Chapter 15: The Gap Between Host and Guest
Burning Sky followed the Takenaka Hanbei into the humble castle tower, where Kinoshita Hideyoshi, whose facial features resembled monkeys, sat on the top, and the two sides were filled with samurai from Kinoshita Hideyoshi. Moreover, all the people in the castle tower had ribs and knives stuck in their waists.
The noisy castle guard fell silent the moment the Burning Sky came in, and the Takenaka half-guard looked at the broken cloth group at the end, stood in place and hesitated for a moment, but still said to the Burning Sky, "Lord Hieiyama, this is your seat." With that, he turned around and walked towards the seat next to Kinoshita Hideyoshi.
After hearing this, he didn't think about it, and after nodding to Kinoshita Hideyoshi at the top, he sat directly on the cloth ball. In an instant, the castle tower resumed its previous noise again, and several low-level samurai sitting next to the Burning Sky also pointed at the Burning Sky with a disdainful look of disdain.
After the half-guard of Takenaka sat down on Kinoshita Hideyoshi's right hand, Kinoshita Hideyoshi got up and said, "The assessment begins!" The hustle and bustle of the castle tower suddenly fell into silence.
Kinoshita Hideyoshi paused and said in a somewhat funny voice that sounded like it was in the burning sky: "This family was ordered to attack the Asai family, the traitor of the alliance, I wonder what everyone's opinion is?" ”
As soon as Kinoshita Hideyoshi's voice fell, the fierce-looking samurai on his left stood up and said, "My lord, since Nobunaga has sent Mt. Hieiyama Meishamen to assist us, I think Mingshamen must have a high opinion, so I might as well listen to what he has to say." ”
After listening to the words of Masakatsu Wasuka on the side, the Takenaka Hanbei wanted to get up and say something, but was signaled by Kinoshita Hideyoshi at the head not to speak. Then Kinoshita Hideyoshi got up and came to the burning sky sitting at the end, and said to the burning sky: "I don't know what the high opinion of Ming Shamen is?" ”
Burning Sky looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who looked like a corporal in front of him, raised his head and said, "I have an ancient saying in Mingguo, I wonder if the adults are willing to encourage him?" ”
After hearing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi made a rather curious look, and said to the burning sky: "I would like to encourage Mingshamen." ”
After hearing this, he smiled and said in Chinese: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." (Uttering from Dong Qichang's "Painting Purpose" in the Ming Dynasty, here is used to burn the air to flicker Kinoshita Hideyoshi, you don't have to care about the year.) )”
Kinoshita Hideyoshi was a little confused when he heard this, so he turned his head to look at the Takenaka Hanbei who had already gotten up. Takenaka Hanbei walked towards Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and applauded and said to the burning sky: "I have heard that Lord Hieiyama is erudite and knowledgeable, although I have never heard this sentence in the next, but the meaning of it is still understood in the next. ”
Saying this, the Takenaka Hanbei had already walked in front of Kinoshita Hideyoshi, bowed his head to Kinoshita Hideyoshi, and said, "My lord, what Lord Hieiyama means is that while studying, you should also have a lot of experience in the world, and you can't just read and not practice. After Takenaka Hanbei finished speaking, he said to the burning sky: "This is what Mt. Hiei meant. ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately bowed his head and said, "It's exactly what Lord Takenaka said, in the next..."
"Bastard, are you saying that the lord is shallow?" One of the samurai sitting in front of him suddenly interrupted Burning Sky's words, and then all the samurai stood up and glared at Burning Sky, and the samurai sitting next to Burning Sky even pulled out half of the sword at his waist.
At this time, I heard Kinoshita Hideyoshi say: "Bastard Quan Bingwei, how can you be so rude." After that, Kinoshita Hideyoshi bowed his head to the burning sky and apologized, saying that he had no way to discipline his subordinates, and hoped that the burning sky would forgive his sins. After hearing this, Burning Sky bowed his head to Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said: "Kinoshita-sama, the intention of the next is to be willing to serve the adults, go through more experience, and have no other meaning, and I hope that the adults will forgive the sins." ”
After hearing the words of the Burning Sky, the samurai in the castle tower put the swords in their hands into the sheath, snorted coldly at the Burning Sky, and sat down again. The Takenaka Hanbei also sat down with Kinoshita Hideyoshi as he returned, and then Kinoshita Hideyoshi said to everyone: "The family should continue to carry out the disintegration of the Asai local wealthy clan, persuade the Omi wealthy clan to join the family, and eat away at the power of the Asai family step by step. ”
After that, Kinoshita Hideyoshi assigned another task to everyone, because he had just arrived in Yokoyama Castle, so there was no important task assigned to him, and finally Kinoshita Hideyoshi asked him to go to a nearby village to recruit fifty peasant soldiers to help strengthen the city.
Then Kinoshita Hideyoshi said, "Please, everyone!" In the loud encouragement, the evaluation of the smell of gunpowder was somewhat sufficient. After all the samurai left, the half-guard of Takenaka ran to Ming Hai, who was talking to Ming Shan, and whispered to the burning sky: "Lord Hieiyama, all of you colleagues are rude today, and I have come to apologize to your lordship, and I hope that Lord Hieizan will forgive me." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a smile: "Lord Takenaka said this, today is a rudeness, if Lord Takenaka is free, I would like to ask Lord Takenaka to ask for some things about conscription." After hearing this, the half-guard of Takenaka nodded and said, "I will visit tomorrow, and I hope that Lord Hieiyama will not care about the abruptness of the next place." ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky smiled and said goodbye to the half-guards of Takenaka, and left the castle tower with Meishan, who was one size younger than him. Takenaka's half-guard looked at the figure of the burning sky in the distance, couldn't help but sigh, and turned back to the castle tower. At this time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Wasuka Masakatsu were looking at the back of the burning sky in front of the castle tower, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi whispered to Wasuka Masakatsu and asked, "Masakatsu, did I have something to do today?" ”
After hearing this, Wasuka Masakatsu looked at the returning Takenaka Hanbei and said, "My lord, what you did today is Liwei, how can there be a right or wrong. After hearing this, the half-guard of Takenaka, who was not far away, bowed his head to Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said: "The lord has indeed gone too far today, and the words and deeds of the Ming Shamen in Mt. Hiei have been favored recently, and he will definitely be the pillar of the family in the future. ”
After hearing this, Kinoshita Hideyoshi muttered in a low voice, "A seed?" After a few breaths, Kinoshita Hideyoshi laughed and said, "If an eagle has not yet learned to fly, it is just an eagle, so how can I be afraid of the sound of an eagle in the air?" With that, he and Wasuka Masakatsu turned around and returned to the castle tower, leaving the half-guards of Takenaka, who looked a little worried, to ponder in front of the castle tower.
After Burning Sky and Mingshan returned home, they said to Mingshan: "You go and tell the congregation to be ready now, and follow me to the nearby villages to recruit peasant soldiers the day after tomorrow." After hearing this, Mingshan carried the naginata knife that was much higher than himself, bowed his head to the burning sky, and then ran down the mountain. Burning Sky looked at the castle tower at the top of the mountain outside, and a seed in his heart seemed to be a little ready to move.
