Chapter 43 Chapter 42: Frantic Sacrifice to Father

Hearing his father's sudden death, Oda Nobunaga kicked off the futon and sat up.Nong Ji also turned pale in an instant, and was at a loss for a moment.But she was worthy of being Saito Dosan's daughter, she immediately got up and dressed, and took the small-sleeved kimono and small clothes to Nobunaga's pillow.Nobunaga took a look and agreed in his heart.That's not mourning.She was hinting to him that he should keep it secret. "Ah Nong!" "Hurry up and change your clothes." "Don't worry. The man is dead." Nohime folded her hands silently.When she opened her eyes, she found that Nobunaga's eyes were streaming with tears, "Life is only fifty years...but he passed away eight years earlier."

Nong Ji suddenly felt the grief in her heart, and couldn't help choking up in a low voice. "Ah Nong!" "Ok." "Don't cry. Compared with Mikawa's Takechiyo, I have enjoyed more than ten years of my father's favor..." "yes." "Get dressed." Nohime held back her sobs and helped Nobunaga get dressed.Nobunaga was still in his thoughts.Although Takechiyo is lonely and hostage, Okazaki is united as one.The Oda family's external troubles ceased, but internal troubles raged.The world will say that this is Nobunaga's own fault.In fact, no one can understand Nobunaga's helpless state of mind when he wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

After putting on the hakama belt, Nobunaga patted his stomach hard and said "Okay". He must have thought about how to face his father's sudden death.Nohime took the big sword from the knife holder and handed it to Nobunaga. "Ah Nong," Nobunaga smiled, but immediately shed tears, "I won't let you see Oda Nobunaga cry a second time. Don't joke." "Yes Yes." "My father left me a great inheritance. Do you know what it is?" Nonghime shook his head. "He understood me at the end. He said that only I can realize his unfinished ambition... He believed me."

"My father's ambition?" "You will understand right away. What is the protection of Owari One Country? There are bigger things waiting to be done than revitalizing the Oda clan!" Nohime suddenly remembered that Nobuhide had also said these words to Hirate Masahide. "As long as there are subordinates by the young master's side, the Oda clan will never be defeated." Hirate Masahide said to Nobuhide when they were discussing the issue of successors.Xinxiu said with a smile at the time: "If the Oda family is defeated, there is nothing we can do. But if you can assist him, thousands of miles of land and mountains will be free for him to gallop on horseback."

"I leave everything at home to you." After Nobunaga finished speaking, he walked out of the bedroom quickly. "The young master is here!" There was an uproar in the seat.How on earth did this notorious young man control the situation?Or, how would he insult and taunt important ministers?Everyone waited with great interest, gloating over misfortune filled the hall. Nobunaga's sisters and Mrs. Tsuchida have not been seen yet. On the surface, Nobunaga, who is seriously ill, summons important ministers to discuss the funeral.In addition to Hirate, Hayashi, Aoyama, and Naito, the four elders, Oda Genboyun, Kankai Yuzaemon, and Sake Brewery were also present.The retainers of Sakuma, Shibata, Hirata, Yamaguchi, Jinbo and Tsuzuki were all there.Among Nobunaga's brothers, only Nobuhiro and Nobuyuki were seen.Nobunaga's sister-in-law Nobukiyoshi also rushed over from Inuyama Castle.

"Young Master, this way please." Seeing Nobunaga, Hirate Masahide waved for Nobunaga to sit on top of Nobunaga. Nobunaga ignored the tie, strode to his father, bent down, and put his hand on Nobunashi's forehead. "Young Master!" Seeing Nobunaga's absurd behavior, Hirate Masahide and Hayashi Sado exclaimed almost in unison.But Nobunaga ignored it. "He's cold!" he said to himself, but his voice was so loud that the whole house could hear him. "Rebirth in Paradise. Why don't you make the pillow face north? Why don't you offer flowers and incense?"

"Little Lord!" "Not yet mourned." "Hmph!" Nobunaga rolled his eyes, "Just leave a dead person like this? Listen. Immediately transport the body back to Gudu City." "Mr. Nobunaga." Inuyama's Nobukiyo looked at Nobunaga with a sad expression, and said, "Please sit down first. The timing of the funeral is very important." Nobunaga sat down cross-legged, "Why?" "Now there is Imagawa in the east, Zai in the west, and Saito in the north, all watching us all the time. I have no objection to transporting the Lord back to Gudu City, but if we go back here, should we go back in a sedan chair as if nothing had happened?"

Nobunaga waved his hand and said, "No need." "What do you mean?" "How can that kind of cleverness fool the enemy?" "Brother." Nobuyuki moved forward, "It is rumored that my father went there when he was sharing the bed with Mrs. Iwamuro, don't you feel embarrassed? Is that in line with filial piety?" "Nobuyuki! The samurai did not die on the battlefield, but was reborn on the tatami mats in the Paradise of Paradise... What a rare blessing. Sharing the same bed with his concubine added glory to his father's death. Those who laughed at his father It's too late for the guy to envy you. How could father like your kind of filial piety?"

"Young Master!" Hirate Masahide couldn't bear it anymore and tugged on Nobunaga's sleeve. "Actually..." A voice came from the last seat, "My lord has a last word, and no matter what, I must announce it to everyone here." "Last words?" People looked at the person who said it in unison.The speaker is Shibata Gonroku.Quan Liu took out a small package from his pocket with a strange expression. "Well, last words? Bring them up." Nobunaga's voice was calm, with a kind of deterrent power. Quan Liu hesitated.He thought Nobunaga would panic.The suicide note was of course forged.Nobuhide left no last words, and Mrs. Iwamuro did not write any words.Quan Liu originally thought that he only had to read it out to everyone... Due to the disgust of the ministers towards Nobunaga, just reading the forged suicide note was enough to achieve the goal of abolishing Nobunaga.And the angrier Nobunaga is, the better it is for the Nobunaga faction.If Nobunaga doubts the last words indiscriminately, everyone will doubt Nobunaga's character even more: such a person, can he be worthy of great responsibility?

"Huh? There is a suicide note... that's great." Nobunaga said, "I'll read it to everyone, bring it!" Nobunaga urged quietly.Quan Liu stood up involuntarily. Nobunaga took the suicide note from Quan Liu's hand, first touched his forehead twice, and then put it directly into his pocket. "Before reading the suicide note, I want to ask about my father's deathbed. Nobuyuki, were you there?" "Present." Nobuyuki replied, "When I passed by, Father was still awake..." "Oh." Nobunaga waved his hand to stop Nobuyuki, "What an unfilial son."

"Why did brother say such a thing?" "Since you're awake, why don't you move your father here immediately? Didn't you just say that your father died when he slept with Iwamuro? ... and you're worried about being laughed at by the world!" "This... I said it." "Nobuyuki, are you fooling me? If you really died beside your concubine, the world would just laugh at it. But your father is still awake, but you didn't move him out of the bedroom on purpose, letting him be ridiculed by the world... in the end What's on your mind?" "This..." Shibata Gonroku couldn't bear it anymore and spoke. Nobunaga smiled and shook his hand, "I understand your loyalty. You stay well. Nobunaga!" "Brother." "Quan Liu said that this suicide note is the father's last words recorded by Iwamuro, are you sure?" "Ah... this... I wasn't there at the time." "You don't know? If you don't know, you can believe it? Okay! I understand. Since you met your father when he was still alive, he didn't ask you to write the suicide note, but asked a woman to write it. It's no wonder that it's not credible. This suicide note was written by I'll keep it. Quan Liu!" "exist." "Just to be on the safe side, I have one more question to ask you." Nobunaga smiled ironically. Quan Liu suddenly felt his hair stand on end.Xinchang is not as simple as he imagined.If you continue to entangle with the suicide note at this time, Nobunaga will wave his hands impatiently and say: "I know, I got it. Because of your stupid loyalty, you were deceived by a woman." If Nobunaga called Mrs. Iwamuro to confront, the matter would be resolved worse. "For the sake of caution? You mean..." Quan Liu was sweating under his armpits, and he looked at Nobunaga anxiously. "Nothing else, it's just a funeral... If you don't cover up the funeral directly, maybe someone will deceive me, Nobunaga, and lead the army to attack Owari. Who do you think that person might be?" "Ah, this..." "I don't know? Hahaha. Think about it carefully. Who is it?" Quan Liu blushed.Not only him, but also Nobuyuki froze there like a stone sculpture.Nobuki from Inuyama Castle, Hayashi Sado and the others all looked embarrassed. "Hmph!" Nobunaga laughed again, "My heart is as clear as a mirror. Although Nobunaga is known as the number one fool in Owari, this fool has already seen through the tricks of those people. Don't worry." "yes." "Quan Liu, I was born not the kind of cowardly person who would be bullied by others, and I am not an ignorant person. As long as someone dares to make a move, I will take his dog's life without mercy. You can safely move the body to Gudu. Get ready for the funeral now." Hirate Masahide, who had kept his eyes closed before, suddenly interjected: "Wait a minute...Young Master... No, from today, from now on, you are no longer the Young Master, but the Master. Since the Master ordered so, I also think that , Everything is prepared. The funeral must be held, so it is better to prepare immediately and make arrangements for the aftermath, so as to avoid the world's discussion and slander. What do you think?" He quietly glanced at everyone present.Nobunaga also stared at everyone sharply. Naito Katsusuke finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Since it is the master's order, you must obey it." "Yes." Aoyama and Sanzaemon also nodded. Three of the four elders have already agreed, Xinxing saw the opportunity, so he also said to Nobunaga: "I think brother's opinion is feasible." Nobunaga rolled his eyes and snorted secretly.Nobuyuki's cowardice made him unbearable.Although she is pleasing to the eye, but she has no independent opinion on everything, no ability, and ambition? "Then, transport the ancestor's body back to Gudu immediately. Prepare for the funeral." Hirate Masahide said quietly. With strong dissatisfaction with Nobunaga, the Oda clan's retainers began to prepare for Nobunaga's funeral. The time is set on the seventh day of March in the 21st year of Tianwen. The cemetery is the Wansong Temple in Guiyue Mountain, Naguye Village, which Xinxiu personally made a wish to build eleven years ago. However, Nobunaga, the new successor and superintendent, barely participated in the preparations.Lin Sado and the Peacekeepers guessed each other's thoughts and tried their best to cover up their surprises. They agreed on the smooth holding of the funeral. In addition to Shibata Gonroku, Sakumaemon and his younger brother Shichirozaemon, Hayashi Sado, Sakuma University, Yamaguchi Samasuke, and Tsuzuki Tibetan, Nobunaga's uncle Tsuchida Shimosou, sister-in-law Shen Ange, Oda Nobukiyo, They all claim that Nobunaga will be the chief culprit leading to the downfall of the Oda Clan. "If after the funeral, these people rebel together..." Thinking of this, Nobunaga's heart ached.The reason why he wanted his father to leave Mrs. Yanshi and return to Gudu as soon as possible was precisely because of these worries.The Imagawa family refurbished their military equipment and sharpened their knives.Nobunaga found that Narumi Castle Master Yamaguchi Sa Masuke and his son had shown signs of collaborating with the enemy.Anxiang City was taken back by Imagawa, and Sakurai also fell into the enemy's hands.Famous generals of the Imagawa clan, such as Katsuyama Bitchu Morimoto, Okabe Gorobei Motonobu, Miura Sasuke Yoshijo, Iio Toyomae Morihisa, Asai Koshiro Masatoshi, etc., are constantly building fortifications opposite Narumi Castle.Therefore, if the death of their father caused internal chaos in the Oda clan, they would definitely take this opportunity to send troops to Owari.Nobunaga is confident that he can still deal with them.But in this way, Nohime's father Saito Dozo will inevitably take advantage of the void. afternoon of the sixth. "Ah Nong, Dao—" Nobunaga who had been lying down suddenly jumped up.Nohime was taken aback, and took off the long knife from the knife holder and handed it to Nobunaga. "Ah Nong!" "grown ups." "From now on, Nobunaga will cut through the confusion." In a blink of an eye, he had already jumped into the courtyard.But he didn't pull out the knife, he just opened his eyes angrily, staring at the sky. Nobhime understands Nobunaga's pain.If Imakawa and Saito take advantage of the civil strife in Oda to stir up trouble, Nobunaga will have no place to stand no matter which of them wins or loses.By that time, Oda Kami Sosuke Nobunaga, who is only nineteen years old, will probably become an outcast in troubled times just like Matsudaira Takechiyo. "Ah!" The sword was unsheathed.Under the gray sky, the cherry blossom trees in full bloom trembled slightly. the next day. The cherry blossoms in Wansong Temple are in full bloom.Nonghime hurried past under the cherry tree with a heavy heart.Nobunaga picked up his long knife yesterday afternoon and left without a trace until this morning.He was probably going to Gudu City to attend the final meeting, and Nong Ji felt a little regretful that he could not personally put on Nobunaga's mourning clothes.Not only was she regretful, but she was also wondering if her father would come... He would pretend to come as a condolence, but in fact he was eyeing the Oda clan.Of course Nohime misses her father very much, but she also loves her husband very much now, but the two of them are incompatible... Nobuhide's confidant, Gomi Shinzo, saw Nonghime, and said loudly, "Mrs. Nong is here!" The tribe has gathered in the main hall.Nohime twisted her hand beads nervously, and was led behind Nobunaga's seat.Nobunaga's seat was still vacant, and Kanjuro Nobuyuki next to him was wearing a brand new mourning dress, and respectfully greeted Nohime.After Nong Ji returned the salute, she just sat down. Next to Nobuyuki was Nobuhide's third son, Kijuro, followed by a three-year-old Miss Oichi.Both of them and Nobunaga were born to Mrs. Tsuchida, the main wife. Sitting at the bottom of Ashi is the half-brother Saburo Goro Nobuhiro who was once the lord of Anxiang City.After him, according to age, there will be Xinbao, Kizo, Hikoshichiro, Hankuro, Juromaru, Gengoro, and finally the infant Matajuro, who is babbling and clenching his small fists in Mrs. Iwamuro's arms.Behind this line of people, besides Nohime and Mrs. Tsuchida, were Nobuhide's twelve daughters.The third column is Shinsu's side room.There are so many young children, which makes people feel sad, but there are so many women, it makes people feel like a bunch of flowers.Nonghime lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.Such a grand funeral seems to hide a lot of hatred and suspicion. On the seats next to the bereaved family sat Oda Hikogoro, the lord of the Qingzhou clan, and Shiba Yoshitomo, the suzerain of the Oda clan... Although he was born in a famous family, he has become a customer of Qingzhou because of his loss of power.They all have serious faces and are always ready to attack.After them, are the important ministers who are sitting upright. The little monk lit a candle and smoked it.Soon, the abbot, Monk Dayun, came out. Behind him were monks gathered from all over the place.There are more than four hundred people.With such a grand funeral held in the temple he vowed to build, can Xinxiu really achieve a positive result?Candlelight illuminates the white wooden tablet standing on the front: Wansongyuan Taoyan Road sees the Great Zen Dingmen.The solemn chanting sounded in the spacious main hall full of people. Nonghime was absent-minded.The chanting had already begun, but Nobunaga's seat was empty.Is there any accident?Thinking about it, she couldn't help being afraid.Hirate Masahide bent over and carefully leaned towards her, Nohime shuddered. Zhengxiu looked around cautiously, and then asked anxiously in Nongji's ear, "Did the lord leave the city with his wife?" Noonghime didn't know how to answer: "Master... yesterday afternoon... after going out..." Zhengxiu suddenly lost color.But he had experience after all, so he quietly returned to his seat without asking any more questions.Hearing Zhengxiu's tone, Nobunaga was not with the elders, Noonghime felt that something had happened, was something wrong with her body, or was she imprisoned somewhere?For people who are used to fighting, this kind of thing is commonplace.Nobunaga's usual behavior is absurd, and he didn't even attend his father's funeral this time—could someone deliberately trap Nobunaga for injustice and send someone to arrest him... The chanting sounded.As expected, people flocked to Nobunaga's seat.Nohime no longer had the courage to raise her head. "Let me out! Bastard." From time to time, she saw the scene of Nobunaga shouting wildly in the cage, and even saw the bloody and bloody scene of Nobunaga struggling to die. Soon, the monks also seemed to realize that Nobunaga was away, and gradually became weak.A monk got up and whispered a few words into the abbot's ear, then he walked to the head of the house, Lao Lin Sado, and said, "Please offer incense." "Why isn't my lord coming? Stop chanting sutras for now." Lin Zuodu frowned and looked at Zhengxiu with embarrassment. "Have you seen him yet? You will not forget to offer incense to the First Lord, right?" Hirate Masahide bit his lip tightly, twisting the beads in his hand, "It's coming soon." "My lord was trained by you alone, there should be no problem, but now the chanting is interrupted in the middle of the funeral, it's too unlucky..." Zhengxiu didn't answer, and searched around every corner of the hall.Two or three people stood up to meet his gaze.Before they sat down, the chanting had stopped. The monk came over again.Wuwei Xinzang held the list of incense, and looked at Lin Sado and Peace Tesaihide with eyes for help.Lin Zuodu knelt on one knee and asked, "Where is my lord?" His eyes were full of anger, and he scanned the audience fiercely. "It's about to burn incense! My lord..." "Don't be impatient." Hirate Masahide waved his hand tiredly, "Although the lord has not yet arrived, it cannot be started by someone else. I think it's better to wait for a while." His voice was calm and calm, "This is first The Lord's funeral, no matter how unrestrained the Lord is, he will not forget it." "Master Tie!" "yes." "No...don't say it. Wait a little longer." Nohime wanted to cover her ears.After the chanting was interrupted, there were whispers, full of dissatisfaction and ridicule.If Nobunaga hadn't arrived, everyone would be suspicious.Surrounded by such hostility, how can Nobunaga hold the family together... Even if he is not assassinated or imprisoned, Nobunaga's future is bleak. "Is he fishing again?" "Maybe go to sumo too." "No, I'm afraid it's dancing. Now is the season for viewing flowers." "It's amazing, I even forgot my father's funeral." Finally, Hikogoro Oda of the main family spoke: "Everyone, can we just wait like this?" "Yes. Don't be impatient." Zhengxiu replied. "That's totally unheard of, Jung Soo." "grown ups." "But for the sake of caution, I would like to ask: If the lord has not shown up, will today's funeral be suspended?" Yan Goro's voice was soft, but firm and powerful. Zhengxiu, who has always been calm and resourceful, didn't know what to do for a while: "No ,This……" "When will we wait?" "This……" "Should I let Mr. Xinxing offer incense, or..." "This... no. Please don't be impatient." "Tie." Lin Zuodu spoke again, "The matter has come to this point, we acted cheaply, and it is not for disloyalty. What do you think?" "It makes sense." "We must consider the mood of everyone here. If we continue to wait like this, what will be the result?" Suddenly, a figure flashed at the entrance of the Buddha Hall. "Ah!" A person in the last seat yelled. "My lord! It's my lord. My lord is here!" "My lord..." Nonghime raised her head excitedly.All eyes turned to the door at the same time.Nonghime doubted her eyes a little.She saw that Nobunaga was still wearing the casual clothes he had worn when he went out yesterday afternoon.Her hair was like an upside-down tea brush, tied casually with a red headband, only her eyes still radiated a frightening edge.He strode in with his strong chest out.Could it be that he attended his father's funeral in this attire?Nouhime held his breath. Nobunaga walked in proudly, carrying the four-foot-long beloved sword Bizen Hirotada in his left hand.There was a leather rope tied around his waist. "Ah!" Zhengxiu also saw the grass rope.But Nobunaga had strode towards the coffin, and Zhengxiu had no chance to remind him. "What's going on here? It's even a straw rope." Lin Zuodu also saw it.Mrs. Tsuchida couldn't help straightening up. "How decent!" "The clothes are still covered with mud." "Sure enough, I went to wrestle." "This is really..." The father's funeral is a big thing for the son, and it is disrespectful to be late, but Mr. Xin came in such casual clothes... Needless to say, the monks, even the abbot Zen Master was also stunned.But Nobunaga went straight to the spiritual place as if nothing had happened, and the people hurried out of the way.Nobunaga stopped before the spiritual tablet.His knife was stabbed on the sacrificial table, and there was a loud clang, and the hall was suddenly silent. Surprised by the voice, Wuwei Xinzang hurriedly said: "Master Shang Zongjie has offered incense!" The sound of chanting followed.But Nobunaga neither sat down nor lowered his head, he proudly supported the sacrificial knife on the sacrificial table with his left hand, and stood firmly in front of the table, staring at the tablet: Wansongyuan Taoyan Road sees the Great Zen Dingmen.Attracted by his strange behavior, people just watched quietly.Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed a handful of incense ash. "Ah—" People were shocked, not knowing what would happen. Nobunaga threw the incense ash in his hand onto his father's tablet.Ashes scattered everywhere.Although the abbot didn't dodge in panic, many monks left and right hurriedly raised their hands to wipe their eyes. "Crazy! He's really crazy..." Lin Zuodu was talking to himself, but Nobunaga had stepped back from the coffin, staring at everyone with wide-eyed eyes. Everyone didn't hear what Lin Zuodu said.For Nobunaga's crazy behavior, everyone had forgotten to criticize or complain, they were all stunned and lost their minds for a while. With his back to the spiritual seat, Nobunaga stood proudly, like an eagle looking down on everyone in the seat. "My lord!" Zhengxiu said, "The seats are over there..." I don't know if Nobunaga heard this, he suddenly approached Oda Hikogoro of Kiyosu in three steps at a time, and said, "Thanks for your hard work." Although the strength is not as good as Nobuhide, Hikogoro is the main family after all.His face was pale, avoiding Nobunaga's sight, he was afraid of being conquered by Nobunaga's irresistible power. Nobunaga turned to Oda Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle, "I heard you broke a bone." Nobunaga was at a loss for words.He understood that Nobunaga's words were a kind of blatant irony, and according to his usual personality, he would definitely not let it go, but the matter happened so suddenly, Xinqing didn't know how to answer for a while. Nobunaga quickly retracted his knife back into its sheath, walked a few steps, and said majesticly to relatives and famous people from all over the world: "Thank you." "My lord!" When Masahide Hirate called him again, Nobunaga had already rushed to the gate. Wuwei Xinzang suddenly came to his senses, "Mr. Kanjuro Nobuyuki offers incense." His voice was loud.But most of the people were still staring at Xin Chang's back. Nobunaga left the temple without looking back.The setting sun had already dyed the jungle red, he carried the knife on his shoulder, put his other hand in the straw rope around his waist, and strode towards the mountain gate with meteors. Nobunaga didn't wake up until Nobunaga disappeared. "You are worthy of being my lord..." Even so, Nobunaga's actions were a bit reckless after all.She couldn't help worrying again.Nobunaga has already made the whole clan an enemy, and his actions just now are tantamount to declaring that he will not give an inch to them.If Yamaguchi of Minghai and Nobukiyo of Inuyama Castle rebel at the same time, Gudu and Naguye will undoubtedly be in danger. Knowing that there will be such serious consequences, why does he treat everyone so proudly?Thinking of this, Nohime suddenly became worried about Hirate Masahide.Today, he is the only one who supports Nobunaga... As Nobunaga's master, will Zhengxiu be blamed because of poor arrangements for today and be forced to commit seppuku?If so, Nobunaga will be even more helpless.She sneaked a look at the old chair at home, but saw that Zhengxiu was as if nothing had happened. "Mrs. Shang Zongjie." Wuwei Xinzang finally recovered his calm voice, and called out to Nong Ji clearly. Noonghime stood up, and everyone's eyes focused on the wife of the maverick lord. beautiful lady.Some people think she is so pitiful, married to the enemy's Naguye City, and her husband is so weird."A beautiful woman's fate" is really appropriate to describe this lady. Nong Ji stood in front of the spiritual tablet holding a handful of incense, and closed her eyes. Only I knew what my husband was thinking... She prayed sincerely for it.When Nong Ji finished offering the incense and was about to return to the seat, the three-year-old Ah Shi grabbed her by the sleeve and said intermittently: "Father... is dead?" She looked at Nong Ji innocently.This little girl is as cute as a doll, but her words caused everyone to cry. Mrs. Tsuchida finished offering incense, and Nobuhide's children came to the coffin in order of seniority.When the twelfth son Matjuro was carried to the coffin by Mrs. Iwamuro, there was another commotion among the crowd, which was different from the situation when Nohime Shangxiang just now.Sad orphans and widows!But this young and beautiful woman still attracted everyone's attention with her charm and beauty. "She is so beautiful, it's no wonder the Former Lord was unwilling to leave Mosen City." "Isn't it? She has a coquettish charm that is completely different from Mrs. Nong's." "right." "She is only eighteen years old, I don't know who will become a stunner in the future." For the young and beautiful widow, people pay more attention to it than sorrow and sympathy.Hirate Masahide listened silently to the whispers of the people.He still hasn't figured out Nobunaga's mind, why did he appear suddenly, and why did he leave suddenly?That kind of reckless and weird behavior should not be the work of Nobunaga, he is clearly challenging everyone openly.But does he have what it takes to overwhelm the enemy?If not, his behavior is tantamount to the bravery of a common man, not the actions of a general. Relatives finished offering incense.Hearing his name, Zhengxiu came to his senses and left the seat. "My first master, I am incompetent." He felt that he had been entrusted with trustworthiness and beauty, and when he offered incense, he couldn't help tears in his eyes.After returning to his seat, Zhengxiu closed his eyes.The scene of Nobunaga with a straw rope around his waist throwing incense ashes at his father's spiritual tablet always appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't get rid of it.
