After saying goodbye to his mother, brothers and sisters one by one, Luo Shi Huiliang embarked on a journey to Kyoto.

This time, the ones who accompanied Eriguchi Nobuta, Yoshimori Yamaakana, Yoshimi Kobata, Yoshimi Nijo, Tokira Kiyora, Nagae Marume, and Togo. Among them, Yoshimi Kobata and Yoshimi Nijo were originally retainers of the Ouchi family. After Yoshitaka was rebelled and killed by Tao Qingxian, they followed Yoshizun to join the Luo family. At this time, Yoshizun not only had a territory in the Yamaguchi area of ​​Zhou Fangguo to support the wives, concubines and other families of his father Yoshitaka Ouchi, but also became one of the supervisors of the Kanhe trade between the Luo family and the Ming Dynasty, and lived a good life.

As for Yoshimi Kobata and Ryotoyo, after joining the Luo family, Masara was arranged by Masara as the close attendant of the legitimate son Ryoto, and had been with Ryoto for several years. This time, since the two were born in the area near Kyoto and were familiar with the Kyoto area, they joined this team.

Of course, besides the above-mentioned people, naturally, there is also a retainer of Akachi Mitsuhide, the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshihide. He will serve as a guide to bring Luo Shiraki and others to Ashikaga Yoshihide.

Everyone set out from Kawatsu Bay in the Himemaki Kingdom, took the merchant ship of the Roche House, pretended to be ordinary merchants, followed the coast of the Tsumaki Kingdom through the Guanmen Strait, entered the coast of Zhoufang Kingdom, and then took a rest there, then continued to take a boat to enter the Seto Inland Sea. After passing the Seto Inland Sea, they officially entered the Tanlu Waterway controlled by the Miyo family. It was probably because of mutual fear. Although the power of the Luo family had already been involved in the Shikoku area, the Miyo family still maintained the traffic of the Tanlu Waterway and did not deliberately block the trade between merchants from all over the Warring States Period and the Luo family.

After passing the Tanlu Waterway, everyone finally landed at Sakaimachi Port, where Luo Shi Huiliang secretly met with the public side of the Luo Shi family who settled there, following the Morita Takashi. After that, everyone set out again and finally arrived in Kyoto at the end of August. Among the group, except for Kobata Yoshimi, Nijo Ryoto and Akechi Mitsuhide, the rest of the people witnessed the scenery of the capital for the first time. It was also the first time they set foot on the land of the capital.

Here, surrounded by mountains, you can see the roof of the temple in any forest, which reminds people of the ancient story of Yuo and Yucao. Because of this, it makes people feel touching. However, when you see the scenery in other places, a feeling of disappointment also surges into your heart. I saw several houses on both sides of the road, and there were large holes paved with grass in the middle of the street, which made people unable to walk through with peace of mind. You can see abandoned houses under the fire of war everywhere, and you can see desolate scenes everywhere when you walk in the capital.

Luo Shi Huiliang once heard his father Masayoro and his grandfather Dongxiang Heiji mentioned this matter. Therefore, he was not shocked. However, when he walked into the weeds in the middle of the street, a stinking smell came to his nose, which was unbearable. It was definitely not the smell of garbage and dust, but the stench of rotting corpses. Perhaps it was killed by thieves or evil people, and discarded in the grass. When you look at it, you can see the bones.

"It's so miserable!" Yamaaka Yukisheng couldn't bear to say. Since becoming a hostage to the Nizi family and the Luo family, Yamaaka Yukisheng has lived a good hostage life in the Xuefu City of the Luo family. Every day, he looked at the happy life of the ordinary people in Xuefu City, and suddenly saw the true face of the Warring States Period here, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"That's it! In comparison, any street in the Luo Family territory is much better." Tuju Qingliang also commented. As a hostage who was a member of the Xitu temple family and the Luo Family family and the little surname of the lord Zhengliang, Tuju Qingliang has followed Zhengliang to see a lot of situations in the Luo Family territory. By comparison, he finally realized the power of the Luo Family.

"Where is the imperial residence?" Nobuchang Jiangligu asked. Compared to others, he, who was originally from a young family, would rather see the place where the emperor lives. In this way, when he returns to Kyushu in the future, he can show off to the people around him.

"Well! My father once mentioned that the walls around here collapsed, and thieves often come and go in and out of the forbidden area..." Kobata Yoshimi said.

"Well! The late father once said it in tears!" Nijo Ryoto agreed.

"Yes! Yes! My father also said that there was a woman who was engaged in the act of selling spring outside the Omen Gate in the Forbidden City." Kobata Yoshimi said again, "Those spring women were in groups of three or five, all maids in the Forbidden City... At this point, my father also burst into tears."

Everyone gathered there to talk, only Akichi Mitsuhide, Marume Nagae, Togo Hiroshi, and Luo Shi Huiliang were silent. Akichi Mitsuhide settled here for a while and had been used to everything here, so he was too lazy to comment anymore.

As for Marume Nagae and Togo's heavy position, this time they were the guards of Luo's Huiliang. Before leaving, the lord Masara had explained to them alone that during this journey, they just need to look at it with their eyes, and there is no need to say much, so they kept executing this order, and if necessary, they would simply stop talking.

At this time, Luo Huiliang bit his lips as if nothing had happened, and then walked step by step. He silently turned around here for half a circle. Then, he looked at the cracked walls with weeds growing inside. As a result, the buildings inside were even more tilted. No, maybe the weeds replaced the houses where the ministers lived. The people or warriors nearby might have no income, so they moved to another place to survive.

At this time, everyone continued to talk.

"So that's it. What you see in front of you is even more desolate than what you say."

"With this happening, wouldn't this place become a nest of thieves?"

"Ah! A fox jumped out over there... and ran over the wall and into the forbidden area."

"The royal city has become a fox's nest... It would be strange if the world is not in chaos."

"No, it's just that the world is in chaos, which makes it become like this. The lord Zhengliang once said that the rise and fall of the capital can reflect the lives of the people... This is a portrayal of the Warring States Period!"

"Look, Your Highness walked silently."

"He was probably trying to make this place prosperous again!"

"Be quiet!" At this time, Luo Shi Huiliang came over and scolded. These guys said a little too much just now. They actually talked about prosperity in front of the retainers of the shogunate general. Although the Luo Shi family could fully analyze that this was to help the shogun prosper Kyoto again. It was better not to talk about these topics casually in Kyoto, so he quickly stopped everyone's discussion at this time.

So, under the leadership of Luo Shi Huiliang, everyone visited the nearby area for half a circle. Then, Luo Shi Huiliang and others walked towards the desolate Xidagong under the leadership of Akichi Mitsuhide, passed Ziye, and passed Dade Temple. However, they walked into a pile of grass.

"Ah! It seems that people have lived here. There is a small path with small words engraved on the monument, and the monument is overgrown with weeds!" Yukiho, the mountain exclaimed.

"There is no smell of dead people in the grass!" Jiang Likou often said this. He thought it was a tombstone.

“Is this a pile of weeds?”

"This is not a weed." Akichi Mitsuhide, who had been silent before, finally spoke. "This is where the Yashita Master Masaru Ryo-kyu asked me to lead you to. This is the home of Kyoko Takayoshi, and we will spend the night here tonight."

In fact, the relationship between the Luo family and Kyoto Takayoshi and Koeye, the ministers and nobles of the Nakaoi Gate were good. However, when the Imakawa family and the Luo family formed an alliance, Imakawa Jungre, who agreed to be under house arrest in the Luo family as a hostage, suddenly appeared in the Toro Kingdom. After a storm, the Nakaoi Gate family, which was the first to lead the Imakawa family and the Luo family, felt deceived at this time. The relationship with the Luo family became awkward for a while, so even though the Nakaoi Gate family's Nakaoi Jun was Masara's father-in-law, Masara did not intend to let Luo family Huiliang and others visit the Nakaoi Gate family.

As for Kotomi, this guy had already rushed to Echigo Kingdom at the invitation of his sworn brother Nagao Masato, and was fully assisting Nagao Masato to attack the Hojo family and guide the Kanto region. So Masaro had to ask Akichi Mitsuhide to lead Luo Shiqi and others to visit Kyoto Takaki.

"Oh! This is Kyoko's Lord... Could you make a mistake? Did you make a mistake?" Nijo Ryoto exclaimed. This time, not only Nijo Ryoto and others were shocked, but even Luo Shi Huiliang was surprised. Looking at the reactions of everyone behind him, he seemed to understand in an instant that his father Masaruo asked him and the people behind him to come to Kyoto.

"Okay, come with me." Akichi Mitsuhide was too lazy to analyze everyone's questions, so he simply walked straight to the front and led the way.

At this time, it was almost dusk. The sky gradually darkened. The wind made people feel a little cold. Although it was not raining, everyone walked carefully.

"Ah! I saw it!" Yoshimi Kobata who was walking in front suddenly shouted happily, and everyone immediately discovered that a building that looked like a palace could be seen from the woods.

"Oh! It's incredible! Can people live here? Such an ancient palace!"

"quiet!"

But Nijo Ryoto and Kobata Yoshimi had already run forward to see. The house was tilted and the eaves were broken... It was really hard to describe its desolation. It could be said that the only house did not collapse. Ma Xiao's roof also had a big hole, and even some rice ears grew!

"Is anyone here?"

Nijo Ryofeng shouted loudly and looked inside. It was dark, with neither echo nor lights.

"Is anyone here?" Nijo Ryoto shouted again.

At this moment, footsteps finally came.

"Who is it?" Although there was a voice inside, no one was seen.

"Haha, Akichi Shinshou Wei Mitsuhide, come to visit with guests from Kyushu. Please tell the Kyoko Lord?" At this time, Akichi Shinshou had already arrived at the door of the residence, so he immediately responded.

Afterwards, there seemed to be three or four people moving inside, and then a servant in blue appeared from the entrance. The old man, who was about sixty, had a voice as thin as his body.

"Welcome. We have seen a letter from Lord Bandung sent someone to deliver in advance. We are waiting for you! Come on! I will take you to the guest hall."

"Then the four of us follow me, and the others take care of the horses. We will sleep here today, Xinchang, and bring the gifts together." At this time, Luo Shi Huiliang also began to command.

After giving the order, Luo family Huiliang followed the green servant up the steps. When he stepped on it, he made a thunderous sound. It seemed that a piece of rotten wood was broken. The thin old man immediately said:

“This is dangerous.”

But he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and after he finished speaking, he walked into the dark corridor step by step.

"Be careful of your feet and don't step on them hard." Luo Shi Huiliang immediately turned around and whispered. However, the old man seemed to have not heard it, and still took them outside the guest hall.

"Please wait." After saying that, the old man left, and Akichi Mitsuhide, who had been following them, said goodbye to Luo Shihui and others at this time. At this time, it was time for him to go back to report the situation to the shogunate general Ashikaga Yoshihiro.

After saying goodbye to Akichi Mitsuhide, everyone behind Luo Shi Huiliang regained their previous interest and immediately started talking.

"This is a very interesting thing, look! There is still light on the roof!"

"That's not a light, but a hole."

"You really don't understand the charm. You have to laugh at this time. You can see the moon when you sleep here. Maybe they arranged it intentionally!"

"As you said... it's really the moon, the stars are good. If it rains, wouldn't it be over?"

"Then tell it not to rain. Hey! There are also grass mosquitoes!" Nijo Ryoto said, and he hit Yoshimi Kobata's cheek.

"Bang!"

A trace of a slap appeared on Kobata Yoshimi's face. But he didn't care. Instead, he continued, "I really don't dare to understand. How can people sleep here? Your Highness."

"Okay. Quiet!" Luo Shi Huiliang was too lazy to pay attention to these guys, so he simply ordered directly, so everyone finally calmed down.

Not long after, the previously thin blue-clothed waiter came out. His master, Kyoji Takagi, seemed to have taken up the seat at this time. He came to inform Luo Shi Huiliang and others to go to the guest hall.

"It turns out to be His Highness Huiliang. Welcome to this place. It seems that you have grown up. You really look like Master Zheng Liang, a master of the house, and very much like him."

Luo Family Huiliang also quickly replied: "I am very happy to be able to meet the lord here!"

"Haha!" Kyoto Takayoshi said with a smile: "When I was dating Erectus Masaru, I often heard Erectus Masaru mention that you are a very polite person, which is indeed good. By the way, the letter mentioned that you were a Muromachi Okura (Ashikaga Yoshiki), and I have contacted you."

"Thank you so much!"

"The Imperial Office is also very happy, he is waiting for you."

"Xinchang, move here!" At this moment, Luo Shi Huiliang saw the gift from Jianglikou Nobuyuki, so he immediately ordered, then turned his head and said to Kyoto Takagi, "These are given to the adults by my father, I hope you can accept it with a smile!"

At this time, Jianglikou Xinchang also opened the package of the gift, but saw that it was full of yellow and orange gold betrayals. If it was calculated, it could be regarded as at least hundreds of stagnant copper coins.

"Hiss!" Even though Kyoko Takaki repeatedly pretended to be calm before, he couldn't help but take a deep breath after seeing these Jin rebellions. The money was enough to make the family's food resolved for a long time. After staring at these gifts for a long time, he came to his senses, so he quickly laughed and said:

"Hahaha... it's a bit dark and can't see clearly, so I have to look carefully for a while." Kyoto Takagi said with a smile: "To be honest, we don't light the lamps at home because there is no lamp oil. Hahaha..."

"I think so, so I'm prepared." Luo Shi Huiliang also said with a smile. He once heard his father Masayoshi say that in the Luo Shi family, he was a small family in the country of Feiqian. When he just started his business, his father Masayoshi accidentally met this Kyoko Takagi in Tangjinwan, Feiqian.

Subsequently, during the process of the Luo family's family's family's family's family's family's family's family helped him to obtain a lot of political benefits. Even the Luo family's family's family status was improved, and this adult also played a great role in it. Therefore, Luo family Huiliang had a special favor for Kyoko Takagi.

Then Luo Shi Huiliang and Kyoko Takaki made some courtesy to each other and finally waited for the meal. So Luo Shi Huiliang and Kyoko Takaki picked up chopsticks together.

"Forgive us for being rude, let's have a meal with you." Luo Shi Huiliang said.

"Quick, please! There is no good thing to ask for, please." Kyoto Takaki said so apologetically.

"By the way! Everyone else in the room has to eat, right?" Nijo Ryoto smiled.

Because only the rice is hot, there are two slices of chopped radish and chrysanthemums next to one soup and three dishes, and two slices of sashimi of antlers. The young guards of Erjiao Liangfeng have an amazing appetite, and they can get rid of these dishes in one bite.

After hearing Nijo Ryofeng's words, Luo Shi Huiliang immediately started to cough and reminded everyone to calm down. Of course, after seeing with his own eyes that the poverty in the capital had reached this level, he was also shocked.

After eating a bowl of rice, Luo Shi Huiliang said to Kyoto Takagi:

"Kyogi Lord..."

"What's the matter?"

"The general mentioned the affairs of the court in his letter. Regarding this matter, my father made a promise to help restore the prestige of the shogun. It was his unforgettable wish for his life and would never change. I hope you can help my father."

At this time, Kyoko Takagi put down his bowls and chopsticks. He sat upright and bowed to Luo Shi Huiliang. Although he seemed to say something, he swallowed it back in his mouth.

He also clearly remembered that when he met Luo's Zhengliang in Tangjinwan, Feiqian Country of Jiuzhou, at that time, Luo's Zhengliang was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and was still the governor of a very young local family. Now he has grown into a world overlord, and he is so brave to consider the problems of the Warring States Period. So his eyes are wet and he said:

"I seem to feel that the dawn of the Warring States Period is approaching!"

At this moment, the Grand Duke did not do beauty and dripped raindrops from the roof. At this time, no one brought up the rain, no one thought of mosquitoes, and no one said that food was poor. After the people who came with the young master Luo Shi Huiliang, they heard the ambitions of the lord Luo Shi Zhengliang again, were filled with excitement.

After leaving the guest hall and coming to the opposite room, they lay on the bedding.

"Hey! I want to go to Luo to restore the majesty of the shogunate!"

"Yes! We all know that we have to go out of Jiuzhou to calm the world. We have no complaints about the rain."

"Is that so? I just want to take advantage of the rainy night attack. So, I am so moved that I want to cry!"

"Okay! I'll cover your highness with an umbrella. It'll be easier to sleep with it if I cover my face."

However, the sound of rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the raindrops dripped like beans. For them, this was a very touching first night in the capital...
