Civilization Guardian Front

Seeing Nagamasa stunned in place, Chios smiled politely, keeping a trace of strangeness in his eyes, and asked gently:

"excuse me, you are?"

Only then did Changzheng come to his senses, and he bowed in a polite and thoughtful manner. Changzheng concealed the embarrassment of his previous gaffe with a confident expression, and revealed his true identity:

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Asai Nagamasa, the governor of the Asai family in Omi, North Kinki."

I thought I would see the other party's surprised reaction, but...

Chios frowned, and then responded with meticulous and elegant movements.

"It turned out that it was the hero who defeated Minami Omi's overlord Rokkaku family in Norada not long ago and led the Asai family to become independent. Your Highness Nagamasa, I am really disrespectful."

Praise Nagamasa's achievements, and at the same time remind the other party that he is not ignorant of the situation in Kinki.Afterwards, Chios put his left hand lightly on the handle of the sword, and introduced himself:

"I'm Oda's vassal, Chios Felino Langlonado, the lord of Sumori City, I don't know why His Highness Nagamasa is looking for you?"

Hearing this, Asai's retainers showed surprise one by one.

"It's actually a Southern barbarian?"

"Lord of a city..."

"It's still the same Musen City..."

Although the name sounds like a Southern barbarian, but the appearance and conversation make people feel no barriers, and there is no strange accent in the words, so the perception of Asai's retainers will not be too serious.

On this point, even the long government is the same. Not only does it not have a sense of cultural difference, but it is a bit gratifying.

The Oda vassal with a high status thought it would be difficult to find him.

Unexpectedly, she found it once...

"I would like to meet Mr. Oda Kami and talk about the alliance between the two companies. Would you like to help me with this?"

Facing Nagamasa's expectant eyes, Chios's expression did not change. He reached out to signal the nearby temporary wine shop, and said with a gentle smile:

"Why don't we go there and talk while drinking, so that we can meet more friends and not disturb the tourists here, what do you think?"

"I think so too."

Chapter 150? Sleeping Sake

He took Asai Nagamasa and others into a nearby restaurant, greeted the boss, and six of them sat down around a slightly larger table.

"The Asai family wants to form an alliance with the Oda family, and it is enough to send one envoy..." After calling everyone to sit down, Chios tapped his fingers on the table and said with a soft smile on his face:

"His Highness Nagamasa, who is the head of the Asai family, visited in person. Although it shows sincerity, it also makes people somewhat suspicious."

Of course, Chios knew that Nagamasa Asai's intention to come to Owari in person was actually to reach a marriage with Nobuna Oda through the excuse of an alliance, so as to achieve the result of annexing the Oda family.

From Chios' point of view, this strategy had little chance of success.

If the female house governor can use this simple method to get it done, the princess daimyo will not become an existence that can be widely accepted by the samurai family.

What's more, now Nobuna has fallen into his hands...

Talking nonsense is just to attract the attention of the head of the Asai family and delay for some time.

The opponent really hooked...

"What do you mean, bastard!"

"How dare you question my lord!"

People with a guilty conscience are always very sensitive. Except for Naotsu Endo, Asai's retainers jumped at the table, pointed at Chios, and roared indignantly.

"Why..." Chios folded his hands and propped his chin, and responded indifferently:

"As a vassal of Oda, shouldn't I pay attention to every detail and consider the purpose of everyone coming to Owari?"

"But..."

Asai's vassal still wanted to defend himself, but was interrupted by Nagamasa waving his hand.

"That's enough, Mr. Chios's concerns are not wrong!"

The lord has already spoken, and as a retainer, he can't say anything, so he can only sit down again.

"Sorry, Lord Chios, for making you laugh..."

"Excuse me!" Before Changzheng finished speaking, the waitress in the restaurant happened to come to the table with a large plate containing a wine jug.

"This is wine ordered by several guests."

Changzheng deliberately glanced at the other party...

It was a petite girl, her hair was covered by a cloth hat to prevent the strands from falling into the dish, her pupils were deep red like garnet, her face was so beautiful and lovely that one couldn't bear to blame her.

A total of six pots of wine and six wine glasses were placed in front of everyone.

"Then, His Highness Nagamasa..." Chios took the lead in filling his wine cup with sake, raised his glass, and said to Nagamasa:

"This is a toast to our chance meeting."

"Well, respect for my fate."

Nagamasa, who also filled his wine cup with wine, paid back, and the rest of Asai's retainers followed suit.

gollum...

A pear-like sweetness blooms on the tip of the tongue, diluting the slight fishy smell contained in the wine.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Changzheng's eyes brightened slightly.

"This wine is really good."

I thought that the drinks provided in the temporary wine shop would not be very good, at most barely drinkable, but I didn't expect the sake in this shop to be so delicious.

Not only did Nagamasa think so, but the other four Asai retainers couldn't help but nodded, and then filled the wine cup with sake.

"Indeed, the quality of the wine was beyond my expectation." The young man smiled, although he didn't feel that the wine in his jug had any "good taste" at all.

However, at this time, the inferior wine in his hand can make him feel more at ease.

"If you just want to see Her Highness the Princess, it's not difficult to arrange it as Her Highness Nagamasa..." Chios filled his wine cup with a glass of wine, drank it all by himself, and continued:

"However, Her Highness the Princess is currently full of anticipation. Later, the scroll boat full of lanterns will go to the scenery of the North Shore Imperial Palace. It will take about an hour and a half. Please wait patiently here."

Seeing the casual drinking posture of the young man in front of him, the head of the Asai family immediately relaxed and drank at their own pace.

"Of course, Mr. Chios..." Another bowl of wine poured into his throat, Nagamasa blushed, and assured Chios:

"We came here with good intentions and never wanted to disturb the fun."

"That's good..." Nodding his head slightly, Chios quickly drank the sake in the porcelain pot one after another.

"His Royal Highness Changzheng and several distinguished guests can also enjoy the beauty of the rolling boat here while drinking fine wine. After the ceremony is over, I will arrange it for you."

"Okay, please trouble Mr. Chios to run around for us, Nagamasa is very grateful."

Seeing that the other party had made proper arrangements, the owner of the Asai family felt relieved, and at the same time admired Chios' efficiency.

Being able to arrange everything in an orderly manner in a short period of time, and taking into account the emotions of all aspects, makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Unfortunately, he is a retainer of the Oda family...

(However, as long as the plan goes well, this person will be a servant of my Asai family from now on.)

Thinking of this, Changzheng clenched his hand under the table suddenly.

The sky is getting darker, and the sky is dyed red by the red glow of argentine.

In the Tennogawa River in Tsushima, paper lanterns were lit on five scroll boats, with long bamboo poles in the shape of umbrellas, and a lantern in the shape of a mountain was hung.

it's almost time...

"Then, I won't bother you anymore..." The black-haired young man wiped the corners of his lips gracefully, then got up.

"Today, I will host the wine for you guys. Please drink to your heart's content and spend this wonderful Heavenly King Festival."

"This..."

Before Changzheng could politely refuse, Chios opened his mouth to block the other party's words:

"His Royal Highness, you don't need to be polite. You are a guest from afar. Since fate brought us to meet, there is absolutely no reason to ask guests to pay."

After finishing speaking, the young man bowed elegantly, turned around and left in a cool manner.

"What an excellent samurai..."

Looking at the figure slowly walking out of the restaurant, Endo Naosuke sighed, suddenly felt a little numb in his tongue, and his vision gradually blurred.

"Are you drinking too fast? I actually feel a little sleepy."

"me too..."

"Huh~ um..."

The rest of Asai's retainers also nodded one after another, yawned again and again, blinked to resist tiredness, and even pinched their thighs with their hands.

However, the intense drowsiness has spread to the whole body, and the pain of pinching the flesh is almost negligible.

"How come...so sleepy...strange..."

Eyelids were as heavy as lead, and even his thoughts were blunted. Chang Zheng couldn't think of the reason for a while.

The next moment, the world in her eyes was completely plunged into darkness.

boom...

The five members of the Asai family's head and ministers fell on the desk one by one.

rustle...

The sound of light footsteps came, and the five people who were in a coma didn't notice anything.

The one who walked to the table was the petite restaurant waitress who served the drinks earlier.

"Mission accomplished..." The girl took off the cloth cap on her head, revealing her beautiful silver hair.

At the same time, the owner of the restaurant, who was settling accounts, and more than [-] guests who were drinking and chatting, all stopped their original activities, got up from their seats, and approached Asai's family.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

In the whole restaurant, from the boss down to the customers, Hachisuka Goemon and Chuanami are all in disguise.

Goemon's eyes scanned Nagamasa's whole body carefully, and he immediately judged the other party's true gender, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his garnet-like crimson eyes.

"Leave Asai Nagamasa to me, take the others to a secret place and keep them under strict supervision."

Chapter 150: Evening Festival and Tears

On the west bank of Tianwangchuan, there is a section of road where there are no tourists at all, only a few heavily armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.Luxurious tents are set up along the side of the river facing the river, so that noble people can watch the ceremony quietly and avoid being disturbed by others.

Among them, the location with the flattest terrain, the best view, and the widest area...

The white curtain embroidered with the papaya pattern of the Oda family looks like the tent built by the general general, and sits here like an emperor overlooking the common people.

It is the viewing seat that belongs to Owari King, Oda Umi Sosuke Nobuna.

Inside the white curtain...

The carpet bought from Nanban was laid on the floor, Xinnai and two elders sat together.

The girl was resting on a cushion at the back of her waist, resting her chin on one hand, watching the scroll boat gradually hang up the lantern, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

"The night festival is about to officially begin..." Nobuna casually grabbed a Teba-saki from the lacquered wooden box beside him, took a bite, and tore off a piece of crispy-roasted chicken wing, complaining unhappily on his face:

"That damned Chios hasn't come back yet!"

The ponytail girl on the right side of Owari Lord immediately nodded in agreement:

"Yeah, it's just something to eat, and it's too much for Chios to actually run away."

"Perhaps... Mr. Chios has taken a fancy to a lady from a family in Tsushima, and he is not thinking about leaving at the moment..." the old Niwa Chohide tapped his lips with a folding fan in his hand, with a mischievous smile on his face .

"I heard that Ikoma's daughter, Yoshino, who is in the horse lending business, is not only beautiful in appearance, delicate in figure, but also gentle in temperament. She can be said to be the most beautiful woman among the daughters of Owari merchants, with a score of 95."

"Who is that woman..." Nobuna's face darkened instantly, just listening to Changxiu's description, a strong hostility burst from her heart.

"One by one... not looking at other men, just staring at the villain Chios, it's crazy."

Forehead...
