After taking Ise Nagashima, the Oda family's army quickly returned to Gifu.Even though the burning of Mount Hiei a few years ago has proved that Oda Nobunaga has no reverence for gods and Buddhas, but when Oda Nobunaga's atrocities spread this time, everyone who heard about them was still horrified.

Ichikui from Echizen is the most annoyed—but no matter how angry they are, they can't change the situation that they can't do anything at this time.The Ganshou Temple in Ise Nagashima was also burned down by Oda Nobunaga. This was a major blow to the Ichimuzong, but the timing of the Oda family’s dispatch to Nagashima was really good. Kaga has always been struggling for power and it is difficult to withdraw his hand. Even if he wants to deal with the Oda family, he is powerless.

The same goes for Takeda Katsuyori.His father, Takeda Shingen, had a close relationship with Honganji Kenjo, but because he himself had inherited the Suwa family, he had a strange relationship with the Ichiko sect.The death of Sanada Kotaka caused the Takeda army to be in turmoil. Even if Takeda Katsuyori found out the news of Oda Nobunaga's dispatch of troops, he could not seize this great opportunity to attack the Oda family. He could only focus on the present and hold the Takeda family in his hands.Until the return of the Oda Army from Ise Nagashima, Takeda Katsuyori was still in the process-so this time, the Oda family fought a rare unfettered battle, even until the end of 1574 and entering 1575 , the Oda family is calm.

And... the sword men who were thrown out by Akechi Mitsuhide to be with the wild samurai... finally came back! !

Even Hidemasa Hori is back! !

Managing the wild samurai is really a difficult job. Even if you make up your mind and want to do it seriously, the lack of internal affairs of the swordsmen cannot be made up for in a few months.The valet Yakiri Hasebe, who is best at internal affairs, left Honmaru and the judge, and was half-dead every day in Zhicheng. Izumi Mamoru Kanesada was mainly focused on drills, and he was the one who provoked important internal affairs at critical moments. Xiaohumaru really didn't have the talent in this area, and had to switch to Minghu after a while ago; and Minghu was also very troubled by the daily work, and because of his taciturn personality, he couldn't stand Hori Xiuzheng's investigation could only be replaced by the bone scorpion Toshiro after half a month; the bone scorpion Toshiro was barely competent, but because the body had been burned in history, he turned into Fusangshen In the end, it was inevitable that the relationship was weak and the city was not deep... In the end, this mess was still relying on (at the time) the first phase of the first phase when I first came to Oda House Honmaru to turn the tide.

Even if a person who can take the lead is finally found, the loss of time is still inevitable.Therefore, the men of swords and swords who trained wild samurai unsurprisingly missed the historical events of blood-stained Long Island, and did not get the order to return to the city until the new year approached.

As soon as he returned to Honmaru, Hasebe, who had been sluggish and lifeless like a dead fish during this period of time, immediately regained his spirits.He looked the same as before leaving Gifu, except that his cheeks were slightly sunken due to his sluggishness these days.In an instant, he regained his sense of responsibility as a close servant. Yakiri Hasebe first ordered Ikshin and Atsuto Shiro, who was acting as the deputy of Ichishin at the time, and invited people in a rehearsal state that could be seen by others. Communication, waiting for Saburo's interview.

For such an orderly action, Rao Hidemasa Hori also nodded, which is considered to have recognized this group of "Koga ninjas" who are not ninjas.

At such a time, Saburo, who was going to meet Kokiri Hasebe and others... Of course, as expected, he was with Akechi Mitsuhide again! !

After realizing that Token Fusangshin was not all loyal to Saburo, Akechi Mitsuhide asked Saburo to expel most of the sword men by suggesting that Token Fusangshin be in charge of the wild samurai.This was not a malicious move by the retainers—to be precise, being awarded the position of leading an army as a starting point to devote himself to politics could already be regarded as a great favor.Even Hori Hidemasa didn't think there was anything wrong with Akechi Mitsuhide's approach, but because of his own inclination, he still wanted to be by Saburo's side for the time being, instead of fighting as a general.

At the same time, Hidemasa Hori was also keenly aware that he would follow the swordsman to manage the wild warriors, which probably had a bit of surveillance in it.But no matter how sharp his thinking is, he guessed that the sword man's real body is not a "Koga ninja", but he still didn't think about the ghosts, and because of the sword man's elusive and flexible hands, he was only vaguely aware of himself He is also skeptical about the "surveillance missions" he has received.Out of this suspicion, as well as previous suspicions about Akechi Mitsuhide's true identity, Hori Hidemasa dutifully determined that the Swordsmen can indeed manage an army of thousands of people (at least one strike is enough for one period) After that, the news was sent to Gifu, which contributed to the return of the sword man.

These things... Of course, the Sword Fusangshen still don't know! !

To be fair, it would be strange enough for a swordsman to lead a wild samurai.Even if it has been proven that they can indeed do well, they don't really want to use this as a foothold and join the political whirlpool.

The enemy of the promised sword man is the time retrograde army!

Well, what a Honmaru has become!All the men with swords are not doing their jobs properly!

It's just that the judge of God is Oda Nobunaga, which itself is something that cannot be bypassed.No matter how much you complain in your heart, when you really face Saburo, the men with swords and swords seem to be unable to do anything except serve the God Judge with a smile.

Akechi Mitsuhide has not completely dispelled his doubts about sword men until now, but it is probably because the time spent communicating with Tsurumaru Kuninaga when Nagashima was captured was too little, and the Taidao that was forged in the Heian period also experienced vicissitudes. Even if you get along alone, it will not make people unhappy. Tsurumaru Kuninaga's unique frightening lifestyle also relieved Mitsuhide Akechi's pressure, so he, who already understood the value of a sword man, did not stop this group of people. Sword Fusangshen means returning.When Yaki Hasebe came to ask for an interview, he happened to be sitting with Saburo. Firstly, he wanted to make a beating, secondly, he really had something to discuss with Saburo, and thirdly, it was...

"Your Highness seems to be much worse than before I left Gifu." After Hidemasa Hori respectfully saluted, a pair of sparkling eyes naturally looked at the person sitting in the main seat—it has been nearly a year At that time, he could still easily recall Saburo's appearance, immediately frowned his slender eyebrows, and asked with some worry.

"...Don't worry, Kutaro." The young man on the main seat pursed his lips, and soon showed a gentle and polite smile, "This is because I discussed political affairs with Mitsuhide before, and I haven't eaten yet. The kitchen should I’ve prepared miscellaneous cooking, please tell Ranmaru to bring it up. After that, you can go to rest.”

Hori Hidemasa's expression was indescribable for a moment.

He looked at the lord with a gentle expression and an extraordinary bearing on the main seat with complicated eyes, and found that the other party seemed to be meticulous even in his sitting posture, his attitude seemed close but actually alienated, and his appearance that was no different from before was all the more outstanding because of this dignified appearance. As in the past, it is always difficult for people to notice the appearance at the first time because of the laxity.For this reason, he even ignored "Akechi Mitsuhide" who was sitting carelessly and lazily on the side, and only looked at "Oda Nobunaga" who was sitting on it wholeheartedly... When "Oda Nobunaga" was a little confused because of his gaze Tilting his head uncomfortably, he was able to ascertain something from this similar small movement, rushed forward, half-kneeled in front of "Oda Nobunaga" anxiously, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong, Your Highness?" Have you been sick recently?"

"Oda Nobunaga": "...No, not at all."

"Please don't hide your physical condition. This appearance does not look like what a healthy person would look like." Hori Hidemasa looked at the other party's face carefully at a close distance, and found that snow-white face On the surface, there is a tired and demeanor, although his eyes are bright and energetic, but he can't see the energetic aura of the past, and he is even more worried.

After all, he is a valet, even if he hasn't come back for almost a year, he still remembers where many things should be placed.Immediately, Hidemasa Hori took out the waffle from the side cabinet, and placed it in front of "Oda Nobunaga" without any explanation. At first glance, the face that became more and more beautiful because of worry looked like a real beautiful woman Also, people can't help but want to admire in their hearts: "I'll help you get the quilt right away, please take a good rest."

His worry was so sincere that "Oda Nobunaga" felt overwhelmed, so he could only repeat helplessly and weakly: "I am indeed in good health."

That's right, the third is... approaching the New Year, Akechi Mitsuhide and Saburo switched identities again.

Whether it's appearance, skin color, or body shape, Mitsuhide Akechi and Saburo are surprisingly consistent. As long as they exchange clothes, it will be difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.Saburo doesn't understand etiquette...or he is impatient to learn etiquette, so as long as Akechi Mitsuhide is around, Akechi Mitsuhide will take the top most of the time-this is the case when he goes to the court.And in private, when Saburo is impatient to deal with the New Year's greetings, he will occasionally let Akechi Mitsuhide take his place.

With the same face, this operation of changing identities has not been discovered by anyone except Zong San Zuo Wenwen and other sword Fu Sangshen accidentally bumped into it last time.It’s just that Mitsuhide Akechi’s replacement can’t be regarded as flawless—he handed over the identity of “Oda Nobunaga” to Saburo when he was young because of his frailty, and after many years of wandering life, he couldn’t take good care of his body. After returning to Oda's house, he faced another series of battles. The young man with a bad foundation could barely maintain his health, but the sickness on his face like Saburo's was hard to change.

Such a thin sickness is hard to see.However... Hori Hidemasa is just an ordinary person!

He has served as Saburo's close servant for several years, and he has already memorized the lord's appearance, characteristics and mannerisms.He did have an alias of Kutaro, but Saburo never called him that name seriously, but always called him by strange nicknames like "Xiao Jiu", and never called Akechi Mitsuhide as "Mitsuhide".

Today's lord is not only calling like this, but even his behavior has become elegant and rigid, like a noble son in Heianjing.This is certainly commendable for other people, but if it is for Oda Nobunaga who has always been willful, it would be terrible.

Sure enough, he is sick!

It will suddenly become like this, could it be a fever!

"Please rest quickly, I will call a doctor for you." Hori Hidemasa said seriously to Akechi Mitsuhide, with faint dissatisfaction between his brows.

He stepped out of the door quickly, looked around, and sure enough, he saw Mori Ranmaru who was kneeling and sitting not far away, waiting for orders with a sullen face, and immediately beckoned the young child over with a low voice. reprimanded.

"Your Highness is not feeling well. As a petty surname, you didn't notice it before?"

Sen Ranmaru... Sen Ranmaru looked blank.

Third more.

Well, keep typing.
