Decaying Wood Line

Father will encourage me. If it's true, I can't help being reprimanded for immaturity... Not enough, I didn't think it would reach Father yet. I'm depressed because I failed once, unless, from the ministers' point of view, I rely on it. Father thinks of his next hand without moving even if he fails. If you have time to mourn your failure, think, yes, I felt like Father was telling me. Exactly. Otherwise, we cannot survive this turmoil.

"Xiaowei, you said you were murdered inside Inaya Mountain Castle by three West Mi-no people. So what happens to the house? Ando, Inari, the family, do you still crush them?

"Ha, Mikuro Oda is sending out soldiers. Already seven Far Mountains in Ena County, the Forest Three Left Guard of Kanayama Castle in Kew County, sent out soldiers according to it. If you crush the three houses of Ando, Inari, and the family and make the Oda family a vault, Mino's rule should be stable for a while, and Mitsuro's aim should be around it. I was wondering if you were right."

"Again?"

My father nodded.

"Mitsuro also looks painful"

Is it painful? I wonder what that means. Half of those who look around but nod, half of those who are surprised.

"Father, what does suffering mean?

When I inquired, my father broke my face.

"I knew beforehand that Mori Sangamen and Far Mountain Seven had sent out soldiers, that they were prepared. In other words, Mitsuro was going to kill three people from the beginning and consulted with Sangamen Mori and Seven Far Mountains. It would also be a buy of time to get the three people ready for the war, not just to alarm the three of them by pretending to be lost and inviting them to Inayama Castle several times. The three of us will have to prepare it secretly without ever knowing it."

"I see, I get it well. But I don't know that it's painful. What's that?"

My father is making me look ridiculous.

"Yagoro, is Mino only home to Sangamen Mori and Seven Far Mountains?

"Ah..."

My father raised his voice and laughed. And he went back to his true face.

"Most people in China are not being heard. I don't trust you. If you spoke, you might have divulged the plot to three people."

"I see."

"The Chinese thought that if strange rumors spread that they were not trusted, when might they be likened to the three of us? Your neck must be cold."

Right, you know what? I know exactly what it means to be told that my father was in a situation that was easy to adjust earlier. Not to encourage me, in fact, Mitsuro Oda is in a difficult situation. I couldn't see......

"Yagoro, what's next?

"Ha, I will tune the people of Mino's country"

Everyone nodded.

"Is that all?

"Allegedly?

"Abbreviate the people of the country, it's natural. But that's not all there is to it. I want another twist."

A twist? What can I do if I say a twist... My father laughed again when I was worried.

"Yagoro, do you know why Seven Far Mountains got Thirty Ron's letter?

"... no, I don't know"

When my father called out “Little Soldier”, Little Soldier said “Yes” and I was awed.

"The flag of the seven Far Mountains, Takeshi Toyama, welcomes Oda's aunt, Takashi Oda, to the main room, and the son of Takashi Bullet, Takashi Bomaru, to be adopted."

I see that the Oda family and the Far Mountains have strong ties. Is that why Mitsuro believed in the Far Mountains?

"Yagoro, the Far Mountains are a family with strong ties to the Oda family and power over Higashi Mino. The faryama man helped Mitsuro. It must be natural for Mr. Faryama. But how does Lord Misuke see it?

"... does that mean you feel anxious?

When I answered, my father nodded.

"Right. Mitsuro began to wield his power over Oda's blood clan, he would see it that way. And I suspect there will be others who will be in tune with Sanjiro. I wonder if I would weigh more on Sanchiro than I do on myself."

"Those who synchronize..."

"I have a brother under Mitsuro. Wouldn't you suspect that those people would be in tune with Thirty? It is not the ministers who must be most vigilant to those in positions like Lord Sansuke's, blood clan. Brother, you're my uncle."

"I see."

As such, relatives are more dangerous to Lord Misuke than the three of us. If you don't understand that, you won't understand Lord Sansuke's mind, you won't see the movement.

"Spread the rumors on Xiao Wei, Mino and Ozhang"

"Ha."

"Lord Misuke is uncomfortable with Mitsuro and Mr. Faryama. He suspects that there will be others who will give it to Sanchiro."

"Ha."

"And spread the rumor that Lord Sansuke is beginning to neglect his uncles. After that, they'll dance on their own. In the meantime, this one sets a tune for the people of Mino's country. Let's isolate Sanchiro. First, let's try to attract Lieutenant Shinobotaro Left Guard. Hold the entrance and exit to Mino."

Everyone nodded. What Father said about twisting the eyes of the Oda clan into internal strife?

"Yagoro, remember me well"

"Yes."

"Adjustment is an attack on the mind. If the other person is wrapped in one, you can't give him a hand. So confuse, confuse and suspect the other person. Doing so divides the opponent. After that, you can either crush it or draw it here."

"Yes."

Does the tune attack the mind? What we should attack now is the heart of Lord Misuke, and the heart of the Oda clan. If we disrupt and divide the Oda clan, the people of the country who are subordinate to Oda will be lost. That would make a successful tuning in Minoxi...

The night came as soon as I returned to my room from between the calendars.

"Dear Yakuza, thank you for your tiredness."

"Um, I'm a little tired. Years?

When I answered, I said “well” and laughed out corny.

"I am one thing older than your stall."

"Oh, you did. Well, shouldn't we talk about the years?"

"You're right, I'm not too happy"

We both laughed out loud. I've crossed thirty already. I thought it was longer since I was with Little Night than when I was single. Strange thing.

“Let's rub your shoulders," he said, turning back the night. Smells good I'm used to sniffing, smells like a little night. I felt fluttered. Little night presses me around the back of my shoulder with my fingers. It hurt but felt good.

"Much more elaborate."

"There was no war, but I'm tired of leading the army."

"You're in trouble."

"Not really. Tosa was a good country. The sky was blue, my heart was washed."

"Well, let's go"

“Right," I replied because the little night made a bounced voice.

Tosa can't. But I'd like to take you somewhere. Why don't we just go young and narrow? How about a tripartite five lake or something? It might please you.

"Dear Mr. Oyato, Princess Hua will be coming from the Uesugi family soon."

"Princess Hua?

"Yes, all around"

"I see."

Right, Nobunaga, a week of loyalty......

"Haven't you heard from Yagoro?

"No, I just heard"

"Well, that kid..."

"Don't say that, little night. Yagoro can't get that far either. Too many things. Sooner or later, they will come to pay."

I could see the little night exhaling behind me. Sounds worrying.

"I don't know if it's a good idea, but you should stop going to Oozhong."

"Is it dangerous?

I can hear you worrying from behind.

"That's dangerous. The position of Lord Misuke is at stake, as is the position of one person. There is a danger of not knowing what to do. Better stay away."

I'm scared, and I'm not hungry. So act without clapping. And it leads to an assessment that you are unreliable.

"Can't I ask you to come to the mountains?

"Better stop it"

The Palace of Mountain. Why don't we sue her, not Misuke, but someone else, the owner of Oda? And in Misuke's ear, he blows in that she moved out with Misuke obsolescence. If Misuke kills Lord Kiyama... Nobuo Oda in Historical Facts, but do you have a life until you can change your name? Let's call Little Soldier to his bedroom later, this can't be on the table, you better keep it top secret. To Yagoro......, let me tell you. It's time to teach you how dirty it is. Do dirty things without being subtly known around. Teach breathing around it.

"Little night, that's enough. Much lighter."

"That was good."

Little night sat in front. And he looked at me.

"Are you going to win an Oda?

"Do you understand?

"Yes, don't hesitate to eat. Yes, I was taught how to do it."

Right, you said that. That was when I said I might fight hexagons.

"We intend to grow our forces from the East Sea to Kanto by eating Oda. I can also follow Okushu and Kyushu. Doing so will unify the heavens. I'm going to accomplish it in ten years."

"Ten years..."

"We're over forty."

"You're right."

Little night seems emotional.

"For a little while now, I'm going to have a hard time"

"I can see ahead. I don't think it's hard work."

Little night answered in a flamboyant manner. It will be unified in ten years, and then in the next decade, it will form the basis of a system of governance. Twenty years later, Yagoro is over thirty. You must have had enough experience. He'll take over after me and rule the heavens...

"Well, shall we go to the Great Hall? Little night, will you call everyone?"

"May I?

Little night opened my eyes. I used to have that look when I was married. I guess the Decaying Woods were full of surprises.

"I need to see everyone's faces and speak up. They'll resent you for being a flirtatious man. And my mother is annoyed."

"Well."

Little night stood up laughing “ho ho”. It's not like I made a joke...

When you're done transferring, Imawa, you have to let a side chamber in from Hojo. Besides, we have to do Hokujo Yasuhimaru's main uniform and decide where to marry Princess Kikuchi... Don't you have a grand prize, leave it to the morning court? Let's check with Ise. If you need help outside of money, you need to help. If it's hard outside, it's hard inside, if it's hard for the martial family, it's hard for the court.

Kensei Jindo

"This time it's gonna be trouble again."

"No, no, it's nothing like that. Thank you for your hard work. Let's be tired. I want you to take your time."

The minister of the House of Uesugi, Yoshio Nagae, opened his face as he worked the Nobunaga Palace.

"As long as most of them are sailing"

"If it is for Princess Hua, whether it is for the left..."

"Sure. It takes some attention."

Lord Yoshigami nodded. Still a young man, but a man who makes you feel more calm than a hegemony.

"The Lord dwells in Kyoto now. Let's get back to this one around the middle of September. I wonder what time it's supposed to leave for Ozhang."

"Dear Left, by the end of September at the latest, we have to leave this one."

"Can't you stop me? The Lord is also afraid."

"You think it's that dangerous by then?

Lord Yoshigami is making his face strong. I guess I can't really feel the confusion of Mino and Ozhang later.

"The other day, Mikuro Oda of Mino took three of Mino's leading men."

"It's the West Minotaurs. I hear you tried to be Mino and independent in charge of Lord Mikuro. Lord Mikuro said he refused."

"Whatever. The fact that Lord Mitsuro sent three people would have made it clear that he had no objection to Master Misuke. I see..."

"No doubt about it, huh?

I nodded because I asked.

"In that case, confidence in Lord Mikuro increased throughout the Oda family. You think Misuke suspects that Lord Mitsuro will take away the governor of the Oda family? I've seen some doubts intensify rather."

"Oh my God."

I'm surprised.

"You must be anxious. In blood, it makes sense for Misuke to inherit the trail, and now it is in turmoil. Blood alone won't carry on the trail, we need the power to bring people together. Unfortunately, Misuke doesn't have that power, and Misuke feels it. So I suspect those who are likely to gather around me besides myself."

"I see."

"We thought that Misuke wouldn't be able to do much if he had a message from Mr. Kwon Dae-sen..."

"There is no longer a situation where you can take care of the left. Most of the Oda clan should gather around the corner, what happens on the spot..."

"You think there's going to be a blade wound?

I frowned.

"Let's have enough of that fear. Let's not forget that Sanqiro and Mino were stabbed to death in the castle. Misuke apparently has no confidence in the battle, so it may be enough to use the circumvention to summon those in the way to kill him."

Lord Yoshigami nodded when he said, "Right."

"It's not limited to Misuke. It is also possible that Lord Mikuro will cause things to happen and that others will try to kill either or both. … If there is a commotion in the legal arena, the blade can be imminent for Princess Hua."

"Indeed."

Lieutenant Yoshigami nodded nervously.

"But shall we all get together? Aren't you afraid to join us for disturbance?

"If you don't join us, Misuke will think you have an eccentricity. Something that gives you an excuse to do it."

"I see."

"One week is not going to be about praying for the blessings of the deceased, etc. I was wondering if it would be the life and death of the participants and the seat of the head of the Oda family."

Lord Yoshigami sighed.

Housekeeping, your disturbance is only a personal dispute, not a dispute with the enemy. So I don't know what time or what will happen. The Hexagons were. The collapse of the Kannonji Temple occurred suddenly. I would never have thought that Master Cheng Jinjie would be killed at Kanyin Temple Castle by Superintendent Right Guard until the moment he was killed. There is no guarantee anywhere that the same thing will not happen in the Oda family.

"We'd like to ask you some hard questions. What are you going to do about the Oda family's mess?

Lord Yoshigami has turned his gaze one by one. Maybe this is one of the purposes I stopped by Decaying Tree this time.

"I can't leave you alone. Oda's confusion will only please Tokugawa. Can the Uesugi family forgive that?

"No matter, I can't."

We nodded at each other.

"Again, I advise you. I know it would be better if you stopped attending Princess Hua's Weekly Law."

"Thank you for your kindness. The presence of Princess Hua is forbidden."

That's good. Oda's confusion between Decaying Wood and Uesugi only benefits Tokugawa. Decaying trees move east to prevent it. It also means that Uesugi has accepted. All you have to do is wait for the Young Hall to return.
