Matsunaga Hide was so angry that he rushed out of the city on horseback. Outside Fushimi Castle, Honda Masanobu stood respectfully, waiting for her.
When Matsunaga Hide saw Honda Masanobu, he couldn't help but snorted, pointed his riding crop at her and shouted at her.
"What on earth did you do? What did my rebellious girl do behind my back!"
Honda Masanobu bowed and said.
"Lord, be angry.
Miyoshi successfully went to Luo, and His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugi accomplished a great feat that even His Highness Miyoshi Changqing could not achieve. The young master deserves great credit.
His Highness Miyoshi Yoshitsugu has promised to give the Matsunaga family a higher honor after going to Luo."
Matsunaga was impatient, whipped her and cursed.
"Noisy! Don't talk nonsense to me!
Tell me, where is that rebellious woman? How dare you hide such a big thing from me and do it secretly.
It’s the opposite! It’s really the opposite!”
Matsunaga has always been cunning and never trusts outsiders. This time she was pushed into the pit by her daughter who had carefully cultivated her, and she felt ashamed and angry for a moment.
Her pupils shrank, staring at Honda Masanobu like a poisonous snake.
Matsunaga has been working as a close man for Miyoshi Yoshitsugu for the past two years, and he just returned to his territory this autumn to assist in Yodo Castle's autumn harvest.
Matsunaga Hide was still very happy at the time, thinking that his daughter had grown up and understood the truth. Who knew that this was all a conspiracy!
The plan of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu and Matsunaga Michichi absolutely required the cooperation of Honda Masanobu. They were far away in Shikoku, and only through Honda Masanobu could they coordinate the Yodo Castle defenders and complete the plan.
Matsunaga Hide has already developed murderous intentions towards this young warrior Hime whom he once favored. His obedient daughter must have been seduced by this rebellious minister!
Honda Masanobu lowered his head, feeling frustrated.
One wrong step, another wrong step. He used Mitsuhide Akechi's intelligence to gain power, but now he is digging holes for the Matsunaga family because of her coercion.
The young girl Samurai Hime was expelled from Mikawa Kingdom and was depressed and wanted to prove herself. Now there is only fear in her heart.
Falling into the Miyoshi family's plan to overthrow the shogunate and betraying their master, Matsunaga Hide, Honda Masanobu was dragged into the abyss little by little by Akechi Mitsuhide and could never look back.
The politics of the samurai family were so terrible, and he was still too immature. At this time, Honda Masanobu no longer had the arrogance to stand out, and just wanted to survive this disaster and live a good life.
She knew that no matter how she replied, Matsunaga Hide would find a reason to kill her and put all the responsibility on her to clear her daughter's relationship.
However, Honda Masanobu doesn’t want to die!
So she followed Akechi Mitsuhide's instructions and led Matsunaga on a wrong path, which was enough to shock Matsunaga and leave him with no time to care about anything else.
Honda Masanobu bowed and said.
"Young Master went to the Imperial Palace."
Matsunaga Hide was really shocked. The general was in Nijo Castle, and only the male members of the Ashikaga family were left in the imperial palace. What was this rebellious woman going to do?
she asked sharply.
"What is she going to do!"
Honda Masanobu replied respectfully.
"Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's army is still on the way, and the first people to arrive are my Matsunaga family and the Miyoshi family.
Miyoshi and three others went to Nijo Castle to besiege the shogun, but Mr. Kokata may not be willing to surrender. So I asked the young master to lead troops to the imperial palace and control the male members of the Ashikaga family."
Matsunaga Hide was so frightened that he rushed to Kyoto to stop his daughter's stupid move. Who came up with this idea of giving birth to a daughter without vaginal eyes? What a bastard!
Ashikaga Yoshiteru is known as a strong-willed man with a strong personality who will never open the city to surrender. The Miyoshi family actually asked Matsunaga Michi to go to the imperial palace to capture the male relatives and threatened the general to surrender. This was to trap the Matsunaga family to death!
The Ashikaga Shogun family is a direct descendant of the Kawachi Genji family. Once the story of coercing the male members of her family is leaked, will the Matsunaga family still be regarded as a samurai family? If ten thousand wives point it out, their reputation will definitely be ruined!
Matsunagahide couldn't care less about Honda Masanobu and rushed to the imperial palace to prevent this from happening.
This rebellious girl!
Matsunaga Hide gritted his teeth. Her plan to create conflict between the Miyoshi family and the shogunate was disrupted by her trusted daughter.
The Mihaoshi family has already gone to Luo. As an important minister of the Mihaoshi family, she has no other choice but to follow them and cause trouble.
The memory of the earlier confrontation with the shogun seemed like the next day. Ashikaga Yoshiki must have thought that she was deceiving her and was deliberately trying to stabilize himself.
The general will hate the Matsunaga family!
———
When Matsunaga Hide was in a bad mood and quickly headed to the imperial palace, Honda Masanobu stood there for a long time, feeling that his underwear was soaked with cold sweat and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
Matsunaga Hide just now had murderous intentions, and he would definitely liquidate himself after the war. Honda Masanobu left in a daze and came to the place agreed with Akechi Mitsuhide.
On a hill not far from Fushimi Castle, Mitsuhide Akechi was sitting on a horse under a tree, looking at the continuous flow of Miyoshi's troops from the Uji River into Kyoto.
Honda Masanobu walked up to her in despair, kowtowed to the ground.
"Sir Akechi, I have completed what you asked me to do."
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at the forest of spears in the distance and said lightly.
"Leave if you want, I'm not stopping you."
Honda Masanobu trembled all over and gritted his teeth and said.
"I am willing to serve you and please take me in."
"Isn't this bad? You are a servant of the Matsunaga family."
Honda Masanobu looked up at her in despair, Akechi Mitsuhide said with a smile.
"No more joking with you, just stay with me for the time being."
After saying that, she clapped her palms twice. Saito Rizo, wearing armor and holding a spear, came out from behind the tree with several people and a murderous look.
"Please arrange for Honda to find someone to escort her back to my territory for a temporary stay."
Honda Masanobu breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he had made the right choice. If he had chosen to leave just now, it would have been a dead end.
She knows too much, Akechi Mitsuhide will never let her go.
———
Seeing Honda Masanobu heading to his territory in relief, Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head slightly.
It was impossible for her to let Honda Masanobu go, this person knew too much. Fortunately, she was smart enough, and she admired her very much, so she should just keep her alive and work for herself. Talents are rare.
This time Miyoshi went to Raku, and the Ashikaga Shogun family was in trouble, it could only be caused by the Miyoshi family, the Rokkaku family, the Ise family, and the three parties collaborating together. The Shiba family must be clean and clean, without any involvement.
Akechi Mitsuhide has set the stage. The most important thing now is to carefully wipe away his own traces and quietly watch the feast from the outside.
Honda Masanobu is one, and Fujibayashi Anzu is also one. Thinking of Fujibayashi Anzu who was finishing her work in the capital, Akechi Mitsuhide's delicate face couldn't help but reveal a mocking expression.
This stupid woman, she still fantasizes about following her to the throne, killing the Third Taifu of Baidi, and avenging her mother.
How could there be such a stupid person in the world? She has done so many shameful things and is more troublesome than Honda Masanobu. How can Akechi Mitsuhide sleep at night if he keeps her?
Only the dead can keep secrets.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked into the distance, thinking about something. At this time, Fujibayashi Mukuro hurried over and saluted.
"Lord Akechi, what happened in Kyoto? Why did the Miyoshi family come to Luo?"
