Chapter 422
Chapter 422
It's been a long time since Mitsuhide Akechi went to court—especially when he appeared as "Oda Nobunaga".But he only showed a surprised expression for a short time, and he agreed immediately, and he and Saburo carefully and briefly decided on the accompanying personnel.
As Saburo's power and prestige increased day by day, the risk of this approach became much higher.However, neither Akechi Mitsuhide nor Saburo has ever really cared about the risks behind this. Given the current weakness of the court, they have no energy to care about the different performances of "Oda Nobunaga" when he went to court several times, so this substitute Going to court was really just letting Akechi Mitsuhide simply replace Saburo last time.
When Mori Ranmaru hurriedly knelt at the door with a saber in hand and waited, Mitsuhide Akechi had already changed his clothes and was ready to leave at any time.
Times have changed, and Mori Ranmaru has grown a lot taller than when he first arrived at Oda's house. Even if he has not caught up with the height of his elder brother Morinagake, he can still stand out from his peers.The appearance he inherited from his mother has grown day by day, and it can be seen that he will be another handsome man respected by this era-but compared with Hori Hidemasa, who is also popular and looks like a good girl, Mori Ranmaru's face is still With some youthful innocence left, even at the age that should be worn in this era, he still looks more like a boy than a man.
When he looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, his eyes were almost sparkling: "Your Highness feels very different today!"
"Ah, Hikari... Ah, Nobunaga is very suitable for wearing this type of clothes." Saburo, who had already covered his face with a white scarf like Mitsuhide Akechi, but who was sitting in an unruly manner, said casually.
"You...how can you call His Highness by his name! Mr. Wise!"
"Don't worry about such small things." Akechi Mitsuhide said lightly, "Where's Kutaro (Hidemasa Hori)?"
"Mr. Hori is already preparing the horse for you, let the villain bring you a sword first." Interrupted lightly by Akechi Mitsuhide, Mori Ranmaru immediately forgot "Akechi Mitsuhide" was abnormally vulgar and weak, and hurriedly Counting the swords and swords in his hands, he raised them over his head and handed them forward.
There are not only short swords for body protection, but also wakizashi and fighting swords inside. They are supported by red lacquered wooden trays, which only makes people feel dazzled at first glance.Akechi Mitsuhide only glanced at it, and saw several times that he had already had a sword to deal with the mourning god, and couldn't help turning his eyes slightly, and fell on the man with the sword who was still waiting not far away, and immediately met a few His eyes were piercingly looking at the eyes here.
He didn't intend to waste any more time on such details, just like Saburo, who had no appreciation and relied on his eyes to strike the sword: "Just this Zhen'Yiyuan Zuowen'..."
Fu Sangshen with cherry-colored hair under the corridor suddenly sneered: "Besides the Demon King, do you also want to leave a mark on me?"
Akechi Mitsuhide's expression remained unchanged, and his hand quickly slid down, brushing over the "Yimoto Zuomonji" and landed on another Shintachi: "——Mitsu Mitsutada next to you."
Because he is not familiar with swordsmen, Mori Ranmaru didn't notice any problems in Sosan Zuofuji's speech just now. He only watched Akechi Mitsuhide pick up the sword with twinkling eyes, and praised: "Your Highness can memorize it so quickly. Is it the name of Shixiu Guangzhong? Sure enough, it suits His Highness's wishes—the villain will help you fasten the knife."
"That's right, 'His Royal Highness' has a very good memory." Saburo has also come over, and said in a tone that is honored but not respectful at all, "except for Candlestick Kiri and Yoshimoto Zuoji (With Fu Sangshen's knife that is waving in front of my eyes every day) I don't recognize other knives except for being more familiar. But this 'shixiu' is really pretty."
He said solemnly, "It's the style I like very much!"
... Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada heard the words and didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
Akechi Mitsuhide just touched the corner of his mouth briskly, then rejected Mori Ranmaru's kindness, fastened the tachi with his fingers deftly.Perhaps it is a common problem of being a military commander. Even though he seldom has the opportunity to use force to directly confront the enemy, Akechi Mitsuhide's aura is obviously a little bit harsher after wielding a sword. No righteous Saburo is more like a superior who leads a family.
Senlanmaru shrank back the many swords he was holding in his hand, affected by Akechi Mitsuhide's aura, his expression became much calmer.
"There seems to be something missing—it's the sword (Fu Sangshen)!" Not caring about Akechi Mitsuhide's change at all, Saburo just rested his chin on one hand and pondered for a while—even if he covered his face, his exposed eyes were still showing through. Akechi Mitsuhide never had such vitality, so bright that it was almost scorching, "They will follow every time they go to court... this time it will be Tsurumaru Kuninaga"
Mori Ranmaru was puzzled, but had no choice but to retort: "Mr. Akechi, do you remember that 'Tsurumaru Kuninaga' is Mr. Mimaki's saber?"
"That's true." Saburo nodded, his eyes slipped around the row of swords squatting nearby in a "visible" state, and whispered to himself, "Then choose a better relationship with Xiaoguang... It's you! Don't move Xingguang!"
Before Mori Ranmaru could hear the specific content of Saburo's words, he was startled by Saburo's suddenly raised voice, subconsciously pushed the sword in his hand forward, and said blankly: "'Fudo Xingguang (Sword Sword )'right here!"
It is true that Fu Sangshen who is here is still holding a glass of amazake, when Saburo suddenly called his name, he couldn't hold on to the wine glass for a while, and hurriedly fished it back before it fell to the ground.His eyes bloomed with a brilliance similar to that of Mori Ranmaru, but different from Mori Ranmaru who was still deceived by his appearance, he stared at Saburo who was wearing the clothes of "Akechi Mitsuhide" very accurately.
However, Saburo didn't look at him, but after thinking of him, he bluntly suggested to Akechi Mitsuhide: "Then this time, let's take Xingguang with us."
Akechi Mitsuhide responded with a good temper: "Okay."
Mori Lanmaru didn't know what kind of tacit agreement these two people had reached during the question and answer, but he saw the "Fudo Xingguang" he was most familiar with among the many swords in his hands, and he felt that he had understood the two people. The meaning of "Akechi Mitsuhide" must be that His Royal Highness is not enough to wear a single shock sword, and it would be better to add "Fudo Yukimitsu" as a short sword for body protection.Although he was suspicious in his heart why today's "Akechi Mitsuhide" suddenly behaved wildly, without any sense of dignity, but his "lord" did not express any opinion on this, so he could only hold back and just "do not move light (sword)" Pick them out, and respectfully present them to Akechi Mitsuhide.
After knowing that Mori Ranmaru must have misunderstood, Akechi Mitsuhide did not explain, and took the "Fudo Yukimitsu" with the opportunity, and inserted the dagger into his belt under Fudo Yukimitsu's bewildered and terrified eyes.Then he calmly waved goodbye to Saburo, and took Mori Ranmaru to board the chariot and horse prepared by Hori Hidemasa, ready to go to court.
Saburo, who was left in the temple, looked at Fu Xingguang: "Xiaoguang's safety is up to you."
Immovable Xingguang's face suddenly showed a very subtle expression.
He is different from Yakiri Hasebe or Tsurumaru Kunito, although he also has military and political talents, but compared to the seniors who can treat "Honnoji Incident" and "Akechi Mitsuhide" rationally, he still has Full, the blood that teenagers often have.Facing Akechi Mitsuhide, his senses are also very complicated - on the one hand, he cannot completely conclude that Akechi Mitsuhide has nothing to do with the "Honnoji Incident", so he often has hatred and dissatisfaction with this historical figure; Akechi Mitsuhide has the same appearance as Saburo, and he will be shaken every time he sees Akechi Mitsuhide's unfailing loyalty to Saburo.Therefore, his attitude towards Akechi Mitsuhide has changed from "the culprit of Honnoji Temple, go away!" to "if I can't see it, I will pretend nothing happened".
This time he had a rare face-to-face with Akechi Mitsuhide, Fudo Yukimitsu felt awkward in the first place, and because of this, he regained the happiness brought by drinking amazake.However, what made him unprepared was that in Saburo's eyes, his relationship with Akechi Mitsuhide was obviously different from the actual situation.
...Struggling for a while between the joy of being given a heavy responsibility by Saburo and the resentment of having to face Akechi Mitsuhide, Fudo Yukimitsu finally succumbed to Saburo.
Until he entered the palace, Fudo Xingguang's complexion did not improve. On Junxiu's face was a childlike resentment that was obvious but not offensive or intimidating.He was still holding amazake in his hand, sipping it with his back to Akechi Mitsuhide, his fair face soon turned a thin blush due to the strength of the drink, only the hand half holding the blade of the body Still stable without the slightest tremor.
Akechi Mitsuhide's conversations with court officials came to his ears intermittently.
"Today's Nobunaga-sama is extraordinarily intimidating."
"You are overrated." Akechi Mitsuhide replied flatly, "I am no different from before."
"No, no, it is a great honor for us that you are willing to sit down and have a banquet." The public official who spoke—no, not only this official, it is obvious that the entire court has been tortured by Saburo's willfulness countless times. His temper got so bad that Mitsuhide Akechi just acted as usual, and they all felt greatly moved.Even though the emperor was still limited to his poor status and expressed his affection for Akechi Mitsuhide, these people from the government and no influence have already begun to praise the rare "Oda Nobunaga who looks good and talks well".
However, although Mitsuhide Akechi doesn't have Saburo's self-willedness, he also has a smoothness that Saburo doesn't have!
Being very clear about his identity, Mitsuhide Akechi naturally couldn't go beyond Saburo and promise these officials anything.He also didn't utter shocking rhetoric like Saburo from time to time, at most he just nodded noncommittally when he heard other people's words, but this gentle attitude with no breakthroughs made people even more uneasy.The maids in the palace would also blush and whisper secretly because of the rare demeanor of "Oda Nobunaga". Those court officials who were born completely attached to Oda, even the emperor, just wanted to show their favor but didn't know how to do it. I was at a loss and sweated all over my back.
With all kinds of rumors that seem to be true and false, "Oda Nobunaga" is already a well-deserved horror character in Kyoto who can stop children from crying at night.Not to mention his never-ending intention to expand abroad, and his life as if favored by destiny.
If the officials believed that the emperor was the blood of Amaterasu and never thought of overthrowing the emperor, it is naturally impossible for them to regard Saburo's several times of averting danger as a mere coincidence.
Fortunately, Saburo's love for swords is well known.
"I heard that you got a new sword recently." Someone said, "It just so happens that I also have a sword that I would like to invite you to taste."
"If you really want to, it's not too late to ask me tomorrow." Akechi Mitsuhide said without hesitation, "Just two strikes of the sword are enough for today."
Shixiu Guangzhong is one of the 25 famous swords in the world, and also one of the famous knives of this era.On the contrary, Fudo Yukimitsu has no famous deeds for the time being-but it doesn't matter to Akechi Mitsuhide.
He just held the moving light in one hand - once the dagger is out of its sheath, the intricate and gorgeous reliefs on it can be reflected by the candlelight.There was a faint smile on Mitsuhide Akechi's face that still didn't look old, and his tone was extremely calm: "Don't move the light, 99 rounds, Goro Zuoyu sits in the latter."
After he finished speaking with a smile on his face, he continued calmly: "I judge swords only by their eyes, I think you won't mind."
The courtiers, who were still a little ready to move, immediately became as quiet as chickens in this sentence that sounded normal but had an extremely indifferent meaning, almost expressing that they should not act without authorization.
Fudo Yukimitsu, who was still sipping amazake aggrievedly at first, didn't care about the last sentence of knocking, turned his head suddenly, and saw Akechi Mitsuhide's gentle eyes on "Fudo Yukimitsu" for a moment, his face The blush on the face was frightened away.

who sits in the latter
Xiao Guang: What knife Saburo likes has nothing to do with you.
Immobility: who am I where am I what happened
I can't help but want to love and not move anymore hahahahaha.
Don't move: This chapter clearly arranges my future. (Indifference.jpg)
