Chapter 470: Xue Ji Piao Xu Tian Ya
Kyoto, the capital of Japan in this era, was once bustling and lively. With the loss of power of the shogunate and the beginning of the Warring States Period, Kyoto has become much deserted and chaotic.
On the streets of Kyoto, the sound of horse hooves galloping from far to near.
Several knights walked through the streets unscrupulously. They were all dressed in uniform samurai uniforms, with samurai swords on their waists, and their auras were powerful.
The leader wears an ancient coin-shaped eyepatch on his left eye, leaving only one right eye exposed. Although his appearance is considered handsome, it gives people a cold and terrifying feeling.
"The heir to the famous Yagyu Shininryu family, Yagyu Jubei!"
"The eldest son of the Yagyu family. I heard that he fought fiercely with others and lost one of his eyes."
"This generation of the Yagyu family doesn't seem to be very good at it!"
There were warriors on both sides of the street who recognized this man and started discussing in low voices.
The famous Japanese Yagyu family is the most famous family in the Japanese martial arts. Yagyu Taimamomo has been revered as the number one person in the Japanese martial arts for nearly twenty years, and no one has been able to shake his position.
However, the Yagyu family seems to have a tendency to have no heirs. The eldest son Yagyu Jubei, although his martial arts is not weak, but he was seriously injured in a fight when he was young. His actions have become more and more extreme, and his reputation has always been bad.
In addition to Yagyu Jubei, Yagyu Taimamomo's other two children are both daughters. Although there is a precedent in Japan for a son-in-law to change his surname to the Cheng family, this is for a family without a male son. The Yagyu family does not have an only son. Dachengqi, this is the most critical issue.
"Lord Jubei!"
Several horses reined up their horses and stopped outside the Yagyu family dojo. The guarding samurai recognized Yagyu Jubei and quickly stepped forward to lead the horses.
"Where is Father?"
Yagyu Jubei glanced at the guarding samurai and asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Taimamori seems to be entertaining guests in the inner hall."
The samurai quickly replied.
"I see."
Yagyu Jubei said in a deep voice, and then entered the dojo alone and outside the inner hall of the backyard mansion. From a distance, he could see his father chatting happily with others, and there were many gifts inside and outside the hall. All wrapped in bright red cloth.
"Father! I'm back!"
Yagyu Jubei strode to a few steps outside the inner hall, bowed his head and saluted his father Yagyu Tajimamoru inside.
"Um!"
Yagyu Taimashou responded calmly, and then continued to entertain the guests inside. It was not until a long time later that he saw off the distinguished guests, and then had time to talk to his son.
"Jubei, didn't I tell you to go to the outer city to organize soldiers?"
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru glanced at his son, frowned slightly, and said with some dissatisfaction.
What he asked his son to do was very important. Mastering a wave of soldiers and horses could play a big role at a critical moment. If he did it well, it would be a great achievement. It would make the foundation of the Yagyu family in the new dynasty more solid, and it would not They are relatives only related by marriage.
Of course, because the matter was very important, he did not disclose it to his children. He just said that the situation was a bit chaotic now and asked his son to organize soldiers to protect themselves. Family private soldiers are not uncommon in Japan. Japan does not lack people who are willing to fight, but it lacks resources such as food, grass, and armor.
"Father, I've almost finished the things over there."
"I'm back. I'm back because I heard that Xue Ji is getting married?"
Yagyu Jubei was still very afraid of his father's majesty, so he explained the business clearly in front of him, and then asked about the rumor he had heard, that his sister was suddenly getting married? The key is that no one even informed him as his elder brother. This is outrageous.
At first, he thought someone was spreading rumors, but when he entered the mansion and saw so many gifts, he began to doubt his judgment.
"Well, Xue Ji is indeed getting married, which is a great thing for our Yagyu family."
Yagyu Taimashou nodded. He knew Xu Xin's identity. It was a great honor for him that his daughter could marry such a big shot.
My family knows their own affairs, and the Yagyu family's current prestige is all because of the support of that one person. To put it bluntly, Yagyu Shininryu is the puppet of the family in managing the industry in Japan.
Now the master is willing to marry his daughter and give the Yagyu family a chance. This is such a grace. Yagyu Taimamomo is naturally grateful.
"No, father, who is the other party, why is he so fast, and...there is something wrong with etiquette!"
Yagyu Jubei looked at his father, this matter was full of weirdness, and he wanted to know more truth.
"Xue Ji is marrying a big shot. Although she is not the official wife, it is also the supreme honor of our Yagyu family."
Yagyu Tajima Mamoru looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "Jubei, you will know many things in the future. Regarding Yukihime's marriage, it is not even my choice. If Yukihime's marriage goes wrong, our Yagyu family will There is a catastrophe, do you understand?”
"What!"
Yagyu Jubei's body stiffened. He was extreme but not a fool. His father had made it so obvious, so he naturally realized the importance of this matter.
Moreover, in recent years, there have been speculations from the outside world about the behind-the-scenes of the Yagyu family, and there are also speculations within the Yagyu family. However, even the eldest son, he, does not know much, but he can vaguely sense that the power behind it is very huge.
"Father, I understand."
Yagyu Jubei bowed his head to his father.
"Jubei, go meet Xue Ji and Piaoxu. By the way, tell Xue Ji to make preparations in advance."
Yagyu Tajima-no-kami instructed his son to do something, and Yagyu Jubei looked up in confusion.
Yagyu Tajima-no-kami whispered again: "The marriage will be brought forward, tonight."
"What! Okay, father."
Yagyu Jubei felt his head was even more confused, but his father's majesty for a long time made him nod and do things obediently, and turned around to find his two sisters.
At this moment, in the inner house of the Yagyu family, it was obviously a girl's boudoir. Two girls, one big and one small, sat in front of the dressing table. The simple and elegant kimonos wrapped around the two girls, each with a different style.
Yagyu's eldest daughter, Yukihime, knelt in front of the mirror. The girl was dressed in a snow-white kimono, as dazzling as the sun, but not the scorching sun, but the warm sun that brings warmth and gentleness in winter, full of holy and flawless temperament.
Her hair was in a dignified Ji style, with black hair cascading down her shoulders. Behind her stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, whose tender face and body were not yet fully grown. She was combing her sister's hair with a wooden comb. She was Xue Ji's younger sister, Piao Xu.
Through the bronze mirror, one could see that the girl named Xue Ji had a sad look on her face. She had always been carefree, but two days ago, her father suddenly told her that she was going to get married, and in her heart, she still had a crush on someone.
"Alas..."
Yagyukiji suddenly sighed, tilted her head and hugged her younger sister, Liusheng Piao Xu, tightly in her arms, resting her chin on her sister's head, and whispered, "Piao Xu, can you help me with something? Help me talk to Tian Ya..."
