This means:
"You said that people here are cliques and anti-foreign, and refuse to obey the king. After all this commotion, it turns out that you, the Fujiwara clan, are the biggest rebel leaders?!"
"Well, it's not just our family... the Tachibana family did it too."
Chapter 127 Little Lolita with Straw Hat
Japan's aristocratic politics has a complex system with various forces intertwined.
For example, the Fujiwara clan and the Tachibana clan.
If Fujiwara Momoko hadn't mentioned it, Nanxing would have found it hard to imagine that the two families had such a close connection:
The first husband of Inukai Michiyo was King Menu, and their son was Tachibana Moroe, the ancestor of the Tachibana clan.
Unfortunately, King Menu died young, and Inukai Michiyo later married Fujiwara no Fuhito.
Later, she married Fujiwara no Fuhito and gave birth to a daughter, Ansukuhime.
She later became the empress of Emperor Shomu.
What’s interesting is that Emperor Shomu himself was the grandson of Fujiwara no Fuhito.
Therefore, if we look at it from the perspective of blood relationship, this is actually a union between a nephew and an aunt.
This relationship is really messy.
But for the Fujiwara clan, this also became an important opportunity for them to rise to power.
Fujiwara no Fuhito had five daughters. The eldest daughter was the only wife of Emperor Mommu; the second daughter was the princess consort of Prince Nagaya; the third daughter was the empress of Emperor Shomu; and the fourth daughter was the wife of Tachibana Moroe.
These women from the Fujiwara clan are all important figures who have left a significant mark in history.
As their common mother, Inukai Michiyo created two top families by her own efforts.
During the Heian period, the political struggles among the four families of Fujigen and Taira Tachibana can be seen as her descendants fighting for fame and fortune.
It does have the flavor of Elizabeth I, the "Grandmother of Europe".
But at the same time, it's worth mentioning.
Among Fujiwara no Fuhito's daughters, there seemed to be another daughter who was not as outstanding as her sister.
Instead, he has been living in a muddle until now. Not only has he not made any progress, but he almost can't even afford to wear clothes.
"Hey, I'm pretty good too!"
Fujiwara no Mokou said with some dissatisfaction.
She hates being looked down upon.
Especially the contempt from Nanxing made her feel extremely unhappy.
"Those people... can't even argue for their fathers, what kind of daughters are they?"
She said indignantly.
This was also the first time that Fujiwara Mokou showed her dissatisfaction with her family members in front of Nanxing.
——When Fujiwara no Fuhito failed in his proposal to Kaguya Houraisan and became a laughing stock among the civil and military officials, only Fujiwara no Moko stood up and blocked the Emperor's carriage, wanting to seek justice for her father.
As for what happened later... it was that the irrational Fujiwara no Momoko ate the Penglai medicine that was originally presented to the emperor, and was thus expelled from the Fujiwara clan.
"Well, it's really amazing."
Nanxing praised sincerely.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
Fujiwara no Moko's courage is indeed worthy of praise.
Although her actions brought great disaster to herself, they benefited future generations.
Otherwise, what would happen to an emperor who took the Penglai medicine and became immortal... Nanxing didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
……
That’s all we have to say about the Fujiwara family for now.
And the result of talking for such a long time is... Although the issue of Shinano Province has not been resolved, Nanxing's mood has indeed improved.
"Sure enough, gossiping about other people's family affairs is the fastest way to get pleasure?"
Nanxing thought silently in his heart.
He knew it was wrong, but if there was a next time, he would still listen.
At the same time, on the way back to the temporary camp from the lake, Nanxing suddenly discovered something interesting:
There was a little girl squatting in the meadow by the water, staring at the water intently, fishing for shrimps and frogs with a thin line.
The little girl is not very old. Judging from her figure, she is only about seven or eight years old, which is the age when she is most playful.
And the big straw hat she wore on her head almost covered her forehead. There were two black leaves attached to the edge of the hat, as if there was a pair of eyes on the hat.
This makes this already very cute little Lolita even more funny.
Nanxing thought she was very interesting:
"Little sister."
"Do you know anything about gods?"
Nanxing asked with a smile.
At the beginning, he didn't actually intend to ask anything from the little girl.
But a moment later, something happened that Nanxing didn't expect:
"God?"
The little girl who heard Nanxing's greeting rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a long time... 0
Then, he slapped his forehead suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized something:
"Are you talking about the kind of gods that threaten us with disasters and demand that we offer sacrifices on time, or else they will trigger natural disasters to punish us?"
"Ah, I shouldn't have told you..."
The little girl seemed to be aware of something. She suddenly put her hand over her mouth, with a look of panic on her face.
"My Lord God, I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me."
……
The cute little girl seemed like the purest gem in the world. Even when she apologized, she was so innocent.
But even so, Nanxing didn't let her go.
"Do you know anything about gods?"
"Can you tell me about it?"
"Don't worry, God won't hear it."
Nanxing asked with a smile.
At the same time, two more candies suddenly appeared in his hands.
——This is high-quality merchandise from Edo Castle, and it is his secret weapon to trick Feng.
Now it also plays a huge role on this little Loli.
"Gudu."
Looking at the candy in Nanxing's hand.
The little girl was confused for a long time.
But in the end, I couldn't resist this sweet temptation.
"It's the mountain god!"
She took the candy from Nanxing's hand, and without even tearing off the candy wrapper, she threw it directly into her mouth.
A sweet breath bursts in the mouth.
Let the straw hat little girl's face show a very happy smile:
"The mountain god lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and is in charge of the harvest."
"The adults said that if we offer a seven-year-old girl as a sacrifice to the mountain god every seven years, our village will have a good harvest for seven consecutive years."
"On the contrary, if you don't offer sacrifices, the mountain god will cause disasters."
"I heard that in a nearby village, all the people were burned to death because they did not offer sacrifices to the mountain god on time."
"Well, this is really scary!"
Chapter 128: Love but Not Obtained
About two hours later.
Following the guidance of the little straw hat loli, Nanxing and others found the village that was burned down by fire because of the wrath of the gods.
To be precise, it is the remains of a village.
"It's so tragic."
This was Nanxing’s first impression of the village ruins.
There are about seventy or eighty houses in the village, which can definitely be called a large village in that era.
But now, all these houses have been burned down, leaving only some black wooden frames, silently telling the disaster that once happened in this village.
In addition to this, there are some human-like shadows appearing on some mud walls.
——This is the best evidence that someone was burned to death here.
"What an amazing resentment!"
Nanxing could feel it by closing his eyes.
There was a huge resentment surrounding this burned village that took a long time to dissipate.
If they are left alone, sooner or later, these resentments will condense into a powerful monster.
"Love."
Nanxing called out to the little Yama girl, hoping that she could take action to dissipate the resentment here.
——This can also help her increase her performance so that she can become a regular employee faster.
However, what surprised Nanxing was:
"like?"
The little Yama did not respond for a long time.
Nanxing turned around in confusion—but what he saw was a face that was so hideous that it was almost distorted.
It was the first time he saw such an exaggerated change in expression from Yan Mo Ai.
At the same time, it is even more puzzling.
At this moment, the resentment emanating from Yan Mo Ai is several times stronger than the resentment surrounding these villages!
One man is worth a village?
What's the situation?
……
About two or three minutes later.
As if realizing her own gaffe, Yanma Ai readjusted her expression.
Although it was still a little forced, it was no longer the ferocious expression that almost twisted the face into a knot.
"I do not want."
She still refused to "liberate" these innocent souls.
As for the reason? Even if she didn't say it, Nanxing had already guessed it:
