Ryoko saw that Hojo Shizong was a little excited, and said worriedly: "The bag Sakaguchi is like this, and the fake makeup Sakaguchi is also dangerous there, right?" ”

Hojo Tokizong nodded and said, "It should be the same, it is likely that there will be more evil and less auspicious." ”

As soon as the words fell, another imperial insider broke in, knelt in front of Hojo Tokizong and said: "Lord Ruling Authority, 30,000 people in Sakaguchi have broken jade, but there is one thing, I don't know if I should ......talk about it."

Seeing his hesitation, Hojo Shizong said impatiently: "Say it quickly, no one blames you!" ”

"Yes, the subordinate heard the news that Lord Anda Taisheng and Lord Nikaido Gyotsuna had surrendered, I don't know if it's true or not."

"What?!"

"You talk nonsense!"

"It can't be!"

"The Second Order Hall may not be able to say, how can Anda Taisheng be, it must be the trick of the Song thief!"

"It's ridiculous!"

Zhu Zi was so angry that he trembled all over, and said, "My brother will never take refuge in the Song thief!" You go find out again! ”

Ryoko didn't speak, but looked at Zhuzi with a little understanding.

Tokimune Hojo also thought of a possibility. If Cheng Yue is willing to keep the safety of the entire Anda Taisheng clan, or go further, even guarantee the lives of Zhuzi and even Sadashi, and the Kamakura shogunate is about to be defeated, as the head of the Anda clan, can Anda Taisheng not consider working hard to continue the family? What's more, Anda Taisheng is not surrendering to the emperor, so of course the Anda family will not be liquidated!

Anda Taisheng returns to the Cheng Yue, very likely! Why do you have to perish with the Hojo clan?!

Zhu Zi saw that Ryoseni and Hojo Tokimune both believed that Anda Taimori had surrendered, and he was so anxious that his silver teeth clenched, and tears frequently swirled in his beautiful eyes, but he couldn't think of how to justify it.

Hojo Tokimune was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Regardless of this matter, the families of Anda Taisheng and Nikaido Xingzuna are not allowed to harass, just send people to guard the door." Also, what is going on outside Yamauchi Sakaguchi? ”

The two royal servants who came to report the news glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and said: "The Song thieves and the Yuan thieves burned and plundered in Kamakura, even the babies in swaddling clothes were not spared, and only the Japanese who surrendered could not be infringed." ”

Hojo Tokimune was so angry that the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he smashed his fist on the tatami mat, and said angrily: "Are they slaughtering the city? ”

The two royal in-house said: "Yes." All the women were raped, some were taken away, others were killed, those who dared to resist were killed, and there were corpses everywhere outside. ”

Hojo Tokimune screamed, jumped up from the tatami mat, pointed in the direction outside Yamauchi Sakaguchi and scolded, "Livestock——! It's simply not human——! Aren't you afraid of damnation——?! ”

The rest of the crowd also cursed, although there were only a few words over and over again.

Hojo Tokimune vented for a long time before he calmed down and sat back in his seat in a daze.

It is useless to scold, no matter how hard you scold, the Song and Yuan coalition forces will not hurt a bit. Instead, what should they do is what to do, if Yamauchi Sakaguchi is breached, won't the inner castle of Kamakura be the same as the outside? What if Kasai Valley falls again? Hojo Tokimune couldn't have thought about it!

Yoshiko whispered in the smallest voice, "Can you make peace?" The people of the inner city are innocent. ”

If it were someone else, Hojo Tokimune would have scolded him, but Yoshiko's husband Hojo Somasa was still in the hands of Cheng Yue, and her son was still young, so it was normal to want to protect himself, and Hojo Tokimune did not blame her too much.

Seeing that no one refuted her, Fangzi was a little bolder, and said: "The bloodline of the Hojo clan is the most important, and there is always a way to keep the two children......"

Hojo Tokimune had to interrupt her immediately and said, "Isn't it arranged?" It's not a foolproof solution, but it's generally fine, right? ”

Fangzi was so anxious that she almost cried out, and said, "What should I do if the two children are stranded at sea and encounter a storm?" What should I do if I am caught ashore? What should I do if I am robbed and killed in the midst of chaos? Even if all these things can be avoided, who can guarantee that they will be safe for the rest of their lives? Two little kids are easy to find! ”

Hojo Tokimune was upset by Yoshiko's words, why didn't he know? But what can he do? The peace talks that Fangzi said were just surrenders, so how could they have bargaining chips now?

Ryoko said categorically: "Shizong, can you secretly send someone to negotiate with the Song people, it is good to have a glimmer of life, the worst is the worst, when we keep Zhenshi and Shishi, we are dead and nothing." ”

Hojo Tokimune said irritably: "Mother, it's okay to talk, but what if they don't keep the agreement?" Who doesn't know how to cut the grass and eradicate it? ”

Ryoko was speechless. Yes, Yamauchi Sakaguchi can go down overnight, why should the Song army sell their face? Surrender will only facilitate their slaughter.

Fangzi immediately said, "Isn't there still Lord Anda Taisheng?" ”

Zhu Zi was startled, opened his mouth to speak, and thought about it, but swallowed the words back.

Hojo Tokimune couldn't help but stand up and toss around in the room, his heart was in turmoil. He has the determination to die, and he is not afraid to face the Song and Yuan coalition forces, but when he thinks of two children, he also wants to be six gods and no masters.

The Hojo clan must not be destroyed at his hands!

Bizen Taiyun moved forward a few feet, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ruling Authority, I want to find out the reality of the Song thief and the Yuan thief!" ”

Hojo Tokimune was stunned, looked back at Bizen Tai and said, "Are you going?" ”

Bizen Taiyun said calmly: "The two armies are facing each other, and it is normal to send envoys to pass the word, isn't it also appropriate to go to the enemy camp to find out?" ”

Echigo Suntaro stepped forward and said, "I'll go too, it's too dangerous to go alone." ”

Hojo Shizong thought about it again and again, but still shook his head and said, "Sending you there now will only shake the morale of the army." In addition, I also have to think about those samurai who were temporarily recruited, their families have been killed by Song thieves and Yuan thieves, and their wives have been insulted, but seeing you running to sue for peace, it is easy to cause a mutiny, which is not appropriate. ”

Bizen Taiyun said anxiously: "But Lord Ruling Authority, this is probably the last chance!" ”

Echigo Sun Taro also said: "Yes, if you don't go, when Yamauchi Sakaguchi is breached, everyone in the inner castle will die!" ”

Hojo Tokimune sighed: "I know, but there is nothing to be done. ”

Everyone couldn't help but sigh, Hojo Tokimune said that it was indeed the truth, and sending people at this time was very likely to provoke a mutiny!

Hojo Tokimune said to Ryoko: "Mother, go to Kasai Valley quickly, no one will see you when you go at night." Go to the mountains and put all your belongings in order, and carry some to the ship tomorrow, which may be useful in times of crisis. ”

Ryoko nodded silently, the Hojo clan had reached the last moment, and there was only so much she could do, praying that Yamauchi Sakaguchi could hold off the Song-Yuan coalition army for a few more days, and that the defense of Kasai Valley could make it difficult for the enemy to retreat.
