Chapter 840: Izumo

"Speaking of Izumo country, it seems that the most famous traveling girl of this era, A country, is from Izumo country." After two days of travel, A Li, who arrived in Izumo country smoothly, looked at the streets outside that were not bustling due to the war, As if suddenly remembering something, he turned his head and said to Qin Heqing.

"A Guo?" Qin Heqing thought for a while, and it seemed that he had indeed heard of this name, but he couldn't remember exactly where he heard it from and why he heard it.

"Your girl? Are you sure it's a girl, not a witch?" Yue'er took over the conversation with a weird expression.

"Although there are also rumors that Akuni was a maiden in the Izumo Taisha Shrine in Izumo Country before she became a well-known wandering girl, but I always thought that it was just a name that the wandering girls used to make their identities noble. Did I make a mistake?" Ali asked suspiciously.

"By the way, what is the occupation of Younv?" Qin Heqing asked confusedly.

"Wandering girl is not a profession, but a specific title. At the earliest, it was used to refer to the maiden who went out, but later, after the Azuchi Momoyama era and before the beginning of Edo, it gradually became a pair of maidens. The exclusive term for branch girls, but you have seen the situation in this time and space now, the timeline is messed up, and history has changed, I don't know whether this word is used to refer to witches now, or to refer to those special practitioners." Yue'er Explained for Qin Heqing.

The Azuchi-Momoyama era was the troubled times of the Warring States Period, a specific era formed in history because there was no unified general and shogunate relationship. In the normal historical process, this era should be pushed back another 20 to 30 years. Start, but in this time and space...

Edo refers to the Edo period, that is, the era after the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate. The time lasted until the Meiji Restoration, and it was the last historical period that existed before the island country entered modern times.

In addition, both of them belonged to the history class of high school students in the island country, so even if they didn't point it out directly, Qin Heqing understood the meaning revealed by Yue'er's words and figured out the situation of You Nu.

"Do you want to see Ah Guo?" Qin Heqing nodded, looking at Ah Li who was puzzled and asked what nonsense you are talking about.

"I mainly want to experience the Qingwu created by her. It is said that because of the addition of the way of praying to the Buddha, the dance style is very unique. I didn't have the opportunity before because of Heleju, but now that I have come to Izumo, I naturally didn't let it go. It’s justified.” A Li replied.

"That's okay. After we find a foothold and meet the ninja here, we will ask him if he knows about A Guo's news, and then go to A Guo to watch her dance." Qin Heqing thought for a while, but did not refuse, and nodded in agreement. down.

"OK."

Then a group of people quickly came to the city, found the relevant responders, and stayed in a formation house in the city.

...

"My lord." After settling in, the Iga ninja sent here immediately approached Qin Heqing and greeted him with courtesy.

"Get up. Tell me in detail about the situation you have investigated." Qin Heqing stretched out his hand to support the ninja in front of him, looked at the other party and asked.

"Yes." Without hesitation, Nunren told the information about Nizi's family that she had investigated.

"According to the investigation, the current guardian of the Izumo Kingdom is Nizi Yoshihisa of the Nizi family. He is the eldest son of Nizi Haruhisa, the former governor of the Nizi family. He is twenty-five years old this year. He is male, self-willed and suspicious. Reckless, so shortly after succeeding the family governor, he beheaded his retainer Yu Shanjiujian because of the rumors, which caused the retainer to be at odds with him, causing turmoil in the Nizi family. Precarious..."

"The current generals in the family are Akana Mitsukiyo, Ushio Yukiyoshi, Onishi, Kumano Hisaya, Kannishi Saburo Zaemon and others. There are no female generals, but there is a young princess named Yamanaka Yukimori among the attendants. The existence of military generals is highly valued by Nizi Yoshihisa, and he has the posture of leaning on his arms. If you have any ideas about the Izumo Kingdom, you can start from here."

"Tell me about the situation of Xingsheng in the mountains." Qin Heqing nodded, and asked Chao Nunren again.

"Yamaka Yukimori, whose childhood name was Jinjiro, his father was an important minister of the Nizi family, Yamanaka Miyuki, deceased. He was 16 years old, and he had an older brother, but he was weak and sick since childhood, so the position of family governor was handed over to his brother on his own initiative. It was passed on to Yamanaka Yukimori, who is brave and courageous, and it is said that when he was still young, he killed his brother with a knife because of his brother's humiliation, which is quite bloody."

"And not long ago, in the battle against Xingsong Zhengsheng, a powerful family in the Hoki country, he became famous for beheading the famous mountain general Kikuchi Otoba Masao, and his reputation resounded throughout the mountains."

After that, there were some random and specious anecdotes, whether they were rumors or gossip, Nuren didn't care whether they were true or not, and told Qin Heqing one by one, so that he could fully understand the character of this Xingsheng in the mountains.

"Is it 16 years old... It's not impossible to touch it." Qin Heqing pondered.

After all, his bottom line is 16 years old, so people who happen to be stuck at 16 years old, as long as the circumstances are not too special - such as ugly, rotten, not necessary or too young, looks too old for their actual age If there is a gap, he doesn't mind doing it.

To put it in a more self-deceiving sentence, everything is for the world!

After a pause, Qin Heqing looked at Nun Ren and asked, "By the way, how much do you know about the character Ah Guo?"

"Is your lord talking about the Younv Aguo who created Qingwu?" Nuren was afraid of admitting the wrong person, so she asked a rhetorical question before answering.

"Yes. Is she a wandering girl?" Qin Heqing asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"You mean the maiden or the maiden by you." Qin Heqing asked.

This is also convenient for him to understand the attributes of the characters when he hears similar words in the future.

"Witch." The ninja replied.

"Oh, go ahead." Qin Heqing understood, gave up asking, and waited for Nuren's introduction.

"Yes." Immediately, Nunren didn't talk nonsense, and simply told what she knew about Ah Guo's situation.

It is similar to the legends in the streets and alleys. A Guo is indeed a famous dancer, but unlike ordinary secular dancers, the reason why A Guo became a dancer is entirely because of the needs of the Izumo Taisha—to raise money for the repair of the Izumo Taisha. The priests of the Izumo Taisha arranged some shrine maidens, including Akuni, to go on a national tour to raise funds from the people and nobles, but they didn’t want the clever and sharp Akuni to become famous in one fell swoop and become the leader of the whole Izumo country and even the whole country. There are famous dancers in the surrounding area, who are sought after by everyone.

Originally, this should be a good thing, but who called Ah Guo a witch? It is too famous, at least too famous, so shortly after the end of the national tour, Ah Guo resigned from his duties as a witch and became Ordinary people returned to society, and then incarnated as a formal dancer, began to tour the country (all islands) and promoted the dance she pioneered.

This is the source of Izumo Akuni's reputation throughout the country.
