The new rain in the empty mountains, the green trees in the autumn, these artistic conceptions that have made the poets of the past generations repeatedly sigh, have gradually disappeared by the end of October. What can be seen in the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is only cold wind and frost dew, rotten leaves and dead branches.

"The falling trees are all over the world, the autumn comes from the knowable, all living beings are bustling, and I feel this body sad."

The waka that floated out of the tent was exactly what happened to the occasion, but from the tone, there was not much desolation.

The bard was a middle-aged warrior, dressed in fine clothes and covered with white powder, and his figure was rather bloated, but not ugly, but added a lot of comfort and elegance. On both sides of the middle-aged man, there were more than a dozen people, all of whom were dressed luxuriously.

When the two lines of the song landed, someone on the side sent a compliment.

"The poems written by the lord really have a unique taste, which is refreshing and refreshing!" The speaker was an old man with white hair, although he had been fed rickets on his back, and his expression was still in good spirits.

Hearing these two words, the middle-aged man shook his head and said nothing, and a weird smile appeared on his face. And this weird smile quickly spread to the others.

"Poof......

Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My lord, please forgive ......"

The laughing young man hurriedly bent down.

"What is the sin?"

The middle-aged man turned around and patted the old man on the shoulder, but his eyes drifted to the other side.

"Anfang, you come and tell him."

"Yes."

The man in blue who was called "Anfang" took a gentle step forward and waved at the old man.

"Zuojing, what the lord of the square is chanting is not created at this time, but the waka that was circulated during the time of peace, and it has been hundreds of years ago."

Hundreds of years ago, waka can make people "refreshing", but it is still really valuable.

"Oh! There is a labor house. ”

The old man nodded thoughtfully, but there seemed to be no embarrassment on his face. It seems that it is not himself who has gone wrong, but the house opposite.

Anfang was stunned, not knowing how to answer, but the middle-aged man who sang the poem smiled bitterly:

"It seems that asking Zuo Jing to read more poetry books is really in vain."

"Thank you for your kindness!"

The old man named Zuo Jing still looked as usual. Everyone didn't think it was strange, they just looked at each other and smiled.

Suruga is close to Kyoto, and the literati and writers come and go endlessly, and the lord Imagawa Yoshimoto is also a cultural person who has been immersed in poetry and books for decades. The top is good, the bottom must be very bad, it is a group of retainers, most of them are polite and polite people, and the rough people are ashamed of themselves, and they are all vassals and elegant. A person like Zuo Jing who doesn't care about it can hardly find a second one.

However, this old man, who seems to be out of the ordinary, has been close to the head of the family for two generations and has been in the position of the elder of the family for 30 years. I am afraid that these things are not understandable by the Qing courtiers who serve their masters to recite poems and paint.

"Your Highness!"

A neutral voice followed, followed by the black-clothed warrior who strode forward.

When the words came, the middle-aged man retracted his smile and looked at the comer.

"What?"

"The Yamaguchi sect reciprocated, and there were retainers of the Oda clan who joined in."

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"It was a young man named Maeda Toshiie, who was driven out of Kiyoshu Castle by Oda Nobunaga because of his guilt."

"That's it......" The disappointment on the middle-aged man's face flashed, "It's just an unknown person, you can just deal with this matter by yourself, and you don't need to report it." ”

"Your Highness!" The man in black did not retreat, but took a step forward, "This person is from the Oda clan, and he is Oda Nobunaga's former close attendant. ”

"Pedigree and squire?" The middle-aged jaw pondered for a while, "Then you can see it, and order someone to bring him over." ”

"Yes."

"It's hard work."

"Panic!"

The black warrior bowed, then fell back.

"Congratulations, my lord!" The retainers standing on the side hurriedly sent congratulations. The middle-aged man shook his head, as if he was very dissatisfied.

"I came with the power of thunder, and to this day, only a generation of the Oda clan came to serve, and I am still a criminal minister. Oda Nobunaga's strength is probably not to be underestimated! ”

"Why should the lord be worried?" The old man named Zuo Jing just said in a voice, "Those people are just worried about the family's attitude towards the new possessor, with this person as an example, I think there will be an endless stream of people in the future!" ”

Anfang also came out and said: "The lord may as well be a thousand gold bones." ”

A thousand gold city bones?

The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"It is often said that there is a king of the way, and he can be a man of the world. Come and greet you! ”

————————————————————————————————————————

Maeda Toshiya followed the Yamaguchi father and son in front of him bowed their heads and hurried forward, walking for an hour in a row, and the camp tent they saw still did not see the end.

At such a scale, the so-called 40,000 soldiers, I'm afraid it's true, right? Every time he thought of this, his belief that he thought he was strong shrank a little. When he walked to the southernmost side, this high-spirited young man could not help but have a look of despicability and fear.

Kyotsugu Yamaguchi turned around and saw Maeda's expression, but instead of laughing at him, he patted him on the shoulder.

"As Maeda Hall can see, this is not my infidelity, it is really powerless to resist!"

"Yes......" Maeda reluctantly responded, but his expression was completely confused.

"Don't panic! Imagawa-sama is a big man, and he will never be as unreasonable as that guy in Cheongju City! ”

Maeda gave him a deep look, as if to remember the face, and then thanked him.

The banner team of Imagawa's main camp is all tall and prime-like, and there are more than a dozen squads patrolling back and forth, and the costumes, armor, flags, and equipment are all the same, and when you look at it from a distance, you feel that it is majestic and majestic. It is rumored that the people of Suruga are weak and ridiculed as "the female samurai of Suruga", but here they are completely unfelt.

There was a black-clothed samurai standing in front of the gate, and he didn't wait for Maeda to approach, so he took the initiative to approach.

"Is Your Excellency Maedaden? Sure enough, he is a brave man. The man in black looked Maeda up and down, looking quite appreciative.

"This ...... Isn't it Ohara-sama? Yamaguchi's father and son recognized the identity of the man in black and hurriedly bowed. Maeda was stunned for a moment before bending down after him.

"In Shimosuruga Ohara Town!" The man in black smiled and helped Maeda up, "Maeda's abandonment of darkness and turning to light is exactly what the people want, and Jibu (Imagawa Yoshimoto) is also very happy." ”

Maeda swallowed his saliva, bowed down and didn't dare: "In the next ...... Maeda and Saemon are admired by adults......"

"In this way, if you are a few years older, you will call it left." Ohara Zhenmi held Maeda's hand, "Youzuo will follow me to meet Jibu-sama, as for ......" He turned to look at the two of them again, "The two of you have worked hard too!" There will be a reward soon. ”

"Don't dare!" The father and son of Yamaguchi, who were left out in the cold, were happy in the past.

…………

Imagawa Yoshimoto sat upright in the hall, and all the Qing guests beside him had disappeared, leaving only two important ministers to sit on both sides.

"The one on the left is Lord Okabe Kinzuna, known as Sakyo, and on the right is Lord Anhara Tadashi, known as Anbo." Ohara Jinmi introduced Maeda clearly before pulling him in the door.

Maeda hurriedly stepped forward, walked to a distance that he thought was appropriate, and fell to the ground.

"Foreign Minister Maeda Toshiya, meet with Lord Jibu, and wish your lord prosperity in martial arts!"

"No formality!" Yoshimoto Imagawa smiled, although he was a person who valued dignity and humility on weekdays, but when needed, he was willing to show his approachable side even in the face of the country samurai of Owari.

"Today's westward mobilization is not for selfish desires, but for the rise and fall of the royal road. Owari Haojie, deeply deceived and unwilling to return, is really sad! After saying a few words as usual, Imagawa Yoshimoto did not repeat the words, but was questioned by Anhara Tadayin on his left.

After a few words of innocuous conversation, Anhara began to get down to business.

"I heard that Maeda Hall was expelled from Cheongju Castle?"

"Yes." Maeda bowed down and replied, "I killed a small surname by mistake, so I ...... it."

"Is there any reason to expel a general for the sake of a servant?" Anhara Tadayin shook his head very regretfully, "The Oda clan is so weak, even if the family doesn't crusade, sooner or later they will die to others!" ”

"Yes......"

Maeda seems to have become a worm, and will hardly say anything other than a resigned "yes". After a long time, the people in the temple finally became impatient.

"How much money did Maeda receive at the Oda family?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly spoke.

"It's three hundred and fifty."

"That's right...... The family will never treat the newly attached people badly, so let's increase it to five hundred. ”

"Thank you." Goodbye Maeda.

"Hmm...... Hizen, let's take Maeda down and rest! ”

"Yes." Ohara Zhenmi took the order forward, and Maeda Toshiya was led by him, and he unconsciously took a few steps back, and suddenly thought of something, and ran to the front again.

"Lord Zhibu, there is still one more thing for the foreign minister!"

Imagawa Yoshimoto frowned slightly, but his words were still very kind:

"Oh? What else? ”

"Yes...... The foreign minister has a friend who has long been dissatisfied with the Oda family, and I would like to persuade him to vote for the ruler-sama! ”

Yiyuan didn't take it to heart, but only felt troublesome. Just a guard, who can you say?

"Who is it?"

"Tie even Saemon Tsuhide!"

"Oh?" Imagawa Yoshimoto's narrowed eyes suddenly opened more than half, "However, the Heite clan is a loyal servant of the Oda family!" ”

"The letter of the year...... Nobunaga forced the prisoner boss to commit suicide, and he has long been grudged, and the Hete clan is now just a fake allegiance! ”

"Hmm......" Yoshimoto nodded slowly, and looked at him deeply, "You can tell Heide that I am willing to invite him for five thousand kan, and I will treat him like Matsudaira Takechiyo." ”

5,000 kan!

Despite this situation, Maeda still had some indescribable feelings in his heart.

"If this matter is successful, I will give you a thousand yuan."

Yoshimoto Imagawa threw out a new condition.

Maeda Toshiya has always thought that he is a very self-aware person, and he thinks that the talent of the tie is indeed a little better than himself, so he is not jealous of the higher of the tie. However, at this time, he couldn't help but start thinking nonsense.

Could it be that that guy's talent is more than ten times better than mine?

After being stunned for a long time, Maeda took the order with a heart full of worries.

"Lordship......" Okabe couldn't help but speak, "Although that tie is a bit famous, I'm afraid it's not enough to get such a high price!" ”

Imagawa shook his head and did not answer. A few years ago, he had already sent Ohara Jinmi to monitor Owari, and over the past few years, he had long known about the characters who needed attention. However, these things do not need to be explained to the retainers.

On the contrary, it was Anhara Tadashi who explained: "Owari has hundreds of miles of fertile soil, which can produce 100,000 pieces of land, so why should you be stingy with a reward if you have this place?" ”
