Sanada Nobushige couldn't help but laugh out loud. The aches and pains all over his body were no longer so painful. It was really a relief.
Umino showed no expression, stepped forward and kicked Nezu Sadamori off his knees. Nezu Sadamori was not annoyed, he sat up and winked and said.
"Liu Niang, don't worry, everyone has a share of the reward, and the Lord will never forget your share."
A few people were actually in a good mood. They had won a great victory this time, and with their merits in hand, Azuma County had completely fallen into the hands of Sanada Nobushige and his family.
These warrior girls under Sanada Nobunaga's command are following the chickens and dogs to heaven. They have a bright future. Can they be in a bad mood?
Just as the three of them were fighting, a weak request came from behind.
"What about us? Do we consider it a waste of merit?"
Sanada Nobushige looked at the two people behind Nezu Sadamori. The one who spoke was Yuri Kamanosuke, and beside him stood the silent Miyoshi Izo. The two of them looked at Sanada Nobushige together.
Nezu Sadamori thought of the friendship between the three of them who formed a formation on the battlefield and risked their lives for each other, and he also helped them out.
"My lord, these two men performed really well on the battlefield.
Miyoshi Isan's first-hand treasure-style spear technique is very powerful, and Yuri Kamanosuke also tried his best to save me several times."
Her praise made Sanada Nobushige look at the two of them a few more times. These Hime warriors from the Shino clan were very wild, and it was really good to be able to praise the leader of them, Nezu Sadamori.
Sanada Nobushige remembered that his territory was much larger. If he only relied on the Shino clan and the surrendered ministers of Higashi Azuma, life would not be peaceful. It would be better to support some foreign samurai families to check and balance them.
Thinking of this, she became interested in talents and said to the two of them.
"You two! Let's stop with the spies thing. The merits and demerits are offset by the merits. However, your bravery in fighting only offsets the faults and makes me do things unfairly.
How about this, how about I give you another reward?"
When Umino Ri saw Sanada Nobushige's attitude, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand something.
Seeing that the two of them were still in a daze, Nezu Sadamori said quickly.
"Why are you stunned? Come and pay homage to the Lord quickly. This is a great thing! It is much better to earn a future with the Lord than to hang around in the mountains."
Yuri Kamanosuke tilted his eyes at Nezu Sadamori, who was flirting with him, and curled his lips and said.
“How come you martial artists don’t count on what you say?
We agreed that after the war, we would be innocent. Now they won't let me go, and they are trying to trick me into joining the gang. It is obvious that they want me to fight, so they will give me a share of money and food, and let me continue to work hard.
This kind of battle that piles up people to death means that I am lucky enough to survive. If I do it a few more times, I will die sooner or later. For your little money and food, I am grateful and come to die? Am I sick?
What's wrong with being a bandit? I have arms and legs so I can't starve to death, and I'm still free. If I become a dog for your Wu family, I won't know how I died until I die."
As soon as Yuri Kamanosuke talked bad things about the samurai family, he couldn't stop. He hummed and hahaed for a long time, which made Sanada Nobushige impatient.
She opened her palm, showing five fingers, and shouted.
"Shut up! Fifty stones to know what to do, do it if you like, or get out if you don't!"
Yuri Kamanosuke's legs went weak, and he knelt down with a plop, kowtowing to Sanada Nobushige.
"Greetings to the Lord!"
She was overjoyed, it turned out that it was compiled for her!
If Sanada Nobunoshi just gave her some money and food, Yuri Kamanosuke would ignore her. The samurai family never regarded the lower-class civilians as human beings. To work for them was to seek the skin of a tiger, and sooner or later they would be knocked to the bone and sucked out the marrow.
But it was different when Sanada Nobushige gave it to Tomoyuki. Only the Hime Samurai could get the certificate of peace and reward Tomoyuki's land.
This means that Yuri Kamanosuke was dragged into the samurai group by Sanada Nobushige and became the ruling class, and they could happily exploit the people together.
If Sanada Nobushige was rewarded by Shiba Yoshiyin to Agatsuma County after the war, then she would be a small daimyo who owned more than 10,000 koku of land, and could theoretically be called His Highness.
She was also one of the Imperial Guardsmen of the Kanto Palace, so she was definitely qualified to join the United War, and she also had a political status. With Rikanosuke following her, she became a retainer of the daimyo recognized by the shogunate.
If he hadn't been in troubled times and had the opportunity to stand out, this mountain bandit with the help of Ri Kamano would never be able to get the name of Samurai Ji in his lifetime, let alone have the high-level status of Andu Chixing.
Now that the opportunity was right in front of her, it would be a fool not to kneel down. She bowed her head without hesitation, fearing that Sanada Nobunaga would regret it.
Sanada Nobunaga smiled but said nothing.
The biggest reason why power is so fascinating and difficult to extricate yourself from is that it can change your destiny, whether it is your own or someone else's.
She looked at Miyoshi Isan, saw her face was gloomy, and asked.
"What? You think fifty dan is too little?"
Miyoshi Isan bowed and said.
"Thank you for your love, but it is not my ambition to serve in public service."
Sanada Nobushige asked curiously.
"Then what is your ambition?"
Mihao Yisan said melancholy.
"I found a paradise for my clan sister, and the two of them retired to the mountains and forests to end their remaining lives."
Sanada Nobushige laughed loudly and said to Umino Riichi.
"Liu Niang, look, there are people with stupider ambitions than me in this world."
Liu Niang looked at her coldly, really unwilling to admit that this fool playing tricks was her master.
Miyoshi Izo lowered her head and said nothing, Sanada Nobunshige pointed at her and mocked.
"Where is the peach blossom garden in troubled times? Can you point me to a place? I am also curious to have a look.
The world is in chaos, the Wu family is fighting endlessly, the common people are being exploited, and food is more expensive than gold. Peach Blossom Land? Where is such a good place? Tell me and I will lead my troops to grab some.
In this world, no one has to live without food and clothing. Peach Blossom Land? Stop dreaming and follow me to earn a living. I won't treat you badly."
Miyoshi Isan has an extraordinary bearing, and Sanada Nobushige is determined to recruit her as his subordinate, so he has the patience to talk nonsense with her.
But no matter how much she wasted her words, Miyoshi Izo just lowered her head and said nothing, which made Yuri Kamanosuke beside him get angry and cursed.
"You idiot nun, you are obsessed with coming to Shinano Mountain to find some kind of paradise, and you almost got me killed!
Now you have also seen that there is no paradise in the Shinano Mountains. There are only these unreasonable mountain warriors. Why don't you wake up!"
The corner of Sanada Nobushige's mouth twitched. She was not sure whether Yuri Kamanosuke was helping her or taking the opportunity to scold her for being shameless.
Miyoshi Isan sighed, still unmoved.
She is a direct descendant of the Settsu Miyoshi family, and her vision and status are not low. If she is willing to bow her head, Miyoshi Yoshitsugu is willing to accept her back to the Miyoshi family in order to better unite the Settsu people.
How could Sanada Nobushige's fifty stone be taken seriously by her? She was just a little confused. The fantasy of Peach Blossom Land was shattered. She didn't know how to take her future path.
The awkward silence lasted for a while, and just when Sanada Nobuhige's patience was exhausted and he was about to drive people away, Sarutobi Sasuke came to pass the message.
"My lord! The imperial office is here!"
Sanada Nobushige's spirit perked up, and he instantly forgot about Miyoshi Isan, and struggled to get up. She forced herself to exert all her strength, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat from the pain, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
