Half a year later, because Hosokawa Nobumoto completed the task of stabilizing the Ichijo sect, he was promoted to a general, and he was crowned with 10,000 stone Zhixing of Zhiduo County.

When Hosokawa Nobumoto returned to Devon Castle again, he saw that outside the city gate, his retainers were already waiting; Seeing Mochizuki Xue looking at herself with tears in her eyes, it was like a world away.

"I, Nobumoto Hosokawa, are back! The original Hosokawa Nobumoto is dead, and now standing in front of you is a new me! From today onwards, I will try my best to protect all of this, so please do your best to help me! Hosokawa Nobumoto rode on his horse, and his heroic oath resounded in the sky.

"The ministers are willing to die for the loyalty of the Lord!" The three ladies and all the retainers all knelt down and shouted slogans, not knowing what happened to the lord suddenly.

"I decided to form 300 standing guns ashigaru, with Shima Katsutake, Igasaki Michishun, Takue Kiyohiro, Hayashizaki Shigenobu, Takigawa interests, and Kanamaru Shoji as the leaders of the ashigaru group, and incorporated and commanded the standing ashigaru, and those who performed well were promoted to the ashigaru generals under the command, and Honda Masanobu as a military advisor, first temporarily commanded the standing ashigaru, and assessed their results." Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't go back to the assessment room anymore, and directly arranged government affairs on the spot.

"Yes! The subordinates are willing to die for their family's loyalty! The man who shouted his name hurried out to receive his order.

"The horseback samurai team, bow foot light, and spear foot light of the family are officially merged into German Wenbei, and the commander is Tao Qingxian, the general of the army! The rest of the crowd must obey the command! "The Hosokawa family's first formed reserve was born, although it was only five hundred people.

"Huh? Your Majesty thanks the lord for his kindness, and is willing to serve his family to death! Tao Qingxian didn't expect Hosokawa Nobugen to hand over all the military forces to him, and sighed that he had come down from the horse riding team before, not because he was not welcomed, but because the pattern was too small, and he had not yet found a suitable position for himself, and was ashamed of his previous dissatisfaction.

"In addition, Tao Qingxian's six hundred Zhixing from Sanchuan Village, as well as the 1,800 Zhixing from Shangchuan Village, Xiachuan Village, and Beixintian Village will be sealed to you, and the specific list Yahachiro will notify you later, so I won't name them one by one." Hosokawa Nobumoto once again said that these samurai would be more loyal to him if they had the roots of the land.

"Thank you, lord!" The ministers of the Hosokawa family bowed down one after another.

"Okay, I'm tired too, let's go back first, step up your training, and there will be countless opportunities for meritorious service." Hosokawa Nobumoto turned over and dismounted, he saw that Mochizuki Xue seemed to be obviously uncomfortable, and walked over to help her up, shushing and asking for warmth as he walked.

"Huh? Sick? What disease? Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned when he heard that Mochizuki was sick.

"Yes, Your Highness, for more than half a year, the doctor said that it was occasional typhoid fever, and now it is mainly due to weakness, fatigue, and throat inflammation." Oda Inu explained on the side that she has been taking care of Mochizuki Snow recently.

"Is that serious?"

"The doctor said that you need to be well-cultivated." Oda replied.

"Then take more supplements and take care of your body." Hosokawa Nobumoto said with concern, "It just so happens that quail breeding is also good, so I asked someone to boil quail soup to make up for it." ”

"Huh? Eat the little quails again, they are so pitiful, can they just stew and not eat? Why don't you let them take a hot bath? Oda Dog's compassion is overflowing again, and she loves to feed these quails when she is usually bored.

"Uh~~Drink bath water~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly felt speechless, this statement made him feel sick to his stomach, but this little guy's ideological work still needs to be done.

"Third sister, you know that there is a saying in the Buddhist family that 'saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter', and I am accumulating virtue for this group of poor quails, so that they can enjoy happiness in their next life."

"Oh, so that's the case, then hurry up, let's start with this most disobedient one." After speaking, the little angel suddenly turned into a little devil, grabbed a so-called "disobedient" quail and went straight to the room.

"Come, slow down, lie down." Hosokawa Nobumoto took Mochizuki back to the living room and helped her lie on the couch. "By the way, Cher, do you want to sing that song "Knowing Love"?"

"Uh~~uh~~" Mochizuki Xue sighed a few times.

"Oh yes, your throat is inflamed and you can't speak, I guess it was a hallucination before you died." Hosokawa Nobumoto touched Mochizuki's forehead, but fortunately there were no signs of fever.

"Huh?" Mochizuki looked at Hosokawa Nobumoto strangely, and after not seeing him for half a year, he seemed to have suddenly matured a lot.

"I'll be here with you tonight and tell you what I've seen and heard in the past six months, right?" Hosokawa Nobumoto lay on the side of Mochizuki Snow and gently began to talk about the temple life in the past six months.

"Don't look at me as unrestrained on the surface, in fact, there is news coming from far and wide every night." Hosokawa Nobumoto first talked about all kinds of darkness in the temple, and then talked about the great events that happened in the world.

"For example, the seventeen people of the Takenaka Hanbei took Inabayama Castle lightly, this person is really powerful, and I once fell in love with him, when the lord also sent someone to go, claiming that as long as the Hanbei could join the Oda family, he promised to give him Mino Banguo, but the Hanbei refused. Later, the Takenaka Hanbei returned Inabayama Castle to Saito Ryuko, declaring that he was carrying out this operation in order to reinvigorate Ryuko, and then he lived in seclusion in Omi Ibukiyama, and is now hired by Asai Nagamasa, the lord of Omi Kotani Castle, to obtain the fief of Kusano-kan in Higashi-Asai County. ”

"Huh~~Huh~~"

"Huh?" Hosokawa Nobumoto was forgetting himself, and the sound of Mochizuki Yuki's gentle sleep was heard in his ears, and he turned his head to look at her beautiful face, which felt more and more familiar as he got older, which was very strange.

"Your Highness! Quail soup is ready! Oda came in with a steaming bowl of soup.

"Shh~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto hurriedly signaled for silence, "Xue'er is asleep, wait for her to wake up and drink it." ”

"But this one is cold." Oda asked in a whisper.

"Then you'll drink it, there's a lot of it anyway." Hosokawa Nobumoto tapped the little gluttonous cat on the head, and the Oda dog stuck out his tongue in a strange way.

"Third sister, you will be eighteen next year, do you want a baby?" Watching the Oda dog gulp down the soup, his body has matured, like a small peach that has just rimulated.

"Okay! Okay! In fact, my brother has been urging me for a long time about this matter, but I have been covering for you, saying that I haven't played enough for the time being, and my brother has educated me many times for this. The Oda dog looked pitiful.

"Shhh, let's go out first, let Xue'er have a good rest, don't wake her up." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Mochizuki Yuki's throbbing brows, worried that he would disturb her again, and motioned for Oda to leave the room gently.

Hosokawa Nobumoto came to the cloister, looked up at the starry sky, and did not return to his senses for a long time, as if he had comprehended a situation in his life.
