第118章 鬼杀队战力－1－1－1－1－1……
Kojiro Rengoku, now over fifty, has had his reddish-yellow hair weathered and turned into a fashionable reddish-yellow-white color.
Kojiro continued to pursue his initial goal, but the Fujiwara family was truly difficult to approach, and he couldn't make it too obvious.
The Fujiwara family has always tended to develop its members into civil officials, with few military officials.
Even if you're a military officer, you start as a commander.
Commanders aren't frontline soldiers who need exceptional martial arts skills; just being passable is enough.
Only members of the Fujiwara clan's collateral branches ever learned breathing techniques from Kojiro; none of them were from the direct line.
However, Shijun, the disciple whom Kojiro initially favored, recently received a promotion and came to inform Kojiro of the good news.
Zhichun said with a beaming smile, "Master, I've been promoted."
Kojiro was also happy for this disciple; if he were in the Demon Slayer Corps, he would definitely have taken him in as his stepson.
Kojiro touched his teacup and asked, "Is it the Ninja Annihilation War?"
The Meiji Restoration, which followed the end of the shogunate, promoted Western culture and eliminated ninjas and other outdated elements of the country in order to consolidate its rule and eliminate many ninja clans that had previously cooperated with the shogunate, such as the Uzui and Fuma clans.
"Hmm, those ninjas have a lot of strange and unusual tricks up their sleeves..."
Shizumi Ishida recounted the details of the battle in great detail.
The master and disciple chatted happily.
After recounting the details of the battle, Zhichun seemed a little shy, as if she wanted to say something.
Kojiro: "Is there anything else?"
Zhichun said shyly, "Master, I'm getting married, please come and have a wedding feast."
"A marriage has been arranged? Which family's daughter is it?"
"She is a young lady from the Fujiwara family."
Kojiro understood that the Fujiwara family's traditional skill was arranged marriages, and it seemed that his disciple was currently very popular.
They say that old people become wiser, and old ginger is spicier.
Having lived to this age and survived in the political arena, Kojiro's political intelligence has steadily increased.
When you're young, you don't understand, but when you're old, you can appreciate the unusual meaning behind it.
The court was divided into two factions: one led by Fujiwara, an old aristocratic force, and the other an alliance of emerging nobles.
He could vaguely sense that he was being ostracized; as a fence-sitter who didn't take sides, he was naturally disliked.
Given his status and family background, joining the emerging alliance is a good thing.
The problem is that if he wants to make contact with the Fujiwara family, he can't join them; he can only refuse.
Without sufficient fame and family background, Kojiro was not accepted by established noble families like Fujiwara.
In the eyes of the emerging aristocracy, Rengoku Kojiro was a sycophant who fawned over the old families.
In the eyes of the old aristocracy, Kojiro, whose ancestors were merely commoners, was not worthy of being associated with them.
The Purgatory Family, which has actually been passed down for over five hundred years: ...
"Well, it's time for you to settle down." Kojiro simply smiled and offered his blessings, indicating that he would definitely attend the wedding.
This is also a good opportunity to meet the important figures of the Fujiwara family.

Once the war to exterminate ninjas begins, the ninja clans are naturally doomed.
All the elderly, women, and children who were arrested were executed.
Yuzui Tengen was naturally gone as well.
And the flower column and the insect column.
Throughout the original work, medicine undoubtedly occupies a significant portion of the content, and Shugo naturally developed it vigorously, resulting in the Changqing Hospital becoming the leading medical institution in the country today.
The Butterfly family works in pharmaceutical blending and happens to work under the Evergreen Group.
Without any evil spirits attacking them, the butterfly family naturally lived a peaceful life.
Meanwhile, the original Gyomei of Himejima, the Rock Pillar, had been practicing at a temple and adopting children, with the Evergreen Company providing him with a considerable amount of financial assistance.
Sound, snakes, water, wind, flowers, insects, and rock pillars are either gone or under control.
The Flame Pillars have been owned by the Rengoku family for generations, making them staunch supporters of the Demon Slayer Corps. Shugo is too lazy to bother trying to poach them, as it would easily alert them.
And the youngest of them all is said to be the Mist Pillar.
Let Kokushibo decide who his descendants will be.
The most important thing now is how to appease Muzan when he's angry!
Muzan has disappeared somewhere.

Inside a dojo deep in the mountains, a purple-clad warrior knelt indoors, his six large eyes fixed on the ghost opposite him, exuding an extraordinary aura.
The ghost who came to deliver the intelligence immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"My...descendants?"
Kokushibo read slowly, flipping through the intelligence reports.
The oni who was delivering the information knelt down and said, "Yes, these two brothers are quite capable. Lord Shugo would like to know your opinion on how to deal with them."
Does the country even have descendants?
Did he lose his noble title by making a living by chopping wood?
When Kokushibo saw this, he only felt that life was unpredictable. But when he saw what came next, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Are they brothers?
Tokito, Muichiro, and Tokito, Yuichiro?
Nothingness or existence?
Kokushibo remained silent for a long time, without replying.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the demon beside him tentatively asked, "Lord Kokushibo?"
"...Qualifications?"
"Both brothers are highly talented, but the younger brother, Muichiro, is more talented than his older brother."
Is it another case of the younger brother being better than the older brother?
Kokushibo clenched the paper in his hand.
"Bring the person here."
"Yes."
The ghost breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left.

After researching the life stories of the Pillars, it becomes clear that compared to the other Pillars whose families were destroyed by demons, the Serpent Pillar, Wind Pillar, and Sound Pillar were particularly unfortunate in terms of their origins. Their families were respectively born into families that profited from human suffering, had abusive fathers, and were expected to be ruthless and heartless ninjas.
