Chapter Forty-Nine: Voyeurism
Early morning on April 3rd. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Michizo Saito led his troops to Shotokuji Temple, and according to the agreement, both sides could bring no more than 1,000 retinues this time. Hawkers, this is also Saito Michizo is showing his sincerity, otherwise I'm afraid that no matter how stupid and bold Oda Nobunaga is, he may not dare to meet him.
Saito Michisanpan sat in a sedan chair with an indifferent expression, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't have the feeling of a menopausal old man like yesterday. Maybe only when facing the closest people will Michizo Saito show his human side, right?
Suddenly, Michizo Saito turned his head and gently lifted the curtain with a fan, and what caught his eye was a large patch of yellow.
"It's a cauliflower...... "Michizo Saito whispered with some sighs.
In the past, people used flax to extract oil. Before he became a samurai, Michizo Saito gradually became a well-known oil merchant by selling the oil extracted from this plant.
I don't know when cauliflower seeds replaced flax and became everyone's first choice. However, Saito Michizo certainly didn't sigh for this reason, after all, he had long since stopped being an oil merchant.
"Sooner or later, whatever it is, it will be replaced by something else, and the same is true in the human world...... The world is impermanent......" Michizo Saito sighed. At this time, he is like a lonely old man, and he can't see the demeanor of a generation of heroes.
Nakono Castle.
Yamada Masamura looked speechlessly at Oda Nobunaga, who was sitting there constantly pulling chazuke, and didn't know what to say for a while. You must know that last night, he didn't sleep all night, not because of them, but simply excited. After all, that's to see Michizo Saito! In some ways, he had a profound influence on the troubled times.
But what about Oda Nobunaga? I'm looking forward to meeting Michizo Saito, but today, I'm able to eat leisurely...... Well, Yamada Masamura admits that he didn't have breakfast today......
Enduring the hunger in his stomach, Yamada Masamura saw that Oda Nobunaga seemed to be running out of food, and hurriedly said, "Master Yoshi, the troops have been assembled, just waiting for you!" ā
"Got it~" Oda Nobunaga didn't raise his head in response, but the speed of pulling was also a little faster.
At this time, Nohime, who had been sitting beside Oda Nobunaga, said softly, "Master Kichigashi, after seeing my father, please tell him that Guidie is in good health and is living happily~ You must remember!" ā
"Ha, you may forget~" Oda Nobunaga swallowed the last bit of food and responded casually. "I'm leaving~" he said, and stood up and walked outside.
"Don't worry, don't worry, if that kid forgets Jiboshi, I'll help you remind him." Yamada Masamura also stood up, turned around and left such a sentence, and hurriedly followed.
It's just that I haven't taken two steps when I see Oda Nobunaga suddenly stop, turn his head, and look at Nohime, "Nong, if I come back alive, I'll come and hug you at night~"
Hearing this, Nonghime chuckled, "Don't say anything unlucky. ā
"Hmph~ Isn't this world all unlucky?" Oda Nobunaga smiled, and then beckoned to Yamada Masamura, who was stunned and pretending to be stupid next to him, "Overlord Maru, let's go!" ā
"Oh...... Oh! Yamada Masamura came back to his senses and hurriedly responded. Well, he was directly shocked by Oda Nobunaga's words to hug you, and he really couldn't imagine that the Great Demon King Oda Nobunaga would say such a thing. Well, Oda Nobunaga's words are probably more about guaranteeing that he can come back safely, but where does Yamada Masamura care about the hidden meaning of this sentence?
So along the way, Yamada Masamura looked at Oda Nobunaga with a very strange gaze. However, Oda Nobunaga, who had always had a keen sense, didn't notice it at all, he was keeping his head down and didn't know what he was thinking.
Outside the Zhengde Temple, a traveling merchant stood quietly in a hidden corner, observing the situation in the heavily guarded Zhengde Temple. Itinerant merchants, in this day and age, are very, very common professions, they are independent merchants who specialize in reselling things across borders. Although it is much more dangerous than staying in a store to do business, because of the low cost and large profits, many people who can't make a living choose this industry. Moreover, because they often travel from country to country, they have a lot of information, which is also easy to sell for money.
"What's the matter?" Another merchant walked over and asked softly.
"No, Michizo has been staying in the temple. The number of troops brought also did not exceed the agreed number. The merchant at the beginning said respectfully.
"Hmm...... If there is any situation, report it to Mori-sama immediately! After that, the merchant left immediately.
At this time, in Shotokuji Temple, Saito Michizo was not surprised by the situation, but was thinking about other things.
"My lord."
"Oh, Akabei, I'd like to meet Nobunaga's boy before the official meeting." Michizo Saito said casually.
"Yes!" After the Red Soldier Guard finished speaking, he left directly.
Atsuta Jingu.
"Please bless Master Kichi-sa for his safe return, and please bless my father with all the safety......
Nohime knelt in front of the statue of Amaterasu and prayed quietly. It seems that she is not as calm as she appeared before. However, it's no wonder that one is her husband and the other is his father, and both of them are people who don't like to play cards according to common sense.
Of course, Nohime didn't think that Oda Nobunaga would make trouble with Michizo Saito, but she was worried that if the two sides fought, would someone on her father's side be able to stop Yamada Masamura? Well...... Nohime didn't think so.
The camera pans back.
Next to the avenue leading to Zhengde Temple, there is an abandoned hut, which is the kind of dilapidated house that no one bothers to look at.
"Yes, Michizo Saito has never come out since he entered that house." A traveling merchant whispered.
"Well, you keep observing, and I'll report to Mori-sama." The other merchant responded, and then quickly left.
Soon, Mori reported the information he had received to Oda Nobunaga.
"Oh? Does that pit viper guy want to peek at me? Oda Nobunaga touched his chin, as if thinking about something.
And beside him, Yamada Masamura looked at Mori Kecheng with a thoughtful expression, he was not thinking, but suddenly. Because he finally understood why, in history, Oda Nobunaga had two completely different dresses. If Oda Nobunaga had planned to do so from the beginning, he wouldn't have believed it if he killed Yamada Masamura, because it was impossible to get out of Kono Castle with that strange outfit.
But he saw that when he left Nakono Castle, Hirate Masahide, Hayashi Xiuzhen, Aoyama Yuemon, Sakuma Moritge, Shibata Katsuie, Oda Nobumitsu and other bigwigs all came to see Oda Nobunaga off. In this case, if Oda Nobunaga dares to dress as if he killed Matt, he will definitely be forcibly pulled down by this group of bigwigs, change his clothes and kicked out.
Thinking of this, Yamada Masamura looked at Oda Nobunaga, who was still pondering, "At this time, it's time for the traverser to come out!" Yamada Masamura thought so, and then walked over to Oda Nobunaga.
In the hut where Michizo Saito was, the Red Guards kept looking out of the window, while Michizo Saito sat quietly and waited. Hawkers, my lord, I definitely don't need to do such a trivial thing.
After a while, a troop appeared in the eyes of the Red Soldiers, and dozens of ashigaru walked in front of the line holding a banner painted with the Oda family crest.
"My lord! Here it comes! Here it comes! Red Soldier said excitedly. Uh, is it the excitement of voyeurism?
"Coming?!" Michizo Saito excitedly walked to the window to observe, and then saw the legendary Oda Nobunaga.
Well, of course he hadn't seen Oda Nobunaga before, but Oda Nobunaga's outfit at this time made it hard not to recognize him. Shirtless, tied diagonally with a strip of cloth made of clothes or something, the lower body is the same colorful shorts, and the thighs are completely exposed. He sat cross-legged on his horse, without shoes, and from time to time picked up the gourd and poured wine into his mouth, and suddenly, I don't know if he felt something dirty in his mouth, he squirted the wine in his mouth to the side. And I don't know why, Oda Nobunaga's exposed skin looks so dark.
After a brief silence of "......", there was a burst of laughter in the hut.
"That's Nobunaga? What a dissolute man! Saito Michizo smiled, he couldn't have imagined that Oda Nobunaga would be such a man. And the same is true of the Red Soldiers, who are obviously shocked by Oda Nobunaga's exaggerated dress.
It's just that the laughter didn't last long, and soon, Saito Michizo saw something that shocked him, "That's a spear?" But this length ...... Three and a half rooms!? 1ć2ć3ā¦ā¦ 500 pcs?! Saito's face was a little embarrassed.
For a long time, the spears used in this era were generally three to four meters, and Mino's spear had reached three rooms or 4.8 meters under the improvement of Saito Michizo, but he could never have imagined that in Owari, the legendary big fool actually made three and a half guns.
It's just that when the pikes walked by, the troops that came immediately made him even more dumbfounded. "That's!?" Michizo Saito slammed to the window and pushed the Akabei in front of him out of the way. There is naturally a reason why he is so out of shape, because he sees the epoch-making weapons in his mind, and the number ...... "iron cannons...... 500 pcs?! Saito Michizo looked at the terrifying amount, and his body trembled unconsciously, "When...... There are so many iron cannons?! Saito Michizo said unwillingly, holding the hand of the fan and squeezing it tightly.
He has been introducing iron cannons on a large scale since the discovery of iron cannons, but the number of them today is only 300, because the Portuguese, who mainly sold iron cannons in Kaimachi, sold large quantities of iron cannons to another daimyo. And today, Michizo Saito finally knows who that daimyo is.
Oda Nobunaga...... Although the personality aspect is eccentric, it ......" Michizo Saito pondered.
