On the other side of the assessment room in Gaoyuan City, through several paper sliding doors, Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao were sitting face-to-face to discuss things.

"I've already investigated the details of the new retainers through the ninja crowd, and two of them are sent in by my brother," Speaking of this, Takeda Katsuyori said with a slight smile: "But this is also normal, if the elder brother does not send someone to mix in with my retainers, it is strange." What do you think I should do? ””

Li Xiao nodded and said: "These two people are eliminated too early, but it will make His Highness Yixin uneasy, and he will be more vigilant, just send someone to monitor them now, but don't be alarmed, it may be useful in the future." ”

Katsuyori Takeda nodded in agreement.

And at this moment, there was a loud pop from the city lord's assessment room next door, even if a few words like scolding the mother came from that end.

"What's wrong?" Takeda Katsuyori Huo Ran stood up and asked the guard outside the door.

At this time, the paper door in front of him was opened, and a member of the crowd reported to Takeda Katsuyori: "My lord, it is the big bear who is guarding the front to make trouble." ”

The crowd told the story in detail, and Takeda Katsuyori was immediately furious when he heard it, and shouted again and again: "Bastard, hurry, bring my sword." ”

Li Xiao also scolded from the bottom of his heart when he heard it, and actually grabbed a seat with me, you Daxiong Chaoxiu thought that this was Liang Shanbo, one hundred and eight chairs. However, Li Xiao still looked extremely cultivated on his face, and said lightly: "Lord, let's go and see what the specifics are." This matter is a matter of running-in between the old and new retainers, and it cannot be dealt with hastily. ”

Takeda Katsuyori didn't listen to Li Xiao's words too seriously, but just walked towards the assessment room angrily.

When Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao appeared in the assessment room one after the other, whether they were arguing or the retainers who were watching, they all stopped their actions and knelt down and saluted together.

"Attendance."

Takeda Katsuyori's face was not good, he snorted, put the scabbard of the sword on the wooden floor with both hands, and said loudly: "What was the noise just now? ”

A kneeling warrior lowered his head and said loudly: "The minister Xiong Chaoxiu has disturbed the lord, please punish the lord." ”

Takeda Katsuyori's face softened a little when he heard the other party say this, and said, "Get up, what's going on?" ”

Li Xiao looked at the big bear Chaoxiu lying on the ground, and stood up, this person had a fierce face, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a reckless man, and he couldn't combine it with the fact that he was good at internal affairs. Li Xiao turned his head to see Bao Ke Changyue lying on the ground, blood gushing from his nose, obviously he had just been punched by Da Xiong Chaoxiu.

Da Xiong Chaoxiu stood up and said: "Lord, the minister's age is above Lord Li Xiao, and there is also a position of official position issued by the imperial court, so among the retainers of this family, it is definitely above Lord Li Xiao." ”

Takeda Katsuyori was very unhappy to hear Daxiong Chaoxiu say this, Li Xiao definitely surpassed others in terms of his important surname among the retainers, plus Daxiong Chaoxiu, and Baoke Changyue was injured on the ground. Takeda Katsuyori was already very unhappy with him, and now he reluctantly put down his surname, and said: "What is the rank of the retainer of this family, it is my own decision, Lord Li Xiao, is my teacher, and the time that he joined my Suwa family is longer than yours, so you don't need to have any objections." ”

Hearing what Takeda Katsuyori said, Dakuma Chaoxiu said: "Your Excellency, respect and orderliness are the rules set by the imperial court, if your lordship insists on your own opinion, then please allow your subordinates to run." ”

As soon as Da Xiong Chaoxiu's words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Takeda Katsuyori's face sank suddenly, and it was just a matter of confronting him in front of him, and he dared to threaten the boss's employees with resignation, which was the most annoying to the boss. And after Takeda Katsuyori became the lord of the city, his temper was also seen, and he saw that his face sank, and he brushed the ground directly without a sound, and he was about to pull out the sword in his hand.

When Masatoshi Hoshina saw that Takeda Katsuyori was about to draw his sword, he was shocked, and regardless of his age, he directly rushed forward, hugged Takeda Katsuyori's arm, and said, "Lord, please stop your anger." ”

"Bastard, I'm going to kill him." Takeda Katsuyori's eyes widened angrily, and the scene that was staged suddenly made many new retainers dumbfounded, this lord is too surnamed, and the retainer said a few words, and he was about to draw his sword. And the Tibetan Chang'an, who was sitting on the side, saw that his eyeballs were about to fall, and he thought, isn't it, it's such an impatient lord, Uesugi Kenshin was defeated in his hands.

"Lord Dan Zhengzhong, you don't have to stop the lord," Daxiong Chaoxiu was very calm, sitting cross-legged in place, pulling his clothes apart, exposing his belly, and said in a deep voice, "My lord, my subordinates know that they are offended, and I ask the lord to punish him." However, the lord killed his subordinates because he was unkind, unadmonishable, unwise, and reckless, I really regret that I believe in Lord Xuan and have such a son as His Royal Highness. ”

This big bear Chaoxiu is too venomous, and the retainers began to sweat for him, but now that these words are spoken, any lord will not be able to stand it.

Seeing that Takeda Katsuyori's whole face was angry with pig's liver, he was about to enter a violent state.

"Big Bear is ready to guard, I think you are an unfaithful and unrighteous person, what face do you dare to criticize Your Highness."

When everyone saw this, they shouted angrily, and it was from Li Xiao's mouth on the side.

Da Xiong Chaoxiu saw that the other party was burly and far more than others, and had already guessed who the other party was, and asked, "Your Excellency is Lord Li Xiao?" ”

"Exactly."

"What has been my unfaithfulness and unrighteousness?" Big Bear Chaoxiu said directly.

Li Xiaozheng said: "There is a saying in Confucianism, 'If the king has a fault, and the minister does not listen to the three advices, he will run away.'" 'And Lord Bizen Shou, if he disagrees with His Highness, he will take out his face and threaten His Highness, is this the way of Your Excellency's courtiers, is it for disloyalty! And this Lord Baoke Masatsuki, who belongs to the samurai of the family, is a retainer with your Excellency, and Your Excellency will wave your hand and fight, it is unjust! Bizen Mamoru Lord, am I wrong with what I said? ”

Da Xiong Chaoxiu's face stiffened, this Li Xiao's words were sharp, and more importantly, he occupied a rational word, just like a Chinese Confucian, upholding righteousness, and having a kind of heroic atmosphere. Daxiong Chaoxiu gritted his teeth, and he still had the style of a samurai, stood up, knelt down again, and said to Takeda Katsuyori: "Lord Lord, Fang is the fault of His Majesty, and I ask Lord Gong to forgive me." ”

Seeing that Daxiong Chaoxiu admitted his mistake, Takeda Katsuyori had already gotten down the stairs, and Dazang Chang'an saw a tense crisis, which was resolved by Li Xiao in a few words, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. It seems that this Li Xiao is not just a fierce general as rumored. Dazang Chang'an secretly praised in his heart.

Takeda Katsuyori put away the knife, but he still looked very angry and ignored the big bear Chaoxiu.

However, Da Xiong Chaoxiu's stinky mouth fired again, and he said: "But the lord, he still insists on his own opinion, and in the retainer seat, Lord Li Xiao must be under the minister." ”

Okay, your big bear shows off the white-eyed wolf, I saved your life, and you came to bite me again.

Li Xiaohan laughed and said: "The battle for seats is just floating clouds, oh no, it's just a false name." But I would like to ask you, Lord Bizen Mamoru, is it true that whoever holds the highest official position issued by the imperial court will have the highest rank? ”

"Not bad." Big Bear nodded at Chaoxiu.

"Bold," Li Xiao shouted, "His Royal Highness Shenglai does not have any official position now, according to what you say, isn't your rank still above His Highness." ”

Da Xiong Chaoxiu knew at this time that he had fallen into Li Xiao's verbal trap, but at this time it was too late to regret it.

Takeda Katsuyori felt secretly funny in his heart when he heard this, but his face sank, and he also pressured the big bear Chaoxiu and said, "Yes, Lord Bizen Mamoru, shouldn't I give way to you now?" ”

Da Xiong Chaoxiu's face was blue and red for a while, and Huo Ran said: "Your Majesty is wrong, but please ask for the permission of my lord, let me Lord Li Xiao, after the competition is a decisive victory, and then decide the seat." ”
