Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Temple of Fire Vines, the Island Country of the East China Sea (7)

After the two came to the front hall, Zhu Ceqi said, "Yu'er, why don't you change your clothes? Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Nangong Yu said: "I'll wear this." Zhu Ce looked at the white, indistinguishable color of the cloth clothes on his body, and frowned: "How can this be done, it's too rude." Song Yiwan smiled and said, "The old man thinks it's okay, if the young master changes into a kimono the next day after coming to Dongying, it will make the people of Dongying look down on him." The less master is reckless, chic and casual, and his subordinates feel that the effect is better. Zhu Ce said: "Since your Uncle Song said yes, then you can wear it." ”

The four of them left the mansion, got into the carriage, and after walking for a while, stopped in front of a monastery. Many carriages have been parked in front of the temple, and many people wearing gorgeous kimonos have entered the temple one after another.

They also followed the crowd into the courtyard gate. Compared with the temples in Middle-earth, the Dongying Temple is less solemn and solemn, but it is more elegant and elegant. If you didn't know that this was a temple, you really thought it was a beautiful garden. The temple is filled with a variety of ancient pines, each with its own unique style and ingenuity. Walking along the deep pine path, you will soon see a mirror-like lake in the distance, and the green pines on both sides reflect the lake, rendering it a dark green color. Next to the pool stands a beautiful three-story attic, the second and third floors of which are all golden and sparkling as if they were painted with gold. Song Ming said that it was gold leaf made of gold, and the attic was called "Golden Pavilion", which enshrined the relics of the famous monk of Dongying, and the dream window of the sparse stone.

At this time, a group of Kyoto celebrities had gathered in front of the Golden Pavilion to greet each other, and their voices were not loud, and they all seemed reserved and educated. Nangong Yu knows that celebrities in the world are the same, and the soul under the gorgeous clothes is not necessarily nobler than ordinary people.

Zhu Ce and Song Yi also greeted the celebrities, and Nangong Yu stood aside, but everyone's eyes were attracted by him and they all looked at him. Because his clothes are so "outstanding", no one would have thought that there would be Han people dressed so ordinary. But no one showed contempt for him, and his aura and appearance were difficult to bury.

Nangong Yu found that there was also Xiuzi among the people who looked at him, and saw that Xiuzi was wearing a bright red kimono, the kimono was full of cherry blossom petals, her hair was gathered up like a cloud, three gold hairpin pendants were inserted on it, and her face was lightly painted with makeup, and Bai Yu's flawless feet were wearing a pair of clogs. For a moment, Nangong Yu was also attracted by her bright and moving appearance, but quickly moved her gaze to the two men next to her. The man on the left is wearing a goose-yellow kimono, with an obese body, swollen eye bubbles, a pale and colorless face, and an overly alcoholic appearance. On the other side was a plainly dressed young man in black, wearing a black hat, a slight beard on his face, a clear and handsome face, bright eyes, and a small folding fan hanging from his waist.

Nangong Yu saw many nobles surrounding them, as if their status was very high, and asked Song Mingdao, "Do the three of them have any background?" Song Ming first introduced the black-clothed young man and said, "He is the third son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tokugawa Hidetada." The Tokugawa family was one of the most powerful families in Toei, no less powerful than Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and as the heir of the Tokugawa family, he was shrewd and capable, and made good friends, and was respected. Then he introduced the fat man who was overly drunk, and said, "He is Oda Nobuo, the third son of Oda Nobunaga." After Oda Nobunaga was murdered in the Honnoji Incident, Nobuo was the most qualified of his living sons to inherit his father's legacy. But he was suspicious and incompetent, and was finally taken over by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and he was also shelved and 'captive'. Between the fame of the Oda family, everyone only respects him on the surface, and in terms of fame, he is not as good as his youngest sister, Oda Hideko. ”

Nangong Yu was surprised: "Hideko is also from the Oda family?" Song Ming said: "Yes." When Oda Nobunaga was killed, Miss Hideko was still very young, and among his dozen children, Miss Hideko was the only one who inherited the honor of the Oda family and became the first Kudan female ninja in the Koga Valley. There are many nobles who proposed to her, including Tokugawa Hidetada, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, but she didn't agree to anyone, and now she has reached the age of marriage, but she is still single.

Nangong Yu nodded, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard someone behind him: "Is it Brother Nangong?" Nangong Yu looked back and was surprised, that person was Xiao Yunxi, who had not heard from him for many years. I saw him wearing a white and blue kimono, a katana around his waist, long hair parted in the middle, and his eyes closed. The appearance is still very handsome, but there is no longer half a bit of shyness and shyness, and the whole person's spirit is refreshed, like a tall ancient pine, I didn't expect him to be in Dongying.

Nangong Yu said in surprise: "Brother Xiao, why are you here?" Xiao Yunxi said: "It's a long story, when the matter here is over, I will invite you to have tea at home, and then talk about it slowly." Nangong Yu said: "It's okay, how are your eyes?" Xiao Yunxi smiled: "I'm used to being blind, and I have long been free of obstacles, and sometimes I can see more clearly than not being blind." Nangong Yu said happily: "It seems that Brother Xiao has not only regained his life, but even his martial arts have reached a higher level, which is really gratifying." Xiao Yunxi said with a smile: "I thought that it was hopeless to learn martial arts in this life, but I didn't expect that Lord Martial Arts would look up to me, take me as an apprentice, and teach me the 'Heart Sword Flow', which is why I am today." I also came to worship God on behalf of Mr. Wu Sheng. Nangong Yu sighed: "How did you worship under the Martial Saint Sect?" Xiao Yunxi was about to speak, when the audience suddenly fell silent, everyone bowed their heads solemnly, standing beside the road, and Song Ming said: "General Toyotomi is here." ”

I saw four black-clothed servants carrying a small sedan chair with soft chairs, and on it sat a thin old man wearing a high black veil and a white kimono. The old man was bald on the top of his head, with only the hair on the sides, and a jet-black hairpin stuck in a bun at the end of his head.

Unexpectedly, the figure of the famous Toyotomi Hideyoshi was as lively as a monkey. Thin and short, a little hunchbacked, with only wrinkled skin left on his bony hands, and the sun and moon folding fan in his hands were shaken, and his chin was sparsely fanned. If you change into the clothes of an ordinary farmer, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is no different from an old man who is a banker, perhaps the only difference is his eyes as sharp as an eagle, and he really can't look good.

After the soft sedan car fell, Toyotomi Hideyoshi walked down slowly. The height of the Dongying people is generally not high, but his height is also low among the Dongying people, but those tall people have to bend their knees to him, so he becomes tall. The powerful man must be tall because he can make others kneel.

After Toyotomi Hideyoshi said a few words to Toei, he asked everyone to excuse themselves and walked towards Kinkakuji, and everyone followed and entered the temple down the long steps. It is said to be a temple, but it is like a palace, surrounded by golden splendor, carved beams and painted columns, is ** enshrined in the great day, Toyotomi Hideyoshi led the hundred officials to kneel, he folded his hands and silently recited a string of Dongying words, bless the country and the people of Dongying, the people are rich, invincible and so on. Then prostrate the head. Every time he bowed, a white-robed monk rang the bell. Nangong Yu looked at Toyotomi Hideyoshi's back, and thought that if he didn't want to fight for his life and forcibly assassinate him, he should have the possibility of succeeding, so that Daming would be relieved of the big trouble. It's not a pity to die, but how can I bear to burden my father and Uncle Song, I sighed when I thought of this, and gave up the assassination.

After the ceremony was completed, Toyotomi Hideyoshi took everyone to the lobby on the second floor to taste tea in a narrative. It's all routine, comment on recent events, talk about some development directions, and a few words of encouragement.

After going upstairs, Nangong Yu and Xiao Yunxi sat next to each other in the last seat, and the audience listened quietly to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's criticism. Nangong Yu didn't understand a word, so he looked at the people in the lobby, and when he looked at Tokugawa Hidetada, who was sitting next to Zhu Ce, he saw that he also looked at himself, nodded his head, and his expression was very friendly, and Nangong Yu also bowed to him politely.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, and three young men dressed as samurai came to the second floor, bowed and walked to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to bow down, as if they were late because of a delay. Toyotomi Hideyoshi nodded disapprovingly and motioned for them to take their seats. Nangong Yu trembled when she saw one of them, and recognized him as Niwa Nagato. Niwa Nagato also recognized him when he went upstairs, and he also secretly glanced at him at this time.
