The sky is dark. Although it has entered the early spring when the cherry blossoms are about to bloom, a layer of frost has fallen on the ground. Life is like falling flowers...

He confronted the Saito family in Mino, the Matsuhide family in Mikawa, the Kitaki family in Ise, and even the Imakawa family in the East China Sea. He fought for decades, and left endless regrets. He suddenly suffered a stroke in the Castle of Momori and returned to the Yellow Springs for twenty years.

When the sky gradually set, the doctor came, and then the important officials arrived at Momori Castle one after another. Oda Nobuhide's body was moved to the lobby of the city.

"Young Master is here!"

The seat suddenly became noisy. How did this infamous young man control the situation? Or, how would he insult and mock the important officials? Everyone was interested and waited, and gloating filled the hall.

In the hall, no one saw Oda Nobunaga's sisters, Mrs. Toda and others. This was a meticulous work that was on the surface to confuse the enemy. At this time, everyone pretended to be seriously ill, Nobuhidai was summoning important officials to discuss the funeral.

In addition to the tie, Lin, Aoyama and Naito family, Oda Genboyun, found out that Zaemon and Sakisuke were also present. Sakuma, Shibata, Hirata, Yamaguchi, Mitsukoshi and other retainers were all there. Among Oda Nobunaga's brothers, only Nobuhiro and Nobuyuki were seen. Oda Nobunaga's sister-in-law Nobuki also rushed over from Inuyama Castle.

"Young Master, please come here." Seeing Oda Nobunaga who was also rushing to arrive, Hiratsuki Masahide waved to let Oda Nobunaga sit at the head of Nobunaga. Originally, Oda Nobunaga planned to "force the robbery" of his father Oda Nobuhidai's concubine Iwamu, but before leaving, he received the bad news of his father's sudden death, so he rushed over immediately.

Oda Nobunaga ignored Hiyoshi Hide, but instead strode to his father Oda Nobuhide, bent down, and put his hand on Nobuhide's forehead.

"Young Master!" Seeing Oda Nobunaga's absurd behavior, Hietsumi and Lin Sado almost said in unison. But Oda Nobunaga had never heard of it.

"He is already cold!" he murmured to himself, but his voice was so loud that it could be heard all over the seat, "Why don't you let your pillow face north? Why don't you offer flowers and incense and candles?"

"Young Master!"

"There hasn't been a mourning yet."

"Hmph!" Oda Nobunaga rolled his eyes. "Just put a dead person like this? Listen. Immediately transport the body back to the Kundo main castle."

"Young Master Oda Nobunaga." Nobunaga from Inuyama looked at Oda Nobunaga with a sad expression and said, "Please sit down first. When will the funeral be held is of great importance."

Oda Nobunaga sat cross-legged, "Why?"

"Now there is Imagawa in the east, the Kitako in the west, and Saito in the north, all of whom are peeking at us from time to time. I have no objection to transport the lord back to the ancient city, but when I go back, do you still pretend to be nothing but go back in a sedan chair?"

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand and said, "No need."

"What do you mean?"

"How can that kind of cleverness deceive the enemy?"

"Young Master!" After hearing Nobunaga's words, seeing that Shibata Katsuya and others were about to take the opportunity to attack, Hietsumasa Hito couldn't bear it and pulled Oda Nobunaga's sleeve. Nobunaga could naturally see the reactions of everyone. So after being stopped by his teacher Hietsumasa Hito, Oda Nobunaga turned his head and suddenly said to Shibata Katsuya who seemed to be attacking with a sarcastic smile:

"Quan Liu! For the sake of caution, I have something to ask you."

"For caution? You mean..." Seeing Nobunaga suddenly ask him, Quan Liu burst into cold sweats under his armpits, and he looked at Nobunaga Oda nervously.

"It's nothing more, it's just a matter of mourning... If you don't cover up the funeral, someone might bully me, Oda Nobunaga and lead the troops to attack Tsuno-ohara. Who do you think that person might be?"

"Ah. This..."

"I don't know? Hahaha. Think carefully. Who is it?"

Quan Liu's face was red. Not only him, but also Xin Xing was also frozen there like a stone sculpture. Shin-Ching from Inuyama Castle, Lin Zuodu and others all looked awkward.

"Hmph!" Oda Nobunaga smiled again, "My heart is as clear as a mirror. Although Oda Nobunaga is called Ohara's number one fool, this fool has already seen through the tricks of those people. Don't worry."

"yes."

"Quan Liu, I was born not a coward who could be bullied by others. I am not a person who is unreasonable. As long as someone dares to move, I will take his life without mercy. You can move the body to Gudu with confidence. Prepare the funeral immediately."

Higashimasahide, who had been closed before, suddenly interrupted, "Wait... Young Master... No, from today, from now on, you will no longer be the Young Master, but the lord. Since the lord gave such instructions, I also believe that everything is prepared and the funeral must be held. Therefore, it is better to prepare immediately and make a decision on the aftermath, so it will avoid the discussion and slander of the world. What do you think?" He quietly glanced at everyone present. Oda Nobunaga also stared at everyone with sharp eyes.

Naito Katsusuke finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since it is the lord's order, you must obey."

"Yes." Aoyama and Misaemon nodded.

Three of the four old families had agreed. Nobuyuki saw the opportunity and said to Oda Nobunaga: "I think my brother's opinion is feasible."

Oda Nobunaga rolled his eyes and snorted coldly. Nobuyuki's cowardice made him unbearable. Although he was versatile and pleasing, he had no opinion on everything and was incompetent, and had ambitions?

"Then, transport the body of the first lord back to the ancient ferry immediately to prepare for the funeral." Hietsushi said quietly.

With strong dissatisfaction with Oda Nobunaga, the Oda clan retainers began to prepare for Nobuhid's funeral. The time was set on the seventh day of the third month of the 21st year of the 21st year of the Astronomy. The cemetery was the Wansong Temple of Kamegatayama, which Oda Nobuhid personally vowed to establish eleven years ago. The abbot Zen master was also the monk Dayun whom Nobuhid himself selected when he was opening the mountain.

However, Oda Nobunaga, the governor of the Shinsuke family, almost did not participate in the preparations. Lin Sado was guessing each other's thoughts and trying his best to cover up the conflict. They had the same opinion on the successful funeral.

In addition to Shibata Kiyoro, Sakuma Euemon and his brother Shiraro Saemon, Lin Sado, Sakuma University, Yamaguchi Zuo Masuke and Tokichizo, Oda Nobunaga's uncle, Oda Nobunaga's uncle, Todashita, his sister-in-law, Jisakumasa, and Oda Nobuki all claimed that Oda Nobunaga would be the culprits that led to the defeat of the Oda clan.

"If these people treason together after the funeral..." Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga felt heartbroken. The reason why he wanted his father to leave Iwamuro and return to the Gudu Castle as soon as possible was due to these concerns. The Imakawa family renovated its military equipment and sharpened its swords. The last time he attacked the city of Kiyosu. Because of the name of Dayi, the Oda family was also caught in the attack of being scolded. Even though the puppet of Spoyi, who later became a puppet, stood up and claimed that it was the former lord of the city of Kiyosu Castle, Oda Hiroro Nobuo who attempted to rebel, and Oda Nobuhide and his son were attacked by him and attacked him for rebellion, but it still caused a lot of controversy.

At the same time, Oda Nobunaga also discovered that the lord of Naruto City, Yamaguchi Sakasuke and his son had already shown signs of cooperating with the enemy. Anxiang Castle was taken back by Imakawa, and Sakurai also fell into the opponent. The famous generals of Imakawa clan, Katsuyama Betsushima, Okabe Goro's attack on the lord, Miura Sakasuke Yoshizu, Izuo Toshima Shotoshi, Asai Koshiro Masato and others were constantly building fortifications opposite Naruto City. Therefore, if his father left, it caused chaos within the Oda clan, they would take this opportunity to send troops to Ohara. Oda Nobunaga was confident that he could still deal with them. But just this way, Mino's father-in-law Saito Dozo would inevitably take advantage of the opportunity to enter.

On the afternoon of the sixth, the tribe members had gathered in the main hall. However, Oda Nobunaga's seat was still empty at this time. Everyone else arrived. Oda Nobuyuki sat first with Nobuyuki Nobuyuki Nobuyuki, and then the three-year-old Miss Ashi. They and Oda Nobunaga were both born to Masashi's wife, Mrs. Toda.

At Shishou of Asichi sat the half-brother Saburo Goro, who was once the lord of Anxiang Castle. Later, he sat in his envelopes, Kizo, Hikariro, Hankuro, Juromaru, and Gengoro, and finally Yajuro, who was in the cradle. He was learning to speak in his arms in the arms of Mrs. Iwamuro and biting his fists. After this column, in addition to Nobunaga's Masamoto and Mrs. Toda, there were also Nobunaga's twelve daughters. The third column was all Nobuhide's side rooms. Children of so many years were originally sad, but many women also made people feel like they were full of flowers.

Sitting in the seat next to the surviving clan was the leader of the Oda clan, Spoyitong... Although he was born in a famous family, he had become a puppet of the Qingzhou due to his loss of power. They all looked serious and were always ready to attack. After them, they were important officials who were sitting upright.

The little monk lit incense candles and incense. Soon, the abbot, Monk Dayun, walked out. Behind him were monks gathered from all over the place. More than 400 people were holding such a grand funeral in the temple he had vowed to build. Can Xinxiu really achieve the right result? The candlelight illuminated the white wooden tablet standing on the front: Seeing the Great Meditation Gate of Taoyan Road in Wansongyuan. Solemn chanting sounds sounded in the spacious main hall.

The chanting of scriptures had begun, but Oda Nobunaga's seat was still empty. Everyone also discovered that Oda Nobunaga, one of the protagonists of the funeral, was not present. The chanting of scriptures sounded. As expected, people turned to Oda Nobunaga's seat.

Soon, the monks seemed to realize that Oda Nobunaga was gone and gradually became weak. A monk stood up and whispered a few times in the abbot's ear, then walked to the chief's house, Lao Linza, and said, "Please burn incense."

"Why haven't the lord been alive yet? Let's stop chanting scriptures for the time being." Lin Zuodu frowned at Zhengxiu with a puzzled look. "I haven't seen his figure yet? I won't forget to burn incense to the first lord, right?"

Hietsuki bit his lip tightly. He twisted Buddhist beads in his hand, "It's so fast."

"You taught me the lord by you, so there should be no problem, but now the funeral is over and the chanting is interrupted halfway through. It's so unlucky..."

Zhengxiu did not answer and searched everywhere in the hall. Two or three people stood up in his sight. Before they could sit down, the chanting of scriptures had stopped.

The monk came over again. Wuwei Xinzang held the list of incense and looked at Lin Zuodu with a look of help. Lin Zuodu knelt on one knee and said, "Where is the lord?"

His eyes were full of anger and he glanced at the people in the audience. "I'm going to burn incense! Where is the lord..."

"Shou, be careful." Higashi Masahide waved his hand with a tired look on his face, "Although the lord has not arrived yet, it cannot be started by others. I think it's better to wait for a moment." His voice was calm and calm, "This is the funeral of the first lord. Even if the lord is unruly, he will not forget it."

"Grading Master!"

"yes."

"No...don't say it. Wait a little longer."

After the chanting of scriptures was interrupted, there was a whisper, full of dissatisfaction and ridicule. If Nobunaga Oda had not arrived, everyone would have doubted. Surrounded by this hostile mood, how could Oda Nobunaga unite the family... Even if he was not assassinated or imprisoned, Nobunaga Oda's future would be dim.

"Have he gone to catch fish again?"

"Maybe going to sumo wrestle, too."

"No, I'm afraid I'm dancing. Now is the season for viewing flowers."

"It's amazing. I even forgot my father's funeral."

Finally, Lin Zuodu spoke: "Dear elders, can you just wait like this?"

"Yes. Be careful and be impatient." Zhengxiu replied.

"It's really unprecedented, Zhengxiu."

"grown ups."

"But for caution, I would like to ask: If the lord doesn't show up, will today's funeral be interrupted?" Lin Zuoduo's gentle, firm and powerful, and always calm and resourceful Masahiro didn't know what to do for a moment: "No, this..."

"When will you wait?"

"this……"

"Do you want Mr. Xinxing to burn incense or..."

"This... no. Please don't be impatient."

"Get." Oda Nobuki also spoke, "Things have come to this point. We act cheaply and are not unfaithful. What do you think?"

"It makes sense."

"We must consider the mood of everyone here. If you wait like this, what will happen?"

Suddenly, a figure flashed at the entrance of the Buddhist temple.

"Ah!" the last person shouted.

"Master! It's Madam. Madam is here!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the door. Oda Nobunaga was still wearing the casual clothes he usually went out for fun. His hair was like a tea brush, and he was casually tied with a red hairband, and only his eyes still emitted a terrifying edge. He raised his strong chest and strode in. Could it be that he was attending his father's funeral in this outfit? Everyone immediately held their breath.

Oda Nobunaga carried a four-foot-long Ai Knife in his left hand and walked in proudly. He tied a leather rope around his waist.

"Ah!" Masahide also saw the straw rope. But Oda Nobunaga had already walked towards the spiritual position, and Masahide had no chance to remind him.

"What's going on? He actually tied a rope." Lin Sado also saw it. Mrs. Toda, who was Oda Nobunaga's mother, couldn't help but stand up.

"What kind of decent form!"

"There are still mud on the clothes."

"Sure enough, I went to fall."

"This is really..."

The father's funeral was very disrespectful to his son's great affairs before he was delayed, but Oda Nobunaga came in such casual clothes... The monks needless to say that even the abbot Zen master was stunned. But Oda Nobunaga ran away as if nothing had happened, and people quickly dodged a way. Oda Nobunaga stopped in front of the spiritual position. His knife was inserted on the sacrificial table, and there was a clang. The hall suddenly became silent.

Shocked by the sound, Wuwei Shinzo hurriedly said, "Mr. Suzuki, you are burning incense!" The sound of chanting scriptures sounded. However, Oda Nobunaga did not sit down or bow his head. He proudly held the knife inserted on the sacrificial table with his left hand, stood firmly at the table, staring at the tablet: The Great Meditation Gate of the Momoiwa Road in Wansongyuan. People were attracted by his strange actions and just looked at it quietly. Suddenly, he reached out to grab a handful of incense ash.

"Ah--" People were shocked and didn't know what would happen.

Oda Nobunaga suddenly sprinkled the incense ash he grabbed in his hand at his father's tablet. The incense ash flew everywhere. Although the abbot did not panic, many monks on both sides hurriedly raised their hands to wipe their eyes.

"Crazy! He is indeed crazy..." Lin Sado was talking to himself, Oda Nobunaga had already stepped down from the spiritual position, staring at everyone with wide eyes.

Everyone did not hear Lin Sado's words. Everyone had forgotten to accuse or complain about Oda Nobunaga's crazy behavior, and they were stunned and had no idea for a moment. Oda Nobunaga's back to the spirit position. He stood proudly, like an eagle foraging, looking down at the people in the seat.

"Lord!" Zhengxiu said, "The seat is there..."

I wonder if Nobunaga Oda heard this. He suddenly walked towards Nobuki Oda in Inuyama Castle in two steps and said, "I heard that you fell a bone." Nobuki was speechless for a while. He understood that Nobunaga Oda's words were a kind of explicit irony. According to his usual character, he would not give up, but things happened too suddenly, and Nobuki didn't know how to answer.

Oda Nobunaga suddenly withdrew his knife and returned to his sheath, took a few steps, and said majestic to all relatives and daimyos from all over the country: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Lord!" When Hietsumasahide called him again, Oda Nobunaga had already rushed straight to the gate.

Wuwei Shinzo suddenly woke up, "Young Master Kanjuro Nobuyuki burned incense." His voice was loud. But most people were still staring at Oda Nobunaga's back. Oda Nobunaga left the Buddhist temple without looking back. The sunset had dyed the jungle red. He carried the knife on his shoulder, put his other hand in the straw rope around his waist, and striding towards the mountain gate.
