Chapter 407: Asai Manfuku Pill returns
In Kitanoso Castle in Echizen Province, in the living room of the Shibata Katsuya, a husband and wife are immersed in their own world.
The man sat there with a beard and a sad face, and it was Shibata Katsuya. Now Hosokawa Nobumoto quickly took the entire territory south of Kanesaki with the momentum of not being able to hide his ears, which made him a little at a loss.
"Hey... It's really annoying! Shibata Katsuya hesitated, it was impossible for him to surrender to the Hosokawa family, but the strength of the family was more than two streets behind by the Hosokawa family, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and he was not good at thinking about this kind of thing.
"Ahh La-la... Oh..."In inverse proportion to him, the lady Oda on the other side had a relaxed face, humming a small tune and making small clothes for Kihachiro.
"Why do you keep making clothes for him? At what age is this? Shibata Katsuya looked at Oda City a little speechlessly, thinking that this is not your own, why are you so concerned, the clothes woven are enough for Kihachiro to wear until adulthood.
"This one... How about wearing it when Kihachiro Moto's ceremony? Is it good-looking? Kihachiro put on a tall and handsome hat. Hee-hee..."Oda City happily lifted his clothes, comparing them to each other, and he smiled when he was satisfied.
"I really don't understand you..."Shibata Katsuya looked at the beautiful city of Oda, and felt that he should work harder, maybe he could give birth to a boy and two girls, he was about to be fifty-five years old, but there was still hope.
"Hehe... Looking at your color, do you think about anything bad again? Hum! Oda City pretended to be angry and said, since having Kihachiro, his personality has also been a lot more cheerful.
"Uh... It's not like that... Belch... I'm thinking about how to get along with the Hosokawa family in the future. Shibata Katsuie's face turned red, he was eaten to death by Oda City, and quickly found a way to change the topic.
"What's so hard about that? He is the brother-in-law of the concubine, and the two families are also considered in-laws, and Liulang is not the kind of person who does not recognize the six relatives, the two families sit down and have a good talk, and everything is solved? Oda disagreed, and she and her sister still exchanged letters with each other, and their relationship has always been very close.
"But..."Shibata Katsuya was still a little hesitant, mainly because he didn't want to be subservient.
"Lord, there are people outside who ask to see Madame, claiming to be Wanfumaru." Suddenly, a message from the chamberlain came from outside the door.
"Oops..."Oda quickly put his index finger in his mouth, what did he just hear? Wanfumaru? He's not dead yet?
"Madame, how's it going? Isn't it bad? Shibata Katsuya hurriedly took her Qianqianyu hand and looked at the index finger that had been punctured by the needle distressedly.
"The concubine is fine, the concubine is fine. What did you just say? Someone outside who calls himself Wanfukumaru? There was a trace of murderous aura between Oda City's eyebrows.
"It's... It's..."The chamberlain nodded in fright, how did the usually gentle and kind lady suddenly become a dominatrix.
"Humph! What a guts! Bring him in! The concubine wants to see it! Who the hell dares to pretend to be my son! It turned out that she thought it was someone pretending to be the dead Manfukumaru.
"Yes!" The chamberlain was shocked into a cold sweat and hurried down.
In a few moments, a samurai and a twelve-year-old boy were brought in.
"Winter!" Oda recognized the samurai at a glance: Kiyoto Akao, who was Kiyotsuna's son-in-law. At the beginning, Kotani Castle was broken, and the father and son of Akawei were captured alive, and both of them asked for seppuku to be the master. Oda Nobunaga was grateful for the loyalty of the Akao family, and only allowed Akao Kiyotsuna, sparing Hayoshi's death.
"It's... This... Child... Lift your head up... Raise your head and let the concubine take a look..."Oda walked over tremblingly, slowly helping the child up, Akao Kiyoto should not lie to himself.
"Mother...", what caught my eye was the Manfuku Pill who had already cried into tears.
"Manfukumaru! It's really you! It's really you! The concubine is not dreaming! Oh, my God! Buddha bless, Buddha bless! Oda City was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and thanked God vigorously.
"Mother, I should thank my lord for saving me." Manfukumaru pouted, protesting with some dissatisfaction, these people who have followed Hosokawa Nobumoto all the year round have all disrespected ghosts and gods one by one.
"My lord?" Oda City asked with some surprise, when did the young master of the Asai family, the daimyo of the northern country, have a lord?
"It's Hosokawa-sama!" Seeing that the young Manfukumaru didn't know how to express it, Akao Kiyoto on the side spoke it out for him, and Qingdong was loyal to Asai Manfukumaru.
"It's Rokuro! How did he do it? "Oda City didn't expect it to be Hosokawa Nobumoto at all, you must know that her brother Nobunaga had a death order at that time, and hiding is a felony of rebellion!
"Yagata-sama is benevolent, and he can't bear to be the heir of my Asai family, so..." Akao Kiyoto didn't know what happened, he had asked Manfukumaru, and he only knew that he was rescued by Hosokawa Nobumoto in a wooden house, and the people in the wooden house were not sure whether they were robbers or guards. Anyway, he survived, and Hosokawa Nobumoto was also very good to him, and that was enough.
"I see... I see... Come, let the mother see... Hey, they've all grown so tall..."Oda City looked at Manfukumaru carefully, wanting to make up for all the things he had lost over the years.
"Shibata Hall! Yagata-sama still has something to say, so let's bring it over. "Akao Qingdong bowed to Shibata Katsuya again.
"What's the matter?" Shibata Katsuiei frowned, this Hosokawa Nobumoto's emotional card is really good, first send the children back to Oda City, and then come to talk about things, it must be difficult to accept.
"Yes, Yagata-sama said that he sent Manfukumaru to me, I just hope that my sister can reunite with her family, and please don't misunderstand. In addition, as for the relationship between the two families, whether you maintain the status quo or are willing to merge, it is up to you! The Hosokawa family only wanted not to be an enemy, nothing more. Akao Kiyoto conveyed it word by word, without any tampering or exaggeration.
"Huh?" Shibata Katsuie was stunned, he didn't expect Hosokawa Nobumoto to say this, this was completely a posture from the weak side, as if he was the overlord who unified Gyeonggi.
"Your Highness! You see, the concubine said that Liulang is not the kind of person who doesn't recognize his six relatives, right? Look at the concubine..."
"Okay, I'm in charge of this!" Shibata Katsuie interrupted Oda slightly rudely, he knew what she was going to say, but this could not be solved with a single sentence, and the interests of the retainers also needed to be taken into account.
"Humph! Okay, I don't want to take care of your stinky men's concubines, let's go, let's go and tell my mother about your experience in the past few years. "Oda City pulled Manfukumaru and left, she still gave Shibata Katsuya enough face in front of outsiders, but in the dead of night... But it's hard to say.
