84. Go up the mountain

"The scenery here is really good!" As he spoke, Keiji Maeda took out his vermilion wine gourd and took a sip of it.

"Yes! Oh, yes! It really doesn't feel like it's in the city! Ke'er Caizang echoed, teasing with a freshly caught grasshopper in his hand.

"Don't forget what you're here for!" I tried to remind me as calmly as possible. Because of the last resort, I also came to this mountain, and in order to be prepared, I urgently recruited the fierce generals of Maeda Keiji, Kor Caizo, and Yamanaka Kanosuke. Wasuka Masakatsu was a land snake and soon found a suitable logging site. There are many ancient trees in the sky, and even better is that it is close to the Kiso River, and you can reach the Sumamata River in just over an hour.

"Brother Zhongbingwei, I'm afraid no one can come up with such a clever plan except you!" Kinoshita Toyoshiro walked up to me and said. Although it is a nice compliment, there is a hint of sourness in it.

"I'm here to fulfill you! If it weren't for your single-mindedness for this meritorious service, or for your haste to apply for this mission, I wouldn't have come here to suffer this sin! "I don't care. I don't want to take the credit for this time, anyway, not only the Maeda Toshiya knows that I came up with this idea, but Oda Nobunaga will definitely know it soon, and that's enough! If you stretch your head too much and then invite other similar errands in the future, then it will be worth the loss!

"Really! You ......" Kinoshita Toyoshiro was so excited that he couldn't speak, and a layer of tears welled up in his eyes.

"Why are the two of them here too?" I didn't like to see a big man crying at me, so I hurriedly pointed to Asano Nagamasa and Kinoshita Koichiro, who were standing behind him, and asked.

"What? Is there anything wrong? Kinoshita Tojiro couldn't help but feel a little nervous when I asked that.

"It's ...... Nothing! "I was thinking about how to phrase it." Koichiro's strength is not that he is stubborn and stubborn; Changzheng...... It seems that his martial arts have not been practiced yet, right? ”

"That being said, but also the score is who said!" Asano Nagamasa, who had just turned 16, said unconvinced: "It's like you Lord Zhuxing, your martial arts are not as good as mine!" Isn't it now a pillar of the Oda family? ”

"Changzheng! Don't be rude! Kinoshita Toyoshiro scolded him loudly and then turned back to me with a guilty face: "This kid is too unruly, please forgive me!" But this time...... It was also my father-in-law and Ning Ning who repeatedly told me that they hoped to take him out to practice. I'm thinking about it this time too...... I can't just bother you! Speaking of which, his eyes seemed to inadvertently sweep over the body of Kanosuke and the others.

And so it was! It seems that his heart knot is really heavy. My mind was spinning fast: "Monkey" is about to soar! Although his status is still much higher than his, it is still a very troublesome thing to make him resentful of himself. Although his personality makes it difficult for him to be a friend like Maeda Toshiie, there are still people in the Oda family who we all dislike such as Shibata Katsuie and Sasa Narumasa, but this matter cannot be said to the face. It took a moment for me to have an idea. "Changzheng! You can't say that what you say is unreasonable, but there are some things you haven't thought through! You know? ”

"What's the matter?! Tell me about it! "For what I said just now, Asano Nagamasa is still angry.

"For example, me, and your brother-in-law, our martial arts are really not very good! But we have our location and our way out. You're different! I said with a smile.

"How are you guys? What about me? "He was puzzled by what I was saying.

"Then let me ask you first, do you want to be your brother-in-law's retainer? Or do you want to inherit the Asano family's position? "I asked a question that no one had thought of.

"Hmm...... "This question seems to really stump him." I think I'd better inherit my father's position, that would be a little light! My brother-in-law is just a little bit of a head now! After thinking about it for a while, he came up with an answer, but I saw that Kinoshita Tojiro's face was not good-looking.

"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! You are absolutely wrong! "I shook my head like a wave." If you think so, you couldn't be more wrong! You'll be delaying yourself for the rest of your life! ”

"Why?!" Asano Nagamasa asked with a question mark on his head. The Kinoshita brothers on one side seemed to be very concerned about this issue, and a few of them also came over there.

"Listen! I'll tell you about it...... "Seeing that their attention was all focused, I began my argument. "Your father, Lord Asano Nagakatsu, was an archer all his life, and he didn't become the current ashitaru until he was in his fifties. Maeda Toshiya-sama is a general in his thirties, but how long has his family served the Oda family? Tell you! It's four generations! Why is that? What about Shibata and Niwa? Their ancestors were already wealthy families of Owari in the time of the Spokakatsune! Do you want to go from a low-level retainer to a territory and a high-ranking retainer? It's hard to say whether it will work in the next life! It's just that Hattori Koheita and Mori Shinsuke, who won Imagawa Yoshimoto, are just a light head now, what do you want? Seeing that he opened his mouth, I hurriedly said, "You want to ask me, is it?" Why did I become a general after two years of service, just at the age of eighteen? Tell you...... Because I've never been a samurai! If I change places and lords, I will never be able to become a samurai, let alone a general! Lord Nobunaga was an eclectic man, he didn't care about my origins, and he saw that I was different from those hereditary samurai! Your brother-in-law and I are the same person, since he hit him into the Oda family, Shibata's gang has not stopped squeezing him, he is not still good now, once he gets the opportunity to be promoted, he will not be slower than me! It's us, let's talk about you. If you have been a direct retainer of the lord, I dare say that you will be a general at most when you are old! And what if you act as your brother-in-law's strength? I don't dare to say, 10 years later, your brother-in-law will also be a city lord with tens of thousands of stones, and at that time, you will get more than 1,000 stones! I also told you that if you want to decide, you should make a decision as soon as possible, and the weight will be light if you are late! If you don't believe it, I will hide it, the amount I gave him is already higher than your father's! My words made Asano Nagamasa fall into deep thought, and Kinoshita Toyoshiro's eyes flashed with excitement "Good! Not only do you want him to see a bright future, but also want him to understand that there are enemies at home and which friends to rely on! "I'm secretly smug.

"Lord Stars, Lord Kinoshita!" At this time, Masakatsu Wasuka came over. "Scouted, no problem! Everyone is here, ready to work! ”

"Hmm!" I stood up. "Make the sentry larger! We're going to be here for four or five days, but nothing can go wrong! ”
