Chapter 339: The Haze Covering the Eastern Kingdom (Part II)
Kamihara Yasumasa led Sabei and his entourage into the castle tower of Makinohara Castle, and Sabei saw that even the castle hall had been stationed with a lot of flags, and suddenly had a bad feeling, but he couldn't say what it was.
Sabei was introduced into the castle tower, only to see that the first floor of the castle tower was full of Tokugawa generals, and before Sabei could speak, Honda Tadakatsu, who was guarding the stairs, said to Sabei and Kamihara Yasumasa: "The lord is on the first floor, you come with me!" ”
Looking at Honda Tadakatsu with a serious face in front of him, Sabei felt a little bad in his heart, so he glanced back at the Tokugawa generals sitting around, and only then could he see the gloom on the faces of the generals with the beating candlelight.
Seeing this, Sabei frowned, and then followed Honda Tadakatsu to the second floor of the castle tower. The people of the second layer are obviously more than half of the people of the first layer in terms of numbers, but they are obviously much higher than the people of the first layer in terms of status, and Honda Tadashi said to Kamihara Yasumasa: "Koheita, you wait here for a while, and I will lead Sabei to the lord!" ”
Sabei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then took a few more glances at the people on this floor, and found that the second floor of the castle tower was actually all the brave generals of the Tokugawa family who were famous for their bravery, in addition to Honda Tadakatsu and Kamihara Yasumasa, Okubo Tadasa, Hiraiwa Koyoshi, Osuga Yasutaka and Watanabe Moritsuna and others.
Without waiting for Sabei to think about it, Honda Tadashi had already urged Sabei to go upstairs with him. Sabei came back to his senses, nodded, and walked up to the third floor of the castle tower. When Sabei reached the third floor, Sabei was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
Nobumori Sakuma and Tsuneko Ikeda looked at Tadaji Sakai and Shumasa Ishikawa on the opposite side with serious faces, while Tadaji Sakai and Shumasa Ishikawa looked at a person who was prostrating on the ground with a gloomy face. Before Sabei could react, Sakuma Nobumori said to Sabei: "Sabei, you go and meet Mikawaden first!" ”
Seeing this, Honda Tadashi also nodded to Sabei and said, "Please also ask Sabei to meet the lord first!" ”
Hearing this, Sabei glanced at Honda Tadakatsu, and when he saw more complicated meaning in Honda Tadakatsu's eyes, he knew that he was in trouble.
Following Honda Tadashi to the top of the castle tower, Sabei saw Tokugawa Ieyasu with a pale face and a disheveled head.
Sabei was frightened by Tokugawa Ieyasu's appearance on the spot, and before Sabei could cast a pleading gaze at Honda Tadakatsu behind him, Honda Tadakatsu had already saluted Tokugawa Ieyasu and turned around and walked down the floor.
Sabei looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, whose eyes were bloodshot, bowed his head and sat down, leaning forward and bowing his head in silence.
After a long while, Tokugawa Ieyasu let out a long sigh, and then said to Sabei, "Sabei, are you full of questions about my appearance? ”
Hearing this, Sabei didn't know how to answer for a while, so after thinking about it, he lowered his head and said, "The lord ordered me to come and coordinate the affairs between the coalition forces, I don't know what to explain in the Three Rivers Palace?" ”
After Tokugawa Ieyasu listened to Sabei's words, a smile appeared on his pale face, and then he muttered, "People really change!" ”
This sentence seems to be said to Sabei, and it is like Tokugawa Ieyasu's self-talk. For a while, Sabei was even more confused.
Just as Sabei was frantically speculating about what was going on, Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly asked Sabei, "When will the Shintadaden come?" ”
Sabei thought about it, and after a few breaths, he said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "At least five or six days, more than eleven or twelve days, the young lord will definitely lead the army here." ”
Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded after hearing this, and then got up and said to Sabei: "The Takeda Army has recently moved again, and yesterday the small mountain near the South Valley of Zhu no Gu came to report that the Takeda Army has thousands of troops stationed at the North Valley of Zhu no Valley. ”
Then Tokugawa Ieyasu said, "Since the Shintada Hall will be here soon, I am also relieved!" ”
After hearing this, Sabei nodded slightly puzzled, then looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu, only to see Tokugawa Ieyasu rubbing his somewhat pale face with his hands, and then walked down to the top floor of the castle tower, laughing and shouting to Sabei: "Since Sabei has arrived, and Shintadaden will be here soon, then I don't have to worry!" ”
Hearing this, Sabei felt that Tokugawa Ieyasu was not in the right state today, and then walked down with Tokugawa Ieyasu in front of him.
Tadaji Sakai and Shumasa Ishikawa, who were on the third floor of the castle tower, heard the prestige, and happened to see Tokugawa Ieyasu and Sabei walking down with a smile, although it was only Tokugawa Ieyasu talking and laughing. Seeing this, the two of them changed slightly, and the sadness between their eyebrows became heavier. On the other hand, Nobumori Sakuma and Tsuneko Ikeda looked at Sabei more often, and when they saw Sabei nodding their heads after Tokugawa Ieyasu, they both nodded after looking at each other.
Tokugawa Ieyasu walked up to Tadaji Sakai and Shumasa Ishikawa and said to them, "I have already found a solution to this matter, so you don't need to be too nervous!" ”
After listening to Tokugawa Ieyasu's words, Sabei was even more puzzled in his heart, as if things were not what Tokugawa Ieyasu said.
Tokugawa Ieyasu summoned Honda Tadashi again and told Honda Tadakatsu to dismiss the castle tower and the people in the temple.
The corners of Honda Tadakatsu's mouth moved slightly when he heard this, and he wanted to say something but only bowed his head, and left the place without even making a promise, and glanced at Sabei's place before leaving, and Honda Tadakatsu's gaze happened to collide with Sabei's.
Looking at Honda Tadakatsu's back, Sabei reflected on the worries and questions he read in Honda Tadakatsu's eyes, and felt more and more that there was a bigger secret in the matter of Tokugawa Ieyasu calling himself in front of him.
Just as Sabei frowned and pondered the key to this, Tokugawa Ieyasu jerked out the saber at his waist and slashed the man lying on the ground.
Seeing this, Sabei looked at Nobumori Sakuma and Tsuneko Ikeda, and the two looked at Sabei with their eyes and nodded at Sabei. Seeing that the two of them had given him this ambiguous signal, Sabei had to temporarily assume that they were in favor of Tokugawa Ieyasu beheading him.
As for who this person is, Sabei naturally doesn't know, but he won't ask at this point in time.
Just as Sabei was about to leave with Sakuma Nobumori and Ikeda Tsuneko, Okubo Tadashi ran to Tokugawa Ieyasu with a nervous face and whispered to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, Toe has broken out!" ”
???
Sabei, Sakuma Nobumori, and Ikeda Tsuneko all looked incredulous when they heard this, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's attack on the Ichijo sect was nothing short of religious extermination. Why has there been another outbreak in Enoe now, although Okubo Tadashi did not say the location and scale of the outbreak, but it seems that it should be quite troublesome.
After hearing this, Tokugawa Ieyasu chuckled and said, "Order Oka Qi to stay behind and gather the remaining groups in each city to calm down!" ”
Okaki stayed!?
The moment he heard these four words, Sabei suddenly remembered Tokugawa Ieyasu's sister-in-law, the young master of the Tokugawa clan, and the son-in-law of Oda Nobunaga-Tokugawa Nobuya.
Integrating the previous state and language of Tokugawa Ieyasu, could it be that Tokugawa Nobuyasu had an accident? Started contacting the Takeda clan so soon? Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Oda Family's Rinzai Monk's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
