CHAPTER XXVI

"What you just said is that you are still with the Shogun, and according to Ninagawa-sama, your father and son left Kyoto later, right?" Kuroda then asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At this time, the food was brought up by the subordinates of the dormitory, and at the suggestion of Kuroda Vocational High School, the three of them began to talk while eating.

"Kuroda-sama, that's true. Soon after the Kuroda family first sent someone to Shangluo, the shogun secretly sent his father and son to return to the family territory and continue to serve the shogun as a secret chess piece in the shogun's absence. Ninagawa said respectfully.

"I see! So where is Ninagawa-sama's territory? ā€

"In the lower plain, he was led in the Kirino River, Funai County, Tamba Province, and owned the 3,000-stone land of the castle of Panneji Castle and the surrounding area. In addition to the Jucheng Pangen Temple Castle, there are also three small family castles. It's just that Naito Sokatsu, with the support of the Miyoshi family, launched an attack on Zaixia's territory not long ago. I waited for the people of the Nichuan family, and after resisting desperately for more than ten days, I still fell into the city. It is precisely because of this that they fled all the way to this place. Ninagawa said in frustration.

"After the territory was captured, you desperately escaped, are you going to go to the general?" Kuroda asked.

"Back to Kuroda-sama, my father and son were indeed going to go to the shogun-sama. But what makes people angry is that along the way, these chasers of the three good families are constantly chasing after each other. To make Kuroda-sama laugh, it was only in Sakai that we came to Sakai Town in order to escape for our lives, hoping that we could hide here for a while before deciding where to go. But what I didn't expect was that the lackeys of the Miyoshi family would dare to openly act in this Sakai Town, if it weren't for Kuroda-sama and the Kuroda family's timely help, the two of us would have been bloody on the streets. Ninagawa said.

"So, you father and son fled all the way from Tamba to here?" Kuroda said with some surprise.

"That's true, but when I escaped from Pangen Temple City, there were still more than a dozen retainers in my family who swore to follow. When I arrived at Sakaimachi, the adults saw it, and now it's just me and the other two. Ninagawa put down the bowl in his hand and said with some frustration, even a little distracted for a moment.

"Ninagawa-sama, it doesn't have to be like this, it's just that the situation in is complicated right now, and there are really no ways to do some things. So what are your plans next, or go to Nijo Castle? Kuroda asked with a smile.

"It's absolutely impossible to go to Nijo Castle now, and the next two have already discussed, and they are ready to take a boat to Tosa Province first, and join Lord Chozong and my department, so as to continue to fight against the rebellious Miyoshi family." Ninagawa said.

"I see, Changzong is my family? It is true that there is some promise in Shikoku. In that case, how about the two of you come to my Kuroda house? Kuroda Vocational High School said seriously to the father and son at this time.

Kuroda Vocational High School is not a whim, nor is it a collector, but has his own considerations. Although the father and son of this Ninagawa family are not good at martial arts, but as the descendants of Ninagawa Qindang, one of the seven sages of Waka, their waka also has a certain inheritance and attainment, and they are also proficient in the tea ceremony.

To put it bluntly, the two of them have a skill, so they have the value of using the Kuroda family. Otherwise, let them go to Tosa Province, maybe when the Kuroda family fights, they will surrender.

"Is Kuroda-sama serious?" Ninagawa asked in surprise.

"Is Ninagawa-sama willing or scrupled?" Kuroda looked at him and squinted his eyes and said.

"No, no, it's our honor that my father and son can be favored by Kuroda-sama, and we are willing to vote for the Kuroda family."

"In this case, the two of them will first do things in their own family, and one of them will earn twenty stones a year, how about it?" Kuroda asked.

"I'm very satisfied, but I have a reluctant request that I hope my lord can answer." Ninagawa said.

"If you ask for anything, as long as it's not too much, I'll say yes. Kuroda said.

"I hope that when the Kuroda family one day crusades against the rebel Miyoshi family, they will be able to let Zaiya go into battle." Ninagawa said.

"Hmmm! I promise you, but you don't need to work too hard, you have to save your life, because you are still of great use to my Kuroda family. Kuroda said bluntly.

Ninagawa is not a fool, he thought about it for a while, and the only thing he could be favored by the Kuroda family was Waka, so he immediately understood the meaning of Kuroda Vocational High School.

"Hey! I understand it below, and I must obey the orders of the young master and complete what the Kuroda family needs me to do. Ninagawa said.

"It is worthy of being the descendant of Ninagawa's father-in-law! I just like to talk to smart people. Someone will arrange a place for you to live in a while, and I am also sleepy, so I will go and rest first. You also look tired, so don't eat too much, it's not good for your health, and you should wash up and rest early after eating! Kuroda Vocational High School finished speaking and left.

"This Kuroda family's unicorn is impossible to see through at all, and it's really a great character! In contrast, the general, hey! It would be nice if the Ashikaga family had another person who was so amazing! Ninagawa sighed.

"Father, I'm just afraid that this person has a lot of ambitions, and I'm afraid that one day the general will also ......," Ninagawa said and didn't say anything in the end, but Ninagawa already understood what he meant.

"Maybe that's providence!" Ninagawa said.

The next day, the matter in Sakai Town was suspended, and Kuroda Vocational High School did not want to waste any more time, so he took a group of more than ten people on the road to Kyoto.

Sakai Town is not far from Kyoto, so I set out early in the morning, and after only half a day, I arrived in Kyoto, and I still settled in Sanzen-in Temple in Kyoto.

Before Sanzen-in, it was actually greatly affected by the continuous war in Kyoto, although it was also an ancient temple, but after all, it was not as good as a temple like Kinkakuji, and the scarcity of incense was also slowly withering.

Since a few years ago, because of the relationship between the entire Enryakuji Temple, the Kuroda family's envoys first came here to settle down, and the Kuroda family has come here every year to disturb them. In order to thank the Sanzenin Temple, and also to save some character, the Kuroda family invested in the Qiankan before and after to repair the Sanzen-in. (To be continued.) )
