The dazzling sunshine burned the earth with all its might. The endless cicadas came from the canopy. The citizens who were still sleepy were forced to cheer up. For the sake of the livelihood of the whole family, they began another day of hard work.

As the last plum rain dissipated, the hot and scorching summer in August finally arrived at this disaster-prone island country.

It has been more than a month since the imperial court published the public release of the ambassador and raised troops in Kyoto.

At this moment, among the three famous capitals of the Tokyo Island Kingdom, the oldest Kyoto was repeatedly tossed by war and poisonous gas. It was covered with rubble and corpses in the city, which could almost be described as desolation and silence. The richest commercial center, Dafangcheng, is only 60 miles away from Kyoto, and is also under military control martial law. The city is deep and dense, with people in the city panic, and commercial trade is on the verge of paralysis, looking like it is in danger.

Only Edo Castle, thousands of miles away from the Gyeonggi War Zone, has maintained its usual prosperity and hustle and bustle. Apart from the continuous surge in prices and increasing refugees, there is no sign of a tragic end of the world.

Despite this, there has been undercurrents in this metropolis with one of the largest populations in the world.

Surrounded by the brigade of entourages, a luxuriously decorated gold-painted sedan was carried out of Edo Castle, crossed the bustling streets, crossed the shops of houses, tailor shops, and cooking houses. Finally, accompanied by the shouts of the followers, it slowly fell down at the door of a luxurious brothel with carved beams and painted buildings. Seeing this, a dressed geisha who had been waiting for a long time quickly greeted him enthusiastically.

But, Lord Sakai, you haven’t come to enjoy the scenery for a long time!”

While she reached out to lift the curtain of the sedan chair with familiarity, she helped the distinguished guest out, and greeted casually. There was no trace of unfamiliarity in her words, "The world has not been peaceful these days, I believe you must have lived a hard life!"

"Where are, Miss Kikuko, you are so exaggerating."

A middle-aged warrior with a pure-looking appearance and elegant costume walked out of the sedan chair with a smile; although he was a noble person at first glance, his attitude was extremely gentle and polite, "Have the guest who returned from the Western Kingdom arrived now?"

, I'm waiting in the private room behind, please follow me!"

The geisha replied with a smile, then got up and led the way, and the middle-aged samurai hurriedly followed. The two hurriedly walked through the corridor decorated with various Ukiyo-e paintings. Then they turned over a rockery with clear springs. Finally, they stopped in front of a rather luxurious door of the room. The sound insulation effect of the paper-sliding door seemed not very good. You could hear the charming moans of a young woman inside the room, and there were a few loud laughs of a man in the middle.

The geisha who led the way seemed a little embarrassed and wanted to make a sound reminder, but the visitor reached out to stop him.

Hearing the familiar and unrestrained laughter, the middle-aged samurai, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After drifting for so long, a sure letter came from Kyoto. I was worried that this bastard would waste all my time on the belly of the slander courtesan.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, opened the door with a "hiss", and shouted loudly, "You're OK?"

After a brief silence, there was a chaotic moment with the room, and a crackling sound of objects falling out.

A young geisha, half-clothed, exclaimed and jumped up from the tatami. Her hands covered her chest and shrank to the corner of the wall, but she could not cover up the large exposed skin, nor could she hide the bright red marks on Bai Zhe's skin.

Another half-naked girl tied into tortoise shells by a red ribbon was hung under the beam of the house and screamed, hanging helplessly in the air.

There is also a young girl with a strong body. At this moment, her jade body was sitting on a red lacquer table, and her whole body was filled with various sashimi, sushi and pastries. It is obviously a famous Japanese local product, a female body, compared to the other two. The quality of this female body container lady seems to be much higher. Even if she sees someone breaking in, she still maintains a quiet position, regardless of the problem of spring light leaks.

The last one, whose face was pale and whose eyes were floating, was obviously overly colored. He was holding a pot of wine in his left hand and holding a lit red candle in his right hand, silly not knowing what to do. On the tatami beside him, there were still some suspicious white liquids remaining, and some more suspicious strips, egg-shaped, and rod-shaped interesting objects,

"This" is really sorry, Lord Sakai. I have been here for a long time but haven't seen you here, so I can't help but have a moment of entertainment, "Please wait a little longer, I'll ask someone to come and collect..."

Only, you, alas”

The middle-aged samurai who broke in without authorization, the old man Sakai Naomasa could not help but sigh, and added his forehead with his hand, showing a helpless expression that he was no longer surprised. "Forget it, it's so messy that it won't be cleaned for a while, so let's continue talking in another place! Alas, you are also the lord of a vassal, and a descendant of the famous Mito Hokkien Sect. Why are you so unrestrained and unwilling to put your kung fu on the right path of samurai such as swordsmanship, spear techniques, military tactics, etc."

"Yes, it's too frivolous to act under the slightest

The deposed young master brother       The newly-successful Mito vassal lord Tokugawa Nagara, who recently succeeded to the throne, said to the elder, but he was very dissatisfied with it: Although the samurai and the relatives of the samurai who are in Edo Castle these days are all arrogant on the surface and are extremely proud of their own bloodline, who is secretly sneering at the so-called "samurai righteous way" that is invisible and intangible. And are you more interested in the visible and tangible Kabuki, female body swearing and narcotics?

From the perspective of Tokugawa Nagata, he was just traditionally addicted to alcohol and color, and did not try to smoke marijuana, which is now considered a very healthy attitude towards life, and is completely worthy of the noble title of the ancestor "Mito Hokkien". It is conceivable how those even less powerful warriors should look terrible.

After getting up and changing into an empty room, the two real power figures in the Edo Shogunate camp finally began secret talks on the current affairs.

"After Xi Laozaka Mitsui Ginji's army was defeated in Kyoto, the situation in the entire Kansai region completely collapsed."

After each of them sat down, the "Dao-Kyoto who had just secretly went to Kyoto to find out the news," Chang Le took out a small notebook from his sleeve, and introduced the major tyrants of the Changshu clan that had been subdued for a while, and announced that they would go to the "Kawamakura camp; the Mori Shinichi Fen, who had just got off the ship, was expelled together with a small number of shogunate troops stranded.

"I already know this news. Shinichi Maori arrived in Edo on a warship this morning, and he also went to the shogunate office to cry! Humph, in the face of the rebellion of his retainers, he fled in panic and was even more embarrassed to come out to meet people!" Sakai Naomasa waved his hand impatiently and talked about the attitudes of other vassal states in the Kansai area, and who was in charge of real power in the court? Alas, the bloody battle in Kyoto has ended for more than a month, but there is still no clear political measures of the court, and there is no sign of the next military action. This inconspicuous deadlock is really confusing!"

"The attitudes of other vassal states in Kansai area are simply to be pushed by everyone."

Tokugawa Nagata sighed with a little shocked and sadness, "Kyushu Island has basically become the territory of the Shimazu family. The shogunate's only stronghold there, Nagasaki, has been occupied by the Kyushu vassals. The other direct-government institutions in the western region, including the most important Iino Ginyama and Hiroshima Shipyard, were also "temporarily managed by the neighboring vassals. The most powerful Tosa vassal in the Shikoku Ukraine, recently announced that it had joined the Maku camp and sent a large number of troops into Kyoto, while the other vassals also announced the "bureau"

So far, the shogunate's sphere of influence in the area west of Kinki has almost only the lonely city of Dawei. Moreover, the garrison troops are less than 3,000, and people are panicked all day long. No one knows how long they can last under the siege of the enemy.

However, since the situation has collapsed so far, why did the imperial court keep its troops? Even if it is resting after the war, it doesn’t take so long!”

Sakai Naomasa asked, "Edo could not gather more troops to reinforce for a while. With the tens of thousands of troops gathered in Kyoto, the imperial court could take the nearest Okura City, and then head to the east to fight the shogunate. Why did he sit in food and pay and wait for a long time to take action?"

"Because the people there are uneven," Tokugawa Nagara explained calmly, "Deduct those scattered soldiers and roaming soldiers who are not in a state of harmony. The troops supporting the court were originally determined to serve as the commander-in-chief of the entire army and take charge of all military affairs. Orders all the troops gathered in Kyoto.

However, with the joining of the two powerful vassal states of Changzhou and Tosa, some vassal states sent troops to Beijing one after another, and were no longer the only one in the Satsuma Army.

Considering the heavy losses of the Satsuma clan in the previous war, these new forces have also become determined to fight for power and profit, and are unwilling to be angry at Shimazu. In order to prevent the Satsuma clan from falling out, the court also intends to provoke discord. As a result, various armies have been unable to integrate. "In addition, Nara and Hieishan major temples have recently suffered a collective rupture with the court, which has almost led to armed conflicts. Kyoto naturally has no power to launch a new round of attacks."

When the other party talked about the internal struggles of the Makugao family, Sakai Naomasa still looked calm and seemed to have expected this situation. But when he heard that even the monks in the temple turned against the court, he suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

Only, even Kinki Buddhist Temple does not support the imperial court anymore? How is this possible?!"

No wonder Naomasa Sakai was so surprised. Because the relationship between the Kyoto court and the monks in the surrounding temples has always been very close. Not to mention the usual offerings, senior court officials usually become monks directly after retirement, and it is also common for princes to serve as monks. It is a common practice since ancient times for the emperor to become a monk.

Since the shogunate, every time the court wants to overthrow the Wu family's regime, it will use the monk soldiers of these temples as the pioneers. Although there will inevitably be some contradictions and conflicts between each other, if the Gongwu and the Wu sides officially show up, these temples will always be the most loyal followers of the court.

However, no matter how deep the friendship is, it cannot withstand a real fundamental conflict of interest.

"Because our Emperor Renxiao has a headache!"

"Changle raised his wine glass and sneered slightly, "I also met the monk Changqing of Anguo Temple in Kinki. I only realized that in order to obtain a large amount of overseas aid provided by a Western Dragon Witch Sect, the court actually hooked up with the god of the Yellow Springs Yuekui. Isn't this to dig out the lifelines of all monks all over the world?"

Comparison: Outside the number of words:

Recently, I was watching a funny anime fan. The protagonist traveled to the Nohara family and entered an indescribable world of comics. The biggest cute point in the early stage was that Sesshomaru unfortunately dressed up as a novice from the Nohara family... so he was forced to perform a performance of catching ** and turning into marshmallows.

Afterwards, the infinitely terrifying Zhongzhou team unfortunately met Xiaoxin and others who left home for "exploration" during the "Grudge" session. Chu Xuan was so angry that he was so angry that the main god was destroyed by his brainless aura that the system collapsed, and was invaded by Nagato Yuki's hacker, and was violently tampered by Haruhi Suzumiya, which led to the inability to start again, and reinstallation required heart. Earth Day,

As a result, the whole team became illegal smuggling illegal smuggling households, and the two golds around them were used up at the beginning, and their lives were in a poor state. The man was forced to fight the black boxing to make money. The woman was even abducted to film. After experiencing the short and soft Japanese style, she also partnered with Sora Aoi and other great gods to play lily. It's so lovely.

There was also the even more unlucky fan who was arrested for leaving the team and went to prison for dinner. He was also raped by the Japanese gay man. Then he was sent back to another strange China and was homeless. Then he was sheltered by the urban management on the streets of Guangzhou, and the Hong Kong gay man was raped by the Hong Kong gay man again... It was better to be wiped out. Fortunately, he still joined the team in the end. It was a journey that was even more difficult than the Red Army's Long March!

Finally, Chu Xuan, who has an amazing memory, guided Mrs. Nohara to invest in futures, and made a lot of money. Finally, she had living expenses and temporarily stayed at Nohara's family. The problem is that the main god in safe mode, although the system was paralyzed and could not transfer the environment, and the points redemption function was over, she continued to send people in one go. Soon, the Yeyuan family was almost poor and had too many villains. Even the broken car had to sleep with two people. Zheng Chi, as the captain, had to sacrifice himself and squeeze into the doghouse with Xiaobai.

Immediately afterwards, these dozens of people and Nohara's family were traveling to the Warring States Period together! So they became paupers and starved ghosts. After robbing Inuyasha and Kagome in an unhappy mood, they were discussing where to go to rob the house. They were then incorporated into the Ruo group and attacked the Hojo family's Edo Castle!
