The first year of Yongroku, October 20th.

Asadachi only took Nagano Yoshimori and Ikeda Motsushu to Toyama Castle, where Kenshin was located.

"Where is the Goya Pavilion now?" Ikeda asked the samurai who were stationed outside the Black Iron Gate.

"Honmaru." The samurai replied with a blank and simple answer to Ikeda Morishu.

"You!" Ikeda Morashu stopped when he heard this, and he was already clenching his fists and preparing to swing at the samurai when he was stopped by Asada.

"Well, it has nothing to do with him. This must be the reason why we are not welcome in the temple. "Chao Ding has already guessed probably.

Just when Chaoding was still struggling with whether to break through or go back to Shidong Mountain, Honjo Xiujing came.

"See the town hall." As soon as Honjo Hidejing saw Chaoding and the others, he immediately walked quickly.

"Misasuke, I don't know if I'm welcome to wait for the temple?" Asadachi immediately asked Honjo Hidekei.

"Probably. The Goya Pavilion has been meditating all night in the living room for several days, and before that, he often practiced swords with Togura and Hachiro and Sone Heibei, two adults of the Flag Honko. They were all beaten with wooden swords in the hands of the Imperial Palace, and their noses were blue and their faces were swollen······" Honjo Hidekyo still feels scared when he thinks about it, if it weren't for the fact that he was appointed by the court to stay in Toyama Castle, he would have been called by Kenshin to practice swordsmanship a long time ago.

"It seems that it is because of the matter of the temple of Fengzen." Thinking about it, Asadaku felt that Uesugi Keishin was stupid. He and the Lang Party of the clan are glorious, but he is embarrassed, and he is not a person inside and out.

"Zhenfu Palace, there is also a matter of Shi Dongshan······ Honjo Shujing instantly lowered his voice.

“······” Chaoding thought for a while and then spoke, "Misakusuke, can you let me see the side of the Nunnery?" ”

"Don't say that your subordinates brought it in, and don't say anything about you!" Honjo Hidekyo spoke very kindly to Asada, but it was not the same with the samurai guarding the gate.

"Yes." Chaoding nodded, and then followed Honjo Hidekyo into Honmaru. They soon came down a straight and deserted corridor to the door of Qianxin's room.

"Misake, you go first, I don't want to bother you. You two go outside and stay out, even if there's any noise inside. "Chaoding has prepared for the worst.

Hideki Honjo then withdrew with Nagano Yoshimori and Ikeda Motsu. Chao Ding, on the other hand, said "rude" outside the cedar door and gently opened the door. Chao Ding saw Qianxin with a black headscarf wrapped around her head, dressed in ink-dyed robes, and the rosary in her hand also fell on the tatami mat.

"Your Majesty doesn't know the temple." Just as Chao Ding finished speaking and was about to walk in, Qianxin suddenly stopped him.

"Stop!" Qianxin slowly got up and picked up the little bean Changguang beside him, and drew his sword and walked towards Chaoding, pointing the tip of the knife at his neck.

"I don't know why the temple is insufficient?" Chao Ding looked at Qianxin suspiciously, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Why? You say, I'll listen to your cover-up. Qianxin took back Xiaodou Changguang first, but the Taidao still didn't leave his body.

"If you don't know the temple, the country of Noto will be pacified soon, and Usami Suruga Mamoru will soon be able to enter Nanao Castle and officially serve as the guardian of Noto." Chao Ding smiled bitterly.

"Soon it will be calmed down? Do you mean a year or a few years soon? Not to mention the large-scale crowd of Okunoto going south, Kaga Ichika also made clear his attitude towards fighting the Uesugi family. Not to mention that you've been beaten back to square one by a rabble! After Qianxin finished speaking, he took a folding fan and greeted Chaoding.

"Please don't know the temple of the temple, there are already many members of the Hatakeyama family's family who have been transferred to become our allies, and the guards from all over the country have also fallen to us. At present, the biggest obstacle for our army is the ······ of Seven Tails City." Chao Ding immediately began to defend himself.

"So, how did my uncle die in battle? What happened to most of the Qiji people in Jingtian City? Kindness? Qianxin's series of rhetorical questions made Chao Ding a little difficult to answer.

"Yes, Your Majesty······ Bunzen Shouden ······" Asada's mind was running rapidly, "Toyozen Shouden did a good job as the general of the Western Route Army, and he showed the loyalty and courage of the Echigo samurai all the way to the city. An example to all samurai! We should all learn from him! ”

"Touch~" Qianxin immediately knocked on the table next to him, "Fujiwara Town, what did you say?" I've had a bad ear lately and can't hear clearly, so please say it again. ”

Chao Ding was shocked in an instant, and cold sweat broke out on his body. He could see that Kenshin already knew that he had not sent a single soldier to rescue Uesugi Keishin.

Your Majesty said······ The death of the Fengzen Shoudian and the jade fragments of the Qi Ji people have an inseparable relationship with his subordinates, so he took the initiative to come to Toyama Castle to ask for guilt. Chao Ding wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly.

"Oh? Then count your atrocities in Shidong Mountain, and immediately cut your stomach in the courtyard. I'll be the mediator. You should feel honored. Qianxin said in an instant. This made Chaoding completely defenseless.

"No, no, no, your subordinates can't cut their stomachs yet." Chaoding shook his head again and again, "Your Majesty, this is for the sake of the stability of the three kingdoms of Echichu, Noto and Kaga, so he implemented such a policy against Shi Dongshan. ”

"So Kaga and the craftsman Hatakeyama family should thank you? And then add me, the guardian of Vietnam? "Qianxin doesn't want to look at Chaoding right now.

"The disciples of Ishiyama repeatedly colluded with Kaga Ichika and the Hatakeyama family, which caused great resistance to the Uesugi family's strategy in Hokuriku. If you don't eradicate it, then there will be endless troubles! Therefore, the first thing his subordinates led the army to enter Noto was to wipe out all the people in Shidong Mountain! Chao Ding saw a slight fluctuation in Qianxin's eyes, and immediately explained.

"Then your uncle's death can't be easily let go. If it hadn't been for my mother's letter to persuade me, your head would have hit the ground when you entered the door. After saying that, Qianxin touched Chaoding's neck with the scabbard.

"Your Majesty is guilty. Isn't the Tiger Imperial Front Hall often closed to visitors? Why do you suddenly write to me now? His subordinates had not been able to see her when they were in Echigo. Chaoding was puzzled.

"She married into the Nagao family from Qiji City, why did you say you wrote the letter?" Qianxin was a little too lazy to explain.

“······” Chaoding thought for a long time and thought of a person - Honjo Mino. Only as a left-behind soldier in Kasuga Mountain Castle can he find a way to meet Tiger Gozen.

"Mother said in the letter that you should not resent you yet, and said that my uncle had seen her before he went out into battle, and that he had died in battle voluntarily······" As he spoke, he walked to the corridor by the courtyard and sat down.

"Before, I was still wondering why Feng Qian Shou didn't choose to break through. Nagasawa Chikuzen Mamoru and others have told me that the Fengzen Shoudian is insisting on cage the city and letting them break through. It seems that only the Tiger Imperial Front Hall knows the truth. "Chaoding felt that if he wanted to know the truth about Uesugi Keishin's death, he could only go to Tiger Gozen, the elder of the Koshi Nagao family and all the people had advised Uesugi Keishinobu to break through, and only she knew what Uesugi Keishinobu said before going out into battle.

"Let's not talk about that. Shiro Takeda has withdrawn from the army, and the retainers of the Koji family, Shioya Chikuzen Mamoru and Shioya Warden and others are now in Kogen Suwa Castle, and they really want to see you, but I rejected them first, and asked them to temporarily assist Kakisaki, Ueno and others in guarding Okushima. "Qianxin said the good news that Chaoding wanted to hear the most.

"What?! Takeda withdrew?! Chaoding couldn't believe his ears.

"Well, it's a retirement. However, the old sister Koji was occupied by the Takeda Army, and Takeda Shingen sent Tadakichi Aonuma, Imafukushotsune and others into the missiles. The situation is not optimistic, otherwise you can continue to sit here? If it weren't for the fact that this was an "eventful season", I am afraid that according to the temper of humility, Chao Ding would really be urgently attacked.

"Then shouldn't Your Majesty thank Takeda Daizen?" Chao Ding smiled bitterly.

"After the Noto strategy is completed, Sado will hand over the strategy to you, and there will not be a single soldier to support you in Echigo, Echichu, Noto, and Mogami Prefecture." Kenshin threw a somewhat hot potato to Chaoding.

"Obey ······" Chao Ding reluctantly took on this task.
