different warring states of japan

Chapter 52 Bewitched
There is some distance between Qingzhou City and Tongzao, and Yili couldn't make it back that night, so he and Riku arrived at Shiba's house around noon the next day.

Li Jiu felt haggard physically and mentally, and things happened frequently at home recently.First, she herself was chased and released, and Li Yi gained a lot of knowledge and practice, and then Li Jia confines her to think about her mistakes.

Thinking about his mother, Lichang is also pitiful, why so many things suddenly pop up, and they are all related to Yoshihiko Shiba.

She didn't suspect Yoshigin's intentional arrangement, but felt that it seemed like a bad relationship, the Maeda family was bound together with the Shiba family step by step.

"So, I'm counting on you."

Yoshigin bowed solemnly to Rikyu.

Although logically speaking, Riku, as the deputy official of the territory of interest, belongs to the Shiba family, but Yoshigin never oppresses others with his status.

Maeda's mother and daughter are both heroes, and there will be plenty of places to rely on in the future.Since they value affection, they should win over with affection.

Lijiu saw that Yiyin was like this, so he didn't dare to trust him, so he replied politely.

"My lord doesn't have to be like this, this is my duty."

Yi Yin shook his head and said.

"I have the same siblings as Yili. You are Yili's mother and my elder. The Shiba family has already perished, and my Shiba family is only tossing because of unwillingness.

Now I am going to travel far away with Li Yi, so I will leave the family to you.I have already ordered the Takata sisters. They only take care of internal affairs, and you are in charge of military and foreign affairs. "

Riku is surprised by Yoshihiko's arrangement.The internal affairs of the Wu family are nothing more than money, food, service and taxes, and foreign affairs and military affairs are the big ones.This is tantamount to handing over half of the property to Li Jiu.

"Lijiu will live up to his trust."

Since the master trusts him so much, Li Jiu also feels inspired and agrees wholeheartedly.

"In addition, I have made an agreement with Toriie Hime to help each other. If Toriie Hime comes to look for her, the Shiba family must go all out and never slack off."

Rikyu was already grateful to Yoshihiro for his sacrifice in going to Kyoto for the Toshi family, and these few words made him feel that he was a virtuous warrior of righteousness.

After a few exchanges, the two were very satisfied with each other, so Yili and Riku began to hand over the Shiba family's military in front of Yoshihisa.

After hearing Shiba Ashgaru's test, Riku looked at Yoshigin in surprise.

This young man's idea is wild and unconstrained, but it seems strange, but it is a feasible path for the Sipo family now.

What is the most troublesome thing about the Shiba family?Is the lack of Hime Samurai.The warriors have built up their foundations for several generations or even more than a dozen generations. Naturally, they are not afraid that no one will be able to use them when they encounter expansion.

There are genealogical retainers who have followed for generations, there are direct ministers who have been cultivated since childhood, and there are Fenggong and Xiangdang who have lived in the territory for generations.

The Cospo family is dead.According to the traditional method of the samurai family, Yiyin needs to spend three to five generations to slowly accumulate manpower and material resources.

But does he have time?This is a troubled time, and Nobunaga will send troops to fight in a few months.

Without a solid Ji warrior group, no amount of rewards, no amount of Zhixing Shiba's family can be revived, and Ji warriors are the foundation of a family.

And Shiba Yoshigin thought of the Ashgaru method, although it was anti-traditional and made the samurai feel uncomfortable, but it was effective in pulling a team loyal to the Shiba family.

Regardless of whether these ashigaru can fight or not, at least they have the motivation and desire to unite with the Shiba family and are willing to fight for it.

"This law is very good, but it is not appropriate to spread it to the outside world. I will implement it at Shiba's house and Ozaza Maeda's house, and keep it secret."

In the testimonial, Yango added a lot of gentle means, and these ashigaru will be loyal to Shiba. Riku's willingness to use this testament in the Maeda family in Ozazama shows his attitude, and he is loyal to the Shiba family.

After talking for a while, Li Jiu and Yi Yi left.The interest also needs to take the mother to explain some specific things, such as being familiar with the Ashgaru garrison, introducing the current situation of the soldiers, etc.

After leaving the room, Li Jiu suddenly asked Yi in a low voice.

"Benefits, do you have any relationship with the Lord..."

A subtle movement was made with the hand, the thumb of the index finger of the left hand formed a circle, and the index finger of the right hand gestured to click in the circle.

Seeing his usually serious mother suddenly making such a joke like a military warrior Ji, Li Yi was frightened and looked around, but luckily no one saw it.

"Mother! What are you doing!"

Riku looked at Yili's reaction and muttered in disappointment.

"No?"

Reminiscing about that night, Li Yi quickly shook his head to get rid of the ripples in his mind, firmly denying it.

"No, how is it possible!"

That night was the result of the Lord's collapse under the heavy pressure, how could the noble Lord do this kind of thing with me, ahhhh, forget it, forget it all!

Riku pursed his lips and sighed in disappointment.

"So the Li family succeeded?"

Benefit body shook.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Jiu glanced at his silly daughter.

"There is no pure friendship between a man and a woman, and there is no blood relationship. The Lord treats you and Li family so well, so he must like one."

Touching his chin, Riku said again.

"Or like both of them? This is not very good, one husband does not serve two wives, don't cause trouble at home because of emotional matters."

Li Jiu, a veteran driver in the army, blushed about the benefits.

"My lord is not that kind of person! My lord said that I would never marry!"

Li Jiu looked at his excited daughter with an encouraging tone.

"The lord wants to restore the family business, so naturally he won't marry. But the Shiba family always needs an heir, right? The lord will find a woman after all."

Seeing Li Yi's dumbfounded look, Li Jiu slowly uttered a bewitching voice.

"You are the only heir to our Ozama Maeda family. If you and the Lord... then Ozazama will be returned to the Shiba family in the future, and you will be worthy of the Lord's trust and care.

Now go to Kyoto, you have to serve the Lord well.I have everything at home, don't worry. "

Li Jiu bit the word "serve" a little bit harder, and he should understand when he saw that Li Yi's face was red.Smiling in relief, he patted his daughter and signaled to go.

The two of them never noticed that on the corner steps behind the house, a young girl was staring blankly at a booklet, bathed in sunlight.

Xue Nai didn't intend to eavesdrop, but just stayed by Yiyin's side habitually.The three of them were discussing matters in the house, and she was reading in the back of the house.

How could she have imagined that, as soon as the mother and daughter walked out, Li Jiu couldn't help but make a profit.

Master Yiyin said that she will study hard in the future and study internal affairs with her sister Yang Nai.

Therefore, Maeda's interests, who are highly skilled in martial arts, can protect Lord Yoshiyin from going to Beijing, and can look forward to becoming Lord Yoshiyin's wife in the future.

but me.

Xue Nai looked at the calculation booklet.I can only flip through it with my left hand, and I can't even hold it with my right hand.

I also want to protect Yoshigi-sama.

Yukino lowered her head and looked at her right hand, and held it silently.His fingers were trembling, and he couldn't close them no matter what.

The excruciating pain made her sweat profusely, and her body couldn't help shaking.But she seemed to be unconscious, just watching and watching. .

He clenched his right hand tightly, his veins bulging.
