"If it were me, I wouldn't be silent."

Just when he was so frightened that he almost shouted, Shao Er Dongshang suddenly felt a chill in his neck, and at the same time, a cold voice came into his ears.

Shao Erdongshang had never been so frightened and desperate, and it was as if he had returned to the days of fleeing a few days ago when he hid in the mountains and wilderness of Hizen, enduring cold and starvation.

"Hehe, don't worry, I won't kill you." The cold voice sounded again, "My lord asked me to send you something." ”

The moment the voice disappeared, Shao Erdongshang suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and then his consciousness began to gradually become confused. In the moment when he was completely plunged into darkness, he saw the invader pick up a bamboo tube......

"Humph! What a fool, do you think there really is such a coincidence that you can find a small fishing boat and make it all the way to Chikugo? It's all just my family's arrangement. With a pig's head like you, you still want to go against my family? The man in black shook his head and poured the liquid from the bamboo tube into the mouth of the unconscious Shao Er Dongshang.

After finishing the matter, the man in black said to himself, "I hope your next performance will not disappoint my family." ”

After saying that, the man in black carefully climbed out of the window of the wooden house, and then climbed over the fence of the courtyard and disappeared into the night again.

In the early morning of the second day, the unconscious Shao Erdong Shang woke up slowly, and then suddenly remembered something, and his fat body immediately jumped up at an unimaginable speed.

He quickly examined his whole body, then shook his head and said, "No, that's absolutely true. It can't be a dream. Then he suddenly saw a handful on the windowsill that he had never seen before.

Moment. Shao Erdong still felt his legs go limp. A foul-smelling liquid flowed from beneath him.

"Someone!" At this point, he couldn't care so much about it, and shouted almost out of conditioned reaction.

"No, where are you going to run away? Heading east? No, the road leading there has been controlled by the Luo family. Then there is only one way to go. Shao Erdong still muttered to himself. At this point, his only thought was to flee here as fast as he could. Under the repeated blows, he has already become a frightened bird.

"Your Excellency?" The three kinship warriors who had been following him broke in, and then saw Shao Er Dongshang standing in the center of the wooden house, and a large number of unpleasant smells wafted from the wooden house.

"Could it be that the head of the house wets the bed?" The three of them couldn't help but think secretly in their hearts.

"Quick. Pack your things! Just when the three of them were secretly guessing, Shao Erdongshang's voice came.

So, on the morning of the same day, Shao Er Dongshang avoided everyone's eyes and ears and quietly disappeared from the Puchi family's territory.

"What? Someone killed the person in charge of the spy last night? "Just two hours after Shao Er Dongshang disappeared, Puchi Jiansheng, who was in Liuchuan City, finally got the news.

"What about Lord Shao Erdongshang?" Pu Chi Jiansheng hurriedly asked.

"Gone, too, even his retinue." The retainer replied dejectedly.

"Huh?" Pu Chi Jiansheng screamed, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell on his back.

"Your Excellency?" The two little surnames behind him immediately supported Puchi Jiansheng.

"No way. Could it be him? No. Fast. Quickly pass on the long mage pill. Puchi Jiansheng shouted anxiously.

"No, it's good to secretly bring the long mage pill. Don't make a noise, let alone leak the news of Shao Erdongshang's disappearance. Do you know the way? If anyone leaks it, come to me. Just when the retainer was about to go down to carry out the original order of Puchi Jiansheng, Puchi Jiansheng suddenly stopped the retainer and then said such a sentence.

"Yes...... Yes. Although he didn't understand why the head of the family did this, the retainer quickly agreed.

Looking at the fading back of the retainers, Pu Chi Jiansheng breathed a long sigh of relief. During this time, in order to encourage everyone, he sent people everywhere to spread the news that Shao Erdongshang, the representative of the Otomo family, had come to his house as a guest, and that the reinforcements from the Otomo family would arrive soon.

Under this publicity, there was immediately a scene of encouragement and unity in the family, if everyone knew the news of the disappearance of Lu Dao Shao Er Dongshang, he really didn't know how Lu Dao should analyze it with his retainers and lords. Therefore, the news of Shao Erdongshang's disappearance must not be leaked.

It's just that it backfired. On the same day, in the Kamachi family's Shengjin Pavilion, Kamachi Castle, Yanagawa Castle and other places, it was reported that the Otomo family had abandoned the Kamachi family, and even the young two Dongshang, who was the messenger, had now disappeared.

The rumor soon spread throughout the territory, and then at the instigation of well-intentioned people, everyone went to the residence of the envoy of the Otomo family to check, and it turned out that the envoy of the Otomo family had disappeared. As a result, this rumor became more and more true.

When Kamachi learned of the news and tried to put a stop to it, the rumor had already been taken as true. No matter how hard Puchi Jiansheng tried, the people in the territory suddenly became panicked. Many people have their own thoughts.

As if to further confirm the truth of the rumors, a fast horse galloped in the direction of Ikutsukan, and along the way, the horse's ashigaru neighed desperately to the surrounding people to shout the news of the attack on Ikutsukan.

Everyone looked up in the direction of the Shengjin Pavilion in the distance, and sure enough, they saw that a black dragon had climbed into the sky. Everyone's mood fell to freezing point in an instant.

"Fujishiro, what's the matter with you?" When he saw that Ashigaru who came to him still had blood on his body, Kamachi Kanmori exclaimed. This person he knew, and this person was from a village near Puchi City, where his hometown was located. Because he once led a horse for Puchi Jiansheng before he inherited the position of family governor. So Kamachi Kansheng recognized him.

"Your Excellency, please hurry up and send troops to rescue the Shengjin Pavilion, the people of He Liubu are about to be unable to hold the city anymore." Ashigaru named Fujishiro cried and shouted. Speaking of this, his legs on the ground weakened, and the whole person collapsed directly to the ground.

"Quick, come on, hug it down for treatment." Pu Chi Jiansheng said immediately.

"Your Excellency. Please make a decision as soon as possible. The retainers looked at Kamachi Jiansheng one after another. Waiting for his decision.

"Hey!" Ka Chi Kansheng sighed.

Seeing the head of the house look like this. Everyone couldn't help but be deeply disappointed. Ay! The head of the house is still too young.

"Order, let Nishimuta Zhenxing and Harano Keitonshi of Kamaike Castle immediately lead troops to Ikutsukan to support, and let the three clans of Okawa, Fukuyama, and Koga near Kamaike Castle go out to the enemy army outside Ikutsukan, not to repel the enemy army, but to make it impossible for the enemy army to attack Ikutsukan with all his strength."

After a pause, Pu Chi Jiansheng continued:

"Ekuni Harano, you immediately go to Tajiri Castle, Yamashita Castle, and Maowei Castle, and invite the Tajiri family, the main family, and the Kuroki family to come to discuss the matter. It's time for the samurai to help each other. ”

"Yes."

The crowd roared into orders. Although everyone didn't understand why the head of the family had become so decisive, when the family was in danger, the head of the family was able to issue such an order, which had made everyone finally find the backbone.

"My lord, please allow me to return to the Isatsukan again with the reinforcements, and live and die with the Isatsukan." Fujishiro, who had already collapsed to the ground, struggled to get up and pleaded with Kamaike Kanmori.

"Good! You are a model of the bravery of my Kamachi family, and after this battle, I will personally promote you to the samurai of my family. Puchi Kansheng said happily. Such a fearless soldier in this time of crisis. It's a huge morale boost.

"Your Excellency the Head of the Xie Family." Hearing that he was about to become a samurai of the Kamachi family, Fujishiro looked very happy.

After receiving the order of the head of the house. Fujishiro followed the herald of the head of the family to Kamachi Castle and joined up with Nishimuta Jinxing, Harano Keiton, and others there. So, a team of more than 100 people began to move towards the Ikutsukan.

Subsequently, troops from several nearby villages, such as Okawa, also joined in one by one. The ranks soon swelled to more than five hundred. This is almost all the strength of the Kamachi family in Chikugo Mizuma-gun.

As one of the two main generals who led the team, Megumi Harano, after seeing more and more soldiers behind him, his originally somewhat nervous mood finally calmed down.

Just a few days ago, the head of the family suddenly promoted him to the side of the people, and entrusted him with the important task of assisting the fierce general of the family, Ximuta Zhenxing, to guard Puchi City, the Longxing land of the Puchi family. It was exciting for him for days.

You must know that Lu Dao is now the person in the younger generation of the family, whose status is second only to that of Ximuta Zhenfeng, the son of Ximuta Zhenxing. Today is also his first battle. He is ready to show his skills and compare Nishimuta Zhenfeng to him.

"My lord, when I went to Yanagawa Castle for help, I saw a suspicious person on this main road." Fuji Shichiro, who was the pioneer of the way, said to Nishimuta Zhenxing led by him at this time.

"Huh?" Nishimuta, who had always been cautious, suddenly thought about it.

"Bypassing this road, are there any other ways to get to Ikutsukan?" Nishimuta asked. Although he grew up in Chikugo, he had always followed this path when he went to Ikutsukan, but now he suddenly heard that there were suspicious characters on this road, so he had to be careful.

Fujishiro pondered for a while, and then said: "My lord, there is another road, which is along the Chikugo River, but there is a lot of flat land, and it is easy to be discovered by the troops of the Luo family on the other side." ”

"My lord, why don't you send someone to check on the front before making a decision." At this time, Megumi Harano also suggested.

"Hmm. Let's take a look. Nishimuta nodded in agreement.

Soon the results of the investigation returned, and a large number of unidentified horseshoe prints were found on the road ahead.

Obviously, such a result made everyone look solemn.

"Take the road by the river." In the end, Nishimuta decided to do so. So with the order of Nishimuta Zhenxing, the army began to turn to the Chikugo River.

But when they finally reached the flat road by the river, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves behind them.

"Huh? It's the cavalry of the Luo family! Run! Fujichiro, who was in the ranks, shouted. Then take the lead and run to the sandy beach by the river in front of you.

Most of the soldiers of the Puchi family were improvised peasant soldiers, and they were peasant soldiers of several wealthy clans, and when someone took the lead in escaping. They all ran along like a swarm.

"Bastard! Stop it! Flee to the woods on the shore. Nishimuta Zhenxing exclaimed.

But where will the fleeing people listen to him? Everyone continued to rush forward in a swarm.

But how is it possible to outrun four legs on two legs. Soon, a one-sided massacre unfolded on the banks of the Chikugo River. (To be continued......)
