Chapter 192
"No, it's impossible! This morning, His Highness was very excited to say that he was going to forge knives!" It took only a moment for Mori Ranmaru to react, and he argued anxiously, "I have been staying in the room with His Highness Wise since then, and I also have Burning charcoal fire! How could you suddenly get sick!"
"Now is not the time to investigate the cause." Hori Hidemasa's cold eyes are different from the feminine beauty, and finally have a male, knife-like coldness, "You have been living here, you should know where the doctor is."
"Know……"
"Then go to the doctor now. I'll bring the quilt for His Highness." Maybe it's because I've been in contact with the wild samurai for a long time, and I'll see you again after a year. rebuttal awareness.
Hori Hidemasa stared at Ranmaru's equally beautiful eyebrows and the look of panic in them, and his brows relaxed slightly.
"If you want to succeed me as His Highness's valet, don't be so lax."
He scolded Ranmaru.
"Your Highness's affairs come first. Now, hurry up!"
"Yes!"
It’s not that Mori Ranmaru didn’t think of this—as the second son of the Mori family whose father died in battle and the eldest brother inherited the family business, he was fortunate to be able to serve as Saburo’s surname here because of the favor of the Oda family, and he always respected Saburo. With a state of admiration.It's just that he is still young, and his physique is different from his brother's thinness, which makes him feel confused from time to time, so he can't react immediately.He didn't realize the seriousness of Saburo's illness until he said the words, and he was worried and panicked, accompanied by some self-blame.
Hori Hidemasa's words of encouragement and reprimand at the same time made him calm down, and after a loud and hasty reply, he was about to run towards the side of the corridor.But before he took two steps, his hand was grabbed by another big hand, he staggered and almost fell, he couldn't help turning his face away anxiously, only to see a face tightly wrapped by a veil: "— —Your Highness Wise, I am going to find a doctor for His Highness, please let go!"
"Don't be so troublesome." "Akechi Mitsuhide"—the young man who was actually Saburo let go of his hand, rubbed Ranmaru's soft and smooth head twice indiscriminately, and said with a casual attitude, "Little...no, Your Highness is really not sick!"
"Really?" Hearing his words, Hori Hidemasa still frowned, and retorted, "But I saw that His Highness was in low spirits, and his behavior was different from before... Mr. Akechi, are you sure His Highness is in good health!"
"I'm sure." Saburo replied forcefully, "Lack of energy—it's all because I'm hungry!"
Hidemasa Hori: "..."
Hori Hidemasa always felt a very strong sense of familiarity from the vulgar words and loose attitude of "Akechi Mitsuhide".
"Is that really the case?" He asked cautiously again, "His Highness does look like he is unwell."
"Really, there have been times like this before." Saburo replied nonchalantly, then carefully grabbed Ranmaru's shoulders, and said with a serious attitude, "Remember to put more miscellaneous cooking in the kitchen. Order!"
Mori Ranmaru looked helplessly at Hori Hidemasa who was frowning, and then at Saburo who only showed a pair of eyebrows but serious and firm eyes, finally nodded tentatively, and stammered: "I, I will Remember!"
"That's all right. Bring it here quickly."
After getting the answer he wanted, Saburo let go of his hand graciously.Mori Ranmaru stopped at the same spot and looked at Hori Hidemasa's face, and found that although the other party's face was still slightly gloomy, he did not refute Saburo's words, so he changed direction and walked a few steps toward the kitchen— — Hori Hidemasa still did not stop him, and Mori Ranmaru, who is still only a child, finally calmed down, and ran to the kitchen quickly following the words of "Akechi Mitsuhide".
Akechi Mitsuhide, who was still sitting on his seat in the room, rubbed his temples with a headache, and looked at several Tokenfusangshin in blank dismay.
"Xiao Jiu, come in too, it's quite cold outside."
Watching Mori Ranmaru go away, Saburo patted Hori Hidemasa on the shoulder, and walked back to the room on his own.Hori Hidemasa, who was called out by a familiar name, subconsciously responded, and then raised his head in amazement to look at Saburo's back. After his gaze settled for a certain amount, he fell back to the master who was sitting on the main seat with an elegant demeanor and who was in his memory. On people who look exactly the same.
Could it be... no, it is still impossible.
Before the thought that had just arisen took shape, Hidemasa Hori dismissed it neatly.
It's really unbelievable to say a substitute.Even if there is really a substitute, it is impossible to look similar to this point, not to mention the demeanor of the "Oda Nobunaga" in the seat, although it is not the same as the "Oda Nobunaga" he met a year ago in his memory. Some are different, but it is not something that ordinary people can have.
A person with such tolerance must be above others.This is not something that can be possessed simply by imitation, it must be possessed by real experience.Not to mention that in the vast crowd, it is very difficult to find someone with similar appearance, and it is almost impossible to demand that the appearance and body are exactly the same; it is impossible for a person who simply has this kind of bearing to be willing to be subdued and become a substitute .It is even more ridiculous to speculate that Akechi Mitsuhide may have something to do with it—even if this is the case, how could Oda Nobunaga make people with the same appearance as his retainers, and even give high-ranking officials generous salary
When Hori Hidemasa became Saburo's valet, he saw Saburo with a loose attitude, as if he didn't care about everything.But because he had doubts about Akechi Mitsuhide's identity before, he also asked Shibata Katsuya about Oda Nobunaga's brother Oda Nobuyuki in a roundabout way, and he also heard a little bit of this Oda veteran's lament for Oda Nobunaga , I learned that Oda Nobunaga was weak, gentle, and intelligent before the age of 15. It was not until one day that he suddenly recovered from his illness that he let himself go and become what he is now.
Before that, he followed Saburo as a close servant, and he had seen several times that Saburo suddenly became very polite, with the same demeanor and etiquette.Although this appearance may startle people at first glance, and even create the illusion of "not the same person", but because "Oda Nobunaga" looked like this before the age of 15, it seems... not so... strange
So is Mr. Wise.Every time after teaching His Royal Highness etiquette (actually, switching identities), there will be news that Mr. Zhizhi can only choose to climb trees because the teaching is too hard and in order to release the pressure.Such times are not uncommon, and His Highness's character often makes people feel overwhelmed. Mr. Zhizhi's gaffe just now is probably because His Highness stimulated him too much, so he broke the pot and didn't pay attention to his manners.
Because it is rare to see people with the same appearance, let alone a similar figure, Hidemasa Hori, who has always been thoughtful, has been polished into a more mature man during the time he left Gifu for nearly a year. At this time, he does not intend to do it hastily. No speculation—if it is true, this matter is too involved, and he cannot allow him to make rash judgments... Besides, similar things did happen before!
And not once or twice!
No matter how strange it is, the more times it seems to be acceptable.He will think it's not right, and if he really cares, he will be chaotic?
Thinking of this, Hidemasa Hori pressed the something wrong he felt before, and re-focused on the physical condition of "Oda Nobunaga"—that is, Mitsuhide Akechi.
Of course he believed in the statement of "Akechi Mitsuhide".Although he has doubts about Akechi Mitsuhide's true identity, Hori Hidemasa is a bright-minded person, and he is not afraid of knowing the "history" like Touken Fusangshin. How dedicated Tian Nobunaga is - that loyalty is not only rare in the world, but also rare in the world.
Not to mention that Chimitsu Hideo is a rare person in the Oda family who can advise Oda Nobunaga at critical moments!
If it is really sick, according to the degree of Akechi Mitsuhide's loyalty to Oda Nobunaga, it is absolutely impossible to help him hide his illness, and Oda Nobunaga, as the governor of the Oda family, although he has always looked lazy, But the obsession with competing for the world has not changed for many years, and it is even more impossible to hide his illness foolishly - if Oda Nobunaga has always been as frail as Shibata Katsuya described him at the age of 15, then The sickness can also make people understand.But Hori Hidemasa deeply understood how healthy Oda Nobunaga was before, and his face didn't look like a 40-year-old person.
Could it be... Could it be!
His Highness Oda Nobunaga is actually—has the old disease relapsed!
Probably because he had intuited Hori Hidemasa's thoughts, Saburo's body shook suddenly, and he said blankly: "...is the door open too far? It's a bit cold."
But Hori Hidemasa, who realized that there was such a possibility, couldn't sit still anymore.
This is not something that is difficult to verify and ridiculous like the absurd "Your Highness may have a substitute", but it is really possible, and it is nothing more than a trivial matter that can be solved by asking a doctor to check it out.
"Your Highness's complexion is still too bad." Hidemasa Hori looked at Mitsuhide Akechi sincerely, and said in a deep voice, "Please allow me to take my leave first."
Since Mori Ranmaru was ordered to go to the kitchen to pick up miscellaneous cooking, he was the only one to do the job of finding the doctor—I don’t know if the doctor’s residence has changed during his absence.
"Is there?" Saburo subconsciously looked at Akechi Mitsuhide's face, but he still couldn't find anything from that face similar to his own, so he said flatly, "But it was really hard to come all the way, Xiao Jiu Better go and rest."
Hori Hidemasa immediately frowned again at this familiar painting style.
"That's right." Akechi Mitsuhide also nodded in agreement, "The order to transfer you back was issued yesterday, and you are back today, it seems that you are in a hurry. Kutaro might as well take a break, Hasebe and the others It’s also here, and they can tell you anything.”
This kind of blind trust in Koga ninja (in Hori Hidemasa's view) is also what Hori Hidemasa felt from Saburo in the past.He unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, his face tightened because of the worry about "Oda Nobunaga"'s body, and he didn't look as indefinable as before.
"Yes. I will report it to Hasebu. After that, I will lead someone to see His Highness. I hope His Highness will not turn us away."
Hidemasa Hori saluted Mitsuhide Akechi again, and walked out quickly.
After his figure disappeared outside the door, and the sound of footsteps could not be heard in the ears of the sword Fusangshen, Yakiri Hasebe's body, which had been tense from the moment he entered the door, finally relaxed, and moved towards The two people who switched identities whispered: "My lord...and Mr. Wise. What are you doing!!!"
Saburo: "Well, I'm going to eat miscellaneous cooking."
"...that's not what I asked."
After being choked by Saburo's straightforward answer as always, Hasebe's mood became unbelievably calmer.He looked at Saburo's tightly covered face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva because of nervousness and anxiety, and asked again.
"My lord, why on earth would you think of swapping identities with Mr. Wise?"
When he realized this, Hasebe was almost scared and pulled out the main body directly! ——This is purely a reflexive behavior caused by Akechi Mitsuhide's special status.Fortunately, he realized that Saburo was also in the room in time, and he restrained himself in time when he didn't appear to be in danger. He knelt and sat aside patiently, waiting for Hidemasa Hori to leave before he could ask.
——Even if you switch identities, you can't choose Mitsuhide Akechi, Mr. Nobunaga! !
The same face is not just for you to change your identities!
Press cut: The same face is not for you to play and change your identities!
Saburo: Exactly.
I'll see if I can code another update today.But don't expect extra words in the next chapter.
