Chapter 479: When the sumo tournament is in progress
The violent overage pseudo-loli Oda Nobuko will hold a sumo tournament open to everyone in mid-February. The preliminary round will be held on February 17, followed by the semi-finals and finals on February 18 and 19 respectively.
Although the participants in these three days of the tournament are all civilians, ordinary people, or non-Japanese samurai who have not entered the ranks, most of the Oda family elders and important ministers will still attend solemnly, especially the semi-finals of the round of 64 that began on the second day and the quarterfinals on the third day.
After all, among these contestants participating in the competition, there will definitely be many malleable talents, who are expected to become a generation of famous players in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that this sumo tournament was a great opportunity for the Oda family to replenish their recruits.
As for the "Oda Family Tree Trial", which is the most popular event among the elders and important ministers of the family, it will be held for three consecutive days after the completion of the three-day sumo tournament, that is, February 20, 21, and 22, and it will also be divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, and preliminary trials within the top 16.
Interestingly, the sumo tournament for civilians was attended not only by ronin and samurai, but also by many monks.
In fact, in this troubled era of the Warring States Period, there are many examples of monks becoming elders and important ministers in the family. Even monks, such as the Honganji Temple of the Ichizogun sect, have reached the ultimate pursuit of fame, fortune, and power.
According to the final statistics, the number of participants in this sumo tournament reached a staggering 2,500 people. It is uncertain whether such a large-scale tournament will be the last one, but it can definitely be said to be unprecedented.
This time, there were quite a lot of people who came to the sumo tournament, and tens of thousands of people came to see the excitement. As a result, not only the nearby villages were filled with people, but even the dense forests at the foot of Mt. Azuchi were crowded with many rough sleepers.
Violent overage pseudo-loli is on February 13th. Set off with the brigade to Minami Omi Province Jorakuji Temple.
Lori's departure naturally attracted many townspeople to watch. It is said that after the female head of the family resumed her status as a princess, she was as beautiful as a fairy, and she could be called the first beauty of the Warring States. Therefore, all the townspeople wanted to see how beautiful the head of the Oda family really was.
But. Everyone didn't see the No. 1 beauty of the Warring States, but saw that everyone in the military formation of the Oda family was carrying a small burden. There are even more than 300 horses tied to the backs of large bulging cloth bags.
In addition to these bags and baggage, the crowd also saw three wooden coffins that looked like two large wheels on them...... Uh, no, the rectangular wooden box is being guarded very closely by several ashigaru.
After a little inquiry, the townspeople found out that all the baggage was filled with prizes for this sumo tournament. As for the three large rectangular wooden boxes. It is also a precious family treasure specially prepared for the top three of the sumo tournament.
At this moment, the townspeople who did not sign up for the event suddenly exploded. Some of them relied on themselves to run fast, and they hurriedly ran in the direction of Changle Temple. As for the slow runners, only Yang Tian burst into tears at 45 degrees, deeply regretting why he didn't sign up earlier.
Violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie watched this scene in their eyes, but the two did not plan to change the time of the sumo tournament because of this. "Opportunity" is reserved for those who are diligent and prepared. These people who rushed for the prizes at the last minute, the Oda family would not take them in.
When everyone arrived at Jorakuji Temple. It's the evening of February 16th, and tomorrow is the preliminary round of the sumo tournament. At this time, temporary wooden houses have been erected on both sides of the forest path from the apse of the Togarkuji temple to the summit shrine for all the contestants to stay.
These contestants, known as "Hercules", are gearing up to show off their might during the competition. This is a thing of being holy and proud in front of people!
Truly. This is not only a thing to show his divine power, but also a big opportunity to decide whether he can get ahead and break out in this troubled world of the Warring States.
In the eyes of these "Hercules", this is not a race. All the thoughts such as "sportsmanship" and "participation spirit" in Wang Tianxie's previous life were all thrown away to the Santu Chuan Prefecture!
It's a war!
One needs to fight your own. Even if you want to kill the other party and tear the other party into pieces of minced meat, you have to win the war! A vigorous war that reflects years of hard training!
Although the sumo wrestling tournament will not start until tomorrow, among the nearly 2,500 "strong men", they are absolutely imposing, and they can't wait to stand on the competition field now, look up to the sky and roar, and vent the excitement in their hearts.
Every strong man who participates in the competition hopes that he can stand out in this sumo tournament, and everyone's heart burns with the ambition called "getting ahead".
Such a grand occasion has never been seen in this troubled era of the Warring States. In addition, it is only February, and it is not yet the season for farming. Therefore, even the tens of thousands of castle townspeople who came to watch the castle were equally excited.
However, there is a group of people who are not excited about sumo wrestling tournaments, but only because they can run out and play.
Strictly speaking,This is not a group of people.,It's a group of ghosts.γLittle Lori.γ
That's right, it's the little Loli of the demon clan who lives in Wang Tianxie!
At this moment, this group of demon clan little lolites who secretly followed, but were discovered by Wang Tianxie, were rolling on the ground in front of Wang Tianxie, selling cuteness, and coquettishness, and proposed to hold a barbecue meeting in the dense forest outside Changle Temple tonight.
However, because tomorrow the violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie have other things to deal with, so Wang Tianxie directly brought the little Loli to the guest room, telling the story of "Three Little Pigs (Ghost Demon Version)" while coaxing them to sleep.
Soon, the first day of preliminary competition will begin. Today's little sister of the sun is very powerful, and the sky can be said to be a clear sky. Although February is still a little cold, the glowing little leather bag of the little sister of the sun shines on people, which still makes people feel warm.
Today's preliminary round of violent overage pseudo-Lori and Wang Tianxie will not attend, and even Tokugawa Ieyasu, the Tokugawa giant tortoise, who has become a public, and the top five family elders Hayashi Tokatsu, Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, monkey Kinoshita Toyoshiro Hideyoshi and others will also not attend.
If anyone pays attention, they will find that these eight people actually took advantage of the crowd to enjoy the sumo tournament happily, and walked into a relatively secluded guest room with solemn faces without everyone noticing.
It wasn't until the beginning of the lanterns and the preliminary round was about to end that the violent overage pseudo-Lori, Wang Tianxi, Tokugawa Great Turtle, Hayashi Tongkatsu, Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, Monkey Kinoshita Toyoshiro Hideyoshi and others finally left this room. Everyone began to act separately with a tacit understanding, as if they had already finalized some kind of secret plan.
"Ahh It's the main hall of the house! β
"It's the main hall of the head of the family! It's so beautiful! β
"Beside her is His Royal Highness Oda King Heavenly Evil!"
When the violent overage pseudo-Lori brought a group of people, family elders, and important ministers to the venue of the game, tens of thousands of onlookers gave a warm cheer.
When the elders and important ministers saw this scene, they put down the big stone in their hearts. Originally, they were worried that if they wanted to recognize a princess as the head of the family in this troubled era of the Warring States, the townspeople below would break out into riots.
At this point, the generals of the Oda family are completely relieved that they are loyal to the violent overage pseudo-Lori who revealed the identity of the princess a few days ago.
"Long live the Oda family! Long live the main hall of the head of the family! Long live the Oda family! Long live the main hall of the head of the family! β¦β¦β
When the violent overage pseudo-Lori came to her seat, all the contestants also began to cheer. It wasn't until the violent overage pseudo-Lori stood in her seat and raised her hands that everyone slowly quieted down.
Today's violent overage pseudo-Lori is wearing a light blue samurai uniform, with two large knives and a rib at her waist, which looks heroic, and the white wooden fan in her hand shows her nobility.
At this time, the master of ceremonies, who was in charge of the emcee, was already calling for sixty-four strong men who had stood out from nearly 2,500 contestants to come to both sides of the competition venue to prepare.
"Heavenly Evil, which one do you like?" After the violent overage pseudo-Lori sat down, she pointed to the competition venue not far away, and looked at Wang Tianxie with a smile.
"What do you think of the prisoner called Aochi and Emon? Although he used to be a murderer, he should be considered good based on his size and complexion. Wang Tianxie looked at the Hercules who were splitting into two sides, and smiled and pointed at one of the Hercules who was rubbing his hands.
"Oh, the prisoner! Monkey, you bring the background of the green ground and the right emon. No, go and bring all the information of these sixty-four people. After listening to Wang Tianxie's words, the violent overage pseudo-Lori turned her head and ordered the monkey Kinoshita Tojiro who was sitting behind her.
Today's seat is centered on the violent overage pseudo-Lori, with Wang Tianxie on the left and the Tokugawa Great Tortoise on the right, and the three of them form a row. Wang Tianxie and the Tokugawa Great Tortoise are both members of the Oda family, so they are indeed qualified to sit in a row with the violent overage pseudo-Lori.
Behind the three of them are the old family members Shibata Katsuie, Sakuma Nobumori, Niwa Nagahide, Kinoshita Toyoshiro Hideyoshi, Takigawa Kazuki, Sasa Narumasa, Tsutsui Shunkei and others. Now, of course, the monkey Kinoshita Tojiro is running to the guest room, so the fifth seat in the second row is vacant. As for those who sit behind the third row, there are important ministers at home, as well as generals and generals who are subordinate generals.
Everyone watched the action in the ring intently, preparing to recruit candidates who had the potential to become the next generation of generals of the Oda family after the match. (To be continued......)
