Chapter 38: Tokugawa

As Hirakawa Taisho left, the tension immediately dissipated.

Oda Heizou didn't want to stay for a moment, so he pulled Zhou Ming into the carriage and ordered Matsui Kyonobu, who had been waiting here, to drive away.

"It's still early, why don't we take a walk around Kyoto?" Zhou Ming proposed.

Oda Heizou looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously, and his eyes full of distrust seemed to say that I didn't hold back any good farts when I saw you kid.

"Hey, hey, what kind of eyes are you, you can't trust Matsui, you can't trust me?"

“…… I trust Matsui. Oda Heizou wanted to say this, but unfortunately he didn't dare to say it in the end.

"Then ...... Around? Matsui Kyonobu, who was driving, asked cautiously.

"Let's go, let's go shopping." Oda Heizou said angrily.

Matsui Kyonobu shrank his neck, did not dare to speak anymore, looked at his nose and nose, and drove wholeheartedly.

The sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels and bones sounded, Zhou Ming looked at the scenery outside the window with relish.

Compared to Koriyama Castle, Kyoto has a unique scenery.

It is more prosperous than Koriyama Castle, with a larger population and more developed commerce, with pedestrians, peddlers, and different costumes, mixed with different accents, cuts, vernaculars, and dialects.

"It seems that the gathering of the daimyo in Kyoto this time has really made the city of Kyoto a lot more lively."

Matsui Yanobu, who was driving, finally couldn't help but speak, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"Matsui, you've been to Kyoto before?" Zhou Ming asked curiously.

"Of course, I have followed adults for many years, and I have escorted them to Kyoto many times, and each time it was safe and sound, and there have never been accidents." Matsui said proudly.

"Lots of nonsense! If something happens, I'm not here today! Oda Heizou glared and shouted.

Matsui Kyanobu hurriedly shut up, continued to look at his nose and nose, and practiced his closed-mouth meditation.

"Kyoto, the center of the Tosho island country, if there is chaos here, the world will also be in chaos."

Thinking of the world's great names gathering in Kyoto and Momonosuke Nohara, who was dying, Zhou Ming couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Is there anything in the daimyo that needs special attention?"

Hearing Zhou Ming's question, Oda Heizou was slightly stunned, and then said, "Yes, the strongest one." ”

Zhou Ming: "......"

"Who's the strongest?"

"The most noteworthy one!"

Boom!

Zhou Ming drew his knife.

"Just kidding, just kidding." Oda Heizou waved his hand again and again, knowing that Zhou Ming had put away the knife, so he wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with a smile.

"Of all the daimyos, there is one who is indeed recognized as the most powerful, and his name is Tokugawa Soraka."

"What is he good at?"

"Every aspect. The land under his rule is fertile, rich in resources, large in population, developed in commerce, strong in finance, and many soldiers and generals......"

"It's really crushing in all directions."

"And the final thing, that's who he is...... He is the son of the lord of the kingdom, his own son. ”

"What?" Zhou Ming slowly typed a question mark.

"Do you people from Dongzhao Island Country also have such a son-in-law? That's not right, what is the identity of Momonosuke's father-in-law's family, can he plug the door upside down? ”

"What is an inverted door?" Oda Heizo asked with a strange expression.

“…… It's nothing. Zhou Ming shook his head, "You just said that his name is Tokugawa Zotaka, why did he change his surname?" ”

"Because of his mother." Oda Heizo's expression became serious, and he said: "This matter is not a secret, neither the lord of the country nor Tokugawa Zotaka deliberately tried to cover up this matter. However, we still don't want to mention it, after all, no one knows if it will touch the brow of the lord. ”

Zhou Ming couldn't wait to urge: "You said it!" ”

Oda Heizou: "......" people who eat melon party fun, right?

"When the lord of the country was young, it was a time when the heroes were competing and the world was in chaos. In order to gain more wealth and force, the lord of the country married a woman from a famous family, and sure enough, he won the support of the big family, gradually accumulated strength, expanded his power, and finally, ended the era of strife and chaos, and unified the whole country. ”

"It's just that when the lord of the country was united with the daughter of the noble family, the family made a request, that is, the child of the lord of the country inherited the family name."

"Isn't this still an inverted door!" Zhou Ming shouted.

"So this is the inverted door." Oda Heizou suddenly realized, "Is this what Zhou Jun said about your hometown?" ”

“…… Sort of. Zhou Ming casually passed over and asked, "Then what?" ”

"And then it was like that." Oda Heizou spread his hands.

"Which one?" Zhou Ming glared.

"The Tokugawa family, which family is the Tokugawa family!" Matsui Yanobu, who was driving, couldn't help but speak again, and the voice came from outside the car.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to pull your tongue out!" Oda Heizou lifted the curtain and reached out to grab Matsui Kyanobu's Tsukiyo head braid, shouting angrily.

"What kind of place do you think this is, Koriyama Castle? This is Kyoto, and if you talk nonsense, you won't be able to save your head! ”

"Great, my lord, it's the fault of my subordinates." Matsui Kyanobu begged for mercy again and again.

Oda Heizou then loosened Matsui Kyonobu's braids and kicked Matsui Kyonobu in anger.

"The lord of the country unified the world, but Tokugawa Zotaka had grown up at that time, and his name of 'Tokugawa Family Tiger' had already spread all over the world with the brave and good fighting by the side of the lord of the country over the years, and he couldn't change his surname if he wanted to."

"Moreover, the most critical problem is that Tokugawa Zotaka himself did not want to change his surname, and even did not hesitate to quarrel with the lord of the country for this reason and left in a bad mood."

"From then on, the lord gradually distanced himself from this son, until he was given a fief and expelled from Kyoto so that he could develop freely."

"That fief is where the Tokugawa family is located. With the support of a large family, the development of Tokugawa Zotaka is naturally smooth. ”

"That's it?" Zhou Ming reminisced about this story, and felt very bland and not tasteful enough!

There is no ruthlessness and the most emperor's family, there is no conflict between the royal power and the clan, there is no prince who brazenly confronts his father for his wronged mother, and there is not even the most basic ethical plot.

Pushing aside the mess in his mind, Zhou Ming continued to ask, "What about the other than Tokugawa Zoraka?" Don't forget that this is the world's first samurai conference, and it is useless to be strong, it depends on whether the samurai is strong or not. Are there any powerful samurai to watch out for? ”

"I don't know."

"Don't know?" Zhou Ming's eyes widened, "As a daimyo, you haven't even built an intelligence network to probe the information of other daimyos?" Won't you find out the opponent's news in advance? ”

"Intelligence networks? What is that, it sounds very powerful, Zhou Jun might as well talk about it carefully. ”

Zhou Ming: "...... How can you survive until now, it's your fate! ”

At this moment, the carriage, which was moving normally, suddenly stopped.

"Your Excellency!" Matsui Kyanobu's voice came from outside with a hint of trembling.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ming lifted the curtain and saw that they were opposite, blocked by another carriage.

When he saw the clan emblem on the carriage, Oda Heizou's eyes widened.

"Say what, what!"

"That's the Tokugawa family's crest!"

At this time, the carriage opposite also slowly lifted the curtain, and the two people sitting in the carriage, a middle-aged and a young man, were looking at each other opposite Zhou Ming.

"Oda-kun, long time no see."

In the carriage opposite, the middle-aged man spoke, greeting in a flat tone.

"Tokugawa Zoraka!"

Oda Heizou exclaimed in surprise.
