15 Zhengde Temple
Two days later, Sasa Narumasa left Inabayama Castle with the ten-kan money that Saito Michizo had rewarded.
Dao San did let Yilong test him, but this temptation, with the cooperation of Chengzheng and Yilong, became a disguise to deceive Dao San.
Cheng Zheng himself has no idea how to take revenge, but listening to Yilong's meaning, it seems that he wants to do another process of "going down and going up" to replace Daosan's position.
Regardless of whether Yilong's plan can be realized...... Chengzheng is spiritually supportive, but that's it...... What should I do if I return to the butterfly?
She was already very pitiful, if her father was also killed by their brother, I don't know how sad and sad she would be?
Cheng Zheng shook his head vigorously, this kind of problem, I don't think there will be any results, so I can only let it be.
Back to Nakono Castle, Cheng Zheng gave Gui Die some beautiful local products in the name of Daosan and Yoshiryu, and coaxed the little princess to be happy, so he returned to Hiroshi Castle of Sasa's family and prepared to meet at Shotokuji Temple in half a month.
Since it was a meeting at the level of the lord of the country, the pomp still had to be put on a show.
Oda Nobunaga stopped a 300-man spear team, a 300-man archery team, a 50-man iron cannon team, and thirty samurai on horseback.
Sasa Narumasa was close to Nobunaga's cronies, and of course he was among the most noble samurai on horseback.
The formation of the Oda family was opened by a spear team of 150 people, followed by a bow and a light of 150 people, and in the middle of it was a gun ashigaru of 50 people and a cavalry team of 30 horsemen, and the back was still lined up in the order of a bow and a spear team.
The team of nearly 400 people, although it was not mighty, was also full of momentum, and when the team walked outside Shotokuji Temple, Narumasa sitting on the back of the wind had already seen the Saito family's spear team from a distance.
I heard that Michizo Saito dispatched a pikeman team of 1,000 men this time, and although the troops were somewhat single, they were almost three times the strength of the Oda army.
Many people were overly worried about the meeting, thinking that Michizo might kill Nobunaga outright, and they were apprehensive about it, most notably by Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneko. They looked around vigilantly, fearing that someone would be unfavorable to Nobunaga.
Narumasa didn't care much about Oda Nobunaga, he just regretted that Saito Michizo was heavily guarded, and even if he wanted to assassinate him, it would be impossible to do it.
But...... If Dao San really didn't open his eyes and sneaked out alone, he still had some hope of succeeding, but he ...... How could Dao San sneak out by himself.
Wait a minute...... A flash of lightning flashed through Sasa's head, and he suddenly remembered something.
Before coming to the Warring States period, although Narumasa knew little about history, he often wandered into the Shinno bar, and saw a lot of jokes related to Sengoku figures, including a paragraph about the "meeting at Shotokuji Temple", Saito Michizo once wore peasant clothes and hid in a grass hut where Nobunaga passed by. A peek at Nobunaga's appearance.
If this joke is true...... Sasa looked around and saw a lonely hut on the right side of the street.
"If Dao San is really in it......"
Cheng Zheng raised the corners of his mouth.
He circled his horse and left the formation, ran towards the grass hut, and when he passed by the iron cannon Ashigaru's array, Narumasa snatched the iron cannon from Ashigaru's hand again, and ran directly outside the thatched hut despite Maeda Toshi's shouting.
With two clicks, Cheng Zheng lit the rope of the iron cannon, kicked the wooden door open, and paced in.
"Arms down! Hands up! β
In the dim light, Cheng Zheng saw a snow-bright knife and a bright head.
- Michizo Saito has been ordained a monk (for the second time), and that head may be his!
He was excited, but before he could laugh, the samurai with the sword in hand rushed over with a roar.
Boom!
The man fell, and the hut was filled with the smell of gunsmoke.
Cheng Zheng threw the empty iron cannon in his hand, and pulled out the sword with a snort:
"Although I don't know who you are, but you are ambushed here to be prepared to disadvantage Your Highness...... I'm going to kill you! β
"Boy...... Do you know who I am? β
Dao San was a little panicked...... He didn't expect that such a reckless young samurai would indiscriminately want to take his life.
"I know! You're an Assassin! β
Cheng Zheng impatiently gave Dao San a sentence, he wanted to take this opportunity to kill him.
At this time, Dao San didn't have the spear he was good at, and he didn't even have a rib, if Zuo Zuo Chengzheng couldn't kill him like this, it was better to find a piece of tofu and kill him.
Not to mention...... Sasa Chengzheng has a premonition that Michizo will definitely die at his hands!
Now is the time!
Cheng Zheng raised his knife, squatted slightly, and jumped up!
"Chengzheng, stop it!"
There was a sudden burst of shouting behind him, and Cheng Zheng's movements couldn't help but have a hesitation, and it was this hesitation that allowed Saito Michizo to get out of life, although he was old, his skills were still flexible, and after flashing Cheng Zheng's knife, he pushed open the wooden window and jumped out, and escaped from the hut.
Sasa Narumasa slashed the window and was about to catch up with him, but Nobunaga had already strode up, and the horsewhip was slammed on Narumasa's back.
After a snap, Cheng Zheng suddenly felt pain and almost couldn't stand.
Nobunaga pulled him out of the hut by the sleeves of his coat, and came to Michizo Saito, who was surrounded by everyone, and threw him to the ground.
"You Baga! Don't hurry up and make amends to His Royal Highness Daosan! β
Sasa Narumasa was stunned for a moment, looked up, and suddenly found that there were many samurai of the Saito family around Saito Michizo.
Dao San is quietly hidden and stolen. Nobunaga, but it seems that the guard work has not been left behind, and as soon as it is attacked, it immediately attracts more than a dozen samurai of the Saito family.
Only then did Sasa Naruma realize how naΓ―ve his thoughts were...... Nobunaga scolded him and beat him, presumably to give an explanation to Michizo so as to save his life.
But...... Want him to apologize to the enemy who killed his father, is it really a big husband?
Looking up, Naimasa saw that Nobunaga was still the same angry color, Saito Michizo was wearing shabby clothes, but he was staring at him with a smile, and behind Michizo stood a tall figure and slowly shook his head at Narumasa.
Even Yilong let him put up with it?
But...... How can you tolerate this kind of thing?
Sasa Naruma is determined to die...... He slowly tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, calculating the distance between him and Saito Michizo.
Even if you fight for this life, you must have a hand to sword Saito Michizo!
Just before Sasa Seimasa was dying and counterattacking, a sachet that fell to the ground came into view.
Although there were not many opportunities to meet Guidie, the two still gave each other a lot of small gifts through Guidie's maid A Xue...... This sachet woven by Gui Die's own hand was handed over to Cheng Zheng by Ah Xue's hand on the New Year of this year.
Sasa Naruma remembered the bits and pieces with Guidie for a moment.
Someone once told Cheng Zheng that the most dangerous person in the world is to look at you with a smile, but he can stab you at any time and put someone to death.
Gui Die also said...... Her father, Michizo Saito, is this kind of person.
β¦β¦ Whether it's to avenge my dead father, or to return to the butterflies waiting in the ancient wild city, I must not die at this time.
You can't just die! Definitely, I must go back alive to see the butterfly!
Cheng Zheng gritted his teeth, and knelt down to Dao San in full view of everyone.
"I am ignorant and mistakenly think that His Royal Highness Dao San is an assassin who assassinated the lord, so I have offended His Royal Highness Dao San, please ...... His Royal Highness Dao San forgives his sins! β
