On the surface, Hashiba Hideyoshi, who pretends to be honest and honest and loyal to Saburo, is actually not a good person.

When Hirate Masahide was still there, he killed Hirate Masahide and then killed his companions, in order to win the favor of a "killer" and try to infiltrate the Oda family.It's a pity that Saburo was in a hurry to take Hirate Masahide back for treatment and burial, but he didn't even look at him in the end, so he had to kill the passing needle dealer again and change his identity.

Oda Nobunaga's younger brother Nobuyuki wants to combine Yoshimoto's power to overthrow Nobunaga, and he is among them.Ashikaga Yoshiaki delivered letters smoothly when he didn't have his own team, and there was no lack of his secret help (Ashikaga Yoshiaki himself knew nothing about this).Even after he became a general of one of the four major armies of the Oda family, he never trusted his younger brother who came to him suddenly, and even treated him cruelly——When Hashiba Hidecho tried to guess his mind, he often He would choke the opponent's neck sullenly and viciously, or even face the sword, even if it was the lightest degree, there would be a ruthless blow from the scabbard.

...Although Hashiba Hidecho himself enjoys this, and is very willing to stir up the sensitive nerves of his biological brother when the two are alone, to enjoy the all-round murderous threat and the sharp sword imposed on him.Especially Hashiba Hideyoshi's stern face that completely tore apart the gentle mask made him feel as comfortable as pouring a basin of ice water on his head (regardless of whether it is winter or summer).

Hashiba Hideyoshi, who brought misfortune out of his mouth, showed up the next morning with the scars left by Hashiba Hideyoshi who was said to have been furious.

However, he himself was born as a ninja, and this small injury will not hinder his mobility. Moreover, no matter how annoyed Hashiba Hideyoshi is, it is impossible to really kill him at this time.Therefore, no one knows what happened last night except the two brothers.

After a night of precipitation, Hashiba Hideyoshi finally suppressed the fact that the iron cannon master who was finally hired failed to kill Nobunaga, and might become his own handle in the future. anger.

Among them, Hidecho Hashiba contributed the most... Well, not only because the timing of the announcement was just right, and it became a punching bag, but also Hidecho Hashiba's hatred of Hideyoshi Hashiba and Saburo (unilaterally) as a bystander, so it is not unreasonable Will be like Hideyoshi, driven by momentary anger, and rarely allow himself to act impulsively-although whether it is to drive ninjas in the name of Hexagon, or simply and neatly list Nobunaga's only path, he has a decisive attitude , Well-thought-out, but compared to Hashiba Hideyoshi's forbearance and low-key behavior all the time, it can still be considered too reckless.

On the other hand, Saburo, yesterday's sudden attack did not affect him in the slightest.The only thing that made him show a childish expression of regret was the fact that a hole was pierced in the cloak with intricate patterns on his body.

Such a look of no sense of crisis not only worried the retainers, but even Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was the instigator, felt deeply frustrated, and almost became angry again, just wanting to see Saburo change his face.

Fortunately, acting impulsively like this only once is enough.His purpose was just to bury Oda Nobunaga, not a foolish target that would not cause actual harm.This time, Liujiao will help him take the blame, and in the future...

Even more cautious.

Convincing himself in his heart like this, Hashiba Hideyoshi was finally able to show a flattering expression to Saburo again.Even in the clear sky and broad daylight, this expression was so perfect that Hanbei Takenaka, who had doubts about him from the beginning, couldn't help frowning secretly, pressing his doubts deeper in his heart.

The army soon moved forward again.Because I have already entered the relatively safe territory of Ise, the rest of the trip went smoothly.From time to time, Yanrong found traces of the time-traveling army, but just like those in Kyoto and Gifu, most of the time-traveling army were short swords and wakizashis, hidden in dark places.Occasionally, some swordsmen would mix into the crowd, and they also attracted attention because of their different appearance (skull decoration and good quality swords), and finally retreated silently without Yanrong approaching.

It was the first time he came into contact with such a time-traveling army that had no attacking intentions, and was even a bit silly. Yan Rong was only excited when he met the enemy at the beginning, but soon disappointed by the opponent's low strength.In order to ensure the safety of Saburo on the march, the only naginata among the sword men also chose to follow the God Judge for a long time, temporarily turning a blind eye to these time-traveling troops.

They didn't react much either, they just stayed where they were, quietly peering around.This made Yan Rong, who originally thought he would be chased, heaved a sigh of relief, but was also puzzled.

However, no matter how many doubts he has, the judge who is less clear than him is absolutely unable to answer.

In this tense or relaxed atmosphere, the Oda Army finally returned to Gifu safely on the night of May 5.

——The ones who greet Saburo are of course Guidie's joyful expression, and the serious faces of the men with swords and swords who went back to the city first.

Under the stark contrast between the two, Saburo just untied the Yoshimoto Zuo characters hanging on his waist and handed them to Xiao Xing, and then chose Guidie without hesitation, temporarily ignoring the black faces of the swords and swords, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Guidie the back.

After Saburo left and news of her defeat came out, this amazingly beautiful woman has been in deep anxiety.Whether Saburo successfully escaped to Kyoto, or Saburo intended to deal with Asai, the things that cheered up Oda Jun's heart couldn't make her smile—no, let alone a smile, she never even felt a little relieved Pass.

Different from when he first came to Gifu, this Oda Nobunaga’s main wife, as early as his father Saito Dozo (the patrolman who came through) and his elder brother Saito Yoshiryu (killed his father to win the position of Mino Daimyo) successively When he died, as early as when Saburo took Mino, he had nowhere to go.The only place to live is probably only by Saburo's side.

It was only a few months since Saburo left Gifu, but Gui Die had already shown fatigue that could not be ignored-this was definitely not caused by one or two nights of insomnia.Even so, she still smiled and threw herself into Saburo's arms. Because that smile came from the heart, it was not even restrained by the body, and it seemed extremely sunny and full of vitality.She felt that the body embracing her was truly warm, and then she lowered her eyes as if she was finally relieved, her long eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings, and then she was wet by silently oozing tears.

"Your Highness, you are back safely..."

She has always paid attention to (and had to pay attention to) appearance, she didn't care about the dust and sweat on Saburo's body, she just pressed her face against his chest, as if she wanted to draw strength from his heartbeat.Under the dim candlelight, her side face is also sickly white, like a flower that is about to wither, and fortunately, before it withers, it has waited for the sun that is willing to pay attention to this flower.

"I know His Highness will return safely." Gui Die, who had helped the swordsmen, said firmly, tears gradually soaked through Saburo's clothes, "...you are finally back."

"Well, I'm back."

Saburo, whose face was full of exhaustion, unconsciously softened his expression.He patted Gui Die's back to comfort him, but he only touched the long hair that was as smooth as silk.Such a smooth touch seemed to awaken some memory in him, so that his expression became more gentle.

But in the end he pushed Gui Die away and complained: "Okay, let me take a shower now—Shu Zhuwan and you too! If you have anything to do, don't bother me after you take a shower, Yan Rong will leave it to you."

Gui Die looked around subconsciously, but still couldn't see the sword man standing beside him.With a relaxed expression, she smiled and asked when Saburo was waiting for the hot water and yawning, "Then, can Zongsan and the others help His Highness?"

"...It was a great help." Recalling the several assassinations of the time-traveling army encountered on the way, Saburo replied without guilt.

"Then that would be great." Grabbing Saburo's hand and sticking it to her face, the pale and sickly beautiful woman said, "As long as your Highness is safe, I am satisfied."

"—That's what I said." Saburo just frowned, looking at Guidie's gentle expression, and seriously stated his thoughts, "However, my current sword It's enough... Even if it's not enough, you can still forge. Gifu can't always be empty, so I'm thinking, let's arrange some people to stay here."

"Yiyuan Zuowen is by my side, Zongsan Zuowen is by your side, it's fair."

Immediately, all the sword men turned their attention to Zongsan Zuowen!

Zong San Zuo Wenwen looked indifferent.

Fortunately, even though she didn't understand why the word "ninja" was replaced by "sword", Guidie still bent her eyes safely under Saburo's unconscious care. It made her look even more amazing.

She whispered softly: "No need, there are many maids in Gifu City. If it is a crisis that Gifu with tens of thousands of troops can't resist, it's useless even if Your Highness keeps Sosan by my side... As His Highness's spy, Hikari It won't work with me."

"Eh, that's true." Saburo actually considered Guidie's words very seriously, and nodded, "But I personally think that Zongsan and the others seem to be difficult to play the role of spies—they have their own mission. on."

"No matter what the mission is, as long as they can help you by His Highness."

Probably interpreting the mission that San Lang blurted out into one of the words and deeds that San Lang has always been difficult to be understood by others, Gui Die just looked at San Lang's face intently.

"As long as His Highness is alive... Gui Die is also alive."

"Hey! I suddenly feel that the responsibility on my body is much heavier. But since I have been said like this... there is nothing I can do."

Saburo first showed a distressed expression, then stretched his brows and eyes, and spoke firmly.

"Don't worry. Because Oda Nobunaga will rule the world, so I will live to win the world and show you."
