In the house of Sumamata, Oda Nobunaga was considering the pros and cons, and after a long time, he asked, "In that case, how sure are you that Rokuro will be able to recruit this Takenaka Hanbei?" ”

"This~~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto was speechless, this Takenaka Hanbei is a loyal person, if it weren't for the fact that Saito Ryuxing was too ridiculous later, he wouldn't have run away.

"Huh? Could it be that you just said casually, and there is no substantive solution? Oda Nobunaga looked at Hosokawa Nobunaga's speech, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Uh~~This~~" Hosokawa Nobumoto really can't say that the loyal Takenaka Hanbei can't tell Oda Nobunaga that it won't be long before there will be an incident of 'sixteen people outwitting Inabayama'.

"Bastard! Are you just a fluttering word! And didn't you take me into account! I! Oda Nobunaga stood up suddenly, walked up to Hosokawa Nobumoto angrily, and just wanted to kick it, but after thinking about it, he endured it. Never mind! Next time, we will not be allowed to say such unfounded suggestions. ”

"Yes, then your majesty will retire first." Hosokawa Nobumoto came out ashamed, and when he looked back, it seemed that Oda Nobunaga was very angry.

Although Sumamata counterattacked with a small victory, Oda Nobunaga had no interest in fighting again and gave the order to withdraw. However, because the Ink Mata has not yet been built, he can only endure the pain and abandon it, he has already lost a younger brother, and he does not want to repeat the mistakes of the Nineteen Points.

Besides, this Oda Hirora's own brother is Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle, and it is estimated that his death will make Oda Nobukiyo even more dissatisfied.

Hosokawa Nobumoto, who returned to Devon City, learned that Hattori Hanzo had returned, and after so long without his service guards, Hosokawa Nobumoto was really not used to it, so he quickly called in to find out about the current situation of Mikawa.

"Back to the lord, this time your subordinates led his companion Shichiro and eighty ninjas to infiltrate the Mikawa Country, in order to achieve the mission of the Lord Bus: 'to cause chaos in the Mikawa Country'. Fortunately, the mission has basically been achieved, and now some areas have begun to show results, and others do not need to be guided, and they will slowly ferment, and finally achieve a hidden effect, and no one can find out that it is from the hands of their own family. Hattori Hanzo then explained in detail the specific content of the entire operation, which provoked Hosokawa Nobumoto to applaud again and again.

At the same time, in the castle tower of Sunfu, the Imagawa clan really had a headache, a real headache. Since his father, Imagawa Yoshimoto, was killed in a surprise attack by Oda Nobunaga in the Battle of Barrel Sama, and he inherited the family governor, he wanted to raise troops to avenge his father's blood hatred. But suddenly, I received a series of informant reports, claiming that rumors were spreading in such and such a place, and that a certain retainer intended to rebel, and the words were all reasonable and well-founded, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The first unlucky child was Nao-i, and it was rumored that when Matsudaira Motoyasu raised troops to rebel in Dataka Castle, Nao-i's help was given, and there was a suspicion of breaking away from the Imagawa family to join the Matsudaira family.

The Imagawa clan didn't dare to be sloppy, and immediately invited the parties to come to verify it, but it could only prove that Matsudaira Motoyasu's rebellion could not be the defection of the real Ii Naokin. However, due to the rumors spread by Hattori Hanzo, what Gao Ming is saying is indeed nine points true, and only one point is false, which naturally greatly increases the credibility.

In the end, what caused the Imagawa clan to really kill was a good sentence from Ono Michi, during the battle between the barrel and the narrows, the two families did exchange letters, as for what was written, he didn't know. So the Imagawa clan seemed to understand everything, and immediately ordered Asahina Taichao to lead his troops to Ii Valley Castle, attacked and killed Ii Naokin, and Hattori Hanzo also took the opportunity to save Ii Naokin's wife and concubine from the Imagawa family, and successfully completed the task specially assigned by Hosokawa Nobumoto.

In addition, such as Hamamatsu Castle Lord Iio Renlong, Mifu Castle Lord Horikoshi, Inui Castle Lord Amano Keiyasu and other Mikawa wealthy clans were also convicted of rumors and were killed or expelled by Miura Masatoshi, a real minister of the Imagawa clan. As a result, everyone in the Imagawa family is now in danger, and the Mikawa country is in turmoil, and the Imagawa clan really no longer has the energy to avenge his father.

"Get up, you said your name is Master Ijiro Naotora?" Hosokawa Nobumoto looked at the person kneeling down and asked, pretending not to know.

"It's in the next, thanks to Hosokawa-sama's rescue this time, Zai and the dog were able to get out of danger, thank you Hosokawa-sama again." Jing Yi Naohu kowtowed and thanked him, and he kept lamenting in his heart that his life was miserable.

When she was just born in the 12th year of Astronomy (1543), she was promised to be married to her cousin Ii Naokin, because her father, Ii Naomori, the head of the Ii family, had no son, and her birth also cut off her father's thoughts, and let Ii Naoqin inherit the family governor as a son-in-law and adopted son.

In the 13th year of Astronomy (1544), when she was just one year old, there was a disaster in her family, because of the slander of the old man Kono Michitaka (Dao Hao his father), her husband's father Ii Naomitsu and his younger brother Ii Naoyoshi were forced to commit suicide, and Ii Naoshi fled to Shinano Province alone, leaving her behind a miserable life and forced to become a nun at Longtan Monastery.

In the first year of Koji (1555), Ono Michitaka died, and finally looked forward to her husband, but she was told that her husband married the daughter of Okuyama's family as the main family during his escape, and he could only dissolve the marriage contract with her, and she was abandoned again.

In the battle of Barrel Sasa, her father Ii Naomori died in battle, and the Ii family had no heir, so she had to continue the front and let her remarry Ii Nao, who would inherit the family governor. But the good times didn't last long, and just after returning home to prepare for the wedding, because of Ono's good words, the Iyi family suffered again, and they became widows.

Hosokawa Nobumoto carefully looked at the well in front of him, she was twenty years old and was in her prime, her facial features were delicate and her face was cold and handsome, and there was a tenacity in her eyes, thinking that it should be the kind of character who was resilient and did not easily confide in her heart.

"Be my side room." Hosokawa Nobumoto suddenly came up with such a sentence, simple and crude.

"This~~" Ii Naohu frowned obviously, obviously thinking that Hosokawa Nobumoto was interested.

"I can guarantee your safety, and in addition, I will let Hu Song, the son of Jing Yi's direct relatives, be my side, and I will let him inherit Jing Yi's family in the future. And you made my side room, and I also allowed you to continue to fight and make meritorious contributions as a female samurai, laying a solid foundation for the Ii family in advance. Hosokawa Nobumoto made his own conditions.

"Since Hosokawa-sama said so, please think about it for a few days and give you an answer in three days." Jing Yi Naohu did not categorically refuse, to be honest, she is also at a loss now, as a woman in troubled times, she has always been a pawn used by the family for marriage, and her life exists precisely for this.
