"Presumptuous!"

Shin Fan suddenly broke off, frowned, and the old warrior behind him stepped forward and protected Shin Fan's body.

With a snort, the sword on the waist of the old warrior was already unsheathed!

As if sensing the killing intent of the old samurai, Toki Yoriji smiled and took a step back.

But what is strange is that it was the old samurai who drew the sword first, but it was the slow Toki Yoriji who retreated to a safe distance first, and the old samurai made a thunderous sword, and he didn't even touch the hem of Yoriji's clothes.

The old warrior's heart sank, and he immediately changed to a defensive posture.

"It's wonderful!"

Toki Raiji high-fived in admiration.

"If my guess is correct, this is Lord Zhujiao Huding, one of the five tigers of the Takeda family."

Lai Ci stared at the old warrior up and down with a leisurely expression, obviously looking polite, but it made the Horned Tiger look like a great enemy.

"Count you kid with eyesight!"

The Horned Tiger snorted coldly, refusing to show weakness.

"Is Hu Dinggong willing to put down the sword? You can't help me, and I can't kill His Highness Xinfan, not to mention that we are not enemies. ”

Toki Raiji stroked the hilt of the sword and gave Takeda Nobuyoshi an inquiring look.

It's very simple, if you can't talk about it, you won't talk about it.

If Takeda Nobuyhiro really doesn't have any big ambitions, he is not qualified to negotiate terms with him again.

Although the Tigers were fierce enough and Nobuyori Takeda was by no means mediocre, Yoriji Toki still had the confidence to kill one of them.

――If it had been replaced by that useless Sasa Naruma, I guess I would have been trying to find a way to escape.

Raiji shook his head, how could he think of Sazuo Chengzheng at this juncture...... It's really unlucky.

"Teacher, put away the knife. There's no need for us and Zozo-sama to have a conflict. ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi finally stepped past the Horns and pressed the sword back into its sheath by the old samurai's hand.

"I'm interested in Zozo-sama's proposal, but first I want to ask...... Is this the meaning of His Royal Highness Jinghu, or the meaning of Lord Zuozo? ”

Faced with Shinshigeru's questioning, Toki Yoriji blinked.

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference. If it is at the behest of His Royal Highness Nagao Jinghu, then there is no possibility for us to continue talking...... If it's Sasa-sama's wishes, I, Takeda Nobuyoshige, am still willing to listen to it. ”

"Really...... I can tell you responsibly that I have never consulted with my lord about this. ”

Lai Ci snorted coldly, went around in a circle, and answered Xin Fan's question.

He is quite cunning, but honest enough. He really didn't mention this matter to Sister Jinghu, but he also had nothing to do with Zuo Zuo Chengzheng.

"Since it was from the will of Zosa-sama, I believe it...... It's time to go! ”

"So, I took my leave."

Lai Ci said to go, quite neatly, and immediately rode down the Luohu Slope on the release of moon hair, turned an intersection, and mixed into the team of the Enlightenment Medical Center, which was difficult to find.

Xin Fan and Zhujiao Tiger Ding were still standing on the top of the Luohu Slope, and they all had their own ideas in their hearts.

"Lord...... Why...... Is it now? ”

Zhujiao Huding's old face collapsed, and he didn't understand Xin Fan's choice.

"The teacher was wrong...... Not now, I still support my brother as the governor of the Takeda family as I did more than ten years ago! Shin Fan's wish has never changed, please rest assured. ”

"Alas...... If it hasn't changed, why ......"

The Horned Tiger was speechless.

At first, he supported Nobu Shigeru to succeed him as the governor of the Takeda family, but he did not expect that Nobu also supported Harunobu in banishing the former family governor Nobu Shinhu.

As a result, Harunobu Takeda became the governor of the family, and Nobuyoshi became a retainer.

This has always made him very unwilling, but he has never complained.

"Xinfan's wish has never changed, what can change is the eldest brother!"

Takeda Nobushi's face also turned cold, thinking of what Takeda Harunobu had done over the years, thinking of the plague under Kasuga Mountain Castle, there was pain in Nobuyo's voice.

"I don't want to disobey my brother...... But what if he becomes no longer worthy of my allegiance? ”

Hearing this question, even Zhujiao Huding couldn't help but be stunned.

He has always been obsessed with the battle between the family and the governor, but he has never thought about the question of whether the lord is worthy of allegiance.

The reason for the exile of Takeda Shinhu was because Shintora was not worthy of everyone's allegiance.

It was because of this that Shin Fan supported Takeda Harunobu in the first place.

But what if Harunobu Takeda becomes unworthy of allegiance?

For a moment, the Horned Tiger seemed to understand something.

"But...... Why did the lord choose Sasa Chengzheng? ”

"Because that man ...... It was able to enter Kasuga Mountain Castle alone, stop the spread of the plague, and save the entire Echigo people. ”

Thinking of Sasa Seimasa's actions in Echigo, Shin Shigeru's heart was surging.

"That kind of general, when you go out, you will defeat the enemy, fight for thousands of miles, and if you enter, you will protect the monarch and save the people of Limin, that kind of military general is the real general!"

After understanding what Shinshiro was obsessed with, Mokaku Toradai also sighed, and he remembered the sins that Sasa Narumasa had done in Shinano.

"Pinch your fingers, this kid Sasa Narumasa has already slaughtered Kiso-Fukushima Castle, Fukashi Castle, Uehara Castle and Umi-noguchi Castle, and burned down Suwa Taisha Shrine...... What a sin...... Even the gods and Buddhas would not forgive him! ”

Listening to Zhujiaohuding's complaints, Xin Fan couldn't help but smile.

"This is the enlightenment of the devil! Teacher, in today's Warring States world, if you want to achieve fame and protect one side, killing is inevitable. Only by rejecting the benevolence of a woman and having the consciousness of a demon can you become a real general! The agreement between Shin Fan and Sasa Chengzheng is a devil's agreement! ”

After saying this, Xin suddenly looked up and laughed, and he untied the reins from the tree, turned and stepped on his horse, and galloped in the direction of Gaoyuan City.

The Horned Tiger was unwilling to fall behind, and soon followed.

For a while, he felt that he couldn't see through this young master who had grown up since he was a child with more than 70 years of life experience.

…… Is it really old? Hu Ding was puzzled.

is also puzzled by the Horned Tiger Ding, as well as Takeda Harunobu in the hesitant Qi Pavilion.

It had been a few days since the meeting at Luohupo, and Toki Raiji had already entered the Mino realm.

Likewise...... There is news about the secret meeting between Sasa Narumasa and Takeda Nobushi, and it is also summarized here by Takeda Harunobu.

There is no direct evidence that they met, but the neighboring Mikawa ninja heard Sasa talking about his meeting with Shinshihiro in the inn......

By the way, the hapless Mikawa ninja was sent by the Imagawa family, who accidentally exposed the identity of the ninja and confessed a lot of information under torture.

Years of spy experience told Harunobu that this information was true.

But he didn't want to believe it was true.

He didn't want to believe that his brother would betray him.

Just when Takeda Harunobu was entangled, Toki Yoriji, who was far away in Higashiminon, entrusted the local wealthy Toyama family to send a samurai to Shinano to deliver the letter.

The target of this emissary is, of course, Takeda Nobuyoshi, and Toki Yoriji is confident enough to let this emissary be discovered by the ninjas of the Takeda family...... and eventually fell into death.

Shinshigeru said that it was the devil's agreement, but the upright Takeda Shinshigeru obviously did not think about how evil the demon could be......
