After Sukeemon left Momoyama Castle, Sabei said to Suzuki Heavy Industries and the others who were serving him, "Come into my house and talk!" Then he said to Pingji, who was kneeling on the side: "Pingji is guarding the door!" ”

Heiji, who was kneeling, heard Sabei's order and bowed his head and promised. Later, after Sabei, Suzuki Heavy Industries, and others entered the house, Heiji stood in front of Sabei's house with a small knife on his waist, and looked around vigilantly.

Sabei, who was sitting in the room, looked around at the retainers in front of him again, and then whispered to them, "Do you know why I asked Sukeemon to leave Momoyama Castle wearing my armor today?" ”

The three people who heard the words all shook their heads, and Suzuki Heavy Industries said to Sabei in front of him: "Sukeemon is a ninja, and the Lord sent him on a mission on a fair day, mostly to let him act in disguise..."

Sabei took a deep breath, and then informed everyone of the Asakura family's intention to surrender. Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Suzuki Heavy Industries had some fine sweat on his face, and whispered to Sabei: "Lord, has it really reached this point before North Vietnam?" ”

The silent Sabei nodded, and whispered to everyone: "The Asakura family is also a famous family in Hokuriku, if it weren't for the situation that the situation has deteriorated to the point that even they can't contain it, the Asakura family may not be surrendered to the lord, but I don't know if this matter is a blessing or a curse!" ”

At this time, Sabei's door was suddenly slammed, and Sabei instantly threw the knife beside him to Fujido Takatora, and then picked up the pressure cut on the knife holder from behind. Suzuki Heavy Industries and Kaima Yoshiya immediately erected the wooden table on the floor and protected Sabei behind them.

Then Heiji's voice came from outside the door: "Lord, Lord Tomita is here!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei glanced at the three people beside him, and the three of them immediately restored the room to its previous appearance, and Sabei also put the pressure cut on the knife holder, and took the sword from Fujido Takatora's hand, and said to Heiji outside the door: "Please come in!" ”

Then Tomita Nagahiro walked into Sabei's house with a smile, bowed his head to Sabei and said, "When I came, I saw someone leaving wearing the armor of Lord Mingwei, and I don't know what happened, since I let Lord Meie even let the samurai under the door wear the armor?" ”

After hearing this, Sabei smiled and said, "Lord Koba died in battle, and I sent my men to ask the lord who should handle the affairs of Tsuruga County; This was not a rebellion that had just subsided, and I couldn't get out, so I sent my men down, fearing that the lord's servants would not know him, so I asked him to wear my armor. ”

After hearing this, Tomita Nagashi immediately said to Sabei: "This time to quell the Tsuruga Rebellion, Lord is a part of this battle, and the affairs of Tsuruga County should naturally be handled by Lord Mingwei!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei waved his hand and said, "I'm not familiar with the affairs of Tsuruga County, and I have to guard against the offensive in front of North Vietnam, so my ability is really limited. Speaking of this, Sabei immediately showed a sudden realization, and said to Tomita Nagashige, who was already sitting in front of him: "Lord Tomita is indeed a good candidate, I will recommend Lord Tomita to the lord, but I hope that Lord Tomita can take care of my knowledge and deeds in Tsuruga County!" ”

Tomita Nagashiro immediately showed a smile when he heard this, and said to Sabei: "There are some things I want to talk about with Master Mingwei alone!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei laughed and said, "It's okay, you can just say it!" ”

After Tomita Nagashi heard Sabei's words, he also laughed, and said to Sabei: "Lord Mingwei is really more courageous than me, okay, then I'll talk about it later." Tomita Changfan stabilized his breath and said to Sabei: "Lord Mingwei, if you help, you will naturally give some gifts to Lord Mingwei." ”

After speaking, Tomita Nagashi took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to Sabei's hand. Sabei took the paper handed to him by Tomita Naghiro, and after his eyes swept over it, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said to Tomita Naghiro: "Lord Tomita, are you trying to harm me?" What is the cause of the riots in Tsuruga County, you know better than me, so much food, you handed it over to me, what will the lord think when he finds out? ”

When Tomita Changfan heard this, he immediately bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, I was negligent, and I hope Lord Mingwei will forgive me!" ”

After listening to Tomita Naghiro's words, Sabei shook his head at Tomita Nagho and said, "Lord Tomita is still too reckless, it seems that he still needs to go through some training, Lord Tomita, please go back, I won't send it!" ”

Tomita Nagashi's face still looked panicked after hearing this, and he bowed his head to Sabei and said, "It's an oversight on the part of the next, and I hope that Lord Mingwei is giving me the next chance!" ”

When Sabei saw this, he got up and shook his head and said: "If I didn't take you, it is the greatest forgiveness for you, you go back first, and then I will inform you of the lord's order!" ”

Seeing this, Tomita sighed, bowed to Sabei and exited Sabei's house. Later, Tomita Nagashi, accompanied by the standing guard who was summoned by Heiji, slowly walked out of Momoyama Castle with his attendants.

After Tomita Nagofa left, Fujido Takatora on the side asked Sabei, "My lord, Lord Tomita came to visit this time, I don't know what the intention is, I heard that Lord Suzuki said..."

"The hungry wolf has finally stretched out his claws, but unfortunately I am hungrier than him!" Sabei suddenly said something that puzzled both Fujido Takatora and Kaima Yoshika. The always silent Kaima Yoshiya also said to Sabei at this time: "Lord, Lord Tomita may have gotten some news about the Asakura family, so there is a scene where Fang just came to visit the lord. ”

"It's just that his methods this time are a little too inferior, not only does it feel like it's something that a thoughtful person would do!" Suzuki Heavy Industries also added after Haima Yoshiya finished speaking.

After listening to the words of the three of them, Sabei fell into deep thought. Tomita Nagashiro made a surprise visit today, offering him 8,000 koku of grain, and he also met Sukeemon. Suddenly, Sabei asked Suzuki Heavy Industries, "Goroubei, please summon the ninjas under Youemon!" ”

At this time, the attendants sent by Hashiba Hidecho of Fuchu Castle rushed out of Fuchu Castle on horseback and ran along the road towards Omi. Passing by Momoyama Castle, he deliberately followed the orders of his lord and cautiously bypassed the section of the road guarded by Momoyama Castle from the path. Looking at Momoyama Castle, who had been left behind by himself, his cold face finally had a trace of warmth. The horses under the crotch stepped on the stone and soil, and ran towards Omi with a "da-da-da".

After instructing the two ninjas under Sukeemon, Sabei said to the Kaima Yoshiya behind him, "Yoshika, you have to start preparing more arrows." Then he said to Suzuki Heavy Industries: "Goroubei, keep the ammunition of the Iron Artillery Corps sufficient, I will give you another hundred and fifty kan, and you go to Tsuruga Town to buy some ammunition." ”

After hearing this, Fujitang Gaohu looked at Sabei, and then bowed his head and said, "Lord, what do I have to prepare?" Hearing this, Sabei smiled and said, "You go and supervise the training of the standing guards!" ”
