Hearing such a conversation between the master and servant, everyone must be able to guess that this assassination incident is more or less inseparable from them.

The Assassin was indeed the daughter of Nakata Tokimasa, named Ajan, who had been married to Edo at the time of Nakata's massacre, and had escaped death as a retainer of Ieyasu. After learning the bad news of Manmen's murder, she repeatedly asked her husband to return to Yuanjiang to avenge her family. After learning about this, Ieyasu suddenly had a plan in his heart and decided to make good use of her.

Of course, the superficial work still has to be done well, Ieyasu pretended to be very sympathetic to her, talked to her righteously, and often showed regret for Nakata's current politics: "Your father is an old minister who has followed me for more than 20 years, but because I was appointed as the banner leader of the West Yuanjiang, I can't move to Edo, I didn't expect that this will lead to your father and woman's ghost, hey, this is all my sin." "In fact, Nakata Toshimasa has long begun to expand his influence in the area of Mikawa Yuanjiang, and he is even more disobedient to Ieyasu, Ieyasu wants to get rid of it as soon as possible, who knows that Hidebo is one step ahead, and it is too late to be happy, how can he regret it.

However, Ah Jiang thought that this matter had nothing to do with Ieyasu, but was the result of Hidebo's wanton killing, so he comforted Ieyasu and said: "My father's appointment as the banner leader is the lord's appreciation for him, if it wasn't for Toyotomi Hideho deliberately provoking the Three Kingdoms, how could my father and relatives in the clan die?" I also ask the lord to seek justice for my Nakata door. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Why don't I want to avenge the current politics, it's just that Toyotomi Hideho is the nephew of Taiko, and he has a fief of more than one million. ”

Hearing what Ieyasu said, Ah Jiang unwillingly shed tears, bit his lip and asked, "Lord, isn't there any other way to punish this devil?" ”

Ieyasu was waiting for this sentence, he was happy in his heart but said helplessly: "In addition to the sword and soldiers, I am afraid that the only way is to assassinate, but assassination is an errand of nine deaths, where can I find a dead man willing to risk his life?" ”

Ah Jiang listened and replied without thinking: "The little girl has learned martial arts with her father since she was a child, although it is not exquisite, but it is more than enough to deal with Toyotomi Hideho, a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills, and whose martial arts are wasted. I also ask the lord to be considerate of the little girl's desire to avenge her father, and show the way for the little girl to assassinate Xiubao. ”

Ieyasu had already nodded a hundred times in his heart, but there were a thousand disagrees, and he said with a depressed expression: "You are the only one left in the Nakata Gate, how can you still be allowed to take such a risk?" In order to be worthy of the spirit of the current government, I will not allow you to do that. ”

With tears in her eyes, she bowed to Ieyasu and wailed and begged him to grant her request. What else could Ieyasu say, so he had to "endure the pain" and design a detailed assassination plan for her.

said that it was a design plan, but it was nothing more than to make the retainers turn a blind eye to Ajan's actions, as long as she could get close to Xiubao smoothly, her obligations would be fulfilled. As for whether it is successful or not, it should depend on her creation, but Ieyasu already has his own plans.

Regarding the fact that Ajan was preparing to assassinate Hideho, Ieyasu only revealed to Honda and his son in advance that he did not tell the truth about the other retainers, even Ii Naomasa, but only ordered them not to interfere in the matter of Ajan disguised as Akoku, as for the reason, since he didn't want to say it, these retainers didn't dare to ask.

In fact, it wasn't until the day before the incident that Ieyasu told the Honda father and son about his plan to connive at Ajan's assassination of Hideho. Honda Masamune felt incredulous when he heard this, and immediately raised an objection: "My lord, even if the assassination of Da Nayan is Ajan's own idea, if he is really allowed to die in Edo, I am afraid that the family will not be able to get rid of it, and then it will be troublesome for Taiko to blame it." ”

Ieyasu smiled and said nothing, turned sideways and asked, "Masanobu, what do you think?" ”

Honda Masanobu glanced at Masamu, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty has no objections, I believe that the lord will not let Ajiang succeed." ”

Ieyasu laughed when he heard this, and praised Zhengxin: "Those who know me are not Zhengxin, Zhengchun, you have to learn from your father, with your current ability, you can't take over the class." ”

Honda Masasumi immediately bowed and apologized for his inconsiderate consideration, and Ieyasu continued: "Yes, I was planning to indulge Ajan in assassinating Hideho, but this was only to test Hideho, and I would never allow her to succeed in the assassination. ”

"Temptation? Is the lord still not at ease with the big words? Honda asked. Ieyasu nodded: "The letter you sent back last time just told me that Hideho and Sannari are at odds, and you can take this opportunity to win over." But you don't know the prerequisites, what I need is an obedient dog, not a tiger who can bite me back at any time, if I can't prove that he meets this point, then I can only be an enemy. ”

"That's why the lord arranged ninjas in Utsunomiya?" Zhengchun suddenly realized.

"Exactly," Ieyasu continued, "if I find out that he is a man who does nothing, I will feel comfortable wooing him, but if he is malleable, then I will have to let the ninjas who are full of Utsunomiya get rid of him in Ueno, which is no longer my territory anyway, and I can rely on all the wealthy clans of Junyuansan, even if Taiko suspects it afterwards, he will definitely not suspect me." Of course, I'll sit next to Hideho to protect him, and as soon as I pull out the dagger, I'll kick her to the bottom of the hall so that she won't get into big trouble. ”

After listening to Ieyasu's plan, Zhengchun was so impressed that he immediately went down to arrange relevant matters for Ajan, and after a day, there was the thrilling scene at the banquet. However, what Ieyasu didn't expect was that Komahime would be able to stop Ajan's assassination before him, which made him look at the princess of the best family.

After visiting Komaghime and apologizing and comforting Hideho, Ieyasu and Honda go to the study to discuss their next steps.

As soon as he returned to the study, Ieyasu said to Masanobu like a child: "I didn't expect that this highness is even more stupid than Jin Wuzhong's Nayan, and even more brutal than the former Guan Bai, so it would be a waste if such a 'talent' was not used." ”

Honda Masanobu nodded approvingly: "This person is drunk and immoral, moody, I thought that the matter of Nakata Castle was a ploy to kill chickens and monkeys, but judging from the fact that he killed Ajan in front of everyone today, we know that he already likes to kill, and regards human life as a mustard, how can such a cruel person support the foundation of the Toyotomi family?" ”

"Not only that," Honda Masamune also expressed his opinion, "he actually listened to Ajan's side and believed that this incident was all done by her alone, and had nothing to do with others." A person with such a simple mind, if he follows the lord in the future, a little trick can make him die for his family, and it is impossible to fight back. ”

Ieyasu looked at Masamu with satisfaction, yesterday he was still confused and didn't know why, but today he has understood the mystery, which is indeed worthy of praise: "I'm glad you can think of this, but there is another thing that you must not have noticed, it is Hideho's attention to Komahime." ”

"Is that important?" Zhengchun touched his head and was confused again.

Ieyasu asked a little sarcastically, "Isn't it heavy?" As the saying goes, 'red face and bad water', he Xiu Bao was drunk, but because of the injury of Ju Ji suddenly sobered up, and before he could get the truth out of Ah Jiang's mouth, he stabbed her, such a matter of love can be passed on as a beautiful talk in ordinary people, but he is not an ordinary person after all, but a big name who is destined to be involved in the world's disputes, and attaches too much importance to the so-called confidante, and will not get the world after all. ”

After listening to Ieyasu's explanation, Honda Masanobu immediately asked, "In that case, the ninjas stationed in Utsunomiya..." Ieyasu ordered.

At the same time, Hideho is waiting for her to wake up in front of Komahime's window. Seeing that there were no outsiders, Hideho ordered Shima Kiyoxing to close the door, and then changed his drunken face, bowed to Fujido Gaohu and said, "I have no choice but to let you be wronged." ”

Gao Hu also changed his indignant expression, and said politely: "The lord is so embarrassed that his subordinates are embarrassed, if he hadn't known your alcohol consumption earlier, he would have really believed it." ”

Dao Qingxing also interjected at this time: "Gao Hu is right, they don't know the amount of alcohol the lord, but can we still not know, since you acted so realistically, your subordinates will also calculate." It's just that Mrs. Komahime has been affected, and I really can't help it. ”

This can poke Hideho's wound, although he guessed that Ieyasu wanted to take the opportunity to test his character, but he really didn't expect that he would come up with such an extreme method as sending assassins, and what he didn't expect was that Komahime would be so desperate to save himself, how could Hideho not feel guilty?

"Your Highness," Komahime called softly as she opened her eyes.

Seeing that Komahime was awake, Hideho immediately cried with joy, clasped her hands tightly and responded excitedly: "I'm here, Hideho sits in front of you." ”

Komahime stretched out her hand and stroked Hideho's cheek, and said with a satisfied smile, "Your Highness is fine, and the concubine is relieved even if she dies." "What a stupid thing to say, it's just an arm injury, you can recover after a few days of rest, and then you will accompany me to enjoy the plum." Hideho comforted.

Komahime's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, Sakura's lips were closed, and she turned her head to one side and fell asleep. Looking at her shyness expression, Xiubao suddenly recalled his first love, which was also this kind of expression and this kind of warmth, but he may never see him again in this life.

He gently stroked Kohime's hair, looked at her with warm eyes, and silently said in his heart: "Abandon what way now, and kiss yourself at that time." will also take pity on the people in front of him. ”
