What is the most important thing for Matsudaira Motoyasu? Right? Family? Retainers? Dignity or honor? Neither! For him, the most important thing is the Matsudaira family! As long as he can return the Matsudaira family to its heyday, he can abandon anything. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It may sound a little ruthless, but this is the mentality that a daimyo in troubled times should have. is indecisive, and in the end will only lose his own family. There are countless examples of this kind in this era, such as the poor Toki Yoriyi and Spo Yoshito.

I can abandon everything for the revival of the Matsudaira family, Matsudaira Motoyasu has always thought so, and he has always done so. But when he heard that Oda Yoshinobu had appeared in Okazaki with only three retainers, he found that he couldn't bear everything.

"This bastard! How do you underestimate your own family so much?! Hanzo! You take someone to kill him! Matsudaira Motoyasu roared angrily, but Hattori Hanzo, who had always acted directly without any hesitation to Matsudaira Motoyasu's order in the past, was still half-kneeling on the ground after hearing Matsudaira Motoyasu's order.

"Hanzo?! Didn't you hear me?! Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at Hattori Hanzo angrily, and his hideous appearance seemed to be eating people.

"My lord, please calm down......" At this moment, Sakai Tadaji on the side persuaded him, "My lord, if you send someone to attack Oda Yoshinobu, whether you succeed or not, this family and the Oda family will become mortal enemies." And the most important thing is that he may not be able to kill Oda Yoshinobu......"

"Damn!" Matsudaira shouted angrily, but finally calmed down. Indeed, as Tadaji Sakai said, once someone was sent to attack Oda Yoshinobu, then Oda Nobunaga would definitely fight to the death with the Matsudaira family. Because Oda Nobunaga's love for Oda Yoshinobu is something that all the forces that pay attention to the Oda family understand, not to mention that Matsudaira Motoyasu knows more. What's more, Hattori Hanzo and they really can't kill Oda Yoshinobu.

Hattori Hanzo has been practicing hard all these years, but his skills are comparable to those of Oda Yoshinobu...... Although Matsudaira Motoyasu didn't know whether Oda Yoshinobu's strength had improved over the years, he knew how strong Oda Yoshinobu was before, at least, he didn't think that Hattori Hanzou could beat Oda Yoshinobu.

"Alas, Tadaji, you're right, Hanzo you're doing a good job too!" Matsudaira Motoyasu said with a sigh.

"Please atone for your sins!" Hearing this, Hattori Hanzo bowed to the ground and said. Whatever the reason, he didn't follow Matsudaira Motoyasu's orders, which is a sin for ninjas.

"Hehe, don't think too much about Hanzo, I don't mean to blame you at all. If you do what I tell you to do, that's the trouble. Matsudaira Motoyasu said softly after helping Hattori Hanzo up.

"Lord ......" Hattori Hanzo heard this, and a trace of emotion appeared on his stiff face.

"You are now a samurai of the Matsudaira family, and you should make your own judgment for the future of your family" Matsudaira Motoyasu patted Hattori Hanzo's shoulder and smiled, which can be regarded as putting a break from what happened just now. "Send someone to follow them and see what they're going to do!"

It's just that as soon as Matsudaira Motoyasu's order was issued, he heard a rush of footsteps, and then he saw the little surname he had just received, Kodaira running over in a panic, "Lord, Oda Yoshinobu is outside the city, asking to see you, Lord!" ”

"What?!"

At the gate of Okazaki Castle, Oda Yoshinobu stood casually outside the door, smiling and chatting with the guards at the door, and behind him, Maeda Keiji, Shiraki Yukihisa, and Honda Tadakatsu stood behind him with a serious face. Beside him, a guard lay on the ground, already in a different place.

Well, that might explain why the Matsudaira guard was willing to accompany Oda Yoshinobu with a look of fear on his face.

"Xingjiu, do you think the lord is likely to succeed in asking Matsudaira Motoyasu so directly to get him to submit?" Keiji Maeda asked in a low voice. Although he has always hated such intrigues as politics, he is not a fool, and he thinks on his toes that such a crude method is most likely to attract a backlash from Matsudaira Motoyasu rather than a submission.

"What is the Lord's thoughts, can we guess? We just need to do our part and protect our lord from harm. Bai Mu Xingjiu said lightly.

"Cut, I knew you would say that." Keiji Maeda thought unhappily. Oda Yoshinobu who was holding a god-killing halberd and had Yagi hanging on his waist on the side, "With the strength of the lord, do you still need us to protect you?" "Keiji Maeda is clearly aware of Oda Yoshinobu's strength.

"Master, the lord is the lord after all, it is impossible to do everything himself, right?" Honda Tadakatsu, who was on the side, heard Maeda Keiji's muttering and said softly.

"Bang!"

"Ahh

"You idiot! Don't I know about this kind of thing yet? Keiji Maeda withdrew his fist, glared at Honda Tadakatsu dissatisfiedly and said, and immediately let Honda Tadakatsu, who still wanted to refute, swallow all the words into his stomach.

At this moment, the gate suddenly opened slowly, and then I saw a group of samurai of the Matsudaira family rushing out in armor and with swords, and in an instant, Oda Yoshinobu surrounded the four people.

In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu didn't even bother to move, just looked at Matsudaira Motoyasu, who was slowly walking towards him surrounded by a group of retainers. "Yuanyasu, I haven't seen you for so long, you're getting more and more timid~"

"Hehe~ Facing Owari's number one fierce general, Oda Yoshinobu, I'm afraid that no one in this world dares to be careless, right?" Matsudaira Motoyasu laughed, not paying the slightest attention to Oda Yoshinobu's taunts.

"I don't know what is the important reason for Yoshinobu-sama to come this time?" Matsudaira Motoyasu asked directly, he really didn't want to have too much contact with Oda Yoshinobu, because he was afraid that he couldn't help but be angry and do something he shouldn't do.

It's just a pity that Oda Yoshinobu obviously doesn't intend to let Matsudaira Motoyasu get his wish, "That's how you treat your old friend?" I came from Owari and didn't invite me in to sit and drink tea? Alas...... Unexpectedly, the Matsudaira family today doesn't even know the most basic etiquette. Oda Yoshinobu smiled strangely, and Matsudaira Motoyasu gritted his teeth for a while.

However, Matsudaira Motoyasu finally endured, "It's a pity that I have already broken off with you. And now the Oda family and the main family are in a state of hostility, in this case, please enter the city, I'm afraid it won't sound good to spread out~"

"Tsk, Xiaokang, what you said really makes me sad~" Oda Yoshinobu shook his head and said, how could there be a trace of sadness?

"Humph! If Yoshinobu-sama is here to talk this nonsense, then please go back! Although the opportunity is rare, I don't disdain to use such despicable means! Matsudaira Motoyasu said with a cold snort. If he could, he wanted to kill Oda Yoshinobu directly here, but when he saw the cold and shining god-killing halberd in Oda Yoshinobu's hand, his heart was cold.

"Yo, Xiaokangkang, it seems that I was wrong just now, your kid has become a lot bolder~ How dare you talk to me like this?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Matsudaira Motoyasu playfully, and mocked indifferently.

"Bastard! You are so rude to the lord?! A somewhat immature voice came, and then I saw a little surname pull out a knife and rush over.

"Koheita! Come back! Matsudaira Motoyasu hurriedly shouted, this Koheita was he recently asked for from Sakai Tadasho, and he was very optimistic about his future, but he didn't want him to die in such a boring situation.

It's just a pity that Xiao Pingtai, who is only 13 years old, has already been filled with anger in his heart at this time. He didn't have all the loyalty to Matsudaira Motoyasu, after all, he had just followed Matsudaira Motoyasu. How could he, who had wanted to be a great samurai since he was a child, endure such humiliation for his lord?

"Koheita?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Koheita who was rushing towards him, thinking in confusion in his heart, because he seemed to have heard this name somewhere. As for Koheita, who was getting closer and closer, he didn't care at all, because Honda Tadakatsu was already in front of him at this time.

is also 13 years old, but the experience of fighting made everyone dumbfounded. With just one move, Honda Tadashi had already knocked Koheita's sword flying, and then before Koheita could react, Dragonfly Cut had already been placed on his shoulder.

Yes, it's Dragonfly Cut, after getting the Killer Halberd, Oda Yoshinobu rewarded Dragonfly Cut to Maeda Keiji, after all, Shiraki Yukihisa has Muramasa, and Maeda Keiji has no magic soldiers. It wasn't long before Keiji Maeda transferred the dragonfly cut to Honda Tadakatsu, saying that he was not used to using this gun. Tsk, what a good master.

In this regard, Oda Yoshinobu naturally doesn't care, after all, Maeda Keiji is so awesome in history, and I haven't seen him have any good guns. All Zhu guns? Don't make a fuss, that thing is everywhere.

"How dare you be disrespectful to your lord?! Get on my knees! Honda Tadakatsu shouted, but where could Koheita kneel? Stared at Honda Tadakatsu, "You're going to kill me if you kind of you!" ”

It's just that before the words were finished, Xiao Pingtai felt a terrifying power coming from the dragonfly on his shoulder, and with a "poof", Xiao Pingtai instantly knelt on the ground. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.

didn't look at Koheita, Honda Tadashi just looked at the people of the Matsudaira family coldly, "Who else?!" ”

"I'm rubbing, when did this kid Zhongsheng become so domineering?!" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Honda Tadakatsu dumbfounded, and then turned his head to look at Keiji Maeda, who was also dumbfounded, but saw that he was also looking at himself with a confused face. Well, the two of them obviously couldn't figure it out, how did Honda Tadakatsu, who had always been a low-key person in Nakono Castle and couldn't beat a fart with a single rod, suddenly become like this.

Oda Yoshinobu couldn't guess it, but Honda Tadakatsu was trembling excitedly over there, "Nima! Lao Tzu was so handsome just now! I really want to see the expressions of the lord and the master, huh! Surely you're happy with my performance, right?! "Well, sullen boy.

Honda Tadakatsu's hand directly shocked the people of the Matsudaira family...... How can it be?! Xiaoping Tai is just a 13-year-old little ghost, and he doesn't even have a yuan service yet, although this kind of thing is a little surprising to everyone when he is killed with one move, how can he possibly stop them? Not to mention the subsequent provocation of Honda Tadakatsu.

"What did you say?!"

"Good boy! Want to die, huh?! ”

"How dare you provoke the Matsudaira family here?!"

Unfortunately, their scolding did not terrify Honda Tadakatsu in the slightest, because behind him, Oda Yoshinobu did not make a sound. What does this mean? It shows that Oda Yoshinobu supports himself in doing this! With his support, who is Honda Tadashi afraid of?

A group of samurai from the Matsudaira family scolded loudly, but people such as Nagasaka Nobumasa stood aside with cold faces and did not participate. As important ministers of the Matsudaira family, they think more long-term.

"Shut up!" Matsudaira Motoyasu shouted angrily, and in an instant everyone obediently closed their mouths, and looked at Matsudaira Motoyasu in unison, obviously hoping that his lord could teach Oda Yoshinobu and the others a good lesson. Well, it's the latest generation of the Matsudaira family who thinks so. They had not seen the martial prowess of Oda Yoshinobu, but had only heard of their reputation. But young people~ newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Matsudaira Motoyasu looked at Oda Yoshinobu who was standing not far away with a playful face with a cold face, and several thoughts kept circling in his mind, and finally said in a cold voice, "Yoshinobu-sama!" What exactly are you here for, let's just say it. He decided to ignore what had just happened, and although it would disappoint the young samurai, Matsudaira Motoyasu still hoped for a peaceful resolution than a conflict with Oda Yoshinobu and the others here.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just that my brother has something to tell you~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a chuckle. That relaxed expression, as if he didn't see the murderous eyes around him at all.

"Oh?" When Matsudaira Motoyasu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, "Since that's the case, then come in......" Matsudaira Motoyasu said coldly. After speaking, he left directly with the people first. Although he decided to let Oda Yoshinobu enter the city, he would not be stupid enough to get along with him in close proximity, and God knows if this man who did not play his cards according to common sense would suddenly take him hostage.

However, it's not that no one received Oda Yoshinobu, after all, if the four of them swaggered into the city like this, God knows if they would jump out and fight with them. Well, it should be said that they beat it up. Therefore, Sakai Tadaji slowly walked in front of Oda Yoshinobu.

"Yoshinobu-sama, there are three more, please come down with you~" Sakai Tadaji said respectfully.

"You're Tadaji Sakai, aren't you? He is worthy of being the number one retainer of the Matsudaira family~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a chuckle while following Sakai Tadaji.

"Yoshinobu-sama laughed......" Sakai Tadaji hurriedly denied it, joking, there are so many people next to him, how dare he admit it? Even if he has always had such ambitions in his heart.
