Chapter 21 Tongue Flower

Aichi Juami definitely doesn't hate Maeda Mataemon. And Saemon's honest personality and righteous law's character are what he admires. (This man has something that I don't have...) And this is why he believes that Nobunaga loves him.Naturally he felt jealous about it, but it didn't make him say nasty things to Maeda. This venomous tongue was something he was born with.If it's someone he doesn't like, he can still control his emotions a little bit; however, once he meets Mazaemon, even he himself can't control his tongue for some reason. (It's definitely not because Mazaemon has a worse mind than me...)

But for one thing, Juami often comprehends it five or ten seconds earlier than Matazaemon, but this definitely does not mean that he is slow to realize it because his mind is dull... Juami thought so. In the eyes of a third party, Mataemon might be considered ordinary, while Juami has a better mind.However, for the quick-witted Juami, he believed that Maeda Mataemon was definitely not someone who lost his sense of proportion because of anger and drew his sword impulsively; with his sensitivity, he knew that Maeda was not this kind of person. Because of this, Juami dared to treat Mazaemon like this.This is like a very willful child who often speaks extremely vicious words to his parents, but Juami turns his innate poisonous tongue to Mazaemon, maybe doing so can keep him psychologically balanced .

In short, Juami fully believed in Nobunaga's will for every word of Nobunaga. What breaks Nobunaga's heart the most now is that although the nearby wild warriors and those in prison may not all be on our side; but once the battle of Shangluo occurs, the first person to leave the city must be Nobunaga, and the opponent It is Okazaki's Matsudaira Party, so he hopes to reach an agreement with the Matsudaira Party. The lord's Takechiyo has now been renamed Matsudaira Motoyasu, and is a hostage in Junfu. This makes it easier for people to feel their strength for the powerful group of the Okazaki Matsudaira Party, which has been waiting for ten years.

Furthermore, Imagawa Yoshimoto will try his best to defeat Nobunaga no matter what, so maybe he will let Okazaki Castle welcome his master. No!If he didn't fight hard on the battlefield, Yuan Kang's wife and children might be beheaded.In this way, the people in the Sanhe area have no room to retreat, and they are all dead. Of course, Yoshimoto Imagawa also took this into account, and this is why he ordered the Matsudaira party to play forward.In the event that Nobunaga's military strength is relatively strong and the entire Matsudaira party is wiped out, Yoshimoto will not be hit too much.No matter how he thought about it, Yoshimoto didn't have to give Okazaki Castle back to anyone, so he probably felt relieved.

In this situation, Nobunaga certainly hopes to conclude a secret agreement with the Matsudaira Party as much as possible so that the two parties can try their best to avoid direct conflicts. Fortunately, Yuan Yasushi was lured to Atsuta during Takechiyo's time. At that time, Nobunaga and him were very friendly children's playmates, and they called him Mikawa's younger brother. The relationship between the two was very harmonious. In addition, Juami, who was killed by Maeda Mataemon, came to Okazaki Castle as a secret envoy, this is really the most appropriate method. Using Nobunaga's favorite as a secret envoy, he waited there for the end of the Battle of Shangluo, and entered Okazaki Castle as a hostage.He must state the pros and cons of it, and convince those stubborn veterans of the Matsudaira family.

"—We must not fall into Yoshimoto's scheme. If we fall into his scheme, we would be too stupid. Whether it is Matsudaira or Oda, we must not completely perish." Convincing them became Juami's main task. At this time, Maeda Matazaemon also felt that it was his responsibility to cover from the side.Originally, he had been ordered to disappear immediately after beheading the ten Ami, so he had to appear earlier than the dead ten Ami, and at the same time he had to take into account all the circumstances here. (—In this case, it is best to go to Hisamatsu Sado's house in Akoju.)

He calculated in his mind. Hisamatsu Sado Mamoru's wife, Matsudaira Motoyasu's biological mother-Yu Dai.When Yuan Kang came to Retian as a hostage, she knelt on the ground, clutching Nobunaga's sleeve, and begged him to save Yuan Kang's life.Because of this level of kindness, the words spoken by his biological mother were more successful in persuading Yuan Kang and the veterans of the Songping family. "——Okazaki's strong soldiers must completely kill Owari under the order of Yoshimoto. In this way, His Highness Nobunaga will definitely resist with all his might, and the result will be that both parties will suffer great losses. Imakawa Yoshimoto is the only one who is happy to see this result. Therefore, even though we have come to Nobunaga's border, we must not fight this battle seriously!..."

Since I have met with Yu Da several times in the past, and Maeda Mataemon Toshiie is also a trustworthy person, so as long as he can explain the whole story clearly, it will definitely be able to give full play to the effect. (Oh! After all, His Highness is more thoughtful...) Although he thought so, did Maeda Mataemon really understand? ... If two people come to the same place by chance, the enemy's spies will definitely see through our plot. Wouldn't it be the biggest joke in the world?no!This error must not be allowed to happen. "I have to go early, tell Youzuo again."

The original plan was that Aichi Juami had to be killed in a duel with Maeda Mataemon, and that he had to be considered dead.Then the corpses of the criminals who were executed that day will be sent to the funeral parlor, and then carried out to be buried with Juami's corpse.He told this matter to Nobunaga's little bodyguard Mori Shinsuke, and after asking him for help, he waited for the night to come. That night, there was a bright moon in early spring hanging in the sky, and the surroundings were quiet, not even the sound of the wind blowing. Juami purposely arrived a quarter earlier than the agreed ten o'clock.When he arrived at the appointed place, he sat down and took out his flute to play.Because the moonlight was so beautiful, I was in a particularly good mood, so I walked around involuntarily.In order to let others see that it was him, he specially chose to wear the same pattern of clothes as usual, looking like a young girl, and he just started playing the flute early.

"—It should be time to come." In fact, he also wanted to let Mazaemon know that he had come. No!It's not just Matazaemon.If this is really a duel between two people, more people should witness it with their own eyes. This is the best.On the one hand, he was thinking so in his heart, and on the other hand, he played the flute happily. At last a dark figure came from among the iridescent trees. (Huh? Could it be that Mao Lixin helped him here? ... No! It's not just one person, it seems to be two people!) He moved the flute away from his mouth in surprise. "Who is that walking over there?"

He asked loudly at the other party. Finally, the other party also answered him aloud. "Tuami!" "Oh! So it's a dog! It seems that you are not alone!" "Exactly! There are four people including the shadows." "Stop talking nonsense, who is coming with you?" "It's Ah Song! My fiancée Ah Song!" "What? You... you... what are you talking about?" "I brought A Song with me!" Juami couldn't help holding his breath standing under the moonlight. It turned out that the girl standing next to Youzuo was his eleven-year-old fiancée.In the palace, she has always had the reputation of being smart, and in the eyes of Nong Ji, she is even more loved as her own daughter. "You dog is so stupid! What are you thinking? Are you really crazy? Where are you going to run away with your eleven-year-old bride?" "You don't have to ask! Don't you see everything clearly?" "Oh! Is this the dog's revenge? But then again, it often happens that dogs hate others just for shit, but anyway, you can't be so stupid! I really didn't expect you You will take a weak woman to walk along the Suruga River, I think you are really crazy!" At this time, Juami's poisonous tongue attacked Maeda again uncontrollably as usual, and this changed his own fate. Maybe Maeda is going to take Ah Song with him, and just run to Junfu, meet Yuan Kang directly, and explain the matter to him, this is also very possible! If that's what he meant, what's the difference from jumping into a fire pit?Because Yuan Kang has already been surrounded by Yi Yuan's eyes and ears, not to mention they guard Yuan Kang so closely. This means that even Yuan Kang's wife may also be Yi Yuan's spy. "This is really surprising! I, Chiju Ami, finally saw it today! Are you going to take that bitch with you?...A dog is a dog after all!" "What?" At this moment, the wild words between the two made it difficult to distinguish between the truth and the ambiguity. At this time, Mataemon pulled out the blade, which looked very cold under the moonlight.
