Oda Nobunaga did not show any excitement. Instead, he looked at Song Xing with a solemn face and asked, "How can I repay you sir after helping me unify Owari?"
Song Xingshi returned to his seat. The mere act of sitting down made Oda Nobunaga raise his eyebrows, and he suddenly had the illusion of facing a tiger when he was young.
With a self-deprecating smile, Oda Nobunaga saw Song Xingxin flick his hand, and the copper coins in his hand fell on the table as if they were spiritual beings, automatically forming a column.
Song Xing said: "On the day of Owari's unification, I want to see ten thousand taels of gold in this palace."
In this era, materials were expensive and scarce, but gold, as a currency of circulation, was not in short supply in Japan.
Uesugi has Japan's No. 1 Kanayama Echigo Zudo Kanayama, Takeda has the two Kanayamas of Kai Kurokawa and Nakayama, Imagawa has Abe Umeshima Kanayama, and Hojo has Yinzu's Kanayama.
These gold mountains were nationalized by the lords and became the main source of finance.
In Song Xing's memory, after Oda Nobunaga died, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who inherited his last wish to unify Japan, used several tons of gold to build a gold teahouse in Juledi, Kyoto, specially used to entertain foreign guests to show his power. financial resources.
Although Owari's terrain is small, it is located in the center of Japan, with the sea at its back. Several ports are controlled by the Oda family, and trade with the Ming Dynasty of Korea can be said to make money every day. Oda Nobunaga has no shortage of money in his hands.
Ten thousand taels of gold, even in the eyes of those great princes, is still a huge fortune.
Song Xing opened his mouth and asked for ten thousand taels of gold, but Oda Nobunaga breathed a sigh of relief.
In his eyes, as long as they are human beings, they have weaknesses that can be exploited, and there is no harm in loving money. If Song Xing helped him without any desire, he would have doubts.
Oda Nobunaga said: "If you can help me unify Owari and Japan, I will give you ten thousand liang of gold."
Before Song Xing could speak, the young man behind Oda Nobunaga spoke first: "Ten thousand taels of gold, that's such a big statement. Do you know how powerful Oda Nobunaga's troops are, so you dare to speak so loudly?"
The sound is clear and crisp, like an oriole.
"Ichi, don't be rude." Oda Nobunaga turned around and scolded him. In his heart, Song Xing had proven his talent, so he would not let his sister be rude.
He bowed to Song Xing again and said, "My sister-in-law is rude, sir, please don't be offended."
Song Xing shook his head to show that he was not blaming me: "It doesn't matter. It's normal for my sister not to trust me when we first met. In this case, the killers who are following me outside should regard it as a vote of surrender for Lord Oda."
Oda Nobunaga was shocked when he heard this.
He took advantage of the night to come to Song Xing's place, originally to see with his own eyes whether Song Xing was as Uzaemon said, but he didn't expect to be followed by someone, and murderous intent suddenly filled his eyes.
Hearing that someone was following, Ashi behind Oda Nobunaga suddenly became nervous, and Lu Jian couldn't help but look at the dark rain curtain outside.
Song Xing walked to the door of the Suan Guan and waved the green bamboo in his hand. A strong wind emerged from the top of the green bamboo, picking up several drops of rainwater falling from the air and shooting them into the dark night sky.
The water droplets merged into the water curtain, and before several people in the pavilion could react, several muffled groans and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard dozens of meters away.
Four figures quickly flashed around the palace, guarding Oda Nobunaga vigilantly.
Oda Nobunaga pushed aside the guard blocking him and strode to Song Xing's side. He stared at the dark night with a gloomy face, unable to see anything except the rain.
"Go and see what's going on."
One of the four guards rushed into the rain curtain, and after a while he flashed back with a look of shock on his face. He ignored the rain dripping on his body and reported back to Oda Nobunaga:
"My Lord, he is a ninja from the Ranpo clan. There are twelve of them in total. All of them died with their foreheads pierced."
After the guard finished reporting, he did not forget to look at Song Xing with a horrified look.
Just now, the blind man used an incredible method to destroy the ninjas outside who came to assassinate him in an instant.
Lu Jian next to him had a confused look on his face, not knowing who the Luan Pozhong the guard was talking about, but Song Xing's eyes moved slightly.
During Japan's Warring States Period, in addition to being samurai on the surface, the daimyo's subordinates also had another profession that was active on the battlefield, playing the role of spying on intelligence and assassinating.
That's ninja.
There were twelve ninja groups in the Warring States Period in Japan, the most famous of which were Guan Po Zhong, Wai Wen Zhong, Shan Qian Zhong, Gen Lai Zhong, Za He Zhong, Ka He Zhong, Yin He Zhong, Xuan Yu Zhong, Luan Po Zhong, The Wind Demon Crowd, the Supo Crowd, and the Black Shanker Crowd.
Takeda Shingen hired the Ranpo clan, Uesugi Kenshin hired the Kenzaru clan, the daimyo Hojo clan in the Kanto region hired the Fuma clan, and the daimyo Imagawa clan in the Tokai region hired the Sopō clan and other ninjas to engage in assassination activities.
These ninja groups are usually not daimyo retainers, but independent groups. In most cases, they are wealthy families with independent territories under the protection of temples and shrines, or groups of refugees or criminals without a specific residence.
The only thing they have in common is that as long as you can afford the money, they can provide you with the assassinations and intelligence you need.
Oda Nobunaga has experienced several assassinations since he succeeded to the throne. Except for the change in his face at the beginning, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"The Lord of Owari was assassinated in Qingzhou City. It seems that there are people within the Oda family who don't want you to sit in the position of family governor."
Song Xing's careless words were like a sharp sword stabbing Oda Nobunaga, making him feel hot and embarrassed on his face.
He came to Song Xing on a whim today. It was originally a top-secret matter, but unexpectedly the killer followed him closely. This means that when he left the house, the news was leaked to these ninjas who were in chaos.
"If you have the ambition to dominate the world, don't be hesitant in doing things. You must know that the disaster brought to you when a disloyal person betrays you will often be a hundred times more terrifying than your enemies."
Song Xing looked at Oda Nobunaga, who had outstanding temperament in front of him, and warned him meaningfully.
Oda Nobunaga bowed solemnly: "I have learned my lesson. I came in a hurry today. I will visit you sir another day."
After saying that, he called his guards and hurriedly took Ah Shi away.
Before Ah Shi left, he frequently looked at the green bamboo in Song Xing's hand. Apparently, the inexperienced girl was amazed by Song Xing's advanced skills.
Seeing a few people leaving, Song Xing was sitting in the hall with an expressionless face. Lu Jian cautiously stepped forward and said, "Sir, the great prince you mentioned as being reliable is this Oda Nobunaga?"
Song Xing smiled: "But seeing that his country is weak, do you think he can't achieve anything?"
Lu Jian shook his head and said: "How can I understand the war? Since sir, you think he can become a great prince, maybe he really can."
Song Xing stretched out his hand and wiped it on the table, and the copper coins on the table disappeared in an instant, and then said: "Although Owari is small, Oda Nobunaga has the spirit of a dragon, and he has the ambition to swallow mountains and rivers with anger. Unfortunately, his fate is bad, and there are great ups and downs. , with the appearance of violent death.”
Lu Jian seemed to understand, but Song Xing added: "With his character, if he finds that I can't be used by him, he will definitely try his best to kill you and me."
Lu Jian was startled: "What should we do? How about we leave under the cover of night and then make plans."
Song Xing sneered and said: "Is the Japanese country worthy of letting me escape? Oda Nobunaga left in a hurry before, just because he was frightened by my force, but he didn't expect that if I really wanted to kill him, I would have to deliberately lure him. Is he here?"
Lu Jian was a little confused and asked: "Sir, you came to Japan from this place on purpose, and you seem to have found this person on purpose. What are you trying to do?"
Song Xing said leisurely: "The time has not come yet, so we can't say anything."
As he spoke, a catastrophic force emerged in the body, breaking through the Sanyuan Emperor Vein. After the Ziwei Vein and Taiwei Vein, the last Tianshi Vein was also opened in one go.
