("Terumasa Ikeda?!") What does this have to do with the Ikeda family? Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Ogino Masayuki suspiciously, and muttered, "Do you know that the old man is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Teimasa, and you don't want to live if you slander him in front of me?" ”

"How dare the villain slander His Highness Ikeda, please listen to the villain's details," Masatoyuki Ogino kowtowed, almost crying and pleading

Seeing Ogino Masayuki groveling like this, Tokugawa Ieyasu also discouraged a little, and said softly: "You can talk about it first."

"Thank you, my lord!" Ogino Masayuki excitedly bowed down again, and replied tremblingly: "The villain followed Otahara Masaaki all the way to Omiya Castle, and he planned to take advantage of the darkness to do it, just to plant the blame for the Asharai family, but he didn't want to kill halfway to bite the gold, and before he did it, he was discovered by the Togakure ninjas under the command of Komiyayama Harukatsu, and more than eighty people Ai Ren and I were difficult to break through no matter how they fought, and in the end, except for the villain, all of them were killed."

"Just now you mentioned that this was done by Komiyayama, but I never expected that the group of ninjas under his command turned out to be the famous Togakushi Shinobi" Honda Masanobu said to Ieyasu in surprise: "I don't know if the lord still remembers that after the destruction of the Takeda family, these Togakumi ninjas would rather wander around than accept the invitation of the Takeda family, and their loyalty to the Takeda family is impressive."

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded: "That's right, I sent people to find the traces of the Togakushi several times, but in the end most of them returned in vain, I didn't expect that they would join such a little-known character as Komiyayama, it's really incomprehensible."

"My lord, you don't know," Ogino Masayuki continued, "That Komiyayama Harukatsu is not the son-in-law of Komiyayama Tomoharu, but the remnant of the Takeda family."

"What did you say?!" These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, splitting Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Masanobu into a scorched outward and tender inside, the two looked at each other, and scolded at Ogino Masayuki: "Bastard, what nonsense are you talking about, the Takeda family has long perished, how can there be any remnants?" ”

Ogino Masayuki hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, saying that he was indeed guilty of frightening the two, but what he said was true, that Komiyayama Harutsu is indeed a descendant of the Takeda family "The lord doesn't know, he is Takeda Katsuyori's third son, Takeda Katsukin, before the battle of Mt. Tenmu was escorted out of Kai by Komiyayama Tomoharu, and then was blessed by the Ikeda family and survived, and now in order to restore the family name, he threw himself into the saddle and horse under the command of the right house, and did his best."

"My lord," Honsho Masanobu nodded after hearing this, and analyzed to Tokugawa Ieyasu, "If this is the case, then it is reasonable to solicit Togakushi ninjas, but I didn't expect that the Ikeda family would do such a thing behind Nobunaga's back."

"Ikeda Hengxing is a powerful retainer that Nobunaga relied on, and the old man never expected it, but this is not inexplicable, didn't the original family also take a big risk to recruit Takeda's relics, but this is really incomparable with the Ikeda family that directly protects Takeda's descendants."

"But that's why Ishida's rebellion against his family is too early, right?" Honda Masanobu pondered carefully

"I beg your pardon for the villain's presumptuousness," Ogino Masayuki continued, "That night, the minister pretended to submit to Komiyayama and learned from him that since the villain was replenished in Tatebayashi Castle, Komiyayama's whereabouts were well known to Komiyayama. ”

"Hypocritical obedience? Why, Komiyayama will take a fancy to you? "Honda Masanobu can't believe Ogino Masayuki's explanation, in his opinion, Komiyayama Harukatsu, who has a Togakure ninja, will not fall in love with a product like Ogino, which is likely to be a discordant scheme

Ogino Masayuki was belittled by Honda Masanobu like this, and his face was red and blue for a while, and he muttered: "Sado Mamoru doesn't know, the reason why Komiyayama wants to recruit villains is for more than a dozen penetrating ninjas under the villain's command, which is also the reason why the villain can come back alive."

"So that's the case," Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed slightly: "It seems that Komiyayama wants to re-recruit the ninjas of the Takeda family to serve the right house Ai If this is the case, then it is understandable to let you come back"

"The lord is right," Ogino Masayuki nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice: "The villain was originally a relict of Takeda, and it was this that made Komiyayama Harukatsu relax his vigilance, so that he told the Ikeda family behind the scenes, to be honest, when he said that it was His Royal Highness Ikeda who provided information, the villain was also surprised, but thinking of the Ikeda family a few days ago, at the request of the right house, sent 2,000 troops to assist in the defense of Otawara, and allowed Komiyayama to use the Ikeda family's family crest, all this seems to be not so abrupt"

Hearing what Masayuki Ogino said, Honda Masanobu, who was originally inclined to be necessary, also began to waver: "Allowing Komiyayama to use Ikeda Butterfly means sympathy for the Takeda clan and recognition of Komiyayama; promised to send 2,000 troops to Otawara to show the submission of His Royal Highness Teimasa to the Right Mansion; As for the information about the betrayal of the ninja of the family to Komiyayama, it is obvious to draw a line with the family Ai Zhugong, and Wechen thinks that the Ikeda family has deviated from the family, and he will have to guard against it in the future."

Tokugawa Ieyasu was already full of grief and indignation, first betrayed by Gamo Hideyuki, and now betrayed by Ikeda Terumasa, and his two sons-in-law all threw themselves into Toyotomi Hidebo at this critical moment! Although I was originally skeptical, in the face of such a detailed analysis as Honda Masanobu, how easy is it to admit it?

"The old man understands," Tokugawa Ieyasu held back his anger and waved his hand to Ogino Masayuki: "I've worked hard for you this time, go down and rest first, as for how to reply to Komiyayama, I'll tell you later"

Hearing that he had nothing to do, Shoichi Ogino immediately leaned down to say goodbye and hurriedly exited the main hall, leaving only Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Masanobu to talk secretly in the room

"I really didn't expect that Ikeda Terumasa would have done a better job than the Gamo family, and if it weren't for Shoyuki Ogino's truth, the family wouldn't have been deceived for a long time" Honda Masanobu also changed his name for Ikeda Terumasa at this time, and it seems that he has been very sure that he has been betrayed

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded and lamented: "Why did the old man think that he didn't explode to Teruma and Hideyuki like this, why did Ai, the son-in-law who is all the old man, turn to Toyotomi Hidebi at this time?" ”

Honda Masanobu also looked depressed, and said with emotion: "My lord, you are wrong, in today's world, let alone sons-in-law, even fathers and sons can become enemies, brothers will kill each other, the way of humanity has long been abandoned in the wilderness, and the gift of monarchs and ministers has long been regarded as grass mustard, you want to use women to tie up ambitious jackals, isn't it a fool's dream?"
