Outside the castle tower of Cheongju Castle, a group of ashiki were busy carrying corpses. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIt's just that there is a place where there are many corpses, but no Ashigaru dares to approach it, because,Oda Nobunaga is standing there.。

I saw him raise his head at a 45° oblique angle and look up at the gradually darkening sky for a long time, and he exuded an aura called "Don't enter the living" all over his body.

"Lord......" Maeda Toshiya and others stood silently aside, trying to persuade something, but they didn't know how to speak.

And Yamada Masamura's mood was also very low, at this time, he was still afraid, he couldn't imagine at all, if Ah Shi and the others were killed, what would happen to him.

"Overlord Pill, don't be sad, wait a minute, it's up to you to persuade the lord, this kind of thing, you are the best at it. Alas, this time Oda Nobuyuki and Nobuyoki's rebellion must have hit him hard......" Maeda Toshiya patted Yamada Masamura's shoulder and said with some bitterness.

"yes, got it." Yamada Masamura whispered.

Maeda Toshi's brother, Maeda Toshigen, was killed by him on the battlefield, but at this time, except for his expression being a little low, he couldn't see any pain at all. This is not to say that he is cold-blooded, but that he is mature, and mature men always like to hold the pain in their hearts and bear it alone.

It's just that Yamada Masamura and others, who have been with him for a long time, can't see the strangeness of Maeda's Toshi's family?

"Dog, are you okay kid? How do you feel weird? Ikeda asked strangely.

"Yes, I remember seeing you and your brother Rigen ...... before" Niwa Nagahide seemed to remember something at this time, but he was silent in the middle of the conversation.

"Alas...... Dog, the festival is ......" Yamada Masamura patted Maeda Toshiie's shoulder and said with a sigh. He really didn't know how to comfort people at such a time. And Niwa Nagahide and them, apparently also have the same idea as Yamada Masamura, as if they have a lot of words, but when they come to their mouths, they can't say a word.

"Haha~ Don't worry, who is my Maeda Toshiya?! And I took my brother to die for the conviction in my heart, for a samurai...... It's not ...... Dream ...... In order to seek? Maeda Toshiie laughed, but at the end, his voice couldn't help but choke.

"Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place...... "Yamada Masamura looked at Maeda Toshiya who finally couldn't help sobbing, and for some reason, such a verse suddenly popped up in his heart. I don't know what ...... future" Yamada Masamura thought with some emotion, but then threw this idea out of his mind, "Bah! Lao Tzu will never let this happen again! Yamada Masamura swore secretly.

Maybe it was a little embarrassed to be watched by everyone, Maeda Toshiya quickly stopped choking, raised his head and saw Sasa Narumasa who was with a straight face on the side, and hurriedly tried to change the topic with a playful face, "Uchizosuke, you must have lost to me this time!" ”

It's just that Uchizosuke, who usually hears this, will immediately refute it, is rarely silent, and everyone looks at each other, and they immediately notice that something is wrong, "Uchizosuke ......" Maeda Toshiya shouted softly.

"Brother Masaji and Brother Sun Jie died in battle...... "Sasa Naimasa said in a low voice, still without much expression on his face.

......Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Well, what else can they say?

"What are you talking about?" At this moment, Oda Nobunaga's deep voice came.

They didn't hide anything, and everyone quickly explained the matter briefly. Then, Oda Nobunaga was also silent.

After a long time, Oda Nobunaga whispered, "Inu, Uchizosuke, I'm right to ......" Oda Nobunaga's words were not finished before he was immediately interrupted by Sasa Narimasa.

"The lord, as the lord of the lord's retainer, it is the responsibility and honor of the retainer to die for the lord, and the inner assistant is proud of the two brothers!" Sasa Narumasa said loudly.

"My lord! Since the elder brother has chosen to stand on the opposite side of the lord, no matter who kills him, it is a matter of course! Maeda Toshiya also hurriedly agreed.

"You ......" Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but choke up a little when he saw everyone when he heard this, and his eyes began to redden.

"Okay~" A light voice came, and I saw Yamada Masamura wrapping his arm around Oda Nobunaga's shoulder, "Master Kichibo, if you kid cry, we will laugh at you for the rest of your life~"

"Hmm......" Oda Nobunaga choked up with his arms over his face, and this strong man finally couldn't help it under the continuous blows.

Night. Oda Nobunaga and the others gathered at the observation deck of the castle tower to drink, sing, dance, and talk nonsense, and Nohime and the others had already gone to live at the mansion of Yamada Masamura. Although it has been cleaned, the strong smell of blood still permeates the entire castle tower, and it is obviously uninhabitable for the time being. But Oda Nobunaga didn't seem to notice it, and the atmosphere was called hi.

Perhaps, in any era, the way men forget their grief will always be like this, right? Yamada Masamura looked drunkenly at the people who were still drinking frantically, and thought groggyly.

Early the next morning.

Although Oda Nobunaga did not give any orders, in fact, the boy was still asleep, but all the retainers of the Oda family had already rushed over.

The group of people sat quietly in the assessment room, and the smell of blood that had not completely disappeared made everyone's brows furrow. This group of people are all retainers who have remained neutral in this war. Sakuma, who has a frown on his brows, and Maeda Toshimasa, who has a worried face, are constantly playing their own little calculations in their hearts, quietly waiting for Oda Nobunaga to appear.

However, an hour passed, and Oda Nobunaga was still nowhere to be seen, and the mood of the crowd became even more agitated. But even so, no one jumped out to say anything, and there was still calm in the assessment room.

"Stepping on the ......" I don't know how long it took, a sound of footsteps came, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, but it was not Oda Nobunaga who appeared in front of everyone, but ......

"It's them?! They are ...... in shock" Everyone looked at the person outside the door in shock, and they couldn't believe their eyes at all, because the person standing outside the door was Oda Nobuyuki's biggest helper in the rebellion, Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen. At this time, they were dressed in pure white clothes, with short knives stuck in their waists, and stood at the door with expressionless faces.

Maybe it was because I found out that Oda Nobunaga didn't come, right? Shibata Katsuya and the two silently walked to their previous positions and sat down.

The appearance of these two people in this kind of clothing made everyone's mood instantly complicated. Because in this era, samurai would only wear clothes of this color when they were ready to commit suicide except when they were resting, not to mention that they also had short swords pinned to their waists? "If Shibata-sama and Hayashi-sama have seppuku...... everyone's hearts couldn't help but think.

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps again, and everyone looked again, and this time, it was Tsuchida Gozen. At this time, this woman, who had always been arrogant, finally appeared with a different demeanor, her eyes were red, she looked tired, and after coming in, she just sat silently in her place, and then remained silent.

Even Tsuchida Gozen changed his normal state like this, and everyone's hearts suddenly became more panicked. But in the assessment room, it was still so calm, no one made the slightest sound, and the atmosphere was weird.

After a long time, there was another sound of footsteps. Only this time, it was finally not an unexpected person, and Oda Nobunaga finally appeared. It's just that to everyone's surprise, behind Oda Nobunaga, there are still Yamada Masamura, Niwa Nagahide, Maeda Toshiie, Sasa Narumasa and Ikeda Tsuneko.

glanced at everyone in the house, and when he saw Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen, his face became a little weird. And when he saw Tsuchida Gozen, his face instantly became gloomy.

Under Oda Nobunaga's glance, everyone's hearts were flustered, especially when Oda Nobunaga was still standing behind Yamada Masamura, the god of killing. The story of Inayu's battle with Yamada Masamura with 400 people breaking the Shibata Katsu family and 1,000 people spread among many families in Owari on the same day.

Fortunately, Oda Nobunaga quickly strode to the top position and sat down. And Yamada Masamura and others also found their places to sit down at this time.

"Inuchiyo, Your Highness, he ......" Maeda Toshimasa just wanted to find out about the situation with his son, when he heard Oda Nobunaga's majestic voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the civil strife is over...... I'm very satisfied with your performance......" Oda Nobunaga said very calmly, but most of the people broke out in a cold sweat.

"Huh!" At this moment, Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen suddenly stood up, strode to the middle of the assessment room and bowed down, "Your Highness! The following sinners cannot be redeemed for their crimes, please allow the sinners to cut their stomachs! Shibata Katsuie and Lin Xiuzhen said loudly.

"Bastard!" When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he stood up abruptly and shouted angrily, and then walked in front of the Shibata Katsuya in a few steps, kicked one by one, and directly kicked the two to the ground. "Do you think that you will be able to atone for your sins by seppuku?! Your sins must be paid with all your lives! ”

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, because Oda Nobunaga's words turned out to be ready to spare Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen. This...... This is a bit hard for them to accept.

And Shibata Katsuya and Lin Xiuzhen obviously couldn't imagine this result, and after being stunned for a while, they hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Highness...... No! Thank you for not killing! ”

"Get back in here and sit down!" Oda Nobunaga scolded coldly when he heard this, and then returned to his seat.

It's just that the Shibata Katsuya and the two have just returned, but Tsuchida Gozen slowly walked out. She walked to the middle, bowed down as well, and pleaded with some sadness, "Your Highness, I beg you, spare Xinxing." ”

"......" was silent, a silence, and many retainers, even the two Shibata Katsu families, did not dare to make any noise at this time.

Seeing this, Tsuchida Gozen cried and pleaded again, "Your Highness! Please, this matter was instigated by the concubine from beginning to end, Xinxing, Xinxing just didn't want to oppose me...... Your Highness! Nobuyuki is your own brother after all......"

Tsuchida Gozen kept pleading, and that miserable appearance looked really pitiful. "It seems that this woman really loves Nobuyuki that kid, but ......" Yamada Masamura turned his head to look at Oda Nobunaga, "This is really biological?" Yamada Masamura said that he could not understand Tsuchida Gozen.

I don't know how long it took to be silent before Oda Nobunaga whispered a little hoarsely, "Mother, Kanjuro is my own brother after all...... This thing...... Forget it......" Speaking of this, Oda Nobunaga suddenly paused, and his expression became a little hideous at the same time. However, he soon recovered and said, "From now on, my mother will stay in Suemori Castle to take care of Kanjuro." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness! Tsuchida said excitedly. Then, at the signal of Oda Nobunaga, he was helped down by two maids.

Tsuchida Gozen left, and the assessment room was quiet again. Oda Nobunaga was silent, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long time, he seemed to recover and spoke again.

"The war is over, I don't want to say anything else, in a word, there are rewards and punishments." Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice, it seems that because of Tsuchida Gozen's affairs, he looks tired now. "Changxiu!" Oda Nobunaga shouted softly.

"Yes!" When Niwa Nagahide heard this, he quickly stood up and walked in front of everyone, took out a scroll from his arms, opened it and read it out loud.

This is a list of rewards and punishments, and this kind of thing was naturally handed over to Lin Xiuzhen, the old man of the pen family, to do it in the past. But now, Niwa Nagahide came to read it, but no one dared to say anything.

"Yamada Masamura! The first contribution to this battle was made, and he was promoted to general, and he was named the lord of Guye City, and received 3,000 stones! ”

"Li Huamei and Da Zhu He, under the command of Yamada Masamura, have meritorious service in guarding Cheongju, and they will be rewarded with 200 yuan and given the status of a samurai."

"Niwa Changxiu, reward 500 stones, 500 yuan, temporarily take the position of the head of the pen family."

"Maeda Toshiya, promoted to general, reward 500 yuan, 200 stones, and seal the mountain castle."

"Zuo Zuo Chengzheng, promoted to general, rewarded 500 stones of territory, and succeeded to the position of governor of Zuo Zuo's family."

"Ikeda Hengxing, promoted to general, reward 500 yuan, 200 stones, and seal the city of Dacaocheng."

"......" a series of rewards directly shocked everyone. It's just that there are still a lot of things that shocked them today......

"Maeda Toshimasa, reduce the seal by 500 stone ......"

"Sakuma is heavy, reduce the seal by 200 stone ......"

As soon as this punishment came out, everyone was stupid again, but they didn't object immediately, they just waited quietly, waiting for the punishment of Shibata Katsuya and others.

"Shibata Katsuna, although the sin cannot be redeemed, read that he has served his family for many years, temporarily confiscate the territory, and stay in Qingzhou to obey orders."

"Lin Xiuzhen, although the crime cannot be redeemed, she has served her family for many years, temporarily confiscated the territory, and stayed in Qingzhou to obey orders."

"Oda Nobuyuki confiscated all the territories and kept only Suemori Castle for him to live in, and he was given 300 koku. They are not allowed to recruit their own retainers, and there are no more than 10 people in the city who carry swords......"

At this moment, everyone is no longer stupid, but crazy......
