Kiyoshu Castle, Oda Nobunaga's residence, Yamada Masamura and Oda Nobunaga were staring at each other with wide eyes at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Staring ......"

"Staring ......"

"Staring ......"

"Staring ......"

"Bastard Overlord Maru! Aren't you kid going on a trip? What are you doing here?! Oda Nobunaga was the first to resist the defeat and shouted angrily.

"I'm going out on a trip...... Yamada replied, pouting.

"In that case, what are you still doing here?!" A large tic-tac-toe appeared on Oda Nobunaga's forehead.

"Of course I'm here to get the money......" Yamada Masamura said with a look of course, and the gesture of asking for money that had been posing for money stopped in mid-air like a mountain.

"Bastard! Why do you kid go out and ask me to get you money! "Oda Nobunaga is a little crazy, he naturally can't be short of this money, but Yamada Masamura's annual income is quite not low, and there are no clansmen to raise, how can Oda Nobunaga be willing to give him money in this case?

Well, the main thing is that Yamada Masamura's gesture of asking for money is too cheap.

"What can you say about going out to play?" Yamada Masamura was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "I'm going out to study!" For the sake of the family, we will work hard to improve our own abilities! As the lord, should he support the idea of retainers? ”

"Even so......" Oda Nobunaga was a little stunned when he saw that Yamada Masamura was so arrogant, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yamada Masamura.

"Even if the retainer has his own income, but as the lord, in order to support the retainer's idea, should he come up with something practical? In this way, the retainers can be grateful to Dade, and at the same time, it will also show that the lord attaches great importance to talents......"

Yamada Masamura Balabala kept saying all kinds of reasons, anyway, just one sentence, you don't give me a stop. In the end, it was really impossible, and Oda Nobunaga had to pay the money.

Mino ......

"My lord, are we really going to visit Saito-sama? Will he meet us? Maeda Keiji had a look of ink on his face that looked like a star chaser, which really made Yamada Masamura regret bringing this kid out. Why didn't he find out before, this kid is so annoying?

However, this also has a benefit, at least Yamada Masamura, who originally wanted to enjoy the mountains and rivers, sped up his pace and came to Lushan Castle in two days. Belch? Didn't this kid decide to travel in the first place to improve himself? Why did it turn into a tour of the mountains and rivers in an instant? It seems that the old saying is really fulfilled, dogs can't change eating.

Sagiyama Castle, where Michizo Saito has been living in seclusion since he gave up the position of governor to Yoshiryu Saito. handed over the post, Yamada Masamura waited quietly outside, and Maeda Keiji was also honest, because on the way Yamada Masamura had already warned him that if he lost the face of the Oda family, let him go back to Cheongju alone.

Soon, someone took Yamada Masamura and others in, and accompanied them all the way to an elegant mansion. In the middle of the mansion, Saito Michizo was sitting there talking to the Red Soldier Guard, with a smile on his face. On the side, a young man was concentrating on making tea.

"My lord, Yamada-sama brought it." The servant said respectfully, and then went down.

"I've seen Saito-sama!" Yamada Masamura respectfully bowed and said, "This is the letter that Mrs. Nohime brought with you. Yamada Masamura took out the letter written by Nohime from his bosom and handed it over.

On the side, the Red Soldier Guard took the letter and handed it to Saito Michizo, and Saito Michizo was not hypocritical, so he opened it and looked at it. After a long time, Saito Michizo put down the letter and muttered unhappily, "This girl, even if she gets married, she can't be so oriented to outsiders, right?" ”

After a pause, Saito Michizo suddenly stood up, walked to Yamada Masamura and squatted down, looked at Yamada Masamura and said lightly, "I remember you, when I was in Zhengde Temple, you also helped Gui Die bring me a message." Saying that, Saito Michizo suddenly changed his face, and said with a smile, "Although I don't know why you kid is so valued by Gui Die, but since Gui Die said that you are your own person, then you are your own person~ come!" Sit! ”

"Uh......" Yamada Masamura looked at Saito Michizo stupidly, completely unable to understand where the old man turned on the switch wrongly, why he suddenly seemed to be a different person.

"Lord, if you suddenly say that, it will scare Yamada-sama~" A laughing voice came from the side, but it was Red Soldier.

"Huh? Is it? Will this kid still be scared? He dared to come to me when he was alone! Michizo Saito seemed to like Yamada Masamura and patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Just when Yamada Masamura didn't know what to do, a flat voice solved him. "Lord, please drink tea."

"Haha~ Okay! Let me see if Guangxiu has made any progress in your tea art! Michizo Saito smiled, and then returned to his place.

"Yamada-sama, please use tea."

"Oh, good!" Yamada Masamura took the tea bowl in a bit of a panic, glanced at the person in front of him, and saw Akechi Mitsuhide looking at him with a smile on his face. For some reason, Yamada Masamura actually felt that he had developed a sense of closeness to Akechi Mitsuhide. This shocked Yamada Masamura, you must know that he did not like the words of Akechi Mitsuhide.

A bowl of tea, drinking tasteless, in fact, Yamada Masamura would not have drunk tea. Then, Michizo Saito finally got down to business. "It was mentioned in Guidie's letter that you did not have a specific goal for this trip. Although I can't teach you anything like a teacher, since Gui Die said it, if you have any confusion, you might as well talk about it. ”

For the next few days, Yamada Masamura stayed at Sagiyama Castle. It's just that although he can't teach him anything, Saito Michizo still can't help but teach Yamada Masamura a lot of things, such as the way of military training, such as the way of strategy, and even the way of governing the country taught him a lot. By the way, Keiji Maeda and Yukihisa Shiraki also benefited a lot.

At the same time, Yamada Masamura's relationship with Akechi Mitsuhide has made great progress. Well, Yamada Masamura does hate the wise Mitsuhide in history very, very much, but this man who wears an aura of closeness every time he appears really makes Yamada Masamura hate it.

"Mitsuhide, I found that you kid is a perfect samurai. Calm, resolute, intelligent, good martial arts, understands internal affairs, and can fight......" Yamada Masamura folded his hands and counted the merits of Akechi Mitsuhide, and finally he found out that this man was simply excellent and maddening. And what made Yamada Masamura even more unacceptable was that he didn't find the shortcomings of Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Masamura, you have a good reputation, everyone has his strengths, such as you, even if you say that I have more advantages, but whether it is in personal competitions or battlefield killing, I can't be your opponent......" Akechi Mitsuhide smiled modestly.

In Sagiyama Castle, Yamada Masamura stayed for about 1 week and left. Four days later, the three of them came to Myokakuji Temple in Kyoto. This is the place that Saito Michizo recommended to Yamada Masamura before his departure, and it is also the place where he used to practice.

After having a letter of recommendation from Michizo Saito, the three of them went directly to Myokakuji Temple. It has to be said that in this day and age, if you want to learn something, then the monastery is definitely the best choice, because here, you will find a large collection of books of all kinds, and every monk seems to be a master of both civil and military affairs.

Well, that's an exaggeration, but temples have always played the role of private schools in this era. Because it is one of the Three Treasures, the flames of war never affect the temple, which also makes most of the classics that have been handed down in the past are stored in the temple. Isn't there a saying that says? Books are the source of knowledge, even monks can't recite Buddhist scriptures every day, right?

By the way, Yamada Masamura harvested a third retainer during this period, a kid named Shimasa. It's also interesting to say, one day Yamada Masamura sneaked out to have a tooth festival, and when he came back, he saw Shimazuo near the temple pleading bitterly, hoping to enter the temple to learn knowledge.

The result was naturally rejected, after all, the monastery is not a charity school, and not everyone can enter the monastery to study. Generally speaking, only those who have been recommended or the sons of certain daimyo or family governors are eligible to enter the temple to study. Well, to put it bluntly, it doesn't matter, or it doesn't matter.

Seeing this situation, Yamada Masamura, who was so idle, came up, and after a while, obtained the other party's name. Well, the island is near, so are there any questions? Anyway, Yamada Masamura has been here for so long, and he hasn't found the problem of duplicate names. Therefore, he proposed to accept the island as a retainer, so that he could enter the temple to study.

It's just that, in the face of the benefits of Yamada Masamura's door-to-door, Shimazuo Jin hesitated. That's right, it's just hesitation, the dignified samurai wants to accept a little ghost in his 10s as a retainer, and this little ghost actually hesitates.

But who is Masamura Yamada? It was an absolutely shameless existence, and under some intimidation and deception, Shimazuo, who had not seen much of the world, obediently entered the bowl of Yamada Masamura.

After that, the martial arts shown by Yamada Masamura made the young and ignorant Shimasaku gradually accept his current identity. Belch...... Well, youth and ignorance are a good word.

The study at Myokakuji Temple lasted for almost 4 months. I don't know if it's because of Saito Michizo's recommendation, but the host of Myokakuji Temple is really doing his best to teach Yamada Masamura and others. Although this kid Yamada Masamura doesn't know what he's learned, Keiji Maeda and others have improved a lot. Belch...... Is this the purpose of Yamada Masamura?

When he left Myokakuji Temple, it was already summer, but Yamada Masamura still had no intention of returning to Cheongju.

"Since it's a public-funded study, how can you go back without spending all the money?!" Yamada Masamura made such a shameless statement, and then led everyone to Kaimachi. Well, is he planning a last-ditch shopping trip?
