A secret courtyard near Hitoda. This article was first published on the ground of the courtyard full of cherry blossoms. At this time, a layer of cherry blossoms was covered with cherry blossoms. This courtyard was a place where Takechiyo (that is, Tokugawa Ieyasu), the legitimate son of the Matsuhei family (that is, Tokugawa Ieyasu), who was captured by Mikawa, often gathered to play. Later, after Takechiyo was sent back to the Imakawa family's Shunfu Kingdom, the place was abandoned.

In the past two days, several people suddenly moved into the place. In the evening, two people came outside the yard in the dark and were talking to the guards in a low voice. The two people pushed open the wooden door of the yard, walked through the courtyard full of cherry blossom petals, and came to a wooden house.

Through the oil lamp emitted from the open wooden door, you can see that the young man was in a mess, with a wooden face leaning against a used tatami in a daze.

"Congratulations, Your Highness." After the visiting two people walked into the wooden house and closed the door of the wooden house, one of them said to the young man who was still leaning on the tatami in a daze.

After hearing a sudden word from the visitor, the young man was moved. His eyes turned and looked at the visitor. The visitor ignored the rudeness of the young man and continued to analyze: "His Highness Kanjuro, the lord has just announced that you have forgiven your guilt. Both Shibata Kanjurokashi and Lin Zuodou Shuitashi were forgiven by his lord, and are helping the lord to expel the mobs who are still in trouble in His lord's territory."

"Really...really?" Oda Nobuyuki, who had a haggard face, finally responded and immediately confirmed again.

Yes, the young man in this wooden house is Oda Nobuyuki who has been unavailable to find. The reason why he was under house arrest was entirely because of his unluckyness.

On the same day, after his army was defeated by his brother, Oda Nobuyuki hurriedly ran towards his own residence, Mamoto Castle. Because he was in the midst of a chaos, he soon got separated from his many guards, so he had to escape towards Mamoto Castle in his memory like a headless fly. As a result, he crashed into a team of seven or eight people led by Hidetaka Kawajiri who was pursuing deserters, so Oda Nobuyuki became a prisoner of Hidetaka Kawajiri.

After capturing Oda Nobusuke, Hidetaka Kawajiri immediately sent someone to report to Oda Nobunaga, so Oda Nobunaga temporarily ordered Oda Nobunaga to escort Oda Nobunaga to the current yard and put it under house arrest. Until tonight, Oda Nobunaga finally got the results of his brother's disposal.

"Yes. Your Highness, you have been pardoned by the lord. Please get up, we will give you a ride." The visitor confirmed to Oda Nobuyuki again. This person was Oda Nobuyuki's confidant, Hiroki Ikeda. The one who accompanied Hiroki Ikeda into the house was Hidetaka Kawajiri who had captured Nobuyuki Oda.

"Okay, okay!" At this time, Oda Nobuyuki, who was completely surprised by the news he had just received, immediately got up numbly, and then, with the help of Hiroki Ikeda, began to walk towards the wooden door of the wooden house. Now Oda Nobuyuki is fantasizing about returning to Momori Castle to continue his life as the lord.

When he was about to walk to the wooden door of the wooden house, Kawajiri Hidetaka, who was already behind Oda Nobuyuki and Yoshiki Ikeda, suddenly stepped quickly from behind, and at the same time, he took out a strong straw rope from his arms and directly tied it to Oda Nobuyuki's neck. Oda Nobuyuki, who was suddenly attacked, immediately tried to resist. However, Ikeda Hokki, who was originally supporting him, tightly controlled his hands and body.

Under the sudden force of Hidetaka Kawajiri behind him, Oda Nobunaga immediately felt that his neck was getting tighter and tighter. It was so tight that he could not breathe. In order to resist this feeling of suffocation and to win the opportunity to breathe, he kept twisting his whole body and kicking his legs on the mud floor of the wooden house. But everything he did was futile. With Hidetaka Kawajiri and Hiroki Ikeda's tight control, his strength to resist became smaller and smaller. Finally, his head twisted, his whole upper body became softer, and he died like this. But at this time, his eyes were wide open, as if he was very unwilling to accept it, and his legs were stretched out, and he directly climbed the mud floor under his feet out of two mud pits.

"Okay, clean up and send it to the place you requested by your lord." After confirming that Oda Nobuyuki was dead again, Hiroki Ikeda breathed and said. Hidetaka Kawajiri, who was also gasping for breath, nodded. So the two of them found a straw mat, wrapped Oda Nobuyuki's body, blow out the oil lamp in the wooden house, and carried the body into the darkness...

On the second day, a team of Oda soldiers who were searching for Oda Nobuyuki finally found Oda Nobuyuki who had been hanged in the woods in Oda Nobuyuki territory. As Oda Nobuyuki's body was discovered, two rumors began to circulate in the Oda family territory. One rumor was that Oda Nobuyuki was hanging himself for fear of sin. The poor guy, even before the moment, had no knives on his body, could not even commit suicide with the most dignified sapling of the samurai, so he had to hang himself; the other rumor was that the murderer who killed Oda Nobuyuki was the Yixiangsen thug who had just been expelled from the Oda family territory. Because at the scene where Oda Nobuyuki's body was discovered, people also found a piece of torn rags of monk robes there.

Oda Nobunaga, the governor of the Oda family, was very angry about this. He directly announced to the public that the Oda family would remain unstoppable with the Ise country's Fuze Temple. Oda Nobuyuki's death immediately had a great impact on the Oda family. The retainers of the Oda family have since become more loyal to Oda Nobunaga. Even Lin Sado Morita Toshikatsu, Shibata Konobuki and others who had previously participated in the rebellion seemed to be obedient.

Among so many people, only Oda Nobuyuki's mother, Toda Oda Miemae, was the most sad. Although Oda Nobuyuki and Oda Nobuyuki were both her biological sons, she obviously always favored her second son Oda Nobuyuki, and even supported her second son to inherit the position of family governor. Now, seeing her beloved son suddenly die inexplicably, she is naturally sad. In addition to being sad, she also pleaded with Oda Nobuyuki, hoping that Oda Nobuyuki's family and son would be kind to Oda Nobuyuki's family and son.

Oda Nobunaga naturally agreed to this, but he clearly stated that because Oda Nobuyuki planned to rebel, his descendants no longer allowed the use of the word "Oda" Miao, and since then he used Tsuda as Miao. At the same time, his younger brother's son was handed over to Shibata's Kojirokashi family to raise. Since then, an internal strife in the Oda family has ended.

When the news reached the ears of Imakawa Yoshimoto who was in Suruga, Imakawa Yoshimoto sneered and sighed: "What a cunning little guy!"

Yes. Just from getting these scattered news about the internal strife of the Oda family, Imakawa Yoshimoto, who had a vicious vision, he knew that there must be a secret of Oda Nobuyuki's death. Even Imakawa Yoshimoto could be sure that Oda Nobuyuki's death must be inseparable from his brother Oda Nobunaga. Why did Imakawa Yoshimoto have such an inference? In fact, just think about it for a while and you can understand it.

At this time, there were hostile forces such as the Iwakura Oda family in the upper four counties. Outside, there was his own Imakawa family in the east, the Ise country of Ise, the Kitasato family in the north, the Saito family in the north, and the Kiyosu Oda family in the north, and the Kiyosu Oda family in the Kiyosu country, and the Kiyosu Oda family in the Kiyosu country were in danger at this time. If this civil strife was not handled properly, it would be invaded by various hostile forces. For this reason, Oda Nobunaga, as the governor of the family, naturally preserved the strength of the family as much as possible. This time, the killing of Oda Nobuyuki naturally preserved the strength of the Oda family and the military strength, and the family took the opportunity to unite the strength of the family. Ohashida did a very beautiful job this time.

In fact, Imakawa Yoshimoto guessed nothing wrong. In history, during this civil strife in the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga did pardon Oda Nobunaga and others with the enemy's eyes (at that time, Oda Nobunaga escaped back to Momori City). But the following year, Oda Nobunaga still had plans to rebel. As a result, he was reported by Shibata Katsuki, so Oda Nobunaga used the excuse of being sick to lure Oda Nobunaga to visit him, and then killed Oda Nobunaga. This time, without damaging his own retainers and other strength, he completely quelled the family's rebellion and began to unify the internal strength of the Oda family. Of course, Oda Nobunaga was also a vengeful person. In order to preserve the family's strength, Oda Nobunaga gritted his teeth and endured it, but after the Oda family developed and expanded in the future, Oda Nobunaga found an excuse to exil Lin Xiuzhen's family.

As for this time, because Oda Nobuyuki was accidentally captured, Oda Nobuyuki did not need to worry about attacking Oda Nobuyuki who was hiding in the fortress as in history, causing a larger and longer family riot. Moreover, this time Oda Nobuyuki violated Oda Nobuyuki's taboo, so it would bring foreign enemies into the family internal struggle. Oda Nobuyuki was willing to fight with his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki with his strength to decide the position of the family governor, but he would never allow the intervention of the foreign enemies, which would bring disaster to the Oda family. So, after some consideration, Oda Nobuyuki decided to secretly kill his younger brother Oda Nobuyuki and blame the foreign enemies. Unexpectedly, all of Oda Nobuyuki's arrangements were seen by Imakawa Yoshimoto at this time.

"I really hope to fight this fool right away!" Seeing that even Ohara's Oda family began to become stronger, Imakawa Yoshimoto was really a little anxious. With the strengthening of the Oda family, it will naturally affect the Imakawa family's Upper Luo (Ohara Kingdom is located in the west of the Imakawa family, which is the only way for Imakawa Yoshimoto to go from land). As for some of the performances of the daimyos in various parts of Japan, he was even more anxious.

In March this year, Miyo Nagaki captured two cities, Akashi and Sanshu, of Kazuma. At this point, the power of the Hosokawa Kyoto family in the local Hosokawa Kyoto family was almost uprooted. Over the past period, the Miyo Family has obviously accelerated the pace of annexing the Hosokawa family. As long as the Miyo Family completely annexing the Sanyo Family and then suppressed the Hosokawa family in Hanoi (the Kazuki family in Hanoi in history dragged down the Sanyo Family who had mastered several countries), then the Gyeonggi area was completely controlled by the Miyo Family, which proved that the Miyo Family had succeeded; Echizen's Nagata Keiko and Kafari Takeda Haruno fight again on Kawaakashima, which not only showed the power that Echizen could not be underestimated.

It seems that he is going to take advantage of the situation to reach Kanto, the territory of the Hojo Yasuka family. These events have attracted the attention of the Imakawa family, but a shocking news immediately made him fail to break the Ming tea bowl that he has always loved very much. This is: The Luo family Masara from Kyushu has destroyed Tao Qingxian, defeated Maori Moto, and occupied Nagato and Zhou Fang, who originally belonged to the Oui family, and even An Yi of the Maori family. Such strength naturally became the well-deserved new overlord of the Western Kingdom. It is even rumored that the Luo family Masara intends to enter Beijing in the near future. The situation forces Imakawa Yoshimoto, who is about to enter his forties, and he must act quickly.

All the heroes are competing to enter Beijing. Hojo, Nagao, Takeda, Miyo, and Luo family... are now standing at the starting point of entering Beijing. Next, we will see who can reach the end first. If the Oda family cannot be included in diplomacy, they must be destroyed, otherwise they will lose the opportunity to enter Beijing.

And Kuraku, a person will also play a huge role. Thinking of this, a young man named Jiro Saburo appeared in Imakawa Yoshimoto's mind. (To be continued...)
