General Ashikaga arrived at Ninomaru's residence, and the Miyoshi army inside and outside Nijo Castle was in chaos.

At this time, the sky was already dark. In the corner of Sannomaru, Takada Yukino was sweating coldly and walked out of the secret passage with gritted teeth.

She was trembling all over, as if she was seriously ill. The backlash of forcibly breaking through her limits brought her to the verge of physical collapse. Now she relies on perseverance to persevere.

Just when she was struggling to move her body, she was spotted by the patrolling Miyoshi Iehime Samurai, who shouted loudly.

"stop!"

The Hime Samurai came forward with the three accompanying Ashigaru and surrounded Takada Yukino with their spears.

Yukino tightened her grip on the knife and took a deep breath. Just when she was about to fight for her life, a shuriken suddenly appeared and pierced Samyoshihime's neck.

"who!"

The Hime Samurai who led the team was killed instantly. The three Ashigaru looked around in panic. Several black shadows took the opportunity to bully them and approached them, covering their mouths and cutting their throats.

Yukino looked at the dark figures whose enemies and friends were unknown, slowly drew out his sword, and one of them said anxiously.

"Master Takada, it's me."

She raised her hands and came closer. Under the dim sight, Yukino barely recognized her.

"Fujibayashi...sisters?"

"Hi, I'm Fujibayashi Muku."

Of course Yukino knew the twins, she was the head of the Shiba family. In theory, Yagyu Munenuki's Yagyu-gumi were still her subordinates.

Yukino Takada must know the leaders of the three groups of secret agents in Shiba's family, the Yagyu group, the middle group, and the military group. This is her responsibility.

Seeing that she recognized him, Fujibayashi breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Sir, Akechi Mitsuhide sent me to pick you up, please come with me."

Takada Yukino nodded and looked in the direction of Ninomaru Residence Hall.

"What about the general?"

Fujibayashi looked ugly and said.

"I just sneaked into the residence and found that the general had... unfortunately died.

The Three Good Army's situation is in chaos because of the general's death. Please follow me out of the city immediately."

Takada Yukino looked towards the residence, her expression obscured by the night.

"do you died.."

She slowly lowered her head, and Fujibayashi noticed that her shoulders were shaking slightly, as if she was crying.

"Sir? Are you okay?"

Takada Yukino shook his head and said coldly.

"Take me out of here, I promised her, I will leave alive."

He didn't understand what Takada Yukino was saying at all, but when he heard that she was willing to leave, Fujibayashi immediately ordered a genin to leave the city quickly, even though she couldn't stand on his back.

Takada Yukino was in a daze on the genin's back, the golden seal in her arms was touching her stomach, and she subconsciously clenched the Mikazuki Munechika in her hand.

———

There was chaos in Kyoto, and Mitsuteru Akechi planned to retreat to his own territory.

In the past, Shiba Yoshiyin was entrusted with the nearby Shiba Territory. Mitsuhide Akechi's intellectual property was Kita-Iga Shikakusho, and he also took charge of Shiba Ryosho Liuqiangoku in Hokuyamato.

This time, she was retreating to Northern Iga. Her Northern Iga territory was in Abai County of Iga Country, close to Yamashiro Country. Except for a few villages belonging to the Niki family, most of them were her territory.

Niki Yoshimasa took the initiative to give up the Iga guardianship. After reviving the family business, Shiba Yoshigan was very polite to the Niki family and did not govern these villages as the Iga guardian.

Akechi Mitsuhide has lived in Kyoto for most of the past two years and has not paid much attention to the construction of the territory. When she came back this time, she simply lived in the new village on the border so that she could keep an eye on the changes in Kyoto.

At this time, she met Fujibayashi Xing, who had just returned from Kyoto, in the residence hall and listened to her report.

"So, Odaisho is dead, Ashikaga Teru-kun is also dead?"

Akechi Mitsuhide looked calm, but Fujibayashi Anzu, who was sitting next to him, was very nervous and answered with his head down.

"Hi! I saw with my own eyes that the Odai ordered the Odai to pile firewood and light a fire, and then... His Highness Ashikaga Teru-kun ran into the palace..."

She lowered her head and spoke slurred words. Akechi Mitsuhide entrusted her with this treacherous task, which made her panic.

Although she had done many shameful things for Mitsuhide Akechi, attacking the Ashikaga General family was still far beyond her psychological endurance.

It's just that Fujibayashi has no way to refuse. She has already been deeply trapped and unable to escape from Mitsuhide Akechi's control.

After Akechi Mitsuhide got the answer he needed, he ignored Fujibayashi and waved his hand to ask her to leave.

Fujibayashi Xing hesitated, bowed and asked.

"Sir, after the Kyoto Incident, will the Lord come back from Kanto?"

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at her with a half-smile and nodded.

Fujibayashi Xing asked again.

"Then... Bai Di San Taifu will also come back?"

Her expression was twisted and she was gnashing her teeth. Just to avenge her mother and kill the bitch Momochi Santafu, she was dragged down step by step by Akechi Mitsuhide.

Akechi Mitsuhide glanced at her, lowered his head and continued to read his paperwork.

Fujibayashi Xing asked again.

"Sir, I have done everything for you, but what about the things you promised me?"

Akechi Mitsuhide raised his head and said doubtfully.

"Have I promised you anything?"

Fujibayashi was stunned. She wanted to say something, but suddenly she realized that Akechi Mitsuhide never seemed to agree to her request directly. Her face instantly turned pale and her body trembled slightly.

Akechi Mitsuhide gave her a cold look and said.

"You go out."

Teng Linxing walked out in despair, when suddenly there was a sound behind her.

"correct."

As if grasping a glimmer of hope, she eagerly looked back at Mitsuhide Akechi, only to see a pair of playful eyes.

"The Lord is coming back, and so is the Third Master of Baidi.

The Lord is furious about the Kyoto Incident, guess who he will let to find out the truth?"

Fujibayashi Xing's body was shaking more and more violently, like a sieve filtering rice bran.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked through the documents on the slips and said calmly.

"If I were you, I would never let Bai Di San Taifu catch me.

It is an unbearable shame and humiliation to let the enemy who killed your mother interrogate you and extract a confession through torture."

Fujibayashi Xing raised her hand tremblingly, pointing at Mitsuhide Akechi, and was speechless for a long time.

Her face turned from white to green, then from green to black, and finally she glared at Akechi Mitsuhide, gritted her teeth and left.

Saito Rizo walked out from behind Akechi Mitsuhide and asked with a solemn expression.

"Sir, did she discover me?"

"Of course, she is a Jonin of the Fujibayashi family after all, and she can smell the scent of you ambush soldiers with her nose."

"Do you want me to send someone to chase her and kill her?"

Akechi Mitsuhide shook his head and said.

"I asked you to lead an ambush just to scare her away. Fujibayashi Xing knows too much and must die, but not in my hands.

Let her go, Bai Di San Taifu will definitely catch her back. The inside story she knows is too horrifying, Bai Di San TaiFu will not leave her alive."

Saito Rizo hesitated.

"The third husband of Baiji caught her. Doesn't the Lord know that you are the mastermind of the Kyoto Incident?"

Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.

"I never thought of deceiving the Lord. Everything I did was for the Sibo family and the Lord.

The Shiba family cannot be tainted with a trace of injustice, Fujibayashi An must die. As for me? No matter what the master does to me, I will have no regrets."

Saito Rizo shook his head, becoming more and more confused about his master, what on earth was she doing? And what was she trying to do?

Akechi Mitsuhide smiled slightly.

Mitsuhide Akechi has rarely followed Yoshihide Akechi's strategy in recent times, and has encouraged all parties to join forces to launch a regicide. Yoshihide Shiba will be angry when he learns of this, but he will not kill Mitsuhide Akechi.

Because the plan of occupying the magpie's nest hidden deep in the two people's hearts needs Akechi Mitsuhide to complete, so someone must bear the lord's wrath.

Akechi Mitsuhide cannot attack the Fujibayashi sisters. She must show her loyalty to Shiba Yoshigan and allow her master to have a channel to learn the truth.

Afterwards, the Fujibayashi sisters will not feel good. Momochi Santao and her military group will definitely overwhelm the middle group and become the leader of the Shiba Ninjas.
