Palaces, mountains and forests, and hot springs are all in the background, and the new cherry blossom palace is like a large Chinese garden, with beautiful scenery everywhere, making people forget to return.

Long Tao strolled through the forest, looking at a group of female relatives of the Oda family who were strolling and enjoying the scenery not far away, Kinoshita Toyoshiro followed him respectfully, and the Maeda Toshiya had returned to Kiyoshu Castle to report to Nobunaga.

"Kinoshita-sama, who do you think is stronger, me or Nobunaga?" Long Tao asked suddenly.

Hideyoshi was stunned, obviously not expecting Long Tao to ask such a direct question.

"Judging from the current achievements, it is natural that you are strong."

"Then Kinoshita-sama is interested in serving under my command?"

Long Tao stared at Hideyoshi and smiled slightly, if he agreed, then the plot could be over.

Hideyoshi's eyes widened, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for your attention, I am really grateful!" However, Oda Nobu-sama promoted Zai Xia from a peasant to his current status, and Zai Xia will never leave him until he repays his great kindness! ”

"Hehe, Kinoshita-sama is even more admirable."

Long Tao smiled, it seems that the origin still has a certain blessing for the two protagonists, Nobunaga and Monkey, and now it is not possible to directly change the fate of the two.

At this time, Long Tao heard a group of female dependents of the Oda family talking about himself in the distance, and he couldn't help but listen intently.

Nobunaga's wife, Guidie, said, "It turns out that this Ashikaga Yoshiji-sama is really the same as rumored, a ...... He's a merry character! Look at this cherry blossom palace, only those young and beautiful witches, I'm afraid there are two or three hundred, and there are many beautiful women who don't know their identities, which adds up, no less than four or five hundred, this is just like the three palaces and six courtyards of the Emperor of Middle-earth! ”

The wife of the Li family, Ah Song, sighed: "When Madame said this, I found that the architectural layout here is still in the Middle-earth style. Suddenly glanced at Ah Shi and asked, "Is it okay for Miss Ah Shi to marry such a romantic person?" ”

Ah Shi sighed quietly: "Among those great names today, except for that Uesugi Huihu, who doesn't have many wives and concubines?" Turning his head to look at Gui Die, "Brother, doesn't he also have a lot of concubines, and sister-in-law didn't say anything?" ”

Mrs. Guidie smiled slightly, but did not speak.

Hideyoshi's wife, Ning Ning, covered her mouth and smiled, "If this Ashikaga-sama is really as rumored, then Miss Aichi may be very happy!" How strong does a man who sleeps with more than 20 shrine maidens have to be in one night? If Miss Aichi made his main room, she would definitely be very happy when she got married! ”

Ah Song frowned and said, "What did Mrs. Ning Ning say!" Miss Ashi is a girl who is not yet married, how can she say such a thing in front of her? ”

Ning Ningge smiled, "That's what it was!" Moreover, Ashikaga-sama is also a rare handsome person, much more handsome than the monkey in my family, and more beautiful than the Toshi-sama of your family! However, there is one thing that is very worrying, I saw a lot of Nanban women in the palace just now, and Ashikaga-sama must have learned some strange Nanban tricks from them, but I am afraid that after getting married, I will use these strange tricks on Miss Aichi......"

"What? The more you talk about it, the more you go too far! Ah Song interrupted her, gave her a blank look, and then couldn't help but laugh.

They were a hundred paces away from Long Tao and Hideyoshi, and although they saw Long Tao from afar, they never imagined that he would be able to hear their conversation.

Long Tao walked straight with Hideyoshi, and when the ladies saw him approaching, they all bowed down and saluted.

"Miss Ashi." Long Tao looked directly at Ah Shi, "Brother Nobunaga is going to marry you, do you know?" ”

Ah Shi was stunned, he didn't expect him to ask so directly, his beautiful face was slightly red, and he nodded: "I know." ”

"Miss Ashi is willing?"

Ah Shi replied quietly: "As a woman from a martial arts family, marriage has always been arranged by the family, whether you want it or not, Ah Shi will obey the arrangement of her brother." He raised his eyes and looked at Long Tao for a moment, and continued: "It is Aichi's luck to be able to marry a hero like Ashikaga-sama!" ”

"Okay, after we get married, you will be the mistress of this Sakura Palace!"

"Nope." Ah Shi shook his head, "If Lord Yi really marries Ah Shi, I hope you don't leave me in this Sakura Palace, Ah Shi is willing to always accompany the Lord and fight with you!" ”

Long Tao looked at her firm gaze, nodded and said, "It's okay, if I marry Miss, I will be reluctant to part with you." ”

Ah Shi blushed and hung his head silently, and several ladies couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking that this person was really charming, no wonder so many women were fascinated by him.

At this time, a shrine maiden walked over quickly, "Yoshi-sama, the elder of the Hojo family, Kenhide Matsuda, is here and wants to see you." ”

"Kenhide Matsuda? Bring him here. A smile rose at the corner of Long Tao's mouth.

Even the Warring States heroic Hojo family has begun to act, and the impact of this move of humble faith is really big enough.

The Uesugi family has been in a state of hostility with the Hojo family because of the former Kanto governor Uesugi Constitutionalism, and the two sides have been fighting from time to time.

After a while, the bearded Matsuda Kenhide walked over, knelt down in front of Long Tao, and said, "Matsuda Kenhide has seen Ashikaga-sama!" ”

Matsuda Kenxiu in front of him, is the first person with a famous brand that Long Tao met after entering this world, as the elder of the Hojo family, he has always had contempt for the Ashikaga Yoshishi who ate and drank together, but at this moment he bowed respectfully at his feet, and there was no longer the proud appearance of the year, Long Tao couldn't help but be in a trance, unconsciously, it has been eight or nine years since he entered the Taiko world.

Matsuda Kenhide is also sighing in his heart, it has only been less than ten years, and the public waste boy who was ridiculed in Odawara no Town, has grown into a strong party that he has to prostrate on the ground, and the world has changed, it is really unpredictable!

"It's Matsuda-sama, what's the matter with me? Are you here to give you a monthly payment? Long Tao asked with a smile.

Matsuda Kenhide smiled embarrassedly, "Don't dare, Ashikaga-sama said it was funny!" On behalf of my father-in-law, Yasu-sama Hojo, I have come to ask my lord, Ashikaga-sama and my young lady have grown up, can we complete the marriage contract of the year? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Oda family couldn't help but change their faces, and they all looked at Long Tao, but they didn't expect Long Tao to have a marriage contract.

Long Tao smiled indifferently: "I did have a marriage contract with your young lady, but I'm sorry, I have decided to marry Miss Aichi of the Oda family, if Lord Hojo Yasu-sama doesn't mind, you can send my daughter to be my side room." ”

"Make a side room! You asked my dignified young lady of the Hojo family to be the side room? ”

Matsuda Kenhide was shocked and stood up, but everyone in the Oda family was secretly relieved.

Long Tao smiled: "To be honest, I have never seen your young lady, I don't know if it is beautiful or ugly, and it is a little difficult to promise her to be a side room!" ”

Matsuda Kenhide said angrily: "Ashikaga Yoshishi, don't deceive people too much!" Hojo-sama just wants to make a choice that is beneficial to both parties, don't think that our Hojo family is afraid of you! ”

Long Tao sneered: "Lord Matsuda, you are so short-tempered, it is very inappropriate to be this marriage envoy, go back and tell Hojo Shiyasu, I will make your Hojo family afraid of me!" ”

If you want to suppress the Kanto, it is a matter of time before you start a war with the Hojo family, so Long Tao will be so unkind to Matsuda Kenhide, in fact, the Hojo family has not done anything excessive to the Ashikaga Yoshi, and has also paid for him to support a declining son, however, the Hojo family has also done a lot of things to expand their territory in the name of his princess, compared to this, the little money spent on the Ashikaga Yoshishi is nothing.

The two can be said to have no grievances, but in this troubled era of the Warring States, fighting is only for profit, and it has never been related to grievances.

Matsuda Kenhide's affair sounded the alarm for the Oda family, and as soon as the inauguration ceremony of the Sakura Palace ended, Aichi and Long Tao held a wedding, and Oda Nobunaga personally attended, and the two parties officially formed an alliance.

Subsequently, Nobunaga began the strategy of attacking Mino with confidence, and Long Tao and Aichi enjoyed the happiness of the newlywed in the Sakura Palace.

A month later, news came from Mino's side that the Takenaka Hanbei led 17 men to take Inabayama Castle in order to persuade Saito Ryuko, and then returned the castle and retired to the mountains and forests.

Half a month later, when Hanbei came to vote, Long Tao was overjoyed, and immediately took him to Izumo Province to meet Sanada Masayuki and prepare to start the conquest of the Maori family.
