At this time, in Yoshida Gunyama Castle in Aki Province, Kodama Jie was secretly discussing with Mori Terumoto the plan to enter Shikoku.
To Mouri Terumoto's surprise, Kodama Yuei was also opposed to marching into Shikoku at this time. He lowered his head and said: "My lord, Kodama Yuei has always obeyed all the lord's orders conditionally, but this time,
Are we too anxious?"
"Why Kodama is so heroic! You are against me too?!" Mouri Terumoto suddenly became angry: "Those kids from the Yoshikawa Kyouke family are more immature, so I won't care about them. As a mature and competent military commander, how can you
You said such stupid things?"
"Lord, I'm just making my suggestions. The decision-making power is of course in your hands!" Kodama immediately changed the subject after saying this: "Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"But it's okay!" Mouri Terumoto said angrily.
Kodama rolled up his sleeves and saw a long scar on his right arm!
"What happened?" Maori Huiyuan looked at him doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"My men and I were attacked by ninjas in Koyama Castle. These ninjas left this thing behind!" Kodama said and presented a copper token with both hands to Mouri Terumoto's eyes.
I saw that this was something unique to the Maori family nobles, used to enter and exit the castles of each clan. The word "Yoshikawa" was engraved on it.
"What do you mean?" Maori Huiyuan became even more angry: "You young people really disappoint me!"
"Huh?" Kodama Jiaying did not expect Mouri Terumoto's reaction like this, and he was so frightened that he swallowed what he planned to say next.
Mao Lihui stood up energetically: "We are both members of the Maori family, but we attack and frame each other. Isn't this interesting? You go out first!"
Kodama, who had been robbed of his virginity, was baffled and retreated with a depressed look.
At this time, his retainer Xiliangji Ken, who was waiting outside for him, saw him coming out and hurriedly approached him to ask. Unexpectedly, Kodama looked ashen and said nothing until they returned to their residence and said angrily: "
Your Highness doesn’t know what’s wrong! He has no patience at all and scolded me before I could finish my words!”
"Did those guys from Yoshikawa slander you in front of His Highness? Those guys have always been hostile to you!" Nishiroji Kenichi said, holding his chin with his hand.
"" Kodama meditated on the film, thinking that it could only be like this, but he also felt that it seemed unreasonable. Listening to Mouri Terumoto's tone just now, it seemed that he was not only dissatisfied with him, but
"Is your injury okay?" Nishiliangji Kenichi said attentively. He has always been Kodama's close confidant and Kodama's best friend. He is loyal to him.
When he was attacked, Kodama Juei had only a dozen people with him, and they were killed by those ninjas in a few strokes. If it weren't for the superb swordsmanship of Kenichi Nishiroji next to him, he would not only have been stabbed.
It's as simple as just an arm.
"Siryoji Kenichi, do you think the person who attacked us is really a member of the Yoshikawa Sutra family?" Kodama Jiaying felt a little enlightened at this time: "According to my understanding of him, although that guy has not corrected his karma and is a pile of mud, he has always been a person."
His character would not do such a thing. Besides, if it was a ninja sent by him, why would he carry his token with him? This makes no sense at all."
"Perhaps it is to make it easier for those ninjas to enter and exit?" Xiliangji Kenichi guessed: "You know, those ninjas need to pass through many levels to enter the city. With his token, they can naturally pass through."
"Joke!" Kodama Jiying said without thinking: "Since it is a secret assassination, who would be stupid enough to show off openly with his master's token? Then why are they still wearing masked night clothes? Besides, let's talk about it.
, our family’s transfer procedures for ninjas are very complicated, and according to their status, they are not qualified to transfer ninjas!”
Who is that?
While Kodama Yue and others were worrying about this problem, Yoshikawa Keike and others were also preparing for war and discussing how to deal with Kodama Yue.
"I always feel that keeping Kodama is a disaster!" Toshinao Kumagai said while trying on the newly made armor for himself: "If I don't get rid of this disaster, I always feel like there is something that I can't let go of.
"
Hiroyuki Yoshikawa also spoke up: "That's right! I saw today that Kodama Yuei seems to have a lot of guards around him. I wonder why he needs so many guards when he lives in the main city. Maybe
You have other plans!"
Yoshikawa Keike, who was testing the sword with a scarecrow, suddenly stopped. He suddenly thought of a question: Why did Kodama wait until they arrived at Ginzan Castle to kill him?
He only killed dozens of old and weak soldiers. According to Kodama's right to kill them, he could have mobilized more people to plot against him further away. Why did he choose Ginshan City?
At this time, he seemed to feel that someone was missing. After looking around, he asked: "Where is that guy Kobayakawa Hideaki? Why can't he be seen?"
"Oh, he seems to have gone to borrow armor from his brother Kobayakawa Shubao. His body is too thin and he can't wear ordinary armor, haha!" Hiroie Yoshikawa said with a smile.
At this moment, Kobayakawa Hideaki walked in with his head lowered. Seeing several people looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.
"What's wrong with this bitch? Something's wrong!" Hiroyuki Yoshikawa said sensitively: "According to my experience, he must have been teased as a girl!"
"No!" Kumagai Toshiyama said with a smile: "If that's the case, I guess it's too late for him to be happy!"
Yoshikawa Kyouke sensed something strange. He approached Hideaki Kobayakawa who was sitting silently aside, and said gently: "Kobayakawa, what's wrong with you? If you need anything, tell me, brother, and see if I can help."
If you are always so silent, I really won't be able to help you."
