Chiba Noji collapsed on the ground, covered in blood, and only raised his head when he heard someone shouting for him, but his eyes were glazed, his hair was scattered, and his snot and tears were everywhere.

The first time Akutsu saw Chiba Noyoshi, she knew that he was on the verge of collapse.

She walked over to Chiba Noyoshi and crouched down, didn't say anything, put one of his dirty hands on her chest without mind, and hugged him tightly.

After a while, Chiba Noyoshi's eyes seemed to have more light, he turned his head to look at Akutsu Hui, and said in a dumb voice, "Did I do something wrong?" ”

Akutsu Hui shook his head and said, "You're not wrong! ”

"Am I not wrong? I took the enemy into Kono Castle and killed the samurai of the Chiba clan, I killed Shimazu Shuo, he ...... He is my own uncle, I was desperately protected by the samurai, they knew that I was the eldest son of the Chiba clan, and they did not leave me until I died, you see the blood on my clothes, it is theirs...... Me, didn't I do anything wrong? ”

Akutsu Hui shook his head again and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, you did this not only for yourself, but also for me, and even for our future children!" ”

"For you, for ...... Child! ”

Chiba Noyoshi nodded, and he repeated it again, as if to convince his heart: "Yes, it's for you, and it's for our children!" Hui, will you always be with me? ”

Akutsu Hui affirmed: "I will definitely accompany you in the future, as long as you are strong enough...... Now there are more than a thousand samurai in the castle lord's mansion, this is your chance, you go and subdue them, and then take them with you to Ukita, the lord is already gone. ”

"But I killed Shimazu ......"

"No, Shimazu didn't kill him, but an assassin, let's go to the city lord's mansion now to find the assassin and kill him to avenge General Shimazu!"

Akutsu Hui struggled to help Chiba Noyoshi up, and then helped him walk in the direction of the castle lord's mansion. After a long time, they came to the gate of the castle lord's mansion, and Akutsu Hui shouted: "Open the door quickly, the enemy has retreated, this is General Chiba!" ”

When the samurai in the castle heard this, they looked through the crack in the door and saw a man and a woman standing outside, and the man was none other than Chiba Noyoshi. Someone was about to open the door of the house, and suddenly heard a voice saying: "Can't open the door, it's Chiba Noyoshi who killed the general, at that time I and Oda Shin were guarding outside, Chiba Noji said that the general was drunk and couldn't be disturbed, but when we went in to see the general again, the general was already dead, it must be Chiba Noyoshi who killed the general!" ”

The man who opened the door hesitated.

Akutsu Hui heard it and said loudly: "What nonsense, General Shimazu is a vassal of the Chiba clan, and General Chiba is the eldest son of the Chiba clan, how could he kill General Shimazu, at that time, General Chiba said that General Shimazu was drunk, it must have been drunk, and a thief sneaked into the room and killed him." You guard the general, but you don't protect the general, how can you survive? I ask you, did you see with your own eyes that General Chiba killed General Shimazu? ”

Moments later, a voice came from inside the door: "Didn't see ......"

"In that case, how can you put the blame on General Chiba, not only did you not protect effectively, but also framed the eldest son of the Chiba clan, which should be a capital crime.

Just now, General Chiba led dozens of samurai to fight with thieves in the city, and he fought to the death, and now he is seriously injured and weak, and he can only stand up by being supported by me, did anyone see General Chiba fighting just now? ”

"When I ran to the castle lord's mansion, I saw General Chiba fighting the thieves!"

"I seem to see ...... too"

"So it must not be General Chiba who killed General Shimazu!"

"Open the door quickly......"

The gate of the castle lord's mansion was opened, and many samurai took Chiba Noyoshi over, and seeing that he was covered in blood and weak, he finally stopped doubting.

After scanning around, Akutsu Hui said sharply, "Who said that he was guarding General Shimazu just now?" ”

The crowd looked at a samurai with his head down.

Akutsu Hui looked at him and said, "Just now you said that you were guarding the general with Oda Shin, where is Oda Shin?" ”

The warrior hesitated for a moment, then said, "He has already committed suicide!"

Akutsu Hui said angrily: "Oda-kun has a shame in his heart, he knows that the protection is not effective, so he committed suicide in anger, and you are not worthy of being called a samurai, do you want to judge yourself with honor, or will you be executed by the order of General Chiba?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the samurai hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and drawing his sword, killing himself.

Akutsu Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Shimazu was killed by the enemy, General Chiba swore to avenge General Shimazu, if you also want to avenge General Shimazu, then be loyal to General Chiba!" ”

Several feudal lords glanced at each other, knelt down and said, "Meet General Chiba!" ”

Seeing this, the other samurai also knelt down and said, "Meet General Chiba!" ”

Chiba Noji said weakly: "Okay, I will definitely help General Shimazu avenge, you guys hurry up, now that the enemy has retreated, and the city is chaotic, you now go out to clean up the corpses of the samurai killed in battle, leaving two hundred people to guard the city lord's mansion." ”

"Yes!"

Most of the samurai gathered in the castle lord's mansion left the castle lord's mansion and then disposed of the corpses in the castle. A small part of the guards are in the castle lord's mansion, because of the arrival of Chiba Noyoshi, the hearts of many samurai seem to have settled, after all, Chiba Noyoshi is the eldest son of the Chiba clan, and there seems to be no difference between being loyal to him and being loyal to Shimazu Shuo.

There were also a few clever people who saw something unusual, such as why the enemy was able to enter the city quietly, why Shogun Shimazu died at this time, and why the enemy suddenly retreated...... Also, who is this woman?

But even if there are doubts in his heart, no one dares to ask again, after all, after all, Chiba Noyoshi is the eldest son of the Chiba clan, and Shimazu Shoo is also dead, so there is no point in saying anything at this time.

The sky was bright, and some people had the courage to open the door, only to see that there were no bodies outside, only pools of blood to tell the tragedy of last night. Soon, I don't know whose dog ran out and licked the ground, someone picked up a stick to beat it away, and then brought water to the ground, and soon there was no blood on the ground, only a little scarlet.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Chiba Noyoshi, who had recovered some physical strength, sat above, looking at the few feudal lords standing left and right below, with a little unbearable look in his eyes.

After Akutsu Hui carried a wine jug and poured him a glass of wine, he walked down and poured wine for several feudal lords with a smile on his face: "In the future, General Chiba is willing to share weal and woe with several people and avenge General Shimazu!" ”

Several feudal priests drank their wine and said in unison, "Willing to serve General Chiba!" ”

Suddenly, the wine glass fell to the ground, and a feudal priest covered his stomach with a painful expression, pointing to Chiba Noyoshi, who was still holding the wine glass, and said, "The wine is poisonous!" ”

The other feudal priests were so frightened that they threw away their cups and were about to draw their swords, when they suddenly felt a cramping pain in their stomachs and collapsed to the ground one by one.

They watched Chiba Noyoshi and Akutsu Hui curse, their eyes filled with resentment, but soon they bled to death.

Chiba Noyoshi spilled the wine in the cup on the ground and said bitterly, "Do you have to kill them?" ”

"If you don't kill them, how can you really master the ...... of more than a thousand samurai?"

Akutsu Hui sighed and said, "They still listen to you, but if they hear you say that you are going to Ukita, they may not obey your orders!" Noji, you have to be a little more poisonous and ruthless......"
