Chapter 184 Crane Maru and Yang Feather Butterfly
Otahara Masaki was flattered by the preferential treatment of Azushi Yoshishen, so he naturally accepted the requirements that only needed to move his mouth. After drinking and eating, he stayed in Ninomaru in Omiya Castle, preparing to rest for two days, and then set off before raising his energy.
But unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, the entire Omiya Castle suddenly became noisy. The sleepy Ota Hara Masaki rubbed his eyes, yawned while complaining, and opened the window, looking at the door of the Dashou not far away. It didn't matter when he saw it, and the scene in front of him suddenly shocked the country bumpkin-like wealthy family.
All the important officials in the family, including Yui Shia Yian, who was the younger brother of Yui Shia, gathered outside the door of Otashi, as if anxiously waiting for someone to appear. After a while, a middle-aged man riding a tall horse and wearing a black hunting suit, came down to the welcome team from more than a hundred warriors and ninjas wearing night clothes. Before the middle-aged man dismounted, Yui Shia Yian first met and bowed to salute the man. The complete etiquette surprised Ota Hara Masaki.
"Shin Kyuro, can you see the family tattoos on that person?" Otahara Masaki turned around and asked his retainer Nobuna.
Nobuki Otani was a servant of Masaki, and he also read many books. To be honest, his knowledge is much more profound than his young master. Therefore, whenever there are any difficult problems, the first thing that Masaki thought of was Nobuki Otani.
Nobuki Otani lived up to his expectations. After observing for a long time, he murmured: "It should be the 'Turomaru pattern'."
"'Traffinus pattern'?" Otahara Masaki was a little unsatisfied: "There are more than 30 famous families in the world who use Traffinus as their family patterns. I want to know what style of Traffinus pattern he has."
"I think it should be 'Pu Shenghe'. Oh no, although they are all round mast patterns, they look like 'butterfly' from the pattern. Yes, it must be 'Ikeda Butterfly' of the Ikeda family." Nobuki Otani nodded with certainty.
"'Ikeda Butterfly'?" Ota Hara Masaki was a little puzzled: "I remember the Ikeda family used the Hei family's 'Yangyu Butterfly'. Where did the 'Ikeda Butterfly' come from?"
Nobuna Otani shook his head: "The one who uses the 'Yangyu Butterfly' is the Sezu Ikeda family. The one you see should belong to the Mino Ikeda family, that is, the family of the Tunroika. Although they are all Ikeda family, the family pattern of the Mino Ikeda family is a 'Tuan Butterfly' modified based on the 'Yangyu Butterfly', so it is obviously different from the Sezu Ikeda family, which is the sect family."
Hearing the four words "Tanlin Assistant", Ota Hara Masaki was stunned: "You mean this person is Ikeda Hiromasaki?!"
Ota Hara Masaki knew that as early as four years ago, Ikeda Himemasaki married Tokugawa Ieyasu's second daughter, Genghiko Hime, as his second wife, as his second wife. Therefore, the relationship between Ikeda and Tokugawa Ieyasu was extraordinary. Although Hideopo had favors to Hikemasa since then, the Ikeda family did not follow the lead like Pu Sheng and Utsunomiyasu, but instead had an ambiguous attitude with Tokugawa Ieyasu. If Ikeda Himemasaki really came to the Great Miyagi, then the road to Beijing would be dangerous.
Nobuki Otani saw Masaki's inner concerns and hurriedly comforted him: "Ikeda's servant and the Atsushi family have never had any relationship, so how could he visit Omiya Castle late at night? As I saw it, it should be just a family of Mino Ikeda's family."
"Is that so? I hope this is the case." Ota Hara Masaki sighed and said slowly: "In case, you should go out and find a servant to come in and ask clearly before you can talk about it."
"Ha. I'll go find it now." Nobuna Otani bowed and walked out. After a while, he led a young servant back to the room.
The young servant didn't know what was going on, so he had to lower his head and stand at the door tremblingly, waiting for Ota Hara Masaki's question.
"Hey, I'll ask you," Ota Hara Masaki asked with a arrogant look: "Your lord set up such a big formation at the door. Which daime is welcoming?"
The young servant hesitated for a while and stammered, "I heard that it is not Daming, but the retainer of Yamato Right Prefecture, and it seems that he is named Haruka Komiyama."
"Karakashi Omiyayama?" Otahara Masaki frowned and turned to Otani Nobuki: "Have you heard of this person?"
Nobuki Otani tried to recall and whispered: "I listened to the mention of my colleagues who came back from North Korea a year ago that a retainer under the Honda Tada Dynasty was recruited by the Right Mansion and made military achievements in the subsequent battles, and gained 5,000 stones of knowledge... If I remember correctly, then the man's surname is Omiyayama."
"If this is true, then I will feel relieved." Otahara Masaki sighed and ordered the young servant: "You will report to Master Komiyayama on my behalf, saying that it was Otahara Masaki, the young master of Otahara Castle in Shirō County, requesting an audience with him."
The young servant took the order to retreat, and Masaki washed and dressed up under the service of Nobuki Otani, waiting for the summons of Haruka Omiyayama.
However, nearly half an hour passed, and the servant still did not come back to report his life, which made Otahara Masaki feel despised. He ignored Otani Nobuki's obstruction and walked down Tianshou angrily, preparing to go directly to Honmaru to meet Harukatsu Komiyayama.
In fact, the matter was not what Masaki thought. The servant was stopped by Yui An before he saw the face of Komiyayama. The reason was to "disturb the VIP's rest". In other words, in order to summon the Tomiya Ninjas who lurked everywhere, Haruka spent nearly two months from Mikawa to Shinno, from Shinno to Suruga, and even Ueno and Hida sent people to investigate for a long time, so he finally found more than 80 ninjas. It is worth mentioning that nearly one-third of this group of ninjas came from the Sanada family in Ueda Castle. Of course, at the beginning, this old fox was unwilling to pay attention to Haruka, who was just a descendant of "the twelve people in the world". It was not until Haruka revealed his identity as Takeda Katsurara's second son that Sanada Masayuki was very frightened and treacherously apologized for his courtesy, and took the initiative to transfer Ura Maruki and Yokotani Yuki back to Haruka.
Haruka certainly knows what Masayuki Sanada played. After the battle of Uedahara, Tokugawa and Sanada had already become a powerful force. Fortunately, Hideyoshi reconciled from it and saved Masayuki Sanada's territory. Now that Hideyoshi passed away, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Japan is now in a three-legged state. The Omega faction, Yamato Toyotomi faction and Edo Ieyasu faction competed with each other, and undercurrents were surging. Among them, Tokugawa Ieyasu was definitely not the object of Masayuki Sanada's dependence; although Mitsunari Ishida was Masayuki's brother-in-law, his strength was
The weakest of the three pounds is also very risky to completely press Treasure on him. Therefore, taking this opportunity to sell personal favors to Kyukikaku is also an act of showing goodwill to Hideopo. As for his words that he always said that he was a "remain of Takeda" and "willing to contribute all his strength to Takeda's revival", they were just high-sounding gimmicks. Although Kyukikaku was not as brave as Kobayashi, his wisdom still inherited Shingen's mantle. Of course, these words can be heard true or false, but the window paper is not convenient to expose it.
The busy two months of busyness made Qingsheng physically and mentally exhausted. Therefore, he did not even participate in Zu Xi Yixian's welcome banquet, so he fell asleep in the wing room. Zu Xi Yixian did not dare to disturb him and stopped the servants sent by Zhengqing without authorization. But he did not expect that this stop would provoke a conflict between Zhengqing and Qingsheng. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
