Nobu Nobuki approached Mizuno Nobumoto and laughed loudly, "Is this my brother's foresight?"

"how?"

"One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Haha, there is indeed such an ancient saying. But I also know another ancient saying, that is, two tigers fight, and one will be injured. Even though my brother knows this, he still has to take the initiative to join the war? What's more, this time it's not two tigers, but three tigers. Did the brother forget the Takeda family? If the Tokugawa family is really not a rival to the Takeda family and is ordered to come to the front of the Takeda family, and the Imakawa family is like the Oda family, and he will not support the family, what should the Hokawa family do?"

After hearing what he said recently, Nobuzo Mizuno suddenly lost his color. If it were usual, Nobuzo Mizuno would have waved his sword to face him. But now he is the head of the family and must have the ability and responsibility to tolerate objections, so he had to say, "Oh? There is another ancient saying..."

As for the Imakawa family's failure to abide by the agreement, he simply did not respond. According to the two envoys of the Imakawa family before, if the Mizuno family was willing to support the Imakawa family, then the Imakawa family would soon send reinforcements to the Mizuno family. Of course, Mizuno Nobumoto was not a fool. The Imakawa family suddenly supported the Mizuno family so generously, and its purpose was naturally to the Tokugawa family and the Takeda family, and even had other purposes for the Oda family.

Now his younger brother is like a white-chii. He can't see such a big picture at all, and even comes to sneer himself, which makes Mizuno Nobuzomi very unhappy, but he still tries his best to suppress the increasingly intense unhappiness in his heart, nods fiercely and says, "But... Fujikuro, what will happen when you know beforehand which tiger will die and which tiger will be injured? Do you still have to wait and see what happens?"

"Brother, you seem to know the result?"

“That’s right.”

"So we won't join the Imakawa family. Because..." Nobuki thought he could convince his brother. He took the katsuki and sat under the tree. "If we had helped this tiger to win easily, what would you think he would do? How could he sleep next to the bed? We are surrounded by Kariya and Ohachi, so how could the Oda family let us go? If they find an excuse to send troops to us, what should they do?"

"good……"

"So, we can only wait and see if the tiger is seriously injured. We have preserved our strength, and the tiger will not attack us easily. Brother, you should have understood this truth long ago."

In any era, the sorrow of small countries and weak vassals is consistent. You either advocate seeking to join one party, or seeking to join that party, or seeking to remain neutral. The three parties argue endlessly throughout the day. The Mizuno family is naturally no exception.

Seeing that Nobumoto Mizuno was silent, the young Nobumoto Mizuno thought his brother had surrendered. But how could he know that words could not change others at all. Sometimes the victory of words would make the other party lose all patience. However, Nobumoto Mizuno did not understand this principle, and he did something stupid without realizing it. Nobumoto Mizuno would surrender to this eloquent brother. He could no longer bear it.

"There is no right or wrong in this matter, it is the fate of the world. I must kill him!" Mizuno Nobumoto thought to himself.

As soon as this thought came out, Nobumoto Mizuno immediately found a reason: Nobumoto Nobumoto had lost his correct judgment ability. If this continues, it will only plant the root of disaster, which will eventually lead to the demise of the Mizuno family. However, he did not know that behind his decision, there was jealousy of this half-brother. Nobumoto Mizuno lost his mother since he was a child, and he did not know what maternal love was, but his younger brother was caring for his mother (Nobumoto Mizuno and Nobumoto were half-brothers of the same father).

"Oh... your thoughts make sense." Mizuno Nobumoto's tone softened, but he thought to himself: Where should I kill this guy? He suddenly had a plan.

The deformed era creates deformed character. In this bloody and chaotic world, it is no wonder that flesh and blood are slaughtered. In order to survive, various strategies are needed. In this sense, whether it is the people who are busy with food, rice, oil and salt all day long or the famous people who live in luxury, they are all living in this unprecedented chaotic world at the same time.

In the eyes of Nobumoto Mizuno, who believed that only by seeking the Imakawa family could survive, his younger brother became his greatest threat. If he was determined to seek refuge with the Imakawa family, Nobuki would definitely wave his sword to him. But when he thought of getting rid of Nobuki at the Bear Mansion, he could not help but feel a chill on his back. He also felt that it was very sad to have a broken heart, but this troubled time would never allow sentimentality.

Mizuno Nobumoto calmed down and said, "I may have no consideration. Fujikuro, don't make any comments about this in advance."

“Why?”

"I will tell you my thoughts and listen carefully to your opinions. But if outsiders listen, it will be bad. I am very busy now. We will go to Xiong Ruogong Mansion to continue discussing this topic later." After that, Mizuno Nobumoto stood up.

Xinjin nodded. He was sincerely happy to see his brother obeying his opinions.

"Remember, don't let people discover that the suspension bridge of Xiong Mansion will be put down by then, and you can go in secret."

"when?"

"Before the moon comes out, around the Xu hour... After crossing the bridge, go to a small door and knock three times, twice each time. This is a secret code."

Before he inherited the position of family governor, Mizuno Nobuzo had a private relationship with the goddess of Xiong Ruogong in the country. What Mizuno Nobuzozo said was exactly the secret code he used to enter the boudoir of the country.

"Knock three times, twice each time."

"Yes, you must wear a mask at that time. The woman who came out to greet her must think it was me, so you must not speak at this time. I have arrived there before. At that time, I will tell you why I have not made a clear statement to the Imakawa envoy. Then, we will think carefully."

Nobumon Mizuno looked at Nobukin, nodded, and took a big step away. The cicadas above his head rested for a while and began to whine again. Whenever the sea breeze blows, it will roll up smoke-like dust. Nobukin Mizuno's back begins to sweat. He spits out the dust in his mouth and stares up at the sky.

In any case, letting outsiders know that he had an affair with a woman outside the city was very bad, which would affect his position as the governor of the family. Yu Guo was beautiful and cute, and her delicate heart and body were all over Mizuno Nobuzo. But if she was brought back to the city, the city affairs would be difficult to deal with in the future. He knew that Yu Guo's brother was secretly in touch with many wealthy families such as the Oda family, and marrying Yu Guo back to the city was equivalent to arranging a detailed work for himself.

But if you deceive Shinkin into Yu Guo’s residence and secretly get rid of him, you can not only get rid of Shinkin, but also calm the rumors of having an affair with a woman outside the city. This matter is not only a kill of two birds, but a kill of three birds, because Yu Guo can give up on Mizuno Nobuzo.

Mizuno Nobuzo walked into the castle with his hands covering the scorching sun. He sent out his personal bodyguards and walked into the yard. In the hot sun, Akutagawa Kiyoro, who was caring for the courtyard, pointed out three craftsmen and fiddled with the stones by the river to divert water to the fountain.

"Qiang Liu, can you bring the water over smoothly?" asked Nobuzo Mizuno.

Quan Liulang, who looked at everyone busy with his hands behind his back, replied solemnly: "City Lord, where you stand is a place of lanterns."

"Kenjiu, come here." Mizuno Nobumoto pretended to enjoy the courtyard view and walked seven or eight distances. Akutagawa Kiyoro is actually a ninja. Since the Kumaki family began to cultivate ninjas in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, military generals from all over the world have been scrambling to imitate them, and ninjas have spread all over the world. "Tonight you secretly go to the Bear Mansion."

"Ah! This..."
