Chapter 33: Guidance

Wasuka Koroku walked in alone, all his men blocked out, and he didn't even have a sword with him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Huh? What kind of wind blew the prestige of the little six chiefs throughout the eight counties of Owari? ”

Fan Xiu smiled and stepped forward to greet him, but he didn't pretend to stop the other party from saluting.

This Wasuka Masakatsu, although not a big deal, is also a difficult snake to deal with. I've been doing wall grass between Oda and Saito for many years, but I haven't offended much on either side, and I'm at ease in Owari and Mino, but now I'm running to myself to make this gesture, it seems that I've been in a bad situation recently!

At that time, Hijo Honhide and Kawa Namizu under the command of Wasuka also had dealings, and at that time, Xiaoliu, who had hundreds of strong men under his command, did not regard each other as a thing in his eyes, and only treated each other politely because of the face of the Oda family, but now the situation is very different. Could it be that the promising profession of the wild samurai can no longer be done? In history, Xiaoliu defected to the Oda family through Kinoshita Toyoshiro, and it seems that it will be a few more years.

Wasuka Masakatsu listened to Fan Xiu's polite words, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, but he just got up and chuckled twice, and replied: "There are a few brothers who have not made it up, and they happened to find the maid of Lord Hirate, and they knew that you were sending someone to look for you, so they immediately sent it over...... Oh, pardon for being rude, I should be called Lord Supervisor by now. ”

"It's just a name, why bother! I still have to thank the leader of the six little ones for this matter. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to take credit for it." Wasuka made a few humble words, and then continued: "Miss Ning Ning is indeed a beautiful and wise, gentle and lovely, no wonder the prisoner is so favored. ”

Sure enough, a local tyrant is a local tyrant, and he speaks really directly! Fan Xiu didn't want to be fake and serious, and didn't want to be too obscene, so he only replied with a smile that even a man could understand, and changed the topic and said:

"It's enough to let a few people come over for this kind of thing, why do you need to ask in person?"

Xiao Liu hurriedly shook his head and replied, "Tie...... The supervisor has always had a strict family style, and my subordinates are all rough people who don't know how to be polite, how can they be elegant? ”

Are all your subordinates coarse? I don't think you can go there, can you?

Fan Xiu complained secretly, shook his head, and pretended not to be angry:

"Is the leader of the Little Six blaming me for being unkind?"

"How dare you! I don't mean to offend, please forgive me. ”

"Haha......"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and for a while the guests and hosts were happy, who would have thought that these two people had met less than five times? A few years ago, Fan Xiu definitely didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with this person, but now, ......

Although this Wasuka spoke a little rudely, his patience was good, and although he was very respectful, he didn't ask for anything, as if it was just an ordinary exchange of feelings.

Fan Xiu was a little puzzled in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, but he just asked him to take Ning Ning into the city first. He was quite grateful to Ning Ning for replacing the zygote with his body, but in front of outsiders, he only nodded slightly.

However, there were several young people carrying suitcases who came in.

"This is ......"

"This is something that Miss Ning Ning used when she lived with me these days, and since she likes it, it would be good to move in together."

Wasuka's expression seemed to be saying something insignificant.

"Oh......"

Fan Xiu became more and more incomprehensible, Ning Ning was just a maid, and in the future, at most, it would be the side room of the flat hand, so why bother to deliberately please her?

"It's not that I'm troublesome, it's just that I like Miss Ning Ning very much, and I said that I want to move around more in the future."

Wasuka seemed to see Tsuno's doubts and explained.

This makes more sense.

After a few more casual conversations, the topic inevitably ran to the past joint battle.

"The Oda family's defeat of Imagawa Jibu, the first bow of Tokaido, is surprising, but it is also reasonable! Especially the Tie Supervisor, it can be said that he is both wise and brave! ”

Fan Xiu didn't pay attention to this false word, but asked:

"Now that you've found Ningning, you want to come to the Imagawa family, and the samurai named Ichinomiya Soyes was also asked for by you, right? This is also a remarkable feat! ”

Xiao Liu shook his head: "Although it is true that I led people to attack them, it was another group of people who got the head to receive the reward." There were forty or fifty of them, and they were well trained, and their fighting strength was comparable to that of a hundred of them. ”

Fanxiu suddenly fell in love.

"Oh? When did Owari become such a hero? ”

"It's not the people I know, but it seems to be the remnants of Iwakura Castle."

The remnants?

Iwakura Castle was captured by the Oda family a year ago, and most of the forces under its umbrella were annexed, and those who did not obey were eliminated, but dozens of people escaped.

"One is called Yamauchi Kazutoyo, and the other is called Horio Yoshiharu, both of whom are the sons of the elders of the Iwakura Castle family, leading the previous retainers, and have been wandering for a year, hoping to exchange this head for a share of the Oda family's territory."

"I see...... "I wonder if they can succeed?" ”

Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Owari Mamoru gave each of them ten pieces of gold, but he was a little vague about the issue of going out, and although he reluctantly agreed to let them serve as servants in the city, he said that if he didn't show his skills for half a year, he would be expelled."

This is Oda Nobunaga's pragmatic character. First of all, people with practical ability are appointed, and secondly, everyone with extraordinary culture can also be favored, and those two boys are probably neither.

I remember that in history, these two people have not had much chance to perform in the early stage of the Oda family, but they are just fighting at the bottom, but their potential is quite qualified, and it is now the time when there is a lack of retainers, do you want to get them over?

Wasuka suddenly sighed again.

"Alas...... In this way, even if I get that head, I may not be able to get what I want! ”

Isn't he already in the name of the Oda family? What else to pray for?

"I remember, my lord has always valued you."

Wasuka Koroku shook his head with a wry smile.

"In the future, I want to be officially listed under the roster of Qingzhou City!"

It's a bit of a trick to do, but why do you have that idea? Didn't he think that low-level samurai had no future, so he took his brother to handle the shipping business, and gradually became a semi-independent countryman?

"Don't hide it from Lord Prisoner, the matter of Meinong has become more and more ...... recently"

"How?"

Hoshu recalled the history he had seen before, and it seemed that the major events in Mino still happened a few years later, and at this time, although Saito Yoshiryu's body was gradually weakening, it was still enough to maintain his rule, and it would not change drastically, right?

"That's right, Mino's Saito-sama, in the past few years, the inspection of the land has become more and more strict, and those forces that are not part of the Saito family have been driven out, and many old friends from the past have come to the contemptible people......"

Koroku Wasuka finally began to explain his intentions.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have friends from afar?" Fan Xiu dragged a sentence, regardless of whether the other party understood it or not, but subconsciously felt that the things proposed by the other party must be inconvenient to mix.

"However, those old friends have recently asked for a share of the profits of my Kiso River shipping......

I see. The shipping of the Kiso River is not a particularly lucrative industry, and if there are too many people, it will naturally not be enough.

"Little Sixth Leader, do you want the Oda family to help you drive away that group of people? It's not hard to do. ”

"Not really! I waited until I took advantage of the troubled times to get out, and in the future, the Oda family would definitely carry out land inspection, and there would be nowhere to go at that time. ”

This guy is also a knowledgeable person, but his speech is inevitably too straightforward, which makes Fan Xiu a little uncomfortable.

"But even so, isn't there still a choice for the Saito family?"

The other party shook his head helplessly.

"Why should the overseer tempt me? Since I sent that to the Oda family three years ago, it's impossible for me to return to Mino Saito-sama's rule......"

"What the hell is that?"

"It's just a relic of some mountain castle (Saito Michizo), but it contains the ...... of the country that he wrote."

Time has passed, but it is no longer a secret. The so-called Rang Koku, after being defeated by his son's rebels, was inexplicably sad and indignant, and before his death, he wrote a letter to give Mino Province to his son-in-law Oda Nobunaga, and entrusted the people around him to send it to Nobunaga. Wasuka helped deliver this thing, and it's really impossible to stay in Mino.

(For the plot mentioned above, see Chapter 123 of Volume I.)

"That's ......"

Fan Xiu understood a little, but still refused to answer.

It's not difficult to include Wasuka alone, and it's definitely worth it, but his group of subordinates will definitely demand that the existing interests be maintained, which is obviously something that the daimyo cannot tolerate.

I want a formal identity, but I don't want to give up the profits that come from the wrong way, how can there be such a cheap thing!

It's a pity that this force has given up, and I feel that I don't have much to gain by holding it in my hands. The hundreds of brothers of Wasuka, although there is no shortage of people with outstanding martial arts, are just a rabble as a whole, not strong in combat, and they are all restless people......

"You should go to the elders who decide the matter! It's just a tie, and it's really soft-spoken. ”

First, he replied tentatively.

"With the current merits of Lord Supervisor, how can you say that people are light-hearted?" Bee Suga Koroku became anxious for a while, "It's not a secret, the contemptible people have already found several adults, Niwa and Hayashi have not seen any guests, only Lord Sasa has seen it in love, and said that the only one who can help me is you and the prisoner......"

Sensibilities?

"The old Maeno-sama of Sasa-sama's family, and my brother-in-law Maeno Nagayasu are long-lost brothers......"

Together in Owari, separated by no more than a hundred miles, what is the separation? I'm afraid that I couldn't get used to Maeno Nagayasu's behavior in the early years and broke off the relationship, and recently I ran over to talk about what kind of relationship I had to talk about......

"Is this...... The main family has just solved the trouble of the Imagawa family, and the next thing is to attack Saito to the north, if the leader of the small six has made any merits......"

Fan Xiu finally made up her mind. Historically, this force has become a ladder for monkeys to move upward, even if it is not used for themselves, so it is better to seize the opportunity.

"Please make it clear to the Prisoner!"

Wasuka began to look a little brows.

"Hmm...... If you take the initiative to make meritorious deeds and run over to ask for a reward, you will naturally not be taken seriously - just like the two teenagers who ran to seek identity with the head of the Imagawa family general. The icing on the cake is better than sending charcoal in the snow! ”

Even if Bee Suka Koroku has no knowledge, he understands the meaning of this passage.

"But I don't know when the right time is?"

"Meinong has been in business for many years, and if it attacks rashly, it will inevitably be hindered at first...... Do you understand? ”

"Thank you, Lord Supervisor, for your advice!"

"How dare you point out? I didn't say anything. ”

Fan Xiu smiled and shook his head.

The other party also reacted immediately.

"Yes, yes, I'm just sending the maid who is missing from the prisoner."

Look at each other and smile, all without words. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
