However, in the world of warring states, there are often things that cannot be hidden no matter how secrets are kept. A person who put his ear to the wall and found out about it ended up telling Sadakane Yamashita. Upon hearing this news, Sadakane did not make a fuss, but immediately gathered his subordinates and tried to arrest Bokuhei and Mukuzo. did.
On the other hand, Mitsuhiro, the lord of the country, was drowning in lecherous pleasures every night and his body weakened. As Tamazusa's knees are used as pillows and she spends the day without getting out of bed, Sadakane visits and talks to her. "It's already early summer. The fresh greenery of the fields and mountains is very beautiful, and the pheasants of Ochibanawate and the skylarks of Aomugi Village are gathering. I will accompany you, so let's go together." Invite. Tamazusa followed suit and recommended this as well, so Mitsuhiro sat up. "I haven't been out of the castle for a long time because I've been having a lot of trouble lately. But the advice I've been given may be good for my health, so let's start hunting early tomorrow morning. Get ready." It says.
Then he hesitated to return the package. “In recent years, the people are exhausted because of the increasing amount of hard work. Knowing this later without hindering your farming work will increase your popularity as a monarch. I speak eloquently. Mitsuhiro marveled, "What you're saying makes a lot of sense. This is what a chief retainer should be like. Then I'll leave it to you." With that said, Mitsuhiro reduced the number of attendants and had about nine close aides, including Shichiro Naco and Hyounai Amatsu, with him, and early in the morning Mitsuhiro had Mitsuhiro ride a gray horse and prepare a falcon with a dog. and left quietly.
And for Sadakane Yamashita, the time has come to carry out what he had planned for some time. The day before, I left the castle and called the mayors of Ochiha and Aomugi, "This time I'm on vacation and tomorrow I'm thinking of going somewhere and going falconry, so get ready." was notified. Therefore, the village chiefs immediately returned to the village and gathered the farmers to clean and maintain the roads. So Bokuhei and Mukuzo saw the opportunity, "A good opportunity has finally come around here. I'm sure we'll achieve our goal tomorrow." I quietly rejoiced and prepared my bow and arrows. In the middle of the night, I hid in a hill with deep summer grass in the northeast of the fallen leaves, and waited for Sadakane with the pine on my back.
When the rooster crowed and dawned, Mitsuhiro made preparations and left Takita Castle with his attendants from Naco and Amatsu, and a little later Sadakane Yamashita left on a white horse. Yamashita had tamed the horse's caretaker in advance, and had poisoned Mitsuhiro's horse feed. The horse that Mitsuhiro rides suddenly begins to suffer and collapse after walking about 1 km. When Naco and Amatsu rushed to Mitsuhiro and prepared a replacement horse, Sadakane Yamashita dashed out and landed in front of Mitsuhiro. "This time I was able to hide it, so I don't have much preparation. Waiting for a replacement horse will take time. Please use my horse for the time being." and draws the horse's rudder. Then Mitsuhiro's mood improved, "Then let's do it. You can rest here and come back as soon as your replacement horse arrives." I went out to Ochibanawate.
