The Seto Inland Sea at night presents a different atmosphere than during the day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoMicrowave sparkling, moonlight flowing, sky, water and distant coast blend together, you can't see clearly, there seems to be there or not. In the chaos, only a round of jade plates hung overhead, accompanied by the pedestrians on the boat. This scenery is in line with the most exquisite meaning of loneliness, quietness and elegance in Fuso culture.

Nobuyasu learned the art of tea and the way of waka from his father, and Iwasari Yutong stationed in the mountain castle was also deeply influenced by the literati of the Gongqing. However, the scene of the meeting between the two is sitting upright, as if facing a great enemy, which is incompatible with the night scene near the sea.

Both sides were silent and looked at each other, creating an eerie atmosphere of tranquility.

In particular, Nobuyasu Ataka showed a look of anger, sadness, and self-blame, staring at each other without blinking. And in order not to fall into the momentum, Iwanari Yutong can only express the same strength and meet it without hesitation.

It stands to reason that Iwanari Friends should politely say something like "It is a blessing for everyone that you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and adapted to the current situation, which is really a wise man's move, and has also saved your land from war."

Or Nobuyasu Ataka took the initiative to say: "In the past, for various reasons, I had to meet each other with swords, and from now on I will loyally serve Oda-sama Danmasa" or something, which is also a common way.

But the relationship between these two people is really a bit awkward, and they have very little experience in doing this kind of work, so they don't know how to speak for a while.

Sitting next to him were Yumitsu Numata, who accompanied Iwasari as a messenger, and Miyoshi Nagatsu, who made Ataka Nobuyasu make up his mind. Numata observed his words and did not rush to break the tranquility. But the young Miyoshi eldest heir couldn't bear it anymore, and reached out and gently touched Antaku Nobuyasu's back to urge.

Nobuyasu Yasuku came back to his senses and suddenly raised his head, wanting to say the preset lines. But when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't read them, hesitated for a moment, and just said in a muffled voice: "I haven't seen you for many years, Lord Yancheng seems to be more stylish, it seems that after changing the court, he is very proud." ”

This is clearly a sarcasm. Because everyone knows that Iwanari Yutong was not reused after he defected to Oda, although few people know why.

Anzhai Nobuyasu also wanted to defect, but it was only after seeing the signatures of Miyoshi Changzhi and Shihe Depository that he made up his mind and attached his name to him, not because of selfishness. This is different from some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who are defeated and surrender to the enemy. So after seeing the person in front of me, I always feel that I can't help but be sarcastic, and my conscience is a little better.

Yan Cheng Youtong's expression did not change, he was not moved by the words of the junior, and calmly shot back: "It can't be called 'many years', the last time the two of us met was a year and three months ago." However, in such a short period of time, your complexion has deteriorated a lot, and it seems that you are not having a comfortable time on Awaji Island. ”

This trick is mainly anti-customer, which makes Anzhai Nobuyasu's face difficult to look at. He snorted lightly, tilted his head slightly, and showed a defiant attitude, not saying a word.

Iwanari Yutong still did not give up, and slowly added, "Although the contemptible people know very little about the affairs of the Awaji Water Army, your presence here today is enough to prove that you are dissatisfied with the rulers of Awakatsurui Castle. In addition, if you choose to make contact secretly at night, it means that there are some people in the Awaji Navy who do not obey you. These two points are the reason why you and I are meeting here. If it doesn't matter what matters, and if it doesn't affect the final outcome, I can sit here and let you scold for three days and three nights. ”

This remark was not polite at all, and it could even be described as aggressive. But it was right against Anzhai Nobuyasu's temperament, which made him wake up suddenly.

Obviously he was reprimanded, but Ataka Nobuyasu's posture lowered slightly, he stopped the unnecessary emotional fluctuations in his chest, bowed down, tried to control his tone, and whispered: "I was entrusted by Awa Mamoru (Miyoshi Nagaji) and Sanuki Mamoru (Tokawa Depository) of the Miyoshi family to ask for help from Lord Gongkata and Oda Danmasa. If we can get reinforcements to help us defeat the unauthorized Shinohara-Nagabo, the Miyoshi family is willing to hand over the person responsible for the murder of the previous Gongfang, and present hostages to the current Gongfang as a sign of loyalty. ”

His description is indeed more informative than the concise and concise pleading. But there are still many ambiguities, such as who is responsible for the murder of the previous generation of the public party? Will it just be a temporary scapegoat? Or who was the hostage? Could it be just a low-status low-status kid?

But Iwanari didn't take any of that into account. The details can be discussed slowly in the future, and the first thing he needs to determine is the general direction, so he questioned: "You mentioned Awa Mamoru (Miyoshi Choji) and Sanuki Mamoru (Tokawa Depository), but I didn't see these two people. ”

Nobuyasu Ataka turned sideways, pointed to a person beside him, and introduced: "This is the eldest heir of Miyoshi, the grandson of Hinata Mamoru (Miyoshi Nagayi), and the letter signed by the two highnesses was brought by this person from Shikoku. ”

As he spoke, Miyoshi Nagaji took half a step forward, bowed down, sat down side by side with Ataka Nobuyasu, and explained: "The ancestor of the family is already in seclusion, and the two highnesses Awa Mamoru (Miyoshi Nagaji) and Sanuki Mamoru (Tokawa Depository) are also controlled by Shinohara Nagabo, and it took me several months to get in touch with the two highnesses and sign the pleadings together. ”

Iwanari Tomoto looked at the immature face of Miyoshi's eldest heir, and was slightly stunned. As one of the three people, he knows the old boss of Sanhao Changyi very well, and he has also dealt with his son Changhu a lot, but he doesn't know that Changyi also has a young grandson.

Thinking of the past and current situation of the three people, I can't help but feel emotional. But the emotion lasted only a moment.

Because Iwanari Youtong found a trace of suspicion from the other party's narration, he asked: "Excuse me, do the two highnesses of the Miyoshi family you mentioned live in the same place?" ”

Miyoshi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the question, but he still replied in a matter-of-fact manner, "Not really." Awa Mamoru (Miyoshi Choji) is in Katsurui Castle, and Sanuki Mamoru (Tokawa Storage) is in Toramaru Castle. ”

Iwanari Tomoto pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The two cities are separated by at least 350 towns (about 38 kilometers), and it is really rare that two highnesses can actually sign their names on the same piece of paper. ”

These words made Antaku Nobuyasu frown and fall into deep thought.

And the young Miyoshi eldest heir didn't notice it, just nodded, and added: "This matter was mainly done by my father and several subordinates, and it was really laborious. Even I haven't seen the two Highnesses for months. ”

"Hmm......" Iwacheng Youtong stroked his beard, a subtle light flashed in his eyes, and he diverted the topic: "I have understood your sincerity." Although Lord Ataka greets Oda Danmasa directly, the matter will still be handled by Heite-sama. ”

The corners of Antaku Nobuyasu's mouth twitched, and he explained with a little weakness: "It is true that I sent someone to greet Oda Danmasa with the help of the Kaimachi merchants, but there was no attempt to bypass the Heite prison. ”

Of course, there were attempts, but I didn't expect Nobunaga's attention to Omi, Ise and Echizen, and he didn't pay much attention to the Miyoshi remnants of Shikoku, so he didn't bother to deal with it personally. Therefore, after Ataka Nobuyasu finally made up his mind, he could only rely on Hiteshu through Numata Yumitsu.

"It makes no difference whether there is or not." Iwasei Youtong shook his head, showing that he didn't care about this, "It's just that how you arranged the march on the road, please tell me in detail." ”

Miyoshi Nagaji hurriedly replied, "You can't get around Awaji when you go to Shikoku, but the Awaji Navy has a complicated heart, and there may be many people who have fallen to Shinohara Nagabo and need to be cleared." Only then can you land in Shikoku to plan for the future. Therefore, I suggest that you lead your army into Awaji overnight, and then block the access to the island with Lord Atakaku, and then distinguish the noble clans one by one, and exterminate the untrustworthy. Then Shinohara, Nagabo, will definitely be attracted and personally lead troops to garrison the Naruto Strait, and we can ......"

Yan Chengyoutong listened quietly to the words of this immature young man, his expression was as usual, but many questions had arisen in his heart.

It's just that before he could express it, Anzhai Xinkang over there spoke first:

"This is not advisable. I can't attack my colleagues in the Awaji Navy without telling them. ”

When he spoke, his expression was resolute, showing an unquestionable taste.

Miyoshi's eldest heir was interrupted by him and was at a loss for a moment.

Instead, Iwanari Yutong asked tentatively: "Then what do you mean ......by Lord Atakaku?"

Antaku Nobuyasu said: "The contemptible people will hide the matter of Awa Mamoru (Miyoshi Nagaji) and Sanuki Mamoru (Tokawa Depository), and only declare that it is I who wants to change my position." Tomorrow, I will order the leaders of the Awaji Navy to gather in the main city of the state, and then ask them about their will. If someone is unwilling to follow, let him lead the troops and leave on his own, and then meet again, so that he can fight with a clear conscience. Only in this way can I be worthy of my father who handed over the Awaji Navy to me. ”

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people present were dumbfounded and speechless, staring at Antaku Shinyasu's gaze as if they had seen a mountain spirit and a ghost.

Iwanari Yutong had long known that the reason why Hisei sent him here was because he had doubts and wanted to test it.

He himself has no complaints about this, because he let go of Miyoshi Masakang last time, and he has already returned half of the kindness of the Miyoshi family, but he is a little sorry for the tie in his heart. What's more, risks and opportunities coexist, and only by taking on the most dangerous tasks can you have the opportunity to obtain the most generous returns.

Now that the momentum of the three good things is irreversible, it is time to think about yourself and future generations.

So along the way, Iwacheng Youtong gathered the central spirit, and with a sophisticated eye, he picked out several points worth paying attention to, and he became more and more vigilant in his heart.

But Antaku Nobuyasu's words were too unusual, so he didn't know whether to be suspicious.
