Mamoru Ando was taken down by Saito Ryuxing's flagbook, and during the time Saito Ryuxing said that he was going to detain him to the time he was taken down, Mamoru Ando didn't say a word, and kept the same expression, that is, with a bewildered face......

Yes, he just looked confused, because he couldn't imagine that Saito Ryuxing would really dare to lock him up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info know that he is Mamoru Ando! The boss of the Nishimino trio! A person with absolute influence in Nishiminon! Even if it is because of Saito Ryuxing's suppression over the years, it has only slightly reduced Ando's influence, and it has only made him more honest.

But now, such an important minister was directly imprisoned by Saito Ryuxing? And just a letter that I don't know if it's true or not? You must know that at this moment, the Oda army is constantly attacking the city in Higashimino, and at the same time, the troops of Oda Yoshinobu and Shibata Katsuie are also on standby at Sumamata Castle.

Once the news of Mamoru Ando's imprisonment spreads, what will Naomoto, the clan who defended Omi, think? What will Ryotsu Inaba, who is monitoring Sumamata in Daheng Castle, think? You must know that since the third era of Saito Michi, the three of Nishimino began to advance and retreat together. Well, they did send their eldest son to Inabayama Castle as a hostage, but even so, Saito Ryuko is playing with fire.

How could Saito Ryuko not know this? And he couldn't tell whether the letter was true or not. But even so, he had to detain Ando Mamoru for a very simple reason, Ando Mamoru did not report to him after meeting with the people of the Oda family, and at the same time, Ando Mamoru told Saito Ryuxing that Ando Mamoru did not completely refuse to surrender the Oda family.

Of course, this is very hasty and can easily cause a commotion, but Saito Ryuxing can't care so much, and now that this emergency situation has almost lost his judgment and calm heart.

But when Mamoru Ando was imprisoned, he began to regret it again, because if this matter could not be settled, it would definitely lead to very serious consequences. And this result is something that Saito Ryuxing can't afford now.

But let Saito Ryuxing release Mamoru Ando now? Well, he really can't pull that face. Quickly walked to the room, and the irritability in his heart made Saito Ryuxing eager to cut a few people to relieve his anger.

It's just that when Saito Ryuko returned to the room, he saw Takenaka Shigeharu waiting outside the door, and when he saw Saito Ryuko, Takenaka Shigeji immediately said, "My lord! Ando-sama is innocent! You have to trust him! ”

Hearing this, Saito Ryuxing's already irritable mood in his heart became even more angry, "Innocent?!" Then why didn't he tell me directly after contacting the people of the Oda family?! Saito Ryuko roared angrily, and the sound could be heard almost by the entire castle tower.

Hearing this, Shigeharu Takenaka was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know how to answer, because this matter was indeed not authentic for Mamoru Ando, even if it was replaced by him, it was impossible not to suspect that he would not report it in the face of the fact that his retainers had contact with hostile forces.

"What? Can't speak, right? Tell you! Now, if it weren't for the Oda Army invading Mino, I would have just killed Mamoru Ando for that bastard! Saito Ryuxing said angrily, and then went straight to Takenaka Shigeharu to go back to the room, he was now full of anger, and he had to find something to vent.

It's just that as soon as he turned around, he felt that one of his legs was being hugged, and he turned his head to look, who was it not Shigeharu Takenaka?

"My lord! Please let Ando-sama go! Now that the Oda family is invading Higashimino, there can't be any more chaos on Nishimino's side! Shigeharu Takenaka shouted pleadingly, he didn't know how to help Mamoru Ando persuade Ryuxing Saito, but he knew very well that he couldn't let Mamoru Ando be locked up like this.

This is not only because Mamoru Ando is his father-in-law, but more importantly, as he said, once the news of Mamoru Ando's detention spreads, how can there be no chaos on Nishimino's side? And if something goes wrong, then the Saito family is really finished.

It's just that although this sounds reasonable, it also depends on the object of the occasion, especially Saito Ryuko's anger is full of nowhere to vent, and Shigeharu Takenaka didn't hit the wall headlong when he said this.

Sure enough, when Saito Ryuko heard Shigeharu Takenaka's words, his face suddenly became gloomy and terrifying. "Why, one Ando Shou will make all of Nishimino rebel? Could it be that the dominance of the family in Nishimino is not as good as the prestige of Mamoru Ando? ”

"This ......" Shigeharu Takenaka opened his mouth, and suddenly there was nothing to say, because he suddenly realized that whatever he said was wrong. In the end, he could only keep praying, "Lord! Please let Ando-sama go......"

"Enough!" Saito Ryuxing stood up angrily, kicked him before Shigeharu Takenaka could react, and kicked him directly to the ground.

"Shigeharu Takenaka! You have to remember that you are only my retainer! The whole Mino is also my Saito Ryuko! No matter who you lose, that doesn't change! The only thing you have to do now is not to talk to me about whether Mamoru Ando has rebelled or not, but how to deal with the Oda army! Saito Ryuko roared angrily and immediately ordered someone to drive Takenaka out of the country.

"Lord!" Shigeharu Takenaka struggled and shouted, but unfortunately he didn't see Saito Ryuko turn around until Saito's figure disappeared in front of his eyes.

"Damn!" Shigeharu Takenaka stood outside the castle tower and scolded fiercely, his expression changing uncertainly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

And Saito Ryuxing, who returned to the room, was also angry, he couldn't imagine that he was very optimistic about him, and thought that Shigeharu Takenaka, who was helping him, was also against him. What disappointed him even more was that in this incident, Shigeharu Takenaka did not show what he wanted to show at all!

Hawkers, to be honest, if Shigeharu Takenaka didn't just care about interceding for Mamoru Ando at this time, but took a roundabout attitude, first helping to reduce the possible consequences of this matter, and then discussing it with Saito Ryuko in a good voice, then things might not have come to this point.

What's more, if Shigeharu Takenaka hadn't used some reasons in advance to convince Saito Ryuko that he only needed to give Saito Ryuko a step down before Saito Ryuko ordered Ando to be imprisoned, then things would not have turned out as they are now.

It's a pity that Shigeharu Takenaka didn't do either of these things, and obviously unlike his military talent, his political talent is completely out of the flow.

"Your Highness......" At this moment, a cowering voice sounded, but it was a concubine who Saito Ryuxing had been very fond of recently.

"Tear up!" With a bang, Saito Ryuxing directly tore the clothes of the woman in front of him, pushed her to the ground roughly, and vented fiercely.

Facing Saito Ryuxing, whose eyes were already red, this beautiful concubine had to endure the pain and try to cater to it.

"We must not go on like this, otherwise the Saito family will be finished!" After returning to his mansion, Shigeharu Takenaka thought to himself, he didn't know what Saito Ryuko was thinking, but he knew that if this matter got out, it would definitely cause an uproar on Nishimino's side. Control the informant? This is obviously impossible, you must know that the people you saw with your own eyes this time include almost all the important ministers of the Saito family, and they will not be leaked? How can it be?!

I don't know how long I pondered, Shigeharu Takenaka suddenly raised his head and looked out the window with a firm expression, "Although I am ashamed of the lord, but for the sake of the Saito family, my subordinates have to make this decision!" Shigeharu Takenaka muttered, and then summoned his personal surname and ordered him to gather all the people he brought.

This time, because he just came for a meeting, Shigeharu Takenaka only brought more than 10 followers, although it was a little less, but Shigeharu Takenaka couldn't take care of it much. After everyone gathered, Shigeharu Takenaka directly said his thoughts, which immediately made everyone stupid.

"This ...... Adults ......" When everyone heard this, they looked at Shigeharu Takenaka in horror, but they couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your father and grandfather have always been retainers of the Takenaka family, and now, I hope that you will be able to be as loyal to me as your fathers did!" Shigeharu Takenaka said with a serious expression.

"Yes...... But if you do this, your lord, you ......" A retainer looked at Shigeharu Takenaka hesitantly, in his opinion, even if Shigeharu Takenaka's method can really succeed, and Saito Ryuko can accept his admonition, but after that, Shigeharu Takenaka's status in the Saito family will also suffer a serious setback, after all, no lord guild likes to have such a retainer under his command.

"I've made up my mind! It's all for the Saito family! So, are you willing to follow me?! Shigeharu Takenaka interrupted the retainer's words and asked loudly as he looked around at the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and finally responded in unison, "I will swear to follow the lord to the death!" "They are all generations of retainers of the Takenaka family, and their loyalty to the Takenaka family can be said to be unquestionable. Now that the Governor had decided to put his life into the line, they decided to follow suit, even though they didn't think it was right to do so.

This was the common value of the samurai of this era, and they were loyal only to their own governors. For the lord of their own household, they have only reverence, not loyalty.

After gaining the following of his subordinates, Shigeharu Takenaka was moved and immediately told them his thoughts.

At the same time, in a mansion not far from Shigeharu Takenaka's mansion, there is also a group of people discussing the matter of Mamoru Ando. There, it is the residence of Mamoru Ando.

"Suzuki-sama, I can't bear it anymore! Since Saito Ryuko succeeded to the governor, he has repeatedly made things difficult for his lord, just to find an opportunity to get rid of the three people who have a huge influence in Nishimino! If we don't act, the lord will be in danger! One of the retainers said loudly.

Nobumasa Suzuki, who was sitting in the first place, nodded with a gloomy face, he felt very much with the words of this retainer, but, even if he wanted to act, how should he act? Nobumasa Suzuki was a little hesitant, after all, now that the governor is in the hands of Saito Ryuxing, even if they want to rebel, they have to rescue the governor first, right?

At this moment, a retainer hurriedly barged in, "Suzuki-sama, when I went to look for Takenaka-sama just now, I found that they were preparing to rescue Ando-sama!" ”

"What?!" Nobumasa Suzuki stood up in shock, and none of the other retainers did it at this time. After all, the news was so shocking. Rescue Ando Shou, let alone whether he can be rescued or not, this act alone is a rebellion.

"This kid in Takenaka...... It's really ......" Nobumasa Suzuki muttered in a choked voice, for Takenaka Shigeji, these retainers of the Ando family can be said to have watched him grow up, because when Saito Yoshiryu rebelled, he almost killed the Takenaka family who had been firmly following Saito Michizo, and it was Ando Mamoru who stepped forward and saved the few remaining members of the Takenaka family. At a very young age, Shigeharu Takenaka lived in the northern castle, and then Mamoru Ando married his daughter to him.

It's just that after Saito Ryuko succeeded to the throne, because Saito Ryuko promoted Takenaka Shigeji, in many cases, Takenaka Shigeji was between his lord and father-in-law, and it was inevitable that he would favor the lord, which attracted the dissatisfaction of this group of old ministers. But now, when everyone didn't dare to intercede for Ando Mamoru in the face of Saito Ryuxing's brutality, Shigeharu Takenaka resolutely chose to take a risk, which was enough for these retainers to forgive Shigeharu Takenaka for all his previous mistakes.

"Let's go! We're going to help them too! Suzuki Nobumasa immediately said that if he had been a little hesitant before, then now after hearing the news, he immediately made up his mind. Shigeharu Takenaka, the retainer who is most valued by Saito Ryuxing, is not afraid, what are they afraid of? What's more, if something really happens to Mamoru Ando, will these retainers have any way to go except for seppuku?

"Yes!" When everyone heard this, they immediately followed Suzuki Nobumasa to Shigeharu Takenaka's mansion, and in a hurry, they completely ignored the fact that no one had asked the retainer to go to Shigeharu Takenaka. You must know that before the retainer said that, these people regarded Shigeharu Takenaka as a traitor.

Soon, Nobumasa Suzuki and the others met Shigeharu Takenaka, who was about to go out. Suddenly, a group of people rushed towards him, and Shigeharu Takenaka was naturally shocked, but after seeing that it was Nobumasa Suzuki, Shigeharu Takenaka breathed a sigh of relief. Then he didn't care much, and directly told his thoughts to Suzuki Nobumasa and others.

"Excellent! Just do what you do! When Suzuki Nobumasa heard this, he agreed. Then everyone quickly prepared and went straight to Mt. Inaba.

At this time, Saito Ryuxing, who had finished venting on the beautiful concubine, was sitting at the observation deck looking at the moonlight, pondering how to deal with what happened next. After all, suddenly locking up Mamoru Ando, and at this time, it must be handled with caution.
