After determining the bottom line of the negotiation with Wang Zhi, Zhengliang immediately found Wang Zhiyi's son, Wang Cao, who was still waiting, and put forward several requirements of the Luo family:

First of all, if Wang Zhi hopes that the Luo family will not mind his previous move to tear up the agreement between the two parties, then the other party will first return the Zhen Island Islands (the main island group located above, middle, and lower Zhen Island off the coast of Satsuma Province) and the coastal islands of the Osumi Strait (Tanegashim, Yakushima, Iwo Jima, Kuroshima and other islands near the Osumi Strait) to the Luo family's naval army. As for the islands such as the Naha Islands, which have been controlled by the other side's naval forces, the Luo family admits their ownership.

Secondly, after returning the above-mentioned islands to the control of the Luo family's naval army, the Luo family can return the more than 200 Ming pirates captured from the Shimazu family to Wang Zhi's side, but they need to exchange one Ming prisoner for two slaves, of which half of the male and female slaves are selected.

In fact, among the islands and ships controlled by Wang Zhi, there were many Ming slaves. These slaves were all from the population that the other side plundered during the plundering of the Ming coast. The young men will serve as their coolies, and the women will be used for them to play with. In the previous trade between Zhengliang and Wang Zhi, he also continued to buy these slaves from the other party. Now to make such a trade request can be regarded as the salvation of some more slaves.

For what happened along the coast of the Ming Kingdom, with the ability of Zhengliang, he could only prevent the territory personnel from joining the opponent's camp, and the rest were also powerless. But in fact, because the Luo family controlled the coast of Kyushu Island, it had reduced a lot of population and entered Wang Zhi's fleet to become a Japanese coward. As for places such as Shikoku and Tokaido. Due to the distance. Moreover, Wang Zhi was not familiar with the local forces and the people. Therefore, Wang Zhi has always recruited very limited manpower there. This is also the reason why Wang Zhi values the two hundred Ming pirates who were captured by the Luo family so much.

It is precisely because Zhengliang played a lot of roles in the elimination of the Japanese Kou that after being told by Shi Shi that he knew the Shaolin Temple monks when Zhengliang visited the coastal areas of the Ming Kingdom, these monks actually had the intention of visiting the territory of the Luo family. In this regard, Zhengliang naturally agreed very much, and even personally wrote a letter of invitation, strongly inviting the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple and the monks who have attained the Tao to come. For this reason, Zhengliang has already figured out how to use these Shaolin monks to increase the reputation of the Luo family and maintain stability in his territory.

Of course, for Zhengliang's invitation, Zhengliang has not received a reply from Shaolin Temple at this time. I'm sure they'll come sooner or later. If the negotiation with Wang Zhi is successful this time, the safety and stability of the sea trade route from the coast of the Ming Kingdom to Luo's family will be more guaranteed, and the senior monks of the Shaolin Temple will come even more.

For this reason, Zhengliang also put forward the last negotiation condition with Wang Zhi, that is, Wang Zhi's forces were required to provide armed protection for the Luo family's sea passage from the coast of the Ming Kingdom to the Luo family's territory, for which the Luo family would provide a certain share of interests. This is equivalent to proposing a closer and greater trade agreement to Wang Zhi.

Although the first two negotiation conditions did make Wang Zhi very dissatisfied, when he saw the third request, Wang Zhi agreed to Zhengliang's request soon after receiving the negotiation conditions brought back by his righteous son Wang Xuan.

So, after deciding on the topic content. The two sides immediately began more detailed negotiations around these three conditions, especially the third one.

And just as the Luo family was negotiating with Wang Zhi, in the study of Oda Nobunaga in the distant Kiyoshu City of Owari Province. Oda Nobunaga was also talking with Aichi Juami and Maeda Matazaemon Toshi's two close attendants.

"Again," Oda Nobunaga said to Maeda Toshiie, "Ten Ami always calls you 'dog', aren't you angry?" ”

Usually in the Oda family, Aichi Ten Ami often laughed at Maeda Toshi's milk name "Inu Chiyo", added bad words, and even stole Maeda Toshi's ornaments, and the lord Oda Nobunaga always favored Aichi Ten Ami because of his personal love.

Maeda Toshiie raised his head and looked at the lord Oda Nobunaga sternly. Yes, the talented Aichi Ju Ami thinks that Maeda Toshiya is unresponsive, and even though Maeda Toshiya is an adult, he still calls him by his milk name, and even calls him "dog". When Maeda Toshiya is angry, he will also respond: "Little clever egg! But Maeda Toshiya was a little puzzled by the question of the lord Oda Nobunaga at this time.

"A dignified samurai, he was called a 'dog' by the milky Ten Ami, aren't you really angry?"

"Of course I'm angry."

"Then, tonight, you go outside the corner tower of the city and kill the ten ami. Show the courage of a samurai and don't be soft. ”

"Huh?" Maeda Toshiya was taken aback and looked back at Ju Aji.

It's just that Shiami, who is known for her woman-like beauty and sharp teeth (or poisonous tongue), is smiling and shaking her head without saying a word. Suddenly, a rush of enthusiasm rushed to the head of Maeda Toshi's head, and he thought to himself: "This bastard, teasing me again!" ”

"How?" Oda Nobunaga said, "But I strictly forbid my subordinates to fight. If you want to kill him, you have to expel him first. After hearing this, Maeda Toshiya finally understood Oda Nobunaga's intentions, which was to pretend to kill Ten Ami......

"Where is the destination?" After figuring it out, Maeda Toshiya immediately asked seriously. It's just that Ten Ami laughed "hehe" again.

Maeda Toshiya couldn't help but turn around and ask angrily at Ten Ami, "What's so strange?" You are so rude. ”

Ten Ami lowered her head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry." But I still can't help it. Do you care where I will be sent to me, the one who angers the Lord? ”

Oda Nobunaga suddenly turned to Juami, "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood."

"Well, I won't say more. Ten Ami, you are going to be killed by the left. ”

"Yes."

Oda Nobunaga also smiled "hehe". He smiled and looked at the courtyard, then at the next room and stood up.

"This must be done smoothly!" With that, he quietly left the study.

"Ten Ami!"

"What's the matter, dog?"

"You're clever enough to say you know your destination. Is that the end of it? ”

"Say so. Dogs don't know their destination yet? ”

". Cast a mist before somebody's eyes! ”

"You can also play tricks. I'm going to disappear from this world. ”

"Where to go?"

"That world."

"Ten Ami, do you want to hide your whereabouts from me?"

"The Lord has already said, I will let you kill. Since he was killed, the destination was, of course, that world. Could it be that after the dog was killed, he was still preparing to travel to the area of Suruga Province in the form of a human? ”

Maeda Toshiie's fist on his lap creaked. If the monkey Kinoshita Toyoshiro is eloquent, but also thoughtful, Aichi Ten Ami's mouth is completely sarcastic and sarcastic that hurts people's self-esteem.

Maeda Toshiya held back his anger and said with a smile, "Even if you are killed." I guess I have a grudge in my heart. Where will the resentful soul be reborn? ”

"Hahaha...... "Ten Ami laughed, "is this the conclusion of the dog's deliberation?" It's so much fun! But even if you are confused, don't go to the same place with my resentful spirit. Otherwise, you will be seen as a laughing stock by future generations. ”

Maeda Toshiya felt a wave of anger rush through his heart, but he finally suppressed it.

"Then I'll see you outside the corner tower of the city." He grabbed his knife and jerked to his feet.

Ten Ami hurriedly caught up and said, "You really understand? If not, then put aside the face of the man and beg me to teach you. The same is true of the lord. Maeda Toshiie didn't answer. Teng Teng walked outside.

Aichi Juami's handsome face twitched and grinned. He didn't know why he was teasing Maeda Toshiya like this. He knows it well. Maeda Toshiie has an honest personality and a good character. He also admired Maeda's ability, courage and simplicity. But as soon as he saw Maeda Toshiya's serious appearance, as well as his unusually calm and expressionless face, Juami couldn't help but want to tease him. Perhaps because both of them were young and competitive, they met opponents in chess, so they competed for favor in front of the lord Oda Nobunaga.

It's not good to go too far. Ten Ami reminded himself of this all the time, but when he came to his senses, the harsh sarcasm and sarcasm had already whipped at the other party like a whip. But in his heart, he respects and relies on Maeda Toshiya very much. This certainly seems rude, but it is undoubtedly an intimate expression.

Whenever I see Ten Ami's harsh sarcasm and tired Maeda Toshi's family, everyone else is secretly worried. The lord, Oda Nobunaga, knew that Maeda Toshiya must have a grudge against Maeda, so he asked him to kill Juami.

And when Ten Ami heard this, he didn't feel happy. Maeda Toshiya was expelled after murder; Ten Amimin was killed and secretly expelled. The deported can come back at any time, while the dead will naturally disappear without a trace. With his keen intuition, Ten Ami decided to go to Mikawa in the country of Mikawa, and went to meet Matsudaira Motoyasu's important ministers, and told their lord Oda Nobunaga that he had no intention of being an enemy of Matsudaira Motoyasu.

Thinking about it, Imagawa Yoshimoto had at least tens of thousands of troops when he went to Luo, and after the main family divided part of their forces to the border of Mino Province to guard against Saito Yoshiryu's army, there were only a few thousand troops to resist the Imagawa family. Under such circumstances, the people of Mikawa will definitely fight to the death in order to ensure the safety of the territory in this expedition. To subdue such an army, the Oda family would have had to sacrifice the lives of many soldiers. Since there is no inevitability of fighting to the death with the people of Mikawa, why not take the initiative to make an agreement with the other party to have a fake war, so that the people of Mikawa can feel at ease and at the same time give Imagawa Yoshimoto an explanation.

Moreover, the lord Oda Nobunaga did not let Juami return quickly after completing the mission. At least when Imagawa Yoshimoto enters the capital, monitor whether the Mikawa people will meet the army supporting Imagawa Yoshimoto, or find a way to dodge, and inform the lord Oda Nobunaga of the results of the investigation. To do this, take yourself hostage in order to reassure the people of Mikawa. "Pretending to be killed" is especially necessary.

What about Toshiya Maeda, who was expelled for "killing" Ten Ami? He could hide in the house of Agu Ju Ku Matsusato Mamori, and repeat what Ten Ami said to the people of Mikawa to Matsudaira Motoyasu's biological mother, Mrs. Yu. And through guò Yu Dai, intentionally or unintentionally to convey the same message to Mizuno Nobugen and Mikawa's retainers in Kariya Castle.

Ten Ami quickly understood this and told Sù Maeda Toshiya not to go to Sunfu Province; But the honest Maeda Toshiya seems to have misunderstood the meaning of Ten Ami, and he understands that he is going to tell the meaning of the lord Oda Nobunaga to Matsudaira Motoyasu. In that case, once the matter is revealed, Imagawa Yoshimoto will even kill Matsudaira Motoyasu.

Ten Ami quietly waits for the night to come, and asks Mori Shinsuke to judge the rights and wrongs of the two verbal quarrels. Fortunately, a night thief happened to be executed at this time. Ten Ami covered the corpse with a straw mat, "Aichi Ten Ami and Maeda Matamata Saemon had a lot of quarrels on weekdays, and finally it developed into an armed duel out of control, and Ten Ami was killed and left was expelled. ”

Ten Ami imagined the above scene in his heart, waiting for the night to fall. In order to avoid people's eyes, Ten Ami deliberately put on gorgeous clothes and pretended to be a waiter who secretly went out of the city to admire the moon. Finally the appointed moment came. Ten Ami hung a flute around his waist and quietly went out of the city.

Outside the corner tower, the ancient maple stretched out its dense branches and leaves. Above the newly renovated earthen wall, a bright moon hung high, and the sound of frogs could be heard in the distance.

Ten Ami untied the flute from his waist and blew it. The thought of disappearing from this city made him feel emotional. There was still some time before the agreed time, and he wanted to enjoy playing the flute while he waited.

At this moment, there seemed to be movement in the vertebral grove opposite the maple tree. Mori Shinsuke couldn't have come so early. Who is it? Ten Ami walked over in confusion, "Who?" ”

(There will be a change later!) (To be continued......)
