In the middle of Aoyama Castle, the Sugi family branch of Utamae Kuni, Utamae Kuni, and Sano directly stated the true situation of the fall of the Sugi family's Myomi Castle.

"On the way to Miaojian Yue City, my nephew was ambushed by several times the strength of our Luo family's army, and the main general Gong Chengcheng was killed in battle, and my nephew and the rest of the people also became prisoners of the Luo family.

"What? Even Lord Miyashiki-sama died in battle? How did so many Luo family troops get into the hinterland of their own family? The local tycoons didn't even know about it? Takaju Sano said with a solemn face.

"The nephew doesn't know, but Zhengliang Gong has always been known for his wisdom and bravery, and I'm afraid that sending a large army into the hinterland of his family is just a small ploy for him. Moreover, at this time, there were a large number of famine displaced people wandering in the territory of the various families of Fengqian Kingdom, and with the cover of these displaced people, it was reasonable that the Luo family's army could pass smoothly in various places. Sano personally analyzed.

"Since you were persecuted, I don't want to blame you for coming to the Shanjia family." Takai Sano said. At this time, Takaju Sano had no intention of betraying the Sugi family in his heart. The reason why he was so loyal to the Sugi family was mainly because it was the Sugi family who helped his two uncles and nephews and their family when they were desperate. He was still grateful to the Shanjia at this time.

"No, uncle, don't you know, after assisting the army of the Luo family to infiltrate Myokengaku Castle, the lord of Myomigaku Castle, Lord Sugi Shigeyoshi, was killed in the melee, and Iida Kohide, Calais Chengheng, Calais Tongzhi and other adults saw that they could not hold the castle. In the end, he also surrendered to the Luo family. ”

"What? Iida Kohide, Calais Naritsune, Calais Toonao, and others are not as you reported to Sugi Masashi earlier. Died fighting to defend the city. Instead, he defected to the Luo family? Takaju Sano was taken aback when he heard this.

"Exactly, uncle, even these adults have surrendered to the Luo family, and the family must not lag behind them!" Sano's pro-Shige took the opportunity to persuade him.

"In other words, the Sugi family is now in the Fengzen Country area, and the only one left is still under the command of the Sugi family?"

"Not bad! Moreover, when the nephew rushed to Aoyama Castle, Lord Iida Kohide and others were already preparing to pretend to be reinforcements to the Dragon King Castle of the Usa Omiya Sijia and deceive the gates of the Dragon King Castle. Estimate this time. Even the Dragon King City has fallen. Sano's kiss once again told the shocking news.

"What? If even Dragon King Castle falls, then in the central and western regions of Usa County, only the isolated island of Aoyama Castle remains. No, this news must be told to Sugi Zhengdai and others immediately, so that they can send troops to rescue Dragon King City in time. Speaking of this, Takaju Sano immediately stood up and prepared to go to report this important news to Sugi Masashige and the others.

"Uncle, please wait." Seeing that Sano Takaju was about to leave, Sano hurriedly stopped him, "Have you ever thought about whether Sugi Masashi will believe the news of your uncle?" Even if they do, how can Uncle explain to them the source of your message? Is my uncle going to hand over my nephew? Sano's affectionate words suddenly made Sano Takaju stand in place.

"Uncle, even if you are still loyal to the Sugi family at this time, and even handed over your nephew to show your loyalty, when the Sugi family knew that Yue Cheng was helped by the Luo family, it would definitely cure the sins of the family. Then at that time, because of my uncle's stupid loyalty, my family will really face the danger of extinction. Seeing that Sano Takaju stopped, Sano hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and spoke again.

"You ......" was said by Sano, and Sano Takaju really hesitated.

"If my uncle hasn't made a decision at this time, why don't you wait and see what happens, and when the Luo family's army comes to the city, it will be the time for my uncle to make a decision, otherwise even if he dies at that time, my nephew will bring a few of his subordinates to make trouble in the city." Sano said after kissing the most rear.

It is really just as Sano Qinshige said, on the afternoon of the third day when Sano's kinshige "escaped" into the Sugi family's Qingshan Castle, the army of the Luo family of more than 3,000 people came to the castle of Qingshan Castle. At this time, as the governor of the Sugi family clan who had fled to Aoyama Castle, Sugi Masashige was also debating with the Sugi family, who had already settled in the area, whether he should send troops to take back Myojian Castle. The sudden arrival of the Luo family's army, as well as the heads of the Usa Omiya Governor, Anxin Yuan and others who appeared under the city, suddenly lowered the morale of the defenders of Aoyama City to the lowest point.

"Hey!"

Looking at the army of the Luo family outside the city, and then looking at the frightened faces of many clansmen nearby and the expectant eyes of his nephew Sano, Sano Takaju finally sighed. At the moment of life and death, he finally decided to give up his gratitude to the Shanjia family in his heart, and instead thought about the life and death of his own family.

That night, the Luo family launched a fierce attack on Qingshan City, and in a section of the city wall that the Sano family was responsible for, the Sano family took the opportunity to cover a large number of Luo family troops to enter Qingshan City. In this way, Qingshan City, which was the branch of the Shanjia family, couldn't resist it for even a day, and was captured by the Luo family's army. Although Sugi Zhengzhong and Sugi Shige led the elite Sugi family of the Sugi family to fight back desperately, they were all drowned in the Luo family's army in the end. Since then, the Bunzen Kunisugi family, who have helped the Ouchi family manage the Bunzen Kunisugi family for several generations, has also followed in the footsteps of the Chikuzen Kunisugi family and has been annihilated in the long river of history.

After taking Aoyama Castle, the Second and Fourth Route armies handed over the local defense and territory reception to the second-line peasant troops of the Luo family and the retainers of the Internal Affairs Pavilion, who came later, and after a short rest, they hurriedly sneaked from the mountain trail behind Aoyama Castle to the vicinity of the Sunrise Castle of the Tianbei family in the eastern county of Toyogo Province on the other side of the mountains.

At this time, in Sunrise City, because a large number of troops were dispatched to Jiaowei City and Luming Yue City on the front line to participate in the battle, it was in a moment of emptiness. So the two armies of the Luo family took advantage of the opening of the gate of Sunrise City and entered the city in one fell swoop, not only taking the Sunrise City of the Tianbei family, but even capturing a large number of Tianbei family members and clansmen.

Just when the second and fourth armies of the Luo family took the Sunrise City of the Tianbei family, the fifth army of Zhengliang finally broke through the city of Lumingyue.

Due to the terrain of Luming Yue City, the Luo family's strength and weapon superiority were severely limited. And the defenders in the city are the elite of the Otomo family. So this time, the Luo family is completely attacking the city in a life-for-life manner. After nearly half a month of fierce fighting. After paying the price of more than 700 casualties, the army of the Luo family finally attacked the Honmaru of Luming Yue Castle.

After a fierce battle, the Luo family finally took the city. In the fierce battle, one of the defenders, Tian Beizhen Zhou and others, were killed one after another, and all the family members left in the city by Otomo Yoshizhen became prisoners of the Luo family. The only regret to Masahiro is that Usuki, who is the main general of the castle guard, has disappeared again.

So where did Usuki Jiansu hide?

It turned out that at the moment when the main pill of Luming Yuecheng was breached, with the help of several loyal retainers, Usuki Jiansu was hanging into the mountains and forests behind Luming Yuecheng in a basket with his sister-in-law who was only more than two years old in Otomo Yoshizhen. After entering the mountain forest. Usuki Jiansu took the sister-in-law of Otomo Yoshizhen and ran all the way along the path in the mountains and forests, and fled as fast as possible in the direction of Jiaowei City.

It's just that the Luo family's reaction was also quite fast, and after basically controlling Luming Yuecheng, Masahiro began to take over the local territory on the one hand, and sent people to scatter out to hunt down the retainers of the Otomo family who were fleeing. Because the mortarous pestle was on the trail, and the Luo family's pursuers not only walked on the avenue, but also with the assistance of the war horse, the Luo family's pursuers walked to the front of the mortar Jiansu.

Seeing that the road ahead had been blocked by the Luo family, in order to avoid being discovered, Usuki Jiansu had to hold the sister-in-law of Otomo Yoshijin, who was still asleep at this time, and turned to the direction of the seaside. He hopes to find a fishing boat there. So that they can escape to other places.

It's just that when Usuki Jiansu came to the beach, he didn't say it was a fishing boat. Not even a single plank was found.

"Is the heavens going to kill my Otomo's family?" Looking at the empty sea, Usuki couldn't help but muttered to himself pessimistically.

Just when Usuki was in despair, a lonely fishing boat suddenly rowed out of a corner of Beppu Bay. In the vast bay, this small boat is like a lonely boat, but it brings hope for survival to Usu, at this time Usui Jiansu can't care so much, and hurriedly beckons to the fishing boat and calls it to his side.

When the boat came to his eyes, Usuki Jiansu hesitated, because in the fishing boat at this time, there were not only three or four fishermen dressed as young and strong, but also a monk wearing a monk's robe.

"Hehe, it seems that I really have a fate with adults!" The monk looked to be only about twenty-five or six years old, and he was looking at Utaru Jiansu with a smile on his face.

"Does the master know you?" After hearing this, Usuki Jian was immediately stunned, and then asked. No matter how you look at it, this fishing boat looks a little problematic. Especially when this monk actually expressed his intention to know him, he had to be cautious.

"I once had a relationship with adults near Nakamura Castle of Shikoku Ichijo's family two years ago." The monk replied.

"Your Excellency is a member of the family?" Even if he was a fool, he realized that the monk in front of him was not a real monk at this time, so he immediately asked.

"Definitely!" The monk denied it, and then the monk turned his head to look in the direction where Hizen was located, and said with a little feeling, "I'm just a wanderer with no roots and no roots." ”

"Can you drop us off on the next trip?" Utari Jian said immediately. Since the other party was unwilling to reveal his identity, Usuki Jiansu didn't bother to continue to ask, and when the Luo family's pursuers were chasing him at any time, he still had to find a way to get out first.

"Are you planning to flee to Saeki's house in the southeastern part of Bungo Province? After all, there was almost no safe place for Kunito County at this time. The monk asked rhetorically.

"Exactly, I wonder if you can send it on the next trip?"

"Hehe, from now on, there are patrols and sailors of the Luo family along the coast in the southeastern region of Fenggo Kingdom, this route is really too dangerous, adults may wish to consider returning to Shikoku with them first, and then consider other places." The monk suggested.

"Your Excellency seems to be very familiar with the situation of my family, and when did Kunisaki-gun become an area where there is no place to settle?" Seeing that the monk seemed to be judging the fate of the Otomo family, Usuki immediately refuted. Although the city of Luming was captured by the Luo family this time, and the nearby wealthy families such as the Mufu family, the Naga family, the Tahara family, and the Fulai family did not know what was wrong with the road, and did not send troops to help, but Usuki Jiansu still firmly believed that the Otomo family would be able to persevere from this catastrophe.

"Hehe, it seems that Your Excellency is trapped in Lumingyue City, and you don't know the situation outside Luming City, after the Lumingyue City where the adults are surrounded by the siege, the Tahara family and the Fulai family in Kunito County were also attacked by the Luo family's treacherous schemes, and all parts of Kunito County and even the neighboring Fengqian Kingdom have been invaded by the Luo family."

"What?" Suddenly got the news, which surprised Usuki.

"My lord, seeing that the pursuers of the Luo family will arrive at any time, if the adults have not made a decision, then we can only say goodbye first." The monk said again. The monk also had a premonition that he could no longer accommodate himself in the local area, so he was in a hurry to return to Shikoku by boat, but it turned out that he happened to meet Usuki Jiansu here, so there was such a conversation.

"In that case, then please leave it to Your Excellency." After hearing the monk's suggestion, Usuki Jiansu pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth.

So, with the help of a fishing boat that suddenly appeared, Usuki Kansu took Otomo Yoshijin's sister-in-law to Shikoku. (To be continued......)
