Chapter Ninety-Six: Trust and Suspicion
Oda Nobunaga opened the folding fan in his hand after saying that, and after looking at it, he found that the poem on the folding fan turned out to be Bai Lotian's "Song of Long Hatred", and Burning Sky looked up and glanced at Oda Nobunaga again. At this time, Oda Nobunaga caught the gaze of the burning sky and said to the burning sky: "According to Ieyasu's letter, you saved Kanhara Yasumasa from Mingshamon, come and tell me how you raided Suwa Katsuyori's army at that time. ”
After hearing this, Burning Sky immediately bowed his head and said to Oda Nobunaga: "At that time, I thought that Mikawaden was captured, so I didn't think much about it, and found that the road of the Takeda army marching was narrow and narrow, so I wanted to break through the Takeda army from the middle, cut off the Takeda army, and rescue Mikawaden, but in the end, I didn't expect that it was Kamihara-sama who was rescued!" ”
After hearing the words of the burning sky, Oda Nobunaga smiled and said, "Ieyasu has written to tell me that I will reward you with three hundred copper coins and some horse weapons, and I will not reward you with anything at the moment, but a lot of fame will come to you soon, and I will not hesitate to reward you at that time." ”
After listening to Oda Nobunaga's words, Sakuma Nobumori and the others bowed their heads to Oda Nobunaga and said, "I have decided to open up a larger field for the lord, follow in the footsteps of the lord, and be loyal to the lord and the family." ”
Oda Nobunaga said solemnly to Sakuma Nobumori and the others at this time: "The day after tomorrow, I will lead the troops that can be mobilized near Gifu and march towards Iwamura Castle, you have a good rest in the past two days, half of the barrier to the east of Gifu has been lost, and I must protect the other half of the barrier." ”
After saying that, Oda Nobunaga got up and walked outside the house, Sakuma Nobumori and the others were confused by Oda Nobunaga, and summoned the four of them, but they just said some irrelevant words and sent the four away. After Oda Nobunaga, who was sent away by Burning Sky with his head bowed, he looked up at Sakuma Nobumori, only to see Sakuma Nobumori saying to Hisho Fanxiu and Hayashi Xiuzhen: "I live in the castle house today, what are the plans of the two of you?" ”
After hearing this, Pingshou Fanxiu and Lin Xiuzhen also said in unison: "I will also live in the city house tonight!" After saying that, Lin Xiuzhen said to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, what are you going to do?" After hearing this, Burning Sky followed the steps of the three and replied to them, "I don't know if you have any orders to convey when you return to the camp tonight?" ”
After hearing this, Sakuma Nobumori said to the burning sky: "After you return to the camp, give the order to go down and rest early, and tomorrow I will reorganize the army again!" With that, Sakuma Nobumori and Hands Fanxiu and Lin Xiuzhen walked towards their respective yashiki.
After seeing off the three of them, he took a letter from Princess Matsu and came to the Yashiki of Honmaru Oda Nobutada. After informing the name of the samurai in front of the door, Ozora was led into Oda Nobutada's house, looking at the place where he used to be on duty, Burning Sky couldn't help but sigh that time is fleeting, and he who once guided others and was on duty in front of the door is now also a place to serve.
The sword on his waist that had been removed from the porch in front of the main room and entered Oda Nobutada's main room with his head bowed. Oda Nobutada, who was at the top, looked at the burning sky who came in with his head bowed, and before the burning sky could speak, he said to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, you have returned from the far river, what are you looking for me?" ”
After saluting, he raised his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, there is something to tell you below, but you can only say it to the young master!" ”
After listening to the words of the burning sky, Oda Nobutada glanced at the attendant beside him, and the attendant bowed his head and exited the room. Oda Nobutada saw that there was no one in the house, so he looked at the burning sky and said, "Mingshamen has something to tell me about now, right?" After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Burning Sky strode forward with his head down, and stretched his right hand into his arms.
Oda Nobutada's face changed suddenly, and he immediately got up and was about to pull out the sword on the knife holder behind him, but after turning halfway, he stopped the instinctive movements of his body, his eyes mixed with anger, disappointment, and incomprehension, and stared closely at the burning sky that was coming at him in front of him.
Burning Sky also stopped his steps after Oda Nobutada stopped his movements, and at this time, there was only a sword distance between Burning Sky and Oda Nobutada. Burning Sky looked up at Oda Nobutada, whose eyes were complicated, and whispered to Oda Nobutada: "Young Master, what do you think of your behavior before you go down?" ”
Oda Nobutada looked at the incineration that had stopped in front of him, and shouted: "Someone! As soon as Oda Nobutada's words fell, four or five attendants rushed into the house with knives. The attendants slammed down the Burning Sky, which was only a big step away from Oda Nobutada, and the Burning Sky did not argue anything, and was pressed to the ground by the attendants.
The eyes of the Burning Sky who was pressed to the ground were still staring at Oda Nobutada in front of him, and Oda Nobutada also listened closely to the Burning Sky who was pressed to the ground by everyone. After the two looked at each other for a few breaths, Oda Nobutada said to the attendants, "Leave the people behind, and you go out!" After listening to Oda Nobutada's order, the attendants were stunned for a moment and then looked up at Oda Nobutada, and the attendant's pen also said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, I still serve on the young master's side..."
"Get out!" Oda Nobutada shouted and interrupted the words of the attendants, and the attendants suddenly became angry when they saw the usually gentle young master, and although they were surprised, they still bowed their heads and slowly withdrew.
After the attendants withdrew from the house, Oda Nobutada looked at the burning sky who got up with one arm, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Ming Shamen, what do you want to do this time?" ”
After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Burning Sky took out the letter in his arms and said to Oda Nobutada: "If the lord learns that the young lord has privately used Yamashi and the foot monk to send a message to the Matsutakeda family, how will the lord guild feel?" ”
After listening to Burning Sky's words, Oda Nobutada subconsciously said to Burning Sky: "I'm sending a message to Amatsu, I don't think my father will..." ”
After listening to Oda Nobutada's words, Burning Sky took out the letter in his arms, handed it to Oda Nobutada, and said to Oda Nobutada: "Young Master, on the way back to the teacher, I captured the ninja sent by Princess Song, this is the letter written by Princess Song to the young master, please open it in person!" ”
Oda Nobutada took the letter from the hand of the burning air, sat down to read it, and said to the burning sky with a smile on his face, "Thank you this time, Ming Shamen." Seeing the seriousness behind him, he bowed his head and said to Oda Nobutada: "Young master, please listen to the next word!" ”
Oda Nobutada's face was full of spring, and he said absentmindedly to the burning sky: "Mingshamen, please speak!" After hearing this, Burning Sky looked at Oda Nobutada and said: "The young master's trip is like a move just now, and I hope that the young master can inform the lord in advance of the correspondence with Princess Song in the future, otherwise today's matter may become a reality, I hope the young master will think twice!" ”
