The Noo Plain is the foundation for the rise of the Oda family and cannot be lost. If the Tokugawa family did not stop the Takeda family's invasion, the Oda family would definitely be very upset.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's low profile was because she needed Oda Nobunaga's help to resist the Takeda family's soldiers. But Oda Nobunaga also needed Tokugawa Ieyasu to look after her, so that she could go deep into Konki with peace of mind.

The covenant between the two parties was to get what they needed. Oda Nobunaga thought he was powerful and tried every means to force Tokugawa Ieyasu into a subsidiary. This was done in a disgraceful and despicable way.

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't want to quarrel with each other, so he used the Mikawa Princess samurai to cause trouble, and used Honda Tadakatsu's words to show the unyieldingness of the Tokugawa family.

Niwa Nagahide hoped that Oda Nobunaga would accept it as soon as he could, and not push people too hard. It would not be good for both parties if he really forced Tokugawa Ieyasu into despair.

Oda Nobunaga thought for a while and suddenly burst into laughter.

"This Takechiyo is interesting and interesting. Since she gives me such face, then I can't continue to embarrass her.

Miwu Niang, go to Takechiyo and speak for me. The Oda family and the Tokugawa family are allies, not monarchs and ministers. It is up to her to decide on the matter of taking it back, and it is not convenient for me to interfere.

Hideyoshi, please put all the Tokugawa warriors back. If my guess is correct, the warriors who committed the crime should be the same people who received my reward during the Battle of Rokkaku.

Let them return the reward and treat it as a fine, and this matter ends here!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Oda Nobunaga found that he was still reluctant to accept Tokugawa Ieyasu for a while, and then quickly made a choice.

She also needs Oda Tokugawa's alliance. Since she can't win over the Tokugawa family, she should continue to be a good ally.

As long as the power of the Oda family continues to expand, the strength of the two sides will become increasingly unbalanced. When the day comes that a qualitative change occurs, Oda Nobunaga will make Tokugawa Ieyasu kneel in front of him in sincerity.

The world will be hers sooner or later, so there is no need to rush for a mere Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu walked out of Tofukuji Temple and took a deep breath.

Honda Tadakatsu said with a smile.

"Your Highness, how did I behave?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at her and said.

"Honda Tadakatsu made rude remarks and contradicted His Highness Oda, and was punished by forfeiture of one year's salary."

"ah???"

Honda Tadakatsu was stunned, and before he could recover, Tokugawa Ieyasu said again.

"Honda Tadakatsu participated in the Battle of Shangluo and made outstanding achievements. He was awarded Zhixing three hundred stones."

After saying that, Tokugawa Ieyasu walked straight forward, and Honda Tadakatsu followed him with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Your Highness, where else do you want to go tomorrow? Do you want to continue taking me there?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu's handsome face appeared in his mind, and he shook his head.

"I won't take you there."

Honda Tadakatsu curled his lips and made a sound.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was always frugal, and the reward of three hundred stone for Tomoyo was rare. Honda Tadakatsu still wanted to earn more, but unfortunately his master did not give him a chance.

The next day, in the tea room of Sibo Mansion.

Yoshigan Shiba and the visiting Tokugawa Ieyasu enjoyed the tea ceremony together.

After the tea was served, the tea man retreated. Yoshigan picked up the tea soup and held it in his hands, smelling the aroma of matcha. He was not used to drinking matcha, but the smell was fine.

Tokugawa Ieyasu took a respectful sip, put down the tea soup, and said.

"Good tea. The tea makers at Odaisho are really extraordinary. There is no such good craftsmanship in Mikawa."

Yiyin smiled and said nothing, talking nonsense.

Miyoshi came to Luo, and Kyoto was in chaos. Some famous tea drinkers ran to Sakai Port and Ichijogani Castle to take refuge.

This tea man was a newcomer whom Yoshigan randomly recruited from the castle town to decorate the tea room after receiving a favor from Tokugawa Ieyasu. He was of a p-level.

But Tokugawa Ieyasu's sudden visit also surprised Yoshigan, and he had to treat it with caution.

The alliance between Oda Tokugawa and Maeda Toshiie, led by Owari Shiba, was the bridge. Speaking of which, Yoshihiro Shiba also had a favor.

However, the secret rivalry between Yoshigan Shiba and Nobunaga Oda when they were at Kamikawa could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. When the shogunate was reestablished, some matters were immediately put on the table for a fight.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, a close ally of Oda Nobunaga, suddenly sent a greeting message yesterday and wanted to visit him. Yoshihiro Saba also had doubts.

What does it mean for her to come?

Yoshigan Shiba understood the situation on the Tokaido Road, and he knew very well that it was impossible for the Tokugawa family to desert the Oda family and join the Shiba family.

If the Takeda family is not eliminated, the Tokugawa family will be firmly tied to Oda Nobunaga's chariot.

Yoshigan was also afraid of the Tiger of Kai who worshiped his grandson, let alone Tokugawa Ieyasu, who faced the threat of the Takeda family directly.

Tokugawa Ieyasu should know very well that Oda Nobunaga has the same interests as her in the strategy of fighting against the Takeda family. The Oda family has a stone of two million, which is the best helper for the Tokugawa family back to back.

Yoshigan did not expect Tokugawa Ieyasu to abandon Oda Nobunaga and join him. So what did she do to him at this sensitive moment when the shogunate was re-established?

There was silence in the tea room, and the tea masters retreated, leaving only the two masters drinking.

After a long while, Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed to Yoshigan Shiba and said.

"Otaisuo, I have to leave."

Yiyin's eyes narrowed and he asked.

"Your Majesty Tokugawa, what is this?"

Tokugawa Ieyasu said sincerely.

"Sanhao was defeated, and the matter in Kyoto was settled. I have also been away from my skills for a long time, and my heart is concerned about family affairs.

This time, I actually want to say goodbye to you."

Yoshigan looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu's sincere face and recalled in his mind the first time the two met.

At that time, she was still Oda Nobunaga's follower, and was dragged to the Owari Shiba Guardian Center to play with him. Oda Nobunaga was unscrupulous, but she was panicked, fearing that his secret travel would be exposed.

Yiyin smiled slightly, the little loli back then had finally grown up.
