I really am a celestial master

Suzuki said with a serious expression that ninjas are more for spying on intelligence than using ninjutsu to beat people. If the popularity is too high, it is a dangerous thing in itself. Agents like the movie 007 do not exist.

Feng was a little nervous and curious to grasp everywhere, just like Grandma Liu was visiting the Grand View Garden, and finally came to a yard. This time the unimpeded road was blocked by someone. A ninja wearing a blue ninja suit and covering his face said:

"Wait a minute, no one is allowed to step into His Royal Highness's inner courtyard with weapons."

"Baga, do you know who this is? This is Lord Sixteen Yeqing!"

Suzuki couldn't help but yelled, and the ninja seemed surprised to have heard the name but still insisted:

"As a shadow warrior, for the safety of your Highness, people still cannot bring weapons in."

He looked at Kou Ziqing with a bow and arrow pot and a knife, and his gaze under the mask was very alert.Suzuki was very angry and seemed to feel insulted, but reluctantly looked at Kou Ziqing and said:

"Master Sixteen Nights, if you are waiting here, I'll talk to the city lord."

Kou Ziqing looked at the sky and said:

"Don't waste time, please keep your weapons properly."

Suzuki said with a touched expression, seeing the lord of Sixteen Nights being so considerate.

"Don't worry, I will keep it for you, and I will wait for you here."

Kou Ziqing handed the bow and knife to Suzuki, then let the shadow dancer search his body and said:

"Maple doesn't need it, right?"

The shadow warrior nodded very interestingly:

"please."

After arriving in the inner courtyard, there was no need for someone to guide because it was just a house. Kou Ziqing took Feng directly into the hall. After entering, Kou Ziqing discovered that there were many people inside, just like the first time I saw the city lord of Hojo, they were all samurai and some. Official, Kou Ziqing said:

"Should there be a smashing cup as a sign, and then a dozen swordsmen will come out."

Thinking of how vigilant Kou Ziqing is here, it feels suspicious that he was suddenly removed from the weapon. In addition to the facts of the real world Tujia elders, Kou Ziqing could not help but think maliciously about the thoughts of these high-ranking people.

"Maple, if there is something wrong, you must hold my waist firmly."

Kou Ziqing said to Feng, Feng couldn't help being stunned. The nervousness of her kendo master suddenly vanished, but she became calm.After Kou Ziqing praised her mental quality secretly, he came to the hall, ignoring the curiosity or scrutiny gazes on both sides, and said directly to the man at the central table:

"In the next sixteen nights, I saw His Royal Highness the City Lord."

Kou Ziqing still saluted, not letting the other party use this as an excuse to make trouble.The city owner walked over from the table and looked at Kou Ziqing with joy and said:

"I have been admiring the name of Shizuye-kun for a long time, but I have never met. I finally met today as I wished. It is really the happiest thing I have in the past few years."

Kou Ziqing saw that his upside-down welcoming posture didn't look like he was about to attack, and his vigilance subsided a little, then he wondered:

"Don't Lord City Lord want to see me alone?"

Main Road of Uesugi:

"It was originally planned. But I think about it, Ikuya-kun is also the guardian samurai who accepted my destiny. Your name of bravery is already unknown in Musashi country, even the Lord of the country has specifically asked about it. Your name is why I prepared a banquet for all the samurai officials in the city to see your true face in Lushan, lest some people don’t know you when the time comes to neglect or collide, and you have defeated so many monsters for so much credit. Isn’t it justified that I haven’t opened it for you?"

Kou Ziqing felt the sincerity of his tone. Although he didn't look at the air, he didn't feel like the kind of person who suddenly killed the hero by looking at his face. Kou Ziqing relaxed and nodded:

"How can I be so ignorant when the city lord is so invited?"

"Great, this banquet is waiting for Shizuye-kun, please sit next to me."

City Lord Uesugi immediately asked Kou Ziqing to sit in Ampere's position. Whether it was China or Japan, the person who could sit next to the Lord was a proof of grace.Kou Ziqing didn't care about this kind of thing, but the officials and warriors were envious, of course no one dared to say anything.After all, Kou Ziqing is no longer when he first came to this world, his current name of bravery is not known to passers-by, but people with some identities like them understand it.

There are a few monsters that are really powerful. For example, the snake monster at the beginning caused heavy losses to Takiyama Castle. Even if there are elite soldiers from the centurion team, there will be no return. There are too many types of monsters in the world, and some can be conquered by the army. Some of them must be sent over by temples and shrines. This is not just a relationship of strength, but many demons can not be defeated by a large number of people.

Kou Ziqing asked Feng to sit next to him and waited for the start of the banquet. The City Lord Uesugi asked everyone to introduce themselves. Many people came up to communicate with each other witty and then met acquaintances.

"I finally saw such a day, and I can communicate with my colleagues at the banquet of His Royal Highness of the City Lord with Sixteen Nights."

"Kurosawa Saemon, it's you."

It was Kurosawa Zaemon who said this. When he entered the city for the first time, he was amazed by Kurosawa Zaemon for reciting Bai Juyi’s Song of Everlasting Hatred in the tavern. At that time, he suggested that he want Kou Ziqing to become an official. Kou Ziqing refused.

Kou Ziqing is not considered to be an official now, he is just a mercenary, just like the police and auxiliary police in the real world, they belong to the kind of no rights and no establishment.Of course, a nominal title of guardian warrior is enough. Kou Ziqing doesn’t even look down on the luck of a small land like Musashi without practicing Qi.

"When I heard the song of Sixteen Nights Lord Chang Hate in the restaurant that day, I knew that you were not an ordinary person. At that time, I only thought that you had a literary talent. Later I found out that the Lord of Sixteen Nights was both civil and martial. I really thank you for the people of these many cities. I have already paid back the sacred world of Musashi, so don't worry about the evil of monsters."

After Kou Ziqing humbled a few words, the banquet began. In fact, Kou Ziqing had already eaten a good meal. He just took advantage of this opportunity to eat a good meal so he agreed, but soon he found that his hope was lost.

Pickled salted fish, preserves, pickled radishes, rice, soybeans, etc., none of them are the delicacies of mountains and seafood, chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep. Kou Ziqing glanced at the city lord suspiciously, but he saw his eyes look majestic:

"Ikuya-kun, I heard that you have had a hard time, so today I prepared a lot of super-standard dishes, please enjoy them."

Enjoy your sister, is this something the guests eat?

Kou Ziqing was unable to complain, but saw that Feng was eating with relish. The white rice was dipped in salted fish and he was very happy. It seemed that he couldn't bear to drop a grain of rice. Is it really delicious? Kou Ziqing ate a few bites and it was just ordinary salted fish. And rice.

Kou Ziqing soon remembered something. The nobles of the Warring States Period did not eat a lot of meat. They believed that eating four-legged animals in the monk culture said that they would be reborn as animals in the next life. Only uneducated farmers, hunters and lower-level warriors would eat meat. .If a high-ranking official went to eat meat, he would be generally despised and rejected in aristocratic circles, almost like modern people taking drugs.

Therefore, in the daily menu of the Japanese Gongqing at that time, basically except for pickles, pickled radish and salted fish, it was salted fish, pickled vegetables and pickled radish.Sometimes there is no salted fish, only pickles and sauced radish.If you get a few fresh fish or some shellfish and catch up with the spring and summer season, there are fresh radishes and wild vegetables to eat, and a cup of tea and a few pieces of rice noodles for small snacks after the meal, then it is already very luxurious. Meal.

"I'm going... I'm dead."

After Kou Ziqing figured this out, this time he understood why City Lord Uesugi said it was a big meal. Kou Ziqing couldn't help his good intentions. He bit his head and ate it, really like chewing wax.After staying in the world of halberd spirits, he thought that Japanese cuisine was not as good as French and Chinese cuisine. He never expected to eat it like this five hundred years ago.

While this painful banquet was in progress, some dancers and musicians came. Some of them had good looks, but their faces were pink and gorgeous, making Kou Ziqing even more disgusting.The samurai officials watched with relish, even Feng looked at it seriously.It turned out that it was a famous geisha in Japan.

Just as the Chinese young people of Peking opera can't appreciate it without affecting it as the quintessence of art, these geishas can be regarded as cultural art recognized by the upper class in Japan, just as the Ming Dynasty on the opposite side will have the famous Qinhuai in the future.

The banquet came to an end under the dual torture of Kou Ziqing's taste and vision. After the geisha and the dancers went down, some samurai drink appeared on stage and performed, such as a person holding a razor and singing a strange song and dancing, which made many samurai applaud. The same goes for the black thief Zaemon.

"it is good!"

Castle Lord Uesugi took the lead and applauded. He drank the least, but he seemed to know that Kou Ziqing did not drink and did not give him sake.Before the geisha dance, he just nodded and said it was good, but now the "majestic" dance posture of the samurai makes him look so bright. Kou Ziqing is even more wailing. He thought of one more thing. In the Warring States period, the daimyo liked to raise a small surname. The so-called small surname is the same Like a concubine.

Among the three masters of the Warring States period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was born as a civilian, did not have this hobby, so that a samurai daimyo felt that he was very rebellious. Later, when the East and the West fought in Sekihara, not many people responded to Ishida Sansei. It is estimated that this person is not popular. It's also because Toyotomi Hideyoshi doesn't have much'brotherhood.'

"It's really a nightmare-like Warring States upper class society."

Kou Ziqing murmured in his heart, in fact, it’s nothing. The ancient Chinese idioms of breaking sleeves and the good idiom of Longyang were brought by the emperor and the princes. Kou Ziqing suddenly thought that if Kagome was a rotten girl, he would definitely feel that if Kagome was a rotten girl, he would have come to the Warring States. It's coming to Paradise.

There is no permanent banquet in the world. Kou Ziqing’s torment finally ended. Others left one after another. The city lord left Kou Ziqing and chatted with him alone for a while. The city lord’s tone all hinted that Kou Ziqing could truly become an official. Kou Ziqing was vague. The resignation made the city lord curse his head secretly.

"His Royal Highness, I'm going to take Feng back to the village. Actually, I have something to do with you."

Kou Ziqing talked about the transformation of the shrine. This kind of thing does not involve the interests of the city lord and nobles. The city lord naturally has no opinion that he will communicate with the temple and the shrine soon, so that they can be qualified and even recorded in the Myojin account. .

Japan was a law-based country in the Heian period. In the middle of the Heian period, Emperor Daigo ordered Fujiwara Tokihiro to compile a set of laws and regulations, the "Enkishi", which has detailed regulations on official systems and rituals.Two of the volumes are called "Myojinjo", and all the shrines recorded on it are Shiinaisha, on the contrary they are called Shiwaisha.
