Chapter 17: The arson incident in Cheongju City

In the Cheongju Castle Division, the place that was originally used for deliberations was bustling with activity at this time, and all the retainers of the Cheongju Oda family gathered here to rejoice in the family's final advantage over the Koto Oda family. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWell, it's no wonder they're so excited, it's really that the Cheongju Oda family has been lonely for too long. Since the rise of Oda Nobuhide, the Oda family in Kiyoshu has almost completely disappeared from the eyes of the world, and even those townspeople in Kiyoshu Town talk about where Oda Nobuhide attacked and what victories he has won every day, and even looks very proud of himself.

This kind of thing is an honor for the people of the Gudu Oda family, but it is a shame for the people of the Oda family in Cheongju. And now, they've finally got the edge! Although they didn't play a role in this, that didn't stop them from being happy about it.

Even that Sakai Daizen-san-classmate was very drunk. Hawkers, although in his opinion, the threat of the Guto Oda family has not been completely eliminated, but he believes that with his strength, he will be able to completely defeat Oda Nobuhide and let the Kiyoshu Oda family rule the four prefectures of Owari again!

Time flies under the lively banquet, and before you notice it, it is already dark. By this time, everyone had almost drunk, but the high spirits made them have no idea of stopping the banquet at all.

"My lord, a few days ago, a wandering juggling troupe came to Cheongju Town, and my subordinates watched it and thought it was very interesting, so they brought them here, do you want to summon them?" A retainer suddenly stood up and said.

"Oh? Juggling troupe? Quick, recruit them in! Oda Nobutomo urged excitedly. As I said before, in this era, entertainment programs are really pitiful, so wandering groups or individual artists like juggling troupes, as long as they pass through a certain town, they will be invited by local daimyo and wealthy families to perform.

"Yes!" The retainer triumphantly went down, then walked to a nearby room, and warned the jugglers inside, "The lord has agreed to summon you, remember!" Give me a good show, and if you make your lord unhappy, watch your heads! "Well, he hopes that this juggling troupe will allow him to show his face in front of Oda Nobutomo, and according to tradition, if the lord opens his mind to bring a retainer from a juggling troupe, the retainer will be rewarded a lot, and if he messes up...... Hehe, then the consequences for this retainer will be miserable.

"Don't worry, sir!" A man wearing a mask with a monkey squatting on his body said respectfully. Well, this kid is Oda Nobunaga's dress.

"Hmmm! Come with me! The retainer nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes." Oda Nobunaga replied respectfully, then stood up, and the group of masked guys around him also picked up the guys and prepared to follow.

"Hey, who is this? You didn't seem to see him in your show before, huh? The retainer suddenly pointed to a sturdy man with a hat on his head, a mask on his face, and a white cloak covering his whole body at the back.

"Hehe, my lord, this is the repertoire of our group, and it is only performed for daimyo or high rollers~" Oda Nobunaga said with a chuckle, and then gave the man in white a smiling face.

"Oh? Then I'm looking forward to it~" When the retainer heard this, he didn't ask much, but just showed a surprised expression.

Soon, the crowd came to the banquet room and began to perform. The wonderful monkey show and funny juggling made Oda Nobutomo and others very happy. Just as they were finishing their performance, Oda Nobunaga laughed and was about to give a reward, Oda Nobunaga suddenly walked out and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Highness, for summoning us and others, and hereby the pillars of this troupe will present you with a reserved program!" ”

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they had also heard of this kind of reserved program, which was basically the best program of various wandering performance troupes, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see it.

As the venue cleared, the man in white from before slowly walked out, and as soon as he appeared, everyone's curiosity was aroused. No way, who let this guy wrap himself too tightly? Nothing can be seen.

The small drum was beating slowly, Oda Nobunaga himself beat the drum, and with the drum beating, the man in white pulled out a folding fan from his sleeve and performed, performing the famous "Dunsheng" in the Noh play, fortunately.

The dancing is so beautiful, and the singing is so moving, that Oda Nobuyo and others are completely fascinated by it. And halfway through the song, the man in white suddenly threw off his hat, took off his mask, and untied his cloak. Well...... It's not like a striptease.

"Huh? It turned out to be a woman? ”

"Oh my God, there is such a beautiful woman in the world?"

Everyone was amazed, and Oda Nobutomo had his eyes wide open and his mouth open, not noticing the low saliva.

I saw the people in the field, with long black and smooth hair, delicate and beautiful faces, and white kimonos, attracting everyone's attention with their wonderful dancing and singing.

It wasn't until the end of the performance that everyone still didn't react, and it was Oda Nobunaga who stepped forward to remind him, and everyone applauded.

"Good! Good! Good! That's great! Oda Nobuyo praised loudly, and after praising it, Oda Nobuyo suddenly stood up and walked in front of the beauty, and said with a ** smile, "It's really a peerless beauty, be my concubine, I will pamper your ......" said, stretched out his fat hand and touched the beauty's pretty face.

It's just that before she could touch it, a short knife appeared in her hand on the beauty's wrist, and before everyone could react, it was already on Oda Nobuyo's neck.

"Bastard Yoshi-sama! Lao Tzu won't accompany you anymore! The beautiful man shouted at Oda Nobunaga, who was in a hurry, and even called Oda Nobunaga's young name?!

"Cut, it's clear that the show has just begun~" Oda Nobunaga complained with pity, and then took off his mask to reveal his face, along with the iron cannon hidden in his clothes.

Seeing this, the others also took off their masks, but it was Inuchiyo and them, and similarly, they all had iron cannons in their hands. Well? Why is there no overlord pill that kid?

"But don't say it, this kid of Overlord Maru is still dancing so well, and even the waka is sung beautifully......" Inuchiyo said with a look of intoxication.

"Yes, if you have a chance in the future, you can perform it a few more times~" Everyone kept echoing.

"You bastards! If you want to die, just say it! Overlord Maru glared at them viciously, if his eyes could kill, they would have died countless times. Well, the beauty is dressed as an overlord pill, although he can't fight to the death, but unfortunately in the face of Oda Nobunaga's various threats and temptations, he finally gave in.

While everyone was noisy, the group of retainers finally reacted, and they all pulled out their swords to surround everyone, huh...... That's all. No way, although they haven't seen the iron cannon, but looking at the appearance of Oda Nobunaga and the others, it is obvious that the black stick must be a weapon, and even if Oda Nobunaga and the others did not take out a weapon, their lord was also held hostage, which made them not know what to do at all.

"Fool? Are you that fool Oda Nobunaga? Just when everyone was on guard, Inoue Heiji suddenly exclaimed, he finally recognized Oda Nobunaga.

"What? He's the fool? How did he end up here? Everyone looked at Oda Nobunaga in shock, and their minds couldn't turn around.

"Humph! It turned out to be the foolish son of Oda Nobuhide? What do you want? If the lord dies at your hands, what will happen to Oda Nobuhide, I don't think I need to say more, right? A cold snort came, but it was Sakai Daizen.

"Oh? The result? Before Oda Nobunaga could speak, Overlord Maru suddenly asked with a sneer, and with a shake of his hand, the short knife left a bloody mark on Oda Nobuntomo's neck.

"Don't kill me!! What do you want?! It's all for you! Don't kill me! Overlord Maru suddenly frightened Oda Nobutomo stupidly, he screamed loudly, and a stench came from below, this guy was so scared that he peed his pants.

"Damn! This waste! Overlord Maru threw him to the ground with a look of disgust and retreated behind Oda Nobunaga.

"Up!" Seeing this, Sakai Daizen ordered, but he pushed it back, he had never seen the iron cannon, but his feeling told him not to be on the opposite side of the iron rod.

His feelings didn't deceive him, and when the retainers rushed over with their swords, "Bang bang bang!" A series of loud noises rang out, and the first few people were instantly hit by lead bullets, and with a few screams, they fell directly to the ground and never moved again.

"What?! What kind of weapon is that? ”

"It's a demon law?!"

Seeing this, everyone immediately panicked, for the unknown, and also the ability to kill iron cannons, they have lost the psychology of resistance, after all, they are just a group of guys who only know how to slap horses.

"Humph! What a bunch of waste ......" Oda Nobunaga sneered to himself and slowly walked in front of Oda Nobuntomo.

"No...... Don't kill me! Oda Nobutomo looked at the iron cannon pointing at him in fear, and kept begging for mercy in his mouth, where is the image of a daimyo?

"Take back the order to summon Daddy!" Oda Nobunaga said in a commanding tone.

"Yes! Be! Be! Oda Nobutomo nodded hurriedly in response.

"Cut...... ...... boring" Seeing Oda Nobuntomo's wretched appearance, Oda Nobunaga spat disdainfully, turned around and walked out.

"That's leaving?" Overlord Maru blinked suspiciously, as if he didn't understand what Oda Nobunaga meant. After such a big battle, the result was to scare Oda Nobutomo and flash people?

"What else could it be? Teach them a lesson, but if you kill them, you're in big trouble. Oda Nobunaga knocked on the head of the overlord pill and said unhappily, but he remembered the incident where the overlord pill called him by his young name just now!

After Oda Nobunaga and the others left, a raging fire broke out in the castle of Kiyoshu, and along with the raging fire, there was also the roar of anger.
