As night fell, on the roof of a private house near the Flower Palace, a man dressed in a nocturnal ninja suit was sitting there, munching on the food pills while observing the movement in the palace.The man's name is Xiaomei Flying Kite.At this time, about ten hours have passed since Xiaomei and Shuangxiang separated.On this morning, the three of them originally said that "the soldiers will go around the palace in two ways to investigate, looking for opportunities to blend in", but they didn't expect it......
Shuanghuan was noticed by the alert Guangxiu just walking normally on the street, and was interrogated as a suspicious element, and what he didn't expect was that their "Central Plains artist" statement happened to be of interest to the other party.So, by mistake, the two of them achieved their goal so unexpectedly and easily.After Xiaomei walked around the palace, she found that Shuanghuan did not come to meet, so she inquired nearby, only to know that the two had been "invited" into the palace.Xiaomei pondered: With the ability of these two people, if they really encountered any danger, they would inevitably make a big noise, and he would definitely be able to detect it as long as he was still near the palace, so he simply found a place with a good view to stay.He stayed until dark, during which time he kept his eyes fixed on the courtyard of the palace, except for two visits to the latrine not far from here.So he did see that there were two times in the afternoon, Sun Yihui and Huang Donglai both passed by a corridor in the courtyard, and the people around them were very polite to them.Seeing this, Xiaomei was even more sure in his heart, and he speculated that Shuanghe must have fooled Nobunaga in some way, gained the trust of the other party, and was treated as a distinguished guest; If this thing continues like this, maybe as long as Xiaomei hangs up here, his "task" will be completed.By the way, I have to mention here that Xiaomei received the task this time was to "help Shuang Harmonic go and meet with the person who knew the whereabouts of the dragon bi", and according to his information, this person is the "inner management leader" of the Kyoto Flower Palace, named Hosokawa Takasuke.Therefore, after they entered Kyoto, they came straight to this place.Let's say that this Hosokawa Guisuke is really a generation, and he is also considered to be the queen of a famous family, but his family is in the middle of the road, and he is a concubine, so now he can only succumb to the position of internal manager, which is similar to the "big butler of the national luxury guest house".In the eyes of those famous families, this "internal management leader" is almost a humiliating position, although it is considered to be in the establishment, but the status is very low, and even his heirs have no future after doing it, so many declining famous families would rather become monks than do this.What about Takasuke Hosokawa......
He also understands this, but he thinks about it quite well - anyway, he has no ability to compete with the sisters-in-law in the family, so what's wrong with a comfortable errand?
He now lived in the luxurious palace of Kyoto for a long time, and he did not have to go to war or engage in any political struggles, but only to be responsible for receiving guests and managing the workers and maids under him; He doesn't have to do those heavy physical jobs at all, but all kinds of rewards and oil and water have to go through his hands, isn't this more comfortable than the days when his sect's family is now swollen and fat?
Of course, in recent days, Hosokawa has found that this position also has a stressful time......
Because after Oda Nobunaga came to Kyoto, Ashikaga Yoshiaki ordered that in the near future, the Hanano Imperial Palace could only receive Nobunaga and his subordinates, and no one else was allowed to enter and leave casually, and all the visitors summoned by Nobunaga had to be reported secretly, and there could be no mistakes.Hosokawa himself has also experienced family infighting, can he not know what Ashikaga Yoshiaki is doing?
He knew with his ass that the Shogun was going to take Oda's knife.It doesn't matter if Nobunaga dies or not, but what if something happens to the pond fish, or erases the murder certificate or something, what will he do?
But Hosokawa can't run away, because if he runs, he will inevitably startle the snake, so no matter what Nobunaga's ending will be......
Even if Ashikaga Yoshiaki only "suspected" him of informing, he would not let him live, after all, it was much easier to kill him than to screen him.Therefore, the pressure on Hosokawa is greater than Nobunaga's in the past few days, and he is worried every day, but he doesn't know when Ashikaga Yoshiaki will do it, and whether he can survive that day.The days of tension and depression and the same passed day by day, until today, there has been a change......
In the morning, Akechi Mitsuhide invited two strange and mysterious men to come in and talk to Nobunaga about wine and talk so noisily until the afternoon, and then the two of them offered to take a bath, as if they were going to stay for dinner at night.As for Nobunaga, he also regarded these two as guests and let Hosokawa entertain them.Hosokawa was confused, but Nobunaga said so, and he had to do it.So, in the afternoon, Hosokawa personally led the two to the bathhouse and instructed his subordinates to prepare bath water for the two.Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished arranging here, when everyone around him ran away, one of the two suddenly started talking to him."
Uncle, just now I heard Nobunaga call you 'Mr.
Hosokawa'......"
Sun Yixiang said coldly, "Are you Hosokawa Takasuke?"
”"Huh?"
Hosokawa was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and two seconds later, he was kneeling on the ground with his head slightly bowed, and only then did he raise his eyes slightly, dodge and meet the other party's gaze, and said suspiciously, "Uh......
That's right, it's Hosokawa down there, I don't know what Sun Sang has to say?
”When Sun Huang heard this, he was overjoyed, this was really effortless.But the two of them were just about to say something, when two patrolling soldiers strolled by on the porch outside the bathhouse, and before they had gone far, another maid passed by with a rag and a bucket......
Obviously, this is not the place to speak, and this is not the time to speak, so after Sun Yihuan and Huang Donglai exchanged glances, Huang Donglai said to Hosokawa again: "Mr.
Hosokawa, we have something to ask you for, but this matter is not clear in a few words, it is better for us to make an appointment at another time and place, and then talk in detail." ”"This ......"
Hosokawa was quite surprised by Shuang's request, first of all, he didn't understand why these two Central Plains people knew about him, and secondly, he couldn't think of anything to discuss with him, but since these two people were Nobunaga's distinguished guests, he naturally couldn't afford to offend, and the other party just said that he wanted to ask him for something, and it wasn't an excessive request, and he didn't seem to have any reason to refuse.So, after hesitating for a few seconds, Hosokawa replied: "In the lower long residence in this palace, it is inconvenient to go out, and the affairs are busy during the day, so ......
What the two of you are asking for, I will have time to talk to them only when Nobunaga has rested in the evening. ”"Oh, that's easy to say."
Sun Yixiang then continued, "Mr.
Hosokawa, tell us which room you live in, and we will come to you at night." ”"No, no, I'm embarrassed to let guests come to me, and besides, it's not sure when I'm free."
Hosokawa bowed his head and replied, "Otherwise, if Nobunaga invites the two of you to stay here tonight, then the two of you'll definitely have a room arranged by Zaixia, and I'll see that the time is right for me to visit you at night." ”Hosokawa's words were reasonable and thoughtful, and Shuanghuan was not in a hurry to do so, so Shuanghe quickly agreed to the other party's proposal.Afterwards, Sun Huang and the others took a comfortable bath in the bathhouse of the Flower Palace.But they didn't know that while they were enjoying a hot bath in the big pool, Nobunaga on the other side had quietly discussed with Akechi Mitsuhide, wanting to put on a play at tonight's dinner party to test them..................
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.At this time, Sun Huang was resting in a Japanese-style room, waiting for Nobunaga to find them for dinner.But just as the kitchen was busy preparing dinner, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly appeared outside the door of the two's room."
Two, I don't know if you can bother one or two below?"
At this time, Guangxiu spoke to the two of them, and the tone of his tone was much more polite than that of the morning interrogation.The two people in the room glanced at each other and gestured a few times, and then Huang Donglai replied in a deep voice: "Please come in." ”"Excuse me."
Mitsuhide said as she opened the door.But then he didn't enter the house, just sat on the porch outside the door, turning his face slightly to talk to Sun and Huang."
I wonder what Mr.
Wise has to say?"
Huang Donglai didn't persuade him to come in, but just asked directly.Guangxiu said with a sinking face: "I don't dare to give advice, there are two things to do here, one is to apologize for the rude attitude of the two gentlemen this morning......
At this point, he has bowed his upper body, "......
I'm so sorry. ”"Hey~ Sir, please get up."
At this time, Brother Sun almost instinctively began to pull with the other party, "It's all a misunderstanding, and besides, we didn't care about that in the first place." ”Then Huang Donglai also said a few words on the side, anyway, it was just some kind words; After saying these words, Guangxiu also got up by borrowing the donkey from the slope."
Thank you for your magnanimity, then ......"
Guangxiu then changed his words, "There is a second thing to ask for, but I don't know if the two of you can help." ”"Oh?
Is there anything else that Mr.
Wise needs our help to do?
”Huang Donglai faintly smelled the smell of the trap from the other party's words, so he responded in a tentative tone."
That's the case......
Mitsuhide had already prepared his words, and the answer was fluent, "The two of you should also be able to see that Nobunaga has been very obsessed with the things of the Central Plains recently, and today I am very happy to have the opportunity to meet the two masters; As a close confidant of Nobunaga, I am also happy for him......
So, I thought, this is a rare opportunity, can you ask the two of you to help me tonight......
One more surprise for Nobunaga. ”"Surprise?"
Sun Yixiang's Osaka dialect came at that time, "What do you mean by 'surprise'?"
”Guangxiu immediately replied: "I want to ask the two chefs who teach the kitchen to make a few small dishes from the Central Plains, and you don't need to teach them very accurately, as long as the dishes presented in the end have the characteristics of the Central Plains; I think......

If there are a few dishes like this at tonight's dinner, Nobunaga will be pleasantly surprised. ”After listening to the double harmony, I feel that the other party's request is indeed logical.It's like a Japanese person who comes to you and asks you about a few Chinese food practices, even if you don't cook at all on weekdays, you can still give you a general idea of how to cook some home-cooked dishes, after all, you often eat - like fish-flavored shredded pork, kung pao chicken, mapo tofu......
Don't you know the very detailed production process, don't you know the raw materials?
You can guess the seasoning, right?
The meaning of Mitsuhide's words is also: You don't have to teach many standards, and even if the final food is not delicious, it's okay, as long as you make a few so-called "Central Plains dishes" to coax Nobunaga.In addition, the chefs in this Hana-no-Misho are all excellent cooks, and the basic principles of many dishes are the same, whether they are Chinese or foreign, and if you tell them the ingredients and the general method, they adjust them according to the taste of the Japanese, and how bad can it be?
However, what Mitsuhide didn't expect was that among the two people in front of him, there was a person who had a strong desire to perform in cooking......
As soon as Sun Yihuan heard that the other party gave him such a stage to show, he came to the play at that time, and he immediately decided to personally guide the other party to make an authentic Hangzhou specialty.Yes, you should have guessed it, it's the dish that doesn't work for anyone - West Lake vinegar fish.
