In the assessment room of Kishiwada Castle Ninomaru, three high-ranking samurai who were entrusted to stay behind looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Obviously, the matter is urgent, but precious time is still being wasted.

Did they make the news of the "Takeda spies causing trouble" public, order martial law for the whole body, and launch a large-scale manhunt operation - including sending people with official orders to recover the fleet?

Or should we first conceal the seriousness of the matter, prevent more people from knowing, use official language to minimize the impact of the prison robbery, and only send a covert department to act secretly?

Both options seem to have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the follow-up reaction is difficult to estimate, but it is better than sitting still.

There has to be a direction, otherwise, you won't know what to say when you see Tamawa Shinbei or something! Although people have always been respectful and obedient, after all, they are still national lords with status and status, how can they command without a suitable reason?

Of course, if the Lord of the Tie Punishment Department himself is here, then there is no need for a reason to be able to give military orders, but other than that, no one can have this authority.

Of course, the three high-ranking samurai who stayed behind in Kishiwada Castle would not fail to understand the truth. It's just that their respective identities are very embarrassing, and if there is no clear person to come out to take the lead, they lack the confidence to speak, and even if they have a decision in their hearts, they feel that they can't speak.

Konishi Yukicho was a young businessman, and although he was highly valued by the sovereign and appointed as an "assistant to the military commissioner", he obviously did not have the ability to convince his colleagues.

Hattori Haruyasu is an old qualified Owari person, and he is also deeply connected, but because of the loss of his arm, he has been "taking a back seat" for more than ten years, and he has no actual authority in theory.

And Ina Tadaji, not to mention, is an extremely good logistics administrator, but he is only a logistics administrator.

In the period after Konishi and Hattori returned from the port, the three of them received news from various sources that the Ataka family's fleet had temporarily canceled their vacation without warning and sailed for the Owari front line ahead of schedule.

Now it seems that this move is obviously full of doubts.

However, it took two or three quarters of an hour to deal with this doubtful issue, and no program could be discussed.

When the troops left, he did not arrange a general position such as "deputy general of the camp", and he did not feel that it was necessary.

As a result, when the matter came, it faced difficulties in the decision-making process.

Eager and bold, Governor Konishi advocated falsely claiming to have obtained the authorization of the lord, summoning all the middle-level cadres who remained behind, and then controlling them all and distinguishing them one by one to prevent the situation from worsening, and at the same time forcibly dismissing all the sailors, and selecting clippers from among them to chase the fleet of the Azuke family.

Ina Tadaji had always been more open-minded and disgusted with intrigue and intrigues, and he did not approve of Konishi's proposal, but instead believed that the basic facts should be made public at this point, so that the public could participate in the capture of the spy. Otherwise, it will make people suspicious and create bigger problems.

Hattori Haruan felt that neither of them was reliable, but he couldn't come up with any plan and couldn't convince them.

The stalemate, Konishi Yukicho was anxious, and ran to Honmaru to find Naota Ii, who was at the right time, in an attempt to win over this well-regarded side lady to open his eyes for himself.

Since giving birth to the child "Umewakamaru", the style of the Ji samurai has been much quieter, and he no longer talks about the revitalization of the family. On this trip, it was Mrs. Inu, who took the initiative to entrust her as an agent to visit the dependents of the retainers to appease people's hearts.

But her thinking hasn't degraded.

After hearing this, Naohu Iii immediately stepped forward and intercepted half of Ina and Konishi's suggestions: "It is indeed necessary to gather all the dignitaries, but they cannot be blatantly controlled, but they must be made public about the prison robbery, and observe the reactions of these people before making a decision." At the same time, it is necessary to produce evidence that the enemy spy did indeed walk by water, and ask Konishiden, in the name of searching, to take command of the fleet. ”

When she said this, the response of all parties was relatively friendly.

Haruan Hattori immediately agreed, and Konishi and Ina could accept it.

In terms of status, she is also suitable to take responsibility for decision-making.

Even if things don't go well later, it is considered that the wrong order was given, and at most Ji Wushi was strictly ordered not to interfere in politics, plus the punishment between the sheets, anyway, she has given birth to a concubine now, and it is impossible to do too much in her career.

And the retainers, once there is such a big political stain, the impact will be far-reaching.

……

An hour after sailing, Ataka Kiyoyasu let out a deep sigh.

When you arrive at Owari, let the group of hot Kanto merchants hurry home, and then find a safe place for Aya to retreat, and then clean up and down the corresponding ship, and the matter will never be found out again.

At this time, Ataka Kiyoyasu had roughly guessed that most of the "Takeda spies" in prison were robbed and had nothing to do with the "suspicious characters" mixed in the smuggling caravan.

This is really a very big deal, and if it is revealed, his favorite concubine Aya, even if he is not immediately executed, will most likely spend several months in the secret prison of Ishikawa Goemon or Tarao Mitsuhiko.

It's no different from death to think about, maybe it's even more terrifying.

Kiyoyasu Ataka can't accept that ending, so he must do his best to erase the traces.

In the words of Aya's uncle, "We were just smugglers selling contraband, and I don't know when, someone hid in a box and got in." ”

But this is clearly not convincing enough. Those who come to investigate will never believe it.

Therefore, this step cannot be checked......

Wait a minute!

Ataka Kiyoyasu suddenly found a blind spot in his thinking.

- Why do I believe so easily if something so suspicious and unconvincing?

The reason is simply that these words came from the mouth of Aya.

Of course she won't lie to me!

The love between me and her is so sincere and passionate, how can there be any fraud between us? This is completely different from the traditional and rotten political marriage of the samurai family, which has no emotional foundation - Ataka Kiyoyasu is very confident in this.

When I thought of this, I even smiled unconsciously.

However, he immediately couldn't laugh.

He suddenly thought of a frightening possibility - Aya certainly wouldn't lie to me, but could her uncle have been lying to her all along?

She is a girl who doesn't understand anything, as weak and pure as a white lotus...... Does she know her uncle's true identity?

In retrospect, the reason that "suspicious people hide in empty boxes" is completely untenable!

Why do you suddenly take the initiative to talk about something suspicious? Why such a clumsy excuse?

Deliberately selling a flaw?

If it is so unreasonable, it must be very consulted!

Maybe the entire Pingshou family is already in the layout of others, and those involved in the period may be affected......

I want to save the Ataku family, and I want to save Aya!

Kiyoyasu Azuku subconsciously felt for a moment, "The Heishou family will let him die, but I need to protect the person who should be protected." ”

He returned to the cabin as soon as possible, found Aya who was aggrieved by the waves, and ordered with a serious expression: "I'm sorry, I need to take care of your uncle and his party immediately, and I will explain the details to you slowly in the future, but now I have to act!" ”

Aya's face was indeed confused and timid.

An Zhai Qingyasu felt a secret pain in his heart, hugged her and said, "In the future...... I promise it won't happen again, but now it's a very special situation, and I have to be cautious. ”

When the words landed, Aya's eyes turned red instantly, and she slowly lowered her head, and was silent for a long time before she muttered: "Concubine...... I just prepared some snacks for you, and you haven't eaten a bite of food since the morning......"

Seeing that Anzhai Qingkang felt pity, he looked down and saw that the woman's hands were trembling, holding a delicate snack box, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he put the business behind him again, reached out and solemnly took the food box, opened it gently, put the warm small steamed bun in his mouth, and chewed it carefully......
