In the hall of the old family's mansion, Zhang Zhijie sat down in the center, the old family stood aside respectfully, and Magnolia stood still behind Zhang Zhijie.

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "Hakata Bay is a trading area, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty came here to trade with the Japanese people, which is a good thing for mutual benefit!" But things have come to this point, and the daimyo of Bungo Province must give the Governor an explanation, right? ”

The old man smiled and said, "What do you think the adults should do?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "With the strength of this governor, it is easy to destroy the Fenghou Kingdom!" I think both you and Yoshicho Otomo know it! But the Governor had no intention of destroying the Bungo Kingdom, he was only leading a fleet to trade! ”

The elder couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was a retainer of the Otomo clan in the end, and he didn't want to see the fall of the Bungo Kingdom, so it seemed that this Ming general had no ambition to occupy the Bungo Kingdom.

Zhang Zhijie glanced at the elder of the family, who had relaxed a lot, and said in a deep voice: "Although this governor has no intention of destroying the rich country, this governor must also ensure the safety of the Ming merchants!" ”

The elder of the family listened to it and said repeatedly: "My lord, rest assured, in the future, Lihua Mountain City will definitely ensure the safety of the Ming merchants, and there will definitely be no attack on the Ming people!" "What the old man said is not true, now that he has seen the power of the Ming army, he will definitely offer the Ming people in the future!

Zhang Zhijie raised his finger and shook it: "No, this governor doesn't trust you!" ”

The old man's heart sank when he heard this, didn't the Ming people plan to destroy the Fenghou Kingdom, but they planned to occupy Tachibana Mountain City? At least that's what it sounds.

Zhang Zhijie sneered: "Of course, a small mountain city, the governor doesn't care about it!" The Governor wants Yoshinaga Otomo to cede Tachibanayama Castle and Hakata Bay, and let the lord's wife succeed him as the lord of the castle! Since then, Tachibana Mountain Castle no longer belongs to Bungo Province, but is an independent mountain castle! ”

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and he could also feel that Miss Qingyin and this young adult had a story. It's just that he didn't expect that this lord was actually planning to give this mountain city to Miss Qingyin.

This result seems to be the best result for the old man, because Hongshang is his wife, and Miss Qingyin is a cold character. In the future, the affairs of Tachibana Mountain Castle will be taken care of by him after all.

What's more, this avoids that he will be punished by the Otomo clan! Everyone has ambitions in their hearts, and although he is also loyal to the Otomo clan, it would be better if he could avoid punishment and be able to act as an agent.

The elder of the family muttered: "My lord, even if Tachibana Mountain City can be independent, it is only a city land, and it is not able to deal with the conquests of other countries at all!" ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Conquest? Who would dare to conquer? The Governor's mighty fleet travels to and from the sea, and every year it comes to Hakata Bay, and the Governor wants to see who has eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard and dares to conquer Tachibana Mountain Castle! ”

In the end, Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but sneer: "Whether it is the Chikuzen Kingdom or the Fenggo Kingdom, who can resist the army of this governor?" If they dare to send troops to Hakata Bay, they will bring about their own destruction! ”

The old man of the family finally understands now that this Ming general intends to support the city lord's wife, and then the Ming army will protect the stability of Tachibana Mountain City! In this case, Tachibana Yamajo is nominally Miss Qingyin's, but in fact it is not the Akito general's!

Zhang Zhijie looked at the old man with a complicated face and said with a smile: "In the Wa Kingdom, women can also inherit the family governor and the city lord, what the governor said is right, right?" ”

The old family said with a complicated face: "That's true, but this is only an extremely rare situation, and there is no one to inherit the family governor and the city lord!" ”

Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "Otomo Yoshicho has no other choice but to accept the decision of this governor!" Otherwise, there would be no more Bungo and Otomo in this world! ”

The elder understood that this was the condition for the Ming general to stop the war, and if the family governor did not agree, the Ming general would lead the army to continue the attack.

As soon as Zhang Zhijie's words fell, Xiao Dao Gu and Hongni came together, and the old family looked at Xiao Dao Gu with a somewhat complicated gaze, this young girl is about to be the lord of a city! How many people have coveted the lord of a city all their lives, and it has fallen from the sky like this!

Seeing Xiao Daogu come in, Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "I just defeated Otomo Yoshicho at the foot of the mountain, and I want him to cede Tachibana Mountain Castle and make you the lord of the city!" Ahem, there will be more and more merchants coming here to trade in the future, and if you become the lord of the city here, you can also be more stable! ”

Xiao Daogu and Hongni already knew about the battle under the mountain, and they also knew how miserable Otomo Yoshinaga's defeat was! With Zhang Zhijie's troops, it is more than enough to destroy the capital of Fenghou Kingdom, but he just asks the Otomo clan for Tachibana Mountain Castle, and the Otomo clan has no reason not to give it, unless he doesn't want the foundation of the Otomo clan.

Hongni was overjoyed when she heard this, the Cardinal Sect had been destroyed, and all the past had gone by, and now she was drifting overseas with Qingyin, and she no longer thought about revenge or rebellion!

If it weren't for Zhang Zhijie who came to Lihua Mountain City by chance, Hongni and Xiao Daogu wouldn't have thought about it, but Xiao Daogu wouldn't be able to do it after all! In this case, it is better to live well, as the sect leader said.

Xiao Daogu looked at Zhang Zhijie deeply, and she knew in her heart that if she nodded and agreed, then she would never be entangled with Zhang Zhijie in this life! In the end, Xiao Daogu nodded slowly.

Hongni asked the old man: "Can Yin'er be the lord of the city?" At least in Daming, there is no such statement.

The elder of the family explained: "A woman can be the lord of the city, if the governor is willing to cede Tachibana Mountain Castle, then Yin'er can become the lord of Tachibana Mountain Castle, of course, if you want to be justified, it is best to inherit the surname of Tachibana!" ”

Hongni smiled and said, "I think Otomo Yoshicho will definitely agree to cede Tachibana Mountain Castle, right?" ”

The family elder choked up when he heard this, and finally nodded and said, "It should be like this, the family governor should have no other choice!" ”

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Then please trouble Tachibana Mountain Castle to send someone to report a message to Otomo Yoshicho!" Let him personally write a letter, admitting that he ceded Tachibana Mountain Castle to Yin'er, and that he was not allowed to attack Tachibana Mountain Castle! If not, the Governor will continue to lead his troops to attack the Bungo Kingdom! ”

Hearing this, the old man reluctantly responded, looked at Xiao Daogu and said: "I don't know if Miss Qingyin wants to inherit Tachibana's surname, if Miss Qingyin inherits Tachibana's surname, she will change her name to be justified, and it will be easier to be recognized by all the daimyos!" ”

Xiao Daogu thought for a moment and said softly: "The past is like a cloud of smoke, and the name is not important!" I came to Tachibana Castle in winter, and I fell in love with the snow at first sight, and I've been in love with it ever since. ”
