Chapter 3 Dewy

Sakuma University rode on his horse, and after walking out of the city gate, he dismounted once. The moonlight seemed to be brighter again, shining on the dewdrops on both sides of the road.And those dewdrops that are shining brightly are like gems on the ground. The university stopped and looked up at the night sky. The southeast wind is blowing slightly, making the clouds in the sky move slowly, as if it has the breath of early autumn. However, when clouds in the sky obscured the moon, the university suddenly turned its gaze back to the ground. The thousands of dewdrops that were so shining just now, once lost the moonlight, they will be equally gray on this earth.

The University let out a sigh of relief, waiting for the cloud to leave the moon. Then, the clouds broke through the moon, and the silvery dewdrops returned to the ground. "It's not the dew that shines, but the moon..." The university shook his head helplessly at the fact that he forgot the moon and was angry at the non-shiny dew. So, aren't the important officials of the Oda family going to obliterate the moon that really has brilliance? Regardless of whether he is Nobunaga or Nobuyuki, one person must be the center anyway, and everyone is united, just like those thousands of shining dewdrops.If the two of them really killed each other, wouldn't everyone lose their center?

It was at this time that the university made up its mind to tell Nobunaga about the family's movements and ask him to make a ruling. Nobunaga also said that you can't do things that make your mother, Mrs. Tsuchida sad. He didn't just say this casually. (Yes! If I don’t talk about it now, maybe it will turn into my younger brother being attacked by my elder brother!) The university hurried back and stood in front of the gate again. "Ah! Isn't this Mr. Sakuma? Did you forget something?" "Yes! I forgot one important thing. I want to see His Highness Nobunaga again."

"Please! Please go in directly." The university suddenly felt that it was too careless not to close the door until now!Thinking this way, when he tied up his horse and entered the main entrance, he found Mori Sanzaemon sitting there waiting. "Mr. University, you really forgot something!" "Huh? Why do you say that?" "His Highness said that he forgot something important in college and went back. He will definitely come back later. When he comes, he will bring it directly. His Highness is waiting for you in the room!" When I heard it in college, I felt chills down my spine. Fortunately, I am back!

It turns out that Nobunaga deliberately sent me out for this purpose!Kanjuro Nobuyuki is simply incomparable to his big belly!He thought, breaking out in a cold sweat again. When Sanzaemon led him back to the room again, Nobunaga laughed out loud. "Remember? University, come on! Come and have another drink!" "I'm sorry. When I saw the moon in the sky in college, I finally realized how humble I am." "Okay, okay. You forgot something important and said you were going back. The reason I sent you off was to see if you would remember... But it's okay!"

"I'm panicked, and I want to ask His Highness Nobunaga to grant me a request." "You want me to forgive Kanjuro Nobuyuki!" "exactly." "Kanjuro, not only did he not give me any advice, but he was also instigated by Quan Liu, Lin Brothers, Sasazang and others to try to fight me... right?" "Your vision, I really admire, admire!" "Ha... this kind of trivial matter... it's just the words written on your face, read by me and this scholar here. University! Just think that you can write on your face." "Yes Yes!"

Now the three beauties who were the problem are gone.The frivolous old man sat at the table as if Ami Issai had done his magic.In addition, there was Mori Sanzaemon who had just entered first, and the other servants had already left. "Let's hear it, University. I have a plan for Kanjuro's life. You can rest easy! When and where are they going to raise their troops?" When Nobunaga asked, Neami picked up the pen again in a serious manner, as if he wanted to write down everything the university said. The university once again felt that he was covered in cold sweat. "The time is around August 20th, it depends on the situation."

"Oh, around August 20th... isn't that the time to harvest rice?" "Yes, exactly." "In this way, it's not Kanjuro's idea, it should be Quan Roku's idea! However, Misaku Hayashi must have added something else, right?" "Yes... exactly." "Ha - Hearing this, you can almost imagine what the other party's trap is like. Why, they want to steal my good land from Sanxiang Shinoki... and then make me angry and leave the city. After I leave the city , and then the ambush troops attack and raid the city, so that I have no city to return to and attack me. Is that what they plan to do!"

This is the third time that I feel that my whole body is soaked in cold sweat. But Nobunaga smiled cheerfully. "University, I've been running around in this field with straw ropes instead of belts since I was a kid, do you know what it's for?" "Hmm! Could it be that you have... since then..." "Ha——I've known this for a long time. No! It's been a long time later than I thought. Kanjuro, if you let him walk in the field, he will definitely get lost, whether it's Sado, Misaku or Quan Liu, how can they compare with me who have measured the land with my feet! I know the width of the river and the depth of the field with my eyes closed. With a rope, I can cross any city wall .For a person like me, tell me to go out, and then want to take my city and life. This kind of attempt is really hard for you to think of, it's really funny! Good! University, you come forward!"

At this time, the university has been completely convinced, and there is nothing to answer. This was the first time he saw Nobunaga's true face. He himself believed that Nobunaga was an idiot.However, in fact, Nobunaga's thoughtfulness is beyond their reach, and now he also understands that Nobunaga has gone through a lot of training to work hard for his future. The much-maligned wild outings, muddy rolls in dry rivers, half-crazed long-distance rides were the things that made everyone frown and complain, but those are the things that made him more powerful than anyone in his family now. All the retainers know better about the situation in the territory!Every time I see him, I will definitely see the belt on his body. It turned out to be a preparation for emergency!

(This is not a simple character...) And for such a character, throwing incense on the memorial tablet at the funeral of the deceased Highness, it was he who replaced his funeral with anger... And the only one who understands this is the University among all the important officials in the family. (Fortunately! If I go back like that, the consequences will be unimaginable...) Thinking of this, the tongue trembled, and the university, who was breathing rapidly, moved forward. "Mr. Scholar, the map." Nobunaga nodded to Neami, and what's ridiculous is that this is the same map that he saw in Sumori City during the day, but now it is unfolded in front of the university. "University! Now that we know the location is Shinoki Misato, we can probably imagine their methods. They! They want to lure me to the other side of Yutai River, and then there will probably be four or five Hundreds of people come from this road to steal rice from the three townships, and there is no need for them to spoil the rice that has grown so hard, so how about it! Build a wall here two days before they send troops." Nobunaga turned back to Neami and called out, "Red pen." After taking it, I marked the map with the tip of a pen, and then looked up at the university. "This wall... who built it?" "It goes without saying, of course it's you!" "..." "Remember, this is the famous tomb after crossing the Tai River. Look carefully! It must be completed two days before they dispatch their troops. Once they start, they will have to work day and night. No matter what, they must build it. They startled and attacked the wall." "I'm afraid it's very difficult to build a wall in the mountains!" "I don't care about it. But don't Brother Lin and Quan Liu over there look down on you very much on weekdays? Just show them well!" The university was taken aback again. This sentence hit the nail on the head again, and it hit Brother Sakuma's heart. "So, Your Highness, will you go out immediately?" "No! I won't." Nobunaga replied with a smile: "I won't go out immediately, but once I go out, it will be a victory. However, you have to remember that before I go, no matter what the situation is, You must stick to the fence.” "Only a wall built in two days..." "Not only relying on the wall, but also relying on willpower! However, you can't take advantage of the victory to chase out. As long as you fight out, you will be killed. Therefore, you must work hard to defend the wall no matter what. Don't worry! I, Nobunaga, will be behind you." Your backer. Huh—” In his unrestrained laughter, the university also forgot its own existence. "I understand, I will definitely not disappoint you." He said confidently, patting his chest.
