After staying in Akee Castle for two days, Katsuhisa wanted to return to Kyoto today, because he still had too many things to prepare, and he thought that he had made some meritorious achievements, and Oda Nobunaga should not embarrass him.

As soon as Katsuhisa wanted to say goodbye to the Oda family, he ran into someone sent by Niwa Nagahide.

"His Royal Highness Katsuhisa, my lord is invited."

"It just so happens that I'm going to visit."

After speaking, Shengjiu followed him into Catfish City.

Since Honmaru was in shambles, and the palace was destroyed by fire, Niwa Nagahide lived in several large houses in Ninomaru.

When Katsuhisa walked in and found that in addition to Niwa Nagahide, Ikeda Tsuneko, and Akechi Mitsuhide, there was also Shibata Katsuie, and he wondered in his heart when this ghost Shibata came to Akee.

"Yikes! His Royal Highness Katsuhisa has come down, please be seated! ”

Niwa Nagahide enthusiastically asked Katsuhisa to sit down, and motioned to his subordinates to hand the tea bowl he had drunk to Katsuhisa, only to hear Niwa Nagahide smile:

"Haha, this tea bowl is a famous thing that the lord rewarded me, His Royal Highness Katsuhisa don't be formal, please use it."

Katsuhisa looked at the green water mixed with tea foam in the bowl, and thought to himself, good guy, isn't this what you have drunk?

Although he knew that it was Niwa Nagahide who treated him as his own and would let him drink a bowl of tea together, as a traverser, Katsuhisa didn't like this custom of mixing everyone's saliva and taking turns to drink; But you can't not give face in public, or take a sip with a bowl in both hands, and praise a few words This tea bowl is really extraordinary.

Niwa Nagahide smiled even more after hearing this, and Katsuhisa knew that Niwa Nagahide should not be as simple as showing off the tea utensils when he called him;

Sure enough, I saw Shibata Katsuya take out a letter from his arms and hand it to Katsuhisa:

"The lord is grateful to hear that His Royal Highness Katsujiu is brave and resourceful, this is a certificate of thanks written by the lord himself."

"Oh! It is a great honor to be in the next. ”

Although Katsuhisa said this, he had some doubts in his heart, could it be that just such an award certificate sent me away? It shouldn't be! According to Oda Nobunaga's temper, he should give me additional assistance, send a few Yuli, and give me some money and food to go to Izumo to fight a little!

At this time, Niwa Nagahide saw Katsuhisa staring at the thank you form for a long time, and seemed to guess that Katsuhisa might be dissatisfied, he sorted out his expression, and asked in a pretended serious manner:

"The Nizi family is......... Is His Royal Highness Katsuhisa willing to serve the Oda family wholeheartedly? ”

Katsuhisa looked up at Niwa Nagahide, who seemed to be smiling, and saw that Shibata Katsuie, Akechi Mitsuhide and others were also staring at him tightly, and he didn't hesitate, and replied directly:

"Can't you explain your position if you can appear in Catfish City in the next place?"

Shibata Katsuie sarcastically said:

"Is a position different from allegiance to our lord? Does His Highness Katsuhisa have two hearts? ”

"Two hearts?"

Katsuhisa was annoyed by this sentence, and I don't have any conflict of interest with the Oda family, so what's the second heart; He continued dissatisfiedly to Shibata Katsuie:

"Yes, I have two hearts, that is, to help the Oda family and at the same time revive the Niko family, I hope to get the help of the Oda family, and I also know that the weak are not worthy of negotiating conditions, so I am willing to do my best to repay the Oda family for the love of the sword given by the Oda family."

Everyone looked at the extremely honest Katsuhisa, but they didn't expect this guy to be so cute when he was in a hurry.

"Hahahaha~"

Shibata Katsuya also laughed, and Niwa Nagahide stopped pretending and laughed out loud.

Akechi Mitsuhide on the side chuckled:

"His Royal Highness Katsuhisa can rest assured that as long as you are loyal to the Oda family, you will be rewarded."

Katsuhisa looked at everyone's changing expressions, feeling if he was being tricked by these guys;

I saw Shibata Katsuya stand up and take out another letter, Akechi Mitsuhide hurriedly reminded him with his eyes, Katsuhisa hurriedly bowed down and supported the ground with his fists, only to hear Shibata Katsuya read:

"Ni son Shiro Katsujiu, this battle broke the city meritorious, gave 100 gold, temporarily for the Settsu country Akutagawa Yamashiro Castle and Wada Dan Masada together to stabilize the situation in West Settsu and North Settsu, with the Settsu Army General Quan Liu...... Ha, it's under ......."

Katsuhisa raised his eyes and looked at Shibata Katsuya This guy deliberately paused, and his triumphant appearance was speechless for a while, can you read it quickly.

"Takechu Banbei is hereby allowed to serve under your command, but Banbei runs away privately, which is particularly hateful, and takes back his 3,000 stone taels from Takeshita Village...... Don't set foot in Gifu again. ”

After reading it, Shibata Katsuya smiled and handed the pleadings to Katsuhisa:

"Shiro works hard, this time we must do a good job in Settsu, maybe you will really be able to become the lord of a city in the near future, and it can be regarded as reviving the name of the Nizi family."

The corners of Katsuhisa's mouth twitched a few times, he never expected that Oda Nobunaga would let him be a castle generation, Oda Nobunaga regarded him as a retainer, so he solved the matter of Catie Castle, and he was going to be dragged to Settsu to work; If you refuse, your previous efforts will be in vain.

Suddenly reacted, it is estimated that Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka were also attracted in this way.

I thought about it again, and it turned out that the half-guard had 3,000 stones! However, the half-soldiers can even say that they don't want to do it if they don't want tens of thousands of stones in Bodhi Mountain City, and they probably don't care about this, if I can really succeed in the future, I must not treat him badly.

Just when Katsuhisa was full of thoughts, Niwa Nagahide and others also began to congratulate him, and because of this time of getting along, everyone also recognized Niko Katsuhisa.

Shibata Katsuya patted Katsuhisa on the shoulder with a big grin and laughed:

"Although when I first saw you in Gifu, I thought you were too immature and presumptuous, but you have the talent of a unicorn, Niwa also strongly recommends you to the lord, I Quanliu has no fight, what is there in the future to say it directly, don't learn from Lin Xiuzhen's guy twists and turns; Akutagawa Mountain Castle was originally garrisoned by Wada Dan, and now he is in charge of Takatsuki Castle, and now I am much more relieved to have you stationed there, haha. ”

"Oh! In the next, he must deny himself and serve the public. ”

Akutagawa Mountain City, why does Katsuhisa feel so familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly woke up, isn't that Akutagawa Shengfeng's hometown? It was because Miyoshi Masayasu captured Akutagawa Mountain Castle that Shengfeng was in exile because of Miyoshi Masaya's capture of Akutagawa Mountain Castle, and the Akutagawa family in Settsu was almost completely wiped out, so he went to Shiniyaya to settle accounts; Shengfeng would be very happy if he knew!

At this moment, a young samurai dressed up walked in, and Shibata Katsuie hurriedly introduced:

"This is Oda Senbei Ryushin, who has been serving by the side of the lord as a flank, and the lord has also ordered him to serve under you as a paraseter."

"Oda's ......"

Oda Miaozi, that should have something to do with Oda Nobunaga; Katsuhisa looked at Long Xin, who was wearing a red papaya flower turban and a big red carcass grass pleat, and then a white and red arabesque sleeve, which was probably learned from Nobunaga; Although he understands that he should have been sent by Nobunaga to spy on him, he has no ill will towards the Oda family, so he will monitor it!

"In the next, Ni Sun Shiro Shengjiu, will work hard in the future."

"Oh! It is an honor to serve by His Highness's side. ”

Oda Ryushin replied without humility or arrogance, and there was no superfluous expression on his face...... In fact, Long Xin also commented on Shengjiu in his heart, he can be valued by the lord at such a young age, whether he has real talent and learning, he will know at a glance in the future.
