"Both things are actually handed over to my brother." In the Japanese room with only one burning candle as the light source, Hashiba Hideonaga used his hand as a palm and casually fanned it beside the candle flame, watching the shadow under the shaking of the flame. Continually twisting, he said with a laugh, "I thought my brother had lost Nobunaga's trust - I specially found another batch of 'Koka Ninjas' to go to the front line or something. But it turned out that Mitsuhide Akechi let you do it - "

"As expected, retainers who are 'handpicked' are always more trustworthy?"

The man sitting across from him just glanced at him lightly when he heard the words.

Also entering middle age, Hashiba Hideyoshi is not like Saburo and Akechi Mitsuhide, who maintains a youthful appearance as if he is favored by the gods. Some wrinkles have already grown on his face, and the laugh lines at the corners of his eyes are especially obvious—— Under the candlelight, his expression was particularly gloomy, his eyes were cold, and even the folds on his face seemed to hide some ominous filth. Compared with Saburo who drove Fusangshen, he looked more like an existence that could command animals and monsters.

Hashiba Hideonaga didn't seem to see his gloomy expression, and moved his face closer if he didn't think it was enough, and said in a strange tone: "Obviously I received a letter from Ashikaga Yoshiaki and met with Anguoji Huiqiong secretly. People. The elder brother who took over the task is not guilty at all."

As if some switch was touched by his words, Hashiba Hideyoshi smiled darkly.

"Xiuchang."

He pronounced his own brother's name with unprecedented calm.

"Did I indulge you too much?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi's well-trained body reacted one step faster than his consciousness, and the moment Hashiba Hideyoshi's words landed, he fell backwards suddenly, and he couldn't even put away the teasing laughter on his face.The stern blade slid out a crisp and sharp arc, cutting the burning candle and the desk in half, and the tip of the blade almost touched Hashiba's long nose and fell.

Hashiba Hidecho was still smiling.

The body of the man who was a ninja like his elder brother bowed back inconceivably, his firm chest tightened inward as if collapsed in an instant, his shoulders arched forward, and his upper body formed an ingenious arc in the blink of an eye.The coldness of the tip of the blade brushed against his skin, as creepy as if it was about to cut the flesh, but in the end it failed to hurt his chest at all - you must know that even if the tip touched a little, with the "Sankai Yue Zongjin" Sharp enough to leave a line of blood.But in just a split second, the extremely sharp knife fell on the tatami between his legs with a clang, pinning the hem of his clothes tightly.

penetrating.

It can be seen that Hashiba Hideyoshi is really full of murderous intentions towards Hashiba Hidecho this time, not the past threat that Hashiba Hideyoshi only used as a lesson after breaking his brother's heart.

"—When did I say that you can make up your own mind?"

The candle has been extinguished by Hashiba Hideyoshi's fierce sword drawing, there is no star or moon outside, and the Japanese room without the light source is pitch black, even the beautiful blade pattern of "Mikazuki Sokichi" is hidden in the darkness, only Hashiba Hideyoshi The pressing voice continued to sound slowly, because the tone was too calm and calm, it made people feel cold from the bones.

"Oh, my brother is angry." The dark vision was not something difficult for the two brothers to overcome. Killing people in the dark was something they were used to doing in the early years.But Hashiba Hideaga still has no sense of crisis. From his cheerful, laughing tone, one can fully imagine his frivolous face at the moment—it's like poking right in front of him, between his legs and crotch. There is no such thing as a sharp tachi that is so dangerously close to objects.Even if Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't hold back his hands in his rage just now, he avoided the result of breaking his intestines entirely by relying on his high reflexes, he just wiped off the cold sweat that oozes physiologically when he was facing fatal danger, gossip Generally speaking.

"Brother isn't tired of seeing this deadlocked situation? It's a big risk for me to go to Maoli's territory to 'negotiate' with Huiqiong of Anguo Temple. Don't disappoint my good intentions. Or..."

"Brother, you are willing to die for Oda Nobunaga"

Only when he uttered the last sentence, Hashiba Hidecho's brisk tone faintly brought out the coolness that matched his ninja nature.

"Don't say stupid things." Hashiba Hideyoshi sneered unmoved, "I kept you by my side and allowed you to become a general. It was never because I didn't know the true and false blood relationship, but because you can be used by me."

"Now that you have your own ideas, start telling me what to do... Then it's the same as what you said when you took refuge in me, you don't have any complaints if you are killed by me."

"It's really hurtful! I've been working desperately for you as I promised at the time!" Hashiba Hideaga said in a false crying voice. After pretending to complain, his voice suddenly sank softly and clearly, "But It is precisely because my brother is so unfeeling that I will follow you with all my heart."

"That's the end of the last words." As a pure egoist, Hashiba Hideyoshi can't understand the thoughts of a person like Hashiba Hideyoshi who pursues pleasure, but he doesn't understand and doesn't interfere. He squeezes out all the value of the other party-this is also The biggest reason why he has tolerated Hidecho Hashiba in the previous years.Hearing Hashiba Hidecho's sincere declaration of following again, he responded indifferently. He only lifted "Mikazuki Sokami" who had been stuck into the floor unhurriedly, and pointed at Hashiba Hidecho's head again in the dark.

The blade only made a very light crisp sound when it touched the surrounding tatami mats and the floor when it was lifted. It was held in his extremely steady hand, silently waiting for the moment of attack.

"Of course not. I still want to continue working for you." The vision of the two ninjas, who quickly got used to the darkness, was still limited by the human body. They could only see some outlines, but could not see each other's expressions clearly.But from Hashiba Hideyoshi's seemingly ruthless posture of preparing to attack with the blade pointing at his head, Hashiba Hideyoshi keenly caught his own vitality, and hurriedly said before the opponent made a move.

He and Hashiba Hideyoshi have never really fought to the death, but what they have learned will not be much different. If it is really necessary to put a ninja to death, a one-hit head is not the best choice— —However, if he can't give an answer that satisfies Hashiba Hideyoshi, this vague killing intent will probably really become a life-and-death crisis for Hashiba Hideyoshi.

The slender young man breathed contentedly the air that might become the last breath of his life, his eyes sparkled, and joy was so thick that it almost overflowed from his eyes.The indifference from his own brother burned in his chest like a flame, and even the killing intent like a needle prick became a pleasure—compared to the danger on the battlefield, Hashiba Hideyoshi was not at all moved by their nearly ten years of getting along, Threats that can be given without hesitation can give Hashiba a more realistic sense of survival, and can also make his blood that has been cooled by his previous ninja career boil.

Without deliberately procrastinating time to challenge Hashiba Hideyoshi's patience, Hashiba Hideyoshi said obediently; "If this continues, the end of my brother's end is at best to become a retainer trusted by Oda Nobunaga. Even if you want to betray as expected, As long as there are Akechi Mitsuhide and others, it is impossible to knock Oda Nobunaga into the dust, let alone gain greater power... Power and force can only be developed in a 'changing environment'."

Just like the Oda family who thrived in troubled times - if it is still the time when the power of the shogun is at its peak and the world is peaceful, Oda Nobunaga will not even have the opportunity to disobey the Oda Nobuyuki of the master's family, let alone say anything He has become a big name in Owari... It doesn't matter whether this Oda Nobunaga is Saburo from time travel, or the sick and weak Mitsuhide Akechi.The same is true for Hashiba Hideyoshi. In a peaceful age, he has no possibility of changing his identity and making contributions.

"So I just made a choice for my brother in advance." Hidecho Hashiba said with a smile, "My brother also received a letter from the general, and he didn't say it in time when Fujitaka Hosokawa poked it out-then add It doesn't matter if you light the fire."

"As long as my brother still doesn't want to be Oda's vassal for the rest of his life"

His explanation cannot satisfy Hashiba Hideyoshi—to be precise, the self-assessed Hashiba Hideyoshi cannot satisfy Hashiba Hideyoshi anyway, because his approach has touched the bottom line of Hashiba Hideyoshi, who has a strong desire for control.But his words also succeeded in grabbing that ray of life for him, as long as Hashiba Hideyoshi can still dedicate everything to his brother without complaint, Hashiba Hideyoshi can continue to tolerate this frivolous and vicious younger brother.

Hashiba Hideyoshi leaned forward, using the cold blade of "Mikazuki Sokichi" instead of his palm, and caressed Hashiba Hideyoshi's face intimately and dangerously. The blood vessels and sternum are cut together.

"There will be no next time." He still said in a calm and frightening tone, without leaving any room for judgment, "Then find a way to kill those two people from Hatano—to take the blame and meritorious service for me."

"...Oh, it's really troublesome. Takenaka Hanbei is still here." Hashiba Hidecho said, "But you are also fascinating."

he promised easily.

"I will give you a satisfactory result, brother."

When he handed over two things to Hashiba Hideyoshi, the first two things Saburo encountered after moving to Azuchi Castle, he definitely did not expect such a scene to happen.Hashiba Hideyoshi's perception of Saburo is sinister, cunning, and scheming, but in reality, Saburo stands on the opposite side of this image—and doesn't know Hashiba Hideyoshi's identity as a "ninja" at all.Therefore, although Saburo is not trustworthy to Hashiba Hideyoshi, he is not stingy about using him.

This is also the reason why Akechi Mitsuhide really lacked skills after capturing the Hatano brothers alive.

Although Mitsuhide Akechi's progress in Tamba was not rapid, this was due to the frequent wars in recent years requiring him to lead troops to aid and the division of power in Tamba itself.After capturing Kameyama Castle and subduing the Naito Clan, Akechi Mitsuhide nibbled away at Tamba like the rain. Compared with simply capturing the territory, it was more like governing while attacking.After Tanba Danhou is taken down by him and handed over to Saburo, the foundation laid at this time will greatly reduce the burden on those who will take over the two cities later.On the contrary, if the difficulties in the future are alleviated, it will be more difficult for Mitsuhide Akechi now.

The Hachigami Castle where Hideji Hatano and his younger brother Hidetaka Hatano are located is extremely strong, and it is difficult to succeed in a strong attack, so Mitsuhide Akechi changed to besieging the castle.After months of siege, Yagi Castle finally ran out of food, and the Hatano brothers had to surrender to Akechi Mitsuhide.

So Akechi Mitsuhide took over Yagi Castle.Because the generals in the castle are all retainers of Hatano, it is not easy for Akechi Mitsuhide to understand the internal affairs of the castle as soon as possible.Moreover, the Hatano brothers had already shown their favor to Akechi Mitsuhide before, but later changed their minds and stubbornly resisted. Now they are forced to surrender.

Hostages are impossible, and no one is possible.

Akechi Mitsuhide did not have any family members accompanying him, and the person closest to him and closest to him was his son-in-law Tadakashi Hosokawa, who was unlikely to be a hostage.He also didn't feel the need to send hostages—the tough and aggressive side of his nature was not obvious because of his gentle and calm personality, which didn't mean it didn't exist.

So the final result is that the Hatano brothers were escorted to Azuchi by Hashiba Hideyoshi.Akechi Mitsuhide himself remained near Yagi Castle, ready to deal with unexpected situations.

This is one of what Hashiba Hidecho said, "Leave both things to my brother".

The other is the crisis of the Tokugawa family-the Tokugawa family has always been a powerful ally of the Oda family because of the friendly relationship between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Saburo himself.This time the whistleblower letter said that Tokugawa had the intention to get close to Takeda——Tokugawa Ieyasu did not waver in his desire to continue the alliance with Oda, but his wife, Mrs. Tsukiyama, wanted him to abdicate and let the two Nobuyasu, the eldest son of Tokugawa, inherited the Tokugawa family and became close to Takeda.Since Mrs. Tsukiyama's plan is indeed feasible, the change of rights of the Tokugawa family will also affect the development of Oda, so it is inevitable for Oda to interfere in the affairs of the Tokugawa family.Hashiba Hideyoshi was also chosen by Saburo to confirm the authenticity of what was said in the informant letter.

Handing over both matters to Hashiba Hideyoshi has been able to prove that Hashiba Hideyoshi's status in the Oda family has risen a little after a long time... If Hashiba Hideyoshi hadn't suddenly brought Anguoji Huiqiong, who was originally a military adviser of the Mori family, to force him to If Hashiba Hideyoshi meets him, Hashiba Hideyoshi will probably be happy for a long time.

The current enemy of the Oda family is Mori, meeting An Guoji Huiqiong at this time is tantamount to collaborating with the enemy!Even if Hashiba Hideyoshi wanted to cover up the matter, but Hashiba Hideyoshi's action was too unexpected, and he lost the opportunity to cover up, and Takenaka Hanbing is famously sharp!

It is not unreasonable for Hashiba Hideyoshi to be so angry that he draws his sword.

However, after venting his anger, he also quickly accepted his brother's opinion.

Originally, he only planned to send the Hatano brothers to Azuchi step by step, but now... If he wants to change, wouldn't it be the best time to start with Akechi Mitsuhide

If he wants to go further in the shortest possible time, the man who has been covering his face is clearly an obstacle that he should break through long ago! !

The only problem left is how to deceive Hanbei Takenaka in this matter.

Today, Mikazuki Zongjin's body is also full of presence.

In fact, I seriously thought about Hashiba Hidecho's brain circuit... Well, it seems that this brother control can't be written according to common sense at all. (Hello)

Hidecho: Actually, my brother and I have a very good relationship, really.

And when Xiuchang first appeared on the stage, he called Hideyoshi "Hiyoshi brother".Historically, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was named "Hiyoshi Maru" when he was young.Looking at it this way, I feel that Hideyoshi is also destined to become Hideyoshi in history

Wow, this cartoon is really interesting.Some small details are amazing to look at.

In this article, Hidecho and Hideyoshi are pure brothers.If you want to ask me why my innocent brother is so full of calcium, I can only tell you... I don't know either!Hidetoshi is just jumping back and forth on the edge of Hideyoshi's endurance!

He is also a very skinny person.

Today's military part is also made up by me.The real situation is this: internal disputes broke out in the city, and the Hatano brothers wanted to surrender. Akechi Mitsuhide assured the Hatano family of the Hatano brothers' safety, and sent his mother (one said it was an aunt or stepmother) to Hachigami Castle as a hostage.

But now there is a new saying: that is, Mitsuhide Akechi had trapped Yagi Castle to death at that time, and he was firmly in the upper hand. Hatano was already planning to surrender, and there was no need to send his mother there as a hostage.Therefore, it is doubtful to send the mother there.

Hidecho introduces Anguoji Huiqiong to Hideyoshi from the manga.Historically, Hashiba Hideyoshi contacted Huiqiong after the Honnoji Incident and completed a peaceful retreat.However, it does not rule out the possibility that the two parties have known each other for a long time.

Thanks Mr. S for mine!mwah!
