Looking at his wife with furrowed brows, the mayor couldn't help but feel a little distressed and complained.

"Why did Oda Nobunaga ask me to go to Kyoto? She caused you to be complained by the retainers and put me in a difficult situation in the Asai family.

Why should such a person care about her?"

Asai Nagamasa shook his head helplessly and advised in a low voice.

"She is your biological sister after all. How can you call her by her first name? You must not be rude.

I have already said that Your Highness Oda wrote a letter saying that he misses you a little, and hopes that when I go to Luo, I can take you with me to relieve the pain of missing you."

Ichijun hummed.

"Didn't she just slap me in the face in Xiaogu City?

Miss you? If she really misses my brother, she won’t press on you step by step.

This time I go, I just want to tell her that I don’t have a sister like her, so that she won’t bother me again in the future!”

Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly, she knew that the city king was caring about her and comforting her. It was just that this proud husband's way of expression was quite unique.

Before going to Luo, Asai Nagamasa had already explained the situation. The mayor complained about Oda Nobunaga all the way to relieve Asai Nagamasa's depression.

In this battle of Kamiro, Asai Nagamasa made Oda Nobunaga a serious trap.

The first was the Minami Omi strategy. The Asai family did not hesitate to delay spring plowing, but they were blocked by Oda Nobunaga and did not gain much benefit.

Minami Omi's Rokkaku retainers had already been infiltrated by Oda Nobunaga. When the war officially started, most of them defected instantly and joined Oda Nobunaga's command.

Nagamasa Asai cooperated with Oda Nobunaga's out-of-season operations and forcibly mobilized farmers and soldiers, resulting in a shortage of manpower for spring plowing. This year's harvests in the northern Omi counties will inevitably be reduced.

He didn't get any meat, and he even ate the fat. Asai's retainers were very dissatisfied with Asai Nagamasa.

Asai Nagamasa went back to appease the retainers, but Oda Nobunaga launched an offensive without permission, taking all the credit for Shangluo, and made Asai Nagamasa a stranger inside and outside.

Not only was she questioned by the Asai retainers, but the mayor, Lord Oda, who was married to her, was also made to cry several times by the gossip, resenting her ruthless sister.

Now, the restoration of the Kyoto shogunate is imminent, and all meritorious ministers have received invitations from Shangluo, and Asai Nagamasa is no exception.

Oda Nobunaga privately asked Asai Nagamasa to take the city king to Luo with a letter from home. Although Asai Nagamasa didn't know what this sister-in-law wanted to do, he still vaguely felt that Oda Nobunaga's attitude was softening.

Asai Nagamasa thought about it again and again, and finally decided to take the mayor to Luo to explore Oda Nobunaga's intentions.

Previously in Otani Castle, Oda Nobunaga slapped the city king, and Asai Nagamasa defended the city king, even at the expense of losing Oda Nobunaga's face.

Ichikun was just a young man in a harem, and he didn't understand politics at all. He only thought that it was because of himself that Oda Nobunaga had a bad feeling for Asai Nagamasa, which caused his sister to trip up his wife.

In his heart, he was full of guilt for his wife. He couldn't help but secretly determined that when he saw Oda Nobunaga this time, even if he knelt down and begged her for forgiveness, he would never let her bully his own woman like this again.

Asai Nagamasa was very aware of the mayor's thoughts and just smiled.

How can military and national affairs be trivial?

Asai Nagamasa actually understood Oda Nobunaga's intentions very clearly. The matter had nothing to do with the city king, but her sister-in-law was too ambitious to allow the Asai family to compete with her for the Minami Omi.

Now that Minami-Omi has fallen into the hands of the Oda family, the Asai family has gained nothing. On the contrary, Asai Nagamasa is looking forward to seeing how Oda Nobunaga is going to face his ally and younger siblings.

Compared with Ichikun's external toughness but internal indifference, Asai Nagamasa actually knew his value to Oda Nobunaga very well.

If the Oda family is wiped out this time and no benefits are given to the Asai family, I, the governor of the Asai family, will have a hard time, which will not be a good thing for Oda Nobunaga.

The Oda family has just entered the near future and has not yet established a stable footing, so they still need help from their younger siblings.
