"It's so early!" Standing by the pond in the garden again, I looked up at the dim sky, and although the atmosphere was so oppressive, only sporadic snowflakes fell. It is very comfortable to touch on the face.

The "early" in my mouth is to describe this snow, and the temperature began to drop sharply after entering October, so that this first snow finally did not drag on until November. Like the weather at the moment, the recent atmosphere has been in this state of neither yin nor yang, maybe it will be better until the Chinese New Year!

I picked up a small pebble from the ground and gently threw it towards the surface of the pond. "Smack! "Because the weight was too light......, the stones were not enough to break through the ice floe that had just formed at once, and rolled a long distance on the ice mixed with water stains, and then stopped, and slowly sank.

I don't know why my mood at the moment is calm and slightly sad, and the scene in front of me is so consistent, suddenly a kind of poetic desire arises, I opened a few mouths but didn't say anything. "The foundation is too bad!" I can't help but feel a little discouraged when I have so little insight into poetry.

"Father!" While I was thinking about whether to go back to the house and hold back an essay like "Moonlight on the River", Senkomaru had already come over and stood behind me.

"Oh, what's the matter?" I looked back and saw that his face was a little unhappy, so I asked casually.

Xian Limaru because the Yuan service is imminent.,Recently, I occasionally go to visit guests by myself.,There's always something bad at the beginning.,But this kind of thing can't be completely avoided.。 Seeing that he was not in a good mood, I thought that something unpleasant had happened again.

"I just received a letter from Matabei, saying that Tojiro and they have set off to return to the Tohoku!" Xian Limaru took out the letter from his bosom and handed it over, and then said, "Because I have to rush back for the New Year, I don't have time to come and say goodbye to you in person." They are very sorry for this and ask for your understanding! ”

"Oh!" I pulled out the letter and glanced at it a few times, and sure enough, it was a kind word. "It doesn't matter, I'll see you again if there's fate!" I put the letter away and gave it back to him. "Mountains and rivers always meet, and I have a hunch that something will happen in the future. Besides, the dawn of the great cause of the lord's domination of the world has appeared, and such a thing is also very fast. Moreover, you have a friendship with the lord and your son-in-law, and seeing that the Yuan service is imminent, the post of the general of the expedition to the Northeast may fall on your head! ”

"Is that really the case? To be honest, I don't have that confidence! He lifted his head slightly down, as if trying to find some support from me. Although Tojiro and I are also new friends, I can see that he is not a simple character, and no matter how he talks, he has new and unique features. In my heart, I don't believe in his identity as a wild samurai, but it doesn't really matter. Like you, whether he's a big name or something, a few simple words will convince him and tremble. I think that only you can make the Star Family prosperous, but I ......"

"The ruler is short and the inch is long, there is nothing remarkable!" I frowned secretly, but I didn't expect that when I hit Date Masamune's confidence that day, it also caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on Senkomaru. "Don't take his disobedience to your words to heart, that's nothing. Since I came out in the third year of Yonglu, there have been many people who have disobeyed me. In the end, how about it, didn't you call me all over? Now you haven't worked hard yet, and you don't have enough resources at your disposal. Don't be afraid, you can easily kill them in the future! ”

"But compared to many people, I feel that I don't have the ability to ......" Xian Limaru's face was still a little confused, just like the seniors I used to see who were about to face the college entrance examination.

"Material? It's not just a matter of one plus one equaling two! I smiled and waved at him, and then led the way to the front yard. Regardless of the martial arts, the teacher, Lord Takenaka, and even any important minister may surpass me by a lot, but aren't they all loyal to the Star Family now! If that Tojiro refuses to say the word 'suit' to you just because of the talent you said in your mouth, then what am I? ”

"This ......" Senkomaru was puzzled by the language of my "truth", and for a moment he wavered about the problem of positioning.

"Actually, you and Ben don't need to know anything, or know something, because it doesn't really matter!" By this time we had stepped out of the moon gate in the garden and walked through a verandah towards the study and office. "You can think about it: if you want to fight, you must not only be brave but also know strategy; To engage in internal affairs, you have to study water conservancy, farming, architecture, and law; In diplomacy, you have to master etiquette; If you want to be able to quote scriptures and read the past and the present, you should talk about it, how can there be such a person in the world! ”

"So what should it be?" Hearing that he didn't have to learn so many things, Senkamaru suddenly became much more interested, and he heard a trick of cheating from his students.

"You just need to know what other people think!" As soon as I spoke, Xian Limaru was stunned, and it seemed that he was thinking deeply again. "It may seem difficult, but it's easy to break it down into two parts!" I broke it open and crumpled it and explained to him, "First, what he needs. It's actually not hard to guess, everyone has their own desires and needs, you just have to look closely and you will find out, and then just pay attention to see if you can provide it to him. Second, what is his temperament and principles. Actively encourage what is beneficial to you, and pay careful attention to what is unfavorable, and do not easily touch its bottom line. Drive people with intention, and there is no disadvantage! ”

"I see!" Senkomaru nodded in realization. "No wonder my father is comfortable in front of the lord, so that's the case! But......" he frowned again. "But this time, my father was defeated in Kyushu, and the lord ignored my father for two months, did your trick work?"

"Not necessarily!" I shook my head, the corners of my mouth twitching unconsciously. "I was very worried, but these days I have a lot of rare free time, and I can think about a lot of things, a lot of things. Now my heart is getting more and more solid, and I don't think there will be the slightest problem with this matter! ”

"Really! What does this say? Fairy Carp Maru asked with joy and worry.

"If you don't believe it, just watch!" I glanced at him and said with confidence.

At this time, we had already arrived at the study, and Sakurai had just sat down when Sakurai came over to talk about it.

"My lord, Lord Yamauchi has come to visit you!" He stood in the doorway and said.

"Invite him here!" As I spoke, I put away the documents that had been spread out again with Senkomaru.

"Your Highness the Stars, it's been a long time!" Yamauchi walked in from the outside with a spring breeze on his face, carrying a large box in his hand.

"I won't say anything about myself in the past, if you can come to see me at this time, I will always think of your goodness!" After saying that, I turned to Senkomaru again. "I haven't seen Uncle Yamauchi yet!"

"Don't dare, this really doesn't dare!" Before Senkamaru could speak, Yamauchi Kazutomi was busy stopping him. "Son Xian Limaru is the lord's beloved son-in-law, I don't dare to be so arrogant no matter how interesting I am!"

"Whatever you want!" I laughed it off and didn't force it. He is still a good person, but in recent years, he has been limited to his identity and private past, and I can understand this. "What is this?" I patted the box he had brought.

"A little nostalgic local product, I'm afraid you've forgotten it!" He reached out and opened the lid, and it was shiny. "Our Owari chestnuts, the production method is still you invented back then!"

"That's a good thing!" I really feel a little nostalgic, probably because I have reached the age of nostalgia, I reached out and took one and opened it in my mouth, it was really pure and sweet. "Come and see I brought something with me, it's a good friend. But if there's anything you say, it won't affect our relationship! ”

"I have a 'ugly performance' for others, but we don't have to go through this formality!" Although he knew that there could be no outsiders here, he instinctively glanced around. "Actually, something happened about you recently, and the young master ordered me to say something first!"

Although I knew that he must have some kind of mission, I still flickered in my heart when I heard this. "I'm still annoying the young master and you are worried, I am grateful!" I said it seemingly lightly.

"What, don't you care?" He was a little surprised.

"The young master specially ordered you to come, it is not necessarily a bad thing!" I lowered my head and continued to pluck the chestnuts in my hand.

"Shengming has no fault with your Royal Highness Yuzhou, I really obey you!" He snapped open a hard shell, and said to me with a bit of mystery: "The lord has already set the final steps of the world's martial arts, and the first person to be decided is your Royal Highness Yuzhou, who is to manage the Xihai exploration in the southwest, but I am afraid that a written document has been formed at this time!" ”

"This is really the lord's grace, shining on my stars!" With the due gesture in my mouth, I glanced sideways at Senkomaru.

This should be a decision that Oda Nobunaga just made, otherwise I can't be unaware of such a big thing, and the so-called words that have been put to paper are not true, after all, the ninjas I raised are not for nothing. Oda Nobutada immediately sent an envoy to me, and its purpose is self-evident. It is very difficult to say whether this will be the last "shuffle" of the Oda family, but many people are going to step up their activities.

"Of course, I can't help but be grateful for the thoughtfulness of the faithful young master!" I can't let my old friend run away in vain, and I must not miss the meaning of the expression.

"If you don't say this, I understand, but we can be regarded as born and died together!" Kazutoyo Yamauchi seemed to bring a lot of news this time, so much so that I always felt that his words were not enough.

"If there's anything else, just say it all at once!" He didn't say anything, so I had to ask myself.

"Then it's naturally a matter of Senkamaru Childe!" Kazutoyo Yamauchi looked at my son on the side. "Don't forget, he's the son-in-law of the lord!"
