Chapter 1256 Death of the Southern Barbarians

Hijikata Toshizo looked solemn, walked into the room, and said to Isamu Kondo.

"Dohashi Shouzhong took people out."

Isamu Kondo nodded and said nothing.Seeing her like this, Hijikata asked.

"You know she's going out?"

Isamu Kondo sighed and said.

"Fujibayashi Muku sent a message. Guess why Suzuki Shigehide and Dohashi Morishi came to Kyoto?"

Hijikata Toshizo said.

"Of course the group of southern barbarians."

Isamu Kondo smiled wryly.

"It was Master Xianru of Shishan Hongan Temple who ordered the death of those Southern Man missionaries.

Shigehide Suzuki's delay in taking action may be due to the fact that the group of southern barbarians were protected by His Highness Oda, and the range of activities has been around the Tofuku Temple. "

Hijikata Suisan's expression changed drastically.

Don't look at them, Mibuwolves, who are powerful in Kyoto these days and seem to be famous all over the world, but in fact they are just a group of pawns, and the shogunate can crush them with one finger.

The real reason for the Mibu wolf to ravage Kyoto is the political stalemate among Ashikaga, Shiba, and Oda. As a result, no one dares to touch the Mibu wolf, so as not to spoil the overall situation.

Shiba Yoshikin voluntarily backed down in exchange for the understanding of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga.This allowed Mibu Wolf to show off in Kyoto and save some face for the Shiba family.

Zahezhong wanted to kill this group of southern barbarians in the capital, and behind it was the provocation of the Oda family by the Ichiko sect. How could such ants as Mibu wolves be able to withstand it?
Hijikata Suizan asked anxiously.

"Hime Kondo, did you tell Dohashi Morijo about the whereabouts of the southern barbarians?"

Isamu Kondo shook his head.

"How could I be so ignorant?
Didn't we agree that even if we get the information, we will guard Tuqiao after Tianzhu.

However, Fujibayashi Muku didn't give me any information, so Dohashi Morishi started to move first. "

Tukata Suisan frowned and said.

"You mean, Fujibayashi Muku secretly gave the information about the Nanman to Dohashi Morisho?"

Isamu Kondo glanced at Toshizo Hijikata and said.

"The Yagyu team has sent information that the hideouts of those warriors who ambushed Takata Yukino have been found. I have sent Okita Hime to lead people to investigate. If we are sure, we will do it tonight.

After killing these Ji warriors, the employment relationship with Dohashi Shoushige will be ended, and these pirates will be cut clean.

We never knew what Mamorie Dohashi was doing in Kyoto, and we never gave Morishe Dohashi any information, understand?

Also, remember, we owe Fujibayashi Muku a favor. "

Toshizo Hijikata nodded.

Originally, Mibuwolf's Tianzhu operation was not going to end so early, and they also hoped that this operation would become famous and accumulate meritorious capital for the future.

But the conflict between the Ichigo Sect and the Nanman Sect in Kyoto will inevitably implicate the Oda family.

Mibu wolf, who hired Dohashi to guard him, couldn't bear such a big thunder.As a last resort, Isamu Kondo had no choice but to complete the task ahead of schedule and restrain his minions quickly so as not to be affected by Chiyu.

Hijikata Toshisan was a little unwilling and ashamed.

"It's my fault that attracted the bastard Morishou Dohashi to Kyoto."

Isamu Kondo shook his head and said.

"Hi Jifang, it's impossible for us to swallow all the benefits in this world.

We are coveting others, and behind us, there are also people coveting us.

Mibu Wolf has already climbed the ladder, and the people above want to step on us, and the people below also want to pull us down, which is normal.

When Tenchu ​​is completed, we will write a letter to the Odai Office, requesting to go to Sakai Port to take care of Takada Yukino-sama who is ill.

We got enough. I was too greedy and wanted to earn more.

The matter of Dohashi Shoushige also reminded me.Enough is enough, and keeping our current gains is more important than anything else.

As long as the two Lord Takata continue to be kind and trustworthy, we will have a chance in the future. "

Hijikata Tsuisan nodded and stopped talking.

The predicament of the Mibu wolves today is that they want to go further after reaching the sky in one step, so they will be used by Dohashi Shoushige.

Isamu Kondo is right, the vortex in Kyoto is bottomless, and it is not something that ronin like Mibu Lang who have just gained status can play around.

For the current plan, retreating to Takada Yukino, the spiritual leader, Odaisho will never forget the loyal family dogs Mibu Wolf.

Tianzhu, enough is enough.

Under the setting sun, Suzuki Shigehide sat side by side with Dohashi Morishi on the porch of the courtyard, watching the sunset together.

Shigehide Suzuki was surprised by Morishige Dohashi's arrival.But this old opponent has already approached the door, and she can't show weakness.

The two remained silent for a while, and finally Shigehide Suzuki, the owner of this place, spoke first.

"Tuqiao Ji, you came to Kyoto just to watch the sunset of the center of the world with me?"

Dohashi Morishi smiled, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Suzuki Shigehide.

Shigehide Suzuki took a look, his pupils shrank.What was written on the paper was the whereabouts and scope of activities of the group of southern barbarians.

Dohashi Mamoru said.

"At this time, they should be having dinner with devout believers in Kyoto, right?
First thank them for the food given by the Lord, and then greet each other like sisters.

How disgusting, these exotic demons.With hypocrisy and equality, believers are given illusory hopes.

All are guilty?Oh, then go to hell. "

Suzuki Shigehide asked with a serious expression.

"Did you send someone to do it?"

Dohashi Mamoru looked at the position of the sun and said.

"The time is almost up, at most one meal will work, and there will be results."

Suzuki Shigehide stood up abruptly and looked at Dohashi Morishi.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Dohashi Mamoru stood up, looked at Suzuki Shigehide coldly, and said.

"You have been delayed in Kyoto for too long. Do you know how angry Venerable Master Xianru is when the temples in Kyoto deliver letters of help to Shishan Honganji Temple?"

Shigehide Suzuki said coldly.

"Those bastards in Kyoto, they are using Yixiangzong and us Zahezhong as their guns!

Can't they do it themselves?Isn't it because they are afraid of Oda Nobunaga and the military power of the Oda family in Kyoto!
I wanted to kill this group of southern barbarians secretly, don't expose our existence, don't cause trouble for Shishan Hongan Temple, what's wrong with me! "

Dohashi Mamoru looked at the excited Suzuki Shigehide, laughed and said.

"You're not wrong, but it's a pity that the Venerable Master doesn't think so."

Suzuki Shigehide's anger instantly froze on his face, and Dohashi Morishi continued.

"After Master Xianru succeeded to the throne, he launched Yixiangyikui several times, but the results were not satisfactory. The Yixiangzong of Sanhe Kingdom was even uprooted, and the expansionist faction of Shishan Hongan Temple was already dissatisfied.

Obviously, the Venerable Master needs to prove to everyone that Yixiangzong is still the guardian of the sect, and we have been fighting against the exotic demons without compromise! "

Shigehide Suzuki squinted his eyes and did not speak.

So it turned out that I was wrong.Even if he secretly killed those southern barbarians, the Venerable Master would not be satisfied.

What Ishiyama Honganji wanted was to kill these Southern barbarians in public in Kyoto.This matter is done for the eyes of various sects of Buddhism externally, and internally for the hardliners within the Yixiang sect.

Suzuki Shigehide's actions were contrary to Master Xianru's intentions, and that's why Dohashi Shouzhong went to Luo.

Suzuki Shigehide let out a deep breath, feeling a little tired.

"His Highness Oda will be angry, she holds the territory of two million stones in her hand, and when she is in full swing, her power has already attracted the attention of the world.

Our slap hit her in the face, and she will definitely bear a grudge against Yi Xiangzong. "

Dohashi Mamoru sneered.

"so what?
The Mount Hiei Tendai sect will support us, and with the relationship between the Tendai sect and the shogunate, the death of these southern barbarians will not cause any trouble.

She Oda Nobunaga is overbearing, dare to turn against the shogunate?Dare to turn against Tiantai Sect, Yixiang Sect, and even the Buddhist sects in the world?

The strength of the Oda family is not bad, but this is a life-and-death struggle between Buddhism and Nanbanism.She, Oda Nobunaga, wants to get involved in this matter, but she still lacks weight! "

Dohashi Morishi's arrogant appearance made Suzuki Shigehide shake his head.

Suzuki Shigehide didn't know whether Oda Nobunaga was afraid of Buddhist sects.But Suzuki Shigehide knew that Zagazhong had offended the Oda family this time.

Suzuki Shigehide said in a deep voice.

"Since you have taken over this matter, I don't have to stay in Kyoto anymore."

The Oda family has already been offended, Shigehide Suzuki is thinking about running away now, don't get himself trapped.If the door was blocked by the Oda army, it would be too worthless to die.

Dohashi had a sneer on his face, as if mocking Suzuki for his cowardice, she said.

"By the way, it seems like the Venerable Master asked me to bring you a sentence."

"You said."

"It's good to be the guardian of Kii, but don't forget, you are a believer in the Yizong sect."

Shigehide Suzuki looked at the sunset without speaking, it seemed that the Venerable Master was very dissatisfied with himself.

Shigehide Suzuki, who has the status of Kii's guardian, is no longer an ordinary Chinese, but a high-level samurai with an official status in the guardian system.

In theory, samurai sects do not interfere with each other.Suzuki Shigehide's cautiousness made Master Xianru already have doubts about Suzuki Shigehide.

And Dohashi's hostility towards Suzuki Shigehide also stems from this.

Suzuki Shigehide is the guardian of the samurai regime in Kii country, and he firmly suppressed Dohashi Morisho in terms of status, which made Dohashi Morisho very uncomfortable.

Shigehide Suzuki was also in a dilemma.

She is not a fanatical one-liner and does not go to extremes.However, her personal rationality could not get rid of the influence of the entire Zahe people's belief in Yixiangzong.

If she wants to be the leader of this congregation, she must be devout to Shishan Honganji Temple, and she must be cautious about appearing like a master.

Otherwise, Dohashi Mamoru, a tyrannical force within the Zahezhong, is always waiting for her to make mistakes, and is ready to replace her.

Suzuki Shigehide glanced at Dohashi Morishi, and said something lukewarm.

"I'm leaving tonight. I hope you will also leave as soon as possible, so that you don't lose the sisters in Kyoto."

Shigehide Suzuki deliberately avoided the topic of being a master, and Mamoru Dohashi snorted.

"Don't bother."

The two of them were not congenial, so they stopped pretending to be false, and Tuqiao Mamoru took his leave.

Shigehide Suzuki looked at her leaving back with murderous intent in his eyes.

---

Mamoru Dohashi returned to his courtyard, and was blocked by Toshizo Dojikata, please go back to Isamu Kondo's room.

Isamu Kondo asked Dohashi Morishi.

"Ji Tuqiao is not in the courtyard this afternoon, did she go out to do some errands?"

Tuqiao guards the key point.

"I went to see an old friend and deal with some personal matters by the way."

Information about the missionaries of the Nanban appeared inexplicably on the copybook in his room, and Mamoru Dohashi knew that the Shiba family didn't want to take the blame.

That being the case, she didn't mention it anymore, which is considered interesting.

Sure enough, Isamu Kondo didn't mention the matter of the Southern Barbarians, but just said.

"The traitor who ambushed Lord Takada Yukino has been found.

Let's do it tonight, after finishing this matter, Mibu Wolf's employment relationship with you will be terminated.

Dohashi Hime, are you alright? "

Before returning, Dohashi Shouzhong had already received the news that the Nanmans had been killed, and she was not a fool, so she naturally knew the reason for retiring after success.

So, she nodded and said.

"After finishing tonight, I will take people out of Kyoto immediately, and I won't stay overnight."

Isamu Kondo nodded.

"very good."

Tofukuji Temple, Oda Nobunaga looked at Bautista who seemed to be asleep in front of him.

She died peacefully, as if she was waiting for this day.But her body was pierced with thousands of holes, and she was killed by a salvo of iron cannons.

Hashiba Hideyoshi in front of him lowered his head, not daring to take a breath.

Oda Nobunaga said coldly.

"Is Shan Ke Shengcheng dead?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi whispered.

"The injury was serious, he lost too much blood and was in a coma.

It is said that when they were having dinner at the stronghold, they were suddenly attacked by a large number of ronin.

Except for Shanshishi Shengcheng who reacted quickly and avoided the bombardment of the iron cannon, the other Nanmans were killed on the spot.

The Nanban believers in Kyoto resisted desperately to protect Yamashina Katsunagi. They suffered heavy casualties and finally delayed the arrival of my reinforcements. "

Oda Nobunaga was furious.

Katsunari Yamashina, also known as Gepani, is a member of the Southern Barbarian army brought by Bautista. He is helping her train iron gunners, and is even helping the Oda family to sort out the plan for coordinated operations with long guns and iron cannons.

Oda Nobunaga needs her, she can't die yet.

As for Bautista, the missionary was the one whom Oda Nobunaga personally promised to protect, but died near Tofukuji Temple.Tofukuji is the residence of Oda Nobunaga, and his face was slapped.

Oda Nobunaga pointed at Hashiba Hideyoshi and cursed.

"You've done a great job!
I entrusted you with the law and order of the capital, but you actually let people attack me?

Incompetent people!Get out! "

Hashiba Hideyoshi kowtowed to the ground, shouting death penalty.Under Oda Nobunaga's rage, she couldn't justify herself, so she could only ask Takenaka Shigeharu who came with her to think of a way.

Takenaka Shigeharu bowed and said.

"The palace calms down.

According to my investigation afterwards, there were forty or fifty ronin who raided the southern barbarians, equipped with a large number of iron cannons.

These people killed people in the lower town of Kyoto. They were reckless and had no respect for the shogunate. It was probably a sectarian vendetta.

It is not easy to mobilize so many brave ronin with so many iron cannons. "

Oda Nobunaga narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Sectarian vendetta?"

Shigeharu Takenaka nodded.

"The other party has no scruples in doing things, obviously he doesn't take the Oda family seriously.

Doing things so presumptuously, and owning so many iron cannons, is probably the work of Zahezhong who belongs to the Yixiang sect.This is my personal guess, and the hall still needs to send someone to find out the truth.

But such a large-scale raid is by no means something that conventional law and order can resist. "
