"Masa Inaba, when were you bought by Hojo and Ashikaga Yoshihei?" Ashikaga Yoshio suppressed the unwillingness and anger surging in his heart, and asked.

"You don't need to know, anyway, the people I will serve in the future will still be members of the Ashikaga family." Masa Inaba's tone was flat.

"You have always been safe, I don't believe you are the kind of person who will betray me." Ashikaga Yoshio gritted his teeth, "I trust you so much."

"...I don't want to serve you anymore." Masa Inaba's tone changed, "I always hoped that you could become a more decent general. You are so arrogant, always self-centered, and have a bad temper , and someone who is not smart enough, why hasn't there been any change until now?"

"...Is this what you look like in my heart?"

"Kick your shoes away when you're drunk, and ask your retainers to pick them up and put them on in public. Only you can do such a thing."

Ashikaga Yoshio lost his voice. He flipped through his memory, and it seemed that there was such a thing, but Inaba didn't express any anger at that time.

"You have always been like this." Inaba was standing behind Ashikaga Yoshio, and he couldn't see his expression, but continued, "You treat everyone like this, so there is no one who likes you. Even God Zhinv is still alive, she will not save you."

"..."

Inaba was looking at the silent Ashikaga Yoshio, and said: "Do it yourself, the world will know that you committed seppuku because of shame, and you can get a good reputation. I will cut you off immediately after you cut seppuku head, it won't leave you much pain."

"...It seems that no one wants to bear the reputation of killing me."

"If you don't do it, someone will."

"is it you?"

"Correct."

Ashikaga Yoshio picked up the gleaming short knife, his hand trembled so that he could not hold it steady, the short knife slipped from his palm and fell on the wooden tray, "Inaba, you have been my best friend for so many years. Trusting vassal, now that I know that I am not a qualified general, I regret—"

Inaba was not moved at all, "I don't need to say anything about repentance, it's just because the knife is on your neck that you can say such things."

Inaba paused for a moment, and he sneered, "Perhaps you said yesterday that I might still be moved by you."

"..." Ashikaga Yoshio's five fingers were forcibly broken apart by Inaba, and the short knife was firmly inserted into Ashikaga Yoshio's hand by Inaba, and Inaba said softly, "Don't drop it this time, General."

"No! I don't want to die!"

At this juncture, Ashikaga Yoshio burst into tears, "I am a general, how could you do this to me!"

Ashikaga Yoshio threw out the dagger in his hand, and the dagger slashed a long way on the tatami, until it touched the screen before stopping.He violently pushed Inaba away, ran towards the door, and rushed towards the direction where there were few people in a panic.

"Catch him." Inaba ordered, he was not worried that Ashikaga Yoshio would escape, and now the entire General's Mansion has become Ashikaga Yoshio's prison.

Ashikaga Yoshio ran wildly and shouted the names of his retainers, but no one responded.All the doors in the general's mansion were closed, and there was no one for him to hide in.

He heard the chasing sound coming from behind him, and his heart seemed to be sinking into the mud as desperately, he shouted:

"Heavenly Conscientious Girl, didn't you say that you would save my life if I reached a point where no one could rely on me? Where are you now?! Come and save me! I'll give you everything!"

He shuttled through the main house, not daring to run to the open courtyard. He saw a door open a gap, and without thinking too much, he opened it and hid in, and closed the sliding door.

This is Mrs. Bai's room. Yoshio Ashikaga saw the empty room with the help of the moonlight outside. Mrs. Bai was not here. Her coat was hanging on the screen. The room looked tidy, which was at odds with the panic outside.

Where did Baidie go?Does she stay with other people?Or was it captured by Inaba?

Several conjectures flashed through Ashikaga Yoshio's mind, but he had no time to take care of Mrs. Bai, thinking of finding a place to hide quickly.

Because Mrs. Bai's room was neat and clean, Yoshio Ashikaga did not find an easy place to hide. He walked towards the opposite side of the entrance and walked into the courtyard facing Mrs. Bai's room.

Because of his love for Mrs. Bai, the scenery and location of the courtyard facing Mrs. Bai's room are very good, looking far-reaching and delicate.

But at this moment, Yoshio Ashikaga only hated his servants for cutting the weeds so cleanly that he had no place to hide.

Under the faint moonlight, he saw a butterfly with blue wings, which was sitting on the well under the red maple, and there was a thin layer of moss on the well.The red leaves fall on the pavilion above the well, which is a scene of the courtyard.

Ashikaga Yoshio felt that the butterfly stopped by the well and looked inexplicably weird, and approached the well in a strange way.

The surrounding of the well was very clean. When he looked around, he saw black tentacles emerging from the well and entangled him.The tentacle even covered Ashikaga Yoshio's mouth for the first time, preventing him from screaming in horror.

At the same time, Masa Inaba's men opened the sliding door of Mrs. Bai's room, only to see the empty living room. They turned around the screen and looked towards the far-reaching courtyard.

The red leaves are falling, and the ancient well is dark.

They paused for a while before leaving Mrs. Bai's room.

"Woooooooo!" Ashikaga Yoshio uttered an inarticulate cry that grew louder as he fell down the well.

"..." Taki Wakaba looked at Ashikaga Yoshio who was jumping anxiously in front of him, and decided to let go of his hand later.

Taki Wakaba listened to the movement above her head, and waited for the searchers to leave the courtyard before controlling the vines and leaving Ashikaga Yoshio.At the same time she lit a torch, illuminating the neighborhood and her face.

"A woman of heavenly knowledge?! Aren't you dead?!" Ashikaga Yoshio blurted out, and asked in surprise and joy.

"It's the first time I've seen you look so happy." Taki Wakaba didn't laugh at Ashikaga Yoshio when he saw his embarrassed look.

Ashikaga Yoshio felt that Taki Wakaba in front of him was very kind, and even showed his hospitality very naturally, "You are indeed supernatural, I believe the rumors outside, I really shouldn't."

Ashikaga Yoshio looked around while talking, with Taki Wakaba's torch, he could only see the narrow area around his feet, surrounded by darkness, and the soft and pleasant sound of water.

This well is very deep, but Ashikaga Yoshio did not expect that there is actually an underground river under the well, facing the mouth of the well.

"This is really strange." Ashikaga Yoshio thought that the underground tunnel was formed naturally, until he followed Taki Wakaba to a tunnel that looked completely artificial.

"...When did you dig the tunnel in my backyard?" Ashikaga Yoshio wanted to ask this question, but he looked at Taki Wakaba in front and didn't dare to ask.

Taki Wakaba was wearing men's clothes, with a high ponytail, leading the way in front.

Yoshio Ashikaga had many questions he wanted to ask him.But this was also the first time Ashikaga Yoshio felt that he was inferior to others, and he didn't know whether it was appropriate for him to ask these questions.

The tunnel is very long, only Taki Wakaba's torch is flickering, and Ashikaga Yoshio follows the torch, which is the only light on his way.

Taki Wakaba didn't speak, and Ashikaga Yoshio didn't speak either. He was recalling what he had done in these years as a general and what his future would be like.Taki Wakaba is the only person who saved him now, but at the same time Ashikaga Yoshio recalled what he did to Taki Wakaba, as if he had forgotten the scene where Inaba was helping him put on his shoes, Ashikaga Yoshio Sheng Sheng realized that what he did may not be a good memory for the person concerned.

The more he thought about it, the more uncertain he was about his future.

"As an unloved general, I really failed." Ashikaga Yoshio laughed at himself, and he looked at Taki Wakaba who turned his head, hoping to get her comfort.

Taki Wakaba looked at the depressed Ashikaga Yoshio, and it was easy to guess what he was thinking. She said, "You finally have self-knowledge."

"..."

Taki Wakaba stopped, and she pointed to the dark front of the tunnel, "Go straight ahead, and you will be able to get out of Kyoto."

"I guess so, Kyoto is occupied by Hojo." Ashikaga Yoshio added a sentence, and he looked at Taki Wakaba's side face illuminated by the fire.Taki Ruoye was wearing men's clothes today, and he looked like a beautiful young man with indistinguishable sex, he couldn't help asking, "Why are you wearing men's clothes today?"

"This is not an important matter." Taki Wakaba said, "We will not go any further."

"what?"

"The General's Mansion is that big, and there are only a few directions for you to escape. This tunnel will soon be discovered by Hojo Naoki. When he finds out that this tunnel leads to the outside of Kyoto, where do you think he will go to find you? "

Ashikaga Yoshio was not stupid, he quickly understood what Taki Wakaba meant, "So you want to hide me in Kyoto?"

"Correct."

"But the tunnel has only one direction, and it's hard to come back after we get outside of Kyoto."

"Let's go out now." Taki Ruoye's torch approached the rock wall above her head.

It was a very ordinary rock wall, which looked solid and rough.

Ashikaga Yoshio saw that the rock wall moved, and he rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken.

The rock wall was covered with a layer of moths. Their body color was no different from the rock wall. If it wasn't for moving, no one would notice the abnormality.

"How come... Moths should jump on the fire when they see it..." Ashikaga Yoshio couldn't help but said.

"Let's go." Taki Ruoye did not explain, removed the obstacle in the passageway above his head, and climbed up.

Ashikaga Yoshio saw that Taki Wakaba climbed up very lightly, like a jumping bird, but when he climbed up by himself, he blushed and couldn't grab the rock wall to climb up.

"..." Ashikaga Yoshio lowered his head under Taki Wakaba's silent gaze.

In the end, it was Taki Wakaba who pulled Ashikaga Yoshio up with vines. Ashikaga Yoshio saw the light again. After adapting, he found that they came to the boiling water of a steam bathhouse, and the exit was disguised as an abandoned row. Vapor port.

Ashikaga Yoshio smelled the strong smell of balsam, and heard the looming women's teasing laughter from all around.

"Young master, please come this way~"

A pleasant voice sounded, and a gorgeously dressed woman came over. She showed her beautiful shoulders, her skin was flawless, six glass hairpins were inserted on her head, and her upturned eyes were beautiful and attractive.

But the alluring gaze only stayed on Ashikaga Yoshio for a while, and then landed on Taki Wakaba.
