However, although he had such thoughts, he still held back, the other side was the lord, how could he allow himself to go back on his word, so he could only continue to comfort himself, fifteen people are already a lot, and these are all talents that the clan is optimistic about, one top ten is no problem, absolutely no problem. And coupled with the samurai who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light in this battle, although there is still a big gap between the retainers under his command and the Takayama family, it is definitely the upper class in the world.

After Sakuma Nobumori came out satisfied, the clan that had already arrived at the door would be a little too much to say if he didn't go in, so after the announcement, he walked in quickly, but this time he couldn't say anything nutritious when he met Nobunaga, because he wanted to be rewarded after helping his father-in-law win Tamba Dan? Don't be funny, this is what I want to go, and it wasn't what Nobunaga asked, so don't think about the reward or anything, you won't get any benefits, and the clan can't be interested at all, so after just a few words of nobunaga chatting without nutrition, it was blasted out.

After simply saying goodbye to his father-in-law, the clan began to march like Hida.

After returning to the city, the clan that didn't have time to rest was let out by several wives of Sakura, for no other reason, the messenger sent by the Otomo family has been waiting for a long time, and a messenger is not a big deal, but this messenger is not simple, he brought news of Shinkatsu.

This kid will really make trouble for Lao Tzu, I didn't expect to run so far, and I ran to the territory of Otomo's family, although the clan thought so in his heart, but his heart was put down, Otomo's family was far away on Kyushu Island, and although he had no connection with the main family and the Oda family. But there is no tendency to be evil. Shinkatsu should still be able to guarantee safety there.

The Otomo family sent a middle-aged samurai in his forties. It doesn't seem to be as powerful as a traditional samurai, but a little more wise, and the clan is very happy to see that the envoy is such a person, and the clan prefers to talk to people who understand it than the martial arts.

"Kakukuma Ishimune, a retainer of the Shimotomo family, met with Hida Mamoru and came here on the orders of my lord to discuss the marriage between Nobukatsu and the Tachibana family with Takayama-sama, and this is a letter from my lord of my family. Adults are also invited to take a look. Kakuma Ishizong said as he took out a letter from his bosom over and over again.

Hearing the news, the face of the clan immediately sank, the marriage between Shinkatsu and Yuzi is absolutely impossible, and it cannot be changed, and now the Otomo family is intervening, do you really think that because you are far away from Kyushu, you can't move him? But now the other party is just talking to himself, and it is estimated that this matter has not really been decided, as long as he refuses. It doesn't make sense to measure that the big friend family.

The current clan definitely has such confidence, not only does it own Hida. Shinano two countries hundreds of thousands of stone land, under the command of the retainers who can fight well Ashigaru has exceeded 10,000 people, in addition, a few months ago when the Oda family New Year's assessment, this faction is no longer the same loose connection as before, as long as they have needs, Takenaka, Ake, two fathers-in-law, and even their own eldest brother and other Oda family several powerful factions will definitely support, which makes the clan now very confident, you are far away from Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will take a boat, who is afraid of whom.

But after the clan saw the letter, he was immediately dumbfounded, this was not the idea of the Otomo family, but his son who was not angry, he actually fell in love with the tigress of the Tachibana family, Tachibana Chiyo, this girl is one of the few female generals in the Warring States of Japan, the clan still has some understanding of it, Tachibana Chiyo's personality is very tough, how can such a woman be the daughter-in-law of the Takayama family, not to mention the matter of Tamako, so it is unacceptable no matter what.

So when the clan clan hurriedly read the letter, he said with a stiff face: "Go back and tell Otomo Zonglin, my clan will never agree to this matter, now you only have two ways to go, the first is to let Takayama Nobukatsu get back for me, and second, you kill him, let me kill the Otomo family, there is no other choice, let Otomo Zonglin watch it." After saying that, the clan turned around and was about to leave.

However, Kakukuma Ishizong is not an ordinary person, he is a resourceful person who is called Otomo Shuangbi with Tachibana Michiyuki, and in the days of waiting for the clan to come back, he did not wait, but has been doing his homework, and under this careful observation, he not only knows that Shinkatsu already has a fiancée of Tamako, but also knows how several ladies in the clan family get along, so for him, this matter is still relatively easy to solve.

"Lord Hidamori, please stay, for this matter, I think there is a third way to go, I wonder if the adults can give me some time to let me speak out." Although Kakuma Ishizong had never seen the clan, he had carefully studied some of the deeds of the clan, so he decided that the Takayama clan would definitely stay and listen to him.

Sure enough, just as he thought, the clan sect that had already stood up, after he finished speaking, sat down again, and the anger on his face dissipated a lot, only to hear him ask: "I will give you this opportunity, but whether you can grasp it depends on your eloquence, I hope you will not let me down, now you can say." ”

"As far as I know, the ladies of Takayama should not have separated the main room and the side room, so I don't know if the rumors I heard below are true or false." After seeing that the clan sect was not ready to answer, Kakuma Ishizong had to smile awkwardly, and then continued: "Since such a rumor has spread to Kyushu, it is estimated that it should be true, so I will imagine that Takayama-sama can allow Shinkatsu to act in the same way, and at the same time win Chiyo, win Miss Akechi Tamako, so that this matter can be resolved, so that the family and the Takayama family will always be married, and the lord of my family has a word first, once Takayama-sama agrees, Then the Otomo family will take the Takayama family as the head of the horse. ”

Let's not talk about such a proposal, at least let the clan see the sincerity of the Otomo family, but although this is a way, and there is no loss for the clan, but for the Otomo family, what about the Tachibana family, the clan knows that Tachibana Daoxue is such a girl, in order to save the family name in history, I had to let Tachibana Somao enter the family, and finally solved this embarrassing reality, and let Takayama Nobukatsu also do the same, and enter the Tachibana family? What are you kidding, Lao Tzu's current rule is bigger than his master, Otomo Zonglin, and his ashigaru is far superior to the Otomo family in terms of number and combat power, if Xinsheng has nothing to do, it is not impossible for the clan to pinch his nose and admit it, but the problem is that Shinsheng's talent is definitely what he expects, if nothing else, the position of the head of the Takayama family will also be his in the future, such a son, the clan will never allow him to enter a small big name family.

Thinking of this, I only heard the clan Zongpi say with a smile: "I don't have any problems with this proposal, but does Tachibana Michiyuki have any ideas?" As far as I know, Tachibana Michiyuki only has such a daughter, and if she marries outside, she may not be what she wants. ”

"This..."This time the Kakuma Ishizong is really out of words, yes, he just thinks about the problem from the perspective of the Otomo family, and as for the Tachibana family, he really hasn't thought about it, but in troubled times, even if he hasn't seen such a thing, he's heard a lot, so he soon had a new idea.

I only heard him speak: "Takayama-sama, although I have not discussed it with the lord and Tachibana-sama, there is a way to solve this matter, and presumably the lord and Tachibana-sama will not refuse." The next idea is that if Takayama-sama agrees, the wedding will take place as usual, and Miss Chiyo can also come to Hida with Shinkatsu, but once Miss Chiyo gives birth, then I hope that Takayama-sama will allow her son to inherit the Tachibana family business when he becomes an adult. ”

I have to say that Kakukuma Ishizong's method is really desperate, and the clan really has no reason to refuse, so he finally said: "Okay, let's do it, tell Shinkatsu, and let him rush back immediately with Chiyo to complete the marriage." But after the clan sect finished speaking, he thought about it again and said: "Forget it, your speed is too slow, it's better for you to repair a book, and I'll send someone to send it." ”

"Then there's Lord Lao Gaoshan." Kakukuma Ishizong didn't refuse, after all, for the Otomo family, it was already the best result, but it was a bitter Miss Chiyo, and I don't know if Takayama-sama would be treated like a hostage.

The speed of Kakukuma's letter writing is really not slow, and after briefly writing down the things agreed with the clan today, he made friends with the clan, and the clan did not delay and immediately sent the ninjas under his command to Kyushu without mentioning it.

Knowing her son's whereabouts, the atmosphere at home suddenly became harmonious, especially Mrs. Sakura, who had not seen her smile for several months after learning the news of her son. The service to the clan is not perfunctory, but very hard to cooperate with the clan, which makes the clan feel extremely comfortable.

For three days in a row, the clan had no intention of leaving the inner room, and of course the retainers also understood very well, after all, the lord had just experienced a few months of war, and his lord was not a good surname, so no one did not disturb the rest of the clan at this time.

But after three days, the retainers can't help but come, and if they don't come, it will be too unaware of being a retainer to outsiders, and not only them, but even the four people who have been divided into territories, Mesuka, Maeda, Watanabe, and Yamauchi also came together, in order to understand the next strategy of the lord, and to make some preparations in advance.

"Subordinates, etc., see the lord." As soon as the clan leader appeared in the assessment room, he saw the retainers saluting one after another.

"Get up." As he spoke, the clan also sat down. (To be continued.) )
