Chapter 104: Great Achievement
"A team of centaurs, search to the left!"
"Second team, search to the right!"
"Three teams of people, go to the back mountain to inspect!"
"Four teams of men and horses, guard the traffic arteries of Gangshan, those who go down the mountain, don't allow, those who go up the mountain, don't allow, those who disobey the order, cut it down!"
……
Wise Mitsuhide held the military equipment in his hand, issued one order after another, and finally did not forget to add, "Everyone should listen to the order to pay attention to whether there are secret partitions and secret passages in each hall, and focus on checking each cave in the back mountain......"
The soldiers nodded yes and dispersed.
After the order was completed, Wise Mitsuhide used the Taiji Hall as a temporary military tent, sat in it, and let the people close to him brew tea, smelled the rich fragrance of tea, turned his head to a strong samurai with a stubble on his face next to him and said: "Saito Rizo, you go and control all the shrine maidens and attendants in the shrine, and interrogate them one by one until you ask for clues." ”
The samurai nodded yes, and when he turned to leave, he suddenly turned around and said, "My subordinates first congratulate the general on this achievement."
Wise Mitsuhide smiled slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Hurry up." ”
Speaking of this Saito Rizo, but it's not simple, this person was born in the Mino Saito clan, and he is also the cousin of Akechi Mitsuhide, who was originally an infantry general in Inabayama Castle (now Gifu Castle), serving Saito Ryuko, the head of the Saito family, and after Saito Ryuxing was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga, he switched to the Oda family and became one of the five elders of Akechi Mitsuhide.
In the official history, this duke is the mastermind of the change of Honnoji, and it is he who personally led the army to attack Honnoji Temple, forcing Oda Nobunaga to commit suicide, of course, it is precisely because of his participation in the change of Honnoji that this duke died in the battle of Yamazaki together with Akechi Mitsuhide.
Compared to Oda Katsunaga's anxiety, at this time the wise Mitsuhide is calm and relaxed, as if everything is under control, not to mention the unique tea, but also poetic pause, singing a song: The sky is tired of the demon king, the sky is full of rain, when today, the righteousness will be extended!
Sure enough, after the song was sung, he reported that he had found out the identities of the four people who were killed in the bombing, and that they were the gods of Yasaka Shrine, Matsuo Taisha Shrine, Kamigamo Shrine, and Jonan Palace, and according to the attendants in the palace, the four gods gathered in Heian Shrine to track down the whereabouts of Akiyama Hiroi, the head of the sect who had been missing for many days.
Akechi Mitsuhide took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Pass the order, bury the four god lords, and go all out to track down the god lord of the Heian Shrine, Yoshida Kenkazu." ”
After a while, another retainer, Mizoo Shigeru, came to report that he had already found Akiyama Hiroki, the head of the Shinto sect, in the dark compartment of a large hall.
Wise Mitsuhide was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Where is the Akiyama Divine Lord now, quickly take General Ben to meet him." ”
"It's already outside the temple, but it's just ...... It's just that I'm in a trance......"
Wise Mitsuhide heard this, hurriedly rushed out of the main hall, and sure enough, he saw Akiyama Hongyi supporting him in Ashigaru, and walked slowly towards the Taiji Palace, he hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The rescue of the Ten Guards is late, so that the Akiyama God Lord suffers." ”
Akiyama Hongyi looked a little sluggish, but nodded at Akechi Mitsuhide, without words.
Mitsuhide didn't blame him, and hurriedly ordered Ashigaru

Helped the god of Akiyama to the temple to rest, and asked someone to make fragrant tea to suppress the shock of the god.
After a few more moments, the general's wife, Ki Hirotada, came to report that they had found Yoshida Kenkazu in a secret room, but the man seemed to have suffered a stroke, his eyes were foggy, his mind was confused, and his mouth was full of gibberish......
When Akechi Mitsuhide heard this, he said angrily: "Bring him to me!" ”
After a while, Ashigaru brought Kenwa Yoshida, who was dressed in a gray sermon robe, with dull eyes and drooling mouth, to Akechi Mitsuhide.
At first glance, when he saw Yoshida Kenhe's appearance, Akechi Mitsuhide was secretly taken aback, how could Yoshida Divine Lord, who was kind to people and fairies on weekdays, become a stupid person now, but thinking that all the crux of today's problems would fall on him, Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't take pity on him, and shouted: "Yoshida Divine Lord, how do you explain today's events?" ”
In the face of Achichi Mitsuhide's question, Yoshida Kenkazu didn't answer, just blindly chattered there, "Amaterasu God descended, destroyed demons and evil spirits, and other disloyal and unrighteous people, causing me to be ruined, and I can't die a good ......death."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Akechi Mitsuhide asked three more times, but what he got was "Amaterasu has descended, destroyed demons and evil spirits, and you have caused disloyalty and unrighteousness to ruin my reputation, and I will not die well......"
In the end, even though Akechi Mitsuhide stopped pressing, Kenkazu Yoshida continued to talk over and over again. Akechi Mitsuhide looked at it and wondered if he was deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid, so he pulled out his sword and came to Yoshida Kenkazu, shouting: "You dare to defy General Ben and look for death!" As soon as the words fell, the knife carried the sound of the wind, and it was split in an instant......
Of course, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't really want to kill him, and as soon as the knife in his hand touched Yoshida Kenwa's scalp, it stopped abruptly, but the sharp blade had already cut through the scalp, and a wisp of red blood dripped down Yoshida Kenwa's head.
Everyone present secretly exclaimed for Guangxiu's knife technique, it is not difficult to quickly make a knife, the difficulty is that it can be retracted freely, and the point is reached......
But no matter how much he threatened, Kenkazu Yoshida still stood there, his eyes straight, not dodging or dodging, and his mouth was still chattering......
Akechi Mitsuhide secretly wondered if he was really crazy, and just when he was puzzled, a voice suddenly said: "Don't waste your efforts in vain, he has become a useless person because of his intoxication of spiritual dew." ”
When Akechi Mitsuhide heard this, he saw that the person who spoke was Akiyama Hiroki. It turned out that after resting and recuperating and drinking a few cups of tea, Akiyama Hongyi finally recovered a little, but he was still weak when he spoke, and after just one sentence, he was there again.
Seeing that the head of the Shinto Sect spoke, Wise Mitsuhide couldn't be snubbed, and hurriedly asked, "Then in the opinion of the gods, what should we do?" ”
Before Akiyama could answer, another man came to report that several women's heads had been found in Yoshida's Kenkazu house, and some of the flesh had rotted away, and only the skulls remained.
Akechi Mitsuhide was horrified in his heart, and hurriedly took a look, and found that there was a big hole broken above each head, which looked very terrifying......
"This is because of the inhalation of the spirit dew, the poison is too deep, cough cough cough ......" Akiyama Hiroki beat his spirit and continued
