Chapter 58: Wood Loyalty

"Your Highness has won the prize. I didn't expect my father's bad name to be known to His Royal Highness, this is really my father's honor", hearing that Masayo praised his father as soon as they met, although he was humble in his mouth, in fact, he was proud of his heart, and at the same time, he was secretly frightened that the other party knew his own details, "Compared with His Highness's ability to defeat strong enemies in one day and expand his own territory several times, my father is much inferior." ”

Zhengliang smiled and did not answer directly. In fact, Muzo Shigezhong's sentence is to test whether Masato has already occupied the territory of several families, or even completely destroyed several families, and Masato will definitely not respond positively. Want to know the real situation? Guess for yourself. If it is true that a few families are destroyed in one day, then the Chongliang family will have to face up to the strength of the Luo family, and even more so the consequences of the war between the two families; If you just barely beat a few or even one, then the Chongliang family will come to be a fisherman. But under the unclear situation, does the Chongliang family dare to take the risk of gambling?

Seeing that Masara did not answer positively, Kizo Shigetuda gritted his teeth, and then bowed again and saluted, "Your Highness, I beg forgiveness for the rudeness of the foreign ministers. His Royal Highness made such a feat at such a young age, which really made the foreign ministers admire and make the family feel frightened. What made the minister even more ashamed was that the family didn't even know anything about His Royal Highness's name. "The other party is clear about his own details, but he is completely ignorant of the other party's situation, and Kizo Shigetada has fallen behind from the beginning.

"Hehe, I can't talk about meritorious deeds, I still eat gruel every day. As for the name of the family, it is really difficult to say, so far it is still a small local tyrant, the Luo family Luo Zhengliang", it seems that Muzao Chongzhong failed to test once, and changed to another more direct way, Zhengliang smiled at this, and still said modestly.

Listening to Masahiro's half-truthful reply, Kizo Shigetuda was out of shape for a while. If he could, he would prefer to pull out the sword directly and coerce Zhengliang to comply. But after quietly glancing at the samurai around him, he wisely dismissed the thought.

"By the way, Shigezhong, do you know anything about the tea ceremony?" , Masahiro decided to get a little closer to this young man who made a good impression on him, and at the same time deliberately opened the topic. Now the Luo family needs time to adjust, after two days of running and fighting, the samurai and ashigaru are already quite tired, even if they can barely face the battle, but with these samurai teams that have only been trained for about a month and a half and the ashigaru team that have been trained for less than half a month, how can they resist the strength of more than 300 Chongliang family soldiers?

"Your Highness, when the foreign minister Motofu went out to practice, he once went to Kai Town, and had the honor of participating in the tea party of Takeno Shoou (the master of the famous tea man Sen no Rikyu)," after hearing Masayo's words, Kizo Shigetadada couldn't help but be stunned, and for a while he was overwhelmed by the topic of Masa's heaven, south and north, and after sobering up, he realized the rude just now, and immediately bowed down and replied.

"Okay, I've had the pleasure of listening to Takeno Shoou-sama's tea ceremony today," Masarashi complimented, and then continued, "Shingoro, immediately serve fragrant tea to Lord Shigetada. "The tea art of this era is quite cumbersome, such as the tea leaves should be finely milled, the tea set should be wiped clean, and the flower arrangement should be selected according to the season and the fame, status, generation, age and cultural upbringing of the guests. The host's movements should be standardized and agile, with a dance-like sense of rhythm and elegance, and accurate and in place. All these show respect for the guests and embody the spirit of "harmony and respect". But the problem is that Zhengliang lacks these things now, so Zhengliang keeps everything simple, and the tea set only has a small porcelain pot, and the tea bowl is even replaced by a small bamboo tube. He instructed the surname to fetch sweet spring water from a nearby mountain spring with "Tian Shui" (also a kind of bamboo tube), and then began to make tea in the order in the game in his impression. In the process, Kizo Shigetada's meditation seemed to enter a very high spiritual realm, and at the same time, his heart was also surprised by the novelty of the tea ceremony in front of Masayo, because it was too different from the tea ceremony he had observed in Kaimachi. …,

To be honest, if it had been someone else, I guess I would have walked away by now, which is the authentic tea ceremony of this era. But fortunately, Masato was faced with Kizo Shigetada, in fact, Kizo Shigetadada had only observed the tea ceremony of the tea people of this era from a distance, and he also knew little about the tea ceremony, and the only bit of ink was also heard from the mouth of Takeno Shao Ou that day. As a result, a half-catty tea man and a guest who can be said to be the "Lainiao" of the tea ceremony constituted a peculiar "tea party". Of course, although the tea art of Masashi is not very good, but there are a lot of things that know the Tao, from the tea art of this era to the tea art from later generations, so in the conversation that followed, in addition to the enthusiasm of the master at the beginning, after the wooden Shigetada simply said a little about the tea ceremony, it completely became a stage for Masashi, in this regard, Kizo Shigetada felt that Masashi was deliberately idle and helpless from the beginning, and then gradually felt a little interested in the novelty of Masashi. At the end of the day, it evolved into an admiration for Zhengliang.

"His Royal Highness's perception of the tea ceremony is really unheard of by a foreign minister," said Kizoshige, who bowed down loyally and convincingly.

"Hehe, Chongzhong, I didn't expect you to be able to go to Kaimachi alone to experience it", Masara also praised his experience of training alone, in fact, after a short period of contact, Masara admired this person very much in his heart.

"Your Highness, please forgive the foreign ministers for being rude," Kizo Shigetada straightened his body, bowed and said, "The family sent the foreign minister this time in the hope of mediating the misunderstanding between His Highness and the Kogi family." Inadvertently, more than an hour has passed, and Kizo Shigetada has to put forward the purpose of the bank.

"Your Highness, Xiaomu Dazhong of the Xiaomu family has arrived at the territory of the family and asked the family for help, hoping that the family will come forward to mediate the misunderstanding between the two families." Kizo Shigetada continued.

After hearing Kizo Shigetada's words, the political conscience exhaled a long breath, it turned out that Kogi Dazhong, who had been worried about wandering in the territory, had escaped from the territory, which could barely be regarded as good news. And what Masara doesn't know is that in fact, Kogi Daitada doesn't know the current situation of Kogi's family, but that day his father was killed, the family's troops were defeated, and if the enemy pursues the victory, then the family's territory can be said to be more auspicious, so Kogi Daitada, who fled the battlefield, arranged for a ashigaru to hurry home to report the news, and then took a few samurai to the Chongliang family, who had been conspiring with his family to occupy Fujihei Castle, hoping that the other party could send troops to exert pressure, so as to give the family time to remobilize the scattered forces. Of course, in order to prevent the Chongliang family from taking the opportunity to annex the defeated two families, Kogi Dazhong lied, falsely claiming that although the two families were defeated, they could still hold on to the city. Fortunately, Kogi Daitada acted quickly and fled to the Chongliang family's territory before Masara was busy attacking the two territories and tightly sealing the exit of the territory, otherwise he would have become a turtle in an urn, and he could only wander around in the wilderness to avoid being caught.

"Hehe, the Xiaomu family sent troops to the Tahara family for no reason, and the family sent troops to repel the thieves of the Xiaomu family at the invitation of the Tahara family, how can you misunderstand?" , Zhengliang smiled slightly and said disappreciatively.

"This...", Kizo Shigetada was speechless for a while, the family was under the banner of mediation at the invitation of the Kogi family, and the other party also had the righteousness of the invitation of the Tahara family who was invaded, "Please also ask Your Highness to allow Kogi Daitada to return to Kogi's home city." ”

"Yes, you can tell them that the family will not prevent them from returning to their own territory", Masarashi readily agreed, "However, they are only allowed to pass through the family's territory, and I don't want anyone who is not the Kogi family to pass through the family's territory, so please consider the family's position." At this point, Masara can be regarded as indirectly admitting that he has occupied the territory of the Fujiwara family, of course, in fact, Masato does not need to say it, smart people will know the fact that the territory of the province has changed owners when they look at the military flag at the checkpoint. …,

"Your Highness, this is likely to cause the anger of the family", Kizo Shigeta couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, you have such a request, Xiaomu Dazhong dares to come, maybe as soon as he enters your territory, he will be clicked off. Of course, Kizo Shigezhong, who already had a lot of good feelings towards Masahiro, did not provoke Masayo, but indirectly reminded Masato that the Chongliang family was likely to send troops for this purpose in a sincere tone.

"Ha Lu haha", hearing this, Zhengliang Ha Lu laughed, and then pointed to the surrounding Luo family cloaks and said, "Chongzhong, what do you think of the strength of this family?" ”

Kizo Shigetada looked at the samurai wearing a white eagle-patterned cloak, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sweat profusely. Because he suddenly found that for more than an hour since he entered, the samurai around him had maintained their original standing posture and had not changed at all, what a majesty this was. After listening carefully, I found that after the military tent, there were bursts of training shouts, and the number of people seemed to be large. The other party seems to have made preparations for a long time, and there is even a suspicion that he plans to send troops to his own family. Thinking of this, Kizo Shigetada broke out in a cold sweat and bowed to Masayo, "Your Highness, the foreign minister finally understands why the Kogi family and the Fujiwara family were defeated so quickly. ”

"Hehe, Shigezhong, that mainly depends on the Tahara family's courage to kill the enemy, and the family is just assisting from the side," Masarashi waved his hand to be a little modest, and then said with a smile, "However, please be sure to tell Chongliang Zhizong that I am looking forward to meeting him." "Is Zhengliang deliberately stirring up the anger of Chongliang Zhizong, and then provoking a dispute between the two families? No, from the words of the detective, Zhengliang felt that Chongliang Zhizong was a cunning and suspicious person. After receiving Masaliang's reply, instead of being angry, Chongliang Zhizong would be suspicious and hold his ground for the time being, waiting for the truth to be clarified before making a decision. And this time is enough time for Zhengliang to digest the newly occupied territory and take a breather. When the deer dies, then it will be necessary to have a good battle to know the way.

In this way, Kizo Shigetada ended this mission with a little helplessness.
