Chapter 47: The Real Beginning......

According to Murphy's Law, if something is likely to go wrong, it will always happen, no matter how unlikely that possibility is.

Then the same can also extend a new law, that is, in the communication between people -

If something has the potential to be misunderstood, then it will always be misunderstood.

This is a very speechless and universal phenomenon.

And there's no particularly good workaround. Because people only listen to what they want to hear, there is always a disconnect between the speaker's words and the listener's understanding of them, so that the full meaning is not conveyed.

And the most troublesome thing is that this kind of communication mistakes often occur and are the most likely to occur, and the various problems caused by them can range from simple confusion to troublesome emotional damage, etc., until finally the situation is further complicated and serious.

……

……

Mu Xiu also couldn't avoid such a troublesome problem, after all, even the "main god" said that he couldn't do anything about a skill like "Basic Eloquence LevelMAX".

Moreover, in his opinion, he just got the answer to the question after pointing directly to his heart, and then, after deliberation, he omitted the information and avoided the important to answer it.

And even omitting information isn't because he's weak or anything, it's just to reduce the impact that bad news can cause...... Because Mu Xiu felt that such an answer should not be what Imagawa Yoshimoto was willing to hear.

The reason why the lord of the country has such a reckless performance inexplicably is probably because the concepts and logic she holds are not suitable for speculating on her own style of acting, so she is completely unsure of her purpose, coupled with the psychology of being helpless in a strange environment, the huge pressure of gains and losses makes her urgently need to get a shot of strength-

That's right, what the other party needs should be a more reassuring answer and affirmation.

And that's understandable.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his answer, after all, it was really what he wanted to do, and nothing else.

Even after rethinking and figuring out such a question, Mu Xiu felt that the previous confusion and confusion in his heart, as well as the feeling of having no sense of direction and simply going with the flow, were also swept away in an instant.

Although it is not exaggerated to the point of "feeling that I have rediscovered the direction of life" and "understanding the true meaning of life", it can also be said that it has reached the level of clarity in my heart, and he is no longer confused about his next actions, or he has roughly understood what he should do next.

And the aura on his body was gradually condensing and becoming sharper, as if a sharp sword was slowly unsheathed.

- Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Want to be truly alive?

Chewing on these two meaningful prompts again, Mu Xiu vaguely felt that he felt like laughing.

However, no matter what kind of gains he had at this moment, and what kind of improvement his mental character had, he could not predict what kind of mental activity the Lord of the Kingdom would have after listening to such an answer, so in the same way, he would not know what kind of consequences this would cause.

"Hmm——!!"

It seemed that he was hit by an inexplicable complex feeling all of a sudden, and the heart of the lord of the country was pounding instantly, and his cheeks were completely red all of a sudden. This, this, this- is this a legendary confession?!

“……”

Mu Xiu also paused slightly, and then carefully observed the other party's expression.

If the lord of the kingdom is not satisfied with his vague statement, he will continue to say the next statement. However, what surprised him was that the expected development of the extremely confused expression of the lord of the kingdom did not appear.

And the other party's head was lowered, his cheeks, neck, and ears were red, and he looked obviously cranky.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong, after all, he was not a particularly dull person, so he suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, and subconsciously felt that the other party might have misunderstood something. And if you think about it carefully, the sentence I just said is indeed too vague, and I can understand a variety of meanings.

However, after hesitating for a moment, the boy opened his mouth and finally did not continue on this topic.

He thinks that more things are better than less, if a misunderstanding can make the current situation better, so that the other party no longer thinks crankily and better cooperates with himself, then it seems that such a misunderstanding is not unacceptable?

Thinking so, a strange look flashed in his eyes, so he resolutely kept silent.

Besides, the lord of the country who is so soft and cute now has an extremely strong contrast and contrast with his previous first impression, which is very natural and cute. I don't know if it's because of the arrogance of the Ji Daimyo.,The reason why it can't be maintained in such a depressed situation now.,Or the reason why his true nature is exposed.。

However, compared to it, Mu Xiu still felt that the other party was easy to communicate and easier to talk to.

In the future, it is also possible to use this relationship to better develop some of your own ideas and plans......

“……”

“……”

Suddenly, the nominal monarch and the minister were so silent, and they were speechless for a long time, but the atmosphere was not so embarrassing, but because of this small valley with a beautiful environment and the gurgling stream next to it, there was an inexplicable extra feeling of charm.

However, in fact, it is one side that misunderstands the meaning of the other. The other party knew that the other party had misunderstood, but with some "sinister intentions" and a fear of trouble mentality that did not want to do too much, he not only deliberately chose to turn a blind eye, but also fell into a state of contemplation.

Well, that's right, that's it.

Anyway, I don't have much time left, and isn't there an old saying, "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain".

Mu Xiu thought about it unconsciously, and then nodded thoughtfully, as if he agreed with his thoughts. It's just that he doesn't seem to have considered it at all, it is true that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, but that road may be either a life road or a dead road.

He just cautiously looked at the lord of the country, who was bowed his head and blushing, looking at a loss. After determining that the girl would not return to her normal thinking ability for the time being, she felt that she was actually relieved, and then frowned and began to check the changes that had just occurred in herself-

Because he seemed to have a sense of enlightenment just now, he suddenly had a sense of understanding about his own armed color domineering and swordsmanship mastery.

It's strange, could it be said that the change in mood is really also linked to strength?

Vaguely remembering some of the words about the power of the mind in the information related to the liberation of the forbidden area of life, Mu Xiu couldn't help but have such doubts. It's just that he doesn't have the qualifications to verify the description of the fourth stage later, so he can only think about it.

……

……

A series of hurried horses' hooves.

Oda Shinna, who rode a horse and wore a red cloak, personally led an army to pursue the fleeing target.

For this reason, she has even gathered all the centaurs who can be integrated at present, scattered in all directions, and began to encircle and intercept them through various means, intending to form an encirclement before the other party escapes back to the border of Mikawa. And for this reason, she abandoned all other affairs, so that she ignored the fact that there were many independent armies of the Imagawa Army running rampant in the territory of Owari.

Because she knows that there is only one chance, and the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils is more applicable at this moment.

After all, as long as she successfully kills or captures the core daimyo of the Imagawa clan, Imagawa Yoshimoto, then all the difficulties she is currently facing are no longer difficulties, and if she uses it well, she may even take advantage of this opportunity to directly ascend to the throne, even if she is almost the weakest Owari today, she can become the strongest in the Warring States.

Otherwise, even if he successfully took advantage of such an opportunity to defeat the other Imagawa armies and let Imagawa Yoshimoto escape back, then Owari would only be able to solve a temporary emergency at most, and there would still be a world of difference between the crushing strength of the Imagawa clan, a famous Suruga family.

Moreover, the success of this time to stop Imagawa Yoshimoto Kamiraku and defeat the first bow of Tokaido with Owari Kokuni, although it was a morale-boosting deed for the Oda army, it would definitely not make the Imagawa clan have any fear of the Oda family.

On the contrary, this behemoth will only retaliate more ferociously, turning the Owari Oda family into ashes and dissipating into the history of this era, and it is with such determination and action that the shame can be washed away.

As soon as she thought of this, her eyes became sharper, revealing amazing courage.

This majestic Daimyo believes that he has seen the future, and sees the path he should move forward in the midst of this storm, which is both a crisis of destruction and an opportunity for rise. As for the fact that the actions he took were not recognized by the mainstream ideology, it was not at all in line with the spirit of bushido......

The related ideas have long been directly abandoned by her.

After 50 years of life, can you master what you want in a life that sticks to the common way?

However, on top of the grandeur that no one can see, certain changes have quietly taken place, and even the fate that has been linked to it has also changed. After all, according to the theory of the butterfly effect, the result of the development of things is extremely sensitive to the initial conditions.

A very small deviation in the initial conditions can cause a huge difference in the results - the arrival of the time-traveler does not change history without any changes. It's just that the meaning of existence of the first time-traveler is to maintain "history", but the arrival of the second time-traveler shatters the meaning of existence of the first.

Maybe it's because Mu Xiu just came to this world before and directly killed Sagara Yoshiharu, so the historical trajectory of this world has unconsciously appeared some unknown deviations.

For example, because there was no interference from monkeys, the meeting between Oda Shinna, the "princess of Owari's fools", and Saito Michizo, the "Mino pit viper", was still successfully held, and it went quite smoothly, but it did not reach the level of the original book.

At least the blatant concession did not appear, and the two sides only temporarily concluded a neutral pact and reached a consensus.

Therefore, Saito Michizo has not really made up his mind completely, and at such a critical juncture as Owari being overwhelmed by a large army, and because of the dissatisfaction of his nominal heir, Saito Yoshiryu, he can only stand still for the time being, and has no intention of letting Mino send troops to support Owari.

However, although it is still turbulent, compared to the original book, he was directly raised by Saito Yoshiryu with the intention of killing his father and usurping the throne, and he simply didn't know how much friendlier he was.

Also, perhaps in order to counterbalance the powerful, dangerous, capable, and not entirely trustworthy Mu Xiu at the time, Imagawa Yoshimoto did not send Matsudaira Motoyasu out to maliciously use it as in the original book, and by the way weakened Mikawa's power when attacking the Oda army.

So far, Matsudaira Motoyasu has not yet given birth to the courage and determination to take the opportunity to betray the Imagawa clan, and Hattori Hanzo has not been instructed by the conspiracy to deliberately confront the Imagawa family.

These major changes are unknown, but the details are even more detailed.

……

……

The days on the run can be described as fulfilling, monotonous and boring.

Mu Xiu knew very well that there must be pursuers chasing after the two of them, but he was not in a hurry, but was still very cautious and cautious, seeking stability rather than speed. Any so-called "shortcuts" that he felt were dangerous would be rejected.

Therefore, basically, they just kept moving and approaching the border of Mikawa, but the speed was not very commendable, and they did not have the boldness of just leaving the Barrel Sayama Mountain that day, and then immediately racing at the fastest speed, relying on manpower to run hundreds of miles in an hour.

But the boy knew that this matter was in a hurry, and if he fell into another danger in order to take a shortcut, and it was difficult to get out, it would be the most unprofitable. If the so-called "shortcut" is really easier to follow than the main road, then it is not a "shortcut".

After all, no one is stupid and knows how to choose.

Moreover, the lord of the kingdom himself told him about the military knowledge of horses - horses that sprint with all their strength can only last less than half an hour, and even the best horses have to rest, otherwise it will only be the consequence of taking a small life.

Even with such a strong financial resource of the Imagawa family, there is no way to raise a large number of war horses, and the Oda family is even more impossible, so judging from Mu Xiu's speed, unless a cavalryman brings several horses to rotate constantly, he has to die half of it before it is possible to catch up with him.

So I understood that I was a teenager who was deceived by the impression left by those previous film and television works, and after I understood it, I no longer felt too anxious about it.

What he really cared about was that he couldn't determine the direction and distance of the movement of the other Imagawa troops in the Owari territory, so he could only run directly to Mikawa. But the state of the road in this era is really bad, and he can only confirm a general direction, so he has taken a lot of unjust roads-

For example, if he encounters a big river, canyon or something, he can only take a long detour, and he can't fly directly over it.

This slowed down the speed between the two invisibly, and also gave the Oda army a last chance, in the invisible area, the encirclement is gradually forming, just see if they can successfully intercept these two people before Mu Xiu crosses the last border line.

However, even if he was vaguely aware of such a fact, Mu Xiu did not change his plan, but proceeded more steadily step by step.

He arranged the time for traveling, hunting, and resting every day, and even increased the time for "training" in these two days—not only his own training, but also the cultivation courses of the Lord of the Kingdom.

In a clearing among the trees, Mu Xian was guiding the practice of the black straight girl:

“…… All human beings are born with some kind of latent power, which is the same as "momentum" and "deterrence", which exists like instinct...... However, the vast majority of people are not aware of this power, or they will not be able to use it in their lifetime......"

That's right, he is teaching the Lord of the Nation the ability to master domineering cultivation.

Mu Xiu himself did not systematically cultivate domineering, but directly obtained the power endowment from the "main god", and relied on the passive effect of the liberation of the forbidden area of life, and directly mastered the ability of domineering. But the indoctrination of the Great Light Ball is not only that, although he has not systematically cultivated the process of stimulating domineering, it does not mean that he has not mastered that kind of technique.

Teaching it to the lord of the kingdom was another important decision he had made after discovering that the girl had mastered the art of breath masking.

He was very suspicious of how outstanding the girl's talent was, considering that one law can be used in a hundred ways, if Imagawa Yoshimoto can successfully master the domineering power of the armed color and the color of seeing and hearing, it is not impossible to gradually stimulate and awaken the qualification of the overlord color in the future.

Or, rather, the conditions that the Lord of the Kingdom currently has are much better than those of him, who has little time in this world, and is more able to prove the feasibility of that plan through practice.

Merely......

Mu Xiu didn't seem to have thought about what kind of consequences his actions would lead to, and it didn't just change the lord of the country, but also had an unusually far-reaching impact on the history of the world of the Warring States period.

- You know, this time is also in the historical stage of the Age of Discovery.
