Hashiba Hideyoshi actually knew very well that the witness was telling the truth. But why did she get involved in this mess? Just because of these idiots from the shogunate who looked down on her?

From her personal point of view, every one of these power-hungry Hime warriors from the shogunate's security team who want to climb up the ranks by spreading rumors should be killed.

When Yukino Takada committed a murder, Hideyoshi Hashiba secretly claimed that he was quick. He didn't applaud? It was just because his identity made it difficult for him to speak out.

Oda Nobunaga and Ashikaga Yoshiaki have reached a tacit understanding, and Hideyoshi Hideyoshi would not dare to disobey Oda Nobunaga even if his heart was more inclined to Yoshigan Shiba.

These shogunate warriors look down on themselves and want to take advantage of them. Stop dreaming.

Hideyoshi Hashiba showed a sincere smile on his face, bowed and said.

"I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you now."

After saying that, she turned around and left with Takenaka Shigeharu.

Ueno looked at her back and spat.

"What a despicable thing, you really take yourself seriously."

Taiguan glared at her and cursed.

"Shut up and say less."

Hideyoshi Hashiba kept a smile on his face, and left quickly as if he hadn't heard.

Yagyu mother and daughter also don’t want to get involved in the petty discord between the shogunate and Oda, Yagyu Munenomi said.

"Then I'll take my leave, mother. We'll never see you again."

Yagyu Soyan's eyes were a little sad, and she was relieved to see her daughter being smart and decisive.

"Go ahead."

The two of them parted ways, and everyone reported to their masters.

Ueno was still cursing, but Otate grabbed her and said solemnly.

"Don't go home for the next few days, gather people together and find a place to take shelter."

Ueno was stunned for a moment and asked.

"What's the meaning?"

The corners of Taiguan's eyes twitched.

"Do you think this is over? Do you still remember the bloody case of the Gosho sword room competition? Takada Yukino is a madman, do you think she will stop after killing Lord Matsuda?

Please carefully read the charges on the Tenchu ​​paper. None of Master Matsuda’s charges can be placed on you and me!"

Ueno took a breath and nodded.

"I'll listen to you."

Tofukuji Temple Garden.

Hashiba Hideyoshi hurriedly walked to where Oda Nobunaga was, led by the mother-in-laws. He met two people in front of him, and the leader turned out to be Niwa Nagahide.

"Niwa-sama!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi was so excited that he stepped forward and bowed, and Takenaka Shigeharu behind her followed suit.

Niwa Nagahide didn't expect to meet Hideyoshi Hashiba, so he smiled slightly and bowed in return.

"How did you come?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba said.

"A big thing happened in Kyoto, and I was about to report it to the main hall."

Niwa Nagahide nodded unnaturally and said.

"Then go quickly."

Hideyoshi Hashiba closed his mouth in embarrassment, smiled and bowed before leaving.

The person behind Niwa Nagahide slightly avoided Hideyoshi's sight, bowed, and left together with Niwa Nagahide.

Hashiba Hideyoshi happily continued to follow the women in uniform, then stood back a little and said to Takenaka Shigeharu.

"There's something wrong with Niwa-sama. She doesn't care about what happens in Kyoto at all. It's like she is deliberately avoiding me."

Takenaka Shigeharu said softly.

"The person behind her is Wada Weichang's daughter, Wada Weichang."

Hideyoshi Hashiba's eyes widened in disbelief.

Wada Weimasa was the main promoter of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's visit to Luka and had great influence among Ashikaga retainers. Her daughter secretly came to see Oda Nobunaga?

Remembering that Niwa Nagahide had been responsible for comforting Oda Nobunaga's old ministers of the Rokkaku family in Minami Omi, Hashiba Hideyoshi came back to his senses.

The Wada family used to be Rokkaku's retainers. During the honeymoon period of Ashikaga Yoshiteru and Rokkaku Sadeyori, Wada Wei changed his political position to serve Ashikaga Yoshiteru, which served as a communication bridge between the two parties.

Wada Weimasa's territory, Wada Castle, is located in Minami-Omi Koga County, not far from Iga Country. Her family is from a famous Minami-Omi family.

Wada Nobunaga defected to Oda Nobunaga?

Impossible, she made a big gamble on Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and it was the harvest period of the spring breeze. There was no reason to move closer to Oda Nobunaga at this time and use two boats.

The risk is too great and not worth it.

Or, was her daughter He Tian Weichang bribed?

Hashiba Hideyoshi remembered that Oda Nobunaga knew the situation inside the shogunate very well. Apparently someone was leaking information, and maybe it was not just Wada Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga was ambitious and willing to spend money. The Oda family's infiltration into the shogunate may have exceeded Hashiba Hideyoshi's expectations.

As he was about to reach the quiet room where Oda Nobunaga was, Hideyoshi Hashiba put his thoughts away.

Today's encounter was just an accident. She didn't need to know what Niwa Nagahide was doing, she just needed to do her part.

Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

———

Hashiba Hideyoshi carefully brought Takenaka Shigeharu inside to salute. With many years of experience in getting along with him, she was keenly aware that Oda Nobunaga was in a bad mood.

Oda Nobunaga tapped the document and said impatiently.

"What are you doing here? What happened?

Are you capable of handling all the chores in Kyoto? Do I need someone else to handle it?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba laughed twice, and Oda Nobunaga was in a worse mood than she imagined.

Seeing her cowering, Oda Nobunaga became even more unhappy and smashed the paper fan in his hand on the tatami, making a crackling sound.

"How come I have raised a bunch of careless things like you? You only know how to eat and drink, but don't know how to do anything!

Do you also want to imitate those rubbish from the shogunate? Be a worm in the rice, be a beetle in the country, they are just some rotten goods who fail to achieve anything but fail more than they do!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi somewhat understood.

Oda Nobunaga was venting his anger. It was obvious that something happened to the shogunate, which made her feel extremely unhappy. And he happened to come over at this time, and bumped into the muzzle of her gun that she wanted to vent her anger on.

Hideyoshi Hashiba said cautiously.

"Master Hall, you know me, but I never dare to slack off."

Oda Nobunaga sneered.

"Of course you don't dare! What's your origin? What's their origin?

These bitches! These bastards!

Do you know what Ise Sadakya wants to do at the shogunate council meeting today? She wants to act as a matchmaker for Hosokawa Fujitaka, and she wants to force Kenshin Lord to marry this playboy from the Hosokawa family!"

Hideyoshi Hashiba felt his head pounding, and his expression suddenly froze.

Shiba Yiyin... Is he getting married?

Oda Nobunaga frowned when he saw her lost her mind.

"What are you missing? The toad wants to eat swan meat! Hosokawa Fujitaka, ha.

This piece of shit, Ise Sadakyo, was involved in the conspiracy to kill the ancestors before, and now he wants to take action against Kenshin again!

To be too old to die is to be a thief, this shameless old thief!"

Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he didn't notice anything strange about Hideyoshi Hashiba.

She agreed to help Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and wanted to show Yoshigan Shiba some color, so as to heal her shame of being despised by Yoshigan Shiba after she expressed her love before.

Who knows, her move actually contributed to the strength of Ashikaga Yoshiaki. Ise Sadakyu forced the palace to go to the council, and almost made the matter of Yoshigan Shiba remarrying Fujitaka Hosokawa finalized at a public level.

After learning what happened at the council meeting from Wada Nobunaga, Oda Nobunaga was shocked, angry, and still frightened.

That old bastard Ise Sadakyo, how did she come up with such a sinister idea?

Oda Nobunaga's eyes turned red when he thought of how he almost helped Hosokawa Fujitaka marry Shiba Yoshigan.
