Yiyin chuckled.

"Old cow, old cow, is my tender grass delicious?"

Maeda Toshiie was amused by Yoshigan's witty words and shook his head helplessly.

"The beauty of a saint is unparalleled in the world. It is like a dream to be able to compare with you. But I am afraid that you will dislike me for being old."

Yoshigage reached out and lifted Maeda Toshiie's chin with his index finger.

"Let me see, it's not old at all, it's just ripe. My Lijia is getting more and more flavorful."

Maeda Toshiie was shy on the face but sweet in the heart. He turned his head sideways, removed the sage's provocative fingers, suppressed the passion in his heart, and spoke seriously.

"Sage, I have something important to report."

Yiyin knew that she was shy, so he nodded and smiled.

"you say."

Maeda Toshiie took a deep breath to calm down, and then said solemnly.

"Before I came, Shibata Katsuie asked me to talk and hoped that I could transfer the title to Kanazawa Plain."

Yiyin raised his eyebrows.

"The Kanazawa Plain? The Kanazawa in the northern part of Kaga Country? The Kanazawa where the Oyama Gobo, the home of the Kaga Ichikou Sect, is located?

It’s interesting. Shibata Katsuie thought he was sure of the Kaga Kingdom and had already begun to think about the enfeoffment arrangement of the Kaga Kingdom.”

Maeda Toshiie sighed.

"His Majesty Oda is currently at Ishiyama, accepting the surrender of Master Xianjo of Honganji Temple."

Yiyin was stunned.

"Ishiyama Honganji Kaicheng surrendered? So soon?"

Maeda Toshiie smiled bitterly.

“Since Lord Akechi Mitsuhide took control of the Fushimi Castle system, the foreign aid of Ishiyama Honganji Temple has been eliminated one by one, and Lord Mingyoshi fell into an isolated and helpless situation at the beginning of the year.

Sakuma Nobumori led the Oda family, the Three Kingdoms and a half samurai family, and besieged Ishiyama for half a year. Because they could not take it for a long time, they were exiled by His Highness Oda.

The Oda retainers who participated in the battle were frightened, and under His Highness Oda's personal supervision of the battle, the offensive became even more fierce.

The Ishiyama Honganji Temple had no external aid and would be breached sooner or later. The master seemed to be panicking. Akechi Mitsuhide came to the scene at the right time to lobby, and finally an agreement was reached.

The Ichibuki clan gave up its hostile stance against the Oda family, withdrew from Ishiyama, and went to Kii Province to preach in Saginori, no longer participating in secular affairs.

His Highness Oda has agreed to this condition, and both parties are currently in Shishan to coordinate the surrender matters."

Yiyin took out a breath and shook his head.

"This Akechi Mitsuhide, I really don't know what she wants to do. When I go back, I have to give her a good beating."

Maeda Toshiie said.

"Akechi Mitsuhide gave me a lot of support during the Hokurikudo war. I think she also stood for the Fushimi Castle system and coordinated for His Highness Oda."

Yiyin glanced at Tian Lijia in front of him.

"Okay, I know you are a good person and don't want to offend anyone. But Mitsuhide Akechi...you are not in Kinki, so you don't know how vicious she is.

I'm not afraid that she will help Oda Nobunaga, I'm afraid that she will help overtly but secretly..."

In the middle of speaking, Yiyin shook his head.

Oda Nobunaga is not Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and he is not so easily tricked to death by Akechi Mitsuhide.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru seemed domineering, but in fact he was a bit naive. Mitsuhide Akechi secretly manipulated him and easily stabbed Ashikaga Yoshiteru to death with the knife of the Miyoshi trio.

But Oda Nobunaga was different.

Oda Nobunaga was not valued by her parents since she was a child, and her position was even more unstable after she succeeded to the throne. She seemed arrogant and surly, but in fact she was very careful and meticulous in her work.

Akechi Mitsuhide wanted to repeat his old trick and find a knife to stab Oda Nobunaga to death, but he was afraid it would be impossible.

In Yoshigan's heart, Mitsuhide Akechi is good at conspiracy and can always find a scapegoat to complete his schemes.

However, Yiyin always ignored one thing because of Mitsuhide Akechi's cunningness, that is, Mitsuhide Akechi was actually a martyr who did not care about his own interests.

When it comes time to sacrifice himself, Akechi Mitsuhide, a counselor who seems to care about his life, can actually fly into the flames without hesitation.

It was this cognitive bias that led Yoshigan to underestimate Akechi Mitsuhide's threat to Oda Nobunaga, which ultimately led to a catastrophe.
