"Sakai Town?"

Yu Qiuyou's words surprised everyone.

"The big bosses in Sakai Town aren't all that... Members of Congress? is also a member of our Yuqiu family, why do you sell iron cannons to bad guys? Yu Qiucen was stunned for a moment, and spread out his hands very puzzled.

"Master Amano said that those merchants have always been mercenary traitors. As long as it's for money, he's willing to do anything, and he has no moral bottom line. Yu Qiuyou's tone became contemptuous when he mentioned the Congress, "I've been with them for so long, and I can be regarded as seeing their true colors." There is only money in his eyes, and all he thinks about all day long is to make money, and he is not ashamed. ”

It's no wonder that Yu Qiuyu has been under house arrest in Sakai for so many years as a hostage, and it is impossible not to have a little hatred for the congressional businessmen.

"Don't say it's selling iron cannons to the Saga people, the Nerai people, and Honganji Temple." Yu Qiuyou shook his head and sneered, "Even if there are ninjas who want to buy iron cannons to assassinate their father, as long as the price is high enough, those merchants will sell it correctly." ”

"What are you talking about? Hurry up Bah Bah! Yu Qiucen frowned when he heard this, and whispered in annoyance, "How can you say such a thing!" ”

"Bah, okay?" Yu Qiuyou looked at his sister's face and reluctantly complied, "But none of those businessmen are really good!" ”

"Sakai Town merchants sell iron cannons to the enemy, where did Brother You'er know?" Naoe Noboru put a few more pieces of meat in his mouth, and asked as he chewed, "It should be confidential information, I don't know anything about it." ”

"Hehe, of course it is." When Yu Qiuyou heard the word "confidential", he immediately laughed a little proudly, and quietly glanced at Cha Cha, "Ordinary people don't know about this matter." I tell you, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. ”

"Is this information from a crow? What did Amano-sama tell you? Naoe Dengping immediately heard the mystery from Yu Qiuyou's words. Because the crow, an intelligence organization, has always been independent of the command system of the Yu Qiu family, and is only responsible to Yu Qiuping, which is different from the Military Intelligence Department.

"Hey, hey." Yu Qiuyou laughed proudly twice when he heard this, "It's the news that the crow got from the inside line of the Congress." Over the years, there have been dark lines not only in the Diet, but also in the Miyoshi family, the Mori family, the Nerai family, the Saga family, and even Honganji, and some people have even sat in the position of ministers. Various sources of information confirm that it must be the Congress that is secretly selling iron cannons to hostile forces. ”

"This information is top secret, how can the second son leak it at will?" Naomasa Ii became nervous when he heard this, quickly got up and opened the door, checked around the house, and returned to the house after confirming that there was no one, "In case this news leaks..."

"What kind of top secret is this, there are even more top secrets." The appearance of Naomasa Ii as if he was facing a great enemy stimulated Yu Qiuyu's desire to express himself, making him feel that the information he had was so important, and he couldn't help but whisper with some pride, "As far as I know... I can't figure out what you said before, it's all a pretense for our Yuqiu family to attack Kii, and the real target is Sakai Town. ”

"Did Amano-sama tell you all these things?" Naoe Dengping, who has been giggling, was also stunned at this moment.

"I'm a proud disciple of my master, and I usually help him deal with a lot of things, so why can't you tell me?"

·

Almost at the same time, Yuakihei and Amano Keide were having a secret conversation in an apartment in Maple Mountain Castle, surrounded by crow ninjas to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.

"How's the infiltration of Kii going?"

"Your Highness, just rest assured, the Military Intelligence Department and the Raven entered through two systems. The details of the Military Intelligence Department and the ninjas are all bright lines, and many of them are used to expose and paralyze the audio-visual of the people of Kii. Amano Keide lowered his voice and replied, "And the crow's people are all walking in the dark line, and with some people who have been lurking in the Suzuki family and Tsuda's family in the early years, they are already sending out a steady stream of information and topographic maps. ”

"Okay." Yu Qiuping nodded simply, and opened his mouth to ask about the topic he was more concerned about, "What about the affairs of the Congress?" ”

"Your Highness is referring to the fact that the Congress secretly secretly made iron cannons?"

"Yes." Yu Qiuping's expression became a little more serious, "Quan Bingwei, didn't the crow notice a long time ago that there were signs of secret arms sales in the Congress?" Why didn't you knock it out before? Now the lord's ninjas have been dispatched in a big way. It was only a matter of time before the Diet and Honganji were found to be in contact, and then it would be troublesome. ”

Amano Keitoku did not answer, but silently watched Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping just looked at Amano Jingde for a moment, reading what he was thinking.

"Do you want to borrow the lord's hand and knock on the Congress?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Yes. Otherwise, the congressional businessmen would not have approved the budget for your highness's request to go to Kii so happily. Amano Keitori replied in a low voice.

"They wish we could kill all those who bought their cannons, so that there would be no proof of death." Yu Qiuping chuckled twice when he heard this, and he also understood why the National Assembly passed Yu Qiuping's troop budget at such a high rate. In the past, when it was necessary to send troops during the busy agricultural period, Yu Qiuping had to talk about it well in order to win over enough legislators to vote for it.

"I also spread the news through multiple channels, saying that we are gathering the whole army this time, not to fight Kii, but to fight Sakai Town."

"Such news? Have you communicated with Congress beforehand? ”

"Your Highness is relieved that you have gained understanding." Amano Keitoku replied in a calm tone that was still unwavering.

"Okay." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly when he heard this. He didn't know whether the communication in Amano Jingde's mouth was coercion or persuasion, "Anyway, as long as it can play the role of paralyzing Kii." ”

"If it's okay, I'll go back first. Today, the General Staff is going to conduct a war game exercise on the third set of plans for sending troops, and I will be present. Yu Qiuping stood up from his chair as he spoke, and after seeing that Amano Keitoku had nothing else to say, he was about to turn around and leave.

However, just as Yu Qiuping walked to the door of the room, Amano Jingde's low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him. The crow on his shoulder also suddenly let out two low chirps.

"Your Highness."

"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping turned his head in surprise.

"I beg your pardon for trespassing, but there is one thing I have to remind Your Highness." Amano Keitoku lowered his head slightly, hiding his face in the shadows.

"We've been friends for many years, so it's okay to say it directly." Yu Qiuping waved his hand and sat down on the table again.

"Please stay away from Mrs. Ashi, it will cause you trouble."

Amano Jingde was very direct, but he whispered for no reason.

"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was confused by the sudden words on his back, "What do you mean?" ”

"Literally." Amano Keitoku replied lightly.

"Quan Bingwei, what are you thinking about?" After thinking for a moment, Yu Qiuping understood what Tianye Jingde was hinting at, "Ah Shi is the widow of Changzheng, and I won't think about her in any way. ”

"Not now, not in the future. His Royal Highness is soft-hearted, but Oda Hall is a man with a heart like stone. If you make a fuss from this, the Yuqiu family will never have peace. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Yu Qiuping frowned, and whispered slightly dissatisfied, "Quan Bingwei, Ah Shi is just a weak woman. ”

"Mrs. Aichi is a weak woman, but Oda Hall is not. If His Royal Highness and Mrs. Aichi get too close..."Amano Keide paused, not shying away at all, but said directly, "It is very likely that the Oda Palace will marry Lady Aichi to His Highness." At that time, His Royal Highness may not necessarily let Mrs. Ashi come over as a concubine, and Mrs. Feng can only be a concubine. And now the young master has been recognized by many retainers and soldiers of the Yuqiu family, and his status is as stable as Mount Tai. What if Oda Daiden asks Mrs. Aichi and His Highness's son to be appointed as heirs after Lady Aichi becomes His Highness's wife? This will inevitably lead to chaos and infighting in the Yuqiu family. If nothing else, Lord Takenaka will definitely not agree to establish a young master. ”

"The lord won't be like this, right..."Amano Keitoku's explicit analysis made Yu Qiuping's scalp tingle, and he whispered a fluke in words.

"Mrs. Kaede is a woman from the Imagawa family, how can the lord have no scruples in his heart? Will he be willing to be the next heir to one of the strongest gate lords under his command, born to a woman who harbors hatred for the Oda family? Amano Keitoku took a deep breath and continued to whisper, "A similar situation is not only His Highness, His Highness Tokugawa is also facing such a problem. The wife of His Royal Highness Tokugawa, who is also a woman of the Imagawa family. The heir of the Tokugawa family was also born to a woman who harbored hatred for the Oda family. Does Your Highness really think that the Oda Hall will not do anything? ”

Amano's serious tone and unquestioning look made Yu Qiuping feel a chill - he couldn't help but think that every time Amano Keitoku gave such a solemn warning in the past, it would often come true later. Because this man always uses the keenest eyes to watch all possible dangers in the darkness of Yuqiu's house. And in the history of Yuakihei's previous life, Oda Nobunaga did something similar - he ordered Tokugawa Ieyasu to execute Tsukiyama Lady and Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the son of Tsukiyama Lady and Tsukiyama Lady - that is, the current young head of the Tokugawa family, on the grounds that Tsukiyama's wife was a member of the Takeda family. After thinking of these terrible histories in his mind, Yu Qiuping couldn't help but shudder.

"I see." Yu Qiuping also nodded solemnly, "I'll take care of it." ”

Amano sighed. However, he also knew that according to his highness's character, it was unrealistic for him to leave behind the widow of his best friend and brother, and it was good that he could recognize the problem.

"One more thing." In the depressing atmosphere, Amano Jingde once again gave Yu Qiuping a blow.

"It's not just His Highness who wants to stay away from Mrs. Ashi. His Royal Highness should also pay attention to the relationship between the young lord and the second prince and Asai Chacha. ”

"It's just a child's house." Yu Qiuping understood what Amano Keide was referring to, but for the sake of inner peace, he still reluctantly quibbled.

"That's also a girl who has a deep hatred for the Oda family, and it's the orphan of Asai Nagamasa." Amano Jingde coldly pierced Yu Qiuping's illusions, and directly said what Yu Qiuping thought in his heart, "If the two sons are too close to Chacha, even if the Oda Hall doesn't want to interfere with the heir of the Yuqiu family, it can't help it." ”

"I see." Yu Qiuping nodded a little heavily, and then got up to leave. As he reached the door, Amano Keedoku whispered his final advice.

"Flowers have thorns, and they are almost ominous."
