This is the victorious country, and even the people do not care about the reaction of others. Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu, who was at the forefront, heard these contemptuous whispers and kept scolding: "Get out of the way!" Move! ”

Although Honda Heihachiro was only sixteen years old, he was dignified and majestic. From time to time, he waved the large naginata knife in his hand, which was more than three feet long. "Get out of the way! Mikawa Kira Yoshian is here, who dares to be rude, I will cut off his head with a knife! ”

Ngee An did not reprimand, nor did he stop Zhongsheng. He calmly looked out at Mt. Atago outside the castle and stopped in front of the Honmachi Gate.

"I am Kigara Yoshiyasu's retainer Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu. If there is any rudeness, it will be killed. Even in front of Yiyi, Heihachiro still spoke like a bell, and waved his big naginata.

Yiyi replied with a smile: "It's been hard all the way. With me here, you can rest assured. ”

"How can I rest assured, I've heard that Owari has the most foxes." Heihachiro wanted people to understand his firm determination: if anyone dared to attack Ngee An, he would kill him. Yiyi knew of course, so when Ngee An got off the horse, he bowed his head respectfully.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They felt that the Oda clan had been too cautious about the team that had come to Shun.

When they entered the castle and arrived near the Kamitomi Shinmeiji Shrine, important ministers such as Hayashi Sado, Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, and Sugatani Kuro Uemon were already lined up to greet them. This kind of treatment is extremely satisfying even for the people of Mikawa.

When I arrived at Erdao Castle, which was scheduled to be the place where Nghe An was staying, Nobunaga was already standing in front of the gate. As soon as he saw Ngee An, he exclaimed, "Oh, it's finally here." His voice was no longer violent and impatient, as if welcoming the guest he had been waiting for for so long.

Ngee An gave a courtesy. For him, stepping on the door of people has already taken his life as a gamble. If this matter had reached Sunfu, then the despicable clan might have killed Senahime and Chiyo Take. Thinking of this, even if Ngee An wanted to laugh, he couldn't laugh.

Nobunaga's sincere kindness warmed the hearts of the people of Mikawa. But is this Nobunaga's sincerity? Owari and Mikawa have been enemies for generations! This proud general, who had taken the head of Yiyuan in Tian Lewa, actually took Yi'an's hand with red eyes and welcomed him in.

Don't be careless, he may have done this on purpose, so that the people of Okazaki could let their guard down, and maybe they were secretly preparing to destroy Okazaki. These things have long been common in history. It was already strange in itself that Nobunaga the victor took the initiative to send an envoy to Okazaki Castle to ask for an alliance in the eyes of the people of Mikawa, who did not believe that Nobunaga would treat them as equals today. They held their heads high, but to dilute as much as possible the humiliation of being converts.

When they entered the academy of Nido Castle, Takigawa Kazuki said, "This is the place to stay, so you can rest here with confidence." ”

As early as before everyone set off, Torii Mototada reminded everyone: "Don't be careless, those foxes want to paralyze us." ”

"Just calculate. I will never leave the city lord for half a step. Even if adults face to face with them, I will never let go of the big naginata in my hand. Honda Heihachiro said.

"You can't bring it in. When the time comes, I'll ask you to hand over the knife......" Hiraiwa Jinkichi clasped his hands to his chest and frowned worriedly.

Ngee Ann has sat down at the top of the College. He asked his entourage to open the windows a little and gaze out at the tall corner towers that stood by the Gojo River.

Ngiyaan wasn't afraid of Nobunaga, but the dark clouds of the winter sky in the afternoon cast a shadow on his heart. Whether Nobunaga had any tricks up his sleeve is no longer a question. Whether or not Nobunaga trusts him or not, Ngiyaan did this for the sake of Okazaki Castle's long-term plan and for the peace and tranquility of the three Kaido countries. But how can you make Shi Zhen understand his true meaning? Did he not make an effort to get his true understanding? All kinds of introspection constantly pricked Ngee An's heart.

"In order to realize his ambitions, Kira Yoshian disregarded the life and death of his wife and children!" It wouldn't be good to be so insulted by the world

Today, he was able to meet and form an alliance with Nobunaga smoothly, and the efforts of Motoyasu's mother were also well understood. Motoyasu's mother's efforts to influence Mizuno Nobumoto and Kumatsu Sado were nothing more than to create a harmonious atmosphere between the Kira and Oda families. The cruel scene of Shi Zhen nailing people to death and then hanging them up for public display resurfaced in front of Ngee An's eyes.

"Leave everything to me. Young baby don't talk much, leave everything to me! At this moment, the voice of Shinrokuro Uemura reprimanding his grandson Heihachiro Honda came from the next room.

"How can we not be by the side of the lord?" Heihachiro thought it was extremely ridiculous and showed no mercy to his grandfather, Shinrokuro Uemura.

"We're just waiting here, what if something happens?"

"When we will call you with a loud voice, how can we all follow the lord? That would disgrace the lord's reputation, and he would be ridiculed as a coward. Shinrokuro Uemura said.

Nghe An was about to prick up his ears and listen carefully when his messenger arrived. "Oda Owari Nobu-sama is waiting in the main hall of the castle. Please come with me. ”

"Good work." Ngee An stood up and straightened his shirt. Shinrokuro Uemura held his sword and immediately stood up. Nghe An smiled at the restless entourage and said, "Don't worry. I went. With that, he took Shinrokuro with him. Nobunaga probably won't make any more harsh conditions, but as long as it can be avoided, Ngiyasu doesn't want to provoke the clan of Sunfu.

When Ngiyaan led Shinrokuro to the city, a samurai shouted from afar, "Those with swords stand down." ”

He blocked Shinrokuro. Ngee An deliberately did not look back. As if he hadn't heard, Shinrokuro followed Ngiyaan with his head held high. Someone else shouted: "Don't be rude in front of your lord!" ”

As they were about to enter the hall, the Oda Shigetomi, who were standing side by side, turned their heads to the two ministers. "According to Qingzhou's rules, you can't bring a knife to the lord. Go to the knife, stand down! ”

"No!" Shinrokuro suddenly replied sharply, "The famous Uemura Shinrokuro clan of the Kira clan is righteous, holding the sword of the lord and following the lord, what's wrong?" ”

"Shut up!" Oda Sake Brewer, who was sitting at the top, shouted, "This is not Okazaki, this is Kiyosu Castle!" ”

"No matter who you are in the city, even on the battlefield. Wherever Kira Yoshiyasu goes, he must be accompanied by guards with swords. Why are you so afraid of those who carry knives? As long as I have a breath left, I will never leave my lord half a step. ”

Ngiyasu stood silently, and the sake brewer was about to get up, but Nobunaga, who was sitting in the front, stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Is it Mikawa's veteran Uemura?"

"Yes." Ngee An replied.

"Uemura's courage is well known to the world. True blue. It's okay, let him come in. Nobunaga said.
