After a while, Akechi Mitsuhide let out a complicated sigh.
"The saint... treated me so kindly... I'm really flattered..."
Hosokawa Fujitaka couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"Don't think that you are the only smart person in the world. What you do can't be hidden from the saint's eyes. It's just that he didn't expect that you would go so crazy and go so far."
Akechi Mitsuhide stared at the letter on the tatami and shook his head.
"Is this Maeda Toshiie's idea? It's a pity that I can't accept it. I can't continue to shamelessly cause trouble for the saint.
If I passed the test so easily, how should Nizi Yukimori explain it? How should Oda retainers explain it?
Killing my mother and taking my daughter, to continue the glory of my wise descendant, I never thought it would be this result.
I don't need a saint to help me, pity me, I should be the one to help him achieve great things."
Hosokawa Fujitaka sneered.
"Have you caused enough trouble to the saint? Why are you pretending to be ashamed and guilty now?
You have always gone your own way and been shameless. When have you ever considered the feelings of others? Even if you are a saint, haven't you fooled me around?
The saint wants you to live, and wants you to protect Qi Qi Wan and cultivate it carefully. Don’t you understand the meaning of this?
It's easy to want to die, but it's hard to live with a lot of contempt. This is the punishment the saint gives you, and it's also his expectation for you.
Didn't you say that you are loyal to the saint? Then prove it to me, continue to live for him, and don't let down his heart."
Thinking of Akechi Mitsuhide's behavior at this moment, Hosokawa Fujitaka felt extremely angry.
This is how the grandson led himself into a trap back then, making himself obsessed with the saint and reluctant to leave him, and finally stumbled into what he is today.
Although the result is good, the process of being deceived is really ugly, which makes Hosokawa Fujitakasai embarrassed.
But no matter what, Hosokawa Fujitaka does not want Akechi Mitsuhide to die, but hopes that she will be strong enough to survive.
Maeda Toshiie gave Sage an idea that no one expected, and he wanted to hand over Miracle Maru to her mother-killing enemy to raise him.
The fight between the Shiba Goddess finally ended with the identity of the adoptive mother and daughter, which can be regarded as the best outcome so far.
Even a blind man could see the saint's desire for the Shiba Goddess to unite as one, so he forced Nizi Yukimori and Oda retainers to force a way for Mitsuhide Akechi to survive.
This is also the best result for Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Akechi Mitsuhide miscarried a god, but picked up another god, allowing the Akechi family to continue to be a god.
Hosokawa Fujitaka's desperate support deepened the alliance between Hosokawa Akechi and the two Shiba Goddess, which was more beneficial to the Izumi-Hosokawa family's future position in the Shiba Goddess group.
Therefore, she must persuade Akechi Mitsuhide to accept Maeda Toshiie's kindness.
Akechi Mitsuhide naturally understands Hosokawa Fujitaka's thoughts. No one understands Hosokawa Fujitaka's evil intentions better than her.
If Hosokawa Fujitaka hadn't been deeply in love and had a deep-rooted love for the saint and couldn't extricate himself, Akechi Mitsuhide would definitely have died in Yamazaki this time.
The Ashikaga shogunate was weakened, and the shoguns, three governors, and four other prominent shogunate families were in worse shape than the other. Only the Hosokawa branch of the Izumi-Hosokawa family was prosperous.
This ability to sit on the wall and watch the wind is really amazing.
Without the saint, Hosokawa Fujitaka would definitely sell Akechi Mitsuhide without blinking an eye and make a reasonable political deal with Hashiba Hideyoshi.
Akechi Mitsuhide smiled, picked up the letter from Maeda Toshiie, and sighed.
"There is a saying in heaven that if the king wants his ministers to die, they will have to die. Today the saint wants me to live, so naturally I have to be obedient and live well.
It’s just that the saint’s prejudice against me will become even more serious, and it’s impossible for him to let me do anything for the time being.”
Hosokawa Fujitaka looked disgusted, could Mitsuhide Akechi really say this?
The sage believed in Mitsuhide Akechi for the first time. She planned a game and killed Ashikaga Yoshiteru, causing chaos in Kinki, and the sage hurried back.
The saint believed in Akechi Mitsuhide for the second time. The grandson stopped acting and marched directly into Kyoto with his troops, forcing Oda Nobunaga to burn himself in Honnoji Temple. The saint hurried back again.
As the saying goes, there are only three things that can happen.
No matter how big the saint's heart is, he would not dare to hand over any real power to the bastard Akechi Mitsuhide. Who knows what earth-shattering trouble this grandson will cause next time?
Unlike Hosokawa Fujitaka, Akechi Mitsuhide is calmer at the moment.
She doesn't care about power and status, she just likes to use the power given by the saint to help him remove the stumbling blocks in his struggle for the world.
Akechi Mitsuhide is not doing nothing these days as he is recuperating in Shoryuji Castle. She has also heard a little bit about the chaos in the Oda family.
Hashiba Hideyoshi... this Oda retainer whom Akechi Mitsuhide once used, gave Akechi Mitsuhide a big surprise this time, and almost made Akechi Mitsuhide happy to death.
Akechi Mitsuhide has a feeling.
If the saint was not prepared to use force to suppress the Oda family, then the person who finally succeeded in usurping the power of the Oda family and became the successor of Oda Nobunaga was Hashiba Hideyoshi, who came from a humble background.
Whether it was provoking the Southern Barbarians, disrupting the economy of Sakai Port, or negotiating peace with the Maori family, or making a great turn in the Western Kingdom, Hashiba Hideyoshi has demonstrated superhuman adaptability.
The traditional old martial arts masters of the Oda family could not defeat Hashiba Hideyoshi who was good at adapting.
The Sibo family has a lot of internal problems, and the saint is a soft-hearted person who is not willing to deal with those around him.
Hashiba Hideyoshi can provoke Nizi Yukimori to fight Akechi Mitsuhide, and he can repeat his same tactics in the future and continue to stir up internal conflicts in the Shiba family.
The saint's style was too upright, and he could not cope with Hashiba Hideyoshi's extravagant moves. To defeat Hashiba Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide's poisonous tactics were indispensable.
Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes turned to Maeda Toshiie's letters, and his turbulent mind these days finally calmed down.
Don’t ask for life, don’t ask for death, just continue to live for the saint, and patiently wait for the next opportunity for the saint to activate yourself.
Also... Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes became a little excited... Raising Miracle Maru...
That night at Honnoji Temple, Oda Nobunaga was on top of the wall, and Akechi Mitsuhide was under the wall. Both suffered losses, but neither one was left behind.
The Miraculous Pill that Akechi Mitsuhide once wanted to eradicate finally fell into her hands, but a wonderful chemical reaction occurred in her mind.
Pregnancy produces too much estrogen. After the miscarriage, Akechi Mitsuhide only missed his dead child for one night, and for the next dozens of days, he focused on Oda Nobunaga's Miraculous Pills.
At this moment, Akechi Mitsuhide, she was more familiar with the Miracle Pill than her own child, and the images of the two babies were in her heart, finally becoming one.
The joy of regaining something, and the maternal love inspired by excess estrogen, made Akechi Mitsuhide extremely confused at the moment.
Wonderful Pill..My Wonderful Pill..Is she my Wonderful Pill..
