Chapter 2127: The Lion's Roar from Guandong is Terrifying

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, another person came out of Nagano Yoshimori's room.

"Are you okay?"

Matsue Sae's pupils shrank when she saw Sanada Rin.

Who were the guests in this room? It turned out to be Nagano Yoshimori from the Doshin Secretariat, Harada Munetoki from the Date family, and Sanada Rin from the Sanada family.

These three people are not small figures, especially Sanada Rin, who is the adopted daughter of Sanada Nobufusa. This time she came to Kyoto to explore the way for the descendant of the Sanada family to go to school next year.

Next year, Sakura from the Sanada family will be five years old and it will be time for her to enter the Blue Clan kindergarten.

Matsue Sae was well aware of the conflict between the Nagano family and the Sanada family.

At that time, Sanada Nobufusa took advantage of the opportunity of Nagano Yoshimasa's death and took over the land of Nishi-Kamieno in one fell swoop, forcing Nagano Yoshimori to flee and have to join the Doxinzhong to find shelter.

Now that Sanada Nobushige has become the mother of the descendants of God, Nagano Yoshimori naturally dares not to have any resentment. Moreover, she has a good relationship with Sanada Rin, and the two fought side by side on the battlefield.

Who is the important person in the room who can have these three adults accompany him?

No wonder Nagano Yoshinori was fearless and held on to Aoba tightly, determined to take the opportunity to save face for Matsukami Sae.

Sanada Rin walked over, glanced at Nagano Yoshimori, and said lightly.

"That person said that he is here to have fun today and doesn't want to cause any trouble. Let's stop here."

Nagano Yoshinori pursed his lips and did not dare to directly refute Sanada Rin like he did to Harada Sotoki.

After not seeing her for a few years, Sanada Rin has matured a lot. At first glance, I thought she had married a husband and had children. She has become more charming like a young woman.

But Nagano Yoshimori knew this was impossible because Sanada Rin had slept on the holy couch.

The female warriors who have slept on the holy bed will never get married. They are the substitutes for the mother of the gods. Once they have any entanglement with other men, they will not be able to explain the source of future pregnancy.

Whether it is the mother of a divine descendant who has already given birth to a divine descendant, or a candidate who has not yet become pregnant, everyone will consciously keep their distance from men.

The benefits of divine blood are too great. The female warriors who have slept on the holy bed are all elites from various interest groups and will not make such low-level mistakes.

This time, Sanada Rin came back and asked to return to the team and work in the Tongxin Secretariat. The Saint is still considering it.

Sanada Nobushige wanted to follow Takeda Shingen's example and place Kousaka Masanobu close to the saint so that he could protect his children who went to Kyoto to study.

Takeda Yoshinobu is protected by Kousaka Masanobu and lives a happy life in the central government. Sanada Sakura can naturally be protected by Sanada Rin and study in the Blue Clothes Kindergarten.

It's just that Sanada Rin has been away from the Doshin Clan for several years, and now he wants to come back. Sanada Nobushige is treating the Doshin Clan as a toilet and can use them whenever he wants.

The rude approach made Ii Naomasa unhappy, and he refused to sign or express his opinion.

There was no way to resolve the issue, and it was not convenient for Sanada Rin to go back to Kanto, so he simply went around the Tongxin Secretariat looking for old colleagues to drink, which also worked.

Like Harada Munetoki, Sanada Rin was unwilling to offend Matsue Sae, who was in the emperor's favor, and be used as a gun by Nagano Yoshinori for nothing. Even though the two were friends, the reality was that it was real.

Sanada Rin nodded slightly to Matsue Sae, then looked at Nagano Yoshimori, which made Nagano Yoshimori very embarrassed.

Nagano Yoshinori originally thought that he had found a good opportunity to use the powerful people at today's party to put pressure on Matsukami Sae and raise his own status.

Unexpectedly, everyone here is smart and refuses to fall into the trap, which makes me look even more clownish.

Nagano Yoshinori's hand, which was around Aoba's wrist, gradually loosened under Sanada Rin's gaze.

It is one thing to use friends to get into trouble, but if you really treat your friends as fools and trick them, then you will no longer even be friends with them.

In the end, Nagano Yoshimori sighed and let go of his hand. Ming Liyou immediately stepped forward to protect Aoba behind her, but she did not notice that there was a hint of disappointment and contempt in Aoba's eyes behind her.

Just when the farce was about to end, there was a commotion outside.

Something seemed to have happened at the gate. Several bald men with pale faces ran across the porch, not knowing where they were going to report the news.

Sanada Rin grabbed a little bald guy and asked.

"What happened?"

The little bald boy looked at her stern face and hummed, not knowing whether he didn't want to say it or didn't dare to say it.

Harada Sotoki took out a Shunming Tongbao, shook it in front of Xiao Tu, and put it into his hand.

Xiao Tu's tongue immediately became flexible and he said.

"There are a lot of male warriors outside. The one leading them is very fierce and scary. He said he wanted to surround the veranda and look for someone."

Nagano Yoshimori, Harada Munetoki, and Sanada Rin looked at each other and at the same time looked towards their own room.

The baldy boy took the opportunity to break free from Sanada Rin's control and ran away.

Matsukami Sae also followed their gaze towards the house and had some guesses in her mind.

It was rare to see male warriors moving in groups, and the samurai men of the Kinki Brotherhood were too weak to do something as shocking as besieging the corridor.

Could it be... The roar of a Guandong lion... You three are really brave, daring to bring this man's wife out to play, aren't you afraid that her Guandong male lion will kill you?

As everyone looked at each other, Qingye bowed slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"I'm feeling a little under the weather. Since everyone is alright, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he was about to leave without caring about anything. Ming Liyu wanted to hold him back, but he shook him off and walked away without looking back.

Ming Liyou was stunned for a moment, looked at the adults in front of her, gritted her teeth, and whispered to Matsukami Sae.

"I gonna go see."

Matsukami Sae nodded slightly, and Nagano Yoshimori showed a sarcastic and disdainful smile on his face.

Ming Liyou saw it all and felt hatred in her heart, but she had no time to care about anything at the moment and rushed in the direction Qingye left.

Matsumoto Kaoru looked at Akari's leaving back with worry in her eyes. She wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally stayed where she was.

Matsukami Sae asked softly.

"Is that the one from the Uesugi family in the room?"

Harada Sotoki seemed to have a toothache and kept gasping for air.

Nagano Yoshimori had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Sanada Rin sighed and replied.

"It's His Majesty Kagetora."

Matsukami Sae smiled bitterly in her heart, it was indeed this prince. No wonder Nagano Yosei was so confident and determined to make the cadets suffer a setback.

If a head-on confrontation really came up, the cadets were not qualified to put on airs in front of His Highness and would surely suffer a great loss.

The island society has a strict hierarchy, and the samurai class has an even stricter rank system.

Although the saints are benevolent and righteous, and use appeasement to unite high-ranking military families and win over the middle and lower-level female warriors, there is still hierarchy.

Under the power of the Sōma theocracy, the most noble group of people must be the descendants of the Sōma gods who have the blood of saints.

As the adopted daughter of the saint and Uesugi Kenshin, Uesugi Kagetora's status is second only to the saint's biological children, and she can be considered half a descendant of a god.

If Nagano Yoshinori used Uesugi Kagetora to pressure Matsugami Sae, Matsugami Sae would not dare to resist. As a junior with no background, Matsugami Sae was favored by the saint and ascended the throne, which was in itself a matter of luck or misfortune.

Date Masamune was already unhappy with Matsugami Sae. If Matsugami Sae did not restrain herself and went on to provoke Uesugi Kenshin, who had a stronger personality, she would be courting death.

Matsukami Sae also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Harada Sotoki and Sanada Rin were very calm, so she did not get into trouble.

But now the situation has been reversed, and it is Nagano Yoshimori's turn to feel scared.

It’s because Uesugi Kagetora’s husband is the saint’s adopted son, Kai-kun.

Lord Kai was deeply loved by the saint and had made great contributions to Shimosa Province. Since ancient times, the greatest achievement was to save the emperor, and Lord Kai was the one who saved the emperor, and he was deeply in the saint's heart.

Kai-kun was born into the Yura family of Kankhashu, the leader of the largest local samurai group in the area.

Because of his merits, he was granted the title of Sekijuku Castle in Shimotsuma Province, and became acquainted with Uesugi Kagetora. As their adopted son and daughter, they were considered a half-divine family.

After Kitsuregawa Yoshiuji gave up the Ashikaga family name and Furukawa Castle, the saint finally decided to grant Furukawa Castle to the adopted daughters as a token of his favor.

Kai-kun was of good family background and had great military achievements. He was a powerful samurai daimyo in Kanto. He was also hot-tempered and very strict with his wife, which led the people of Kanto to complain that he was called the Kanto Lion's Roar.

This time, Uesugi Kagetora and Kai-kun went to Kyoto to pay their respects to the saint.

Uesugi Kagetora was probably dazzled by the bright lights and nightlife of Kinki and sneaked out to have fun. If he was caught by Kai-kun...

Matsukami Sae looked at Nagano Yoshimori and saw that sweat had already started to appear on her forehead.

A group of grown women stood there in silence, obviously frightened by the Guandong lion and not knowing what to do for a moment.

At this time, another nun came out of Nagano Yoshinori's room. Seeing that Zhu Ji was frowning, she knocked on the wall helplessly to remind Zhu Ji.

"If you guys keep standing there like this, those male warriors will rush in.

It is better to take His Highness to retreat to the back first. There must be other exits in such a large corridor. Just ask."

Sanada Rin bowed.

"Master Qing Hai, those male warriors seem to have cordoned off the veranda?"

Miyoshi Qinghai smiled helplessly.

"Whether it's through the back door or climbing over the wall, breaking through the encirclement of the male samurai is better than facing Kai-kun.

The two princes cannot be allowed to meet here. If a quarrel breaks out, it will be a joke to outsiders and bring shame to the Saint.

Find a way to leave first, and discuss the rest later."

Miyoshi Kiyoshi was both angry and amused. The saint's adopted children must have been enemies in their previous life. One loved to play, and the other didn't allow anyone to play.

Now they have even dragged the male hatamoto of the royal guards to Tobita Shinchi to catch an adulterer. If Uesugi Kagetora and Kai-kun were to meet in the corridor, this store would be turned upside down and public opinion would not be able to suppress it.

None of those who were involved, including Nagano Yoshimori, Harada Munetoshi, and Sanada Rin, could escape and had to suffer the consequences.

Run, run, at least don't make a scene here. Young couples will make a scene on their own when they go home, and it's nothing more than a fight at the head of the bed and then make up at the foot of the bed.

In addition to feeling helpless, Kiyoshi Miyoshi returned to the rocky mountain of Sakai Port with a lot of emotion.

If possible, she didn't want to come back in her life, but Sanada Nobushige needed her, so she had to come.

The mountain monkeys of the Sanada family are good at fighting, but they just can't muster any talent when it comes to economics and politics.

After the second spring review, a new Federal Reserve joint meeting will begin.

As the financial helmsman of the Sanada family, Miyoshi Kiyomi can stay out of the way and let Sanada Rin stand in front, but she must give advice from behind.

Every spring, there is the Grand Council of Representatives of the United Front Work Department, the Federal Reserve Joint Meeting, and the complex economic and political situation between the two sessions, which Kaino Riichi may not be able to fully grasp.

There is a saying in the Heavenly Dynasty: Eat the emperor's salary and be loyal to him.

Nobushige Sanada has treated Miyoshi Kiyomi well over the years, so Miyoshi Kiyomi had no choice but to take the risk of returning to Kinki and strive for the greatest political and economic benefits for his master in the two sessions.

As for the danger of your identity being exposed, you can only be careful.

Miyoshi Kiyomi's calm analysis made all the ladies present nod their heads. Then Nagano Yoshimori, Harada Munetoki, and Sanada Rin invited Uesugi Kagetora to come out, and they surrounded him and walked towards the depths of the corridor.

The female cadets also looked at each other and then at Matsukami Sae.

Matsukami Sae said with a cold face.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Keep it all to yourself. Do you understand?"

All the female warriors nodded at the same time and cheered together.

Matsukami Sae sighed and said.

"This is a troubled place, and it's not convenient for me to meet Kai-kun here, so I'll just follow them to find the back door.

You guys, don't play too late, let's go early."

After saying that, Matsukami Sarai decisively followed the direction where Uesugi Kenshin and others disappeared and hurried away, leaving behind a group of girls who looked at each other and finally looked at Matsumoto Kaori together.

Matsumoto Kaori is the leader of the second Holy Sword Group. Since Matsuue Sae and Akari Yu are not here, she has the highest prestige.

At this moment, Matsumoto Kaori was still thinking about her senior instructor Akari Yu, so she had no mood to have fun, she said in a cold voice.

"Didn't you hear what Matsukami Sae said? What are you still doing here in this place of trouble? Let's all go!"

After saying that, Matsumoto Kaori was the first to leave, but not towards the outer gate, but towards the direction where Mingli was chasing Aoba.

Several big guys gave repeated instructions before leaving, and the remaining student soldiers did not dare to disobey. They could only disperse and return home.

---

Deep in the corridor, in Qingye's room.

The servant Xiaobalu was kicked out early, leaving only Aoba and Akariyu to talk.

Aoba turned his back to Mingliyu, poked the candle wick with a needle, and said coldly.

"It was my wishful thinking that I could cling to you, sir, and think that I, a lowly person, could love someone.

But now I have figured it out. We, the You Men, are just a bunch of toys to be manipulated by others. We are not worthy of your nobleness. Please leave as soon as possible and don’t stay here to humiliate me. "

Ming Liyou sighed.

"Qingye, things are not what you think. The situation just now was dangerous and it is definitely not as simple as it seems. I can't act rashly.

Please listen to my explanation.

Qingye, who had been enduring for a long time, felt the pain in his hand even worse when he heard Ming Liyu mention what happened just now. Looking at the red wrist, he could no longer control himself and broke down and yelled.

"I won't listen! I won't listen! Go away! I want you to go! Please, please go!"

Ming Liyou bowed sadly, turned around and left the room. She knew that this departure would most likely be the end of her relationship with Aoba, but what was the point of lingering on?

Ming Liyu walked aimlessly on the corridor, not knowing where she was going. She was like a headless fly wandering around, until she heard faint voices coming from the flower garden in front of her, and she went over curiously.
