The retreat to Dashu Temple was the most desperate moment for Nghe An. But he finally held on, remembering that it was the Venerable Master and the monks of Dashu Monastery who enabled him to tide over the difficulties, or rather, it was the Yin virtue of his ancestors that enabled the monks of Dashu Monastery to help Nghe An escape this catastrophe. Our ancestors have spirits! Ngee Ann controlled the excitement in his heart.

"Jiro Tanaka Uemon actually abandoned the castle. Since it is an abandoned city, even without the order of the Junfu, we cannot watch others take it away. Ngee An said as he glanced at the people in the room. Yasukei Amano, who had not yet understood his intentions, raised his head and asked, "Are we chasing?" ”

"Nope." Yi'an scolded softly, "How can I deal with Lord Imagawa." But since this is an isolated city, we might as well pick it up. ”

"yes, that's a good idea!" Deng Yu seemed to finally understand, and slapped his knee with a fan.

"Then," Ngee An stood up, "we'll go pick up an empty city now." Assemble your team now! He couldn't control it anymore and laughed.

For the people of Okazaki, who have been lying on the salary for more than ten years, all this is like a dream. They didn't expect that Okazaki Castle, which they thought about day and night, would easily return because of the death of the general Yoshimoto.

Ngee An took the lead, and everyone bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, and while emitting incredible emotion, they marched towards Okazaki Castle. When they arrived at the city gates, some people were even trembling with nervousness. Ngiyaan dismounted in front of the city gate and handed the reins to Heihachiro Honda.

The gate, which was about eight rooms four feet high and two four feet wide, could no longer withstand the ravages of war.

Looking up from under the castle gate, I heard the pine wind of Hachiman-en, like the voice of a distant soul, causing the earth to shake.

Two arrow emplacements and four forts were deserted and dilapidated. In the eyes of the left-behind generals of Sunfu, since Okazaki Castle is not their home, it is natural that they do not need to be cared for. The four five-foot-high stone walls are covered with weeds, and the eaves of the second gate are stacked with bird's nests. Ngee An stared at everything in front of him for a long time, and raised his feet to enter the city gate. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to hold back his tears in front of everyone.

There was indeed no sign of soldiers in the city, and it was quiet everywhere. At the Jizo shrine in front of Hachimanen and Nido Castle, there are traces of the panic of the Sunfu army retreating.

Hachiman-en, Nido-jo, Jehodo-doen, and Sandojo are the foundation of the revival that God has given him.

There were 158 residences for the samurai in the castle. Twelve military generals' mansions. There were 451 huts for the Ashigaru samurai, and 34 were the official residences of the Ashigaru samurai chieftains. A total of 26 wells were dug in the city, and there were three small moats around it.

Ngee An went straight to Hachimanen. This is the residence of Mamoru Bunzen Iio, who died in battle. Only this place is fairly clean, and the tatami mats in the hall are also in good condition.

"The lord has entered the city!"

The women of the Mikawa clan, who were allowed to live near Okazaki Castle, were immediately overjoyed when they heard the news, and they were even more joyful than when their husbands and children returned. However, the men did not let their guard down, and according to the instructions of the old man Okubo, they sent people to guard the gates of the castle strictly, and a fire was lit in the courtyard.

Even if Tanaka's army does not return, if the wild samurai know that Okazaki Castle is an empty city, they will rush in, and the night thieves will come and take advantage of the fire to loot. When a fire is burned, it is announced that Kira Yoshiyasu is here, which is equivalent to putting up a flag.

By the time the important ministers had gathered in the hall for a celebratory feast, it was already four o'clock in the evening.

The old man Torii Tadayoshi served as a New Year's tribute to Sandao Castle, and he amassed enough supplies, so the hall was brightly lit and the feast was also present. The old man was in charge of commanding the mobile unit and was therefore still in armor. When everyone returned to their seats, the old man first picked up the cup and came to Ngee An: "Please drink this cup." ”

Ngee An took the glass and drank it down. "Good wine!" He praised as he returned the glass to the old man. The hall was already filled with sobs. The old man walked up to Shinhachiro Okubo, who was about his age, with a wine glass. "God willing, to live to this day."

"Good wine!" Old man Okubo's face twitched, "It's not tears, it's wine." I ......" he took a sip before he put down his glass and wept. Okubo's cries have always been high-pitched, but even so, today's voice is too exaggerated.

"The wolves of the mountains wept." Ishikawa Akimichi.

"I'm not crying, I'm laughing." The old man laughed as he spoke, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he drank the wine from his glass. This is the song of the wild wolf in the mountains when it is triumphant. Raise your glasses and congratulate each other! ”

The old man Abe raised his glass tremblingly and silently saluted Yi'an, his lips trembling, unable to speak. Only Ishikawa Yasui greeted Ngee An eloquently: "Lord! Mrs. Sekiguchi and the young master were detained in the Junfu as hostages. I hope the lord will save them. ”

In order to gain the support of the Mikawa people, Kira Yoshiyasu stated that he would marry Motoyasu's widow, Mrs. Sekiguchi, and raise his young master, and in the future, Mikawa's inheritance would be inherited by Motoyasu's youngest son.

Shinrokuro Uemura was the father of Honda's wife, a fierce and stubborn samurai who killed two generations of Mikawa's enemies on the spot, so he meant a lot to Mikawa. "I'm going to dance." After he finished speaking, he recited the words of "Crane Turtle", made strange gestures, and danced.

The people of Sanhe are all good at the battlefield, but they are not good at singing and dancing, but just watch quietly.

"It's rare to have this singing and dancing, how can we not clap our hands and congratulate us?" After Shinrokuro Uemura returned to his seat, Nagasaka Blood Gun Kuro in the last seat was still stroking his palms. "Interesting. I don't understand the meaning, but it's interesting! ”

The wine glass finally arrived in Sakai Masaraku's assistant, and Gala helped tears flow. He remembered too much of the past. Kiyoyasu's death, Hirotada's death, and Motoyasu's death, he was in the hall of Okazaki Castle, and all this was not a dream.

"I'm ......" Galaesuke held a wine glass in one hand and wiped his tears with the other. Three generations of the Matsudaira family have served Kishira, and now that the city has been reacquired by the hands of adults, it must be the will of God. Mikawa will eventually return to Kira's hands! ”

Ngee An couldn't help but turn his face away. Listening to Yarasuke's words, he didn't think of the three rivers that he had lost since his grandfather held the hands of the Qing Gong, and he also began to appreciate everything in front of him again. This is your own city! From now on, we must work hard! I am the pillar of my retainers!

Ngee An didn't cry, he smiled softly, nodding secretly as he laughed. Today I am born again, you wait and see! Look at what I do in the future. Look at how the once "dead" Ngee An stands tall on the pedestal and gallops at will!
