For three days, Kuroda Takataka had been in the city for three days, and there had been no news from inside the city, and the Hosokawa army outside the city had been besieged, and there had been no more fighting.

The only difference was that the Hosokawa army, which originally had only 2,000 men, had risen sharply to 6 or 7,000 in the past three days, making Kuroi Castle even more severe.

Crunch crunch... The city gate was opened, and several warriors came out, and the leader was a trembling old man. Followed by Kuroda Takataka on the side, the two talked as they walked, and looked here from time to time. Hosokawa Nobumoto had already arranged a place for negotiation and waited for the arrival of the other party.

The old man is naturally Akai Shijia, at this time he has already come to the Hosokawa army, looking left and right at this straight standing posture, strict queue, a strong sense of oppression, I can't help but secretly marvel in my heart, how have I ever seen such an army.

"Oh, brother, you're here, come on, come here, please." Hosokawa Fujiken greeted him with a smile, and Hosokawa Fujitaka was also accompanied. Mibuchi Fujiei was still besieging Yagami Castle, but according to Kuroda Takataka's strategy, Fujiei's 2,000 troops all moved to the forest, and all the banners left by Fujitaka and Fujiken were all played.

From a distance, it is really full of mountains and fields, the flags are fluttering, and there is no significant reduction in the number of people.

"See the right horse's head!" When Akai saw that it was Hosokawa Fujiken, he naturally recognized it, and hurriedly wanted to kneel on the ground to salute, but was supported by Fujixian.

"Oh, dude, what are you doing here? Get up, hurry up, our brothers haven't seen each other for more than ten years, haven't we? Farewell that day, really, look at it, both of us have gray hair. Hehe..."Hosokawa Fujiken happily supported the Akai family to sit down, and the latter nodded again and again in flatterment, knowing that Hosokawa Fujiken is the head of the Hosokawa Warden family, how noble his identity is.

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Hosokawa Yagata-sama! Lord, this is the Lord Akai of the Shijia who is often mentioned by his subordinates, but he went to his subordinates to be a guest. Hosokawa Fujiken introduced each other more casually, as if they were at home.

"Oh, see Hosokawa-sama!" Akai Shijia trembled and was about to kneel, but the little eyes with their heads down turned around, what did they just hear? Hosokawa Fujiken calls him the lord? Could it be that ... He stole a glance at Hosokawa Fujitaka on the side.

"Akai-sama doesn't need to pay much attention, I heard my father say in my early years that the Tanba Akai clan has made great contributions to my family, and I will never forget the Akai clan in the future." Hosokawa Nobumoto brags and doesn't make drafts, and today's play is completely for him to see. However, the strength of the 7,000 army outside is not a decoration, and if it is really impossible to negotiate, he does not mind a strong attack. It was precisely when the Akai family saw the pressure of the army that they had to soften.

"Oops... can get the old lord's affection, the old man is really, the old man is really..."As he spoke, the Akai family squeezed out two tears, and he was also a drama spirit.

"Lord Akai, don't be excited, come and sit down, I invite you to come this time, just to remember the old feelings, and I want the Akai clan to return to my Hosokawa clan." Hosokawa Nobumoto didn't want to play anymore, so he simply went straight to the point.

"It's... The old man can't be the master, and he needs to go back and ask for the consent of the head of the family. But I don't know that after my Akai family returned to the Hosokawa family, the family leader... Is it guaranteed? "The Akai family is here to see how much benefit Hosokawa Nobugen can give the Akai family.

"This is nature, the Ice County is the territory that my father gave to the Akai clan for generations." Hosokawa Nobumoto nodded and agreed to the Akai family's Andu.

"That's... If after the Akai family returns, I help Yagata-sama capture Yagami Castle, can I... Well... Can He Lu County be rewarded to the family again? Akai Shijia hesitated for a moment, and actually asked for benefits.

"No! It was a fief that was going to be given to Fujitaka. Hosokawa Nobumoto frowned, said lightly, and glanced at Kuroda Takataka, who shook his head, meaning that he did not tell the Akai family about the follow-up plan. It seems that this Akai family has long left a hand, and it is no longer a powerful wealthy family that followed the Hosokawa family with all its heart, and it has also become a trend of inflammatory, wall-to-wall grass.

"That's... Is it okay with Amada-gun? "Akai Shijia is still not dead, and he is thinking about it again.

"No! That's for Fujitaka too! Let me tell you the truth, except for you in the Ice County, there are already masters everywhere else. Hosokawa Nobugen said in an unhappy tone, this Akai Shijia has repeatedly asked for benefits, is it to deceive himself into being young? Here the old sell the old.

"This..."Akai Shijia was a little speechless, and couldn't help tilting his head to look at Kuroda Takataka, Hosokawa Nobumoto also looked at him strangely, could it be that he promised something without his consent?

"Lord Akai, why do you care about the little profit in front of you? As I said below, following the Hosokawa Palace, there will naturally be rich rewards in the future, and you will not be disadvantaged to your family. Kuroda Takataka opened his mouth and said, it seems that he didn't promise anything, just the self-righteousness of his Akai family.

"Hehe... Don't worry, Akai said, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Moreover, I have never heard of the courage of the upright, and I intend to recruit him as a direct minister. If there is meritorious service in the future, rewards are naturally indispensable. Hearing Hosokawa Nobumoto say this, Kuroda Takaka's brows were abrupt, what a face-to-face counter-plan.

Everyone knows that the head of the Akai family is the Akai Tadashi family, but it is Akai Naomasa who is in power. If this condition is passed back, if it is agreed, the two families will be happy, and if they do not agree, it will inevitably break the relationship between Akai Naomasa and the Tadashi family.

"This..."Akai Shijia didn't expect Hosokawa Nobumoto to be so scheming at a young age, and he didn't know how to answer it with a sentence. He also grew up watching the Zhong family, and the name was given by himself, and the great grandfather of the Zhong family had the same name, just to reproduce the glory of the Akai family in this generation.

The Akai Tadashi family is the same age as Nobumoto Hosokawa, and it is the time of youth when he is ready to show his talents, but he has a transcendent uncle. Although the power is in the hands of his uncle, he never said anything, after all, he is his own uncle who has always protected him and cared for him.

Now, there is an opportunity in front of him, as long as he follows the Hosokawa family, his uncle will have to be separated from the family, and he will truly become the head of the family.

"Straight, Gorou is also older, it's time for him to go through the experience." At the meeting of the Akai family, the Akai family brought Hosokawa Nobumoto's request, and he had already seen the desire in the eyes of the Tadashi family.

"Hmm..."Akai Naomasa was silent for a long time, he knew that as long as he said the word "no" today, the Akai family would not be as united as before.

On both sides, the important ministers of the Akai family, Akai Yuki, Akai Tokinao, and Yamaguchi Naoyuki were also looking at Akai Naomasa nervously, and everyone's palms were full of sweat.

"In that case, I decided..." After a long time, Akai Naomasa finally opened the golden mouth.
