Swallow Back

For example, Liu Yun didn't quite understand it.

He listened to Oda Nobunaga's words, showing a little disdain on his face, but he was not in a hurry to refute, but said along the lines: "Now I finally understand. Your Highness, Prime Minister, you have spent so much time to find I, it turned out that it was for the purpose of 'the world is peaceful and the people are happy'."

Oda Nobunaga heard the faint hostility in Liuyun's words, frowned, and reluctantly apologized patiently and said: "It is true that I offended Liuyun Temple. But there is a reason for the incident, please forgive me."

These words were obviously not from the heart.

Liu Yun shook his head and pointed out this point bluntly: "However, I'm afraid you don't really think it's 'offended'! You just think that the marriage arrangement is a great favor, and you are angry at my 'ignorance'. The reason why we talk so politely today is not because of reflection, but because of weighing the pros and cons and safety."

These words are quite embarrassing.

After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga's eyes suddenly went up, his face was cloudy and cloudy, as if he was on the verge of losing control of his anger, he tried to adjust his breathing to suppress his emotions, and forced a smile, Said: "A wise man behaves in the world, don't he only look at his words and deeds and not his thoughts? The accusation you just made, let alone unfounded-even if it is based, so what? Even if you have evil thoughts, as long as you If you don’t put it into words and deeds, you can’t blame it.”

"That's right. However—" Liu Yun shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Oda, the way you are used to doing things is to achieve your goals and sacrifice any innocent people... Of course, this is not a big deal in the troubled times of the Warring States Period Evil deeds. But it does not match the goal of 'the world is peaceful and the people are happy'."

Oda Nobunaga asked with a sneer: "Does Liuyundian think that without sacrificing anyone, you can create a world of 'the world is peaceful and the people are happy'? I didn't think you were so naive before. "

"Sacrifice is unavoidable." Liu Yun explained seriously, even though he was very clear that the other party would not listen carefully: "But just because it is unavoidable, you can't feel at ease. Today you can sacrifice someone for your purpose without hesitation, Will you not hesitate to sacrifice innocent people in a village, a county, a state, or even half of the world in that day? In this way, the reason you just said of "the world is peaceful and the people are happy" is really nonsensical. "

As soon as these words came out, Oda Nobunaga was silent for a moment, sighed, the expression of anger and impatience on his face gradually disappeared, and turned into a look of disappointment on his face, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that what I said just now was in vain. Yes, even a monkey who is absolutely obedient to me and regards Nobunaga as the supreme god, can't believe in this ambition. Let alone other people..."

"No, I actually believe it." Liu Yun interrupted: "I just feel that you have lost your heart now. From pursuing 'the world is peaceful and the people are happy' to pursuing the realization of 'the world is peaceful and the people are prosperous' Le' the power of this goal. Can you understand the subtle difference between the two?"

When Oda Nobunaga heard this, he was disdainful at first, then gradually frowned and fell into thinking, suddenly realized in shock, his face changed rapidly, it took a long time to settle down, lowered his head expressionlessly, and returned to the original state .

Then he said in an extremely flat tone: "The words of Liuyun Palace are really thought-provoking. It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, and the arrow has to be fired. If I knock you down today, if there is a chance to adjust, I will definitely try my best in the future Reflect."

After finishing speaking, Oda Nobunaga seemed not ready to chat any more.

Although his hands were empty and he was wearing a hunting suit that was inconvenient to move, but he only took one step forward, and he seemed to be ready to fight.

So it's useless to say so many empty words, do we still need to fight to solve the problem?

Liu Yun was a little disappointed, but also felt that it was expected.

So he pressed the handle of the knife and planned to take the move.

At the same time, he smiled casually: "According to the habits of your old man, Your Highness, Prime Minister, shouldn't you speak on the premise of victory? Why are you so lacking in confidence today?"

This sentence was not expected to be answered.

But Oda Nobunaga gave a very unreasonable answer in a serious tone: "Because the opponent is you, Sasaki Ruun. Nine-tailed fox, there are several other existences of the same level, tell me that you are condensed. The unbelievably strong luck seems to be destined to be invincible and victorious in all battles... To deal with you, the best way is to turn the enemy into a friend. The second is to have a fair duel with sincerity. If you use tricks, or use Overpowering people will only backfire."

Liu Yun was taken aback when he heard this, he really couldn't believe it, he shook his head and said: "This kind of words sound like the words of a swindler in the countryside, but they don't seem to come from the mouth of a big monster of that level."

Oda Nobunaga smiled wryly, and said helplessly, "If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes many times, all the conspiracies and tricks on you were resolved by unimaginable reasons, and I would hardly believe it."

"What? Conspiracy?"

Liu Yun's curiosity suddenly rose.

Have you ever been the object of a conspiracy?Then it was resolved for unimaginable reasons?

When did this happen?

I really want to ask clearly.

Unfortunately, Nobunaga's patience finally ran out.He held his head high and issued the final declaration: "Today's questions and answers are enough. Since there is no possibility of turning an enemy into a friend, I have no other choice but to defeat you."

Liu Yun sighed softly: "Actually, compared to other warring states names, I think you are more pleasing to the eye. Originally, I also wanted to think more about the possibility of turning an enemy into a friend..."

"It's too late." Oda Nobunaga said blankly, "Didn't you understand what I just said? It doesn't matter whether we are serious about turning enemies into friends. What really matters is whether other people think that I have controlled Hold the situation."

Not only was there no expression on his face, but his voice was also without fluctuations.

Oda Nobunaga is like an emotionless robot.

He is quite tragic now, giving up the option of power and conspiracy, and coming to a head-to-head confrontation, obviously the chance of winning is not great.However, for certain reasons, there was no other choice.

But Liu Yun suddenly came up with an idea:

"It doesn't matter whether we're serious about turning enemies into friends or not. What really matters is whether other people think you've got the situation under control—that's what you just said."

Liu Yun repeated it, and then continued without waiting for the other party's answer: "In other words, whether you defeated me today is not the key point. As long as everyone else feels that today is your victory, that's fine." right?"

Chapter 278 Multiplayer Sports on Tsushima Island

The early autumn in the Tsushima Strait is very pleasant.

The wind is light and the clouds are calm, the sky is high and the air is crisp, sparkling, with slight ups and downs, it is an excellent time to do HNA trade.

The northernmost port on Kyushu Island on the Dongying side is about 85 kilometers away from Tsushima.The southernmost stronghold in the direction of Koryo is about [-] kilometers away from Tsushima Island.

Regardless of Japan and Japan, ordinary businessmen are seeking money after all, and it is difficult to bear the hidden costs and potential risks of doing business across the ocean. Therefore, ships of all sizes loaded with goods use Tsushima Island as a natural logistics hub and trading center. Constantly running back and forth.

Mainly gold and silver, copper and iron, leather, medicinal materials and other bulk goods with huge price differences - the uneven distribution of natural resources is an opportunity to make money.

Secondly, handicrafts such as calligraphy and painting, sculpture, lacquerware, and weapons are also quite popular. Although there is no essential difference in quality between the two, there are always many people who think that foreign monks are better at reciting scriptures and would rather buy imported goods at a higher price.

The lords on Tsushima Island are clans, a small faction with a military strength between [-] and [-], just not too weak to maintain law and order, and not too strong to scare businessmen, which is just right.

The residents on the island may be the happiest in Japan, at least one of them.

As long as young men are willing to sell their strength and help unload and load ships at the dock, it is not difficult to get a daily salary of forty or fifty yuan, which is more than two or three times that of other places.If you have the capital, setting up a small shop and stall to provide services to merchants is a business that makes a steady profit without losing small profits and high sales.If I really can't go to other people's stores and work as a laborer in charge of miscellaneous affairs, I won't starve to death.In short, it is better than farmers whose lives are hanging on the land and who are too busy to save money.

Looking around on the island, you can see that the blue sea and blue sky are all in one color, basically still the original appearance with no traces of artificial modification, and there is a cool breeze, and the water is calm. From the perspective of future generations, it must be a resort.

But now it is the sixteenth century.

There are only thousands of sails competing for hundreds of boats on the water, all of which are merchant ships loaded with cargo in a hurry.The beach is bustling with people coming and going, full of porters between the docks and warehouses.

There are very few tourists, which is probably due to the limitations of the times and regions.

and so--

A young guest in brocade clothes, wearing a long knife, generous hands, calm and calm posture, doing nothing all day long, and bringing a lot of female relatives by his side, is unavoidably very conspicuous.

Those who have met him can't help but mutter to themselves, doubting the origin and identity of this young master.

But as long as the gold leaf and silver leaf and Yongle Tongbao in his hand are the real thing, what does the origin and identity have to do with it?

As for whether there will be coveted by the younger generation, whether they will succeed or be repelled after the attack, that is not a question that serious people should care about.

Just concentrate on making money from customers, why bother so much?

……

"Is Koryo on the other side? It is said that it is very similar to Dongying, but the customs are not the same. When I was young, my grandfather said that I thought it was a place thousands of miles away. Brother, I never imagined that this concubine would see such a unique scenery in this life!"

On the roof terrace of the most exquisite dormitory by the sea, Sharo, dressed in a red and white maiden costume, leaned on the railing and looked towards the north with great interest. His voice was as soft as running water and as sweet as honey.

Especially when talking about the words "Master Yixiong".

"Tsk—"

Igawa Sakura, who was wearing a corset and looked full of energy, uttered a sarcasm, then immediately changed her face, approached with a smile on her face, and said with a gesture: "Ms. Shaluo is really interesting." , you are already the concubine next to Lord Liuyun, but you still often call him 'Brother Yi'. If this is put on someone else, I must think it is a deliberate softness, but since it is you, it must not be this Such a situation, it must be just thinking of the past and I can't help it!"

After hearing this, Sha Luo was not upset, but just smiled slightly, pretending to be shy, and responded in a low voice: "I am indeed a very confused person, sometimes I don't understand the current situation, I am so sorry Oh... Actually, I am very envious of your elder sister, Ms. Asagi, a strong and intelligent woman like her."

What Shaluo said seemed to be very sincere, but Ikawa Sakura immediately became very vigilant, like a kitten with puffed up hair, she quickly shook her head and denied: "No, no, my sister is not as good as you praise!"

"What I said just now is completely from the bottom of my heart." Sha Luo gradually revealed a mixed expression of admiration and bewilderment, bowed slightly and nodded in salute, and said solemnly: "Speaking of Miss Azaji ...The concubine heard that she was considering saying goodbye and leaving here to do what she wanted to do. This is really the determination that only she can have! If it was a concubine, I would only feel that I have found such a reliable person Husband, is there any other 'want to do' in life?"

"Hmm... um... my sister..." Igawa Sakura looked distressed, faltering, not knowing how to respond.

Sha Luo was still chasing after him, and asked, "Miss Sakura, what do you think?"

"Uh..." Ikawa Sakura was speechless, subconsciously took two steps back.

At this time, there were crisp footsteps from the side.

"I can answer Mrs. Sharo's question a little bit."

According to her prestige, she is wearing wooden clogs and wearing a bathrobe, and the woman with gentle and maternal features is Shuicheng Shiranui.She also brought her underage daughter Xuefeng by her side.

She walked forward and said with a smile: "Captain Azaji really had ambitions that ordinary people did not have before, so she thought it was impossible to pursue the happiness of ordinary women. But what she didn't expect was that she met It was Mr. Liuyun, a man who had the same ambition, and was superior to her in wisdom and force. So now you only need to concentrate on serving Mr. Liuyun, isn't it the same as doing what you want to do?"

"So that's how it is... Thank you, sister Shiranui, for answering my doubts." Sha Luo suddenly realized, and then, like a curious baby, he tilted his head and asked another question: "Then why did Miss Azaji say that she wanted to leave?" Woolen cloth?"

"Who knows, maybe it's the love between Mr. Liuyun and her." Shuicheng Shiranui blinked and showed a meaningful and subtle smile: "Just like Mrs. Shaluo, you occasionally use the word 'Master Yixiong'." The address is the same, probably it will make Mr. Liuyun especially happy on certain occasions... Alas, it is a pity that I am just an old woman with a mediocre appearance. It is lucky to be accepted by Mr. Liuyun, and I dare not ask for anything else. I really envy you..."

"No no... Sister Shiranui, you are too serious." This time it was Shaluo's turn to be shaken.

At this moment, Liu Yun's figure appeared at the corner of the stairs.

On his left are Iori and Saeko, and on his right are Asagi and Rinko. They can all be seen with varying degrees of exhaustion.

It's like just doing some high-intensity multiplayer sports.

Seeing this, Sha Luo took advantage of the situation to leave, and trotted to Liu Yun to greet him and serve him.

And Igawa Sakura snorted softly, and said angrily: "When she took the initiative to let everyone join the Sasaki family, she thought Mrs. Sharo was a good person! I didn't expect to put on airs every day to ridicule and exclude us..."

While talking, she also stepped forward and pulled the ignorant Xuefeng over, hugged the youthful and delicate carcass, and whispered angrily: "Xuefeng, please remember, Mrs. Shaluo is really bad. If there is a chance to win Master Liuyun's heart in the future, we must think of a way to get revenge on that bad woman!"

"Okay..." Shuicheng Shiranui couldn't laugh or cry, stretched out his hand to rub Ihe Ying's hair, and said in a gentle voice: "Actually, most of what happened just now was just her pretending to please Mr. Liuyun, including what I said Speechless is also..."

Chapter 279 The Reason for Leaving Kinki

On Tsushima Island, whenever Liu Yun woke up from his sleep, he couldn't help feeling that the entertainment activities in the [-]th century were really lacking.

Liange and tea parties are too unconventional; calligraphy, painting and Go are not something ordinary people can enjoy; shogi and martial arts are more competitive than interesting; Gambling does exist, but the rules are not perfect and there is no depth...

All in all, there is basically nothing else to do except get together to study human biology.

Occasionally, Liuyun imagined that he would simply create poker and mahjong from his memory, and then write a set of reliable rules, so that he could use it to pass the time.

But it has never been put into practice.

One is laziness and procrastination, and it is always impossible to formally invest time and energy to start.

The second is that the industry and logistics in this era are not well developed, and it is not easy to find materials with suitable texture and size.

The third is——

Gathering together to study the knowledge of human biology is very interesting after all. It is an entertainment project that can make people forget to return. It is impeccable except that it may not be conducive to the health of the waist and kidneys.

In contrast, the need to create poker and mahjong is actually not that urgent.

So it has been stuck in the planning stage.

With so many female relatives around, it would take several hours to spread the rain widely and evenly every day.

After solving one by one, it just entered the sage's time, sitting on the high platform by the sea and quietly watching the bright and bright scenery of the sea and the sky, with a kind of peaceful and indifferent state of mind.

All kinds of troubles are gone, all kinds of desires are gone, nothing is said, nothing is done, and you can immerse yourself in a daze for a long time.

I will review the swordsmanship in a symbolic way to avoid unfamiliarity, and then go to the tavern and shop every now and then to find out what important news there is in Kinki.Not worried about having nothing to do.
