Nong Jun glared at him and cursed with a smile.

"What are you talking about? There's nothing to say about it. That's your sister and your father."

The mayor twitched his eyebrows and said.

"Give me a guarantee whether you want to go or not. If you are willing, I will tell my sister about this and keep it successfully.

By the way, you also said that you can't find anyone to speak for you in Gifu City, but there is also your cousin and the daughter of the Saito family governor recently.

It’s better to go there than to stay here and be alone, right?”

Mr. Nong, who was already a little moved, was finally convinced.

The Saito family's rule in Mino Country has collapsed, and Nomon-kun is isolated and helpless, and she has suffered a lot. Akechi Mitsuhide and Saito Ryuuki are close to each other, which gives her a sense of dependence.

After all, we are a family. Although we have a lot of grievances and grievances, they are all in the past. We are better than outsiders, right?

Mr. Nong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said.

"Then I'll trouble you."

When the mayor saw his promise, he smiled and clapped his hands.

"Now I finally have a companion. With you and my brother in Omi, I won't be lonely anymore.

Leave it to me, sister, don't worry."

Nongjun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, suddenly looking forward to life after going to Omi Country.

———

In the inner courtyard, my brother-in-law and younger brother were talking to each other. In the main hall of the atrium of the pavilion, Oda Nobunaga was also busy receiving him.

Originally, Oda Nobunaga was talking to his sister Ikeda Tsuneki. News came from outside that Niwa Nagahide and Hashiba Hideyoshi asked to see him, so they simply held a small meeting together.

Niwa Nagahide has been helping Oda Nobunaga appease the Minami Omi samurai family, stabilize the local situation, and supervise the construction of Oda Nobunaga's new residence city, Azuchi Castle.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was the Oda family's spy in Kyoto, serving as the garrison of Kyoto, and was also sent to Sakai Port to find the Oda family's business representatives.

As for Ikeda Tsuneaki, Oda Nobunaga intended to put her in charge of strategic advancement in the direction of Settsu, and they happened to discuss it together.

Among the people sitting there, Hideyoshi Hashiba had the lowest status and was the first to come out and bow to report his work.

After she finished speaking, Oda Nobunaga clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Well done, Hideyoshi."

Seeing the delicate little Hime warrior in front of him lowering his head in a humble manner, Oda Nobunaga's smile grew stronger and stronger. He never expected that the little servant who covered his shoes back then would be so capable.

What Oda Nobunaga has said the most to Hashiba Hideyoshi over the years is, well done, well done, well done.

It was because of Hashiba Hideyoshi's exceptionally outstanding performance that he did everything Oda Nobunaga expected eighty percent to one hundred and twenty percent every time, and he was able to climb from a domestic servant to a status of thousands of stone.

Otherwise, even if he was as generous as Oda Nobunaga, he would not rashly use such a low-level warrior as his wife and give him opportunities again and again.

After listening to her statement, Oda Nobunaga collected his thoughts and asked.

"Tsuda Soki, is this person reliable?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba bowed.

"She had no choice.

The cruelty of merchant battles is no less brutal than on the battlefield. In Sakai Port, every merchant house that has made some achievements has its own background and backing.

Tsuda Muneki was able to compete with Sen no Rikyu and Imai Muneku without losing the upper hand, and to maintain the power of the tripartite, it was because of Masayasu Miyoshi who controlled the Sakai Port Office.

Now that Miyoshi and her three others have been defeated, and the Miyoshi family has withdrawn from Sakai Port, her situation is already very dangerous. If she cannot find a significant backer as soon as possible, the business she has worked hard on for many years will be destroyed.

In particular, she relies on the power of the Miyoshi family and has developed quite a feud with Imai Munehisa, and ordinary forces simply do not dare to take the risk of offending the Shiba family and easily accept her."

Oda Nobunaga smiled.

"So, I am already her best choice?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded.

"Hi! I think Tsuda Muneki will work hard for us. This is also the best way to protect herself."

Oda Nobunaga approved.

"Yes, what you said makes sense, but I have something to ask you.

You have obviously surrendered Tsuda Muneki, why are you still getting close to that Bizen Hime warrior and opening channels through her?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba said.

"The main hall doesn't know something. Although Tsuda Muneki's business is large, it does not involve the saltpeter and lead we need most.

Even though she has great energy, she still needs introducers and distributors to get involved in the saltpeter and lead trade in a short period of time.

That Bizen Hime Samurai Yukino Konishi, her adoptive mother is the largest medicinal herb merchant in Sakai Port, and she is very knowledgeable.

Her adoptive mother died not long ago, and she believed that she was harmed by Imai Munehisa. Being close to me also meant that she was using Tsuda Muneki and me to seek revenge on Imai Munehisa."

Oda Nobunaga smiled a little meaningfully.

"A very powerful medicine dealer can actually get a lot of saltpeter and lead. It's not easy."
