82, the "gift" offered by the poisonous snake

The place where I met Sadakin, Nagafune, was in a small living room on the second floor of the castle tower, and on either side sat four people: Nagano Yoshimasa, Takenaka Hanbei, Gamo Fuhide, and Shinhachiro. In terms of appearance, Takenaka and Gamo are both white-faced scholars, and their looks are too delicate! Nagano is a tiger general, but it's a pity that he is a few years older. Only Shinhachiro can still shock the scene. I am the victor, and they have come to me for peace! If it's just like this, it's a bit frustrating.

I want to find a few majestic generals, ashigaru generals, and then stand on two rows of heavily armed flags, but I feel a little childish! If the dignified stars Iyomori is surrounded by some generals who are not famous, it is better to have none at all. After some consideration, I asked Ah Xue to stand behind me in my original gorgeous Nanban armor, no matter what, she has made some fame in the past two years. After a closer look, it is still a fly in the ointment. Hey, why did I send out all the fierce generals in charge!

Sadako Nagafune is a fat man, fatter than Yoshiei Takaya! It's not the fat one with a fat face, but like a ball that rolls on the ground at any moment. At the moment, he was in the middle of the floor in front of me, and he was in a five-body posture.

"The honorable driver is the longship, right?" I asked knowingly in a majestic voice.

"Yes, the foreign minister came to meet His Highness on behalf of the Uki family on behalf of the Uziya family!" His face was still pressed against the floor, and even his voice was full of reverence. "Congratulations from all over the world! Congratulations to His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou for showing his might and shaking the western country! I wish you good health and good health! I wish the stars a prosperous and prosperous family and a lasting ......"

"Showing your might? That's a good way to say it! I sneered, "Could it be that His Highness Ukita just wanted to try my 'divine might', which is why he repeatedly met in front of me with soldiers?!" ”

"The minister is sincerely afraid...... "The longship Sadako really trembled, as if she was ready to start rolling." His Royal Highness Ukita has always had a heart of reverence for your Highness the stars Yuzhou, and the misunderstanding that happened in Tajide Stone City the year before last was really that His Royal Highness was coerced by those arrogant and ignorant people in the family, so that he couldn't help himself! But even so, my lord still didn't dare to face His Royal Highness's military might with his own banner, so the whole army covered the flag and marched forward, but in the end, it was difficult for the fireflies to compete with Haoyue, and the contemptible family was just humiliating! ”

"And what about this time?" Hearing him say this, my heart was much better, and my vanity was further inflated.

"This time there is actually suffering, and there are ...... words," Listening to the tone, Nagafune Sadako really seems to have a lot of suffering." Oda Right General competes with the Mori family in the western country, and the Uki family can only survive between these two forces. Due to many factors such as history, geography, and humanities, the Uki family had to take refuge in the Maori family. Since it is a life of sending people under the fence and relying on people's noses, how dare you disobey orders if you have an order? His Royal Highness Sanqi Chuan Shangyuzhou's army is mighty, and the contemptuous lord does not dare to face it squarely and leave in a panic, doesn't this explain the problem? ”

Since the enemy has "softened" to this extent, then even if the head of the person is killed, I glanced at the half-guard of Takenaka.

"It's been a long work for the two longships, and it's still calm along the way, right?" He kind of greeted me for a while.

"Well, it can be said that it is very good!" Nagafune Sadashi straightened up, and the "flattery" expression on his face became even thicker. “…… The army of His Highness Zhuxing can really be described as a benevolent and righteous army, and he has broken through strong enemies in a few days and has not committed any crimes! Zhenqin sighed and sighed all the way, it is really a blessing to have a sage like you in the western country, and at the same time, I am deeply relieved to be in the western country. I have not encountered the slightest obstacle in the area under your control, but the repeated foolish mistakes of the despised family have caused the foreign ministers to return to the country sluggishly! ...... then"

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to escort you then!" I don't know how he came to such a conclusion, did I do something like killing the messenger?

"According to what your lord said, it seems that His Highness Ukita does not want to be our enemy?" Gamo Fuxiu asked.

"This is natural! With the meager strength of the Uki family, how dare they compete with the world's strong soldiers of His Royal Highness Yuzhou? But ......," said Nagafune, and Sadako hesitated again. "At present, the Uki family is still under the wing of the Maori family after all, and many things are also powerless, so please give the state lord your understanding about this!"

"What does that mean?" I was a little nonsense for a while.

"That's ...... say," Nagano seemed to understand. Do you want to 'fight passively' against your superiors? ”

"Passive warfare? This is really an apt reference, and this is what the Uki family means! Nagafune nodded excitedly.

"Then His Highness Ukita doesn't have any 'expression'?" Gamo Fuxiu asked. Actually, I wanted to ask this question for a long time, but it was a little difficult to say it because of the high profile of the winner.

"I will make it clear when the foreign minister comes, and I must show enough sincerity to His Royal Highness Yuzhou!" Speaking of this, Nagafune Sadako paused for a moment, and seemed to have made a great deal of determination. "The Ukika family is willing to present to His Royal Highness Yushu, the four counties of Tomada, Kume, Makoma, and Ote, a total of 120,000 ...... in Misasaka Province."

"What?!" I had a bit of a hair on the top of my head, and I knew that my blood pressure was going up without measuring. "Tomada and Kume are already in my hands, and Zhenyu and Dating are also just around the corner! Why is the Ukita family so generous to others?! Why is he in charge of the affairs of the Urakami family?! "I was so excited that I violated diplomatic conventions and did not use honorifics.

"No wonder His Royal Highness Yuzhou is angry, this matter is indeed a little helpless!" Sadako Nagafune sighed, as if she was considerate of me. "The troops of this family were captured by His Royal Highness Shenwei in Sanqichuan, and they retreated in panic, because the family and the Urakami family have a deep relationship, they plan to dissuade them from being enemies of His Royal Highness Yuzhou again. On the way, I was surprised to hear that His Royal Highness Urakami Zongjing had turned over, and the two young masters had a sudden fight, so they drove into Tianshen Mountain City to mediate for them. It's a pity that the two Urakami Highnesses are young and spirited, and they don't listen to the sincere words of the contemptible lord to offer the four counties and His Royal Highness Yuzhou! In this unavoidable situation, the contemptible lord had no choice but to temporarily take over all the affairs of the Urakami family, and was ready to return the service after the two highnesses came to their senses......"

Ukita Naoya is a big bastard, which can be completely qualified! He must have used the excuse of assisting the Urakami family to defend against me, and maybe he even promised the two little wastes of the Urakami family sweet words to help them seize the throne. When he entered the chicken nest, the "fox" immediately showed his hideous face, not only holding the two "chickens" in his mouth, but also daring to show his teeth and claws at me, the "lion" who was forcing in. Now I feel that Nagafune's deferential attitude just now is completely sarcastic to me, and it seems that it is not possible to kill a few people!

"It seems that His Royal Highness Ukita is determined to fight against the Oda family and His Highness Zhuxing to the end?" Gamo Fuxiu asked with a calm face, his voice full of anger.

"How can the Wave Warrior have such guts?!" Sadashi Nagafune let out an exclamation. “…… With the meager strength of the contemptible lord, how dare he compete with the mighty army of His Royal Highness Zhuxing Yuzhou! Precisely because he was afraid of His Highness's thunderous wrath, the contemptuous lord was ready to ......" He turned his head to look out the window at the sky. "In about half an hour, the bridges on the Nuki River will be attacked by fireships coming down from the upstream, and the initiative of the Lord Yu Prefecture on the Kogi River back then can be called a classic, and the Uki family is just a follow-up to the East! Just in case, the five roads on the west bank of the Nu Oni River will be blown up from the most dangerous part of the mountain by midnight today, all because the Uki family really doesn't dare to block His Highness's unpredictable heavenly might! If you can get the generous favor of His Royal Highness, I want to return to His Highness's territory through the ......."

My temples were pounding, and I suspected I was close to the brink of a cerebral hemorrhage. Ukita Naoya expected that I was in front of me, and the fire attack of the Angry Oni River was unstoppable, even if I crossed the river by boat desperately, could I get to the broken place before midnight? At that time, it will still be a situation that cannot be up or down. But he also forgot a little, forgot to calculate my anger, and this time the whole army passed around Tajima, and I had to clean him up! Now I'll kill this messenger first, and I'll lose my reputation! Don't persuade me, and don't listen to me!

"Damn! Damn it! One more thing, look at my memory! Nagafune patted her forehead with her hand as if she had just remembered.

"What's the matter?" My voice was hoarse, revealing a grunting murderous intent.

"When our army took over the Heavenly God Mountain City, 'Coincidentally' also received the hostages left there by all the wealthy clans in the former Urakami Territory!"

"Ahh With a small exclamation, we all understand why there is no more of a surrendered wealthy family. Even if they end up abandoning the hostages and choosing me, they will have to see the situation first.

"When he came, the contemptuous lord confessed...... "The longship lady continued, and I looked at that expression at the moment, which was a shameless expression." If His Highness can forgive us for our past offenses, then we will be grateful, and we are willing to offer hostages of the wealthy families of the four counties of Misaku to atone for our previous sins! If His Royal Highness Yuzhou refuses to tolerate ......"

"What about intolerance?! Want to compete with me?! I said viciously.

"How dare this, how dare this...... "He kept prostrating." The contemptible lord will contact their families through these hostages, hoping to gain your understanding through their 'intercession'! No matter what happens, Ukido will strive for your forgiveness as the ultimate goal! ”

I expected it, and he expected it! Don't say that the wealthy clans in these four counties are all rebellious, even if half of them go up to the mountains to fight guerrillas with me, they are busy enough, and when they are all held down, I don't know what the situation is, who can say clearly what the situation was at that time? Can...... I only got 120,000 koku in the four counties with so much effort, but the Ukita Naoke family instead got the two Mimasaka counties plus about 200,000 koku in the northeastern part of Bizen, which is also a big loss, right?!

Looking at the back of the longship lady who disappeared outside the door, I said in a very nasal voice: "Fortunately, I sent everyone out, and only a few of you are left here!" ”

"Huh?" Gamo looked at me in surprise.

"Really...... It's so TMD! I didn't hold back and explained.
