Ever since that messy tea party three years ago, Oda Nobunaga seems to have learned this extravagant hobby, and every New Year, he would gather his men to Kiyosu Castle for a banquet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the great development of strength, the number of characters this time has more than tripled compared to that year. The number of people who were qualified to sit on the list of retainers, plus the various noble clans and the affiliated powers, totaled close to four hundred, and with the addition of family members and retinues, there were one or two thousand, and even Kiyosu Castle, which was the most spacious in Owari, seemed to be insufficient.

"Maybe it won't be long before a new city is built, right?"

Fan Xiu carefully recalled his memories of this period of history, but the gain was not great, so he simply shook his head and walked straight to the city gate.

Matsui Tomokan was more interested in worshipping the Buddha, and Kawada Nagajin suddenly contracted a small illness, so this time Tsunohide simply brought two boys, Hirate Ji Yin and Asano Nagayoshi, to meet the world.

Since the three of them had not yet relocated to the vicinity of Hanghang City at the end of the year, this was the first meeting between the two parties since their new relationship was confirmed.

"The Prison Palace!"

"Lord Prisoner!"

……

The new title has gradually become accustomed to it, Fan Xiu nodded and bowed slightly in return.

The youngest, Daisuke Ichikawa, is also thirty-five years old, and the three Hirata are over forty, and their hair beards are already sporadic grayish. In terms of age and generation, these three are all characters of the previous generation, so Fan Xiu also showed a little respect. When Hirate Masahide asked them to teach Nobunaga various martial arts, he was only a child under the age of five, but now he has become a Shangguan, and the vicissitudes of life are probably only understood by the parties concerned.

According to all understandings and speculations, these people are people who are good at their jobs, but lack vision and determination, so they will gradually fall behind in the rapid development of the Oda family. However, it should still be enough to be a captain in charge of 100 people in the reserve team.

"The three seniors don't have to be polite."

Fan Xiu smiled.

"I'm just serving as an acting officer temporarily, and I'm still a retainer of the same level as you."

Even so, I accepted the visit as a matter of course. After seeing their families again, they exchanged a few words of greeting before walking towards the city together. The sons of the three are not yet adults, and naturally they have not gone out independently.

A few years ago, when I attended a tea party, I was a little impatient when I saw anyone who had to come forward to give a salute. Today, however, I saw another kind of trouble, and as soon as I crossed the Otebashi Bridge and stepped into the main gate with half a foot, a group of young samurai came up in front of me.

"You've finally arrived!"

"I wonder when the wedding will be? Congratulations in advance. ”

"yes, I'll be hoping to get a drink then."

……

At a glance, it seems that they are all colleagues who served as guards in Qingzhou City at that time, and if you look closely, it seems that many of them are members of the squad when Sasa Narumasa was the head of the team, which can be regarded as the old department. Although Zozo himself would not admit it, the faction does exist.

In the past, Fanxiu stood out, and the rest were jealous, but now the identity is gradually disparity, but there is only the mind of clinging.

"Lord Prisoner!"

Someone came over to talk to me again.

The rough and slightly terrifying face is full of features, but it is hard to forget.

"It's the Nine Ghost Palace...... How are you doing these days? ”

The Oda family defeated Suruga Imagawa with less victory, which made the decision of the Nine Demons to attach to Oda no longer question, and the prestige of the Nine Demons Yoshitaka was naturally enhanced.

"Thanks to you, the situation has improved a lot lately."

The Nine Ghosts respectfully bent down and stood beside Fan Xiu, and said with a sneer: "I heard about your recent deeds, and I really admire it, and I only hope to pay homage as soon as possible and learn a point or two......

"Then I'll thank the Nine Ghost Palaces for their praise."

Fan Xiu smiled lightly and replied indifferently.

Judging from this attitude, the situation of the Nine Ghost Family should be very bad, and it is likely that they are in urgent need of foreign aid, otherwise why be so humble?

Maybe we should help him figure out something.

The nine ghosts flattered a few words, looked at the reactions around them, and left very interestingly, and said that they would visit the flat house in the near future.

Most of the people in Owari are heroic and do not know etiquette, and during the conversation, they can't help but laugh out loud, but they unexpectedly attract a scolding.

"No noise in this pill!"

It's a young man's voice.

Fan Xiu turned around and saw a samurai dressed in red, fourteen or fifteen years old, looking at the costume, it seemed that he was not a low-level ashigaru but a son of a martial artist, but he had no impression of his appearance, maybe he was newly promoted from an unknown family.

"Lord Tiehand?"

The man in red suddenly changed his expression, took a few steps forward, bowed and said:

"I ask for your forgiveness."

"Oh......" Fan Xiu waved his hand, not taking it to heart, "This kind of occasion is indeed not suitable for noise, everyone should find their seats first!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Prisoner." The red-clothed warrior saluted again, "Your place is ready, please come with me." ”

Fan Xiu nodded, smiled and said goodbye to everyone, the group of young people couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but they didn't dare to make a mistake.

followed the red-clothed samurai to the front, and the seats were lined up with a column of important ministers, but it was almost the last position, and the upper hand was Mino Mori Kesei.

"There's still a distraction below, so I don't have to accompany you."

The red-clothed warrior said and immediately took his leave.

Even self-introduction is omitted.,It seems that he is not a good man of words.,It may not be suitable for reception and maintenance of field affairs! Fan Xiu didn't think much about it, just said hello to Sen Kecheng beside him, but the other party stared at the departing red-clothed man a few times.

"This is Lin Zuodu's newly recruited son-in-law and adopted son, and it is said that he wants to inherit the family business!"

Lin Xiuzhen's son-in-law?

"That's someone worth mentioning!"

Fan Xiu responded.

I have long heard that Lin Xiuzhen's sister-in-law is frail and sick and has died early, but the person he likes is not very good.

"His name is Hayashi Shinjiro Tomasa."

Lin Tongzheng? I don't seem to be impressed.

"It seems that Sado wants him to come out and let everyone meet today!"

Fan Xiu guessed casually.

"The prisoner guessed wrong." Sen Kecheng shook his head, "It was the lord who appointed him to attend, it seems that he has high hopes - what do you think of this young man?" ”

This kind of problem......

Sitting here with a guy in his thirties commenting on a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, but I'm not yet twenty years old!

"Seems to be a taciturn person. What does Moriden think? ”

Fan Xiu replied cautiously. I have the impression that Sen Kecheng is a person who has no ambition and doesn't talk much, but today he is a little abnormal, I don't know why.

"He's very good at spearmanship!"

Sen Kecheng's eyes showed obvious approval.

It is probably really good to make this fierce general comment that he is good at spearmanship. But what do you mean by that?

Fan Xiu became more and more puzzled, but he nodded again and again, showing agreement.

"Since the 'Attack on the Third Left' (Sen Kecheng's nickname) has said so, there must be no mistake."

The latter was overjoyed to hear this.

"This Shinjiro is still somewhat related to the, and most of the spear skills are taught by me...... In the future, I will ask Heiteden to take care of it. ”

Suddenly.

It turned out that Lin Xiuzhen's adopted son-in-law still had this fortune.

The Lin clan is quite powerful as the chief family elder, but he has no advantage in the face of Shibata and Sakuma's same spirit, and if Sen Kecheng is brought over, the situation will naturally be reversed again.

……

"It's too early to get left!"

A rough middle-aged male speaker was behind him, and then he was slapped heavily on the back, and he didn't need to look at it to know that it was Shibata Katsuya coming.

"Shibata-sama."

"A few years ago, you kid was still at the door, and now you're in the same column as me!"

"Then thank you Shibata-sama for your support."

"Since you've said so...... The lack of people or weapons just need to tell me, facing the front line of Sanhe next year will definitely be a lot of trouble! ”

"I'm really grateful, but I don't have to worry about it for the time being."

Although you don't need to be polite, the future is still unclear, and owing too many favors is a troublesome thing after all.

"It's okay, with your Shizuo, you really don't need others to worry, this is my old man's troubles."

Shibata smiled heartily and looked around, but his voice suddenly stopped abruptly.

"It's the lord and lady who have come out!"

Someone whispered, and the venue fell silent.

Fan Xiu turned around and sat down, and the afterglow swept over, but he saw that Shibata seemed to be stunned for a moment.

Is there anything worth noting?

Looking at the past, it's just Oda Nobunaga with a few family members, and there are no new faces!

Just as he was about to forget about this verse, he heard a low voice whispering to himself that he couldn't tell the source.

"That's the princess of the city......"

Subconsciously and carefully looked at the past, Nohime's right hand was indeed holding a girl with a bud waiting to be released, with a familiar face, it should be the girl who likes to dress herself as a Ji samurai.

It seemed that this was the first time she appeared in public, but her demeanor was very comfortable, and she even looked left and right curiously. On the contrary, it was the Oda dog, who was two years older than her, who tightly clutched Nohime's arm and carefully lowered his head and moved.

So it's no wonder that the people of the Oda family are very fond of the former.

Perhaps due to the effect of psychological suggestion, from a distance, Ah Shi's appearance does seem to be better than several other people. However, this person's behavior in history is too terrifying, and it is really difficult for people to get close to each other.

On the contrary, it is the cowardly girl who makes people have a little more desire to protect.

But others probably won't share that view.

Like what......

Fan Xiu glanced sideways, Shibata still looked depressed.

This is the legendary fate......

------------------------------------- Dividing Line-----------------------------------------

"It's finally over!"

As soon as Oda Nobunaga and Nohime left the table, someone shouted. But listening to voices is not the same Ikeda Tsuneko or Maeda Toshiie who used to do this often.

The atmosphere of the banquet attended by the head of the family and the important ministers was naturally not too lively, and Nobunaga did not like yellow soup, and the supply of alcohol was very small, so those young people were naturally very depressed.

Pingshou Fanxiu smiled faintly and said goodbye to everyone one by one, without the slightest displeasure at all. This demeanor is only comparable to Niwa Nagahide in the entire hall, and even Lin Xiuzhen occasionally shows a trace of impatience.

Now no one will come over and invite Tsuyosu to drink. Ikeda is getting closer and closer to being a politician, Maeda knows that his identity is not leaning on here at all, and Sasa is clearly not adapted to the new heights.

Just as he was about to go out, a small surname ran out from behind, saying that the head of the family and his wife had asked the "equal hand prisoner" to go in.

This time, I didn't receive any envy or jealousy.

Follow that little surname inside, the route is already a little familiar.

When I entered a side hall, I saw Nohime sitting alone in the middle, and Oda Inu was blushing beside her, and Nobunaga was not seen, but Ashi was standing aside with a small sword.

"Madame......"

"Your Highness is a little unwell, and you have already rested, please don't mind the Hisho Palace."

"How dare you!"

For some reason, in front of this lady, she always subconsciously felt very relieved and calm, and her words and deeds were unconsciously a little more casual.

"You didn't forget to bring a gift for the dog this time, did you?"

"Yes."

Fan Xiu took out a hanging scroll from the baggage he had brought over.

"This is a landscape painting of the Tang Kingdom that I copied."

"Oh, that's really a heart!"

Nohime took the scroll, untied the tie, took a hasty glance, and stuffed it into the hand of the Oda Inu.

"I don't know how to draw, but Dog loves these things!"

"Ha ......"

Fan Xiu smiled symbolically, but didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, sir."

Oda Inu held the scroll to his chest with both hands, hung his head down, and the voice of thanks was almost inaudible.

"The things you send are either makeup or calligraphy and painting, Lord Tieshou, are you still a brave general?"

This somewhat unfamiliar voice......

Fan Xiu tilted his head slightly, but saw Ah Shi staring at him unwillingly. And Nohime looked at it with a smile on her face, as if she had no intention of stopping.

"What do you mean, then?"

"Iron cannons and swords, of course! It's even better if it's a handmade loot! Stars appeared in Aichi's eyes, "The samurai is under the cherry blossom tree, and he presents the proof of his battle to the girl......"

Fanxiu had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"Okay, Ashi." Nonghime couldn't help but smile and took Ah Shi to his side, stretched out his finger and poked her forehead, "Explain your affairs, you haven't done it yet!" ”

Ah Shi pouted reluctantly, glanced back at Fan Xiu, and trotted out the door.

"Gengoro, come out for me......"

A crisp female voice sounded in the hallway.

By the standards of an orthodox samurai, she was uneducated, but the people of Owari, from Oda Nobunaga to the peddlers' pawns, were very fond of it, and regarded her as a treasure of Owari.

"Lord Pingshou, your youngest sister A-Qing is already twelve years old!"

Nohime spoke suddenly.

Ah Qing?

It was the daughter of Masahide Hirate's stepfamily.,She was less than three years old when Masahide committed suicide.,The impression of Tsunohide is only on the baby who just crawled ten years ago.。 After the death of Zhengxiu, the stepfamily lived in the temple with his only daughter, and for ten years, he went to visit every New Year's holiday, although he said that he was a blood relative, but the friendship was not too deep.

"Gengoro has already served Yuanfu, His Royal Highness wants him to marry Aqing, what does Lord Hiratade think?"

Who is Gengoro?

Honhide thought for a long time before he realized that it was Nobunaga's younger brother Oda Nagayoshi.

I'm going to marry the Tie family.,But I shouldn't be asked, right?

"My brother must have been flattered to learn about this."

Fan Xiu replied vaguely.

Nohime looked embarrassed.

"But a lot of people want you to be the woman's relative."

This is tantamount to depriving Hirate Hisahide of his status as the head of the Hirate clan in disguise.

However, now Fanxiu's strength has surpassed that of his own family, and he can already be counted as a new family.

Is this what it means?

That makes sense.
