Chapter 243 Fire

When everything was quiet, Zhu Yijun finally ended his deep conversation with Zhang Juzheng and expressed his intention to return to the palace. Zhang Juzheng forced his sleepy eyes to open and breathed a sigh of relief: "I respectfully see you off, Your Majesty."

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I came to see a doctor, but I took the old gentleman and talked for half the night." Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face showed a deep honor and said: "This is my honor." After a pause, he said:

"I estimate that this is also a good story that can be recorded in the history of the country."

Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up and he said: "Wonderful! The old gentleman's energy has improved." After saying this, he stood up reluctantly.

When the door was opened, Wei Chao hurriedly came forward to greet him, shook out a cloak and said: "Your Majesty, there is still a bit of a cool breeze at night, please put some on it." Zhu Yijun said: "I don't care, you can put it on for the old gentleman."

"

Wei Chao smiled and said, "I have two pieces here." Zhu Yijun nodded in approval. Wei Chao hurriedly stepped forward and carefully put the cloak on him, and then put the other scarlet one on Zhang Juzheng.

Looking up at the sky, Zhu Yijun suddenly said with deep emotion: "I wonder how many emperors and kings in the world are shining on this crescent moon? These emperors, generals and ministers can be like you and me, our monarchs and ministers, they are strong and strong, and they are aspiring to thousands of miles."

outside?"

Zhang Juzheng laughed when he heard the words and said: "Your Majesty is just beginning to gain strength, but I am an old man." Zhu Yijun heard the words and sighed: "Mr. take care of yourself, take good care of your health, and stay with me for a few more years." Zhang Juzheng felt that his eyes were filled with tears.

Hot, he turned his head slightly and wiped his face.

After Zhu Yijun left the Zhang Mansion under numerous guards, You Qi came over and reported: "Master, Mr. Liu and the others can't wait, so I arranged to sleep in the guest room." Zhang Juzheng nodded and returned to the room with his help.

When he reached the stone bridge in the Summer Palace again, Zhang Juzheng also looked up at the traces of the moon, which looked deserted against the backdrop of the Milky Way in the sky.

Suddenly feeling agitated, Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "When I meet this enlightened master, I can only devote myself to death and die!"

...

At this moment, five thousand miles away, the cold moonlight was still shining on Inabayama Castle. In a mansion under the castle in Gifu Castle, Maeda Genki suddenly sat up from his sleep - because he seemed to hear something while half asleep and half awake.

I heard some whistling sounds.

He first touched the sword in his hand, and then gently clapped his palms. A young man woke up from his nap, knelt down and said, "My lord, do you want to get up for the night?"

Maeda Genki rubbed his eyes and said, "Are you Takahashi? I remember tonight is the sea protection night?"

The young man said: "Yes, my lord. Haibao ate something bad tonight. His stomach kept ringing and he kept passing gas. Because he was afraid of being rude, he changed shifts with me."

After hearing the explanation, Maeda Genyi didn't say anything. He just ordered: "I heard some noises in the yard. Go out and have a look."

Takahashi bent down and shouted "Hi", retreated to the door, opened the door and went out. Just after leaving for a while, he saw him running back and crawling: "Lord, something serious has happened! It seems...

.It seems that the castle keep is on fire!”

Maeda Genki was taken aback, stood up suddenly, opened the shoji of the Japanese-style room, and rushed out without even wearing shoes. His residence was two miles away from the castle tower in a straight line. At this time, he raised his head and tried hard toward the top of the mountain.

It looked like there was a faint red light.

He took a deep breath and shouted: "Here comes someone!" As one of the five great lords of the Oda family, the first generation lord of the Tanba Kameyama Domain, Maeda Gento had more than 150 soldiers in Gifu Castle.

When he shouted loudly, the whole house was in an uproar, and soon everyone was shouting and horses were neighing.

Before Maeda Genki could put on his clothes, the whole Gifu City was in turmoil. The fire of the castle became more and more obvious, and the sound of the gong of the fire was heard from a distance. Maeda Genki had already heard his neighbors shouting.

They all shouted noisily.

He was so anxious that before he finished arranging his armor, he ordered his generals to open the door of his house and led his people to rush toward the castle. There was definitely a fire there, because the red light at this time was no longer faint, but half red.

a sky.

Maeda Genyi shouted on the horse: "Nozawa! Nozawa!" His family general Nozawa Nao agreed, hit the horse and came straight over and said: "Lord!"

Maeda ordered: "Your riding skills are better than mine - take my tachi and rush in first to rescue the three mages!" Nozawa agreed, took the tachi in his hand, and straddled the horse.

, shouted "Drive!" The horse rushed out and disappeared on the mountain road.

Although Maeda Genki sent out samurai, he himself was also fighting horses desperately. However, Gifu Castle was built on the mountain, and there was only a winding mountain road under the castle. It was not far away, but it took a lot of time to turn around. And the castle was located

It's the commanding heights in the city, and you can't even run fast up the mountain.

When he rushed to the place where he could see the whole view of the castle, Maeda Xuanyi felt that the sky was spinning and the stars all over the sky were pouring down on him - the castle at this moment was like a big torch, which was bound to be peeled off and burned red, even though people shouted

Their horses were neighing, and everyone in the Oda family still poured water on the fire scene desperately, but anyone who came to see it would know that this was completely in vain, and the fire could not be saved at all.

In just a short while, Maeda's voice was completely hoarse. He said hoarsely: "Where is Nozawa?"

Takahashi and other people around him shouted a few times, and Nozawa ran over from the fire scene. His face was covered with black ash, his hair was burnt yellow, and his robe had several burnt holes.

Nozawa Nao saw Maeda, knelt down and cried and reported back: "Lord, when I came, the whole temple was on fire, but there was still some space in the front hall to go in. I grabbed a quilt, poured water on it and rushed in -

We didn't even get half a foot in. It was full of fire, and the pillars inside the palace were also on fire. I shouted a few times, but I heard nothing but the sound of fire."

Maeda Genyi suppressed the blood that was about to spurt out, and asked with hope: "Can we see His Highness the Third Master?" Nozawa shook his head, and then the God's guard Sato Saburo came over and reported: "Master Tokuzenin, Hua

It started very quickly, and by the time we found out, there were already fires all around the palace master, and it seemed...no one came out."

Maeda Gen yelled angrily, pulled out the tachi held in Nozawa's arms, and wanted to slash Sato Saburo to death. Sato turned pale with fright, and Takahashi, whose surname was also given to him, said softly: "Where is Your Highness Hideno? He

It seems that it’s also within the castle, haven’t you seen it?”

Impressed by this question, Maeda's murderous intention subsided a lot. Sato cast a grateful glance at Takahashi and replied: "His Majesty Hidenori needs to be weaned, so the mistress asked him to live in Ryūpōji Temple today and not in the castle."

.”

Maeda Genyi ordered: "Immediately send someone to protect Ryūpōji. If anything happens to His Highness Hidetori, I will have to perform a caesarean section..." Before he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a messenger with a horse riding on his back was heard.

Soldiers came galloping from the mountain road.

Maeda Xuan felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart, as if the news brought by the messenger would take away his soul. When he was nervous, he suddenly heard Takahashi beside him mutter: "We always see the courtyard.

Why do you want to change the name of the palace master to the castle guard...sigh."

Maeda Genyi's eyes were red, and he turned to look at Takahashi. He saw Takahashi's eyes staring at the fire scene, his face was so frightened that there was no color in his face, and he was mumbling nonsense words. He did not see that his lord was already angry at all.

Like crazy.

Maeda Genyi heard him continue to mutter: "Shibata Katsuie is very happy now. Your Highness Nobutada loves the Third Master the most."

Gen Maeda handed the knife to his left hand, slapped Takahashi on the face, and cursed: "You bastard, what are you talking about?"

Takahashi was so excited that he knelt down to plead guilty. Just when Maeda was about to continue scolding him, he saw that the messenger had already rushed in front: "Akechi Mitsuhide has rebelled! Minister Taizheng and His Highness Nobutada are trapped in Honnōji Temple!" Before he finished speaking, he fell with a thud.

Under the horse.

Maeda Genki spurted out a mouthful of blood, but before he fainted, everyone around him heard a loud noise, but someone mixed in with the fire-fighting crowd and fired a shot at Maeda Genki.

This shot clearly showed that the fire in Gifu City was definitely man-made. Maeda Gen's last thought in his life was: "The Oda family is finished!"
