"Oops!" As soon as he saw Ichiro Yamamoto and the others, Shibuya Makiyo strode forward and said with an exaggerated face, "It is worthy of the famous Yamamoto-sama, and it is indeed worthy of the name!" ”

"It's a great blessing that the Tsugawa family has a retainer like an adult!" Shibuya Makiyo went down with a sycophant, almost making Ichiro Yamamoto almost unable to find Kita.

Because he was just an ordinary peasant soldier, Ichiro Yamamoto has always had an inferiority complex about his background. Although he is now an important minister of the Tsugawa family and the lord of a city, Ichiro Yamamoto always feels a little unable to raise his head when facing other retainers.

In addition, Ichiro Yamamoto was able to get the attention of Soji Tsugawa back then, and it was more because of the help of Ichiro Yamamoto's wife and brother-in-law Rokuro Umino, which made Ichiro Yamamoto even more empty-hearted.

Although he was lucky enough to gain some feats on the battlefield, and succeeded Yoshikawa Hiroya and Miki Naogo as the leader of the Taidao team, Yamamoto Ichiro still lacked self-confidence. Now that he was suddenly boasted of by the head of a wealthy family, who was famous and a powerful minister of the Tsugawa family, Ichiro Yamamoto felt that he was instantly taller.

However, as soon as he swelled for a while, Ichiro Yamamoto found that NM Shibuya Makiyo was standing beside him Shimazu and Saburo and said these words to Shimazu and Saburo. Ichiro Yamamoto's face suddenly began to darken.

Shimazu and Saburo on the side of "......." were also confused, and then said to Shibuya Makiyo in embarrassment, "Shibuya-sama, Shimazu and Saburo, the lord of Shimominezawa Castle, and the one next to him is Yamamoto-sama." ”

Shibuya Masashi "........."

"Ahem!" Ichiro Yamamoto coughed slightly, and then came to Shibuya's side.

Shibuya Makiyo quickly reacted, and then said with an unchanged face, "Wow, I was fascinated by Shimazu-sama's demeanor just now." I always thought that Yamamoto-sama's demeanor should be like this, but I didn't expect the real Yamamoto-sama to be even more majestic! ”

"Haha!" Ichiro Yamamoto laughed and said, "I just like honest people like Shibuya-sama. Although he is just an ordinary retainer of the family, what Shibuya-sama said is indeed the truth! People like Zai Xia can't hide their light even in the crowd! "Ichiro Yamamoto still has any inferiority complex at this time, he is simply a complete narcissist.

Shibuya Makiyo quietly touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and thought speechlessly, "Are all the retainers of the Tsugawa family this virtue??? It was a surprise. ”

"Lord Yamamoto, I've already let people prepare a meal, and I invite the two adults to move, so that the family can enjoy the friendship of the landlord!" Shibuya made a "please" gesture and said respectfully.

Ichiro Yamamoto nodded, and then said, "There's Shibuya-sama!" After solving the task of the main bus generation this time, I will definitely say a lot of kind words for Shibuya-sama in front of the lord. The lord is very fond of samurai like Shibuya-sama. ”

"Thank you, Yamamoto-sama, then." Shibuya Makiyoshi immediately said gratefully.

"Originally, the family prepared a dinner party last night, but you have been waiting for a long time, and the family will definitely treat the two adults well today!" Shibuya Shinkiyo continued.

After saying that, Shibuya Makiyo took Ichiro Yamamoto and Shimazu Yozaburo and others into the castle tower.

........

At the same time, the capital of the Honma family is in Kuchi Castle, and the head of the Honma family, Tokithaya Honma, called his two sons, Honma Masayasu and Honma Masaharu, to his side.

"Taro, Jiro, the unknown force that appeared in Ryotsu Bay yesterday has been clarified, and it is the strength of the Tsugawa family in Dewa Province." Honma Tokitai said expressionlessly.

Honma Masayasu hurriedly said, "Father, how could the Tsugawa family's forces suddenly arrive on Sado Island?" What is the purpose of the Tsugawa family? ”

Honma Tokitai shook his head, "No matter what the Tsugawa family is here for, it's not a good thing for the family!" Now Sado is in chaos in the country, and Honma Sadanao and Honma Takaki are competing with the family for Sado's hegemony. ”

"Now that a Tsugawa family has suddenly appeared, the situation on Sado Island is even more confusing." Honma Tokitai said worriedly.

At this moment, a waiter walked in from outside and whispered, "My lord, there is a samurai outside the city who claims to be an envoy of the Tsugawa family, asking to see you." ”

"An envoy of the Tsugawa family?" Hearing this, Honma Tokitai slowly stood up from the ground, and after hesitating for a moment, Honma Tokitai said, "That's it, it's a blessing or a curse, you can see it at first sight." ”

"Taro, go and invite the messenger of the Tsugawa family on my behalf." Honma Shitai said slowly.

"Hah!"

After Honma Masatasu left, Honma Tokitai walked back and forth in the hall for a while before sitting down.

A quarter of an hour later, Honma Masatasu brought Shuichiro Yagyu in.

As soon as Shuichiro Yagyu walked into the castle tower, the eyes of Tokitaya Honma, Masaharu Honma and others fell on Shuichiro Yagyu, and it can be said that they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Feeling the gaze of Honma Tokitai and others, Yagyu Shuiichiro quietly bowed to Honma Tokita, and then said slowly, "In Shimotsugawa, the general of the family and the lord of Toshima Castle, Yagyu Shuiichiro has seen Honma-sama!" ”

"It turned out to be Yagyu-sama, I have admired the daimyo for a long time, please take a seat!" Honma Tokitai said to Shuichiro Yagyu with a smile on his face.

To be honest, although Tokitaya Honma, who had been on Sado Island for a long time, knew that there was a Tsugawa family that had suddenly risen in Dewa, a retainer like Shuichiro Yagyu really didn't know. But Honma Shitai is not one of those hairy boys with strong blood, and he knows that some people can't be offended.

Seeing that Honma Tokitsu had a good attitude, Yagyu Shuichiro's mood improved a little, but Yagyu Shuichiro came this time to vent, and Honma Tokitsu and others were good targets for venting...........

"Honma-sama!" After sitting down, before Honma Shitai spoke, Yagyu Shuiichiro said with a cold face, "I'm a straight person, and some words are not hidden." The reason why my family sent troops to Sado Island this time was because my family's merchant ship was plundered by a certain force on Sado Island half a month ago. After some investigation by my family, I found that this incident was done by your own family. ”

"Now, please give me an explanation in the next step."

"Otherwise, when the time comes, it won't be the next person, but the thousands of troops in our own family!" Shuichiro Yanagi said directly and threatened.

Shuichiro Yanagi made such a sudden "big operation" and directly told everyone in the Honma family.

"Raiding the merchant ships of the Tsugawa family? Home? How can it be! ”

"Is Yagyu-sama mistaken, how could my family plunder your merchant ships? Is there any misunderstanding in this? Honma asked with an anxious expression.

Unmoved, Shuichiro Yanagi continued, "The Shibuya family has already verified the Shibuya family before, and the Shibuya family has confirmed that this matter was done by your Honma family!" ”

"There's no need to quibble." Shuichiro Yanagi waved his hand and interrupted Tokitai Honma, who was about to say something.

"There are only two paths before you now. Either compensate for the losses of the family and send hostages to the family, and from then on belong to the family. Either you cut your stomach, and the family may be able to let you live. Shuichiro Yagyu continued.

"The Tsukawa family is too deceitful!" As soon as Shuichiro Yagyu finished speaking, Masamari Honma on the opposite side couldn't help it, and immediately stood up and pointed at Shuichiro Yanagi and said angrily.

"Huh? Too much deception? Yagyu Shuiichiro pursed his lips, and then said disdainfully to Honma Tokitai on the main seat, "Whether it is bullying you or not, it depends on what Honma-sama decides." ”
