Katsuhisa and others disturbed Asano Nagamasa for a few more days in Gifu, and also hosted a banquet for many Oda retainers in batches, such as Sakuma Nobumori and Takigawa Ichiyoshi, who can lead the first army out of battle, as well as Sasa Naimasa, Harada Naomasa and other Nobunaga Ma from the mother's clothes; Fortunately, the Li family, the half-soldier guard and the long government were accompanied, and the atmosphere in the banquet room was relatively harmonious.

Sakuma Nobumori jokingly said that he could accept Katsuhisa as his adopted son, and then make a proposal to Nobunaga to let Katsuhisa stay in the Oda family as a direct minister; Katsuhisa could only smile and thank Shin Sheng for his kindness.

Gifu is good, but it's not home, and you have to leave it anyway; After Katsuhisa quietly handed over the two gold judgments to Ami, he took his leave and prepared to return to Kyoto;

If it is handed over to Changzheng, he will definitely be killed and will not accept it; After this period of getting along, Katsuhisa and Asano Nagamasa have also established a relatively deep friendship, and Nagamasa, who is usually chatty and unobtrusive, is comfortable in dealing with the world and communicating, which really impresses Katsuhisa.

Everyone had just come out of the Asano house, and the half-guards had been waiting for a long time to lead the horses alone.

"Hanbei, this is?"

Katsuhisa was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly rushed up to hug his shoulder, although he probably guessed it, but when Hanbei made his choice, the emotion in his heart could not be described in words.

Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Katsuhisa's excited appearance, and smiled helplessly:

"I'm about to be shaken apart by you."

Hearing this, Katsuhisa quickly recovered his mood and took his hand back.

"Has the half-guard really decided?"

The half-guard looked at Katsuhisa's excited appearance like a child, and smiled:

"Please give me a lot of advice in the future."

Katsuhisa sorted out his mood and solemnly saluted to the half-guard:

"His Royal Highness Nobunaga has said: A samurai is worthy of admiration when it is impossible to perform miracles; I believe we can do miracles. ”

Hanbei exhaled heavily and nodded solemnly, he had imagined his future life countless times, would he continue to be unreused in the Oda family? Or did you die in obscurity?

In the past few days, as soon as I have time, I will talk with Shengjiu and talk about wine; It seems that Katsuhisa can always guess his thoughts, and the two can always be surprisingly consistent in their thoughts, although they have known each other for a short time, they have become each other's confidants.

At this time, Katsuhisa asked apologetically:

"Does Mrs. Atsushi agree with you to go to Izumo with me?"

The half-guard nodded and smiled jokingly:

"Ah Zhi has gone back to live at her father-in-law's house, and we said that we will come back to pick her up after we settle down outside; If you're spanked by the Maori family and you pee, I'll run back to Mino to live in peace. ”

"Haha, then you may have to run faster, maybe Maori Yuan can catch you with that old bone."

Hahaha~

The two looked at each other and smiled, and that night when Katsuhisa asked him if he would like to accompany him to meet the god of the Western Kingdom, Mori Motoshi, Hanbei hesitated, not because he was afraid, but because of his wife.

In the past, the 30,000 stone territory of Bodhi Mountain City was lost, and he was not sad for half a point, and the only person who felt guilty over the years was his wife A Fang; In the past few years, he has been displaced by himself, living a poor life, and the jewelry he used to have been sold to subsidize the family, but fortunately, his father-in-law Ando Mamoru took over.

It was his wife who really made him decide to follow Katsuhisa, and last night Ah Zhi saw his change, and he also explained Katsuhisa's situation to Ah Tong; Although Ah Zhi is reluctant, he also understands that the once high-spirited young man has been depressed over the years, and only when he goes home after getting together with Katsuhisa can he have the brilliance in his eyes.

"A man dies for his confidant, and a woman is for a person who pleases himself; Is Ah Fang a foolish woman who does not know what to do? Has the husband forgotten that Ah Zhi is also the daughter of a samurai family? ”

The half-guard sighed in his heart, how lucky he was to have a wife.

It is worth mentioning that the half-guards did not follow Katsuhisa as a retainer, but joined the Nizi Army as a friend to help in the war.

At this moment, two people came from not far away, and they saw that it was the Li family and Changzheng.

Nagamasa knew that Katsuhisa and they were leaving today, so he hurriedly pulled the newly dismissed Maeda Toshiya to prepare to have two more drinks and send them off, but suddenly found that Katsuhisa and his party were ready to leave.

Changzheng muttered a little unhappily:

"Shiro is really not interesting, originally I and the Li family were going to practice it for you, but this spread and said that I was stingy with Asano Nagamasa, and I didn't send my friends away, how could I still mess around in the Oda family...... And Kasuke and Hachiro too, as retainers, don't you stop your lord? Is there any consciousness as a retainer......"

As soon as Nagamasa came up, he split a lot of horns, Shikanosuke made a helpless expression, and the originally faceless and skinless Hachiro didn't know him, because he couldn't compare to him, so he could only look up at the sky and pretend not to hear.

And Katsuhisa squinted and plucked his ears, and then said with a smile:

"It's not bothering you for so long, I'm sorry, don't be angry, next time you come to Kyoto, I will definitely treat you well at Sea Butterfly House."

"Okay, what you said, don't take me money."

"No problem, play as long as you want, I will never accept half of Lord Asano, I will give you Ataki as a side room."

"Ataki? Forget it! Hideyoshi went to find her every once in a while. ”

At this time, Maeda Toshiya also stepped forward and said:

"Take care all the way, if you can't do anything, you can't fight hard, with us, you will always have a place to stay in the future."

Katsuhisa was extremely moved when he heard this, and these sincere friends were the biggest gain from this trip to Gifu.

Nagamasa and the Li family also noticed the half-guard, and looked at the package on the horse curiously, and Nagamasa exclaimed:

"Hanbei, are you going to accompany Shiro?"

The half-guard smiled and nodded back:

"I've already told Lord Hayashi Xiuzhen, and he will explain to His Highness Nobunaga on my behalf that it's a pity that I can't work with you anymore, but some people are always adventurous, aren't they?"

The Li family nodded in understanding, he knew the talent of the half-soldier, and he didn't know whether the lord was unintentional or intentional, he always ignored the existence of the half-soldier and asked him to do some trivial things.

"Shiro, you've only been here for a few days? This abducted the Hanbei, do you know that Hideyoshi thinks about the Hanbei going to the Kyoto Acting Division every day in Kyoto? The lord has been holding back and not letting people go, and he was actually taken away by you. ”

"Hey, hey, this ......"

Katsuhisa touched his nose and replied embarrassedly:

"Who told me to be more compatible with the half-guards! Why don't you come with me! ”

"No, I'm still young......"

Hahaha~

Everyone laughed heartily, Nagamasa couldn't keep Katsuhisa, changed his previous appearance, his face became serious, and he instructed Katsuhisa:

"I have a humble position in the Oda family, and I can't help you, but Shiro treats me sincerely, and I repay it with sincerity; You must need manpower, and when you return to Kyoto, go to Sorakuya, a few brave and warlike warriors of Mikawa, whom I hired when I fought in Kyoto, led by Kato Kyoaki, all of whom were Tokugawa retainers who had been banished during the Mikawa Rebellion, and said that I had asked you to go; Also, if you want to recruit troops, remember that you can't recruit hooligan ruffians in Kyonai, you can ask Hideyoshi for help. ”

Katsuhisa looked at his chief government gratefully:

"Shiro will never forget the days when he was taken care of by Nagamasa in Gifu, but don't die before me, you will definitely be blessed in the future."

"Stop! Take care of yourself first! Don't die in vain. ”

"Haha, definitely!"

Katsuhisa took the half-guard to say goodbye to the Riya family and Nagamasa.

The half-guard looked back and took one last look at Gifu Castle towering over Mt. Inaba......
