Chapter 43 Xinzhong Yuanfu

After Oda Nobunaga decided on what to do with the incineration, he walked out of the assessment room with his surname and walked towards his apartment. The rest of the generals also gradually withdrew from the assessment room, and Shibata Katsuya saw the burning sky still lying on the ground, and stepped forward to the burning sky and said: "It's a blessing to save your life, you don't have to worry too much about others, protect the young master well!" With that, Shibata Katsuya left.

After waiting for all the generals to withdraw from the castle hall, Maeda Toshiya walked up to the burning sky and helped the burning sky on the ground. Burning Sky glanced up at the sky and saw the lightning looming in the clouds, and then bowed his head to Maeda Toshiya in front of him and said: "The soft clouds move by the wind, and the thunder is born from the clouds, Maeda-sama, thank you for your help!" ”

Then the burning sky slowly walked out of the city hall under the watchful eyes of the horses in the courtyard, and the warriors on duty outside the gate already knew that the burning sky was pardoned, and they did not embarrass the burning sky too much. The samurai and ashigaru who had been on duty on both sides of the road had long since dispersed, but the samurai families who had been hiding in the house had quietly walked out of their homes. Some unknown martial artists were playing outside with bamboo knives in their hands, but when they heard the reputation, they recognized that it was the son of Ma Hui who he had once taught.

Apparently, the child was no longer recognizable when he saw the burning sky, and when he saw that someone was looking at him, he wanted to step forward. At this time, the servant on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pull him back, and then hurried back home with him.

Burning Sky laughed when he saw it, and then walked towards his house, which had not been inhabited for many months, and the outside of the house was not stained with dust, and after Burning Sky saw it, he naturally thought of the Kawajiri family and Ming Hai. Under the porch, he took off his mud-stained shin shoes and opened the wooden door of his room.

The next second, it was Kawajiri father and son who sat around the hanging stove in the Burning Empty room, and when they saw Burning Sky coming back, they immediately poured a cup of hot boiling water, which was handed to Burning Sky by Hidetaka Kawajiri. After taking the hot water, Sakaku smiled at Hidetaka Kawajiri and drank the hot water in the cup.

A few days later, Akiyama was also picked up by Hidetaka Kawajiri from Yokoyama, and according to Akiyama, after Kinoshita Hideyoshi returned to Yokoyama Castle, he handed over Yokoyama to Hidehisa Senishi to manage. And because Fushiwa Akijiro was disdainful of Senshi Hidehisa's high-pressure and intimidating management, he ran away and left Yokoyama two days after Senshi Hidehisa took over Yokoyama. The Haima Yijia also returned to Jiashan Village with the Jiashan peasant soldiers because Xianshi Hidejiu was too harsh on the peasant soldiers.

After listening to Mingshan's words, Burning Sky stood in the room for more than a dozen breaths, and then sat down silently and told Mingshan: "Don't mention these words to others!" After that, he put the repaired naginata knife that Mingshan brought back from Hengshan on the weapon rack in the house, and took out the usual copper coins and asked Mingshan to go outside to buy some daily necessities.

At the beginning of May, Oda Nobutada suddenly visited the Burning Sky where he was still recuperating. Burning Sky was practicing the Naginata technique outside the house, and suddenly saw a young man wearing the Oda family crest Haori pulled in front of him, and Burning Sky immediately stopped the Naginata, bowed his head to Oda Nobutada, who still had his hair, and said, "Meet the young master!" ”

Oda Nobutada looked at the burning sky in front of him, turned around and took a sword from the hand of the servant, and then handed it to the burning sky, and deliberately said to the burning sky in a slightly mature tone: "Mingshamen, I will return this thing to you on behalf of my father, and after your cultivation is over, come and serve me." With that, Oda Nobutada put the sword in the hands of the Burning Void, and then left the longhouse where the low-ranking samurai lived with his attendants.

After seeing Oda Nobutada leave, Sakaku held the sword in his hand, and then pulled out the knife and looked at it carefully. The inscription on the sword is still vigorous, the blade is still as bright as ever, and the sword is slashed a few times in place, and then the knife is put into the sheath. After standing in place for a while, he returned to the house with the knife and the naginata knife stuck in his side. The cherry tree in front of the samurai longhouse is the same as before, but the cherry blossoms that have been knocked down by the rain are covered under the tree.

In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of May, and a few days earlier, Ozora had recovered his health and reported to Yashiki, where Oda Nobutada lived in the castle hall. At this time, Oda Nobutada had already shaved the hair on his head into a moon head, and was given the name Oda Kankuro Nobutaga by Oda Nobunaga. Burning Sky can now be regarded as a position such as the head of the Ashigaru group, but it is clear that the burden on his body is heavier than that of the ordinary Ashigaru group leader, and although there is more than one person who guards Oda Nobutada, such a task is also very difficult.

Although Oda Nobutada was much more peaceful than Oda Nobunaga's stubborn youth, the blood flowing in Oda Nobutada's body made Oda Nobutada extremely interested in war and governing the people. Every day, he would bring twenty elite members of the Oda family with him, and follow Oda Nobutada to visit different parts of the country. At the same time, he also served as the writer, recording the problems found by Oda Nobutada and the process of the visit.

Oda Nobunaga didn't hate Oda Nobutada's behavior of visiting around, but he specially sent Sasa Narimasa to remind Oda Nobutada not to be deceived by what he saw in front of him. At the same time, whenever Oda Nobutada finished his visit, Oda Nobunaga would call Oda Nobutada over for questioning, as if he was a loving father who cared about his children. Such a day is very comfortable, and even makes the burning sky gradually forget the appearance of the previous life and death battle in Kita-Omi.

However, in the Warring States period, a peaceful and comfortable life was always short-lived, and one day in early June, Burning Sky went to protect Oda Nobutada as usual. Suddenly, a horse rushed past Burning Sky and ran straight towards Gifu Castle Honmaru, who faintly smelled an uneasy breath.

Sure enough, soon after, Oda Nobunaga ordered the high-ranking samurai in Gifu Castle to be summoned to the castle tower for an evaluation, and Oda Nobutada, as the young master, was naturally summoned over. The Samurai and other guards were all sent home to stand by, and for a while, the atmosphere in Gifu Castle became tense again.

Mingshan looked at the burning sky who hurriedly returned to his home, and asked in a low voice to the burning sky, "Senior brother, what happened?" Burning Sky said expressionlessly: "It should be that there is movement on the side of the North Omi, you hurry up and prepare the straw sandals for the road, and I will prepare the rice balls." With that, he went into the house, opened the rice bag, and began to prepare the strategic march rations, although Oda troops would be in charge of transporting and raising military rations when they went north, but it was always good to prepare some of them yourself.

As expected, Oda Nobunaga issued a mobilization order in the afternoon of the same day, summoning the ashigaru and peasant troops in the territories of Mino and Owari to prepare to march towards Kita-Omi. And in this battle, Oda Nobutada was also selected by Oda Nobunaga to enter and exit the battle, and became Oda Nobutada's first battle, and naturally the burning sky also followed Oda Nobutada's battle in Kita Omi.
