After Akechi Mitsuhide explained to Nobusumi Isono, he and the Takenaka half-guards went to Shiga Prefecture with their troops. Burning Sky looked at the distant army on the castle wall, and was a little unpredictable about Akechi Mitsuhide's behavior, if he wanted to give the shogunate army a chance, why did he immediately return to Sakamoto Castle after the crisis in Takashima County was resolved. If you want to give the shogunate a chance, why don't you stay in Yamashiro in Takashima County for a while and give it a little time, and why did the shogunate not let Minami Omi fight, but instead take the lead in attacking Akechi Mitsuhide, who was friendly with his own forces?

There are too many questions in it, and I can't think of it clearly for a while. At this time, Nobusumi Isono, who was standing beside the burning sky, said to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, are you really going to leave today?" After hearing this, Burning Sky said to Isono Nobusumi: "Now there is no great danger in Takashima-gun, there is a wise man's army here, you just need to rectify the military situation in Takashima-gun here, if the family and the Ashikaga family start a full-scale war, I have to go back and re-recruit samurai and ashigaru." ”

After listening to Burning Sky's words, Isono Nobusumi came to Burning Sky and said simply to Burning Sky, "I'm not particularly relieved of Wise Lord! ”

After listening to Isono Nobusumi's words, Burning Sky looked at Isono Nobusumi on the side, and said with a smile: "At least now we have to trust him, don't we?" ”

Isono Nobusumi looked at the Burning Sky who had already walked away with a smile, walked up quickly, and said to the Burning Sky: "Ming Shamen, why do you trust a former Ashikaga retainer so much? ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky smiled and said to Isono Nobusumi, "Because Lord Akechi is not only the one who recommended me to the lord, but also my friend, that's all. ”

Nobusumi Isono listened to the words of the burning sky and silently recited: "Friend? Then Nobusumi Isono asked at the burning sky, "Mingshamen, are we still friends now?" ”

After listening to Isono Nobucheng's words, Burning Sky said with a smile: "If it weren't for it, I would have cut off your head a long time ago and went to Isono Yuanchang to exchange for fame, how could I go out and fight with Isono Yuanchang to the end!" ”

After listening to the words of the burning sky, Isono Nobusumi also smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then I will choose to trust the person who Ming Shamen trusts!" By the way, the person who reported the battle to the lord yesterday has been dispatched, and I think your fame will come soon! ”

After listening to Isono Nobusumi's words, Burning Sky raised his left hand, which was still a little weak, and waved it slightly, and whispered to Isono Nobusumi: "Seven Soldiers, Isono Yuanchang betrayed his family, and now the old leader of the Isono family has no one to inherit except you, and your fame is coming, and I will eat and drink yours at that time, so as to make up for my huge loss this time, you know?" ”

The Burning Sky General walked forward after saying that, and Isono Nobusumi looked at the Burning Sky in front of him, revealing a warmth in his eyes. Then he quickly followed the burning sky and said to the burning sky: "Then we have to wait until the end of the war, and when Takashima County recovers, my family will still have to keep recruiting ashigaru and building the castle hall." ”

Half a day later, a group of nine people with eleven corpses returned to Azuchi Town under the escort of a group of ashigaru. At the same time, the story of burning the sky 21 people to repel the forces of Isono Sho Thousand began to circulate in Azuchi Town. After the war, the pacification of the samurai family was the most difficult, seeing those samurai family members holding the cold corpse, burning the hollow heart is an inexplicable bitterness, maybe one day I will be held in the arms of my lover like this. I am far from strong enough now, and I still need to continue to strengthen myself, protect myself and protect my friends and subordinates.

Perhaps it was the unchangeable fate of the martial arts family, those family members who had lost the pillars of the family still pulled out their fifteen or sixteen-year-old sons from behind them after a period of sadness, bowed their heads and said to the burning sky: "Lord, this is the eldest man in the family, I hope I can go out of the house!" Burning Sky looked at the three teenagers in front of him, who were one or two years old and Oda Nobutada, and looked at them seriously, and asked, "Are you willing to be a member of my career and make a name for yourself with me?" ”

After receiving their affirmative reply, Burning Sky smiled and turned his head to look for Fushiwa Mingjiro, but remembered that Fushiwa Mingjiro was still recuperating from his injuries, so he said to Youyisuke: "Youyisuke, you take them to get Fushu and this month's support rice." After hearing the order to burn the sky, Ichisuke led the three teenagers towards the grain depot in the new hall with the sword seized at his waist.

At this time, in Azuchi-cho, Shinsuke Yamashita was drinking in the wine hall with Sukeemon. I heard that someone in the brewery was talking about the return of the burning of the air, so I took the sake in my hand and asked the people who were talking, "Brother, you said that Mt. Hiei has returned?" As he spoke, he poured wine on the few townspeople around him. Seeing that Yamashita Shinsuke was so good at something, the townspeople also looked at Yamashita Shinsuke and asked, "Are you a foreigner?" ”

After hearing the words of the townspeople, Shisuke Yamashita said with a smile, "I am a merchant from Koga-gun, and I just heard that Mt. Hieiyama had defeated the thousand-strong army of Lord Isono with twenty-one people, and I suddenly admired it in my heart, and I wanted to pay a visit. After listening to Shinsuke Yamashita's words, several townspeople laughed and said, "Mt. Hiei is a samurai lord, how can I meet you as a little merchant!" ”

After listening to the words of the townspeople, Sukeemon said to the townspeople, "Don't despise our two brothers!" When the townspeople heard Sukeemon's words, they laughed even harder, and one of them pointed to Sukeemon and said to the people in the drinking field, "Look, the merchant said, 'Don't despise us two brothers,' so what if I despise you?" ”

After the townsfolk finished speaking, a clumsy laugh erupted in the restaurant. After listening to the townman's words, Sukeemon got up and pulled out the knife from his waist and slashed at the townman. Seeing this, the owner of the liquor store, who was originally laughing, hurriedly said to the handyman in the store: "Go and inform Mt. Hieiyama, just say that someone in the liquor restaurant has pulled out a knife and injured someone!" ”

Shisuke Yamashita grabbed his younger brother and whispered to Sukeemon, "Calm down! We're here to go to Mt. Hiei, not to hurt people! At this time, the owner of the liquor shop also came out and said to the two brothers of Shinsuke Yamashita: "You have to lose money if you break something!" The townspeople also heard what Shinsuke Yamashita said to Sukeemon, so he said to Sukeemon: "I still want to go to Mt. Hiei, and I don't want to see what I am!" ”

Enraged, Sukeemon broke free of Shinsuke Yamashita's blockade, flew up, and cut the throat of the townsfolk directly with a single sword, with a neat and clean approach without dragging mud and water at all. Seeing the blood spurting out, everyone screamed and fled in all directions, and the owner of the restaurant immediately knelt down in front of Sukeemon, begging Sukeemon to kill him and not damage the contents of the store.

Sukeemon looked around at the fleeing crowd, stuck his knife on the floor, sat down cross-legged, and drank the wine from the brew jugs of the townspeople. Watching his brother sit in place and drink after killing someone, Shinsuke Yamashita also sat down next to Sukeemon. Sukeemon, who had some remorse in his eyes, looked at his brother and said to Yamashita Shinsuke: "Big brother, I kill people by myself, and I am responsible for it alone, big brother, you don't have to stay..."

"No, I want to see what kind of person the famous Hiei Mountain Burning Sky Path is, if you can't even handle this little thing, you and I will kill and find another job from now on." Shinsuke Yamashita interrupted Sukeemon's words and smiled at the owner of the liquor shop who was trembling.
