The next day. Togoro picks up the exhortation, and before he has even finished reading it, he is astonished. He panicked and went to Iwakuma’s main residence in Ni-no-Kido.
“This is what is happening. If we don’t act quickly, tie up the peasants and prevent the disaster before it happens, it will be a disaster. Please see this.”
I took out a letter from his pocket and opened it. But Iwakuma didn’t look closely,
“I was also surprised to find the same letter as this one. This is it.”
And when I take it out and compare it, the wording is exactly the same. Togoro sighed involuntarily,
“If the side’s secret communication is successful and there are ambitious allies, it’s only a matter of time before this castle falls. I can’t stay like this. Let’s go. Let’s report together.”
While saying that, Iwakuma stopped him from standing up,
“Tsumadate-san, please wait a minute. I have something I want you to ask me.”
I forcibly restrained him and made him sit down.
When I looked around, there was not a single person, but I looked back and forth like a small bird picking food, pressed the fan to my mouth, and brought my chin close to Togoro’s ear.
“Since I got this secret letter, I’ve been paying attention to the actions of the people around me. The only people here who have a heartfelt desire to give up this castle are me and you.” So the people have already decided to kill you and me to make a name for themselves.Somebody just whispered to me that a single pillar can’t hold up a big house that’s about to collapse. I can’t stand to be killed by the people because of my poor sense of duty.If I make up my mind and stab Sadakane Yamashita to death, and surrender to the Satomi army with the people in the castle, I will avenge the people’s grudges. Not only will you be able to escape death by unraveling it, but you can also reward yourself as you please, and you will surely be able to pass on its glory to your descendants.
he asked.
Togoro was stunned,
“What are you talking about? Did you go crazy? When you were serving the Jinyo family, you were a horse caretaker, but my lord made it a priority for you and Sabizuka to get ahead in the world. I am Yamashita Sadakane-sama’s private army.Even though he has been kind to me since he was an old retainer of the Jinyo family, I do not return the favor, and I am repaying him with revenge. If you do, you will stray from the path of people.If you spare your life, you are a coward.If you disobey your master, you are a traitor.What more can I say?I will not forgive you depending on the circumstances.”
Excitedly, I got on his knees and put my hand on the hilt of his sword.
But Donpei laughed coldly without making a fuss,
“Loyalty also depends on the master. Isn’t that a stupid thing to say? The reason why Sadakane is defeated now is to repay the enemy of the original master. Then you can’t call it a lord killer. You don’t know. It may not be possible, but with the help of Bokuhei and Mukuzo, who have been resentful of themselves for a long time, Sadakane has meticulously planned it out, and I will tell you the truth about how he managed to avenge his lord. It was cloudy in the morning, and it was still cold even in summer.It was not the bird that was being chased by the falcon in the fallen leaves, but the horse that Mitsuhiro-sama was riding fell down. He held it out to his master and said, I'll wait for a replacement horse to come.'' Naturally, Bokuhei and Mukuzo, who saw the white horse from afar, assumed thatSadakane has come.” As soon as the target was approaching, Mitsuhiro-sama was shot through the chest and fell from his horse.To tell the truth, it was the day before.Sadakane secretly summoned me and said,
“There are secret operations like this. Please lend me your hand and poison Mitsuhiro-sama’s horse on the morning of the hunt tomorrow. I’ll take you seriously when things go well. This is an advance payment.』
and was given a lot of gold and goods.”
go on to say,
“I thought it was outrageous, but over there is an old retainer and I am a lowly. There is no way I can compete with power. I had no choice but to kill a horse with poison that day.In a way, Yamashita’s receipt of these two counties was like I let Sadakane take it.Because of this achievement, I’m now an old retainer. However, no matter how important the position is, I don’t feel indebted at all.The only two people who know about this are Shetage and Sabizuka, but they are already gone.Nowadays. It’s just you.There’s more, Mr. Tsumadate.I’ve always noticed that you’ve been plagued by unrequited love for your wife for the past few months. You can kill that person, Tama. Then as a reward, it will be easy to make Tamazusa your wife.Would you like to cooperate with me?”
I continue to persuasion.
