Chapter 55 the bell rings

"Get up quickly! Look! The weather is so good. Get up and dry the quilt!" The next morning, Nobunaga was the first to get up, and then took his bedding to the atrium to dry. The rain last night had stopped, today the sky is clear and the sun is very bright. "Your Highness! Don't do this kind of thing. This kind of thing is not what you should do. It will frighten this family." "What? Will it scare this family? It's nothing, Katsusaburo, anyway, I, Nobunaga, was born to shock the world! Hurry up! Everyone take out the quilts and dry them, as long as you think you are in the capital Just wet the bed."

"Really! There is really nothing I can do about His Highness. Look! All the women in this house are watching with their eyes wide open!" "Of course! The majestic prefect of Zhang Yiguo is actually holding his own quilt..." "Hey! Don't say it, don't say it! Anyway, it's useless for us to say this His Highness. I don't know what he is thinking? Hurry up, everyone!" To dry the bedding, it is not necessary to stretch out the net and take the poles to support it, because there are many thin bamboos and autumn grasses growing in the middle of the courtyard, as long as they are placed there, it will be safe.

No, not just the atrium, from here to the main house, no matter where it is, it is quite deserted.There should have been fifty or sixty retainers and servants in this mansion, but now there are only five or six people living here. Facing the autumn wind, two women appeared in the ancient imperial palace, which also made people feel quite conspicuous. "Okay, left again, you go there and tell them that we are all up, ask them to prepare meals for us! And say that Nobunaga wants to change today's itinerary." "What! You want to change the itinerary?" "That's right! I originally agreed to go to the Kiyomizu Temple on the Sanjo Bridge. I think it's better to go another day."

"So where do you want to go first?" "I want to go to the Muromachi Imperial Palace first. I want to go to the Imperial Palace to understand the general's character and see if it is a general worth rebuilding." "But you said yesterday that you will go to the Muromachi Imperial Palace tomorrow! Yamashina-sama also received the order, didn't he say so?" Mazaemon Toshiie is a very careful person, he said so.Nobunaga laughed. "You! Even you don't understand my Nobunaga's strategy. I said I'm going tomorrow to keep those stupid Mino guys who are following us away from us. In this way, they can feel at ease today I went to Kiyomizu Temple to pay homage. Well, hurry up and hurry up for breakfast!"

Maeda Mataemon Toshiie said, "Oh! That's how it is. Your castle is so deep!" He sighed again, came to the kitchen of the main house with a little shame, and urged them to go early with a blushing face.For this family, they had no idea that the prefect of a country was considered a distinguished guest, but the other party personally urged him to go early. It's just plain weird behavior, but it's more than that. Their breakfast was about the same as yesterday's dinner. "Okay, today everyone will take out the big sword and the clang cart we used last time, and we will go out like this."

Nobunaga said so. "Since we have come to the capital, we must make the citizens here happy, and consider it a gift from us!" "Your Highness! Are you going to go to the Muromachi Imperial Palace with that rolled-up cart and that weird costume?" Regarding this matter, Hachiya Hyogo asked with embarrassment. "Why not? Fenggu! It's strange that you ask this!" "But is it necessary for us to walk on the street in strange clothes today? Besides, the assassins of Mino might be waiting for us at Kiyomizu Temple last time! This is what His Highness just said!"

"I'm not talking about outlandish clothes! Fenggu!" "yes." "You go to the Muromachi Imperial Palace and wait for me!" "Okay, obey!" "Do you know who lives in the Muromachi Imperial Palace?" "The thirteenth general of Ashikaga, Mr. Yoshiki, lived there." "Okay, stop talking. I, Nobunaga, is not Yoshiki's vassal. I asked you to go to test what kind of person he is. Although I promised to go tomorrow, I will go today... because I want to see if he is a great man. In times of war, there is a big difference between today and tomorrow. In any case, you have to see it yourself to know."

"Yes, according to the order!" "Then hurry up, the sooner the better, see if he has woken up or is he still asleep? For the sake of Japan, I, Nobunaga, must go and see him in person." Having said that, no one dared to mention the Dangche anymore. However, when Nobunaga rehearsed this strange behavior when he left Qingzhou City, the people in the city would look at him strangely and burst out laughing. Is it necessary to walk like this in the streets of the capital?Thinking of this, everyone fell silent. "Okay, everyone, hurry up and get ready, bring the car to the entrance, and we'll start from there. Hey! Goroba, the red and white cloth of your scabbard is not properly rolled up, please re-roll it!"

Kanemori Goro nodded eight times and said, "Yes." "Left again, your broadsword is half a point forward. It should be held straight." "Oh yes!" "Yeah! This is how the puppeteer looks like when using gold dolls. Well, it's very similar! Very similar!" This is of course very special, gathering four big men, like Xing Ruowu's stage posture, they are wearing dazzling jackets, red cloth tied to the sword, pushing a bell cart, and there is a toy with a bell attached to the bell cart... "Let's go!" Zuo yelled again, and the family hurried to the entrance, uttering "ah" in unison.

I once heard that this person is a very weird person, and I really saw it today. I never thought that he would go out in this way... "Let's lead the car!" Nobunaga gave the order, and while everyone watched them off speechlessly, the small bell on the car rang, and they walked out proudly.
