Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

Akechi Mitsuhide was certain that the term "old countryman" had special meaning to Matsunaga Hideo and Saburo—it wasn't that the Oda family's vassals mistook it for a relationship but a provocation after hearing it. He really believed that Matsunaga Hideo and Saburo There is indeed such a friendship, and it is certain that the only two people who can call each other "hometown" at present are Saburo and Matsunaga Hideo.

This made Matsunaga Hideo have to wonder how much Saburo told Akechi Mitsuhide that should not be known by people of this era.

It was also because of this preconceived idea that Matsunaga rarely answered Mitsuhide Akechi’s question directly, and simply revealed his identity as a gangster—after he said this word, Mitsuhide Akechi didn’t even move his eyebrows. Not surprised, this convinced Matsunaga Hideo that the other party already knew about it.

If it was in the past, Matsunaga Hide might be a little more nervous because of it.But he has lived in this era for decades, and he already has the vision he should have.When he decided to be hostile to Saburo, he had already been faintly aware of his end, so the effect of this kind of words that should have touched him was greatly reduced at this time—whether it was positive or negative.

In fact, in getting along with Saburo, I have long learned to temporarily ignore the words I don’t understand. Akechi Mitsuhide just asked seriously: “—Are you sure, are you ready to be hostile to the Oda family? Even with Uesugi and Mori Come to disperse Oda's troops, your place is also the best breakthrough—do you really know about this?"

"This kind of thing doesn't matter." Song Yongxiu sneered, "Anyway, I and your Oda family are at odds with each other—even if Nobunaga is unwilling, I will eventually become the target of your attacks."

At this moment, he had a very clear vision of his future.

"Also, Nobunaga is not a man who will stop because of boring friendship."

It is rare for Matsunaga Hideo to address Saburo in such a serious way, and it is rare that he does not show his contempt and ridicule for high school students as a gangster brother, and describe Saburo in a calm and thorough tone.Compared with the retainers of the Oda family, Matsunaga Hideo didn’t have much contact with Saburo, but he was still able to understand the essence of Saburo’s actions—although Matsunaga Hide’s previous rebellions and surrenders were all easily accepted by Saburo Yes, but Saburo, who has the ambition of "fighting for world supremacy", will never unconditionally condone the latter's rebellion and let the opponent compete for territory when facing Hideo Matsunaga, who is also a traverser.

"If it was in our era, that kid might—no, it should be sure, and he would become a great person." Song Yongxiu said this, and then smiled again, the hideous scar on his face was caused by this This kind of unkind smile makes it even more terrifying, "—but now I can only stay in this era until I die."

Because of his words, Akechi Mitsuhide felt an unknown emotion welling up in his heart.

He tried his best to persuade Song Yongxiu to surrender, and continued to persuade without giving up: "You have also felt the preferential treatment Saburo gave you before. Now you have only withdrawn from Tennoji Temple and have not harmed Oda's fundamental interests." , is still to the extent that it can be forgiven—even so, are you unwilling to change your mind?"

He judged with certainty: "You don't really intend to join the siege network and attack Oda."

"Don't say something that you can't even fool yourself. It's not that simple to withdraw the army-and I won't be able to hang out in Oda's house any longer." Song Yongxiu sneered at his persuasion.

Although he has already played the name of rebellion, Hideo Matsunaga did not directly attack Oda.Whether he wants to fish in troubled waters after the attention of the Oda family is completely distracted, or just waits for the wooing of all parties (including Oda) under the guise of rebellion, it is a visible fact that Matsunaga Hideo is now holding back.If he really wanted to get in touch with Maori or Honganji, it would be impossible for Matsunaga Hideo to just withdraw his troops. His withdrawal from Tennoji was equivalent to handing over Tennoji to the power of Honganji , but after making such a move, he didn't take advantage of the other generals of the Oda family's unresponsiveness to turn against him in time, which made his betrayal look like a child's play.

This is not even comparable to the commotion that Matsunaga Hideo made when he rebelled to the Takeda Army camp last time.

The vassals of the Oda family were excited, not necessarily because of the trouble Matsunaga Hide had brought, but because they were dissatisfied with the other party's almost threatening, "sit down and raise the price" behavior.

This is also the source of confidence that Mitsuhide Akechi thought he would be able to retreat unscathed at first—Matsunaga Hideo has a strong desire for power. Mitsuhide Akechi cannot satisfy his ambitions, but he can guarantee that even if the peace talks fail, Matsunaga Hideo will not kill him. The envoy who killed Oda.

Now, he was suddenly a little uncertain about the real purpose of Matsunaga Hideo.

Akechi Mitsuhide couldn't help asking: "...What's the point of you doing this?"

"Ha, let me tell you." Song Yongxiu replied naturally, "No matter what the reason is, I have only come to this era-but I came here not to be restricted by any rules."

"Surrender again, I can't afford to lose that person."

The underworld brother in the Heisei era said calmly: "After staying for a long time, I suddenly thought that if I could choose the time and method of death, wouldn't it be a pretty good thing?"

Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly found it difficult to understand, but he seemed to be able to understand such thoughts.

He once saw a similar shadow in Saburo. He is clearly in this world, but he seems to be completely unable to integrate into it. He behaves himself because of his personality, but also because his actions cannot be truly recognized by others. To understand and to appear self.

"You're really capable of getting that kid to tell you all his secrets." Song Yongxiu continued, "However, it's not bad if someone can know the secret—at least you won't feel lonely occasionally. Although that The guy seems to have read the wrong person."

Akechi Mitsuhide only felt that his brain had never been running as fast as it is now, and it had never been as slow as it is now.

He asked dryly: "Mr. Matsunaga—do you want to fight for the world?"

"Well, ask me." Song Yongxiu seemed to think of something, and then showed that mocking expression, which was especially ferocious in combination with his unattractive face, "I thought you were serious. Because Nobunaga and I have been talking about 'peace talks' here to the point of getting moldy—why, do you want to win me over to fight for world domination? You have great vision, Mitsuhide."

"But still."

After saying what he praised Akemi Mitsuhide, but actually praised himself, Matsunaga Hide very flatly refused.

"It's not suitable for me to be thrown on my head for a long time. The thing of 'struggling for world supremacy' sounds good, but it's useless to me-although I have had this kind of dream before, but in the end , what I pursue is a life of fun, not a meaningful life.”

He sneered and said, "Even if I have traveled through time—what does this 'history' have to do with me? Anyway, I had never heard the name 'Matsu Yonggao' before I came here!"

This is not the first time Mitsuhide Akechi has heard the word "history", but it is the first time he has felt shocked and flustered when hearing this word.

When he volunteered to Saburo and came to Xinguishan City, he probably had the idea of ​​knowing something about Saburo through Song Yongxiu.There are also miscellaneous things such as testing the sword Fusangshin, digging the connection between himself and Fusangshen, etc., but Akechi Mitsuhide consciously can handle it.Even if he wanted to know about Saburo, Akechi Mitsuhide’s original plan was to confirm Matsunaga Hide’s true thoughts about Saburo and whether it was harmless to Saburo’s current identity after the peace talks were over—but Matsunaga Hide mistakenly thought he knew After discussing Saburo's true background, every word he uttered made Mitsuhide Akechi feel dizzy that was hard to overcome.

The mission of Sword Fusangshen is to maintain "history".

What kind of history does Matsunaga Hide refer to by "history"?

Akechi Mitsuhide knew that he could no longer negotiate peace with Matsunaga Hideo.

Matsunaga Hide has a clear attitude now, as if he wants to carry out his will to the end. No matter whether the envoys are from Oda, Uesugi, Mori or Honganji, they can't convince this man who has repeated behaviors and is profit-seeking by nature.

Moreover, the wavering in his heart at the moment made it impossible for Mitsuhide Akechi to continue the peace talks.

No matter how much he wanted to focus on the peace talks, Song Yongxiu's words kept disturbing his heart.Every word uttered from this horrific man's mouth was combined with what Mitsuhide Akechi had discovered before, and the answers were naturally polished and slowly surfaced in his heart almost without his thinking.

He didn't want to look at it, but he already knew that he had to get a definite answer before he could understand where Saburo's indifference to the "Honnōji Change" came from.

"Mr. Matsunaga."

It's not a polite address to use when meeting, Akechi Mitsuhide said that sincerely.

Under the gaze of Matsunaga Hideo, he slowly raised his hand and untied the knot on the face towel.

The snow-white face towel fell off with a brush, and the upper part was still on his head, covering his hair and forehead, but the lower part could no longer be covered, and the entire facial features were exposed in front of Song Yongxiu!

"You boy—you came here in person!" Song Yongxiu was taken aback, "You are so courageous, you can be fished in troubled waters with the appearance of the face scarf boy—I said, you came from the TV series of the era when we came You have learned a lot, and it is too unreliable to apply what you have learned. If it were you, I would really like to penetrate your head, Nobunaga."

It was only at this moment that Akechi Mitsuhide knew all the answers.

The confusion and doubts that he had once had, which were growing thicker like a vast white mist, were completely dispelled at this moment!Matsunaga Hide's answer was like a flash of lightning, illuminating things that he had ignored or not noticed at all... related to Saburo and Fusangshen.

It turns out that maintaining "history"...

Refers to this "history".

Aha.

The remaining two updates will be later.
