"No, because this hermit has not been heard from since he left with Akechi Mitsuhide."

Sawada Yayin shook his head and said: "However, in the folklore of Duhe Town, it is mentioned that the hermit did not go to burn the Honnoji Temple together after following Akechi Mitsuhide away, but turned his head to find Toyotomi Hideyoshi, so Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to come back to deal with Akechi Mitsuhide at the first time, so as to successfully seize the fruits of the victory of the Oda family." ”

"What kind of operation is this?" Shizi Xuan raised his eyebrows and said: "This hermit first helped Wise Mitsuhide deal with Oda Nobunaga, and he must have promised Wise Mitsuhide a lot of benefits, such as replacing Oda Nobunaga as the co-leader of the island country, no matter how bad it is, he can be stable on one side, otherwise Wise Mitsuhide would not have made up his mind to make a move on Oda Nobunaga, but this hermit turned around and directly sold Wise Mitsuhide and turned his head to support Toyotomi Hideyoshi; But most importantly, if the hermit can foresee the future, then why doesn't he just support the final victor, Tokugawa Ieyasu? ”

"Because Tokugawa Ieyasu's old turtle was so capable of living that he forced Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi to die to become the new shogun of the island country, so if that hermit was just an ordinary person with the ability to predict the future, his lifespan at that time was about fifty or sixty years old, so even if this hermit predicted that Tokugawa Ieyasu could become the final victor, he would choose to support Toyotomi Hideyoshi, because he could follow Toyotomi Hideyoshi for a few more years. Instead of following Tokugawa Ieyasu to pretend to be a turtle for decades. Liu Xing opened his mouth and complained.

Sawada Yayin smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "So this is the first version of folklore in Duhe Town, and it has begun to make up random nonsense in order to attract attention, in addition to several versions that mention that the hermit went to follow the other generals of the Oda family, and even said that the hermit was actually pretended to be someone sent by Tokugawa Ieyasu, in short, this version has long been too many to count, but from the current situation, we can be sure that this hermit should not be an ordinary person, Otherwise, White River City would not have deliberately run to find something, but there is another question involved here - where did White River City know about this hermit? You must know that the folklore about this hermit has only been circulated in Duhe Town and a few surrounding towns, after all, for ordinary people, this is just an after-dinner conversation. ”

The question raised by Sawada Yayin made Liu Xing and the others a little speechless for a while, because folklore like this can be heard in any small town, and each one is more mysterious than the other, and at the same time there is a reason.

However, these folklore are basically passed down from generation to generation in the town, and there are very few who can "get out of the circle", after all, the folklore in your town is not necessarily as interesting as the folklore in our town, and it sounds more real.

Therefore, it is unlikely that this kind of folklore will be widely circulated, because no one will take the initiative to mention this folklore to outsiders, at most, when talking about related topics, mention such a sentence, and then everyone laughs and laughs.

But more importantly, even if you believe that a certain folklore has a certain degree of authenticity, this folklore is not necessarily worth a visit, because as Sawada Yayin just said, folklore can easily extend into various versions, and those later versions are basically the same as the beginning, and the later plot direction is more and more self-free, and many details at the beginning will be ignored.

Let's take this folklore in Duhe Town, at the beginning, this folklore may also mention that after the hermit left, some villagers or other people with ulterior motives went to the hermit's residence to look for something, and there must have been some stories in between, but the key point is whether the good things in the hermit's residence were taken away, which is related to whether this place is worth a trip; As for the later versions of folklore, nine times out of ten they will simply ignore this paragraph and start to make up the hermit's experience later, because everyone likes to hear the story of the hermit.

Of course, in addition to the reliability of the news, there is also a point of time, after all, hundreds of years have passed since the hermit followed Akechi Mitsuhide away, even if no one takes some of the things in the hermit's residence, then these things are likely to be damaged with the passage of time, after all, even some magic props may lose their original role after hundreds of years, just like the few things that Liu Xing still stored in Matsui Yui's hands.

Therefore, according to Liu Xing's understanding of Baihe City, he must have deliberately gone to Duhe Town to get the hermit's things after he determined that there was a good chance that the things were still in Duhe Town.

Could there be such a possibility?

A bold idea once again appeared in Liu Xing's mind!

That's right, White River City is the hermit back then!

Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but say: "Don't you think there is such a possibility, that is, Baihe City did not go to Duhe Town to get the hermit's things, but to take the things that he put in Duhe Town back then!" ”

Looking at Zhang Jingxu and the others with a surprised face, Liu Xing continued: "First of all, according to the things that we have intersected with Baihe City in the past few years, we can be sure that Baihe City was not an ordinary person a long time ago, although he seems to have some brains that are not enough, he often does some inexplicable things, and he has always been stabilized by us, but no matter how badly he loses in the end, he can make a comeback every time, and his strength is also steadily improving, So I now suspect that his defeat was actually in his plan, for example, when Yin En and I were on the Yueshi, there was actually a chance that he would be able to deal with us earlier, because if there was a real fight, they would be able to crush us in White River City. ”

At this time, Yin En nodded very cooperatively, and said: "That's right, at that time, the difference in combat effectiveness between us and Baihe City on the Yueshi was not half a star, and the most important thing was that the crew of the Yueshi was all their people, so they would definitely have a passenger list in their hands, so Baihe City must have known that Liu Xing, an acquaintance, was on board." ”

Hearing Yin En say this, Liu Xing realized that there was indeed something wrong with the Yue Shi module at that time, because just like Yin En said, Baihe City must have known that he was in the opposite camp with him, so why didn't Baihe City send someone to find trouble for him in advance? You must know that the Yue Shi at that time were all people from Baihe City, which was also the advantage of their camp in Baihe City, but Baihe City did not do this, and from beginning to end they treated themselves and Yin En as non-existent.

This is obviously a bit abnormal.

"That's right, when we met with White River City in Manchester later, White River City had already determined our identity and location, but he still didn't choose to take the initiative to attack, and brought people from the Corpse Food Sect to trouble us, and didn't even send people to delay our actions, but has been passively defending." Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

At this time, Li Hanxing also slapped his thigh and said seriously: "Also, when he was in Duwang Town, when Baihe City was still using a fake identity to make a false deal with us, he could have solved us all in the school first, and then ran to seize Wang Haiyang's body, but he didn't do it, even if he did it, it would delay him for a few minutes." ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Liu Xing originally just wanted to prove that the hermit was Baihe City, so he casually mentioned such a sentence, but he didn't expect Yin En and the others to help him supplement this reason.

But now that everyone analyzes it like this, Liu Xing suddenly found that there was indeed something wrong with this White River City, and what he did was unjustifiable at all, even if the SAN value of his current character card might already be in the single digits.

However, we can't digress right now, and now this topic also involves the identity of players in White River City, so it's not appropriate to continue the conversation.

Therefore, Liu Xing pretended to nod calmly and said: "That's right, there are too many secrets on him in Baihe City, so it is entirely possible that he is the hermit in the folklore of Duhe Town, as for why he has lived for so many years, it is very likely that it is because of Turner; For some reason, Turner sent White River City back to Duhe Town during the Warring States Period, so White River City relied on his historical knowledge to become a hermit who could predict the future, and then was busy with some unspeakable things, and the things here should also have something to do with Turner. ”

"In the end, Shirakawa Castle waited for Oda Nobunaga's messenger Akechi Mitsuhide, and as a result, he knew the history, and he also knew why Oda Nobunaga invited him, and Shirakawa Castle probably didn't expect this to happen, so in order to avoid joining the list of Honnoji barbecue conferences, Shirakawa Castle had to find a reason to perfunctory Akechi Mitsuhide, but because Akechi Mitsuhide burned down Honnoji Temple is still a matter of opinion, so Shirakawa City doesn't know if Akechi Mitsuhide in front of him has murderous intentions towards Oda Nobunaga."

"In order for history to go on smoothly according to the original plot, and for the sake of not being killed by Akechi Mitsuhide on the grounds of 'you know too much', Shirakawa Castle can only use the Spring and Autumn Period penmanship to prevaricate Akechi Mitsuhide, nothing more than Oda Nobunaga did not have the fate of being the lord of the island country or something, so if Achichi Mitsuhide has already moved to kill Oda Nobunaga, then Shirakawa Castle's words are also fueling the fire, at most let the change of Honnoji happen a few days earlier, and the change of Honnoji will not have much impact on history even if it happens a few days earlier."

"If Akechi Mitsuhide didn't plan to do anything to Oda Nobunaga at that time, then everything would be more in line with Shirakawa Castle's intentions, because this history is naturally best if it can not be changed, and as a result, the next plot development made Shirakawa Castle realize that he was the real protagonist of this history, it was him' Convincing Akechi Mitsuhide to burn down the Honnoji Temple, but this is not bad news for Shirakawa Castle, as it is likely to have something to do with the reason Turner brought him here, and after the Honnoji Rebellion ended, Shirakawa Castle retired and left the past. ”

"If that's the case, then all of this is easy to explain, White River City didn't decide to come and hunt for treasures after hearing about the folklore that circulated in Duhe Town, but specially sent to find the things he put there back then, and this is also the reason why those things have been kept until now, and it only took a few days for White River City to find them, but if this is really true, then what will be what White River City left in Duhe Town? It must have something to do with the fact that he will be sent back in time by Turner. ”

"Exactly, it should be what Turner wants to do!"

Zhang Jingxu frowned, and said with some uncertainty: "If you consider the problem from the worst point of view, then I suspect that Turner had already predicted that the battle of Gongwu would happen, and also predicted that the Gongjia faction would be interested in that piece of horseshoes, so Turner sent White River City back to the past, just to let White River City participate in the change of the Honnoji Temple, and then find an opportunity to take away the horseshoe!" If that's the case, maybe the horseshoe doesn't have any side effects, because Oda Nobunaga's death was deliberately calculated by an Is, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi was just a natural birth, old age, sickness and death, as for why their families lived so badly, in fact, it is all taken for granted, after all, their successors have ascended to the throne through abnormal means, so cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is the most correct, or the only choice for the successors. ”

"Wang Defa, Turner, did he calculate so many things?"

Ding Kun couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, then there are two possibilities next, one is that White River City brought the real horseshoe to Turner, and the other is that White River City hid the real horseshoe in Duhe Town." ”

"No, in fact, the third possibility, that is, Turner asked White River City to hide the real horseshoe in Duhe Town, and then let White River City take out the real horseshoe at this time, and then White River City can appear in the public faction as a savior, because the reason why the public faction will evacuate the city of Nagoya is that they prefer to obtain the horseshoe hidden in Nagoya than to gain control of the Nagoya city circle, and in the end, they find that the horseshoe they have worked so hard to find is actually fake, I believe that the public faction that steals chickens and rice will be disappointed by this, and Baihe City defected to the public faction with a real horseshoe at this time, and I believe that the public faction will not treat him badly. ”

Liu Xing paused and continued: "Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Baihe City wants to ring that horseshoe by itself. ”
