Maeda Toshiya came out of the castle tower with a heavy heart.

Although Oda Nobunaga was tolerant on his face, he should have a plan in his heart and would never let Owari Spo continue to expand.

Tolerating the existence of Owari Spo was Oda Nobunaga's political consideration to show goodwill to Spo Yoshigin.

But that doesn't mean she'll let Owari expand as she pleases, and use her Mino strategy to gain more territory.

If she really did that, she didn't want to gain the favor of the Spo family, but to fight for the Spo family.

Oda Nobunaga is not that stupid.

Without a new opportunity, Maeda Toshiya would have been trapped in the mountains south of Owari and would have no chance to display his talents.

This is when she joined Spo Yoshigin, Oda Nobunaga's revenge on her, and there is nowhere to use her martial arts and wisdom.

Actually, she didn't care how Oda Nobunaga embarrassed her, that person's style of acting had been clearly seen after many years of following.

The most is the most rewarding.

What she was uncomfortable with was how to increase her weight in Yiyinjun's heart if she couldn't continue to expand her territory.

Far away in Owari, she has already suffered a loss in this battle, and if she can't use the big profit transaction that the nearby Jispo family can't ignore.

How could the Spo retainers be willing to let her into the fold, and how could the arrogant Yiyinjun look down on her.

I'll have to figure out how to figure it out.

———

These days, Ashikaga Yoshiki is very happy.

In the first half of her life, she followed the rules, although she had no shortage of food and clothing, and her status was noble, she was also burdened with a lot of pressure and expectations that exceeded ordinary people.

I'm tired of being alive.

With the matter of Si Bo Yiyin and the bull of the Great Imperial Terrace, it is also something that has never been done before, and in addition to wandering, there is also some rebellious pleasure.

ignores political affairs and indulges in the sword room, but also takes advantage of the momentum to vent his emotions.

She's too depressed.

said that she is the lord of the world, but who in the world really takes her seriously?

The lips are loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but the heart is full of their own interests, and there is no good thing in the world.

Especially that Si Bo Yiyin, who actually refused to marry, so that she didn't know what to do with him!

Today, it's the day of the swordsmanship competition again.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru shook off those worries and smiled at the swordsmen who were concentrating on meditation and bent on showing their faces in front of her.

Only here can she let go of all her worries and enjoy a moment of purity.

At this time, the swordsman Dabi was still dominated by real swords.

Although the new Yin Stream of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna advocated the replacement of the real sword with a bamboo sword to reduce the danger of the competition, it was difficult for the swordsmen to accept it for a while.

Although on the surface, everyone thinks that swordsmen should put life and death aside, and use real swords to prevaricate with warriors.

But are they really not afraid of death? Not necessarily.

Xinyinliu admires bamboo swords, and his own children compete with bamboo swords.

The feel and weight of this bamboo sword are far from the real sword.

Swordsmen of other genres are not familiar with bamboo swords, and when they are used, they are bound to be no match for the new Yin stream swordsmen.

All the world's dealings are driven by interests. Everyone is counting on swordsmanship for a living, how can you give up the real knife you are used to and use your new Yin Stream bamboo sword instead.

In the two generations of the new Yin Stream, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and Yagyu Soyan were successively swordsmanship teachers, and they were highly valued by Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

But it is also difficult to change the knives used in this sword room.

This is human nature, mercenary, not afraid of life and death.

Today's Dabi, Yanagi Zongyan always had some ominous premonitions in her heart, and she glanced at Takada Yukino, who was sitting silently in the corner.

Under her deliberate indulgence, the words of the swordsmen these days are much more presumptuous.

In the sword room, the new Yin stream swordsmen are the leaders, but there are also many swordsmen from other genres. There are a few people who are frivolous, and they don't have a doorkeeper in the first place.

She looked around at the scene.

The general sat on his seat, smiling, and the swordsmen sat in a circle around him, all eager to try.

"Dabi begins!"

As Yagyu Sogen drank down, a swordsman got up and walked into the middle of the field and bowed to the general.

At this time, Dabi does not have so many rules, it is nothing more than you do it.

It's just that the sword room of the imperial palace is the residence of the general, and it is generally pointed, and there is no such ferocity as the blood splashed on the spot of the local martial artist.

In order for a swordsman to gain a foothold in the local area, he must win the swordsmanship contest of the local lord in order to gain favor and open a dojo.

So, all the big players are competitors.

The shot is vicious, robbing the job, and it is also the survival of the genre, which is the most cruel.

And both sides of the big competition in the sword room are holding the general's position, and they have food to eat if they win, and they can't starve to death if they lose, and they don't have the determination to meet on a narrow road.

Yanagi Zongyan's pupils tightened, because she saw Takada Yukino stand up and walk into the entrance.

The general looked at her with interest and bowed to her.

For her, this Takada Yukino is also an interesting swordsman.

The swordsmen who can enter the shogunate are all leaders in swordsmanship, but no matter how good the swordsmanship is, it is also a small way.

The samurai righteous path is a battle formation, and the swordsmen who operate the way of the sword, they are just swordsmanship instructors or secret agents raised by high-level martial artists.

In other words, it has no status, and it is just an eagle dog that pleases the director.

In the sword room, sword training is secondary, and the most important thing is to please the general, and getting the general's favor is the foundation of the swordsmen's foothold.

And Takada Yukino is always cold, does not interact with people, and is respectful and keeps a distance from the general.

Every day, I wield a sword.

This kind of pure swordsman makes the general look pleasing to the eye, and often pulls her to practice wielding the sword together.

This caused the disgust of many swordsmen.

Everyone is out to eat, what are you pretending to be obsessed with kendo, and finding another way to attract the attention of the general, you are really scheming.

And because she doesn't participate in interpersonal interactions, she is excluded from the circle of swordsmen, and there are many people who slander her behind her back.

It's just that Sibo's family is powerful, and everyone can't afford to offend, so they still don't provoke her on the face.

Some background of Ji samurai, who is willing to work full-time as a swordsman. Isn't it better to go into battle and be rewarded with public favors than to entertain people with a sword?

In this industry, most of them are low-born ronins who can't afford to offend high-ranking nobles.

Bang bang.

The two of them bowed face to face just now, and the swordsman opposite pulled out his sword, and he was already stabbed in the back of his hand by Xue Nai's sword, and he abandoned the sword in pain.

The man was also calm and gave a salute.

Xue Nai's sword was as fast as lightning, and when he saw a flash of white light, the other party was already defeated, and the general couldn't help but applaud.

The swordsmen joined in and applauded. Yanagi Zongyan applauded and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Takada Yukino still knows how to measure.

After that, the scene was a little colder, and no one dared to compete in the sword again.

The general frowned.

What do these swordsmen mean, whether they can beat or not is a matter of ability, and it is really a shame that they don't even have the courage to play.

Yanagi Zong Yan saw that the general's face was displeased, and he wondered in his heart whether Xue Nai's sword just now could be caught safely.

At this time, Xue Nai bowed to the general, and everyone thought she was going to sit back.

Who knows, she said.

"Lord Gongfang, none of the sword rooms are my opponents, so it's better for me to order ten people to fight together, so it's a fair fight."

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's face was stiff, and the swordsmen here were all carefully selected by her and served by her side.

Now that Xue Nai is alluding to waste, she doesn't want to be a general?

The surrounding swordsmen were even more angry, and Gao Tian Xue was going to smash their jobs, and she couldn't bear it.

The general also wanted to teach her a lesson, and sneered.

"Since you're so confident, let's pick it yourself."

Yukino bowed to the general and pointed at the swordsmen to knock out their opponents one by one.

Yanagi Zongyan's face sank.

Those ten people are the most unscrupulous swordsmen who insult Qian Xingong these days.

She looked at the general in horror, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, and her clenched palms were sweaty.

Yukino Takada, you have to fit in.

This is the Imperial Palace!
