Chapter 38 Chapter Thirty-Seven

Back in the bedroom, Oda Nobunaga sternly said, "Ah Nong, fan!" Nonghime responded, but handed over the fan deliberately and slowly. After sitting down, before Nobunaga could speak, she sang "Dun Sheng" "Fifty years of life..." Nobunaga gritted his teeth angrily, and closed the fan again: "Are you challenging me?" "Yes!" Nonghime replied simply, "Life is a war, as you said." "But husbands and wives are different!" Nobunaga kicked the tatami with his feet, "It's natural for husbands and wives to do whatever they want. Don't disappoint!"

"That being said, do you think the dance music spoils your interest?" Nobunaga gritted his teeth bitterly and said: "You are wrong, it should have been withdrawn, but you got it up instead." "You mean..." "Remove the extra things and come out dressed as a man; you are not a man or a woman in your current appearance. You are in a panic!" Nohime didn't smile, but deliberately put on a strange expression. "My father often said that about me, which made me embarrassed. How is father?" Nobunaga threw the fan out loudly, and sat down. "If it were you, what would you do? Today everyone is discussing how to rescue brother Xinguang."

"He fell into the enemy's hands?" Nobunaga gritted his teeth again. Nohime knows better than anyone that Anxiang City fell and Zen Master Xuezhai of Ueno Castle sent envoys to negotiate with his father, hoping to exchange Shinhiro for Takechiyo.But she is deliberately angry with Nobunaga, Nobunaga has always been defiant, sometimes innocent, sometimes deliberately difficult, sometimes treats people like enemies, and sometimes speaks sweetly.Nobhime thinks the fickle Nobunaga is very hateful. On the night of the wedding, Nobunaga's temperament was fully exposed. "Come here." He was not shy at all, but opened his arms maturely.

As soon as Nong Ji snuggled into his arms, he said, "You probably have your own preferences, so you can do whatever you want?" When he found out that Nohime was still a daughter who knew nothing about sex, he couldn't help laughing out loud. "Oh, I'm eighteen years old, and I don't know shit!" Even at this time, he refused to admit defeat, which made people love and hate him at the same time. "You don't even know that your brother Xin Guang was defeated and captured?" "Yes. Never heard of it." "That can't be done. You should have found out about this and reported it to your father. You are too careless."

"In that case, I will inform them. So why are you unhappy today?" Nohime asked. Nobunaga was not angry, and said: "Monk Xuezhai wants to exchange his elder brother for Takechiyo of Atsuta. If it were you, what would you do?" Nohime's face changed suddenly, but she immediately smiled again, Nobunaga's mind was spinning fast, if she said something stupid, not only would she be reprimanded by him immediately, but she would also have to endure his strong hatred.Nobunaga loathes ignorance, sadness, and indecision as much as he loathes caterpillars.What he often said is: 80 years old is not as good as 20 years vigorously.Even if he is dancing the "Guo Sheng" dance, he will only express impassioned arrogance, not emotion for the impermanence of the years.Noonghime knew this very well, so she deliberately turned away. "In my opinion, I'm afraid it all depends on size."

Nobunaga stared at Nohime, "Is this what you think? Hmph! I will disappoint the enemy." "how do I say this?" "If the other party thinks that we will agree to their conditions, I will never agree; if they think that we will not agree, we will readily agree." "Good countermeasure." "I have already told my father that Nobuhiro and Takechiyo are incomparable in stature. Nobuhiro has been persuaded by the enemy and has become a traitor. He doesn't know that he has fallen into the enemy's trap. Although Takechiyo is still a child, his body But he has a kind of bravery in the face of danger, and as a hostage, he insists that he is a general. If he is allowed to go back, it will be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Therefore, I want to persuade my father not to accept the suggestion of Monk Xuezhai. Alas, my father is very annoyed."

"He must have thought you unreasonable." "No. I did speak too much, even the teacher and Hayashi Sado scolded me." "You just came back disheartened? I'm relieved." "rest assured?" "Yes. Your opinion, I think is correct." "Pretend to be smart!" "Even if the hostages are not exchanged, Xinguang will not be killed. Because killing him will not help the matter-Imagawa will definitely let him live so that he can be used at the right time. The cards in their hands are the same as ours. cards, there is a big difference."

Nobunaga was a little surprised - this woman! Nobunaga did put forward similar opinions to his father Nobuhide in Gudu City.If the Imagawa family wanted to kill Nobuhiro, Owari would kill Takechiyo.Once Takechiyo died, everyone in Okazaki would disperse like birds and beasts.Once they disperse, the Imagawa family will lose their combat effectiveness.So I can be sure that Imagawa will not kill Nobuhiro.If it is not possible to negotiate on an equal footing, Owari will be at a disadvantage from the beginning and will be passive in everything.At this time, footsteps came from the corridor.Nohime hurriedly got up to help Nobunaga straighten his clothes, and then returned to his seat.

"Report to your lord." A man's voice came.Nohime hated men coming to the inner court very much.Nobunaga knew that she didn't like it, but he did it on purpose. "Inuchiyo? What's the matter?" Nong Ji said quickly: "You're welcome, come in." She did so on purpose. Nobunaga stared at Nonghime fiercely, "Don't let the servants in. Tell me quickly." Maeda Inuchiyo frowned outside the door.He obviously has a problem with Nobunaga and Nohime bickering. "Akoju Hisamatsu Sado's retainer Takeuchi Kyuroku said that there is an urgent matter—"

"Tell him I know, let him go back." But Inuchiyo did not leave.He understood Nobunaga's temper.He will first guess wildly, and then confirm whether his guess is correct.Inuchiyo was about to stand up, when Nobunaga said, "He came to persuade me not to give Matsudaira Takechiyo to Monk Xuesai. I understand, let him go back." Inuchiyo laughed. "What are you laughing at, Inuchiyo? What's so funny?" "Even Master Ji...even the young master..." He laughed, "Even the young master misunderstood him, so I laugh..." "Does he want us to give Takechiyo to that smelly monk?"

"He exchanged Takechiyo for Mr. Xinguang, and he came here for this." "What?" Nobunaga cried out, and Nohime stood up and opened the door. Inuchiyo had stopped laughing.With his hands down neatly, he looked directly at Nobunaga.Nobunaga whispered, "You also want to save my brother? Then you can speak out your opinion." Nouhime smiled.Nobunaga looks like an impatient child, but his mind is far from simple.There is a profound strategy hidden in him.This not only makes Nohime feel tricky, but also makes her feel at ease and proud. "No, Inuchiyo has absolutely no such intention." "Absolutely no such intention? So, let Imagawa kill my brother?" "No. I don't think so. Such a major matter can only be decided by you and the four elders. It is definitely not Inuchiyo and others..." "Asshole!" "yes." "Don't be so old-fashioned! I can't make a decision at this time, you come and help me!" "What a problem..." Inuchiyo looked at Nohime with a frown.He is not an idle person, he suddenly said to Nong Ji: "Young madam, the young master is hesitant at this time." Nohime hates Inuchiyo very much.Inu Chiyo's talent and character are very much in line with Nobunaga's wishes, and she often competes with her in front of Nobunaga.I will lose to him?Nohime was eager to win: "Inu Chiyo." "Young lady." "Since it's the young master's order, you should follow it without hesitation. If you can't make a decision, what face is there to be the young master's personal bodyguard?" Inuchiyo was a little embarrassed, but immediately regained his composure, "Young Madam, Inuchiyo knows how to abide by his duty." "Duty?" "Little people are not born with the courage to make decisions." "This is so strange. Are you saying that the young master misunderstood you? Or the young master's vision is too low?" "Don't dare!" Inuchiyo straightened his posture, facing Nohime.His cheeks were slightly flushed, and his lips were as bright as a woman's. "The villain is just a martial artist who serves the young master. He doesn't understand the arts. It has always been that literature comes first and then martial arts. If martial arts are placed above literature, then the family will be in chaos. Although it is the young master's order, if we reverse right and wrong, we will never Can't obey." Nouhime laughed.Her laughter wasn't dismissive, but it didn't mean to let it go.She disdains to argue with the young Inu Chiyo. "Then, good advice is hard to hear. Young Master—" She skillfully moved to Inuchiyo and sat down.Nobunaga watched with great interest, the anger just now was gone, he seemed to be watching a game. "I won't embarrass Inu Chiyo anymore. Inu Chiyo is worthy of your eyes, and your loyalty is commendable." "Hahaha!" Nobunaga laughed, "The winner has been decided. The winner has been decided." "Win or lose?" "I won a complete victory. You and Inuchiyo tried every means to please me. Even though you were mocking each other, you couldn't tell the difference. Haha. Good!" Nobunaga laughed like no one else, and then stopped suddenly, his eyes flashed like eagles shine. "Inu Chiyo." "exist." "Bring Sado Mamoru's retainers here. You and Anon will see how I respond." "Take orders." Inu Chiyo saluted and retreated. "Nonghime!" Nobunaga looked back at his newly married wife, "After today, there will be no more men in the inner court, but you should stop embarrassing them and meddling in my affairs. How about it? You must know that men do not Your father is not the only one." His tone was so severe that Nohime could only nod his head. Inuchiyo brought Takeuchi Kuroku over calmly.Jiu Liu knelt down on the floor of the next room.Nobunaga stared at him, and suddenly shouted: "Jiu Liu!" Jiu Liu raised his head in surprise.He didn't expect Nobunaga's tone to be so severe. "I heard that you are Sado Mamoru's right-hand man. Have you met Masahide Hirate?" There was no sound for six and a half hours. "Have you seen Zhengxiu?" "Yes. Ask him if he can directly meet the young master..." "There must not be half a lie!" "yes." "Do you think Zhengxiu will let you come to me just by asking about your purpose?" "The villain is reckless." "Zhengxiu agreed with your opinion. Let Zhengxiu handle this matter, it would be more effective to let me do it... That's why you came to me. Jiuliu!" "exist." "Have you met my father?" "This...Jiu Liu doesn't understand what Young Master means." "Don't lie. You have the word 'understanding' written on your forehead. You would not offer Takechiyo in exchange for Shinhiro in order to be loyal to the Hisamatsu family, and you would not use this to invite pets." Jiuliu trembled, looked at Nobunaga, slightly startled, speechless.The general should not be too trivial——Thinking of this, Nobunaga said again: "Go back and ask Mrs. Sado Mamoru if she still remembers the agreement with me?" "Excuse me... the agreement between you and our wife—" "You will understand when you ask her. Takechiyo cannot be given to Shunfu easily. I also often visit Atsuta. I regard him as my brother, give him a horse, and allow him to practice martial arts. Mrs. Sado Mamoru will ignore me Friendship, and send Takechiyo to Junfu? She can claim to send Takechiyo to Junfu, but don’t let me down." "Then..." Jiu Liu opened his eyes wide, "The exchange between Takechiyo and Mr. Shinhiro..." "I have no objection." Nobunaga sternly finished, and smiled slightly, "You may be embarrassed when I say this. You go tell Sado Mamoru and Masahide, and after your earnest persuasion, I finally agreed conditionally. " "Yes." Jiu Liu knelt down on the ground.Unbelievable fear welled up in my heart.Nobunaga is just a sixteen-year-old young man, but he is very scheming!As soon as he saw that his opinion was rejected, he took advantage of the situation to sell favors to Jiu Liu, and to show kindness to Yu Da... To be more precise, through Yu Da, he accurately threw a path-finding stone full of affection, In order to obtain information from Junfu... Even so, there must be a deeper scheming hidden behind his weird behavior.What is he thinking?The more Jiu Liu thinks like this, the more he feels an indescribable fear attacking his heart. "Understood, Jiu Liu?" "Yes Yes." "Oh? But you look confused. Let me say it again, you go back and tell Mrs. Sado Mamoru that maybe Takechiyo and I will join hands to talk about the past. Don't forget." "I understand." "Wipe your sweat. Back off." Jiu Liuyiyan took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his forehead.The faces of the famous names he was familiar with appeared one after another before his eyes.Takechiyo's father Hironata, his own father Mizuno Tadamasa, and his elder brother Nobumoto...Compared with them, the 16-year-old Nobunaga has a decisive spirit. None.If you have to make a comparison, Nobunaga and Kumai's Hataro are somewhat similar.In short, for Jiuliu who has realized the cruelty and sadness of life, lives in seclusion next to his younger sister Yuda, and prepares to talk about the rest of his life, Nobunaga is really unpredictable. After Jiuroku returned down respectfully and saluted, Nobunaga raised his chin to signal Inuchiyo to go down, then stared at the void with those cold eyes.Nohime looked at her husband calmly.Nobunaga said that her Mino's father is not the only man in the world.But just now, Jiuliu barely spoke a complete sentence, and Nobunaga sent him off brilliantly.Nohime thought that after Jiuliu left, Nobunaga would show off like a proud child.Instead, he fell into silent contemplation, a silence so breathless. She must conquer Nobunaga!Either let him be her beloved husband; or treat him as an enemy, humiliate him, and cut off his head at the right time... But so far, Nobunaga has not given her any chance.But one thing is indisputable, he is by no means the idiot that people say.However, if you fell in love with him and accepted him because of this, it would be a big mistake. Nobunaga didn't know what he thought of, and inadvertently turned his head to look at Nohime. "Nonghime, knee!" After he finished speaking, he lay down with his clothes on.Nohime rested Nobunaga's head on her lap. "Ears!" Nobunaga yelled again, "Itchy ears." Nohime looked at Nobunaga silently, he might be thinking about something, but he didn't stop.At first, Nohime frowned because of his indecent behavior of constantly picking his ears and nose, but then he gradually felt incredible.When facing Takeuchi Kyuroku just now, he was so arrogant and awe-inspiring, but now he does whatever he wants, just like a naughty child. "Nonghime—" "Ok." "Actually, my father didn't want to control Xinguang's life and death at first." "Who did he say that to?" "Zen Master Xuezhai. But when he found out that he could exchange it with bamboo chiyo, he immediately changed his mind." "A father-son relationship is deep and human." "Hmph! That's not quite true. He used to be a very tough, very impulsive man." "Do you still want to pick your ears?" "Yes... Father has been looking very old lately. He's dying." "Don't say unlucky things." "Can people live forever? But if something happens to my father, the Oda family will probably attack us." Nouhime was taken aback.She slightly guessed what Nobunaga was thinking just now. "Chaos is not outside, fear is inside." Nonghime had to nod in agreement.In the Oda family, Nobunaga's position is indeed not firm.Nobunaga's ancestor was just Oda Yamato who ruled half of Owari, one of the three obediences.It was only in Nobuhide's generation that he barely managed to lead the entire Oda family.In addition to Yamato Mori, there is also the head family Oda Hikogoro Shintomo in Qingzhou, they have always been dissatisfied with Nobuhide, and they are eyeing.At this time, once the father had an accident, the clan would definitely gather old officials to fight against Nobunaga.Nobunaga was worried about this. "Nonghime." Nobunaga suddenly pushed away Nouhime's hand and stood up, "Don't tell outsiders what I said today." "yes." "How can I let people see my heart. I just want to keep it secret..." He stared at Noonghime. Ah Nong leaned on Nobunaga's leg, and as soon as her face was pressed against Nobunaga's hard and powerful thigh, she suddenly felt hot all over. "It's not time to indulge..." Although this kind of psychology secretly controlled her, she finally collapsed powerlessly on Nobunaga's body.Nobunaga's hand touched Nonghime's smooth and round ears, and moved towards her lips and neck, saying, "Nonghime." "Ok." "Close your eyes and imagine what I look like." What is he going to do?This naughty boy... Nohime thought, but she obediently closed her eyes, trying to imagine Nobunaga's appearance. "See me?" "Ok." "Next, put me in the general's clothes." "what?" "Don't talk too much, put it on." "yes." "How is it, does it fit?" Nong Ji felt resentful, this was just a game after all.Although he hated him in his heart, Nobunaga in Nobhime's fantasy was very much like a dignified general, just like a real person. Nobunaga's hand slipped quietly from Nohime's shoulder, and then hugged her warmly.A sweet tenderness enveloped Nohime's body.She really hoped that this feeling of happiness would never disappear. "Would you like to serve me all your life?" "yes." "Nonghime, I'll fall in love with you too. Let's make up." "it is good." "If I betray you, you can tear me into pieces." Nouhime couldn't answer anymore.Nobunaga's fiery kisses covered Anon's lips like a storm. It was not yet dark.There was silence in the room, only the sound of wind blowing leaves was heard. But in the eyes of Nong Ji, they are just spring flowers competing for beauty.After a long time, Nobunaga suddenly pushed Nohime away.The shame that had disappeared for a long time reappeared, and Nohime hurriedly tidied up her messy clothes.She was in a mess, with love and hatred intertwined in her heart.
