Ryosuke Nitta smiled: "Then Hosokawa Yorimoto really rewarded me with 2 pieces of money and sent me out." I was afraid that they would return to the book, so I set up a house workshop in Kyoto, and I never returned to Mino. But I couldn't wait left or right, until the rest of the Ryuo Islanders picked up their families and returned to Kyoto, and the shogunate still didn't come back to write back.

I arranged for 2 Ryuo Islanders to wait in my house, and I went back to Mino to pick up my family. However, when I came back with my family, I still didn't wait for the Hosokawa family to reply, but I waited for a letter from Yura Village, Shimomura Ryoshiro Odekai, asking me to send it to Hirado if I had news of Kyoto.

Originally, I thought that the Great Trip to the Sea was just a joke with the shogunate, but the Hosokawa family probably forgot about it, and I started a washi paper business in Kyoto. It wasn't until half a month ago that a samurai suddenly came to Nanachijo's mansion and found me, politely saying that the Hosokawa family had a letter of trust for me to transfer to the Great Sea, and gave me a golden sentence.

I was overjoyed that I could finally do something for Dragon King Island, and the next day I packed my bags and prepared to hit the road. Unexpectedly, another samurai came, saying that there was a noble man who had a letter to bring to the sea on Ryuo Island, so please send it immediately. I knew that I was being watched not only by the shogunate deacon, but also by others, but I was not afraid. ”

Chongwen smiled: "Why aren't you afraid?"

Ryosuke Nitta smiled strangely and said, "As long as my Dragon King Island is strong, they won't dare to tear their faces with us, and no one will dare to kill me." Even if I die, I have arranged it, and our people will continue to send the news to the hands of Da Chuhai. ”

Chongwen nodded and said, "That's good... You are in Kyoto, you are in the tiger's den in Longtan. I don't dare to guarantee that you will always be safe, but I can guarantee that whoever dares to harm the brothers of Dragon King Island, I will kill their entire family and die for you, and I will take good care of your family. ”

Ryosuke Nitta bowed down and said: "There is no need to say these words, we all understand that the same life and death are brothers. ”

Chongwen said: "In the future, I will wander the sea, you may not be able to see me every time I go to Hirado, if I am not there, the Kyoto letter can only be handed over to one person, that is, Sayuri, the mother of the flower world, do you remember?"

Ryosuke Nitta said, "I see. ”

Chongwen motioned for Xintian to step back, watched him go out of the study, and closed the door gently, only then did he bow his head and check the seal. He smiled slightly, he knew who had sent the other letter, and what Nonghime said was right, it was indeed a cunning old viper.

Hosokawa Yoriyuki's letter did not surprise him, and mainly said three things. First, he apologized for the misunderstanding in Qicheng, he thought that Da Wai was just an ordinary businessman. Second, it was he who admired the bravery of Da Wai Hai and hoped that Da Kui Hai would become a retainer of the Hosokawa clan, and he planned to give Chongwen a city, and the stone height was not less than 10,000 stones. In this way, he is a native of the country, and there is no reason to send Dakang.

The third is that the crimes of the Ouchi clan, smuggling and looting, causing trouble in both countries, betraying friends, and being arrogant and domineering, intending to rebel, and being the enemy of the entire samurai family, will never end well. Now that the Urashima Murakami Navy and the Shikoku Kono Navy have fallen to the Hosokawa family, the Ouchi clan will undoubtedly be defeated.

As long as Chongfu joins the Hosokawa Navy with the Anointed Blood Bird Ship and does not allow the Ouchi family's Western army to enter Osaka Bay from the new route, General Yoshimitsu will fight with the protection of a country in the future.

Chongwen shook his head secretly, the Ouchi clan is afraid that this time it will be finished, his strength has been completely divided into two halves by the sea, and he is greedy for the city, he will die without a place to be buried, Hosokawa Yoriyuki's hand is really old, and the sea passage of the Ouchi family has been cut off.

However, Hosokawa Yoriyuki still didn't see it through, he thought that the value of Ryuo Island was only in the new route, and it was only worth protecting one country, and his vision was not as good as Ouchi Yoshihiro. To give him a small town of 10,000 stones, it would be naïve to let him betray the Songpu Party and the Pinghu Merchant Gang, and then give up the new route.

However, he never expected Hosokawa Yoriyuki, what he wanted was the shogunate's personal handwriting, as long as the Hosokawa family replied, he had another bargaining chip in his hand to deal with the Ouchi family.

Picking up another letter casually, Daoyu's calligraphy amazed him, but the content made him ponder. Michiyo only told him one thing, the Kamakura Shogun suddenly dismissed the Kanto Governor Shogun Spo Yoshiken, the shogunate general Kakune Yoshikan was furious, coughed up blood continuously, and ordered a crusade against the Kamakura Princess, Kakune Mitsuken, and the shogunate and Kamakura have completely torn their faces.

The Kamakura Principality immediately summoned the Kanto Yaya Formation and dispatched the public to surround the Spo family's house in Kamakura. Dressed as a woman, he escaped from Kamakura and fled to Furukawa Castle, and is currently preparing to counterattack Kamakura with the Shogunate's Imperial Decree to transfer the Kanto Guardians.

Michiyu Sasaki told Chongwen that before General Yoshitsuen died, the war had already begun. However, the old Viper's letter does not say who supported the shogunate and who supported the Kamakura princess in the Kanto states.

But what was he writing to himself for? Chongwen gently placed the letter on the desk, and for a moment he was stunned.

Daoyu is telling Chongwen that the situation between Kanto and Quanyu is not clear now, and he does not know who will win. The Sasaki family is not at all on the side of Yoriyuki Hosokawa and Yoshimitsu Kakune as he shows, he is still a grass on the wall, and he will only stand on the side of winning. This layer is what Chongwen can think of.

Daoyu obviously knew that it was impossible for Ryuo Island to support the Kanhe trade, and he told Chongwen this, which meant that as long as there were enough benefits, the Sasaki family would support the smuggling trade, which was also something Chongwen could think of.

But wasn't it enough for the Ouchi family to give him a shogunate position on behalf of the Kamakura Prince? What did he want? He should negotiate with the Kamakura Princess, bargain with Ouchi Yoshihiro, why should he look for himself?

There was only one possibility, what he wanted was something that Ryunoshima had, and the shogun couldn't give it. Chongwen let out a long exhale, and he understood that the old viper wanted his new route.

Chongwen understood, and Michiyu Sasaki took great pains to write him this letter, and what he really wanted to tell him was that no matter who became the shogun, the Sasaki family would be the winner. He didn't care whether it was a trade or a smuggling trade, he hoped that after the dust settled, the Sasaki family and Ryuojima would cooperate at sea to replace the Ouchi family's monopoly in maritime trade.

The old poisonous snake is so powerful, there is not only a Yoshihiro Ouchi in the country, but also a Michihiro Sasaki, and they all know that the sea is the life of the country. And Yoshihiro Ouchi uses the sea as a bargaining chip, but Michiyu Sasaki regards the sea as the future, and the old viper seems to be a step higher. So... Is this person a potential partner, or a future threat?

"Hanako, pen and ink waiting!" Chongwen suddenly woke up from his contemplation and shouted. He has already figured out how to reply to Kyoto Erxiong, and the rest can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Now that Chongwen is becoming more and more accustomed to barrel baths, and it is usually Sayuri who serves him, this kabuki has a pair of powerful hands that can relax the tense muscles of Chongwen's body, and he will be more pleasant and sharp mentally.

Spend the world is not bad money, in addition to a large public bath room, there is also a large private bath room to the sea, the renovation of the wide warmth, two huge bronze charcoal stoves make the room warm like spring, the best Qi Nan incense makes the room have an ambiguous atmosphere, the wall lamp and the ceiling lamp have more than 100 candles, the night bath room is as bright as day.

Chongwen was lying on a soft couch, wrapped in only a white scarf of Songjiang cloth, letting Sayuri's dexterous hands swim on his back, while laughing and chatting with Sayuri casually.

He sighed comfortably and said, "Speaking of which, I still want to thank you, I really can't stand the smell of black teeth for me." ”

Sayuri smiled: "The lord doesn't like it, so of course I'm going to go." Although we are a country of black teeth, it is also a favorite thing of the ministers, and the black teeth of the trick are still a little arrogant, so it is better to remove them. ”

Chongwen said: "Your country's trick hall is a novelty, and it is just a matter of teaching people black teeth, and this massage technique is also taught." ”

Sayuri said with a smile: "It's a trick house, it's all about serving people, but massage is not taught." A few years ago, I fell in love with a young masseur and learned from him. ”

Chongwen said: "Now that you are free, why don't you get him back and live a good life." ”

Sayuri sighed slightly imperceptibly and said, "I was only 16 years old at that time, how did I know that men have a set of words and a set of hearts, and a few good words hooked their hearts." Later, I found out that that person was a scoundrel, owed a lot of gambling debts, and I don't know how many widows I cheated out of bankruptcy, why am I so stupid. ”

Chongwen was silent, I want to be the same in my heart, can I live? After a long time, he said: "There are always good men, tell me whoever you like, and I will be a matchmaker for you." But there is one thing, if you want to marry, you must go through me, you have the big secret of Longwang Island, it is best to marry our own people on Longwang Island. ”

Sayuri said: "Forget it, today's life is very good, food and clothing are worry-free, with the deed shares of the flower world, I am not afraid when I am old, what do I want a man to do." After serving the lord like this for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied. But when it comes to massage, my skills are not good, and I heard that Hirado has just come to an old blind masseur in Suruga, but he is famous. ”

Chongwen thought for a while and said, "Invite him to the flower world and arrange for someone to keep an eye on him." ”

Sayuri smiled: "I also feel suspicious, how could it be so coincidental, let's kill it." ”

Chongwen patted the soft pillow under him and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you are a woman's family, why are you so murderous." ”

Sayuri gently pressed Chongwen's bare back, and said with a smile: "Don't move around, the lord is stupid, I am a stupid person, and my heart will be chaotic as soon as the situation is complicated, it is too terrible to put a suspicious guy by my side, and I will kill it directly." ”

Chongwen had no choice but to lie down honestly again, and said weakly: "No, I want to know who sent him, what he wants to do, and how to deliver the news." ”

Sayuri said, "Yes, I'll arrange it tomorrow." But I heard a piece of news that was probably more important than that. ”

Chongwen asked quietly, "What is it?"
