Chapter 719
"I fight with the public, and I use swords and not salt."
The meaning of this sentence is that the things used for war are swords, not salts. This is actually Masayora's mockery of Ouchi Yoshitaka's fear of not daring to face the Qiuyue family with real swords and guns. Instead, using these despicable means is not what the gentleman calls it, but is actually a shame for the warrior.
This time, Masara had to take the opportunity to take revenge on Ouchi Yoshitaka. In the past, Ouchi Yoshitaka always mocked Masara for his love for sneak attacks (actually, he was beaten to lose, and he was so angry). He was even the first Daming name to Masara for nicknamed "Sneaking Eagle". Since then, many famous and powerful men have also liked to mock Masara like this. Now Masara has to take this incident as an opportunity to add salt and jealousy to it, and in turn, mocked Ouchi Yoshitaka for a lot of fun, so that Ouchi Yoshitaka would also feel the feeling of being ridiculed.
In fact, this way of ridicule can also be understood as a strategy for the other party. People with low psychological quality will often be affected by this and make some incomprehensible decisions. In Masayora's view, Yoshitaka Ouchi is such a person with low psychological quality, otherwise he would not have been depressed until now because of his miserable defeat to the Nizi family.
"Hmph, I'm doing it pretty well." After reading Zhengliang's letter, Qiuyue Wenzhong said contemptuously in his heart. This time he was forced to accept several harsh conditions of Luo's devil, Zhengliang, and his heart was still bleeding. When he saw Zhengliang's words that pretended to be generous and seemed to be really supporting the enemy, he was really angry. What made him even more annoyed was that in order to conceal the secret alliance between the Qiuyue family and the Luo family, he had to cooperate with Zhengliang Luo to perform hard. So he endured his inner discomfort, forced a touching expression, and sighed:
"Alas! As our enemy, after knowing our predicament, he actually deliberately sent salt here..."
Except for a few important officials in the conference hall who knew the true relationship between the Qiuyue family and the Luo family, the other retainers were also moved after hearing Qiuyue Wenzhong's sigh.
"It is true that there is no gift that is more grateful than this." Among the retainers, who clearly knew the price he paid to get the Luo family to support the Qiuyue family, saw that the head of the family's face became redder and red (it seemed to be a change in expression caused by the touch, but in fact it was so angry in his heart), he quickly took over the acting baton of the head of the family.
There is no way for them to do this. This time, the secret agreement with the Luo family, and even the agreement that secretly formed a secret alliance with the Luo family last year, was only known by Qiu Yue Wenzhong and others. As for the other retainers in the family, they were unaware of it. Because once these retainers also knew about it, it is difficult to guarantee that some retainers would accidentally leak the news for them to know. If the inner family knew about it, not only will the alliance between the Qiu Yue family and the Luo family be exposed, but even some secret agreements this time will be exposed. Then all cooperation with the Luo family will be invalid this time. Qiu Yue family will also be forced to stand on the side of the Luo family. This result is not good for the Qiu Yue family or the Luo family with other purposes. So they must continue to play the show so that everyone thinks that the Luo family is still an enemy of the Qiu Yue family.
After suppressing the aggrieved mood in his heart for a little, Qiu Yue Wenzhong sighed again: "Since we can ensure the supply of salt now, the people will not have to suffer anymore. I feel so relieved! Oh my, I don't regret it as much as today. I regret letting the Kyushu Eagle become our enemy. That guy is the talent we need!"
Well, Qiu Yuewen's acting skills at this time have already made several well-known retainers a little stunned, but they have to bite the bullet and agree:
"It is a miracle to have such a person in a chaotic world!"
"Hmph, but..." Just as the officials in the meeting hall were grateful for Zhengliang's generous gift of salt, Qiuyue Wenzhong's tone suddenly changed and said seriously, "The next time we fight with the Kyushu Eagle, we must do our best. If we are lazy, the Kyushu Eagle will probably be unhappy. The decisive battle with a dignified battle is the best gift to the Kyushu Eagle."
"yes!"
...
As a large number of salt supported by the Luo family arrived at the border of the Qiuyue family, the salt was sent to various parts of the Qiuyue family territory. With these salts arrived together, there were rumors about the despicable and shameless blockade of the Qiuyue family territory, which resulted in no salt available for everyone, and the Kyushu eagle Masaro Masayoshi who was generously given salt as a hostile force.
"Yitaka Ouchi is really a despicable villain! May he never have an heir!" The fact that Yoitaka Ouchi, the overlord of the Western Kingdom, has no heir, is well known.
"I will actually send salt to us, who are enemies. Although the fat eagle in Jiuzhou is the enemy of our country, he is an outstanding person!"
For a time, the leaders in Qiuyue's territory who received the salt given to the Luo family were full of gratitude to Zhengliang.
Rumors began to spread throughout the territory of the Qiuyue family, and then rushed out of the territory of the Qiuyue family, and began to spread in Kyushu, Shiguo, Xiguo, Kyoto, and even in Kanto.
"Bang! Damn, damn!"
The angrily screamed Ouchi Yoshitaka in the Zhou Fang Da’an Pavilion, and a tea bowl from the Ming Dynasty on the desk was also knocked over by Ouchi Yoshitaka. Recently, he was studying Kyoto culture with some down-and-out ministers from Kyoto. This tea bowl is Ouchi Yoshitaka’s favorite family treasure recently, but now it has been beaten up by Ouchi Yoshitaka. It is estimated that Ouchi Yoshitaka will regret it when he wakes up.
Yoshitaka Ouchi is also a traditional daimyo and attaches great importance to his reputation. Now there are rumors that he is a despicable villain everywhere, so it would be strange if he is not angry. What annoyed him even more was that the damn sneak attack eagle actually took this opportunity to give salt to the Qiuyue family in a high-profile manner. This was the direct slap of the sneak attack eagle in the face! And it made Yoshitaka Ouchi feel the face hot almost every moment. It was so frustrating, so frustrating!
"No, we must send troops to teach this despicable sneak attack eagle, and we must not be happy." In anger, Yoshitaka Ouchi immediately planned to say.
"Hu...Hu..." Yoshitaka Ouchi's chest kept rising and falling, obviously in a fierce struggle in his heart.
"Hmph, let you go for the time being this time." Fortunately, at the last moment, reason still prevailed, and Yoshitaka Ouchi gave up the idea of a full battle with the Luo family.
"Let's go and sing the songs written by Nijo and others yesterday." Looking at the beautiful scenery in the yard outside the window, Yoshitaka Ouchi's brows stretched slightly, so he said to himself.
