"How's Axue?" My mind was in a mess at the moment, and I didn't answer Xianzhi's words, in fact, even if I wanted to, I didn't know how to answer.

Some of the people in the open door were busy coming and going, but my eyes still passed through all the "obstacles", and in an instant I saw the couch, the man lying on the couch, and the pale and sweaty face. I don't know if she saw me, too, but it seemed to feel a seductive gaze, or if it was just my own delusion.

"There's nothing wrong here, you don't have to worry!" Ignoring my feelings, Xianzhi resolutely closed the door and blocked it with her own body. "You'd better go back to the front, staying here will only make everyone uncomfortable!"

"I want to go in and have a look!" I knew she was right, but I couldn't help but reach out to the fan.

"Inside is not where you should be, you have your own responsibility!" Xianzhi didn't back down, still standing there resolutely in front of me. Her big eyes were staring straight at me, clear and bottomless. "Just as we believe in you, you should also believe in me and believe in Axue. We'll do what we're supposed to do, and you shouldn't shirk your responsibilities. Think about what so many people have done, and think about what you should do now! ”

For a moment, I was really angry, and I really wanted to push her thin body away! I can do whatever I want, and I don't need others to point fingers at me, and I can't allow others to stand in front of me. What responsibilities, what the world, all go to ******, I also have to live for my own feelings!

But it was only for a moment, and soon my will melted like ice and snow in Xianzhi's gaze. I didn't even dare to make eye contact with her, and wandered to my feet. "Ayuki...... Is it really going to be okay? "I don't have a lot of confidence in my voice.

"Of course not, you still can't believe my diagnosis?" Xianzhi replied in a loud voice, but with confidence. "Although there will be certain differences between women giving birth to children according to their own circumstances, it is certain to suffer crimes, and it is common to toss for a few hours, and there is no big deal. Ah Xue's body has always been very good, and the fetal sound is also normal, I don't think you should make a mess here! ”

"You promise?" I'm a little bit like a child, and even a little angry.

"I promise, you'll go quickly!" Xianzhi couldn't help laughing, pointed behind me and said, "Sakichi must have something urgent to find you, go and take a look!" ”

I subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, I saw Sakurai Sakichi standing awkwardly behind me six feet away with the stack of papers in his hand. The documents in his hand still looked a little messy, and it seemed that he had hurriedly packed up and chased here.

"But I ......" When I turned back again, Xianzhi had already returned to the house and closed the door. Alas......" Standing there with a long sigh, Xianzhi's words just now made me lose the courage to pull the door.

"Lord, emergency military information has been sent from several places!" Sakurai Sakichi said cautiously as he approached me from behind.

"Uh-huh......" I snorted unconsciously, as if I didn't hear it.

"The situation in the western country is developing the fastest, and the Maori family has already made a move!" Seeing that I didn't react, he had to take another step closer and said, "His Royal Highness Gamo wants me to remind the lord that it is very likely that Yuchai will open up the situation in the western country through Maori. And the breakthrough point is most likely to be in Niko......"

Nizi ...... A Xue ...... Nizi? My mind suddenly cleared up a little, and some things became coherent, and finally a series of images were reflected in my mind. "You come with me!" I took the stack of papers and turned and walked away.

I didn't want to leave, but walked into a small room diagonally opposite. This room and the rooms on the left are all Ah Xue's maid's room, I walked in and sat down and began to read the papers, while the original owner was busy in Ah Xue's room at the moment. Sakurai Sakichi had worked as a guard and secretary for many years, and he still had some eyesight, and he gave a few words to the people next to him, and soon a small table with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone was lifted in front of me.

I simply flipped through the stack of papers, and soon found the contents of the Niko family.

The significance of Nizi Yoshihisa's eastward march is higher than the actual effect, which everyone can see, and it is not so simple to really pass through the base camp of the "monkey" to reach the front line. It's like if you move the "horse", how can I get a "cannon", only then is it interesting to play chess. But since the situation is becoming clearer, then you have to allow others to make moves, and the Maori family is the next move for Yuchai.

Not long after the Niko family issued a statement, the Maori family also began to move, and after Yoshikawa Motoharu led 27,000 troops from An Yundong to prepare for the preparation, he intended to intercept and kill Niko Yoshihisa quietly. However, the Niko family is also the head snake of the western country, and there is a secret warning issued by my intelligence network, so Niko Yoshihisa, who has not been out for a long time, immediately turned around and returned to Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, but Yoshikawa Motoharu's army also followed.

Militarily, Niko was on the defensive, but Yoshikawa Motoharu took most of Izumo's castles in two days with a fierce wind and fire, and then besieged Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, which threatened to swallow the Niko family in one gulp.

"I finally can't help it!" I snorted softly, pulled out a pair of letter paper, and set up a good luck pen in front of me to write.

The Maori family is a major force in the western country, and I naturally tried to target them, but the attempt to change their mainstream attitude was unsuccessful, and in the end they fell to the side of Yushiba. In that case, I can only take "measures", which is also something that cannot be helped. It can be said that at this stage, my thoughts on them are greater than those of Tokugawa Ieyasu, that is, second only to Hideyoshi Hashiba.

"Wait!" My hand stopped suddenly, and the wolf's brush stopped in mid-air, and slowly a bead of ink formed on the tip of the pen, and finally fell and became a big wet pimple on the half-written letter. "The Maori family was just defeated by me in Kyushu, so do they still have the ability to take Tsukiyama Tomita Castle in one fell swoop?" I hesitated.

There's no doubt that the Mori family is far more powerful than Niko, but can the Mori family really solve the problem quickly? With less than 30,000 men and horses of Yoshikawa Motoharu, it seems a little reluctant to attack Gassan Tomita Castle, a fortified city garrisoned by nearly 10,000 people and with plenty of food and grass. Since the Maori clan has been repeatedly defeated in battles with me and Yushiba over the years, and in fact their influence in the western kingdom is gradually decreasing, and it is unlikely that they will be able to quickly gather a large number of wealthy troops, then my approach seems to be a bit ......

I reached out and crumpled the stained letter in my hand, and did the same with the ones that had already been written. Maybe it was because I was worried about Ah Xue's situation, and then I was involved in the Nizi family, and my spirit was a little unfocused. I can't give up halfway what I've been planning for a long time, and now that a lot of operations have not been launched, I can't expose the forces of the periphery so early. But you can't just say that you don't want to do nothing, that will also arouse suspicion from others.

I put the blank paper back on the paper, moistened the brush, and after a little thought, I began to write. After a while, the two letters were written, and I looked at them again and was more satisfied.

The first letter was addressed to Kor Sezo in Sakai Town, telling him that he could already start moving, but not to the east but to the north.

Kage Caizo has been stationed in Sakai Town for a long time, and his 2,000 troops are all professional soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and I have already instructed him to gather some more wealthy clans and merchants from Sakai Town in northern Kii. So he now has more than four thousand men, and he is quite well equipped and supplied.

I had intended to use this team to flank Ikeda's Yushiba army, but now it seems that there is no need for it, and now that the head-on confrontation can be waited, the situation is still more chaotic. Going north to Ishiyama Town is not understandable from a logical point of view, but it implies that it has the meaning of cutting off the food route of the Yuchai army, which is really a wonderful move!

The second letter was addressed to Nagano Yosmori in Tanba, and now that Hidekiyo (Ryuomaru) is still with me, he is solely responsible for Tamba's affairs. However, it should be added that because Hidekiyo is too young now, most of the things in Tanba are still handled by Nagano Yoshimori.

My instructions to him were to prepare aggressively, but not to be too aggressive. Now it is not even necessary to stand up directly, and Akai Naomasa can be asked to come forward and refuse the passage of the Ukita Tadashi family's troops on the grounds that the head of the family is not there.

I really admired myself more and more, what a wonderful idea, not only found a reason for the Ukita Tadashi family to stagnate, but also made the "monkey" itch all over and couldn't find the "lice"! My steps should be achieved step by step, and I can't let the "monkey" out of my heart before that.

The attitude of Ko'er Caizo, Nagano Yemori, and Hatano can be said to be very normal, and it is not surprising as I mean. But even so, I think "Monkey" will still move forward, because in his opinion, making these "small gestures" is a sign of my weakness.

I read the two proud works again, and I took the envelopes and packed them separately. Now everything is in place, only the east wind is owed, but when will this "east wind" be able to blow?

"Hey, what the hell is this!" I suddenly felt that I was a little too careful, and now that I had reached this point, it was only a difference between 95 points and 100 points, was it necessary to blame me so much? I thought about the children who were about to be born, and they would have a good job in the future. The reason why I say "they" is because Senzhi told me that it is very likely that they are twins.

Then the door creaked suddenly, and the cells in my whole body immediately became excited. However, I regret that it was the other side of the door that opened, and Sakurai Sakichi appeared there again in embarrassment. "My lord, Lord Ogawa Sunjuro has returned from Kyoto!" He looked at my face and said cautiously.
