Chapter 58
"Your Highness has been awarded too much. I didn't expect that your father's bad name is also known by your father. This is really an honor for you." When Masayoro heard that he praised his father as soon as he met, he was humble, but he was actually proud of Mu Zao Chongzhong's heart. At the same time, he was secretly shocked that the other party knew his background. "Compared with Your Highness's continuous defeat of powerful enemies and expanding his territory several times, my father seemed much inferior."
Zhengliang smiled and did not answer positively. In fact, Mu Zao Chongzhong's words were to test whether Zhengliang had occupied several territories and even completely destroyed several territories. Zhengliang would definitely not respond positively. Want to know the real situation? Guess it yourself. If several territories really destroy within a day, then the Chongliang family would have to face up to the strength of the Luo family, and even weigh the consequences of the war between the two companies; if they just barely defeated several or even ones, then the Chongliang family would be a fisherman. But in the unclear situation, would the Chongliang family dare to take the risk to gamble?
Seeing that Zhengliang did not answer positively, Mu Zao Chongzhong gritted his teeth, and then bowed again and said, "Your Highness, please forgive the rudeness of the foreign ministers. Your Highness is so young that he has made such a contribution, which really makes the foreign ministers admire and fear the family. What makes the foreign minister even more ashamed is that my family doesn't even know the name of His Highness." The other party knew his background very clearly, but he didn't know the other party's situation at all. Mu Zao Chongzhong was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
"Haha, I can't say that my merits are worthy. I still eat porridge every day. As for the name of my family, it's really hard to say. I'm still a small local tyrant, the Luo family's Luo family's Masayoshi." It seems that Mu Zao Chongzhong failed to test it once, and changed to another more direct way. Masayoshi smiled at this and said modestly.
Listening to Masaru's half-true reply, Mu Zao Chongtaka had no choice for a moment. If possible, he would rather draw out the sword directly and force Masaru to submit. But he quietly looked at the samurai who was eyeing him around, and he wisely gave up his thoughts.
"By the way, Chongzhong, do you know anything about the tea ceremony?" Masayoshi decided to bring this young man who gave him a good impression, and at the same time he also intended to talk about the topic. Now the Luo family needs time to adjust. After two days of running and fighting, the warriors and Football Guards are already quite tired. Even if they can barely fight, how can they withstand the more than 300 Chongliang family soldiers who have been trained for about one and a half months and the Football Guards that have been trained for less than half a month, how can they withstand the more than 300 Chongliang family soldiers who have been replenishing their energy?
"Your Highness, when the foreign minister, Tomofu, went out to Jeecho, and was fortunate to attend the tea party of Takeno Shooo (the master of the famous tea man Chirikyu)." After hearing Masara's words, Kizao Shigetachi was stunned. He was unable to react for a moment by Masara's topic of the world. After awakening, he realized the rudeness just now and immediately bowed and replied.
"Okay, today I have the honor to listen to the tea ceremony of Lord Takeno Shooo," Masayoro praised, and then continued, "Shingoro, immediately send fragrant tea to Lord Chongzhong." The tea art of this era is quite complicated, such as the tea leaves must be finely ground, the tea sets must be wiped clean, and the flower arrangement must be chosen based on the season and the guests' fame, status, seniority, age and cultural education. The host's movements must be standardized and agile, with a dance-like sense of rhythm and elegance, and must be accurate and in place. All of these express respect for the guests, reflecting the spirit of "harmony and respect".
The topic is that Zhengliang lacks these things now, so Zhengliang has done everything in simplified. The tea set is only a small porcelain pot, and the tea bowl is even replaced by a small bamboo tube. He ordered Xiao to use "shui" (also a bamboo tube) to make sweet spring water from nearby springs, and then he began a slightly simplified tea making according to the order in the game. In this process, Mu Zao Chongzhong concentrated his mind and thought, and seemed to have entered a very high spiritual realm. At the same time, he was surprised by Zhengliang's novel tea ceremony in front of him, because this was too different from the tea party he had watched in Jie Town.
To be honest, if it were someone else, I would probably have left now. This is the authentic tea ceremony of this era. But fortunately, Masayoshi faced Mu Zao Chongzhong. In fact, Mu Zao Chongzhong had only observed the tea ceremony of the tea people of this era from afar, and had only a little understanding of the tea ceremony. The only ink was heard from Takeno Shaoou that day. So, a tea person who was half a dozen plus a guest who could be said to be the "Lai Bird" of the tea ceremony formed a unique "tea party". Of course, although
Masayoshi's tea art is not very good, but I know a lot, from the tea art of this era to the tea art from later generations. So in the subsequent conversation, in addition to the initial enthusiasm of the owner, Yukizuki Shigetsu briefly explained the tea ceremony, it became a stage for Masayoshi. In this regard, Mukizuki felt that Masayoshi was deliberately making fun of it, and later gradually became a little interested in Masayoshi's novel views, and finally evolved into admiration for Masayoshi.
"Your Highness's perception of the tea ceremony is something that foreign ministers have never heard of." Mu Zaozhong bowed to the sacred path with loyalty and conscientious conscience.
"Haha, Chongzhong, I didn't expect you to go to Jiecheng alone to experience training." Masara also praised his experience of training alone. In fact, after a short contact, Masarara admired this person very much.
"Your Highness, please forgive the rudeness of the foreign ministers." Mu Zao Chongzhongzheng corrected his body and bowed to salute and said, "This family sent foreign ministers to mediate the misunderstanding between Your Highness and the Xiaomu family." Unexpectedly, more than an hour had passed, and Mu Zao Chongzhongzheng had to bite the bullet and put forward the purpose of the business.
"Your Highness, Xiaomu Dataka of the Xiaomu family has arrived at our territory and asked for help from our family, hoping that our family will come forward to mediate the misunderstandings between the two families." Muzao Chongtaka continued.
After hearing the words of Mu Zao Chongzhong, Masaru let out a long sigh. It turned out that Oki Dataka, who had been worried that he had been wandering in the territory, had escaped from the territory. This could barely be considered good news. What Masaru didn't know was that in fact, Oki Dataka was not aware of the current situation of the Oki family, but his father was killed that day and the soldiers in his family were defeated. If the enemy took advantage of the victory, then the territory in his family could be said to be in danger. Therefore, Oki Dataka, who had fled from the battlefield, arranged a rush to go home and report the letter, and then took a few warriors to the road.
He rushed to the Chongliang family, who had been conspiring with me to occupy Fujihiro Castle, hoping that the other party could send troops to put pressure on them, so as to give the family time to re-mobilize the defeated troops. Of course, in order to avoid the Chongliang family taking the opportunity to annex the two defeated families, Oki Dazhong lied, saying that although the two families were defeated, they could still hold on to the Guancheng. Fortunately, Oki Dazhong acted quickly and fled to the Chongliang family territory before Masayoshi was busy capturing the two territories and strictly blocking the exit of the territory. Otherwise, they would become turtles in the jar and could only wander around in the wilderness to avoid being captured.
"Haha, the Xiaomu family sent troops to the Tamahara family for no reason. The family sent troops to repel the evil thieves of the Xiaomu family at the invitation of the Tamahara family. How could there be a misunderstanding?" Zhengliang smiled slightly and said without hesitation.
"This...", Muzao Shigetachi was refuted so much that he could not speak. Under the banner of mediating at the invitation of Xiaomu's family, the other party also had the righteousness of the invaded Tianyuan family. "I would also like to ask your Highness to allow Xiaomu Dazhong to return to Xiaomu's family city."
"Yes, you can tell them that our family will not block their return to their own territory," Masayora agreed readily, "But they are only allowed to pass through our territory. I don't want anyone who is not the Xiaomu family to pass through our territory. Please consider our position." At this point, Masayora indirectly admitted that he had occupied the Fujiwara family's territory. Of course, Masayora doesn't need to be said by Masayora. Smart people will know the fact that the territory has been changed when they look at the military flag at the checkpoint.
"Your Highness, this is likely to arouse my family's anger." Kimao Chongta couldn't help but smile bitterly. With your request, Oki Dazhong dares to come. Maybe it will be knocked off as soon as you enter your territory. Of course, Kimao Chongta, who already has a lot of affection for Masaru, did not anger Masaru, but in a sincere tone, indirectly reminding Masaru's Chongra's family that might send troops for this.
"Hahaha," Zhengliang laughed loudly after hearing this, and then pointed to the Luo family cloaks around him and said, "Zhongzhong, how do you see the soldiers of our family?"
Mu Zao Chongtaki looked at the samurai wearing a white eagle-patterned cloak, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but sweat. Because he suddenly realized that for more than an hour after he came in, the samurai around him actually maintained his original standing posture and had not changed at all. What a mighty power. After listening carefully, he found that after the military tent, there were bursts of training shouts, and the number seemed to be large. The other party seemed to have already made preparations, and even planned to send troops to the main family. Thinking of this, Mu Zao Chongtaki broke out in cold sweat and bowed to Masaruto and said, "Your Highness, the foreign minister finally understood why the Xiaomu family and the Fujiwara family were defeated so quickly."
"Haha, Chongzhong, that's mainly because he relies on the bravery of the Tianyuan family to fight the enemy. My family is just helping from the side," Zhengliang waved his hand and said with a little humility, and then smiled, "But please be sure to tell Chongliang Zhizong that I am looking forward to meeting with him." Zhengliang was intentionally arousing the anger of Chongliang Zhizong and then provoking disputes between the two families? No, from the words of the Detective Fan, Zhengliang felt that Chongliang Zhizong was a cunning and suspicious person. After receiving Zhengliang's reply, Chongliang Zhizong not only would not get angry, but would be shocked and suspicious. He temporarily held his troops and waited to figure out the truth before making a decision. This time was enough for Zhengliang to digest the newly occupied territory and breathed. Whoever was killed by the destiny, then he would have to fight to find out.
In this way, Kizuko Shigetachi ended his journey with some helplessness.
