Chapter Seventy-Five: Minon's Pit Viper
Extremely sharp, the numerical value even reached a terrifying 62 points of spiritual attributes, which made Pei Chen's divergent spirit wave coverage significantly expanded, and it was not impossible to even maintain the surface mind reading state of opening the thought probe skill for a long time.
Almost all the thoughts of everyone in the castle tower are within the range of his mental power divergence, and the emotional reactions on the surface are also read one by one. Although it is only a superficial emotion, it is enough for Pei Chen to grasp a lot of things. He could clearly feel the complex, dissatisfied, and even resentful look in the beautiful eyes around him.
Hahaha, it's not impossible to say that you will be split up in the next second!
Pei Chen suddenly laughed, and in this silent and solemn occasion, "Okay, maybe you guys are really stupid...... Ahem, I mean courage, I'd rather die than give in......" His gaze deliberately glanced at Shibata Katsuie, causing the battle fool to be furious, and he almost drew his sword in anger and slashed at him.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" The blonde-haired Ji Wujun frowned, and his expression became even more cold.
Pei Chen raised his head and looked at this famous sixth day demon king in history, oh no, now it is the sixth day Meng King, I always feel that this girl who has great dreams and ambitions, but has been destroyed by himself, even the dream has become so small and ridiculous The girl is inexplicably very sad, and she can't help but feel very guilty.
"Shinna! You can really watch them, your beloved subordinatesβ" He simply didn't even need an honorific title, and stretched out his hand and pointed out a slender white index finger to hit Shibata Katsuie, Niwa Nagahide, Maeda Inuchiyo, etc., "All of them have become the souls of the sword, right?" Or do you want to live those fugitive lives? β
"Bold and impudent!" At this moment, even Niwa Nagahide, the most stable and intellectual member of the Oda family, couldn't help it, and got up directly, and closed the folding fan and pointed directly at the arrogant guy below, wanting to scold.
"That's enough, Manchiyo, step aside!" Oda Shinna looked at Pei Chen expressionlessly, stopping Niwa Nagahide's move, "You should know that as the eldest daughter, it is impossible for me to betray the Oda family." β
"It's not for you to betray!" Pei Chen immediately took over the conversation, he knew that Oda Shinna's belief must have been shaken, otherwise he would never have been here for so long, he had been paying attention to the gravitational lines around him, and was ready to tear his face and copy the bricks directly.
"Did you misunderstand something? I never said that you would betray the Oda family......" Pei Chen's mind turned sharply, and he quickly weaved his words, "Surrender does not necessarily mean betraying the Oda family, as long as you continue to survive in the name of the Oda family." β
"Oh? Do we still remain independent? Will Imagawa Yoshimoto agree? Oda Shinna sneered, she couldn't think of any reason why the princess of the Imagawa family, who had a haughty and eccentric temperament, would let them go.
"Of course, independence is impossible." Pei Chen's cold sweat broke out, this is too beautiful, right? "You must temporarily serve as vassals of the Imagawa family, just like Matsudaira Motoyasu did before."
"What's the difference between that and betrayal? It's hard to keep the righteousness of the Lord's house! You despicable fellow!! First of all, Shibata Katsuya shouted loudly.
Pei Chen frowned, feeling that the green tendons on his forehead were about to burst out, and he deliberately didn't look away from looking at the angry General Ji. This kind of stupid military general who can only fight, is not good at using his brain, can't even read words, and is not even good at drinking, if he has too much trouble with her, he will become stupid.
"None, rude fellow! How dare you ignore me like this and kill you......" Shibata Katsuie's face flushed, and he became even more indignant.
"Well, I'm only talking temporary." Pei Chen explained to Oda's commander-in-chief, "It's just that you need to become a vassal before Yoshimoto goes to Luo!" After she forms the Imagawa shogunate, you will naturally have the opportunity to stand on your own! How about I can guarantee that this time will not exceed three years? After thinking about it, he still said a more reliable time, too short Yiyuan will be dissatisfied, too long will be dissatisfied with these girls in front of him.
"You should know that Yoshimoto has already occupied Inabayama Castle and choked Mino's throat, and it is only a matter of time before she completely rules Mino. At that time, there was Imagawa in front and Mino in the back, and the Oda family didn't have any chance! Seeing that Oda Shinna didn't speak, just lowered his head and was thinking, as if he was weighing the possibility of his words, Pei Chen decided to add another fire.
"And, to put it mildly, if you all die in battle and the Oda family is gone, is it true loyalty? If you die, then there is really nothing, only the living can make history, the living are called heroes, and the dead are corpses! β
This was Pei Chen's last straw, both to save their lives and to completely crush them. He is not a professional negotiator, if this last argument is useless, he can only say it here, and let Imagawa Yoshimoto directly send troops to push over.
In a completely quiet environment, everyone even subconsciously lightened the sound of breathing, and this cold and terrifying confrontation scene didn't know how long it lasted before it was broken by Pei Chen, who couldn't bear it.
"Forget it, it doesn't seem like you're going to be able to make a decision in such a short period of time." Pei Chen patted the clothes and pants on his body and stood up, "Then, let's wait a while!" Shinna-sama, can I wait another week...... Oh, sorry, it should be said seven days, and I hope you'll be able to give me an answer after that. β
Oda Shinna gritted her teeth tightly, looking at Pei Chen, who was about to leave, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, it was too difficult for her to make such a major decision in such a short period of time.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Walking out of the castle tower and wandering around the streets of Cheongju City at will, looking at this poor and backward ancient city, Pei Chen couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for Junfu Castle and Okazaki Castle that was barely under his rule, although he had only been the city lord for less than a week.
But what's going on with that scorching gaze behind you?
"Go if you want!" Pei Chen turned around to look at the girl who wanted to speak and stopped, and his eyes were erratic, and said helplessly, "I know that Saito Michizo is in this city, and I don't forbid your behavior, what are you worried about?" β
"Yes! Thank you so much! He bowed in surprise and left.
Looking at the slender back of the girl when she left, Pei Chen knocked her head thoughtfully: "Meinong's pit viper...... Tsk, what's the matter with me?! As a Chinese, he has no sense of identity with Japan's Warring States history, and he doesn't think that the so-called pit viper has anything to make a fuss about.
In comparison, he would rather focus on when he will be able to kill the so-called future man Sagara Yoshiharu, but as far as the current development is concerned, it is really not an easy task to kill that lucky guy.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the evening, Akechi Mitsuhide returned.
And behaved eccentricly.
Probably blushing and asking Pei Chen to meet a certain willful and arrogant old man and listen to the teachings, as for when Pei Chen proposed to her to go together, she was decisively rejected by the girl who spewed steam above her head, such an abnormal performance couldn't help but make Pei Chen subconsciously feel that it was not a pleasant journey!
In fact, the same is true. When Pei Chen just walked into Saito Michizo's room, the lonely old man who was sitting on a tatami mat holding a cup and lamenting his life directly broke out and hurt people-
I saw him throw away the cup in his hand suddenly, and with a quick hand, he grabbed Pei Chen's collar and yelled in his ear. Well, Pei Chen said that because he didn't feel the existence of evil thoughts, he couldn't react for a while, so he didn't hear what the old man was talking about.
However, for most of the space-time apostles whose bodies react faster than their brains, this kind of thing is very easy to solve, the so-called simple and rude, and the miracle of force!
So after seeing Michizo Saito's wrinkled hideous face close to his eyeballs, Pei Chen took a move that he had forgotten in the corner of his memory very decisively - a world-class uppercut, of course, he tried to control his strength after reacting halfway.
Yes, you heard it right, it's not trying to close the punch, it's just controlling the force that will definitely kill you.
In the room, there was only the dim candlelight and two people facing each other, one old and one young.
This kind of old house is inherently eerie, especially after nightfall, when the flickering shadows are ghostly in the dim candlelight, which is particularly frightening. Unfortunately, neither of the two people in the room were vegetarians.
Michizo Saito, known as Mino's pit viper, started from scratch as an oil merchant and forcibly took away the rich land of Mino to establish a state, and became a famous local feudal lord, so it is natural that such a famous person would not care about such a scene.
As for Pei Chen himself, he was even more joking, in this world that is suspected to be the background of the end of the law era, the scarlet stone inlaid in his left eye is the most terrifying ominous and weird, and the unscrupulous evil demonic aura is the most pure, as long as the cow, ghost, snake and god have to go around the road as long as they don't have the climate.
Saito's eyes were frighteningly sharp, the opposite of his old-fashioned appearance, like a poisonous snake that wanted to choose someone to devour. It's a pity that the bruises at the corners of his high, swollen eyes look particularly funny, completely canceling out this impression.
At most, it's just a stubborn and ugly old man who is hard to speak.
In this regard, Pei Chen just smiled nonchalantly, anyway, if the other party didn't speak, he wouldn't speak. Anyway, now that it is close to autumn, the weather is beginning to turn cold, very cool, and the characteristics of snakes are becoming more and more obvious in him, and not moving for a long time is simply the basic skill.
Sure enough, I always buy rice cakes...... Ahem, the old Saito Michizo couldn't support it at first, he glanced at the half-burned candlestick, and then looked at the rude guy in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder if the person under the mask was already asleep?
Next year will only be twenty years old, but the concentration is even better than that of an old man like himself?
He touched his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "Your Excellency Pei Chen, isn't it too rude for you to come here and not say a word like this?" β
Pei Chen raised his eyebrows, and immediately responded, breaking Saito Michizo's rude idea of guessing in his heart whether he was asleep: "Didn't you call me here?" Why do you want me to speak? β
Saito Michisanyi is really a young man with sharp teeth, but he doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young. He was like a poisonous snake spitting letters, and his voice was slow: "But you hurt me as soon as you came in, shouldn't you apologize?" β
He was referring to the bruise at the corner of his eye.
"Huh? Oh! Pei Chen was slightly stunned, then reacted, nodded naturally with a calm expression, and apologized directly, "It really shouldn't be, okay, I'm sorry, I accidentally injured you." β
it! Saito Michizo's careful thinking was completely frustrated, and the whole person's face was cloudy, as if he was about to go crazy.
Damn it! What the hell is going on with this guy?! How can you apologize so naturally?! It's terrible! Deep in his heart, the pit viper secretly raised his evaluation of Pei Chen.
