Chapter 284: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots

"Tanuki for the prince?" Asakura Yoshikage and the others looked at each other, obviously not knowing this allusion at all. Moreover, I am afraid that in this era, no one will know this allusion at all. This is the story in the famous "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness" at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

"Exactly, the story of the tanuki changing the prince is like this..."Hosokawa Nobumoto briefly explained the general content of this story, and several of them listened to it with relish.

"Hosokawa-sama is saying... Are we looking for a tanuki too? But where to find it? The little major general stupidly thought that he really replaced it with a tanuki, which made Hosokawa Nobumoto happy.

"What does Rokuro mean?" Asakura Yoshikage seemed to understand something.

"That's right, find a child of the same age to replace Aiwangmaru." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, although this kind of thing is extremely unfair to another child, but sometimes people are so selfish.

"Thank you Rokuro for your advice, I understand, let me find it, child." Asakura Yoshifuge gave a salute, and naturally took over this disgraceful thing.

"yes, okay." Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at Asakura Yoshikage, who got up and left, and didn't know whether he was accumulating virtue or creating evil by doing this, and he couldn't help but feel in a trance in his heart.

After a while, Asakura Yoshikage brought in another child about three years old, who seemed to be a waiter. Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't ask much, not knowing the origin of this child, maybe he would be more at ease.

"Is that going to kill yourself now, or is it?" Asakura Yoshikage seems to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"It's better to meet the lord below as much as possible, and then ask for mercy below, maybe there will be a turnaround." Hosokawa Nobumoto thinks that it is better to let Asakura Yoshikyo go, if he can not die, it is the best, if he still follows the trend of history, then this latter move can only be used.

Subsequently, Hosokawa Nobumoto escorted Asakura Yoshikage and others to Ichijo Valley Castle, which had already been captured by the Oda army at this time and became the temporary residence of Oda Nobunaga.

Halfway through, I saw a group of people galloping over on the avenue, and the banner was the bellflower pattern of the wise family.

"Wise Lord?" Hosokawa Nobugen urged him to step forward, he had already sent a messenger to report to Oda Nobunaga first, but he didn't expect Akechi Mitsuhide to come.

"Hahaha! Hosokawa-sama, congratulations, this is a good achievement. Akechi Mitsuhide turned over and dismounted, and saluted Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"What kind of happy event is this, I am still preparing to intercede with the lord for the Chaocang Palace, why are you here?" Hosokawa Nobumoto also got off the horse and returned the salute, he and Akechi Mitsuhide will be in-laws in the future, and I heard that Chi Yuanzi is becoming more and more beautiful and cute.

"Uh... That's the case, I'm afraid that the Asakura Hall won't be able to get to the lord..."Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Asakura Yoshikage in the team with a little regret.

"Is that so?" Hosokawa Nobunaga was a little disappointed, and Oda Nobunaga was a little too unkind, so he could bring Asakura Yoshikage over and pleaded with him.

"Don't be so disappointed, the lord will not tolerate the fact that the Asakura Hall is still alive, and it is based on this consideration that he let me come down to send the Asakura Hall a ride." Akechi Mitsuhide patted Hosokawa Nobumoto on the shoulder, and then walked alone to Asakura Yoshikage.

"What about the others?" Hosokawa Nobumoto turned around and shouted at the back of Akechi Mitsuhide, who waved his hand and did not answer.

"Hey, hey, hey... The lord said, let the family members who escorted the Asakura hall leave. A shrill voice sounded behind him.

"Monkey!" Hosokawa Nobugen didn't need to look at it to know who it was, turned his head in disgust, and saw Kinoshita Hideyoshi coming over with a thief's face.

"Don't call me a monkey!" Kinoshita Hideyoshi screamed like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"Humph! You're afraid you kid didn't hold back any good fart! Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at him with disdain, and became more and more disgusted with what he did, greedy, lustful, and vicious.

"Humph! You don't care about this, this is the lord's trust in me! Kinoshita Hideyoshi walked towards Asakura Yoshikei and the others with his head held high, as if he was a villain.

"Hey..."Hosokawa Nobumoto sighed and walked towards Asakura Yoshikage. He originally thought that Kinoshita Hideyoshi was simple and honest, but after a long time of contact, he realized that he was stingy and cunning, and he was a standard guy who betrayed his teammates.

No wonder Shibata Katsuie, Sasa Narumasa and others look down on him, not because of his humble background, but because of his bad conduct. You must know that Takikawa Kazuki is a ninja, and he is also not very good, but he has not been excluded.

"I know, please allow me to find a quiet place in the next place." Asakura Yoshikei bowed to Akechi Mitsuhide, apparently knowing the news that had made him commit suicide.

"His Royal Highness Asakura." Hosokawa Nobumoto wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a wave of Asakura Yoshikage.

"Hehe, Your Highness Asakura, your family can be handed over to your subordinates with peace of mind. Hey, hey, hey..."Kinoshita Hideyoshi had a cheap monkey expression, and the corner of his eye glanced at Asakura Yoshikage's beautiful concubines.

"Hosokawa-sama, please!" Asakura Yoshijing solemnly bowed his head and saluted, and the things entrusted to him were self-evident.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my promise!" Hosokawa Nobumoto accepted this salute calmly, and his expression was extremely sincere.

"Then I'll take my leave." As he spoke, Asakura Yoshikage found an elegant landscape, faced the sun, crossed his knees, and began to adjust his mentality before seppuku.

"Hey, hey!" As soon as Kinoshita Hideyoshi waved his hand, his men brutally dragged Asakura Yoshikage's family out of the crowd.

Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at all this calmly, without hindrance or anger. Akechi Mitsuhide observed Hosokawa Nobumoto curiously and thoughtfully.

Suddenly, a high-pitched singing voice came, and it was Asakura Yoshikei who wrote his farewell sentence:

"Upside down, forty years.

There is no other self, the four essences are empty. ”

Then, Asakura Yoshikyo calmly committed suicide by seppuku, and Torii Keijin assisted him in intersecting his mistakes, and Takahashi Keiye then committed suicide and went with the lord.

"Your Highness Hosokawa, please take care of me in the future!" Torii Kei settled down Asakura Yoshikage's body and respectfully handed a brocade box to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Okay, I'll ask for a lot of attention from Toi-sama in the future." Hosokawa Nobumoto took the brocade box and turned around and handed it to Akechi Mitsuhide.

Akechi Mitsuhide took the brocade box and looked at Torii Keikin suspiciously, wondering why he had switched to the Hosokawa family, and it seemed that he was just the kind of diner.

Afterwards, Akechi Mitsuhide learned that Hosokawa Nobumoto had adopted an adopted son, who is said to be the son of this Torii Keijin. It's just that what he doesn't know is that this child is actually Asakura Yoshikage's son-in-law, Aiomaru. And what he and Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't know was that the child who died in place was actually the biological flesh and blood of Torii Keijin.
