Chapter 41 Fenglin Huoshan (Part 1)

The sunset will be faster in winter, and by the end of the hour, it will be completely dark.

At this time, Sun Yixie, who had just gone to the kitchen to "instruct" the cook, met Huang Donglai, who had just come out of the toilet, and they were both led to a banquet hall by Hosokawa.

As soon as the two entered the room, they found that Nobunaga was already sitting on the main seat in the middle of the deepest part of the room, and the family members and their followers were divided into two rows, sitting on Nobunaga respectively. Front left and right.

Only Ranmaru was special. As a personal guard, he did not sit at the table. He just sat silently behind Nobunaga and remained vigilant.

"You two, please come this way." Soon, Hosokawa led Shuangxie, very low-key, to the last seat of the banquet hall, the two who were farthest from Nobunaga and closest to the door. The seat was taken.

After taking the seats, Hosokawa temporarily excused himself and continued to focus on other matters at the banquet.

As for Sun Huang, he didn’t notice anything when he first sat down, but after a while, the two of them realized something was wrong. From the moment they entered the room, to sitting down, and then to having food and quilt. During the approximately seven or eight minutes it took them to sit in front of them, Nobunaga seemed to have not seen them at all. He was just talking, laughing, eating and drinking with his subordinates at the front of the seats.

This attitude is obviously very different from his behavior during the day.

During the day, Nobunaga showed unusual enthusiasm and affection for the two Central Plains people. Not only did he sit at the same table with them and chat, he also took the initiative to propose something to do tonight after a long absence. At a banquet, he called all his followers and asked them to meet Sun Huang.

But now that the dinner party has really started, he seems to be a different person, as if he treats dual harmony as air. This is a bit illogical.

"What's going on? Why did this guy's attitude towards us take a 360-degree turn?" After a moment, Sun Yixie whispered to Huang Donglai.

"Oh, think about it again." For Huang Donglai, teasing Brother Sun was undoubtedly a higher priority than analyzing Nobunaga's behavior.

"Oh, oh, one hundred and eight hundred and eighty, I made a mistake." Sun Yixie squinted his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about this for now, let's get down to business."

"Isn't that right?" Sun Yixie was very good at observing people's emotions. He immediately said, "If it's just what you said, he will just be a little colder to us, but that's normal. There will still be reactions. For example, when we came in and took our seats, he should have glanced here to see who was seated. But his current behavior seems to be deliberately ignoring us, avoiding his eyes the whole time, which is a bit "It's too deliberate."

"Well, if you say so," Huang Donglai thought thoughtfully, "I'm afraid he didn't hold it in well."

"Ah, Damn it." Sun Yixie was reminded by Huang Donglai's words in turn., after realizing it, he said, "The one named Mitsuhide Akechi suddenly asked us to make some special dishes from the Central Plains. Isn't it the buttons made in conjunction with Nobunaga?"

Everyone, This is because if you do a lot of dirty things, you will feel very sharp when you are being tricked.

Sun Huang just chatted for a few words and immediately understood Nobunaga's general intention. Tonight, Nobunaga was going to use these "Central Plains dishes" to take the opportunity to get angry and put on a show with Mitsuhide. Then he naturally put the fire on Shuang Xie's body to test their reaction.

After the calculation is completed, Nobunaga will decide how to deal with the two people based on Shuang Huo's performance

If Shuang Huo is really talented, Nobunaga must try to use it, or at least avoid it They are used by others; if Shuangxie is a person who deceives the world and steals his reputation, then Nobunaga must teach them a lesson; and if Shuangxie comes with some ulterior motive, then this opportunity can also be used to bring them together. His true intentions were exposed.

Of course, Nobunaga’s most ideal result is that these two Central Plains people are indeed capable, and under his kindness and power, they have completely exposed their true abilities, capabilities and positions. And in the end, he was impressed by his heroic temperament and worked for him willingly.

Yes, I know that everyone is already laughing at Nobunaga for "thinking too much" after seeing this.

If the lower limit of dual harmony is described as an abyss, the part that Nobunaga can detect is probably only a few feet on the edge of the cliff. If he wants to explore the bottom, he calls his group of old enemies from the Warring States Period. Even jumping hand in hand is not enough.

Furthermore, in Nobunaga's eyes, unifying Japan means "unifying the world", and if he can stand out among other daimyo, he will be the "hero" in this troubled world; but this is not the view of Shuanghe, According to their understanding, the "general" here is probably a chief envoy, and the group of feudal lords who are separated from each other are at best a group of prefects and even county magistrates.

Just think of it as the prefect. What kind of status does the prefect of Hangzhou have in front of Brother Sun? If the prefect dares not to give Huangmen face, if Shuangxi wasn't unfamiliar with the place and has weak influence, he would have long ago Jumping on these big names to shit.

As for "convinced", "sincere service" and the like, let alone talk about it, unless you are a cultivator on the mountain, otherwise Emperor Dashu is here today, so they both have to talk about things. condition.

But Nobunaga didn't know this. At this time, he had glanced at Shuangxie several times with his peripheral vision. He was very proud to see that the two of them were a little "flustered" because of his coldness; so, he Feeling that the atmosphere was enough, he gave Mitsuhide a look.

Guangxiu understood, and then whispered a few words to the maid beside him. After the maid received the order, she walked out of the door in small steps.

After a while, Hosokawa Kisuke appeared at the door again. He was seen personally carrying an extra-large tray and bringing in a dish that made everyone's eyes change. In this banquet hall.

Japanese cuisine at that time, especially banquet cuisine, was basically nothing."Wok gas", but the large plate of West Lake vinegar fish served by Hosokawa at this moment was made by the kitchen under the guidance of Sun Yixie in strict accordance with the operation of "seize the hot pot before serving". In addition, this The dish would have a strong smell of vinegar, so Hosokawa had already attracted the attention of everyone on the way to deliver the dish to Nobunaga.

Nobunaga took a look and thought to himself, this is great. I don’t have to get angry by pretending that the food doesn’t taste good. Just by hearing it, I know that the food is really unpalatable.

"This is" but the part that should be played still had to be played. While Hosokawa put down the tray and brought the dishes to the table, Nobunaga still asked.

"Sir, this is a fish dish that my subordinates ordered the kitchen to prepare specially." Mitsuhide Akechi stood up as planned, walked to Nobunaga's table, knelt down, and reported back.

At this time, naturally he will not mention double harmony in his words, and he must put on an expression of "all relying on himself and trying to take credit", so that it is true.

"Oh" Nobunaga pretended to be a bit surprised and confused on his face, but in fact he gritted his teeth secretly, took off his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth.

This taste is even worse than I expected.

"Sir, I don't know how it tastes." Mitsuhide followed the script and was already prepared to be scolded.

Unexpectedly

Ping bang

The next second, Nobunaga was so angry that he threw a wine glass and shouted at a big guy who was not in the plan. On Mitsuhide's face.

Immediately afterwards, Nobunaga cursed a four-character Japanese sentence that everyone could understand without having to translate it. After scolding, he pointed at Mitsuhide’s nose and said viciously, "How dare you give me such a thing?" The fish stinks”

This move shocked the entire audience.

Because of the drama arranged by Nobunaga and Mitsuhide, only the two of them and Ranmaru knew about it, but no other retainers at the banquet knew about it.

Of course this is what it should be. After all, if there are too many people who know the plan, the secret may be leaked, and you can’t guarantee that everyone’s acting skills will be so good; let everyone at the scene give the most realistic reaction to it, This was the effect Nobunaga wanted. In this way, he not only tested the dual harmony, but also tested his cronies.

Anyway, as long as he later explains that this was an act and that he did it against Shuanghe, everyone will suddenly realize and admire Nobunaga's strategy, and Mitsuhide will not lose face.

But the current slap was indeed an accident. It was because the fish was so unpalatable that Nobunaga couldn't help but add to the drama.

So even Mitsuhide was stunned. He stayed on the spot for a while and forgot his words.

At this awkward and tense moment, suddenly

Bang

A huge impact came from the side of the banquet hall. There was a loud sound outside the wall.

At the same time as the sound penetrated, the wall suddenly cracked and a large piece protruded toward the room.

Everyone in the banquet hall heard the sound and allThey all looked at the wall in surprise

Bang bang bang bang bang

At this time, the second wave of noise had followed, and within a few seconds, there was a huge The black shadow crashed in from the outside like a bulldozer amid the sound of breaking the wall.

The two warriors sitting in front of the wall were knocked off their feet before they could react, and rolled to both sides in embarrassment.

At this time, other people in the room took a closer look and realized that the black figure rushing into the room was actually a nine-foot-tall sumo wrestler wearing a loincloth. However, because this person wore a red Tengu mask on his face, his appearance was unrecognizable.

At the moment of "protect your lord", Ranmaru, the guard, had the fastest reaction. He was the first to realize that this was an enemy attack and shouted out this voice.

After the words fell, a few of the people in the room came to their senses and quickly grabbed the katana beside them and stepped forward to defend themselves against the enemy.

It should be mentioned here that warriors do not bring their own swords on all occasions, especially at banquets held by dignitaries. Many of them clearly stipulate that attendees cannot bring swords, but I believe Obviously there were no such rules at this banquet. Everyone just took off the knives from their waists and put them beside them to eat. Now they were easily accessible when they wanted to use them.

However, as the party that made the surprise attack, it was natural that the attack would be faster than theirs.

In the few seconds when Nobunaga’s subordinates picked up their samurai swords one after another and joined the battle, from then on, Six more people had already gotten in through the hole in the wall that the red-masked warrior had broken.

The figures, costumes, and weapons of these people are all different, but each of them also wears the same "Tengu mask" on their face.

Two of them have green masks, three have blue masks, and one has black masks.

These people come in without saying a word, and they kill everyone they see. Moreover, they all have extraordinary skills, and they are obviously not just ordinary people.

The banquet hall instantly fell into chaos, with the crowd fighting in the midst of flashing sword lights and flying blood mist.

At this time, Sun Yixie and Huang Dong also started to move
