"Who the hell are you...... Slowly, listening to the accent is a bit of an Owari tone, are you from the Oda family? Inabayamachu Saito Michizo asked as he looked at the young man in front of him and pointed out the secret mountain path to enter Inabayama Castle.

"Huh. It is true that he was born from the Owari Iwakura Oda family. The young man did not hide his identity, but replied with a smile, "It's Kotaro Shigesuke Horio down there...... His father was the elder of the Iwakura family, and after His Royal Highness Kiyoshu arrived in Iwakura, he moved here with his mother and father to live nearby. Later, he became a member of the Luo family. ”

This young man was the same as Horio Shigesuke, who followed Toyotomi Hideyoshi in history, and he and his father were retainers of the Iwakura Oda clan in Owari Province, but after Oda Nobunaga defeated the Iwakura Oda clan and unified the Owari family, he and his father and mother came to settle in the vicinity of Inabayama in Minokoku Province.

It's just that less than a year after they settled in the local area, their family was found by the Luo family lurking in the country of Minong, and under the persuasion of the people of the Luo family, the two father and son joined the Luo family and moved to a better place in the country of Meino to resettle.

Originally, in history, Horio Shigersuke's father died of illness after settling in the Inaba Mountains for two years due to poverty, but now after joining the Luo family, his father still lives happily with his mother because he received a good salary. This time, it was also Horio Shigesuke who was instructed to introduce the Mino pit viper Saito Michizo to the secret mountain path that he had discovered to enter Inabayama Castle when he settled nearby.

"Oh, is that His Royal Highness Yasuharu Horio, who is as famous as His Royal Highness Yamauchi Moritoyo?" Saito Michizo asked immediately after hearing this. As the original lord of Mino Province, he was naturally very aware of the situation of Owari Province as a leader. He also happens to know about the situation of Horio Shisuke's father, Taiharu Horio.

"Exactly!" Hearing that the famous Warring States Mino pit viper actually knew his father's former prestige. Shigersuke Horio was clearly pleased.

"I really can't think of it. Inabayama Castle, where the Saito family has lived for generations, no one even knew that there was such a secret mountain path to enter the castle, but it was discovered by Your Excellency not long after settling here. Michizo Saito also said at this time. At the same time, he was also secretly shocked that the Luo family could find such a person, and he became more and more jealous of the Luo family in his heart.

"My lord, I think that since you have already determined that you can pass through this mountain road, you should still inform Nobunaga of Owari and let him follow the agreement he had previously made with the adults in Kyoto. It is better to send troops to the border of Mino Province to attract the attention of the entire Mino Country. At this time, the envoy of the Luo family reminded.

"So, what will happen to me next? Can you be sure that something will happen to Yoshiryu Saito in the city? Facing the construction of the envoy of the Luo family, Saito Michizo did not respond immediately, but asked.

"I'll have to wait nearby, and in the future, some of my family's men will also arrive here and lurk." The envoy of the Luo clan replied, "As for Lord Saito Yoshiryu in the castle, it will be dealt with by the family's doctor. ”

"What? Physician? Saito Michizo was a little surprised when he heard this. Before, he didn't know that Saito Yoshiryu had sent someone to invite the Luo family to send a doctor to come to the rescue and treatment.

"Exactly. At that time, the people of the main family in Inabayama Castle will send information, so when that time comes. It's time for me to act. The envoy of the Luo family did not elaborate much about the doctor, but only gave a simple answer.

"In that case, let the old man personally write a handwritten letter to the old man's son-in-law in Owari." Seeing that the envoy of the Luo family didn't plan to say more, Saito Michizo finally nodded.

Although he was a little jealous of these people in the Luo family in his heart, he knew that if he didn't cooperate and control Inabayama Castle, then even if these Luo family took this opportunity to seize Inabayama Castle, they would inevitably be besieged by the wealthy clans of the Saito family, thus losing Inabayama Castle, so he was not afraid that there would be problems in this.

So, in this way, this letter was urgently delivered to Oda Nobunaga. When he saw that in the letter, his father-in-law, Michizo Saito, clearly stated that his plan to regain control of the Saito family was about to be realized, Oda Nobunaga immediately exclaimed.

He did seem to have made a mistake in this matter. The reason why he agreed to support Saito Michizo in the tripartite meeting with the envoys of the Saito Michizo and the Luo family was also because in his opinion, even with his cooperation and the support of the Luo family, it would be difficult for Saito Michizo to return to Mino Country.

On the contrary, he also intends to take this opportunity to use Saito Michizo's identity to use stratagems against Mino Province to seek Mino Province's. You know, since Oda Nobunaga himself intends to dominate the world, then seizing Mino Province, and then passing through Guò Omi Province to Kamiro, this is the most convenient path to Shangluo, if it is really recaptured by Saito Michizo to regain control of Mino Province, then his plan to dominate the world will have to be changed.

"However, if my father-in-law can retake Mino, it won't be entirely a bad thing, at least in the short term, the Oda family will be safe to the north, which will give the Oda family more time to lay out." Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga immediately ordered the important ministers to be summoned to discuss how to fulfill the agreement and go to the border of Minokoku to put pressure on them.

Just as Oda Nobunaga was preparing to fulfill the tripartite agreement with the Luo family and Saito Michizo, in Inabayama Castle in Minokoku, Saito Yoshiryu had just met with Hineno Bichumori, who had come to see him.

Hineno Bichu Mamoru bent his knees in front of Saito Yoshiryu and said:

"There is one thing, Your Majesty has always wanted to sue you, but I didn't have the opportunity. I beg your pardon! My lord, in fact, you are not a descendant of Toki. ”

"What?...... What did you say? It's impossible. My biological mother, Sanfangye, is Toki Yoiyi's concubine, and I was born to her!" Saito Yoshiryu was immediately taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly exclaimed.

"Yes, but Your Majesty also asked your mother Sanfang Ye about this matter." Hineno Bichumori raised his head and said, "Because only mothers know whose child they have in their arms...... Miss Miyoshino said that you are the child of the three people of the Dao. And she wants you father and son to live in harmony. That's what she asked me for. ”

"Shut up! Shut up! It's impossible. Michizo Saito once told me personally. He said that I was the child of the old lord Toki Yoriyi, and he just treated me as an adopted son...... What is his purpose in doing this? You said! You say? Saito Yoshiryu hurriedly asked, but Beizhong Mamoru said unhurriedly:

"The three great people of the Dao may have their own ideas, but we don't know very well."

After pausing for a moment, he continued: "The three great people of the Dao once said that the status of the subordinate is low, and he is not capable of leading the country of Mino, so in order to make the remnants of Toki obey him, he had to tell them that the child in the womb of Miyoshino is the seed of Toki. In this way, they will be completely subservient. However, people are not as good as heaven, but Saito Yoshiryu, a rebel, believes in the lies made up by Zaixia, thinking that Zaixia is not his biological father, coupled with the discord of ambitious people, making him want to crusade against Zaisa, which is really a trick ......"

At this time, Saito Yoshiryu had already looked at Bi Zhong Shou with wide eyes, and thought in a panic: "So, Bi Zhong Shou once confirmed my life experience to my parents? ”

To know. The reason why Saito Yoshiryu rebelled against his father Saito Michizo was because he believed that Saito Michizo had killed Toki Yorigi and seized his beloved concubine Miyoshino. At this time, Sanfangye already had Lai Yi's child Saito Yoshiryu. Therefore, Saito Michizo raised him as an adopted son. But according to what Beichu Mamoru said at this time, it was a strategy that Saito Michizo devised in order to make Toki's retainers submit to him.

And Saito Yoshiryu had also heard the rumors that his mother had an affair with Saito Michizo before he and Lai Yi, and now he is really a little confused: "Who do you want to believe?"

"If you think about this matter thoroughly, you will find that some things are indeed not as you imagined!" Bei Zhong Mamoru continued:

"Think about it, a person as talented as the three great Dao people, would he not understand that the lord has the intention of rebellion? It's just that he thinks that one day he will be able to explain the relationship between your father and son to you, and this misunderstanding will be dissolved, so he didn't get rid of you! Think about it, would someone like a pit viper still let you live once he knows that you are not his child? This is the best proof of this!"

"Is that all you have to say?" Saito Yoshiryu's voice was already a little trembling, and he whispered:

"If you say that, then I didn't kill the enemy for my deceased father, Toki Yoriyi, but became a rebel who killed my own brother and father?" Although the body of Saito Michizo has not been found, so much time has passed, although there are rumors in various parts of Mino that Saito Michizo is still alive, but since Saito Michizo has not appeared, it can only mean that Saito Michizo is dead, which is also a fact that Saito Yoshiryu himself admitted.

"This qiē is born from misunderstanding, for this matter, I have also persuaded the three great people of the Tao to explain to you as soon as possible, however, the three great people of the Tao replied like this: not to say, in the next in the hand library of Saito Yoshiryu has been written very clearly, in the next thought that he will see sooner or later......"

"What! My hand is ...... in the library," Yoshitaka Saito exclaimed again.

"Yes! He used to say that. ”

"Good! That's the end of it. Saito Yoshiryu already had a painful face at this time, "You go down first." ”

"Yes!" When he heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he had planned to hide this truth in his heart and never tell it again, but he was shocked by a letter that was suddenly sent to him by a mysterious person the day before. Because the letter was written to him by Saito Michizo himself, the content of the letter was very simple, that is, to ask Bichu Mamoru to tell Saito Yoshiryu the truth of the facts.

For Saito Michizo's handwriting, Bichu Mori is very familiar with it, so the first time he saw this letter, he was completely sure that this letter was really from Saito Michizo. In this way, this proves that Saito Michizo is really not dead, and when the family governor Saito Yoshiryu suddenly fell seriously ill, this previous family governor suddenly appeared again, which seems to hide a lot of things that Beizhong Mamoru does not know!

In this way, after hesitating at home for nearly two days and two nights, Bichu Mamoru finally chose to follow the instructions in Saito Michizo's letter and came to tell Sato Yoshiryu the truth of the original facts, but it seems that it was also out of Bi Nakamori's selfishness, and he did not tell Saito Yoshiryu the fact that Saito Michizo was alive.

Originally, Beizhong Mamoru was ready to be punished by Saito Yoshiryu for this, but Saito Yoshiryu seemed to be deeply hit by this truth, and he escaped because of it.

And after Beizhong was gone, just like that, Saito Yoshiryu pondered in his room for a long time, and he sat there without moving.

Now, the qiē that Bei Zhongshou said is simply an earth-shattering thing for Saito Yoshiryu. He pretended to have leprosy because he wanted to kill Michizo Saito to avenge the murder of his father, but Michizo Saito was his biological father. Originally, he had already decided to attack Oda Nobunaga of Owari Province during this period of time, but now it was as if Oda Nobunaga of Owari Province was attacking first......
