Naito Ruan felt almost palpitations for no reason.

His appearance is quite similar to that of his father Naito Munekatsu—or Matsunaga Nagayori, but he has no similarities with his father's elder brother Matsunaga Hideo.Although Song Yongxiu looks very fierce no matter whether it is the scar on his face or the tough and sculpted facial features, which does not conform to the aesthetics of this era, but at least the degree of recognition is first-class.Compared with Matsunaga Hideo, both Naito Roan and Naito Sokatsu are somewhat lost in the crowd.At least Naito Zongkatsu is capable enough to ensure the stability of the entire Kitanba territory, but Naito Ruan had to become Naito's governor at that time because he lost his father when he was 15 years old. The rapidly changing situation in Tanba saved the entire family. In recent years, the territory owned by the Naito family has been eroded by Hatano and Akai Naomasa.

He couldn't explain how he felt right now.There is no scorching sun or cloudy outside, the whole sky is mild white and blue, the breeze is blowing slowly, it is a rare and comfortable autumn day, but he always has a kind of uneasiness about the coming wind and rain.

Is it because knowing that Mitsuhide Akechi is attacking Kameyama Castle of the Naito family, is it because he is worried about the survival of the family?

It doesn't seem to be the case again.Naito Ruan didn't have a deep understanding of Akechi Mitsuhide, but judging from the opponent's style of fighting while persuading surrender when he attacked Tamba last time, Akechi Mitsuhide was not a person who liked to kill.The Naito family did not betray Mitsuhide Akechi like Hatano did. At best, they did nothing to protect themselves. This may not be considered a credit, but it is not a serious crime either.If it is explained that Chimitsu Hideo did not point his sword at Hatano and Akai Naomasa from the very beginning, then General Oda should still be very sensible, and his style of behavior is even less likely to change drastically, sacrifice more or less, but the Naito family will definitely survive of.

But if he wasn't worried about the attack of Akechi Mitsuhide who was close at hand, what was he afraid of?

Naito Ruan couldn't figure out his own thoughts, so he could only describe it as sitting in the room with a serious expression in the rare good weather.

"—Your Highness! An unknown person broke into the city!"

It's just that before he was troubled by his sudden boredom, his valet hastily knelt down in front of him, his face full of panic, but he still tried his best to explain the matter clearly from the beginning to the end.

"There were two men in black robes who appeared in the courtyard earlier. They should have walked up from Sannomaru to the main city. It is unclear whether the other party has any companions. Please—"

Before he finished speaking, he felt as if he was being hit hard by something on the back of his neck, and his eyes suddenly went dark.

The taller "man in black robe" he mentioned was standing behind him, slowly lowering his hand holding the dagger.The Taidao is in a scabbard, and the purple bead on the Taidao thread seems to have a circle of gold from the inside. Just by looking at it, you can tell that it is not ordinary——but after seeing this, Naito Ruan couldn't help but hold on to his sleeve tightly , the color on his face was almost gone.

One of the two people who didn't know where they came from or what their purpose was was standing in front of Naito Ruan, while the other was on the grass outside the veranda, with his back to them.

The tall one looks like an adult man, but the short one seems to be just a teenager.The two of them were indeed wearing loose black clothes, as the comatose valet had said. The clothes were simple and poorly made, just to cover up their figures.Naito Ruan could only see the adult in front of him. Under the hood of the black robe, the "big flying" Nomura opened his red mouth wide, and his eyeballs protruded as if they were about to come out of their sockets. He was fierce and angry. Watching him intently, even in the blue sky and broad daylight, this appearance and attire are like ghosts and make people frightened.

"Your Highness Naito."

From under the face of "Big Flying Out", came a gentle male voice that didn't match his appearance, speaking in a tone that was too peaceful for an attacker.

"I am deeply sorry for breaking in without permission this time. It's just that we don't have time to apologize and greet you at the moment. Even if you feel offended, we can only ask for your forgiveness."

Naito Ru'an opened his mouth, and his eyes couldn't help turning to the side.

The smaller man in black robe seemed to have finished what he wanted to do, and turned his head to look over.His Nengmian is "Little Flying Out" which is similar to "Big Flying Out". Under the less intense sunlight, a layer of delicate orange-red glows on the surface of the ocher Nengmian, and that kind of powerful image is also out of thin air at this moment. A thirst for blood.Naito refrained from showing timidity, and shifted his gaze again, not daring to concentrate on the equally terrifying energy face, and only followed the child's hand to land on the dagger with the scabbard in the opponent's hand.

The scabbard was still stained with dots of white flakes, but it fell off after being shaken by the thin white and delicate hand, and mixed with what looked like a white snake and a snake bone on the ground.

I don’t know if he noticed Naito Ruan’s gaze, or he just wanted to join his companions—in short, the boy with a stern face landed next to “Da Feichu” after a few easy runs, and Naito Ruan didn’t even react Come here, only the white snake is left in front of you.He turned his head abruptly, and there were two terrifying faces in his field of vision, one of them had stepped over the fallen body of his valet, approaching him at a slow pace, then knelt down in front of him, and naturally moved his hands The tachi was placed across his knees, and the golden Nomian pupils seemed to be staring straight at him.

The breeze is still blowing.Most of the grass and trees in the yard have withered due to the season, and they swayed and rattled when the wind blew.The news of the intruder was not only known to the servants, but to report back to him as soon as possible. At this moment, the shouts of people outside were gradually remembered, and it seemed that they were getting closer and further away from him.

Naito Ruan clenched his sleeves even tighter.

He pursed his lips, and tried his best to ask in an indifferent tone: "Whose ninjas are you from? What do you want to do here?"

"We are not hostile to you." Yiqi Yizheng said calmly, "If words are not enough to win your trust, my useless face may be able to win your trust for me for a moment."

The young man in a black robe raised a hand with a white glove, and lifted half of the fierce face of his face, revealing a face that was much more handsome than ordinary people, as well as the water-colored hair that slid down from his forehead .

...This strange hair color that is completely different from ordinary people——

"You are the 'Koka Ninja' of the Oda family!"

The rumors of "Koka Ninja" are too widespread, and Naito Ruan can identify the other party's identity only by relying on the hair that is difficult to dye.

He had already relied on his own judgment before, convinced that Mitsuhide Akechi would not be able to kill the entire Naito family, but at this moment when he suddenly saw the Koga ninja who was supposed to be from the same camp as Mitsuhide Akechi, he still couldn't relax in his heart. The vague uneasiness also found its source.

Yes.Akechi Mitsuhide has indeed always used a combination of toughness and softness in attacking methods. Because of the situation in Tanba, he has always focused on persuading peace first... But Akechi Mitsuhide is just a retainer, and his lord Oda Nobunaga has always been a penny-pinching, Arrogant and brutal man! !

Asai Nagamasa betrayed Oda, and Oda Nobunaga used his skull as a drinking vessel to drink.Hieizan Enryakuji Temple helped Asakura, and Oda Nobunaga burned the temple.Ishiyama Honganji Temple was unwilling to give up the site of the temple to Oda Nobunaga to build the city, so Oda Nobunaga became hostile to Honganji Temple, suppressed Ichikui, and slaughtered the believers of Ichikozong. Until now, he still wants to drive Honganji Temple to extinction...

Even though he had converted to Christianity in his early years, Naito still felt terrified of the several massacres of Oda Nobunaga.He is sure that he will not lose his life because of Akechi Mitsuhide, and that his only way forward is to surrender to Oda, but he is not sure. He once supported Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and even now he still yearns for the "great righteousness" represented by the general Whether he can get the kindness of Oda Nobunaga, he has lost a lot of territory of the Naito family, whether he can keep it in the hands of that brutal person.

"Did I... did something offend Nobunaga-kun?"

How'an Naito could only ask depressedly and blankly at this moment.

"The Naito family has already decided to support Mr. Akechi. Before Hatano and Akai were powerful, it was difficult for the Naito family to speak out, but there was no act of betrayal."

"That's not why I came here."

Yiqi Yizhen still said in a gentle manner, and he had already pinned Nengmian back to his face with his hands. Matching Nengmian's expression, his tone seemed to be more questioning.

"How much do you know about Shu Matsunaga?"

Naito Ruan was stunned for a moment.

He probably thought of something, and immediately retorted emotionally: "You mean, I spread the word for Maori, which caused Matsunaga Hideo to betray Oda! I never did this!"

One issue, one shock: "..."

It was the first time to try the important task of inquiring about intelligence. The first issue of Yizhen had just entered the topic, and was caught off guard by Naito Ruan's violent reaction.He didn't quite understand what aspect of himself other than mistakes made Naito think of this aspect, and there was no time for him to reflect on what he had said right now.Therefore, he could only say in a calmer and more friendly tone than before: "I just want to ask His Highness Naito if you know anything about Matsunaga Hideo."

Naito Ru'an's face turned blue and pale, obviously he didn't believe that Yiqi Yizhen's questioning was so simple.But he stared at the Taidao on the latter's knee, and he knew very well in his heart that if the other party really wanted to kill him, he should be decapitated the moment the servant fell down.

He licked his lips, his tone was still a little excited, but compared to the eager clarification just now, it was more like showing weakness at this moment: "I am not familiar with Song Yongxiu. Although my father often claims to be Song Yongxiu's'first younger brother ’, but when my grandmother died of illness, she claimed to be the only one with my father and son... I have never had any contact with that person.”

"Then Munekatsu Naito, have you mentioned some... anecdotes about Matsunaga Hideo?" Yizhen asked in the first issue, "Matsunaga Hideo has extraordinary talents, and there should be something different from ordinary people."

"Are you talking about the picturesque birthmark that was born on his back?" Naito Ru'an asked hesitantly, not knowing what Yiqi Yizhen wanted to ask, "Or is it that Song Yongxiu claimed to be able to walk a hundred steps?" The 'flying arrow' ability to kill people within"

One issue, one shock: "..."

In fact, it is really troublesome to talk to people of this era. In the first issue, I compared the two things mentioned in Naito Ruan’s words with Matsunaga Hideo’s gun, and I still feel that the latter is closer to what I want. Asked about the matter, he reluctantly said: "What does 'flying arrows' refer to and what happened when His Highness Naito's father met Hideo Matsunaga—do you know these things?"

So why does Matsunaga Hideo have a younger brother——

Of course it's my brother. :)

Because it is the first younger brother, it is completely fine to ask for the surname of Song Yongxiu.Hahahahaha.

Naito Ru'an thought that they were interrogated at the behest of Saburo in Yiqi Yizheng, and immediately became well-behaved.jpg.

It is too difficult for people and blades to understand each other. (sorrowful tone)
