Looking at Sanji who were complimenting each other in a harmonious atmosphere, Yiyin sighed secretly.

People's hearts are unpredictable and cannot withstand temptation. The road is long and Yiyin doesn't know who will insist on following him to the end, but he means what he says.

If Ninagawa Makoyo and Hatakeyama Takamasa can follow to the end, his promise will definitely be fulfilled. But I don’t know if they will jump off the train midway.

Yoshigan sat at the top and silently watched the three people chatting intimately. Akechi Mitsuhide glanced back inadvertently and smiled at him.

He rolled his eyes at Mitsuhide Akechi, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip to calm down his uneasiness.

———

What will the future be like? Is there a direct relationship between your future and your own efforts?

It is said that times make heroes and heroines. In fact, the pigs in the wind do not know that they are standing in the wind.

Whether you live in chaos or work hard to make progress, you can't see the future clearly. You can only comfort yourself, three points depends on hard work, and seven points is God's will.

Precisely because the future is unpredictable, people who are optimistic and full of fighting spirit will sometimes feel confused.

Hideyoshi Hashiba fell into deep self-doubt after returning from Tofukuji Temple.

She tossed and turned all night, and Takenaka Shigeharu, who came to report, saw her like this and asked.

"My lord, didn't you get a good rest last night?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi was in a daze and asked casually.

"Hime Takenaka, you come from a famous family. You once had a fortune of thousands of stones, and you can be called a great name. Over the years, have you ever regretted following me, a person with a fortune of thousands of stones?

In fact...if you are willing to go back to the main hall, with your talent, the main hall will definitely put you to good use.

The Oda family business is booming, and it’s only a matter of time before you regain your status as a Manseki Daimyo.”

Takenaka Shigeharu frowned and looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba, who looked confused.

Regarding her unwillingness to serve Oda Nobunaga, the two of them had already concluded. When Hashiba Hideyoshi mentioned this matter at this time, he was not doubting her loyalty, but Hashiba Hideyoshi himself.

Why did Hideyoshi Hashiba, who had always worked hard and strived for the top, suddenly become worried about gains and losses?

Takenaka Shigeharu pondered for a while and asked.

"My Lord, you went to Tofukuji Temple yesterday to meet with the main hall. Didn't it go well?"

Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled bitterly. Takenaka Shigeharu was too smart to answer her boring questions at all. He made the key point clear in one sentence.

Hashiba Hideyoshi took a deep breath and didn't know what to say to Takenaka Shigeharu.

Hideyoshi Hideyoshi, who was born as a servant of Oda Nobunaga and has always been deeply in awe of Oda Nobunaga, never thought that one day he would actually hate Oda Nobunaga.

It was Oda Nobunaga who gave her everything and promoted her from a servant to a thousand-stone field.

Although this care comes from utilization and her own efforts, it is undeniable that without Oda Nobunaga, there would be no Hideyoshi Hashiba.

Oda Nobunaga was kind to her.

Even at the time of Owari, Oda Nobunaga made her the representative of the new clan and used it as a shield to divert the hostility of the Oda retainers group.

Hashiba Hideyoshi only had fear in his heart, and he did not dare to resent, let alone have the idea of ​​resisting Oda Nobunaga.

It wasn't until Takenaka Shigeharu stepped forward and offered advice in front of Oda Nobunaga that Hideyoshi's use value was confirmed again, and she was able to continue to be cared for by Oda Nobunaga to this day.

Hideyoshi Hashiba understood very well that in this world, efforts will not be rewarded, and most people's efforts are just stepping stones for others.

She has always been very grateful and worked conscientiously. Even if she harbored unspoken wishful thinking, she only used it as a motivation to make progress.

But when she saw Shiba Yoshigan's attitude of being willing to accept humiliation before Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi's mentality suddenly collapsed.

Hideyoshi Hashiba opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.

Tell Takenaka Shigeharu that you hate Oda Nobunaga? Tell Takenaka Shigeharu that you hate Oda Nobunaga for humiliating Shiba Yoshigan? Tell Takenaka Shigeharu that you want to get Shiba Yoshigan?

Hashiba Hideyoshi felt bitter, Takenaka Shigeharu must have thought he was crazy, right?

I have never seen Hashiba Hideyoshi so confused and depressed. Takenaka Shigeharu seemed to feel something.

Takenaka Shigeharu chose to follow Hideyoshi Hashiba because he saw a possibility in her.

This petite woman, who was nicknamed a monkey by Oda Nobunaga, has a strong personal charm.

For some unknown reason, she was almost masochistic in trying to make progress. It was like there was an invisible whip whipping behind her, or she was chasing after something.

Her eyes were filled with the desire for success, and her body, which was shorter than the average Ji warrior, burst out with frightening power.

This made Takenaka Shigeharu unable to help but approach her, help her, and yearn for the possibilities of the future. But today, Hideyoshi Hashiba's body seems to have lost that light and has become mediocre.

Takenaka Shigeharu looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba and said slowly.

"When I was kicked out of Mino Country, I was once a genius strategist praised by the Mino family, but I was forced to become a lost dog.

I went to Owari in a fit of enthusiasm, thinking that I could be put into great use by the main hall. Who knew, but the main hall regarded me as a dispensable force and left me to a man with a background of servants?

At that time, I was very angry, felt humiliated, and felt like a complete loser."

Hashiba Hideyoshi trembled and looked at Takenaka Shigeharu, who was both a teacher and a friend. Takenaka Shigeharu smiled at her and continued.

"But now, I am very grateful, grateful that we met.

I, Takenaka Shigeharu, the genius strategist of Mino. My master should not be an ordinary person! I will assist her to achieve a great career!

Her success and brilliance will make those idiots who once laughed at me shut up forever!"

Takenaka Shigeharu's impassioned speech made Hideyoshi's eyes heat up and his vision gradually blurred.

She murmured to herself.

"Can I really do this?"

Takenaka Shigeharu stepped forward and held Hashiba Hideyoshi's slightly trembling palm, and said firmly.

"We will succeed!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried. Her tears turned into two tear stains and dripped down her cheeks.

“I hate her..I hate her!

I hate that she humiliated the one I love, and I hate that I can only watch her humiliate the one I love!

I hate you so much, Takezakahime, I really hate you so much!"

Takenaka Shigeharu's face straightened, and she remembered that Odaisho had been to Tofukuji Temple yesterday.

She took a deep look at Hashiba Hideyoshi who was crying and venting, and finally understood what she had been chasing all these years.

She is really brave.

If it hadn't been for the loss of his heart today, Hashiba Hideyoshi would never have told anyone about his secret crush on Shiba Yoshigan.

Born as a servant, she had an unforgettable sense of inferiority and did not want anyone to know about it. The story of the toad wanting to eat swan meat was not funny at all to the toad.

Hashiba Hideyoshi was uneasy, thinking that the feelings he couldn't help but express would make Takenaka Shigeharu look down on him, and even contemplate quitting.

Who would have thought that Takenaka Shigeharu actually laughed out loud. Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned for a moment and said in anger.

"Is it so funny!"

Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head and said.

"No, I am happy, really happy."

Hashiba Hideyoshi couldn't care less about his anger, his mind couldn't turn around for a while, and he got stuck.

"Happy?"

Takenaka Shigeharu looked at her squarely with a serious face.

Grain shrimp

"My lord, do you think I would be willing to let the lord I choose serve as a vassal to others for the rest of my life?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Takenaka Shigeharu's serious eyes, and the hair on his body stood up.

Takenaka Shigeharu solemnly said.

"Oda Nobunaga acted very domineeringly. He had the talent to conquer the world, but he did not have the virtue to rule the world. The hegemony of the Oda family was ultimately in vain.

It is enough to lose the deer, and the whole world will chase it away.

Lord, today's world is a time of great contention. It is not yet known who will win."

Hashiba Hideyoshi was confused.

Takenaka Shigeharu had long been disloyal to the Oda family? If you think about it carefully, there were already signs.

Oda Nobunaga ignored Takenaka Shigeharu back then, and because of Takenaka Shigeharu's arrogant temperament, he felt humiliated. In the future, he would naturally make the Oda family unable to reach them, so that he could vent his hatred.

She resolutely refused Oda Nobunaga's solicitation and followed her to do a big business. She must have had the idea in her heart of letting herself take her place.

Hideyoshi Hashiba always advocated hard work and struggle, but she never thought about where her end point would be.

In Takenaka Shigeharu's heart, he had already decided on the end point. Only a great cause in the world would be worthy of Takenaka Shigeharu, a genius strategist, willing to assist him.

Hideyoshi Hashiba's heart turned over and over again.

No wonder Takenaka Shigeharu couldn't help but laugh when he heard about his resentment towards Oda Nobunaga. I'm afraid Takenaka Shigeharu already disliked his awe for Oda Nobunaga.
