102 returns
found the long-tailed Jinghu, and Sasa Narimasa, who thought the task was completed, encountered a real problem.
Long-tailed Jinghu is reluctant to go back!
Sister Jinghu is not willing to move the nest, and Chengzheng has no choice - if you want to kidnap Sister Jinghu and return to Vietnam, you can't tie all the way, right?
The twisted melon is not sweet, not to mention that Sister Jinghu's force value is so high, the action of kidnapping her is too risky, and if she can't get her nickname, she will be left in Koyasan.
So Narimasa stayed in Koyasan for a few more days.
These days, Narumasa has not forgotten to get along with Kansuke Yamamoto, and after understanding the knot of the chicken, Narumasa even enlightened the chicken...... Of course, it is always easy to enlighten others, and it is always difficult to untie the knot.
On the afternoon of the fourth day after finding Sister Jinghu, a Ji samurai hurriedly crashed into Koyasan.
After inquiring about the location of Sasa Naruma from the monks, this Ji samurai came to Okunoin non-stop.
"Lord...... Harunobu Takeda, out of Kawanakajima! ”
Takeshi Ji didn't seem to notice Nagao Keitora and Yamamoto Kansuke behind Naimasa, so he reported the emergency military situation...... Fainted!
To be precise, this Ji warrior has been traveling for days and days, and he is already exhausted and collapsed.
"Hey...... Tiger girl, wake up! ”
Sasa Chengzheng hurriedly went over and hugged Jing Yi Naohu, looking at the tiger girl's chapped lips and haggard face, he was a little distressed.
Alas...... I'm such a scumbag, how can I feel distressed......
Cheng Zheng was about to sigh a few words, but found that Sister Jinghu and the chopped chicken walked to the door of the small courtyard at the same time.
The small door was too small for one person to pass through, and two people were blocked there at the same time, and of course no one would pass.
But how could a dignified long-tailed Jinghu avoid a one-eyed dragon?
It's just that in the one-eyed eyes of the chopped chicken staring at Sister Jinghu, there is no intention of backing down.
So the two teases stared at the door with one eye and two eyes, and two eyes at the other, and no one could get by.
"My lord! I know you're in a hurry to get back to Echigo, but ...... Please give me a moment, I need to make sure her life is not in danger! ”
Hearing Cheng Zheng's words, Sister Jinghu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Of course, she understood how important the information brought by this Ji warrior was.
Even if she couldn't stand the shameless actions of the Echigo wealthy clans, she couldn't let the Takeda clan invade Echigo.
This is a matter of principle.
"Okay, I promise you."
Sister Jinghu turned around and walked towards the room where she was chanting, and when she passed by Chengzheng and Jing Yi Naohu, she stopped and looked at Jing Yi Naohu with a lot more appreciation.
"Take care of her...... We'll leave early tomorrow morning. ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
Cheng Zheng was sincerely grateful this time, and after kowtowing, he hurriedly hugged the tiger girl and went to the room.
"Lady Sazo...... Thank you for taking care of me these days, Sa...... See you on the battlefield. ”
Kansuke Yamamoto glanced back at Sasa Naimasa, and left without looking back, carrying the broken sword.
At the same time, Okuma Ashide, who ascended to the top of the castle and personally commanded the battle to boost morale, slashed down one attacking Ashigaru after another with his sword, until blood stained his body.
"Long-tail Masaki! If there is a kind, you will attack it, and Lao Tzu will never give in! ”
Daxiong Chaoxiu shouted at the top of the city, and the soldiers in the city shouted with him, and their morale was high.
Outside Kita-Shinano-Iiyama Castle, not far from this battlefield, Takeda Harunobu was sitting on a horse and waving a military fan.
At this moment, the Takeda Army launched a general attack on Iiyama Castle!
The Aizu Ashina clan marched to Tsugawa on the Echigo border, and Honjo Shigenaga also came to Yasuda Castle, sandwiched between Honjo Shiranaga and the Ashina Mori clan.
Naoe Keixuna in Itajo is sending messengers to Hokuriku Province one after another......
Early the next morning, a group of seven people, led by Nagao Keitora, Sasa Naimasa, Ii Naoto, Kashin and Akechi Mitsuhide, Maeda Keiji, and Koko Yoshinaga, set off from Koyasan to Kyoto.
On the evening of the fourth day, the group arrived in Kyoto.
In the early morning of the fifth day, Sasa Narumasa said goodbye to Akechi Mitsuhide and others, and Nagao Keihu and his party of 4 left Kyoto and headed for Hokuriku.
On that day, Yasuda Keimoto, the head of the Yasuda clan, finally made up his mind to resist the invaders together with Honjo Shiranaga, and the Ashina Mori clan at this time was only one day away from Yasuda Castle.
Echigokan Hayashi Castle, the home of Okuma Ashide, is still standing. At the insistence of Usami Dingmi, Nagao Masaki sent an envoy to the castle to negotiate peace.
In the evening of that day, Iiyama Castle raised the white flag, and Takeda Harunobu ordered the governor of the family, Takanashi Masayori, to seppuku.
On the evening of the seventh day, Nagao Keihu and his party of four arrived at Uozu Castle and met with the envoy sent by Naoe Keitsuna.
On the afternoon of the eighth day, the long-tailed Jinghu and his party of 4 people passed through the sky and did not know their children.
Takeda Harunobu took Goryeo Hideyori as the forerunner and led the army to approach Kasuga Mountain Castle!
Nagao Masakai, who hurriedly negotiated peace with the Great Bear Ashide, led his army back to the defense and stationed at the southern foot of Kasuga Mountain that night.
On the evening of the eighth day, Nagao Jinghu secretly entered Fudoyama Castle.
When Sasa Narumasa came to the Honmaru Hall in Fudoyama Castle, he was surprised to find that many people had secretly gathered here.
Of course, the main seat in the hall was empty, and it was reserved for Sister Jinghu to sit.
Below Nagao Keitora, there are a number of people, the lord of Fudoyama Castle, Yamamoto Temple, the famous Shinano general Murakami Yoshikiyo, and the adopted son of the lord of Itako Castle, Naoe Keitsuna, the lord of Tochio Castle, Minoru Honjo, the lord of Kitashinano Hirabayashi Castle, the eldest son of Katsunaga Shinobe of Kitashinano Hirabayashi Castle, the eldest son of Katsunaga Shizobe, and the son of Yasuda Keimoto, the lord of Kitashinano Yasuda Castle...... And, Nagao Keiho's sister, Ayahime.
Sazuo Chengzheng sat at the end of the retainer's seat, and Sister Jinghu also sat in a high position, holding a string of Buddhist beads wrapped in her hand, trying to keep herself calm.
"So...... This is the beginning of the assessment, and I would like to ask you to speak freely about the current turmoil in Echigo. ”
"This is the autumn of the survival of this sincerity...... Your Majesty is willing to obey all the arrangements of the lord! ”
As soon as Sister Jinghu spoke, the head of Yamamoto Temple jumped out in a hurry to show his loyalty.
"This is the autumn of the survival of this sincerity...... Your Majesty is willing to obey all the arrangements of the lord! ”
After the establishment of the head of Yamamoto Temple, all the retainers present - except Sasa Narumasa - fell to their knees in hula and showed their loyalty to Nagao Keitor.
Long-tailed Jinghu smiled bitterly...... Of course, she knew that the people who could still sit here at this time and participate in this assessment were loyal to her strength.
But here's the problem...... These powers alone are not enough to defend Echigo!
"Aligado!"
The long-tailed Jinghu actually nodded slightly at the retainers, she actually thanked the retainers and apologized!
"This time, Jinghu was reckless."
"Don't blame yourself! Speaking of which, it is still because our selfishness is too heavy that this series of serious consequences has been triggered...... So, please lead us to guard Echigo! ”
Sasa Narumasa also fell to the ground this time, not because he wanted to show his loyalty, but because he really felt it...... Sister Jinghu is very unlucky to have such a group of retainers in the stall!
"Please don't blame yourself, please lead us to guard Echigo!"
Once again, the retainers hula and bow.
Looking at the retainers with sincere expressions, the eyes of the long-tailed Jinghu couldn't help but heat up a little, she took a deep breath and stretched out her hand to help.
"Your heart, I, Jinghu, have indeed received it! Please cheer up and Echigo...... You guys are needed! ”
