Imai Munehisa said nervously.
"The imperial office is dissatisfied with you? What should we do?"
Takada Yono smiled coldly and said.
"The third husband of Baiji came back to investigate, and such a secret matter could reach my ears in Sakai Port.
Guess, who is thinking about it and must find a way to let me know this news?
Akechi Mitsuhide, this bastard, she single-handedly planned the Kyoto Incident. It's good now, but I want to drag everyone into the water and take this big blame with her.
How can I know nothing about such a huge movement in Miyoshi and Sanluo in Sakai Port? When I chose to turn a blind eye, I was already trapped by Akechi Mitsuhide, and now I have to bear the blame.
I will go to see the Lord and let him understand. I love him, and no one can take away my right to love him. Even he himself can't. "
Takada Harano's eyes seemed to be burning. She had been working in Sakai Port for three years and finally had the ability to straighten her back and speak.
She could obey Sibo Yiyin's orders and not fight for anything. As long as the master orders her to die, it will be fine. She would never give in on the matter of getting married.
Takada Haruno España Yoshigan will never give him up to anyone willingly, no one! I would rather die than give up on this feeling!
Seeing her resolute attitude, Imai Munehisa felt bitter in his heart. Finally, the day came when Tu Qiong saw Takada Harano, who had endured it for three years, and she decided to face her master directly to grab a place for her husband.
Imai Sojiu knew long ago that this day would come sooner or later, but when it did come, she still couldn't help feeling panicked.
"Master Takada, we are not the Akechi family. The Iga-Maeda family has land, population, and military strength that are enough to make the Lord afraid. We only have shops, caravans, and insignificant untouchables.
To put it bluntly, the merchants and rogues under our command do not hold enough weight in the Lord's heart. Yutaisuo, will he care? "
Imai Munehisa was born as a businessman, and she knew very well what the Wu family saw as a businessman. That is, the pigs and dogs are kept in a pen to be fat, and when necessary, they are pulled out and slaughtered for meat.
Is it possible to expect the Wu family to bow to pigs and dogs and compromise with pigs and dogs? With Takada Haruno's achievements in business, can the imperial office pay attention to her and tolerate her arrogance?
Takata Yono said with a smile as bright as a flower.
“It’s up to you to help.
Sort out the accounts related to the Hokuriku Road trade route and bring them to me, especially the various participating forces and the specific figures they lent me. "
Imai Munehisa took a breath, Takada Haruno was playing a little too big, she was going to threaten Shiba Yoshigan and give her a chance to marry into the family.
The Hokurikudo Trading Route is no longer the Hokurikudo Trading Route of the Shiba family. The trading route has been split into countless shares in exchange for loans from Sakai Port and Kyoto's earth warehouse.
Behind these well-funded warehouses are various forces all over the country. Including the shogunate samurai families, the Miyoshi family, the Ichigo clan and other shogunate samurai families, local samurai families, and even Buddhist sects.
This stall has become a mess and cannot be separated from Takada Harano.
No one's money just falls from the sky. The prosperity of the Hokuriku Road trade route allowed Takada Haruno to arouse the greed of these forces, and the amount of copper coins they spent was already astronomical.
This big hole, kick out Takada Harano, who will fill it? Even if others can fill it in, then all the parties that invest money must be willing to believe it.
In the martial arts society, trust is an extremely valuable thing. If Yoshigan Shiba does not want the Hokurikudo trade route to become a mess, he must consider Takada Harano's appeal.
In other words, although Takada Harano does not have land, population, or military power, she does have a combination of gold mines and bombs.
Either get rich or explode.
Imai Munehisa was still frightened by this, and Takada Haruno's madness made her, a big businessman who has been doing business for generations, stunned.
Shiba Yoshigan, a traditional martial artist, would be frightened when he saw Takada Haruno taking out such a large loan and carrying a lot of debt, right?
This is a huge debt that has never been seen before in the Wu family society.
———
Yamato Douwen Yamashiro, Akechi Mitsuhide, Nizi Katsuhisa, and Maeda Yoshida reunited again.
The owner of this city where the Sibo family resides, Sibo Yiyin, has not returned. The main seat was vacant, the three of them sat separately, and the conversation was very unpleasant.
Maeda Yoshida pointed at Akechi Mitsuhide and shouted.
"Why don't you speak? Aren't you always eloquent?
The Lord returned from the Tokaido. He would rather stay at the Oda family and join forces with His Highness Oda to go to Luo than return to the nearby Shiba Territory and take charge of the overall situation.
Tell me what to do now! "
Maeda's anger stems from fear.
She originally thought that the Kyoto Incident caused by Akechi Mitsuhide would definitely be self-defeating and make her master hate and alienate her.
In this way, not only can he get rid of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the general who hinders his marriage, but he can also kick out Akechi Mitsuhide, a competitor for his marriage.
Maeda smiled and watched Mitsuhide Akechi busy, waiting for Shiba Yoshigan to come back before adding insult to injury. There are people competing to do the hard and dirty work, but you can trample on others on the shore without doing anything.
But she never expected that the third husband of Baidi was sent back to investigate by Sibo Yiyin, and he was able to find out everything accurately. A little Fujibayashi turned the whole thing upside down.
Akechi Mitsuhide, this bastard, must have been tricked by her, otherwise how could Fujibayashi Xing escape? Is it difficult to silence a ninja?
It's good now that the Third Taifu of Baidi has found out everything and brought the confession to his lord. Akechi Mitsuhide, on the other hand, took the initiative to reveal the news to Maeda Benefit.
Fujibayashi knew too much. She even knew that Takada Haruno and Maeda Yoshitake stood still during the Kyoto Incident and secretly contributed to the flames.
This is going to make Maeda's scalp numb. Mitsuhide Akechi, this shameless guy, wants to drag everyone together to take the blame!
Fujibayashi did many shady things for Akechi Mitsuhide, and Akechi Mitsuhide did not hide the entire Kyoto Incident plan from her.
Now that the confession has been handed over to the master, not to mention the ugliness of outsiders in the Ninagawa family and the Hosokawa family, both Maeda and Harano Takada are involved.
Maeda is interested in stealing the chicken but losing the rice, and she is afraid that the master will hate and alienate her because of this. The unlucky fate that Akechi Mitsuhide suffered when he imagined it would happen to him now.
Facing the anger of Maeda's interests, Akechi Mitsuhide pretended to be helpless and said.
“As of now, I have no choice.
The Lord stayed at the Oda house and refused to return. He summoned Takada Haruno to come to see him. It seemed that he was planning to deal with us one by one.
Thunder, rain, and dew are all your grace.
Since the Lord is dissatisfied with us, we have no choice but to suffer, what else can we do? "
Listening to Akechi Mitsuhide's seemingly helpless, but actually shameless words, Maeda wished he could punch her in the face that always seemed to have a smile on it.
What us? You did this thing all by yourself, do it to me!
Maeda Yoshi's breath was heavy, and Nizi Katsuhisa on the side shook his head secretly.
If I had known today, why bother in the beginning. Even though they knew that Akechi Mitsuhide was nothing, Maeda Yoshida and Takada Harano still fell into it.
In the final analysis, it was because of their hidden selfish desires and luck that they were taken advantage of by Akechi Mitsuhide and caused a bad taste.
Nizi Katsuhisa has received a letter from Yamanaka Yukimori. She is escorting her master back and is at Oda's home. The Lord highly appreciates Nizi Shengjiu's loyalty and responsibility in the past two years.
With the tip from Yamanaka Yukimori, Nizi Shengjiu was able to stay out of the incident and gloat over their misfortune.
These bastards, taking advantage of their master's absence, acted daringly. Nizi Shengjiu helped them wipe their buttocks, which was very tiring.
It's fine now, the master is back to take care of you bastards. Yesterday we had a lot of fun, today we are making a list.
Akechi Mitsuhide sighed and dealt with the really flustered Maeda. She was also aware of Nizi Shengjiu who was silent on the side.
The fact that the master did not return was beyond Akechi Mitsuhide's expectations. She was assisted by Fujibayashi's middle team, and she was very well-informed.
Once the Lord takes action, it is extraordinary.
He summoned Takada Yono to come for an audience, used Yamanaka Yukimori's letter to stabilize Nizi Katsuhisa, and turned a blind eye to the interests of Akechi Mitsuhide and Maeda.
This set of boxing combinations, with orderly priorities, made Akechi Mitsuhide feel a little appreciative. After two years of not seeing each other, the master has grown a lot in Kanto.
Mitsuhide Akechi only had contempt for these two profit-minded fools, Takada Haruno and Maeda Yoshie.
The dispute over marriage did not exist in the first place. The strategy of occupying the magpie's nest is the future planned by Akechi Mitsuhide for his lord.
But now it seems that the Lord is very angry at his unauthorized actions and has his own strategy. This disrupted Akechi Mitsuhide's arrangement, and she was also thinking about what to do next.
The three beauties gathered to discuss, but they all had their own agendas, and of course they couldn't come up with a reason.
In the end, they had to leave unhappy.
———
Akechi Mitsuhide returned to the new home village of Kitaiga, where Fujibayashi Mukuro was already waiting for her return.
Akechi Mitsuhide asked as he walked inside and looked at the hut where Takada Yukino was recovering from his injuries.
"How is it going?"
Fujibayashi Mukuro bowed and said.
“Takada Yukino-sama heard that the Lord was in Gifu Castle in Mino Country, so he set off directly.
However, she was weak and her injuries had not yet healed. Is it too risky for you to ask me to suggest that she go to Meinong Country?
After all, she still bears the golden seal given to her lord by Ashikaga Shogun. What if something unexpected happens on the road? "
Akechi Mitsuhide walked into the room, sat down peacefully, and said casually.
"Didn't you send someone to protect her?
The country of Shancheng is now in chaos. The Sanhao family cannot control the situation at all, and the Luka Pass is in vain.
No matter how bad Takada Yukino's health is, there is always no problem in taking a boat, right? As long as we safely cross the Seta River in Yamashiro, the rest of the journey will be peaceful.
Sakamoto Castle, where the Seta River enters the mouth of Lake Biwa, is in the hands of Niki Yoshimasa, an old minister of Ashikaga Shogun, and the Miyoshi family cannot control it.
After entering Lake Biwa, the ship landed directly at Kitaomi River and entered Mino Country as Shiba's retainer. Neither the Asai nor the Oda families would stop the Lord's retainers from going to the throne room.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Oda Nobunaga are about to join Luo, and it is actually not easy for the Lord to be with them.
With the great righteousness of Takada Yukino sending the golden seal, the Lord can declare his righteousness with the general's will to suppress their delusions. "
The situation envisaged by Akechi Mitsuhide has been destroyed because Yoshihiro Saba refused to return and instead cooperated with Oda Nobunaga.
Although he didn't know how the master planned to deal with him, Akechi Mitsuhide still had to continue to do what he should do.
The gold seal is a relic left by Ashikaga Yoshiteru to Shiba Yoshigan, and it is also the great honor of Shiba Yoshigan to Raku.
Akechi Mitsuhide was actually not willing to let the sick Takada Yukino give the gold seal. She also knew it was not safe, but she had no choice.
Even though she is as cunning as a fox, there is nothing she can do against Takada Yukino, a wooden fish head that does not turn around.
Although Takada Yukino is weak, she has excellent swordsmanship and firmly protects the golden seal. Akechi Mitsuhide tried his best to get her to hand it over.
In this case, let Fujibayashi reveal the news to her.
Sure enough, after hearing that his master had arrived in Mino Country just a few kilometers away, Takada Yukino immediately set off to see his master, which was regarded as achieving Akechi Mitsuhide's goal.
After saying this, the room was silent for a long time. After a long while, Fujibayashi asked leisurely.
"Sir, what will the Lord do to us when he comes back?"
Akechi Mitsuhide sighed.
"I don't know either.
My lord stopped at the Oda house and refused to return to the Kinsho Territory. It was obvious that he was extremely angry at my actions.
It's just that the Kyoto Incident involved too much, and there were countless powerful martial arts families in recent times who were deeply involved in it.
Besides, the Shiba family themselves are not clean either. I even dragged Maeda Yoshida and Takada Haruno into the trap.
The Lord is a tyrant. In order to stabilize the overall situation, he cannot publicize it to the outside world and cannot depose him internally. He can only deal with us secretly.
Takada Yono has no military background and is the easiest one to deal with. Therefore, the master called her over and dealt with her first.
After that, maybe it’s Maeda’s interests, maybe it’s me. In short, no one expects to pass easily. "
Fujibayashi's eyes showed his helplessness about the future.
Her mother died in a conspiracy and assassination by Bai Di San Taifu. In recent years, she has been gritting her teeth to support the family business. But now, my sister Anzu Fujibayashi has made a big mistake, what can I do?
She is not afraid of death, but what will happen to the Fujibayashi family? There was also the tragic death of my mother and sister. .
Fujibayashi glanced at Mitsuhide Akechi. It was this man who led his sister up the cliff step by step and pushed her into the abyss.
He endured the humiliation and shouldered the burden to serve her, hoping to first kill the Third Taifu of Baidi whom he hated the most, and then plot to take revenge on her.
Now the two enemies are sitting together, worrying about how to get through. It is really ridiculous.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the expressionless Fujibayashi with a smile, feeling very interesting.
The person in front of her knew clearly that she had killed her sister, and that Bai Di San Taifu was just a tool. But she didn't dare to hate herself, she had to help herself.
Interesting, really an interesting person.
Akechi Mitsuhide thought of a prank and said.
"The days after Bai Di San Taifu will not be easy."
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of Momochi Santafu, Fujibayashi's eyes flashed, and she asked respectfully.
"Sir, why do you say this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Fujibayashi with a smile, as if teasing a puppy wagging its tail for mercy.
"I told Maeda Yoshi and Takada Haruno about the fact that Momochi Santao returned to Konka to investigate the Kyoto incident.
These two idiots thought they could use my help to kill the general and save their own possibility of joining the Shiba family. Then after the master came back, he knocked me over and stepped on me a few more times.
However, Fujibayashi Xing's confession exposed them all, and no one could run away now.
Even if the Lord takes the overall situation into consideration and cannot punish them explicitly, he will definitely dislike their selfishness.
They dare not hate their lord, they can only hate me and the nosy Third Taifu of Baidi. "
Fujibayashi Mukuro's heart beat rapidly, looking forward to looking at Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide spread his hands and said helplessly.
"It's a pity that the third wife of Baidi is loyal to her lord, so she must tell her directly. She will be rewarded for her loyalty. For a while, no one can touch her."
Fujibayashi's heart sank, and his expression could no longer be tense. Are you kidding me?
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said nothing, no longer paying attention to Fujibayashi, but looked into the distance. She was actually in a very good mood, because no matter what, the master was back.
Finally I can see him again, the one I love most.
