Chapter 15 Rescue

"It's dark, palm lamp." Ubiki commanded, and Awan immediately brought the candlestick. Ubiki gently stroked the two children who had finally calmed down. "Don't be afraid, Takechiyo and Miss Aki, your father has already arranged it, so you can keep you safe." In the distance, there was a drum beat, interspersed with singing. It seems that it is not just the Major General's Palace, there are songs and dances everywhere. Maybe there was a romantic dance in the city, and the clan was really depressed to watch.

"Madame not only failed to understand the painstaking efforts of the lord, but also wanted to kill the young master with her own hands, which is unbelievable." Ishikawa counts the right way.

Senahime's face turned pale and her lips were tightly closed.

"I will go to negotiate with Shizhen tomorrow, and until the results are out, please don't act rashly. These are the original words of the lord, please keep the lady in mind. ”

Sena nodded slightly, as if in a dream. She was convinced of the authority of the Jun Mansion, and in a moment the earth fan collapsed, and she felt the ground under her feet suddenly crack a large black hole. Even Ishikawa and Shichiro Sumasa can unabashedly express their contempt for Shijin, and Yi'an has clearly abandoned the worthless Shijin. "Shuzheng, for the sake of prudence, I want to ask again, what if the clan is really unwilling to exchange us for the children of the Pelican Palace?"

"At that time, the lord will definitely take the two sons of the pelican palace to attack the Junfu......"

Shu Zheng said categorically, but his heart trembled. When he left Okazaki Castle, he didn't expect that Nishigunjo Castle would be captured so quickly.

"Please listen, sir. Matsudaira Sakon Tadaji, a cousin of Uden Nagateru, resented the murder of his wife and children, and persuaded the Oda family's ally Kumatsu Sato to attack Nishigunjo. My lord Gongyian was very worried about this, so he immediately sent troops to reinforce Xijun, so he just arrived at Natori Mountain. I swear to the gods that this is true. ”

"The Pelican Hall is not easy to deal with, I'm afraid it can't be easily taken. If Takechiyo and Sena had an accident during this period, it would be too late to remedy it. You go to Junfu quickly. At that time, hearing Ngee An say this, Shu Zheng was ready to die. He believed that Shin would have killed Chiyo Takechiyo and Sena Hime before the fall of Nishigunjo Castle. "Please rest assured. I will never let them kill Chiyo Take. In case of any event, Shichiro and I will accompany him to Huangquan. ”

Nghe An grabbed Shuzheng's hand tightly and said, "Thank you!" When he reluctantly said this, he was already in tears, and he couldn't help but turn his face away.

Before Ishikawa Shumasa set out, Yoshian had already led the main force to advance to Mt. Natori, and asked Matsudaira Sakon Tadaji and Kumatsu Sado to attack Nishi-gun.

Kumatsu Sado Mamoru Toshikatsu was the husband of Yoshida, the mother of Yoshiyasu, and according to the agreement between him and Nobunaga, he continued to stay in Aguju Castle. On this expedition, he personally led his eldest son, Saburo Taro, to lead an army to echo Nghe An. Ngee An seems to want to rely on his relatives to rescue them.

In this battle, Kumatsu Samoru and his son fought bravely, and Matsudaira Sakon Tadaji's strategy also achieved unexpected success. Tadaji got many Iga ninjas into the fight. He sent Iga's Banshigeshu and Bantaro Saemon, and Koga's Taroshiro Hirotoshi and a group of 18 people to sneak into the castle first, and when the troops outside the castle attacked, they set fire to each other from the inside.

The Pelican Army was in turmoil, mistakenly believing that someone in the army had rebelled. The Uden Nagasho, who had arrived from Junfu, did not dare to enter the city, and fled directly to Natori Mountain, mistaking the Ngiyasu Army for his own army on the way. After Changzhao and his brother were killed, the remnants were defeated. Overnight, the west county town was captured by the defense of Kumatsu Sado, and the two children of Changzhao also became prisoners.

Shu Zheng learned the news on the way, and a hanging heart finally let go, but it was faintly uneasy. There are hostages to be exchanged, but before Shima kills Takechiyo's mother and son, will he be able to rush to Sunfu? Fortunately, when Sena Hime was about to make a cut, he rushed to the Sunfu.

"I'm not going to repeat it anymore. Since he has come down here, no matter what happens, he will not let the clan really touch a finger of Takechiyo. Shuzheng said simply and withdrew.

If he is really a reasonable person, then he will definitely calm down and consider the benefits and losses. Matsudaira Yoshiyasu has left. If he harms the orphans of the Pelican Palace because of his hatred of Ngee An, he will undoubtedly lose the support of the Pelican family. It's better to lose one than two, and a wise person will make a rational judgment, but a foolish person may really be out of a momentary rage, regardless of the stakes...... Listening to the drums that didn't stop all night, Shu Zheng couldn't sleep, thinking about the next day's negotiations. Ngee An struggled to get the hostages in exchange. What will this move do to make the hostages on both sides lose their lives, and at six o'clock in the morning, when he opened his eyes, he deliberately did not coil his hair, did not shave, looked like he was tired from the journey, and left the room after drinking a saliva.

"I'm the old Ishikawa Shumasa of the Matsudaira clan in Okazaki Castle, and I have 100,000 urgent matters to meet with Daisuke-sama Jibe, please open the city gate." He knew that Shi Zhen was still asleep, and deliberately shouted loudly.

The gates were opened. Ishikawa was entering the living room, and the child servants were still cleaning the house.

"'Last night, I watched the dance until late at night, and the adults didn't wake up yet.'" A sleepy-eyed servant brought tea and opened the nearby window. Ishikawa didn't answer, he stood up and looked at the courtyard bathed in the morning sun.

A high lookout was erected in the courtyard, and the audience was in a mess, obviously the traces left after the song and dance. Shijin is still sleeping. If you wake him up from his deep sleep, he will be irritable all day, so the personal guards never dare to wake him up. It is good in that way, and I think about the number.

When Shi Zhen woke up, it was already past nine o'clock. He was fully dressed and staggered over with a sword-wielding guard and Yoshijin Miura.

As soon as he saw the number, Shi Zhen shook his shoulders, gritted his teeth and said, "You are the retainer of Yi'an, look at your virtue!" ”

"I didn't expect that." Shu Zheng looked unexpected, and said sideways, "I thought that the adults would praise me, but I didn't want to be reprimanded......"

"Don't pretend to be garlic, count right. There has been a war report that Yi'an and Nobunaga were in cahoots and killed my family's hero, the Uden chief Teruto Taro brother. ”

"My lord and Nobunaga are in cahoots? What's going on here? ”

"You still want garlic? If this is not the case, why did Ngee An transfer the main force to Natori Mountain? ”

"Please calm down, sir. Under 100,000 fires, they hurried over just to report the battle situation to the adults. ”

"Report on the battle?"

"Yes, so I came overnight and waited under the city before dawn. My lord advanced his troops to the area around Natori Mountain in order to relieve the danger of the western county. As for colluding with Nobunaga, it is pure nonsense. The adult's words are so absurd, it really makes me embarrassed. Shuzheng skillfully gagged Shi Zhen's mouth.

Shi Zhen's whole body trembled, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak. "You're still arrogant...... Keep talking! If you tell half a lie, I will break you to pieces. ”
