Kai Huilin Temple.

Fanxiang is everywhere, in the monk's room, the three of them sit opposite each other on the futon, sitting opposite each other.

Sitting at the top is Takeda Nobuyoshi after entering the Tao, and the two people sitting at the bottom are Yamamoto Kansuke, who has already paid tribute to Shi, and his eldest son Yamamoto Kanzo.

"Kansuke, it's been eight years since Kawanakajima said goodbye." Takeda Nobuhiro spoke slowly.

Assistant Kan Yamamoto holds an arm with an empty sleeve that he lost during the Battle of Mt. Shirane.

Yamamoto Kansuke said with emotion: "Tsukiko, as early as the battle of Kawanakajima, my woodpecker tactics were recognized by Uesugi Kenshin, and I should have forgiven my sins with death and died on the battlefield, but now I can survive until now and raise my eldest son to adulthood, which is really fortunate." ”

After speaking, Kansuke Yamamoto glanced at the eldest son Yamamoto Kanzo beside him.

Yamamoto Kanzo is sixteen years old this year, and his face is still quite green, but there is a kind of determination in his eyes.

Takeda Nobuyoshi glanced at Yamamoto Kanzo's right hand and said with a smile: "Seeing that Reiko's right hand is calloused, he must be a master of swordsmanship like you." ”

Yamamoto Kansuke sighed, nodded and said: "Chaoyue Gong, sure enough, my eyes are like torches, I have Kashima's new swordsmanship, he has obtained the true inheritance, and it is not a problem to defeat ten people." ”

Takeda Nobuhiro nodded, on swordsmanship Yamamoto Kansuke is second to none in the Takeda family, but unfortunately because of the slope foot, he can't play a swordsmanship.

And since his son has been taught his swordsmanship, he is obviously very powerful.

Yamamoto Kansuke said: "In fact, in addition to swordsmanship, Inuko has also been taught me the art of war and strategy. ”

Takeda Shinshihiro thought for a while and said: "Kansuke, in this case, why don't you let your son go out of the family, with your Yamamoto's recommendation, it will not be a problem for him to serve as the flag book by the side of the lord, and when he has military exploits in the future, he can become the general of the family." ”

Yamamoto Kansuke shook his head and said, "Chaoyue Gong, I don't want the dog to be the lord of the Imperial Pavilion, but I want him to be the master of the Imperial Pavilion, but I want him to be the master of Li Xiao." ”

Takeda Shinshihiro was slightly shocked when he heard this, and pressed the rosary in his hand for a while, and suddenly asked, "Kansuke, is this what you mean, or is it what my brother means?" ”

Yamamoto Kansuke said in a deep voice: "Chaoyue Gong is in his own opinion, and he has nothing to do with the Lord of the Imperial Palace. ”

Listening to Yamamoto Kansuke's words, Takeda Shinshi slowly stood up from the futon, walked to the window, looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, and said: "My brother once said to me that before you asked him for Zhishi, you asked your brother not to reuse Li Xiao and let him not become a general on the side out of the town, right?" ”。

Yamamoto Kansuke sighed and said, "There is such a thing. ”

Takeda Shinfan's eyes turned and said, "Then you are sending your son to spy on Li Xiao through the Shishi Li Xiao, right?" ”。

Yamamoto Kansuke sighed and said: "If everything is really not hidden, I am here to ask Chaoyue Gong to speak for me, so that my eldest son can be named Li Xiao, if I ask in person, I am worried that Li Xiao will be suspicious." ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi's eyes were heavy, he pondered for a while, and said: "When I first met Li Xiao, he was just a Ming native who had just been exiled here, and when he was on Kawanaka Island, he was also the one who saved my life, and he also saved my brother on a single horse, all of which is incredible. At that time, I thought that it was just a general who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Iifu, Shanxian County, and Racecourse, and I strongly persuaded the lord to reuse it. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that he only led a hundred people into Hida, and in just a few years, he opened up more than 200,000 stone territory for his family in Hokuriku, which is that my brother and I are far inferior. Kan Zhu, or are you right, Li Xiaozhi's talent is really shocking. ”

Yamamoto Kansuke smiled slightly bitterly and said: "I once said to Lord Yuguan that Li Xiaozhi's talent is ten times better than mine, but it's a pity that he didn't listen. Although Li Xiao is not revealing his dissenting intentions at the moment, if he is not restrained and restrained, he is likely to ...... in the future."

Takeda Shinfan waved his hand and said, "Kansuke, there is no need to say any more, Li Xiao will come to Huilin Temple in a while, see his wife and children, and I can help you with this when the time comes." ”

Yamamoto Kansuke sighed and said, "Thank you so much. ”

Takeda Shinhiro shook his head and said, "Kansuke, I should be thankful for you, you are quitting the family, and you are also worried about the affairs of my Takeda family." At present, my brother's health is not as good as before, and I am worried that if he dies, there will be a big change in my family. I really hope that my brother can support it for a few more years. ”

At this time, on the mountain road of Huilin Temple. …,

Li Xiao took Shigang Yiyu and more than a dozen other relatives to accompany him and slowly went up the mountain.

Since he entrusted his eldest son to the teaching of Toraya Soyi, Li Zheng has been living in the temple, and Yumi Kohata is inseparable from his son, so he also bought a rather large house next to the temple, and most of the time he lives here.

And Yusada Kohata and his son also accompanied her sister and lived in the house.

Xinxuan is still quite lenient to Li Xiao's family, originally as the general who is out of town, his family must live in the town of Castle Town, but Xinxuan gave Li Xiao an exceptional treatment.

When the monks of the mountain gate heard that it was Li Xiao, the old man of the Takeda family, who was there in person, he did not dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly asked people to inform the abbot Kuaichuan Shaoxi, and on the other hand, he led the way for Li Xiao in front.

When Li Xiao walked halfway to the hall where Li Zheng was studying, and entered the bamboo forest in the temple, a little girl with two pigtails jumped on the ground while running, giggling and coming straight to Li Xiao's group.

This little girl was originally happy, but when she suddenly saw so many tall warriors standing in front of the temple, her face was shocked, she put her hands to her mouth, and was speechless in a daze.

Li Xiao saw that this girl, although she was only five or six years old, she was picturesque, and she grew up to be a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city.

Seeing so many people, the little girl's face was a little pale, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Li Xiao, who was the leader, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Of course, Li Xiao couldn't bear to scare a little child, and when he was about to speak, a little boy ran out of the forest path.

The little boy was holding a bamboo sword in his hand, and his face was covered with black marks, apparently smeared with black mud somewhere.

The little boy, like the little girl, was shocked to see so many people fighting.

Li Xiao's close attendants all came out of the bloody battle in the Hida Yue, and the warriors who were still alive on the battlefield had a bloody aura on their bodies, not to mention children, even ordinary people were afraid when they saw it.

The little boy's feet trembled, obviously out of fear, but he hesitated for a while, still standing in front of the little girl, and asked loudly, "I'm Gengoro of the Sanada family, who are you?" ”

Gengoro Sanada Ie?

When Li Xiao heard this name, he was immediately surprised, thinking that he was actually from the Sanada family.

Li Xiao suddenly remembered that Yumi Kohata had written to him before, saying that Sanada Masayuki had entrusted his eldest son and second son to Huilin Temple since he was a child, and the monks of the Rinzai sect took care of the professor's knowledge, so it was not strange to meet here.

Thinking of Sanada Masayuki's appearance, Li Xiaozi was not in a good mood, and said with a face: "You are Sanada Masayuki's son?" ”

This little boy heard Li Xiao say this, his face became even worse, although Sanada Masayuki is not the head of the Sanada family, but because of his appearance Takeda Katsuyori, he has performed well in several raids on Nishiueno, Suruga, and Odawara, and he is already the most optimistic rising general in the family, and he is a great general.

In the Takeda family, no one dares to underestimate.

And the person in front of him was not a few years older than his father, and in his tone, he actually looked old-fashioned, and directly called his father's name.

However, Gengoro still showed the courage of the Sanada family, and tried to say loudly: "Bold, you ...... Actually...... Dare to call my father's name. ”

Li Xiao sneered and said, "I didn't hear what you said. ”

Li Xiao repeated this question, and Gengoro immediately lowered his head, didn't say a word, and then burst into tears.

The child of the Sanada family, this is too unproductive.

Li Xiaogang thought of this, he was suddenly stunned, and glanced at the child again, he cried very loudly, but there were not many tears, where was he crying, but helping the soldiers.

Very good, the children of the Sanada family are really precocious, and they have learned to play tricks at a young age.

At this time, in the bamboo forest, two samurai wearing clogs ran out quickly, apparently hearing Sanada Masayuki's cry.

Li Xiao saw that the clothes of these two people were painted with the Liulian Qian family tattoo on their shoulders and arms, and they were obviously samurai of the Sanada family.

"Young master, who are they?"

A warrior in his twenties, with the sword on his waist, stared at Li Xiao vigilantly, but when he saw that Li Xiao's side was crowded, he was also a little nervous.

"Lord Takeuchi, I don't know, but this person dares to call his father by his name, which is obviously not good for his family."

When Gengoro saw the arrival of the samurai in his family, his heart was relieved, and he dragged the girl behind him with his hand and stepped aside. …,

"Takeuchi can't make a mistake, this is the Tajima Mamoru of the family."

The other samurai hurriedly dissuaded the other party from drawing his sword.

The other party hurriedly came to Li Xiao, bowed down and said, "Down is the Sanada family samurai Anayama Dingguang, meet Lord Tajimamo." ”

Another samurai named Takeuchi was also surprised when he heard this, hesitated for a while, and bowed down and said, "I don't know if it's Lord Tajimamori, please forgive me." ”

Shi Gang Yiyu behind Li Xiao said coldly: "Fortunately, you didn't draw your sword, otherwise one of your hands would no longer be on your shoulder." ”

After speaking, Shigang Yiyu suddenly pulled out his knife and cut off a bamboo branch beside him, and the action of pulling out the knife and retracting the knife was only in an instant.

With such a fast sword technique, the two Sanada family warriors were suddenly frightened, if this person really dared to make a move, there was no doubt that he would break his hand.

This is the little girl who has been hiding behind Gengoro walked out, walked up and down in front of Li Xiao, looked her eyes up and down, and asked curiously, "Are you my father?" ”。

Li Xiao smiled slightly, he saw that the little girl's eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yumi Kohata, and he had already guessed that the other party was his daughter.

At that moment, Li Xiao nodded slowly.

The little girl sighed softly, then lowered her head, obviously still having some recognition of Li Xiao for a while.

Li Xiao also felt a little regretful in his heart, since his daughter was born, he had never met, and in addition to blood and family, he actually did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

So at this moment, Li Xiao suddenly felt very indebted.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao was very angry with Gengoro on the other side, and shouted: "Gengoro, is there anything wrong with me calling your father directly?" ”。

This Gengoro is the historical Sanada Nobuyuki, hearing Li Xiaozhi's words, his face suddenly turned pale, this time he really cried.

PS: For the needs of the plot, in this book, Sanada Nobuyuki, Sanada Nobuyoshi will be one year older than in history, ......,
