Narita Nagajin ordered Shinobi to raise the white flag, which was after sunrise.

Calculating the time, it is almost time for the Daoji Masasan and Narita Zhang to go to Kawagoe City at this time, right?

While worrying about whether the Daido Temple Masahiro and the others could arrive safely, while circling in a circle in one of the courtyards of Honmaru, the eldest relatives looked a little uneasy.

"Your Highness Adou, breakfast is here."

"Oh!"

The attention of the eldest relatives was immediately diverted, and today's breakfast was still quite simple, there were no sashimi, only rice, pickled radish and salted fish.

The eldest family sat down to eat with great interest, chewing slowly one bite at a time, ignoring Masaki Tanba and Narita Kai, who arrived halfway through.

"Why surrender?"

Although the two people in front of him pressed him one after another, the eldest relatives still ate quietly, chewing every grain of rice and removing every fish bone.

Seeing the appearance of the eldest relative, even Jia Fei, who has always been very violent, couldn't help but be afraid, and didn't dare to abuse the eldest relative's relatives like usual, just stood under the porch with a spear, tilting his head and staring at him without blinking.

The meal was eaten very slowly, and it took about half an hour before and after.

As soon as the maid took the plate away, the eldest relatives burped contentedly.

His retainer Sakumaki came running wildly, and that panicked look almost made people think that he had been burned by the fire, but seeing that the three people in the courtyard were silent, looking like an ancient well, it made the young Sakumaki Renren forget what he was going to say.

"If there's a fart, let it go!"

Masaki Tanba, who was a few years older, rebuked in a low voice.

"Hai Hai Hai! The envoy of Sasa Naruma has arrived, and he is outside the city! ”

As soon as he was reminded, the quick-witted wine roll reacted.

"Oh...... Is it Suke-sama himself? ”

Hearing such a strange question from the eldest relative, the wine roll was so shocked that his jaw almost hit the ground.

Sasa Seimasa would come to accept the surrender of Ninja Castle in person?

That's impossible!

It's not just the sake roll that is tough, but the Narita Kai and Masaki Tanba next to them all have the same idea, and they think that it is the brain of the eldest relatives who has entered the water, so they will say nonsense.

"No, listen to the envoy himself, it's called Kawada Nagakin!"

“…… Got it. ”

…… It turned out to be that erudite and talented boy.

Narita sighed silently, feeling a little sorry for Sasa Narumasa not being able to be in person. They all thought he had water in his head, but he was actually very sober and intelligent.

He asked if the envoy who came to receive the surrender was Sasa Naimasa himself, because he thought that Seimasa would come in person.

If he doesn't even dare to come to a small ninja city, how can he set foot on Odawara and conquer Guanbazhou?

Sasa Narumasa prides himself on being half a hero in Kanto, but he is not a hero after all!

Years after the fact...... At a very fortuitous banquet, Kawada Nagashi told him the truth that Sasa Narumasa did not go to Ninja City that day because he was seriously injured and could not leave, which made the eldest family finally relieved, but it was a later story.

Narita Nagajin did not know that Sasa Naruma had been poisoned, nor did he know that the famous shogun "Uesugi Kenshin" was outside the castle of Ninja City at this moment.

He just waved his hand and let the sake roll lead Narita Kai to greet the messenger.

After the two left, the eldest relatives said:

"Damba...... Go and bring my sword and ribs, and then go to the lobby on the first floor of the castle tower, where I will wait for you. ”

He finished speaking and left, which surprised Masaki Tanba a little.

- Although the eldest is a samurai, he never carries a sword, and even in yesterday's battle, the eldest family only used a root gun as a walking stick...... Today he asked Tanbo to bring both the knife and the ribs, which was really a beep.

When Masaki Tanba arrived in the hall of the castle tower, the eldest relatives had already ordered the seats to be arranged, and he himself sat upright on the high seat, sitting upright, and although his face was still expressionless, it was as awe-inspiring as an arhat.

"Lord...... Your Tai Knife. ”

Intimidated by the power of the eldest relative, even the powerful Masaki Tanba couldn't help but call the eldest relative "the lord".

They had been in charge for many years, and Tanba had privately called his eldest relatives "lords", which was unprecedented.

The eldest proximity only pulled out the sword for half a foot, and saw the reflection of his eyes from the Xue Liang knife.

"Hmm...... What a knife. ”

With a "snap", he pushed the knife back into its sheath and threw it into Tanba's arms, but what he thought was ...... Why are my eyes so small......

"...... this?"

Tanba stared at the eldest relative suspiciously, he didn't understand why the sword he had just brought was thrown to him again.

"If you want to take it, you can take it, why do you talk so much nonsense......"

The eldest relatives shouted impatiently, although he was reprimanding Tanba, but it sounded the slightest difference from what he spoke on a normal day.

After seeing the knife, the eldest relatives took out the ribs to take a look.

Although he hasn't used the sword and ribs in the past few years, there are retainers in Ninja City who are responsible for maintaining knives, so whether it is his sword or ribs, it is still as bright as new, and it is an exaggeration to say that it is a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a blow and hair, but the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, and there is still no problem.

After a period of friction, the eldest family inserted the ribs back into his waist, and the wine roll outside the hall stopped at the door, and Narita Kai led an unusually handsome young man into the hall slowly, one sat on the left hand side of the eldest family, and the other sat opposite the eldest family.

"Did your envoy bring the decision of Uchizosuke-sama?"

Elder to eldest ...... Abu...... Narita smiled at Kawada.

"Yes...... Eizosuke-sama accepts the surrender of Shinobu Castle, and he decides not to hold Narita-sama accountable for his crimes. ”

"Hmm...... What about women and children? ”

Narita's eyes rolled, and his gaze fell on Narita Kai. In fact, he didn't care much about the daughters of the Narita family, he just felt that Kai Ji didn't want to leave last night, and he killed so many soldiers on the coalition side, if Sasa Chengzheng pursued it, it would not be easy to do.

"Virgins are not among sinners, so naturally they will not be disposed of, so adults can rest assured."

Kawada gave Narita an answer that was satisfactory enough for the other party.

"That's good...... That's good. ”

Narita nodded as if he had been amnestied, and Kawada saw all his reactions, turned his head to look at Kai Ji, and suddenly smiled:

"If Princess Kai is willing to marry my Nagao family, it will be the best."

"Toads don't want to eat swan meat!"

But it was Masaki Tanba who couldn't help but roar.

Narita's little eyes just blinked, and even Kai, who was the person concerned, didn't have such a fierce reaction as Tanba. But in the face of Tanba's collision and reprimand, Kawada Nagajin still maintained a warm smile, and in terms of this qi cultivation kung fu alone, he has already surpassed many people.

"Of course, this is just a personal offer, so you should listen to it as a joke. The next thing to talk about is a serious matter...... Uchizosuke-sama wants Narita-sama to hand over the military rations raised and supply them to us. ”

"Although there is no army left in Ninja City, there is no need to gather any more troops...... But in the event of a famine, the food is still useful. There are thirteen villages near Ninja City, and there are more than 10,000 villagers, and if they don't have a grain this year, they will have to rely on Ninja City's military rations to feed them...... Please forgive me for being stubborn, and the food in Ninja Castle cannot be handed over to Suke-sama Uchizo for the time being. ”

Hearing Narita's words, Kawada smiled.

Of course, he understood Narita's insistence.

The rainy season lasts only a month and a half at most, and it won't be long before it ends, and the Nagao family's crusade against the Hojo clan has just begun.

There was still some time before the rice and wheat harvest, and if they ran out of food during this time and were unwilling to withdraw from the army, they would have to rush to collect grain from the Kanto region to supply the army. Use.

By that time, the peasants had no harvest, and of course the little grain they had had already eaten up, and they were afraid that they would not survive the next winter.

Kawada Nagajin thought that Narita Narita was well-informed, but he didn't expect him to be so far-sighted and had already thought about what would happen after the autumn harvest.

"Since Narita-sama insisted, then I had no choice but to convey my adult's intentions to Uchizosuke-sama. So...... Please invite the young master of the Narita family out.,Uchizosuke-sama intends to invite him to the camp for a while.。 ”

It was only then that there was a smug smile on Narita's ugly and fat face:

"Don't hide it from your lordship...... Cousin he was kidnapped by the Hojo family and taken out of Ninja City, now ...... I'm probably already in the river. ”

"Oh?"

Although Kawada Nagajin still had that smiling expression, the surprise in his heart overshadowed it.

I heard that Ninja City launched a night attack last night, could it be that the Hojo Army took the opportunity of this night attack to leave the city?

However, Suzuki's iron artillery team was ambushed at the Edogawa ferry, and nothing was found last night, so if the Hojo army crossed the river to Kawagoe, how could they not have any news at all?

…… And this Narita chief relative is really enough, and he has already sent the young master of the Narita family out, so that Chengzheng's plan to establish Zhang of the Narita clan as the puppet governor of the Narita family has also failed. Chengzheng's calculations are already quite shocking, but this Narita chief can resolve them one by one.

"In that case...... I invited Narita-sama out of the city for a while. ”

"No...... As the representative of the Shinobi Castle, I am responsible for guarding the castle, and it is not appropriate for me to leave the castle until the two of us have reached a complete agreement. ”

Seeing that Narita Changqin is so stubborn, Rao is Kawada Changqin has a good temper, and he can't bear it a little, he is still young after all, youth is vigorous, and his qi cultivation kung fu is very good, but it is still a step worse than Narita Changqin opposite.

"It is not advisable for me to go out of the city...... But Princess Kai can, so please take Princess Kai to see Neizosuke with Lord Kawada. ”

When Narita Nagata said this, a pair of small eyes stared at Narita Kai, and there was a pleading look in the small eyes that had always been dull and ungodly.

Kai wanted to refuse, but when he met the gaze of his eldest relative, he couldn't help but bow his head.

"Wow...... Please report to Uchizosuke-sama as soon as possible, I'm still waiting for you in Ninja Castle. ”

Narita himself issued an eviction order.

After Kawada Nagajin and Kai Kai Ji left, Narita Narita breathed a sigh of relief with a slightly satisfied expression on his face.

…… Inside the Tsukasuke-sama, Kai she ...... I'll leave it to you.

Then, he turned to Tamba, who was already stunned, and asked:

"You wrote down everything I said just now?"

"Hay!"

After a moment's hesitation, Tamba nodded heavily.

"Sa...... Stand behind me with my sword and make a mistake for me. ”

"Nani?"

Masaki Tanba suddenly came back to his senses and was meeting the slightly dull smile of the eldest kiss.

Sick...... I'll do it today
