I am the strongest Hokage of all time

"Besides, I don't think their target is the princess."

"It's you."

Kiyoshi expressed his inference.

Hiruzen expressed some surprise.

"The target is me?"

Hiruzen thought for a while and then said: "Is it because I severely injured Ye Yue Wang and the Raikage sent people to kill me?"

Qingzhi shrugged and said, "I don't know. Anyway, they have never been close to the princess from beginning to end."

"And you are the only one among us who has some grudge against Yunyin."

Hiruzen felt that Kiyoshi's inference was indeed somewhat possible.

It's just that Raikage shouldn't be so petty.

If he wanted to take action against himself, he probably wouldn't wait until he was as far away as Kitami Castle before taking action.

So, it was the people within Kumogakure who took revenge on their own?

Hiruzen was confused.

Qingzhi said: "Don't think about it, just go to sleep."

Hiruzen nodded and stopped thinking about this.

Early the next morning.

Several people got up one after another and came to the yard after washing.

At this time, the Princess Mansion was already busy.

The property's belongings were loaded onto the carriage box by box.

Most of these were sent by the prince to the princess.

Now I am going to Kyoto with the princess again.

The princess dressed formally and came to a few people and said, "You guys worked hard last night. Please come with me to have breakfast."

"Our things in the house are almost ready."

"We can leave this morning."

Kiyoshi agreed.

It would be safer to start as early as possible. Who knows if more assassins will come if we delay further.

After several people had eaten the breakfast prepared by the chef of Princess Mansion.

Help with loading luggage.

The things to bring are not just gold, silver, silks and silks.

There are also many things that princesses usually use.

All the stuff was enough to fill three carriages.

But in terms of the identity of Lake Biwa.

Three cars of stuff is already considered too little.

Which of the city lords of other cities or the princesses of other princes is not extremely wealthy?

Thirty cars may not be enough for them to load.

Just when everyone is busy.

At this time, a man walked in from outside the princess's house.

Several people stopped what they were doing.

The man looked about fifty.

He has gray temples, his hair is meticulously combed, and he is wearing a large purple official robe.

The man stepped forward and bowed towards Lake Biwa.

Then he bowed slightly to Hiruzen and the others and said, "I, Aomori Miki, am the administrator of Kitami Castle."

Aomori Miki has always been the prince's political assistant.

After being named Princess Kitami at Lake Biwa, she came to Kitami Castle with Lake Biwa.

Hiruzen and his party also bowed to Aomori Mitsuki.

Aomori Mimu said.

"Please also protect the princess."

"I heard that assassins attacked the princess mansion last night, but they were repulsed by you and the Shadows."

"If we encounter assassins on the way, I hope you can keep the princess safe."

Kiyoshi said: "Don't worry, Aomori-dono, we will protect the princess to the death."

"That would be great." Aomori bowed again.

Then Aomori Miki came to Biwako and handed her a letter.

"Your Royal Highness, this is a personal letter to you from Your Highness. He asked me to bring you a message."

"Biwako, you know that my father is in bad health and I can't come to Kitami Castle to see you. You have to take care of yourself when you go to the capital. Remember to write to me often."

When Biwahu heard this, his eyes immediately became wet.

Choking with sobs, he said, "I understand, Uncle Aomori."

"I can no longer serve as an administrator, and I cannot accompany you to Kyoto. Your Highness, the Princess, must take care of yourself."

Aomori Mimu said.

The daimyo ordered Aomori Miki to be transferred back to Nayose Castle where the prince was.

It's called taking care of the prince.

In fact, it further weakened the prince's power.

Aomori sees the wood and bids farewell to Lake Biwa.

Lake Biwa grew up under the care of Aomori Miki since she was a child.

The relationship between the two is no less than the relationship between a father and his daughter.

Hiruzen originally thought that the princess and the administrator must be fighting overtly and secretly for fame and fortune.

But only now did I realize that the relationship between these two people was so deep.

After saying goodbye to Mimu in Aomori and Lake Biwa.

The Lake Biwa group set off.

Hiruzen and others were guarding the carriage at Lake Biwa.

A group of four carriages.

The princess's carriage walked in front.

There were ten guards in front of the carriage.

There were also many guards beside the carriage.

Altogether, there were almost thirty guards.

Lake Biwa also brought several personal maids with her.

Several people from the Shadow Crowd followed the team.

Apart from that there is no one around.

A group of people left the city in great force.

After the people in the city knew it was the princess's carriage.

They all stepped forward to block the way.

I beg Biwako to stay in Kitami Castle.

Lake Biwa got off the carriage.

Know people with affection and move them with reason.

Explain that you can't go against the Daimyo's request.

It's not that I don't want to stay, it's that I can't stay.

The people then reluctantly let the group of people go away.

The other people all sighed after learning about this.

The good days are gone after just a few years.

No one can accept this.

However, these people have long been accustomed to this.

Since we can't change, we can only let nature take its course.

The people are always so obedient.

But these rulers never take the initiative to understand these obedient people.

This has become the norm in this world.

The group continued to move towards Kyoto.

After going out of town.

Hiruzen got into the princess' carriage with a book in hand.

Hiruzen said to Biwako.

"Biwa Lake, this is some knowledge about chakra extraction methods and healing techniques."

"You can take a look first, and I'll teach you later when we're not on the road at night."

Biwako agreed, took the book and looked through it.

Hiruzen then got out of the car.

Continue to guard the safety of the princess beside the carriage.

After experiencing yesterday's assassination.

Several people's nerves were very tense.

Afraid of the enemy attacking again.

Kyoto is located in the center of the Land of Fire, southwest of Kitami Castle.

Walking in the direction of Kyoto from Kitami Castle, the nearest city is Rikubetsu Castle.

Rikubetsu Castle and Kitami Castle are not far apart, about forty or fifty kilometers.

The group stopped to rest at noon.

The princess prepared food for everyone.

Hiruzen took the plum rice ball handed to him by the guard.

Peel off the outer bamboo leaves and eat.

While eating, he said: "At this speed, I don't know if we can make it to Lubie City tonight."

Kiyoshi said: "Maybe not before dark."

"Perhaps we can arrive two or three hours after dark."

"We try our best not to spend the night in the wild."

"It's always safer in the city."

Hiruzen nodded in agreement.

Hiruzen and others started chatting.

Eat the dry food prepared by the princess and swallow it with water.

At this time, Hiruzen noticed a convoy coming from a distance behind the road.

Hiruzen reminded Kiyoshi to look behind him.

Qingzhi turned around and said, "This should be a caravan. We may have to make way."
