In a few moments, the door to the chamber creaked open. It seems that Nobunaga has a good complexion, and the reason why he came a little late is because he just met with the person sent by Takigawa Kazuyi, who was in charge of the Northern Ise Raider, to deliver information.

At present, the 8 wealthy families around Nagashima Castle have all declared their submission under the pressure of Oda Nobunaga's army, although the strength of these 8 wealthy families in Northern Ise is very weak, and the total number of Zhixing is less than 10,000 koku, but this is a good beginning, and since the return of these 8 wealthy families, Nagashima Castle has also become a lonely city.

Even if Takigawa Kazuyi did not launch a single attack on Nagashima Castle during this time, Nobunaga was already satisfied with this. After all, compared to the whole of Kita-Ise, Nagashima Castle is nothing at all.

Before the outbreak of Ichiyi, Oda Nobunaga had plans to include Ise Ichikoku in the scope of the power, but it was too chaotic there, and he didn't want to put all his energy there, so he didn't do it, and now that he has always been a leader, he has to devote some of his energy to solving the Ise problem.

After Nobunaga came to the throne and sat down, he asked, "What has Senbei done lately?" ”

Hatsune didn't dare to make eye contact with Oda Nobunaga, still bowing his head and said: "Back to the lord, Takayama-sama has decided to go out to Okazaki Castle tomorrow to fight a decisive battle with the army outside the city, and the day before yesterday, I sent my retainer Wasuka Masakatsu to send a letter to send an evaluation and make an appointment to join the army." ”

Nobunaga nodded, then stood up and paced around Hatsune non-stop. Seeing this, Hatsune immediately became nervous, could it be that he leaked his mouth just now, and the lord found out about his meeting with Takayama-sama? She quickly thought about what she had just said, and after making sure that she had not missed anything, she boldly asked, "I don't know what else the lord commands?" ”

Nobunaga came to her again and said condescendingly: "You go and inform Senbei and ask him to help the Matsudaira family pacify Mikawa within three months." ”

"It's the lord, and my subordinates will go and inform ...... Ah, lord, as a subordinate, how can you meet directly with the retainers. Please also think twice. Hatsune said uneasily, but she had a hint of anticipation.

I only heard the letter grow and said angrily: "Bastard, so far, do you still want to deceive me again?" ”

"Genus... His subordinates didn't dare ......," Hatsune said with a look of horror on her face. She was now sure that her meeting with Lord Takayama had been known to the lord, but in order not to implicate the clan, she could only answer vaguely, and she had a plan to take it on her own.

"Hmph, don't you dare, then what's on your waist?" Nobunaga snorted coldly and said.

Hatsune hurriedly looked at his waist, only to see that his waist was inserted with a rib given to him by Takayama-sama, for this rib, although Nobunaga had not looked at it carefully before, but the clan often dangled in front of Nobunaga, and every time he carried this thing around his waist, even if Nobunaga didn't pay attention to it, but with his exquisite appearance, he could have some impressions, besides, a ninja had a rib in his waist, didn't it seem strange.

So as soon as he sat down, he had already found out, and Nobunaga had been waiting for her explanation, but Hatsune missed this opportunity, not only did not explain, but also perfunctory Nobunaga, but how could Nobunaga be so easily fooled by his subordinates?

At this time, Hatsune has completely given up, if she confessed before, there may still be a chance to explain, but now she knows that she will not escape death today, for death, Hatsune is not afraid, as long as she lives in the world, who can escape death, and if there is no lord, I am afraid that she would have been buried in the wilderness.

Now that her greatest wish has been fulfilled, Hatsune has died without regrets, but it's not a pity that she died, but when she thinks of Takayama-sama, she can't help but feel sorry again. …,

Hatsune couldn't help but secretly hate herself, blaming herself for being careless and not keeping the ribs given by Takayama-sama properly, otherwise the lord would definitely not find out about his meeting with Takayama-sama. But what is the use of all this, now I can only ask the Lord to be gracious, and not to be angry with Lord Gaoshan.

Thinking of this, Hatsune became more relaxed. She knew her end, and she was no longer afraid, so she just heard her say plainly: "Lord, Hatsune knows that he has disobeyed the lord's order, and there is also deceiving the lord, so there is only one death, to thank the lord for his many years of nurturing grace, but before he died, his subordinates have something to show to the lord, and the subordinates and Takayama-sama meet, it is also a last resort, at that time, Takayama-sama was about to be assassinated, if the subordinates don't stop it in time, I'm afraid the Oda family will lose a pillar, Moreover, Takayama still does not know the identity of the adults under the Dao, and this matter is not the fault of Takayama-sama, and I ask the Lord to be gracious and spare Takayama-sama. ”

After Hatsune finished speaking, she pulled out Muramasa without warning and smiled slightly, thinking to herself that if she could die today under the sharp blade given by Takayama-sama, she would have died a well-deserved death.

I saw her holding the ribs and quickly stabbing at the throat. Just as Hatsune committed suicide, Nobunaga, who was not far from her, lifted a kick and directly kicked the ribs in her hand out of the air. Furious: "Bastard, I haven't finished my sentence yet, are you in a hurry to die?" ”。 After Nobunaga finished speaking, he stared at Hatsune with that sharp gaze.

"Subordinates, there is a great trust from the lord, and only those who have died have come to apologize to the lord." Although Hatsune's face was covered by a ninja towel, from her tone, she could still hear that she had made up her mind, as long as the lord did not pursue this matter and Takayama-sama's responsibility, she would die without regrets.

Nobunaga paced around the chamber for a while, and then asked coldly, "Do you already have a crush on Senbei?" Nobunaga's words, though still cold, did not look like they showed signs of anger.

Hatsune saw that this was the end of the matter, and there was nothing to hide. I couldn't help but nod. I only heard her reply: "Back to the lord, my subordinates are indeed in love with Lord Takayama, but Lord Takayama doesn't know about this matter, it is all done by one person, if the lord wants to punish the crime, then please cure the crime of Hatsune." "Hatsune is not even afraid of death now, is she still afraid that Nobunaga will not succeed in curing the crime, she only wants to exchange her own death for the peace of the Takayama clan.

Nobunaga saw that Hatsune really had a love for Senbei, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, Nobunaga couldn't help but recall that back then, Hatsune was still an ignorant little girl, and he didn't know what to do, not only did the ghost send the god to save her life, but also obeyed her wishes, and sent her to Koga to learn ninjutsu, and when she returned from learning, she trusted her more, and the degree of trust has exceeded that of several other ninjas directly under the family.

Nobunaga couldn't help but think that Hatsune had been with him for ten years, and compared to her own children, she had been by her side much longer than them. Although Nobunaga is extremely strict with others, he always has a trace of patience for Hatsune and does not know what to do.

He had never intended to let Hatsune follow him for the rest of his life, and since she grew up, Nobunaga wanted to find the right time, find someone who was absolutely loyal to him, and marry her off, but when he thought of her sensitive identity, even the always decisive Nobunaga couldn't help but hesitate.

Although before this, he had already thought that sooner or later there would be such a day, so there was a solution, but if it was used by someone with a heart, if it was not handled well, it would bring unexpected disasters to the Oda family, so this matter could only be postponed again and again. …,

Now that she has a love affair with a thousand soldiers, should she kill Hatsune or let her fend for herself? It's really a headache.,But,When Nobunaga thought about Senbei again.,Originally, he wanted to wait for Hatsune to return this time.,Don't let him continue to monitor Senbei.,After all, from his performance in the past few years,In addition to this time Mikawa took the initiative to ask for war,You can still be completely trusted.,Nobunaga is very happy with his idea of not caring about personal gains and losses.,Just think about the Oda family.,So since the destruction of Toki Castle,He has the heart to wait for him to return from Mikawa.,Vigorously promote.,Even the new Zhixing has been selected for him.,But who knows, Now it's happening again.

Nobunaga couldn't help but think that if he let Hatsune marry the clan as a side room, it would be fine, he was not afraid of Hatsune's leaks, because long before this, Nobunaga had already figured out a way to kill two birds with one stone, if a direct ninja like Hatsune really told other retainers about this, Nobunaga would immediately inform the retainers that he sent these ninjas was just secretly investigating the retainers, and if they were outstanding, they would definitely be reused in the future, and Nobunaga did this, all the retainers he had inspected, At the end of the day, they have basically been reused.

At that time, I am afraid that the retainers will not only not have an opinion on this, but will also be proud to be secretly examined by themselves. Thinking of this, Nobunaga's face softened, and he only heard him say to Hatsune: "From now on, you have nothing to do with the Oda family, and the previous grievances have been written off, do you understand?" ”。

Hatsune doesn't understand the reason.,The lord's words are clearly no longer pursuing this matter.,And give freedom.,The most important thing.,The lord doesn't object to being with Takayama-sama.,Hatsune suddenly saw that she felt that she was the happiest girl in the world.。

Hatsune picked up the ribs and walked away quickly, after Hatsune retired, Nobunaga did not leave immediately, he couldn't help but think that the clan was a smart person, although Hatsune did not reveal his identity, but it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered in the future, he was not afraid that he would be able to play any tricks, and even if he knew, he would never spread it everywhere, but if there was a gap between him and his retainers, it would be a bit more than worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Nobunaga couldn't help but scold: "You bastard Senbei, why do you bother me every time because of women's things" Nobunaga scolded and relieved his anger, he opened the door of the secret room and walked out of the ...... quickly,
