Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

In order to prevent outbursts, Niwa Chohide occupied Minasaku Castle as quickly as possible.Soon, Maeda Inuchiyo——Inuchiyo's nickname is a tall and thin young man whose name should be Maeda Toshiie, and several other Oda family retainers soon led troops to set up the main camp on Mount Minizaku according to Saburo's previous tactics. Attack Guanyin Temple City.

...and the result was, of course, a great success.

Not only did the Liujiao family not have a tough fight with the Oda family, but the Liujiao father and son directly abandoned the city and fled. In the end, the entire Guanyin Temple City needed Liujiao’s retainer Gamo Kenhide to be kept in the cage—this is the same as the Oda family’s confrontation with Yoshimoto at the beginning. The public is actually somewhat similar.It's just that Saburo led his troops to take Yoshimoto's life with sharp knives, but Rokkaku and his son didn't even have the courage to fight, and fled all the way to Koga, which is the same place as Iga where the strongest ninjas gather.

After capturing Kannonji Castle and surrounding fortresses, the Oda family was finally able to go to Kyoto to attack Miyoshi Sanren and Matsunaga Hideo.

Niwa Chohide was still worried about the Rokkaku family's counterattack, but Rokkaku's confession was too straightforward, and it didn't look like he knew Saburo's arrangement in advance.In contrast to the cowardly Hexagon, those ninjas (time-traveling army) can be called treacherous skills, so Niwa Changhide finally set his sights on the ninjas of Koga and Iga, and secretly paid attention to the ninjas served by these ninjas. Subjects - Hexagon, Hosokawa and Tsutsui.

It's just that those ninjas (knife-fighting) didn't seem to be hostile, so Niwa Chohide just raised his attention in the end, and didn't report such trivial matters to Saburo-of course, even if he reported it, he hasn't seen it so far. Saburo of the time-traveling army will only look at it as a ninja.

At best, I would just sigh one more sentence: "Oh! Did ninjas in the Warring States Period also have flash bombs? That's amazing."

After the Oda Army went to Beijing and took Kyoto's Toji Temple as its base, it took only half a month for the Miyoshi forces to collapse.

Part of the reason is that the puppet general Ashikaga Yoshiei, who was supported by Miyoshi and others, had passed away when the Oda family went to Luo, and could not support a new puppet in a short period of time, resulting in Ashikaga Yoshiaki no matter what aspect he used. Bigger odds.Another part of the reason is that the Miyoshi trio who teamed up to hurt Ashikaga Yoshiki and Matsunaga Hideo confront each other.

Standing on Ashikaga Yoshiaki Shangluo, it ended in an anticlimactic manner... No, it cannot be said to be anticlimactic, but it should have achieved the result that both the Oda family and Ashikaga Yoshiaki wanted without causing much loss——Next There are only procedural follow-ups such as going to the court and sending generals by the emperor.

However, these are the most distressing things for the Oda family.

For people in Kyoto, no matter how famous "Oda Nobunaga" is, he is just a countryman from Owari.Commoners may still admire Oda Nobunaga, but the nobles really disdain them.Even the vassals of the Oda family know that their chief general Oda Nobunaga is young and intelligent, has learned all kinds of etiquette and has excellent grades, but there is no guarantee that since a certain day in 1549, Oda Nobunaga let go of the waves. Do you still remember these levels and etiquette when you grow up?

"Ah, I still have to write a memorial. I don't understand these things."

look!Sure enough, I forgot all about it! !

Don't waste a long time going to Luo, only to be ruined by not knowing etiquette!

In fact, it was Akechi Mitsuhide who had learned a series of etiquette and was the real son of the Oda family. Seeing this, he immediately took on the important task of making up for Saburo's bad manners under the eyes of the rest of his retainers who were on the verge of despair.

But I also want to know, if I don’t like to study so much that I can’t be bothered to read who is the culprit of the Honnoji Change even though I brought the history book, Saburo really hates such boring things.Don't say that you only have to make up for him for one night, even if you give him a month, Saburo may not be able to listen quietly for a day.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures—Thinking of this, Saburo patted Akechi Mitsuhide on the shoulder proudly: "It's decided, I'll let you go to the court tomorrow. It's the same face anyway."

-

Akechi Mitsuhide never expected that he would be able to regain the identity of Oda Nobunaga again, even if it was only for a short day.

When he escaped from Owari, he had already made the decision to give up his identity. Even though the Oda family became more and more powerful, he, who was gentle and intelligent by nature, never thought of regaining his status.Even when he became a retainer of the Oda family as Akechi Mitsuhide, he had clearly made arrangements for his future life, that is, to live with his face covered.

... Then Saburo asked him to replace the Oda family to go to the imperial court with the reason that "the same face should be used well".

The head of the Oda family, this status is worthless in the eyes of that man - when he realized this, Akechi Mitsuhide found that he did not feel frustrated at all.

He asked to become a retainer because of the Oda family and his guilt towards Saburo, but because of his sensitive identity (Maoda Nobunaga), he was already prepared to work harder than other retainers to gain a little trust, but Saburo But he didn't hesitate like him, but expressed enough trust in him early in the morning.

Is it because Saburo has the confidence to deal with him, or is he really such an open-minded person?

Given the name "Oda Nobunaga" that belonged to him, as long as "Oda Nobunaga" ordered to kill "Akechi Mitsuhide" who exchanged identities with him, Saburo might disappear in this world.Could it be that in Saburo's eyes, he, Akechi Mitsuhide, has no ambitions for the Oda family?

While smiling wryly in his heart, while saluting the emperor with perfect etiquette, Akechi Mitsuhide already respected Saburo from the bottom of his heart.

Probably only such a person would bring the Oda family to a height that he could never reach anyway.

-

The imperial court quickly accepted the memorial presented by Akechi Mitsuhide. After rushing back to the foothold, Akechi Mitsuhide asked someone to bring "Akechi Mitsuhide" immediately, and retreated around - it has to be said that when he left, his breasts Brother Ikeda Hengxing's reproachful eyes made Mitsuhide Akechi's back look fuzzy.

When there were only two people left in the huge room, Mitsuhide Akechi and Saburo hurriedly changed back into their clothes, and the face towel was put back on his head, ready to cover his face at any time, and he breathed a sigh of relief from what he had mentioned earlier in the morning.

"I've heard people say that Xiaoguang did a good job today. I'll count on you for the next occasion like this."

"...If I can help you." Akechi Mitsuhide replied with mixed feelings in his heart, "Using my identity today, did you encounter anything?"

"It's nothing special, but the tree in the yard grows just right, so I went to climb it." Saburo said as a matter of course, without the self-consciousness that he should maintain the character design because of his identity, "and then he was seen."

"Is that so?" Akechi Mitsuhide finally understood where Ikeda Hengxing's accusing eyes came from—probably because he thought that "Nobunaga" had ruined "Akechi Mitsuhide" in just one night—and couldn't help but chuckled Aloud, "You don't need to care if you are seen."

"No, but that person looks familiar to me. But I'm getting older, and I don't seem to remember who it is." Saburo said, "Then he asked someone to bring this to me, and asked me to pass it to you--eh , please pass it on to 'Nobunaga'"

"Does anyone want to ask 'me' to send you something?" Akechi Mitsuhide was a little surprised, "But, except Mr. Hosokawa, there should be no one who knows me well."

"It doesn't matter, it's a gift after all."

Saburo didn't care about whether his identity was suspicious or not, such issues that are important to others but insignificant to himself, and opened the gift box with great interest under the gaze of Mitsuhide Akechi.

The gift box is rectangular, made of high-quality wood, and smells like incense.The gift box is also wrapped with precious fabrics, which shows the care and anxiety of the gift giver—if it is not anxiety, then the "country people of Owari" should not be so particular about it.

The lid of the box was easily opened, and the inside was lined with silk cloth.In the dark-painted box, a short knife was lying quietly inside, with a piece of paper pressed underneath.

"Oh, it's actually a knife." Sanlang had already picked up the short knife and pulled it out easily. Looking at the candlelight, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It seems to be very valuable. But who sent it?"

After the short knife was taken away, the unfolded paper underneath was exposed to Akechi Mitsuhide.He quickly looked away, not looking at the letterhead that should have been read by San Lang first, but the inscription and a few scattered words still fell into his eyes.So when Saburo asked the question, he answered politely and respectfully, "It's Shiba Yoshigin."

"I have no impression. It seems that he is not as famous as Oda Nobunaga."

"...Is that so but he is the former daimyo of Owari."

"Ah, because Nobunaga will unify the world, so I didn't take the Owari daimyo seriously." Saburo finally put down his dagger, and looked back at the letterhead in the box, "But why did you send me a letter—ah."

With the sound of metal falling to the ground, Saburo regretfully picked up the broken blade that fell on the ground with two fingers: "The knife is broken."

"Does the Shiba family want to give you such a malicious gift?" Mitsuhide Akechi couldn't help but frowned angrily, because his nature is still mild, even if he was angry, he wasn't too aggressive, but his cold tone was enough to deter , "And I want to give it as a gift through 'my' hand...!"

"Yes. If that's the case, we can only return it." Not as angry as Akechi Mitsuhide, Saburo just lamented the blade itself for a while, then threw the broken knife away, took out the letter paper and read it again, "I see, Shiba Yiyin offered the 'Jinjian' to get my forgiveness—but, did he do anything to apologize to me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide momentarily misfired.

After a long while, he explained to Saburo: "...This is just Shiba Yoshigin showing weakness to you."

Although Owari was soon unified after Saburo became the head of the Oda family, at the beginning, the Oda family could only be regarded as a big landlord in Owari, and in terms of the Oda family alone, there were the main family and the branch family, Oda Nobu The head is the Shu branch of the Oda family.Especially in the early days when Saburo took over his family, too many people supported Nobunaga's younger brother Oda Nobuyuki, including Oda Nobuyuki, the head of the Oda family in Cheongju.

At that time, the power of the Shiba family was beginning to decline, so it was Oda Nobutomo who held the real power in Owari. Nobunaga's father Nobuhide was one of Oda Nobutomo's three subordinates.But when choosing the governor of the Oda family, Nobuhide did not consider Nobuyuki, who was favored by believers, but chose the big fool of Owari.Under the anger of the believers, they made a plan to assassinate Nobunaga——

Then he was informed by Yoshihiko Shiba.

In anger, Shintou killed Shiba Yoshihiro's father, Yoshitomo. Shiba Yoshigin simply took the Shiba clan to seek protection from Nobunaga, and Nobunaga accepted it, and then killed Oda Nobutomo, becoming the leader of the entire family. The governor of the Oda family.Shiba Yoshiyin was also established as Owari's daimyo by him-but just like Ashikaga Yoshiei, the power of Owari was always in the hands of Nobunaga, and Shiba Yoshiyin could only be regarded as a puppet.

Shiba Yoshiyin was not reconciled to this, so he joined forces with the Ishibashi and Kira clans to plot against Nobunaga, but was discovered, and was eventually exiled to Kyoto by Nobunaga.

——But for Saburo, it was just that Shiba Yoshigin seemed to want to leave Owari very much, so he simply sent someone to escort Shiba Yoshiyin to Kyoto, and took over Owari himself.As for whether this was misrepresented as exile, or Shiba Yoshigin himself thought it was exile, Saburo is not sure.

"Siba's family is from the Ashikaga lineage, and it is probably through this that he got in touch with Ashikaga Yoshiaki. But because the position of general was won because of your support, the Shiba family believes that they must ask for your forgiveness before they can be in Ashikaga. I will continue to live with my family." Without detailing Yoshihiro Shiba's sad journey after being kicked out of Owari as a daimyo, Akechi Mitsuhide just summed it up with this sentence.

"Oh, this kind of casual." Saburo, who has always been fascinated by political sensitivity, just said lightly, "Anyway, if the general is bored, he can find anyone to play with. But I don't need the broken knife, let Hengxing Send someone back."

"Yes."

The Shiba family must have been uneasy when the gift was sent back, but since the broken blade was given, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was impossible to just accept it like this and satisfy their wish-it was really uneasy to continue like this. It couldn't be better for them.

Akechi Mitsuhide thought so.

As for wanting to use "Akechi Mitsuhide" who is connected with Ashikaga Yoshiaki, he only needs to go to collect the debt himself.

"That's how it is. Speaking of which, the name 'Jinjian' is also very familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."

"Yes, the present sword is the legendary sword of Yoshitsune. The Shiba family and the Ashikaga clan are both descendants of the Genji in Hanoi, the Minamoto family. Yoshitsune is the grandson of the Minagi, and the Minagi is the Minayoshi family. The grandson of the Shiba family can have a little relationship with the Shiba family, but because the ancestor of the Shiba family is Yoshikuni, the son of Minamoto's family, and Minagi's father is a foster relative, it cannot be considered a close relationship."

"Hey, your relationship is so complicated, thanks to Xiaoguang, you can remember."

"This... because of my weak body, it is difficult to practice combat skills, so I can only read more books." A few words brought back the sadness he once felt, and Akechi Mitsuhide picked up the short blade given by Shiba's family again, and put it away in box.

If it wasn't for the broken sword, the Shiba family's willingness to send the precious relics of Yoshitsune could be regarded as a sincere attitude... Akechi Mitsuhide thought so, and accidentally touched the broken part of the "Ima Sword".

It's not like it's broken due to rust, nor is it tampered with in grinding to deliberately thin a certain part.This short knife seemed to be cut horizontally in the middle by something, the cut edge was rare smooth, and the sharpness of the blade itself could be felt when touching it.It is almost amazing how sharp the thing that cuts this sword will be.

No, the point is that it is absolutely impossible for the sword cut in this way to be stabbed by Saburo together with the short blade at the beginning!

Akechi Mitsuhide's fingertips moved unconsciously, and a layer of skin was immediately scraped off by the blade.The slight pain finally brought him back to consciousness, he quickly picked up the short blade, and carefully inspected the candle.After a while, he said seriously to Saburo who was sitting lazily: "——this is a fake."

"Um"

"It is indeed the appearance of a short sword in the Heian period, but the heart iron and blade metal are new, and it should be imitated by the current swordsmith. "Imajian"."

Just when Akechi Mitsuhide came to such a conclusion, there was a very crisp laughter from the beam, between a boy and a child—"Ahaha, I caught you!"

Following this sentence as if playing a game, several snake bones suddenly fell in front of Saburo and Akechi Mitsuhide!

"What's going on, hasn't everyone been asked to retreat?" Akechi Mitsuhide immediately looked up, only to see a vague gray-white shadow.Because he went to see the emperor today, he did not bring a sword, and because Saburo used the identity of "Akechi Mitsuhide", he temporarily put Sozozuo's writing aside, and did not wear Akechi Mitsuhide's sword, and started to climb the sky all day long. Tree, of course there is no knife at hand now.

Oops, are you going to be powerless to resist?

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the white shadow above with fear.Probably because he noticed this line of sight, or planned to appear in the first place, the person who was originally standing on the beam jumped down. Even though he was stepping on the red single-tooth wooden clogs, he landed firmly on the ground and moved towards the two sides. The individual showed a cheerful smile, and introduced himself confidently: "My name is Jinjian! It is the sword of Yoshitsune's protection! How about it, isn't it very powerful!"

Akechi Mitsuhide: "Children!"

Saburo: "Oh, what an awesome look!"

The two said two sentences with diametrically opposite attitudes again at the same time, Akechi Mitsuhide coughed twice, and asked in Imai's clear eyes: "What do you want to do here?"

Imamu replied calmly: "I was summoned to see that the lord seems to be very busy, so I went directly to chase the 'time travel army' on the beam! But this 'Honmaru' seems to be different from where I should be..."

He looked at Saburo suspiciously: "Why is my lord Lord Nobunaga?"
