The sloppy light shines through the narrow space of the castle tower and into the somewhat gloomy castle tower. Sabei strode over the dozen or so corpses lying on the ground, his footsteps stirring up a faint amount of fine dust. Sabei looked at Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, who was dressed in bloody clothes and didn't even have time to make a mistake. However, the head of the Miyoshi family, who was quite heroic before, is now a cold corpse.

The surrounding generals noticed that it was Sabei who had arrived, and just nodded to Sabei. Sabei first saw Akechi Mitsuhide with some surprise, and then looked at the people who were standing coldly in place, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, and after nodding back to the generals, he walked quickly to Tsuda Nobusumi's side.

Suddenly, Akechi Mitsuhide sighed and looked at Tsuda Nobusumi and Sabei on the side. After Nobusumi Tsuda noticed Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes, he immediately looked at Sabei beside him, and whispered to Sabei, "It's better that the head should be cut off by Sakuma-sama himself." ”

Seeing that Tsuda Nobusumi avoided Akechi Mitsuhide's gaze, Sabei hurriedly saved his eldest brother's field and responded in a low voice: "In order to capture Wakae Castle, Lord Sakuma braved the cold outside the city to ambush all night, and then dispatched all the troops to capture Wakae Castle..."

At this time, Hisho Fanxiu glanced at Sabei, who was still talking, and said in a low voice: "I have already sent someone to inform Sakuma-sama-sama, Akechi-sama, you don't have to bother!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei immediately looked at Tsuda Nobusumi beside him, and when he saw Tsuda Nobusumi shaking his head slightly, Sabei hurriedly put away his words and said rude to the surrounding generals.

The fourth floor of the castle tower of Ruojiang City fell into silence again, and the lazy light quietly crept onto the body of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, and the generals quietly looked at Miyoshi Yoshitsugu who committed suicide by cutting his abdomen in front of him, and no one said anything, but the white gas that came out of the mouths and noses of the people also proved that everyone was still in the world.

Suddenly, a cold wind slammed into the narrow chamber of the castle tower and blew Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's clothes. Then there was a sound of "oh" from below, and everyone's eyes moved away from Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's body, and they all looked towards the wooden ladder mouth.

As the sound of "oh" approached, the floating dust in the house became even more excited, and began to jump in the house. Akechi Mitsuhide choked on the floating dust and began to cough vigorously. Finally, Sakuma Nobumori walked up, and the moment he saw Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's body, Sakuma Nobumori was a little distracted. After stepping on the corpse on the ground, Sakuma Nobumori walked behind the corpse of Yoshitsugu Miyoshi.

Sakuma Nobumori looked around at the people around him, pulled out the saber on his waist and said, "I will take the head of Miyoshi Yoshi, what do you think?" ”

Naturally, Sabei will not rob Sakuma Nobumori of this feat, after all, Sabei is paddling and touching fish in this battle, so that his new standing guard can see blood, and he and his close attendants have made some gains, and the other samurai and standing guards have not yet started fighting, and they found that the enemy army has surrendered.

However, there were obvious changes between Tieshou Fanxiu and Tsuda Nobusumi and Akechi Mitsuhide, but Tie Fanxiu and Tsuda Nobusumi quickly stopped their movements, such as today in the Pavilion, only Akechi Mitsuhide was still gritting his teeth and hesitating.

Finally, Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to have made up his mind to speak, but as soon as his mouth opened, he saw that Sakuma Nobumori's saber had already cut off Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's head.

The cold wind that burrowed into the castle tower was still whirring and attacking everyone, and after Nobumori Sakuma lifted the head of Miyoshi Yoshitsugu, he sneered and kicked the remaining body away. In an instant, the dust that lay on the ground quickly flew up, and it danced alone for a few breaths under the light. Then Sakuma Nobumori, who was carrying the head, left the place, and the figures of Sabei and the others were quickly engulfed in darkness.

The people who fell into the darkness, led by Sakuma Nobumori, groped their way down the wooden ladder. Sabei glanced back at Akechi Mitsuhide, who was standing at the entrance of the ladder in a daze, and the moment he helped himself down, he let Akechi Mitsuhide escape from his eyes.

Sabei, who didn't think much about it, groped his way out of the castle tower with the support of Heiji. When the guards saw their lord come out, they immediately guarded them. Sabei looked at Right Ichisuke who walked over as he walked out of the castle tower, and said to him, "This is the first snow of the year, and it is also the first snow since the imperial court changed its name!" ”

As soon as Sabei finished speaking, he saw Akechi Mitsuhide coming out of the castle tower carrying a headless corpse on his back. Seeing this, the generals just didn't see it, and still arranged for the attendants to enter the castle tower and cut off the heads of the Miyoshi samurai.

With surprise in his eyes, Sabei looked at Tsuda Nobusumi on the side, but saw Tsuda Nobusumi shaking his head and sending his attendants into the castle tower.

Akechi Mitsuhide walked silently with Miyoshi Yoshitsugu's body outside the castle hall, and his attendants followed him. Sabei looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, who walked out of the castle hall on a light snow, walked up to Tsuda Nobusumi, who was already a little tired, and asked in a low voice, "Nanbei, what the hell is going on?" ”

After asking this question, Sabei suddenly said to Tsuda Nobusumi in front of him: "Needless to say, I know!" ”

The fall of Wakajiang Castle was a fatal blow to the Miyoshi family's power in Hanoi. The wealthy clan and the local servants, who had originally vowed to fight the Oda family to the end, immediately came to Wakae Castle to deliver a surrender to Sakuma Nobumori after learning that Wakae Castle would fall in one day.

The sporadic revolt did not arouse Sakuma Nobumori's interest at all, but Ashikaga Yoshiaki's escape made him feel extremely depressed. After sending Naomasa and Hirohide to take charge of sweeping away the remnants of Kawachi Province, Sakuma Nobumori sent a letter to Oda Nobunaga regarding the pacification of Kawachi Province.

The snow in the Gyeonggi area was getting heavier and heavier, and after being praised by Sakuma Nobumori, Sabei returned to Wakasa in the north with the captured weapons and money. He was accompanied by Nobusumi Tsuda, who had returned to the territory with him, and on the way, Sabei rewarded his soldiers with some money and asked them to buy some things to take home in Kyoto Town.

Tsuda Nobusumi also talked to Sabei about the situation in the world on the way, Tsuda Nobusumi believes that the biggest threat to the Oda family is the Takeda family, which is still huge, and Sabei believes that the monks of Ishiyama Honganji Temple will be the biggest enemies of the Oda family at the moment. The two argued along the way, but it was difficult to convince each other, so they insisted on their own words, and talked about the Oda family's huge military and financial resources, as well as the threat of the surrounding enemies.

Then the two of them parted ways in Shiga County, each heading towards his own territory. Sabei, who had been in Gyeonggi for several days in a row, suffered even more after entering Wakasa. Sabei thought that he had not been away from Wakasa for a few days, and it had snowed in Wakasa, and he didn't know how Ashu of Kuniyoshi Castle was.

Thinking of Sabei and thinking of the estrangement of his retainers who still had to wait for him, a trace of gloom appeared on Sabei's red face. The snowflakes in the sky were falling more and more, and Sabei looked up at the gloomy sky, and said to the right Ichisuke on the side: "You go back to Jicheng first, and tell everyone's family to prepare some hot water and hot food!" ”
