Ansho Castle is sixteen miles west of Okazaki, between Okazaki and Kariya. In the academy www.biquge.info of Anxiang City, Oda Nobuhide, who came to the city yesterday, was facing the south window sprinkled with the morning sun, and sang the song "Xuanzong" loudly.

The sun and the moon are reflected in front of the old door,

The Son of Heaven and the Emperor,

The people of Li are full of grace,

I can hear the sound of thousands of households worshipping.

The castle was originally owned by the Matsudaira clan, but was captured by Nobuhide in the early autumn of last year. Although the capture of the castle was entirely due to Mizuno Tadashi of Kariya, Nobuhide gave it to Hirotadada's uncle, Matsudaira Uchizen Nobuta.

Xinding came to the door at this time and said, "There is something to enlighten the lord ...... below."

"I'm singing!" Nobuhide snapped, continuing to sing his ballad. Matsudaira Nobutari sat honestly in the corridor, waiting for Nobuhide to finish singing a section of "Xuanzong".

May the king be honored to the palace of eternal life,

Talk about this hatred and comfort.

Nobu-su finished singing as if no one was around, and Fang said, "Come in!" The voice was as high-pitched as when he sang the song. Xinding respectfully opened the sliding. Nobu-su laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I let you listen to all the tunes I sang." How's that, okay?"

Xinding looked up at Xinxiu in surprise, and replied bluntly: "I don't understand ballads at all." If he replied yes, Nobuhide would have scoffed without hesitation: "What a sycophant." It's because of your habits that you haven't been able to capture Okazaki so far. ”

Nobuhide is not a descendant of Oda. At that time, Oda Yamato, the old minister of the Spo clan, who served as the guardian of Owari, guarded the town of Kiyosu, and Oda Ise guarded the town of Iwakura, and respectively ruled the four prefectures of Owari and Upper and Lower Prefectures. Nobuxiu ancestor is no more than a Qing beard. However, when it came to Nobuhide's generation, he built fortresses in Nakono, and built castles in places such as Gudu and Suemori, and unknowingly his forces overshadowed the lord's house and intimidated the surroundings. All of this is due to his strong strategy, known as the "Ghost of the Ancient Wild". He instructed Abe Daizo's son to kill Kiyoyasu, the father of Hirotada, during the Battle of Mt. Moriyama. Last year, he said to Matsudaira Shin, the uncle of Hirotada, who had now surrendered: "Take Okazaki." You can take Okazaki, Okazaki is yours. I'm your back. He skillfully incited Sinding to point the finger at his own family, but he did not consider Sinding to be a worthy man.

Nobu-su said, "What's the matter with you?"

"Kuma Wakanomiya Hataro came with the three captured stand-ins of Yu Da and asked for instructions on how to send them down. ”

"Three women? interesting...... Let him in. ”

Nobuhide laughed again, and the sound shook the house. Nobutsu was about to take the order to retreat, but Nobuhide seemed to think of something again, smiled gloomily, and said, "Wait!" His terrifying eyes were exactly the same as those of Kichibo-shi when he tried to tease others. Xinding fell stiffly to the ground. For him, there is nothing more terrible than Nobuhide's capriciousness.

"Sakurai's ......," Nobuhide said. Sakurai is Matsudaira Nobuta's residence, "I remember, those stand-ins you captured are also here, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Only a fool like you would catch someone like that. ”

"Under the conviction of sin. ”

"But if you could capture Zhenyuda, you would have already taken over Okazaki Castle and taken charge of the Matsudaira clan. ”

"It's embarrassing. ”

"Forget it. Although Kariya and Okazaki won this time, Oda Nobuhide is not as stupid as you. Shinding stared at Shin-su and knelt on the ground to listen to him.

"Do you know why I made Tadamasa the vanguard during the siege? Matsudaira Hirotada was furious. No matter how carefully Tadamasa and Okazaki's old ministers planned, Tadamasa's son, Nobumoto, would try to thwart it. If the grievances between the two families were so easy to resolve, my head would have been gone. Ha ha. Then, he said with a smile: "Okay, before bringing Xiong Ruogong in, bring the three stand-ins you captured first." ”

"My lord means to ...... six women"

"Exactly. Bringing these women together is a cherry blossom viewing party. They must all be young, let them line up in front of the porch. "Faith is ordered to retreat. Xinxiu's eyes were like electricity, he raised his head, smiled, and continued to hum the song "Xuanzong".

The brocade is the curtain agate steps,

Tridacnus for the bridge glazed pavilion,

……

After that, he turned his head to look at the pool that was still warm and cold, and laughed out loud.

"I brought them in. ”

"Good. ”

"Xiong Ruogong asks to see your lordship. ”

Those women were brought by Xinding's subordinates, and Xiong Ruogong was introduced by Xinding himself.

The surroundings suddenly lit up, like a flower garden in spring. Hataro, who is opposite Nobuhide, is already handsome and delicate, and the six young women are even more enlightened, like butterflies dancing around Hataro. However, this was only a sigh in Nobuhide's heart, and the young women's hearts were not so relaxed, they were full of fear, and they were ready to die. They knelt in the porch, staring directly at the fierce Nobu-so, whose lives and deaths were now completely in the hands of this person.

Nobuhide looked at the women carefully. Hataro is as calm as water, but he is sure but worried. Nobuhide said to Hataro, "Previously, Yoshi-shi was taken care of by you. ”

"Poor care, panic. ”

"I've heard you've been very well arranged. You will pity these women today. ”

"Yes. ”

"It is useless to plead for mercy, everything in the world is determined by heaven. Just as a snail is born on a tree, a conch lives in water. I don't know what Nobuhide thought of again, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In the eyes of a fool, he may not be aware of the changes in the world. In fact, if you don't pay attention, everything will be lost. You should understand this. The so-called Fujiwara, Tachibana, Genji, and Taira are changing and changing, and there is no permanence. Mino Saito Michizo was originally just a Jianghu artist with no surname in the Nishioka area of the capital. Matsunaga Danmasa was once an Omi merchant. clinging to a wealthy family and saying that he is a descendant of a nobleman is nothing more than laughing at the world. ”

Hataro stared at Nobuhide, silent. Nobuhide pursed his lips and continued, "The weak will surely be defeated. If you are afraid of ruin, you should always keep an eye out for those snails. Haha, okay, okay, no matter what kind of snail it is. Let's enjoy the flowers in earnest today. Starting with the woman on the far right, come to me one by one and let me smell your scent. Flowers should be fragrant. Come on, come here!"

His eyes were like eagles, staring at the woman on his right. The woman jerked to her feet and went inside. Her face was pale, but she did not have the slightest fear, and looked at Nobu-su with sharp eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Piano Road. The woman, about sixteen or seventeen years of age, replied very simply.

"I didn't ask your name, I asked what your father's name was. ”

"I don't know. ”

"How old are you?"

"Fifteen. ”

"Fifteen...... Fifteen. It's still a tweed to be released. Mizuno Tadamasa is really cruel. Don't think I don't know his tricks—these kid-sucking tricks. What did Tadamasa tell you before going out, let me guess, he will definitely say that you are the heroine of the Mizuno clan, and if you are caught, Nobuhide will never embarrass you. Nobuhide saw that the woman's shoulders began to tremble, and laughed loudly: "In recent years, more and more people have sent the Iga and Kaga ninjas they have cultivated to other places to get news. Mizuno Tadamasa is more clever than them. He must have also told you that no matter where you are, you must always keep your heart on Kariya. Hahaha, okay, okay, don't be nervous, don't tremble. He released the person he had cultivated on the occasion of his daughter's wedding, and deliberately let me catch it...... But I'm not going to be angry, you guys are so beautiful, how can I be angry? hahaha!"

Matsudaira Nobutasa glanced at the women beside him, and they clearly showed a look of despair.

Nobuhide can always calmly see the truth of the matter and withdraw salt from other people's wounds. In this sense, he seems to be a murder weapon with a keen magnetic power, which can suck the other person to his side. While he looked at the women, he also took in Matsudaira Nobuta's panic. Lord Sakurai's eyes widened. What a fool, you can only be under the control of Okazaki......" Nobutari lowered his head with a flushed face, and listened to Nobuhide again: "Kotoji, okay, stand down!" A second woman walked in, her face even paler.

"Name?"

"I don't know. ”

"Age?"

"I don't know. ”

"Oh, you're a gardenia, it's fragrant, and you've been in that name since then, do you hear that? Go down, next!"

Not everyone can endure this cruelty of Nobuhide. Xinding didn't dare to look at him directly. But Nobuhide didn't relent, he called the women in one by one, stared at them with creepy eyes, and asked the same questions.

When the sixth woman was called in, even Hataro couldn't bear to look at it any longer. He twisted his head to the side and looked out the window at the treetops of the podocarpus. The sun is shining outside, and a flock of white-faced gather in the yard and cry gracefully, which makes people's hearts move.

"Name?" asked Shin-su again.

"My father...... The twenty-third generation of the source of the ......"

Hearing a different answer for the first time, Nobuhide couldn't help but moan. The woman continued, "Dr. Mizuno Uemon is loyalist. ”

"Oh, you're a loyal daughter, what's your name?"

"Yu Da. ”

The woman's face was pale, but she smiled contemptuously. When she laughed at Nobu-so, she was ready to die.

"Oh, your name is Yu Da ......"

Nobu-su looked at the woman carefully, then smiled coldly and said, "Interesting." Are you really called Yu Da?"

"Yes. The six people here are all called Yu Da. ”

"Oh, good name. How old are you?"

"XIV. ”

"Sakurai!" Nobuhide shouted as he trembled on the side. When Xinding raised his head, Xinxiu suddenly laughed again: "Look at her face, she actually said that she was fourteen." Okay, okay, I'll leave Dr. Uemon's precious daughters to you for the time being. Take them down without the slightest mistake. ”

"Yes. ”

"Xiong Ruoguan and I still have something to say. He suddenly turned to Hataro and said, "You stay." And then I said that everything in the world is moving. Like snails, you don't notice it, but they do crawl. ”

Hataro lowered his head slightly, and a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. When the women all retreated, Hataro remained silent and said, "Thank you, Lord for your grace." Hataro thanked the six women. ”

Xinxiu said coldly: "Wait, I didn't say that I wanted to spare them." Your brain is spinning too fast. ”

Hataro smiled palely, "Compared to adults, it's just a snail below." ”

"So, you can see my mind, and if you can see it, it means that my mind is too simple. He looked at Hataro with a tentative look. Hataro was silent, and Nobuhide's turn of events frightened him. Nobuhide is very different from ordinary people, and his thoughts are like wild horses on the loose, galloping between heaven and earth. "You can only tell that I won't kill these women?"

"No, the lord will still entrust those women to me. ”

"Oh, if you can even see this, you should know why I have entrusted them to you. Let's talk about it. ”

"Your Excellency may want to say: let them be goddesses and serve the gods of the Xiong Ruogong family. ”

"Haha, sharp eyes. You're quite right. Nobu-su touched his stomach and smiled happily, "I might as well tell you bluntly, those who only knew how to bury their heads in the pile of paper and didn't know how to practice would never have imagined it." ”

"Listen to me. ”

"In the eyes of ordinary people in the world, the goddess should live in the inner courtyard of the shrine, stay at home, and worship the gods wholeheartedly. ”

"Not bad. ”

"I'm going to put that to use. Listen, these goddesses remain virgins forever, dancing in the unknown inner court and serving the gods. However, when collecting alms for the construction of shrine halls, they can show off the secret techniques of the inner court rituals that have been handed down from ancient times. What do you think?"

"Secret Technique......

Nobuhide stared at Hataro tightly and said, "Look at your panicked eyes, I must want to say that the gods will be guilty of this." That's what I think. Ha ha...... At the beginning, it may not be as good as the drama troupe in the countryside. Rather than following the ancient kagura, the dancers had to absorb the movements of Noh and Kyogen to fully display the beauty of young women...... Good students train them and make them excellent dancers, so that everyone can watch their dancing with all their hearts, and even make the viewers mistakenly think that they are heavenly maidens who have come to this murderous and chaotic world. At that time, as long as you go to various places, shrines will be built one after another, and everyone in the world does not like beautiful things. ”

Hataro's eyes widened, speechless. This is another bold whimsy of Nobuhide! He would go so far as to make public the divine events that had been held in secret for 2,000 years, which would surely surprise the world. If this was a surprise to the world, and he wanted to make the three artifacts public, then he would probably say something that would make the Son of Heaven speak. All his actions are closely related to his own interests.

Dense beads of sweat oozed from Hataro's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What practical benefits will this move bring to adults?" ”

"Rest easy. I wouldn't say that for no reason. Noh and Kyogen are incorporated into Kagura, and the popular chanting of Buddha, the capital festival, and new songs...... Ah, it must be a fine dance. The dancers and singers are young and beautiful women, and they are all spotless goddesses who serve the gods wholeheartedly. Nobu-so, who dismisses old habits, gradually revelsed in his own rhapsodies and seems to be a little enchanted. "Cowering before the gods is nothing but a sign of weakness. Tell the world that if you accept these celestial maidens, blessings will come to you. Once this theory spreads, there will be a scramble for dancers everywhere...... What do you think? Are you sure?"
