After hearing this conversation between the master and the servant, I believe everyone can guess that this assassination incident is more or less related to them.

This assassin is indeed the daughter of Nakada Shimasato, named Ah Kyo. When Nakada slaughtered the city, she had married to Edo and became a retainer of Ieyasu and escaped. After learning the bad news of the murder of the whole family, she repeatedly asked her husband, hoping to go back to Toyoke to avenge his family. After learning about this, Ieyasu had a plan in his mind and decided to make good use of her.

Of course, Ieyasu still needs to do his best on the surface. Ieyasu pretended to be very sympathetic to her, and talked to her righteously, and often expressed regret for Nakada Shimasato: "Your father is an old minister who has been with me for more than 20 years. He was only appointed by me as the banner of Xiyuanjiang and could not move to Edo. Unexpectedly, this led to your father's and women being different from each other. Alas, this is all my sins." In fact, Nakada Shimasato had already begun to expand his power in the Mikawa Tori area and was even more slanderous to Ieyasu. Ieyasu wanted to get rid of it quickly. Who knew that Hideopo had taken the lead and was too late to be happy, so how could he feel regretful?

But Ah Jiang believed that this matter had nothing to do with Ieyasu and was the result of Hideo's wanton killing, so she comforted Ieyasu: "My father was appointed as the banner head because of his lord's appreciation for him. If Hideosuke Toyotomi deliberately provoked Ikki of the Three Kingdoms, how could his father and his relatives die in a bad life? Please ask the lord to seek justice for my Nakata family."

Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned and said with a embarrassed look: "I don't want to avenge the current affairs, but Toyotomi Hideo is the nephew of Taige, with a fiefdom of more than one million. If you really fight, not only will you not avenge the current affairs, but you will suffer the lives and harm the people of Kanto."

After hearing what Ieyasu said, Ah Jiang was unwilling to shed tears and bit her lips and asked, "Lord, is there no other way to punish this devil?"

Ieyasu was waiting for this sentence. He was secretly happy but said helplessly: "Apart from meeting swords and weapons, I'm afraid there is only one way to assassinate. Assassination is a life-long errand. Where can I find a dead soldier who is willing to take risks with me?"

After hearing this, A Jiang replied without hesitation: "The little girl has learned martial arts from her father since she was a child. Although she is not very skilled, she is more than enough to deal with a playboy like Toyotomi Hideo who is ignorant and has a weak martial arts skills. Please understand your daughter's desire to avenge her father and show her a clear way for her daughter to assassinate Hiroo."

Ieyasu nodded a hundred times in his heart, but there were a thousand disagreements in his mouth. He said with a frustration: "You are the only one left in Nakata's sect. How can you still let you take such a risk? In order to be worthy of the current affairs of the Heavenly Spirit, I will not allow you to do that."

A Jiang shed tears and bowed to Jiakang in front of her, wailingly asking him to agree to her request. What else could I say in Yakang? She had to "bear the pain" to design a detailed assassination plan for her.

It is simply to make the retainers turn a blind eye to Ah Jiang's actions. As long as she can get close to Xiubao smoothly, her obligations will be fulfilled. As for success or not, it should have been determined by her luck, but Ieyasu already has his own plans.

Regarding Ah Jiang's preparation to assassinate Hideo, Ieyasu only revealed to Honda and his son in advance that he did not tell the truth about other retainers, even Naomasa Ii, but only ordered them not to interfere in Ah Jiang's disguise as Ah Guo. As for the reason, since he did not want to say it, these retainers dare not ask.

In fact, it was not until the day before Ieyasu that Ieyasu told Honda and his son about the plan to indulge Ah Kyoto to assassinate Hideo. Honda Masamune felt incredible when he heard this and immediately raised an objection: "Lord, even if it was Ah Kyo's own idea to assassinate Danayan, if he really let him die in Edo, my family might not be able to escape. It would be troublesome if Taige blamed him."

After hearing this, Ieyasu smiled without saying a word, turned to the side and asked, "Zhengxin, what do you think?"

Honda Masato glanced at Zhengchun and replied respectfully: "The minister has no objection, I believe that the lord will not let Ah Jiang succeed."

After hearing this, Ieyasu laughed loudly, nodded to Zhengxin and praised him, "There is no better than Zhengxin. Zhengxin. You must learn from your father well. With your current abilities, you can't take over the class."

Honda Masaku then bowed and apologized for his lack of consideration. Ieyasu continued: "Yes, I plan to indulge Ah Kyo to assassinate Hikasaki, but this is just to test Hikasaki, and she will never allow her to assassinate successfully."

"Test? Are the lord still worried about Dana's words?" Honda Masamune asked. Ieyasu nodded: "The letter you sent back last time just told me that Shuibo and Mitsuna are not in harmony and can take this opportunity to win over. But you don't know the prerequisites. What I need is an obedient dog, not a tiger that may bite me back at any time. If it cannot prove that he meets this, he can only be an enemy."

"Is this why the lord arranged a ninja in Utsunomiya?" Zhengchun suddenly realized.

"That's true," Ieyasu continued, "If I find that he is a mediocre person, I will be relieved to win him over. But if he is a plastic material, then I have to let the ninjas in Utsunomiya get rid of him in Ueno. Anyway, it is no longer my territory. I can rely on all the wealthy families of Junyuan San. Even if Taige suspects afterwards, he will definitely not doubt me. Of course, I will sit next to Shubo to protect him. As soon as Ah Kyo takes out a dagger, I will kick her into the hall immediately, so that I will not cause any trouble."

After hearing Ieka's plan, Zhengchun was so impressed that he immediately went down to arrange related matters for Ah Jiang. A day later, there was a thrilling scene at the banquet. However, what Ieka didn't expect was that Koji could rush to stop Ah Jiang's assassination in front of him, which made him look at the princess of the best family with admiration.

Time turned back to the present. After visiting Komaki and apologizing and comforting Hideo, Ieyasu went to the study with Honda and his son to discuss the next plan.

As soon as he returned to the study, Jia Kang said to Zhengxin like a child, "I didn't expect that this nobleman is even more stupid than Jinwu Zhongnayan and more cruel than Guan Bai. If such a 'talent' is not used, it would be a waste."

Honda Masato nodded in agreement: "This man was unruly and unethical after drinking, and was moody. He thought that Nakata Castle was a plan to kill a chicken to warn the monkey. However, from the fact that he killed Ah Jiang in front of everyone today, he knew that he liked killing and regarded human life as a mustard. How could such a cruel person support the foundation of the Toyotomi family?"

"Not only that," Honda Masamune also expressed his opinion, "He actually believed Ah Jiang's one-sided words, believing that this incident was all done by her and had nothing to do with others. If a person with such a simple mind follows his lord in the future, he can make him devoted himself to his family and he will be even more likely to fight back."

Ieyasu looked at Zhengchun with relief. Yesterday was still confused and didn't know what it was. Today, I have understood the mystery. It is indeed worthy of praise: "I am very relieved that you can think of this, but I guess you haven't noticed that there is another thing that Hideo has attached to Komaki over there."

"Is this very important?" Zhengchun touched his head and was confused again.

Ieyasu asked back with a bit of joking, "Isn't it important? As the saying goes, 'Beauty's disaster', Xiubao was originally drunk, but he suddenly woke up because of the injury of Komaki. Before he could draw the truth from A Jiang, he killed her and killed her. Such a matter of valuing love can be said to ordinary people as a good story, but after all, he is not an ordinary person, but a daimyo who is destined to be involved in the disputes of the world. He attaches too much importance to the so-called confidant and will never get the world."

After hearing Ieyasu's explanation, Honda Masato immediately asked: "Since that's the case, the ninjas stationed in Utsunomiya..." "Let them come back. There are more talents like Danayan, so how can he take his life at will?" Ieyasu ordered.

At the same time, Hideopo was waiting for her awakening in front of Komaki's window. Seeing that there was no outsider, Hideopo ordered Shima Qingxing to close the door. Then he changed his drunkenness and bowed to Takato Fujido and said, "I have no choice but to let you suffer aggrievance."

Gao Hu also changed his angry expression and said politely: "The lord is so shameless that his subordinates are so embarrassed. If I hadn't learned about your alcohol tolerance earlier, I would have believed it."

Shima Qingxing also interrupted at this time: "Gao Hu is right. They don't know how much the lord drinks, but can we still not know? Since you act so realistically, your subordinates will just use the trick. But it's really a pity that has caused Mrs. Koji."

This hit Xiubao's wound. Although he was guessing that Taoya Kam wanted to take the opportunity to detect his character, he really didn't expect that he would come up with an extreme method of sending assassins. What he didn't expect was that Koji would be so desperate to save him. How could Xiubao not feel guilty?

"Your Highness..." Ju Ji slowly opened her eyes and called softly.

Seeing Komaki wake up, Xiubao immediately burst into tears of joy, and clenched her hands tightly and responded excitedly: "I'm here, Xiubao sits in front of you."

Ju Ji reached out and stroked Xiu Bao's cheek gently, and smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your Highness is safe even if you die." "What stupid things are you saying, it's just an arm injury. You will be cured after a few days of rest. You will still accompany me to enjoy the plum blossoms." Xiu Bao comforted.

When Koji heard this, her cheeks were red, her cherry lips were closed tightly, and she turned her head to one side and fell asleep. Looking at her shy expression, Hideo suddenly remembered her first love, which was the same expression and the same warmth, but she might never see her again in her life.

He gently stroked Ju Ji's hair, looked at her with warm eyes, and silently said in his heart: "Abandon the truth, and I will marry myself at that time. I will also give me pity to the people in front of me."
