"What...... What the...... Mother-sama! You...... You...... You contacted ...... on my behalf Contacted Katsuyori Takeda? Tokugawa Nobuyasu felt that he could no longer control his body normally, not only did he fall to the ground, but he also couldn't speak, and the expression on his face was not known, "Call me over...... Come and say there is something private and important...... That's it? ”

It can't be blamed for his lack of calmness, this kind of rebellious thing is indeed not something that a fourteen-and-a-half-year-old child can afford.

Zhushan Hall smiled faintly, calmly reached out to pull his son up, gently stroked his face, and comforted: "It's just a contact, not surrendering to them...... It was common knowledge in the Warring States period that there was a fierce battle in front of the front, but there was communication in secret...... If you don't believe it, Ishikawa-sama, he knows about it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tokugawa Nobuyasu noticed that behind his mother, there was still his teacher Ishikawa Shumasa.

His mood calmed down a lot at once: "Really? Not only my mother, but also Ishikawa-sama knew about it...... Looks like there's something else going on in there, it's not what I thought it was......"

Obviously, the fourteen-year-old second generation does not agree with the mother's judgment very much, but trusts the teacher's wisdom more.

For people of this age, a similar mindset is not abnormal.

It's just that it is a little ...... to reveal the likes and dislikes in your heart so easily.

Fortunately, the temple does not bother with its own children.

She just smiled, reached out and quietly grabbed the corner of the middle-aged man beside her, and glanced sideways to signal the other party to open up.

The moment he was touched by the "master mother", Ishikawa Shumasa's body suddenly tightened, and a subtle expression involuntarily appeared on his face, but he immediately lowered his head and pretended to cough to hide his emotions and eliminate them invisibly.

At least, Tokugawa Nobuyasu, who has always been arrogant, can't see it, and that's enough.

Then Ishikawa Shumasa bowed down and said, "Young master, please carefully recall the secret letter sent by the lord a few days ago...... Have you seen the implication now? ”

Hearing this, Tokugawa Nobuyasu was completely at a loss: "Is there a hidden meaning in my father's secret letter?" Didn't you say that you want to plan a joint battle in Yuanjiang and let me take the camera to deal with him......"

Seeing this, Ishikawa Shumasa sighed lightly and continued to explain, "The main content of the letter is indeed true. But in the last paragraph, the lord revealed that as long as I prove the ability of the Tokugawa family through battle, I can consider negotiating with the Takeda family. Therefore, in fact, what the lady did was allowed by the lord. ”

"Is that so?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was once again shocked.

But he recalled the words he saw that day, and after thinking about it carefully for a long time, he felt that what the teacher said seemed to be quite right. There are indeed some subtle hints in the Father's words.

Completely different from his father, Tokugawa Nobuyasu was not a man with a castle government, so he quickly accepted this statement at the moment, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I see! Luckily, Ishikawa-sama and my mother helped me, otherwise I wouldn't have realized it! If something bad happens because of this, that's a big bad thing. ”

"Exactly!" Ishikawa was righteous, as if he was confident, but his head unconsciously lowered again: "Whether it is Oda in the past or Takeda now, it is not something that Tokugawa can resist alone, and it is not a shame to be in the troubled times of the Warring States period, and it is not a shame to temporarily bow to the strong." But you must first show your value, even if you are a dog and a horse to be driven, you must strive to become the most vicious fighting dog and the fastest horse, this is my family's way of survival! ”

"Only the most ferocious fighting dogs and the fastest horses can be strengthened by the best fodder from their masters, so that they can protect themselves if the situation changes." Tokugawa Nobuyasu had heard this many times, so he subconsciously said the second half fluently.

As a fourteen-year-old second-generation eye, he can reluctantly accept this logic with self-contempt and self-deprecation. However, when he said it, he was still full of humiliation and resentment.

Born as a human being, who in the world is willing to be a dog or horse?

Tokugawa Ieyasu, Sakai Tadaji, and Ishikawa Shumasa spent their lives in precariousness, trembling, and dancing on the tip of a knife, so they were middle-aged people who were able to fully understand the relationship between "dignity" and "survival."

Nobuyasu was different, when he knew how to read, the Tokugawa clan had already gained a lot of benefits and glory as "Oda Nobunaga's close comrade-in-arms", and his situation had greatly improved.

Therefore, when this self-respecting teenager repeated the words taught by his teacher, his eyes widened, his face flushed, and his lip was clenched.

Of course, this can't escape the detection of Tsukiyamaden and Ishikawa Shumasa.

But...... The former only has pampering in his eyes, and he only sees it, and the latter is so preoccupied that he has no time to take care of it.

Although Tokugawa Nobuyasu couldn't see that Ishikawa Shumasa had something on his mind at all.

Is the former not sharp enough, or is the latter too old-fashioned?

Perhaps the answer should be – both.

"But ......," Tokugawa Nobuyasu got angry, and immediately found that there was still a little bit of confusion, "What does this have to do with taking the initiative to contact Takeda Katsuyori?" ”

Tsukiyamaden smiled, she didn't answer, but once again motioned for Ishikawa to speak.

This time, she not only pulled the corner of the other party's clothes, but out of the child's sight, stretched out her arm and quietly touched the middle-aged man's shirt from behind, and twisted it lightly on her waist.

There is no lack of flirtatation.

Ishikawa Shumasa's body suddenly straightened, and then his face twitched, his eyes did not squint, and he said with full attention: "Young master, the appeal of our Tokugawa family is to prove its strength in a frontal war, and it is best to defeat the famous general of the Takeda family." For example, outside of Okazaki Castle at present, there is Yamayama Masaki in the west and Takasaka Masanobu in the east, which is enough to be a stepping stone for you to become famous. ”

"Hah!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu fantasized about the scenery after defeating Yamaguchi, Takasaka and others, and couldn't help but perk up, but immediately reacted: "This makes even more sense, will Takeda Katsuyori help us?" He's the heir to the Takeda family......"

......Seeing this, Ishikawa Shumasa's face was slightly disappointed, but he still patiently explained: "But within the Takeda family, there are many people who don't want to see him become the heir. Because he was not a son-in-law, and he was once passed on to Shinano's Suwa family......"

"Oh...... Oh! So that's it! Tokugawa Nobuyasu still didn't think much of it, and easily accepted this message: "In this way, it is true that Takeda Katsuyori has the motive to help us, and we will help him attack Yama Prefecture and Takasaka, and in return, he can give him some preferential treatment when negotiating peace...... It's really worthy of Lord Ishikawa, in such a dangerous situation, you can still see a way to break the game! ”

"No......" Ishikawa shook his head violently for some reason, "It's not me, it's a ploy planned by Madame. ”

"Is it Mother?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was a little reluctant to believe it, and turned his gaze to Tsukiyamaden in surprise, "You...... You're amazing! By the way, although we have the possibility of helping each other, we are still on the battlefield after all, so how can we trust each other? ”

"Don't worry, child......" Tsukiyamaden's face flashed with kindness, and he patted his son on the shoulder with a smile, "I got in touch through a monk from Suruga, who is very famous and related to the Takeda clan, and can count when he speaks. ”

"That'...... Mother ......" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was slightly embarrassed, quietly shrunk his shoulders, got rid of his mother's hand, and asked, "Such a person should be able to contact the high-level of the Takeda family...... How did you get to know and get him to do things for us? ”

"Well...... a smile appeared at the corner of Tsukuyamaden's mouth, "When I went to the temple to worship, I talked to that master about Buddhism, and I hit it off at first sight...... Son, don't worry, this person is absolutely reliable! ”

"That's great!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu was already full of confidence and eager to try, "I'm going to confirm the situation of each reserve team, so that they can be ready to counterattack at any time!" Once that happens, the sooner you act, the better! Mother-sama, Ishikawa-sama, goodbye! ”

As he spoke, the impatient boy had already run away without touching the ground.

In fact, Tokugawa Nobuyasu's personality has always preferred to contact grassroots officers and even non-commissioned officers rather than discussing important matters with important ministers. Being able to harvest the hearts of the military is a rare advantage for him.

Seeing the young man walking away, Ishikawa Shumasa no longer concealed it, and a mixture of anger, worry, and shame appeared on his face, and he viciously reprimanded the woman beside him: "I said a long time ago that if you do this, it will cause the Tokugawa family to split into two factions!" Although the majesty of the lord has been greatly hit, the young lord has not seen any benefit! ”

"Hmph......" Tsukiyamaden didn't care at all, and glanced at it disdainfully, "That guy from Takechiyo (Tokugawa Ieyasu), I want him to be good-looking!" As for my son, I have my own arrangements, will I still harm him? ”

"You wicked woman! I actually want to collude with outsiders to harm my husband! Ishikawa is gritting his teeth.

"He killed all my relatives first! And in Hamamatsu Castle, there are dozens of side rooms, and they send me here to ignore it! "The temple is also a rivalry.

But when she looked sideways at the middle-aged man, she suddenly sneered again, and her resentment turned into bewitchment: "Oh, Lord Ishikawa...... Why talk about irrelevant people? Our happiness, but you have forgotten it? ”

It is said that this woman is thirty-three or fourteen years old, and her youthful vitality has long since left her. After wearing a plain robe and a turban veil, most of the feminine features were obscured.

But Ishikawa Shumasa knew very well that under the thick clothes, the body full of mature charm and the evil and debauched soul could still give men the supreme ecstasy bliss.

"That's when I was drugged by you! And you deliberately put on makeup as an ordinary maid! ”

Ishikawa Shumasa was extremely resentful and angry, but a part of his body reacted involuntarily, and his right hand also subconsciously grabbed the woman's chest.

Yet still cursing, "You wicked woman! Did you get that medicine from a Takeda female ninja? Even I was tricked! ”

"Hehe, anyway, now it's you who have possessed someone else's wife, and it's the housewife in the name of the Tokugawa family! I don't know which man can endure this humiliation? What do you think Chiyo Takeshi (Tokugawa Ieyasu) will do when he learns about this? Will it be because I'm just an unfavored yellow-faced woman that I simply forgive you, an old minister? ”

Tsukiyamaden stretched out his lips and bit Ishikawa's ears.

She had a smile on her face, but her mouth was full of vicious words.

"You...... You bribed the monk who had access to the Takeda family, did you use this too?! ”

"Hahahaha............ You, Ishikawa-sama, are so wise that you can't guess for yourself? ”

"You...... You deserve death! ”

"Hehe......"
