After looking around at his retainers again, Saito Yoshiryu smiled with satisfaction.

"Then, there's a happy event to announce."

The retainers raised their heads one after another and looked at each other, what is the joy now?

What other happy event could there be when the merit-seeking order just now was issued?

Is it to include Zuo Zuo Cheng Zheng as a public?

But...... Yilong is still young, and his daughter is only six years old, how can he marry Zozo Chengzheng, who is almost 20 years old?

"Everyone should have heard of this person...... I have always hoped that he would become my retainer, and now, my wish has finally come true, and in order to reward Sasa Narumasa's service, I promoted him to the elder of the family and rewarded him with Toki Prefecture as a place of knowledge. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the pot immediately exploded.

Promote a minister who has just come to defect to be an old man? And a whole Toki county as his domain?

I! Happy! Cut! Grass!

We have worked hard for so many years, and we haven't seen how to seal the territory, but when you treat a foreign minister, you reward an entire Tuqi County in one go?

In the hearts of the wealthy people, there are 10,000 grass and mud horses whistling by.

"Smack!"

Yoshiryu slapped the folding fan on the tatami mat again, and the hall immediately fell silent again.

The wealthy people understood that this was not an assessment meeting, but an order.

The person who issued the order was, of course, Saito Yoshiryu, and they just had to listen.

"I know that you are not convinced, of course it is okay to be unconvinced, as long as you can prove that you are indeed stronger than Sazo Chengzheng. If you can prove that you are stronger, then Toki-gun will reward the strongest one. ”

As soon as Saito Yoshiryu finished speaking, Sasa Narumasa stood up in the hall, nearly eight feet taller, taller than Saito Yoshima - even if all the people in this hall stood up, only Saito Yoshiryu could not be looked down on by Sasa Seiryu.

"There is a saying in the Tang Kingdom, which is called Wen Wu first, Wu Wu second. Chengzheng has only been practicing martial arts for a few years, but he also knows a little about spearmanship, swordsmanship, and iron cannons, so if any adult thinks that Chengzheng is not worthy of being rewarded by Toki County, please give me advice. ”

The wealthy looked at each other, and soon someone stepped forward.

One of the three people in West Mino, the family Buquan, is also a fierce general in Mino, and his marksmanship is very good.

"Then, I'll ask Zozo-sama for advice on marksmanship."

A small surname had already brought spears for the two of them, and the retainers also retreated one after another, vacating a space in the center of the hall with a radius of several zhang.

"My lord, please."

Cheng Zheng held the gun in one hand, and his feet were slightly apart.

The family Bu Quan was stunned when he saw this, and he felt a little familiar with this starting style.

"Look at the move!"

With a shout, the clan Bu Quan launched a rush attack, Cheng Zheng raised his hand and flicked it lightly, and the head of the clan Bu Quan's gun was deflected. He took two quick steps to approach the side of the clan Bu Quan, held the gun in both hands, and with the power of the rotation of his body, he smashed the gun into the chest of the clan Bu Quan.

The family Bu Quan hurriedly raised the gun to block, and with a "snap", the family Bu Quan's arms were numb, and he took three steps back, and the spear almost came out of his hand.

Cheng Zheng refused to let go of this opportunity, lunge forward and stabbed straight forward, and the spear shot at the chest of the clan Buquan like a dragon out of the water.

The family Bu Quan was shocked, his arms couldn't use his strength, and he couldn't open Cheng Zheng's spear, so he had to raise the gun to block it again and protect it in front of his chest.

There was another "snap", and the family Buquan's arms were light, and then he felt a huge force from his chest, as if a sledgehammer had smashed up.

His throat was sweet and he couldn't help but spit blood.

After throwing away the spear that had been broken in two, the clan Buquan bowed to Cheng Zheng, who was smiling at the horizontal spear.

"Thank you for not killing."

The attitude of the family Buquan changed too quickly, so that everyone was a little unresponsive.

Obviously, he was still very arrogant just now, but after snapping twice, just twice, he was respectful to Sasa Chengzheng. But only the clan Buquan himself knows that if Zuo Zuo Chengzheng stabbed him in the chest with the head of the gun instead of the tail handle, then his life would probably be over.

-- The spear skill competition between the two of them was too fast.

As soon as they fought, the winners and losers were decided, which made the wealthy families of Meinong a little apprehensive.

Perhaps, Sasa Narimasa is really strong enough?

"Sasa-sama's swordsmanship, not to mention, after all, he is the one who won Imagawa Yoshimoto among the ten thousand armies, I don't think anyone wants to taste defeat again, right?"

After helping the good Kiyu clan Buquan to sit down, Inaba Ryotsu stood up, and when he said this, it was equivalent to admitting defeat to the wealthy family representing Mino.

He doesn't really know how strong Imagawa Yoshimoto's swordsmanship is, but what Inaba knows is that he had seen Sasa Naimasa's wound during his time at Shotokuji Temple, and with such a serious injury, Sasa Narumasa was able to survive (pig's foot aura), and it only took a month of hard work to recover to the current level (pig's foot aura)...... Inaba Ryotsu knows that he is invincible (Great Fog), and he also knows that there are very few people in this hall who can defeat Sasa Seimasa (Great Fog).

"I've heard that Sasa-sama's iron cannon shooting is also very good, but there are also iron cannon masters in my Mino territory, so I wonder if Sasa-sama can beat my Mino iron cannon master?"

As soon as Inaba finished speaking, everyone's eyes were already focused on Akechi Mitsuhide.

There is no doubt that Akechi Mitsuhide is Minono's iron cannon master.

――It is said that there was a man who wanted to see his marksmanship, and when a bird happened to pass by, Mitsuhide raised his iron cannon and shot it down without saying a word.

But Akechi Mitsuhide just smiled and said:

"Three years ago, during the First Battle of Inayuhara, I witnessed Sasa-sama sniping Shibata Katsuie, and at that time, Sasa-sama broke the flagpole of Shibata Katsuya with a single shot, and I was ashamed of myself."

――Even an iron cannon master like Akechi Mitsuhide said that he was not as good as Sasa Seimasa, and there was no hope for him now.

There was an uproar in the hall, and the wealthy were disappointed, but they also had to accept the reality.

When everyone sat back in their original positions, Yoshiryu Saito announced the third event of today's evaluation meeting.

"I will be a member of my Saito family, and the wedding will be in a month. Sasa Chengzheng will marry my sister Guidie. ”

The words are not shocking and endless, and again and again, again and again!

The Mino Wealthy felt that their blood pressure was a little high.

Saito Yoshiryu's hand pressed forward step by step, as if he wanted to roast them on the stove.

First, a merit-seeking order was issued, which solved the problem of Sazuo Chengzheng's status.

Then he immediately gave Zuo Zuo Chengzheng a fief of a county and the status of the elder of the family, and he was not small to Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's ability, which convinced them.

Now, going one step further, he actually wants to include Zuo Zuo Chengzheng in one door, and he is still married to Yilong's sister, Gui Die!

It turns out that this is the reason why Sasa Naruma sat in the position of the chief of the sect from the beginning.

Everyone figured it out, and they had already greeted the female families of Saito Yoshiryu and Sasa Narumasa in their hearts.

Eye-red, that's quite a red-eyed!

I heard that Princess Guidie has returned from Owari, and the people who have come to Inabayama Castle to seek relatives have almost worn the stairs of Inabayama Castle bald.

Gui Die's beauty and intelligence are known to all of the United States, but Gui Die has already been married once, so in theory, it shouldn't be so popular.

But Guidie also has an identity, which is the only sister of Saito Yoshiryu.

It is this identity that makes the wealthy families in Mino flock to it, and they all aspire to become Saito Yoshiryu's brother-in-law.

But Saito Yoshiryu knocked out all the people who came to propose marriage in the past half a month, and it turned out that there had been arrangements for a long time.

- Although this Sasa Naruma has the ability, in the final analysis, he is just a guy who tends to be inflammatory.

That's what everyone thinks.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Sasa Chengzheng knelt down and thanked him, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

――I don't think I'm going to be able to carry out my plan well.
