"Ikeda Huomasaki?! What does this have to do with the Ikeda family?" Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at Okino Masayuki suspiciously and murmured: "Do you know that I am His Highness Huimasaki's father-in-law, and you slander him in front of me. Don't you want to live?"

"How dare the villain slander His Highness Ikeda? Please listen to the villain's detailed explanation." Masayuki Ogino kowtowed repeatedly and begged almost crying.

Seeing Masayuki Ogino so humble, Tokugawa Ieyasu also calmed down a little and said softly: "You talk about it first."

"Thank you lord!" Odino Masayuki took pleasure in surrendering again, and replied tremblingly: "The villain followed Ota Hara Masaki all the way to Omiya Castle. He originally planned to take advantage of the darkness to frame the Ashishi family. He didn't expect to kill Cheng Yaojin halfway. Before he could do it, he was discovered by Tonini under Harao Komiya Yama. There were more than 80 people, and no matter how we fought, it would be difficult to break through. In the end, except for the villain, they were all killed."

"You mentioned just now that this was done by Komiyayama, but I never expected that the group of ninjas under his command were the famous Tochi family." Honda Masato said to Ieyasu in surprise: "I wonder if your lord still remembers that after the demise of the Takeda family, these Tochi family would rather wander around than accept the recruitment of our family. Their loyalty to the Takeda family is impressive."

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded: "Yes, I sent people to search for traces of the Ninja several times, but in the end most of them returned without success. Unexpectedly, they would become accustomed to the fact that they would become under an unknown character like Komiyayama."

"Lord, you don't know anything," Okino Masayuki continued, "Then Haruka Komiyayama is not the legitimate son of Tomohiko Komiyayama, but the remnant of the Takeda family!"

"What did you say?!" This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it struck Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Masato to the point of being scorched and tender inside. The two looked at each other and scolded Masao Ogino and cursed: "Bastard, what are you talking about? The Takeda family has long been destroyed, so how can there be any remnants?"

Masayuki Ogino hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, saying that he was indeed guilty of frightening the two, but what he said was true. The Harukatsu Komiyayama is indeed a descendant of the Takeda family. "The lord doesn't know that he is Takeda Katsurai's third son Takeda Katsurai. Before the Battle of Tenmu Mountain, he was escorted out of Katsurai Katsurai from Katsurai, and later survived by the Ikeda family's blessing. Now, in order to restore the family name, he joined the right mansion. He did his best to do his best."

"Lord," Masashizumi of the Institute nodded after hearing this, and analyzed to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "If this is true, then the recruitment of Ninjas will be reasonable. But I didn't expect that the Ikeda family would have done such a thing on their backs."

"Ikeda Hengxing is a powerful retainer whom Nobunaga relied on. I never expected it. But this is not unexplainable. Didn't my family take huge risks to recruit Takeda's remaining ministers? But this is incomparable to the Ikeda family, who directly protects Takeda's descendants."

"But just relying on this point to determine that Ikeda Shin-san is rebelling against my family. I think it's too early?" Honda Masato thought carefully.

"Please forgive the villain for taking the liberty," Ogino Masayuki continued, "That night, I pretended to surrender to Omiyayama. I just learned from him that since the villain replenished supplies in Tunlin Castle, Komiyayama's whereabouts have been known to him. Let me tell you. If Ikeda's family had not informed me, how could the news leak?"

"Pretending to surrender? Why, Omiyayama will like you?" Honda Masato could not believe Omiyao Masaoyuki's explanation. In his opinion, Omiyayama Harukashi, who owns Toninja, would not like Omiyay, as it is very likely a plan of discord.

Ogino Masayuki was belittled by Honta Masato, and his face turned red and green, and he murmured: "Sadou Mori doesn't know that the reason why Komiyayama wants to recruit villains is because of the dozens of breakthrough ninjas under the villain's command is that this is also the reason why villains can come back alive."

"So that's the case," Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded slightly: "It seems that Komiyayama wants to recruit the Takeda family's ninjas to serve the Right Mansion. If this is the case, it's understandable that you will be let go back."

"The lord is right," Okino Masayuki nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice: "The villain was originally a lord of Takeda. It was precisely this that made Komiyayama relax his vigilance and made him reveal the Ikeda family behind the scenes. To be honest, when he said that it was His Highness Ikeda's information, the villain was also shocked. However, thinking about the Ikeda family's request a few days ago, at the request of the Right Mansion, the Ikeda family sent two thousand troops to assist in the defense of Otahara and allowing Komiyayama to use the Ikeda family's family patterns, all this seemed not so abrupt."

After hearing what Okino Masayuki said, Honta Masato, who was originally inclined to be conservative, began to shake: "Allowing Komiyama to use Ikeda Butterfly means sympathy for Takeda and recognition of Komiyama; agreeing to send two thousand troops to Otahara, indicating His Highness Hiromasa's surrender to the Right Mansion; as for selling off his ninja information to Komiyama, it is obvious that he draws a clear line with his family. Lord, I think the Ikeda family has deviated from him, and he has to be careful in the future."

Tokugawa Ieyasu was already in a state of grief and anger. He was betrayed by Pu Sheng Hideho, and now he was betrayed by Ikeda Huimasato. His two sons-in-law actually all turned to Toyotomi Hideo at this critical moment! Although he was originally confused, it was not easy to face such detailed analysis by Honda Masato or not to admit it?

"I understand," Tokugawa Ieyasu suppressed his anger and waved to Ogino Masayuki, "Thank you for your hard work this time, go down and rest first. As for how to reply to Omiyayama, I will tell you later."

When Masaichi Ogino heard that he had nothing to do, he immediately leaned over to say goodbye and hurriedly left the hall, leaving only Tokugawa Ieyasu and Honda Masatoshi in the room to have a secret conversation.

"I really didn't expect that Hiromasa Ikeda was even better than the Pu Sheng family. If Masao Okino reported the truth, I don't know how long it would be deceived." Masao Honda's name for Hiromasa Ikeda also changed at this time, and it seemed that he was very confident that he had been betrayed.

Tokugawa Ieyasu nodded and lamented: "I think I am good at treating Hiromasa and Hideaki, why did I end up like this? They are all my son-in-laws, why did they all surrender to Toyotomi Hideo at this time?"
