Chapter 52: Counter-Plotting

"Alright, alright, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, forget it. Rokuro, come with me. Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said haha, and then he was ready to leave.

"Please wait a minute, my lord!" Hosokawa Nobumoto stopped Oda Nobunaga.

"Huh? Anything else? Rokuro. Oda Nobunaga stopped and asked back, his tone obviously a little cold, if it was someone else, he would have slapped him a long time ago.

Hosokawa Nobumoto first saluted Oda Nobunaga, then turned around, stretched out his hand to Aichi Ju Amiichi and said, "Take it!" ”

"What, what?" Frightened, the Aichi Ten Ami on the ground shrank his neck.

"Maeda-sama's hairpin, don't tell me you don't know, I'll beat you until you know." Nobumoto Hosokawa looked at him condescendingly.

Aichi Juami peeked at his lord, while Oda Nobunaga was expressionless and didn't have any hints. In the samurai class, it is normal for superiors to punish subordinates, and Hosokawa Nobugen looks up to him when he beats him, as long as he doesn't kill people with a knife, he doesn't bother to care.

"Uh~uh~ to you." Aichi Ten Ami trembled and took out a hairpin from his bosom and handed it to Hosokawa Nobuyuan.

Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at Maeda Toshiya and said, "Maeda-sama, can you see if it's your hairpin?" ”

Maeda Toshiya hurriedly took it over and identified, "It's mine, it's mine." This is what Amatsu gave me, thank you, Hosokawa-sama. After speaking, he bowed to Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Okay, left, Ten Ami is also joking with you, don't take it to heart." Oda Nobunaga saw that the matter was resolved, and he did not forget to appease the Maeda Toshiya, which was tantamount to excusing Aichi Shiami in disguise.

"But my lord, Inu Chiyo is my milk name, and my subordinates are now called Mazaemon Toshiya." Maeda Toshi's brainless child is more serious, and it is true that in this era, the young name will be abandoned when the yuan is served, and only the elders or relatives who are close to the relationship can call the young name. Of course, Aichi Ten Ami is certainly not among them.

"Well~~ Well, of course I will be unhappy to be called a dog by Shi Ami with bangs. Ten Ami, it's not right for you to do this, don't be like this in the future. That's it, Rokuro, come with me. "After all, Oda Nobunaga rarely calls them by their young names in front of people now.

Returning to Oda Nobunaga's residence, after the two had been plotting together for a whole day, Hosokawa Nobumoto set off in a hurry.

"Oops~ It's too hot today." "yes, yes. Brother Sanjiulang, go and rest, I'll just stand guard here. "At the checkpoint of the Atsuta River, six Imagawa family ashigaru guards here.

"Then I'll leave it to you first, and I'll go to the rest meeting." Sankuro stretched and was about to go to the cool. "Huh? That person is so strange, and sneaky, go! Come with me and interrogate me. ”

Six ashigaru stepped forward and surrounded the stranger Sankuro had said, "Hey! Where are you from? ”

"Huh? Well, I'm from the street over there. "The person who was stopped was none other than Goemon Ishikawa.

"Which side is over there? Coming from Kasataji? Sankuro asked, following the direction of his finger.

"Oh, yes, yes." Ishikawa Goemon replied with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Huh? So where are you going? Sankuro was suspicious when he saw his performance.

"Ah, uh, yes, yes." Ishikawa Goemon couldn't answer for a while.

Sanjiuro stepped forward and grabbed him and continued to interrogate, "Ask where you are going!" Do you understand? Say! ”

"Oh, I'm going to the village ahead." Ishikawa Goemon hurriedly pointed in one direction.

"What's your name? Where is home? Sanjiuro asked nonchalantly.

"I~~ my home is near Narumi City, well, my name is Scud Missile!" Ishikawa Goemon depressedly said the name of a tongue-twister, which was specially explained by Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Fly? Hairy legs? What kind of guided? How could there be such a strange name? Sankuro had never heard of this term at all.

"Huh? What can I do to get what the lord has given me? Ishikawa Goemon suddenly said that he had leaked his mouth.

"Huh? Lord? Do you still have a lord? It's suspicious, what's in your bag? Take it out and show me. After saying that, the younger brother on the side stepped forward and grabbed the small bag on the belt of Ishikawa Goemon.

"Ah, Ya Butterfly! Ya Butterfly! Ishikawa Goemon desperately dragged his bag, but was knocked to the ground by a sidefoot with a shotgun.

"Huh? This, this is a secret letter! Sankuro found a letter from his bag, and although he didn't know how to read, he instinctively reacted that it was an unsightly secret letter.

"Ah, ~~~" Ishikawa Goemon suddenly jumped up from the ground, took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and ran towards the territory of the Oda family.

"Stop! Catch that spy! "But it didn't take long for Ishikawa Goemon to run away." Let's go, and report it to Okabe-sama. ”

"Recently, Imagawa Yoshimoto has had a lot of internal affairs, and when the shogunate is sluggish, he wants to raise troops to the west. For this reason, we will also try to make him decide to go west as soon as possible. Therefore, if Imagawa Yoshimoto marches westward, Narumi and Kasadaji will pretend to follow him, and they have already negotiated with Yamaguchi Sama Nosuke, just waiting for your order, cut off their back road, and attack the front and back of the army, and will definitely obtain the head of Imagawa Yoshimoto to dedicate to you. Okabe Motoshin jumped like thunder after reading the letter, "It's extremely hateful!" The delusional lord still trusts them so much, and they are indeed repeated villains who betrayed! ”

"Lord Okabe, this matter is a little strange, it is better to verify it again." Geshan Changjia, who started it, opened his mouth to persuade.

"Hmm~, send someone to Kasa Temple to find Tobe Shinzaemon and verify his handwriting on the spot." Okabe Motonobu can sit in the general of Chita County, and naturally he is not a fool.

It didn't take long for Tobe Masato to be recruited. "Okabe-sama is here, but what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I heard that Tobe-sama's calligraphy is good, so I would like to ask you to show it." Okabe Motoshin said quietly.

"Haha, where, where, how can a clumsy pen get into the eyes of adults? I wonder what the adults want to write below? Tobe Masato was very happy to hear others praise him.

"Oh, Tobe-sama, let's write your payment first, and then write Oda Kamisuke to read the rest." Okabe Motonobu motioned for the little surname to put on the pen inkstone.

"Huh?" Although he was puzzled, he still wrote his name according to the instructions.

Then Okabe Motoshin authenticated the signature and the secret letter, and immediately found that the writing and direction were the same, and shouted: "Tobe Masato secretly colluded with Oda Nobunaga, the evidence is conclusive, take it for me!" ”

"Huh?" Seeing that Okabe Motoshin turned his face faster than turning a book, Tobe Masanao instinctively drew his knife to resist and was killed on the spot by Katsuyama Nagaga.

"Humph! Send the letter and his head back to the Lord, and the Lord will decide the rest! ”
