The Myriad Worlds Gu Zun

As Hirakawa Taisho left, the tense atmosphere dissipated immediately.

Oda Heizo didn't want to stay for a moment, so he pulled Zhou Ming onto the carriage and told Matsui Kyoshin, who had been waiting here, to drive away.

"It's still early, why don't we go around Kyoto?" Zhou Ming suggested.

Oda Heizo looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously, his eyes full of distrust as if to say, I think you're up to no good.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's that look in your eyes? You can distrust Matsui, but you don't trust me?"

"... I trust Matsui very much." Oda Heizo wanted to say this, but unfortunately he didn't dare to say it in the end.

"Then... go for a walk?" Matsui Kyoshin, who was driving, asked cautiously.

"Go, go, go, go for a walk." Oda Heizo said unhappily.

Matsui Kyoshin shrank his neck, not daring to speak anymore, watching his nose and his heart, driving with all his heart.

The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling, Zhou Ming looked at the scenery outside the window with great interest.

Compared with Koriyama Castle, Kyoto has a different scenery.

It is more prosperous than Koriyama Castle, with a larger population and more developed business. The pedestrians, peddlers and hawkers have different clothes, mixed with various accents, cuts, jargons and dialects, which is quite lively.

"It seems that the gathering of all the daimyo in Kyoto this time has indeed made Kyoto City much more lively."

The driver, Matsui Kyonobu, finally couldn't help but speak and couldn't help but sigh.

"Matsui, have you been to Kyoto before?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"Of course, I have followed you for many years and escorted you to Kyoto many times. Every time it was safe and sound, and there has never been an accident." Matsui Kyonobu said proudly.

"Stop talking nonsense! If there was an accident, I wouldn't be here today!" Oda Heizo glared and shouted.

Matsui Kyoshin quickly shut up and continued to practice his closed-mouth Zen.

"Kyoto, the center of Tosho Island, if there is chaos here, the world will be in chaos."

Thinking of the world's daimyo gathered in Kyoto and Nohara Momonosuke who was about to die, Zhou Ming couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Among the daimyo, is there anyone who needs special attention?"

Hearing Zhou Ming's question, Oda Heizo was slightly stunned, and then said: "Yes, the strongest one."

Zhou Ming: "..."

"Who is the strongest one?"

"The one who deserves the most attention!"

Clang!

Zhou Ming drew his sword.

"Just a joke, just a joke." Oda Heizo waved his hands repeatedly, and only wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead when he knew Zhou Ming put away the sword.

"Among all the daimyo, there is one who is indeed recognized as the most powerful. His name is Tokugawa Sasaka."

"What are his strengths?"

"Every aspect. The land under his rule is fertile, the resources are rich, the population is large, the business is developed, the financial resources are strong, and there are many soldiers and generals..."

"It's really an all-round crush."

"And the most important point is his identity... He is the son of the lord, a biological son."

"What?" Zhou Ming slowly typed a question mark.

"Do you people in Tosho Island also have the system of son-in-law who lives with the door? No, that's not right. What kind of status does Nohara Momonosuke's father-in-law have that he can marry into the family?"

"What is a son-in-law?" Oda Heizo asked with a strange look on his face.

"...Nothing." Zhou Ming shook his head. "You just said his name is Tokugawa Satoshi. Why did he change his surname?"

"Because of his mother." Oda Heizo's expression became serious, and he said: "This matter is not a secret. Neither the king nor Tokugawa Satoshi deliberately covered it up. However, we still don't want to mention it. After all, no one knows whether it will offend the king."

Zhou Ming couldn't wait to urge: "Just tell me!"

Oda Heizo: "..." You are a melon-eating party, right?

"When the king was young, it was a time when many heroes were fighting for supremacy and the world was in chaos. In order to gain more financial and military power, the king married a woman from a prominent family. As expected, he won the support of that big family, accumulated strength step by step, expanded his influence, and finally ended the era of disputes and chaos and unified the entire country."

"It's just that when the king married the daughter of that prominent family, that family made a request that the king's children inherit the family's surname."

"Isn't this still marrying into the family!" Zhou Ming shouted.

"So this is called marrying into the family." Oda Heizo suddenly realized, "Is this what you call it in your hometown, Mr. Zhou?"

"...I guess so." Zhou Ming casually said it over, and then asked, "Then what?"

"It was like that later." Oda Heizo spread his hands.

"What?" Zhou Ming stared.

"Tokugawa family, which family is the Tokugawa family!" Matsui Kyonobu, who was driving, couldn't help but speak again, and his voice came from outside the car.

"Do you believe I will pull out your tongue!" Oda Heizo opened the curtain, reached out and grabbed Matsui Kyonobu's braid and shouted angrily.

"What do you think this place is, Koriyama Castle? This is Kyoto. If you keep talking nonsense, you will lose your head!"

"My lord, it's my fault." Matsui Kyonobu begged for mercy.

Oda Heizo then let go of Matsui Kyonobu's braid, and kicked Matsui Kyonobu in anger.

"The king unified the country, but Tokugawa Sasaka had grown up by then. His name of 'Tokugawa Tiger' had already spread all over the world because of his bravery and fighting skills beside the king over the years. He couldn't change his surname anymore."

"Moreover, the most critical problem is that Tokugawa Sasaka himself didn't want to change his surname. He even had a big quarrel with the king and left in anger."

"Since then, the king gradually alienated his son until he gave him a fiefdom and expelled him from Kyoto to let him develop freely."

"That fiefdom is where the Tokugawa family is located. With the support of a big family, Tokugawa Sasaka's development will naturally go smoothly."

"That's it?" Zhou Ming recalled the story and felt it was very bland and not interesting enough!

There is no ruthlessness in the imperial family, no conflict between royal power and clan, no prince brazenly confronting his father for his wronged mother, and even no basic ethical plot. If this is written into a novel, won't it be a failure?

After expelling the mess in his mind, Zhou Ming continued to ask: "Besides Tokugawa Sasaka? Don't forget that this is the world's first samurai conference. It doesn't matter if the daimyo is strong. It depends on whether the samurai is strong. Are there any powerful samurai that we need to pay attention to?"

"I don't know."

"I don't know?" Zhou Ming's eyes widened, "As a daimyo, you haven't even built an intelligence network to find out information about other daimyo? You can't find out information about your opponents in advance?"

"Intelligence network? What is that? It sounds very powerful. Zhou Jun might as well tell me in detail."

Zhou Ming: "... You are lucky to be alive until now!"

At this moment, the carriage that was driving normally suddenly stopped.

"My lord!" Matsui Kyonobu's voice came from outside with a slight tremor.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ming lifted the curtain and saw that the opposite side of them was blocked by another carriage.

When he saw the family emblem on the carriage, Oda Heizo's eyes widened.

"Whatever you say, it will come true!"

"That's the emblem of the Tokugawa family!"

At this time, the carriage opposite slowly opened the curtain, and the two people sitting in the carriage, a middle-aged man and a young man, were looking at Zhou Ming and the others.

"Oda-kun, long time no see."

In the carriage opposite, the middle-aged man spoke and greeted in a calm tone.

"Tokugawa Sasaka!"

Oda Heizo exclaimed in surprise.
