After some careful arrangement, Ataka Nobuyasu and his younger brother Kiyoyasu, under the protection of their cronies, met a mysterious person who delivered the token in a Yakura in Sannomaru, the main castle of the state. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The other party was a thin young samurai, who seemed to be under the age of a weak crown, wearing faded coarse cloth clothes, half wet all over, with a lot of mud on his face, and a few aquatic plants hanging on his straw sandals. His expression was still firm, but the dust up and down, coupled with his childish countenance, highlighted a miserable taste.

However, Antaku Nobuyasu immediately recognized that this was his distant cousin, the grandson of Miyoshi Changyi, whose name was the eldest heir. The great-grandfathers of both sides are twin brothers, and the blood relationship is already relatively distant, but both families hold important positions under the command of Changqing Gong, and they often see each other.

However, this meeting is really unusual.

Anzhai Xinyasu himself already had a little intention of changing the court, but he couldn't break through the little discipline in his heart, so he didn't make a decision immediately. So an ordinary letter from Shinohara's long room made him a soldier.

Miyoshi Changyi was forced to live in seclusion, and his family was theoretically unrestricted, but in recent months, they have been cautious in their words and deeds, and they dare not make any sensitive moves. Now that he suddenly changed his clothes and appeared here, is he going to engage in private tandem?

Nobuyasu Ataka suddenly had a lot of doubts and questions coming up, piling up in his throat and having to send them. But looking at the appearance of his distant cousin, he couldn't bear to be harsh, and finally just sighed and said softly: "Gong Shiro, don't come to harm?" ”

Hearing this, Miyoshi's eyes darkened, he bowed and replied, "Thank you, Brother Shitaro." The eldest heir himself didn't have anything to worry about, but he couldn't sleep and eat day and night when he thought of the situation at home. ”

His answer made Antaku Nobuyasu's face twitch suddenly. Looking at the meaning, it seems that it is really engaged in tandem! The phrase "thinking of the family, it is difficult to sleep and eat" can be understood as sadness due to the decline of the power of the Miyoshi family, and it can also be understood as sadness because his grandfather Changyi lost the right to speak.

If the latter is to be understood, things are complicated.

As a result, Nobuyasu Ataka felt his heart start pounding, but it was not from fear, but from excitement.

He subconsciously, in fact, hoped that the other party was here to persuade him to "get together for a big thing". Because, that proves that some people regard him as a big man who can influence the overall situation. Although that also means danger.

At this moment, Miyoshi's eldest heir spoke: "I haven't seen my grandfather for months, and I don't even know if the old man is well, so I'm really worried about it." ”

Having said this, the meaning is very clear, that is, to engage in tandem and do big things.

What the other party said is not a lie, Shinohara Nagafang is indeed not allowing Miyoshi Changyi to meet guests easily. Therefore, the speculation of the outside world is also different, and a small number of people think that the purpose of Changfang is to kill Changyi.

If this is the case, then Changyi's side will definitely not sit still. At that point, what else can be done? It is impossible not to move the sword.

Antaku Shinyasu almost couldn't sit still, but he still remembered his father's teaching, the more you face big things, the more you must show your composure to outsiders. Otherwise, when the lord panics, the retainers will be chaotic and passed to the lowest level, and it will be completely chaotic. So he tried his best to control the muscles in his limbs and face, lowered his vocal cords, and asked rhetorically with pretended composure: "This is really disturbing. But I remember that after Uncle Changyi lived in seclusion, it was Uncle Changhu who inherited the family business, what did he say about this? ”

"Father can't do anything about it!" Miyoshi's face sank further, and he was already a little crying, "His every move is monitored now, and it is impossible for him to walk freely in the city." And the last time he saw his grandfather was more than a month ago. ”

"This ...... But that's too much. Why don't you find Hikojiro (Miyoshi Nagaji) and Sun Rokuro (Tokawa Depository)? After all, it's all my own family! "An Zhai Shinyasu is knowingly asking. Anyone who is not stupid knows that these two heirs, one is fifteen and the other is fourteen, and no one listens to what they say.

Sure enough, Miyoshi Changji showed an embarrassed look on his face, and he didn't know how to answer, so he muttered for a long time before he said: "Actually, it's not easy for me to meet these two recently!" The door to enter and exit the Honmaru is guarded by people sent by Lord Shinohara, and they don't let people in at all. ”

"That's really not appropriate...... "Nobuyasu Yasuku couldn't help but say something dangerous, not even caring about the warning glance handed over by his brother next to him.

Intellectually, of course he knew that Shinohara Nagafang had deep roots in Shikoku, far from being comparable to two children, and it was definitely dangerous to rashly turn his face with him. But I can't stand it, this kind of feeling of being begged and pointing out the country is really cool!

It can be said that I have never been so happy when I was born!

Among the sons of the three good four brothers, Yixing and Yiji are regarded as the sons of the clan successively, and their status is of course different. In addition, Miyoshi Changzhi's father is the number two person in the family, the commander of the army on the Shikoku side, and he himself is quick to think and can speak, and his sense of presence is second only to the above two. Shihe Cunbao has the strongest martial arts, and he also learns the etiquette and tea ceremony well, and he also has a grandfather who has passed Guan Bai, and he is also valued and loved by the elders.

And the Anzhai Xinkang and Qingkang brothers, their family backgrounds and talents are relatively low, and they can only get together with the descendants of the family and important ministers, so as not to feel inferior. For example, the grandsons of Miyoshi Changyi and Miyoshi Yasunaga, the sons of Matsunaga and Iwanari, and so on.

But what about now?

Yi Ji, as the master, abandoned his retainers and ran to the enemy, relying on this "genius" idea to win half of Hanoi, which was also ridiculed. The decrees of Changzhi and Depository Insurance can't produce this pill at all, and it's no different from two puppets. Only Nobuyasu himself still barely holds the authority of the Awaji Water Army.

Although the grip is not very firm, but it is a good grip, this is the difference between having and not!

So now, people are begging to come to my door!

As soon as he sighed with emotion, the eldest heir of Miyoshi on the opposite side hurriedly climbed up the pole and complimented: "Brother Shitaro (Antaku Nobuyasu)!" Today, you are the only one who can help my grandfather! ”

When the words landed, he bowed down and bowed, his forehead pressed tightly against the ground.

Seeing his distant cousin who was originally of a similar status making such a move, An Zhai Nobuyasu looked frightened and said, "Please get up quickly", but his heart was already fluttering like a feather Dengping, chasing the wind and the moon.

He tried his best to control himself, and instead of showing a smug expression, he immediately stepped forward to help him up, saying that he deserved such a big gift.

But—

Although Antaku Shinyasu is a little immature and a little second-class, he is not stupid.

He also knew in his heart that the political influence of Miyoshi Nagayi and Shinohara Nagabo was far higher than his own, and their open and secret struggles involved the interests of many people behind them.

So I pushed it off, and in the end I could only shake my head regretfully and said: "Since Yan Erlang (Miyoshi Nagaji) and Sun Liulang (Shihe Depository) have no choice, I can't do anything about it, I'm afraid I can't solve your worries." At the most...... I personally went to Katsurui Castle, and Lord Shinohara-sama would always sell face and let me meet Uncle Changyi and mediate from it. ”

His regret is not feigned, although not for the other party, but for himself.

When the words landed, the onlookers were relieved.

And Miyoshi's eldest heir didn't look disappointed, but nodded, and then continued: "Brother Shitaro, I am very grateful that you can help me with this!" Actually, I also know that things are really difficult, and if there is no help from outsiders, my grandfather's situation will not improve......"

This understatement made Antaku Nobuyasu's mood suddenly change sharply, and he couldn't help but shudder. And his younger brother Qingkang was even more dumbfounded.

Outsiders helping?

"Outsiders"?

What outsiders?

Could it be the Oda family?

Looking at the meaning of this, it is not only necessary to engage in tandem, but also to engage in collaboration with the enemy!

Anzhai Xinyasu has long had the idea of collaborating with the enemy, but he can't get over it on his conscience, so he didn't put it into practice, he has a ghost in his heart, so he can't see others say this kind of thing, and when he saw this, he immediately changed his face, tried his best to make a righteous and strict gesture, expressing an attitude of no dissent, and said solemnly: "How can we involve outsiders in the internal affairs of our Sanhao family?" Don't mention that again! ”

Those letters from Hite, he only told his younger brother Kiyoyasu, and vaguely revealed two sentences to the most reliable Funakoshi Keizhi, but other than that, he didn't even know about his family's diehards. The messenger who haunts as an "old friend" is a little suspicious, but it is not enough to make people think about it.

This distant cousin in front of him, although he is a relative, although he speaks very well, he cannot be trusted for the time being.

For his reaction, Miyoshi Changji was a little stunned at first, then straightened his waist, looked up and down for a while, sneered at the corner of his mouth, snorted, and said, "Is it inside the Miyoshi family?" Excuse me, what exactly is Miyoshi's house? ”

"What else could it be......" Nobuyasu was a little puzzled by the other party's emotional changes, but subconsciously replied.

But the eldest heir of Miyoshi jumped up, and said angrily in a deep voice: "The Miyoshi family, of course, is the first to recommend the Miyoshi family, followed by the Awa family, and then the Sanuki Shihe and Awaji Residence, although they have gone out, they are still regarded as one body, and a little farther away, a distant branch like me can also be said to be a person from the Miyoshi family." However, a guy surnamed Shinohara can't be called the spokesperson of the Miyoshi family in any way! This is not my own nonsense, but the opinion of Changzhi and DPS. ”

The two brothers, Anzhai Xinkang and Qingkang, glanced at each other, and they were both shocked and speechless.
