Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Things have come to this point, Mizoo Motomo has no choice.

He did not untie the belt that was wrapped around Saburo and Jiro Taidao, but took out a piece of black cloth from the gap in his armor, and firmly covered Saburo's body to cover the other party's clothes and clothes that were too obvious in the dark. skin, and then pushed and shoved the big knives who had turned into retrograde troops to leave as soon as possible.These enemy elders were supposed to attack him, but for some reason they just roared and didn't take the next step, or they still had a little bit of consciousness left, and they stumbled towards the other side after being pushed by him.

There was no need to use a knife to open the way. Although the two retrograde soldiers had become huge because of their physique, they entered the forest more easily than when they were riding horses.There are naturally traps hidden there, however, their toes have become claw-shaped and they no longer feel normal pain. Even if they step on the trap, they only change their walking posture, and their speed will not be affected, let alone The footprints left are all shaped like the footprints of large beasts.With no time to watch the retrograde army leading Saburo slowly go away, Mizoo Shigeru quickly cut off the already dying horse with a knife, and blood that was brighter and more smelly than human blood immediately sprayed him all over, tick tick The answer fell to the ground.

After doing this, he closed his eyes tightly, and finally reached out to the head that was still warm, grabbed the hair and lifted the head in his hand.

Yaken Toshiro was carrying the box, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

After a while, Hashiba Hidecho really appeared in front of them.

Now that he has guarded against Saburo to this extent, even if he saw the shot hit with his own eyes, it is impossible for Hashiba Hidecho not to come to confirm Saburo's life and death.The two retrograde troops hadn't gone far, and there were only horse corpses but no human corpses on the ground. Everything was suspicious, but Mizoo Maochao looked frank and resolute, the head in his hand had not completely faded blood, and the fracture was still wet ——As long as there is this biggest evidence, the rest of the things are just trivial matters.

Hashiba Hidecho only parted his eyes on this head, and he couldn't look away anymore. The face that often wore a frivolous smile suddenly lost all expression, showing the most real indifference and surprise.

And, like waves boiling under the surface of calm water, excitement.

At this moment, it seems that only the sound of wind and human breathing still exists.After a few seconds, Hashiba Hidecho took a few steps forward, forcefully snatched the head from Mizoo Shigetomo's hand, brought it close to his eyes, and looked at it inch by inch with his narrowed eyes like a fox.

This is indeed the head of Oda Nobunaga.

After realizing this, a smile that was so bright that it was a bit hideous suddenly appeared on his face.

"I didn't expect Zhuang Bingwei to be so capable. My brother will be very happy now." Hashiba Hideaga said.He has no intention of returning his head to Mizoo Motomo, but his expression has restrained the overly exposed part, becoming as frivolous and casual as before, even bouncing that head up and down like throwing a ball:

"This is a great achievement. Ah, I'm so envious."

"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Mizoo Shigeru stared at Hashiba Hideonaga's hand, trying his best to restrain the urge to pounce, but his expression was still uncontrollably ugly, and he could only use words to make his performance look even better Approaching the displeasure of being robbed, "Those two ninjas ran away, and while they are not moving so fast, find and kill them quickly."

Then he asked again.

"Hashiba Hide-chan! You didn't tell me about your arrangement here, it dragged down my actions. Is this what you mean by cooperation?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry." Hashiba Hideki smiled, "However, I do feel a little guilty for keeping Zhuang Bingwei busy for so long—"

Lightning flashed across the sky suddenly, and in the flash of light, Hashiba Hideo's long face was even more sinister than Mizoo Shigeru's face covered in horse blood.

As if he had sensed the danger, Mizoo Shigeru raised his knife and pointed it at Hashiba Hidecho.The thunder exploded at this moment, and at the same time he raised his sword, the ashigaru behind Hashiba Hideunaga also drew their swords at the same time, pointing straight at him!

"However, even letting go of the two ninjas won't affect the overall situation." In the suddenly tense atmosphere, Hashiba Hideaga himself still smiled, "I'll report to my brother now, whether Zhuang Bingwei will stay here and kill the grass, or go with me. together"

Mizoo Shigetomo replied without hesitation: "Of course I want to solve future troubles here!"

"Then I'll leave it to you here." Hashiba Hideo said long.

The man who just handed over the lord's head cautiously put down the knife.The fresh blood of the horse was also bright red in the night, although it had already run down the edge of the blade, there still seemed to be a little redness left on the edge of the blade.He seemed to have some doubts about Hashiba Hideumaga's straightforwardness, and stood there looking at that frivolous smiling face for a few seconds, but due to various reasons, he still chose to follow his previous answer and turned towards the direction where the two retrograde troops disappeared. look.

There are many shadows of trees in the uncut forest, but apart from the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, there is no one in his field of vision.The shadows of the retrograde army, especially the enemy Datai who has become extremely large, are fundamentally different from the shadows of the branches and leaves of the trees, and they should not be completely invisible!No matter how fast they are, they can't disappear in an instant... Yaken Toshiro didn't go to the rear, but is here to help, or there are other traps here besides the animal trap, and they have unfortunately stepped on it!

No, it doesn't take much time to set up the traps, but it takes a lot of manpower to set the traps.These two ninjas (retrospective army) should still be safe.

Shigeru Mizoo's heart is in a mess.Fortunately, what comforts him is that as long as Hashiba Hideaga himself leaves here, he can slowly search for——

The accident happened right now.

When Mizoo Motomo completely turned his back to Hashiba Hidecho, the man with his head in one hand didn't turn around and walk away, but quietly bullied him.The white blade quietly unsheathed in a stabbing manner, and the blade brushed against Mizoo Shigeru's shoulder armor, and it rested on his neck without a sound—Mizoo Shigeru subconsciously raised the unsheathed blade, He held the sudden attack knife, but his reaction was still a second slow, and the direction of his force was wrong in a hurry. Even if he used both hands, he could barely block the white blade, and a hole had been cut on the side of his neck.

But if he reacted a little slower, he wouldn't even have a chance to resist, and he would die on the spot!

Even if it had been expected, the Hashiba brothers would probably silence him after this matter is over, but Mizoo Motomo never expected Hashiba Hidecho to do it so quickly!Still use this kind of attack method that is so accurate that it is almost weird!

"—So, in order to express my apology, why don't you take a rest here." Hidetoshi Hashiba showed no guilt on his face, and his eyes were indifferent, "My brother and I will not leave anyone who will be shaken. Beside. You can understand."

This place is too close to Sakamoto Castle.And Mizoo Motomo claimed that he would give Sakamoto Castle to Hashiba Hideyoshi, but Hashiba Hideyoshi would naturally not put receiving the castle as the first priority if he wanted to do such a big rebellion. In other words, Sakamoto Castle was losing his wisdom After Mitsuhide, it is currently under the control of the Shigeru Mizoo Dynasty.Compared to the "Koka Ninja" who is lowly in status and can't cause any trouble even if he runs out, Mizoo Motomo, who participated in this incident and has an army and power in his hands, is the most dangerous person to the Hashiba brothers.

It is true that the same secret can firmly tie several people together, but Hashiba Hideyoshi has the idea of ​​gradually encroaching on the Oda family.Today, the publicity is still "Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion at Honnoji Temple", and the name of Hashiba's dispatch this time is also "Akechi Mitsuhide".Mizoo Motomo, as the person closest to Akechi Mitsuhide, even changed his surname to "Akechi", keeping him means that countless people will come to question Mizoo Motomo's real situation in those few days.Of course, he can buy Mizoo Shigetomo with a lot of money and a high position... But why would he do that?

As long as Mizoo Shigetomo reveals a little word, Hashiba Hideyoshi's plan may fail completely.Why would he take such a risk!

Mizoo Motomo's cronies were supposed to come to the rescue immediately, but they were pushed and attacked by the people brought by Hashiba Hidecho, and they couldn't get close to them for the time being.While resisting Hashiba Hidechana's strength with difficulty, Mizoo Shigeru racked his brains and tried to delay time: "Since I am willing to hand over Sakamoto Castle, I naturally want to serve Mr. Hashiba wholeheartedly. Hashiba Hidecho! How dare you I swear, don't you really want to monopolize all the credit!"

Almost as soon as his words fell, there was a shout of killing suddenly from behind Hashiba Hideonaga, and the torch was held by someone, moving towards this side at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mizoo Motomo suddenly felt relieved - Yakuken Toshiro still acted according to the original plan.

During the period when Yaken Toshiro had to follow him in an "expedition" state, they had been communicating with pen and paper.Akechi Mitsuhide prepared for the worst. Although they didn't want to see things happen like that, they also knew that if they really got to this point, they must not drag Akechi Mitsuhide back.

Yaken Toshiro has never appeared in Sakamoto Castle, and after all, he is a "Koka Ninja" who often moves in Azuchi and has met many famous historical generals. Therefore, this time, this short sword fusangshin cannot appear and lead the army, lest he be caught People suspect that Saburo is not dead.However, Mizoo Shigetomo can give his subordinates a signal when to act, and the secretive Yaken Toshiro will pass it on.

Now, Hashiba Hidecho's thoughts are completely on him, right?

It is impossible for Yaken Toshiro to go to Sakamoto to send a message. The only people who can be urgently mobilized are the people he brought this time.In order to show friendship and win the trust of Hideyoshi, he brought not many people. One team has already followed him here, and the other team has been dispersed and assigned to wait outside the forest.

The sum of these troops is not enough to deal with Hidecho Hashiba... However, the people who killed him alone were enough to delay the time, enough for Oda Nobunaga's ninja (retrospective army) to take him out.Moreover, Yaken Toshiro's footsteps are extremely fast, as long as he ignores them after sending out the signal, he can completely respond outside.

He will not disappoint Akechi Mitsuhide's entrustment.so--

Mizoo Shigeru tilted towards the face of the blade, and the white blade that was still held was just shaken out by him.He didn't care about the gap exposed by this risky action, but raised the knife straight up, and intersected with Hashiba Hidechang.Even though Hashiba Hidesaki was treacherous, he couldn't use it in such a close fight. On the contrary, Mizoo Shigetomo was originally from the samurai family, and after many battles, he fought more and more bravely with the heart of death.

He didn't even forget to laugh at Hide-chan Hashiba, and put everything on the dispute of taking credit: "I knew you would do this! If you want to kill the donkey, your brother really ordered you to do so!"

The swords collided and clanged, and Taro Taidao cut down the trees during his escape, and the small open space opened up was convenient for them to fight in close quarters.Just in a gap, Hashiba Hideo suddenly threw Mitsuhide Akechi's head up, and Shigeru Mizoo, who was already emotionally agitated, subconsciously chased in the direction of the head.

... Then, just as he was catching the head, Hashiba Hidecho also stabbed him in the vitals.

There was no need to hide any emotions anymore, Mizoo Shigeru let himself burst into tears on the still calm face of the lord.

He had already tried his best to help Oda Nobunaga escape, but he was out of luck, so he had to stay here... Presumably, Akechi Mitsuhide would not blame him, would he?

It's just been a few days.Since his lord is so concerned about Nobunaga's safety, he must not be reincarnated so early... If so, what's wrong with him being able to meet the lord in the underworld?

……

Hashiba Hidecho drew out his sword, and watched Mizoo Shigeru's body fall down with cold eyes.

He lifted the head from Mizoo Shigeru's arms again, and looked at it carefully.There are no traces of whitewashing on the head, and the outline of the facial features is exactly the "Nobunaga" he knows - no matter how powerful Oda Nobunaga is, it is impossible to find such a similar person to die in a short time , Therefore, this is undoubtedly the head of Oda Nobunaga.

Thinking of the way Oda Nobunaga, who was famous all over the world, ended up in this way, Hidecho Hashiba couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness Hidecho, what should I do with Mr. Mizoo's body?"

Such a strange sense of excitement kept Hashiba Hideaga in a good mood when he heard the cautious inquiry of Ashigaru: "Since my brother is going to take over Sakamoto Castle, let's send it back—ah, remember to tell the people there, Guangxiu has been crusaded. Zhuang Bingwei followed him to seek rebellion, and he knew that his crime was serious, so he killed himself after the lord intervened."

As he spoke, he reminded again.

"Remember to dispose of Zhuang Bingwei's body properly. And, send someone to set fire to burn this area."

After Ashgaru hurriedly nodded and left with the corpse, Hashiba Hidecho brought the head up to his eyes again, looking straight at the past.

"The era of Oda Nobunaga is over."

he said with a smile.

"—Next, it will be the era of my brother."

——End of the Warring States Period.
