Chapter 179 Covering Ears and Stealing the Bell

Keiji Maeda haunts the sparrow house in Kiyosu Town all the year round, and almost all his savings are contributed there, but even if all his savings are added together, it is not enough for him to play happily once, which has also become a big regret in Maeda Keiji's heart, so, after that, he gave birth to the plan to be loyal to the Takayama clan, who let Owari Kuni, only his Takayama family has the best treatment and the highest reward.

And after he heard the lord talk about the silver card of the sparrow house just now, he couldn't help but have an idea, as the lord's close attendant, when the time comes, if he can use this card to go to spend, it will be great.

However, the silver card is only half price, and with his current humble income, it is still not enough to make himself happy, so he will do everything possible to let the clan buy the gold card.

In order to wait for the lord not to use, he can "borrow" it for use, if the cost is reduced to 10%, then he should be enough to save money.

The clan had long been annoyed by his tirade, and he only heard him say: "If you want to go, you will go, where is so much nonsense, when the time comes, as long as you identify yourself to the shopkeeper, go and return quickly." ”

Maeda Keiji saw that the lord was determined by his mind, although he still had doubts, but he didn't dare not to implement it, but he thought about it, I'm afraid that the lord had already paid the money before, but there was no card at the time, and now the card is here, let yourself pick it up, this is more in line with common sense, otherwise the lord will definitely not be so tough.

Besides, the lord has money, how can he let himself rob it, alas, it seems that it is still a step too late, if after he becomes a close attendant, the lord orders again, and he has to ask the lord to buy the gold card, it seems that in the future, he will have to save some money and go to the sparrow house. Thinking of this, although Maeda Keiji regretted it a little, he didn't dare to hesitate, and after answering, he walked out of the samurai mansion quickly.

As soon as he came out, Hori Hidemasa couldn't help but shake his head secretly, how did Keiji Maeda become a close attendant, and he didn't even know how much property the lord had, if he could be half as easy as him, thank God. Thinking of this, Hori Hidemasa has plans to be a close attendant to the clan.

The sparrow house in Kiyosu Town was not far from the samurai mansion where the clan lived, that is, the kung fu of the tea, when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, Maeda Keiji just stepped into the threshold with one foot, completely ignoring the faux pas, tore his voice, and shouted excitedly: "Lord, it turns out that you are the behind-the-scenes boss of the sparrow house, Ha Luha, I knew that Lu Dao was like this, why should my subordinates spend those unjust money, since the sparrow house is the family's property, when the subordinates go again in the future, they don't need to spend money."

Oh, by the way, my lord, can the money spent by his subordinates be returned, in fact, it is not much, only fifty... It's just more than 100 times, this amount of money, for the lord, is just a drop in the bucket, if the lord agrees, the subordinates will go to withdraw the money, haluha. ”

Seeing that Maeda Keiji was in front of outsiders, the clan couldn't help but be angry: "Presumptuous, leave the card, and don't let me get out."

Maeda Keiji saw that the lord was angry, and then realized that his performance just now was indeed a little too much, he hurriedly handed the silver card in his hand respectfully to the clan, and after accusing himself, he quickly retreated, but he thought as he walked, although the lord could not agree, but looking at the shopkeeper who left the sparrow house just now, his attitude towards himself was very respectful, if he went to free the order once in a while, it should not be a big problem. Thinking of this, Keiji Maeda's lost heart began to stir.

After Maeda Keiji walked out of the hall, the clan clan smiled slightly embarrassed and said, "Hehe, it's not strict under the rule of the next, so Hori-sama laughs." ”

Horihide Masachi clan is being polite to himself, and when he talks about other people's family affairs, he doesn't talk much, but he also smiled and said: "Lord Takayama, if you say that, then you will be an outsider." ”

The clan didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, and when he saw Horihide's political interest, he didn't say more, but he immediately changed the topic and said: "Hori-sama has helped so much this time, this is a little bit of heart, and please accept it, and this card is not named, if you don't use it, you can also lend it to others." ”

As he spoke, he put the silver card in his hand on the ground and gently pushed it towards Hidemasa Hori.

As soon as he saw that the clan sect ordered Maeda Keiji to go to the sparrow house to get the card, Hori Hidemasa had already guessed that the clan was planning to give this silver card to himself, although he had been fully mentally prepared, but when these words really came out of the mouth of the clan, he still couldn't help but start to get excited. ,

Hori Hidemasa couldn't help but think in his heart, this is a silver card, with his current status, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he will have to save for more than ten years, he never dared to imagine that one day, he will also get this coveted silver card, and it is anonymous, and when he returns to the castle tower, he must show off to Hasegawa Shuichi and Ho Naomasa.

Not only that, as long as this card is in hand, even if you want to become the head of the three close servants, it will be much easier. This Lord Gao Shan is really generous enough, and it is worth hundreds of yuan as soon as he makes a move, and not only is he generous, but this person is also very good, and he can't be provoked by anything in the future.

Fortunately, this time his attitude was resolute enough, and he stood on the side of Takayama-sama without even thinking about it, not only this time, but also unswervingly on Takayama-sama's side in the future, only in this way can he get the greatest benefits, as for that Kinoshita Toyoshiro, let him go to hell.

Usually, although Kinoshita Tojiro treats himself very politely, sometimes, he can also give away a few pieces of money, but that money is no different from not giving it compared to the silver card given by Takayama-sama, and this monkey is too stingy to compare with Takayama-sama, so I will break off my friendship with him in the future, so as not to displease Takayama-sama. The great god in front of him must not be offended.

Thinking of this, although Hori Hidemasa was excited, he had to pretend to excuse himself, anyway, he knew in his heart, as long as it was something that Takayama sent away, he had never taken it back, and when the time came, the silver card would still be his own, and it had left a good impression on Takayama-sama, so why not.

I heard Hori Hidemasa hurriedly excuse himself: "Lord Takayama, you are too polite, and it is just a gesture for the adults to go to the monkey to spread the word, and you can't accept anything with such a heavy gift, please take it back." ”

From time to time, the clan will give some benefits to the three close servants around Nobunaga, nothing more than to know what to do, and after a few years, these three people have done very well, as long as there is something going on with Nobunaga, they are basically the first to get the news.

Now that so many years have passed, they have become accustomed to those small favors, so it is time for a big gift, only in this way will they work harder, thinking of this" The clan did not fake politeness to him, and said directly: "If you are asked to accept it, you will accept it, where is so much nonsense, if you don't accept it......"

After hearing this, Hori Hidemasa hurriedly picked up the silver card on the floor, and while putting it in his arms, he said: "Since Takayama-sama is so resolute, then I will first replace Hasegawa Shuichi and Ho Naomasa's subordinates, if Takayama-sama is useful in the future in the place of the inferior three, please don't be polite." ”

"Hehe, the three adults will be useful to the clan sect in the future, please don't be polite." Seeing Hori Hidemasa's excited face, the clan was very satisfied, and then said politely.

"Definitely, definitely, Lord Takayama, it's not early now, if the adults have no other instructions, then I will say goodbye to the adults and go to the monkeys, hum this splash monkey, dare to destroy the friendship between the lower and the high mountains, this time I will not be able to spare him." Hori Hidemasa said the first half of the sentence very humbly, but at the mention of monkeys, his face immediately became gloomy.

"Then Hori-sama will bother." After saying that, the clan personally sent Hori Hidemasa out of the gate and watched him go farther and farther satisfied.

In the past few days, the monkey has been in a really good mood, and the Takayama clan has been steadily suppressing his own head, and finally let himself stink, and now the retainers of the Oda family have learned that they have formed an alliance with the Asai family, and the marriage is a slander of the Takayama clan sect to the lord, although there has been no radical violence, but invisibly, the retainers have isolated the Takayama clan.

Even in the last few days, the Sparrow House has been boycotted by the retainers of the Oda family, and the number of visitors has decreased by more than seventy percent compared to before. And the reason why this is the case is all thanks to him Kinoshita Toyoshiro.

A few days ago, as soon as the year-end assessment meeting ended, Kinoshita Toyoshiro immediately sent his retainers Kinoshita Koichiro, Asano Nagamasa and dozens of flags under his command, after disguise and disguise, to the major taverns in Owari, and the water tea house to spread rumors, and now not only most of the samurai of the Oda family are paying attention to this matter, but even the civilians in Owari are extremely concerned about this matter, so as soon as this rumor appears, it will immediately be like a flood of beasts, uncontrollable. And Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro didn't want to control it, according to his idea, let everyone in the world know about it.

And although Kinoshita Toyoshiro has a lot of money because of spreading rumors, he is extremely excited in his heart, and he can stink the Takayama clan with only a small amount of money, such a deal is really cost-effective.

Even if the Takayama clan can't be moved down this time, it can also make him hurt a lot, if the lord still wants to reuse him in the future, then he can't help but consider the thoughts of all the retainers in the family, and as long as the Takayama clan falls, with the lord's trust in himself, it is completely possible to replace his position in the lord's heart, if the lord can think of himself if there is anything good in the future, it will not take a few years, or more than ten years, he can become the first retainer of the Oda family.

Thinking of this, Kinoshita Tojiro began to get excited, he was just a farmer before he became a prince, and if he could become the lord of a country in the future, he should be able to leave a name in history.
