The first thousand and forty-nine chapters escape from the forbearance of Fuji Lin Xing
General Ashikaga arrived at Ninomaru's residence, and the Miyoshi army inside and outside Nijo Castle was in chaos.
At this time, the sky was already dark. In the corner of Sannomaru, Takada Yukino was sweating coldly and walked out of the secret passage with gritted teeth.
She was trembling all over, as if she was seriously ill. The backlash of forcibly breaking through her limits brought her to the verge of physical collapse. Now she relies on perseverance to persevere.
Just when she was struggling to move her body, she was spotted by the patrolling Miyoshi Iehime Samurai, who shouted loudly.
"stop!"
The Hime Samurai came forward with the three accompanying Ashigaru and surrounded Takada Yukino with their spears.
Yukino tightened her grip on the knife and took a deep breath. Just when she was about to fight for her life, a shuriken suddenly appeared and pierced Samyoshihime's neck.
"who!"
The Hime Samurai who led the team was killed instantly. The three Ashigaru looked around in panic. Several black shadows took the opportunity to bully them and approached them, covering their mouths and cutting their throats.
Yukino looked at the dark figures whose enemies and friends were unknown, slowly drew out his sword, and one of them said anxiously.
"Master Takada, it's me."
She raised her hands and came closer. Under the dim sight, Yukino barely recognized her.
"Fujibayashi...sisters?"
"Hi, I'm Fujibayashi Muku."
Of course Yukino knew the twins, she was the head of the Shiba family. In theory, Yagyu Munenuki's Yagyu-gumi were still her subordinates.
Yukino Takada must know the leaders of the three groups of secret agents in Shiba's family, the Yagyu group, the middle group, and the military group. This is her responsibility.
Seeing that she recognized him, Fujibayashi breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Sir, Akechi Mitsuhide sent me to pick you up, please come with me."
Takada Yukino nodded and looked in the direction of Ninomaru Residence Hall.
"What about the general?"
Fujibayashi looked ugly and said.
"I just sneaked into the residence and found that the general had... unfortunately died.
The Three Good Army's situation is in chaos because of the general's death. Please follow me out of the city immediately."
Takada Yukino looked towards the residence, her expression obscured by the night.
"do you died.."
She slowly lowered her head, and Fujibayashi noticed that her shoulders were shaking slightly, as if she was crying.
"Sir? Are you okay?"
Takada Yukino shook his head and said coldly.
"Take me out of here, I promised her, I will leave alive."
He didn't understand what Takada Yukino was saying at all, but when he heard that she was willing to leave, Fujibayashi immediately ordered a genin to leave the city quickly, even though she couldn't stand on his back.
Takada Yukino was in a daze on the genin's back, the golden seal in her arms was touching her stomach, and she subconsciously clenched the Mikazuki Munechika in her hand.
———
There was chaos in Kyoto, and Mitsuteru Akechi planned to retreat to his own territory.
In the past, Shiba Yoshiyin was entrusted with the nearby Shiba Territory. Mitsuhide Akechi's intellectual property was Kita-Iga Shikakusho, and he also took charge of Shiba Ryosho Liuqiangoku in Hokuyamato.
This time, she was retreating to Northern Iga. Her Northern Iga territory was in Abai County of Iga Country, close to Yamashiro Country. Except for a few villages belonging to the Niki family, most of them were her territory.
Niki Yoshimasa took the initiative to give up the Iga guardianship. After reviving the family business, Shiba Yoshigan was very polite to the Niki family and did not govern these villages as the Iga guardian.
Akechi Mitsuhide has lived in Kyoto for most of the past two years and has not paid much attention to the construction of the territory. When she came back this time, she simply lived in the new village on the border so that she could keep an eye on the changes in Kyoto.
At this time, she met Fujibayashi Xing, who had just returned from Kyoto, in the residence hall and listened to her report.
"So, Odaisho is dead, Ashikaga Teru-kun is also dead?"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked calm, but Fujibayashi Anzu, who was sitting next to him, was very nervous and answered with his head down.
"Hi! I saw with my own eyes that the Odai ordered the Odai to pile firewood and light a fire, and then... His Highness Ashikaga Teru-kun ran into the palace..."
She lowered her head and spoke slurred words. Akechi Mitsuhide entrusted her with this treacherous task, which made her panic.
Although she had done many shameful things for Mitsuhide Akechi, attacking the Ashikaga General family was still far beyond her psychological endurance.
It's just that Fujibayashi has no way to refuse. She has already been deeply trapped and unable to escape from Mitsuhide Akechi's control.
After Akechi Mitsuhide got the answer he needed, he ignored Fujibayashi and waved his hand to ask her to leave.
Fujibayashi Xing hesitated, bowed and asked.
"Sir, after the Kyoto Incident, will the Lord come back from Kanto?"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked at her with a half-smile and nodded.
Fujibayashi Xing asked again.
"Then... Bai Di San Taifu will also come back?"
Her expression was twisted and she was gnashing her teeth. Just to avenge her mother and kill the bitch Momochi Santafu, she was dragged down step by step by Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at her, lowered his head and continued to read his paperwork.
Fujibayashi Xing asked again.
"Sir, I have done everything for you, but what about the things you promised me?"
Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head and said doubtfully.
"Have I promised you anything?"
Fujibayashi was stunned. She wanted to say something, but suddenly she realized that Akechi Mitsuhide never seemed to agree to her request directly. Her face instantly turned pale and her body trembled slightly.
Akechi Mitsuhide gave her a cold look and said.
"You go out."
Teng Linxing walked out in despair, when suddenly there was a sound behind her.
"correct."
As if grasping a glimmer of hope, she eagerly looked back at Mitsuhide Akechi, only to see a pair of playful eyes.
"The Lord is coming back, and so is the Third Master of Baidi.
The Lord is furious about the Kyoto Incident, guess who he will let to find out the truth?"
Fujibayashi Xing's body was shaking more and more violently, like a sieve filtering rice bran.
Akechi Mitsuhide looked through the documents on the slips and said calmly.
"If I were you, I would never let Bai Di San Taifu catch me.
It is an unbearable shame and humiliation to let the enemy who killed your mother interrogate you and extract a confession through torture."
Fujibayashi Xing raised her hand tremblingly, pointing at Mitsuhide Akechi, and was speechless for a long time.
Her face turned from white to green, then from green to black, and finally she glared at Akechi Mitsuhide, gritted her teeth and left.
Saito Rizo walked out from behind Akechi Mitsuhide and asked with a solemn expression.
"Sir, did she discover me?"
"Of course, she is a Jonin of the Fujibayashi family after all, and she can smell the scent of you ambush soldiers with her nose."
"Do you want me to send someone to chase her and kill her?"
Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.
"I asked you to lead an ambush just to scare her away. Fujibayashi Xing knows too much and must die, but not in my hands.
Let her go, Bai Di San Taifu will definitely catch her back. The inside story she knows is too horrifying, Bai Di San TaiFu will not leave her alive."
Saito Rizo hesitated.
"The third husband of Baiji caught her. Doesn't the Lord know that you are the mastermind of the Kyoto Incident?"
Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.
"I never thought of deceiving the Lord. Everything I did was for the Sibo family and the Lord.
The Shiba family cannot be tainted with a trace of injustice, Fujibayashi An must die. As for me? No matter what the master does to me, I will have no regrets."
Saito Rizo shook his head, becoming more and more confused about his master, what on earth was she doing? And what was she trying to do?
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly.
Mitsuhide Akechi has rarely followed Yoshihide Akechi's strategy in recent times, and has encouraged all parties to join forces to launch a regicide. Yoshihide Shiba will be angry when he learns of this, but he will not kill Mitsuhide Akechi.
Because the plan of occupying the magpie's nest hidden deep in the two people's hearts needs Akechi Mitsuhide to complete, so someone must bear the lord's wrath.
Akechi Mitsuhide cannot attack the Fujibayashi sisters. She must show her loyalty to Shiba Yoshigan and allow her master to have a channel to learn the truth.
Afterwards, the Fujibayashi sisters will not feel good. Momochi Santao and her military group will definitely overwhelm the middle group and become the leader of the Shiba Ninjas.
Fujibayashi knew too much and had to die. So what about Fujibayashi? Fujibayashi was going to die in the hands of the third husband of Momochi. Fujibayashi and she had a hatred for killing their mother and killing their sister, but they were irreconcilable.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, hatred will make people lose their minds and be desperate. Fujibayashi Mukuro will become a useful new tool. She appreciates cautious Fujibayashi Mukuro more than stupid Fujibayashi Xing.
———
A few days later, Fujibayashi came to Kitaiga to protect Yukino Takada, who was seriously injured and unconscious.
In the village house, the doctor carefully diagnosed Takada Yukino's pulse, then kowtowed to the side of Akechi Mitsuhide and said.
"Sir Mingzhi, this gentleman's external injuries are not serious. What's troublesome is that he is deficient in qi and blood, and his internal organs are suffering from fatal internal injuries.
If I hadn't seen a real person, it would be hard for me to imagine that someone could survive after being seriously injured like this."
Mitsuhide Akechi looked at Yukino Takada, who was unconscious, clutching Mikazuki Munechika with one hand and the seal of the King of Japan with the other, with a complicated expression.
Of course she knew the famous sword and the golden seal, but she didn't expect that Ashikaga Yoshiteru would give these two things to Takada Yukino before he died.
After pondering for a long time, Akechi Mitsuhide noticed that the doctor was looking at him eagerly and smiled gracefully.
"She won't die. I believe that even if she reaches hell, she will try her best to return to the world. You can use what you have learned in your life to help her regain her strength."
The doctor bowed and asked.
"This... human power is invincible. If this sir has an emergency..."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled tenderly at her.
"Then you and your whole family will be buried for her. Save her, or bring your whole family to die with her."
After saying that, Akechi Mitsuhide stopped looking at the doctor who collapsed with fear, got up and walked out.
Fujibayashi Mukuo outside the door bowed when he saw her coming out. Akechi Mitsuhide nodded politely and said.
"The autumn wind is bleak. Come with me to the village to see the fallen leaves."
Fujibayashi was stunned for a moment. Mitsuhide Akechi had already left, and she had to follow him.
The autumn harvest is over, and there are rice racks all around the fields. Villagers carefully spread out the rice and use the autumn sun to dry the moisture.
If the rice cannot be dried before winter, it will easily become moldy and insect-infested. Most of the year's harvest is here, and no one dares to slack off.
Akechi Mitsuhide asked calmly as he walked past the rice rack and valley fragrance.
"How is the situation in Beijing?"
Fujibayashi looked at her inexplicably and said in confusion.
"Sir, you have always left the affairs of the capital to Fujibayashi Xing, didn't she inform you?"
Akechi Mitsuhide looked back at Fujibayashi and said helplessly.
"Fujibayashi Xing is missing."
"What!"
Fujibayashi was shocked. She was full of doubts and hoped to meet her sister to find out. Who knew that her sister was missing? What was going on?
Although she was suspicious of Akechi Mitsuhide, she did not dare to show it on her face. This adult had strange thoughts, and she often dealt with him with trepidation and caution.
Akechi Mitsuhide became even more excited when he saw Fujibayashi's caution. Compared to the stupid Fujibayashi, it seemed more useful to capture Fujibayashi. But she was not in a hurry, the time was not yet ripe, and the future was long.
Akechi Mitsuhide pretended to be depressed and said.
"I sent Ano Fujibayashi to the Imperial Palace to rescue people, but who knew that the Imperial Palace was in a fire, and both Odaisho and His Highness Ashikaga Teru-kun were killed in it.
I waited and waited, but she didn't come back to see me. There is chaos in Kyoto, I need information to deal with the funeral, and you have to take responsibility."
Fujibayashi caught a flaw and asked.
"I remember that you had already left Kyoto and returned to Kitaiga. Fujibayashi Xing didn't come back, so how did you know about the fire at the Imperial Palace?"
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said nothing, looking at Fujibayashi. He looked at Fujibayashi until cold sweat started flowing down his forehead, and then he looked back.
"You are very smart and know how to be patient. But after all, caring is a mess, so you still asked things you shouldn't."
Fujibayashi swallowed his saliva and smiled bitterly.
"After all, she is my sister, and I cannot ignore her life or death. You have been guarding me for the past two years, and she has hidden everything from me. I have to find a way to save her."
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled and said.
"She works for me, and I am loyal to the Lord. What do you have to worry about?"
Fujibayashi stared at Akechi Mitsuhide's smile and suddenly asked.
"I dare to ask about your so-called loyalty. Did the Lord know about this chaos in Kyoto in advance?"
Akechi Mitsuhide was not embarrassed to be stared at by her, he lifted his hair behind his ears and said calmly.
"If we all expect the master to arrange things and do it himself, what else are we going to do to support us?"
Fujibayashi suppressed the anger in his heart and lowered his head without saying a word.
She thought to herself, you walked away from the master's will and dragged my sister into trouble. Now the trouble is out of control. Just a simple word of "preparing for the Lord" and that's it.
Akechi Mitsuhide sighed and said.
"I can't do anything like killing a donkey. After all, she obeys my orders. I won't kill her."
Fujibayashi looked up at her and asked nervously.
"Sir, are you serious about this?"
Akechi Mitsuhide nodded solemnly and answered.
"Please believe that everything I do is for the Sibo family and the Lord.
If I, Mingzhi Guangxiu, have any selfish motives, I am willing to be punished by heaven, cut off from my descendants, and be reborn in the eighteenth level of hell, where I will never be reincarnated."
After hearing her swearing such a poisonous oath, Fujibayashi couldn't help but breathe heavily and quickly. Looking at her solemn face, he nodded slowly.
"Of course I believe in your lord's loyalty to the lord.
We, the ninja, do dirty work and hard work for the master's family, which is what we should do. But if my sister goes too far, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive."
Akechi Mitsuhide said sincerely.
"When the master returns to the near future, I will take the initiative to take all responsibilities. Fujibayashi Xing is nowhere to be seen, so just assume that she died in Kyoto.
She has devoted herself to the Shiba family, and I don't want her to have a good end. Letting her live will make me feel better."
Fujibayashi Mukuro was teased by Akechi Mitsuhide's acting skills, and moved by the poisonous oath and promise, he lowered his head and bowed.
"Fujibayashi is very grateful. I will investigate the information in Beijing as soon as possible and present it to you."
Akechi Mitsuhide also returned the gift slightly and said sincerely.
"I don't worry about what you do. I mean what I say, so please don't worry."
She smiled coldly in her heart, Teng Lin Ming was still a little tender.
