Chapter 698 Song Yong's Dilemma
In order to protect himself, Song Yongxiu has been stirring up internal conflicts in Miyoshi's family, leaving Miyoshi Changqing with no energy to pay attention to her.

And because she communicated with the shogunate on the front line and eased the external environment for Miyoshi's family, she made Miyoshi Changqing, who was devastated, look at him differently, and reused her again, and her life became better and better.

Now that Miyoshi and the four sisters are all dead, the Miyoshi and the three are grateful to Matsunaga Hideo for planning to kill Anzhai Dongyasu and keep their prosperity and wealth.

Miyoshi Yoshitsugu also wooed Matsu Yonggao more, hoping that she would drive Miyoshi Changqing's direct ministers and continue to support the new family governor.

Song Yongxiu removed the hidden danger of Miyoshi Changqing's ruthlessness, and he was in a good mood in Miyoshi's family.Holding tea, she smiled and watched the two friends communicate.

Akechi Mitsuhide joked a few words to Tsutsui Junqing, and turned the topic back to her.

"Matsunaga Hime, I heard that you have recently taken in a powerful retainer?"

"That's right, it's called Honda Zhengshin.

A while ago, several samurai clans in the west joined forces to put pressure on Ishiyama Honganji Temple.She is a disciple of the Ichigo sect and came to see me as a special envoy of Honganji Temple.

Seeing her extraordinary intelligence, I felt pity for her talent, so I accepted her as a retainer.

how?Wise Ji wants to meet her? "

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

"I just sigh for a moment."

Song Yongxiu smiled and said.

"Is it the retainer you took in a few days ago, reminding you of the old days of Nobuo?
Mino Owari Mikawa, the current Oda family united with the Matsudaira family, is amazing. "

Akechi Mitsuhide laughed sarcastically.

"The rise and fall of the samurai family is like cherry blossoms blooming and falling, rising and falling suddenly.

I really didn't expect that a false statement of fleeing in Meinong back then would actually have a day to be fulfilled. "

Saito Toshizo brought Saito Ryuko to join Mitsuhide Akechi for a few days, which really made her deeply moved.

In order to escape from danger, Akechi Mitsuhide used words to run against Saito Yoshiryu.Who knew that after Mino Saito's family business died, Saito Yoshiryu really asked his widow to come to her to fulfill his promise.

Who is Mitsuhide Akechi?If it was normal, she would definitely find a chance to get rid of Saito Longxing.Either the front, or the middle, let her fend for herself.

Only Zhizhi Guangxiu has ever run on others, and she has never met anyone else to blackmail her.

But it was precisely the Saito family that was destroyed by Oda Nobunaga that made Akechi Mitsuhide decide to take in the Saito widow.

She will never forget that day, listening to Shiba Yoshigin's sad monologue with Hosokawa Fujitaka.

Oda Nobunaga, this is the first time you took away the lord, and let him fall into troubled times, struggling to survive.The lord can be relieved, but I will never forget it.

Akechi Mitsuhide kept this hatred deep in his heart, and he would eventually ask Oda Nobunaga for it.

Since Saito Ryuko is Oda Nobunaga's secret pain, let's keep her first and see what's the use.

Matsunaga Hide didn't know what Akechi Mitsuhide was up to, but she had a smile on her face, but alarm bells were ringing in her heart.

Originally, Song Yongxiu had already gained a firm foothold and didn't want to continue to make trouble.

It was Akechi Mitsuhide who exposed her little tricks behind her back, making her fear that Miyoshi Changqing would find out one day, so she could only bite the bullet and add to the mistakes.

Now that Miyoshi Changqing and Ataka Toyasu are both dead, Matsunaga Hideo's position is stable, so of course he doesn't want to continue to be used by Akechi Mitsuhide.

Akechi Mitsuhide raised the topic several times, talking about Miyoshi's family, but Matsunaga Hide deliberately avoided it, not giving her room to make excuses.

Akechi Mitsuhide was not in a hurry either, he smiled and watched Matsunaga Hide dodge.It's like looking at the prey in the net, the more you struggle, the tighter you tie it.

Even in the samurai society where life and practice are not taboo, murdering the lord is a first-class crime.

There are many martial arts that replace the main family.However, using conspiracy to murder the lord and take people's lives has no lower limit, and everyone despises it.

The Wu family values ​​etiquette and dignity, and rebellion is also shameful.It's one thing for you to take away the power of the lord, but it's another thing to murder her life, at least you can't let people know about it?

Song Yongxiu thought that the three good and four sisters were all dead, and this matter was over, and there was no reason for Akechi Mitsuhide to catch it.

The false innocence of smart people, can she deceive herself?If you really don't care, why are you so wary of Mitsuhide Akechi?
In troubled times, she couldn't help it.

Now, no matter Miyoshi Yoshitsugu or Miyoshi Sanyou can use her, she can of course pretend to be confused about some things.

But when will she be useless and become an eyesore stumbling block?There are some problems that can't be weighed by four or two in your hands, but you can't hold a thousand catties when you get on the scale.

Akechi Mitsuhide sipped his tea, smiling at the two friends with a graceful and elegant posture.

In winter, the sun is shining brightly, but it doesn't feel much warmth when it hits the body.

Taking off a layer of clothing looks cold, and wearing a layer of clothing is bloated, which is really embarrassing.

---

As soon as the tea party was over, Song Yongxiu quickly returned to his territory of Diancheng.

Every time she meets Mitsuhide Akechi, it gives her a very strong sense of insecurity, and she has to go home to see if she has been taken away.

Fortunately, Diancheng was fine, so she felt at ease.

In the atrium of the residence, the newly recruited retainer Honda Masanobu is playing chess with his daughter Matsunaga, and the two of them enjoy coming and going.Seeing Song Yongxiu came back, they stood up and saluted together.

Song Yongxiu accepted the gift with a smile, and chatted with them.

"Is Ben Duoji getting used to living in Diancheng these days?"

Honda Masanobu bowed.

"My lord did not abandon me, I collected it into the gate wall, and I had no shortage of food and clothing.

It's just that I enjoy these before I have made any meritorious service, and I feel uneasy. "

Matsunaga laughed and said.

"Bon Duoji is really a kind person. There is always a chance to reward the public. Don't worry, I will not be stingy. I will definitely give you the opportunity to make meritorious service."

Honda Masanobu smiled shyly and bowed slightly.

After obtaining the eligibility for envoy at Honganji Xianru, Honda Masanobu worked hard to study Matsunaga Hideo.After some interviews, she was greatly surprised, she aroused love for talents, and finally succeeded in becoming an official.

With his good communication skills, Honda Masanobu and Matsunaga Hideo have a harmonious relationship with their mother and daughter, and they have gradually gained trust.

Song Yongtong, who was in Yuanfu just now, chuckled to Song Yongxiu in a low voice.

"Mother, there is news from His Highness."

Honda Masanobu bowed and was about to resign, but was stopped by Matsunaga Hideo.

"Bon Duaji, you don't have to evade, just listen to me and give me some advice."

"Hi!"

Matsunaga said throughly.

"His Royal Highness intends to let me join her side near the banner to serve for the main family.

In addition, she will send Miyoshi Yasunaga to Sakai Port to sort out the checkpoints, hoping to get your support. "

Song Yongxiu asked Song Yongtong.

"What about you? Do you want to serve as the lord's side minister?"

"Of course I would."

Song Yongtong did not hesitate.

Although the Miyoshi family began to turmoil, it was after all the hegemon who dominated the Shikoku and Western Japan.

Miyoshi Yoshihiro extended an olive branch to her after the governor of the family, and also showed his favor to the Matsunaga family, and gave him a ladder to ascend.

The lord's close cronies are an excellent channel for the Wu family to rise to power, and Song Yongtong has no reason to give up.
