************** ************** ************** text**************

Oda Yoshinobu was proud of the spring breeze in the palace, and the other person was distressed by the confusion in his heart.

"Brother! Sister-in-law! I am back! As soon as the words fell, a tall and handsome man walked in, but it was Akechi Mitsuhide's younger brother, Akechi Shuman. Well...... It's so fragrant, what does my sister-in-law do to eat again? Wise so-man smelled the fragrance of the house, and instantly ran to the kitchen, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was knocked off by Hee-ja.

"How many times have you said it, you are now a retainer under your husband's command, a real samurai, don't always act like a child." Heezi helplessly looked at the greedy Wise Xiuman, but unfortunately, the eyes of the wise Xiuman classmates were still focused on the food in the pot.

"Bear with me a little longer, and I'll start dinner when your eldest brother comes back." Heezi said with a blank look and a full look.

"Huh? Hasn't my brother come back yet? Wise Bright asked strangely, it was already close to dusk at this time, and according to reason, Wise Mitsuhide should have come back a long time ago.

"He said that there were some things that he couldn't figure out and wanted to go out and about." Heeko sighed.

"Can't figure it out?"

"Hmm." Heeko nodded, "Maybe it's because there have been three lords in a row this year......" Akechi Mitsuhide didn't talk about his troubles with Heeko and Akechi Supitsu, but the two people who live together every day can more or less guess a little. Although, this point is still far from the truth.

Hearing this, Zhizhi Xiuman scratched his head, "What's wrong with this?" His Royal Highness Oda is a rare king, and if he becomes his retainer, his brother's talents will be useful. ”

"So, you're very optimistic about His Highness Oda?" Heezi asked.

"Uh...... Shouldn't it be me, right? Isn't that clear? Under the command of His Royal Highness Oda, the Oda family has become the most powerful force in the world from Owari to the world. In any case, it's much better than the eyeless Asakura Yoshikei and the arrogant general, right? Aye-so muttered.

Well, for Asakura Yoshikei and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Akechi Hideman is full of resentment. After all, in his eyes, these two didn't give his brother Akechi Mitsuhide a chance to display his talents at all. And what about Oda Nobunaga? Not long after joining the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga appointed Akechi Mitsuhide as the governor of the Kyoto garrison. Even though Akechi Shumitsu doesn't know much about politics, he understands the importance of this position.

Of course, the main reason is because Oda Yoshinobu, the idol of Wise Hideman, is a retainer of Oda Nobunaga. Hawkers,From the adopted son of a ninja to the number one retainer of the Oda family.,Sitting on the fief of Ise a country.,The unparalleled samurai known as Shura by the world.,Whether it's a war or a personal competition.,Haven't tasted defeat.。 Just think about it, Wise Xiuman is so excited that he can't help himself.

Hearing this, Xizi nodded, "In that case, when your brother comes back, you can persuade him." ”

Hearing Xizi's words, Wise Xiuman immediately shrunk his neck, "Sister-in-law, forget it, where do I dare to persuade my brother to grow up......"

Hearing this, Xizi sighed helplessly, "What should I do then......

Sagano, a small and inconspicuous temple. The presiding officer here was sitting in the hallway, chatting with a gray-haired old man. The old man looked to be about 60 years old, but from that angry voice, he sounded quite good, and he kept pouring wine, but he didn't show the slightest drunkenness.

"Master Miao, a samurai who claims to be the wise Jubei Mitsuhide wants to see you." A nun walked over briskly and whispered.

Hearing this, Master Miao Yang hadn't spoken yet, but the old man smiled and said, "Oh? Is that the kid of the Ten Soldiers? I remember...... He should be a retainer of the Oda family now, right? ”

"Hehe, you're not confused~" Master Miaoyang said with a smile.

"Haha, of course! I'm Uncle Akabei! Red Guard laughed.

After a while, Akechi Mitsuhide walked over slowly, he looked at the Red Soldier in astonishment, and then hurriedly walked over, "Akechi Mitsuhide has seen Lord Red Soldier!" After speaking, he said to Master Miao Yang too respectfully, "I've seen the master." ”

"Haha, what adults are not big? Now I'm just an old man living in seclusion. Red Soldier Guard laughed when he heard this.

"Then Wise Master, I don't know what you have to do with the old nun as a monk?" Master Miaoyang went straight to the point, although Wise Mitsuhide was her son and nephew, but she had already been far away from Hongchen, but she didn't want Hongchen to interfere with her too much.

Hearing this, Wise Mitsuhide hurriedly said his troubles. Well, he really got into a dead end and couldn't get out, so he had to come to ask for help. Before becoming a monk, Master Miaoyang was named Wan'a, but she was the wife of Michizo Saito before he left for Mino. And Akabei, who is an important minister around Michizo Saito, can be said to have grown up watching Akechi Mitsuhide, and for them, Akechi Mitsuhide naturally doesn't need to hide anything.

It's just that, after listening to Akechi Mitsuhide's words, Master Miaoyang hasn't spoken yet, but the Red Soldier Guard laughs again.

"Ten Guards, this is called the trouble of the smart!" Red Soldier Wei smiled, took a big sip of wine, and said, "The old lord once said that you kid is not suitable to be a daimyo, do you know why? ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Akechi Mitsuhide paused for a moment, obviously not thinking that Michizo Saito would once comment on him like this. I have to say that this is a huge blow to Akechi Mitsuhide, who still has no vision to inherit the dreams and ambitions of Michizo Saito.

Looking at Akechi Mitsuhide's slightly trembling body, the Red Soldier Wei smiled strangely, "What, unwilling? ”

Silent...... After half a ring, Akechi Guangxiu said respectfully, "There is nothing unwilling to be unwilling, the lord is indeed not wrong." It's been a few years since I left Mino, but I still haven't achieved anything in Xia, and from this point of view, I really don't have the talent to become a daimyo in Xia. ”

It's just that, hearing Akechi Mitsuhide's words, the Red Soldier kept shaking his head, "No, you're completely wrong!" ”

"Shibei, in terms of knowledge and martial arts, even if you are compared to Nobunaga, you will not be much inferior." Akabei said as he poured another sip of wine, squinted at Akechi Mitsuhide and asked, "In that case, do you know why the lord still says that you don't have the talent to become a daimyo?" ”

"This ......" Akechi Mitsuhide was a little dazed by the words of the Red Soldier, so he could only say helplessly, "Please also ask Lord Red Soldier to solve your doubts." ”

On the side, Mrs. Miao Yang also helped, "Red Soldier, you old man, don't go around anymore, in this case, Old Nico will ......"

Before he finished speaking, the Red Soldier suddenly said in a panic, "Boss, you are a monk now, how can you still threaten people?!" "Tsk, looking at his expression, it is obvious that some pigtails have been caught in the hands of Master Miaoyang. As for the hostess...... Well, but because Akabei and Saito Michizo worked together in the oil shop of Miaoyang Shita back then, but Saito Michizo did it, so he became the boss......

Hearing this, Master Miao Yang covered his mouth and chuckled, "Hehe, monks naturally can't threaten others, and you are not an outsider, so you want to ...... in Lao Nun's shop back then."

"Ah...... Hahaha...... "Seeing that Master Miaoyang seemed to be planning to lift the old bottom, the Red Soldier Guard hurriedly laughed twice and immediately changed the topic.

"Shibingwei, in fact, you don't have to be unconvinced, the reason why the lord said this is because he has long seen through you, and he doesn't have a hegemon's heart at all!" At the end, Red Soldier's expression became serious.

"Overlord's heart......" Akechi Mitsuhide watched the Red Soldier Guard muttering in a low voice, vaguely with a hint of realization.

"Yes, the heart of the overlord!" The Red Soldier Bar smacked his lips, then scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "But to be honest, I don't know what the so-called overlord heart is, although I have asked several times before, but he just doesn't say." He also said that even if he told me, it would only make me more troubled. ”

"Hehe, then didn't you say it in vain?" Master Miao Yang smiled when he heard this.

"Haha~ Really?" The Red Soldier touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.

Shaking her head, Miaoyang Shitai didn't say anything more, maybe over the years, she had long been used to the indecent character of the Red Soldier Guard. Then, she turned her head to look at Akechi Mitsuhide, who was standing there preoccupied, and whispered, "Akechi-sama, although the old nun doesn't know the world of samurai, he can tell you something about Brother Zhuang Jiulang. Perhaps, after hearing this, you may understand something. ”

The eldest brother Zhuang Jiulang in the mouth of Miaoyang Shitai is the name of Saito Mizushi Saito's family. Maybe it's because Saito Michizo didn't fulfill his promise to Miaoyang Shita in the end, or maybe it's because of some other things, in short, he doesn't recognize Saito Michizo as her big brother Zhuang Jiulang at all.

Hearing this, Wise Guangxiu hurriedly said, "Master, please speak." ”

"How so? Although Lao Ni doesn't know how Saito Michizo explains the heart of the hegemon, in the eyes of Lao Ni, Brother Zhuang Jiulang is a person who will never give up as long as he has a firm goal. Miao Yang said in a low voice, she looked up at the sky, her face was full of nostalgia, maybe although she was a monk, she couldn't forget the man who occupied all the positions in her life from beginning to end.

"When Lao Ni first met Zhuang Jiulang's eldest brother, he was just a ronin. Later, after becoming the husband of Lao Ni, although he had a rare talent in business, he never forgot his earliest dream...... Later, although he returned to Kyoto from Mino due to some things, he still did not waver in the slightest about his dream......" Miaoyang Shita said slowly, "With a belief that will never waver, maybe this is the heart of a hegemon as Brother Zhuang Jiulang said......"

"Faith that will never be shaken......" Akechi Mitsuhide kept repeating this sentence, and suddenly remembered something he had heard before. That was before Nohime got married, because Saito Michizo was interested in marrying the Oda family, so he sent Erji to investigate Oda Nobunaga's situation.

Soon after, the ear reciprocated and told Oda Nobunaga about his various foolish behaviors, and said that Oda Nobunaga often said that he would become a man who would rule the world in the future. At that time, everyone who heard it thought it was a joke, and so did him, and they all thought that Owari's great fool really lived up to his name. But Saito Michizo didn't smile when he heard this, but just said lightly, at least, he dared to say this idea......

Looking back now, Oda Nobunaga must have received a lot of ridicule in Owari when he spoke about this dream. If he couldn't persevere, but because of the ridicule of others, he finally chose to compromise with reality and give up his dream, would it be possible for him to achieve what he is today?

"Maybe I'm just too weak to persevere...... "Akechi Mitsuhide thought to himself.

At this time, the Red Soldier Guard walked up to Akechi Mitsuhide, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Mitsuhide, in fact, you kid don't have to worry about this and that every day. How can it be that many things in this world are all up to you? It's like the lord of him, although he talks about the world every day, but in fact, in the end, he just won the country of Minong. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed with a sigh, "Look at Oda Nobunaga's kid again, now that he has succeeded in Shangluo, the world seems to be beckoning to him." Is...... It's not okay to be old if you don't accept it~" As he spoke, the Red Soldier Guard poured another sip of wine. The lonely expression seems to be lamenting that the years are urging people to grow old, and no matter how powerful a person is, he will still be eliminated by the times after all.

It's a pity that his pretense was very unsuccessful, because he forgot that there was a Miaoyang Master next to him who would complain at any time.

"O Red Soldier, old nun remember that you have never been in the past and now, right? Although Lao Nu doesn't know your situation in Meinong, but in Lao Ni's shop, you don't seem to be able to do that thing well except for eating a lot~" Master Miao Yang said at the end, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, as if she remembered something interesting.

"Boss, where can I not eat more than eat?" When the Red Guards heard this, they immediately defended themselves loudly. It's a pity that after holding it for a long time, he didn't say what else he would do. In the end, he had to smile bitterly, "Boss, you can spare the old man." ”

After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Miaoyang Shitai would say something again, so he hurriedly looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and said, "Shibingwei, in life, there are many times when it is better to be confused." Because people are so smart, many times they will only ask for trouble like you. After a pause, the Red Soldier took another sip of wine and sighed, "The old man can't help you much with your affairs." Still, I can give you a little advice. ”

"Lord Akabei, please."

"Now that you are an important minister of the Oda family, I heard that His Royal Highness Oda has put you in charge of the garrison of Kyoto. It's not just about trusting you, it's also about your chance. Work hard to show your talents, let the world know and remember you wisely and beautifully. At that point, it's not too late for you to think about your dreams. Akabei laughed. And maybe by that time, your troubles will have already disappeared~"

Hearing this, Akechi Mitsuhide was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Akabei, for your advice." ”

Well, although Akabei's words didn't solve Akechi Mitsuhide's confusion, they did really sober him up. Because during this time, because of the confusion about the future and himself, he was not in the mood to deal with the defense of Kyoto at all. If it goes on like this, not to mention any dreams and ambitions, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be replaced by Oda Nobunaga.

Akechi Mitsuhide has always believed that he has a talent that is rare in the world, and if he can't do the task assigned by Oda Nobunaga because of his mentality, he will be dismissed. So what others think and what Oda Nobunaga will do with him aside, he alone will not be able to forgive himself, and it will even become a shame that he will not be able to forgive for the rest of his life.

Looking at the back of Akechi Mitsuhide's departure, Chibei shook his head helplessly, "The current juniors, it's really not worry-free." ”

"Oh? Then Lord Red Guard, you ...... back then," Master Miao Yang looked at the Red Guard with a long voice.

"Haha! The old man has said the wrong thing again! The Red Guard smiled and patted his head.

Shaking his head, Master Miaoyang ignored the funny of the Red Soldier, but looked at the sky and said lightly, "I don't know why, I always feel that the world can return to peace under the governance of the Oda family." ”

"Really?" The Red Soldier replied, also looked up at the sky and sighed, "If that's the case, I'm afraid the lord is the happiest, after all...... His Royal Highness Oda is the heir handpicked by the lord......"

"Heir?" Hearing this, Master Miao Yang glanced at the Red Soldier, then turned his head to look at the sky, and muttered in an indescribable emotion, "Brother Zhuang Jiulang still likes to talk so much~"

Hearing this, the Red Soldier Guard paused for a moment, and then suddenly laughed, "Haha! Really! Hehe, when I see his death again, I must tell him this sentence! ”

At night, Akechi Mitsuhide's residence in Kyoto.

After eating, Akechi Mitsuhide began to look at the fact that he had not been in the mood to watch the Kyoto Preparedness Report during this time, and not far away, Heiko was washing the dishes and chopsticks while looking at Akechi Mitsumitsu's side.

"Go!" Heeko gestured with her mouth to indicate that Akechi was supither.

"But......" Wise Hideman was obviously not too willing to persuade Wise Hide, after all, in normal times, he was quite afraid of his clan brother.

"Go!" Heezi added a look of intimidation this time. Well, on one side is the awe-inspiring brother and lord, and on the other side is the sister-in-law who is in charge of the meal, who is Zhizhi Xiuman afraid of the most? Well...... There seems to be no doubt about that. After hesitating for a moment, Wise Hideman walked over to Wise Hide.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wise Mitsuhide turned his head to look, and saw Wise Hideman's hesitant face, and immediately smiled, "Xiuman, what's wrong?" Is there something you want from me, brother? ”

Saying that, without waiting for Wise Bright to speak, Wise Light Show said to himself, "Hmm...... Did you fall in love with a girl from which family? Speaking of which, you're 31 years old this year, right...... Alas, it's all because of the foolish brother that you haven't married a wife and had children until now, if my uncle knew about it, he would probably scold me to death, right? ”

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed at herself, then patted Akechi Sumitsu's shoulder and smiled, "Say, which girl is it?" As long as it's not the princess's daughter, the other brothers will try their best to help you make it happen! ”

"This ......" Wise Hide's mouth grew and he looked at Wise Mitsuhide with a sad expression, he couldn't have imagined that things would develop like this. I'm obviously here to persuade my brother, why am I being forced to marry now? Aye-so howled in his heart.

As one of Oda Yoshinobu's fans, Akechi Hidemitsu also likes to linger among the flowers, and he hasn't had much thought about getting married. Well, the main thing is that this guy has always felt that if he gets married, it will be difficult for him to be so free in the future. Actually, this is not an exception, for example, Keiji Maeda, who is under the command of Oda Yoshinobu, is also the lord who has not been married until now.

Seeing this, Wise Xiuman hurriedly turned his head to look at Xizi, hoping that his sister-in-law could save him from the sea of suffering. It's a pity that when Xizi heard Akechi Mitsuhide's words, she jumped straight back, "Xiuman, your brother is right!" You are also a big man, if you don't get married and have children early, how can you be worthy of your father? ”

started talking, and the brother and sister-in-law immediately chatted around Wise Xiuman, but Wise Xiuman couldn't cry, "Who am I messing with?!" ”

In the end, Wise Mitsuhide saw that Wise Suman didn't seem to have a crush on any girl, and said directly, "That's it, Xizi, you are a woman, and you are better at this, help Xiuman pick it." After choosing, I will be responsible for the door-to-door proposal. ”

"Don't worry, husband, I will definitely find the best wife for Xiuman, lest he go out to drink flower wine every day." Xizijiao smiled, where is the sad face before.

It's not that Heeko forgot the original purpose, it's just that from the conversation between Akechi Mitsuhide and Akechi Shumitsu, he suddenly found that his husband no longer had the same confusion as before. Since this is the case, she naturally won't let Wise Xiuman help persuade her anymore. Although she didn't know what Akechi Mitsuhide had figured it out, but since she had figured it out, it was better to let it go straight over.

As a result, Wise Hideman was sold so simply. Poor him, until he was in bed, he didn't understand why his dear sister-in-law suddenly jumped back. Of course, he is more nostalgic and farewell to his beautiful past, because he can see that his brother and sister-in-law are really playing this time.

The next day, Akechi Mitsuhide went out early in the morning, wasting a few days of time, and Akechi Mitsuhide was going to make up for them all today! Although his dreams and ambitions are still unsettled, Akechi Mitsuhide has decided to do the things in front of him first.

"Lord Akabei is right, if you can't even do the things in front of you, what qualifications do you have to think about the future?" Akechi Mitsuhide thought to himself, "Why don't you set a small goal and become the head of your family first, and then think about the future!" (To be continued.) )
