As Rantaro had predicted, on the second day, there were rumors that Mizuno Nobuhisa had an affair with the goddess of the Kumaban. In order to avoid his sister's reputation being slandered, Rantaro also spread rumors that his sister was "dead".

And so, a few days passed.

On this day, after Mizuno Nobu's accident, the lord of Kariya Castle, Mizuno Shimono Nobumoto, who had never been in contact, actually sent a messenger, a man in his thirties, who had never been seen by Rantaro before.

Walking into the bear mansion full of bush clover flowers, the envoy was probably worried about the poor etiquette, so he deliberately straightened his collar. When he came to the academy, he sat opposite Rantaro: "Akutagawa Higashima came to visit!" ”

After arrogantly reporting his name, the envoy babbled about how his lord Shimono Mamoru was thinking about Rantaro. "My lord is wiser than his ancestors, and he will be deeply honored to be remembered by such a generation of masters." He told Sù Rantaro in a tone that could not be refused, and Mamoru Shimono wanted to invite him to the castle to enjoy chrysanthemums.

Rantaro was expressionless, and said, "Please tell Lord Shimono, there happened to be something wrong here, and please choose another good day." ”

The messenger's eyes widened. Although Rantaro is exempt from paying the annual tax, he is also a lord of Mizuno. The fact that he dared to refuse the invitation of the lord of the city made the messenger unbelievable: "I am very surprised. My lord specially instructed and sent me down. If the gentleman refuses, it is rude. Please sir, be sure to push off the agreement! ”

Rantaro said coldly: "Then, isn't it rude to push back the previous agreement?" ”

"It varies from person to person. Now it's the lord of the city who invites you. ”

"Then I will say to the people, this is the order of the city lord, please forgive me." Rantaro high-fives and calls for the goddess. Smiled at the messenger. "Prepare to send a messenger. Let's just say that Mizuno-sama ordered the cancellation of the fifteen-day sacrifice. ”

He said calmly, "Send an envoy to the Lord of the Oda family." ”

"Huh?" The messenger suddenly changed color. "Ah, no, wait!"

He stopped the goddess who was about to retreat, "The person who made an agreement with you is the lord of the Oda family?" ”

Rantaro avoided the other party's gaze and looked at the bush clover flower in the courtyard. The figure of her sister Yu Guo appeared in front of her. My sister's revenge is bound to be avenged. Thinking of this, he suddenly began to get bored with himself - sarcastic sarcasm to the mere messenger to show his resentment towards Shin Yuan. It's too narrow-minded.

Rantaro then looked at the pale emissary and said with a smile, "If you break the appointment with Lord Oda because of Mamoru Shimono's order, I'm afraid that Lord Shimono Mamoru will be in trouble." Mamoru Shimono ordered him to go down, and there must be something. Okay, I'll go with you today. ”

He looked back at the goddess and said lightly, "Okay, it's okay." ”

The envoy of Mamoru Shimono took a step ahead of Taro and hurried back to the city.

Rantaro led the horse out of the bear mansion, and the autumn colors were in full view, and Mt. Fuji was visible in the distance. Blue sky and white clouds. Wild chrysanthemums bloom at your feet. The war has been going on for a hundred years...... It's incredible though, but in the autumn colors. A few ragged civilians are proof of that. The people have come to believe that war will not disappear from this world. The peace of the Heian Dynasty and the Nara Dynasty can only appear in dreams, and this world is forever full of suffering. If this world is a cycle of suffering, then having children is a sin, and being born in the world is a disaster. Rantaro rode on his horse and couldn't help but sigh.

In the territory of the Golden Fetus Temple, the birds are singing gracefully, and the ears of rice are swaying heavily in the wind. The pine trees in the samurai's mansion are full of foliage, and all kinds of grass seem to enjoy the joy of life. Why is it only humans who are suffering? It's incredible, but it's not surprising. Everything in the world must conform to the laws of nature, but human beings forget that their lives are given by God. They act arbitrarily, divide into hierarchies, seize land, kill and hate ...... When will humanity become aware of its ignorance? Thinking that the chaos in the world seemed to be endless, Rantaro sighed again.

The Buddha asserted that there are disputes in the world because people have desires, so he voluntarily gave up his position and power. The same was true of the royal family, who used sacrifices to express their reverence for nature. And this wisdom is now obscured by dark clouds. Not only do men fight for every inch of land, but they also turn all those who are born equal into vassals and servants, and firmly control them. In this world, there are relatives, masters and slaves, will the plants, trees, mountains and rivers, birds and beasts be divided into masters and slaves......

Just thinking of this, several samurai with guns stood in front of Rantaro, "Dismount!" What do you think this is! ”

Rantaro was shocked to realize that he had arrived at the main gate of Kariya Castle. From here, you can reach the main castle through Nido Castle and Mido Castle, which is nearly ten towns. When Mizuno Tadamasa was there, there was no need to dismount here. Mamoru Shimono began to be arrogant. Benevolence, which regarded all the people as precious, has been replaced by martial arts. But many people still think they can benefit from it and rush to follow it.

Rantaro dismounted, threw the reins to the other party, leisurely untied the hakama, and peed on the moat. The retainers had never seen such a bold person, and they couldn't help but look at each other.

Shimononobu Motomo received Rantaro at the newly built Daishoin.

"Rantaro, you haven't changed at all. Could it be that there is a recipe for immortality? Mizuno Nobugen squinted, pretending to be very concerned, and then branched out of the people around him.

"Huh." Rantaro just smiled faintly.

"I used to go to bother you, but I still miss Yuguo."

Rantaro didn't answer, just looked at the verdant miscanthus on the new partition door.

"I think of you and want to enjoy chrysanthemums with you...... But it's frustrating to hear that you've made an appointment with someone. Mamoru Shimono continued to whisper: "It's a pity for Yu Guo! ”

Rantaro stared at Nobumoto sharply. There was neither hatred nor pity in his fixed eyes, and they were as calm as water.

"I ...... If she had been a little more cautious, she might have married into the city by now. Alas, it's not the fault of Yu Guo alone, it's Fujikuro's unscrupulous boy......"

Rantaro Fang Jue Xinyuan is pitiful. Can he really be relieved that he repeats such a lie?

Seeing that Rantaro's expression was as calm as water, Mizuno Nobumoto leaned forward and held Fuji.

"No, you can't blame Fujikuro for that. He must not know my relationship with Yu Guo. It can only be blamed on the national ...... But Yu Guo is still too pitiful. Every time I go to see chrysanthemums, I think of her. In the fragrance of white flowers, her soul ......"

"Your Excellency."

"Oh?"

"What do you tell me when you come to me?"

"Look at me, I've forgotten for a while. We are all very sad about the affairs of the country. However, today's events are not unrelated. ”

"Adults are talking about ......"

"You love your sister, and so do I." Shimono Mamoru lowered his voice and said, "I have something to ask for." ”

Rantaro was silent.

Immediately, Mizuno Nobumoto lowered his voice again and said a few words to Rantaro.

"Forgiveness is hard to follow!" Before Mamoru Shimono finished speaking, Rantaro had already changed color.

"You?"

"It's hard to obey your fate."

"Humph! I'm not done yet! ”

"If you don't say it, you know it below."

"How do you know?"

"The gods informed."

Mamoru Shimono snorted. He was already impatient, and he was not annoyed when he was not finished talking for a long time, but he was rejected? "Oh? The gods told me that if that was the case, I would be helpless, who would make you a servant of the gods. ”

"Exactly."

"Alright, get out! But, Rantaro, do you think you can continue to live in my domain? ”

"It's not in your territory."

"What do you say? Thou hast not dwelt in my territory? ”

Rantaro burst out laughing. Yu Guo's figure appeared in front of him, and the resentment in his heart suddenly exploded. The gods created the land for man, not for a single person. As soon as someone tried to take this communal land for private use, the gods would punish him with war. However, even if he told Sù Shimono Mamoru about this now, he would not understand.

"Even Lord Oda was exempt from the annual tax for the land he owned...... That's all I want to talk about next. Ha ha...... Forgive me for being rude and farewell! Rantaro bowed respectfully and stood up.

Mamoru Shimono's eyes widened in anger as he stared at Rantaro's back. He clenched his teeth and clapped his hands. Before the personal guard could enter, he had already stood up sharply and hurried out.

Mizuno Nobumoto's side was furious, but Rantaro's side was indeed very happy, and after returning to his residence, he quickly found Kato Duanzo, who was temporarily hiding here.

"Your Excellency, that guy Mizuno Nobumoto actually invited me to the city today. That guy really had other ideas, and even hoped that he could help him spread rumors, and secretly pointed out that you were coercing him to switch to the Imagawa family, and it seems that this guy still wants to get help from the Oda family. ”

"Oh?" Kato Duanzang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "So? ”

"Yes, I have secretly handed over those poisons to a maid lurking beside Mizuno Nobumoto, and I believe that Mizuno Nobumoto will die soon." Rantaro said with a sinister smile.

"Okay." Kato Duanzang also looked a little happy after hearing this.

"Your Excellency, I heard that the son of Mizuno Nobukin seems to have disappeared recently?"

"Huh." After hearing Rantaro's words, Kato Duanzo instantly understood what Rantaro meant, so he nodded with a smile and said, "What you expected, this son has been invited by me to be a guest." ”

"Oh? Don't...... It's just that this son may not be willing to cooperate! After getting confirmation from Kato Duanzo, Rantaro was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the other party's purpose, so he immediately said.

"Hehe, it's okay!" Kato Duanzo said with a smile. With the twenty tortures of the Luo family's intelligence cabinet, no matter how tough that son is, after trying it, he will definitely cooperate obediently.

At the same time, Kato Duanzo also said to himself in his heart: "Since this is the case, then everything is ready, and it is time to inform the lord of the government." ”
