High Priest in Japan

Chapter 880

The next moment, several soldiers entered the hall.

"Arrest the two of them!" Tokimi ordered without the slightest pause or hesitation, pointing directly at Mitsuhide Akechi and Suzuna who had no idea what was going to happen.

"Toki-sama!?" Akechi Mitsuhide, who did not expect that he would encounter this kind of treatment when he came back this time, looked at Tokimi in disbelief, trying to see the truth of the matter from her face.

But it's a pity that she only saw firmness and calmness, and she didn't arrest them at all, which represented the panic and fear of breaking the face with the Imagawa family, or hysterical madness, which made Akechi Mitsuhide even more puzzled.

"..." Hanbei Takenaka opened his mouth when he saw this, but in the end he didn't say a word of persuasion——

Probably because with the conclusion of the marriage agreement, Mino has officially entered the relationship with Imagawa Yoshimoto's hostile camp? That being the case, it is not incomprehensible to arrest Mitsuhide Akechi and Suzume by hand.

The worst thing is not to kill them, just take good care of them, and they can also be used as bargaining chips in the event of failure afterwards, so I resisted the discomfort in my heart and did not interfere with Tokimi's order.

At the same time, Mamoru Ando was also very surprised, but he had already heard about Tokimi's changes from Ryoto Inaba and Naoto Ujiie, knowing that he might be treated the same if he offended recklessly, he also did not persuade him at this time, but He intends to try to persuade Tokimi to change his mind after the matter is over, in order to repay the kindness of the two of them for saving themselves from suffering.

"Would you like to resist?" Suzuna stood beside Mitsuhide Akechi in a guarded posture, watching them gradually encircle him, but when it actually broke out, several soldiers who were not her and Mitsuhide Akechi's opponents asked softly.

"Why?" Akechi Mitsuhide looked directly at Tokimi's face and asked with a puzzled face.

"It took me a long time to get the Mino that Saito Dozo took back from Saito Yoshiryu's hands and back into my Toki clan's hands. I don't want to hand it over so easily. Even Imakawa Yoshitaka Moto promised me that he would still canonize me as the guardian of Mino afterwards, and let Mino return to the name of the Toki clan. But after all, that was just an empty promise made by Yoshimoto Imagawa. I still want to try it, except for this option , Is there any other way to keep Mino, and keep Mino in its current state until the future." Tokimi did not refuse, but looked into Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes full of doubts and replied.

To put it bluntly, he was still not reconciled, unwilling to give up the rights he had acquired, and unwilling to reconcile the Meinong that had been taken back with great difficulty to become someone else's property again, and he could only become its nominal manager. And in my heart, I don't know if it is affected by something called ambition after demonization.

"This will plunge Mino into the flames of war and make countless people homeless. Even so, Master Toki, are you going to do this?" I don't want to see Mino, which Saito Dozo has painstakingly managed, being so ruined Akechi Mitsuhide asked again.

"Could it be that Mino is not in the flames of war now?" Toki Mi asked back, avoiding the seriousness.

"But these can obviously be avoided." Akechi Mitsuhide said.

"But Mino people won't accept it." Tokimi retorted.

Then he didn't bother to argue with Akechi Mitsuhide any more, and directly said to the soldiers, "Take them down and keep them under strict supervision."

"yes."

"Mitsuhide-san?" Ling Nu asked.

"Don't do anything, follow them." Akechi Mitsuhide stood up and said coldly.

Afterwards, the two left the hall with some polite soldiers, and were escorted into a room that was usually used to accommodate guests, but now it was temporarily converted into a prison cell.

"This is really a sudden change." Ling Nu stood at the window of the room, looked at the guards outside and muttered in a relaxed tone.

"I didn't expect that things would change like this in the end." Akechi Mitsuhide frowned and said in an incomprehensible manner. Then, after a pause, she turned her head to look at Ling Nu and asked, "Can you escape?"

"Yes. Do you want to escape?" Ling Nu nodded and replied very easily.

"Then you can escape at night, then go to Owari, and report what happened here to the three masters Imagawa, Oda, and Saito Michi, and let them come up with countermeasures as soon as possible to deal with Mino changes." Akechi Mitsuhide said calmly.

"What about you?" Ling Nu asked suspiciously.

"I will continue to stay here." Akechi Mitsuhide replied, "I want to see with my own eyes what Miss Toki wants to do."

"Then I'll stay. After all, Jun Qin entrusted me with the task of ensuring your safety. If you have an accident because of these things, then there is no way to explain to Jun Qin." Ling Nu shook her head. , very flatly refused.

"You... what about the news?" Akechi Mitsuhide frowned.

Although she understood that the purpose of Qin Heqing asking Lingnu to come and protect her was simply to protect her, but after hearing Lingnu say these words directly to her face, she still felt somewhat awkward in her heart, as if Qin Heqing was playing something bad Making her mind up, or trying to make up her mind, made her feel uncomfortable.

"This is simple, use this." Ling Nu smiled and stretched out her hand to take out from her bosom, and she took out a bronze mirror that was about the size of an adult's palm.

"Bronze mirror?" Mitsuhide Akechi, who didn't know the existence of the Bronze Mirror of Resentment, asked in astonishment.

"You'll find out later." As she said that, Suzuna sent her power into the bronze mirror, activating the resentment that belonged to Ayukawa contained on it, and connected with Mino, who was accompanying the army to Inaba Qin and Qing stationed under the mountain city.

...

At the same time, under Inabayama Castle, in Shibata Katsuya's main camp——

"Lingnu, what's the matter?" Qin Heqing, who was notified by Ayukawa, took out a bronze mirror and put it in front of him, activated his resentment, and looked at Lingnu's face shown in the mirror, wondering.

"Yes, Mitsuhide-san and I were imprisoned by Tokimi and said, look, this is the place where we were imprisoned." Ling Nu said, holding a mirror and comparing herself in the room The environment is presented.

"You're not bad." Qin Heqing joked.

But this is not his fault, after all, judging from the cell information revealed by Ling Nu and her mental outlook, the matter is really not serious or urgent, otherwise, Ling Nu would not be so leisurely.

"Suzu girl, give me the mirror." Right here, Akechi Mitsuhide's voice came from the mirror and said.

Following the turn of the screen, the bell girl turned into a wise Guanxiu with a wide forehead and a serious face.

"The plan failed. Although Tokimi killed Saito Yoshiryu as planned and won the actual control of Mino, but for some reason, she did not lead Mino to surrender according to the agreed proposal, but prepared to surrender. Gather all of Mino's forces to resist. I need you to report this to Lord Imagawa immediately, lest Imagawa-sama mistakenly think that the plan is in progress and affect the army's strategy against Mino."
