Oda Nobunaga, Burning Sky and a group of small surnames walked into the assessment room, Oda Nobunaga looked at the many small surnames around him, waved at them, and the small surnames immediately bowed their heads and exited the assessment room.

When Oda Nobunaga saw the small surnames leaving, he sat at the top of the assessment room. Then he put the folding fan in his hand on the ground, and said loudly to the burning sky: "Xuankong, I order you to lead twenty standing guards to Omi Hengshan Castle today to assist the monkeys in attacking North Omi." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately bowed his head and replied: "Yes, obey the order!" Then Oda Nobunaga took out the letter of appointment from the side and said to the burning air: "I will allocate a hundred kan from the main family to you for the recruitment of peasants and other expenses. ”

At the moment when Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, he stepped forward to take the letter of appointment and dismissal and the letter of withdrawal from Oda Nobunaga's hand, bowed to Oda Nobunaga, and retreated to the position where he was standing.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga got up and walked up to Burning Sky and asked, "Do you know why I sent you to Omi?" After hearing this, Burning Sky raised his head and replied: "In the next heart, the Lord will die for the Lord, and the things that the Lord decides only need to be carried out, and there is no need to know the reason." With that, Burning Sky bowed his head again and bowed to Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga was not happy to be angry when he heard this, and his slender eyes were firmly fixed on the burning sky in front of him, with his head bowed. He walked around the Burning Sky slowly, and then said loudly to the Burning Sky who was trembling a little: "I don't need you to say anything here, you just need to return in half a year." Then he returned to the head and sat down, and said to the burning sky below with his head bowed, "Okay, you go out." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky slowly withdrew from the assessment room. The moment he walked out of the assessment room, a cold sweat fell from his body. Burning Sky glanced back at the assessment room, and seemed to have some understanding of the feeling of trembling and sweating when those important ministers came out of the assessment room after the New Year's assessment.

Later, he returned to his home with a letter of appointment and dismissal, and told Mingshan and Minghai that he was going to the Omi front. After hearing this, Ming Hai's face suddenly became ugly, and he whispered to the burning sky: "Senior brother, why did you have to leave again after resting for a few days?"

After listening to Ming Hai's complaints, Ming Shan said to Ming Hai: "Senior brother, as a samurai, the battlefield is the best destination, how can you wait at home with me all day long." ”

Burning Sky listened to the words of the two, and his face was a little embarrassed, this time he should be away for half a year, and what should Minghai and Mingshan do during this period?

If you bring all two of them to Omi, the danger is too high, and if you are not careful, all three of them will be killed. This also caused the Burning Sky to fall into deep thought.

After a while, Hidecho Kawajiri also learned the news and came to visit his home in the burning air. And Burning Sky also explained to Hidecho Kawajiri that he wanted to ask them to take care of Mingshan and Minghai, and urged them to learn martial arts and military strategies.

Akiyama, who has always had a lot of ideas on his own, once again put forward a different opinion on the proposal to burn the sky, and this time Akiyama wants to go to Omi with the burning of the sky.

And Mingshan also gave his own reasons for doing so, Mingshan said to Burning Sky and Kawajiri Hidenaga: "Minghai is the righteous son of Kawajiri's family, and the next is just a Shamen, and it is inconvenient to stay in Kawajiri's family's house for a long time, and it is inconvenient to follow my senior brother to fight in Kita-Omi, not only can I let my senior brother teach me martial arts and military strategies, but also let me feel the battlefield in advance, which just kills two birds with one stone." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky couldn't help but smile bitterly, Mingshan even said the idiom he taught him yesterday. In the end, at Mingshan's insistence, Burning Sky agreed to take Mingshan to Yokoyama Castle with him, and Meikai was taken home by Hidenaga Kawajiri.

Later, Burning Sky and Mingshan went together to withdraw a hundred copper coins, and went to Yokoyama Castle with twenty members of the Oda family. Burning Sky also took the opportunity to take out a rib and a nagina knife from the armory, and handed them to Mingshan. The moment Mingshan got the equipment, he became extremely excited, and kept thanking the burning sky. After that, he walked out of Gifu Castle with the rest of the Standing Guards, heading towards Kita-Omi.

With twenty standing guards, the two of them did not encounter any danger along the way, and they arrived at Hengshan Castle. Since Burning Sky had gone to Yokoyama Castle to convey the order before, Ashigaru, who was defending the castle, quickly recognized Burning Sky and let Burning Sky and others enter Hengshan Castle after Burning Sky showed a letter of appointment and dismissal.

Although Yokoyama Castle is also called "castle", it can only be said to be a small castle compared to Gifu Castle. Yokoyama Castle is a flat mountain castle built on a low hill next to it, and there are only Ninomaru and Honmaru in the castle, and the buildings are only samurai longhouses, garrisons (cantonment stations), and a rudimentary castle tower, and its role is limited to defending against enemy attacks and guarding the nearby transportation arteries.

Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was resting in Yokoyama Castle, heard the report of his samurai, and immediately got dressed and came out of the house to meet Yakora and his party. Akiyoshi and his entourage waited quietly for Kinoshita Hideyoshi in front of the house where Kinoshita Hideyoshi lived, and after a while, Kinoshita Hideyoshi hurriedly ran out and said to Akinoshita: "Burning Sky Shamen is coming, I don't know what the lord has sent you to convey?" ”

Burning Sky looked at Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who was a little vigilant in front of him, put the letter of appointment given by Oda Nobunaga in Kinoshita's hand from his arms, bowed his head to Kinoshita Hideyoshi and said: "Kinoshita-sama, I was ordered to come to assist my lord in defending the Asai army, this is the appointment and dismissal letter given by the main bus, please take a look." ”

Kinoshita Hideyoshi was silent at first, then opened the letter of appointment and dismissal in his hand, and after carefully browsing it, he said loudly to the burning sky: "It turns out that the lord sent you to assist me, so you have to obey me." With that, he said to the handsome and tall samurai on the side, "Hanbei, you first arrange a place for everyone to live, and then bring the Meisha Gate to the castle tower." ”

With that, Kinoshita Hideyoshi returned the letter of appointment and dismissal to Kinku, and returned to the castle tower with the samurai behind him. Takenaka Hanbei said to the burning sky with a serious face, "Lord Hieiyama, please move down with you." With that, he turned around and walked towards the garrison at the foot of the mountain, and Burning Sky immediately followed with the standing equipment behind him.

Then the half-guards of Takenaka first arranged the standing guards in the garrison, and the burning sky looked at the environment of the garrison, and felt that it was still good, and the standing guards should have no complaints. Then he followed the Takenaka Hanbei towards the samurai longhouse on the mountainside, and the Takenaka Hanbei arranged a cleaner one of the empty samurai longhouses for Burning Sky and Mingshan. After looking at it, he was quite satisfied, so he hid the hundred pieces that he and Mingshan were carrying in the house.

After that, he followed the Takenaka half-guard to the slightly simple castle tower at the top of the mountain.,Before entering the gate, although the samurai on duty in front of the gate didn't ask for it.,But the burning sky still handed over all the equipment on his body to Mingshan, who came with him.。 Seeing this, the handsome face of the Takenaka Hanbei was a little strange, but then he brought the burning sky into the castle tower.
