Okabe Motonobu glanced at the veins on Yu Qiuping's forehead, and then at Yu Qiuping's clenched fists, and suddenly felt something different. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said: "There's nothing I can't say, to tell you the truth.
Well, at that time, I thought that His Highness the Governor wanted to take the opportunity to weaken Gai Nai, so he deliberately set up a trap. After all, at that time, the lineage and direct jurisdiction of the Imagawa family were basically in Okehazama, except for His Highness Asahina's troops outside Narumi Castle.
, they are all foreigners. As long as the family governor goes to Asahina-sama to stabilize the situation, Asahina's troops will be able to retreat safely. But once Narumi Castle is burned, the military morale will be in chaos, and they can take the opportunity to be killed by Oda Nobunaga.
The flowers are falling and the water is falling."
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this. Okabe Motobu's explanation was similar to Sena Ujitoshi's initial guess about the purpose of Imagawa Yoshimoto's order to withdraw the troops. "However, in the end, His Highness the Governor failed to follow the instructions.
Come out of Narumi Castle and join His Highness Asahina's army..."
"Isn't that what you did?" Okabe Motonobu slapped the desk in front of him fiercely, "You used the seal arrow to mobilize the guards of His Highness the Governor, then locked the four gates of the castle tower, and then used the seal arrow to
Ling Jian lied to me that His Highness the Governor had left, so I accidentally lit the fire and killed His Highness the Governor!"
"You are spitting blood!" Yu Qiuping said angrily in an instant, "I am in Tongzhajian, how do you want me to lock the four gates of Narumi City's castle tower? Where do I come from? And you? Lord of Narumi City! Family Governor
After Your Highness entered Narumi City alone, wasn't he already under your control? Isn't it easy for you to do these things?"
"It's obviously all your fault. You're quite scheming. You've already planned to blame everything on me." Okabe Motonobu reached into his arms and took out an old scroll, throwing it away.
In front of Yu Qiuping's face, he said, "Do you still remember it? Your plan was really watertight! If His Highness the Family Governor hadn't noticed that someone in the family had arrogant ambitions and left this suicide note, I would have almost been deceived by you!"
"
How could Yu Qiuping forget that scroll? He opened the scroll, and the handwriting of Imagawa Yoshimoto that shocked him back then was still clearly written there: If I am unlucky, I will immediately return to the teacher to rebel! Those who have two minds will definitely be in Narumi at this time!
"His Royal Highness the Governor has arrived a long time ago. The person who really planned this conspiracy will definitely return to Narumi City to inspect the scene as soon as possible to see if His Highness the Governor has really been killed." Okabe Motonori clicked with his hand.
Scroll, he tapped Yu Qiuping's face again, "As expected, as soon as the incident happened, you hurried back to Narumi City."
"Stop talking nonsense! How do I know where you got this scroll? And when did you get it?" Yu Qiuping still clearly remembers Asahina Taihyung's inference that day, "Maybe it's His Highness the Governor of the Household.
After discovering something strange about you, I wrote this scroll and wanted to send it to us so that we could attack you who was in Narumi City at the time! But you intercepted it!"
"How outrageous!" Okabe Gennobu violently overturned the desk and shouted loudly, "The Imagawa family has shown great kindness to the Okabe family. My family has been carrying out the Imagawa family tree for generations, how could I do such a thing?
"
"Aren't you willing to admit it until now?" Yu Qiuping shouted back at the top of his lungs, "What are you trying to do? You are an important minister of the Imagawa family, alongside the Asahina family! After the Imagawa family unified the world, you were the person you were back then.
The status of the third and fourth shogunate families! Whether it’s fame, wealth, glory, or a name in history, don’t you want it all? Why did you betray His Highness the Governor? Are you a traitor to the Oda family or are you a traitor to the Oda family?
The traitor of the Takeda family? Did you get any benefits from these two families afterwards? How can you compare to the time when you were in the Imagawa family if you are not a small city lord who has fallen into such a state of desperation in Gaotian City?"
"Yes, what do I want to do when I rebel? You have said it yourself, don't you understand? What can I want? Why do I want to rebel?" Okabe Motonobu spread his hands and waved them up and down vigorously, "I
Is there any reason to rebel? Huh?"
Yu Qiupei was stunned for a moment...Yes, what reason did Okabe Motonobu have to rebel? Back then, he, Sena Ujitoshi, Asahina Yatotomo, and Asahina Yasuhiro thought hard for a long time, but they still couldn't find Okabe Motonobu.
motive for rebellion.
"Are you exhausted?" Okabe Gennobu saw Yu Qiuping stunned, and continued to roar at Yu Qiuping, "You are such a white-eyed wolf! His Highness the Governor of the Household values ​​you so much that he has given you the highest favor of the Imagawa family in hundreds of years.
I met! And I married the princess to you! But you..."
"Then why did I rebel? Do I have any reason to rebel?" Yu Qiuping laughed angrily and asked Okabe Motobu, "Why should I betray my wife's father? Why should I betray my kindness to me?"
Your Highness, the Governor of Rushan? I came to this world with nothing and was confused. It was His Highness, the Governor of the Household, who gave me confidence, dignity, marriage, faith and dreams, a home, and everything.
How is it possible to rebel?"
"Because your son has the right to inherit the Imagawa family!" Okabe Gennobu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Yu Qiuping's shoulders with both hands, and yelled at Yu Qiuping, "You married Princess Feng, your child
He is also a bloodline of the Imagawa family! If you take control of the power, you can force the young master to accept your son as an adopted son and inherit the family governor! Do you think we can't figure out the joints inside?"
"Leave your mother alone..." Yu Qiuping cursed loudly, but Okabe Motonobu said in a higher tone: "That's why you rebelled against the family governor and killed the family governor. Because the family governor is still alive, you can't succeed!
That’s why you started a civil war, trying to get rid of us stumbling blocks in the civil war, and then take over the power! What happens next? Support the second son Asahina and Sena, who are close to you, to overthrow His Highness Asahina and His Highness Sena? Then?
Win over Tokugawa Ieyasu, who is as close to you as a brother, and you would even risk your life to save his son? You can also bring the Ii family with you. Aren’t the orphans and widows of the Ii family at your place now? It seems that you have been in contact for a long time.
Okay, otherwise why would they defect to you? After the death of His Highness the House Governor, you take the seal and order arrow to take control of the direct jurisdiction of this family, plus the Sena family, the Asahina family, the Tokugawa family, and the Ii family. In this way, the entire Imagawa family is still
Who will be your opponent? The young master will just become your puppet! You, the ferryman, are so calculating! Everything has been arranged by you!"
"Stop talking nonsense here!" Yu Qiuping threw Okabe Motonobu away, and the latter gave Yu Qiuping a slap in the face with his backhand, and continued to curse: "Poor Princess! I have been fooled by you all the time.
You scum kept it in the dark! How could she have imagined that it was you, a white-eyed wolf, who killed her father?"
"You fart!" Yu Qiuping calmed down and knocked Okabe Motonobu to the ground with a round punch. Honda Tadakatsu and others outside the house heard something was wrong and hurriedly opened the door to check. Yu Qiuping looked at them
He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
However, when Yu Qiuping turned around, he found that Okabe Moto nobu, who had been knocked to the ground by him, was already in tears, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was mixed with tears and dripped on the tatami.
"Pity my Imagawa family, which has hundreds of years of foundation..." Okabe Motonobu muttered to himself vaguely, with tears streaming down his face. He made a fist with his right hand and beat it hard on the tatami, wailing with regret.
, "Hundreds of years of foundation! It took a lot of effort to recapture Yuanjiang, which was taken away back then, and finally captured Mikawa! There was the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Koshigashi Shun in the back, and the weak Oda family was in front! When they raised their troops to Luo,
, it seems that conquering the whole world is just around the corner! Kuangzhenghai is just a snap away! Such an inheritance will fall into the hands of a newcomer like you..."
"My lord... I'm so sad... I've built this foundation for hundreds of years..." Okabe Motonobu kept beating the tatami, sighing, and regretting, "The lord was confused, you are so confused! Such an unknown person has an unknown origin.
How can you entrust a man with a heavy responsibility? How can you entrust the princess to him? You have lived a wise life, but you have been defeated by him. It is difficult to guard against domestic thieves!"
Okabe Motonobu stood up tremblingly, looked at Yu Qiuping with eyes that could almost bleed, and murmured, "My lord... Motonobu is incompetent, and I can't keep the Imagawa family's foundation now.
I can't kill this person from across the border to avenge you. Yuan Xin is so ashamed, I really have no face to see you! I have no face to see you!"
After saying that, Okabe Motonobu raised his hands, tearing and hitting his face and facial features desperately, almost tearing the corners of his eyes, the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his mouth. Blood flowed everywhere until he was beyond recognition. Then, he screamed in grief and hit his head.
He turned to Yu Qiupei. Upon seeing this, Honda Tadakatsu hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed Okabe Motonobu with a knife. Okabe Motobu did not hide or give way, and let the samurai sword pierce his body, mouth and mouth.
Blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Rebellious, beast..." Okabe Motonori stared at Yu Qiuping with an almost ghost-like face, spit out a mouthful of blood on his clothes, and cursed the last sentence:
"I won't die well..."
·
Yu Qiuping stared blankly as Okabe Motoshin in front of him breathed his last, his body fell weakly into a pool of blood, but his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Honda Tadakatsu pulled out the knife from Okabe Motonobu's body and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness?"
"Let's bury it." Yu Qiuping sighed and shook his head.
"Burial?" After hearing Yu Qiupei's instructions, Asahina Taihei walked in from the door in surprise, "Your Highness? My father always told me when I was a child that Okabe Motobu was the traitor who killed the former lord! His Highness was killed.
You are a wicked man who has gone far away! Now that he has finally surrendered to the law and his great revenge has been avenged, you want to bury him?"
"Matsuchiyo, don't ask, I'm a little confused now." Yu Qiuping stood up absentmindedly, walked out of the door, leaned on the doorpost, and looked at the blue sky.
Is Okabe Motobu...really a traitor? If he was a true traitor, how could he have the awe-inspiring righteousness just now? Why would he deny it at the last moment? Is he really innocent? Is there really no traitor?
?
Yu Qiuping suddenly had doubts about his obsession with revenge that he had insisted on for 20 years.
But if there was no traitor...how could the family governor be burned to death in Narumi Castle? Taking a step back...my first battle back then, the battle of Chitate Castle...that unbelievable surprise attack by the Oda family, it would have been impossible without the help of the traitor.
Ah... Otherwise, how could they know the precise time and route of the Matsudaira family's food transport team in advance? There must be a traitor who leaked the information...
Could it be that the traitor is neither me nor Okabe Motonobu?
But he and I are the only two people who can meet these two conditions at the same time: not only can we get the seal arrow from His Highness the Governor, but also know that His Highness the Governor is actually in Narumi City in the Kagemusha plan...
The traitor must be between me and him...
He's not, I'm not...that...
Yu Qiuping let out a long cry of grief and indignation, and slid helplessly to the ground.
Chapter completed!
