"After I left, I heard that something like that had happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chijuro quietly looked at Honxiu's expression, "According to the tone of the prison hall at the time, I thought there would be some big trouble in the city, but who knew that it was ......"

Fan Xiu listened quietly and didn't say a word.

Suddenly, there was a long sigh.

"Thank you, Mr. Chijuro." He bowed forward, "If what I expect is right, in a few months, Owari will calm down, and Tamagoya will be able to return to Cheongju at that time." ”

"So...... Then please take care of the adults. Chijuro bowed, not showing the joy of returning to his hometown, but rather depressed.

Suppressing his thoughts, he walked around the store, picked out a random errand, and prepared to go out. Yuyuewu said that he would not accept the money, and Fanxiu did not make much excuses.

……………………

Shibata Shimosha Castle, an unidentified guard, and the title on the letter......

The context of the matter has been sorted out. The letters that Hirate Masahide received were nothing more than letters exchanged between Hisahide and Nobuyuki's group. There is nothing to be done about the betrayal of the eldest son, so there is only one death.

But what exactly is the content of the epistle?

If it's just an ordinary conversation, it's impossible to be shocked. If it is an important matter, it is impossible for a third party to pass it on on its behalf.

Then, judging from the overall judgment, this letter should be ambiguous and deliberately uses many puns. And the tie at that time was exhausted, and the most aggrieved moment was inevitably credulous.

However, this kind of thing is not done by people like Shibata Katsuya, but it seems to be the handiwork of Lin Sado.

The most direct way is nothing more than to directly question Hisakahide or Shibata Katsuie, however......

After hesitating, he returned to Shiga Castle.

Hisahide went to the fields to inspect the grain harvested from the shoya, and Masuda Nagamori, who was in charge of the land in the forty towns of Oki Village, was not in the city.

After not seeing him for a few days, Hattori Koheita's injuries were close to healing, and when he saw Honhide, he immediately said that he could return to the team at any time, and his younger brother Koto Tai also expressed his desire to join the Oda family.

"Then the next time you go out into battle, you will be counted together in my military service." Fan Xiu replied casually, still frowning.

"Is there anything bothering Your Highness?" Kotota asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Fan Xiu glanced up at him.

Xiaoping Tai hurriedly got up and pulled his younger brother behind him: "How can you be so formless in front of Your Highness?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Fanxiu waved his hand and sat down across from their brother.

"Mrs. Xiaoping," ...... suddenly asked, "What if you need to use a letter to mislead others when using a stratagem?" ”

The Hattori brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Fan Xiu smiled bitterly and looked to the side. It was just a casual remark, and I didn't expect an answer.

But he never thought that Xiao Teng hesitated for a moment, and then spoke out as a result.

"If you want to use letters, you must first imitate the handwriting of the other party, and once upon a time there happened to be a Zen master in Owari, but secretly he was a master of imitating handwriting......

Fanxiu's eyes fluttered, and she looked up and motioned for him to continue.

"This master, whose Dharma name is Yizhai, is not famous, but he also has a title, which is called Genami......"

Fan Xiu nodded, and pondered for a moment.

"This information should be familiar to ninjas, why is Kotota so familiar?"

"That's right." Xiaoping bowed down and glanced at his younger brother with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty's uncle used to learn ninjutsu in Iga and then returned. Because this uncle had no children, he adopted Koto as his adopted son and taught many ninja skills. Two years ago, my uncle died, and I only returned home. ”

It's no wonder that Kohei is too strong and strong, but his younger brother is thin and short, it turns out that he has been trained as a ninja since he was a child......

"How many years have Koto learned ninjutsu?"

"Seven years."

Now Koheita is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and Kotota looks like a teenager of twelve or thirteen years old, could it be that the cultivation of ninjas starts at the age of three or four?

Xiaoping raised his head too and looked at Fanxiu, but he looked like he wanted to say something.

What was he thinking?

Fanxiu's mind turned and suddenly understood.

"Kohei can rest assured, after he comes out, your brothers are all upright samurai, and they will never be used as ninjas who do not see the light of day."

"Your Highness!" Kohei bowed too and bowed.

"I happened to buy back a wakicha today, although it is not a famous product, but it is also quite practical, so I will give it to Xiao Fujitai to use!" The things that were brought back from Tamagoshiya by chance suddenly had a value of use.

"Thank you......" Xiaoping Tai seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and could only say the word thank you.

Although Xiao Fujita was a little unimpressed at first, she couldn't help but be moved at this time, and she also bowed along.

Now, it's time to get down to business.

"So, where is this person now?" Fan Xiu asked as if unintentionally.

Koto's face was embarrassed.

"Mr. Neami...... It seems that he has been lost in two or three years, and no one can find him within Owari. ”

"Could it be that I went to another country?"

Kotota shook his head.

"If you go to another country, you won't be heard from at all."

Fan Xiu was silent for a while, and then stroked his palm and smiled: "Anyway, I don't have to forge any letters, and I don't need to deliberately go to him." ”

"Really?" Kotota looked up at Honhide, skeptical, but a hand reached out from the side and pressed him to the ground.

"Kotota has never learned samurai etiquette since he was a child, please forgive your Highness!"

Fanxiu's face was as usual, nodded, and suddenly got up again.

The Hattori brothers also stood up together.

"Speaking of which, there are still things to do in Cheongju. You can stay in the city for the time being, Xiaoping Tai has not recovered yet, so go and rest first. Little Fujita, help me prepare my horse! ”

After saying that, he got up, returned to the room, hurriedly reasoned, changed his clothes, and then went out.

Kotota was already waiting at the door with his horse.

"Little Fujita......"

Hoshu took the whip and stared at Kotota.

"When your brother spoke, you didn't seem to think so. Don't you want to be a ninja instead of a samurai? ”

"Your Highness!" Xiao Fuji bowed his head too lowly, "The villain has only learned ninjutsu since he was a child, and he is only good at hiding and tracking such skills, if he goes into battle as a samurai, he will only become a burden to his brother!" ”

So that's what he thought.

"The mountains of Rokkaku, the Hattori of Matsudaira, these are all samurai as ninjas, can't you be the next one?"

After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder, ignored the other party's surprised gaze, and turned over on the horse.

The most efficient way to find the traces of this person is to turn to Oda Nobunaga.

In the past few days, he has repeatedly visited Cheongju and delivered news, and it seems that he has completely forgotten his former hostility.

Perhaps it can only be explained that in the face of a larger "enemy", the original "enemy" will also become friends.

…………

"Neami Ichisai?"

Nobunaga's face was cloudy.

"This man...... Originally a scholar who traveled to Kyoto, after his old age, he lived in seclusion in Owari for a while, but later suffered a stroke and lost sight in one eye, so that he was left in the market, like a beggar, and I picked him up and placed him in a barn to work as a record-keeping...... "Nobunaga showed rare patience and actually said a dozen words without cursing.

"Could it be that it's a mountain in Cheongju City?" Fan Xiu was stunned, he had seen the man a few times before, and heard that this self-proclaimed "one mountain", although the old man who ate fasting and recited Buddha could not do without crutches, but he had an excellent memory, and the accounts of the barn had always been unforgettable, but he didn't expect that there was such a big source.

Nobunaga stood up and yelled at the door.

"I'm going to check the barn's accounts, go and carry me in!"

So there was a commotion.

Before long, the old man was carried in by two attendants and placed on the floor.

Nobunaga stared coldly at the old man.

"Neami! I can not pursue other old things, but deliberately concealing important things may anger me! ”

The old man was on crutches and struggled to stand up, which was considered a gift.

"There's nothing to hide."

Seeing that he was sick and weak, and he couldn't stop panting, Fan Xiu couldn't help but feel unbearable.

So he said to Nobunaga, "Let the old gentleman sit down first." ”

Nobunaga frowned and nodded.

Fan Xiu stepped forward and helped the old man to sit down against the wall.

Neami smiled as hard as he could, and a friendly look came over him.

"I did write a few letters for Musashi-sama (Oda Nobuyuki) a few years ago, but I have reported them truthfully."

"So, is there a letter to the Hirate?"

"There is indeed a ......"

"Why haven't I seen you say it before?" Nobunaga scolded him, and Honhide tightened his heart even more.

"That day, the old man said, 'There are still a few letters that other adults have requested, but they are only written about inconsequential matters,' and His Highness was already impatient to call me out......"

"No need to mention anything superfluous!" Nobunaga's face was full of annoyance, "Tell me who instigated it!" ”

"Yes. Three years ago, during the Spring Festival, Misaku Hayashi (Hayashi Tonggu) instructed me to imitate Shibata-sama's handwriting and write a letter to Hirate-sama, but not to the prison hall, but to Kuhide-sama......"

It's finally clear!

It's Lin Meisaku's strategy!

Fan Xiu only felt a loud bang in his ears, and the blood veins all over his body rushed to his brain, and he was almost dizzy, and he wanted to get up, but he fell on the floor.
