"Please Yoshinobu-sama marry Princess Inu!" Hideyoshi Hashiba prostrated in a very formal prostration, prostrating in front of Oda Yoshinobu and pleading.

Well, as a retainer of the Oda family, even if Oda Yoshinobu is the lord of the country, and Hashiba Hideyoshi is only the lord of the city, no matter how you look at this kind of etiquette, it seems that it is not suitable for Oda Yoshinobu. After all, no matter how high Oda Yoshinobu's status in the Oda family is, he is only a retainer of Oda Nobunaga after all, and he is a colleague with Yushiba Hideyoshi.

But at this time, Yushiba Hideyoshi still performed this big gift, naturally not because he was afraid of Oda Yoshinobu, but because he wanted to show his determination in this way. Hawkers, to put it bluntly, it means that Yushiba Hideyoshi wants to marry a dog, which is something he thinks must be done, and no matter how difficult it is, he can't stop his determination on this matter.

In the first place, Oda Yoshinobu took a heavy puff on the cigar in his mouth, and then spit it out gently, not answering, just quietly watching the smoke. Originally, he had already decided that as long as Hashiba Hideyoshi dared to step into Osaka Castle, he would teach him a hard lesson, and then throw him out of the city directly. It's just that when he really saw Yushiba Hideyoshi, he suddenly found that his previous thoughts were not so firm.

Through the smoke, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly discovered that Yushiba Hideyoshi was no longer the frizzy young man he had been at the beginning, and he was no longer the unscrupulous imp. Although he still laughs and scolds casually in private or when he is alone with Oda Nobunaga, in such a rather formal occasion, Oda Yoshinobu will unconsciously put away that casualness. After all, at such a time, he represented the important minister of the Oda family, the god of war, and was the object of longing for almost all young Oda samurai.

"Is this what it's like to grow up?" Oda Yoshinobu thought a little wistfully, "If you think about it, I seem to be 29 years old this year...... Time flies so fast! Oda Yoshinobu shook his head, looked at Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was still prostrating below, and said lightly, "Lord Hashiba, don't make this big salute, sit down and talk first." ”

"Yoshinobu-sama......" Hashiba Hideyoshi raised his head and looked at Oda Yoshinobu, although he still wanted to say something, but seeing Oda Yoshinobu constantly swallowing clouds and spitting fog over there, Hashiba Hideyoshi hesitated for a moment, and finally stood up and walked to the side and sat down.

After sitting down, Oda Yoshinobu was still smoking his cigar to himself, and Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't know what to say when he saw this. All the words prepared at the beginning were completely confused by Oda Yoshinobu's silence. All he can do now is wait. After all, his request has been uttered thoroughly, no matter how silent Oda Yoshinobu is, can he still pretend not to hear?

I don't know how long it took, but Oda Yoshinobu said faintly, "Lord Yushiba, unconsciously, you are getting old......

In a word, he almost choked Hideyoshi Hashiba to death. Well, he is 31 years old this year, and in this era of average life expectancy of only 50 years, he has already completed half of his life. But obviously, Hideyoshi Hashiba didn't feel that he was old, at least in his own heart, his brilliant life was just about to begin.

"Haha, yes, but Oda-sama hasn't changed much~" Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled dryly, thinking about the meaning of Oda Yoshinobu's words.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head lightly and said, "The appearance has not changed, but the heart is old, otherwise it will ......" Oda Yoshinobu said this, looking at Hashiba Hideyoshi and suddenly laughing, "Do you know what I thought when I received the news that you want to marry a dog?" ”

Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Hashiba Hideyoshi's expression suddenly became strange, obviously he didn't expect Oda Yoshinobu to say this at all. But in the blink of an eye, Yushiba Hideyoshi knew what Oda Yoshinobu meant, "I think, if it was Yoshinobu when I was young, I'm afraid that he would have scolded the dead monkey and dared to marry Princess Inu, and at the same time throw me down from here, right?" ”

After saying that, Yushiba Hideyoshi shook his head again and said, "No, if I was still young, I wouldn't need you Yoshinobu at all, and the lord would have thrown me out directly." ”

"Hahaha!!" Hearing Hideyoshi's words, Oda Yoshinobu immediately burst out laughing. Hideyoshi's words made him easily think of the kind of scene he was talking about, and the sad Hideyoshi Hashiba was shaken by the collar of the enraged Oda Nobunaga, and then Hideyoshi Hashiba flew out while screaming.

Seeing this, Hideyoshi Hashiba also laughed, and a hearty laugh came out of the room, lingering in the courtyard. At this moment, Hideyoshi Hashiba's fear of the existence of Oda Yoshinobu finally disappeared completely. This change not only made Hideyoshi Hashiba not afraid when facing Oda Yoshinobu, but also made him more confident on the road of samurai.

After a long while, the laughter stopped, looking at the relaxed expression of Hashiba Hideyoshi, Oda Yoshiki secretly thought confidently, "This is the monkey who is full of confidence in everything in his memory, but unfortunately, you can't become Guan Bai in this life." Thinking about it, Oda Yoshinobu said in a deep voice, "Hashiba-sama, although you ask me so much, I am sorry that I refuse on behalf of Inu. ”

Hearing this, Hashiba Hideyoshi was not surprised, because Oda Nobunaga's attitude could already explain a lot of things. However, he Yushiba Hideyoshi has never been a person who gives up easily, if it was before, he might not dare to fight for it because he was afraid of Oda Yoshinobu, but now, he has changed his state of mind is different.

"Yoshinobu-sama, is it because I'm not qualified enough, or is it because I'm not qualified?" Hashiba Hideyoshi looked directly at Oda Yoshinobu and asked in a deep voice, This was before, but Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't think of it.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu did not answer, but casually threw a cigar to Yushiba Hideyoshi, took it in a hurry, lit it and smoked it under the guidance of Oda Yoshinobu, "Whew...... It's such a good thing, no wonder the lord and Yoshinobu like to smoke so much. ”

"Haha~ This root is a reward for you, if you still want it, become the lord of the country first~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed.

"The lord of the country? I got it! Hashiba Hideyoshi nodded and looked at Oda Yoshinobu, and said with a very serious expression, "After I become the lord of the country, I will come to visit again!" After saying that, Yushiba Hideyoshi respectfully bowed to Oda Yoshinobu and slowly retreated.

Looking at the back of Hideyoshi Hashiba leaving, until it disappeared, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, do you really want to marry a dog to a monkey?" It's really hard to accept! ”
