Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 28: Please close your eyes at dark

The tea party was over, everyone had their tea, and they were all in high spirits.

   Baoke's Baoke stood upright, holding a fan, and doing a noh dance in front of everyone. After everyone laughed for a while, a few people set up archery targets in the courtyard and took turns to compete in archery.

   For the samurai, archery is both an entertainment and a practice to hone the art of archery.

As far as the Japanese bow was concerned, it was considered to be one of the longest and largest bows in the world, with a normal length of more than two meters, and the most notable feature of Japanese bows and arrows is that they are "long on the top and short on the bottom." In the lower two thirds, the upper part is weak and the lower part is strong.

  The design of such a long top and a short bottom is for the convenience of riding and shooting immediately and holding it horizontally.

   But as the children of the Samurai family, both Takeda Katsuyuki and Sanada Masyuki have practiced good shooting skills since they were young. In this regard, Li Xiao had to have an attitude of learning, playing purely as a hobby. Anyway, his spearmanship has already become a powerful master of the Takeda family. As for his bow and arrow skills, he doesn't even consider it.

   After shooting the arrow, Takeda Nobuyuki, Mochizuki Nobuyuki, and Sanada Masayuki felt that they had had a good time, and they all wanted to leave.

   Li Xiao had a plan in his heart, and now he opened his mouth to stay, and suggested that everyone simply play a game. This game comes from the country where Li Xiao lives in Ming Dynasty, and it is very popular. Nobuyoshi Takeda and the others were immediately interested when they heard that the game was from Mingguo, so they decided to stay overnight in Gaoyuan City.

   In order to make up the number of people, Li Xiao spent a lot of effort to bring Yamamoto Kansuke in the castle tower, and invited several other young warriors.

   Then Li Xiao took a bunch of notes, written loyal ministers and treacherous ministers in the notes, and let Takeda Katsuyai and the others draw them. Li Xiao will act as the counter-attack by himself, electing four treacherous ministers and the remaining eight loyal ministers. After that, Li Xiao explained the rules of the game to them in detail.

  The mission of the traitor is to kill all the loyal ministers, and every time a loyal minister is killed, everyone discusses it together, and finally chooses a ‘suspect’ to execute, and then the game continues. Until the loyal minister Fangquan is killed, or the traitorous minister Fangquan is executed by the loyal minister, the outcome will be determined.

   In fact, in this killing game, Li Xiao used to go to bars and play with people with his classmates. It can exercise a person's observation ability, logic ability, language expression ability, mental quality and performance ability.

   Then Li Xiao shouted that it was dark, please close your eyes, everyone closed their eyes, and then asked the four people who had drawn the treacherous minister note to open their eyes for eye contact, and decided to kill the loyal minister first. Everyone stayed for a few rounds, and after getting familiar with the rules of the game for a while, they got started right away, and they all cried out for fun.

   At the end of each round, the notes of the loyal and treacherous ministers are re-extracted. In the killing game, it is easier to see through the treacherous ministers who are more scheming and shallow, while those with poor judgment and observation skills are likely to kill ‘good guys’ by mistake.

   Like Mochizuki Nobuyuki, there are honest people like Bao Ke Changyue, who often make wrong judgments or be seen through.

   Of course, Li Xiao is most looking forward to a duel between Kansuke Yamamoto and Masayuki Sanada.

   Whenever Yamamoto Kansuke judges who is a traitor, his unparalleled insight and logical analysis ability always shocks the role of a traitor, and makes Li Xiao feel awed by his ability.

   In fact, when it comes to bixing the outside and the inside, Sanada Masukuki is very good at acting whether he is playing a treacherous minister or a loyal minister. In addition, his maturity and stability beyond his age, as well as his calm psychological quality, make Li Xiao more and more admired.

   During the game, there were many wonderful collisions between Yamamoto Kansuke and Sanada Masuko. Li Xiao could see that even Yamamoto Kansuke began to appreciate Sanada Masao. Li Xiao was secretly delighted to see this as well. At the end of the game, Li Xiao was also replaced, and Li Xiao relied on years of experience in playing killing games to mess up the situation even more, and his performance was not inferior to Kansuke Yamamoto, Masayuki Sanada and the others.

   It seems that the entertainment life during the Warring States period was really boring. None of these people in the Warring States period had played such an interesting game, and they were all addicted to it. Until the night, everyone was still picking up the lights and night battles. Finally, seeing that everyone was familiar with the game, Li Xiao continued to complicate the game and introduced the concept of guards.

  The guard can open his eyes and decide to kill someone who is suspected of being a traitor. As a result, the game is more complicated and fun, and even Yamamoto Kansuke, who has always been stern-faced, is also very involved in it.

   When everyone was exhausted that night, and when they went back to sleep, Li Xiao went to the bedroom of the lord Takeda Katsura alone.

   Right now Takeda Katsuyori hasn't married yet, and he doesn't have a good relationship with men, so he doesn't have a little surname to warm the bed. In the large room of the Tianshou Tower, he was only asleep, and there were several people nearby who were in charge of protecting his safety.

   "His Royal Highness, I have something to discuss with you." Li Xiao sat down cross-legged and said.

   Takeda Katsuyori heard that it was Li Xiao’s voice, and said helplessly, “I’ll talk about it tomorrow, I’m so happy to play today, I’m tired.”

   "It's a very important thing."

   After hearing Li Xiao say this, Takeda Katsuyori got up from the bed, put on his clothes and said, "Sir, what's the matter?" The two of them privately called Li Xiao Mr. Takeda.

   "What do you think of Masakaki Sanada?" Li Xiao said straightforwardly.

   Takeda Katsurai thought for a while, and um said: "It's a talent, sir, do you intend to recruit him as my retainer."

"Yes, I think Sanada's future strategy will not be inferior to his father. Otherwise, why would I try my best today to keep Shintoyo and Masakura and the three of them behind." Li Xiao said so, and the facts are true. In college, his main purpose of playing the killing game was to treat girls, and now he was playing with a group of Japanese samurai, which was really impossible.

   "But I don't know what Sanada's intention is? What's more, he must consult his father." Takeda Katsuyori hesitated and said. Sanada's father is Sanada's patriarch Yukatsu Sanada.

   Li Xiao had considered this for a long time, and said: "Sama Sanada is easy to handle. He and Yamamoto-sama Kansuke are old friends. If Yamamoto-sama comes forward, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will probably agree."

   Li Xiao suddenly felt that Kansuke Yamamoto’s assistant to Katsuyori Takeda was a great help. This person has served as a military commander of Takeda Shingen for many years and has a wide range of contacts on hand. At the beginning, Sanada Kotaka was defeated by Yoshiki Murakami, a tycoon of Shinano, and had to temporarily evade to Nagano Yatsuma, Ueno National Mininawa Castle.

   It was Kansuke Yamamoto who recommended Yukatsu Sanada to Shingen Takeda. Yukatsu Sanada just came out of the Takeda family, and later he used his ingenuity to obtain Toshi Castle. Since then, the Sanada clan has been reused by Takeda Shingen.

Li Xiao went on to say: "Sama Sanada has Yamamoto-san to solve it, but I am worried that Masayuki Sanada himself refuses. I think he is a young man, but he is a man with ambitious and long-term vision. Based on our current conditions, it is not. It can be easily recruited."

   Takeda Katsuyai thought for a while, then smiled and said, "This is easy. Promote him to Admiral."

   "This is not enough."

   "Can you still give him an additional two hundred guan annual salary?"

   "Not enough."

   "A few more famous swords and swords, how about?"

   "Not enough."

   Li Xiao shook his head. It seems that Takeda Katsuyori still doesn't understand Sanada's abilities.

   Li Xiao is doing his best at this moment, not just to form his future retainer team for Takeda Katsura. Takeda Katsuyori must have Masyuki Sanada under his command early. With his support, not only did one party win over Shinano's Sanada family, but also a powerful help.

   No matter whether it is military strategy or resourcefulness, Sanada will be one of the best figures in the Takeda family in the future. With his joining, as well as Li Xiao, Wakayamamoto Kansuke is also willing to stand on the side of Katsuyoshi. This lineup is comparable to the four Takeda ministers who supported Takeda Yoshinobu.

  Only in this way, when Takeda Katsuyoshi takes charge of the Takeda family in the future, he will not be in danger of being emptied by the four ministers.
