After putting his thoughts away, Riku sighed and said to Harano.
"We must be more careful at home from now on. His Majesty Oda may be wary of his master."
After hearing Riku's words, Yangno's heart clenched. The relationship between the Maeda family in Owari is intricate, and there are always some channels to know some secrets.
"Rikyu-sama should be more detailed. I don't understand why Yoshigan-sama is glorious outside but the Shiba family is sad in Owari."
Riku also felt frustrated and said.
"After all, the Shiba family is the nominal master of Owari country. Even if the master's Shiba family is not recognized by the samurai family, it is because women are inferior to men, which is due to gender.
Nowadays, the Lord's reputation is gradually rising, and His Majesty Oda has to worry about his identity as the legitimate son of the Shiba clan. "
This time the Northern Expedition was well prepared, and the samurai all believed that Oda Nobunaga would win. So who can be rewarded with great benefits depends on how His Highness Oda balances the power in the family.
Logically speaking, the Zhichen group should get the lion's share. Naoomi was the foundation of Oda Nobunaga's rule in Owari. Taking advantage of the annexation of Kamiowari, strengthening the territory of Nobunaga's direct leadership and the Naochen regiment will help stabilize Nobunaga's rule.
However, as direct ministers, the Shiba family and the Maeda family were not even recruited, and they were not even given a chance to make meritorious deeds.
It can be seen to what extent Oda Nobunaga was afraid of Yoshigami Shiba.
After explaining all this in detail to the Takada sisters, Yangono's face became more and more ugly, while Yukino on the side remained indifferent.
Yang Na thought for a while and said to Riku.
"Lord Rikyu, if you say so, the Shiba family will be suppressed by His Highness Oda Nobunaga in the Three Thousand Stone Territory from now on, and will they have no chance to make meritorious deeds?"
"Unless Her Highness's territory expands to the point where she feels she can tolerate the Lord, the Shiba family will not have any chance to expand.
I received news that His Majesty Oda left His Majesty in Kyoto as an envoy to contact the shogunate. This is obviously idle.
From the perspective of people in the Kyoto shogunate, Owari was a rural place, and there was nothing else to communicate with except donating money to the shogunate. "
Riku was also sad. Not only the Shiba family, but the Maeda family was also implicated. Maeda Toshimasa was so anxious at home that she went home to ask but was scolded bloody.
Takada Yono looked at his sister, gritted his teeth and thought about it again and again before making up his mind to tell Riku.
"Lord Riku, I have an idea."
"you say."
"I want to go to Beijing."
"Um???"
Rijiu thought she was out of control and wanted to go to the capital for help, but seeing her calm face and clear eyes, he asked.
"what are you thinking."
Yang Nao said as he thought.
"Master Rijiu has already taken care of the family affairs, and there is no need for me to interfere.
The sugar sales in the surrounding areas cannot be increased. If the amount is increased, the kings of various countries will definitely target them.
Since His Highness Oda won't give us a chance to get ahead, the ashigaru at home is enough. The Ashigaru family members are also familiar with the making of sugar, and I no longer need to watch.
So, I want to go to Kyoto.
There have been wars in recent years, and the Lord is now famous again. His Highness Oda is difficult to deal with. Is the shogunate in Beijing easy to deal with? He might even go into battle to fight.
Since there is no use for me at home, I will go to Kyoto to see the trade routes. If possible, I would also like to go to Sakai Port.
Sakai Port is a gathering place for merchants from all over the world. Only when Bai Tang arrives there can he escape the prying eyes of martial arts families from various countries and be able to do some good business.
I don't ask for anything else, I just want to make more money and food for Lord Yiyin to use, so that you don't have to worry about some stuff in recent days. "
Riku sounded reasonable, but felt ridiculous.
"You are the Lord's acting officer who stayed in Shiba Territory. What will happen to the territory if you leave like this? You really believe in me. This is three thousand stones. I am not afraid that my surname will be Maeda in the future."
Yang Nai smiled slightly.
"I've finally seen it through. Master Yiyin doesn't care about this territory at all, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous and gave half of it to Yi Ji.
Since your Excellency is interested in all directions and looks down upon these three thousand stones, how can I, Takada Yono, care about it.
I have been Lord Yiyin's hawk dog all my life, and all I want is a few caresses from you in your spare time.
Take this territory if you want it, Rikyu-sama. Yoshigan-sama is determined to revive the Shiba family. If you only have this kind of courage, then you really can't live up to your discernment. "
Li Jia laughed loudly after hearing this.
Before, Yi Yin made an oath of seven hardships and eight hardships. Although everyone admired him, no one thought he could do it.
And now? Even His Highness Oda became wary. What a strange man from the samurai family, how could he not make Rikyu, the Girihime samurai's blood boil.
"Don't provoke me with your words. I, Riku Maeda, will protect the territory of the Shiba family. But I was chased away by His Highness Oda in disgust. I am a person who cannot stand up to the public. Who are you going to keep from the outside world? Is it..."
Riku looked at Takada Yukino, and Yono shook his head.
"Yukino wants to go to Kyoto with me."
Are you kidding me, I can barely hold this sister down in Owari. If he left her alone to find Lord Yoshiyin, God knows what this cold-blooded and cold-hearted Battousai could do.
Yukino was listening to the two of them talking silently, and then she spoke.
"I dont go."
Yang Nao looked at her in surprise.
"You don't want to go to Mr. Yiyin? Have you changed your gender?"
"I just beat the swordsmanship dojos in three counties, and there are still five counties I haven't beaten yet. As you said, I can go to Yoshigan-sama after I beat all the sword halls in Owari. You have to keep your word."
Yang Nao's face turned pale with anger. If he hadn't been able to defeat this cold-faced sister, he would have wanted to tear her face off and tear her to pieces.
Although he was introverted in the early years, he was not so cold and rigid. I don’t know why I became like this after practicing swordsmanship. I can’t think of anything and just accept death.
“Fight, fight, fight, you know how to fight!
I don’t know how many Wu family members have been beating around the bush these days to help people, begging for a way out.
Are you not going to let go of the entire Owari sword hall? Can the Shiba family survive in Owari? "
Most of the martial arts family likes swordsmanship, so naturally they have many friends who open sword halls. If you are not first in literature and second in martial arts, it is okay to compete.
But like Yukino, who fights one by one and sweeps through one county after another, is this a competition? Is this a slap in the face, or is it a face trampled on by countless feet?
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. By the time you finish beating the last chapter, you will secretly have a lot of hatred. I, Takata Yono, have already given in. I am willing to take you to Beijing, but you still use my previous words to try to flatter me.
"Stop talking nonsense and follow me to Beijing."
Yukino raised his head and glanced at his furious sister, thought for a moment, and nodded silently.
Yang Nai felt a little angry. Being angry at this piece of wood would only make her physically angry.
He turned around and continued talking to Riku.
"As for the acting official of the Shiba family territory, I would like to ask Lord Toshiie Maeda for help."
"Lee family?"
Lijiu was stunned. Toshiie was imprisoned in Atsuta Shrine for half a year by His Highness Oda. It is said that the confinement has been lifted now.
Although the Maeda family is not trusted by His Highness Oda, Maeda Toshiie is an exception. After all, he is a member of the Wild Children Group who grew up together and is the author of the Imperial Guard Mother Clothes, so he will definitely participate in the war this time.
"Toshiie, this...are you really determined to make Shiba the leader become the Maeda leader?"
Riku almost laughed angrily.
He has already brought many people from the Maeda family here. If the Toshi family agrees to be the acting official, he will definitely bring more people. Then aren’t the skills of the Shiba family all members of the Maeda family?
I'm sorry, my Maeda family is showing off to your Shiba family. You are very generous.
