In Wasteland City, Maeda Toshimasa, the governor of the Maeda family, was still sitting in front of the desk, and on the desk, there were several pieces of paper full of words, and Maeda Toshimasa watched it repeatedly, frowning from time to time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a long time, Maeda Toshimasa slowly got up and walked out of the room, looking at the clear sky outside, and muttered in a low voice, "Yamada Masamura......"

Not long ago, Maeda Toshiya still truthfully reported the matter of Sobei to Maeda Toshimasa, but before saying it, Maeda Toshiya told Maeda Toshimasa some interesting things about Yamada Masamura and Oda Nobunaga as if they were talking about family life. Well...... How so? It's as if I'm telling Maeda Toshimasa that although Yamada Masamura is from a very poor background, he is a big celebrity next to Oda Nobunaga, the governor of the Oda family, and he also has a very, very close relationship with the little princess of the Oda family, Aichi......

Therefore, Maeda Toshimasa ordered people to find out all the information about Yamada Masamura overnight, and he has been seeing it until now.

"Father, ......" A light voice sounded behind Maeda Toshimasa.

"Is it Riku? Sit! Maeda Toshimasa pointed to the position next to him and said.

"Yes......" Maeda Toshihisa sat down obediently, and then accompanied Maeda Toshimasa to watch the sky. He is indifferent by nature, does not fight, does not grab, is not in a hurry, is not dry, and almost does not have any negative emotions. Of course, this and the fact that he has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and compared to other younger brothers who are strong in martial arts, he is completely unsuitable to be a samurai.

After a long time, Maeda Toshimasa suddenly sighed, turned around and whispered to Maeda Toshihisa, "You know? Today, when the Riya family went out with Sobei, they ran into Lord Yamada. ”

"Huh? My brother and Yamada-sama really have a very good relationship. Maeda Toshihisa responded casually, looking at Maeda Toshimasa with inexplicable eyes, obviously not understanding why his father was talking to him about this, and that somewhat sad expression made Maeda Toshihisa even more confused.

"It's really very good, so good that when Lord Yamada wanted to make Sobei his retainer, that kid from the Li family even made him a lobbyist." Maeda Toshimasa said with dissatisfaction.

"This?!" When Maeda Toshihisa heard this, he immediately stood up in shock, but his mouth was open for a long time, and he didn't spit out half a word, but just looked at Maeda Toshimasa with a pleading eye.

Looking at Maeda Toshihisa's appearance, Maeda Toshimasa shook his head helplessly. Maeda Toshimasa was obviously not very satisfied with his eldest son, who was frail and sickly, and was completely unable to become a qualified samurai. And his indifferent personality also made him unable to become a wise minister. This is not a pleasant thing for Maeda Toshimasa.

In other words, this Maeda Toshimasa is also a great guy, but when he was young and had a smooth career, he resolutely broke away from the family and came to Arazida to establish his own Arashiko City and Maeda family. To this day, the Arako Maeda family still surpasses the main family, and has 2,000 kokudos of Arakoda, that is, a territory of nearly 6,000 koku. Well, although it can't be compared with Sakuma, Shibata, Lin and other big families, but as a generation, it's obviously very qualified. But now, this generation has found that it does not have a suitable second generation.

Seeing that his father was silent over there, Maeda Toshihisa became even more anxious. Although he has an indifferent personality, it depends on what is going on! "Father, the child is now such an heir, and it is still difficult to adopt him, but you can't really let him be a retainer for that Yamada-sama!"

Coming back to his senses, Maeda Toshimasa looked at Maeda Toshihisa's anxious appearance, and his displeasure was a little more, but he quickly restrained his emotions and asked slowly, "Indeed, Sobei is your only son, but after all, he is only an adopted son, do you think it is worth it to offend Lord Yamada for him?" ”

Well, a good deal...... Maeda Toshimasa is really a qualified family governor, and a child is only seen by him as part of his interests. But then again, in this day and age, this shouldn't be too common.

"Father! Although Yamada-sama is the general of the main family, and he has a close relationship with the lord, he ......"

"But what? But how could the Maeda family be afraid of a small squire? Maeda Toshimasa interrupted Maeda's words and asked impatiently.

Maeda Toshihisa didn't speak, but judging by his performance, it was obvious that he acquiesced.

"Indeed, although this family is not a wealthy family, it also has 6,000 stone Zhixing, so it is impossible to be afraid of a general who has neither a territory nor a retainer." After a pause, seeing that Maeda Toshihisa didn't seem to have reacted yet, Maeda Toshimasa couldn't help but say with some annoyance, "But! Lord Yamada is a big celebrity in front of His Highness! Although he has no background, he is like a brother to His Highness! What's more, Miss Ashi has a very, very close relationship with him! ”

"This ...... How can it be?! Maeda Toshihisa looked at Maeda Toshimasa dumbfounded, not at all relieved by this shocking fact. Hawkers, it's not his fault, how to say this news is really shocking enough. A lowly generation of ninja adopted sons, but he has a very close relationship with the Daimyo's own sister, and he also calls the Daimyo himself a brother? Well, I have to praise Yamada Masamura's secrecy work here, after living in his house for so long, no one found out? It has to be said that it is a very amazing thing.

But if you think about it, I'm afraid that even if they saw it, I'm afraid it would be impossible to believe that Aichi lived in Yamada Masamura's home. After all, this kind of status hierarchy system has long been deeply rooted in their bone marrow, and it is not something that can be easily shaken.

After being shocked, Maeda Toshihisa's face suddenly became extremely exciting, he was not stupid, otherwise he would have been given up by Maeda Toshimasa. The result of the close relationship between Aichi and Yamada Masamura, he can guess with his toes. Although he didn't think that this matter could become a reality, at least now, Yamada Masamura is not something that a mere Maeda family can move.

Just when Maeda Toshihisa was shocked by the thickness of Yamada Masamura's thighs, Maeda Toshimasa poured a basin of cold water on him again. "When Yamada-sama was promoted to the rank of general, Shibata-sama and others did not say anything against it......"

Hearing this, how could Maeda Toshihisa not understand that his father seemed to have made a decision? Adopted son, you can take it again. But offending people is not so easy to solve. Although it is impossible for Shibata Katsuya to support Yamada Masamura, he acquiesced that Yamada Masamura was almost dragged up by Oda Nobunaga and did not speak out against it, which obviously means that Shibata Katsuya is not as resolute in his opposition to Oda Nobunaga as before.

"Isn't there any room for rebuttal?" Maeda Toshihisa smiled bitterly, he didn't have too many ideas after thinking about it, he was not afraid of offending Yamada Masamura, but if it made Oda Nobunaga unhappy because of this, it would not be what the Maeda family wanted to see. You must know that although Oda Nobunaga has always grown up in the name of a fool, Maeda Toshimasa has never forbade Maeda Toshiya and Oda Nobunaga to associate with each other. The Warring States family, in order to survive, never mind letting the children of the clan stand on two or more camps.

At this moment, Maeda Toshiya suddenly walked in, "Father, brother!" ”

"Lijia, why are you here?" Maeda Toshimasa asked with some displeasure, he always felt that Maeda Toshi's family would come this time, and something would happen that made him unhappy.

If it was in the past, Maeda Toshimasa had such an obviously unhappy expression, Maeda Toshi's family would have hid as far as he could, but now, as if he hadn't seen it, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over. "Father, this is what the lord asked the child to give you."

Accepting the letter casually, Maeda Toshimasa did not open it immediately, but looked at Maeda Toshiya with blazing eyes. And Maeda Toshi, who has always been afraid of his father, is looking at him uncharacteristically at this time, not giving an inch at all.

After a long time, Maeda Toshimasa suddenly sighed, with a tired, gloomy, and somewhat relieved expression on his face, "Lijia, you have grown up...... Have an idea of your own...... Very good! Very good! Maeda Toshimasa said something that made Maeda Toshihisa completely inexplicable, but Maeda Toshiya seemed to understand.

"Father, ......" Maeda Toshiya saw Maeda Toshimasa's appearance, and wanted to say something but couldn't say a word, after all, this matter, for the Maeda family, is really not very authentic.

Maeda Toshihisa looked at Maeda Toshimasa suspiciously, then at Maeda Toshiya, and then looked at the letter that was still unopened, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

Sure enough, Maeda Toshimasa was silent for a moment before turning his head and saying to Maeda Toshihisa, "Go back and help Zongbei pack his luggage, and by the way, help him prepare for the Yuan Costume ceremony." Well...... Yamada-sama is invited to attend the ceremony. ”

"Yes......" Maeda Toshihisa replied calmly, since he can't object, then he can only accept it, although Maeda Toshihisa is not suitable to be a samurai, but he still sees many things in this era very clearly.

After Maeda Toshihisa left, Maeda Toshimasa turned his head to look at Maeda Toshiya, who was standing there a little helpless, and he didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little funny. "Lijia, what's wrong? Started to get worried? ”

"Since you have decided to serve His Highness with all your might, then do a good job and don't disappoint me......" he said, ignoring the Maeda Toshiya family, turning around and entering the room.

"Don't worry! Father! The child is convinced that as long as the Maeda family follows the lord, they will definitely get more honors than now! Maeda Toshiya said firmly.

At this time, Oda Nobunaga's mansion in Nakono Castle, Oda Nobunaga was also discussing this matter with Nohime.

"I really didn't expect it, I casually mentioned it, and that kid from Overlord Maru fell in love with the kid of the Maeda family. It's really ......" Oda Nobunaga shook his head, looking unhappy, as if he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Yamada Masamura always gave him trouble.

"Really? I'm really interested in that kid called Sobei, you know, Overlord Maru is rarely looked down on. Nohime chuckled and helped Oda Nobunaga massage his shoulder, his eyes revealing curiosity.

"Cut, I'm angry when I talk about this, that kid from Overlord Pill is obviously from such a bad background, why does he always look down on the world?"

"Hehe~ Aren't you the same with Master Jifa?"

"Ahem...... I was brought bad by that kid from Overlord Maru! ”
