Civilization Guardian Front

Ikeda Hengxing was a little dizzy all day long, as long as Chios looked at her, he would take the lead to look away.When the lunch was served, he was immersed in eating his own food, and almost all the conversations occurred between the Yangdeyuan and Chios.

Chios didn't really regard the Nursing Home as a mother, but the warm and tolerant feeling of the other party made it very easy to get along with, maybe it would be good to visit occasionally when you have time.

After lunch, Yangdeyuan personally ordered tea again. In such a comfortable atmosphere, Chios didn't leave Ikeda's house until three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Remember to come back when you have time, and enjoy tea with rice."

"Yes, after dealing with some personal matters, I will make time to visit." Chios affirmed.

"Qi, Chios, today...very happy." Heng Xing walked out from behind his mother, holding back his shyness.

"Me too, had a great day."

Chios nodded with a smile, saluted and said goodbye:

"It's getting late, so I won't bother you two anymore."

……

Saying goodbye to Hengxing and Yangtokuin, Chios went directly to Cheongju Castle Honmaru, and after a briefing, went to the castle tower to meet Nobuna.

"Chios, why are you here?"

Nobuna didn't expect Chios' visit at all, and the surprise and joy immediately overwhelmed the displeasure of correcting the official document, and the ending sound rose involuntarily.

But after being pleasantly surprised, the girl remembered how Chios went to the wine shop with the two elders last night, snorted, looked at the other side with a straight face and said:

"Inuchiyo, you go down first."

"…Yes, Your Royal Highness."

Inuchiyo, who realized that the lord was going to deal with private affairs, quickly bowed his head and retreated.Before leaving, he raised his face a little and glanced at Chios, his face was obviously expressionless, but Chios vaguely read the meaning of "good for oneself".

The sliding door closed, leaving only Nobuna and Chios in the room.

"Did you have fun yesterday?" Nobuna stared out the window and asked in a cold tone.

"Not very happy, I think you know the rest."

Not being held back by the girl's prologue, which seemed to be a crime, Chios sat down beside Nobuna and looked at the girl's profile.

"It was an accident. Manchiyo told me specifically this morning." Nobuna blushed a little at the sight, and finally turned her face back, looking at the handsome smiling face of the man in front of her, the awkward emotion in her heart suddenly disappeared. Faded.

"Don't be mad at her, Manchiyo did this for me."

"I know...so I'm not angry." Chios replied with a shrug.

"Liar, how can you not be angry?"

"I'm not angry, but there will always be sadness...Are you going to cut off my head because of this?" Chios smiled and played Nobuna's long brown hair.

"Come on... it's itchy."

"You look better with your hair down." Chios said, grabbing the tie that tied Nobuna's hair and pulling it, and let down the straight long hair.

"Okay... Are you happy?" Nobuna gave Chios a blank look.

"not bad. "

"Really, how did you become like a child."

Nobuna complained, but leaned on Chios' shoulder, letting the young man hold her shoulder.Their relationship is no longer just a vague good impression. The hug and dialogue two days ago made the relationship between the two warm up a lot.

Although he didn't make too much progress at one time, Shinna liked the warm feeling in this kind of intimacy.

"Speaking of rumors about me in the neighborhood..."

"have no idea! "

"You're too quick to deny it, too."

Chios laughed and said:

"It seems that the culprit is you."

"Ah, yes, I just want to hear some good things about my retainers, can't I?"

Nobuna no longer denied it, folded her arms around her chest, looked up and "glared" at Chios' eyes, as if she was about to quarrel.

"Of course, thank you, Your Highness, for promoting your reputation. What does Your Highness want in return?"

"Of course the vassals have to take the initiative to think about this kind of thing. If you want me, the lord, to say everything, what's the use of the vassals!"

Nobuna puffed up her face and said.

"Then I can decide on my own?" Chios reconfirmed.

"No, that's right, do whatever you want!" Nobuna watched Chios's face getting closer, and slowly closed her eyes, but her tone was still tyrannical.

"OK. "

As Chios said, he lowered his head and covered Nobuna's slightly parted cherry-colored lips.

"Well..."

The moist breath in the mouths of the two entangled, and the girl who was exposed to this matter for the first time nervously grabbed the collar of the young man's kimono.The soft lips were disturbed by breathing, and after a few light pecks, they were briefly separated, and when they were separated, they seemed to be glued together and pulled together, making Shinna's back tingle as if an electric current was passing through.

Half a minute later, Chios took the initiative to leave, Xinnai stared at the void with dazed eyes, panting lightly with the small mouth he forgot to close.

After a short while, the girl's eyes finally came back to life, she blinked, stroked her lips with one hand, and murmured:

"Is this...kissing?"

Seeing the appearance of Nobuna's unrequited love girl, Chios couldn't help but tease:

"Yes, does Her Royal Highness want more?"

"Hmm...huh! How is it possible, it's my first kiss after all, I'm just curious."

Nobuna blushed a little when she said it, and quickly changed the subject:

"By the way, Kanjuro, have you met him?"

Nobuna is talking about her younger brother Oda Nobukatsu.

"Well, a very bumbling kid."

"Ahaha~ It's true to hear you say that. He is just a child who was instilled by his mother to think "to become the governor of the Oda family".It's a pity that he can't compare with me no matter what he learns. "

"I can't see that he has this material... He is mediocre in talent and weak in heart, not to mention he just grew up following his mother's wishes, and he doesn't have the courage to create a new world at all."

Chios would not say good things for Xinsheng, recalling Xinsheng's performance in the five courtyards in the morning, he made an unceremonious evaluation.

"Are you flattering me? I didn't... reward you." Shinna blushed inexplicably before she finished speaking, and she didn't know what she associated with the word "reward".

"It's just what's in my heart. If he had been Owari's daimyo, the Jinchuan army would have entered Qingzhou City long ago; Viper would not agree that such a person can unify the troubled times. I'm pretty sure of that."

Chios' words strengthened Nobuna's confidence invisibly.

"Your brother and his vassals have made no secret of their contempt for you. There was a riot in the Wujia courtyard this morning, and the guard was cut off by me."

Hearing that his younger brother's bodyguard had been seriously injured by Chios, Nobuna just nodded slightly, showing no surprise.

"I heard that, although I don't hate him very much, Kanjuro has rebelled three times. Recently, he and his mother have some weird actions between the retainers and the people of the country. It seems that they may rebel again."

Nobuna spoke calmly, but Chios could hear that she was deliberately suppressing her emotions.How could the 16-year-old girl in her arms really calm down after the multiple betrayals of her biological mother and younger brother, as well as the intention of forgiving but being trampled on many times?

"Now the Owari country is facing the threat of the Imagawa family, and Imagawa Yoshimoto is likely to go to Luo, so her large-scale invasion of Owari is unavoidable. If the Oda family is still in a state of disunity and fragmentation, even I have no confidence that I can win against all-out power. The Jinchuan army who went to..."

Chios tightened his arms around Nobuna's slender shoulders, expressing his support for her, but the words he said were quite cruel:

"In my opinion, Lord Xinsheng's retainers probably see that Lord Xinsheng is weak-willed and easy to manipulate, so they will continue to encourage him to rebel. And your tolerance for Lord Xinsheng is also condoning these unruly people in disguise, anyway. You will not be severely punished, and the price of betrayal is very small, so why not do it?"

"Well...you are right. I have also made up my mind. If Xinsheng rebels again this time, I will definitely kill him! Then kill all those who incited my brother!"

Nobuna pinned Chios' wrist on his shoulder with his backhand, and asked a little uneasy:

"Even if I kill my own family, will you stay by my side?"

How fragile Shinna was at this time, Chios felt it from the trembling weak body of the other party.If she killed her younger brother and was hated by her mother, she would not have many close people left.

Chios gently stroked Nobuna's hair and replied:

"Unless, of course, I die."

Satisfied with this answer, Nobuna pressed his cheek against Chios' strong chest and asked:

"When are you going to Minami Wakuri?"

"Tomorrow, leave early in the morning."

"Is it okay?" Nobuna asked concerned.

"Originally, I was sure, not to mention that Master Shengjia and Master Changxiu would lend me troops." Chios returned a confident smile.

"You can also borrow soldiers from me...why do you borrow from those two people?" Nobuna muttered dissatisfied.

"I didn't think about borrowing soldiers at first, but the two elders offered to help. How can I refuse as a pawn?" Chios spread his hands.

"Hmph! Are you interested in Liuhe Manchiyo?" Nobuna squinted and asked.

"You think too much, didn't nothing happen yesterday?"

"Just because it didn't happen yesterday doesn't mean it won't happen tomorrow."

"Then please Your Royal Highness, please keep an eye on yourself."

"You don't need to say it!"

Chapter 32? Minami Wakaguri Kuroki House

At seven o'clock in the morning, Chios came to Jutan Town outside Cheongju City.

Niwa Chohide in a purple kimono and Shibata Katsuie in a blue and silver armor were already waiting here in a kiosk. Outside the kiosk stood forty men in different dresses.

Four merchants in loose kimonos; eight shabby ronin with disheveled hair and swords; seventeen servants dressed in coarse cloth shorts; six kabuki troupe members in colorful kimonos and white powder on their faces; The ashigaru of the array hat.

No, there was another person, Maeda Inu Chiyo, who was petite, wearing a tiger fur coat and a tiger head cap, and holding a six-foot vermilion short spear in his hand, was blocked by Singer because he was not tall enough.

"Master Chios, you are here." Changxiu got up from the stone chair and came to Chios, her charming face was a little tired.

"According to the request you sent yesterday, forty ashigaru disguised as merchants, ronin, servants, Kabuki. Goods such as oil, tea and "cloth" are also ready to be placed on the mule cart. "

Chios briefly inspected the goods, and found that the contents were exactly as Chang Xiu said, and the arrangements were properly arranged.

"Thank you, sorry for the trouble, Manchiyo." Chios sincerely thanked him, and the address seemed very friendly.

Changxiu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled and said:

"These people are loyal enough to me and Liu, and they have enough training. You shouldn't have to worry about any trouble they bring you...Of course, if there is any situation, you must tell me after this matter, and Liu and I will deal with it severely."

"It's better to have your guarantee than anything else, who are the four pretending to be merchants?"

Chios had no doubts about the loyalty and training of this group of ashigaru. However, the role of the merchant was responsible for most of the conversations and was also the key to the success of the strategy. He had to confirm this with Changxiu.

With Changxiu's intelligence, it is impossible not to understand Chios' concerns, and simply explain to him:

"The four of them are all sons of a merchant family. Their ability to perceive words and expressions and deal with people is not bad. They joined my Niwa family's command as samurai."

"Very good, it seems there is no problem." Hearing this, Chios nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Singer, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke as if he had endured for a long time:

"Really, Chios, why are you making such trouble? You're disguised and secret letter. The small Heimu family, if you lead troops to fight, it will be solved. I don't think they dare to resist."

Snapped!

Chios stretched out his fingers and flicked Singer's forehead.

"What if the Kuroki family encourages the townspeople of Minami Wakaguri to fight against me? Do I, the lord, still want to kill my own townspeople? You must know that all the soldiers who can be soldiers are young and strong. If they are dead or disabled, who should I let?" Farming?"

"Don't, don't ask so many questions at once!" Sheng Jia held his head in distress, completely forgetting that he was hit on the forehead.

"This... Let me think about it... If the townspeople object, I will call... No, I can't call... Uwaa, why is it so troublesome."

Seeing that Singer would have to think about these questions for a day, Chios turned to Inuchiyo and asked:

"Why are you here?"

"...Worried about Chios, I want to help." Inuchiyo was expressionless, but his eyes wandered.

"...After all, Chios looks capable, but he doesn't know how to take care of himself."

(Heh, it seems that Nobuna was not joking when she said that she wanted to keep an eye on me.)

"Oh, that's it..." Chios didn't poke, but turned his eyes to the disguised soldiers and said:
