"The main hall of the small temple! Why are you still so obsessed! Why don't you listen to what you say? "In the residence of the lord of the castle, Kuroda Takataka bitterly persuaded Koji to take office, and the latter was like taking ecstasy, and a hundred people disagreed.

Seeing this, Kuroda Takataka felt very strange, in the past, he listened to what he said, why is there such a big contrast now?

"The main hall of the small temple, what is the reason for you to stand so firmly on the side of the Maori? Can you tell the minister truthfully, and the minister can help you with your staff. Kuroda Takataka felt that it was better to find the source and prescribe the right medicine to uncover the knot.

"Hmm... "Koji's political position is actually a little difficult, according to the past practice, it should have been said a long time ago.

"Hahaha! Don't embarrass the main hall of the small temple, if you have anything to ask, just ask! Suddenly, with a hearty laugh, a door opened from the mezzanine of the wall, and it turned out that someone had been inside.

"You are?" Kuroda Takataka looked at the samurai who came out of it, and he felt like he was being targeted by an eagle.

"Heavy in Shimoaraki Village! I've seen Kuroda-sama who sells for glory! Araki Murashige spoke in a sarcastic tone, causing Koichi Kuroda to frown.

"Is that you? Small temple hall, you actually listen to the words of such a devouring disciple? When he heard that this person was Araki Murashige, he looked at Kodera in surprise, and did not understand why he would listen to such a disobedient person.

"Hahaha! Each other, each other, compared to Hosokawa Nobumoto, it's still far behind, pacifying the Tanba country, and destroying the Hatano clan, it's really... "Arakimura Shige's expression of pity seemed to have touched a certain point in Kodera's political position.

"Shut up! How dare you call my lord by his name! Spare you! As he spoke, the furious Kuroda Takataka choked and pulled out his sword, and was about to slash at Araki Village.

"Stop! Kanshouwei! Do you still have me in your eyes! Have you forgotten my kindness to you? Kodera Masaka angrily pointed at Kuroda Takataka, he watched Takataka grow up, and his adopted daughter was Takataka's mother. Although he is five years younger than Xiaogao's father, in this era, many times he will use this way of marriage to strengthen the bond with important ministers.

"Yes..."Takataka Kuroda reluctantly put down the sword in his hand.

Pedal Pedal Ped Left and right stepped forward and snatched the sword, and immediately restrained him.

"Hand him over." Araki Murashige looked at Kuroda Takataka viciously, and black water began to bubble up in his stomach.

"It's... Okay..."Kodera looked at Kuroda Takataka hesitantly, and nodded ruthlessly.

"Koji? Basilica? Kuroda Takataka looked at Kodera in surprise, not expecting to hand himself over to this enemy.

"Hey, hey... Take! Arakimura Shigeichi grinned and stole a disdainful glance at Kodera Masato, who was already slumped in his seat and had no idea.

"Then I won't bother in the next place, but don't worry about the small temple hall, what I promised you in the next will definitely be done." After saying that, Arakimura left without looking back.

"Hey... Officers and soldiers... Don't blame me... I was also confused for a while on the thief ship, and now the wood is complete... He promised me that he would keep the Hosokawa army out of Harima Province..."Kotera muttered to himself, his body loose.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"Hey, hey, hey... Officers and soldiers... How does it feel? "In a deep cellar, Arakimura laughed fiercely.

"Humph! Don't call me Kankanwei! If you want to kill, you have to give a happy word! Kuroda sat cross-legged on the ground, not minding the damp and dark place.

"Humph! Rest assured, you are still useful. Arakimura looked left and right, as if he was looking for something in Kuroda Takataka.

"Oh? Is it? Why do you want to take them captive? "Takataka Kuroda tried to get out of Araki Murashige's purpose.

"Hmph, it doesn't hurt to tell you, I'm going to use you as a hostage to stop the Hosokawa Army's westward expedition." Araki Murashige told him very shamefully, and he looked like he was looking at the scene.

"Hehe... Take it as a hostage? Stop Hosokawa's westward expedition? You've got water in your head, right? In the next one, it's not a member of the Hosokawa clan, and the second isn't a big family, so it seems that your wishful thinking is about to fail. Kuroda Takataka sneered a few times, he had only been in Hosokawa Nobumoto for a few months, and it was ridiculous that this guy would use himself as a shield.

"Hahaha! Is it? Why don't we make a bet? Araki Murashige seems to be very confident.

"Okay, what's the gambling method?" Kuroda Takataka raised his eyes lazily, he didn't think he was so valuable.

"If I win, break your leg!" Arakimura smiled viciously.

"Good! What if you win? Kuroda Takataka said nonchalantly, life and death have been looked down, let alone one leg.

"I'll let you go, you're useless anyway." Arakimura spread his hands and put on a helpless expression.

"Hahahaha! That's it? No way! It's not fair at all. Kuroda Takataka seemed to hear a big joke and laughed so hard that he couldn't get angry.

"So what do you say?" Araki Murashige's eyes narrowed, and his tone was a little unkind.

"I want you to surrender, and explain to my lord that the Xiaosi family is actually controlled by you, and the Xiaoji government is forced, and you finally apologize for your crimes!" Kuroda Takataka looked at him fiercely, hating him in his heart, he was too late to straighten out the Koji family, so he could only make this decision.

"Oh? You're so ruthless, I just want you a leg, but you want my life, that's not fair, right? Arakimura was stunned, he didn't expect Takataka to make such a request.

"Humph! I think it's fair that if you win, you're even less likely to kill me. But if you lose, the end will be death, and I just let you tell the truth before you die. Kuroda Takataka snorted coldly and responded lightly.

"Hmm... Okay, that's settled, we'll probably see in three days. But then again, the assembly of the Hosokawa army was really fast, and the 30,000-strong army was in place in just a few days. Araki Murashige couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the Hosokawa family's standing system (including the Oda system) is not something that can be imitated if you want to, it not only requires a lot of money, but also requires long-term training, which other families can't do.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the participation of the wealthy family this time, I'm afraid it would have made you jaw-dropping faster." Kuroda Takataka looked at Araki Murashige with disdain, this is an ambitious, but too small guy, destined to be a loser.

"Really? But what's the use of being fast? As long as I have the trump card in hand, what am I afraid of? Just stay here honestly and be with the rats! With that, Arakimura turned around and left, closing the door of the dungeon, blocking the only bit of light.
