After Sakuma Nobumori let go of his harsh words, he got up and left the somewhat chaotic assessment room. Pingshou Fanxiu glanced at Wise Mitsuhide, and said to Wise Mitsuhide: "Lord Wise, although you are now favored by the lord, but we and other generations of the spectrum are not something you can easily shake. Yanbi also followed Sakuma Nobumori out of the assessment room.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the generals who gradually left with Sakuma Nobumori and Hete Fanhide, and glanced at Naomasa Tsukami on the side. Naomasa felt the look in Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes, bowed his head slightly, and walked out of the assessment room.

Wise Hideman, his wife Tim Fan Wu and the others outside the assessment room looked at the gloomy lord in the room, and stepped forward one after another, bowing to Wise Mitsuhide. Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the retainers in front of him and said to the attendants outside the house, "Guard the door!" ”

In the evening of the same day, Sabei, who had returned from the camp, was once again invited by Akechi Mitsuhide to discuss matters in the castle hall. Sabei looked at the attendant in front of him, sighed in his heart, and then obediently followed the attendant out of his temporary residence.

After Sabei was ushered into a tea room, the attendant who led the way stood behind Sabei and closed the door. Seeing this, Sabei subconsciously touched the small knife on his waist, but saw that in the tea room were Akechi Mitsuhide, Sakuma Nobumori, Hirate Fanhide, Naomasa Tsukasa and Tsuda Nobusumi. Looking at the five people in front of him, Sabei was a little confused, but looking at Tsuda Nobusumi's worried eyes, Sabei knew that it was not a good thing.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Sabei with a somewhat depressed face, got up and walked to Sabei and took Sabei's hand, and said to Sabei, "Sit down!" Don't be inhibited! Immediately, the other four people in the room also smiled and said to Sabei, "Sit down!" Sabei nodded and sat down around the wooden table.

After Sabei sat down, Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at his colleagues around him, and when he saw that everyone nodded, he took Sabei's hand and said, "Sabei, I was only transferred to help you this time, but now I have to trouble you!" With that, Akechi Mitsuhide bowed his head to Sabei.

Seeing this, Sabei had no choice but to help Akechi Mitsuhide up and bend down, and said to Akechi Mitsuhide, "I don't know what Akechi-sama wants to order?" ”

Seeing that the frustration on Sabei's face was gradually disappearing, Akechi Mitsuhide showed a solemn look, so he said to Sabei: "Tomorrow I need you to go to Wakae Castle, give a letter to Lord Miyoshi Yoshitsuga, and inform him that the Lord Justice is considering the matter of peace talks, in short, Sabei you need to stabilize the Miyoshi clan." ”

After hearing this, Sabei nodded and said, "I understand that this matter is not difficult, and it can be successfully completed in Xia!" ”

However, as soon as Sabei Haikou boasted about Haikou, he heard Akechi Mitsuhide say with a smile: "This is only a superficial task, your real task is to cover my subordinate Tsumiki Nanaemon and Akechi Juro Saemon to go to Wakae Castle to get in touch with Noma Sayoshi, and escort the hostages they handed over to leave Wakae Castle." ”

Hearing this, Sabei pondered for a few breaths, then raised his head and looked around at the five people around him, and after some deliberation, he said to everyone: "I am determined to live up to my mission!" ”

Early the next morning, Sabei appeared in front of the gate of Yodo Castle in military uniform. After waiting for Tomiyuki Mitsuki, Akechi Mitsukin, and two unknown samurai, Sabei and his entourage unfurled the Akechi Mitsuhide's aqua-colored bellflower flag and the Oda Nagaraku Tsubashi flag and headed for Kawachi Province.

As soon as he entered Hanoi, Sabei was discovered by the local ground guards, but because the Sabei had more than 30 well-equipped samurai under him to defend it closely, these ground guards did not have any bad intentions. After a while, Sabei and his entourage saw samurai with Miyoshi nails lined up in front.

Seeing this, Sabei stepped forward to report his name according to Akechi Mitsuhide's arrangement, and took out the white-background folding fan of the so-called token given by Akechi Mitsuhide. The samurai of the Miyoshi family checked the token of Sabei and said to Sabei, "Your Excellency, please come down!" ”

Under the leadership of the receiving samurai, Sabei and his party passed through the heavy guards and came to the main maru of Wakae Castle. The samurai of Miyoshi, who was guarding the guard, looked at the attendants behind the Sabei and bowed his head to the Sabei and said, "Envoy, please stay outside the Honmaru with your lord's attendants!" ”

Seeing this, Sabei nodded, and said to the attendants behind him, "Meijiro and Nanaemon are in charge of commanding everyone here, remember not to cause trouble!" With that, Sabei pressed the sword on his waist and entered the Honmaru with the samurai of the Miyoshi family who led the way. The attendants who remained were also guarded by the Miyoshi samurai, who were several times their size.

If the defense in the Honmaru of Ejo is even tighter, Sabei only twisted his head slightly, and found that he was locked by several eyes, and this made Sabei quite uncomfortable. As he entered the castle hall, the eyes of the Sabei became more and more numerous, and the Sabei had to look straight ahead and follow the Miyoshi samurai who led the way along the winding path to the assessment room.

When Sabei entered the assessment room, he found himself stared at by four eyes. After the sabei saluted, he was given a seat by the samurai who wore a gorgeous Nanban-style carcass at the top of the assessment room.

Sabei, who sat down, stared at him and met the two beside the young samurai. After a few breaths, one of them suddenly got up and said, "He is worthy of being the son-in-law of Nobunaga, and he is indeed brave and brave." ”

After hearing this, Sabei also got up and bowed his head and said, "When the two adults have been famous for a long time, they are being rude!" ”

After some false greetings, Sabei took the lead in getting to the point. But Miyoshi Yoshitsugu didn't seem to be particularly concerned about this matter, and just casually agreed with what Sabei said. Sabei didn't expect it to be so easy, and glanced at Miyoshi Yoshitsugu with a little question, and then Miyoshi Nagayi and Miyoshi Masaysu next to him output a set of peace talks to Sabei, and Sabei found out that he had a lot of things, so he had to pretend to echo and refute the two of them.

After a long period of perfunctory and ridiculous negotiations, the fake and outrageous negotiations came to an end. When Sabei left the assessment room, he was still wondering what Miyoshi had left. However, when I think of the current situation of the Miyoshi family, I also understand a little in an instant, it turns out that neither side is thinking about successful peace talks, but they are just using the other side's time to think, racing against time to hoard armaments and food, and stepping up pre-war mobilization and repairing city defenses, and the peace talks are just a common cover for the two sides.

Thinking of this, Sabei couldn't help laughing at himself, it seems that he is completely a soy sauce player, and this task can be changed to anyone.

Thinking about Sabei, he walked outside the Honmaru and looked at his wife Fan Yu and Akechi Mitsu who looked indifferent in front of him, and Sabei didn't know how the two of them had completed their plan. So he asked Akijiro Fushiwa, "No problem, right?" ”

After sensing that Sabei was hinting at his wife Fan Yuki, he patted Akijiro Fushiwa, who was about to answer, and stepped forward to Sabei and said, "Everything goes well!" The boulder in Sabei's heart fell to the ground, and then he said to the people in front of him: "The peace talks have been completed, let's return to Yodo Castle!" ”

Under the leadership of the Miyoshi samurai, he left the heavily guarded Wakae Castle. While leading Sabei and the others to the area where Kawachi Province and Yamashiro Province meet, the Miyoshi samurai stopped.

Seeing the samurai leave, Tsugumi and Akechi immediately led the two hostages out of the team. Seeing this, Sabei also looked at the two hostages. Sensing that a gaze was falling behind him, one of the hostages followed the gaze towards Sabei.
