"Okay, Uncle Phantom, all of you here are from my Hojo family, what do you have to say... Just say it. "After nightfall, the Hojo clan summoned the Hojo clan's relatives, and there were more than a dozen of them, which was considered a small internal meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen... They are all relatives of my Hojo clan, and this meeting will determine the future of my Hojo family. Hey..."Hojo Phantom looked at this group of juniors, and sighed in his heart, none of them are overlords...

"The future? What do you mean? Didn't you talk about Kenhide Matsuda's rebel minister? Why did it get involved in the future of my Hojo family? "Hojo clan was stunned, didn't he originally discuss how to execute the traitor?

"It's all the same thing... Let's start with Kenhide Matsuda... Today, my lord, you are really impulsive to execute him. Hojo Phantom Ann picked up the topic and began to speak slowly.

"What? You have to be merciful to traitors! Hojo's face sank, and he was a little dissatisfied.

"Hey... Didn't the lord see the faces of the other family elders? Hojo Phantom sighed again, he is eighty-seven years old this year, and he already feels powerless, and when the Hojo family is completed to overcome this last difficulty, he will also devote himself to cultivating Buddhism.

"Face? Aren't they all scared? Wouldn't it be nice to just kill the chickens and make an example to the monkeys and deter them? "The Hojo clan is sitting on the top position, so naturally he sees it clearly.

"Chilling? That's the sad mood of the rabbit and the fox... I'm afraid that as soon as you start killing, some of them will immediately start thinking about their retreat. But... Now I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee that they don't have two hearts. Hojo Phantom Ann shook his head helplessly, when you are in power, it is called deterrence, and when you are unable to protect yourself, it is another matter.

"What! They dare! When the Hojo clan heard this, his angry eyebrows rose.

"It's... Lord, it's not impossible..."The Hojo clan also saw through it, and no matter what the outcome of this time, he would also return to the temple, if he could live.

"Damn! Then get them all under control! Hojo Masa clenched his fists irritably.

"It's useless, press the gourd to float the scoop..."Hojo Phantom Ann shook his head, he knew that the incident of One Day Castle had had a major impact on the psychology of the retainers, and the Hojo family had already begun to collapse from the inside.

"That's... So what to do? Hojo Clan Masato was helpless, he felt like a crab tied up and helpless, although he had sharp tongs, he was stuffed in the pot, and he could only watch himself and slowly boil to death.

"Surrender... One is for the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the other is for the continuation of my Hojo family..."Hojo Phantom said the most painful way.

"What... What the! "The Hojo clan suddenly collapsed on the main seat, is he really over like this?

"Prepare for martyrdom too! In order to continue my Hojo family, I must do everything possible to save the life of the young master! "Hojo Mirage has shown a rare toughness, and the Hojo family has reached a moment of crisis, and they must be decisive!

"It's... This..."Hojo Masa's face was a little distorted, his expression was extremely painful, and he wanted to cry but couldn't. The Hojo family is over, which is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see. He is not stupid, but he is unwilling to accept it, he fights his spirit every day, and struggles to support this last bit of belief.

But today, Hojo Phantom An's words are pierced, and the truth is so cruel...

"Young master... I hope you can take care of yourself in the future, we may not be able to accompany you anymore. Hojo Phantom Nunnery solemnly saluted the Hojo clan, and the other relatives also realized it and saluted one after another, as if saying goodbye.

"Father... Father..."Hojo really trembled, his situation was the most embarrassing, and he could only save himself with the death of others, how sad it was.

"Whew... I see, I'll put my life on the line... Protect the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city..."The Hojo clan untied his heart knot, but saw a lot more openly.

"My lord! Lord! "The crowd wept and could not help themselves.

"Well, this should be the best ending. For the rest, I have to trouble Uncle Illusory. Hojo Clan's expression was gentle, and he glanced back at his son Shinao beside him, his eyes full of kindness.

"Yes! The old man understood. Hojo Phantom knew that this was for him to serve as a diplomatic monk and go to the Hosokawa family to beg.

Early the next morning, Hojo Mirage came to the gate of Ishihuan Mountain Castle and looked up at the majestic castle, which was even more shocking than from a distance.

"See Yamatata!" Hojo Phantom Nunnery enters the temple to salute, a person in his eighties, and his movements are standard and respectful.

"Master, please." Hosokawa Nobumoto helped him a little, and he also admired this old man very much in his heart, and it is said that this guy lived until he was ninety-seven years old. That is, he has ten more years to live! What a turtle...

"Thank you, Lord Yagata!" Hojo Phantom Nunnery got up and sat down, looking calm and steady.

"Master Phantom is here... But what's the matter? "Hosokawa Nobumoto knows the purpose of his visit, and the fall of Odawara Castle is a foregone conclusion.

"Yes! Then the old man got straight to the point. I, the head of the Hojo family, am willing to use my own life to save the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and I hope that the Lord Yagata will be successful! Hojo Phantom Nunnery directly stated the bottom line, which shows that he knows that in front of Hosokawa Nobumoto, any tricks will cause disgust.

"That's... What about your conditions? Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded, the Hojo clan had to pay with his life, and this was the usual fate of the defeated Daimyo.

"Hopefully... To be able to preserve the Hojo family..."Hojo Illusion couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, which was the most important thing.

"Hmm... It's like to... Keep the life of the Hojo clan, right? But the Hojo clan has already exchanged it for the entire city's military and civilians. "Hosokawa Nobumoto is not intolerant of the Hojo clan, but he is worried that his large retainer system will leave hidden dangers for the future. After all, that's how the Hojo clan started.

"In that case... I, the Hojo clan, would like to die together! "Hojo Phantom knows that this level is not so easy, and the growth history of the Hosokawa family is based on the bones of countless families. The famous families that were destroyed alone include the Hatano clan and the Bessho clan, and the Takeda clan can also be regarded as one.

Of course, there are also those who retain the family lineage, such as the Asakura family, the Asai family, the Yamana family, and the Imagawa family, but these families all have one thing in common, that is, their family leaders are in the office, and there is no strong retainer group under them!

So... If the Hojo family wants to stay, at least like these families...

"Smart Maru!" Hosokawa Nobumoto did not explicitly say who would live and who would die, but suddenly looked sideways at his husband.

"Father!" Hosokawa Senmaru hurriedly responded.

"This thing... I'll leave it to you..."Hosokawa Nobumoto decided to hand over this responsibility to Senakamaru.

"Yes! Thank you, Father! Clever Pill's body trembled slightly, he knew that from today onwards, his words and deeds would easily determine a person's life and death!
