"Lord, the enemy has retreated, should we pursue?"

Inutaro looked at the retreating Roxagonal Army and asked Ji Qin. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Ji Qin looked at the Hexagonal Army, which had retreated very thoroughly, and even lost the flag, shook his head, and then glanced at Maeda Keiji at the foot of the mountain who was about to return to the horse to chase and kill, shook his head and said: "There is no need for that, since the enemy has retreated, let Maeda Keiji bring people back, and after that, Inutaro, you take the troops back to the city, and I will take the first step and arrive at Kotani Castle before the lord's wedding." ”

"Yes! Please rest assured that Inutaro will definitely live up to his mission! ”

Ji Qin nodded, and one flashed onto the back of the little white dragon's horse, and ran alone towards Kita-Omi Kotani Castle. By the time Maeda Keiji returned to his main camp dejectedly, Ji Qin had already run away, and he could only slowly bring the soldiers and horses back to Guanyin Temple City according to Inutaro's instructions.

Along the main road, Ji Qin galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Qimu Village at noon the next day, Zhuang Zhong Gamo Dingxiu father and son Tsuru and son Konohamaru were waiting for Ji Qin to bring in the village, they came to Qimu Village and decided that if they could not wait for Ji Qin at noon on August 4, they would go to Kotani City first, anyway, Kotani Castle and Kikizhuang are relatively close.

After freshening up under the arrangement of the crane, Ji Qin talked with Dingxiu and his son in the study.

"Ji Qin, how is the situation in Minami Omi?"

The general information Dingxiu naturally already knows, but he still wants to hear Ji Qin, the party, recount the details again, Ji Qin nodded, and told Dingxiu and the others in detail what happened after they left Minami Omi, and when he heard that Ji Qin slaughtered the descendants of the rebels' families, Dingxiu sighed.

After Ji Qin finished speaking, he paused for a long time before Ding Xiu said: "I can't imagine that Lord Hirai can't even get a whole corpse when he is old, it's really embarrassing!" ”

"Father..."

"It doesn't matter. Ji Qin, the total territory of these people is probably not less than 40,000 stones, have you figured out how to deal with it? Dingxiu looked at Ji Qin, Ji Qin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, can Dingxiu have any ideas for me?" ”

Dingxiu smiled slightly, touched his gray beard, and said softly: "Ji Qin, it is already surprising that you have used two years as a ninja to achieve a height that many samurai can't reach in a lifetime, and behind the surprise, there must be countless people waiting for you to make mistakes, and then they will pounce, show their sharp teeth, and eat you." ”

Ji Qin frowned slightly and said, "Dingxiu said this, are you saying that what I did this time was a wrong thing?" Jokes, I, Qimu Jiqin, never do anything that is not beneficial to the overall situation, if they dare to chew their tongues, I will kill them, a group of incompetent people, it is useless to keep them. ”

Dingxiu patted Ji Qin's knee and said with a smile: "Ji Qin, you are still young after all, although your ability is unparalleled, but after all, you still have a little less understanding of people's hearts." Let's take this matter as an example, I believe you must have reported this matter to the lord before, but Ji Qin, you must know that the lord is also a human being, and he can trust you, but what about others? Others will only see you slaughter so many retainers for no reason, and when the time comes, they will condemn you together, and the lord will not be able to protect you. ”

Ji Qin was silent, relying on the help of the system over the years, he can be described as a flat horse, and the few crises are not a desperate situation of life and death, although this time it is not counted, but it involves people's hearts and human nature, but Ji Qin, who crossed over here when he was a college student, is really not very good at it.

"Ji Qin, according to the old man's opinion, you first send one person into the city to report the victory, and then you will return all the territories of these vassals to the lord, and even you can resign as the city lord of Guanyin Temple City because of the slaughter of the vassals in advance, and because the Rokkaku family is still eyeing the country of Iga, the three generals of Hai Chiyu are old after all, and it is okay to occasionally go to the battlefield to make suggestions or sit in the rear, after all, it is too reluctant to go to the front, and the lord will naturally reject your resignation at that time, and those retainers will not say anything, as long as they are gagged, Everything will be easy to do. ”

Ji Qin's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Dingxiu's move is very good at retreating, and it seems to have wiped out my credit for resisting the Rokkatagon's counterattack on Minami Omi this time, but in fact, it is not." Please keep me! ”

After speaking, Ji Qin bowed to Gamo Dingxiu, and Dingxiu treated it calmly, and waited until Ji Qin finished saluting before continuing: "Yesterday, someone from the Oda family came to visit the village, and the interests of your retainers went to the town to settle the dispute, and the old man met with the man named Niwa Nagahide as your retainer. ”

Niwa Nagahide, if he comes, it shouldn't be a big deal, but it's not a small matter, could it be a marriage? Ji Qin smiled, looked at Dingxiu and said, "Dingxiu, he must have come to the alliance, at most one marriage will be added, I really can't think of anything else?" ”

"Well, he came mainly to talk about the marriage, but as for the alliance, he didn't say anything." After speaking, Dingxiu still looked at Ji Qin teasingly, the color in his eyes was self-evident, Ji Qin smiled and did not answer.

Dingxiu laughed, and then said: "Listening to Niwa Nagahide's meaning, Oda Nobunaga wants to repair the marriage contract that was torn up last year and renew the previous marriage contract." ”

Ji Qin shook his head and said affirmatively: "It is impossible to repeat the previous marriage contract, now that the family is in Omi, looking forward to the Quartet, although he Nobunaga can be described as a great person and respected by me, but this matter is related to the face of the family, according to the previous agreement, it is naturally impossible, if Nobunaga is really willing, then let his sister be the side room." ”

Dingxiu nodded: "Niwa Nagahide stayed for a while yesterday and left, I want to come to congratulate the lord, by the way, I came to visit you to discuss the marriage contract, let's go to Kotani City, he will naturally come to visit you, see what he says then." ”

The two were silent for a while, and Hyun-so played the role of a transparent person making tea on the side. Dingxiu looked at Ji Qin and asked softly: "Nan Omi has been pacified, if it can be stable for a few more years, it will have the strength to compete for the world, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Don't you have any ideas?"

"Me? Haha, the old man is already halfway into the ground, what else can he think? It's Ji Qin, your thoughts are very important. ”

"Oh, I will speak to the lord and let him take a break from the army, and he will not use the army for two years."

"Two years without troops? Wakasa will not be withdrawn? ”

"No, no! Without a garrison on the Wakasa side, there is no guarantee of the influence of the family. ”

"Well, that's fine! The Asai family is indeed developing too fast, and the foundation is a little shallow, so we need to stop and tidy it up! ”

……

In the evening, Ji Qin, who returned to the room, hugged the crane and teased the Konohamaru in the crane's arms.

"Brother Ji Qin, marry the Oda family! Don't worry about cranes! ”

Ji Qin was stunned for a moment, then hugged the crane tightly, and without saying a word, the crane lowered his head and looked at his son, slightly disappointed.
