Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

"—Then, these people are actually His Highness' spies, ninjas from Koka, aren't they?"

"Yes. As you said."

"Then what is the reason for the cherry-colored hair and willow-colored and dew-grass-colored eyes of 'Zongsan Zuowen'?"

"He was from the Southern Barbarians."

"Then Mr. 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga' is the same?"

"Yes. He is also from the Southern Barbarians."

"You won't tell me that 'Ishikirimaru' who looks like a shrine priest is also from Nanban?"

"They are all spies of His Highness, and their clothes do not represent their identities. Moreover, it is precisely because of their weird looks that they will not be easily seen in front of others. Before today, even you, who are close servants, have never seen them. Passing them is the best proof."

"Then please tell me, Mr. Wise, why the 'Koga Ninjas' in His Highness' hands are composed of such people, either with hair color or eye color, can such people stay by His Highness' side?"

"—It is precisely because of their strange looks, and His Highness's previous experience of selecting retainers without their status, that they came from thousands of miles to join His Highness. The family business that Mr. Xinxiu handed over to His Highness was not enough to recruit spies wantonly. However, in the past two years, there have been spies with strong skills in the Oda family - this is the best proof of the facts I have stated. If it is true, as His Highness said, that you have fought against 'press cut Hasebe', then You must know that it is impossible to cultivate such a person in a day."

After Akechi Mitsuhide said a long series of reasons, Hori Hidemasa's cold and beautiful face finally relaxed a little.

Yes, it is none other than Akechi Mitsuhide who is explaining the origin of Token Fusangshin to Hori Hidemasa.

Knowing and seeing the appearances of Fusangshen who are very different from ordinary people, Akechi Mitsuhide has a little bit of immunity, and he can look at Zongsan Zuowen, who has the strangest appearance among the men with swords and swords, without changing his face-but he also You know, such a look is unreasonable.

It's just that he didn't expect that the day when Sword Fusangshen would appear in front of people came so early.

That's right, Mitsuhide Akechi had long guessed that the swords would appear in front of everyone one day!

Because Saburo is an unknowingly became the master of the sword Fusangshen... Onmyoji!

Onmyoji's shikigami may be strange and strange, but there is no doubt that they all have a support.Akechi Mitsuhide previously thought that Token Fusangshen could only appear by attaching to their bodies, but first of all, the appearance of Zongsan Zuowen and others being able to walk around away from the body of the sword is already different from what he understood.Not to mention the process of Saburo forging the sword - that is without any support, and the sword is forged out of thin air to pay the gods!

Not to mention that these men with swords can't hurt anyone!

Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide had this doubt early on——whether these shikigami (sword men) possessed by Saburo are still in an incomplete posture

It’s just that the answers given by the Tsuchimikado family are confusing. Even the Tsuchimikado family has not produced many people with “spiritual power”. Cut a paper figurine, draw runes on it, and see if it has the ability to materialize Sword Fusangshen.

Then, Akechi Mitsuhide, who was still communicating (deceiving) with his own son, was called by Saburo, and asked him to explain to Hori Hidemasa the origin of these "Koga ninjas".

...In fact, I don't know anything about what happened before, and I'm still guessing that the sword Fusangshen can be seen suddenly. Could it be caused by Saburo cutting a piece of paper and pressing it on the sword man, wise Mitsuhide could only bite the bullet and sit across from Hidemasa Hori, listening to the sharp questions of the young man who always had a smile on his face and did everything calmly.

——Is Token Fusangshen's appearance too strange for ordinary people?

In fact, he was also surprised by Imai's appearance at the beginning. Akechi Mitsuhide admired Hori Hidemasa for maintaining his superficial composure at this time, but on the other hand, he was firm in his original idea—before all preparations were made, these It must not be exposed that people with strange looks are actually swordsmen.

The decision to burn Mount Hiei was more out of military needs.If Mount Hiei is allowed to become a hub to transport supplies and provide assistance to the coalition forces, the Oda family's front will only get longer and longer as time goes by.

Even if the policy of separating soldiers and peasants is implemented, it may be changed due to lack of manpower. Not to mention that the wars caused by conscripting peasants into soldiers for urgent needs must be limited by farming time. Just seeing the repeated orders of the Oda family, I am afraid. The people who hadn't rioted when Enli Temple was burned, instead started a riot because of conscription.

In short, although the act of burning the temple was made, the premise of such an extraordinary premise is a military necessity.Even because of the subtle hostility of the temple itself, Ishiyama Honganji could not sympathize with Hieizan Enryakuji at all, and continued to fight Saburo only because of personal enmity.

But once the news of Saburo possessing monsters such as "Sword Fusangshen" spreads——

That is not the "Buddha's enemy" and "the sixth devil" unilaterally called by the monks, but he will really become the enemy of everyone!

Oda Nobunaga was not the only one who had been at odds with monks, and Oda Nobunaga was not the only one who had burned temples. Even if the methods were rough, this was out of wartime necessity.But the only one who owns monsters is "Oda Nobunaga"!Even in the land under the command of Saburo, for the farmers, daimyo is a decisive person and daimyo is a person wearing a monster, are two completely different concepts.

It is precisely because of this idea that Akechi Mitsuhide called those men with swords and swords "spies" at first, and later evolved into "Kaka ninjas".

Therefore, when Hori Hidemasa asked, although he didn't understand what happened at all, according to his own mind, he said seriously to Hori Hidemasa's eyes that the reason why they looked different from ordinary people was because they all He has Southern barbarian blood.

...Well, there is nothing wrong with this statement...!

Whether for missionary or other reasons, Japan at this time had many foreign visitors, mostly Portuguese, Spanish, and Dutch.Earlier, in Mino and Owari, which were roughly equal to the countryside, such people were relatively rare, but after Saburo clearly expressed his love for iron cannons and allowed missionaries to preach in Kyoto, the number of foreigners visiting Saburo suddenly increased. After getting up, Hidemasa Hori, who is a valet, has naturally seen many of them.

Among those people, there are many blond and red-haired people, and their eyes are also deep and light blue or green, which is quite similar to the strange hair color and eye color of Touken Fusangshin.

Not to mention other things, Izumi Mori Kanesada's black hair and blue eyes are simply the most obvious manifestation of the mixed blood of Nanban and Japan! (not)

In a flash of inspiration, he thought of using Nanban as an excuse. Akechi Mitsuhide had to deal with Hori Hidemasa's interrogation more and more smoothly, and because he couldn't see his face with a veil, even Hori Hidemasa still had doubts about it at this time, so he had to do it with him. He was defeated by his serious and reliable eyes.

——As for the Token Fusangshen who were killed by Nanban, except for Tsurumaru Kuninaga who accepted the setting because it was interesting, everyone else seemed to disagree.

Seeing that Mitsuhide Akechi couldn’t ask anything else, and the words he could get were perfect (it’s just that it’s difficult for people to agree with them at the first time), Hori Hidemasa pursed his lips, his eyes were sharp as he was appointed as a valet by Saburo but failed to do so. Going to the duty of a close servant, he asked his subordinates to point their knives at Saburo's Hasebe, and then he nodded his head to temporarily accept this statement.

He recalled the information he had received from Shibata Katsuya before, and found out that among the people around Saburo, several Koka ninjas had a subtle attitude towards Akechi Mitsuhide, so he didn't intend to shy away from others and let this opportunity go, with the same expression Serious and cold, as if he was still confirming the origin of the Koga ninja, he continued to ask Mitsuhide Akechi: "I don't agree with what Mr. Akechi said."

"I learned before that the Oda family also raised ninjas, and even His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness Nobuyuki had shadow warriors as substitutes."

This kind of cliché was originally not very clever, but because the discussion with Akechi Mitsuhide was about ninjas, such doubts did not seem abrupt.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't notice Hori Hidemasa's cold and stern attitude for a while, and even narrowed his eyes a little funny, and replied calmly: "It's impossible. I don't know where you heard this However, when His Highness just took over the position of Lord Nobuhide, His Highness was only a member of the Oda family. Before becoming the governor of the Oda family, His Highness neither needed nor could have his own shadow warrior."

Saburo ran outside from time to time, so even he knew about the rumored "Owari Idiot", and the usefulness of the shadow fighters was naturally greatly restricted.What's more, Oda Nobuhide is only one of the three obediences of Qingzhou. Even if he has the reputation of "Owari Tiger", he can only be regarded as an inconspicuous figure, let alone a shadow warrior to prevent assassination.

Even Oda Nobuhide was not needed, and Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobuyuki were even more impossible to need at that time.

What's more, although "Oda Nobunaga" became the lord of Furuno Castle at the age of six, before Saburo came, the money he got from the castle was used by him to buy books, and after Saburo came, he was bought by Saburo again. , it is impossible to raise ninjas.

"—Is that so?"

Hori Hidemasa muttered to himself.

This is indeed the same as what he knows—after he went to Shibata Katsuie with the order of Saburo, he also asked Shibata Katsuie with similar questions, wanting to confirm the person who died under the trap of Lord Nobunaga at that time Is it Oda Nobuyuki?

However, Shibata Katsuie said with certainty that Oda Nobuyuki was indeed dead.Because the person who led Oda Nobuyuki out at that time was Shibata Katsuya himself, and even Oda Nobuyuki performed seppuku in front of his eyes, and was mediated by Ikeda Hengxing.

Moreover, as Akechi Mitsuhide said, Oda Nobuyuki does not exist like a shadow warrior... But, as a person who has only been a retainer of the Oda family for a few years, why would Akechi Mitsuhide be so ignorant of what happened decades ago? palm

Even if it's not Oda Nobuyuki, Akechi Mitsuhide must have a deep relationship with Oda!

The computer is finally fixed!
