Chapter Forty-Seven: Mino Comes
"Huh? Let me participate in Sobei's Yuanfu ceremony? Yamada Masamura looked at Maeda Toshiya with a strange expression, and the expression was obviously asking, "You kid has nothing wrong with his head, right?" ”
Generally speaking, Yuanfu is a kind of thing, and generally only people who are close to him will participate. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Sobei is a member of the Maeda family, and in addition to the Maeda family, at most those relatives and friends participated. And now they are looking for their own unrelated people to participate...... Well, although Yamada Masamura did plan to accept Sobei as a retainer, and Sobei also verbally agreed to send him to visit Maeda Toshimasa in person. But haven't you gone yet? Why did Maeda Toshimasa know? Yamada Masamura doesn't think it's because he is too famous, Maeda Toshimasa wants to make himself the ebony pro of Sobei.
Yamada Masamura thought strangely, and then saw Maeda Toshiie's face, "Are you very confused?" I know the truth! Come and ask me", and suddenly guessed a few points in his heart, "Inuchiyo, this time it's thanks to you~" Yamada Masamura thanked in a low voice.
Although he didn't know what Maeda Toshiya had done specifically, it was obvious that he had done a lot, otherwise Maeda Toshimasa would not have been able to release kindness so easily. may be a little disdainful, but Yamada Masamura definitely did not underestimate the prejudice against his origin in this era.
Although he was a little unhappy and Yamada Masamura guessed the truth at once, in the face of Yamada Masamura's gratitude, Maeda Toshiya was still very comfortable to use. "Hmph, it's good that you kid know, remember to repay me!" Maeda Toshi's family looks like a brother who is settling accounts.
"Okay~ When I go to battle next time, I'll give you a few heads~" Yamada Masamura said with a smile, which immediately made Maeda Toshiya depressed. In the last war, the number of heads of the Maeda Toshiya family was close to that of Yamada Masamura, and even Uchizosuke couldn't compare. Well, it's mainly because of the latter, which makes Maeda Toshiya, who has always regarded Uchizosuke as his lifelong enemy, very, very dissatisfied.
After chatting for a while, explaining some things about the Maeda family, and telling them not to care about some people's gossip at that time, Maeda Toshiya carried two bottles of iced wine and prepared to flash out. Well, since there was such a thing as an ice cellar, Oda Nobunaga and the others have all fallen in love with chilled drinks. As for whether these wines are really suitable for ice ...... Who cares?
"Oh~ By the way, remember to thank the lord~ If it weren't for his letter, I'm afraid my dad wouldn't have agreed so easily." Walking to the door, Maeda Toshiya looked back and said as if he had just thought of it suddenly.
"Kichibo-sei?" Yamada Masamura thought a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, it was reasonable. If Oda Nobunaga hadn't come forward, it would have been impossible for Maeda Toshimasa to decide to release him so simply by relying on the persuasion of the Maeda Toshima family alone.
Wasteland City, Sohei's Yuanfu ceremony is actually very simple, after all, the Maeda family is just a small wealthy family in Owari, and Sobei is just the adopted son of the eldest son of the Maeda family's governor. It's just that I don't know what the reason is, there are many more people participating in this Yuan Fu ceremony.
"Yamada-sama!"
"Huh? Who are you? Yamada Masamura looked at a big man in front of him suspiciously, with a rough face and extraordinary height, no matter how you look at it, he is an absolute fierce general, logically speaking, as long as this kind of person has seen it once, it is absolutely impossible to forget. But Yamada Masamura searched his mind, and he didn't remember seeing such a person.
"Hehe~ His name is Takigawa Yishige, and he is Takigawa Yiyi's cousin. However, I've been in charge of the research and training of iron cannons for a long time, so this is the first time I've met Yamada-sama. Takigawa said with a smile.
Takigawa Kazuki, the general of the Oda family, the former Koga ninja, is proficient in iron artillery, and is an all-round talent with strong strategy, martial arts, and training ability. After becoming a retainer of Oda Nobunaga, he has been in charge of the training and research of iron cannons, and his promotion speed is faster than that of Yamada Masamura.
"It turned out to be the cousin of Lord Takigawa~ You also came to participate in this ceremony?" Thinking of Takigawa Kazuyi's information, Yamada Masamura was even more puzzled. He couldn't have guessed what a member of the Maeda family, Yuanfu, and the people of the Takigawa family were doing here.
"Haha~ It's not because of Sobei's business~ Yamada-sama doesn't know, Sobei is actually my child......" Takigawa Masadai said with a smile, but the content of his words shocked Yamada Masamura half to death.
"Nima, Keiji Maeda turned out to be the son of this kid? No wonder ...... "Yamada Masamura figured out a lot of things in an instant." That's why Oda Nobunaga interfered in the internal affairs of the Maeda family, preferring to abolish most of the Maeda family rather than let Maeda Keiji become the family governor. The reason is because Keiji Maeda is actually a member of the Takigawa family. No matter what the era, the marriage between important ministers was always feared by the monarch.
The two chatted casually, and the relationship was as if they had been brothers for many years, and Takigawa Mashige's attitude aside, Yamada Masamura's purpose in doing this was very simple. After all, if someone's original son wants to become his own retainer, he has to give others a little face, right?
After the Motofu ceremony, Sobei changed his name to Keiji Maeda and officially became a samurai. This name was naturally proposed by Yamada Masamura, although Maeda Toshihisa and Takigawa Mashige had already thought of the name Maeda Interests a long time ago, but when they saw Yamada Masamura mention it, they didn't speak, it was just a name.
The next day, Maeda Toshimasa, Yamada Masamura, and Maeda Keiji found Oda Nobunaga, and Maeda Keiji officially became a retainer of Yamada Masamura. In this regard, Yamada Masamura is naturally beautiful, how to say, Maeda Keiji is also one of the samurai he liked very much in his previous life.
The days that followed weren't too different, except that there was an extra period of time every day to accompany Keiji Maeda. Of course, every time Yamada Masamura won easily.
Yamada Masamura didn't tell Keiji Maeda any secrets or techniques, because he himself didn't understand these at all, who let his skills get out of thin air? However, this did not prevent him from passing on some experience to Keiji Maeda.
"Keiji, I won't teach you much about martial arts, because I believe you can go out of your own way. So I'm just going to keep competing with you, and it's up to you how much you can get out of it. ”
"In addition, a good samurai must not only know martial arts, what is the difference between that and a reckless man? You also have to learn etiquette, tea ceremony, ninjutsu, swordsmanship, and military training......"
And, while you've always thought you've been a wonderful, your taste in dressing really doesn't deserve to be complimented. The one who is curious is to take a different path from others, not to follow the path of a fool. ”
"In addition, if you want to be like me, your womanhood must be better! Look at me! Look at you again! ”
Yamada Masamura pointed casually, and Keiji Maeda wrote it down with a serious face. Out of admiration for Yamada Masamura, Maeda Keiji took whatever Yamada Masamura said as the truth. And the reason why this is the case is only because Keiji Maeda really admires Yamada Masamura's martial arts too much. It's just, is it really okay for this kid to educate Keiji Maeda like this?
In April, winter turns to spring, and the warm spring breeze brings a touch of turmoil to people's hearts.
Egret Hill Castle. At this time, Saito Michizo officially gave up the position of family governor to the 26-year-old Saito Yoshiryu, and went to Sagiyama Castle to live a secluded life. Of course, it's okay to listen to this kind of thing, how can a pit viper really live in seclusion? In fact, this era always likes to do this kind of thing, giving up the position of family governor to his son, and staying behind the scenes to direct the overall situation. The benefits are obvious, training the new governor through small things, there are really big things, and there are old people who carry them.
In the garden, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and Michizo Saito casually folded off one of them, "What a beautiful cherry blossom...... If you think about it, it's been 4 years since Guidie married Owari, right? ”
"Yes, my lord, this year is the fourth year." Akechi Mitsuhide knelt down in the corridor of the mansion behind him and answered respectfully.
"It's been 4 years...... Saito Michizo sighed, and suddenly turned around and complained loudly to Akechi Mitsuhide, "Mitsuhide! You said that Gui Die's girl is not too much! It's been 4 years, but she still only sends two or three letters a year! This is simply too much! You know, how much I doted on her back then! Saito Michizo chattered endlessly, looking like a lonely old man's sad urge.
Opening his mouth, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't know how to comfort the old man who missed his daughter, although he felt in his heart that three or four letters a year was very, very much, because he hadn't received any of them. Uh, this kid......
"No! It can't go on like this! I want to see Nobunaga! I want to meet that fool! It must have been that fool who wouldn't let Gui Die write me more letters! Michizo Saito yelled excitedly, as if this was such an important thing.
Although Akechi Mitsuhide persuaded him, Michizo Saito, who had already made up his mind, obviously would not retract his idea.
Nakono Castle.
Saito Michizo's former friend, now he also sits respectfully under the retainer Akabei who lives in seclusion with Saito Michizo. In front of him, there is a gift brought by Saito Michisan. A rush of footsteps sounded, and the Red Soldier Guard hurriedly lowered his head. After hearing the sound of taking a seat, the Red Soldier Guard slowly raised his head, and then he was startled.
Well, although Oda Nobunaga has accepted a lot of temperament at the suggestion of Yamada Masamura, his taste in dressing has also been brought into the point of no return in fashion by Yamada Masamura. Well, does Masamura Yamada understand fashion? I don't understand, but he deeply understands that fashion is meant to be incomprehensible, so Oda Nobunaga's outfit also made the Red Soldiers unable to understand.
However, after all, the Red Soldier Guard is an old fritter who has been in the Warring States for many years, so he immediately gathered his mind and said respectfully, "Your father-in-law, the lord Saito Michizo, who is below, has been sent to give a gift!" Cherry blossoms in Sagiyama Castle that have just bloomed! "Well, take a closer look, isn't it the one that Michizo Saito broke off earlier?
