Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1162

And in the Battle of Suzuka not long ago.

When Yaodao-hime saw that the medical personnel trained by Yamada Ryo's parents were of exceptionally high quality, she couldn't help but be amazed.

"I also heard Lord Yamakaze say that Kyoto might face a very serious crisis again some time from now... perhaps..."

Yingcao became hesitant when she heard the topic of war being brought up.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Yes, not long after, the area surrounding Kyoto will likely face trouble again, and this trouble may not be any less than what Suzuka Mountain brought before."

In reality, it's far more terrifying than Mount Suzuka!

It's at the very back.

Apart from Kyoto, whether the other provinces under the no-ryo system could survive depended entirely on luck.

In short, it was a story about civilians from various places fleeing to Kyoto.

This was the main reason why Kousaka Kyosuke advised Fujiwara no Shikibu's father, Fujiwara no Uchiha, not to go out and become a provincial governor.

"...Is it really that scary?"

"Yes, it is terrifying, but I don't know if you, Yingcao, would be willing to join us, because we will have to face this kind of trouble head-on, and there will likely be a shortage of medical personnel."

Kyosuke Kosaka readily extended an invitation.

After thinking for a long time, he decided to get straight to the point and recruit people.

Ultimately, his purpose was too clear.

Yingcao probably already guessed it.

Even if I didn't guess it, I can't let her keep speculating, can I?

It's better to take the initiative yourself.

"Add, join..."

Yingcao's eyes widened instantly upon hearing what Kousaka Kyosuke said.

Her delicate face showed surprise.

"Yes, I can sense that you possess considerable strength, and having faced war before, you are undoubtedly a very talented individual. Therefore, I hope you will join us. Of course, I won't force you; even if you refuse now, I still hope to remain friends with you..."

Kyosuke Kosaka spoke to Yingcao methodically.

The more he talked, the more at ease he became.

If it's intentional manipulation, he'll definitely feel guilty.

But if he just says it directly like this, he certainly won't feel guilty.

No sooner had Kousaka Kyosuke finished speaking than a firm and excited voice rang out:

"I'll join!"

Yingcao clenched her small fists and stared at Kousaka Kyosuke, as if afraid that Kousaka Kyosuke had made a mistake.

"Kyosuke-sama is a very handsome Onmyoji, both powerful and gentle, a wonderful master!"

"Lord White Wolf is a very majestic wolf, skilled in archery, and exceptionally handsome with a tall and imposing figure. He's incredibly powerful!"

"Lady Yaodao-hime is both handsome and powerful..."

Yingcao really wanted to say what was on her mind all at once.

But when the words came to her lips, she found herself unable to say anything and could only try to speak as concisely as possible.

"Kyosuke, you haven't mentioned the payment yet..."

Seeing that Yingcao agreed without hesitation, Kagura whispered a reminder.

Yingcao, with her keen ears, immediately looked intently at Kagura.

"No reward is needed! Being able to be by the side of Kyosuke-sama, Kagura-sama, Hakuro-sama, Yoto-hime-sama... I am very content!"

Uh, they need to be by my side?

Kyosuke Kosaka's lips twitched slightly; he suddenly sensed that things were going a little awful.

By evening, he still brought Yingcao home.

After all, leaving Yingcao in the manor would feel like a perfunctory gesture towards her.

We'll handle it the same way we did with Yoto Hime and Hakuro.

At most, you just need to be careful when taking a shower or bath.

Since the bathhouse has cubicles and the bathing tubs are U-shaped to separate people, there's usually nothing to worry about if you're careful.

The same thing happened when Enmusubi, Kasumigaoka, and others came before.

So it should be appropriate!

Day 408 of crossing

Kyosuke Kosaka arranged for Hakuro to stay with Yingcao, who had just spent the night there, to familiarize her with the situation in the mansion.

As usual, Yaodaoji went to the manor with Suyi, Sushang and others.

Kousaka Kyosuke himself, like Hakuro and Yingcao, stayed at the mansion, planning to go to the suburbs to observe the situation in the afternoon.

He basically stopped going to the government offices.

Just make your presence felt every now and then; going over too often is pointless.

Ultimately, all those who openly and secretly resisted him in the government office perished in one crisis after another. At this point, there was truly only the voice of Kousaka Kyosuke in the government office.

Then why bother with superficial projects?

If you do your job well, there won't be any problems.

"I have to thank those vassals of Ichiju. With them causing trouble and Minamoto no Yorimitsu getting angry, for a long time no political struggles could affect me..."

Kousaka Kyosuke secretly thought.

To be honest, he has never been interested in politics.

The key is to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.

Because no matter how you look at it, I haven't been in the court for long enough to understand all the rules, both overt and covert.

If any of them is not handled properly, it will cause a lot of trouble, so it's better not to get involved at all.

Although that might prevent his power from expanding further, wouldn't that be just right?

Why be so greedy when you can simply continue to consolidate your existing territory in an orderly manner?

Not to mention that his most important job was to protect Kyoto.

If you mix in other irrelevant things, you'll most likely be warned and reprimanded by the Taoist priest.

This boss clearly treats him like a henchman.

Then let's define this positioning correctly.

good for everyone.

That's what harmony is.

the other side.

The white wolf, who was showing Yingcao around the manor to learn about its situation, was looking very interested.

There was absolutely no sense of loss about staying behind.

As for what the reason is?

That must be related to Kyosuke Kousaka.

Kousaka Kyosuke had promised her that after lunch he would accompany her to practice archery and martial arts.

White Wolf really enjoys this kind of thing.

"Lord White Wolf, do you usually stay here?"

“Yes, ever since I came to find Lord Kyosuke after I took human form, he arranged for me to stay here. However, I spend more time at the manor, and I also go to other places in the suburbs and the yokai market with Yoto Hime on weekdays…”

White Wolf answered Yingcao's question in great detail.

Because she knew very well that she would be on the same team as Yingcao for a long time to come.

Based on White Wolf's understanding of Kousaka Kyosuke, that's how things would likely develop.

"There are so many places."

"You have to go next time, okay? Didn't you say you wanted to cultivate last night?"

"Is it really possible?"

"Both Yaodao-hime and I welcome you to join us."

"Thank you, Lord White Wolf, and Lady Demon Blade. I will cook for you, do your laundry, and take care of you!"

"There's no need for that..."

Upon hearing what Yingcao said, the white wolf blinked.

honestly.
