Soharu Tsugawa was depressed.

I had fallen asleep peacefully, and even dreamed of some indescribable scene, which would normally sleep until dawn, but I was woken up.

Sleepy-eyed struggled to sit up from the tatami mat, and before he could call someone, Yajima Tadabei had already pushed open the door outside, "My lord, there was a sudden fire outside." The wind is strong tonight, and the fire is helping the wind to burn especially fast! Please evacuate first, otherwise the fire will burn here! ”

"How did it catch fire? Is it known that the cause of the fire was caused by Oda Nobuyo's faction? Soharu Tsugawa got dressed, then picked up Toki Munemitsu and walked out of the room.

Yajima Tadabei carefully guarded the left and right, "It shouldn't be Oda Nobuyo's doing, the fire is burning from the izakaya side, and Ashigaru in Kiyosu Castle has already gone to put out the fire." The castle town is in chaos now, for the sake of the lord's safety, why don't you enter Kiyosu Castle for a while? ”

"No!" Soji Tsugawa shook his head, "This fire is strange, and no one here can believe it until the purpose of the arson is determined. If you rashly enter Kiyosu City, if this matter is done by Oda Nobutomo and others, then won't the main family become a turtle in an urn? ”

"Command to go down, gather troops, and hold this hostel." Soji Tsugawa said as he looked left and right, then pulled Yajima Tadabei aside and whispered, "Take off your clothes!" ”

"Huh?"

......

"Zhongbei, what kind of material are you wearing, why are you so uncomfortable to wear on your body!" Soji Tsugawa complained while tidying up the corners of his clothes.

Sitting in the middle of the courtyard of the inn, Yajima Tadabei was flattered and replied, "The clothes below are naturally not as exquisite as the lord's, please don't blame the lord!" ”

"Okay, you sit here honestly, and I'll be on duty tonight!" Tsugawa Soji was afraid of death and was also afraid of a realm, so he directly asked Yajima Tadabei to change clothes with himself, and to put it bluntly, he let Yajima Tadabei block the knife for himself.

Leaving Yajima Tadabei in the hostel, Soji Tsugawa quietly walked out.

Gamo Hisakiyo and Takagi Yoshitoki and others at the door just thought that Yajima Tadabei had come out, and they were about to step forward to ask if Tsugawa Soji had gotten up, but after suddenly seeing the face of the person who came, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to salute.

Tsugawa Soji hurriedly stopped Kamo and Jiuqing with his eyes, and then whispered, "Don't make a noise, this is the family's strategy." ”

"Haha!" Gamo Hisashi and Takagi Yoshitoki were not stupid people either, and quickly understood the meaning of Tsugawa Soji's words, and then each turned around vigilantly to look at the raging fire in front of them.

Oda Nobutomo was also quarreled at this time, and when he learned that there was a fire in the castle town, Oda Nobuyomo's first reaction was to send someone to protect the safety of Tsugawa Soji. However, he was soon stopped by a retainer.

"My lord, the fire broke out in the middle of the night, and it was a time of chaos. At this time, I think that the family should not send someone to protect the Tsugawa Temple, but should quickly command the troops to put out the fire, and block the castle town, and arrest the person who set the fire! ”

Oda Nobuyo asked puzzledly: "Tsugawa Hall has a noble status, if something happens in the family's territory, such a crime can not be borne by the family, how can it not send troops to protect it?" ”

"The lord is wrong in what he said! The family sent troops at this time, but the Tsugawa family thought that the fire was committed by the family, and the lord wanted to kill the life of the Tsugawa Palace! "Niwa Nagamasa is not strictly a direct minister of Oda Nobutomo, and Niwa Nagamasa, who was born in the Owari Niwa family, has always been close to Spo Yoshimasa.

"Well, Changzheng is right!" After thinking about it for a while, Oda Nobutomo continued, "In this case, then Nagamasa will lead people to extinguish the fire, and then send someone to inform Sakai Daizen to block the castle town, and the person who set the fire must be found!" ”

"Ha~ha!"

........

In charge of guarding the castle town was Sakai Daizen Daijin, the son of Kansuke Itai, a retainer of the Kiyosu Oda family.

Although Oda Nobutomo supported the puppet Spo Yoshitomo to achieve the goal of stabilizing the family, in fact, the Kiyosu Oda family did not completely obey Oda Nobuyomo's orders. At least the Sakai family and the Kawajiri family, the two important ministers of the Kiyosu Oda family, are very powerful.

After receiving the order from Oda Nobuntomo, Sakai Daizen Daijin reluctantly led a few teams of Ashigaru to block the entrances to the castle town, and then let several Ashigaru heads under his command patrol around with Ashigaru.

On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga and the others did not leave immediately after setting the fire.

In fact, Ikeda Tsuneko, Murai Sadakatsu and others wanted to run with Oda Nobunaga, but Oda Nobunaga had to stay and watch the whole process of the spread of the fire, because he didn't want to leave.

There was no way, Ikeda Hengxing and the others had to stay together.

"Well, that's spectacular!" Looking at the castle town in front of him, which was ravaged by the fire, Oda Nobunaga said with a look of admiration with his hands crossed, as if he was admiring a beautiful picture.

"Such a fire, coupled with the sudden strong wind tonight, is the time of day! If it continues like this, the fire will not be brought under control until at least tomorrow morning, but by then, the castle town of Kiyosu Castle must have already been reduced to rubble! ”

"Hmm, my father's praise for me already comes to mind! Compared to the tie, the old man will be full of praise when he learns about it, it's a beautiful attack! Oda Nobunaga talked to himself for a long time, then clapped his hands and turned around and said, "It's almost time, let's get ready to return to Nakono Castle!" ”

"Young master, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave, Oda Yamatomori's people are already coming towards us!" Just as Oda Nobunaga and the others were about to evacuate, Sasa Narimasa, who was in charge of the sentry in front after lighting the fire, ran over and said with a panicked face.

"Well, that's hard!" Oda Nobunaga couldn't help frowning, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then continued, "Since that's the case, then we just won't leave!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, there's a hostel not far ahead, so let's settle there tonight!" After speaking, before Ikeda Hengxing and the others could answer, Oda Nobunaga had already taken the lead in walking.

Seeing this, Murai Sadakatsu on the side hurriedly persuaded him, "The young master can't, this place is so dangerous, for the sake of the young master's safety, it's better for me to leave early!" ”

"Panic what!" Oda Nobunaga was angry, "The main family and the Yamato Mamoru family are now in harmony, Oda Yamato Mamoru dare to easily disadvantage my Nobunaga?" ”

"Besides, if you don't say, who knows that we set this fire? Relax, isn't it up to me to take care of what happens! With that, Oda Nobunaga patted Murai Sadakatsu and Ikeda Tsuneko on the chest, then turned around and hummed an unknown tune and walked to a hostel in his memory.

......

Outside the Kano House, Soji Tsugawa also leaned against the wall and looked at the fire in the castle town, his face was as usual.

Even Soji Tsugawa vaguely asked about a fragrance, if there is a little cumin fragrance in it, isn't this a barbecue? Of course, it's human flesh that's roasting here......
