At the same time, in Dagao City.
"What do you say? At His Highness Asahina, I saw the Imakawa family's direct troops, His Highness Sena, and Yu Qiuhei!" Okabe Motonobu asked several messengers who had just returned.
"Report to Your Highness, you must have read it right when you are inferior." Several messengers replied.
Okabe Motonobu frowned and whispered: "Are nearly 10,000 directly under the jurisdiction of the main family? Are they all under Yu Qiuping's control?"
"This...it's more like His Highness Sezuna is in command." Several messengers replied.
"That's good." Okabe Motoshi snorted coldly, "Is there any..."
Before he could finish his words, several terrified shouts came from afar to the Hina family's messengers. "Please see Your Highness Okabe! Take me to see Your Highness Okabe!"
"Masatotsu, go and bring them here." Okabe Motonobu ordered, "Don't let them yell, so as not to shake the morale of the army."
"I understand." Okabe Masato turned around and left. After a moment, he returned to his original formation with a few sweaty and red eyes.
"Is there anything wrong with His Highness Asahina?" Okabe Motoshi asked in a deep voice, "Or what's wrong with His Highness Yuqiu?"
"It was His Highness Asahina who asked him to come here under the throne." Several messengers knelt on the ground, trying to stop crying, and whispered: "We have found the body of the home governor's hall in Naruto City...the level has been taken away by the Oda army!"
At the same time, in the room where Yu Akihei was located, there were only Yu Akihei, Senashi Toshi, Asahina Taisho, and Asahina Taihyun.
"Are the two high men and brother... serious?" Yu Qiuping was still very weak at this time. Hearing such explosive news, he coughed violently again.
"Although that's just suspicion." Semei Shishi looked solemn, "But... there are too many suspicions in the death of the family governor's hall. Whether it is the messenger who suddenly let us retreat, the hall trapped in the Tianshou Pavilion by leaving dozens of guards and being trapped in the Tianshou Pavilion alone by the fire, or the movements of the Okabe army who suddenly abandoned the city and fled, they are all unexpected. I never believe that these accidents after link were caused by accidents, and someone must have secretly tampered with them. This is the only reasonable explanation I can think of."
"Your Highness Okabe is a traitor? Is he the one who murdered the governor of the family?" Yu Qiuping murmured, still a little unbelievable, "How could Your Highness Okabe..."
"It's surprising, right." Tobinata whispered, "but after some discussion, we feel that this possibility does exist."
"We suspect..." Semei Shishi looked at Yuqiehei's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Everything strange in this battle is likely to be controlled by His Highness Okabe."
"The whereabouts of the family governor's hall and our plan for this battle are only known by Hongye, I, His Highness Asahina, His Second Prince Asahina, His Second Prince Okabe and His Highness Okabe. If you want to interfere and plot to murder the family governor's hall, you can only choose one of the six of us."
"I know that I am innocent. The two high men of the Asabina family are also innocent, and a series of performances have proved his innocence. Hongye, I know your character. You are loyal to the family governor's hall, or the son-in-law of the family governor's hall, and there is no possibility of selling the family governor's hall."
"Then, the only suspects are the two of the Okabe family. If these two people try to rebel, they must be through the hands of His Highness Okabe." Asahita whispered.
"The incredible surprise attack of the Oda family two years ago must have been successful with the intelligence support from the senior management of our Imakawa family. And His Highness Okabe knew the specific time of the transportation of the baggage." He paused, "and I and the governor's hall investigated for two years and found nothing. If the traitor was His Highness Okabe, then everything could be explained."
"He is an important official of our family. Although we investigated secretly, we are embarrassed to investigate him too strictly, for fear of arousing the alertness of his ninjas and causing him to be dissatisfied with the family governor. Therefore, he was not found to be a traitor." Shintoshi Semei shook his head regretfully, "In the Battle of Shili two years ago, the front-line garrison suffered major losses, and only His Highness Okabe, the troops who were alone, escaped... I'm afraid there was a tacit understanding among them."
"But this alone does not mean that His Highness Okabe has connections with the Oda family!" Yu Qiuhei argued with some excitement.
"Of course it's more than that." Asahi Nai Taisho, who has always been against the Okabe family, has deep resentment towards the Okabe family. "In the previous case of the land investigation, he suddenly struggled with the Asahi Nai family. It is very likely that he wanted to gain more power."
"This cannot be explained!" Yu Qiuhei's impression of Okabe Motonobu has always been a loyal and courageous image.
"Hongye, listen to us." Semeishi Toshi whispered: "If you think about it carefully, the series of coincidences that occurred in this battle are likely to be driven by the Okabe family."
"Minamihai Castle is all stationed by His Highness Okabe's men, and the other troops of our family were isolated outside the city. After the family governor's hall brought dozens of guards into the Tianshou Pavilion of Nakabe, they actually lost contact with the outside world." Toshiki Semei said that his face became more serious. "If His Highness Okabe really rebelled, it is very likely that he had already controlled the family governor's hall and even killed it. Or it attacked the messengers sent by the family governor's hall to isolate the internal and external contacts. However, the troops outside our city knew nothing. Then, they searched out command arrows and seals from the attendants of the family governor's hall, sent people to come over, and falsely conveyed the orders to us for retreat, and let the Oda family leave."
"And the few messengers who sent us the orders were gone afterwards." A ruthless look flashed in Semeishi's expression. "It is very likely that his Highness Okabe sent someone to pretend to. After sending us the orders, he immediately went to the Oda family formation and told them that the army in Naruhi City did not know that the main hall of the Home Supervisor was in Naruhi City, and they all thought that the main hall of the Home Supervisor was still in the Tuksan. Seeing the level of the shadow warrior in the Home Supervisor Hall would definitely be in chaos."
"So the people of the Oda Army provoked the level of the Shadow Warriors to disrupt our morale?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"Yes, but that's not enough." Semeshi Toshi shook his head, "In order to further disrupt our army, His Highness Okabe set fire to the Tianshou Pavilion and at the same time abandoned the city and fled. He burned the main hall of the family in the fire, and could die without a proof. As long as he said that he was ordered by the main hall of the main hall, he could be relieved of responsibility." Semeshi Toshi said with pain: "And the army outside the city collapsed without fighting. The Asahina family suffered losses as a result, but the Okabe family was as unscathed as the last battle."
The room suddenly became very small. All four of them were speechless.
"No, right..." Yu Qiuhei took a deep breath. Although Okabe Motonobu surrendered to the Takeda family at the last moment and did not work with the Asahina family to the end for the Imakawa family, he definitely had nothing to do with the Oda family. How could it be...
etc!
In the history of his previous life... the Okabe family's troops were almost unharmed in the Battle of Turksama. From beginning to end, they did not fight the Oda family on a large scale. After the battle, they negotiated with the entire city of Narutoshi as bargaining chips, and returned to the level of Imakawa Yoshimoto, and withdrew from Ohara decently - thus becoming the only hero of the Imakawa family in this battle.
Could it be...
A glimmer flashed suddenly in Yu Qiuping's eyes...
The Okabe family... has something to do with the Oda family! Indeed, after the Yamaguchi father and son were executed by Imakawa Yoshimoto, Okabe Motonobu has always been an important official on the front line and has a lot of opportunities to contact the Oda family.
In the Battle of Budsama in the previous life, Okabe's performance was as confusing as this battle...
Could it be... the Okabe family is really a traitor? No wonder the Oda family's surprise attack was so smooth? Could it be that the Okabe family provided him with a series of conveniences?
"But! What is the motive for His Highness Okabe doing this!" Yu Qiuhei was still a little unbelievable, "He is already an important official of the Imakawa family, and his status is extremely high! Even if he rebelled to the Oda family, he would be the status of an old and important official of the family!" Yu Qiuhei shook his head and said, "What did he do this? He killed His Highness the governor of the family and would get nothing!"
"You Qin Hui from the Ming Kingdom killed Yue Wumu. Was it because of rebellion to the Jin Kingdom?" Semei Shishou whispered.
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment.
"Is it for internal struggle..." Yu Qiuping said in a daze: "But he won't get much benefit from this move. Although the strength of the Asabina family has been weakened, our three families will never give him the opportunity to monopolize the power. Besides, Lord Shouguini is also very awesome."
"This is also the only suspicion..." Taehyung said in a deep voice: "If Okabe Motoshi really rebelled and killed His Highness the governor! Then he must have a chance to do so!"
"Report!" Before he finished speaking, the voice of the commander of the Hoshina family came from outside the room.
"What's the matter?" asked Asahita.
"The messenger from the Okabe family asked for a meeting outside the city and indicated that he wanted to see several commanders of the Imakawa family's directly under the army! I don't know how to reply." The messenger's tone was a little panicked, "Those people are coming in a fierce manner, I'm afraid the visitors are not good."
"What does this mean?" Asahita thought for a moment, and immediately understood, waved his hand to the messenger and left, "We will go over immediately and deal with it myself."
As soon as the messenger left, Akane Taichao immediately lowered his face and whispered: "Do you guys understand?"
"This is a battle for the command of the direct-level troops." Yu Qiuping coughed a few times and whispered: "His Highness, the family governor, was killed... No one can tell who is in command of this army now. During this crisis, they are just temporarily obeying our command."
"Your Highness Okabe is indeed a ill-conspirator." Sera Shishi shook his head and said, "It's really disappointing. Before the body of the family governor's hall was cold, he came to seize military power first!"
"What else is your name to you!" Asahina Taehyung cursed angrily: "Okabe Motoshi! It must be him who harmed the governor of his family! If you don't take this revenge, you will not be a human being!"
"Please calm down, my nephew." Semine Shin-shou advised: "You must not be so arbitrary before you have real evidence. The previous ones are just our suspicion."
"But no matter what, the intention of guarding others is necessary." Yu Qiuping added: "The forces of our three families are united and not as strong as 3ooo warriors. The Okabe family even has less than 2ooo warriors. The directly-in charge of His Highness the family governor has the strength of both of us at this time. The ownership of this power is of great importance. If His Highness Okabe really rebelled, this force must not fall into his hands!"
"That's right." Chaobinata snorted coldly, "Let's go and meet those messengers!"
