Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Last Request
Saito Michizo frowned, and said, "I heard that you only brought less than a hundred soldiers, do you think you are my opponent?" β
Fang Yan raised his head proudly and said proudly: "They are all the elite soldiers of the Imagawa family, and these hundred soldiers are enough to defeat thousands of soldiers and horses on the battlefield." β
The other party broke his doubts one by one, and Saito Michizo not only did not get irritable, but instead showed a smile and asked, "Interesting, dialect, do you want to take Mino from my hands like Shina?" β
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "You are wrong, old man, I am here to inherit your wishes and dreams, if it is taken away, I don't need to marry Shinna at all, I just need to let Yiyuan attack." β
Saito Michizo snorted coldly: "Inheritance? What are you kidding, how do I know if you have that ability? β
"Do I have the ability to see through from the beginning, old man, with your eyesight? Don't lie to yourself, at least I'm much better than that waste son of your family, aren't I? The dialect also smiled at each other, and bluntly poked into the pain of the other party.
"You guy, you're really annoying......" Michizo Saito's eyes became even colder as he looked at Fang Yan.
Fang Yan smiled arrogantly and said, "But the irony is that since I am hated by you, I know what you are worried about, even if I call it your bosom friend." Your son is only worthy of Shinna to lead the horse, and I am the existence of letting Shinna convince me to lead the horse, this gap is not one or two points, if Mino is in the hands of your son Saito Yoshiryu, I only need ten days and a half months to completely conquer it. β
How many pounds and taels his son has, Saito Michizo knows better than anyone else, but such a blunt investigation made his pupils shrink fiercely, he turned his head in surprise, and wondered: "Shinna, weren't you forced?" β
Oda Shinna shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "No, pit viper, this guy is very powerful, don't underestimate him, dialect is a guy who can see through all your dreams and wishes, and has the ability to help you realize it." β
"Oh? Does this guy know what I'm thinking? Saito Michizo looked at the dialect with interest.
"You are known as the 'pit viper that captured Mino', but your real target is all of Japan, right? Occupy favorable terrain, build a beautiful and unbreakable mountain city, store the fat grain of Kanto, and want to raise a million male soldiers, when the time is ripe, they will rebel, calm the troubled times, and establish a business empire from the so-called have, really cunning guys, there must be a limit to the next gram, and besides, you think too much of yourself, are you not ready to retire when you are old. The dialect still disparages the other party's way lightly.
"What?!" Michizo Saito looked at him and moved his gaze to Shinna, to which Shinna just shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't tell the other party anything.
But the words of tongues don't end here.
"Old man, your strategy is quite discerning, but it's a pity that you came to this world as a merchant and not a samurai, so with your ability and resourcefulness, taking down the country of Mino has already made you old, and you can't achieve your dream without much time."
"You're right, although you are still young, you have broken through what the old man has never said to anyone in his life! I didn't expect that except for Shinna, there is such a different species of heart and world, and there are other people who can see through me, step down, Mitsuhide, this guy is the same as Shinna, and he is an existence that can let me entrust me with important tasks. Michizo Saito nodded slightly, and his face seemed to have become much better because of his agreement.
"Kanosuke, step down too, your future head of the family, I'm not a man who will stop here." The dialect's eyes shone brightly, and they also gave each other respect.
"I see." Akechi Mitsuhide nodded slightly, and retreated with Shikanosuke.
"Who's the Xenomorph, pit viper!" Shina shouted indignantly.
Saito Michizo ignored Shinna, but asked unwillingly to the dialect, "What I can't do, do you think you can do?" β
"Old man, you're joking again, in this Warring States, is there anyone other than me who is more suitable to be your successor? No, only me and Shina inherit Mino, so that your life's hard work will not be in vain, because the only people who can inherit your dream of Michizo Saito are Shinna and me! β
"You're so confident, do you think this path will be so easy?" Saito Michizo said disdainfully.
Fang Yan and those eyes were opposite, and he chuckled confidently and said in a condensed voice: "Shinna has vision but no one is convinced, but as a close confidant of the future shogun Yoshimoto, with the help of the shogun's righteousness, with the help of the general's righteousness, countless ronin samurai will fall at my feet with just a slight raise of my hand, why not be afraid that I will not be able to dominate the world, abolish the corrupt system of the shogunate, and establish a rich business empire?" β
"Hahaha-!"
Michizo Saito was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing and said aloud, "Interesting, really interesting!" I didn't expect that in addition to Xinnai in the world, there is such a person, you are a rare hero in the Warring States I already know, but it's a pity that it's not from my own country, and it's not a big name, otherwise I will definitely write out the country without hesitation, right? β
Fang Yan shook his head and said, "Old man, I don't need your concession, Mino will be a gift I am going to give to Yiyuan and Shinna in the future, and I won't ask for anything, so you don't need to think about me, you just need to obediently cooperate and give way." β
"I didn't expect you to be a man who doesn't like power, it's really rare."
Saito Michizo nodded thoughtfully, but the next moment he grinned and said stubbornly: "Your thoughts, the old man has already understood, even if I know that I will be defeated, I will not give Mino to you so easily, even if it is Shinna, because I want to compete with you on the battlefield more and more, and the political strategy question and answer will end here." β
Fang Yan frowned, his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and he said impatiently: "Old man, don't be arrogant with a handful of old bones, I'm very busy, a small place like Japan can't stop me, if you get out of the way quickly, maybe you can still see the business empire of your dreams, and Xinna doesn't want you to die." β
"Oh?" Saito Michizo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said suspiciously: "You are so ruthless, will you pay attention to the request of such a girl's family?" If I don't die, you will never want to get Mino, this is the Warring States, not a child's housekeeping. β
Fang Yan showed a surprised expression, and asked rhetorically: "Why not, whether you die or not and whether I take Mino or not are completely different things, besides, I love beauty more than the country, and there is nothing strange about agreeing to this kind of thing, or do you feel that you are old and suddenly want to die?" β
Saito Michizo's eyes widened, and he said dissatisfiedly: "That's how you talk to your father-in-law?!" Do you still want Mino anymore? β
"Mino must, you can't die, this is what I promised Shinna." The dialect replied with an oath.
"You are too young and willful, as the saying goes, you can't have one of the two rabbits, and there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world." Saito Michizo shook his head slowly.
"Who's to say no? I helped Yiyuan win the world, and while he was in a high position, he could also get the ambiguity of countless beauties, isn't this the best of both worlds? Fang Yan asked rhetorically unconvinced.
"I don't care, anyway, I won't give up Minono, do you think it's easy for me to work hard for so long? You must defeat me in battle, or nothing will happen! Saito Michizo snorted and ignored the dialect.
Fang Yan, who knew that the language strategy was no longer effective, suddenly showed a strange smile and said slowly: "In other words, if I can convince my heart, are you willing to give Mino to me?" β
"That's right, but I'll die on the battlefield when the time comes, after all, that's where I really belong." Saito Michizo nodded slightly, his old eyes were cloudy and he sighed, looking very lonely, like a dislocated poisonous snake.
"Okay, I agreed." The corners of Fang Yan's mouth hooked up a strange arc and nodded.
"Dialect, you promised me that I would let Dao San live." Shinna frowned, grabbed the corner of Fang Yan's clothes, and whispered in the other party's ear.
"Don't worry, this old man is luring me in." The dialect also reminded in a low voice.
"What do you mean?" Shinna wondered. "Just watch, I'll fix it." The dialect caressed the other person's waist and scared the other person out of the way.
"I see......" Shina blushed and quickly dodged away.
"Oh?"
Ignoring the two guys in front of him who were putting flashbangs, hearing that he was going to die, Saito Michizo showed a relieved smile and said, "Have you finally figured it out?" The fact that only cold-blooded people in the Warring States can win the world. β
"Daosan, did you misunderstand something, I didn't say that I want to fight you in reality, I have a way to make you happy and convinced." Fang smiled.
"What do you say? Don't think you can impress me with naΓ―ve words. Saito's brow furrowed again.
"I said I know what you're thinking, say it, I promised you the conditions, anyway, Minong's future has already been sealed, so don't put on a stubborn old man's stinky shelf here to put on a big scoop of garlic!" Fang Yan pointed at the other party's nose and scolded.
"You don't want to fight us at all, but as a pit viper who betrayed the lord and captured Mino, if you do such a thing, you will definitely lose face! The world will definitely laugh at the pit viper for being old and incompetent, so you can't say it! But you old fellow still have a little conscience, and are you ready to release water without leaving a trace in the battle, and achieve my prestige? β
"Awesome."
Saito Michizo clasped his hands on his chest, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly showed a strange smile, which was a 100% wicked face, which was even more hateful than the expression of the demon fox's successful trick, and then he said slowly.
"Is it seen through again? Hehe, it's worthy of being a man who convinces Xinnai, although I don't know what spell you used, but there are so many twists and turns, I still can't hide it from you. β
"Did I tell you? It is useless to conceal it. Fang Yan also smiled and confronted the other party.
Michizo Saito nodded slightly, and suddenly said, "Okay, if you can still see through my 'now' wishes, and can see through my last request to you, I'll give Mino to you." β
"What ......!"
The faces of all those who heard this changed drastically, and at the same time they turned their eyes to the dialect, this was a wonderful opportunity, no matter how brazen the other party was, the words of the daimyo on such occasions would be fulfilled, this is the power of morality.
But the wishes of an old naughty boy like Michizo Saito are not so easy for anyone to guess.
