Sure enough, the most troublesome thing happened for Gao Xianda. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Imagawa Yoshimoto not only did not die, but also fell into the hands of Oda Nobunaga. But there was no evidence for Kinoshita's empty words and white teeth, and Gao Xianda could not believe him.

"As you said, my father is still alive?" Gao Xianda smiled, "In that case, then you just let him go." He is the head of the family, and what he promised you, he will naturally fulfill. ”

"He said he wouldn't set foot in Owari, that's because he didn't know that Cheongju Castle had fallen into your hands." Kinoshita Tengjiro said, "Lord Yoshimoto's army is like a mountain of defeat, and the retainers below are probably not so loyal." His assurances, I'm afraid, have little effect. I've heard that you're the most brilliant general in this battle, and most of your retainers are convinced of you. You are also the only heir of Lord Yoshimoto, and if the retainers decide to appoint you as the new governor, then Lord Yoshimoto's guarantee will be nothing more than empty words. ”

Harunobu Takeda exiled his father, and Nagamasa Asai exiled his father. At the instigation of the retainers, the son exiled his father and robbed the governor, which was not uncommon in the troubled times of the Warring States.

"You can give it a try, and the results will not be worse than they are now." Gao Xianda smiled, "Actually, for me, my father is still alive is a happier thing than anything else. No matter who instigates it, I will not compete with my father for the position of governor. But the important thing is that my father is alive and healthy. ”

"So, Yoshimoto-sama's life is very important to you, isn't it?" Kinoshita Tengjiro said, "I didn't expect you to be a filial son." Then I'll put it another way, if you are willing to evacuate the siege of Narumi Castle and return Cheongju Castle to us, I can return Lord Yoshimoto to you alive. ”

"The conditions have changed all of a sudden?" Gao Xianda smiled, "I've heard about the exchange of hostages, but I've only heard of one for the other. If you can confirm that my father is still alive, there is no such deep hatred between me and Oda Nobunaga. I am willing to evacuate the defenders of Narumi Castle, and Oda Nobunaga can also serve the Imagawa family as the lord of Narumi Castle. But Cheongju City? Hehe! Nobu-sama's two sons, as well as his wife, Nohime, seem to be under my control, huh? If one person changes one city, I'm afraid you'll have to conquer dozens more cities. As for Kinoshita-sama, if I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a young girl named Nene among the family members in the city......"

Nene is Kinoshita's fiancée. To be precise, Kinoshita Tengjiro was ready to propose to Ninin after this war. Most of the people in Cheongju City already knew about their relationship. So during Gao Xianda's days in Cheongju City, he also investigated this matter.

Gao Xianda proposed it at this moment, which is to make a counter-threat.

"Lord Shizhen is really extraordinary!" Kinoshita Tengjiro said, "Caught my sore spot all at once." ”

But for some reason, Kinoshita's expression didn't look painful at all. Also, he was out to fight and left Ning Ning at home, since Cheongju City had fallen, how could he not know that Ning Ning had fallen into the hands of Gao Xianda? It seems that he was prepared before he came.

Gao Xianda said: "I don't know if it hurts or not, I just know that she seems to be very important to Kinoshita-sama." Since Kinoshita-sama has come as an envoy, I will always give Kinoshita-sama some benefits. I can guarantee that Ning Ning will not touch a single hair of her in Cheongju City. ”

"Oh?" Kinoshita Tengjiro said, "Then thank you." ”

Gao Xianda said: "But my conditions are limited to this. If you let me see that my father is still alive, I will remove the siege of Narumi Castle. As for what my father promised, it was entirely up to him to decide. ”

"IMHO." Kinoshita Tengjiro said, "I seem to have only said that Yoshimoto-sama is still alive, but the problem is that he was indeed attacked by us, and his body is probably ...... Not so healthy. ”

"If he dies, then Oda Nobunaga will pay for his life!" "But if you can get his body out intact, I can still accept the submission of others." ”

Gao Xianda said that, he didn't want to talk to Kinoshita Tengjiro about any more conditions. He has made it very clear that he must see people in life and corpses in death. He didn't want to see any more empty promises.

So he stopped talking. Then he asked the soldiers stationed outside to bring boiling water and tea sets.

"Let's have a drink of water first. Kinoshita-sama has been here for a long time, and he hasn't drunk a sip of hot tea. Gao Xianda then slowly brewed tea in front of Kinoshita Tengjiro.

Although Gao Xianda's tea art is average, his hands are very steady, indicating that his mentality is very stable, and there are no fluctuations due to the life and death of Imagawa Yoshimoto.

"There is no need to doubt Kinoshita-sama's loyalty, but can you tell me how many of the ministers in the city are still loyal to Nobunaga?" "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find anyone, Nobunaga probably wouldn't have sent you a head of the Ashigaru group to negotiate." You should understand that if Oda Nobunaga does not accept my conditions, I will probably kill you. Even now, you're not safe. ”

"The Oda family may not have many others, but there is no shortage of loyal servants. I was only sent here because I happened to be less important. Nobunagato didn't understand the nature of Shin-sama, and I was an insignificant person, so it didn't matter if I died. Kinoshita Tengjiro smiled. After that, he also poured Gao Xian a cup of tea.

His hands are also very steady, and his tea ceremony skills are also very good, and he doesn't care about the threat of Gao Xianda at all.

"This guy has a big heart." Gao Xianda said secretly, "In this case, you can still be calm. He is indeed a talent. ”

So Gao Xianda said again: "If I can, I would like to ask Kinoshita-sama to do me a small favor." ”

"It doesn't sound like a small favor." Kinoshita Tengjiro said.

"For Kinoshita-sama, it's just a gesture." "If Oda Nobunaga refuses to accept my terms, I hope that when Kinoshita-sama returns to Narumi Castle, he will be able to convey this to his ministers." Whoever can send Oda Nobunaga's head will become the lord of Narumi Castle. ”

"I'm afraid this is against the way of my people." Kinoshita Tengjiro said.

"It's okay, it's okay if you don't want to convey it." Gao Xianda said, "It's just a personal request of mine." After all, I think that even if Miss Ning Ning marries, she also wants to marry someone who gets ahead, right? The Lord of a Castle sounds a lot stronger than the head of the Ashigaru group. ”

Gao Xianda: This is once again putting pressure on Kinoshita Tengjiro. He said as if he wanted Ning Ning to marry a city lord, but in fact, he was threatening Kinoshita Tengjiro with Ning Ning's safety.

Kinoshita Tengjiro's hand holding the teacup shook slightly at this time. Could it be that what he was afraid of was Ning Ning's rejection of his marriage proposal?
