Spring is short, tired, lying in the middle of the wine shop, drinking with one or two confidants, it is really pleasant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Imperial Court and the Shogunate are now only two empty signs, the red tape is no less than in the past, and even if Nobunaga disdains it, he has to follow the rules.

Nobunaga Kamiraku brought dozens of entourage, except for some of the guards left, other leisure people, etc., naturally could not miss the rare opportunity to enter Beijing. Kanamori took the opportunity to visit the nearby tea people, Murai visited the dojo of the shogunate swordsman Yoshioka Constitution, and the bee house was a missionary who worked part-time as a merchant to select rare imported goods.

Looking at Heiankyo, which can only be counted as a small town in later generations, Honhide doesn't have much of a mood to hang out. However, to do something serious has little effect. No one was introduced, and if they wanted to visit the nearby shogunates and celebrities, they were not allowed to enter.

When he had nothing to do, he was intrigued when he heard Ikeda talk about the sake brewed in Kyoto. went out to find a wine shop, but met Yumitsu Numata, the opponent of the day before yesterday, so he happily drank with him.

Historically, Numata Yumitsu was a retainer of the Tohoku daimyo Tsugaru, who was good at strategy and military science, and was the chief strategist of the Tsugaru family. Fan Xiu vaguely knew his deeds, so he had the idea of deliberately making friends in his heart. And in the words and deeds of the other party, it seems to have the same idea.

After three rounds of drinking, staggered conversations, and feasting, I actually felt like a confidant. Growing up with Masahide Hirate, he is well-read, needless to say, and Yumitsu Numata is also well-informed, witty and funny, and every time he talks about the wonders, he smiles and has all kinds of fun, which is not enough for outsiders.

When Fang Zun was in the air, he was already frank and relative, with nothing to talk about, and no intention of precaution at all - it was not that he was unfamiliar with human feelings, but that it was unnecessary, which was also the benefit of being in a low position. In the Shogunate, Numata Yumitsu only had forty kans, which can be described as a light talker, and Hirate Tsunohide was slightly famous in Owari, but when he arrived in Kyoto, he was no different from other foreign samurai.

The area of Luobei, compared with Luozhong, where the imperial palace is located, is only dozens of miles apart, but the people's livelihood is stable and the merchants come and go, but it is completely different. It seems that Ashikaga Shogun is not a lie.

"Kyoto's sake has a different flavor, but it's also very expensive." Fan Xiu raised his glass and asked, "When I was in my hometown, I only knew how to pour bottled cow drinks, and now I have to learn to be more elegant." "In the small shop on the street, a pot of about four or five sake costs 400 wen, which is several times that of Owari.

"Luozhong rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place. Most of the visitors here are the princes of Shangluo, and the merchants naturally take the opportunity to make profits. Numata Yumitsu smiled, "The temple is far away, it is for the guests, otherwise today's banquet will be counted as Youguang......"

"In that case, I should have drunk three more pots." Fan Xiu also laughed casually, "Although the price is a little more expensive, it is better than the war and no one in the wilderness." ”

"It's still the beginning of the year when Owari-sama (Oda Nobunaga) unified his neighbors, and I think Honhideden is also deeply aware of this." Talking about the scourge of war, Youguang's face darkened slightly.

"Indeed." "When I was young, the first temple Manshoin (Oda Nobuhide) was in the land of four wars, the wolf was surrounded by tigers, and the merchants passed through the Tokaido, and often avoided the two counties of Hedong, I remember that when I was six years old, my brother suddenly fell ill, but outside the city was in chaos, and it took half a month to be cured......" Honxiu shook his head, as if he wanted to leave these things behind.

"The situation in the Kanto region is also chaotic." Numata, who is an Ueno person, put down his cup and said, "Fourteen years ago, in the First Battle of Kawagoe, the combined forces of Kanto Nisugi and Furukawa Gongkata were finally defeated at the hands of the Hojo clan, and the old tree that had decayed was broken, and even the last torso was broken.......

"Echigo Nagao's military strength is the best in the world, the famous generals of the Ota era, the Ueshu yellow-spotted treasure knife is not old, Satake and Satomi are all rebellious heroes, and the Hojo family is unrighteous and helpless, and it must be imminent." Honhide tried his best to recall his memories of the Kanto region, and his words were soothing.

"Honhideden really knows a lot about Kanto." Yumitsu was a little surprised, but then shook his head again, "Hojo has many enemies, but his enemies ...... Although the long tail is strong, it is beyond the reach of the whip, Ota and Nagano are loyal, but the foundation is very shallow, and the strength is inadequate, Utsunomiya and Nasu are infighting, and only Satake and Satomi are few who can compete with Hojo, Satake Ukyo (Satake Yoshiaki) and Satomi Punishment Department (Yoshiyao) Although they are both heroes, they are by no means Hojo Shiyasu's opponents. ”

"So...... Youguang Hall traveled around the world, and he must not be able to bear to see war rampant. Seeing that the other party was depressed, Fan Xiu was also a little gloomy.

"Does Fanxiu Hall think that I escaped from danger in order to save this flesh and skin?" Yuguang smiled bitterly.

"This ......"

"Since childhood, there are five brothers in the family, of similar age, who have practiced the way of civil and martial arts, and the third of them has always been the leader of the five. However...... But it's just a concubine from the side room. Youguang lifted the glass again, as if to say something that had nothing to do with him.

"In this way, it is natural to avoid the jealousy of the eldest brother?"

"The eldest brother is jealous and hateful, and he doesn't need to say anything. What's more serious is that the head of the family is indecisive and unwilling to decide on the heir, so that the retainers are divided and have their own thoughts. Yuguang poured the contents of the cup into his throat, "Yamauchi Uesugi has long been a dead branch and rotten wood, and the Ueno swamp field is just a rotten leaf on the dead wood. Now there are people fighting for this rotten leaf, brothers are killing each other......"

Fan Xiu nodded, said no more, poured another full cup, and drank it first as a respect.

"Spring is really a day of gratitude, which makes Fan Xiudian smile." Youguang let out a long sigh and turned to raise his eyebrows and chuckle.

"In my humble opinion, Youguang Hall will be able to make a name for itself in the future and get what you want." In the game of his previous life, Yumitsu Numata seemed to be a character with high data, and it must be good to say that he was famous.

"Oh? Could it be that Fanxiu Hall knows the art of matchmaking? Youguang smiled, just as a word of comfort.

"The so-called art of physique, presumably Youguang Temple also does not believe it......"

"Outside of Liuhe, the saints exist or not, but what about believing or not believing?"

Fan Xiu didn't feel it, and tapped the four fingers of his right hand on the table: "Youguang Hall is knowledgeable, and Fan Xiu admires it." In fact, Fan Xiu doesn't know anything about the art of people, the so-called people are not as good as the situation. ”

"Potential?" Youguang Jian's eyebrows raised slightly.

"To put it mildly, how does the Yoshikoden think that the left house (Ashikaga Yoshiharu) is compared to today's public side?"

"Hehe......" Youguang smiled heartily, "Therefore, Zuofu has been excited for half a life, generous and heroic, but today's public side, the heroic military is even better, and it will only be a few years after returning to Beijing, and the situation in Luobei can be tidied up." ”

"Not only is the heroic and the military more victorious, but also the martial arts are prosperous." Honhide continued, "The trouble of the shogunate is nothing more than the crime of Awa Miyoshi and below, and the Omi Rokkakuo is not a big deal." But now......" Fan Xiu stopped talking and turned to look at Youguang.

"The three good and four pillars are integrated, which is terrible, but the power is scattered among many families, and it is the way to take trouble after all. What's more, femme fatales are waiting for you. Rokkaku Sakyo (Yoshigen) is not inferior to his father's resourcefulness, but the young master is narrow-minded and short-sighted, and the Omi Sasaki clan may be folded in the hands of this person. "At present, the Rokkaku clan is still an ally of the Shogunate Alliance against Miyoshi, and Yumitsu's remarks are reckless and bold.

"After Miyoshi and Hexagon, no one can specialize in anymore. In this way, Youguang Palace, as a shogunate, is also promising. Fan Xiu guessed a few words according to the other party's meaning, and the two looked at each other and smiled, raising their glasses and drinking together.

From the memories of later generations, it is clear to Fan Xiu that this sword hero general was finally killed by the Miyoshi three, and the desire to revitalize the shogunate has only become empty talk - but this kind of thing can never be said publicly.

After chatting again, I couldn't help but return to the topic of swordsmanship.

"I was supposed to meet up with a good friend today." Youguang said suddenly, with a smug look on his face, it seems that this friend must be an outstanding person, "The same is because of the sword, why don't you go with the temple?" ”

Is this the intention of Yumitsu Numata to deliberately approach? Could it be that some forces in Kyoto want to have something to do with the Oda family?

"So ......" Fan Xiu was noncommittal, just waiting for the other party to explain.

"This friend has always wanted to see the kyoba-ryu swordsmanship, but he didn't have the opportunity to visit the shogunate swordsman Yoshioka-sama, and he must be happy to see the Shogunate swordsman." Youguang added.

"In that case, it would be disrespectful."

Although Kyoto is dilapidated, there are still many dormant forces, and it would be a pity to visit Kyoto if you don't see it. What's more, the other party is a real shogun, and he is just a little-known samurai, so there will be no danger in thinking about it.

Youguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and left the wine money and hurriedly went out with Fanxiu.

After going out, I headed south, through the downtown area, and stopped in front of a despicable temple. Youguang seems to be a regular guest here, and there will be a little monk to serve when he will step in, and Youguang is not polite, and tells this little monk to lead the way in front.

"Could it be that he is a friend of Youguang Temple, but a monk from outside the world?"

It was a common custom in this era to use the temple as an occasion for official meetings.

"Please come in!" Youguang smiled and did not answer, only signaled to Fan Xiu to go first.

As the little monk entered the side hall, he heard the familiar sound of harmony.

It seems that in addition to martial arts, this swordsman is also a cultural person who loves elegance. Fan Xiu glanced sideways, and Youguang stepped forward and shouted softly to the inner hall:

"Tibetan Zuo, Youguang is here to bother again!"

In the middle of the compartment, a thin samurai dressed in a light blue samurai uniform raised his head when he heard this, revealing the family crest of the long sword plum bowl on his chest (the family crest of the Kyushu Sagara family). Opposite the samurai sat a monk in a monk's robe and holding a rosary, looking sideways, about middle-aged in his early thirties, with a long figure and a beautiful face. Next to the monk was a man in black with half-white hair, and his expression was a little aggrieved.

"I was brewing a rhythm, but I was interrupted by Uenosuke's words, it's really indecent, I can't help but be angry." While Fan Xiu was still watching, the thin samurai had already gotten up, feigning indignation, and his voice did not match his body shape at all.

"When it comes to swordsmanship, you are naturally the Tibetan, but when it comes to elegance, I'm afraid you can only be left behind." Youguang pointed to Fan Xiu behind him, "Do you know who this person I invited today?" ”

"Your ......" The samurai who was called the Tibetan Zuo stepped forward and asked Shili to Fanxiu.

"This is the son of Owari Hete's Prison Hall, and Hete's Saemon."

A hint of embarrassment flashed between her eyebrows, and Owari was just there, in front of the people in Kyoto, he also called himself "the son of the prison hall", but it was like the second ancestor of the Emperor who used his father's name to deceive everywhere. This thought, naturally, did not show his face, but just stepped forward and said: "In the lower tail Zhang Oda family flat hand show." ”

The Tibetan Sahara was smiling, and when he saw the living, he suddenly changed his face without joy or sorrow, and he saluted: "In the lower pill eye Changhui!" ”

Marume Nagae? Is that the famous swordsman of the Warring States? It's actually such a thin samurai, at a glance, it just looks like a small person in the market, and he can't detect the superiority at all

"The Tibetan Sano is a retainer of the Higo Sagara clan, and like me, he traveled here to find the true meaning of the sword."

Another guy running for kendo? I'm afraid that there is no shortage of reasons behind the family personnel involvement, right? Fan Xiu glanced up at Youguang, but saw that the other party's eyes were full of meaning, so he understood it.

Tibetan Zuo sneered lightly, looked at Fan Xiu again, but said without hesitation: "Marume Nagae was expelled by the lord because of the offense against the young master, why does Uenosuke have to cover it up for me?" ”

Youguang glanced at Fan Xiu, his face was embarrassed, and when Fan Xiu saw this, he hurriedly diverted the topic.

"I don't know ...... this master," Fan Xiu asked the monk who had been silent.

"The poor monk rides towards the mountain." The monk replied that he did not have to recite a Buddhist verse before speaking, as Fan Xiu thought.

"Morning Mountain Day Ride?"

He only remembered that this man was the leader of the Nichiren sect, who had served the Oda family after Nobunaga Kamiraku and became a famous diplomatic monk, but now he was only in such a despicable small temple.

Historically, the Asama Hisaka, on behalf of the Niko family, was named the "Venerable Master" by the Emperor after he was named the "Venerable Master" by the Emperor after offering the repair costs of the Imperial Palace to the Imperial Court, but these things are not clear to later generations who are only history buffs.

"The poor monk is the Izumo Asayama clan, and he practiced in Kyoto after joining the Nichiren sect." The monk was stared at a little unnaturally by Fan Xiu's gaze, "Could it be that there is something wrong......

"Oh...... I just think the name Asayama Hisakari is familiar. ”

"So, Izumo has been to Izumo?"

"This ...... The master accumulates Buddha from all over the world, and it is common for contemptible people to hear about it occasionally. Fan Xiu said nonsense.

"I see." Knowing that the other party's praise is not boundary, but the Japanese monk no longer delves into it, Xu is a person in Buddhism, and his curiosity should be indifferent after all.

"Master Richeng is worried about the temple in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the humerus of the shogunate." Yuguang suddenly interjected.

"Oh? Is the Hinata Master also a shogunate? Honshu asked casually, it was common for daimyos to use diplomatic monks, but Asayama Hisakari was not famous at the moment, and as a representative of the shogunate, it seemed that he was not qualified enough. If the Niko family representing Izumo was active in Kyoto, it would make sense.

"The left and right sides of the public side are full of time heroes, how can the poor monk be virtuous, and how can he be among them?" The sun rider closed his eyes and folded his hands, neither affirming nor denying.

"Hehe, the master is too humble, even if the master of the Japanese vehicle is listed among the shogunates, he is also outstanding." Youguang turned out to be talking, but he didn't explain it clearly.

"Youguang Temple's false praise is."

Chaoshan Richeng folded his hands and bowed his head to chant Buddhist scriptures, and Fanxiu's gaze turned to the other person.

With the foundation of the first two, I can't help but look forward to the remaining middle-aged men in black.

"This is Mr. Ogasawara Chotoki of Shinano, who is currently the shogunate's archery teacher." Yumitsu Numata's introduction sounded at the right time.

Ogasawara long?

Although his reputation is not obvious, he is a descendant of Ogasawara Ryubow equestrianism, and once served as Shinano's guardian, and later fought with Takeda Shingen, and only after defeat did he fall into exile in.

"The prestige of Ogasawara Hall is heard from far and near." Fan Xiu is so complimentary.

"What the flat hall heard, could it be that the old man was killed by Takeda Dashan (Shingen) and fled in embarrassment?" Ogasawara let out a wry laugh.

"Where did the Hall of the Long Time say that?" Yumitsu comforted, "Ogasawara's bow horses are better than the Koshu army, but they only fell into the trick and fell behind." ”

Ogasawara shook his head for a long time: "Samurai need not only bows and horses to protect the territory and the people, but also internal affairs and strategy. It's a long way from Takeda Daizen, and it's a matter of course to lose to him. ”
