The winner has been divided, irrefutable.

In the background board composed of a cloaked and sweaty tiger and a stunned crowd, it was Itagaki Nobukata who struggled to wake up first. He walked up to Jing Zhen and said softly:

"Please also ask His Royal Highness Jingzhen to move to the city with me, the hall master must have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Oh, is Dr. Sakyo (Shintora Takeda) so confident in Zaixia?"

Hearing this, Itagaki Nobukata glanced at Jingzhen deeply with a complicated expression, and said:

"After yesterday's announcement, the owner of the hall immediately ordered someone to prepare a dinner...... as well as pillars. So no matter what the outcome is, His Royal Highness Jingzhen will meet the hall master, but the result may be slightly different. ”

As the name suggests, the pillar is an instrument used to perform the punishment. The so-called punishment is to tie a prisoner to a pillar, and two or more executioners use a spear to stab the prisoner from the waist dozens of times, and finally kill him in the throat, completely cutting off the tortured prisoner who is not dead, and it is one of the most common tortures in the Warring States period of Japan.

Walking behind Itagaki Nobukata, Jingzhen's pupils contracted violently, and the cold hairs on his body stood up, and a cold air rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet, instantly turning into drops of cold sweat and emerging from his forehead. In an instant, he seemed to suddenly return to the summer night when Izumo was on the run, the heads of Toramatsu and Wakamaru, the tyrannical smile of Niko Quanjiu, and the blood gushing out of Master Hirotaka's chest...... These memories that had not been dreamed of for a long time were surging again, and the stomach pouch and throat also reflexively vomited.

Summer goes to winter, Izumo to Kai, but the Warring States are still this Warring States, but the era is still this era. The cruel reality, the painful lesson, how can I forget it! Is it the style of Kyoto, the success of the business, or the little triumph of Mino, which gives you the illusion of being in control?

Because of arrogance, he pushed himself to the Jedi of going to the meeting alone and being a sword.

However, compared to that desperate rainy night, everything is different. In addition to the cranes, he also has a group of confidants who can entrust life and death and hand over their backs, since he mistakenly brought them into danger, then he should have the responsibility to take them away safely, no matter what the cost!

At this point, Jingzhen stopped and said to Itagaki Shinfang:

"Suruga Mamoru has a word first, and if he can succeed by luck, he can be a distinguished guest of the Takeda clan. I wonder if there is a small thing that can be done conveniently? ”

Of course, what is said below is true! It is said that His Royal Highness Jingzhen's 'secret technique' is really a miraculous skill, and this technique alone can become a distinguished guest in any family! A little thing is a little bit of a thing, but it's not inconvenient! ”

"Haha, I'm not interested in being a guest from another family." Jing Zhen snorted, pushed away Itagaki Nobukata's temptation, and continued:

"It's easy to say. After a day of hard work and unclean clothes, as a child of the samurai family, it would be rude to pay homage to Dr. Zuojing in such a posture! I also asked Suruga Mamoru to forgive me for a moment and send someone to send someone to take a bath and change clothes in the next dormitory. ”

"This is the proper meaning of the right, and there is no necessity." As the number one minister in the family, Itagaki Nobukata has considerable decision-making authority, and what Jing Zhen said is insignificant, and he took the initiative to "send someone to escort" and got rid of the suspicion of waiting for the opportunity to run away, so he nodded and agreed without thinking.

After returning to the dormitory, Jingzhen discussed with everyone, and then asked Mibuchi Fuji to prepare a thing alone, and then after going to bathe and change clothes, he marched to the inner city with the flag warriors waiting at the door.

It has only been more than ten years since the completion of the Tsusaki Pavilion, and the residences of the retainers and countrymen in various parts of the city are still in a state of continuous construction and repair, and even the residence of the lord of a country is also very simple.

Through the corridor through the courtyard, above the main hall, a Takeda general dressed in gorgeous armor is leaning behind a few cases, in the arms of a beautiful woman, holding a wine glass, around the hall to follow the Noh play to knock the beat, a long knife half out of the sheath across several cases, the knife face faintly visible a "left" word. Seven or eight civil and military men of different temperaments and ages were either wearing straight hangings or wearing armor, lined up on both sides of their sides, and dozens of attendants kept going in and out with their surnames, serving a steady stream of wine and meat in front of everyone.

It is said that the general of this hall is about thirty years old, with a gloomy face, a tiger's eye, a thick skeleton, and a burly body, although he has a lazy posture of indulging in drinking and having fun at this time, but like a crouching tiger that chooses people and devours them, it is difficult to make the people on his side relax in the slightest, and the cheap uncle and "Izumo wolf" Niko in Jingzhen's memory are quite similar to the long-lasting.

However, unlike Nizi's insidious and cunning, forbearance and ruthless wolf spirit, this general is obviously a rather bitter, fierce and violent tiger spirit.

Since entering Kai, Jingzhen has seen this temperament many times in Iitomi Torasaki, Itagaki Nobukata, and the generals of the Takeda clan in front of the hall at this moment, which should be derived from the unique temperament brought about by the hunter identity who is desperate for survival in the poor mountains and remote areas. But the intensity of this temperament in this general has far exceeded that of the generals of the Takeda clan combined.

That's right, this person is none other than Dr. Zuojing, the guardian of Kai Kingdom, and the head of the Takeda clan, Takeda Shintora. In addition to the longevity of the nunzi in his memory, this is the first time that he has seen the guardian daimyo who is really in charge of the real power of a country after Jingzhen crossed over.

Takeda Shintora was famous for his grievances and hatred with his son, the famous "Kai Tiger" Takeda Harunobu (Takeda Shingen), and was talked about because of his brutal killing of his subordinates and his eventual exile by his parents. But few people know that since this man inherited the position of family governor at the age of ten, he has been tossing and turning between external enemies, internal strife, and family separation.

He has no talent for external conciliation and internal reconciliation, and his territory has been watched by internal and external enemies all year round. Fortunately, he will fight, and he will only fight. Fighting one battle after another, winning and chasing, defeating and defeating, he fought again and again, and in the face of the boiling public opinion and the chaos of his retainers, he relied on the war to have a wife, children and allies, miraculously dragging out the two strong enemies of Imagawa and Hojo, unifying Kai, capturing half of Shinano, and laying the foundation for future generations to shine in the Warring States period. He changed his name to Tiger and forcibly gave the word Tiger to his many courtiers, after all, this man had everything by roaring and biting like a tiger.

In this tiger's body, the opposing elements of bravery and brutality, decisiveness and arrogance, pride and suspicion, generosity and greed, shrewdness and utilitarianism, family and selfishness are mixed and intertwined, making him and his love sword sect three left characters, and achieving an ominous name.

According to what was known after Jingzhen entered the city, Takeda Nobuhu had been fighting in all directions this year, successively defeating Imai Nobumoto, Oi Nobuyo, Sugata Yorimita, and Anayama Trade Wind, and forced the landing of Iitomi Humasa and Kasahara Nobushige, and basically pacified the "Great Rebellion in Xianglu Country" (see Remarks in Chapter 25), and it was not until now that Lidong stopped his troops to recuperate.

Although this fat tiger is not obvious on the surface, it can be seen from the words and deeds of Itagaki Shin Fang that it actually attaches great importance to the "ash blowing method" that he brings. And it is human nature to be strong and respectful, and to bully when you are weak, and if you want to get out of the tiger's den safely, you must not be able to show the slightest weakness to bully.

"In Xia Nizi Jingzhen, meet Dr. Zuojing!"

"Get up. I heard that the mining technique you brought from Kyoto was quite effective, but I wonder what you wanted. ”

"Returning to Dr. Zuojing, the art of mining is just a cover to cover people's eyes. It is actually the decree of the Shogunate Ashikaga Yoshiharu (Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiharu), entrusted by His Royal Highness Kyogoku Nakaku Shofu (Kyogoku Takayoshi) and Lord Mibuchi Harumu, please ask Dr. Sakyo to go to Luo! ”

"What!"
