Fujikuro Shin took a step closer to Mizuno Nobumoto, and laughed loudly: "This is my brother's foresight? ”

"How?"

"There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Haha, there is indeed such an old saying. But I also know another old saying, that is, when two tigers fight, one must be injured. Brother knows this, but he still wants to take the initiative to join this war? What's more, this time it's not the two tigers, but the three tigers, did the elder brother forget the Takeda family? If the Tokugawa family is really not the opponent of the Takeda family, and the Takeda family comes to the front of the main family, and the Imagawa family is also like the Oda family, and does not support the main family, then what will the main family do? ”

Hearing what Shin said recently, Mizuno Nobumoto suddenly lost his color. If it were usual, Mizuno Nobumoto would definitely swing his sword at him. But now that he was the head of the family, he had the measure and responsibility to tolerate dissent, so he had to say, "Oh? There is also an old saying......"

As for the Imagawa family's non-compliance with the agreement, he simply did not respond, according to the two envoys of the Imagawa family before, if the Mizuno family is willing to support the Imagawa family, then the Imagawa family will soon send reinforcements to the Mizuno family. Of course, Mizuno Nobugen is not stupid, the Imagawa family suddenly supported the Mizuno family so generously, and its purpose was naturally directed at the Tokugawa family and the Takeda family, and even had other purposes for the Oda family.

And now his younger brother is just like an idiot, he can't see the overall situation at all, and even comes to laugh at himself, which makes Mizuno Nobumoto very unhappy, but he still tried his best to suppress the growing unhappiness in his heart, and nodded vigorously: "But...... Fujikuro, when you know in advance which tiger will die and which tiger will be injured. What will happen? Do you want to wait and see what happens? ”

"Brother, do you seem to know the result?"

"Exactly."

"That's why we won't go to the Imagawa family. Because ...... "Shin thought he could convince his brother. He pulled on his hakama. He also sat down under the tree, "What do you think will happen to this tiger if this tiger can win easily because of our help?" By the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly? We border Kariya and Owari, how can the Oda family let us go? If they find an excuse to send troops to us, what should they do? ”

"Not bad......"

"So we just have to wait and see...... If the tiger is injured, it is severe. We have also preserved our strength, so that the tiger will not attack us lightly. Brother, you should have understood this a long time ago. ”

In any era, the sorrow of a small country and a weak vassal is the same. Either they advocate taking refuge in one side, or they advocate seeking refuge in the other, or they advocate neutrality, and the three parties argue all day long. Mizunoya is no exception.

Seeing that Mizuno Nobugen was silent, the young Nobukin thought that his brother had succumbed. But how did he know that words could not change others at all, and sometimes the victory of words would make the other person lose patience. However, Shinjin didn't understand this, and he did something stupid before he knew it. Where will Mizuno Nobumoto succumb to this articulate younger brother. He couldn't take it anymore.

There is no right or wrong in this matter, but it is the fate of the world. I'm going to kill him!" Mizuno Nobumoto said in his heart.

The thought popped into my head. Mizuno Nobugen immediately found a reason: Nobujin had lost the ability to make correct judgments. If this continues, it will only plant a bane, and eventually lead the Mizuno family to extinction. He didn't know that behind his decision, there was a hidden jealousy for this half-brother. Mizuno Nobugen lost his mother since he was a child, and he doesn't know what his mother's love is, but his younger brother has his mother's love (Mizuno Nobumoto and Nobujin are half-brothers).

"Oh...... There is some truth in your thoughts. Mizuno Nobumoto's tone softened, but he secretly thought: Where should I kill this guy? He suddenly had a plan.

The deformed era has created a deformed character. In this bloody and troubled era, it is no longer surprising that flesh and blood are killing each other. In order to survive, all kinds of strategies are needed. In this sense, whether it is the people who run around for firewood, rice, oil and salt all day long, or the daimyo who are pampered, there is no difference, and they all survive in this unprecedented turbulent era at the same time.

In the eyes of Mizuno Nobumoto, who believed that only by taking refuge in the Imagawa family could he survive, his younger brother became his biggest threat. If he takes refuge in the Imagawa family with an iron heart, Shinjin will definitely swing his sword at him. But when he thought of getting rid of Shinjin in the bear mansion so that he could kill two birds with one stone, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. He also felt that fratricidal flesh and blood were very sad, but sentimentality was never allowed in this troubled world.

Mizuno Nobumoto calmed down and said, "I may indeed have thought about it. Fujikuro, this is silent in advance. ”

"Why?"

"I will tell you what I think, and I will listen carefully to your opinions. But if outsiders listen to it, it's not good. I'm busy right now. Later, we will go to the Kumawakaya Mansion to continue the discussion on this topic. After saying that, Mizuno Nobumoto stood up with a sigh of relief.

Shin nodded closely. He was sincerely happy to see that his brother had listened to his opinion.

"Remember, don't let people find out, then the drawbridge at the bear mansion will be lowered, and you can sneak in."

"When?"

"Before the moon comes out, around the time of the moon...... After crossing the bridge, go to a small door and knock three times, two times at a time, this is the code. ”

Before Mizuno Nobumoto inherited the position of family governor, he had an affair with the goddess of Kumawakanomiya, Yuguo, and what Mizuno Nobumoto said was the secret word when he entered Yuguo's boudoir in the past.

"Knock three times, two times each."

"Yes, you have to wear a face covering. The woman who came out to greet me must have thought it was me, and she must not speak at this time. I've been there before. At that time, I will tell you why I did not make a clear statement to the Imagawa envoy. Then, we scrutinize it. ”

Mizuno Nobumoto looked at Nobujin, nodded, and strode away. The cicadas overhead rested for a moment and began to whine again. Whenever the sea breeze blows, it rolls up smoke-like dust. Mizuno Nobumoto began to sweat on his back. He spat out the dust from his mouth and stared up at the sky.

In any case, it is very bad for outsiders to know that they have fornicated with women outside the city in the past, which will affect his position as the governor of the family. Yu Guo is delicate and cute, and her delicate mind and body make Mizuno Nobumoto fall for her. But if he marries her back to the city, it will be difficult to handle the affairs of the city in the future, and he knows that Yu Guo's brother is secretly in contact with many wealthy families such as the Oda family, and marrying Yu Guo back to the city is tantamount to arranging a detailed work for himself.

However, if you deceive Xinjin into Yuguo's residence and secretly get rid of him, you will not only get rid of Xinjin, but also quell the rumors that you have fornicated with women outside the city. This matter is not only killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone, because Yu Guoke is dead set on Mizuno Nobuyuan.

Mizuno Nobumoto shielded himself from the scorching sun with his hands, and when he walked into the city, he broke away his personal guards and walked into the courtyard. In the scorching sun, Gonrokuro Akutagawa of the nursing garden instructed three craftsmen to fiddle with the stones by the creek to draw water to the spring.

"Quan Liu, can you bring the water over Shun Lì?" Mizuno Nobumoto asked.

Quan Rokuro, who was watching everyone busy with his back hand, replied solemnly: "City Lord." The place where you stand is where the lantern is placed. ”

"Kwon Liu, come here." Mizuno Nobumoto pretended to enjoy the view of the courtyard and walked out seven or eight rooms away. Gonrokuro Akutagawa is actually a ninja. Since the Nanmu family began to cultivate ninjas in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, military generals from all over the country have vied to follow suit, and ninjas have spread all over the world, "You secretly go to the bear mansion tonight." ”

"Ahh This ......"

"Listen to ......" (To be continued......
