Depressed, the scene was unusually depressed, and everyone didn't dare to make a sound, quietly looking at the lord Hosokawa Nobuyuan, with slightly closed eyes.

"The evil spirit of this knife... It's really heavy..."Hosokawa Nobumoto opened his eyes and said slowly, and everyone quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the lord.

"Ieyasu..."Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly shouted Tokugawa Ieyasu's name, and the latter's heart was sudden.

"This knife... It was when I went to the temple to send it to me, and you asked someone to send it to me. Seemingly... It's not very compatible with me, today, I'm going to give you this knife back..."As he spoke, Hosokawa Nobumoto got up, grabbed "Muramasa", passed by Mibuchi Fujiei, and strode in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He handed the knife forward with one hand, looking down at Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was still kneeling and bowing, and a thick coercion enveloped Ieyasu.

"Yes! Thank you, Lord for the reward! Tokugawa Ieyasu respectfully took the "Muramasa" with both hands, this sword originated from Ise-sana, which was widely equipped in the Tokugawa family, and even Ashigaru was equipped with Muramasa's sword.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, was slashed by his own retainers with a knife from the Muramasa when he was fighting the Oda family, from his right shoulder to the small **. Then, Tokugawa Ieyasu's father, Matsudaira Hirotada, was also hacked to death with a knife by a close minister, also with Muramasa. Therefore, this knife was listed as a demon knife by Tokugawa Ieyasu, a forbidden knife, and completely destroyed, and in the end only this one Muramasa remained.

It is said that this Muramasa knife is even more vicious, and among all the destroyed Muramasa knives, he is the only one who is not afraid of fire refining and smashing. At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave this knife, and naturally he was also uneasy and kind.

Today, Hosokawa Nobumoto returned this demon sword "Muramasa" to Tokugawa Ieyasu, which also has a sense of warning, at this decisive moment, don't have any careful thoughts.

"Alright, go ahead! You! Come here! Hosokawa Nobumoto returned to his main seat and stood up, and hooked his finger at the junior samurai who spoke rashly, it was none other than Ito Yubing, who had just joined the ranks.

Ito walked over with his head bowed, trembling. Hosokawa Nobumoto kicked him directly on his back and rolled to the middle of the main hall.

"Okay, let's say, why are you such an important diplomatic envoy!" Nobumoto Hosokawa sat cross-legged and looked at him menacingly.

"Yes! The subordinates didn't mean to offend the lord, but Lord Hosokawa Fujitaka is also the lord of a country now, no matter how low-key and how covert he is, he can't escape the ears and eyes of those who have a heart..."Ito Yubing immediately got up from the ground and bowed respectfully on the ground, with his buttocks raised high, and he looked very useful.

"Huh?" Hosokawa Nobumoto saw his virtue, and inadvertently, he gradually took a photo of him and the monkey of Hashiba Hideyoshi. It's just the same virtue, just to climb up quickly...

"Hahaha! Hahaha! As if he saw or heard something interesting, Hosokawa Nobumoto couldn't help but laugh out loud, so frightened that Ito Yubing's face turned white, wondering if he had made a mistake? Could it be that the lord doesn't like it? Going to kill yourself?

"So can you? No one else can do it? There are not a few people in the family who can speak well, Kuroda Takataka, Konishi Ryonzo, Konishi Yukinaga, Naito Ruan, oh, and Uchijima Shiri, these are all among the best discernment talents. "Hosokawa Nobumoto would bow his head with joy every time he called a person's name.

"Yes, my Hosokawa family is full of talents, and the great achievements of your lords are also incomparable to those of your subordinates, but this diplomacy must be protracted and requires a permanent residence in Kasuga Mountain Castle. Kuroda-sama's Himeji Bei has a great responsibility to guard against the Maori family; Konishi-sama's Danma also needs to be prepared with strong soldiers and horses, which is extremely important; Naito-sama's territory is also inseparable from him, and Uonejima-sama is an indispensable and important person by Hosokawa-sama's side. "Ito Yubing's little mouth said that he should not offend anyone, but he also said that he was justified and well-founded. It seems that this Ito Yubing has done a lot of homework on the staffing of the Hosokawa family.

"What about down there?" Everyone was impressed by what he said, and even Konishi Lonzo unconsciously pointed to his nose and asked, completely taking the initiative with Ito Yubing.

"Konishi-sama has a secret identity as a businessman, which is convenient for his actions, and he can be the official of this diplomacy. The subordinates are willing to be any deputy envoy, before and after the saddle, and follow Konishi-sama to Echigo with his father, so that the motives of my Hosokawa family can be better hidden. "Ito Yubing very cleverly retreated and applied to be the deputy envoy, anyway, it was a big brother who took me to the fixed posture.

"This...", flickered, and made Ronzo Nishishi a messenger, which caught Ronzo off guard.

"Hmm... It's a slippery mouth, and what he said is reasonable..."Hosokawa Nobumoto fell into deep thought, his fingertips unconsciously tapping on the floor.

It is normal for businessmen to travel from south to north, and it is also logical for Uesugi Keikatsu to contact the wealthy merchants of Kai Town to purchase strategic materials in order to compete for the throne, and it is just right to secretly fund him. Yoshisuke Ito is now a declining daimyo, and he will not arouse the suspicion of others when he travels everywhere to seek help in recovering his country, especially the Uesugi family.

"Boom..."Ito Yubing swallowed nervously, in order to quickly rebuild the family, he had to take the initiative to undertake some difficult, high-risk, and challenging tasks, otherwise, he would have to regain his old leadership in a few years and months.

Suddenly, Hosokawa Nobumoto beckoned, summoned Asai Manfukumaru and muttered a few words.

"Yes!" Manfumaru lowered the leader's order, then stepped aside, summoned the people on duty in the hall, and said a few words.

I saw that the people on the side immediately ran quickly to the gate of the big wide room from the walls on both sides, and closed the door with a bang.

"Huh? What's going on inside? Why is the door closed? Ashigaru Shogun Fujido Takatora looked at this scene strangely.

"It must be a secret matter to be discussed, which can only be known to the important ministers." Ashigaru General Otani Yoshitsugu looked at the last person sitting in the hall before the door closed, the general Ii Naomasa. The few of them had been placed close together, but now they were separated by this gate.

When the ministers saw that the door was closed, they did not panic, knowing that what the lord was going to say next must be highly confidential. Because people outside can only know the outcome of the meeting, not even the whole process of the meeting like a remote meeting.

"What I say below is a special secret of our family, and only everyone here knows it! Once known to the outside world... Someone must have betrayed their family! Once the family is verified, it will not be tolerated! His name will be destroyed! Hosokawa Nobumoto's eagle-like eyes scanned the audience, and his deep and majestic voice shook the hearts of the ministers.

"Yes!" All the ministers bowed down in unison. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
