The reason why he can get in touch with the Takeda family is because he has the title of the head of the Hosokawa Kyozhao family, and the previous head of the family, Hosokawa Harumoto and General Yoshiki are on the same front, Takeda Shingen has always supported the shogunate's righteousness as the slogan, and for this reason, he also received the 12th generation general Ashikaga Yoshiharu's biased "Qing" word; Second, it's also because of the relationship between the Mochizuki family, the Mochizuki family and the Takeda family are in-laws, and now Mochizuki Snow is whispering to Takeda Shingen's side room, Mrs. Yatsu.

"My lord! All the adults in the assessment room have arrived. "At the door, a small surname not much older than Hosokawa Senimaru knelt there and saluted Takeda Shingen.

"Hmm." Takeda Shingen responded, and then said to Hosokawa Senimaru: "Lord Yagatata, I'll be absent for a while and deal with some trivial matters at home." ”

"Lord Xinxuan is polite, your family rules the two countries, and the affairs must not be a trivial matter, so I can just walk around here." Hosokawa Clever Maru probably knows what's going on, and this year happens to be the Takeda family's large-scale invasion of Kita-Shinano, and they will go head-to-head with Echigo's dragon Ueki Kenshin for the first time, which is known in history as the "First Kawanakajima Battle".

"Kibei! You just take the house-sama around, and you must not be lazy! Do you understand? Takeda Shingen arranged for the little surname at the door to Hosokawa Sentomaru as a guide, and left in a hurry.

"Your name is Kibei? The third child of the Sanada family? Hosokawa Senomaru walked into the courtyard and began to inquire about Kibei's origins.

"Exactly, but I've just been passed on to the Muto family, and now I'm Muto Kibei." Kibei replied respectfully, wondering why Hosokawa Clever Maru knew about him as a nobody, knowing that the two older brothers above him were both praised talents, and he had become the tail of the crane in other people's mouths.

"Kibei, do you want to get ahead? Become a brighter star than your two older brothers? This Sanada family is the least valued, not only does he have no inheritance rights, but his bold ideas are often called nonsense, and he is often reprimanded by Takeda Shingen.

"Of course I want to, oh, I'm sorry Yagatata-sama, I was so excited." Kibei's loud voice startled Hosokawa Senomaru.

"It doesn't matter, if you really want to get ahead, why don't you call me lord in the future, follow me to travel the world, see more, and broaden your horizons." Hosokawa Senomaru threw out an olive branch, and this Kibei's solicitation can be said to be the most difficult one at the moment, but he still wants to try.

"No, this title can't be called casually, if the lord knows, then I won't be miserable, no, I will never agree." I saw Kibei shaking his head and saying that although he was young, he also knew that this "lord" could not be changed at will.

Hosokawa Senomaru saw that he refused, how could he give up easily, he knew that Kibei's loyalty was still in a hazy state, and it was the best time to dig the foot of the wall, so he hurriedly said: "Otherwise, let's make a bet, and if you lose, you will promise the other party one thing, okay?" Don't you dare? Coward. ”

"Who! Whoever is a coward, come and come, don't think that I dare not win you because of your noble status, I won't release water! Kibei was naturally dissatisfied with this agitation and shouted.

"Okay, then let's have a competition, um~~" Hosokawa Senmaru stood in the courtyard and looked around, then pointed to the two trees in the courtyard and said, "Let's try to climb the trees." ”

"Huh? Climb trees? Xibei looked at the crooked neck tree in the courtyard with a puzzled face, and then looked at the pampered noble son in front of him, feeling as if something was wrong. His Sanada family has been training since he was a baby, and he doesn't dare to say that he has the ability to climb mountains and mountains, just this little skill of climbing trees and fishing, how can this Yagata master win against himself.

"What? Scared? If you are afraid, you will obediently kowtow to recognize the lord! As soon as Hosokawa Senchomaru saw that Kibei was hesitating, he knew that he was suspicious, so he quickly stirred up again, lest he figure it out.

"Humph! It's better than that, don't admit it if you lose! After saying that, he stood in front of a big tree, after all, he was still a child, and he didn't think about anything more.

"Okay, I'm here too, I'm ready, three, two, one!" At the sound of an order, Kibei rubbed three or two times, and then climbed to the treetops, looking at Hosokawa Senkaimaru with a smug face.

"Haha! I won! Come down and call the lord! Hosokawa Senimaru's words made Kibei almost fall from the tree.

"For? Why? Isn't it supposed that whoever climbs high wins? Kibei immediately came down from the tree and lodged a serious protest.

Hosokawa was confident, and said unhurriedly: "Let me ask you, is this tree growing branches and leaves first?" Or do you grow roots first? ”

"Of course, it's common sense that roots grow first." As soon as Kibei finished speaking, he felt as if he had entered a pit.

"Behold, the root of the matter begins, and the tree has no roots, and if the branches and leaves come first, and the roots of the tree come last, will it not put the cart before the horse? So I won. Hosokawa Smart Pill was still not blushing, and his heart was not beating, and he said it with a straight face.

"But this is climbing a tree, and it's not thicker than anywhere." Kibei pinched his waist with both hands and said unconvinced.

"If you want to build a grand cause, you can't just win by strength, but also outwitted, and you must talk more about strategy in the future!" Hosokawa Senomaru began to try to convince Kibei, but Kibei didn't agree with Hosokawa Senomaru no matter what he said, and his head shook like a rattle: "No, no, these should be made clear in advance." ”

"Alright then, let's do it again, I'm sure I'm going to convince you." Hosokawa had no choice but to think of another trick.

"That's not allowed to be a trick." Kibei is not such a foolish lord either.

"This time it's better than throwing a handkerchief, whoever throws it far wins." Hosokawa Sentomaru thought of another pit.

"Okay, let's do it." After saying that, Kibei found a pebble and wrapped it with a handkerchief, and smiled "hehe" with a cheap smile that saw through you

Hosokawa Senimaru looked at Kibei, who was less than seven years old, in surprise, and secretly complained in his heart, [I rubbed it, he actually saw through it, and he deserved to be one of the few ghost geniuses in the future, Sanada Masayuki, who has the nickname of "thaumaturgist". 】

"Alright then, if you want to fight, I'll fight!" Hosokawa Senchimaru also wrapped a pebble in Kibei's incredible eyes, which was nearly twice as big as his own.

With a whoosh, the stone bag in Kibei's hand passed through a gorgeous parabola and smashed into the distance.

15 meters! It's far away!
