Chapter 2080 Let the Ancestors Take Care of It

Summer goes and autumn comes. Once the hot autumn weather is over, the weather turns cooler immediately. It's like the relationship between people. Once the honeymoon period is over, things can change at any time.

In the courtyard, Yiyin pushed Takada Yukino's wheelchair and slowly walked to the path paved with fine sand, carefully avoiding the gravel roads.

When he reached the pond, servants were already kneeling in the distance offering fish food. Yiyin grabbed a handful and scattered it on the water, attracting countless koi to compete for the food.

Waving his hand to let the servants go away, Yiyin bent down and personally helped Takada Yukino straighten the blanket covering her knees. The blanket had slipped a little while being pushed all the way.

Yukino Takada squinted her eyes and enjoyed it, like a napping kitten, carefully savoring the thoughtfulness and tenderness of her owner.

Yiyin grabbed her little hand, which was so cold and temperatureless, and sighed.

"How come it hasn't gotten better after so many years of treatment? Are those quack doctors in Sakai Port really doing their job? And Yang No doesn't care?"

Yukino shook her head slightly and said.

"I should have died when the Heavenly Punishment happened in Kyoto. This body is already gone.

Now every morning when I wake up, I will thank God for letting me live one more day, breathing with you in this world, and being with you for one more day. "

There was no joy or anger on Yukino's face. She expressed her most unforgettable love in the calmest tone, which made Yiyin feel pity for her.

He stroked her cheek with his fingers, which were cold and smooth like porcelain, yet so soft and docile.

Yiyin sighed.

"It's my fault. I knew you were weak, but I still summoned you to come to Duowen Mountain City to attend the meeting. It was really wrong."

Takada Yukino pressed Yoshigin's fingers with her palm, closed her eyes, felt the warmth from his hand on her cheek, and spoke slowly.

"I am struggling to survive every day and refuse to die, just hoping to help the saint. The saint needs me and summons me, and I am very happy.

If one day the saint has no use for me and treats me as a waste, I will be disheartened and would rather die than live. "

Yiyin pinched Yukino's cheek and couldn't help laughing.

"You sisters are really two different kinds of people. Yang Nai can't say such things. If she hears you talking so bluntly, she will scold you for talking nonsense and having no idea what you are talking about."

Xue Nai said calmly.

"My sister loves the saint to death, but she is unwilling to say it out loud. She always thinks she is very smart. In my opinion, my sister is really stupid.

There is nothing shameful about loving a saint, there is nothing wrong with that. "

Yiyin shook his head. Yangno didn't feel ashamed, but felt inferior.

In a sense, Haruno and Hideyoshi Ichijo are the same kind of people.

Beneath their seemingly proud appearance, they have actually never forgotten their humble origins. The more they pretend not to care, the more they cannot let it go in their hearts.

But Yukino is different, she is like a sharp sword that moves forward indomitable, even if it is incomplete, she is still focused.

The meaning of her life is to love saints. There is nothing she cannot say and nothing she cannot do.

Therefore, the samurai inside and outside the Kinki Sasaki clan were very afraid of Yukino. Even though she had become a cripple who could not even lift a sword, everyone was still scared to death.

Because Yukino never has a sense of right or wrong, she has only one principle in doing things: whoever slanders or harms the saint will be killed.

Kyoto Tenchu ​​was an indiscriminate killing of outsiders, and the anti-corruption campaign of the Chu Foundation was an internal massacre. Yukino and the Mibu Wolf loyal to her were the most terrifying killing machines under Yoshigane's command.

At the command of the saint, they can raise their knives against anyone, without asking for reasons, without reason, and without seeking benefits.

When it comes to absolutely loyal dogs, whether it's Fujibayashi Ryu from the confidentiality team, Kirikage Saizo, or Yagyu Munenori from the secret censor, none of them can compare to Yukino and her Mibu Wolf.

Other people who are out there are more or less selfish, but the group of swordsmen controlled by Yukino are like a sharp blade, without thoughts of their own, and the handles are firmly grasped in the hands of saints.

In this regard, even Haruno is not as good as Yukino. Haruno has too many selfish thoughts and is far less pure than Yukino. Yigin asked.

"Is Haruno okay? Is Haruno okay?"

Takada Haruno had just given birth to Yoshigane's twelfth daughter, Haruno, in the spring. She was exhausted both physically and mentally, and had been recuperating in Sakai Port.

However, due to the various troubles of reform and innovation, Yiyin has been staying in Duowen Mountain City and has not been able to leave. He has not yet visited the mother and daughter.

So when talking about Takata mother and daughter, Yiyin's tone couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Yukino smiled.

"My sister and Oregairu are both fine. Oregairu is already half a year old, and her eyebrows and eyes have grown a little. She looks very similar to the saint."

Yiyin nodded.

"Yeah, when I get time to see the child, I'll definitely take a good look at him.

Does Yang Nai know that you are here this time?"

Yukino shook his head.

"The saint summoned me secretly. I didn't tell anyone else except Kondo Isami, who brought the Mibu wolf, Hijikata Toshizo, and Okita Souji."

Yiyin sighed.

"I still remember these three people. They were very helpful during the time of Tianzhu in Kyoto. They are useful talents."

Yukino looked at the pond. The fish food had been eaten up by the koi. The full fish scattered, wagging their tails. It was true that those who benefit came, and those who do not benefit left.

"My sister is very smart. I haven't left the yard in the past few years. I can't hide it from her for too long if I leave suddenly this time.

Although the affairs of establishing the new Shintoism and raising children took up too much of my sister's energy, I have been away for so many days that she should have already found out where I was going."

Yiyin smiled.

"Yang is a smart person, and I don't want to hide anything from her. You two sisters are of the same mind, so there's nothing wrong.

I summoned you here this time because I need you to take someone to Ishikimizu Hachiman Shrine to do something for me."

Yukino frowned and repeated in a low voice.

"Ishikimizu Hachimangu Shrine..."

Yiyin nodded.

“Yes, Ashikaga Yoshiaki wanted to return to the capital, but he was frightened by the death of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and hesitated to go forward, so he stopped in Settsu Province to wait and see.

Ninagawa Chikayoshi and Hatakeyama Takamasa were anxious, so they wrote to me to test my thoughts, and I fulfilled their wish.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki can return to Kyoto. After all, she is the Ashikaga Shogun. She wants to return to the Kyoto shogunate, and there is no reason for me to turn her away.

However, since she inherited the position of Ashikaga Shogun, she has been incompetent and committed evil deeds. She should go to Hachiman Shrine to repent to Hachiman Daiboku and to the ancestors of the Kawachi Genji.

Let's see if the ancestors forgive her? Are they willing for her to return to Beijing? If the ancestors have no objection, then I have no objection either."

Yiyin finished his speech expressionlessly, his words were extremely cold.

Yukino narrowed her eyes. She didn't understand the saint's plan regarding Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine for the time being, but she could feel that the saint really wanted to kill Ashikaga Yoshiaki.

Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine is located at the confluence of the Yodo River, Kizu River, and Uji River. It is across the Yodo River from Yamazaki and is a water hub for entering the Kyoto Basin.

So seven hundred years ago, in order to protect the outskirts of Kyoto, the imperial court invited Hachiman God from Kyushu and built Iwashimizu Hachiman Shrine.
