Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The cold current blowing from the Kibi Plateau was cold to the bone, and a gift from Nizi Haruhisa made the meeting room of the Liangnomiya Mountain Castle cold and silent, Zhengheng looked at the young head in the wooden box, his face changed drastically, and he who had always been calm became extremely irritable, and his body trembled involuntarily. The sorrow of the world, or some more desolate feelings, suddenly came to his heart, making him feel a little trance.
As a traverser, Masahiro actually doesn't have much family affection for the people of the Date family.,I didn't grow up next to my parents when I was a child.,Very early I was exiled to the wild temple as a novice.,It's rare to see your father once a year.,Only my mother and sister Nana secretly sent winter clothes and summer clothes.γ His mother died, and Zhengheng didn't learn about it until more than half a year later, during which his sister came to visit him once, but he didn't tell him about his mother's death, and later heard that his sister married into the Shinmi family after going back that time.
At that time, Masahiro was just a novice in the temple, and every day he daydreamed of going to Oda Nobunaga to achieve the great cause of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, where could he have imagined that in the future he would become the second Sengoku daimyo in the Kibi region, and the situation between the yin and yang roads, I cried once when I heard that my mother died, and my sister got married and prayed for blessings in front of the Buddha.
The identity of the traverser seems to be beautiful, and it is inevitable that Zhengheng's heart will not produce a lonely feeling, he grew up in the wild temple from childhood to adulthood, in addition to the master who died early, and a few farmers who rented land, it is the relationship between his mother and sister that is deeper.
After the political balance, he once spared no effort to find his sister's whereabouts, and he always thought that his sister followed Shinmi Sadatsune and others to An Yi Kingdom, where did he think that he would come to Izumo and turned into a wisp of ghost. When his mother died, Zhengheng was not around, and he didn't expect his sister to die because of him, how not to make him resentful.
Looking at the peaceful head in the wooden box, the anger in his stomach rushed upward, and Zheng Heng looked at Maki Xiuxing with a fierce light, and saw that the latter was sweating on his forehead. Apparently, Maki also understood the importance of the woman's head in the wooden box to Date Masahiro. What he didn't expect was that the entourage he brought would be so bold and bold to act as his chief envoy, and secretly had some suspicions, but even if he had doubts, he had to pass the current hurdle before he could have his life back to investigate clearly.
Zhengheng took a deep breath of cool air, clenched his fists several times, and let go several times. It took so many times for him to calm down a little, glanced at the wooden box, and exhaled a breath of turbidity, before he ordered: "Xiaoxin, order the attendant to return to Tang Song with my sister's corpse and bury it next to my father and brother." Build a temple to support her. β
Hagiwara Takanobu was originally worried that Date Masahiro would launch a general attack due to anger, but now it seems that he is too worried, and he is worthy of being a man who has become a 500,000 stone Warring States daimyo before the age of twenty, and responded: "The minister understands! As he spoke, he instructed someone to wait to welcome the wooden box and leave the conference room.
Zhengheng watched the wooden box leave, with resentment and sadness in his eyes, and turned to look at the person behind Maki Xiuyuki, who was the man who had just handed over the gift. He said coldly: "You must be a dead soldier sent by the old thief of Nizi, yes, this plan to kill two birds with one stone has completely angered me." β
Maki Xiuyuki's face moved slightly, he heard Zhengheng's words and turned his head to look at the man, sure enough, he had never seen it before, it was a stranger, not a person under the command of Niko Haruhisa, it should be the dead man in Date Zhengheng's mouth.
Shiro Katayama and the others stepped forward and kicked down the three of them. Knocking down the three deputy envoys who wanted to struggle to resist, the three of them listened to Date Mashiro's words and felt at peace. They really couldn't understand that such an ingenious plan was going very smoothly ahead. But why, just when his plan was about to succeed, such a change occurred. Not only did it not cause Date Mashiro to be angry and angry, and he killed Maki Hideyuki on the spot, causing the hatred of the Bo Qi people, but it also did not cause Date Masaki to be angry and attack the decisive battle in advance.
Speaking of which, since the rise of Date Zhengheng in Bei China, he has defeated many heroes one after another and seized the position of the Warring States Daimyo of Bei China.
The people of the bowl house are the eyes and ears of Niko Haruha. Since helping Niko capture Tsukiyama Tomita Castle for a long time, it has transformed into a well-organized organization, and is the best at probing the intelligence of all parties, and then investigating certain people who need attention based on this information, so that the master can clearly understand the information of the opponent anytime and anywhere.
Verbally contemptuous of Date Mashiro, Nizi Haruhisa, is still somewhat jealous of the young Date Masaki, who is the eyes of Nizi Haruhisa, under his order, began to investigate and study Date Mashiro early, looking for Date Masaki's weaknesses and exploiting them, and heard that Date Masaki also has a sister alive, so he used the local stronghold to secretly hijack him and return to Izumo, waiting for an opportunity in exchange for greater benefits.
Originally, the bowl house people would not let Date Mashiro's sister sacrifice in vain, but as Date Masaki's rise accelerated, his sister's role became smaller and smaller, so there was a scene where Maki Hideyuki came to Liangnomiya Mountain Castle. Originally, in Niko Haruha's plan, he sent Maki Hideyuki to Ryonomiya Mountain Castle and asked the three dead soldiers selected by the bowl house to hand over Nana's head, which in turn aroused Date Masaki's anger and resentment, and killed Maki Hideyuki and others on the spot.
Once the Bo Qi people heard that Maki Xiu had died in the Lianggong Mountain Castle, it would inevitably cause them uneasiness, and then under the deliberate guidance of Nizi Haruhisa, they would definitely fight with the enemy, and the hesitant Bo Qi people would have to fall into his trap.
It's best to let Date Masaki be annoyed and angry and lead the decisive battle in advance, when the Bo Qi and Date soldiers fight fiercely, and both are defeated, Niko Haruhisa leads the Izumo people to turn the tide and win the final victory, winning great prestige and the final profit.
At this point, the whole plan was a complete success, regardless of whether Date Masatoshi would start a decisive battle in advance, Niko Haruhisa believed that anyone who would send a messenger in anger when they saw their relatives killed, that Maki Hideyuki was dead, and once Maki Hideyuki died, he had countless ways to make the Bo Qi people obediently submit.
It's just that such a perfect plan went wrong at the last moment. Date Masahiro not only didn't kill Maki Hideyuki on the spot in anger, but also didn't kill the three dead soldiers, just beat them up, and being able to handle affairs so rationally under anger really made others feel a cold sweat on their backs.
Zhengheng looked at Maki Xiuxing and said: "Maki Xiuxing, I think you have offended the old thief of Nizi, and you were pushed out as this scapegoat, today I will not kill you as the old thief wishes, nor will I imprison you, of course I will not kill the three of them." Go back and take me to say hello to the old thief of Niko, Shiro Guard, send a gift to Maki Hideyuki, don't run into any bandit ronin on the road and kill him, when the time comes, it will be a big blow to my prestige. His words were very clear, that is, to sue SΓΉ Maki Hideyuki, even if he was not killed on the spot by Date Masahiro in anger. On the way, someone will pretend to be a bandit ronin and attack him, which can also put the blame on Date Mashiro's head.
Now that the fierce battle between the two armies of Itanizi is imminent, where will there be bandits and ronins between the two armies, and they can't find death.
Maki Xiuyuki's face changed suddenly, and he looked up at Date Masahiro with a cold face and a fierce look in his eyes, and his mood was very complicated. After listening to Date Zhengheng's words, and then thinking of what the strange deputy envoy said, and the doubts at the beginning, where did he not understand? Thinking that he was being used, and that he had to deceive his feelings to send him to death, and even more so to assassinate his life on the way back, Maki Xiuyuki's face. It was as if a piece of ink had been splashed, and it was pitch black.
Maki Yuki saluted, "Thank you! After speaking, he gritted his teeth and replied, "The foreign minister will bring the original words of the lord to Nizi-sama." Obviously, he already hated Niko Haruha in his heart, but he obviously didn't mean to say much, and he didn't secretly betray the intelligence of Niko's military situation, and after saluting, he left Ryonomiya Mountain Castle under the leadership of Katayama Shiro Guard.
Maki Xiuyuki did not leave Ryonomiya Mountain Castle and soon encountered a thief as Zhengheng expected, Katayama Shiro led a team of more than 20 guards obviously did not deter the thief's footsteps, I don't know who shouted in front: "There are thieves!" The next moment, a group of thieves armed with bows and arrows and long knives suddenly appeared in the woods on the side of the road ahead. These thieves move extremely fast. The movements were not at all as loose as those of ordinary thieves, and the discipline was quite strict, and they rushed out of the forest in a few steps, jumped onto the road, and ran directly to kill.
Maki Xiuyuki never thought that Nizi Haruhisa would really be so unscrupulous to kill him on the spot, his face became extremely solemn, and he muttered: "I'm afraid there are forty or fifty people." "Forty or fifty doesn't sound like much. But this number of thieves appeared in the middle of the battle between the two armies, I am afraid that it is either from the Date army or the Nizi army can not be said, if it is really a thief, I am afraid that it will alarm Date Masahiro and Nizi Haruhisa The two are suspicious, and immediately stop the battle to find out if there are other forces around to join in.
Maki Xiuyuki was completely sure at this moment that these thieves in front of him must have been instructed by Niko Haruhisa. If Date Masahiro had killed him in one fell swoop in Ryonomiya Mountain Castle, why did he bother so much, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only hope that the nearby Date Army would come to the rescue.
Maki Xiuyuki didn't expect that Nizi Haruhisa would be so ruthless, and the group of thieves who killed out didn't expect that the more than 20 people who guarded would be so brave, and even before they could react, they heard several roars, and the three thieves who rushed to the front pierced through their chests and suddenly braved blood, and they were also equipped with iron cannons.
The thieves' faces changed drastically, and they couldn't help but feel panic and nervous when they saw such a heavily guarded escort for the first time.
At this time, Shi Nian was hiding in a small hut near the Tenman Tenjin Shrine on the edge of the Asahikawa River near Nishi-Uzada a mile and a half east of Kami-Nin Ho Castle, waiting for news of the attack group. Shi Nian heard that the spies monitoring the Lianggong Mountain Castle reported that Maki Xiuyuki was lucky to escape, so he ordered the attack group to attack, and it was necessary to leave Maki Xiuyuki in the Date military-controlled area, he looked into the distance and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know if it can be successful......
One of the men under his command smiled quite lightly: "It was Fumigo of the Shimoyama family who went to ambush, all of them were elites with one as ten, and there were three dead soldiers as internal responses, even if the Date family sent guards, it would be useless." "The bowl house is not a single family, there are many branches in the middle, the Shimoyama family is an important part of the bowl house, and Wengo is the eldest son of the Shimoyama family, and he has the strength of the middle ninja.
Hearing the sound of an iron cannon, Shi Nian's face changed drastically, he didn't expect the Date family to use an iron cannon, and said hatefully: "Damn! β
