Shocked by Maeda Toshiie's analysis, Yoshihiro Shiba was a little confused. He lowered his head to think and organize his logic.
Judging from Maeda Toshiie's statement, whether the relationship between the Shiba family and the Oda family is harmonious or hostile mainly depends on Yoshihiro Shiba's attitude towards Oda Nobunaga.
Oda Nobunaga was ambitious, and there was no stopping the Oda family from going to Luo. Will the Spo family stand up and try to help others, or will they cooperate and coexist?
As long as Shiba Yoshigan is willing to cooperate, Oda Nobunaga will not be his enemy, and will even continue to retain Owari Shiba's barb-like foreign domain, which will backfire and prick him again in the future.
From a political point of view, it is incredible that Oda Nobunaga's correct approach should be to withdraw from the feudal clan as soon as possible without leaving any future troubles. But from an emotional point of view, Yoshihiro Shiba believes in Maeda Toshiie's judgment.
First, Maeda Toshiie has followed Oda Nobunaga since she was a child. She knows Oda Nobunaga very well, and her ideas have reference value.
Secondly, Shiba Yiyin knows that he is too handsome. This appearance and temperament come from the system. He is a completely unreasonable and awesome person.
No matter how powerful Oda Nobunaga is, she is still a human being. She has feelings and will make mistakes. Because humans are not fleshless machines, so purely rational.
Shiba Yiyin couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it. Being handsome is the original sin, and I am indeed the unforgivable sinner of being handsome.
Inexplicably confident enough to accept this logic, Shiba Yiyin knew what to do. It's nothing more than doing what Green Tea Diao is best at, not refusing, not taking the initiative, not being responsible, and being ambiguous day by day.
Yoshigan glanced at the serious Maeda Toshiie. Although he already had the heart of a male cousin, he couldn't show it, lest his holy and innocent character collapse, and he had to perform the performance.
In the eyes of Maeda Toshiie, Yoshigami Shiba's face gradually turned ugly. With a sudden thought, she realized that she had overlooked the most important thing, which was the importance men attached to chastity.
She hurriedly wanted to explain, but Yiyin reached out to stop her. Yiyin forced a smile and said.
"I know you didn't mean it.
Three years have passed. I thought I could hold my head high and return to Owari. I thought I could protect you without being constrained by Oda Nobunaga.
I didn't expect Oda Nobunaga to be so powerful. In the past three years, she has not been idle. The development of the Oda family has far exceeded that of the Shiba family.
This time when I come back, I still have to bow to her. "
Maeda Toshiie's head was sweating. She only thought about the benefits of retaining Owari Shiba's collar, but she temporarily forgot that her master had suffered the unbearable humiliation as a man.
Sibo Yiyin exchanged his chastity for this territory. Maeda Toshiie actually wants to use this piece of land to attract Oda Nobunaga's delusion. This is adding salt to the wounds of Shiba Yoshigan.
Maeda Toshiie slapped himself hard and wanted to hit him again, but Yoshigami grabbed his wrist.
Yiyin touched her slapped cheek and said distressedly.
"Does it hurt? It's all red."
Maeda Toshiie choked up.
"I'm a bastard, I'm not a human being, I actually came up with such a bad idea.
I don’t want this Owari Shiba collar anymore. Otaisuo, let's think of another way. "
She stammered and wanted to undo her mistake, but Yiyin was unwilling. Isn’t it just to maintain an affair with Oda Nobunaga? The worst thing is to drink tea with her a few more times, it's not a big deal.
However, looking at Oda Nobunaga's rebellious mentality of loving conquest, perhaps Yoshigami would be more aloof and prevent her from easily succeeding, which would be more effective.
Maeda Toshiie's strategy worked, how could Shiba Yoshigage give up? He shook his head firmly.
"no.
You are right, we do not have the confidence to fall out with the Oda family now, so we must maintain a good relationship.
Owari Shiba, I'll leave it to you. Li Jiaji, please. "
Looking at Shiba Yoshigan's sincere eyes, Maeda Toshiie felt sour in his heart. What kind of bastard am I, and why do I have to push this young man into the fire pit again and again.
Last time, I took him to drink tea with Oda Nobunaga. This time, he was the one who made suggestions and made him endure humiliation for Oda Nobunaga.
A low roar came from Maeda Toshiie's throat, like a wounded beast's whine.
Sibo Yiyin held her head, touched her hair, and said.
"Don't be sad, I don't care, I really don't care. Everything is for the survival and continuation of the Sibo family.
The Oda family is in dire straits, and it is a foregone conclusion that Ashikaga Yoshiaki and the others have lured the wolf into the house. I must protect the Shiba family in the coming storm.
Thank you, Li Jiaji. Thank you for your love and support, I really appreciate you. "
Maeda Toshiie kept shaking his head with tears streaming down his face.
"Odaisuo, please stop talking."
Yiyin held her face and gently pressed her lips against hers, leaving her at the touch.
"Toshikahime, I am a man and I cannot become a general. Since Ashikaga Yoshiaki wants to be a general so much, give her this position.
Oda Nobunaga is so powerful, I need more friends, not more opponents, to resist her threat.
You are willing to take risks to protect Owari Shiba for me, stabilize the Oda family for me, and prevent the Oda retainers from becoming hostile to me again.
I'm really happy, Li Jiaji. "
Yoshigan held Maeda Toshiie in his arms, whispered words of thanks in her ear, and thought about the next step.
The obstacle to the Oda family's climb to Luo has been removed, and the attack is coming fiercely. Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan competed to go to Luo, but in the end they took advantage of Oda Nobunaga, who was determined to become a man of the world.
Yoshihiro had to face reality and began to consider wooing Ashikaga Yoshiaki. As he himself said, in this world of female supremacy, it is impossible for him to become an Ashikaga shogun because his gender does not allow it.
The shogunate power conflict between Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Shiba Yoshigan has become a secondary conflict under the threat of the ambitious Oda Nobunaga, and his strategy must also change accordingly.
Grasp the main contradiction of the Oda family and let go of the secondary contradictions first, then Ashikaga Yoshiaki is worth wooing over.
Maeda Toshiie couldn't care about this at this time. She hated that her plan missed Yoshigashi's scars. She was moved by Yoshigashi's true feelings. She had mixed feelings and became increasingly unable to control her emotions.
She cried in the arms of her beloved boy, venting all the infatuation, watching, patience, and yearning she had spent in the past three years.
The two hugged each other and let time fly by without knowing it.
———
When Maeda Toshiie left, the sun was already setting. She stayed in the residence for too long. In order to avoid suspicion, she could not stay any longer, so she left.
After seeing off the reluctant Maeda Toshiie, Yoshihiro Shiba knew that Oda Nobunaga had come.
Looking at the respectful face of the Kamao clan, Yi Gin asked.
"You blocked her from the inner court?"
"Hi!"
"Do you know that she is a famous person with a fortune of 1.4 million shi? You didn't even want to inform her, so you weren't afraid that she would be angry with you?"
After bowing, Kamojigo said firmly.
"The imperial court ordered that no one should disturb me during my meeting with Lord Maeda Toshiie.
To eat the emperor's salary and to be loyal to the emperor, the Pusheng clan dare not go against your will. "
Yiyin was amused in his heart, it was simply nonsense.
No one to disturb? When was there an emergency during a meeting, you didn't come in and knock on the door to announce it? Is Maeda Toshiie an exception today?
Yiyin looked at the solemn expression of the Hamo clan and looked carefully to find any clues, but found nothing.
He thought with a wry smile, everyone is too smart, which is really exciting and worrying.
"Ujigo-hime, I'm in trouble for you."
Kamouso clan kowtowed to the ground and hit his head on the tatami with a bang.
"The Imperial Palace is the real torture!"
Yiyin was startled. Seeing her gnashing her teeth, she couldn't help but shake her head. This child was really deceived by him.
Recalling Maeda Toshiie's awkwardness when leaving, Yoshigami could only give the system a thumbs up.
The result of not making mistakes in this life is really awesome. The facts are not important. No matter what Anti-Justice Silver does, he will always be a perfect victim.
He shook his head and stopped worrying about the matter, wondering about Oda Nobunaga's purpose.
With her temperament, she was willing to take the initiative to come, which was already putting aside her dignity and seeking cooperation. If I can't reciprocate the favor and stimulate her to a violent outburst, I'm afraid it will be out of control.
Yiyin said.
"Tomorrow, please invite His Highness Oda to come for tea. Let's inform Maeda Toshiie and ask her to join us."
"Hi!"
Yoshigan felt a little tired after saying that. He drank tea with Maeda Toshiie a little too hard today and wanted to take a rest. But when he saw that Pu Sheng clan retreated without any interest, he asked.
"Any thing else?"
Kamojigo whispered.
"The Third Master of Baidi has arrived."
Yiyin's eyes flashed and he said.
"Let her in."
"Hi!"
When Pu Sheng went out to call for help, Yiyin closed his eyes and waited.
When he was in Kanto, he was shocked when he heard the bad news that the general had been killed. He then dispatched Baidi Santaifu to lead an elite army and a group of ninjas to return to nearby areas in the snow to find out the situation.
It was originally agreed that I would listen to the report from Bai Di San Taifu when I returned to recent times.
However, the world is changing. Because the Oda family is about to go to Luo, he has to change his plan and make an emergency return from Tokaido.
Before setting off for Echigo, Yoshigami had already sent a message to his fellow Kwantung Army members through Kirigakure Saizo's Kwantung Army group, asking the Santafu of Momochi to come and meet him.
Yiyin is staying in Qingzhou City these days. On the one hand, he is waiting for the arrival of Maeda Toshiie, and on the other hand, he is also waiting for the return of Momochi Santafu.
Perhaps due to exhaustion after tea, Yoshiyin became drowsy. I don't know how long it took, but when he opened his eyes again, it was already the lights were on.
Seeing the Kamao family and the third Taifu of Baidi kneeling respectfully, Yiyin asked.
"Why don't you wake me up?"
Kamo clan bowed.
"You work too hard, I can't bear to disturb your rest."
Yiyin noticed the sadness that lingered on the eyebrows of Pu Shengshixiang, and knew that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper. I drank tea with Maeda Toshiie for most of the day. In her eyes, it must be tragic and tragic, right?
Yiyin sighed, feeling that this matter could not be explained clearly, so he simply changed the subject and asked the third husband of Baiji.
"Has the matter been cleared up?"
"Hi!"
Bai Di San Taifu bowed and then became a little hesitant.
When she left Kanto, she was full of confidence and wanted to take this opportunity to completely eliminate the Fujibayashi sisters, engulf the same group of ninjas, and become the sole head of the Shiba family's intelligence department.
Finding out the truth about the Kyoto Incident is surprisingly easy. She accidentally caught the stupid Fujibayashi Xing. Under the three trees, there was nothing she couldn't ask for.
But when she was most proud, she was slapped awake by Akechi Mitsuhide.
The death of Ashikaga Shogun was not a simple regicide, but a heinous crime that was carried out by the tacit understanding of the ministers, local powerful factions, recent feudal lords, and even Shiba's ministers.
Momochi Santao couldn't believe Akechi Mitsuhide's words. She thought carefully that Yoshigoshi Shiba, the benevolent and righteous leader, could never be a participant. That bastard Akechi Mitsuhide was trying to scare her.
But the problem is that the real participants in this major case cannot be offended by her Baidi Santaifu.
She could ignore the powerful warriors outside the Shiba family. She didn't care about offending the foreign vassal by eating the Sibo family's food.
However, Mitsuhide Akechi, Maeda Maeda, and Haruno Takada, all important officials of Shiba, were all unclean, so how could she dare to bite anyone casually?
To be a dog, you have to have the consciousness to be a dog. Shiba Shichen is not a simple character. These people really want to bear a grudge against themselves. It will be difficult for the third wife of Baidi to die happily.
Sibo Yiyin frowned immediately when he saw her silence. On the side, Kamao clan bowed and left, leaving the room to the two of them alone.
Seeing Pu Sheng's village leave, Bai Di San Taifu still didn't speak, Yi Yin snorted coldly.
"What? Did you not find out, or do you just don't want to say anything?"
The Third Taifu of Baidi trembled all over, kowtowed to the ground and said.
"I'm so sorry, I was just wondering where to start."
Yiyin sneered.
"Just tell me whatever you can find out. Mr. Baidi, are you still thinking about what you can't tell me?"
The third wife of Baidi didn't dare to say anything.
How could she handle Yiyin's heart-wrenching words? If the Ninja people dare to hide their master, are they still planning to keep the eagle dog for the New Year?
She gritted her teeth and said.
"I passed through the Iga Secret Path of Nakasendo and returned to Koki, and I happened to bump into the fugitive Ninja Fujibayashi."
Yiyin said in shock.
"Escape nin? Fujibayashi Anzu?"
"Hi! Fujibayashi went AWOL and fled to the Shinano Mountains. I happened to catch her. Then she told me the truth about the great changes in Kyoto.
I took her back to the Nakado Group's stronghold in Iga, and Fujibayashi actually killed her. "
Yiyin was even more surprised.
"Fujibayashi Muku killed Fujibayashi Xing?"
"Hey! I took Fujibayashi Muku and went to Akechi Mitsuhide, but I was asked to stay in Iga country and take Fujibayashi Xing's confession to wait for the master's return."
Yiyin asked as the more he heard, the more something was wrong.
"Akechi Mitsuhide stopped you from continuing the investigation? Where is Fujibayashi Mukuro? Where is the confession?"
Bai Di San Tai Fu took out a document, handed it to Yi Yin with both hands, and said
"Lord Akechi Mitsuhide said that there has been a lot of chaos recently and she needed Fujibayashi Mukuro to do something, so I let her go."
Yiyin took the document and found that it was a copied copy and asked.
"Where is the original confession?"
Bai Di San Tai Fu whispered.
"It was burned by Akechi Mitsuhide. Both the original and the transcript were burned. This confession was rewritten from memory after the fact."
Yoshihiro's heart was filled with ups and downs. What happened to Mitsuhide Akechi? He suppressed his doubts and looked down at the confession.
Bai Di San Taifu did not dare to raise his head and stared down at the floor in front of him. The cold sweat on his head flowed down drop by drop and hit the tatami.
The only sounds in the room were the sound of Yiyin turning over documents and his increasingly heavy breathing. Suddenly, the sound of turning paper and breathing disappeared at the same time.
Bai Di San Tai Fu's eyes were wandering, and when she was thinking about whether to raise her head, there was a bang, which scared her heart and made her peek carefully.
I saw Sibo Yiyin's eyes were red, the documents in his hand were overturned, and the confession documents were scattered on the ground.
"Akechi Mitsuhide! I hate you!"
