Now Ogino Naomasa feels a little regretful, if he had agreed to the proposal of the Takayama clan, although the temporary territory would have been recovered, but if he could make a contribution this time, I am afraid that he would have returned the territory to himself, otherwise, how would he have escaped the shame of the world.

Besides, the Hatano family, now that he is trapped in his city, once he can really defeat the enemy army, then with his character, I am afraid that he will also use the power of the great victory to unify Tanba, only in this way can he be able to block the next wave of the Oda family's offensive, so that he can take all the good things of a country without waste, he must not miss it.

Although it's the season of spring now, but when Ogino Naomasa thinks about this, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat, and the more he thinks about it, the more justified he becomes, he has been hostile to Hatano before, although in recent years, the strength of the family is worse and farther, but because of the threat of the Oda family, so he didn't take action, and now he is in the net, if he doesn't take this opportunity to clean himself up, this is a strange thing.

A few days ago, although Hatano seemed to be under the persuasion of his retainers to open the city and let these wealthy troops enter the city, in fact, it was not, just because he thought that this was a good time for his family to unify Tanba, and when the time came, he only needed to continue to trap these wealthy family heads in the city, and randomly send some troops to receive the territory, so that the soldiers could not be bloodless, and the entire Tanba could be taken down with lightning speed, because the time taken was shorter, so when the Oda army came to attack next time, This Tambo has long been like an iron bucket. Don't look at the stone height is not much. The territory is not large. But as long as it is managed properly, it can keep the Oda army out of the territory.

Of course, if the Gaoshan Clan Sect didn't lead troops to help this time, he probably wouldn't have thought of such a high move, but since the enemy came to attack, the name of the Gaoshan Clan Sect had never been broken in his ears, so he remembered that the Gaoshan Clan Sect could defeat Takeda with only tens of thousands of stone heights. If you win Shinano, if you have hundreds of thousands of stones, can you still be afraid that Oda will not succeed?

Ogino Naozheng was sitting in the main hall, but his heart was becoming more and more regretful, but after all, now that he was here, it was impossible to do anything to the Hatano family with his own strength, and just when he felt embarrassed, he only heard someone outside the door say: "Ogino-sama, your retainers and suke ask to see." ”

Ogino Naomasa was interrupted and was already a little dissatisfied, and the name was very unfamiliar with the name. There are only a few retainers in my family, don't you know each other? But I've never heard of such a person.

He had the intention not to see it, but this matter was really a little strange, so he still planned to meet him. Ogino sat up straight and said, "Tell him to come in." ”

"Subordinates, see the lord." Ono Minori came in and saluted respectfully and said, because this time he is an internal response, and he is a peasant soldier who has just been promoted to a samurai, so if there is a name, the flaw is too big, and although he is not very famous in the Takayama family, he has also been counted as one of the sixteen gods of the Takayama family, although his own ability is not good, but Ono Minori's name is stained with the light of other family adults, I'm afraid the other party should have heard of it, so before the task is completed, this name can't be used for anything.

Seeing that the person who came was the person who saved his life that day, Ogino's honest attitude was better, he was a more traditional samurai, so he still took Ende more seriously, and he didn't look down on the other party because he was just a farmer.

So I only heard him say kindly: "It turned out to be you, if it weren't for you that day, the old man would have been killed on the spot." Speaking of this, Ogino Naomasa thought for a while, and then said: "Now that you are a samurai, if you don't have a name, you will definitely be ridiculed, so I will give you the surname of Ogino and give the name Naotaka." ”

Ono is fortunate to listen, in his heart the other party gave him a name, but also gave himself Ogino's nature, this is unacceptable, in order to complete the task of the lord, he has to be loyal to Ogino Naomasa, if he accepts his surname and name, then how can he still say it clearly? Thinking of this, I heard him hurriedly say: "Lord, you are a blessing to be a subordinate, the surname of the lord, the subordinate is really deserved, deserved." Ono was in a hurry and almost even said the official words that he had been saying recently, but the good words came to his mouth and swallowed them back, and he changed his words.

Ogino Naomasa couldn't help but be angry after listening to it, what an honor it is to be given a name by the lord, this Yosuke even has to refuse, sure enough, he was just a farmer before, and he couldn't even think of these clearly. But since he said what he said, how could he take it back, so he only heard him speak: "Why not, the old man's life was saved by you, and it is also appropriate to give him a name, are you absolutely dissatisfied with this name?" ”

Ono is fortunate to see that he can't push it, and if he pushes it again, I'm afraid it will be exposed, so he can only say: "Thank you for the reward, my subordinates will definitely kill more enemies for the lord in the future and make more contributions to my family." ”

Hearing this, not only was Ogino Naomasa not happy, but his face became gloomy, all because Ono Minori's words had pulled his mind back to his thoughts just now.

If Ono Minori is really a peasant soldier, I'm afraid he won't be able to see anything, but after all, he has been with the clan for many years, and now his identity is even more important in the Takayama family, so how can he not see the worried expression of the other party.

Seeing that Ogino Naomasa still didn't move for a long time, Ono Minoru couldn't help but feel a flaw in his heart, and thought that he had revealed a flaw, so he took advantage of this effort to carefully recall all the things that had happened since he had been mixed into the peasant soldiers, and then thought about his words and deeds that seemed to have no flaws, so what Ogino Naomasa was thinking about should have nothing to do with him.

However, it can be said that it is temporarily safe at the moment, and it should be happy, how can it be so sad. It seems that this matter must not be trivial, if you can find out a thing or two, maybe it will be helpful to take this city.

Thinking of this, I only heard Ono Minori ask softly: "Lord, your subordinates see that the complexion on your face is not good, is there anything embarrassing, if this is the case, it is useful for your subordinates, please open your mouth." ”

Ogino Naomasa found out that Ogino Naotaka hadn't left yet, and he was a little dissatisfied with his opening to ask him about his heart, how could the mind of the Lord be asked by a retainer of yours, but after thinking about it, Naotaka was just a peasant soldier before, and he had only been a samurai for a few days, and he shouldn't know anything about etiquette, so he can't be blamed for it.

And at this moment, Ogino is talking to someone, to relieve the pressure in his heart, and this straight filial piety is completely trustworthy, although he has not been out for a long time, but he has saved his life, if it is really harmful to himself, he only needs to stand by and watch that day, how can he risk his life to save himself.

Thinking of this, Ogino Naomasa first looked around, and then said cautiously, "Naotaka came forward." ”

Ono Minori was overjoyed after hearing this, it must be that the other party wants to tell him some secret things, and at this moment in Yagami Castle, I am afraid it has something to do with the Hatano family, thinking of this, I saw him hurriedly stepped forward and came to Ogino Naomasa a meter away, and then stopped.

When he sat down, he only heard Ogino Naomasa say: "What I say to you now, remember not to spread it, otherwise not only will you die, but even the old man will not survive." ”

"Yes, please rest assured, my subordinates will never go out and talk nonsense." Minoru Ono hurriedly replied.

Although his language was rude, his attitude was very satisfying to Ogino Naomasa, so he only listened to him ask: "The reason why Hatano Hideji was kind enough to let me wait to take refuge in the city is really vicious, once the enemy army retreats, I am afraid that I will take the inheritance of my family and other wealthy families, and now that I am trapped in the city, even if I want to resist, I have no strength, if this is the case, the family will not be able to escape." ”

Ono Shiyuki couldn't help but feel nervous after hearing this, he didn't think of this before, he was just thinking about how to complete the task, but now listening to the other party, there is really this possibility, this is a great opportunity to unify Tanba, with the intelligence of Hatano Hideji, how can he not think of it.

But soon he began to secretly rejoice, Ogino Naomasa said something to himself, which was enough to prove that he was now separated from Hideharu Hatano, and if he could act with him, then a great thing could be done.

But when he thought about it, the lord made it clear that day, he didn't have a good impression of these wealthy families at all, and if he made his own opinions, it would be difficult for the lord to explain it. And maybe this is the other party's deception, and he has important things to do, but he can't be tricked.

Thinking of this, I only heard Ono Minori say: "Lord, my subordinates think that if you want to see if Lord Hatano really has such a mind, it is very easy to do, and the lord does not need to guess here." ”

Ogino Naomasa's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he hurriedly said, "How to test the other party's mind?" ”

"This is simple, the lord only needs to go to see Lord Hatano, after the meeting, he said that he was worried about the safety of the territory, and there is no use for the army of the family here, so he wants to lead the army back to the territory, if the other party agrees, then it can be said that there is no plan to deal with the family, if you don't agree, then it may be the same as the lord said, to do something to the family."

Ogino Naomasa couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being confused, he had been melancholy in this samurai mansion for a few days, only guessing, but not acting, and he was not even as good as this new retainer, which was too pedantic.

"Okay, that's right, you can follow me to the castle tower now, and I'm going to meet Hatano-sama." After speaking, he didn't wait for Ono to get up, and walked out. (To be continued.) )
