Fanxiu held the reins of the horse, quietly looked at the young man in front of him, and then smiled lightly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Well, then, let's keep up."

The young man's face could not hide the excitement, but he did not forget to give the salute, and then ran back to the wine house and called out his companion.

Marume Nagae stared at the boy a few times, his face a little impatient, but he didn't speak in the end.

In order to take care of these two horseless teenagers, Fanxiu deliberately slowed down until sunset, and did not reach his destination, Sawa Yamashiro.

So I found a house near Kannonji Castle, and after resting, I began to have time to inquire about Kawada's relatives.

In a small space, two dim lights are lit.

Four people sit around with a small coffee table in the middle.

“…… Because he was suspected of being friendly with the Asai family, he was attacked by Rokkaku, so he could only abandon the city and flee, but half of the clansmen were buried in the city. Kawada Nagan's expression was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's affairs, and the "clan brother" beside him had a gloomy face - this person was called Kawada Kikin, and his face was a little wooden, but he was very honest, and he kept looking at the eyes of his brother.

"Within a few months, I spent almost all of my savings, even though I saved as much as I could......"

"So what's next? And why are they in exile for months? Fanxiu raised his teacup and took a sip, more of a routine than a curious inquiry.

"At the end of last year, I heard the news that Oda and Nagao were going to Luo. As a result, some unrealistic delusions arose. ”

It's unrealistic to say, but the expression is full of confidence.

Fanxiu smiled lightly: "Oda and Nagao don't seem to be the same level of daimyo, right?" ”

This sentence is by no means a false word, although the Oda family at this time nominally occupies the entire territory of Owari, but the territory is only 100,000 koku, which is about 300,000 koku when converted into the stone high system; The general territory of the Nagao family is at least two or three times higher than Oda's, and as for the prestige of the two, it is completely incomparable.

"The Oda family is like a swimming dragon at the bottom of a potential arc, and when it comes out of the water in a day, it can cover the sky and avoid the earth." Kawada replied respectfully, "When I was a child, I followed my father to Echizen, and I had the privilege of meeting Master Sodi of the Asakura family, and I also saw the appearance of Sote-sama of the Asakura family, and I also saw the appearance of Sotsu Gong guiding the country......

Asakura Drip? This person is known as the god of the Northern Army, in the early and middle period of the Warring States period, he is one of the few famous generals in the world, and he has also made great achievements in civil affairs and culture, but unfortunately he was born too early, and now he is gone.

"What does that Tsukoto say about Owari?"

Regarding this old-timer's opinion, Fanxiu suddenly became a little interested.

"The great names of the world, evil as Toki, Ouchi, good as Takeda, Nagao, Mori, Oda, this is the original words of the prince of Zongdi."

Fanxiu was slightly surprised: "When did Zong Digong say this?" ”

"About 10 years ago, I was just a six-year-old."

"In this way, Zong Di Gong is really the only master in the world." Marume Nagae couldn't help but interject.

At that time, Ouchi was still at his peak, and Toki's family business had not yet been usurped, but Nagao and Takeda, whose territory did not exceed one country, could not be regarded as powerful daimyo, not to mention Oda and Mori. Ten years later, both Oda and Mori were in rapid development, while Nagao Takeda was one of the few powerful feudal clans in the world.

This prediction ability can really be described as brilliant, even bizarre.

"Later, there were rumors that before Zongdi Gongxian went, he said to the left and right that in another three years, he could see the rise of the Oda family."

"Now it's exactly three years since I left Zongdi Gongxian." Fanxiu nodded slightly.

"Well, after leaving home, I've been looking for opportunities for Oda and Nagao Kamiraku." Kawada Nagajin said, "Nagao-sama publicly announced the news of leading 5,000 people to Luoluo a few months ago, but the Oda family ......."

"The son of a daughter can't sit down, after all, Oda and Mino Saito are friends and enemies, and there is nothing to be done to hide their whereabouts." Fanxiu excused himself.

"Your Highness is very true." Kawada made a wry smile, "I've been waiting on the route from Tokaido to Beijing, but I have never found anything, until I heard a few days ago that Lord Oda has arrived in Kyoto, and even the imperial edict has been issued......

Kawada made a gesture of regret, and smiled without saying a word.

"I thought that Oda was hopeless, so I could only wait for Uesugi, but I didn't expect the peak to turn around."

Even so, it's hard to understand when you guess your identity just by looking at one side.

Fanxiu asked about this, and Kawada first smiled, and then bowed.

"When His Highness sits in the sake house, if he does not hold the glass in his right hand, he will tap it on the table with his four fingers. And whenever the words Owari or Oda are spoken, the rhythm of His Highness's tapping on the table changes......"

So that's the case? I thought I was careful enough to hide my emotions, but I unexpectedly revealed my thoughts on my fingers. However, the other party's observation ability is indeed nuanced.

"The identity can be disguised, but the bearing is difficult to change, the young samurai of the Oda family, with the bearing of His Royal Highness, only Niwa and the two are equal."

Kawada is courteous, but his words are confident.

Fanxiu nodded silently, and finally said his identity.

"Tie Shizaemon pan-show."

"Kawada Kuro Saemon chief personally participated!" After saying his name, he bowed down and fell.

Fanxiu did not stop him, which was tantamount to acquiescing to his request.

"Kuro...... Alone, how can you understand the movements of the world's daimyos? ”

"This ......," Kawada nodded slightly, "There are three kinds of people in the world, well-informed and easy to befriend. ”

"What are the three types of people?"

"One is the peddler who transports the goods. Because if you want to go south and north, you must understand the market everywhere; The second is the walking monks, who know best what kind of sects the daimyo of the world believes; The third is...... Wandering Girl. ”

"Wandering girl?" A sinister smile hung on the corner of Fanxiu's mouth, while Marume was disdainful.

The so-called wandering women refer to women engaged in special services, many of whom have been forced to fall into the dust and have no return due to the war.

"When it comes to the breadth of communication, there is no one who can compare with the wandering girl." Kawada's eyes suddenly froze with shame for a moment, and then sighed softly.

Fanxiu also sighed secretly, but it obviously didn't mean the same thing as Kawada.

"Jiulang, you have lived in Omi for a long time, you should know about the Asai family."

"Yes."

Kawada replied with a bow.

"Asai is not so much a daimyo as a union of the wealthy clan. Although Asai is nominally the lord of Kita-Omi, the important matters of the family need to be decided by the ministers in a collegial manner. ”

This is consistent with the information previously understood, and Fanxiu nodded slightly:

"The important ministers of the Asai family seem to be headed by the three generals of Hai Chiyu."

"Yes. Haibei Tsunada-sama is the best military strategy in the Asai family, while Akao Kiyotsuna-sama is the most popular and entrusted with national politics, and Yumori Sadakiyo-sama is the first Omi Takeyo. It's just that His Royal Highness Yusen died of illness last year, and the name of Hai Chiyu no longer exists. Kawada paused for a moment, then said, "Then there are the less important samurai such as Iguchi, Imai, Isano, and Asu. Asai is not a famous family with a long history, and the genealogy of the retainers is also very confused, and the prestige of the old owner's family is not obvious. ”

"What about the young master of Asai?"

"What Your Highness is talking about, is that Lord Asai Bizen Morimasa Mamoru is referring to?"

"Not bad."

"Lord Bizen has few ambitions, heroic and extraordinary, and Omi thinks that he is a hero, but in the next opinion, it ......"

"How?"

"As a daimyo, only knowing and not knowing how to retreat may not be a blessing for the samurai......"

Fanxiu bowed his head slightly, this Kawada chief is really an extraordinary talent.

"And who are the closest retainers of Asai Bizen?"

"It's Endo Saemon, Asai Genbanryo Ryo, and Anyoji Temple."

"Then these three people ...... again"

Fanxiu and Kawada Nagaqin talked until midnight, but Marumme Nagae's face had some indescribable expressions.

PS: Transitional chapters, huh......
