"In Shimohosokawa Rokuro Nobumoto, disturb me late at night, and I hope Lord Ando will forgive me." In the castle tower of the northern castle, Nobumoto Hosokawa and Mamoru Ando sat on the ground.

"Lord Hosokawa is polite, I understand the kindness of adults, but I am afraid that there will be many inconveniences during the day and will be used by people with intentions." Ando Shou has also been a human spirit for many years, so he recruited Takenaka Hanbei as his son-in-law.

"This is Mrs. Aji's letter, please look at it with Lord Ando." With that, Hosokawa Nobumoto handed a letter to Mamoru Ando.

"Thank you Hosokawa-sama for sending it in person, and I would like to thank you for alleviating your worries in recent years." Mamoru Ando couldn't hold back his excitement, took the letter and slowly began to read.

"Huh~~ Knowing that their family is safe, I am finally relieved. Since he was expelled from the Saito family by the lord, there has been no news, and I don't want it to be intentional by the half-guards. After Mamoru Ando finished reading the letter, a heart that had always been hanging finally landed.

"Lord Takenaka is afraid of implicating the Ando family, so he forbids his family to contact him, but Mrs. Aji is concerned about the health of Lord Ando, so she asked me to come down." Hosokawa Nobumoto said as he considered preparing to test Mamoru Ando.

"Yes, I also understand the intention of the half-guard, but it's a pity ~~hey~~. By the way, Hosokawa-sama, you stayed with the half-guard for a few days, did he say anything? Mamoru Ando actually led the conversation to the topic himself.

"Lord Takenaka is still very concerned about the old master, and after hearing about the alliance between the family and the Asai family, he is ready to leave again and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests. I wanted to persuade Lord Takenaka in the next book, but it's a pity, hey~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to tell the truth, and did not take the opportunity to make up nonsense to deceive Mamoru Ando to surrender, because he knew that in fact, this was exactly what Mamoru Ando was testing him, and he knew best what kind of person Takenaka Hanbei was.

"Hehe, sure enough, I already knew that Hanbei was a loyal and talented person, otherwise I wouldn't have married the little girl to him." Mamoru Ando nodded approvingly, but at the same time satisfied with Hosokawa Nobumoto's honesty.

"Now that the letter has been brought, I will not bother it anymore, and I will take my leave while it is dark." Hosokawa Nobumoto resolutely decided to leave, and did not send out the meaning of the invitation for the time being, otherwise it would make the other party feel very utilitarian, and in the name of sending a letter, it would actually mean the opposite.

"Oh? Hosokawa-sama is in such a hurry to leave? Mamoru Ando asked in surprise, he hadn't been in it for a quarter of an hour.

"Exactly, after a long time, I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to adults, after all, it's just to send a letter, and it's not beautiful to be misunderstood." After speaking, Hosokawa Nobumoto got up and said goodbye.

"Thank you again Hosokawa-sama for the letter, please be careful along the way." Mamoru Ando kept sending Hosokawa Nobumoto out of the city.

Looking at Hosokawa Nobumoto, who was gradually leaving, he muttered to himself: "I didn't expect it to really leave like this, I thought I would take the opportunity to solicit it, but it turned out to be. Hey~~ At a young age, you can advance and retreat to a certain extent, not impatient or impatient, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and people want to forcibly have a disgusted mood, when will the lord have such a mind. Thinking of Saito Ryuko's roaring face, Mamoru Ando shook his head with a sigh and turned to close the city gate.

"My lord, my subordinates don't understand, why don't you take the opportunity to go against the Ando family?" Sun Shiro followed behind Nobumoto Hosokawa and asked puzzled.

"It's really stupid, the lord is retreating as advance, leaving a deep impression on people, and after a long time of contact, the relationship is familiar, and naturally you can achieve what you want." The fan on the side clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking like he was pointing at the maze.

"Yes, if you start soliciting as soon as you come up, it will only make people think that you have ill intentions, and you are uneasy and kind to come to deliver the letter." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the fan approvingly, he and Sun Shiro are both talented in both civil and military affairs, and now they are prominent in the crowd, so they are often brought with them.

And this fan, especially for the handling of interpersonal relationships, is like a marshmallow, which is popular everywhere you go.

"See the lord." In the Kiyoshu assessment room, because of the return of Hosokawa Nobumoto, Oda Nobunaga specially summoned all the ministers to come to the meeting.

"Rokuro has worked this trip, let's talk about the situation." Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Hosokawa Nobunaga gently, and after running for two months, his skin was a little dark.

"Back to the lord, this trip to Omi is going well, and an alliance agreement has been signed, so Princess Ashi will marry into the Asai family according to the wedding date. In addition, His Majesty also visited Takenaka Hanbei and Ando Mamoru respectively..."Hosokawa Nobumoto 1510 told him in detail about his experience here.

"Haha, good! Rokuro is worthy of being the first wise general of the family, and he formed a good relationship with the Mino Ando family so quickly. Oda Nobunaga was overjoyed when he heard this, and praised him and said, "Ichibashi Nagatoshi, the security work of Princess Aichi and his relatives will be handed over to you." ”

"Yes! Please rest assured that your majesty will send Princess Aichi to Omi Kotani Castle safely. "Ichibashi Nagatoshi was originally the lord of Mino Fukushu Castle, but he took refuge in the Oda family two years ago, and through his local connections, he thought that even if he walked in an enemy country, he would be safe and sound.

"Hmm~~ I decided to marry the five virtues to the sons of the Matsudaira family, so as to better stabilize the alliance. Nobumori Sakuma! The security work of Princess Wude and her relatives will be handed over to you! "Oda Nobunaga is now using the means of harmony, and he is already familiar with the road, and he can be caught.

"Yes! Please rest assured! The minister will definitely send Princess Gotoku to Okazaki Castle safely! Sakuma Nobumori received the order of the urn.

"Rokuro and Yonegoro cooperate to adjust the wealthy clans in various parts of Mino, and it is important to make the Saito family monarchs and ministers deviate from Germany and reduce the obstacles to attacking Mino Province!" Oda Nobunaga changed Hosokawa Nobumoto's main direction of attack to Mino Province.

"It's the lord!" Hosokawa Nobumoto gladly accepted the order, and finally didn't have to deal with those bald donkeys.

"As for the vacated Nagashima side, it will be handed over to Takigawa Kazuyoshi. Remember! Be sure to maintain stability! You can't attack Mino, and you can't cause trouble to Xiao Wall! Oda Nobunaga said with great seriousness.

"Yes, my subordinates are commanded." Takigawa Kazuyi accepted the appointment with a bitter face.

"Everyone go down and get ready for battle, and take advantage of this autumn harvest to launch an attack." Oda Nobunaga initiated a mobilization order.

"Huh? Lord, won't the family delay the autumn harvest? As soon as they heard this, the retainers began to be uneasy.

"Afraid of what? The lord of Kajida Castle, Tadano Sato, has been rebelled by Yonegoro, and he is about to respond to the inside, so he only needs to mobilize half of the peasant soldiers, and he will not delay the autumn harvest of his family. "Oda Nobunaga is a rare person to find out about the internal response, but in fact, he already has a thousand standing reserves, which will not affect the autumn harvest at all.

"Report! Oh no, my lord! Kyoto has changed dramatically! General Yoshiki was killed by the Miyoshi family! ”
