May 15, 1556. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis day is destined to be recorded in history forever, because what is about to happen on this day will affect the time of this era for nearly 30 years.

In the Inabayama Castle Assessment Room, all the retainers of the Saito family gathered here because of Saito Yoshiryu's sudden summoning order. In this regard, they are all very puzzled, because isn't Saito Yoshiryu seriously ill? When they saw it some time ago, they did look sick.

And just when everyone was talking, Saito Yoshiryu appeared, and with him, there was also Mamoru Ando and other three people of Nishimino. However, it doesn't matter who they came from, the important thing is that Saito Yoshiryu doesn't have the same serious illness and dying appearance as before at this time, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be similar to the healthy appearance before.

Seeing this, most of the retainers were immediately confused, of course, there were not a few people with good brains who vaguely guessed that something big might happen, but they were also confused about what it was.

However, Saito Yoshiryu didn't let them wonder for too long, "Everyone! Not long ago, I confirmed to my mother a rumor that had been circulating for a long time! As soon as Saito Yoshiryu sat down, he said loudly, "That's it!" My true background! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the retainers were blinded in an instant. It's not that they don't understand what Yoshiryu Saito means, but because they really understand the meaning of this sentence too well.

Well...... How so? This is a rumor that everyone in the Saito family is very curious about, but they can only bury it deep in their hearts.

At that time, Saito Michizo was just a retainer of the Toki family's governor Toki Yoriyi, and in a bet with Toki Yorii, he shot the tiger eye painted on the screen and won Fukayoshino, who was the concubine of Toki Yorii at the time.

The monarch made a bet with the retainers, and the retainers actually took the monarch's concubine as a reward for the gambling contract, I really don't know if it was because the wine strengthened the courage or the noble circle was really messy. But that's not the point, the point is that Fukayoshino gave birth to a child in less than 10 months after remarrying Michizo Saito. Well, it's Yoshitaka Saito.

This news is quite shocking, and at least the maids who served Shen Fangye are all very excited. Every day we get together, and we talk about the various gods about it.

Well, we all know that there is a saying called premature birth, and this kind of saying naturally cannot be found in modern times. But obviously, for these eldest sisters who have the attributes of three aunts and eight mothers. This kind of boring rhetoric is something that no one can accept. As a result, all kinds of rumors about Fukayoshino slowly spread from their mouths to the Saito family. We all know that as long as any secret is known by a woman, it means that the whole world knows it. Belch...... Well, I don't have any particular opinion about women.

It's just that whether it's for Toki Yoriyi or Saito Michizo, this kind of rumor is obviously not what they want to see. So soon, these rumors disappeared. It's just that for those retainers of the Saito family, how can these rumors be easily forgotten? For many years, whether it was Toki Laiyi's cuckold or Saito Michizo's willing father. It's a big question mark in their hearts. Well, men are also very fond of gossip.

And now, Saito Yoshiryu said such things in front of so many people on such an occasion, and I knew that it was impossible to say that he was really the son of Saito Michizo.

"My father! It's not the sinister, cunning, lustful, shameless, despicable and obscene pit viper Michizo, but the master of the Mino generation, the noble Toki family governor Toki Yoriyi! Although when I was very young, my father was driven out of Mino by the pit viper, and the Toki clan was removed from Mino. Yoshiryu Saito shouted impassionedly.

"But! Now that I know the truth, I won't pretend I don't know anything! So......" said this, Saito Yoshiryu slowly glanced at everyone. Word by word, he said solemnly, "Now! I decided to regain my true identity! Change your name to Toki Dragon, inherit the Toki family, and let the Kikyo Flag float in the sky of this land again! ”

Quiet...... When Saito Yoshiryu or Toki Yoshiryu said this. There was silence in the assessment room, and everyone was silent with their heads bowed, as if nothing had happened. But their hearts have obviously been completely shaken. No way, this news is too exciting, and their little hearts can't bear it.

And the earth ambiguity dragon saw this. He didn't rush them, just sat down and waited quietly.

Suddenly, an elderly retainer stood up and walked to the middle of the assessment room and bowed down. He is the head of the Takenaka family, Shigeshi Takenaka.

"Takenaka-sama, do you have anything to say?" The earth ambiguity dragon asked lightly, unable to tell whether it was joy or anger.

"My lord! You are now the governor of the Saito family and the master of Mino, and His Royal Highness Mido has already lived in seclusion. Whatever the truth of what happened before, it was a thing of the past after all. Shigeshi Takenaka said loudly, "Now, the main family and the Oda family have been married for many years, and they have enough trust in each other. In Omi, Rokkaku Dingyori had just died, and the successor Rokkaku Yoshiken did not have his father's martial wisdom at all, which was a great opportunity for the family to invade Omi......" Shigeji Takenaka continued to persuade.

"Hmph...... So, you don't agree? The earth ambiguity dragon looked at Shigeji Takenaka and asked lightly.

"Please think twice!" Shigeshi Takenaka bowed to the ground again.

At this time, there was silence in the assessment room, and no one echoed or objected, as if none of them had heard or seen it. Tsuchiki understood that they were observing, to see what they would do with the Takenaka Shige. After all, the Takenaka clan is a big clan in Mino, and disposing of him rashly will cause turmoil.

It's just that obviously everyone underestimated the determination of the Earth Ambiguity Dragon, but I saw him slowly shake his head, looked at Takenaka Shigeshi and said with a look of regret, "Lord Takenaka, originally, I thought you were a smart person. As he spoke, he took out a short knife from his bosom and threw it over.

"Poof!" The sound of the short knife falling on the tatami mat was not loud, but it made everyone's hearts tremble. They looked at the ambiguous dragon in fear, and its familiar appearance seemed particularly strange today.

And Shigeshi Takenaka looked at the short knife in front of him even more stupidly, obviously, this result was completely unexpected by him. Hawkers, originally in his mind, even if the Earth Ambiguity Dragon wouldn't agree to his request, he would send him away. The strength of the Takenaka family in Mino is one thing, and it is another thing to win over everyone, after all, no one likes a murderous lord.

Just when Shigeshi Takenaka was stunned, a voice with meaning and playfulness came from indifference. "Lord Takenaka, for the sake of your past merits, you are allowed to seppuku as a glorious Saito samurai."

"Cut...... Belly ......" Shigeshi Takenaka stretched out his trembling hands and picked up the short knife, staring at the knife face reflecting his face in front of him. After half a ring. Shigeshi Takenaka suddenly rushed towards the Earth Ambiguity Dragon, "Traitor! Death! Shigeshi Takenaka shouted.

"Alas...... It's not like I haven't given you a chance......" The Earth Ambiguity Dragon shook his head and sighed, casually holding the sword behind him, and the little surname behind him was already kneeling there with a sword.

"Whoosh!" The Earth Ambiguity Dragon drew his sword, then jerked to his feet. Towards the rushing Takenaka Shigeshi directly slashed down. "Poof......" Shigeshi Takenaka was directly split in half, and the blood and internal organs instantly stained the ground and ...... The eyes of the crowd.

And the earth ambiguity dragon who caused all this, as if he had just done a very trivial thing that was not worth mentioning, casually handed over the sword to the little surname, and sat down again. And the corpse of the Takenaka Shige, he didn't see him call someone to clean it up, so it was placed over there, constantly stimulating everyone.

"Does anyone else want to object?" The voice of the Earth Ambiguity Dragon reached everyone's ears again, only this time, no one was silent. "I want to follow the Lord. Revive the Toki family! All the retainers shouted in unison.

"Very good......" Hearing this, the Earth Ambiguity Dragon smiled with satisfaction, "Keep it ......"

"Yes!" Hearing this, Mamoru Ando took out a large box from the side and walked to the front, opening it under the gaze of everyone.

"This is ......" The retainer who was close to him suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise after seeing the contents of the box. Their appearance made others panic and full of curiosity at the same time.

"This is the ......head of the two sons of the rebel pit viper," the earth ambiguity dragon said lightly.

In a word, everyone was stunned in an instant. They had been staying in Inabayama Castle for the past few days, so they naturally knew that just yesterday, Saito Michizo's two sons, Sun Shiro and Kihei, came to visit Saito Yoshiryu.

"It's too ruthless...... "This thought came to everyone's hearts at the same time, but it was just a blink of an eye. Everyone's faces turned pale. Because they all thought that they and the eldest son of the family were all here.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and then I saw Xiao Mu Yuantai walking in covered in blood, "Lord! The 6 people brought by the Takenaka Shigeshi have all been killed. However, Shigegen Takenaka, the eldest son of the Takenaka family, is not among them. ”

"Hiss......" Everyone suddenly gasped when they heard this, what they were most worried about still happened, and it was almost in an instant.

"Humph! Anyway. The Earth Ambiguity Dragon snorted coldly, then glanced at the retainers. All those who were swept by his piercing eyes fell to the ground in fear, fearing that the next person to die tragically would be himself.

Seeing this, Toki Yoshiryu finally gave his first order as the governor of the Toki family, "Everyone obeys!" Send people back to the territory immediately to start mobilizing the troops, and gather here in the shortest possible time! ”

Hearing this, everyone already understood that the Earth Ambiguity Dragon was determined to deal with Saito Michizo, and they were already helpless at this time, unless they were willing to sacrifice their own family. However, in this era, most people will only choose to protect their family when faced with this situation.

On that day, the flag on Inabayama Castle became the Kikyo Flag, which was the flag representing the Toki family. At this point, the Toki family reappeared in Minono, a place ruled by pit vipers for decades.

Of course, this situation could not be ignored by the people of Sagiyama Castle, and even Owari had discovered this situation for a long time. This is not the negligence of the Ambiguity Dragon, but he just wants to use this upright attitude to tell the world that no one can stop him......

Egret Hill Castle.

"My lord, the new Kikyo Banner has been hung on Inabayama Castle......," Erji said in a low voice as he knelt on the ground.

Hearing this, Saito Michizo was silent for a while before he said slowly, "Akabei, prepare for battle and gather everyone to the assessment room." ”

"Yes!"

After the two left, Saito Michizo sat down slowly, looked at the blue sky, and suddenly showed a slightly mocking smile, "I didn't expect that I would look away, hehe...... Yilong, I underestimate you too much......"

Owari, Cheongju Castle.

"What?!" Oda Nobunaga's sharp eagle eyes glared at Mori Kecheng, if his eyes could kill, Mori Kecheng would not know that he had died hundreds of times.

"Saito Yoshiryu has rebelled! According to the information obtained by his subordinates, Inabayama Castle has already hung the bellflower flag at this time! Sen Kecheng said in a deep voice.

"Why?! Why did the son betray his father?! Oda Nobunaga stood up and shouted angrily. He attaches great importance to family affection, but he really can't understand such a strange thing.

At this time, Nonghime on the side whispered to herself, "Sure enough, ......"

"Huh?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Nohime in surprise, never expecting that she would not be shocked or worried when she heard the news, but said such a brainless word.

Seeing Oda Nobunaga's doubts, Nohime said in a deep voice, "A long time ago, there have been rumors in the family that Yoshiryu is actually the son of Toki Yoriyi......"

......Hearing this, Oda Nobunaga sat down and was silent, not knowing if he was digesting this shocking truth or thinking about something.

Early the next morning, Lushan City, which was in a state of war, ushered in a man covered in wounds. His name was Fukutomi Heitaro, and he was one of the samurai sent by Michizo to follow Nohime to Owari. Well? Why are you covered in injuries? Naturally, it was because the whole of Mino had entered a state of martial law at this time.

Although the Tsuchiki Yoshiryu did not intend to hide his intentions, it was obviously impossible for him to be unguarded against the Oda family. It can even be said that only Saito Michizo will be valued by him in Egreyama City today, and the rest of the people are not taken seriously by him at all. And the reason why the army had to be gathered was to block the reinforcements of the Oda family.

"Haha~ That fool is really kind-hearted......" Saito Michizo said with a smile, "but ...... Reinforcements are not needed here. ”

"For ...... Why?! Heitaro Fukutomi looked at Michizo Saito in shock and asked, "Nobuto-sama is interested in helping ......?"

Before Heitaro Fukutomi finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Saito Michizo, "Go back and convey to my son-in-law, war does not follow common sense, so if you are not sure of victory, you can't go to war!" There is no such awareness! You can't take over the world! These are the words that Nobunaga must remember throughout his life! Convey it well! ”
