Chapter 1951 An irresistible friendship

The food stamp crisis continues to expand, and the chaos in Sakai Port is in chaos. All parties, such as Ozo Changan, Honda Masanobu, and Hansawa Naoyoshi, all focus on this piece of fat for different reasons and purposes.

Takada Harano, who originally wanted to resist stubbornly, was persuaded by her sister Yukino Takada, and decided to obey the instructions in the saint's private message and give in voluntarily.

The Takada family will gradually fade away from Shiba business and seek to develop in a new Shinto direction.

The food stamp crisis has become the starting point for a new round of reshuffle within the Sibo family, but the Pusheng clan is secretly pondering a new policy for Sibo real estate to reform and save, and needs new sources of funds.

The Shiba family's economy continues to be in turmoil, and at the same time, Akechi Mitsuhide, who is competing with Hideyoshi Hashiba, has fallen into military difficulties.

The Akechi army, backed by Yodo Castle and Katsuryuji Castle, entered Yamazaki, but unexpectedly, they found themselves in danger.

Yodo Castle's Matsunaga Hide rebelled and opened up the Yodogawa waterway, allowing the Hashiba Army to enter the Yamashiro Kingdom, outflank the Akechi Army's retreat from the rear, and besiege Yamazaki.

Akechi Mitsuhide was strategically passive. She could only pin her hope on Hosokawa Fujitaka of Katsuryuji Castle to send troops to rescue, guard the front line of Katsura River, and protect the Akechi army's final retreat.

Shenglong Temple City, residence hall.

In spring and summer, it rains continuously, and the humid weather makes clothes and pants wet and always difficult to dry.

The baby in Hosokawa Fujitaka's arms was also sticky, which made her feel extremely anxious.

Fortunately, all divine descendants are in strong health, and Ayu in Hosokawa Fujitaka's arms breathed naturally without any heat rash.

As he gently patted his beloved daughter and looked at his daughter's sleeping little face, Hosokawa Fujitaka was calming his heart.

In front of her, two mothers, Motonsune Hosokawa and Haruta Mibuchi, sat.

Although these two old women had already entrusted the family business to Hosokawa Fujitaka and no longer interfered with household chores, their influence still remained.

Today's matter was so important that they couldn't help but want to find out, and Hosokawa Fujitaka also needed their support to mobilize all the power of the Izumi-Hosokawa family to fight hard.

Mibuchi Haru was the most impatient and spoke first.

"Futaka, have you thought clearly, do you have to send troops?

Akechi Mitsuhide went against the grain and acted without authorization and burned His Highness Oda to death at Honnoji Temple, despite the sage's orders.

Now that the Oda family's army has come for revenge, the Kyoto samurai family is watching with cold eyes. Do the Izumi-Hosokawa family really want to take a trip into this troubled waters?

Akechi Mitsuhide did many unjust things. Although there is no clear evidence of what she has done, you and I both know it in our hearts.

There is a cloud in the sky, it is not that it will not be reported, the time has not yet come.

Now that she has ended up like this, it is all her own fault. Why did you let her take the chestnuts from the fire and do such a thankless and stupid thing? "

Hosokawa Fujitaka smiled bitterly twice, glanced at Hosokawa Motonsune who said nothing but showed approval, sighed and asked.

"Do I have a choice?"

The conscience of heaven and earth, as long as there is still a choice, Hosokawa Fujitakama does not want to interfere with the business of that bastard Akechi Mitsuhide.

Hosokawa Fujitaka had just given birth to a child, and within a few days of confinement, he suddenly received bad news from Kyoto. Akechi Mitsuhide raided Honnōji Temple and killed Oda Nobunaga.

Confirming that this was true news, Hosokawa Fujitaka was going crazy.

The saint has established the Fushimi Castle system and wants to cooperate with the Oda family to conquer the world, but Akechi Mitsuhide wants to go against the will and kill Oda Nobunaga. This guy is looking for death!

Hosokawa Fujitaka is not Akechi Mitsuhide. She is less idealistic and more of a cold-blooded utilitarian person inherited from a prominent family in the shogunate.

If there were no saint, no matter how deeply entangled he was with Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka would not hesitate to sell Akechi Mitsuhide.

Yodo Castle's Matsunaga Hide has set an example for Hosokawa Fujitaka. Let go of the city defenses and strike back. Akechi Mitsuhide will be trapped and die in Yamazaki!

But just because of the saint's existence, Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide have become grasshoppers tied on a rope, and she cannot abandon Akechi Mitsuhide.

Back then, Hosokawa Fujitaka was operating secretly, causing so much trouble for the Shiba family and causing so much trouble for the saint?

She has almost exhausted all the love between Mibuchi Haru and the saint, and the future of the Izumi-Hosokawa family has almost been thrown away by her!

Regardless of Akechi Mitsuhide's purpose, she indeed helped Hosokawa Fujitaka pimp him out, get on the holy bed, obtain the holy seed, and give birth to a divine descendant.

Hosokawa Fujitaka defeated Mibuchi Fujihide, inherited the Izumi Hosokawa family, captured the Sakai Port, conquered Tango Kingdom, deceived and massacred the Isshiki clan, and swallowed up the land of two counties.

These and other incidents are all closely related to Akechi Mitsuhide, regardless of each other.

Now that Akechi Mitsuhide is in trouble, if Hosokawa Fujitaka sits back and watches Akechi Mitsuhide be defeated and die, how will the saint view her? How would the shogunate families view her? How would the Kinki samurai view her?

Taking a step back, with the deep bondage between Hosokawa Fujitaka and Akechi Mitsuhide, Hosokawa Fujitaka said that he would turn his back on the enemy, would Hashiba Hideyoshi dare to believe it?

Hosokawa Fujitaka had chest tightness and shortness of breath, but she had already boarded Akechi Mitsuhide's pirate ship and could not get off again. Akechi Mitsuhide was the red thread connecting her to the saint, and she could not cut this thread.

Since ancient times, love has locked people's hearts. Hosokawa Fujitaka, who was born in a famous family, can be politically cunning and ruthless, but that man is not such a person, so Hosokawa Fujitaka does not dare to be such a person.

Hosokawa Fujitaka looked at Ayu sucking her fingers in her arms, and carefully rubbed her tender skin with his fingertips, feeling that his heart was about to melt.

She and the saint have flesh and blood. She doesn't want the saint to think that she is a cold-blooded political animal. She wants to maintain this hard-won relationship between a man and a woman.

Therefore, even if Mitsuhide Akechi, the bastard, broke the whole world, Hosokawa Fujitaka would have to lose his teeth and swallow his blood to keep his great matchmaker and iron ally.

Faced with the doubts of the two mothers, Hosokawa Fujitaka explained to Mibuchi Haru with a wry smile.

“It’s not that I’m willing to wade into this muddy water, but in fact I can’t ignore it.

Mother knows the character of the saint very well. Your kindness in protecting your old son back then brought you great benefits to the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water.

The saint is a rare man from the Wu family who has never been seen in the ages. He is a man who values ​​friendship the most. He will keep even your kindness in his heart and never forget to help the Hosokawa Mibuchi family.

Nowadays, with the incident at Honnoji Temple, His Highness Oda died tragically and left an orphan, and Mitsuhide Akechi fell from his horse and lost his fetus, it can be said that both sides suffered losses.

The saint no longer has a child and has lost the mother of a child. How painful it must be in his heart.

Even though Akechi Mitsuhide made many mistakes, she was pregnant with the saint, and she still held the orphan of Oda in her hands.

If I sit back and watch Akechi Mitsuhide be killed by Hideyoshi Hashiba and die in Yamazaki, the orphan of Oda will fall into the hands of Oda retainers and become a political pawn.

When the saint comes back, how can I have the dignity to say goodbye to him calmly? "
