The night was already very deep, the wind blew the reeds to make a "huh, huh", the moonlight was bright, and the air was fresh and cool. I sat motionless on the bank of the river, my eyes fixed on the floating fish floats on the water two feet away.

The Ise coalition forces on the other side of the river have long since retreated, and our side is basically empty. The impatient Oda Nobunaga couldn't wait to return to Komaki Mountain Castle, and ten days ago the "Kogie Conference" was held here to decide the new major policies of the Oda family, and even Niwa Nagahide was urgently recruited. At the meeting, everyone praised "Nobunaga's" wise decision, and a few even wept bitterly. In this environment, I naturally won't be able to correct that little "mistake" without opening my eyes! Inspired by the spirit of the meeting, the morale of the once low spirit quickly recovered, which is probably the real purpose of Nobunaga's emergency meeting! But I have done the same thing, and Oda Nobunaga once asked me: If there is no need for suspicious soldiers, why do you need to stock up on so many military uniforms and weapons? My answer is: If the soldiers were to go back to face their families in ragged clothes, many of them would never have the courage to return to the battlefield again! The task of harassment was given to a cautious Mori Koseru, and Nobunaga's army had returned to Komakiyama Castle seven days earlier. The camp has been demolished, the warehouse has been given to the 1,000 cavalry left, the supplies have been loaded into the cart, and I will drive it tomorrow. I don't know why I'm in a very good mood tonight, and I can't sleep anything, so I took a fishing rod to the river to fish at night, and I think I'll wait until tomorrow on the cart to make up for it!

"Lord, you're here too!" Keiji Maeda also took a fishing rod and came behind me. "Move me somewhere!" As he spoke, he pushed me without humility.

I watched as he sat down on the mat beside me. "Why are you here? I don't think you look like you're going to go night fishing! After saying that, my attention returned to the fish float.

"You don't think I'm a sentimental person, do you? That's because you don't know me yet. So far, when the Fengyue place under Cheongju City mentions the 'Flower Festival', I don't know how many young girls are still popular! At this point, he suddenly sniffled a few times unnaturally. …… But today it's because I have a cold and want to drink a bowl of hot and sour fish soup! He lowered his fishing pole, put his right hand into a small jar, and then raised it forward, and a large handful of millet crackled into the water with a strong smell of wine.

"Don't you make trouble, okay?" I said helplessly. "My fish scared you away!"

"Do you know how to fish?" Keiji Maeda said unconvinced: "I'm calling it 'beating the nest', and I'm calling the fish!" Do you understand? ”

"I don't have to 'make a nest' for the fish I catch!" I didn't have the courage to return the favor.

"Don't have to 'make a nest'? What kind of fish are you catching? ”

I didn't answer, I raised my hand and withdrew the rod. Sure enough, the bait on it was gone. I took out a green fat vegetable worm more than half an inch long from a small box next to me, carefully slipped it on the hook, and threw it out.

"Is there a mistake?" Keiji Maeda said with an exaggerated expression. "Even a big-mouthed silver carp can't swallow such a big bait, let alone a crucian carp!"

"There are too many small spines in silver carp and crucian carp, and the flesh is divergent, I don't like it! Besides, silver carp don't eat live bait! ”

"Grass carp can't do it?"

"Grass carp smells earthy!"

"Carp ......"

"Carp?" I pouted and laughed. "I've always thought that carp is more ornamental than edible! I like carnivorous fish like trout, sea bass, and cinnamon fish, which are delicious and have few spines, so these fish are worth eating! ”

"I thought I was living enough to care, but I couldn't think of it...... Oh...... Lord...... Are you too picky? Keiji Maeda asked, staring at me. There are very few such fish! ”

"I saw a catfish here the other day, it's not small!" My attention is still on the fish float.

"This ...... Isn't that too perfectionist? He gave a rare wry smile. If it were someone else, they might have put forward those suggestions in batches, so that they could often remind the hall that it was time to reward you! Is just one general too little? ”

"You see that?" I wasn't too surprised by his insight.

"It's not just me, even the stunned boy who wins the fierce can see it!" Keiji Maeda snorted dissatisfied. "The hall has been talking to you for so long, and as soon as you come out, you are in high spirits! So the perfect plan can never be the product of a hot head, and all the generals in the family who have a little vision can guess what is going on, but no one has said it! ”

"Keiji!" After a moment of silence, I spoke. "I'm a businessman, always! But I'm not a peddler, I want to create something amazing, that's what I'm all about. Instead of over-haggling, it's better to hurry up and create the next thing! That's what I think. ”

"That letter from Sakai is another thing for you?" Keiji Maeda suddenly said, "Is it food?" ”

"Although some were prepared, but not a lot! Businessmen with a slight discerning eye can see this. "I lifted the rod again, and the bait was gone." Besides, there are only three to fifty percent of the profits, which is not worth paying too much attention to! "I'm getting the bait again.

"What's that?"

"Medicine! The main flavors are yellow lotus, licorice, bupleurum and banyan root. ”

"There will be a big plague?" Keiji Maeda looked at me strangely. "How do you know?"

"There are many temples and shrines in Ise, and the bodies of those killed in battle could have been buried as soon as possible, but this time, ......" I shook my head. The corpses on the floating grass are like mountains and rivers of blood, and mosquitoes and flies breed in heavy rains! How can there be no great plague when the soldiers increase the water? ”

"Are you taking advantage of others?"

"How can you say that?" I asked rhetorically. "In this war, there was a serious loss of population in Ise, and the rulers must do their best to reassure people's hearts, even if they want to buy them at a high price. As long as there is medicine, the people can be treated, which not only saves the people but also weakens the enemy, and I also make a little money, why not? ”

"I wonder if this counts as self-confidence or narcissism?" He muttered to himself in deep thought.

"I don't know!" Even though I knew he wasn't asking me, I answered. "I just feel that by living by this standard, I won't regret it in the future!"

Maeda Keiji nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe your performance is the best, in front of the main hall, you have shown your talent and show no ambition, not only know everything but also say everything!" In the future, the main hall should be more reused than wary of you, which is a big advantage. It's just that...... You're not from Owari, and the people of Shibata's faction will be even more jealous and even exclusive of you! ”

"The lesser of two evils!" I've noticed this situation as well, and there's nothing I can do about it in the short term.

"It's coming!" Keiji Maeda raised his hands and shook the hook up, "Wow! "One by one, the long silver carp broke out of the water." Smack! "The fish fell to the ground and crackled and jumped, trying to get back into the water. Keiji Maeda stepped forward and held it down, and lifted it up with a reed through the cheek of the fish. "I'm pretty good, aren't I?" Keiji said excitedly: "The sour and hot fish soup for supper is ready!" ”

"Luck!" I said indignantly.

"Technology! It's technology! He walked back triumphantly, but suddenly turned around and said to me solemnly, "My lord...... We believe in you and will always follow you! But...... Our requirements are not as perfect as yours, a bowl of hot and sour fish soup will do. ”

After Keiji left, I continued fishing. For some reason, after some conversation just now, my mood was a little heavy. "I've grown up? But I'm just over 18 years old, right? Is it responsibility that makes people mature? I can't guess, I can't tell. Maybe that's the growing pains, right? Don't think about it, life is better to be easier! "At this moment, the fishing rod in my hand suddenly sank, and with a strong force, the fishing line was pulled deep into the water." Look where you're running this time! I muttered silently......
