Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Akechi Mitsuhide felt that he had slept for a long time.

He was not fully awake yet, but he had already sat up on the mattress, shook his head a few times, and then gathered his wandering consciousness, staring blankly at the wallpaper in front of him.It wasn't until a while later that he woke up suddenly and turned his head to look outside the house—the sliding door was closed tightly, and there was only a faint light shining into the room through the washi paper.

Long-term exhaustion cannot be made up for by a short sleep, but Akechi Mitsuhide feels his body is much more relaxed, and his mind is still a little lethargic, but he no longer has the splitting headache after being mentally tense to the extreme.He first looked at his clothes—it was still the same one he wore when he went to see Saburo, but the coat had been taken off, and it was scribbled on one side of his waist.His face towel was also placed on top of his clothes, and there were a little yellowish and some gray-brown spots on the corners, which was the proof left by the Asakura family's pursuit and hasty retreat.

I only remembered to change clothes, but forgot the face towel... For this little negligence, Akechi Mitsuhide hammered his head angrily, then put it on again, put on the face towel, changed to a clean one after preparation, and then pulled it away Sliding the door.

It was already dusk outside.The room he was in when he just woke up turned out to be the room where he had talked with Saburo before.

Hori Hidemasa was walking from the far side of the corridor, and the maids ran anxiously, stopping to talk to him from time to time.It’s just that Akechi Mitsuhide is still sharp-eyed, so he saw the panic on the faces of those maids—these maids who have always stopped deliberately because of Hori Hidemasa’s beauty, probably encountered something really this time, so that they were so flustered that they didn’t care. Express love for Hori Hidemasa.

what happened

Akechi Mitsuhide had just woken up and was really confused.And because of the similarity with Saburo, the people near this room should have been dismissed by Saburo, so that he couldn't find someone to ask quickly.

Suddenly having a bad premonition, Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and walked towards Hori Hidemasa.

Although young, Hori Hidemasa already has the qualities of a general.Before Akechi Mitsuhide approached, he had already noticed the other party, and immediately showed a kind smile to Akechi Mitsuhide.Such a sunny smile was fixed on that handsome face, almost even the maid almost forgot the panic before, and quickly covered her flushed cheeks with her sleeves.

Akechi Mitsuhide: "..."

Seeing that Hidemasa Hori can still laugh like this, it's probably not a big deal.

Seemingly feeling the mood under Mitsuhide Akechi's mask that can only be described in a little bit, Hidemasa Hori quickly restrained his smile and strode towards Mitsuhide Akechi.Although surrounded by many maids, it obviously can't affect Hori Hidemasa - not to mention coaxing the maids to leave with a smile, he himself is very strong.

"Mr. Wise finally woke up, did the maid go to bring you food at noon, because she found that you were not awake, she almost opened the door to wake you up. But His Highness gave you a very serious reprimand."

Akechi Mitsuhide: ... so dangerous.

"Yes. Because I have always been in poor health, and because I was too tired when I came here before, Your Highness is also thinking about my health." Although he knew that Saburo would not say anything vicious, Akechi Mitsuhide still subconsciously defended Saburo. , "I see that the maid seems to be in a panic, what's the matter?"

"It's not a big deal." Hidemasa Hori thought for a while, and a somewhat helpless but "very interesting" smile appeared on the face of the androgynous young man, "Your Highness burned the kitchen down."

Akechi Mitsuhide: ...

Wise Mitsuhide:

"Is that... what I mean by 'burn'?" Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and asked, "Your Highness, he went to the kitchen..."

"Yes, His Highness said early this morning that he was going to 'forge knives'. He sent people to buy a lot of jadeite, whetstones and charcoal, and sent people to move the stone trough for feeding horses to the kitchen. Just now, because the maid had to prepare dinner, , so I went to the kitchen, only to find that it was already on fire."

Akechi Mitsuhide was so choked by this unimaginable thing for normal people that he was almost speechless, and after a while he said: "...Please take me to the kitchen to have a look."

"Okay." Hori Hidemasa joked, looking at Akechi Mitsuhide's entire face with only a pair of eyes exposed, "Mr. Akechi will probably just be able to catch the fire."

-

Akechi Mitsuhide still remembered that when he went to see Saburo yesterday, the sun was setting. Even if he fell asleep quickly and really slept for a long time, seeing that Hidemasa Hori was not worried, he slept deeply for a day at best.

So why did he hear Saburo burning the kitchen when he opened his eyes!

did he miss something while he was asleep

Even if he really wanted to do something, San Lang's mobility would be too high if he suddenly made such a brilliant move!

In a trance, Mitsuhide Akechi had the illusion of a headache again.He followed Hori Hidemasa, feeling top-heavy even walking.After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he saw a house surrounded by people and emitting black smoke.Among them, Maeda Toshiie, because of his height advantage, can see his long face from a distance, not to mention that it is covered in black and gray, and it also shows a very funny expression that seems to be crying and laughing.

Maeda Toshiie shouted hoarsely: "Your Highness!! Why did you rush in again!!"

Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly lost his footing and almost slipped.

With an indescribable mood, he quickly squeezed into the crowd.Because they were busy fighting the fire, most people didn't pay attention to him. After struggling for a while in the crowded and sweaty crowd, Akechi Mitsuhide finally squeezed to the front—just a few steps, he was already sweating Out.

He hurriedly looked at the burning kitchen in front of him.Because of the timely rescue, there were not many open flames in the kitchen, and only faint flames could be seen in some corners.On the other side, people were coming one by one carrying buckets. Everyone was wearing a hat and tied a shawl, splashing water on the kitchen pillars.The smoke and dust permeating the air quickly turned into scorching moisture, and Mitsuhide Akechi could hardly bear the itch in his throat.

Most of the walls had been burned black by fire, but fortunately they were not burned directly, and they barely supported.Not long after, Saburo with the same ashen face came out from the blackened door, and said without shame: "Ah, it really failed."

Akechi Mitsuhide: "..."

Akechi Mitsuhide, who had only heard about Saburo for many years and still came to join Saburo from Echizen, always understood what is called "Owari fool".

"Most of the charcoal seems to have been burned, but the jade and whetstone are still there. Ah, the cooling material also played a big role in extinguishing the fire. The stone trough can also be used." Sanlang counted with his fingers. Unexpectedly, there was something useful, and he said seriously to Maeda Toshiie, whose face was blackened by the smoke, "Inuchiyo!"

Maeda Toshiie raised his head subconsciously: "Wow!"

"Help move the stone trough out, I'll find a spare kitchen and try again."

As Oda Nobunaga's loyal dog, Maeda Toshiie, who has repeatedly emphasized that he no longer uses the nickname Inu Chiyo, because Saburo has always had a hard time remembering his name, has almost developed the condition of "You call your baby name and I say Wang" Reflected——however, for Maeda Toshiie, who worshiped Saburo wholeheartedly, and was even hired as a retainer of the Oda family because of a quick "woof" in response, it made no difference at all to yell twice.

His orders to Saburo have always been actively implemented.Therefore, Maeda Toshiie just stood there in a daze, and agreed very simply, and rushed into the scorched kitchen like a race with the always at odds with Narumasa Sasao. The heavy stone trough was moved out directly.

Because the fire had been extinguished and Saburo was safe and sound, the people around finally dispersed gradually.Akechi Mitsuhide who stopped at the spot could hardly wait for everyone to leave, so he hurriedly asked: "Your Highness! What exactly do you need to do to start a fire in the kitchen?"

"Hmm—" Sanlang wiped his dark face, thought for a while and replied, "I want to forge a knife."

"'Forging knife' is enough to find a swordsmith to make a sword for you." Akechi Mitsuhide said suspiciously, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he had already associated it with other things from the sword, "Or do you... want Is there something similar to Sosan?"

"That's right. Because Xiaoguang has seen the time-traveling army, I think that since Zongsan and the others are dedicated to dealing with the existence of the time-traveling army, then such a small number of people is not enough."

Akechi Mitsuhide: "...Are you sure, is this the way?"

To be reasonable, a monster like Daojian Fusangshen must seek some way of yin and yang no matter how you look at it.Talismans, blood, etc. are all acceptable. What’s the matter with setting fire to the kitchen?

Are you sure you didn't get a donkey?

"Zong San and the others said they did it this way." Saburo also showed a distressed expression, which soon turned into a sudden realization, "I understand—the order is wrong!"

Akechi Mitsuhide: ""

"I piled jade and whetstones in a stone trough, and then burned charcoal, but after burning for a long time, the jade and whetstone did not change. I went to look it over, and it burned." Sanlang looked at the jade inside. Just now, the two generals of the Oda family, who tried their best to carry the stone trough, said firmly, "Next time, we will change the method - if you forge it out, let's go and see the sword together, Xiaoguang."

Akechi Mitsuhide endured and endured, and then reluctantly responded: "...Yes."

However, he still felt that Saburo might have been killed by a donkey——

Just when the two made this agreement (not), Katsuie Shibata, the oldest military general in the Oda family, with a smiling face of Aoe, finally heard the news.When he saw Saburo's black face and black clothes, his serious face immediately became gloomy.

As if trying to adjust his mood, he pursed his lips for a long time before asking with a green face, "Your Highness! I heard that you want to forge a knife."

Saburo nodded calmly: "That's right!"

"...This kind of work is naturally done by swordsmiths. Not to mention Gifu, even in Kyoto, there are countless swordsmiths. You don't need to forge knives yourself." And it's just throwing jade and stone together - who has seen such a thing? Forged knife!

He continued: "The more important thing right now is how to return to Gifu as soon as possible."
