Chapter 36 Commitments
Katsuhisa took Oda Senbei Ryushin to the camp outside the city, and through chatting on the road, he learned that it turned out that Senbei was actually the son of Saito Yoshiryu, but because he was born to a dancing girl gifted to Yoshiryu by the Kyoto Minister, many miscellaneous servants called him "Ichijiuden" (Ichishi, Nijo, Kujo, mocking him for not knowing whose species) so he was cold-eyed in Saito's house since he was a child, and Saito Ryuxing didn't want to take him with him when he escaped; But this also became the reason why he was able to survive in the Oda family later.
may be the hardships since childhood, which has created his tenacious and calm character; Nobunaga saw that although he was young, his temperament was different from that of his peers, and when he learned about his past, he took him in by his side. At the age of fifteen this year, Nobunaga personally gave him a gento and gave him Oda Miao characters, which shows Nobunaga's love for him.
Just when they arrived at the door, they saw a young man with a grassroots in his mouth anxiously looking in, and the guard saw that he was young and did not threaten him, so he did not drive him away, but just asked him to wait outside first;
At this time, the young man turned around and suddenly saw Katsuhisa, and his face immediately showed a look of joy, spit out the grass roots in his mouth, knelt down at Katsuhisa and shouted:
"Does His Highness Katsuhisa remember the villain? I've finally found you. ”
Katsuhisa was suddenly kneeled like this, and he was a little stunned for a while; The young man saw that Katsuhisa didn't seem to remember him, so he hurriedly continued:
"The little one is Yoyoshi, Yoyoshi of the Fujido family, and the father of the Fujido Tiger High, we met in Mizutani Village that day."
Fujido...... O..."
Katsu remembered that day he had encountered bandits in the Fujido family's village; This kid came to him to do something, and suddenly remembered that he was pestering Kanosuke with Ji at that time to let him teach him marksmanship, so he smiled at Yoshi:
"You're here to learn how to shoot from Shikanosuke!"
Yoshimi Katsuhisa knew his careful thoughts, and he didn't hide it, and nodded desperately:
"Yes, yes, I've found you."
Katsuhisa hurriedly helped Yoji, who was covered in dirt, up, and obviously suffered a lot in this way:
"Come in with me first! I can't guarantee that he'll take you as an apprentice. ”
"In... Before that, don't you give me a rice ball~"
Katsuhisa looked at Yoji with his head down, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became, and said in his heart, this kid shouldn't have run away from home! Then he put his arm around his shoulders and smiled:
"No problem, enough."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Qianbei followed behind, he had been silently observing Katsuhisa, approachable, this was his most intuitive feeling; Because Katsuhisa had a more painful childhood than him, he could understand his feelings, and he was relieved to see that Katsuhisa was so easy to get along with.
In the tent, Yoji was desperately nibbling on rice balls, and he saw Katsuhisa and Kanosuke and others grinning, why did this good Fujido family become like this?
"Slow down, drink saliva first."
Shikanosuke hurriedly handed him a scoop of water and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hiccup~~ Comfortable."
Yoji touched his stomach, with a satisfied look on his face; Kanosuke intervened and asked Yoyoshi:
"Are you running away from home?"
Yoyoshi hurriedly came back to his senses, almost forgot about the matter, and bowed to Shikanosuke:
"Teacher, please accept Yoji! I'm willing to do anything. ”
Kanosuke didn't answer directly, I haven't agreed to this yet! The teachers are called; He then pretended to be serious and asked, "Does Fujido-sama know that you are coming to me?" ”
Yoyoshi glanced at Kanosuke cautiously, and replied with a weak heart:
"Know...... Know. ”
"Huh?"
Yoyoshi knew that Shikanosuke didn't believe it, so he gritted his teeth and raised his head, and said frankly to Shikanosuke:
"Father and brother don't agree, in their opinion, you are all ronins who live in a fixed place, but in Yoji's heart, you are all amazing samurai, and the people of the Asai family are a group of selfish and old-fashioned samurai, I want to learn spearmanship with the teacher, I want to follow you to see the world, I am the second male in the family, it is enough for the Fujitang family to have a brother, please don't drive me away."
Katsuhisa looked at the persistent Yoji, this is the Fujido Takatora in the future! I didn't expect to be so assertive, but the fact that I ran away from home without saying a word has not changed.
Katsuhisa also persuaded Shikanosuke:
"He Ji Neng insisted on finding you, which means that your master and apprentice are destined, let him stay!"
Despite the persuasion of the lord, Kanosuke is still hesitating, because the road ahead is dangerous; But seeing Yo Jina's firm eyes, how could she be so little girl, so she nodded in agreement.
Yoyoshi was almost jumping up with joy, and he couldn't stop thanking Kanosuke and Katsuhisa.
After Katsuhisa settled the matter with Yoshi, he called all the Niko warriors here together and announced Oda Nobunaga's appointment to them.
Katsuhisa originally thought that everyone would resist going to Settsu, but he wanted to be moved and reasonable; Unexpectedly, everyone cheered.
"I didn't expect the lord to get a city so quickly."
"Yes! There is hope for the revival of the Nizi family. ”
Katsuhisa looked at everyone's happy looks, and he was relieved, the Maori family is too strong, and strengthening itself while waiting for the opportunity is the primary goal, since Oda Nobunaga wants him to continue to work for the Oda family, then first borrow the nutrients of this big tree.
At this time, Shikanosuke said to everyone:
"Although it is only a city generation, it is a city land, since there is a stronghold, it is much more convenient to recruit and train troops, and it can also attract more old ministers of Nizi to come."
"Oh!"
What Kanosuke said also makes sense, if you are in Kyoto, many things are inconvenient to do, so Katsuhisa nodded and said to everyone:
"Take this opportunity to accumulate strength, how long can the old fox survive? After that, it's time for me to wait. ”
"Oh!"
Everyone echoed loudly.
At this time, the half-soldier was habitually patting his shoulder with a folding fan, as if he was thinking about something, and when Katsuhisa saw this, he came to the side of the half-soldier and asked:
"Did the half-guard come up with something?"
I saw the half-guard nodding and replied with a smile:
"The land of Akutagawa is also a good place, although it is not as rich as the Catoe, but it is also a necessary place for trade to the mountain city and Tanba, and there is a chance in the chaos."
Katsuhisa and Hanbei laughed tacitly.
At this time, someone came to report:
"Lord, His Royal Highness Gamo has come down."
Katsuhisa hurriedly greeted him, and Kamo Hyunxiu was already able to walk on the ground, but he still needed help.
Katsuhisa hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and he and Ah Jing helped Kamo Hyunxiu into the big tent left and right.
"My lord, rest in peace, just send someone to call me next time."
"Haha, I'm going back to Hino soon, I have to come over and thank you in person, thanks to you, His Royal Highness Oda didn't reprimand him, and gave the Gamo family a certificate of appreciation, and Tsuru Chiyo will also marry the daughter of the Oda Palace, Fuyuhime, and my Gamo family has finally survived."
It is a routine operation for a daimyo to marry a daughter, not to mention that the Gamo family is a snake-like existence in Omi, as the former Rokkaku family elder, and most of the wealthy families of the South Omi are very close, and it is of great benefit to stabilize the South Omi.
"Congratulations, my lord, Chiyo Tsuru can be favored by His Royal Highness Oda, and the future is limitless."
Gamo Kenhide was naturally very happy to see Katsuhisa say the same, and with a wave of his hand, the three Gamo retainers led by Yokoyama Jitong knelt down on one knee in front of Katsuhisa.
Katsuhisa didn't figure out what was going on, but he heard Gamo Kenhide say:
"The three of them will be by your side from today onwards!"
"In the lower Yokoyama Xi Nei Ji Tong, see Your Highness."
"In Shimanakamura Heiji Ichichi, see Your Highness."
"In Shimomasuda Uemon Nagamori, see Your Highness."
Katsuhisa looked at the three of them, Yokoyama Jitong and Nakamura Ichishi he was very familiar with, after all, he led them to fight, but Masuda Nagamori had never seen it, he didn't understand what Kamo Kenhide meant:
"My lord, what is this?"
"Haha, don't worry, it's not for them to transfer to you; I heard from His Highness Niwa that you have been appointed as Akutagawa Castle, so I ordered the three of them to take Gamo to help you, and let them come back when you have established yourself. ”
Katsuhisa was extremely moved after hearing this, Gamo's team was only a hundred people, but they were all veterans of Hino, and the will to fight was not comparable to that of the peasant soldiers who were temporarily recruited.
At this time, Gamo Hyunxiu said again:
"Uemon, who used to be a disciple of the Pure Land Shinshu, participated in Omi Ichi, and was quite talented; Originally, I was going to recommend him to His Highness Nobunaga, but the matter of Settsu is inseparable from those guys at Ishiyama Honganji, and he is familiar with the situation of the Pure Land Shinshu, so I asked him to help you for the time being, and I would like to ask him about this matter at that time. ”
Masuda Nagamori also said to Katsuhisa:
"Your Highness, please rest assured, now I have long since left the Pure Land True Sect."
Katsuhisa nodded and bowed to Kamo Kenhide:
"The love of adults, Shiro will never forget in his life."
"Haha, then be my son-in-law!"
With Gamo Hyunhide's laughter, everyone in the entire tent looked at Katsuhisa; Katsuhisa swallowed, he never expected that Gamo Hyunxiu would say it so bluntly in front of so many people.
Kanosuke also raised his heart to Sangzi's eyes at this time, although he didn't want the lord to marry the Nizi family, but if he refused like this, where would the face of the Gamo family go.
Katsuhisa looked at Ah Jing, who lowered his head, and saw the smug expression of the old fox on his face, careless, how did he suffer here; So he replied stubbornly:
"The day Katsuhisa recaptures Izumo is when I get married to Jing."
"Hahaha~ Son-in-law, hurry up."
Kamo Xianxiu laughed out loud after getting this answer, boy, you still escaped from the palm of the old man's hand, although he didn't get married immediately, but he got Katsuhisa's promise, and his heart was also half lowered, although I don't know when Katsuhisa will be able to recapture Izumo, but the name is set here, and we can talk about it slowly later.
Katsuhisa can only delay it first, and then explain it to Tachihara Hisatsuna when he returns to Kyoto.
Oda Ryushin in the corner silently watched all this in front of him, the marriage of Niko and Gamo, the rise of the new power of the Oda family will inevitably impact the inherent genealogical power; Wait for the lord of Gifu to decide for himself!
