by the wall with interest.

"I say, Lanne"

The old man even changed his hand to support his head to make himself lie down more comfortably.

"Just because of two guys who let's call you 'friends', you're going to kill the monks of Xianfeng Temple? I don't know what the temple is like in the places you have walked. But Dongying, these monks are not simple. ”

Lan's expression didn't change.

As I said before, when he was tired of studying history in his home world, he would find some foreign history to adjust his mood.

During the Warring States period, Oda Nobunaga and other figures had to struggle with strength and attack the west before they dared to make a move against Enryakuji Temple on Mt. Hiei, and even before the move, there was no shortage of opponents among his retainers.

It is enough to see that in the Middle Ages of Dongying, temples were not just religious sites, they were enough to be called military and political units.

The fame of Mt. Kongo's Senfeng Temple is also top-notch in this Dongying.

Lan En raised his eyes and met the interested one-eyed.

Before leaving, the two of them repeatedly said that they would pray for me in front of the Buddha statue in Xianfeng Temple. I told them that I don't believe in Buddhism, but they kept saying it and kept saying it, and it was endless, and it was boring. ”

The 'interest' on Ashina's face was slowly disappearing, and it was replaced by 'solemnity'.

Determination, for better or for worse.

As long as people show something that is unshakable and resolute, then it is natural that they will be respected.

"They went to Xianfeng Temple, and I had a share of the reasons. I don't believe in Buddhism, but I admit it. Eighty percent of them have died at the hands of those monks, so I will go to them to collect their debts. ”

"Even if. They actually just mentioned it in the main hall of Xianfeng Temple? ”

"Ichishin-sama." Lan chuckled. "Mentioning it in the main hall of Xianfeng Temple is just a trivial matter for a character like you. But for the man who had just become a low-ranking samurai, it was the opportunity that his mother had begged him for the rest of his life. ”

"So. Yes. Even before he died, he just mentioned to the Buddha statue in the main hall of Xianfeng Temple, "There is a Ming man named Lan En, please bless him." I admit it. ”

Ashina looked at the young man in front of him intently, and the corners of his mouth grew bigger and bigger without even noticing.

"Heheheha!"

At first, there was a low laugh, then it grew louder and louder.

"It's a rarity, it's a rarity! In this world now, you can still see this kind of person! Butterfly! Can you think of it, huh? Can you think of it? Ha ha! ”

Ashina asked with a smile at his old friend below.

Madame Butterfly knocked on the cigarette pot with an expressionless face, "Well, what the hell is it today." ”

Because I feel that I have something inexplicable, the obligations and responsibilities that others can't understand at all, and then I don't care about the three seven twenty-one to do it, isn't this kid the same as you who launched the war of thieves thirty years ago?!

Should we say it's 'karma'? Now that you are old, there is such a young man who has come to Ashina.

"It's an itch for your hands." The wizened old man grinned, and his sharp smile was like a demon!

At this time, he no longer had the lazy feeling of being half-lying down at all, but when he unconsciously rubbed the handle of the knife beside him, everyone felt a sense of fear.

"You're an itchy man, Lan."

"It's been a pleasure to fight you, but forgive me, I refuse to waste my energy on you until I'm done with this matter."

The witcher said calmly, and the old man smiled unconcernedly.

"I know, that's why it's a pity."

"I also know that you brought this ninja to report to me because you wanted to pull out a team of people to destroy the Xianfeng Temple. But it's a pity that I'm not the lord of the country now, and the general won't listen to me. ”

"You're serious, Lord Yixin!" Yamauchi Norizen immediately turned to Kneel Single-mindedly. "Even if you want your subordinates to commit suicide now, your subordinates will never hesitate, but this matter is not only about your subordinates themselves, but also will hurt the strength of Reed, please forgive me for not agreeing!"

"Now, you see it, Lanne. You've made a wrong move. I want to come to the Hirata clan to pull people's hands, but now Yamauchi probably won't let you out of Hirata Sho. ”

The old man spread his hands, and Lan En nodded.

"That's to be expected. I just acted after weighing the difficulties and the benefits, and now the 'difficulties' are just out of control. ”

"yes, the 'difficulty' is out of control."

Edina stroked the goatee on his chin and announced with a smile.

"So, Yamauchi Norizen and Lan. Let's have a death match. ”

After the words landed, the two of them seemed calm and calm.

On the contrary, it was Miko Kuro, who had been listening, and exclaimed in surprise at this time.

"Huh?! How come. Single-hearted! Shouldn't we talk to each other again? Deathmatch is inevitable."

"Or else, Miko?" The old man, who also looked calm, interrupted the child's words mercilessly.

At this time, the butterfly grabbed the child who was still about to say something and shook his head at him.

"The samurai of Ashina must uphold their loyalty and never allow anything that endangers the national strength to happen in front of them. A knight in a foreign country must fulfill the kindness of a friend, and never allow a friend to become a headless blood debt after death. ”

"Both sides have swords, and there is no way for either side to compromise, so what else can be done?"

"Only speak with a sword, warriors, there is the glory of death, and there is no shame of life!"
