After leaving Oda Nobutada's house, Sabei walked briskly towards his house. At night, Sabei who was lying on the futon thought about Oda Nobunaga's verdict to everyone today, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Oda Nobunaga hoped to settle the matter smoothly this time, but maybe it would backfire.

Since the grievances between Yushiba Hideyoshi and Shibata Katsuya have been settled, it is not easy to resolve, but judging from the current situation, it is better to resolve this matter smoothly, otherwise once the handling loses stability, I am afraid that the interior of the Oda family will also suffer a blow.

Now I have to take advantage of the fact that Yushiba Hideyoshi is not yet full of wings to develop quickly, so that when Yushiba Hideyoshi wants to do it to himself, he has the power to protect himself. Just like the Battle of Fuchu Cage Castle and the Battle of Mt. Hino, Takenaka Hanbei just used a stratagem to put Shibata Katsuie and himself in a desperate situation.

The next day, Sabei woke up in the morning, put on his regular clothes, wrapped his armor in cloth, and then inserted the press cut that Oda Nobunaga gave him into his waist. Sabei hung his wrapped armor in the saddle and led his black steed out of the house.

As soon as Sabei walked out of the house, he saw Kawajiri Hidetaka and Oda Nobutada and others, Sabei smiled and bowed to Oda Nobutada, and said, "Young master, why did you come to see me off in person?" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, Oda Nobutada laughed and said, "You are going to be my sister-in-law now, and I don't think anyone will say anything!" ”

After hearing this, Zuobei said with a smile: "The young master's words are bad, and people's words are terrifying, so the young master should be careful in doing things in the future!" ”

Oda Nobutada nodded and waved his hand at Tokii Katsu behind him, and after Tokii Katsu understood, he took out twenty small coins and handed them to Sabei. Seeing this, Sabei took the small judgment and said to Oda Nobutada: "Thank you for the young master for the retainers under the door!" With that, Sabei bowed his head to the others and led the black horse out of the city.

Outside Gifu Castle, Sabei glanced back at the people standing in front of the gate of Gifu Castle, bowed his head again, and then turned over and rode on a black horse and ran in the direction of Azuchi.

Two days later, Sabei rode to the foot of Mt. Azuchi. Yamashita Shinsuke, who stayed at Yamashita Shimi, listened to the report of the standing guard on duty, immediately put down the file in his hand, ran out of the house and ordered Standing Bei to open the door.

Sabei turned over and dismounted, and under the gaze of everyone, he led Yamashita Shinsuke into the barrage. After seeing Sabei and Yamashita Shinsuke enter the house, the standing guards took Sabei's horse to the stable.

After Shinsuke Yamashita entered the house, he took away the file in the house, bowed his head to Sabei a little nervously, and said, "My lord, why did you come back alone?" Could it be? ”

After hearing this, Sabei first informed Yamashita Shinsuke about his return to the customs and the change of his name, and then took out the Wanxing form and said to Yamashita Shinsuke: "The lord gave me 130 koku for the old Hirai and 1,120 koku for Echizen, and I came to Azuchi Town this time to inspect the old Hirai collar with you." ”

After seeing Wan Xing's appearance, Yamashita Shinsuke said with some excitement: "The lord now has nearly 4,000 stones, and he is really happy for the lord in the next!" But after that, the burden on the lord's body will be heavier! I also hope that the lord can continue to maintain his motivation and break out of the world in this troubled world! ”

After hearing this, Sabei smiled and said, "Without further ado, you and I will go and inspect the old Hirai collar now!" Yamashita Shinsuke saw that Sabei was so anxious, so he explained a few words to the standing reserve of the Tsunaka, and then followed Sabei to the old leader of Hirai.

After inspecting his new knowledge in Minami Omi, Sabei said to Yamashita Shinsuke: "Echizen is complicated, it is inconvenient for me to stay in Minami Omi for a long time, I will send other people to assist you in the management of Minami Omi's Zhixing place later, and I will send someone to come over with a letter in a few days, so I will work hard for you first!" ”

Yamashita Shinsuke saw that Sabei was going to leave again, and said to Sabei: "The lord is running all the way back from Gifu, so it's better to rest at the bottom of the mountain for the night, and then set off for Momoyama Castle. ”

After hearing this, Sabei said with a smile: "I am now 'the spring breeze is proud, and I can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." Yan Bi turned over his horse and waved the whip in his hand and ran along the Hokuriku National Highway towards Echizen.

Shinsuke Yamashita recalled the Chinese poems spoken by Sabei, and said to several clansmen behind him: "From now on, you will all have to learn Chinese poetry and Chinese dialect, even Fukuda Maru will also start to learn and understand Chinese characters." After listening to Yamashita Shinsuke's words, Rie Toya, who was coaxing Fukuda Maru on the side, whispered to her husband: "Husband, Fukuda Maru is only two years old, can he learn to understand Chinese characters?" ”

"In the woman's opinion, the lord is a native of the Ming Kingdom, if the lord speaks a Chinese poem or Chinese dialect in the future, others don't understand, and Fukuda Maru understands it alone, this will be of great help to Fukuda Maru in the future, the kindness of the lord's family is not a constant thing, my father's lesson has been proven, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again!" After Shinsuke Yamashita left these words, he returned to the house with the saber at his waist, leaving his clan and his wife in the open space in the cave.

When Sabei returned to Momoyama Castle, he also made a tour of Chiyuki in Tsuruga Prefecture. After receiving the recognition and allegiance of the ground squire, Sabei brought back 200 troops borrowed from the former Poyoshi. When the former Hayoshitsugu left Tsuruga Prefecture, he sent Fifty Men to escort Sabei and the money and goods belonging to Sabei back to Momoyama Castle.

After Sabei returned to Momoyama Castle, Fushiwa Akijiro and Right Ichisuke and others were relieved. Sabei informed everyone about his change of name and customs, and showed it to everyone. After reading it, Fushiwa Meijiro said to Sabei: "My lord, this time you have won the appreciation of His Royal Highness Nobunaga, it can be said that you have become famous in a battle, compared to the previous name of a fierce general, I am afraid that the enemy will worry about your strategy again in the future!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei and the others laughed, and then Sabei said, "Everyone must remember what happened this time and avoid such things in the future, otherwise there will be no such good luck as this time." ”

After listening to Sabei's words, everyone bowed their heads and said yes, and when Sabei saw this, he took off the pressure cut around his waist and said to everyone: "Everyone follow me into the house and talk!" With his hands in his hand, he walked towards the assessment room of the castle hall. After hearing this, everyone also told them to be on duty and followed the guards into the house.

Sabei, who sat at the head of the assessment room, respectfully placed the sword holder behind him, and then said to the people who had already sat down consciously: "This sword is called 'Pressure Cut' because it is the sword of the lord, and it is the work of the 'Authentic Ten Philosophers' Hasebe Guoshi, and now the lord has given me this precious sword, and this sword is placed behind me to urge me to attack North Vietnam as soon as possible." ”

After hearing the origin of the ornately decorated sword behind Sabei, the crowd exploded, and everyone began to discuss fiercely among themselves. Especially the old team who worked for Sabei early, everyone's face was full of excitement.

In their eyes, His Royal Highness Nobunaga's gift of his sword to the lord Sabei was not only a reward for the merits of Sabei before he conquered South Vietnam and an affirmation of Sabei, but also a sign that he had chosen to be a disciple of Sabei.
