"Your son...... Is Kogoro okay? ”

Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting on the main seat, asked with a calm face.

"Thanks to the care of the lord, although Kogoro is seriously injured, he has been treated by a famous doctor in Kyoto, and he is fine, but he ......"

"Jubei, what I don't like the most is the way you talk and slurred,"

Although Oda Nobunaga still had that expressionless face, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was sitting below, had already heard a trace of dissatisfaction from his lord's tone.

"It's rude...... Kogoro is fine, but for some reason, he still hasn't woken up. ”

"So, it's been almost a month since the retreat from Dango to today, and he's been asleep all the time?"

"Yes, I'm ashamed."

"As long as it's okay...... If it really doesn't work, let's delay his marriage with Ah Xiang a little later, alas......"

Oda Nobunaga sighed, at this time, he no longer had his usual domineering and domineering spirit, but was more like a kind and peaceful parent, worried about his children's affairs.

"The lord is very thoughtful for the wise family, and the wise one is grateful!"

Akechi Mitsuhide bent down, he had already guessed that Oda Nobunaga cared more about his son-in-law than about his son.

"By the way, I heard that in this battle of Tango, two people under your command performed very well, right?"

Oda Nobunaga suddenly became interested.

"If memory serves, their names should be ......"

Maybe it's a matter of people's words, Oda Nobunaga didn't even remember their names!

"It's Keiji Maeda and Ke'er Caizang of the main family." Akechi Mitsuhide reminded.

"Yes, yes, yes...... Look at my memory...... Jubei, they're in Kyoto this time, right? ”

"Yes."

"Then call them over, I'll see them if they're talents!"

Oda Nobunaga's interest grew.

"Keiji Maeda, I know, that kid, when he was in Owari, was a master who would cause trouble, and he was crazy all day long, and he didn't have a serious ......"

Oda Nobunaga was very happy in front of Akechi Mitsuhide, and counted Maeda Keiji's no.

But he seems to have forgotten whether he is qualified to talk about others, a certain guy was called "Owari Big Fool" back then! ……

At the cost of almost my life, I, Akechi Nobumitsu, and Keiji Maeda and Keira Caizo, completed their respective missions in different areas.

After killing the enemy's lieutenant commander and cutting off the enemy's horse seal, Maeda Keiji and Kerra caused complete chaos in the Maori army's main formation.

This is also thanks to Akai Naomasa.

Akai Naomasa took almost all of his men out, and there were only 500 people in the camp guarding the formation.

This can't be said that he is stupid, if it were me, in the face of such a huge advantage and such an attractive result, I would also fall out of the nest.

In any case, his decision ultimately led to the success of Keiji Maeda and Keer Caizang.

In the wake of the chaos in the Front, the Maori Army received two more pieces of bad news.

One was the wounded of the general Akai Naomasa, and it was a serious injury.

The other is that the main force of the Wise Army is back!

Faced with such a situation, anyone with a little brain will understand.

It's time to retreat!

The Maori army, which had no time to take care of him, retreated to the western part of Tango somewhat "decently" under the command of the remaining generals.

When Keiji Maeda, who was covered with wounds, and Ke'er returned to the Chinese army camp, there were only three cavalrymen left around them, and they were all seriously wounded.

But it's best to be able to get out of the way......

"Meet the main hall!"

Although it is said that "the muscles and bones are broken for a hundred days", these two guys can recover a lot of injuries in just over a month, although they can't go into battle to kill the enemy at the moment, but normal activities are already possible.

About half an hour later, Keiji Maeda and Keira walked in wearing kimonos.

"You're just Ke'er?"

Oda Nobunaga squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Yes! Correct...... Exactly under it! ”

Ke'er Caizang's voice trembled a little.

Don't get me wrong, although Oda Nobunaga's "coercive momentum" can make many powerful generals tremble (for example, the old turtle Tokugawa Ieyasu, when Oda Nobunaga was alive, this guy could only pretend to be a grandson in front of him), but at this time, he did not "bless" this momentum on his body.

Therefore, Ke'er Caizang was not "scared".

The reason why he behaved a little out of shape was completely normal.

Because of him, Ke'er Caizang, a medium-sized samurai whose name is not too loud.

I had the opportunity to meet Oda Nobunaga, the "first person in the world" in this country!

As a samurai, this is naturally an incomparable honor, so how can this not make him excited.

(For specific information, you can imagine that in the era of Chairman Mao, ordinary people saw Chairman Mao)

However, Oda Nobunaga did not blame Kera Caizo's "faux pas", this kind of scene often happened, so not only did he not blame, but on the contrary, he was more satisfied.

"Only lead a hundred cavalry to dare to attack the Maori army's main formation, your courage is really not small......"

Oda Nobunaga said with a smile on his face.

“……”

Compared with Maeda Keiji, Keer Caizo belongs to the type whose brain moves more slowly, and he doesn't understand whether Oda Nobunaga is praising him or belittling him, so he didn't speak for a while, just lowered his head.

"But such a risky strategy is definitely not something that Shibei can accept, Kogoro...... I don't really think of her, but she's a cautious person, and I don't think I'll give you such orders. ”

"Hall Mingjian, this is the idea that the two of us came up with privately,"

Maeda Keiji didn't know if it was because he had seen Oda Nobunaga before, but he had no fear of this "Sixth Heaven Demon King", and he saw that Keer Caizang had "lost" his language ability, so he took the initiative to take over the conversation.

"Violated the order of the contemptible lord, although the lord has decided not to blame the past, but I still ask the hall to punish him!"

"Keijiro," Oda Nobunaga didn't mention punishment, but just stared at Keiji Maeda with a smile that seemed to be not a smile, "We haven't seen each other in years, have we?" ”

"Yes, the Great Hall, it's been almost nine years."

"Keijiro, you haven't changed much, you're still the same as before, you're full of energy."

"Thank you for your compliments, you are almost the same as before, but your style is more outstanding......"

The two of them are like this, you say a word, I talk a word, it doesn't feel like a conversation between a "national leader" and a "village head-level cadre", but like an old friend chatting for many years.

Akechi Mitsuhide was nervous at first, because he knew that Keiji Maeda had always been open-mouthed and didn't slip away. And Oda Nobunaga is a moody and uncertain master. He was really afraid of what kind of chemistry would happen if these two people "bumped" together.

But listening to it, his heart relaxed, these two people are more like reminiscing or "doing home", the tone of speech and the atmosphere around him are relatively harmonious, and nothing that is not "normal" has happened.

"Although you had a bad temper at that time, after all, this was already a matter of the past, and I don't care about it,"

Oda Nobunaga showed a very generous look.

"Write the hall Haihan."

"Do you and your father want to go back to the Maeda family?"

Oda Nobunaga looked at Keiji Maeda, his eyes unblinking, and his expression calmly waited for the answer of the person in front of him.

Akechi Mitsuhide's mood, which had calmed down, was now nervous again. Although he tried his best to remain calm, his facial muscles trembled unnaturally.

Even Ke'er Caizo understood what Oda Nobunaga meant.

Is Oda Nobunaga digging a corner?

Although this seems to be more like a temptation, rather than really asking Keiji Maeda to leave the wise house, no one knows whether these two "new new humans" with similar temperaments and interests will "fake it".

"Thank you for the kindness of the main hall, but the little one is still willing to stay here with His Royal Highness Wise."

"Oh, yes~~~"

It wasn't a sincere invitation in the first place, so the expression on Oda Nobunaga's face didn't change much.

Just asked Akechi Mitsuhide in a slightly confused tone:

"Shibei, Keijiro, this kid, has always been eccentric, stupid, how can you stand him?"

"Uh...... In fact, Keiji was used by Kogoro Dengyong, and he has always served around Kogoro, and there is not much contact between the minister and him. ”

"I'll just say it~~", Oda Nobunaga had an expression of "I know", "Shibei, you have always been serious and harsh, and Keijiro has always been the most unbearable to discipline and admonish, how could you two come together, even if you can come together, you will definitely not be able to get along...... When I agreed with Keijiro to come out of your wise house, I was wondering when you, Shibei, would fall out with him, when would you sweep him away, and when would you ......."

Maybe because he was too excited, Oda Nobunaga became gushing as soon as he spoke, and his words were full of ridicule of Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda Keiji.

The three people below were in a cold sweat when they heard it, and Oda Nobunaga's name as a "fool" was really not for nothing.

Finally, by the time Oda Nobunaga finished speaking, almost half an hour had passed.

"I'm not talking a little too much?"

"No, no, no, the lord (the main hall) is really right......," the three people below replied with obvious duplicity.

"That's it, I've got to go~~"

It wasn't too early, and Oda Nobunaga had spent the morning at Akechi Mitsuhide's mansion, and it was time to say goodbye and leave.

"It's almost noon, and the lord will give him a face, how about having a meal in the humble house?"

"I'd like to, but there's still a lot of work to be done in Nijo Castle, and I'm not as idle as you...... By the way, Ke'er is hiding, follow the Ten Guards to do a good job! ”

As he spoke, he patted Kerr's shoulder.

"Yes! Basilica! The flattered Kerr Caizang's tone choked up, as if she was about to cry.

"And you, Keijiro, don't embarrass the Maeda family!"

"Well, I'll keep in mind the teachings of the Great Hall." ……

Oda Nobunaga was sent away, and his father was about to start a meal.

At this time, an attendant stepped forward and reported:

"The main hall, Lord Kobayashi and his son are waiting in the backyard, hoping to see the main hall."

"Kobayashi?" Akechi Mitsuhide wondered, "At this point, what are they going to do?" ”

"Lord Kobayashi's son-in-law said that he could cure the young master's illness and make the young master wake up."
