I am practicing in the Nianghua Warring States Period

"Yes, my lord, please come in! Generals, please come in - food and a clinic have been prepared, please rest assured." Beidou Xinwei quickly climbed up the pole.

Oda Nobuhime is a person who likes to dwell on trivial matters, but she has a good attitude.

Oda Nobuhime returned to the palace in Furuno Castle covered in dust and dirt.

I didn't say much along the way, just looking up from time to time at the beautiful boy beside me. I wanted to say something but stopped, and then I wanted to say something again, organizing my thoughts and forgetting what I said.

After dismissing everyone, only two personal maids came to help her remove her armor. Sitting dejectedly in the old wooden room, Oda Nobuhime looked up at Beidou Nobumi, opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, and finally sighed and didn't dare to speak.

Theoretically, there were many bosses in the Warring States period. If all else failed, Beidou Xinwei could just start a new guild, and I'm sure many would follow him.

However, this was a true feudal society. Officials held similar ranks, and the shogun and his direct descendants ruled over the same amount of land. Huh? Why not unify Japan? Establish a centralized empire?

...I traveled through the feudal era to become a feudal lord to abuse my power, not to lead the Japanese people to a better future.

In summary, Oda Nobuhime should be the most talkative boss of the battle, no doubt about it. She is also very good to herself. Considering that it doesn't matter who she is fighting with, this female boss is quite capable herself, and she can still do it! Just do it!

"Don't be so dejected. Come on, smile for me. If you can't smile, I'll smile for you." Beidou Xinwei pinched Oda Xinji's face in the eyes of the two maids who were shocked but not shocked, and terrified but not terrified. "Come on, why do you have to do this?"

"...Go, go away." Oda Nobuhime was gently caressed by a pair of large hands for a long time. After enjoying it, she said disdainfully: "You are disrespectful to your majesty! - But I forgive you. This time... I have to ask you to help me take the responsibility. I'm really sorry. I... didn't expect it to be like this..."

"That's normal, and it's a good thing." Beidou Xinwei saw that the other party had recovered, and then said, "That's what I do. I make judgments. Qingzhou Castle will be in chaos for a while. Did you listen to me this time and not burn down the castle town?"

"I did as I was told. Aside from the areas near the city gates, I didn't touch anything else." Oda Nobuhime said firmly, "But Kiyosu Castle..."

"Dirty things happen everywhere, and Qingzhou City is certainly no exception. The people at all levels are not united, and when there is unrest, the chaos will naturally get bigger because of a war." Beidou Xinwei has a long-term view of things.

At least that's the case in the office, the capable take everything, and the weak can't even eat hot food.

"That makes sense... should we wait?"

"Just wait, no later than the beginning of next spring." Beidou Xinwei gave a sinister smile. "If all else fails, we'll let the locals know who's boss when we plant the seeds!"

Beidou Xinwei can see clearly, but it is dark under the lamp.

He didn't realize that some people were also eyeing him - on his side, there were also many people who envied, jealous and hated him.

Why do you always achieve military success? Why are you so successful at everything you do? Isn't it just because you're more capable, have more achievements, are more handsome, and have a better personality? Just because you're better than me in everything doesn't mean you should have more than me in everything! Although I can't beat you, I just won't give in!

Among these people were old retainers of Owari or young samurai.

One of them is named Pingshou.

Chapter 68: The Self-Satisfied Brain Licking Dog

The main contradiction in the true feudal era was the contradiction between the vassal's growing need for a better life and the unbalanced and insufficient rewards from the feudal lord.

To put it bluntly, the vassal "felt the seventh-rank county magistrate too low, yet yearned for the purple robe of imperial power." When the vassal reached the limit of his rank, he would react with the attitude of "a first-rank official, currently serving as prime minister, yet still yearning to seize the throne." Of course, Oda Nobuhime still had a long, long way to go before she could face this happy dilemma. Currently, the most dissatisfied vassal was Hirate Nagamasa.

Originally, the first elder in the family was Hirate Masahide, his father.

Beidou Xinwei, a 14-year-old brat, suddenly rose to prominence, and everyone was suddenly flocking to him! Even the lord favored him—how could he tolerate this? The son of the prime minister usually had a worse temper than the prime minister himself. And what's more, the monarch was a woman—who could she recruit as a husband? She couldn't reproduce asexually, could she?

Hirate Nagamasa, who is of about the same age, felt that he always had a chance until a year ago when Kitato Nobuyuki suddenly appeared. Oda Nobuhime, who was usually a playboy and a bad boy, fighting and cursing in the streets, suddenly stopped looking for him to play.

——In fact, this is purely a peacock spreading its feathers, self-conceited. When Oda Nobuhime looked for a lackey, she never cared about who the person was, she only cared about the lackey.

In addition, Beidou Xinwei should have changed his name to Beidou Ligong recently. He has been killing and robbing people on the battlefield and is the main person involved in all the recent fierce battles of the Oda family! This made Hirate Masahide very unhappy. Although he was unhappy, he had no choice. Now it's good -

"Dad! Something's happened to Hokuto Nobuyoshi!" Hirate Nagamasa, about 20 years old, had been subjected to various beatings from Oda Nobuhime since childhood. Feeling somewhat dignified, he ran to the residence of his father, Hirate Masahide. As he walked, he shouted what he believed to be great news: "He had the idea for this attack on Kiyosu Castle, and Master Ji is leading the troops..."

"Puff!" As a member of the strict intellectual and warrior class of ancient East Asia, Hirate Masahide immediately slapped his son in the face! His eyes widened as he scolded, "Did you call me Master Ji? Get down on your knees! Call me Lord! There's a difference between the ruler and his subjects. Do you want to die, you bastard?"

"Ha...Ha Yi...Father, why did you hit me?" Admitting his mistake first and then asking why, Hirate Nagamasa covered his face, waiting for his naturally wide-eyed look, and said to his father: "This time, the lord led the troops to attack Qingzhou Castle. It was that fellow Beidou Xinwei who came up with it. This time, it's a complete failure! It made the lord lose face - the lord has always been the most face-conscious! Just wait, she will definitely beat Beidou Xinwei in the palace!"

This is the self-consciousness of a dog licker. He thinks that the goddess treats everyone equally, but in fact... well...

"Huh?" Hirate Masahide was stunned for a moment. He thought, considering he had trained Oda Nobuhime to be that skilled, how could he not know? Could Oda Nobuhime defeat Hokuto Nobuyoshi? Even if she had three heads and six arms, she wouldn't be so sure.

But that's not the problem! "You mean, Princess Xinji is back?"

Why didn’t you tell me? —The old man suddenly felt that the world had changed.

"Yes, that fellow, Hokuto Nobuo, went to greet them personally." Hirate Nagamasa didn't know his father's feelings, so he continued, "As expected, young people just can't do it! Father! Your chance to prove once again that you are the most important minister of my Oda family has returned! I always said that kid was just lucky!"

"...Alas." Hirate Masahide was a man of character. Honestly, looking at his completely useless son, he felt quite emotional—there was no one to succeed him. He said helplessly, "If you had even a fraction of that Nobuyuki kid's abilities, I'd be so happy I'd wake up in my sleep. Remember, don't bother Nobuyuki in the future. As for him... I'll just give him the slippery slope and let him have his way."

"Remember, if anything happens to your father in the future, the only person you can rely on is the lord and Xinwei! That child is honest and loyal, and he is always very respectful to me and me, without any airs. He is knowledgeable and talented, but..."

"Dad! Why do you always praise others?" Hirate Nagamasa had heard this kind of thing countless times, and he didn't take it seriously at all. It was like listening to someone else's child, but there was also a lot of political entrustment and favors involved! Hirate Nagamasa didn't pay any attention to the knowledge in this, but just thought it was noisy: "Your position as the most important minister is almost no longer recognized! Can you tolerate this? I can't tolerate it, I..."

"Pa!" It seemed as if he had devoted all his patience to educating Oda Nobuhime, and when he met his own son, he slapped him twice. Hirate Masahide scolded his son, "Just listen to your father! You rebellious son, are you trying to piss me off to death? Listen, never speak of this again! Young people are bound to make mistakes, and this time the loss shouldn't be too big! Bring me a little gift, I'm going to go see Lord Beidou and the lord!"

"!!! I don't care anyway!" Hirate Nagamasa was often beaten, but his father would always be a mountain. Japan has many mountains, so earthquakes and landslides are common. With a pout, Hirate Nagamasa turned around and ran out, "I won't give in to that guy!"

"You!—Alas..." Hirate Masahide felt a sudden headache as he watched his son run away. Gently stroking his forehead, he suddenly noticed the crowd of people watching the show.

"Fanxiu?" Hirate Masahide looked at his second son. Although he was strict with his sons, he treated Oda Nobuhime with the same care a father would give his daughter. He waved his hand and said, "Pack up some cakes... These are Nobuhime's favorites. Let's go, I'll go see her."

"Yes, father." The second son was only fifteen or sixteen years old. He immediately lowered his head, prepared a small gift, and went to visit the palace with his father.

But on the other hand, Hirate Nagamasa's journey of mischief is not over yet.

He was the son of Hirate Masahide, the "son of the prime minister" of the Oda clan. The Oda clan was prosperous in commerce and trade, and although his father seemed to have less power, he still controlled the finances of the Oda clan. He still made many achievements in domestic affairs, even if Hirate Masahide had not been corrupt.

There will also be many merchants who come to curry favor with the eldest son, Hirate Nagamasa! The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Sometimes Hirate Masahide's words are more effective than the head of the Oda family!

Given Nagamasa's status, it would be fine for him to drive a BMW in the future, right? Besides, BMW isn't really a top-tier luxury car.

However, Hirate Nagamasa did have a fine horse. Japanese horses are about the same size as donkeys, but this one was different. It was much larger than an ordinary Mongolian pony and was considered a BMW in Japan!

——This was also the beginning of Hirate Nagamasa’s unhappiness.

Chapter 69 It’s time to settle accounts with all those who walk without keeping their eyes open

Because Beidou Xinwei had never redeemed a horse in the system store before, he remained without a horse. Of course, Beidou Xinwei couldn't ride a normal horse with such a large grid. Oda Xinji once asked Hirate Nagamasa for this horse and gave it to Beidou Xinwei.

At that time, Oda Nobuhime once asked Hokuto Nobuyoshi, "Shall I get you a horse?" - This is the story of that period.

Of course Hirate Nagamasa wouldn't agree! They were already political rivals and romantic rivals (a distant narcissism)! Now they were asking him to give up the good things to them! How despicable!

Fortunately, Beidou Xinwei later exchanged a mount from the system mall that was called a "divine horse" in Japan, so Oda Nobuhime did not ask for it again.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it, you bastard!" His poor Japanese language skills were evident, his vocabulary of curse words even less than Seqin's. He galloped for a long time before stopping at a small inn outside the city. Hirate Nagamasa roared in dissatisfaction!

"Sir, you are here--" The innkeeper certainly knew this guy and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Pa!" He was in such a bad mood today that he slapped the innkeeper. Hirate Nagamasa cursed, "Watch your horse! If you drop a hair, I'll chop you off! — Serve the wine and the food!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." The innkeeper covered his face, wanting to cry but unable to do so, he could only put on a cheerful face. However, to offend such a "lowly" little person was to die. If I don't clean the fish for you, I will take your life! But this was not the last step, so the innkeeper did not dare to say anything. "Sir, please take a seat and wait a moment."

Then, Hirate Nagamasa started drinking heavily—and drinking can easily lead to accidents. It wasn't that his life was in danger, but he was just saying anything! He was so drunk that Owari couldn't hold him anymore, and soon, Japan wouldn't be able to hold him either.

Normally there may be no problem.

But this time, it wasn't enough for him to brag while drinking, he also cursed while drinking.

The targets of the abuse include but are not limited to Beidou Xinwei.

and Oda Nobuhime.

Relationships include but are not limited to: adulterers.

Watching yourself fall out of love step by step, I can understand it.

But the problem is that this is not just a small crush gone wrong - there is also what Paradox players know: vicious political metaphors!!!

What a coincidence, hey!

Mr. Kazumasu Takigawa, who wishes to remain anonymous, gradually emerged and began to transform into the head of the intelligence department under the leadership of Beidou Xinwei.

I happened to be listening in! I listened for half an hour. The first five minutes were fine, but then I asked the boss to buy paper, ink, and borrow a pen. I started transcribing in the cubicle.

------------------

"Kou Nuo, Ba Ge Ya Road!!! Demon! Demon!"

In Japanese, this is considered an extremely serious vocabulary reserve. Oda Nobuhime was already in a bad mood. She heard Takigawa Kazumasu's small report, saw the small note Takigawa Kazumasu wrote, and listened to the trembling boss kneeling beside her to testify.

Oda Nobuhime took the long sword and found a cheap knife stand nearby to cut it in half.

"Is this guy crazy? How dare he say that to me! How dare he say that to Avi! - Is he looking for death? Fine, fine, you want to die, right? I'll grant his wish!!"

Oda Nobuhime was about to walk out with the knife in hand. Given her personality, she was really capable of doing such a thing. But when she raised her foot, she suddenly kicked something.

Look down.

The cakes Hirate Masahide gave her—she'd loved them since she was little. Of course, she'd grown to dislike them less over the years, but Hirate always thought she was still her childhood self, so he often gifted her with childhood treats. She rarely received gifts from elders; only her father and Hirate Masahide showed her the care and love of an elder.

"..." Oda Nobuhime looked at the food box she had accidentally kicked over, the pastries scattered all over the floor. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and the bloodshot in her eyes suddenly faded. Her heart was filled with anxiety, so she yelled three times.

"Forget it, these things... leave the transcripts, and you can leave. This is nothing." Oda Nobuhime gritted her teeth as she said the word "nothing." But in the end, she let out a long sigh to show that she was not angry at all! She would not argue with a fool.

"Then...I'll take my leave." Takigawa Kazumasu glanced at his boss who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. Did that mean he wanted to get rid of him?

"What's this small vendor's business?" Oda Nobuhime, who was always mentally sound, said, "You, go and compensate the boss for today's lost wages! Don't touch him, do you understand?"

"Yes!" Takigawa Kazumasu knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thinking to himself, "Do I dare to give it to him?" But he didn't dare say that to his boss.

After everyone left, Oda Nobuhime picked up the pastries that she didn't like, not minding the dirt, and took one and took a bite.

"It feels the same as when I was a child, except that I've grown up." Oda Nobuhime muttered.

----------------------

Beidou Xinwei was still training its troops, and the returning soldiers were well cared for. After all, this wasn't a true siege, so only a few were killed in action, while many others suffered minor injuries.

Just apply a little Yunnan Baiyao and it will be fine. On the same day, Platycodon performed an exorcism ceremony and a blessing ceremony, and the foot soldiers all said that their emotions were stable.

Kikyo has been very happy lately. The villagers' food problem has been perfectly solved. Some may go hungry this winter, but no one will starve to death. Even more delightful is the arrival of Kikyo's younger sister, Fengzi. She's a well-behaved, somewhat active little girl. Beidou Xinwei personally commissioned her to wear a well-fitting miko costume.

When children are growing, cloth equals money. This behavior is wasteful, and prices will rise again next year. But Beidou Xinwei loves everyone in the house, and Beidou has no interest in this little girl. However, love everyone in the house—usually around Kikyo, this girl is diligent and down-to-earth. She carries a first aid kit, assists with treatment, and holds a magical tool, a bow and arrow, and so on.

Basically equivalent to a servo skull.

In addition, Kikyo recruited a group of young shrine maidens—the kind who couldn't eat, only about seven or eight of them. They formed the battlefield Red Cross of this era, and their duties were essentially the same as Beidou Xinwei's casually suggested: cleaning wounds, boiling bandages, disinfecting with iodine (wholesale price 4.3, 500 ml), and serving Yunnan Baiyao.

Because this little witch team used advanced medicine during the Panic Barbarian Era, they were almost as good as the technological barbarians. Add to that the bonus of "God", and it's fast. That little thing about Kune City.

The news reached the Retian Temple.

The professionals came and looked here and there, and they said to Platycodon: You can't do it this way, come, listen to me.

Kikyo is a somewhat dull and cold girl.

But, Beidou Xinwei is not!

"You're the god of Atsuta Shrine? Where the hell are you? I'm at Atsuta Shrine! Come here, I'll take that hood off your head and slap you in the face!"

Chapter 70: Being loved, Kikyo is fearless

Ever since humans developed a social division of labor, they’ve had experts. And with experts, there have been nitpickers!

Atsuta Jingu Shrine is an expert in this field. As the oldest shrine in Japan with historical records from ancient times to the present, doesn’t it sound pretty cool?

According to the historical records compiled today, the Emperor is the son of Amaterasu. Doesn't he still celebrate the New Year like Wang Xiaoer, with each passing year getting worse? We are all in the sunset, so who is looking down on whom?

But Atsuta Shrine is different. It's a popular place. Not only is it the main site of worship for the Oda clan, but it's also close to Atsuta Port. Along with Tsushima Port, it was a cash cow for the Oda clan's Danjotada faction. Current maps of Japan don't show Atsuta Shrine by the sea, but that's the result of land reclamation. During the Warring States period, Atsuta Shrine was quite close to Imizu Bay.

Because of its prosperous shipping industry, Atsuta Port was home to many sailors. And since sailors are naturally superstitious, especially medieval sailors, they often came to pray for safety. Atsuta Shrine is considered to be quite effective, earning a 100% favorable rating from sailors.

Since it doesn't work, it's basically impossible to give a bad review.

Atsuta Port has Atsuta Shrine, and Tsushima Port actually has its own shrine, otherwise wouldn't the money be going to outsiders? The shrine at Tsushima Port is called... Gyuto Tenno Shrine.

Abbreviated as NTR Shrine - it is actually a fusion of Yakushi Buddha Tathagata + Susanoo.

It's all connected to the Medicine Buddha. Tsushima Shrine's main business is to eliminate illness and bless health. Theoretically, this shrine is the one most affected by Kikyo! But, they haven't sent anyone to investigate. This shows that there's a serious problem.

——It’s Atsuta Shrine’s turn.

That is pure charlatan.

Although it had nothing to do with him, the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine started to feel that the gods were related to him because of the constant praise from his subordinates. He thought that he had divine power and could bless people.

I suddenly heard there's an unknown shrine maiden in the Oda clan! Her medicine cures all diseases instantly, and she's incredibly divine! — How can this be tolerated? Isn't this stealing my job?

The head priest of Atsuta Shrine was furious and sent a priest to teach this "young miko" who had just changed her career and didn't have a certificate how to respect the elders! "Hurry and hand over your profits to me!"

The man was Chiaki Keidatsu, the nephew of the chief priest of Atsuta Shrine. He arrived at Kiyosu Castle dressed in the garb of a priest and accompanied by two attendants. Like anyone arriving in a foreign land, he first inquired about his relatives.

Asai Bizenokami was the royal physician of the Oda clan. He lost his job when Nobuyoshi Hokuto came. To be honest, his relationship with Nobuyoshi Hokuto was not very good.
