In the evening, a samurai was happily walking towards the Soraku longhouse with a small box of Nanban fruits in his hand.

When he walked to the door, he was stunned, because a large group of samurai were sitting at the door, and the outfit did not look like a ronin, and the key was which ronin could afford a horse!

The people of the Nizi family just glanced at this guy curiously, and did not prevent him from entering the longhouse.

After he entered the long house, Xiangle Fang Liang saw him at a glance, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed his wrist:

"Yahachiro, there's an adult of the Oda family who is recruiting samurai, so you might as well try it!"

"The samurai of the Oda family?"

This samurai called Yahachiro is Honda Masanobu, who has never seen the samurai of the Oda family in Kyoto, he once refused the solicitation of Murai Sadakatsu, but he didn't want the Tokugawa family to misunderstand that he was hugging the thigh of the Oda family, and he didn't want to return to Mikawa and return to his wife and children all the time.

Xiangle Fangliang knew that Yahachiro's old mistake had been committed again, and hurriedly persuaded:

"My Hachiro-sama! It's been so long, and the Tokugawa family still hasn't forgiven you, and you can't even go back to Mikawa, Kato at least has his wife and children by his side, and in my opinion, you should find another master, and then take your wife and children over, no matter how you meet first! ”

Honda Masanobu naturally understands Fang Liang's kindness, and thanks to his care these days, he will not be as depressed as those ronins in Sakai Town; It's not good to refute his face:

"Alright! I'm going to meet the man. ”

At this moment, Kato Kyoaki and others walked out from inside.

"I'm looking for you! We thought you and Luis went to Kyushu? ”

"Hah! I escorted him to Sakai Town, and he also gave me some Nanban sweets (snacks, sugar), and I thought that Xiao Sun Liu should love to eat them. ”

At this time, Sun Liu hurriedly rushed out from behind Jiaoming and hugged Honda Masanobu's thigh; Masanobu squatted down with a smile and handed the fruit in his hand to Sun Liu, looking at the happy appearance of the little Sun Liu, Masanobu thought of his three-year-old son Chiho, and didn't know if he was doing well at the Okubo family.

Kato Kyoaki said to Masashi at this time:

"We've joined the Nizi family, that adult is a nice young man, come with us!"

Masanobu raised his head and looked at Kyoaki with a serious look, he moved his mouth, but he didn't know how to speak, even Kato decided to change his life, is there really no way to return to the Tokugawa family?

"Is Your Excellency the Honda Shoshin?"

When the first person heard the prestige, Kato Kyoaki and the others bowed their heads and moved out of the way, only to see that the leader was a young man wearing a mage's headscarf, and there was a particularly beautiful samurai beside him, he knew that this should be Kato Kyoaki's new lord.

Zhengxin hurriedly got up and saluted and replied:

"Down there is Honda Yahachiro Masanobu."

Katsuhisa looked at Masanobu's neatly combed hair, and his beard was often taken care of, and the temperament of the whole person did not look like other Mikawa samurai, and Masanobu was elegant that distinguished him from them.

……

In the room, only Katsuhisa and Masanobu sat opposite each other.

Just as Katsuhisa looked at him, Masanobu was also looking at Katsuhisa, he didn't expect the other party to be so young.

After a while, Katsuhisa smiled at Honda Masanobu and said:

"Yahachiro must be very strange, when did there be a family of Niko under the command of Oda Dan Main Hall."

"Oh, forgive me for being a shallow learner, and I only know the Izumo Niko family that has perished."

"Haha, I'm from Izumo, and after the long-term prince, the son of Niko Seihisa, Shiro."

Now Honda Masanobu is really shocked, isn't it rumored that no one in the Nizi family has survived in the Western Kingdom? The brothers of Yoshihisa Niko were all confined by the Maori family, and suddenly Honda Masanobu remembered something again, looked at Katsuhisa suspiciously, and said tentatively:

"Shingu Party?"

Katsuhisa was a little surprised that Honda Masanobu actually knew about the Shingu Party, and he actually guessed correctly:

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Yahachiro, who was born in Tokaido, to know about the Western Kingdom."

"Oh! I just like to collect all kinds of rumors in the world.,So pay special attention to these.,I've heard that the Shingu party that is famous in the west country was exterminated by Niko Haruhisa because of rebellion......"

It was only after he finished saying that Zhengxin reacted, isn't this offending people in person? Why do you mention this! I was thinking about apologizing immediately, but I saw that the other party didn't seem to care.

"It doesn't matter! Although I am from the Shingu Party, if I were Nizi Harumu, I would not allow the Shingu Party to continue to exist. ”

Honda Masanobu looked at Katsuhisa like this, and he also admired this person's mind a little, maybe the prosperity of the Niko family is not an expectation.

"Oh! Now that the Oda family has entered Gyeonggi, the chaos of the kingdoms is an opportunity for His Highness. ”

"Is Yahachiro willing to help Katsuhisa win this opportunity?"

Honda Masanobu looked at Katsuhisa with a sincere face, and was silent for a while; He suddenly remembered Xiangle Fang Liang's words, did he really wait like this? I don't know if Zhongshi said good things for himself in front of Ieyasu, is it really never forgiven himself?

Speaking of which, the people of the Nishi-Mikawa Kingdom, who followed the Jodo Shinshu to make a rebellion, it was entirely because in the 6th year of Eiroku (1563), the Suganuma family built a fortress near the Kaminomiya Temple and seized the grain received by the Kaminomiya Temple.

The three major temples of Mikawa, led by Honshoji, had the privilege of guarding the inaccessibility, so the temples occupied a large amount of land and cultivated believers to accumulate wealth, which led to conflicts with samurai who did not believe in the Pure Land Shinshu, especially Matsudaira Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu), who aimed to unify Mikawa;

The 10th master of Honshoji Temple, Kuru (the grandson of Renru), together with Kaminomiya Temple and Katsukuji Temple, sent a letter to summon disciples to attack the Suganuma clan, and then the incident expanded, and some of the remnants of Imagawa in Mikawa joined forces with Honshoji Temple to start a crusade against the Matsudaira family, which was completely beyond the original intention of Honda Masanobu and them to raise an army against the Suganuma family, and then they were coerced into fighting against the Matsudaira family (Tokugawa);

During this period, there were those who broke away, and there were those who insisted on their beliefs; At that time, both sides lost their minds, loyalty and treachery were separated, fathers and sons killed each other, and the entire country of Trois-Rivières was in chaos.

Honda Masanobu also chose to continue to serve in the Ichika Army because of family reasons, and the Ichikushi Army even fought under Okazaki Castle.

After Matsudaira Motoyasu defeated a group of troops in the Battle of Matouhara, many former Matsudaira retainers began to abandon their faith and return to the Matsudaira family. Although it suffered losses, it also greatly strengthened the control of the Matsudaira family over the Mikawa country, and the Samurai of Mikawa who did not respond in time were all exiled or left on their own.

Masanobu Honda and Kato were exiled, and Beehouse, Naito and others were reluctant to return to the Tokugawa family because of the tragic death of their parents and relatives in the turmoil.

Having said that, at this time, Katsuhisa saw that Honda Masanobu was silent for a long time, and guessed that maybe Masanobu couldn't look down on him, and also, he had nothing now, and this kind of thing couldn't be forced.

"If Yahachiro still has concerns, I won't be strong, although I regret not being able to work with Hachiro, but I sincerely wish you can show your ambitions."

Honda Masanobu looked at Katsuhisa like this, and his heart was also a little moved, after all, he was just an unknown person in Mikawa, and it was already a great luck to be appreciated by others, but he rejected Murai Sadakatsu, and Niko Katsuhisa also belonged to the Oda family.

"Under ......"

At this moment, Kato Kyoaki shouted at the door to Honda Masanobu:

"Yahachiro, are you going to abandon us? So many people are dead, and we are left, you think clearly. ”

"Kato ......"

Honda Masanobu had tears in his eyes, don't look over.

At this time, Katsuhisa spoke again:

"If Yahachiro feels that Katsuhisa is incompetent in the future, he can leave on his own, Katsuhisa will never complain, how can he sit in a daughter's state as a samurai."

Honda Masanobu seemed to have made up his mind at this time, and bowed deeply to Katsuhisa:

"If you don't dislike it, Yahachiro is willing to go to Settsu with you."

Katsuhisa hurriedly held Honda Masanobu's hand and smiled:

"I heard Kato say that you are good at strategy and military strategy, and now I have a half-guard by your side, and I will definitely be able to establish meritorious deeds when I go to Settsu."

"I am willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

Hahaha~

Kato and the others also laughed, after all, everyone had not been separated since they left Mikawa together, and there were fourteen people when they set off, and now they are the only ones left.
