"Interesting." After Toyoshiro stepped down from Oda Nobunaga, he immediately returned to the kitchen stove, "Come on, Munehisa, make an account book." ”

"What books?"

"I'm going to buy miso."

"Huh? Miso again? Didn't you go out with Kizo Shigetuda before and bought a lot of it? I've got enough of it now! ”

"It's still not enough." Fujiyoshiro shook his head and said seriously: "Oda Nobu-sama is going to fight in the city. As a result, the families of the retainers outside the city will also move into the city. Rice and wheat may be enough, but miso is still not enough. ”

"Well, boil the soybeans right away......"

"No, no. Soybeans have a use for soybeans, so you have to buy miso from the people's homes. Make a book. ”

Munehisa stared blankly at Fujiyoshiro's face, and then cut a piece of Mino paper and made an account book.

"Alright, bring me pen and ink." Zong Jiu obediently took the inkstone. Fujiyoshiro, who has never seen a handwriting, actually grabbed a pen and wrote on the cover of the account book: Odor account book. He took the trouble to pick up the account book and hung it around his waist.

"I'm not in the kitchen, and when the sauce comes, you just have to take it." Toyoshiro strode out.

There's nothing more refreshing than staking your life. Oda Nobunaga continued to act as Fujiyoshiro had expected. In this way, Fujiyoshiro can use his wisdom to win this big gamble of life. He bet on Oda Nobunaga's fierce horse, and this fierce horse will probably gallop until the last moment of his life. Fujiyoshiro thought as he walked, and kept walking out of the city to the moat.

"Who is going to buy the miso again?" Those high-minded ministers will definitely not be able to do it. Then let Hattori Koheita and Ikeda Shinzaburo go. Or is it Mori Shinsuke? "Hmm. It's better to have Kizo Shigetuda and others. Toyoshiro finally decided.

Fujiyoshiro felt that among so many people in the family. Only Kizo Shigetada is the most compatible with him, and he can quickly understand his true intentions, just like the last time Oda Nobunaga asked him to buy miso sauce, it was he and Kizo Shigenada who understood Oda Nobunaga's true intentions, and Kizo Shigetada was also very cooperative with his Fujiyoshiro work in the future, so this time it was better to ask Kizo Shigetada to help.

It's just that Muzo Shigezhong is now a subordinate of Liang Tian Zhenggang, so I still have to talk to Liang Tian Zhenggang first. And Liang Tian Zhenggang lived in Sandao City, so he went straight to Liang Tian Zhenggang's residence.

"What, the monkeys are coming?" Ryota Masatsuna completely disapproves of Fujiyoshiro's abilities. He believes that Fujiyoshiro is reused entirely because of the peculiar preferences of the lord. When he learned that Fujiyoshiro had been promoted to kitchen supervisor, he was very unconvinced. Now that the monkey actually came to visit at night, Liang Tian Zhenggang reluctantly greeted the door. "Is there a hurry?"

"Exactly." With a stern expression, Fujiyoshiro untied the ledger from his waist.

"What is it?"

"Books."

"Books, what do you mean?"

"Buy the miso's errand book."

"Buy miso again? Haven't you already bought it before? You've also seconded a lot of people from me, so I'm understaffed, and now Imagawa Yoshimoto is about to be killed, and I'm in dire need of manpower here. "Obviously. Liang Tian Masatsuna is a little reluctant to cooperate with Fujiyoshiro's work.

"Hehe, this is the lord's order." Tojiro smiled. Then he said. Seeing Liang Tian Masada's attitude, Fujiyoshiro rarely said it again, and moved out of Oda Nobunaga directly.

Sure enough, after hearing that it was the order of the lord Oda Nobunaga, Ryoda Masatsune's expression became stern and tangled, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Come in." With that, he went to the parlor, and it was clear that he would eventually have to cooperate with Fujiyoshiro's work.

"How many more are you going to have this time?"

"I'd like to borrow six clever people from your lordship, and Kizo Shigetashi is indispensable among them." Before he could sit down, Fujiyoshiro said. Seeing Liang Tian staring at him in surprise, he hurriedly added: "Oda Nobu-sama has decided to fight in the city, and a large amount of miso will be needed at that time. ”

"What, the lord said to defend the city...... Says who? "Although the lord Oda Nobunaga did let people buy miso on a large scale before, no one thought that this was related to the lord's decision to cage the castle war? Besides, why is it that you still have to continue to buy miso on a large scale at this tense moment?

"No one said anything, I saw it." Fujiyoshiro's expression suddenly became stern, "I may have to go to the area of Narumi and Kasa Temple to buy soybean sauce, and even go to the area of Anxiang and Kariya Castle again." Please lend me four or six clever fellows. He flipped through the books, holding the pen awkwardly in his hand, "Who are you borrowing?" I'm going to write down their names......"

"Okay!" Liang Tian Masatsuna stared at Fujiyoshiro tightly for a long time before finally agreeing.

"That's right. Even if the war had already begun, until the war began to burn to the Owari border, they had to actively continue to buy miso everywhere. Toyoshiro continued.

"Huh?"

"Returned after the outbreak of war. Because of this, the average person may have lost their lives before they returned. The so-called clever people...... I just want them to know what's going on, you know? Fujiyoshiro began to teach Liang Tian Masatsuna.

Liang Tian Zhenggang closed his mouth and stared at him closely. He hesitated because the little man in front of him was particularly pleasing to Oda Nobunaga, and he understood Oda Nobunaga's mind better than anyone else.

"Adults don't have to think too much about it. Just pick someone who is clever enough to buy miso from the people and can come back safely after the outbreak of war......" As he spoke, he smiled as wrinkles began to build up on Fujiyoshiro's forehead. "Your Excellency is the most cautious among the generals, so I came to ask you."

Liang Tian Zhenggang didn't answer, and leaned forward, "Is it disguised as an eyeliner to buy sauce?" He only now understood the role of these people, and he even realized why the lord had bought the miso in a big way.

Fujiyoshiro waved his hand. "Buying miso is buying miso."

"Okay. I'll give you six people. ”

Fujiyoshiro only nodded arrogantly and did not thank him: "Someday, these outstanding people will come in handy. I wrote down their names. He flipped through the ledger and held the pen in a strange position.

"Kizo Shigetada, Nerai Taroji, Hashiba Masahus, Yasui Kiyobei, Tabata Goshichiro, Mukai Sunbei." Liang Tian Zhenggang said. While watching the posture of Fujiyoshiro holding the pen steadily. Hold back a smile. The kitchen head with an arrogant tone like a minister. It's actually a person who can't even write people's names. What the hell is this guy all about?

Just when Liang Tian's political platform was puzzled, Fujiyoshiro said like a river: "Now the situation has changed. The so-called learning of the past is no longer applicable. If you are deeply bound by outdated knowledge, you will be too burdened to move an inch. So, I firmly believe that I am learning. Call those six people here right now. ”

Liang Tian Zhenggang was speechless for a while, this kitchen supervisor seemed to have regarded him as a retainer or subordinate. Incredibly, however, the platform did not feel so angry.

When Fujiyoshiro left the residence of Masatsuna Ryota. It was four o'clock in the evening. But he didn't care, and said to the six samurai who lent him: "From this day forward, you are my retainers, and you must act according to my instructions." His tone was like a lesson to his son.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will naturally complete the task you assigned." Kizo Shigetada, the leader of the six, said immediately.

It's also a coincidence that not long after joining the Oda family, he was first responsible for guarding the city gates, and later he was brought under the command of Liang Tian Zhenggang and became the detective of the Oda family, which happened to be his contact with the intelligence cabinet personnel of the Luo family outside the city.

For this time Imagawa Yoshimoto's Kamiro. The lord is also very concerned, and the Luo family has also taken action during this period. As for himself, according to the order of the lord and the lord, there is no need to consider the situation of the Luo family, but to completely regard himself as a member of the Oda family and do his best to do things for the Oda family. This time, he will secretly use the power of the Luo Family Intelligence Pavilion in Tokaido, and use his identity to provide information to the Oda family.

After the six of them joined Fujiyoshiro, they arrived at the residence of Hayashi Sado, a retainer of the Oda family. Lin Sado's residence is also in Sandao Castle, and the gate is very spectacular, and the gate is strictly controlled.

An ancient pine tree covers the gate, and the chirping of owls can be heard. Kizo Shigetada and Fujiyoshiro couldn't help but laugh when they heard that call, and Kizo Shigetada thought that Hayashi Sado, who had a stern expression, looked a little like this owl, and this owl had always considered himself the mainstay of the Oda family.

"Anyone?" Since everyone knew that there was a gatekeeper standing under the pine tree, Fujiyoshiro immediately shouted loudly to him.

The gatekeeper was taken aback and came over and asked, "What's the matter?" Our master has rested. ”

"Kitchen supervisor Kinoshita Tojiro has 100,000 urgent matters to tell your master, report it immediately." Hearing this, a man ran in in a panic, and after a while, staggered back and opened the door to let Fujiyoshiro in.

"Come in!" Fujiyoshiro held his head high and walked in with the six people of Kizo Shigetada. At this time, Lin Sado was already standing on the steps waiting for him, with a stern expression to maintain his authority in front of his subordinates.

"Monkeys? It's so late, what's the matter? Lin Zuodu asked impatiently.

I saw Fuji Yoshiro give a big salute, "Kitchen supervisor Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro, go buy miso from now on, and I'm about to leave the city and come to quit." ”

"Buy miso again? Whose order? Lin Sado glanced at the six people behind Fujiyoshiro, including Kizo Shigetada.

Fujiyoshiro replied in a loud voice, "Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro is a retainer of Oda Nobuto. ”

"You?" Lin Zuodu snorted, "The lord and you are really a good pair!" Didn't you already buy Kokuda sauce before? Is there so little soy sauce that you have to go out of the city at night to buy it? ”

"Yes. Demand immediate action. If the defense of the city begins, it will be too late. ”

"Defending the city? Says who? Is it the lord? ”

"I can't say it in words. In short, this matter should not be delayed, please command the city gates to be opened. Farewell! ”

Lin Sado looked at Fujiyoshiro who turned away with a stern expression, and was silent for a while. Since the monkey said such a thing, it must be because the lord had already revealed similar information, and thinking of this, Lin Sado, who was nearly fifty years old, seemed to hear the loud sound of the collapse of the Oda family. He muttered, "Why don't you call yourself a vassal to the Imagawa family for the time being, and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback......

At this time, Toyoshiro's triumphant voice was heard, "The gatekeeper has worked hard. Hold the portal! ”

After seeing such a situation, Kizo Shigetada, who was a bystander, couldn't help but think in his heart, at such a critical moment. Any retainer of a daimyo would split into the main war faction and the peace faction. Oda Nobunaga disagreed. Many important ministers are already worried about this.

Oda Nobunaga believed that this battle would be lost or killed. However, the peacemakers still felt that there was a third way to go, that is, to temporarily surrender to the Imagawa family in order to preserve the fundamentals. In Kizo Shigetada's view, Fujiyoshiro seemed to know that Hayashi Sado was a peacemaker, so he went out of his way to visit his mansion.

"It's really a headache to have such a lord! Such a family is not a powerful family. In comparison, his own lord is more excellent, that is, under the leadership of such an excellent lord. This family has become the overlord of Kyushu and the western country. ”

Just when Mu Zao sighed secretly, on this side, after going out, Fujiyoshiro suddenly laughed, "Lin Sado heard that there was going to be a battle to defend the city, and his forehead was wrinkled. If he says I'm a monkey, he's a leper monkey. Hahaha! ”

Hearing Fujiyoshiro's unbridled laughter, the six Kizo Shigetada couldn't help but look at each other. Except for the wooden Zhongzhong, the rest of the people were already puzzled: why did the adults agree to let me wait for such a person to run errands for him?

Arrived near the longhouse where the Ashigaru samurai lived. In the cherry blossom forest in front of the training ground, Nerataroji, one of the six, finally couldn't bear it anymore. So he said, "Why don't you go out of the city tonight to buy miso?" ”

"Nope." Fujiyoshiro shook his head slightly, "No. Let's have a drink in my room tonight. ”

"Huh? Could it be that he just said that there were 100,000 urgent things to tell Lord Sù Hayashi Sado, he was lying? ”

"No, if you lie, then won't you become a person who makes fun of the old family? However, although it is not a lie, it can confuse him...... Your name is Genlai? Tomorrow we will start from the castle and buy the miso . ”

"As far as I know, the adults have already purchased the koku-once miso with Kizo Zhongzhong and others, right? I'm afraid that the people's homes have not much of sauce in reserve at this time, if they buy it again, and they don't sell it, will it be a theft or a robbery? ”

"Nonsense! Who doesn't know that Owari Kuniji under the rule of Oda Nobunaga is not forgotten? Merchants from all over the world who came to do business said that only the people of Owari were the only ones in the world who could stay open at night. Do you think Nobubuta Oda will allow you to rob? ”

"But what if they hide the miso and don't sell it?"

"Hmph...... You can go to the next one. In short, this operation was extremely secret, and the Imagawa family was about to attack, and Oda Nobunaga had already decided to defend the city and fight. But you can also divulge the purpose of the trip. ”

"Huh? Divulging such a heavy secret? ”

"But don't make a big fuss, be mysterious."

Except for Kizo Shigetada, who already knew the true purpose of the acquisition of Daimio, the other five seemed to finally realize the purpose of the trip and nodded to each other.

"As a result, we feel much brighter and more relaxed. Where do you go when the city is over? ”

"That Kono, Gudu, Atsuta, and then enter the Nishimikawa from Chita-gun. You say that Miso might come in handy during the defense of the city. As they spoke, they arrived at Fujiyoshiro's room. Fujiyoshiro's current house is exactly opposite Fujii Mataemon's.

"Wine! Visitor, visitor. Fujiyoshiro shouted loudly in front of the room, looked back at the six of them, and smiled happily.

The room next to the stairs is the outer hall of Fujiyoshiro. On both sides of the corridor, there are many young samurai's bedrooms and kitchens, and at the end there are several rooms. In other words, this is the room of a young samurai with a family room, and Fujiyoshiro is still single. He was going to have the six temporary retainers live here tonight.

"Is there any wine? Ahu. Fujiyoshiro said to a young man who still had his forehead hair.

The man looked dazed. "There's wine, but there's no food."

"You go to the Fujii family in front of you and ask Miss Yae for some food. A total of six guests. ”

"Yes." It was not Ah Hu who answered, but a young samurai of twenty-seven or eighteen years old.

"Sit, don't be polite. Let's discuss it first, and hopefully tomorrow will be a qiē shun lì. Fujiyoshiro threw the sword at his waist behind him roughly, "Maybe Lord Ryota Masazuna has already told you that there will be a war on the way to buy the sauce." After the outbreak of war, I hope you will be able to return to your master in order. ”

"In order?"

"Can't come back together. In addition, I hope that when you return, you will report to Masatsuna-sama where the enemy general Yoshimoto Imagawa lived, where he passed, and where he was going. You must see this qiē clearly. ”

"So, where do you start in the first place?" Hashiba asked.

"It starts when I leave Chita-gun and am about to arrive at Nishimikawa."

"Do you only need to report the movements of the main force and not pay attention to the actions of other generals?"

Fujiyoshiro nodded simply, "The others are not worth mentioning. Within one day, he reported the situation to Lord Liang Tian Zhenggang twice. ”

"Understood!" Xiangjing Sun Bingwei replied loudly, and added solemnly, "Very clear. ”

"Whether Lord Liang Tian Zhenggang can get ahead in this war is up to you. The lord of the political platform may also have to go out of the city to fight, and he must keep an eye on the master at all times...... If you are so stupid that you don't even know the movements of your master, hum! ”

"Understood."

"Don't forget that Jì said that I bought the miso for the first battle of the city, and only in this way can I save your lives." The last time he went out to buy miso with Kizo Shigetada, he said the same.

"Why?" Nerai Taroji asked.

"Think about it, if you let the enemy know that there will be a siege battle, before reaching Qingzhou City, who will bother to draw a sword and kill people?"

"I see!" The crowd finally understood.

"Since this mission is so important, then the place where Imagawa Yoshimoto's army passes through will be handed over to the next generation." At this time, Kizaku Shigetada, who had been silent since he came out of Lin Sadu, suddenly said.

"Shhh Who knew that at this tense moment, the closer to the place where Imagawa Yoshimoto was, the stricter the precautions there, the higher the danger Cheng dù, and now Kizo Shigetada actually took the initiative to apply for this dangerous mission, which immediately made the other five people can't help but let out a surprised exhalation.

"Hahaha...... I knew you were going to ask for it, so I'll leave it to you. Fujiyoshiro seemed to have known that Kizo Shigetada would do this, and immediately laughed and agreed to Kizo Shigetada's request.

At this time, Ah Hu also brought out the wine. The sake is served in a red pot that is often used in field battles; There were no wine glasses, just a few bowls on worn-out trays.

"Come, drink. We're about to part. Fujiyoshiro slowly got up and poured himself a full bowl. (To be continued......)
