Akechi Mitsuhide hoped that Ishiyama Honganji Temple would speed up its hostility towards Oda Nobunaga, and wanted to bring Ashikaga Yoshiaki to Honganji Temple as a powerful ally. Honda Masanobu needed to be the thread in the middle.

After all, Akechi Mitsuhide is Noun-kun's cousin and a relative of Oda Nobunaga, and has a deep relationship with the Oda family. She cannot stab Oda Nobunaga openly in the back, but can only play with him secretly.

With a bitter look on Honda Masanobu's face, he knew that Akechi Mitsuhide called him over and talked so much that something bad must be done.

Akechi Mitsuhide's plan this time is basically a replica of the murder of Ashikaga Yoshiteru.

She herself hid behind the scenes to instigate and guide, so that due to the intensification of conflicts, various forces spontaneously formed a Nobunaga encirclement network and made things difficult for the Oda family.

Akechi Mitsuhide covered his mouth gracefully, revealing a pair of big watery eyes, and said to Honda Masanobu with a smile.

"Honda-hime, would you like to help me?"

Honda Masanobu secretly cursed viciously, but she had no choice but to follow Akechi Mitsuhide's baton and play a disgraceful role again.

If she dared to show any reluctance at this time, Akechi Mitsuhide would kill her immediately. She knew too much, either follow or die, there was no third way.

Honda Masanobu looked solemn, bowed and said.

"I am willing to serve you."

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes turned into moonlight smiles as he said.

"I knew that Hondaji would not let me down."

As she spoke, she gently pushed the tea soup placed on the corner of the table into the table, moving it in a little to prevent it from accidentally falling to the ground.

Honda Masanobu caught sight of this scene from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but twitch, pretending not to care, with a polite smile on his face.

Outside the tea room, Saito Rizo loosened his grip on the handle of the knife and waved to the people behind him. The group of people slowly pushed back and disappeared into the shadows silently.

———

Ashikaga and Oda are on the verge of breaking up, and Akechi Mitsuhide is ready to add fuel to the fire.

She was cautious and did not want to expose herself in front of others. She just wanted to stir up Ishiyama Honganji and rush out to embarrass Oda Nobunaga.

But in Sakai Port, there was someone more anxious than her.

Oda Nobunaga's calm stop made Lewis and Frois of Nanman Cult very uncomfortable.

In order to intensify the conflict between the Oda family and the Ishiyama Honganji Temple, the Nanman Sect has sacrificed a military expert from the Knights and even sacrificed the outstanding priest Peter and Bautista.
