"I hope the lord doesn't think too highly of me!" I laughed and felt a lot lighter, but I still had to show a certain amount of modesty. "The Lord is a genius, and his courage is much greater than mine. If you suddenly have some wonderful ideas and give me a task such as pacifying Shikoku and Kyushu within half a year, it would be better to kill me directly! ”

"Others may not be able to do it, but in the case of Your Highness, you may not be impossible!" The Gamo clan showed great confidence in me, and I didn't think he meant anything else. "If unification is the trend of the times today, I am afraid that it will not help if manpower is hindered. I have always thought that Your Highness, you are the first wise general and blessed general of the Oda family, and even if the mountains are in the way, you can be leveled with one blow, not to mention that you are still taking advantage of the trend now! ”

"I'm afraid that the role of cavalry in that geographical environment will be greatly limited, and I'm not very sure about the combat with iron cannons as the main force!" I do have some worries that Kyushu is full of temptations and too many variables for me. Since ancient times, that place has been very xenophobic, and few external forces that want to conquer it by force have a good end.

"None of us are actually sure, but haven't we also succeeded a lot in what we are not sure!" Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled and said: "It's a bit long-term to think about such a thing now, and I'm afraid the lord's idea at the moment is to put the grate again!" ”

"You think so?" I asked.

This time he didn't speak, just nodded.

"Report to the lord, the main hall has sent a messenger!" A light head at the door of the camp came in and reported for duty.

"Let him in!" After I gave him the order, I walked to the gate of the Chinese military camp with the Gamo clan and Shima Katsuyo, without informing the others.

With the continuous development of the Oda family, there are now few of the envoys sent by Oda Nobunaga who were the same generation as before, so they are unreasonably inferior to me in terms of status and seniority. Therefore, I generally don't have to gather everyone for the envoys, and I respectfully wait outside the gate, and it is already a very polite gesture to be able to wait at the gate of the Chinese military camp. Besides, he is not a serious messenger today, but a single messenger.

There was still a long way to go from the gate, and we saw a young man with a good appearance and quiet waiting quietly, and I had not seen one or two beautiful people before, but it was rare to achieve this level. Of course, this refers to men! My heart jerked, and my feet sped up a few steps.

"It turned out to be Mori-sama, but I really didn't expect that!" I politely made a gesture of invitation to him.

The young man in front of him is the famous Mori Ranmaru, and his popularity within the Oda family has risen rapidly in the past two years. Although Oda Nobunaga's affection for him has not yet reached the point of obedience, it is not excessive to say that he is enough to exert considerable influence on certain major decisions.

Oda Nobunaga's mysterious relationship with Moriranmaru is a personal sub-affair, and I'm concerned with what role such a person can play, and a single word at a critical moment can change history, so I don't mind being accused of some of my "friendship" ways. It's just that he doesn't have many opportunities to go out because of his sensitive identity, and it's inconvenient for my things to be sent directly under Oda Nobunaga's nose.

"Your Highness the Stars has really tormented me! You are my senior, just call me by my name! "There is not the slightest arrogance in Senranmaru's attitude, and he does not become arrogant because of those special reasons.

"What do you say!" I immediately waved my hand. "Lord Ling Zunsen Kecheng also brought me back then, so I should be equal to adults. It's just that I've been busy with the outside world in recent years, and I don't have the opportunity to talk about the past with everyone in my family. It's a coincidence today, so how about an adult come in and talk about it in detail? ”

"This ...... I'm just sending a message for the lord, so I don't need to! He looked hesitant.

"Mori-sama doesn't have to be pretentious!" Without waiting for me to give a hint, the Gamo clan took the initiative to come forward and persuade: "His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou is open-minded by nature, and he has always been happy to associate with gentlemen. This is a rare opportunity for both of you, and please don't refute the face of His Highness Zhuxing! ”

"So...... I'm disrespectful! Moriranmaru agreed after a little hesitation, and Oda Nobunaga's son-in-law couldn't help but give face. On the other hand, it can also be shown that he did not have any urgent matters this time.

A few of us walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and I still didn't inform the others. With Senlan Maru's status today, it is too grand but awkward, and many things that can be said are impossible to say.

As I entered the tent door, I made two strange gestures to Goto Matabei, who immediately stopped and walked around to the other tent on his left. Shimakatsu also left at my signal, and only the three of us were divided into seats and sat down.

"Let's talk about the lord's edict first!" Before he could sit down, Senranmaru carried out his business. "The lord said that His Highness Zhuxing's army has worked hard all the way, and he can repair here for a day. In addition, a banquet will be held in the city tonight to entertain His Highness, please arrive at that time! ”

"Is there anyone else at the table? Is there anything you need to prepare? I asked.

"It's just an ordinary private banquet, Your Highness doesn't have to be too restrained. As for the other ......" Mori Lan Maru thought for a moment and said, "The lord didn't explain!" ”

"Then I'll be relieved......" I nodded with a relaxed expression, but instinctively felt that there was something in it.

At this time, Goto came up with tea again, and when he came to me, he leaned forward slightly, and a small wooden box turned up from under the tray and appeared in my hand.

"In a hurry, I can't prepare, please don't be surprised, and don't see outside!" I said as I pushed the box towards Senranmaru on the table.

"Your Highness, what does this mean?" He didn't reach for it, looking at me with a little wariness in his eyes.

"It's not a fancy thing, a little gadget!" I didn't mean to say it.

"Oh!" He nodded, his face relieved, and then he reached out to open the box.

In the box lies a Hetian white jade tiger quietly, three inches long and one inch high, the style is simple and crystal clear, but there is a piece of quail egg on the back of the golden yellow soil Qin deep into the texture, the size can be used as a paperweight can also be used as ornaments, pieces.

At this time, the price of Japanese weapons and armor was generally very high, and there were also some people with deep knowledge of Sinology who were keen on calligraphy, painting, and ancient books, but the study and hobby of ancient jade were far from forming a trend, so this kind of thing was expensive and cheap.

"In this way, I thank Your Highness Zhuxing!" After all, Senlan Pill still has a bit of a child's heart, and he accepted it as just a "gadget", and he couldn't put it down when he looked at the strange shape.

"Ahem, ahem,......" I raised my hand to my mouth and coughed vigorously twice. The climate in Vietnam is really bad, and I feel more and more uncomfortable these days. I want the troops to go back to Izumi first, and recuperate in Kyoto for a while, so that the adults will see the main guild agree? ”

"Is Your Highness the Stars unwell? That should really be carefully recuperated......" He was stunned when he heard this, and he really took my words seriously. "His Royal Highness Zhuxing is diligent in the great cause of the Oda family, and he is really a model for my juniors, but we should take care of it even more! Although there has been a small disturbance in the west recently, the lord has a countermeasure in his heart, and he should be sympathetic to His Highness's situation......"

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't do it, I wouldn't have opened this mouth to the lord easily!" I breathed a sigh of satisfaction and emotion, and my heart was truly steady. A piece of Northern Wei Yuhu is worth it, and enough information has been passed out in a few words.

I don't think Oda Nobunaga will really agree with me to recuperate in Kyoto for a while, and Moriranmaru is only answering this temporary question based on his own thoughts, but I can already feel that Oda Nobunaga wants to make a big move again! Don't use me, Shibata Katsuya is still in Echichu, Niwa Nagahide and Sakuma Nobumori don't work very well, so isn't it self-evident who should go?

"I won't bother much here, and please don't be late!" After chatting a few words, Moriranmaru got up and prepared to take his leave.

"Why are you in a hurry, why don't we go together in the afternoon!" I'll keep it.

"The lord may still have instructions, I will ask in front of His Highness another day!" His relationship with me was very ordinary, and it didn't go to the point where he had a banquet in the past.

"So I'm not being polite!" I got up and sent him out with the Gamo clan. "This horse of the adults is really a good horse, but it seems that it is not very good at breeding!" Looking at a northeastern maroon war horse brought by the attendant for him, I pretended to appreciate it profoundly.

"Your Highness really has good eyesight!" Mori Lanmaru actually nodded in admiration. "When I first bought this horse, I just watched it run like a horse. I didn't want to ride for a long time, only to find that after running for 20 miles in a row, the horse would sweat like pulp, and there would be faint foam at the corner of the mouth. I've always loved good horses, but it's hard to find a good horse! ”

"Turns out that Mori-sama also likes horses!" It dawned on me and I was relieved. Because of the relationship between experimental and improved horse breeds, I also have some experience, and I just casually asked and found the "pulse". "I have some good horses in the territory of the mountain city of Katsurakawakou, and there are a number of good horses that have been imported from overseas, and there happens to be a number of them to be presented to the lord in the next year. Since Mori-sama likes it, I'll pick one for you and send it to you! ”

"Since His Royal Highness Yuzhou is full of fist and fist, then he will be ashamed!" After a moment of not fierce ideological struggle, Senranmaru happily agreed. Anyway, it was a batch for Oda's main family, and he wasn't the only one.

"What do you think?" After he left, I asked the Gamo clan.

"It should work well!" He nodded in agreement. "Although I don't expect him to help a lot, if someone says bad things about His Highness in front of the lord, he will definitely instinctively refute it, and there will be no psychological burden!"

"That's exactly what I thought!"

"Just ask Your Highness not to forget ......," the Gamo clan added with a meaningful smile, "He also has two younger brothers!" ”
