Chapter 42 Chapter 41: Owari Mourner

Takechiyo Matsudaira has been away from Owari for three years in a blink of an eye, and it is the spring of Astronomy's 20th year. In the room of Oda Nobunaga in Furuno Castle, the lord of the castle, Nobunaga, stared at the cherry blossoms in the courtyard, biting his fingernails thoughtfully, which was his habitual action when he fell into deep thought.Hirate Masahide advised him to quit this indecent habit, but he deliberately did so again and again. "What are you thinking?" Nohime asked from the side, "The cherry blossoms are just about to bloom." "If you open it, it will fall."

"This..." Nong Ji smiled softly, and said, "You always spoil the fun, making people unable to talk about it." "what?" "If it's windy and rainy, they will fall faster." Nobunaga gritted his teeth again, stared at Nohime, and suddenly said, "Do you still remember Takechiyo?" "Songping of Sanhe..." "Well. Now he should live in Sunfu. Takechiyo gave me a tricky gift." "Gift?" "The rock room." Nonghime remained silent, pretending to be ignorant, and walked aside.Whenever she thinks about this matter, Nonghime feels more uncomfortable than her husband.Iwamuro is Nobuhide's concubine.She is only eighteen years old and recently gave birth to a son for Shin-soo.Iwamuro is the daughter of Iwamuro Sunzaburo, the younger brother of Atsuta Kato Shusuke, and Nobuhide fell in love with her at first sight precisely because Takechiyo was arranged in the library house.Anxiang City fell, and Xinxiu went to the library to discuss the exchange of hostages, and happened to run into Iwamuro.Regarding the hostage exchange, Nobunaga ignored Nobunaga's suggestion, but he took Iwamuro, who was only sixteen at the time, as a side room.

Xinxiu was already forty-two years old at the time, but she was immersed in her favor for a sixteen-year-old girl and couldn't extricate herself.Led by the Iwamuro family, calls for the abolition of Nobunaga's succession gradually increased.But Nohime was not worried about these voices, but worried that Nobunaga would get angry and kill Iwamuro, and the gap between him and his father would surely deepen. "Ah Nong, it has to be like this." "What?" She pretended to be careless, but her heart suddenly tightened.Nobunaga's icy eyes showed that he had made up his mind... If Nobunaga's eyes were flaming, it didn't matter.But once a decision is made, his eyes will become cold.Nouhime knew this all too well. "What must it be?" She suppressed her anxiety and asked.

"If father is not driven out of Sumori City, Owari will be in chaos." Nobunaga's tone was firm and cold. The Lord of Mosen City is Nobunaga's younger brother Nobuyuki.Xinxiu let Iwamuro live in the inner courtyard of Mosen City on the grounds that Nobuyuki was unmarried, and she rarely went to Gudu City since then.If Nobunaga was going to persuade his father, of course Nohime had no objection.But Nobunaga's actions are often unexpected.What exactly is he trying to do? The words "throw out the father" are truly shocking. "Too many bastards have gathered near Suomori Castle recently, Hayashi Sado, Shibata Gonroku, Sakumaemon brothers, and Inuyama's Nobukiyo, etc. If you sit idly by and do nothing, there will be chaos." Nohime is very clear, Nobunaga mentioned These people are conspiring with Mrs. Iwamuro to abolish Nobunaga, and are constantly persuading Nobhide.They want to expel Nobunaga, and Li Xinhang will inherit the great cause.

"How do you persuade your father?" "Persuasion? Persuasion doesn't work at all." "you……" "Get rid of the rock room!" Nonghime turned pale.Nobunaga laughed. "Are you frightened? Your lips are trembling." Nohime's lips trembled. "I'm the number one bastard in Owari, and I'm competing with my father for my concubine. I'm sure no one will make a fuss." "You...do that..." "If it's someone else, he will definitely kill him. But if it's me, it's a different story." "That...is deliberately disrespecting my father..."

"Ah Nong, you are so long-winded!" "I am thinking of you." "It doesn't matter." Nobunaga waved his hand, "Listen. He has passed his forty years, but he is still obsessed with beauty, and he wants to provoke a fight between Nobuyuki and me. For the long-term plan of the family and the people, This kind of unreasonable person should be killed as soon as possible. I want to drive the rock room away, do you understand? I will just scold him, if he doesn't understand the reason, he will definitely shoot me." "Then what to do?" "War! In a war, the relationship between father and son is completely ignored. It's all for the great cause and the people. Do you understand? I'm leaving, bring my clothes!" Nobunaga stood up and fastened his belt neatly.But Nonghime didn't get up, she was very disturbed.

Nobunaga was about to leave, but Nohime grabbed his sleeve: "Young master, I can't deepen the misunderstanding of you. Please be more careful." Nobunaga's eyes widened, and he looked back at Nohime, who refused to let go. "It's hard for them to understand you now. If they attack you on the pretext that you deliberately provoked a dispute, it will be even more difficult for you." "Huh? Did I provoke a dispute on purpose?" "Yes. The concubine thinks that you took the initiative to sneak into the trap set up by others. They believe that you can't hold back. If...if others are prepared, what will the young master do?"

"Ah Nong! You are becoming more and more timid." "The concubine is thinking of you." "Don't you forget. You were ordered to kill me." "Young Master!" Nong Ji's voice was sharp, her eyebrows were erected, "Why did you say that...are you telling the truth?" "If it's the truth, are you going to do it?" "You shouldn't be like this. Once you lose your heart, you are a phoenix with its hair plucked." Nobunaga moved his lips, his eyes softened.Nong Ji, who is neither humble nor overbearing, and earnest, finally moved him. "Oh, that's not good?"

"Don't worry yet. Be calm." "Is this really bad?" Nobunaga repeated, and patted Nohime's shoulder lightly. "Hahaha. I didn't expect you to be so scared. In this way, I have more confidence. Ah Nong, don't worry. I am definitely not the kind of brave and foolish person who throws himself into the trap. I will not be fooled by the sixth ..." He laughed.For some reason, he always thought that the mastermind of this incident was Shibata Gonroku. "What I said about taking away the rock room was just a joke. I wanted to test your reaction. Get the clothes quickly! Quick!"

Nobunaga let go of Nobunaga with a sigh of relief.Although she was three years older than Nobunaga, she gradually forgot the gap and estrangement, and completely became Nobunaga's wife.However, she still believes that Nobunaga is naturally fond of teasing and sarcasm, and it is easy to make enemies inadvertently. Nohime fetched the clothes, and Nobunaga put them on neatly. "Inuchiyo, Ma!" he yelled down the corridor.Nouhime still didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't seem to want to take Mrs. Iwamuro away.Holding the knife in her hand, she led her husband to the gate of the inner court step by step.

"Don't worry." Nobunaga whispered, and rushed to the door like a wind. In front of the gate, Inuchiyo had already brought Nobunaga's beloved Lian Qianwei Maoju and his own mount.Hirate Masahide ordered Maeda Inuchiyo to be with Nobunaga at all times. When the elders and retainers saw Nobunaga, they ran out one after another, knelt down and saluted; Nobunaga didn't even look at him, and flew on his horse.Without saying a word to Inuchiyo, he stared at the spring sky for a moment and raised his whip.Maeda Inuchiyo hurriedly rode up to follow. After leaving the city gate, Nobunaga and Inuchiyo headed towards Benretian.Is it going to Gudu City, or to Mosen, where the lord and Mrs. Iwamuro live?Inuchiyo was puzzled.The cherry blossoms haven't bloomed yet, but the woods in Retian are dotted with wild plum and peach blossoms. "Young master!" Inuchiyo called. "Yes." Nobunaga replied, but did not slow down. "Where are you going?" "The Kato librarian helps the family." Inu Chiyo was very puzzled.Ever since Matsudaira Takechiyo left, Nobunaga had never visited the library assistant's mansion, why did he suddenly think of going there today?Soon, I saw the familiar door.Inu Chiyo hastily galloped past Nobunaga. "Open the door!" He yelled as he flew off his horse, "The young master of Furuno City is here, open the door." The door opened in response, and Nobunaga leaned on his horse and galloped in. Nobunaga's unexpected visit surprised everyone.The owner Kato Book Assistant frowned, full of doubts, hurried to the front of the steps to meet Nobunaga. "Book, go in!" Nobunaga said as he strode in. "Welcome to the young master." He said to himself, but his face was still puzzled, and he followed the letter chief to the hall. "Oh." Nobunaga stopped at the entrance of the hall, "The peach blossom decorations for Girls' Day are ready." "Ashamed, the little girl did it herself." "It's a flower arrangement. Has she entered the Tao?" "I'm not yet proficient, I haven't entered the Tao—" Nobunaga sat down on the head with his back to the flower arrangement. "When Takechiyo was here, I often came here... I have something to come here today." "The young master has something to look for... what is it?" "A woman's business—your niece." "My niece?" Shushu tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled. Nobunaga said indifferently: "It's the daughter of my younger brother Iwamuro Tsishei, what is her name Xue. I want it. Do you understand?" "Ah?" Shushu doubted his own ears, his niece married Xinxiu and had a child... He looked at Nobunaga in embarrassment, his lips twitched, "Young master is joking...Young master can really play tricks People. I thought my younger brother had another daughter." "I teased you?" "Yes. I am timid, the young master scared me to death." "You didn't understand me. What did I tease you for?" "What the hell is that..." "Have you betrothed her to someone else?" "You're joking again." "Book! I don't ask you to answer immediately today. You think about it for three days. In any case, I want to get her." "Little Lord!" "I'll come and get her in full gear. Do you understand?" The book suddenly faded.He suddenly understood Nobunaga's mind: Nobunaga wanted his father's concubine.But Mrs. Iwamuro is still an inexperienced woman after all.The book knows that she is favored by Xinxiu, and also heard that the anti-Nobunaga faction is plotting.Nobunaga, caught in the vortex of strife, is now coming to marry Mrs. Iwamuro, and even comes fully armed.No matter how stupid the book is, it can be understood, but this happened too suddenly. "Understood? I'll go back today and come back in three days." Before Shushu could react, Nobunaga got up and left, "Inuchiyo, let's go!" Outside the gate, Inuchiyo was waiting with two horses.He understood the young master's temperament better than Nong Ji. "The young master returns to the mansion!" He shouted towards the gate.When Nobunaga got on his horse, Inuchiyo was already on the horse.Nobunaga raised his whip, and the two rushed up the avenue of bright spring like the wind. "Little Lord!" "Oh!" "Where are you going now?" "Go and meet the woman who is in a trance." "A woman in a trance..." "You know a fart! Just follow me - go to Mosen City." "Momori..." Inuchiyo galloped his horse and muttered, "It's the woman in Momori who fascinated the Lord..." Seeing Inuchiyo's innocent appearance, Nobunaga laughed happily: "Iwamuro Son Saburo Jimori's daughter, named Ayuki, is just young. I want her to be my concubine." "what?" "Huh! I'm going to tell her my love. I'm starting to like women too. Hurry up! Hahahaha!" Inuchiyo was not as surprised as Nohime.Nobunaga, who is unexpected in everything, is very weird in the eyes of outsiders, but his personal attendant Inu Chiyo believes that there are often hidden secrets behind his weird behavior.Longing for his father's concubine sounds absurd, but Inuchiyo doesn't think it's Nobunaga's true words.So, what is Nobunaga thinking and why... Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy, but full of curiosity. It hadn't rained yet, but the gloomy clouds were getting lower and the day was getting muggier. Arriving outside the gate of Mosen City, one can faintly hear the sound of bells, chimes and bowls coming from inside the city.In order to prevent war, Nobuhide ordered Suomori Castle to be repaired, but that was just an excuse, because neither Mino nor Mikawa showed any signs of attacking Owari.In effect, he was building a residence for his young concubines. "Inuchiyo, they're busy." "Does the young master mean building a city?" "No. That's not building a city, they're building a tomb for their father." Inuchiyo was taken aback.At this time, Nobunaga cursed, stepped on the suspension bridge, and rode his horse into the city. "Ah! That young master of Furuno!" "What are you doing here at this time?" "Look at him, no wonder someone wants to change his heir." The craftsmen didn't have a good word to say, and the gatekeepers also looked at each other in blank dismay.Inuchiyo chased after him. "Inuchiyo, horse——" Nobunaga got off his horse outside the Inumen gate of the city, threw the reins to Inuchiyo, held a whip, and strode inside.The samurai on duty ran up to greet him in horror, but Nobunaga didn't respond and just rushed in. "Young master..." Upon receiving the news, a person came out in a panic and stood in front of Nobunaga. It was Shibata Gonrokuro Katsuie who was appointed by Kanjuro Nobuyuki as the old man of the Suesorijo family. "Mr. Kanjuro just went out for inspection, and he is not in the city now. Please, young master, rest in the academy for now." "Quanliu! Who said you're looking for Nobuyuki?" "Then you want to see the lord? The lord has gone to Gudu—" "I know!" Nobunaga patted his clothes with a whip, and jokingly stretched his neck, "Quan Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days, you seem to have become a big shot." "Young master, you are making fun of me again..." "No, it's not a trick. I heard you spread rumors that I'm going to marry my sister..." Quan Liu, who knew Nobunaga's temper, blushed and took a step back. "When I heard this, I was very happy. You are worthy of being the pillar of my Oda clan." "Young master, please pay attention to this occasion... everyone will laugh at you." "Laugh... probably no one in this city would dare to laugh at my Nobunaga's gratitude to you. Right, Quan Liu?" "yes." "You also know that I have many brothers and sisters. In addition to ten brothers and thirteen sisters, I heard that I have another brother." "Yes, it's Twelve Sons and Young Master Jujuro." Nobunaga waved his hand impatiently and said: "I don't ask about that trouble! There are so many brothers and sisters, and I will have a lot of troubles if I lead the heir. Thanks to your understanding of my difficulties, I have to appoint another person to relieve my troubles. You Your loyalty is really invaluable, hum!" Shibata Quanroku's flushed face gradually lost its color.Nobunaga seems to have known that Nobuhide rejected Tachikanjuro Nobuo's proposal to act as an heir. "I have tears in my eyes for this, and I will never forget your loyalty in my life." "Little Lord!" "Listen. I heard that my father rejected your proposal. I feel sorry for you. Even your words of loyalty are not understood, and my father is too ruthless. Even though he is my biological father, I also feel sorry for you... ...But, Quan Liu!" "Yes Yes." "If I were you, I would never stop here. No matter how loyal you are, if you stop here, you are not a real man." Quan Liu no longer knew how to answer.He knew what Nobunaga wanted to say, and felt that Nobunaga and Nobuhide seemed to be at odds. "If it were me, I would do the opposite. If I were you, I would encourage Xinxing to let their brothers kill each other." "Young master... please be careful with your words..." "Listen! There are so many brothers. If you join hands, you will be invincible. But if you let brothers kill each other, you can imagine the result. They will fall one by one. The only worry is their father ...But my father also has a fatal weakness, that is, he likes women. Give him a woman and let him hide in the city with a woman. Haha, in this way, Owari will become your possession... Quan Liu, if I were you, why wouldn't I act like this?" "Little Lord!" "You didn't even do this, you are such a loyal minister. Remember, I—" Nobunaga turned around abruptly and left. "Young master! That's the inner court." "I know! I'm going to the inner court!" "Please wait a moment... I... I will report first..." "You are worried about a bird! I have something to do in the inner court." "If there is something, I will go for the young master. May I ask the young master what's the matter..." Quan Liu shouted and chased after him. Nobunaga suddenly lashed out with a whip, "Bastard! I'm going to see that woman. Get lost." "woman……" "Mrs. Iwamuro." Nobunaga laughed, and quickly disappeared into the inner court. Xinxiu has gone to Gudu City, where he hasn't returned for a long time, and is not in the inner court.Mrs. Iwamuro took the newborn baby from the nurse. "Matajuro, smile." She teased the child. This is the twelfth son of Oda Nobuhide, and Mrs. Iwamuro feels incredible about it.In fact, even she herself couldn't believe the sudden change in the past two or three years.She was born in a staid family that served the gods, and she didn't even notice her beauty until she married Shin-soo as a concubine.She used to read Liange to Xinxiu at her uncle's house and gave fruit to her.But she was only in her teens at that time, so she didn't attract Xinxiu's attention at all.She only heard that her uncle had a singing friend who was the Lord of Gudu City, and she was proud of it, other than that, she had no special memory. But because of the relationship between his uncle and Lord Nobuhide, Matsudaira Takechiyo of Mikawa was sent to the home of a librarian by Shinhide.At that time, she was only interested in the children of famous families, but she didn't intend to get close to them, and she didn't even think about being able to get close to them.She often sees a boy with rough behavior and frequent frowning come to visit Takechiyo.When the boy was growing up, he often hung something around his waist, and sometimes came over while chewing rice balls on a horse, and then ate balls with Takechiyo, and after eating, he urinated at the end of the corridor, sometimes spitting out melon seed shells roughly . Soon, Takechiyo left, and the boy didn't come anymore.Just when Takechiyo went back, she met Xinxiu who often visited and discussed matters with her uncle.Later, she was taken to Gudu City.But because of the jealousy of the other two concubines there, he moved to Mosen soon.When she knew that the rough boy was actually his heir Nobunaga, Fang was shocked and couldn't believe it. The boy's posture and movements aroused beautiful fantasies in the girl's heart.Is he really the young master?But since moving to Mosen, she met a boy who was just like the boy in her fantasy.A handsome face, thoughtful etiquette, gorgeous clothes, decent manners, and very considerate to his retainers.It was Nobuyuki, the younger brother of that rough boy.Since there is such an outstanding son, why should he let that ugly man be his heir?She couldn't figure it out. She has no ambitions, always smiles, and is only disturbed that the child she gave birth to should be the son of the lord.She kissed the baby again. "The young master is here!" The retainer's voice came from next to his ear, and Mrs. Iwamuro heard it clearly. "Ms. Iwamuro?" A man's rough voice came from the corridor. Mrs. Iwamuro raised her face and turned to her nurse, "Who is it?" That person's voice is very similar to Shin-soo's.But when Xinxiu, who had passed her forties, came to the inner court, she never had such a rough voice.Is there something bothering him? "Where is Mrs. Iwamuro?" The voice got closer and closer, and there was also the sound of the partition being pulled open. "Hold him..." Mrs. Iwamuro said.The nurse reached out to take the baby. "That man seems to be drunk. What's going on?" Madam wondered.At this time, the partition was pulled open.For a moment, Iwamuro's eyes widened.Because of fright, she opened her small mouth and did not close it for a while. "Ha, you are Iwamuro Son Saburo's daughter?" Nobunaga stood up straight and looked at Mrs. Iwamuro, "Do you remember me?" "That Mr. Nobunaga of Furuno..." "Yes. It's me. The first time I saw you was at the home of Kato's library assistant in Atsuta." Mrs. Iwamuro couldn't help doubting her ears.She didn't know whether Nobunaga was talking about the first time the two of them met...or the first time Nobunaga saw her. "Do you understand a man's heart?" "..." "Why are you in a daze? Okay! I'll sit down. You sit down too." "Yes Yes." "You are trembling a little. Don't be restrained. I will never abandon a slut. You can answer my questions with confidence." Mrs. Iwamuro sat down quietly.Facing Nobunaga's loud voice, she was powerless to fight back.She had heard that Nobunaga was not only rude but also thoughtless.If he recklessly said something inappropriate to her, how would she respond? "you!" "Young master...Young master." The nurse's voice trembled and she lowered her head. "I really don't understand the rules. Get out! If you slow down, I'll kill you!" Nobunaga shook the knife in his waist violently, and the wet nurse escaped like a bereaved dog. Nobunaga said: "Okay, Mrs. Iwamuro." "Little Lord." "There is no one else in the room. Tell me clearly, do you understand a man's mind?" Mrs. Iwamuro put her hands on the ground. "Ming...understood." She replied blankly. "Oh? Then I'm relieved. Haha!" Nobunaga suddenly laughed wildly. "No matter what others say, I will have you." "..." "You like it or hate it, I don't care." "..." "I met your uncle beforehand." "My uncle..." "Yes. Your uncle was very unhappy, but I made my purpose clear to him." "Young master... that... that's ridiculous." "Wait! I haven't finished talking yet. You can answer after I finish. I have made up my mind that no matter what others say, I will not shrink back. If you have someone in mind, I will kill him, whether he is Shibata Gonroku or Sakumaemon." Mrs. Iwamuro looked into Nobunaga's eyes in horror.Those were indeed not ordinary people's eyes, emitting a crazy and fierce light.Iwamuro trembled unconsciously.Nobunaga seemed to be planning to catch her, and this premonition made her terrified. "Listen carefully. This is the love of a man. Even if my silly brother Nobuyuki likes you, I won't let him go. It's not even my father!" "what?" "Answer me, do you want me to fight them, or follow me?" Mrs. Iwamuro kept backing away, terrified.She wanted to speak, but her numb lips could not be opened.She had even forgotten her call sign, and she had forgotten to run away.She only thought that she would be killed, and looked at Nobunaga in a daze. "Hahaha..." the letter head laughed. Mrs. Iwamuro closed her eyes in a daze.What would happen after laughing, she couldn't predict at all... When she was in extreme despair, she suddenly heard a thunder above her head. "Three days later!" Nobunaga said, "I'll listen to your reply. You have thought carefully." She suddenly limp on the ground, vaguely felt the partition door opened, and then closed again heavily.The footsteps hurried away... Someone approached: "Ma'am! Wake up, wake up..." She woke up, and the nurse was supporting her, when she heard a baby crying again. "Ma'am, wake up... wake up..." "Oh!" Mrs. Iwamuro looked at Matjuro who was thrown on the tatami, paralyzed in the arms of the wet nurse, "Nobunaga... where is your master?" "He went back, coming and going like the wind." "It's terrible! It's terrible!" "Wake up." "Ah, how terrible..." Iwamuro snuggled up to the nurse like a bird, trembling all over. When Xinxiu returned from the ancient ferry, the sun was about to set.Shibata Gonroku hurriedly reported to him about Nobunaga's coming to Sumori Castle. After hearing this, Nobunaga, who had recently gained weight, let out a faint "oh" and entered the inner court. How could Nobunaga understand his father's thoughts!Nobuhide knows better than anyone else the infighting within the Oda clan, and the anti-Nobunaga crowd is already ready to move.At the beginning, Xinxiu didn't take it seriously, but the momentum became bigger and bigger.Now, even Nobunaga and Nobuyuki's biological mother Mrs. Tsuchida, who are in Furuno, have begun to support Nobuyuki.Now only Xinxiu himself is left with the idea of ​​peaceful Tesei-hide, and he is still standing up for the long-term success of Xinxiu.Even Hayashi Sado, one of the elders of the four families responsible for training Nobunaga, unknowingly turned to Nobuyuki. After returning to Mrs. Iwamuro's room and getting dressed, Shinsu gloomily started to drink.Like a coquettish girl, Mrs. Iwamuro told Xinxiu everything about the day.Xin Xiushan nodded with a wry smile. "Oh, this Nobunaga... what do you think?" Mrs. Iwamuro seemed extremely dissatisfied.She thought Shin-soo would throw a tantrum after hearing this. "What did the adults say should be done?" "Since he is so infatuated with you, you should go to Furuno City." "grown ups!" Xinxiu drank the wine silently and sighed. "grown ups!" "Ok?" "Nobunaga-sama is terrible. That will only distract everyone." "Oh?" "Young Master Xinxing is being supported by more and more people." "Someone secretly slandered Nobunaga..." "After Mr. Nobunaga went back, Mr. Nobunaga specially sent someone to comfort the concubine." "Oh." "My lord! Shibata-sama and Sakuma-sama both say that Mr. Nobunaga is doing something wrong on purpose." "Oh." "He understands this truth, but he still said that he would not hesitate to fight the Lord, can the Lord be so magnanimous and rebellious?" Xinxiu was silent again.The temperature began to drop during the day, and if this continues, there may be snow tonight.The cold spring is expected to be cold, and wars are destined to be frequent.Is this year also eventful?At around 4:00 pm, Xinxiu finally put down his wine glass. "It's going to war again. Rest." He looked at Mrs. Iwamuro.She wears heavy makeup, and her delicate face is full of charming colors. "yes." The two embraced and entered the bedroom. "This ignorant little girl." Xinxiu looked at Mrs. Iwamuro beside her.Although she was frightened like that by Nobunaga, after sleeping beside Nobunsu, she completely regained her composure.She just waits for Xinxiu every day.She didn't yet know jealousy and hatred, nor family strife.Only because she is closest to Xinxiu, she is used by various forces. "Iwamuro, do you know why I only get close to you?" "Did you know." "You are still naive, you don't understand the difficulties of the world!" "yes." "I have twenty-five children. When I am with their mothers, I hear curses, jealousy..." "Ok." "There are already too many wars to cause headaches... I am tired of fighting for years. Fortunately, Mino and Suruga will not attack again for the time being... But who can predict what will happen in the future, there will be no external worries , but caused internal troubles..." Xinxiu habitually placed one arm under Mrs. Iwamuro's soft shoulders.Iwamuro was like a well-behaved kitten, with his face pressed tightly against Nobutsu's broad chest, breathing evenly. "Once something happens, I must return to Gudu City." "At that time... please take my concubine with you, sir." "Can you bear life there?" "You mean... Mr. Nobunaga?" "It's not Nobunaga. It's the eyes and mouths of many, many women." "I am not afraid. I have adults by my side." "The rock room." "Ok." "If there is a war, I can no longer stay by your side." "grown ups?" "If an accident happens to me, you will go to Nobunaga, and Hugh will go to Nobuyuki. Understand?" "Why... why? The concubine thinks that faith and deeds are more modest." "Yes, Nobuyoshi is humble and courteous to everyone. This kind of people are useless in an emergency. They will be used by others and panic. Although Nobunaga teased you, he was actually admonishing me. He did that Telling you is equivalent to telling me, don’t be negligent, causing chaos in the family, and everyone staring at me.” "what……" Mrs. Iwamuro was still confused.But Xinxiu became silent for a long time.Mrs. Iwamuro hesitated to speak, if she spoke first, she would definitely mention Nobunaga. She couldn't erase her evil thoughts towards Nobunaga.In fact, behind her thoughts, Nobuyuki, Quanroku and Youemon's feelings and disgust towards Nobunaga are hidden.If Nobunaga inherits the family business, the Oda family will fall apart immediately. How can he be as prestigious as his father?In addition, Kiyosu, Iwakura, and Inuyama are entrenched in the Oda clan, while Nobunaga's biological mother, Mrs. Tsuchida's natal family, Tsuchida Shimoso, Shen Anyi, Tsuzuki Tibetan, Yamaguchi Samasuke, etc., are all dissatisfied with Nobunaga.She even heard that Nobunaga's brother-in-law, Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama, swore that once Nobunaga died, he would attack Furuno Castle immediately. Why did your lord entrust the great cause to such a person?Mrs. Iwamuro felt that Nobuhide would realize his mistake sooner or later, and he would wake up soon... The sound of Uchiji's striker was heard, and the sound echoed in the silent city.Xinxiu, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, suddenly murmured: "Iwamuro..." Mrs. Iwamuro didn't care. "Oh, it's so cold..." She leaned towards Xinxiu. "Nobunaga..." Nobunaga said again. "What did you say, my lord?" "Ah, ah, ah..." "My lord, are you dreaming?" "Iwamuro... I'm going back... I'm going back." "Where are you going back, sir?" "Gudu... the city..." "what?" "You call them...Shibata Gonroku...Sakuma..." Iwamuro realized that Nobuhide's voice was wrong, and hurriedly lifted the quilt, "My lord! What...why do you feel uncomfortable?" "Oh!" When the quilt was lifted, Xinxiu stopped trembling, but his fingers spasmed, he scratched his fat neck, and scratched the back of his head violently.Mrs. Iwamuro panicked suddenly. "Come here!" Madame Iwamuro yelled, wanting to run out, Xinxiu grabbed her lapel.He struggled, his lips became stiff, and he began to foam at the mouth, panting, "Nobunaga...don't be disturbed...Hui Gudu...Hui Gudu..." "My lord!" Iwamuro sat down beside the pillow.She sensed the seriousness of the situation.There should be no poison in the wine and food. Could it be that Xinxiu's death is coming? "My lord! You will be fine..." The incident was so sudden that Mrs. Iwamuro didn't even have time to cry. But she vaguely guessed what Xinxiu was thinking and wanted to say to her.Obviously, Xinxiu didn't want to die in Mosen City.He wanted to rush back to Gudu and explain the funeral to Nobunaga; moreover, if the news of his death was announced immediately, it would definitely cause chaos. "Xiang Xinchang..." Xinxiu said again.But at this moment, his pupils had dilated, the light gradually faded, and his hands were hanging down feebly, drooping on Iwamura's chest.Mrs. Iwamuro felt even more ominous when she saw Nobuhide's strong chest heaving violently. "Yan... Yan..." At this moment, Xinxiu curled up, and suddenly grabbed the rattan on the tatami with his right hand, and vomited wantonly, and what he vomited was black blood clots. Iwamuro hurriedly hugged Xinxiu: "My lord! You have to hold on..." Xinxiu was trembling all over, forty-two springs and autumns, leaving behind infinite regrets.His deep sigh was quickly replaced by heavy gasps. "My lord! My lord!" Iwamuro shook Xinxiu's body frantically, crying bitterly. When Shibata Gonroku and Sakumaemon arrived, the wet nurse and several maids had already cleaned up the vomit, and covered Nobuhide, who was getting weaker and weaker, with a white quilt. "My lord! My lord!" Quan Liu called out.Xinxiu's breathing was still heavy, and the corners of her mouth twitched in pain from time to time. "Who's going to Furuno and Furuto—" Sakumaemon said to Kanjuro Nobuyuki who hurried over, and Gonroku looked at each other, "Bring paper and pen." He ordered Kanjuro's servants.The servants brought inkstones and paper.Quan Liu forcibly stuffed the pen and paper into Mrs. Iwamuro whose mind was already in confusion. "Last words! Come on, let me ask, you remember." He ordered sharply. "My lord, last words..." Mrs. Iwamuro took the pen and paper blankly, and Shibata Gonroku put his ear to Nobuhide's mouth.Shinsuke was still moaning rough. "What? What did you say? Changed Mr. Kanjuro as heir. I understand..." Quan Liu turned to Mrs. Iwamuro: "Hurry up, are you ready? First, pass on the position of family governor to Kanjuro Nobuyuki .Write it down quickly." At this time, Nobuyuki and Sakumaemon had already left, leaving only the dying Nobuhide, Quanroku and Mrs. Iwamuro in the house. "Why not write it? This is the Lord's last words!" Under Quan Liu's stern urging, Mrs. Iwamuro woke up suddenly.Xinxiu also clearly stated at night that he would hand over the family business to Nobunaga.Moreover, Xinxiu seems to have predicted today's situation, and warned her that if something happens, don't trust Nobuyoshi, but rely on Nobunaga. "Why don't you write?" Quan Liu urged again. "Can't write. My lord didn't say anything." "what?" Quan Liuliang stared at Mrs. Yanmuro in surprise, as if he wanted to eat her. "Don't you doubt my ears? My lord did say that...you should have heard it very clearly. Write quickly! Don't you think about Mr. Matjuro? Don't you fear Nobunaga?" Mrs. Iwamuro trembled.Shibata Gonroku has never been so terrible and despicable as he is today.Isn't this all a big conspiracy?They obviously set up a poisonous plan from the beginning!Mrs. Iwamuro suddenly threw the pen onto the tatami.She is suddenly impulsive and wants to die with Xinxiu.At this moment, Xinxiu moaned loudly, and convulsed violently again. "Hey!" Quan Liu hugged Xinxiu in a panic. "My lord! My lord!" He called twice, and then threw Xinxiu roughly.Against Saito of Mino, Matsudaira of Mikawa, and Kitabata (zai) of Ise, and fought for decades for this, Oda Tan Masao Tadanobuhide left infinite regrets, and his soul returned to the underworld. ten years. When it was dawn, the doctors came, and then the important ministers arrived in Mosen City one after another.Nobuhide's body was moved to the hall of Honjo.The rumor that Xinxiu died while sharing the bed with his eighteen-year-old concubine made everyone smile wryly to themselves. It was bright.Although it has entered the early spring when the cherry blossoms are about to bloom, a layer of frost has fallen on the ground.Life is like falling flowers...
