Chapter 28 blood and sand

(He even cruelly ordered Ieyasu's eldest son, and his son-in-law Xinkang to commit suicide...) Mitsuhide would never do such an act.However, this kind of thing that no one else can do, Nobunaga does it completely nonchalantly... After Mitsuhide bid farewell to Nobunaga, he came to Nobhime's room again, and said unhappily, "I'm really sorry, I can't help at all. Your Excellency has already decided to punish Nobunaga." Speaking of this, he felt a pain in his chest. "He finally did." "The important ministers of the Tokugawa family are really serious. Why don't you beg your lord to spare Xinyasu's life?"

Nohime kept silent, staring straight at the sky, as if lost in thought. (Finally, even Deji could not help but become a victim of the times, and was about to lose her husband...) A long time ago, Nonghime was also ordered by his father to assassinate Nobunaga, so he was sent to Oda's house and became the saddest bride. The plan to assassinate Nobunaga by chance did not succeed.However, at the beginning, she also obeyed her father's order and passed all kinds of information to her father who was stationed in Meinong.Of course Dek-hee married Shin-kang for the same purpose; that is, she had to do the same things as No-hee.Therefore, for the sake of the Oda family, she must tell her father that Mrs. Tsukiyama became the head of the Takeda family.Furthermore, because of her resentment towards Xin Kang, she told Nobunaga about the matter without thinking about it on the spur of the moment, and involved Xin Kang who had no knowledge of it in fact.

This is all because her thoughts are too simple.Ever since her mother-in-law Mrs. Tsukiyama arranged for the woman she liked to become Xinkang's concubine, Deji was very angry.Although a woman's jealousy is quite scary, it also proves that she loves her husband deeply.This situation is very similar to how Nobhime loved Nobunaga deeply before. However, Deji never imagined that because of her small report, she caused the murder of her beloved husband... Although Mitsuhide couldn't stop complaining to those important ministers, blaming them for not doing their best to plead for Xinkang's life; however, Nohime seemed to have understood.

It turned out that the two important officials from the Tokugawa family, Tadashi Sakai and Tadashi Okubo, did not understand Nobunaga's temper. When they thought about it, Xinkang was Nobunaga's beloved son-in-law after all, and no matter what, Nobunaga would not order him to commit seppuku - that's why they dared to come here to complain.It's just that their thinking is too simple. At first, they thought that Nobunaga was just calling Xinkang to scold him... they didn't expect Nobunaga to be a person who didn't show affection at all.He had killed countless people on the battlefield, so even he didn't have much affection for his own blood relatives.Therefore, when the important ministers complained a lot about Xinkang, he had no choice but to focus on the general situation of the Tokugawa family and ordered Xinkang to "cut his belly".

Of course, this also means that De Ji misjudged his father, and the thoughts of the two ministers, Sakai and Okubo, were too simple. Now these two people must be on their way home with pale faces and panicked expressions. They never imagined that after the news that Mrs. Tsukiyama became the housekeeper of the Takeda family, Xinkang had to cut his seppuku. "Does Mr. Tokugawa have any other sons?" Mitsuhide asked. "Yes, but he is too young to help him!" "I heard that Yu Yimaru belongs to Mr. Tokugawa, but he is still in his infancy!" "I think Mr. Tokugawa will be shocked."

"I'm afraid it's more than just a shock." "Then you think he will hold a grudge against Your Excellency?" "That's it!...My lord's temper is like this, but in all conscience, he is also thinking of the Tokugawa family..." Mitsuhide felt a pain in his heart, making it impossible for him to continue speaking. (Why does he have to do seppuku?) "Okay, I have to go back to Sakamoto immediately, maybe I'm going to send troops to Araki soon!" Nohime just nodded, as if thinking about something. Guangxiu stood up and silently walked towards the main entrance.

(Why on earth would adults do such a thing?...) Once the eldest son who finally grew up was executed, Ieyasu would definitely hold a grudge against Nobunaga. Nobunaga must also understand this, but why did he insist on taking severe punishment at the risk of becoming an enemy of Ieyasu? On the way down the mountain, Mitsuhide kept thinking about this question. Suddenly, he stopped... A thought flashed into his mind, and he finally realized the real intention of Nobunaga ordering Xinkang to harakiri. Mitsuhide looked at the surrounding stone walls firmly, and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is! Yes, it must be like this!"

For a moment, he felt creepy all over. Mitsuhide shook his head abruptly, then continued walking.
