CHAPTER XXIII

Igen Tetsu and his entourage finally arrived at Koguro Rock Castle before dark, and Igen Tetsu walked into the city with the support of two subordinates, and Matsumae Sakurahime and the others followed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ashigaru, who stayed in Black Rock City, hurriedly cleaned up the hall for the lord, and in the inner room, Teng Xin took off his feet and lining for him behind Yi Yuanzhe, and untied the bloody cloth strips in circles.

At this moment, Matsumae Sakurahime walked in gently, Teng Xin just wanted to speak out when Sakurahime signaled to shut up, Teng Xin smiled evilly and pointed to the ointment medicine and then gently withdrew.

Igen Tetsumoto was intently looking at the extremely unprofessional map of northern Michinoku, and could only roughly see the location, thinking about the pros and cons of the whole situation, but I heard that the battle in Antlers County was still going on, and I didn't know who had the upper hand.

He suddenly felt a sound behind him, and turned his head just in time to see Sakurahime, whose face was flushed, holding the ointment.

He was stunned for a moment, and an awkward atmosphere permeated the room.

"Ahem... What about Teng Xin? Yi Yuanzhe didn't know when this little lady ran in.

"He's gone, I'm really sorry today." Sakurahime looked at the wounds on his body and said guiltily, but then saw his bare upper body and her face turned even redder.

Iyuan Tetsu knew what Sakurahime was sorry for, so he said, "It's okay, I shouldn't tease you, this is called, do it yourself." Ha, don't worry. He wanted to ease the awkwardness.

Suddenly, Sakurahime knelt closer to him and gently wiped the blood around the wound with a cloth towel: "My brother was injured before, and I also changed his dressing." Yi Yuanzhe also turned his head embarrassedly, and gently smelled the faint aroma on her body, which actually made him feel ambiguous.

Sakurahime just looked at the wound, carefully applied the ointment to the wound, and then wrapped the left shoulder with a clean strip of cloth. The whole process was very quiet, Iyuanzhe quietly looked at Sakurahime's serious appearance, Sakurahime looked up at each other as soon as she got it done, and Sakurahime was in a trance for a moment, but then Iyuanzhe turned his head awkwardly and looked to the right.

"That...... Thank you! ”

Sakurahime lowered her head and blushed without talking, looking at his embarrassed appearance, she actually felt cute. So she walked out briskly with her head down.

Yi Yuanzhe looked at his back, smiled lightly and shook his head, this little lady is interesting.

"Teng Xin!" When Matsumae Sakurahime walked away, Igen Zhe yelled a moment later, he knew that this kid must not have gone far.

"Hey! Lord. Teng Xin walked in quickly from outside with a smile on his face and knelt down.

Yi Yuanzhe pretended to be serious and said, "Where did you go just now?" ”

"This ...... Aren't the subordinates afraid of disturbing the lord? And Sakurahime-sama is really good! He said with an ambiguous smile on his face.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Yi Yuanzhe moved his neck and said, "Teng Tang has notified me." ”

Hearing that it was serious, Teng Xin immediately became serious: "Yes, lord." It has been notified, and the order for military rations and other items has been brought with it. ”

"Well, good. There is not much in the inner treasury captured by Beijun, which is not enough to support the entire Tsugaru army, so let him prepare the military funds and send them directly to Teng Zheng, saving trouble in the future. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will send someone to give the order immediately."

At the same time that Imoto Tetsu returned to Tsugaru, Minami Harunobu also received news of the defeat of Kita-gun. Fortunately, Ishikawa Takanobu held the pillar.

However, his face was clouded, so that the retainers under the seat looked left and right and did not dare to speak.

"Antler County has not yet been taken, but the North County is not in a good situation. Let's talk about it, shall we? ”

When the retainers heard the lord's speech, they were all thinking about the current situation.

Nitta Yasumasa opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, the most important thing at the moment is to prevent the Igen clan and the Andong clan from uniting, so that we will fall into passivity. ”

Hearing this, Nanbu Harumasa nodded, although the southern family defeated the Tozawa clan in the south and occupied Iwate County, but the northern part was in a situation of fighting on two fronts, he looked at Tsugaru Toshinobu who was sitting in the corner.

"Tsugaru Hall, this Igen clan is from your Tsugaru Prefecture, have you heard of such an opponent before." Beixin Ai followed the gaze of Harimasa in the south and also looked over, and said to Tsugaru Toshinobu.

Tsugaru Toshinobu sat with his eyes glazed as usual, he was just a fugitive, and the only thing that made him happy recently was the destruction of the Kurokawa family. Because he knew that Nanbu Daizenryo also wanted Tsugaru, he often wouldn't express any opinions at all. When he was suddenly asked, everyone looked at him, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Tsugaru Hall." Nanbu Harumasa also called his name.

Tsugaru Toshinobu immediately walked out and bowed down and said, "Yes, my subordinates haven't heard of it either?" Maybe it was from the Langgang family, and the Kurokawa family also came out of the Langgang family back then. ”

"Oh~ That's it!" Nanbu Harunobu was no longer embarrassed by him when he heard this, and Tsugaru Toshinobu consciously retreated to his corner position.

Bei Xinai spoke again: "Your Highness, it is not appropriate for us to divide our troops and advance, and whether it is the Andong family or the Yiyuan family, the ambition of the wolf will not stop the attack, we should first hold one side of the stalemate, and then concentrate on the threat side in one fell swoop is the best policy." ”

Southern Harimasa has been thinking about it for a long time, either peace or war, but he himself is not willing to give up the meat in his mouth, let alone others, since this is the case, then solve all the hidden dangers in one fell swoop, and the northern part of the Mutsu must be under the control of the southern family, otherwise how can we talk about the hegemony of the Mutsu country.

"Ordered to summon the four armies of the Eight Households, the First Household Politics, the Four Households Zongtai, and the Seven Households to support the Inner City of Maoma, Antler County; Quotation of clear length; Qingxinni, you and others led their respective forces to support Ishikawa Takanobu first, and ordered him to stick to the pillars, which is a great achievement; Beixin Ai, Naganiu Tomoyoshi, Daguang Temple Masaqin, and the family went out to fight off the Andong family in Antler County. When I return from Antlers, I will attack Tsugaru in one fell swoop. Nanbu Qingzheng ordered with full of anger.

"Oh!" Bei Xinai and other retainers present immediately bowed to the ground.

Southern Harunobu is bent on driving Anton's forces out of Antler County, and he is confident that under the mediation of his confidant Ishikawa Takanobu, it is possible to hold the pillar forest and contain the Igen clan, this time it can be said that he has poured out of the nest, just with the retainers and the Shu clan can gather more than 1,000 samurai and peasant soldiers, and there are also other places such as Hachihe Masashi and other people from other countries, he is full of confidence in the strategy of Antler County.

Tsugaru Toshinobu is still looking at the passionate southern retainers in the corner, what does this have to do with him? He shook his head self-deprecatingly, the family business is no longer there, and now the taste of being under the fence is indeed uncomfortable, but what strength does he have to fight? But let's count it as a day! It's just an endless sigh.

After a while, the herald knights who set out from the Southern Clan Pavilion galloped in all directions, and more and more forces belonging to the Southern Family came under the banner of Southern Harusa. The peasants and soldiers were also very excited, and went out to fight elsewhere, which meant that they might be able to catch indiscriminately, which was enough to live a comfortable life; Of course, there are many people who serve the owner from the bottom of their hearts.
