On the morning of leaving Huiyi Village, Ma Shanchongzang took A Zhi and Xiaosuke to say goodbye to Shuang Xie and others, and went to Kyoto first.
After all, the three of them still have an "urgent mission". This encounter with the Zanxing Sect has already caused them to lose a companion and delayed them for several days, so even if they are in poor condition, they have to Hurry on your way.
Before leaving, Chongzang solemnly promised to repay Shuangxie and the others for their kindness if given the chance; of course, everyone understands that in troubled times, just listen to such polite words and never really.
Double Harmony did not deal with the Xingzong for any reward. It was precisely because they did not do it for profit that they did it so cruelly.
In the next few days, Sun and Huang did not rush on their way. Instead, they discussed with Hayato and Xiaomei how to deal with the children rescued from the dungeon of Tuxingzong; thankfully Yes, most of these children's homes are not far from Kobe. They were basically kidnapped not long ago by the monks of the Tokugyo Sect who rushed back to the main altar meeting. It was precisely because they were captured at a short time. It's a long time, so most of their injuries are still within the range of being able to be saved.
So Sun Huang decided to help others to send all these children home.
Of course, Hayato and Xiaomei have no objections to this matter. They were originally going to assist Sun Huang in completing the task of "recovering the Dragon Bi". Now Shuangxie himself is not in a hurry, let alone them. I will urge you; besides, Hayato and Xiaomei are not cold-tempered people, and they are willing to help these children if conditions permit.
In this way, Sun Huang and the others planned a route from south to west, then north to east, and circled the area around Kobe for another eight days, picking up those who had homes, or who could still be found. The children who got home were all sent back.
Some of the children are still healthy, and they are lucky, but there are also children who have been mutilated. It is obvious that they and their families need time to accept this sad reality.
Of course, there are also a few families who, when they saw that the child who came back was disabled, directly denied that it was their own child, and allowed the latter to cry and call her father and mother. There are only averted eyes and driving words.
But Sun Huang and others did not criticize those families harshly, because they could see that in those dilapidated houses, there was often another or several children who were so hungry that their faces were yellow and skinny.
They can understand that in troubled times, what it would mean if there is another burden to take care of for these families who are already hungry and precarious.
They can also "hear" that after they turned around and left with their children, all these families cried together, and then comforted each other by saying things like, "The children will be fine if they follow these kind people." , "Following them is at least better than staying with us."
On the night of the eighth day, nine of the dozens of children were left. They were either homeless or homeless.However, some of them already have a home and cannot return, and there are a few who are too young to find a home at all.
That night, the four adults did not speak much.
Even though Shuangxi always has a lot of ideas, this time they don't know how to deal with these children.
If this were in Dashu, with the energy of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai, it would be easy to arrange a good place for these children, but this is Japan, and it is still Japan in the "Warring States Period" , Sun and Huang are really limited in what they can do.
But the next day, things took an unexpected turn.
At dawn, Hayato came to everyone and said with a smile, leave these children to him.
Looking at Hayato's appearance, he seemed to have made up his mind, and there was actually a bit of relief in his smile.
Huang Donglai wondered, "Where can you take them?"
"Go home." After Hayato replied, he paused and added, "My home."
"Ha" Sun Yixie heard this and immediately asked, "Didn't you say before that you have no family and live all over the world?"
"Well, it's a long story. Now, and the situation is a bit complicated," Hayato replied, "My parents and grandparents are all deceased, and I have no brothers or sisters, so I can indeed be said to be alone." He took a deep breath as he said this, and then whispered He said, "It's just that there are still a whole village of relatives from my mother's side who insist on forcing me to be the clan leader."
"What?" Sun Yixie's voice raised, "You've been making trouble for so long and you're still a famous person." The fact that you go around and cheat is a private visit, right?"
"No, no, no," Hayato quickly waved his hand, "First of all, my village is very small and the location is very hidden. Even when my father was alive, he was the most He's a village chief; secondly, I didn't show any pretense at all before I met you two."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything." Sun Yixie tilted his head and waved his hand, interrupting. "I feel now that we are no longer in the same world. I have nothing to say to you. I'll see you later." After that, he actually got up and packed his luggage.
"Brother Hayato, we meet each other by chance, and we are not very familiar with each other. Thank you for taking care of us these days. Forgive us that we have important things to attend to at the moment. Let us say goodbye." The next second, Huang Donglai also picked up the While carrying his own luggage, he said goodbye to Hayato in a lukewarm tone.
The two people's actions were quite sudden. Xiaomei on the side was stunned when he saw it, but after a few seconds, Xiaomei came to his senses, so he also said to Hayato, "Kamo-kun, take care." Then he got up and caught up with Shuangxi.
Before Hayato could say anything else, the three of them were already walking away quickly.
Hayato was confused at first, but after a while, the confusion on his face turned into a slightly sad smile.
Obviously, Shuangxie has read from Hayato's expression and words just now, "After Hayato returns to the village and becomes the clan leader, it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to travel around the world again in the future.""I'm afraid the hidden village of Kamo's family doesn't welcome visitors very much."
That's why Sun and Huang chose to say goodbye to Hayato in this way, so as not to shake him. He was determined to make this possible "never see you again" farewell end before Hayato could get over it, so that everyone would not become sentimental.
Hayato watched. The backs of the three people disappeared on the horizon before he took a deep breath and looked away.
He looked back at the sleeping children not far away and scratched his head. He said to himself, “Ah, it must be troublesome to convince the elders to let these children stay. ”
Of course, he is complaining, but actually this matter is not that troublesome.
Hayato’s hometown just doesn’t welcome “visitors” very much. For those who want to stay for a long time, As long as the people who become residents can be recognized by the villagers, there will be no problem; in fact, Hayato's ancestral lineage was gradually separated and reduced to a side line because he couldn't stand the intermarriage customs of the royal family and some onmyoji families. , so they live in seclusion, but they are not completely isolated from the outside world. They will still find ways to get the villagers to marry outsiders.
The nine children Hayato decided to bring back to the village today will be in the future. They all became his descendants, and they and Hayato's descendants wrote many stories about conquering demons in later generations. Of course, this is not included in the narrative of our book.
Back to Shuangxiong. Here.
After bidding farewell to Hayato, Sun Huang's guide became Xiaomei.
This Jonin's foot strength is much stronger than that of the Onmyoji, plus they and Hayato. The place where they parted ways was originally in the northeast of Kobe, not far from Kyoto. The three of them arrived in Kyoto soon
This place is where the emperor is, and it is naturally the territory of the shogunate army.
< p>As we said before, in the "Yuanwa 2nd Year" of this universe, the shogunate's general who conquered barbarians was called Ashikaga Yoshiaki.This guy is the same as the Ashikaga Yoshiaki in history as we know it. Very similar, just a bit powerful, but not much.
He has ambitions, a sense of crisis, and some good strategic ideas, but he lacks the ability to implement them.
< p>He is not a puppet. He always thinks that he can use others when others use him, and he has indeed profited from it on several occasions, but in the end, the success or failure of the matter and the power of life and death are often beyond his control. < /p>He is not a tragic figure. He does not have the sadness of The Last King, but he cannot be said to be a complete clown.
He is just a relatively mediocre person. In a troubled world where many influential figures emerge, he plays the most suitable role as a green leaf.
But he himself does not know that he is just a supporting role.
For example, in our universe right now. Ashikaga Yoshiaki is planning to do something big.
He is planning to get rid of someone who is kind to him.He was promoted to the position of "general", but there were people who controlled him at every turn.
A person who just happened to be a guest in Kyoto recently, and he only brought a few soldiers with him, and the defense around him was not so tight.
A person who is familiar to all the readers, and 80% of whom have already guessed who it is at this moment.
Yes, that is Oda Nobunaga, known as the "Sixth Heaven Demon King".
The forces that received Ashikaga Yoshiaki's secret order and actively responded include Takeda, Uesugi, Asai, Mori, Rokkaku and other ten forces.
These ten forces all mobilized a team of elite troops who can carry out assassination operations in the shortest possible time, and after several days of running-in, these ten teams have been integrated into one. An assassination team composed of samurai, ninjas, killers, ronin, rikishi and other strange people.
They will take action within three days at most.
It can be said that Ashikaga has made up his mind and will never let Oda leave Kyoto alive.
Once his plan succeeds, the history of this universe may turn into an unknown, brand-new page.
But it happened that at this point in time, two Chinese troublemakers stepped into Kyoto; their arrival was destined to add a touch of comedy to the turbulent undercurrent of Kyoto.
