Chapter 303: The Tokugawa Envoy Arrives

A few days after arriving in Gifu, Sabei, who had left the territory, stood in the camp in the town of Gifu, looked up at the sky, and looked at the stars... Ahem, look at the clouds.

As Hasegawa Shuichi's new deputy, Sabei was tasked with assisting Hasegawa Shuichi in handling the affairs of Gifu Castle and Gifu Town, and Oda Nobunaga sent Sabei to the Gifu Prefecture with the intention of having Sabei gild here, and with him to keep Sabei in his eyes low.

After walking around the town of Gifu for a few laps, Sabei became familiar with the streets of the town, and Akijiro Fushiwa and the fifteen attendants under Sabei also became free servants in the office, and at the same time, Sabei faintly surpassed Hasegawa Shuichi in the office.

Meie Xiu was protected by five Oda Honke samurai and five Meie attendants, and the patrol standing outside Meiweiyashiki also increased the frequency of patrols.

After Sabei saw the situation of Oda Nobunaga protecting and indirectly controlling and monitoring Ming Weixiu, his heart was also relieved, and his heart was calm. After his spirit improved, Sabei's motivation to carry out his work in Gifu also rose. As a result, Hasegawa Shuichi suddenly felt that his authority in the Gifu Prefecture was faintly overtaken by the airborne Sabei.

Just as the confused Hasegawa Shuichi was about to report the situation to his lord Oda Nobunaga, a knight with a tired face stopped in front of the office in Gifu Town. As the most authoritative Sabei in the current Gifu Governor's Office, he received this knight as a matter of course.

Just as Sabei received the knight in a hurry, the knight stepped forward and suddenly shook Sabei's hand. Sabei was startled for a moment, then looked up at the knight's face.

After a brief shock, Sabei said to the knight in front of him, "Xiao Heiji, why are you?" ”

Yasumasa Kamihara wiped a handful of dust from his face, and suddenly knelt down in front of Sabei and said, "Sabei, I hope you will take me to meet His Highness Oda!" ”

Seeing this, Sabei was stunned for a moment, and then asked Kamihara Yasumasa in a low voice, "Could it be that the Takeda Army marched from Suruga to Enoe?" ”

Seeing that Kamihara Yasumasa nodded, Sabei did not hesitate, and after a few words of instructions to the other metos and servants of the commissioner behind him, Sabei walked towards Gifu Castle with a somewhat tired Kamihara Yasumasa.

On the way, Sabei whispered to Yasumasa Kamihara, who had a stern expression, and asked, "Xiao Heiji, why don't you go directly to the city to meet the lord, with your identity, you can also see it directly, right?" ”

After hearing this, a smile appeared on the tired face of Yasumasa Kamihara, and he said to the Zuobei who was dressed in fancy clothes: "Zuobei, your identity as a member of the family plus my identity as an envoy of the three rivers is heavier than my single identity, and with your substitute leader, the waiting time outside the city will be shortened a lot." ”

Sabei nodded after listening to Yasumasa Kamihara's words, and then a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then he waved to the samurai on duty at the city gate. When the samurai on duty saw that it was Sabei and his attendants, he immediately ordered the gate to be opened.

Before the samurai on duty stepped forward to salute and speak, Sabei already said with a smile on his face: "Bingsuke, this is the general of His Highness Mikawa, Lord Kamihara, who has been ordered to come to Gifu Castle to meet the lord. ”

Seeing this, the samurai on duty immediately bowed to Sabei and Kanhara Yasumasa, and waved his hand to let Sabei and his party pass.

Seeing that the samurai on duty didn't ask much, Sabei smiled and said to him, "After you get off duty, go to the office to find me!" ”

After speaking, Sabei led Yasumasa Kamihara and his men towards the castle hall of Honmaru. On the way, after explaining to the samurai guarding Ninomaru and Honmaru, no one went to interrogate Sabei and his party in detail.

After arriving outside the castle hall, Ma Hui, who was guarding the gate of the castle hall, saluted Sabei and asked Sabei and his party about their intentions. After learning that the samurai beside Sabei was an envoy of the Tokugawa family, the horse on duty bowed to Kanhara Yasumasa and asked, "Do you have any evidence or other proof of identity?" ”

Seeing this, Yasumasa Kamihara nodded, then took out a letter from his body and handed it to Ma Hui, who was on duty. The two samurai on duty in front of the gate looked at each other when they saw this, and one of them immediately dodged into the city hall.

The attendant behind Sabei saw Yasumasa Kamihara take out the envelope from his body and whispered to his colleagues beside him, "How can you carry such an important letter with you?" ”

Hearing his subordinates say such things, Sabei smiled at Yasumasa Kamihara beside him and apologized. Then Sabei turned to the attendants behind him and said, "You haven't delivered the news for the family yet, so I will inform you in advance today of the matters to be paid attention to when delivering the news for the family." ”

As he spoke, Sabei said to the attendants behind him: "When delivering important news, the important content should be written down in your mind, and the things you carry are mostly things to prove your identity, rather than the message you want to convey; But this does not mean that this token is not important, if this token falls into the hands of the enemy, it will also cause huge losses to the family, so such a token must be destroyed before being captured. ”

Seeing that the attendants were thoughtful after hearing this, Sabei immediately added: "This needs to be done by samurai who are absolutely loyal to the family, and even if they are captured by the enemy, they cannot reveal any news that is unfavorable to the family." ”

Saying this, Sabei stopped, his sharp gaze swept over the fifteen attendants in front of him, and finally his gaze fell on Fushiwa Akijiro. All the attendants knew that Ming Jiro stood up to the sorrow of his family's death, and went to report Tomita Nagashi's rebellion to the lord, and subconsciously bowed to Fushiwa Meijiro.

Sabei also patted the shoulder of Fushiwa Mingjiro, and said to Fushiwa Mingjiro: "As long as the Meiwei family is here, the Fushiba family will also be there!" ”

After listening to Sabei's words, all the attendants were shocked. Even Yasumasa Kamihara was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and then nodded respectfully at Akijiro Fushiwa.

When Fushiwa Akijiro heard this, he even knelt down and expressed his will to Sabei for generations. Sabei nodded after hearing this, and then helped Fushiwa Akijiro to his feet.

At this time, Ma Hui, who went to report, also walked out and said to Sabei and Kamihara Yasumasa, "The lord invites the two adults to enter the palace!" ”
