"Lord Bell Roll, Lord Wind Demon, if you have time, how about we go have a drink?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the four people who were about to leave and smiled.
Hearing this, Kanamaki Zisai and Wind Demon Kotaro glanced at each other, and then replied respectfully, "Oda-sama invites me, and I feel honored to be inferior!" ”
"Hehe, then let's go~" Oda Yoshinobu said with a smile.
After arriving at Oda Yoshinobu's mansion, although the food and drinks were in front of him, Kanamaki Zisai and Kazema Kotaro did not eat much. It's not that they're worried about Oda Yoshinobu's poisoning, it's that they can't guess Oda Yoshinobu's intentions in summoning them.
Hawkers, if they are strong people who simply come to participate in the martial arts competition, they naturally don't have to worry about anything. But the two of them, Kanamaki Zisai is the Hojo family's art of war instructor, and the wind demon Kotaro is the leader of the wind demons. Especially the wind demon Kotaro, isn't the ninja responsible for the investigation of intelligence?
In fact, Wind Demon Kotaro did find out a lot of news, so it's strange that he didn't worry about it.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Oda Yoshinobu suddenly smiled and said, "You two don't need to be so nervous, I want to ask first, which of you can be the head of the Hojo family this time?" ”
Hearing this, the two of them were stunned for a moment, but then they understood what Oda Yoshinobu meant, this is to discuss something with the Hojo family!
"If Oda-sama wants to discuss something important with the family, then unfortunately, the family did not have a principal this time." "But if Oda-sama wants to inform the family about something, then I can help spread the word." ”
Tsukahara Buden is the Hojo family's art of war instructor, although it is only the position of teaching the Hojo family's governor and retainers swordsmanship, but in fact, many of the art of war instructors have a very high status in the daimyo family, and even many daimyo will ask for advice on the art of war to guide the family's policy. Among them, the most famous is probably the old brother of Yanagi Zongju, right?
Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu chuckled and said, "Actually~ It's not a big deal, I just want you to help bring a message and greet His Royal Highness Hojo for my family." After all, the family would like to have some cooperation with the Hojo family~"
Hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Kanamaki Zisai and Kazema Kotaro suddenly remembered the rumors about the relationship between the Oda family and the Takeda family, as well as the news that Hayakawa had told them the other day.
After glancing at each other, Wind Demon Kotaro nodded slightly, and then Zhong Maki said in a deep voice, "Please rest assured, Lord Oda, your greetings will definitely be conveyed in the future." ”
For the Hojo family, being good friends with the Oda family is absolutely beneficial and harmless. Of course, neither of them is stupid people, and it is impossible to believe that the Oda family will not do anything harmful to the Hojo family just by relying on Oda Yoshinobu's words. After all, the wind demon Kotaro knows very well that Satake Yoshishige was summoned by Oda Yoshinobu some time ago, and then he was introduced to Oda Nobunaga.
Who is Yoshishige Satake? That's the current governor of the Satake family! And the Satake family has a very big appeal in the entire Kanto! Satake Yoshige visited Oda Nobunaga and said something, and the two of them naturally didn't know, but just thinking about it, they could guess a rough idea.
But after all, they are just retainers, and no matter what the facts of this kind of thing are, it is still up to the Hojo clan to judge it themselves.
And Oda Yoshinobu also knew that they couldn't believe that the Oda family would not be bad for the Hojo family with his own words, but he didn't care about it. After all, the distance between the Oda family and the Hojo family is still relatively far away, and at least in a short period of time, it is impossible for the two strengths to meet together.
Therefore, Oda Yoshinobu said a few more words of compliment to the Hojo family, and introduced the topic to the two disciples of Kanamaki Zisai.
"I see that the two disciples of Lord Zhong Juan, one already has good strength, and the other is also extremely talented, right? I remember that today in the rest area, Toda-sama can be said to like the two of them very much~"
"Haha~ Lord Oda has won the award, these two disciples are very stupid, where can they be praised by Lord Oda like this?" Kanamaki laughed and laughed, but the smug look on his face clearly showed that he was very useful to Oda Yoshinobu's words.
"Hehe, child~ It's just to boast~ If the two disciples of Lord Zhongjuan are going to travel, remember to come to me first~" Oda Yoshinobu smiled.
"That's nature, there are countless strong people in, and they have traveled all over the world, and this place must be the first stop!" Zhong Juan said in a deep voice when he heard this.
The next day, the round of 16 officially began. Although I watched the competition for a day yesterday, today, the mood of the civilians is still high, after all, for them, this kind of feast is really unprecedented, they will only feel that it is not enough, where will they feel too much?
However, the Emperor Shokincho and those ministers were not as enthusiastic today as they were yesterday, but they kept chatting with Oda Nobunaga, and by the way, they finalized many tea parties, song parties, poetry parties, eagle hunting and other programs. Well, to sum it up, it's asking for money.
Emperor Masaki was not stupid, he knew very well that Oda Nobunaga was so good to the imperial court, wasn't it because his concern with the shogunate or with Ashikaga Yoshiaki had fallen to the freezing point? In that case, how long will you stay if you don't open your mouth at this time? However, Emperor Shokincho didn't really ask for a sky-high price, after all, he didn't want the imperial court to be inferior to the shogunate's footsteps.
Perhaps this would make it meaningless for the Oda family to do so, but Emperor Shokincho wasn't sure if Oda Nobunaga would do such a thing. After all, compared with the strength of those Shangluo in the past, the Oda family is too different.
And for the request of the Emperor Masakimachi, Oda Nobunaga did not agree to all of them, not that he couldn't take out the money, in fact, for the Oda family at this time, the money in the mouth of the Emperor Masakimachi was really not worth mentioning. But as the saying goes, no matter how honest a person is, if you keep giving to him, he will gradually ask for more.
So Oda Nobunaga agreed to some of them, and at the same time proposed some things that the imperial court could easily do. It not only gave the emperor face, but also reminded them subtly. Naturally, Emperor Shokincho would not fail to see this, but even so, he was still satisfied.
Well, His Majesty the Emperor is so easy to satisfy~ I really hope that Ashikaga Yoshiaki-san can study hard. Oh, and by the way, except for the parade on the first day, Ashikaga Yoshiaki-san, has been imprisoned...... Ahem! I stayed in Nijo Castle. All subsequent events were attended by Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Emperor Shokincho was well aware of this, but he ignored it outright, and even from the beginning of the parade to the present, he did not say a word to anyone in the shogunate. I have to say that this Masamicho emperor is really good at currying favor with Oda Nobunaga. Perhaps, this is forced by the environment, right? Who has made the royal family poor for three generations? After living a prosperous life, who wants to go back to the past?
On the stage, Maeda Toshiya looked at Oda Yoshinobu with a bitter expression, he was worried about how to defeat Sasa Narumasa, but completely forgot that the winner among them was going to compete with Oda Yoshinobu. For this childhood playmate who can't even see his back, Maeda Toshiya only has endless shadows in his heart.
"What's wrong? Dogs? That cowering look doesn't look like you at all! Oda Yoshinobu smiled strangely when he saw this.
"Phew! Who cringe? I'm just wondering where to wait! Maeda Toshiya said unhappily.
"Yo, what? I don't think I can do it before I fight? This is not the heart of a strong man~" Oda Yoshinobu sneered again when he heard this.
"Humph! Self-confidence is naturally something that a strong person should have, but that's when he competes with humans! Hearing this, Maeda Toshiya looked at Oda Yoshinobu with disdain and said, "And fight monsters?" Whether I have self-confidence or not does not affect the fact that I am a strong person at all! ”
"Huh? Who do you say is a monster? Oda Yoshinobu heard this, waved his halberd, and looked at Maeda Toshiya with an unkind face.
"Who else?" Maeda Toshiya didn't seem to see it, and still said to himself, "This family is the only monster like you, okay?" ”
"Good! Dog, you kid seems to be fat! Isn't it been too long since I taught you a lesson?! Oda Yoshinobu said, and as soon as he swung his god-killing halberd, he was ready to teach this bastard who had forgotten his fears back then.
Just seeing Oda Yoshinobu's appearance, Maeda Toshiie just smiled very obscenely, and then threw away the spear and shouted, "I admit defeat!" ”
"I rub!?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Maeda Toshiya dumbfounded, "Why did you bastard admit defeat?" I thought of hundreds of ways to abuse you yesterday!! ”
"Cut, if you don't admit defeat, isn't it ...... by you" Maeda Toshiya was just about to say something, but suddenly came back to his senses, "I'll wipe it!" Bastard Yoshinobu, you guys are so vicious?! ”
"What are they doing?" The audience watched the two idiots on the stage arguing over there, looking confused.
In the rest area, Oda Nobunaga covered his face helplessly and lowered his head, obviously not wanting to admit that the two guys on the stage were his retainers. After all, it's a shame.
