After a night's rest, Oda Yoshinobu went straight to Sakamoto Castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info To be honest, every time he comes here, Oda Yoshinobu can't help but feel a little pity for Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the dignified general doesn't even have a long-term base. You must know that even the back of the very miserable Ashikaga Yoshiaki, after a while, he said chicly.

However, Oda Yoshinobu can only think about this, if he really wants to help Ashikaga Yoshiteru, he has no way for the time being. If he waited until the Oda family went to Luo, he could take care of him more or less, but he might not be able to survive that time.

In about half a day, Oda Yoshinobu and his party came to Sakamoto Castle. After the doorman reported, Oda Yoshinobu saw his old acquaintance Hosokawa Fujitaka slowly walking out.

"Haha~ I haven't seen you for a long time, Oda-sama is becoming more and more dashing~" Hosokawa Fujitaka walked up to Oda Yoshinobu and said with a laugh, obviously he misunderstood something.

Coughing dryly, Oda Yoshinobu was about to explain, but suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing to explain. After all, although the two of them are their own retainers, they are indeed their own women. Well, although Lilu doesn't have an identity yet, she has already made a love with a kiss after all, right?

Therefore, Oda Yoshinobu simply didn't explain, just smiled and nodded in acknowledgement. However, in this regard, Hosokawa Fujitaka didn't dwell too much, after all, he was not such a gossip person.

"Oda-sama, do you know about the major events that have happened in recently?" On the way to Ashikaga Yoshiki's mansion, Hosokawa Fujitaka asked seemingly casually.

"Huh?" Oda Yoshinobu looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka suspiciously, and then thought for a while and said, "But the matter of the Rokkaku family and the Tayama family joining forces against the Miyoshi family?" ”

"Exactly! Miyoshi Nagakei, a traitor, acted recklessly, ignoring the authority of the shogunate, and dared to imprison Lord Hosokawa this year. Now that the Roxagonal Family and the Tayama Family are united, it is the beginning of his end! Hosokawa Fujitaka said indignantly.

Hearing this, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka with some surprise, because he was really right, from this year onwards, the Miyoshi family has indeed begun to decline, although in Oda Yoshinobu's opinion, this has nothing to do with the Rokkaku family or anything.

However, it was obviously impossible for him to say this to Hosokawa Fujitaka, "Hehe, congratulations first, it seems that the day when the shogunate will regain its prestige is not far off." Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle.

"Yes, but only relying on the two families of Hexagonal and Tianshan, there is a long way to go!" Hosokawa Fujitaka sighed meaningfully.

"Alas, it's a pity that the road to Shangluo hasn't been opened yet, otherwise there will definitely be three good troops!" Oda Yoshinobu also pretended to sigh. He naturally understood what Hosokawa Fujitaka meant, but he had to pretend not to know, after all, although Owari was rich, he couldn't spend it casually.

Well, it is obviously impossible for Hosokawa Fujitaka not to know that the Oda family is not able to go to Luo at this time, but Hosokawa Fujitaka still says so, so naturally he hopes that the Oda family can contribute some military spending. It's a pity that Oda Yoshinobu has never been a great good person, although he has some friendship with Ashikaga Yoshiteru, but it is more due to interests.

Of course, Oda Yoshinobu still admires Ashikaga Yoshiki very much, if it is something that does not require money or direct assistance from troops, Oda Yoshinobu will still help if he can help. Well, is it moral support to not spend money and not send troops?

Seeing that Oda Yoshinobu didn't say what he wanted, Hosokawa Fujitaka was not too disappointed, after all, he didn't know how many times he had experienced this kind of thing over the years. Yamashina Yanji of the imperial court, Hosokawa Fujitaka of the general's family, can be said to be running around every day for money and support, and he has already seen through it.

The two kept chatting, and after a short time they came to Ashikaga Yoshiteru's mansion, and then saw Ashikaga Yoshiteru's classmate who was already standing at the door waiting.

"Haha! Yoshinobu, I haven't been here for so long, but I miss it so much! Ashikaga Yoshiteru walked over laughing, and it could be seen that he seemed to be in a good mood.

"Please atone for your sins with His Royal Highness the General, there are too many things in my family during this time, and it is difficult to find time to visit His Royal Highness the General." Oda Yoshinobu said respectfully.

"Haha~ I know, I know, your Oda family is now the focus of my attention!" Ashikaga Yoshiteru laughed, then took Yoshinobu Oda by the hand and walked to the back room.

As soon as everyone took their seats, Ashikaga Yoshiki looked at Li Huamei and Lilu behind Oda Yoshinobu with a curious look and asked, "Yoshinobu, these two are your ......" Okay, although Ashikaga Yoshiki tried to make his voice lower, but his meaningful expression betrayed him. Well, it's hard not to think crookedly.

However, perhaps being teased one after another made Oda Yoshinobu already immune, so he introduced Ashikaga Yoshiki very plainly, "The two of them are retainers and concubines, Li Huamei, the daughter of the general of the Ming Kingdom, Lilu Argot, a merchant from a country called the Netherlands in Europa. ”

"Oh?!" When Ashikaga Yoshiki heard this, he immediately became interested, but the main interest was Li Huamei's background. There's no way, Ming Guo~ However, after understanding the situation a little, Ashikaga Yoshiteru changed the topic and talked about the Miyoshi family again.

Well, although in the first half of the year, because of Miyoshi Changqing's fourth brother and Shihe Yicun, who is also the number one general of the Miyoshi family, fell to his death, and Miyoshi Changqing had no intention of fighting, so that Rokkaku and Tian Shan took the opportunity to regain their advantage. But obviously, before the Miyoshi family was completely driven out of, the Miyoshi family was still Ashikaga Yoshiteru's biggest heart problem.

"Your Royal Highness Shogun, since the Miyoshi family is now losing ground under the offensive of the Rokkaku and Tayama coalition forces, I hope that I can also contribute to the revival of the shogunate. It's just that the road to Kamiraku is firmly blocked by the Saito family in Mino......," Oda Yoshinobu said with a look of righteousness, "So I came here this time in the hope of obtaining the shogunate's crusade order, and with the help of the majesty of the shogunate, I will eliminate the Saito family who ignore the shogunate as soon as possible, and Kamiraku will help His Royal Highness the shogun." ”

"Hmm...... The loyalty of the Oda family has always been very clear to me. And the Saito family...... Indeed, since the death of Saito Yoshiryu, the new governor Saito Ryuko has been ignoring the authority of the shogunate. Hearing this, Ashikaga Yoshiki groaned, but there was no follow-up.

Seeing this, Oda Yoshinobu clapped his hands, and a Grim Reaper who was kneeling at the door hurriedly walked up with a bag.

"This is 3,000 yuan of gold, which is regarded as the family's compensation for not being able to directly send troops to defeat the three good traitors. In addition, if the main family can capture Mino, they will immediately send troops to Shangluo to help His Royal Highness the Shogun revitalize the shogunate! Oda Yoshinobu untied the bag slightly, pushed it forward, and said in a deep voice.

3,000 yuan was not a small amount for the shogunate at this time, especially at this time. Although nominally, it was the Rokkaku family and the Tayama family against the Miyoshi family, but wasn't this a good opportunity for Ashikaga Yoshiteru to vigorously develop the shogunate forces?

Not to mention, it also received a promise from the Oda family, although this promise is often just lip service, but for the Ashikaga shogunate, which has been ignored for many years, even if it is only verbal, it is worth their attention.

Of course, the gradual decline of the Saito family after Saito Yoshiryu's death is also the key to influencing Ashikaga Yoshiteru's judgment. If Saito Yoshiryu was still alive, Ashikaga Yoshiteru would definitely not have risked offending the Saito family to help the Oda family. But now......

"In that case, Fujitaka ......" Ashikaga Yoshiki was silent for a moment before turning to Hosokawa Fujitaka.

"Yes......" Hosokawa Fujitaka replied, and soon after, he walked over with a pen and paper in his hand, and after a while, a shogunate crusade order was freshly released.

Ashikaga Yoshiki slowly handed the crusade order to Oda Yoshinobu, and said solemnly, "Lord Yoshinobu, I hope that the Oda family can eliminate the traitors as soon as possible, and Kamiraku will help me recover the shogunate!" ”

"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness the General, as long as the family captures Mino, they will immediately send troops to Shangluo!" Oda Yoshinobu hurriedly replied.

"Hmm." Ashikaga Yoshiteru nodded, obviously satisfied with Oda Yoshinobu's attitude.

Taking the crusade order into his arms, Oda Yoshinobu said respectfully again, "Your Highness the Shogun, there is actually another matter that I hope the shogunate can help. With that, Oda Yoshinobu told Ashikaga Yoshiteru about wanting to trade with the Ming Kingdom, but he didn't mention that he had found the imperial court first.

This is also a very interesting thing, obviously they are all powerful regimes that need help urgently, but the imperial court and the shogunate have never been in unison. The imperial court was unhappy with the shogunate, and the shogunate looked down on the imperial court. Although this may be because the shogunate has snatched the power of the imperial court, in this situation, how do you think about it, we should work together to tide over the difficulties first, right?

And this problem became more serious when it came to Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and he didn't seem to think about doing anything by relying on the power of the imperial court in the past. Maybe that's the real reason for his failure?

Well, off topic. After hearing Oda Yoshinobu's words, Ashikaga Yoshiki turned his head and looked at Hosokawa Fujitaka with some confusion, and Hosokawa Fujitaka hurriedly leaned over to him and whispered an explanation.

"Hmm...... There's nothing wrong with that. Ashikaga Yoshiteru said casually after hearing Hosokawa Fujitaka's explanation. He wasn't interested in business transactions or anything, and although he had a slight impression after listening to Hosokawa Fujitaka's explanation, he didn't care too much, and he didn't even ask Oda Yoshinobu for money.

However, Ashikaga Yoshiki didn't start, but Oda Yoshinobu couldn't help but give, some money could be saved, but some money couldn't be saved. This point, in his previous life, Oda Yoshinobu had already understood it very well.

Solved the business, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, who was in a good mood, pulled Oda Yoshinobu to compete with the sword again, and the result was ...... Naturally, he was abused.

However, despite this, Oda Yoshinobu sensed Ashikaga Yoshiteru's progress. For this, he was quite surprised to say, after all, Ashikaga Yoshiteru has so many things to do every day, and he still has time to practice swords?

"Does that count as a bad job?" Oda Yoshishi sneered in his belly with confidence.

returned to Kyoto for a night's rest, and the next day Oda Yoshinobu waited for this Maeda Keiji and others while accompanying Lilu and the two daughters to go shopping. In the evening, Keiji Maeda and the others finally arrived. It's just that Oda Yoshinobu couldn't have imagined that there was also the sword saint Tsukahara Bu Chuan with him.

"The old Oda Yoshinobu of the Oda family has seen the Sword Saint." Oda Yoshinobu said respectfully, while carefully looking at the legendary sword master.

With white hair and wrinkles all over his face, it can be seen that Tsukahara Buden is very old. But looking at his sharp eyes, it was hard to believe that this was an old man in his 70s.

And when Oda Yoshinobu looked at Tsukahara Buden, Tsukahara Buden was also looking at him. It's just ...... "Is he really as strong as the legend?" Tsukahara Bu was full of questions.

The white and slender hands don't look like people who have been practicing swords for a long time, and their handsome faces almost make Tsukahara Buden think that he is Oda Yoshinobu's wife.

"Lord Oda is polite, the old man is just a swordsman with a bit of a false name~" Tsukahara Buchuan said politely.

"Haha~ If Lord Sword Saint is just a little famous, is there still a swordsman worth mentioning in the world?" Yoshinobu Oda laughed.

The two exchanged politeness, and Tsukahara Buchuan directly expressed his intentions, perhaps in his opinion, if Oda Yoshinobu was really a swordsman, he would definitely not refuse his request.

Is Yoshinobu Oda a swordsman? Well, in his own opinion, yes, though he never knew what professional ethics a swordsman had to follow. But even if it wasn't, with a strong martial arts, Oda Yoshinobu would definitely not refuse Tsukahara Buden's request for a competition, after all, he really wanted to know how powerful the legendary sword master was. You must know that when he first played Taiko, he was very badly abused by the two sword saints, Tsukahara Buchuan and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna.

"To be able to compete with Lord Sword Saint, that's something you can't ask for, but if it's late today, and Lord Sword Saint has been on the road for a day, he must be tired~ Why don't you rest for a night and try again tomorrow?" Yoshinobu Oda said with a chuckle.

"Hehe~It's all up to Lord Oda~" Tsukahara Buchuan said with a smile, and then went down to rest under the leadership of the Grim Reaper.

After Tsukahara Buden left, Oda Yoshinobu looked at Shiraki Yukihisa and the others on the side and smiled, "How are you having a good time in Kaimachi?" Did you encounter any interesting things? ”

Oda Yoshinobu was just asking casually, after all, the fact that Shiraki Yukihisa brought Tsukahara Buden was a surprise enough.

"My lord, when my subordinates were in Kai Town, I met a few interesting guys." Maeda Keiji said, and told him about meeting Qianzong Yi and others.

After Maeda Keiji finished speaking, Oda Yoshinobu shook his head a little helplessly, "Keiji, you kid has met a big man this time, and that Qianzong Yi is a figure who can compete with the Sword Saint." Oda Yoshinobu said quite seriously. Well...... So, when this is done, I'll go and visit them together. ”
