The next moment, several soldiers entered the temple.

"Arrest both of them!" Without the slightest pause or hesitation, Tokimi directly pointed at Akechi Mitsuhide and Suzume, who did not know what was going to happen, and ordered.

"Toki-sama!?" Akechi Mitsuhide, who didn't expect to be treated like this when he came back this time, looked at Toki Mei with an incredible face, wanting to see the truth of the matter from her face.

But unfortunately, she only saw firmness and calmness, and the fact that she didn't arrest them at all represented the panic and fear of tearing her face with the Imagawa family, or the hysterical madness, which made Akechi Mitsuhide more and more puzzled.

"......" Takenaka Hanbei opened his mouth when he saw this, but in the end, he didn't say a word of persuasion-

Probably because with the marriage agreement reached, Mino has officially entered the relationship with Imagawa Yoshimoto's hostile camp, right? In that case, it's not incomprehensible to arrest Akechi Mitsuhide and Suzume again.

It's a big deal not to kill them, just take good care of them, and you can also use them as bargaining chips when you fail to do things, so I endured the discomfort in my heart and didn't interfere with Tokimi's orders.

At the same time, although Mamoru Ando was also surprised, he had already heard about the changes in Tokimi from Inaba Ryotsu and the clan Naomoto, and he knew that he was likely to be treated the same if he rashly offended, so he also did not persuade him at this time, but planned to wait until the matter was over to try to persuade Tokimi to change his mind, in order to repay the two for saving him from suffering.

"Do you want to resist?" Suzume stood beside Akechi Mitsuhide in a vigilant posture, watching as she gradually surrounded her, but in fact, when it really broke out, several soldiers who were not her and Akechi Mitsuhide's opponent asked lightly.

"Why?" Akechi Mitsuhide looked directly at Tokimi's face and asked with a puzzled face.

"It's not easy to get back from Saito Yoshiryu's hands and take back the Mino that Saito Michizo took back into the hands of my Toki clan, and I don't want to hand it over again so easily. Even if Imagawa Yoshimoto promised me, he would still canonize me as Mino's guardian afterwards and let Mino return to the name of the Toki clan. But after all, it was just an empty promise from Imagawa Yoshimoto. I still want to try if there is any other way to keep Mino and keep Mino in the future than this option. Instead of refusing, Toki replied by looking into Akechi Mitsuhide's puzzled eyes.

To put it bluntly, I am still unwilling, unwilling to give up the right to get it, unwilling to take back the Mino that I finally took back into someone else's thing again, and I can only become its nominal manager. And I don't know if it's the influence of something called ambition that comes from demonization.

"This will plunge Mino into the flames of war and leave countless people homeless, even then, do you want to do this?" Akechi Mitsuhide, who didn't want to see Mino who had been painstakingly run by Michizo Saito, was so ruined asked again.

"Isn't Mino in the war now?" Toki Mei asked rhetorically.

"But this could have been avoided." Wise Mitsuhide said.

"But the people of Mino will not accept it." Mi Toki retorted.

Then he didn't bother to argue with Akechi Mitsuhide anymore, and said directly to the soldiers, "Take them down and take them under strict supervision." ”

"Yes."

"Hikari Xiu-san?" Suzume asked.

"Don't do it, go with them." Wise Guangxiu got up and said coldly.

The two then left the hall with the polite soldiers, and were taken into a room that was usually used to house guests, but was now temporarily converted into a cell.

"It's really a sudden change." Suzume stood at the window of the room, looking at the guards outside, muttering in a relaxed tone.

"I didn't expect this to happen at the end." Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and said with an incomprehensible look. Then after a pause, he turned his head to look at Suzume and asked, "Can you escape?" ”

"Yes. Do you want to escape? Suzume nodded and replied very easily.

"Then when it's night, you can escape, and then go to Owari and report what happened here to Imagawa, Oda, and Saito Michi, so that they can come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to deal with the changes in Mino." Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.

"What about you?" Suzume asked suspiciously.

"I'm going to stay here." Akechi Mitsuhide replied, "I'm going to see with my own eyes what this Toki-sama wants to do." ”

"Then I'd better stay. After all, the task that Qin Jun gave me is to ensure your safety, and if you have an accident because of these things, then there is no way to explain it to Qin Jun. Suzume shook her head and simply refused.

"You...... What about the news? Akechi Mitsuhide frowned.

Although she understood that Qin Heqing's purpose in asking Ling Nu to come over to protect her was really just to protect her, after hearing Ling Nu say these words directly to her face, she still felt a little awkward in her heart, and there was a sense that Qin Heqing was playing some bad idea, or beating her idea, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"It's easy, use this." Suzumi smiled and reached out in her arms, and a bronze mirror about the size of an adult's palm was taken out by her.

"Bronze mirror?" Wise Guangxiu, who didn't know the existence of the bronze mirror, was stunned.

"You'll find out later." As she spoke, Suzume sent her power into the bronze mirror, activating the resentment that belonged to Ayukawa contained on it, and connected with Qin Heqing, who was stationed under Inabayama Castle with the army in Mino at this time.

……

At the same time, under Inabayama Castle, in the home camp of the Shibata Katsu family-

"Suzume, what's the matter?" Qin Heqing, who was notified by Ayukawa, took out a bronze mirror and put it in front of him, activated his resentment, and looked at the face of the bell girl who appeared in the mirror and wondered.

"Yes, Mitsuhide-san and I were imprisoned by Toki Mei and said, "Ah, look, this is where we are being held." As she spoke, Suzume took a mirror and compared it around the room, showing her surroundings.

"Yo, it's not bad." Qin Heqing joked.

But this is not to blame him, after all, judging from the cell information revealed by Suzumi and her mental outlook, the matter is indeed not big or urgent, otherwise Suzume would not be so good.

"Suzume, give me the mirror." And then right here, Akechi Mitsuhide's voice came out of the mirror.

followed the picture and changed from a bell girl to a wise Guan Xiu with a somewhat wide forehead and a serious face.

The plan failed, and although Toki Mei killed Saito Yoshiryu as planned and seized actual control of Mino, for some reason, she did not lead Mino to surrender as promised, but prepared to gather all of Mino's forces to resist. I need you to report these to Imagawa-sama immediately, so that Imagawa-sama will not mistakenly think that the plan is in progress and affect the army's strategy against Mino. ”
