Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Hashiba Hidecho was one step ahead of Tsurumaru Kuninaga and the others.

He did, as Tsurumaru Kuninaga guessed, rode away the horse belonging to Takenaka Hanbei-the so-called acting must be done in full, since he instructed Ishida Sakichi to pretend to be Takenaka Hanbei still in the city, he will try his best to make it perfect.He was still wearing the single body suit that was left after stripping off the armor, but he had refastened the belt that was much longer than the belt needed.Compared with a high-born person like Takenaka Hanbei, he didn't feel anything about disheveled clothes, and now he returned to the city in such a mess, he didn't feel any shame.

With the hands and feet he did before, all the ashigaru guarding the city have been replaced by members of the Hashiba Army.Even if a few members of the Mino Army had doubts about the sudden shift order, they couldn't handle the large number of Hashiba's army, and Takenaka Hanbei was not in the city——

Ah, no.

It should be "Hanbei Takenaka is seriously ill and dying, no one will see him"!

Naturally, the gatekeeper Ashgaru would not ask Hashiba Hidecho why he came back wearing only a single shirt, nor would he ask who the person in his arms whose face was covered by hair was.At this critical moment, Hashiba Hidecho will be entrusted with the important task of guarding the goal, of course it will only be his confidant.

In the unstoppable rain, the small wooden door was slowly opened, scratching a semicircular mark on the muddy ground.

Hashiba Hidecho got off the horse, casually handed over the reins, and asked Ashgaru to take him back to the stable to freshen up—after all, he couldn't leave any traces that the horse had been out.Then he was still holding the man whose face could not be seen clearly, and walked lightly towards Hanbei Takenaka's room.The mud-stained sandals had been discarded by him long ago, and his bare feet were also stained with mud, but in his tiptoe-like walking posture, the mud prints left on the veranda did not look like ordinary people's footprints at all.

There was still a faint coughing sound coming from the Japanese room.

"—Very hard, Saki." Hidecho Hashiba pushed open the sliding door silently, and showed a smile of satisfaction or contempt at Ishida Sakichi.Originally, Sakishi Ishida was startled with his back turned to him, but the weak cough he had pretended was immediately interrupted. In the dark room, there was only the dull sound of him turning around in a hurry and bumping into the desk.

"Next time you do something like this, remember to face the door." Hashiba Hideaga said, "But this time it's fine-come and see. I brought Mr. Takenaka that you miss so much."

Ishida Sakichi seemed to froze.The chaotic crashing sound and nervous inhalation sound just now all disappeared at the moment Hashiba Hidecho's voice fell to the ground.In the dark and indoor room, the young man under [-] had already realized what Hashiba Hidecho's arrival represented, tears were streaming down his face silently, and his whole face was wet without knowing it.

A few seconds later, there was another dull sound—it was the sound of Ishida Sakichi kneeling heavily on the tatami.

Hashiba Hidecho had already put down the person on his shoulders.Hiding in the darkness, the family members of the Hashiba family took a step or two forward in a kneeling posture, stretched out trembling hands towards the motionless person, and gently brushed away the person's drenched hair.The outside of the house was brighter than the Japanese room. He was used to the darkness indoors, and without any additional light source, he could clearly see the other person's face. In just an instant, he shrugged his shoulders, feeling unbearable grief. He lowered his head.

Under the hair that was pushed back by him was a masculine and handsome face.Compared with the paleness when he was sick, the man's face at this moment is more like lifeless ashes, and there is a natural touch of melancholy in his serene expression. I don't know if it is because he is worried about Saburo's comfort, or because he still has regrets.The tiny drops of water on his eyelashes are still reflecting the light, making his whole face more serene and vivid like flowers in the rain for no reason, just waiting for those eyes to blink lightly, the water drops will be shaken off, The pair of eyes like cold stars and deep pools were revealed again.

But he wouldn't open his eyes anymore—it wasn't just the mountain rain that completely soaked his clothes, but also his own blood.

"It's about time for my brother to come over—fortunately, he caught up in time. You take care of him." Hashiba Hidetoshi's tone was casual, but not very gentle. He just turned around and walked out after giving the order .Ishida Sakichi heard his words, but remained silent. With trembling hands, he slowly peeled off Hanbei Takenaka's cloak, replaced the corpse that had become cold due to the wind and rain with the vertical pillow, and stuffed it into the quilt .

His eyes were still filled with tears, the hot tears seemed to burn his skin, making him restless, every time he saw the teardrops dripping on the back of his hands and sleeves, his hands trembled The magnitude is even greater.But apart from the trembling, his expression was numb and calm, as if he had lost his self-awareness, he only knew how to mechanically carry out Hashiba Hidecho's orders.

He picked up the cold medicine on the case table, and poured the dark brown medicine juice from Takenaka Hanbei's chest expressionlessly.

The concoction covered the scarlet blood, hiding the biggest part of Takenaka Hanbei's body invisible. Immediately afterwards, Ishida Sakichi carefully tucked up the quilt for Takenaka Hanbei. The long, blown rainwater drenched most of the corridor, and he walked to the nearest guard who guarded the Japanese room.

"Mr. Takenaka, the end of life is not long."

His tongue was unbearably stiff, and his articulation became dry and stiff.

"He wants to see His Highness Hideyoshi..."

The guards understood his words without hindrance—only when they realized that Hanbei Takenaka might pass away, the guards who belonged to the Mino Army wailed, and threw the sword in their hands to the ground. Painful and sad, pulling his hair hard, refusing to believe what Ishida Sakichi said.

But he couldn't help but not believe it.

Since this morning, Mr. Takenaka's condition has suddenly deteriorated.Probably realizing that his time was approaching, Mr. Takenaka sent two teams of cavalry to call back the two generals Hashiba Hideyoshi and Hashiba Hidecho, who had just set off, because he was worried that after his death, the Mino Army might fall into chaos and morale In a downturn, he specially gave the token to Ishida Sakichi, asking him to withdraw the Mino Army that was already guarding every corner of the city.Ashigaru, who went to deliver meals and medicines, also said that he had heard Mr. Takenaka coughing all the time, and he didn’t take a bite of the food until it was cold. It seemed that there was blood dripping on it inadvertently... All these details have long since passed away. All sides proved to him the facts that Ishida Sakichi had just told him. He, who obeyed Takenaka Hanbei, no matter how sad he was, he could not resist the lord's dying wish.

"I... leave the city. I will leave the city immediately." The guard said incoherently, "Why haven't the previous cavalry found Mr. Hashiba!! I will go out immediately to deliver a message for Mr. Takenaka!"

He turned around and ran quickly to the stable, and he didn't care to look carefully at the situation in the stable. He just pulled out a horse and was about to get on the horse and leave.Ishida Sakichi didn't stop him, and there was no need to stop him-when he succumbed to Hashiba Hidecho, Ishida Sakichi was already on the path of life he should have been on.

He only looked at the guard's back quietly, and walked back slowly.

When Tsurumaru Kuninaga and others rushed to the city, it happened to be the time when Hashiba Hideyoshi entered the city.

In order to catch up with Hideyoshi faster, Hanbei Takenaka took a path with dense forests, so Tsurumaru Kuninaga and others also took that path.However, Hashiba Hideyoshi escorted the Hatano brothers on a road with sparse forests, not easy to be ambushed by people, and the road was much wider.Therefore, Tsurumaru Kuninaga and Hashiba Hideyoshi entered the city at the same time and from different entrances of the city gate.

Due to Hashiba Hideyoshi's sudden appearance, Tsurumaru Kuninaga didn't have time to inquire in detail about what Ichiki Ikshin and the others saw. He only had time to wave to them, and stood on tiptoe by the sliding door, listening carefully to what was going on inside. dialogue.

Hashiba Hideyoshi's armor was covered with rainwater, and there were only a few people carrying it.It took him several seconds after he entered the Japanese room before he lit the candle himself, just enough for the guards who had been driven out of the city to meet Hashiba Hideyoshi face to face. It was the hair soaked in cold sweat, and the medicine stains on the neckline.He didn't have the slightest doubt, he just backed out with tears in his eyes, leaving space for the pair of "masters" who had a "very personal relationship", standing far away in the yard, not only as a guard, but also to calm their minds with the help of cold raindrops down.

It seems that only a quarter of an hour has passed, and it seems that a long time has passed——Hashiba Hideyoshi came out of the room when the guards were already drenched in the rain.

He announced with grief: "Mr. Takenaka has passed away."

"He called me back in an emergency just to... persuade me, don't ignore the intelligence of the officers, soldiers and guards! I should have advised him to leave here to cultivate, but unfortunately when he refused, I didn't insist!!"

No one can expose Hashiba Hideyoshi's lies at this moment, even if the Touken man appeared at this moment, there is no evidence to prove that Takenaka Hanbei had become a corpse before that.In history, Takenaka Hanbei's exhortation to Hashiba Hideyoshi before his death turned out to be such a "sincere exhortation"! !

He had already expected this scene, but when he actually heard it, the guard still couldn't help crying.He saw Ishida Sakichi—Ishida Sakichi was also pale, because the room was finally lit with candles, and the wound on his forehead was now visible because it was no longer covered by the loose hair under the light, From time to time, a few thin streams of blood will flow from the wound that has not been properly treated.

Taking Ishida Sakichi's wound as the result of accidentally hurting himself in grief and anger after witnessing the death scene of Takenaka Hanbei, the guard looked at him and felt that his heart was full of sympathy.He wiped away his tears, knelt down in front of Hashiba Hideyoshi, and lowered his head: "I have fully understood His Highness Takenaka's will. From now on, I will be at your service."

Yes, that's it.

Takenaka Hanbei himself and Hashiba Hideyoshi's mutual wariness is something only they themselves know.In order to make the ashigaru fight together, these differences have long been concealed by themselves.As long as Hashiba Hideyoshi shows that Takenaka Hanbei trusts and is loyal to him, no one can question this except Takenaka Hanbei himself!

From then on, there will be no difference between the "Hashiba Army" and the "Mino Army". All the ashigaru in this city will only be the unified "Hashiba Army"! !

"It's not enough for the Hatano brothers to be escorted by Masakatsu (Hachisuka Masakatsu)." Hashiba Hideyoshi said in a weary tone, "Hidecho, you go and catch up with them immediately. I... will deal with Mr. Takenaka's funeral here. I'll catch up with you with his coffin when I'm done."

He whispered clearly.

"Don't let me down, Xiuchang."

"How can I let you down." Having put on the general's armor again, which is different from cavalry, Hashiba Hideaga naturally put on an appearance of rushing to the city with his brother just now, making people who don't know The people in the room couldn't see that he was actually changing clothes in the city, "I will definitely send him to Antu in a good way-so that I can live up to Mr. Takenaka's spirit in heaven."

"Because Mr. Takenaka must also want to see his brother develop better and better."

Replace tomorrow morning.This episode has nothing to do with the main text, nor with the second part.

And, if I say long comments and updates during the National Day...

Anti-theft episode has been replaced.

Long comments are one comment and one update.But I can only do two updates a day at most.Only long comments with substantial content will be counted, and quick updates and jokes are not counted.

Before his death, Hanbei Takenaka advised Hideyoshi to reuse Guanbingwei for a while. From Baidu Encyclopedia.This article is Hideyoshi's lie.
