Chapter Forty-Seven: Seeing Each Other and Not Knowing Each Other
Since the autonomy of "guarding the inaccessibility" has been obtained, the matter of the Kaimachi has been decided by the "Huimin" composed of wealthy merchants. Among www.biquge.info the people who are now in the house, Imai Munehisa has taken refuge in the Oda family, and even nominally received a piece of Zhixing and became an official retainer included in the volume. Tsuda and Senshoyi are also actively operating similar procedures.
But there are people with diametrically opposed positions. It is said that Ikenaga Heihisa of "Notokaya" and Red House Muneyo of "Rouge House" were extremely dissatisfied with Nobunaga's strong attitude.
Although there are also expressions such as "pen head" or "chief" in the Huizhong, each of them is equal in theory, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior, and when it comes to seniority, Ikenaga and Red House are the elders of the Kai Town. Therefore, as long as the anti-Oda action is not made public, Imai and others can only sit back and watch, unable to exert pressure.
But in turn, it makes the goal very clear. Following the line of Sungoro Matsuura's source of funds, the relevant people quickly rushed to Kaimachi.
It's a pity that no matter whether it's a powerful person such as Ishikawa Goemon, or a local Matsuyama Shigeharu in Kaimachi, or Dr. Yasuda Terada who has followed Matsuura for many years, a group of people have searched and analyzed for a long time, but they can't find any traces of this guy's collusion with wealthy businessmen.
If there were 1,000 people present, the access routes were immediately blocked, the suspects were isolated, the accounts were thoroughly checked, and the ground was dug three feet into the ground, then things would definitely be found, but this was not realistic. Not to mention the blow to the economy, the movement caused by the mobilization of troops is enough for the other side to destroy the relevant evidence a hundred times.
If it goes on like this, it will only solve the people of the country, and it will not be able to knock the money owner behind it, and the plan of the tie show is obviously not complete. And everyone present was anxious to "put things right", and the people sent by the "equal-handed supervisor" boasted about Haikou. Now that the credit has been greatly reduced, how can you not be in a hurry.
In this temporary stronghold, Matsuyama Shigeharu sat cross-legged without saying a word, closing his eyes in contemplation, Ishikawa Goemon's eyebrows were tightly locked, one foot was already on the table, and the most reactive Xiangxi Naganobu was walking around with a scabbard in his hand, scolding and scolding in his mouth, and his face was even more hideous, looking like he was choosing someone to devour. Dr. Terada Yasudai was relatively calm, but he just hugged the head of Sungoro Matsuura tightly, and he couldn't relax.
The sky has just dawned, everyone has not slept all night, but the most critical step has not been completed, everyone is anxious, how can there be a little sleepiness.
At this time, Iwasari Yutong, who had been frowning expressionlessly, took action. did not notify everyone, only Hattori Hideyasu led dozens of ninja soldiers in disguise and silently followed behind.
Iwanari didn't trace the source of the gold coins, and he had little interest in the captured Chinese people, and he didn't do anything like asking about portraits along the street. He was just like returning to the back garden of his own house, as if he knew the other side very well, and walked without hesitation along the definite route, slowly but resolutely.
First he walked to a small street selling seafood, looked at the shops on both sides that had not yet opened, waited for a moment, said, "Not here", and left immediately.
This is followed by several small adjacent temples. Iwanari Youtong searched for a while, removed a stone slab, glanced inside along the inconspicuous gap between the courtyard walls, and then shook his head.
He went down two more places, but there was still no result. But Hattori Hideyasu, who was following behind, was already a little surprised. These three good families have been in for many years, and they have built so many spare hidden bases in Kaimachi.
It wasn't until the fifth position that Iwasari finally stopped.
It was a narrow cul-de-sac, flanked by buildings that had apparently been abandoned for a long time, with locked doors and a thick layer of dust, a few of which had completely collapsed, and a large pile of broken wood, stones, and tiles piled up in the already limited space, squeezing the road even narrower enough to accommodate one person.
The ground is littered with garbage and the pavement is full of potholes, which is in stark contrast to the main street of Kaimachi. Weeds can be seen in the cracks of the ruins, and living creatures such as cats and mice can be heard in action. There is hardly any place to stand underfoot, and there is still a lot of dirt and sharp discard. It was only when Iwanari Yutong picked up a rusty knife from an inconspicuous place that he stopped his pace.
Hattori Hideyasu could feel the middle-aged samurai in front of him exhale heavily, so he immediately signaled the ninja soldiers to be on alert with his eyes, and he also concentrated.
As a foreigner, he didn't quite understand why the bustling Kaimachi had such a dilapidated place; But as a professional ninja, after careful observation for a long time, he also found several traces of a recent visit, and estimated the two locations that were most likely to be hidden entrances.
Hattori Hideyasu was eager to make a mark. The existence of Kazushi Nakamura gave him a strong sense of crisis. But Hinote made it clear that he agreed to Iwanari Tomotsu's request to "spare someone's life". Therefore, no matter how much he stirs up the foundation, he can only wait first, and cannot act first.
At this time, Iwasari Yutong turned his back to everyone, unwilling to show the complicated look on his face.
As one of the participants, he certainly knew all the follow-up measures left by the Miyoshi family in Kaimachi.
Even when he participated in the implementation, he was already pessimistic about the related counterattack actions, so much so that he had a little idea of changing the door and protecting his family.
He knew this quite well, but he was reluctant to admit it.
But there's nothing more that can't be admitted. Changing the door is not just an idea, but a practical action.
In the Miyoshi family, the only person with the deepest feelings for Iwacheng Youtong is Changqing Gong, who has passed through the world and latitude, followed by Changyi and Zhengkang, two bosses and old friends.
Now that the Duke of Changqing has passed away, the heir is neither his own son, nor is he stupid enough to assist, so he can be ignored. As for the two old friends, it seems that the right to speak has also been taken away by Shinohara's long house.
Why should such a Miyoshi clan be nostalgic?
Therefore, in his heart, he put his wife and children first, and the idea of loyalty and righteousness faded away for a while. It wasn't until the traces of Miyoshi Masayasu were found from the clues that he was shocked again, and his feelings of shame suddenly appeared, and the feelings and temperament in his heart regained the upper hand, and he even asked Hisho to spare Masayasu's life extremely irrationally.
He himself immediately regretted it afterwards. I'm already thinking about how to ask for guilt so as not to affect my family.
But I didn't expect this rude and unreasonable request to be granted!
Moreover, the original words of the Heite Warden were "If you can exchange the loyalty of Iwanari Tomotsu, it doesn't hurt to spare Miyoshi Masayasu's life." ”
In the words, there is not only the meaning of attaching importance to talents, but also the pride of treating the enemy as idle.
Now that this is the case, what else is there to say? With such a mind and such courage, since Changqing Gongxue, he has never seen the rest.
Iwanari Tomochi thought about these things before and after, and finally made up his mind.
He explained the situation of the stronghold to Hattori Hideyasu behind him, telling him how to block all the exits, but only the last one remained.
Then he himself came to the last exit that he had deliberately left. Then he opened the secret door according to his memory, and shouted into the room in a low but cold voice:
"Obey the guardian generation of Hequan, and take the order of the prisoner to catch the fugitive Sanhao Zhengkang! If you are an unrelated person, please leave quickly, and do not interfere with our official business! ”
As soon as the secret door opened, several guards subconsciously drew their knives and killed, wanting to do their last loyalty and buy time for the lord to commit suicide.
But when they saw the people in front of them, the guards couldn't help but be greatly discolored, and even fell off their knives in shock, and they didn't dare to move, so they could only look back at Miyoshi Masayasu.
Iwanari didn't care about these little people, he just took a few steps forward mechanically, repeating:
"Obey the guardian generation of Hequan, and take the order of the prisoner to catch the fugitive Sanhao Zhengkang! If you are an unrelated person, please leave quickly, and do not interfere with our official business! ”
Miyoshi Zhengkang's face changed several times.
At first, he was desperate and dazed: Iwanari, the old guy, has surrendered, and our Miyoshi family may really be powerless to return to the sky.
Then I felt angry and disgusted: the grass on the wall is all over the ground, but I didn't expect you to be one of them!
Then there was astonishment and bewilderment: Am I not standing here? What do you mean by that? Trick us?
Seeing that Miyoshi Masaysu didn't understand very well, Iwanari Yutong was not anxious, but said for the third time:
"Obey the guardian generation of Hequan, and take the order of the prisoner to catch the fugitive Sanhao Zhengkang! If you are an unrelated person, please leave quickly, and do not interfere with our official business! ”
At this time, the torrent in Miyoshi Zhengkang's brain has flattened down, and his IQ is back online. He gradually understood the meaning of Iwa's call.
Looking at it again, it was obvious that a large number of people and horses were haunting the neighborhood just now, but now it was only Iwanari Yutong who was blocking the exit.
Relying on years of tacit understanding, Miyoshi Masayasu finally understood the meaning of Iwanari Youtong. His eyes widened. At this time, there should have been a sense of aftermath of life, but at the same time, it was a thousand times more than the feeling of happiness, ten thousand times more incredible.
What the hell is going on?
How?
It's really ...... It's really ......
It can't be described as "surprised". It can only be said to be funny!
This kind of plot is also amazing.,It's a bridge that only appears in Monogatari novels!
Miyoshi Masaysu couldn't help but meet Iwanari Yutong's eyes.
At this moment, although he still didn't understand what was going on, he understood the other party's complicated feelings.
The old friend's heart seems to be able to empathize.
He believes that his old friend must also be unwilling, but the betrayal is still unforgivable.
But...... The only death through the ages.
Although he is ready to commit suicide, although he thinks he is not afraid of death, although sometimes reputation is more important than life...... But if there is a choice, who wants to actually die?
The desire to survive life is written in the genes of living beings, and it is undoubtedly the highest priority.
It's better to be alive than anything else.
Even if it is possible to be a complete set, even if there is only a one percent chance, in the face of this situation, there is only one try.
So Zhengkang stretched out his trembling hand and motioned for the guards to go out with him.
And after Iwanari Yutong finished his lines three times, he stood still and did not stop.
The two passed by.
None of them turned their heads to look sideways, but they all felt that the other party's eyes were still on them.
All that remains is the last sentence of Masayasu Miyoshi:
"I'll leave now, and I won't dare to disturb your business. I wish you good luck. ”
Iwanari Youtong suddenly had an impulse, he wanted to say to his old friend: "The demeanor of the Pingshou Supervisor is not inferior to that of Changqing Gong, so there is no need to fight against it." ”
But this time he restrained his impulses.
Because Miyoshi Zhengkang has always been a person who will never admit defeat, even in the face of Changqing Gong, who has been in the sky and latitude, he surrendered after 14 years of confrontation.
So Iwanari Yutong just quietly watched his old friend leave.
He turned around and slowly followed, and could see a group of several people rushing towards the port in the morning light. It disappeared from sight in a moment.
As long as you casually mix in a boat, you will be safe. But he also left his roots, and since then he can only start from scratch in a foreign country.
A moment later, Hattori Hideyasu quietly appeared behind him. There was only one person, and there were no ninja soldiers with him. In his hand, he carried the things that Miyoshi Masayasu could not take with him, including records of the construction of secret bases, letters of communication with merchants, bills of exchange and tokens for obtaining gold, and so on.
According to the instructions of Hite, after obtaining this, Miyoshi Masaysu himself can be released.
"My Lord's promise has been fulfilled."
Hearing this, Iwasari Yutong couldn't restrain himself anymore. As if out of strength, he fell to the ground, and wept bitterly in front of this young man ten years younger than himself.
