Chapter 12: Undercurrents

"Woohoo! My son is only worthy of being a slave for Shangguo Jialama! This sentence has been lingering in Guo Jia's heart for more than ten days, and every time he recalls that person, it is not a taste in his heart.

Guo Jia has been wandering around Inabayama Castle for the last few days, and that's really hanging out. Look at this kind of shop, look at that kind of shop, here for nearly a month, he has nothing to do every day, learn kendo, no one teaches him, talk to those resourceful people, those people avoid him. There is no way that those things made him famous not long ago, thinking about the fact that Mino's first resourceful scheming Takenaka half-guards are all admitting defeat in his hands, isn't it humiliating for you to go and talk to others, so this group of people all saw Guo Jia and turned around and left.

But just before he knew it, an undercurrent was surging in Owari and Toe, and a group of people were plotting something. This undercurrent unexpectedly avoided Guo Jia's unknowable cloud, and even this group of well-trained ninjas could not detect it. It can be said that behind this conspiracy, if it weren't for Guo Jia's own unknowability and problematic problems, that is, the other party also had a strong ninja army. It can be said that this matter is a conspiracy against Guo Jia, and it can also be said that this matter is a contest between two ninja armies, but all this is unknown. The only thing that is known is that Imagawa Yoshimoto already has an idea about Owari.

Owari Province, Nakono Castle. noon

"There have been so many businessmen in the city recently, is this the thing that Lord Guo Jia arranged?" A faint voice came from the shadows of the alleys of the ancient wild city, full of mystery.

"I don't know, these businessmen have secretly investigated, and there is no problem." Another, older voice answered his question.

"Then how do you explain that Owari will suddenly have so many fresh faces." Their conversation should be determined to be Guo Jia's unknowable person!

"One step at a time. And the focus of Lord Guo Jia is not on this group of new faces. Don't forget that we have more important things to do. The old man's voice was low and faded away.

At this moment a man walked down the alley and noticed something and looked back, and went on with his business, and he found nothing out of the ordinary. The two people who were talking in the alley had long since disappeared.

Owari Province, Nakono Castle Tower Assembly Hall, noon

"In recent days, there have been more and more businessmen coming to the city, should Lord Guo Jia's plan be temporarily suspended?" Niwa Nagahide was discussing matters related to Guo Jia's military training with Shibata Katsuie and those who participated in the training of the Sixth Regiment of the Military Battle.

"I don't think so." It was Shibata Katsuya who spoke, "It's just a caravan, and Lord Guo Jia's plan to train troops should continue to be implemented." ”

"But there are a few more caravans coming to our Furuno these days." Hirate Masahide frowned, he also realized that something was wrong, but it was also what he thought.

"What about Takigawa Kazuki? Why hasn't he come yet? Shibata Katsuie's loud voice shouted, disrupting the thoughts of these people.

"Singer, don't be so surprised. Takigawa Kazuki is still on the way. Niwa Nagahide said lightly.

He knows a little bit about Takigawa Kazuyi's movements, there have been too many caravans in Nakono recently, and he took people to Inuyama, Morimo, and Kiyosu to investigate at that time, and now he should still be on his way back, as for whether he will come back at this meeting, it is a question.

"Report! Takigawa Kazuki-sama arrived. "Who is the fastest in the world, except for Cao Cao, who is this Takigawa Yiyi. The so-called Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. This time, you can change it to say Takigawa, and Takigawa will arrive!

Several people turned their heads to look out of the door when they heard Ashigaru's message, the capable person who led a group by himself arrived, and this person was still Guo Jia's shadow warrior.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I rushed back after receiving the message, but I was still late." The man slipped his slippers directly outside the door, walked quickly into the council hall and knelt down to the bottom position.

"What has Yiyijun heard about in the past few days?" Changxiu is worthy of being Nobuhide's retainer, and he directly pointed out the point. Now the few of them are sitting here discussing the issue of the sudden increase in a large number of caravans in Nakono.

"Kiyosu Castle, Inuyama Castle, and Suemori Castle, I have brought people to check these three cities, and I have indeed found suspicious points, and after my investigation, even the caravans in Naguye Castle are also suspicious. It had only been three days since they entered the city, and they had no problem buying and selling supplies, but they did not leave for a long time. Takigawa Kazuki said slowly. As soon as his voice fell, the brows of the two wits present furrowed.

Caravans didn't come here to collect and sell goods, but why did these caravans appear in Owari Province at the same time and did not leave after buying goods?

"What's Nobuhide-sama's reaction?" Takigawa Kazuyi then asked.

"Nobuhide-sama didn't say anything, and after I reported these things to him, Nobuhide-sama just nodded and asked me to step down." Niwa Nagahide spoke.

"Do you want to inform Master Guo Jia?" Shibata Katsuya felt that since Oda Nobuhide couldn't be the master of this kind of thing, he should notify Guo Jia immediately.

"No! Now that Lord Guo Jia is the best opportunity to develop by Lord Nobuhide's side, if we overstep in notifying Lord Guo Jia, it may bring some trouble to Lord Guo Jia! "Of course, Hirator Masahide knows the consequences of notifying Guo Jia.

"That's right, if we avoid Lord Nobuhide to inform Lord Guo Jia, it may make Lord Nobuhide suspicious." Niwa Nagahide analyzed for Shibata Katsuie, "And we have already told Nobuhide-sama about the situation, and since Nobuhide-sama said that it was okay, there was no way to inform Kuka-sama." If you go again at this time, it may make Nobuhide-sama feel that he is inferior to Mr. Guo Jia, which will make it difficult for Mr. Guo Jia. ”

"So what do you say you should do?" Shibata Katsuya is a military general, and he knows such a troublesome situation, and he himself is not Guo Jia's retainer who will not think about it so much.

"Yiyijun, did you arrange any tasks for you when Master Guo Jia left?" Niwa Nagahide lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"No comment." Takigawa Yiyi shook his head directly, Guo Jia's order was absolute, and he, as the head of the Unknown Ruyin Group, needed to carry out the Unknown to the end.

"How many of the ninja legions in Owari are left now?" Niwa Nagahide continued to keep his head down, he was analyzing, analyzing all possible backhand.

"No comment."

"How's the training of the military battle group?"

"It's almost done." This time, Takigawa Kazuyi didn't continue to say that he didn't know, because the military battle group was monitored and trained by several of them together.

"How many soldiers can be committed?"

"Less than a thousand."

Niwa Nagahide gradually raised his head and looked at Takigawa Kazuyi with a determined look in his eyes. "Yiyijun, can I ask you to go again?"

"Say."

"Mino."

Hearing Niwa Nagahide's destination, Takigawa Kazuyi frowned, then nodded. The figure disappeared directly in front of everyone.

"Huh? How did he go? No, you're a man! Didn't you say you couldn't go to Master Guo Jia? You are crazy? Shibata Katsuya looked at the place where Takigawa Kazuyi disappeared, and was very puzzled when he thought of the meeting just now.

"Now I can only let Master Guo Jia make a decision. said before that we couldn't go, that we couldn't go, it didn't mean that Master Guo Jia's shadow couldn't return to him. Niwa Nagahide shook his head, and looked at Shibata Katsuya helplessly, I really don't know why this person has such a powerful spear skill but his brain is not good.

"I don't understand." Shibata Katsuie shook his head.

"It is inevitable to inform Lord Guo Jia, but we can't go over openly, but if you think about it, as Lord Guo Jia's shadow, who can find out when he returns to his master? Moreover, there are many doubts in this matter, and Lord Guo Jia must consider it himself, and the training of the military battle group cannot be stopped! Niwa Nagahide explained. Disperse and go about your business. ”

Owari Province, XX Castle, Castle Tower, Night.

"How?"

"Not how!"

"Then there's nothing to talk about?"

"I won't betray!"

"And what about your status?"

"This ...... All in all, I won't betray! ”

"Come to me when you figure it out."

The conversation between the two people in the dark broke up again.

Minokoku, Inabayama Castle, evening.

Guo Jia was in a small shop at this time, holding a string of dumplings (balls similar to doughnuts, sweets) in his hand, eating one bite at a time, he has recently become obsessed with the sweets here, which are very antique.

Can there be no antique smell! Guo Jia smiled self-deprecatingly and attracted the attention of everyone in the store, but he didn't notice this and smiled to himself. "I didn't expect my Guo Jia to taste the flavor of 500 years ago! Eh, don't I eat something from 500 years ago every day? ”

When the people in the store saw Guo Jia's smile, they thought that they might have encountered something crazy, so they left the shop one after another, and even the owner of the store looked at Guo Jia with a strange gaze.

"Boss, one more string." Guo Jia put down the wooden skewer in his hand and turned back to greet the boss. He took out a few copper coins and put them on the table. "Take it away."

The boss quickly helped Guo Jia get dressed, put it in a paper bag, and stretched out his hand to Guo Jia from afar.

Guo Jia took the bag and walked directly outside the store, planning to find another antique snack bar to try. His eyes lit up when he found a snack shop, sushi! In his previous life, when he was an employee of a small company, he couldn't afford to eat this kind of high-end food, but this time he was able to feast here. More money! Wayward!

He walked briskly into the sushi restaurant and greeted the owner.

The owner of the sushi restaurant quickly served Guo Jia a small plate and cup, as well as a bottle of sake. So Guo Jia ate a bite of sake and a bite of sushi!

Minokoku, Inabayama Castle, castle tower

"Is Master Guo Jia here?" A person walked to the gate of Inabayama Castle Tower, looked at the soldiers standing guard and asked.

"Lord Guo Jia is not in the city tower at this time, he went out earlier."

These soldiers recalled the arrival of Guidie and Guo Jia a few days ago, and recalled that every time Saito Michizo's resourcefulness came, they had to ask about Guo Jia, and once Guo Jia was in them, they would turn their heads and leave, as if Guo Jia was a terrible demon.

"Got it." The person who came was none other than Takigawa Kazuki, and his feet were fast. It only took one afternoon to come from Nakono Castle to Inabayama Castle, but he didn't find Guo Jia when he came here.

"Come on! One more pot! At this time, Guo Jia had already drunk too much in the sushi restaurant, he was lying on the table and talking drunk, and he didn't know about the arrival of Takigawa Kazuki.
