Chapter 875 Untitled
It’s really a good idea, it’s almost the same as an empty-handed white wolf, except for the loss of soldiers when attacking Mino, whether Tokimi’s plan is successful or not, it doesn’t matter to Imagawa Yoshimoto. Influence, Mino will belong to her in the end.
After all, Tokimi succeeded, she is the guardian of Toki, and Yoshimoto Imagawa canonize or not, agree or not, she is already the guardian of Mino in essence, but if it fails, Yoshimoto Imagawa can also suppress the border by soldiers. Taking the whole territory of Mino will not only eliminate most of the powerful Mino clans who are loyal to Mino and the Toki Clan, not to mention making Mino more stable, but also take Mino as a reward, rewarding their retainers, increasing The loyalty of retainers.
Is there anything more beautiful than that?
Akechi Mitsuhide remained silent, and did not express any opinion on Toki Mina's ironic words.
"I heard you mentioned Qin Heqing just now, is that the Lord Qin Heqing I know?" Tokimi didn't dwell too much on this matter, and as soon as the topic changed, it fell on Qin Heqing again.
"It should be. After all, the ones who asked me to come to you are Qin Heqing and Lord Qin." Akechi Mitsuhide said with some uncertainty.
Although the surname Qin is a small surname, the names Qin and Qing are not popular names. Under normal circumstances, even if you search the entire island country, you may not be able to find another person with this name.
"That should be the Qin Jun I know." Tokimi said calmly, "Is he from Imagawa Yoshimoto?"
"Uh...the person is by His Highness Imagawa Yoshimoto's side, but the nature...is a bit special." Akechi Mitsuhide replied with a slightly weird expression.
"What kind of special method?" Toki asked curiously.
"He is His Highness Imagawa Yoshimoto's man." Akechi Mitsuhide replied.
"..." Immediately, Tokimi was taken aback, and her expression became different.
What an unexpected answer.
However, it also explained the reason why Qin Heqing appeared on Imagawa Yoshimoto's side when Matsu Yongexiu's power was in his hands.
Although in terms of method, it seems very unusual.
"I don't know what the relationship between Miss Toki and Lord Qin and Lord Qing is..." Akechi Mitsuhide asked curiously after a moment of silence.
She wasn't gossip, but really wanted to know if this young lady of the Toki family, who had mastered strange means, was also Qin Heqing's roommate, just like Niwa Changhide and Shibata Katsuie!
Even though she had heard from Qin Heqing in the discussion before coming here that his relationship with Tokimi was very simple, and there was nothing beyond friendship.
But the same wise Mitsuhide is also very clear that the words of a man's mouth are the most untrustworthy, and the ghost knows how different what he said in front of him and what he did behind his back.
So it's better to be serious.
"He once saved my life." Tokimi glanced at her and replied indifferently.
"So that's the case, no wonder Qin Jun said that as long as his name is mentioned, you will see me." Zhizhi Guangxiu suddenly said.
The grace of saving lives is indeed more useful than ordinary friendship.
It is not difficult to understand the changes before and after Tokimi.
"The proposal concerning Your Highness Imagawa Yoshimoto..." Akechi Mitsuhide brought back the topic that had strayed to the original track, and asked Tokimi in front of him.
"I remember you said before that the reason why Imagawa Yoshimoto sent you here was because he wanted you to help me overthrow Saito Yoshiryu, right?" Tokimi still didn't give her answer, but looked at Akechi Mitsuhide asked rhetorically.
"Yes. As long as the purpose is to overthrow Saito Yoshiryu, I will serve as your help to advise you and provide you with necessary action support." Akechi Mitsuhide affirmed.
"Then what kind of help can you provide me?" Tokimi asked.
"Personnel information of the Mino Noble Clan."
"Do you think I'm missing these things?" Tokimi sneered.
"Then, what about the chance to meet the Mino nobles?" Akechi Mitsuhide was uncertain.
"If I really wanted to, with my abilities, do you think I wouldn't be able to see those guys?"
Akechi Mitsuhide was silent, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was really no other way.
"Then the only thing I can provide is probably my wisdom. It allows me to accurately judge the enemy's movements and goals in an ever-changing situation, and help you, Ms. Toki, better formulate action plans and accomplish your goals." A moment Afterwards, Akechi Mitsuhide said again.
As for force and pawns...
Unless she is willing to put the power of the entire wise family on top, she really doesn't have much advantage in this regard, so it's better not to say anything.
"If it was before the Jinchuan army attacked Meinong, it would still be possible for you to say that, but now... your help means nothing to me, so forget it, and you can continue to be yours." The emissary is done. As for the others... I will handle it myself." Tokimi shook her head.
She wasn't going to fight for world hegemony, so why was she surrounded by such a military advisor?
As a display?
It also depends on people willing to rely on her.
"Miss Toki, do you mean...to agree to His Highness Imagawa's proposal?" Akechi Mitsuhide confirmed with some surprise with a flash of his eyes.
"Do I still have a choice?" Tokimi asked self-deprecatingly.
Akechi Mitsuhide remained silent, Tokimi really had no other choice. She can only act according to the plan given by Yoshimoto Imagawa, otherwise, even if she regains the position of Mino's guardian afterwards, she will not be able to escape the influence and interference of Yoshimoto Imagawa, so it is better to come directly.
Not to appear too incompetent.
"What is Miss Toki going to do?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked curiously.
"It depends on when Yoshiryu Saito can't hold back his temper and summons Hanbei." Tokimi said slowly, narrowing her eyes.
...
"You bastard, how could there be a mage in Imagawa Yoshimoto's army?! Aren't such characters generally staying in shrines and temples, and ignoring worldly affairs except for monsters making trouble? Ah! Why do they come out and fight I’m right! Where did I offend those old bastards?! You’re talking about it!” Saito Yoshiryu, who received the news that the army was defeated and that a powerful mage appeared in Imagawa’s army, suppressed it no longer Unable to hold back the anger in his heart, he directly knocked the things beside him aside, and questioned the Meinong trio below.
"This, this..." The three of Meinong looked at each other after hearing the words, but they couldn't say one, two, three, four, five for a long time.
"Where is Hanbei Takenaka? Where is he? He didn't even show his face after losing the battle. Did he look down on me, Saito Yoshitaka, or was he so ashamed that he didn't even have the courage to see me?" Followed, Saito Yoshiryu He asked Mamoru Ando, who was among the three of them, again.
"Here, please forgive me, Hanbei. He is just a little afraid to see people. He is not looking down on you, sir. You should give him more time to adapt to him before coming..." As Hanbei Takenaka Mamoru Ando explained for Hanbei Takenaka with a look of embarrassment.
"There's no need to wait, I'm going to see him now!" Saito Yoshilong interrupted him rudely.
"Come here, go and bring Takenaka Hanbei here!"
