10 Look for Nobunaga
"Nani? You say that Nobuyuki will rebel? ”
"Aha......"
Sasa Shengzheng had an expression of "I don't believe it", and the eldest brother Masaji laughed directly, Sasa Chengzheng was so angry that his face turned black, but he racked his brains and couldn't come up with a reason to convince the two.
"Then I don't care, don't come to me if Xinxing rebels when the time comes!"
After putting down such a cruel sentence, Cheng Zheng walked away.
And the facts ...... As Sasa Morimasa said, "With a tie, nothing can go wrong."
Except for Oda Nobunaga.
As the second elder of the Oda family, Hirate Masahide has no small influence, and under the painstaking management of Masahide, the Oda family has not been chaotic due to the sudden death of the family governor, and the funeral arrangements are also carried out in an orderly manner.
According to the plan, the funeral will take place at Manshoji Temple on the fifth day after Nobuhide's death.
But the question is...... Three days have passed, and the funeral will be held tomorrow, and Oda Nobunaga will not even have a shadow.
Masahide Hirate remembers that like an ant on a hot pot, he called all Nobunaga's former surnames and cronies to Nakono Castle.
Outside the Honmaru of Nakono Castle, the old man's eyebrows and beard trembled and he gave an order:
"Find out the young master! Take him to Mansong Temple!
Cheng Zheng also received the order, but where could he find it?
Nobunaga must have been missing from the beginning, and the old man Hirate has been looking for Nobunaga for three days, and since he couldn't find it for three days, can he do it today?
To the southeast of Owari is Mikawa, the territory of the Imagawa family, and the enemy of the Oda family;
To the north is Mino, the territory of Michizo Saito, the "pit viper", an ally of the Oda family;
To the southwest is Ise, where there are many wealthy families, and there is also Nagashima Ishonsa, who has little friendship with the Oda family.
To the southeast, or to the north, or to the west?
Narumasa fell into deep thought, if he was Oda Nobunaga, where would he go?
Time is ticking, and soon night is falling.
I think I have to leave.
Oda Nobunaga sat quietly on the beach by the sea, and instead of being irritable and active, he quietly listened to the sound of the waves, the wind, and the sound of the watch in Nishio Castle in the distance.
The horses were wandering not far behind him.
He's been sitting here for three days.
The sun rises and sets
The sun tanned his fair skin red, and the cold night breeze damp damp droplets on the tips of his hair.
The tide rises and falls.
At low tide, the crab is stranded on the beach and crawls around him.
The crescent moon is getting fuller day by day, and it is already close to half a moon.
Nobunaga sighed.
"A bunch of stupid people, sure enough, they still haven't been able to find me."
He muttered to himself, with three points of pride, four parts of loneliness and a sense of pity.
Of course, he knew that the old man Heishou would arrange for someone to come to him, and he also knew that Ah Inu, Yosa, and Manchiyo would desperately look for him.
However, since Nobunaga ran out, he had the confidence that they couldn't find.
This is the border of the Three Rivers, on the shore of the Three Rivers Bay.
The Imagawa family was an enemy of the Oda family, and the border was particularly strict, so it was not easy to get there from there. Coupled with the fact that he is Nobuhide's sister-in-law, the identity of the young master of the Oda family makes the danger even more serious.
So, in the three places of Mikawa, Mino, and Ise, Mikawa Country is the most dangerous place, and at the same time, it is the safest place.
Isn't he okay now?
Nobunaga rubbed his numb legs and was about to stand up, when he heard a strange voice.
It's the sound of horses' hooves.
The sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, and it stopped beside his mount, and the new horse, though tall, was all black, making it difficult to notice.
Could it be a gale?
Nobunaga finally reacted.
A man jumped off the back of the black horse, walking staggered and undisciplined, and Nobunaga could already see who that person was with just one glance.
sighed, and sure enough, it was Sasa Narumasa who found him, and Nobunaga couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
- Because this guy never messes with himself, and his eyes are always squinting when he looks at the butterflies.
He didn't know that he was almost cuckolded, otherwise he would have run wild.
"You must have come to ask me to go back to Owari, I will answer you righteously, no way!"
Nobunaga's words were astonishing and eloquent.
"Long-winded...... I know you will definitely say that you want to go back yourself, not me who persuaded you to go back, is it interesting? ”
Narumasa sneered and made a mockery that silenced Nobunaga.
"After running out for a few days, are you feeling better?"
Nobunaga stood still, ignoring Serumasa.
Chengzheng's kindness was not rewarded, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
How did he know that Nobunaga had been sitting for several days, and at this time he suddenly came together, and his legs were numb......
Then Narumasa walked up to Nobunaga and sat down.
"The weather has been good these days, the stars are so beautiful, let's look at the stars for a while."
Nobunaga couldn't smile bitterly, but since Narumasa was able to find him, it proved that he was extraordinary, at least a person equal to himself...... Thinking about it in this way, Nobunaga had to settle for the government.
He stood for a long time, and finally sat down again.
"It's beautiful...... In the past, it was difficult for me to see the stars, and such a bright starry sky could only be enjoyed before the industrial age. ”
Cheng Zheng muttered to himself.
"I don't want to change, I like to immerse myself in the abyss world of nothingness and coldness...... That's probably why I love the starry sky...... The vicissitudes of life, everything is changing, but the starry sky is still the same starry sky. ”
Cheng Zheng was still talking to himself, and in an instant he remembered a lot of things, remembering the countless nights he spent alone with headphones before coming to the Warring States.
"Chengzheng, what do you think about the future direction?"
Finally, Oda Nobunaga couldn't hold his breath anymore, and with someone around him, he reverted to the impatient Nobunaga again.
"You've thought about it for three days, and you've made up your mind that you don't need to ask me again."
Is it true that this person knows himself best...... Oda Nobunaga sighed again.
However, in the fifty years of the world, it is already very lucky to have a confidant.
- Oda Nobunaga seems to have begun to take Seimasa as a confidant.
"Although you have thought of what I have thought of, but you are not me, after all, there will still be differences, ask you, just to find out what is different."
"That's right...... Be careful of Minono's movements, there's nothing else to say. ”
"Mino?" Nobunaga frowned, "Could it be that the rumors are true?" ”
"Rumors? Is it rumored that Yoshiryu Saito is the son of Yorigi Toki? Zoza pursed his lips disdainfully, "Who knows, but does it matter?" ”
Nobunaga was stunned.
"It really doesn't matter."
"Let's have some late-night snack."
Cheng Zheng casually untied a bag from his waist, including dried meat, grilled fish fillets, and rice balls.
The two chatted with each other, and after eating, they were a little sleepy, and they both lay down and fell asleep
These days, Nobunaga has not rested, but Narumasa's physical strength has been maintained relatively well, and he finally woke up before the rising tide the next morning.
"Wake up! It's time to go back to Owari. ”
Narumasa woke up Nobunaga, and the two galloped away in the direction of Owari.
