"Look at your posture, could it be that you have made a lot of money when you came back from Kyoto this time?"

"Hehehe, it's not about money...... Have you heard? Did you hear that? Recent events! Something big! ”

"If it's the general who escapes, it's not news, I said are you a little slow to react, it's been ten or twenty days, it's been ......."

"That's right, Lord Gongfang is really picking his son and leaving, and I don't know where he can't figure it out...... But the promise of the tie is still there! ”

"So I understand that it doesn't matter whether the shogunate has it or not, whether the world is chaotic or not depends on the peace and mind."

"Hmph, in a few days, it probably won't just be Zhongnayan!"

"It makes sense."

"It really came naturally. I estimate that the power will be transferred within the year. ”

"It's too shallow, the Minister of the Interior is not a problem."

"In my opinion......"

"Hey, hey! Don't interrupt, of course that's not what I'm going to say! I want to tell you that the head of the Kai Takeda family personally went to Luo and kowtowed to Lord Nayan in the hands of the flat hand! ”

"Oh? Babble! That's pretty fresh! Come on, you can taste this glass of wine slowly. ”

"I don't know when it happened?"

"Let me think about it first, when is it? Well, it's a good drink, but it's a little stronger, and if you drink it, ......."

"The boss added two appetizers to marinate the fish! Count me in! ”

"Thank you, thank you, I remember, Takeda Ozen arrived in Kyoto on the second day of the fifth month, and I happened to meet it at that time!"

"On the second day of the fifth month, isn't it ten days? How come we don't have any news? ”

"After all, Shikoku Island, alas, is still remote."

"What can we do about this bird place? Remember to choose well in the next life. ”

"Eh, don't interrupt, let this big brother continue, Takeda Daizen has arrived in Kyoto, how about the future?"

"Back? Naturally, it was a grand reception in the back. I think the Takeda family's Koshin two countries can be saved! ”

"Can you show it in plain language?"

"Not really. It's just that the draw seems to be very friendly, and he shouldn't be deliberately embarrassed. ”

"It is said to keep the two countries of Jiaxin. But now that there is no shogunate, who will confirm the guardianship for him? ”

"That's what you say, do you have to have a shogunate to appoint guards from all over the world?"

"Isn't it?"

"Haha, then I have to, relay the words of Lord Nayan in Ping's hand!"

"What's the big? What kind of noble person is that? He is an old man talking, which onion is your kid, and why are you qualified to listen? ”

"I ...... I've heard this relayed from someone, no? ”

"Paraphrased? Hehe, to put it bluntly, it's rumors, hearsay......"

"Cut—don't listen. What am I bothering to do? It's better to concentrate on drinking. ”

"Don't don't, that guy is a bastard, you don't have to pay attention to it! We're curious, but you just said that you want to paraphrase what Lord Nayan said? What is it? ”

“…… Okay, let's say it in advance, these words were said in front of a large number of ministers, monks, merchants, and craftsmen, and they can be verified when they arrive in Kyoto, but it's not my nonsense! ”

"Hehe, there is no silver ...... here"

"Fuck you, don't mess around! Big brother, you keep talking, keep talking! ”

“…… Look, everyone's interest is gone. Okay, okay, when you're done, it's not in vain that you invited me to drink! At that time, Daisho Nayan said this - first, the power of Nayan alone is not equal to the Ashikaga clan, at least there is still an heir in Luo. Second, the Ashikaga clan was not equal to the shogunate. Since ancient times, he served as the general of the expedition, in addition to the Genji samurai, there are also Fujiwara clans and the imperial family, and it has only been passed to Ashikaga for a hundred years. Third, the shogunate was not the same as a public ceremony. It was the trust of the Imperial Court and other virtuous people that made the shogunate act on their behalf. ”

"Oooh......"

"Uh-huh-hmm......"

"What are you doing 'oh' and 'uh-huh'? Do you understand? ”

"I didn't fully understand it, but I'm sure it was really from Kyoto, and it wasn't made up by this guy!"

"Why?"

"Nonsense, can the average person make up this kind of talk? It sounds like it understands the meaning, but when you think about it, you don't understand the meaning, and if you experience it more, it seems that you understand more meaning...... That's brilliant! Contains philosophy! ”

"Indeed, you're right."

"Makes sense......"

"Is it really a golden and jade good word in the hands of the equal?"

This is a tavern on the island of Shikoku, in the Murotonada area.

There was a lack of fertile land and fresh water irrigation in the vicinity, and there were only a few small fishing villages, which can be described as a poor and remote area that is inhabited. It wasn't until five years ago that the three major imperial merchants of the Hirate family expanded along the Seto Inland Sea, building a port and a large number of warehouses there, that the economy was gradually stimulated.

Today, dozens or hundreds of families have moved to settle down, some of them drive cars and horses, some do fiber pulling and transporting, and some are craftsmen engaged in civil engineering.

There are also people who run sake houses to serve customers.

One of the most popular shops by the sea, called "Big Fish House", is very hospitable and generous as the sign says, and it is very popular with rough people. Its clever way of processing seafood is well-known near and far, and occasionally even attracts outsiders to come to experience it.

Every night, people from all over the world would gather together and ask each other about the affairs of various places as a pastime.

Especially those related to politics in Kyoto. Although it has nothing to do with everyone, it is very interesting to chat.

……

Really, what a noise!

I thought that staying here for a while would be able to avoid all the things I wanted to avoid, but I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape!

Kinoshita Hidecho sat in the box and listened annoyed, and he went out to scold a few words in person, so that the bored people outside were quiet.

With his gorgeous clothes and shaved hair, his sword and repeatedly, and the style of a servant bodyguard behind him, it should not be difficult to scare these uninformed cloth idlers.

But as soon as he got up, his eyes swept around the top of the partition, and suddenly he felt pity and anger.

In fact, those are just people who work hard to make a living. I have a little more knowledge to go south and north, but I have the same difficulties at hand.

Can you really tell which face is not weathered, and which one is not shabby and plain? They talked so much about the affairs of the nobles, just for a little pastime and to relieve the daily toil.

When Hidecho Kinoshita was young, he was also a member of this ranks. When I was helping merchants in the towns of Cheongju, I often met rich and powerful gentlemen, and when I heard some gossip news, I couldn't help but think that my class had also risen. When I went home and saw the thatched house leaking from the rain and the hungry old mother, I came to my senses again. Suffering mental torture alternately in these two worlds every day.

So I can be very empathetic.

Let's just let them discuss!

In my current state, what leisure do I have to manage others?

Kinoshita Hidecho simply poured himself a few more bottles of wine.

A drunk relieves a thousand sorrows.

Of course, his sorrow could not only come from the chatter of the ignorant masses outside, and it was at best a small introduction.

There is naturally an internal reason why the popular retainer of the once flat family suddenly came to this kind of place to see the sea.

It's not complicated, it's because of his half-brother Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

The cronie who was promoted by Nobunaga, who worked for Ashikaga Yoshiaki for a vacation, later participated in the "Great Xiangkokuji Rebellion" as a core member, and his whereabouts are unknown after the defeat, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who is still absconding.

Although Hite-suo said that he would not be suspicious of this, and strictly forbade other retainers to use this as an excuse to play in this regard, he was still entrusted with important tasks. But Kinoshita Hidecho himself, unable to cross the threshold in his heart, both guilty of the lord and his brother, so he spent his mental torment like a year, after all, he couldn't help but call himself sick and take leave, incognito, and ran to a remote place on Shikoku Island to relax.

This unjustified private demand was still permitted.

Originally, Kinoshita Hidecho rented a house, watched the sea for several months, and his mood improved slightly. Unexpectedly, I happened to go to the restaurant to eat something today, and I was reminded by the discussion of the drinkers, and I suddenly became heavy.

For some reason, I heard about Kyoto outside, and I was sad to hear it, but I couldn't help but want to hear more.

Mixed feelings can only be alleviated by constant drinking.

How to solve the worries, only Du Kang!

In the middle of the night, the drinkers outside gradually dispersed, and Kinoshita Hidecho was almost drunk and almost collapsed, when suddenly a short figure appeared at the door of the private room and walked in suddenly.

The two accompanying retainers immediately became vigilant and stood up to guard with their hands on the hilt of their swords.

However, in the dim light, the uninvited guest took off his hat and revealed his face.

The retainers were stunned and didn't know what to do.

Kinoshita Hidenaga's drunkenness disappeared most of it in an instant: "You! How did you...... What are you doing here?! ”
