I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

Chapter 173: A Journey of Killing and Fuck

"I hate myself so much, I hate myself for being so cowardly! What can a coward like me protect? Power, power! I need more power ah ah ah - Oh my god, make me strong! Oh my god, if you still love the earth and your children, please give me the power to defeat Beidou Xinwei!"

The beautiful girl in front of him was going crazy, which was normal for a girl of her age. Of course, Beidou Xinwei didn't find her annoying. For one thing, she was beautiful.

On the one hand, the other party can afford to play, and basically doesn't have a "you have to give in" attitude—competition relies on fists, and whoever loses is the younger brother! How the hell is this my wife? This is my beautiful girl brother who I can vent my sexual desires on! For example, this time, he returned the famous sword "Dojikiri Yasuna" to Beidou Xinwei in tears.

Regardless, with Oda Nobuhime's cries, Hokuto Nobuyoshi would from now on be known as Genji Hokuto Settsu no Kami Nobuyoshi. Considering the possibility that he might become a monk or make everyone his own due to political opinions or robbery, there was no telling how long his name would become.

Beidou Xinwei drove the green light all the way, without taking anyone else with him, and went to western Japan alone on horseback to become a freeloader. The journey was truly a living hell - a good start for all those who want to travel back to the Warring States period in Japan.

Even high-ranking officials rarely flaunt their wealth. Beidou Xinwei's horse had caused him endless trouble. On the bumpy mountain roads, Beidou Xinwei had already killed three waves of local bandits—bandits, really, just because they saw the majestic horse he rode. There was even a farmer, a knight named Luo Wushi, who, on a whim, wanted to kill Beidou Xinwei and steal his horse.

Generally speaking, these farmers were based on hunting down defeated samurai. After a major battle, the organized troops were broken up, and the samurai fled in despair. The locals would not let go of these samurai who were usually arrogant and might have organized an army to plunder them a few days ago. They would kill them all and take everything! The highest achievement of the "Falling Samurai Hunter" was killing a local leader. That leader was called...

Mitsuhide Akechi.

However... when it comes to Beidou Xinwei, it's a bit like being blinded by a duck, which is totally unnecessary.

"Clatter! Cracker—shopkeeper! Shopkeeper!"

The straight-line distance from Kuno Castle to Kyoto is 110 kilometers, a distance that involves crossing mountains, rivers, and seas, and walking through seas of people. Adding in the time it takes to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, and sleep, and then there's the ultimate waste of time—killing time. Beidou Xinwei had just arrived in the Omi region after a day's journey on horseback.

Wars weren't common in the Rokkaku clan's territory. Beidou Xinwei didn't know where he was going until he saw an inn. As it was getting dark, he went inside.

"Hayihayi, sir, thank you for taking so long...ah!" A proprietress in her thirties walked out of a street-side inn. A middle-aged woman with an average figure, an average face, and no makeup. Upon seeing Beidou Xinwei, she exclaimed in surprise. Her exclamation also attracted the attention of several other staff members in the room.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Madam Boss, you...oh..."

It was unclear whether they were startled or equally shocked. After seeing Beidou Xinwei's appearance, several kitchen staff dressed in shorts rushed out from the Cebu kitchen, holding kitchen knives, but they all exclaimed and shut their mouths.

"Sir...Sir...we just paid the tax yesterday..." The proprietress calmed herself down and pulled her clothes hard, hoping to reveal some of her white chest.

"I'm not here to ask you to pay taxes. I'm resting here." Beidou Xinwei said as he turned over and got off the horse.

He had originally been traveling in casual clothes, but within a few steps of leaving Owari, he was robbed twice. He had no choice but to put on armor, but was still robbed! But at least he was on combat readiness. Taking off his helmet, Beidou Xinwei revealed his face.

The proprietress, who was trembling all over, stopped trembling instantly and just started shaking her breasts.

"Take good care of my horse," Beidou Xinwei said as he handed the reins to the man in front of him. "It understands human nature. I've prepared the beans next to its neck. Don't worry about it. It will open and take out enough to eat by itself."

"Ah?" The clerk was startled, and his hand holding the horse's reins loosened. Beidou Xinwei's horse frowned, snorted, and bit his reins to put them on the clerk's head. Then he walked into the stable and closed the stable door with his hind legs. He put his front legs on the trough, and swung his head back and forth to indicate that the hay on the side should be put into the trough. His horse's teeth were nimble, biting and releasing the food bag tied around his neck. He spilled half of the soybeans in the bag into the trough - after making up the weight, the horse bit the bag and handed it to the clerk, indicating that he should tie the bag back to the reins around his neck.

This scene left everyone in a trance for about a minute.

It's normal. When Oda Nobuhime saw this scene for the first time, she was so envious that her saliva was almost flowing out of her cracks.

"Hello... Hello! Hello!!!" Beidou Xinwei Dasheng shouted a few words to the proprietress before the other party responded.

"Ah? Ah! Sir and sir—" Using a double honorific, the proprietress bowed deeply and said, "Please come in, please come in—what would you like to eat?"

"Just give me something to eat."

"Yes, sir...ah! - the blood on you..." After walking in, the proprietress found that Beidou Xinwei's armor was covered with blood.

Although the peasants who tried to ambush him were pitiful, Beidou Xinwei didn't spare any of them and chopped them all off! This blood, of course, belonged to others.

"Prepare the bath water." Beidou Xinwei said nothing. "The last few waves of people tried to rob me, and I killed them all! I hope there won't be such blind people in the future."

"!!" A group of guys lowered their heads, and their greedy eyes that were just burning became dull in an instant. Regardless of whether they were pretending or not, in short, Beidou Xinwei was an artistic master and bold, and had no ideas.

Anyone who wants to kill you will turn into a red bar.

After crossing over, in addition to sparring, Beidou Xinwei did not let go of any guy who dared to turn into a red name in front of him.

Sure enough, there was no poison or drug administered that day. Beidou Xinwei prepared two quilts (one was not long enough) and went to sleep—and then.

"Ding-dang-dang! Ding-dang-dang—Sir, are you asleep?"

Japanese people keep the track!

night!

climb!

It's a pity that Beidou Xinwei doesn't like the appearance of this proprietress at all, otherwise he might just accept it. However...all the women of marriageable age in the whole village crawled into my room tonight. Isn't that a bit too much!

Chapter 174 Beijing Man

Beidou Xinwei took the route from Mino to Omi. When he was alone, he took the journey with a peaceful and touristic mindset.

Prepare for the future march to Luoyang! Record everything you see and hear along the way, how to march more advantageously along the way, and the mountain and river maps—

He didn't write any of it down.

As he walked, he opened the small and large maps in the lower right corner of the Total War system and memorized all the terrain along the way. He could call them up at any time if he wanted to "see" them. Basically, this trip can be described in three words.

Trip! Land! Map!

Of course, there were many unexpected things in the process - Beidou Xinwei didn't notice it when it was at a high position, but only discovered it when it really went down to the grassroots level.

There are bad people among the people.

"Yawn..." Last night, Beidou Xinwei kicked out a bunch of unassuming, unattractive-looking women who... ahem! shouldn't have made moral mistakes.

There is nothing we can do about these women climbing at night.

A young, wealthy man arrived. Anyone with eyesight in Japan could tell he looked like a small, proto-human. Even if they were offered change afterward, these women would still do it! Years of war had left the village teeming with widows, if not everywhere, at least shoulder to shoulder. Night crawling was primarily a practice used by widows seeking sperm, or by men infertile families seeking to borrow sperm. Or, when too many men had died and women were struggling to find husbands, it became a desperate measure.

Are you envious? But if there are only a few men left, the vast majority of men are the denominator. If they can't enjoy this kind of happiness, they will be gone. The vast majority of those who "enjoy" this kind of happiness are either draft dodgers or breeding machines with only their limbs missing. Even worse: Blue Boy

The blue boys who are still children are either forced to do something like "a cow doesn't drink water" or "pull up the seedlings to help them grow." Teenagers or even boys in their early teens—from tonight on, the women in this village are all yours! It doesn't matter if they are your favorite or not.

"Alas... what's the point of this?" Beidou Xinwei, after donning his armor, set out on his journey again. Last night, after he had rejected many women, the faint sound of a blue boy crying could be heard in the village. It didn't matter; he wasn't here to save fallen women and teenagers. In the chaotic world of the Warring States, there would always be a new season's gameplay to suit the current situation. It wouldn't be good for him to get involved too much—

"Didn't they say the Rokkaku family was relatively stable?" During his lunch break, Beidou Xinwei arrived at his loyal Settsu Province. This was the capital of Japan during the Warring States Period. A shabby teahouse stood by the roadside, providing a temporary resting place for passersby. Beidou Xinwei glanced at the outskirts of Kyoto, which was already faintly visible in the distance, and asked the old man who was tending the teahouse, "Why do I seem to be walking along..."

"Alas... sir, you're not from Omi Province, are you?" the old man sighed, bringing a plate of radish, a bowl of miso soup, and a bowl of barley rice to Hokuto Nobuyuki. Then he opened up, recounting, "Forty years of constant war, these past two years have been the best. If you had come three years ago, sir, there wouldn't have been a single soul around here. The Rokkaku family... under Lord Sadanori, the Rokkaku family was shogun of the west and invaded the Asai region to the east. Unfortunately, after Lord Rokkaku Yoshitaka ascended the throne, the Asai family became independent again. Internal strife broke out within the Rokkaku family, and the once relatively stable Omi... Omi Province itself was in trouble..."

After delivering his barely edible meal to Beidou Xinwei, the old man began his usual chatterbox mode. His wrinkled face remained expressionless, his eyes veiled in something that seemed to blind him to hope. "I don't know... when this chaotic world will end. When I was little, my grandfather told me that the world was much better during his grandfather's time. Somehow, the higher-ups suddenly... Sorry, my guest. Please don't blame me for my unrefined words and simple meals..."

"...No, you're quite right." Ordinary people were essentially just ordinary people, and ordinary people couldn't survive in a chaotic era like the Warring States period. In other words, the vast majority of ordinary people were ordinary people struggling on the brink of death.

That's pretty good. If it's more extreme, not only will you not be an ordinary person, you will also become ordinary military rations.

"Your words make sense. The world must get better. And one day it will get better, no matter how far away it is, like a wisp of smoke from a dying bonfire. We've traveled thousands of miles just for this day to come sooner."

The old man stared blankly at the receding figure of the unusual warrior.

He had seen many people in his life, some more handsome than him, and plenty of pretty boys; and while tall and handsome like him were not uncommon, he was not the only one. But this was the first time he had ever seen someone with such a handsome and majestic appearance.

"Oh, it would be nice if this day really came true." The old man cleared the bowl and chopsticks and the ten coins the other party had given him, and said as if muttering to himself, "Not everyone is so lucky to live in a peaceful era."

------------------

Beidou Xinwei entered Kyoto.

Other places are called castle towns, but Kyoto is known as Heian-kyō—a city that has long since changed beyond all recognition. Several wars and fires nearly destroyed the Imperial Palace. The houses rebuilt on the site no longer resemble the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty, nor do we see the youthful, miniature, urban sports version of Chang'an.

A few patrolling soldiers gloomily swept up the dead. The vast outer reaches of Kyoto had been reduced to utter ruins, or perhaps an ambush site for those with ulterior motives. Beidou Xinwei had clearly sensed an ambush as he walked through the ruins, but he probably considered it, believing he couldn't defeat it, and so he decided not to act.

The guys in Kyoto are indeed more knowledgeable than the country bumpkins. Even when it comes to robbery, they know who they can and cannot mess with.

It is only about one tenth of its original size, and is surrounded by the Shogun's Nijo Castle, the residences of the nobles and the Emperor's Palace. The streets are dilapidated but still popular. Beidou Xinwei can actually see some lively scenes when he walks through several commercial streets, but it also looks dilapidated in the overall environment.

It looks very much like Dongbai before the time travel.

Ambitious nobles had already left Kyoto to seek other livelihoods, even working as patrons for local daimyo was preferable to starving here. However, some locals preferred to stay here even if they had to go hungry. The best off were the nobles within the system, who could still profit somewhat. However, with all industries in decline and the population declining, the prosperity of this place would never return unless the world changed.

Of course, Beidou Xinwei's outfit is actually quite explosive in the eyes of the knowledgeable Mr. Jing.

Soon, the patrolling soldiers set their sights on him.

Money.

Chapter 175 The Dragon Roars! —Hiccup

It's clear that the timeline of this world has changed. For more than a decade, the Ashikaga Shogunate, as the leader, has repeatedly fought against its younger brother, the Hosokawa family. The key is that the Shogunate, as the leader, has always lost.

After losing the battle, Ashikaga Yoshiharu fled to the Rokkaku clan in Omi, where Hokuto Nobuyoshi had just arrived. Under the supervision of Rokkaku Sadanori, the then-surviving leader, Ashikaga Yoshiharu abdicated in favor of the young Ashikaga Yoshiteru—the current shogun. He earned the nickname "Swordsman Shogun," a no-brainer. A strong kūbō (Kūbō) is a term for a noble family, or a ruler, specifically referring to the shogun's family or a descendant of the shogun's bloodline.

Rokkaku Sadanori personally presided over the Eboshi Ceremony for Ashikaga Yoshiteru—the equivalent of the Chinese "coming of age" ceremony, known as Genfuku in Japan. This ceremony signified the person's formal coming of age and the acquisition of adult rights. Rokkaku Sadanori and Ashikaga Yoshiteru became "Eboshi-kin," essentially godfathers. Ashikaga Yoshiteru was the 13th Shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.

The previous shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiharu, issued a nationwide telegram announcing his resignation, relegating himself to the position of powerless emeritus emperor. Of course, it wasn't called that, but rather the "Ogosho"—the title later bestowed upon himself by Tokugawa Ieyasu upon his retirement. Through the mediation, coercion, and inducements of Rokkaku Sadanori, the Hosokawa clan managed to save face and reach a settlement with the Ashikaga clan, and Ashikaga Yoshiteru returned to Kyoto with his father.

The story is not over yet. After Rokkaku Sadanori took his hands off the keyboard and typed GG and died, the Hosokawa family went to war again and assassinated Miyoshi Nagayoshi, the head of the Miyoshi family. Miyoshi Nagayoshi, who survived the disaster, led his army to defeat the Hosokawa family and dominate the capital - AOE almost killed the emperor and the shogun. The Shogun fled again, and the Ogosho Ashikaga Yoshiharu died directly in the exiled Rokkaku family. Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Miyoshi Nagayoshi reached a compromise, giving Miyoshi Nagayoshi the real power of the shogunate, and then returned to Kyoto to reopen the shogunate. Five years have passed since then -

Until now, March 1553.

Beidou Xinwei arrived in Kyoto. It was much better than the Miyoshi Rebellion, the Hosokawa Rebellion, the Rokkaku Rebellion, and the Shogun's flight. There were soldiers patrolling the streets.

"Who are you?" A few ragged soldiers, armed with long spears, confronted a man wearing similarly tattered samurai attire, but sporting a black-horned hat. He looked like a government official. He was about 1.40 meters tall, and the combined height of the men barely reached an average of 1.5 meters. He looked sallow, thin, and malnourished, yet he looked truly awful, hoping to make a killing.

"What are you doing in Kyoto? Whose spy are you?!"

"...Get lost." Beidou Xinwei glanced at the other party and was too lazy to argue with him, so he just said one word lightly.

"Hey." The warrior opposite also showed a disdainful smile and said, "I know why you are here - you came to Kyoto from the countryside to seek an official position, right?"

"Hmm?" Beidou Xinwei was puzzled. Is Jingye's vision so quick, accurate and ruthless? "You knew that and you still tried to stop me?"

"Nonsense, what am I supposed to eat if I don't stop you?" The warrior curled his lips and held out his hand, saying, "You've come from out of town to seek an official position, but you don't want to cause trouble, do you? I'm lying here trying to blackmail you to death, so what kind of official position are you seeking?"

"Wow, it's really easy to see the King of Hell, but the little devil is so hard to deal with?" Beidou Xinwei suddenly smiled playfully, looking up and down at the 1.4-meter-tall man in front of him. The man's eyes were amused and scornful, as if chatting with a Japanese kid. His smile was also quite sunny, a bit like the kind of person who doesn't hit anyone who smiles.

"You're absolutely right, but I'm not just any brat." The warrior with the black horn hat dusted himself off and introduced himself: "I'm Takagi Harusato—the commander of the samurai family. If you want to see the general, you have to go through me."

"Hmm...?!" Beidou Xinwei was stunned for a moment, then stared intently at the other person's pale, skinny figure: "You... are from the Wushe family?"

"Yes, I am." The other man said with a look of arrogance, then sighed: "I know you don't believe me, but it doesn't matter. I can take you to my home. You country warriors have nothing but money; I have nothing but this official position that I was born into. We each take what we need... But how about some money first?"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"...We're running out of rice. Could you please give me some money to buy a few kilos of rice?"

"..." Beidou Xinwei took a deep breath, pouted, and muttered, "A fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. No one cares about the emperor's funeral. Okay, let's do a good deed today."

Beidou Xinwei immediately felt a bit of pity when he saw the person in front of him - the problem was that there were so many people on the street.

"What are you doing!" Just when Beidou Xinwei was about to spend a few dollars to get rid of these beggars in front of him, suddenly a delicate voice came from beside him.

Beidou Xinwei looked over and saw a black-haired girl in samurai attire standing in the distance. With her left hand, she led a horse, and with her right hand, she pointed at Beidou Xinwei—at the soldiers before her.

"In broad daylight, under the feet of the emperor, you dare to act wildly!" The black-haired girl took a few quick steps, the fire of justice burning in her eyes. She came in front of Beidou Xinwei and said, "What? You want to bully me?"

"..."

Beidou Xinwei looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him and was also shocked.

Where are you? You're the one who came out? Of course, she looks not only beautiful, but also heroic! Of all the women Beidou Xinwei has ever seen, the one with the most fiery eyes! Her "stubbornness" is as strong as Kikyo, and her "rush" is even stronger than Xinji. She's reckless and oblivious to the world around her. And—just by looking at her posture, you can tell she's a master.

It's not just a silly, innocent person who is trying to get ahead.

"Who are you? A country warrior too?" Takagi Haruri waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned with the other's scolding. "Get out of the way and get in line! If you want to bribe me... you'll be next in line. I have a meal today! You, come back tomorrow and bring at least one kan of coins! Any less won't do!"

"Huh?" The girl was stunned, then said angrily in a Japanese dialect she didn't know where, "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you pretend to be a member of the Five Regents? How can the Shogun run the shogunate with people like you? How dare you openly demand a bribe!"

The girl stood in front of Beidou Xinwei and turned around and said, "Don't be afraid! How could such a villain be a member of the Wushe family?"

I think he is from the Wushe family.

"Um... who are you?" Beidou Xinwei looked at the girl in front of him. Judging from their eyes, they seemed to have a good rapport. "I am Beidou Settsu no Kami Xinwei, and you are..."

"Oh? Are you the recently famous Beidou Xinwei?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded frequently: "I am Uesugi Nyudo Kenshin! Greetings to Beidou Settsu no Kami."

Chapter 176 Military God Girl

Kenshin Uesugi, a 25-year-old woman, is nicknamed the Goddess of War and the Dragon of Echigo! She's the main fighter in all the fierce battles in and around Echigo. All of her retainers, whether they've been beaten by her or by her, have always commented: "She's a little silly, but she's incredibly strong!"

Miss Uesugi Kenshin's mind is hard to describe; throughout the entire Japanese Warring States period, it was a unique example of a scorpion's shit. A more complex explanation would be too complex, requiring a deeper understanding of her upbringing. But simply put, this young woman has always been incredibly stubborn. She unwaveringly believes in justice, a time-tested righteous idealist. When reality collides with her ideals, idealists often end up with a bloody collision.

For example, during the Japanese Warring States period, everyone fought casually, just for show. They didn't expect any real results. A single incompetent soldier led to a haphazard general. Bosses didn't expect their subordinates to slack off, and subordinates didn't expect their bosses to work hard. When the casualty ratio reached 2%, victory was almost certain; at 5%, the "fierce battle" was over.

The Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima is a clear example of this. Afterward, both sides counted their casualties down to the last digit. The Takeda army, with 20,000 men, suffered over 4,500 killed and over 12,000 wounded, a casualty rate of 88 percent. The Uesugi army, with 12,000 men, suffered over 3,100 wounded and 6,000 wounded, a casualty rate of 72 percent. Both sides suffered a fundamentally unacceptable level of casualty.

Ah, of course, but back to the point. The ferocity of the clash shocked the entire nation of Japan at the time. Both sides essentially lost the battle, but there was one victor: the ultimate freeloader of the Japanese Warring States period! The God of Freeride! Luck came (and went) and it couldn't be stopped! I don't know what happened, but I won! —Oda Nobuhime.

But that was all later. Now, Miss Uesugi Kenshin, known as the Dragon of Echigo, was at a different stage in her life. Ever since the Third Battle of Kawanakajima, her fame had soared—and then, feeling the wind had died down and the rain had cleared, Miss Uesugi felt herself up again. So, she secretly journeyed to Kyoto alone.

The Uesugi family is currently in chaos, with everyone frantically searching for their beautiful boss. Where did she teleport to?
