‘Oh! It’s Lord Hinata…’ Hideyoshi’s figure disappeared from the other end of the porch, and the voice of talking to Mitsuhide gradually faded away, leaving only the somewhat surprised Ranmaru…

(Oh, by the way! I almost forgot that guy Mitsuhide.) Ranmaru suddenly clenched his fists.

‘What! You said that my dad would choose to stay behind at that time was Hyuga Mori's idea?’ A few months ago, when Ranmaru accidentally heard this amazing news from a general under his father's past, he couldn't believe his ears.

‘Yes! If Hinata recommended someone else at that time, Lord Mori probably wouldn’t have stayed in Usayama.’ said the general helplessly.

(Is that true?... If this is the case, then the original plan will add Hyuga Mori as well...)

Ranmaru pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind.

(Okay! Just do it! Guangxiu, wait and see! I won’t let you stay free for too long!)

'Hello!'

‘…’

‘Yeah, ah!’

Fangmaru shouted again, and finally pulled Lanmaru back to reality from his fantasy.

‘What’s the matter? Fangwanwan?’ Lanwan asked.

‘Brother, what happened to you today? I called you several times and you didn’t feel it.’

‘Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m thinking about things.’ Ranmaru quickly explained.

‘That’s true.’ Fangmaru still didn’t seem to doubt it, and then asked, ‘By the way, brother, where are you going, why are you going to keep moving forward?’

‘Oh! I almost forgot! I was going to help Lord Shin-chan get the wine. Do you want to go with me?’

‘Yeah! OK!’ Fangmaru agreed happily and followed Lanmaru to the wine cellar.

At this time, Mingzhi Army was slowly crossing Guichuan...

‘Li San, what is the situation of the troops?’

‘Sir, the pontoon bridge has been built, and the vanguard has begun to cross the river.’

‘Well, the speed is fast, we must take action before the enemy starts up.’

'yes!'

Because it is in the rainy season, the water in Kashi River is quite strong, and Akichi's army is rushing to cross the river at night, so the speed of crossing the river is much slower than usual. As time goes by, Mitsuhide can't help but worry about Qi Nobunaga's safety.

(Lord, you have to hold on, my Guangxiu will arrive soon.)

('Have you ever thought about treason?')

The scheming expression on Mitsuhide's face when Hideyoshi asked Ranmaru that day.

(Hmph! That guy, the monkey, just won a few battles, began to become arrogant. He wanted to commit suicide. It would be useless to use you so much as Lord Xin Chang.)

Mitsuhide could not hide her disappointment and anger with Hideyoshi.

‘Sir!’ Just as I was thinking about it, Saito Rizo came from Mitsuhide’s ears, ‘The whole army has finished crossing the river, everyone is waiting for you to give orders.’

‘Tell the whole army! Throw away the bad horses and replace them with new straw sandals! Be careful with the foreign gun team! Leave the fuse one foot and five inches, hold it down and don’t let the fire be extinguished! Listen to everyone, the enemy is in the Honen Temple! They want to rebel and kill the Lord of the Right Mansion.’ After the matter was explained, Guangxiu solemnly reminded: ‘So, everyone should do their best to rescue the Lord of the Right Mansion, and not let the enemy succeed!’

Speaking of this, Guangxiu looked at the generals. ‘Everyone, time is tight, everyone starts to act right away!’

(Monkey! You can wait and see. No matter what method you use, I, Niangxiu, will not make you rebel successfully!)

Just as the Akihito Army stepped up its pace toward Kyoto, outside the city of Takamatsu, the tense and a little serene atmosphere...

‘How was the interview with him?’ Hideyoshi asked people.

‘Basically all finalized, just wait for the generals of both sides to agree.’

'Um.'

'But doesn't the lord disagree, brother?' Xiuchang asked.

‘…’ Hideyoshi lowered her head and said nothing, turning around to look at the night sky.

‘Will it be a good weather tomorrow? Koichiro?’ Hideyoshi suddenly broke the silence and asked.

‘Ah? What?’ Xiuchang was a little overwhelmed.

‘Look, the clouds tonight are so thick that they cover up my dear Miss Yue!’ Hideyoshi seems to be in a good mood.

‘Um…’ couldn’t guess what my brother was going to say, Xiuchang had to respond vaguely.

‘I said, will these clouds blind our hearts?’

‘…’

After seeing Xiu's long answer, Hideyoshi continued, "Do you know what military operations are most suitable for on dark and windy nights?" Hideyoshi turned around and looked at her brother.

‘It’s…night attack!’

'Well……'

Perhaps because of drinking a lot of alcohol, Nobunaga actually started to burp. ‘Ano, uh.’ Nobunaga was so angry that he said, ‘I think you, uh, go to bed first. There is, uh, just Ranmaru is here.’ ‘Yes.’ Nonghi responded and walked straight toward the room.

Shortly after Nohime left, Nobunaga felt sleepy and called Ranmaru, who had been guarding the corridor. ‘Alan, uh.’ Nobunaga rubbed his eyes: ‘I want to sleep, help me into the room, uh.’

‘Yes, sir.’

Ranmaru approached Nobunaga and looked at him sleepy, drunkenly, and unpreparedly, a smile appeared on his face.

(It depends on how long you, the right minister, can live. When you put your hand on my shoulder, it will be your death!)

Thinking of this, Lanmaru touched the short knife around his waist with his hand.

(Brother, I'll depend on you later!)

He pulled Nobunaga's right hand and looked at Nobunaga's chest that was exposed because of his yukata. Only Nobunaga's heavy breathing sounds and his heartbeat were left in Ranmaru's ears.
