As night approached, more and more retainers entered the courtyard of the head of the family's mansion.

And at this time, Longxin also arrived in a hurry. He chose a nook and crunch in the courtyard, his eyes fixed on the room separated by a wooden wall. Right there, at this moment, sitting the enemy of his family's extermination, Shao Erdongshang.

None of the surrounding Puchi family retainers noticed Takanobu's strange appearance, but after entering the courtyard, they all silently greeted the acquaintances, and then found a place in the courtyard to sit down silently.

This is the meaning of the head of the house, and you can't break in and disturb the guests. And since there was only a wooden wall, in fact, everyone in the courtyard could hear the conversation inside.

After a long and anxious wait, Shao Erdongshang, as the protagonist, is finally full of wine and food. The golden mouth finally spoke.

"Thank you, Lord Jiansheng." Shao Erdong Shang said gratefully.

"Hehe, who are also the subordinates of Lord Otomo Yoshikan, we should have supported them together, but why is Lord Dongshang so embarrassed?" Pu Chi Jiansheng asked wisely and consultantly.

"Hey!"

There was a long sigh from Shao Er Dongshang in the room, and then there was no more sound. Just when everyone's necks outside the house were about to look into the necks of giraffes, they finally heard Shao Erdongshang continue to speak.

"That's a long story! Mutian Castle, where I am located, was breached by the army of the Luo family. ”

"What? The Roche family? Hizen Eagle? There was an exclamation from inside the house.

"Yes, the day after I got the news that the coalition forces in my family's camp had been defeated, a group of routs dressed in the clothes of Otomo's soldiers came from outside the city. Then I gave the order to open the gates. Meet them. Who knows ...... way"

"The family's camp has been defeated? Could it be that the alliance of this family is defeated by the alliance of the Ouchi family? Kamachi Kansheng asked anxiously. He didn't care at all about how the city of the Shao Er family was breached, but he was very concerned about the situation of the coalition army. For the Kamachi family, the coalition is the only lifeline for him to deal with the current crisis. And before receiving the news of the fall of Haijin Castle, the last news about the Otomo family coalition army that Kamachi Jiansheng received was the news that the Otomo family alliance army had defeated the Ouchi family alliance army outside Lingbu City, and now how did it become a defeat for the Otomo family alliance army?

"No, the Ouchi coalition was routed by the coalition of the main family's camp, and it was driven out of Hizen Province directly. But it was defeated by the army of the Luo family. Shao Erdongshang's voice trembled slightly. Obviously, as the narrator at the moment, he is also in a very uneasy mood.

"It's the Hizen Eagle again?" Kamachi Kansheng was so shocked that he stood up directly. And the retainers outside the courtyard also looked at each other.

Yes, all the people of the Kamachi family, including Kamachi Jiansheng, were quite shocked. For a long time, they thought that the army of the Luo family at the border of the Puchi family was just a member of the Ouchi family's camp, and now that they suddenly appeared there, they just came to contain the Chikugo powerhouses, and at best they were just a small role. Only now did I suddenly find out that the small character has become the main character.

And Shao Erdongshang was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to the mood of the Puchi family, but continued to narrate on his own.

"After the fall of Muta Castle, I fled to the nearby mountains. Later, I received some news one after another, and it turned out to be on the day when the Otomo family coalition army defeated the Ouchi family alliance army. The Otomo clan was attacked by the army of the Ra clan led by the despicable villain of the Rashi family, and the Otomo clan was defeated, and it is said that they retreated to Katsuo Castle and Asahiyama Castle within a day, and most of the soldiers were scattered everywhere. ”

"On the way to retreat that day, the general of the Otomo family's coalition army, Yoshihiro Kanri, was also wounded and fell into a coma, resulting in the rout of the Otomo family's coalition army."

Shao Erdong's slow tone is gently narrating everything that has happened in the past ten days. Everyone, including Kamachi Jiansheng, became a loyal listener at the moment, listening carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"I hid in the mountains thirsty and hungry for several days, and finally sneaked into a house one night and grabbed some food, and then in order to avoid the pursuers who came to hear the news, I hid everywhere under the protection of several guards."

"A day ago, I finally found an abandoned boat on the Chikugo River, and I escaped across the Chikugo River to Chikugo. Before I fled Hizen Province, I also heard that on the second day of the defeat of the coalition forces, Lord Toji Kanren, who temporarily replaced the position of the general of Yoshihiro Kanri, formally negotiated peace with the Luo family under Katsuo Castle, and then the Otomo family alliance withdrew from Katsuo Castle and Asahiyama Castle, both of which had been occupied by the Luo family. The Late Coalition also withdrew from the Hizen Kingdom's borders. In response, the Luo family also stopped the pursuit of the Otomo coalition army at the border, but the rout in Hizen territory was still wanted, and I also heard that the head of a coalition soldier could be exchanged for two buckets of miscellaneous grain. ”

From Shao Er Dongshang's words, everyone can imagine that the rout of the coalition army has become a fragrant bait that everyone is chasing and killing in Feiqian at this moment.

"In addition, I also heard that three days ago, the Kamiyo family of Mise Castle also surrendered to the Luo family, and since then, Higashihizen has completely become the territory of the Luo family." When Shao Erdongshang said this, he felt a little sad in his heart. This is his territory, and it has been completely robbed of it.

After Shao Er Dongshang finished speaking, the compound fell into a long silence. The news I got tonight was shocking. It is unbearable for all people for a while.

Especially Kamachi Kanmori, he realized at this moment that he was about to face a behemoth that defeated the Otomo family coalition head-on. How should this be handled? Asking for help from the Otomo family, not to mention that the road to ask for help has been completely cut off by the Luo family, even if it is not truncated, is the Otomo family, who was greatly injured because of this war, really willing to send troops to rescue at this time? The last straw in my heart seemed to have gone with the wind, and a feeling of emptiness suddenly appeared.

Puchi Jiansheng's heart was completely bottomless. and those retainers of the Puchi family, who had been clamoring for war at first, also died down at this time. Some people even have other thoughts.

The banquet to entertain Shao Er Dongshang ended in such a silent atmosphere. After pouring out the words in his heart that he had been holding back for a long time, Shao Er Dongshang also fell into a trance, and even when he came out of the room and saw a large number of retainers of the Puchi family, he did not react, but walked out of the courtyard with the support of the maid.

Puchi Jiansheng, who accompanied Shao Er Dongshang, only sighed, and then waved his hand, signaling that the retainers could retreat. But inadvertently, he spotted Takanobu standing in the corner. His heart jumped suddenly, and he suddenly realized something, and immediately said, "Long Mage Pill, you stay!" ”

Takanobu, who was about to leave quietly, stopped with great difficulty, and then slowly turned around, looking at Kamachi Jiansheng with blank eyes. Judging from his expression, Longxin didn't seem to be abnormal at all. But his clenched fists betrayed his mood at the moment.

"Long Mage Maru. Lord Junior is still an important guest of the Otomo family, so at least nothing can happen in the family's territory, otherwise the family will be in danger. Puchi Jiansheng stared at Long Xin and said solemnly. But he quickly realized that he seemed to be a little too serious, so his face gradually softened, and he said again to Longxin:

"Long Mage Maru. You can also see the current situation in Hizen and Chikugo. Without the help of the Otomo family, the family would be in real danger. You know, when I took you in, I made the decision in the face of the opposition of many retainers. ”

"My lord, I see." Long Xin resisted the anger that was about to explode and saluted Pu Chi Jiansheng, then stood up directly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

The moment he turned to leave, Longxin buried his hatred for this family deep in his heart. He will repay the kindness of this family, but when the kindness is repaid, the revenge will also be repaid.

"Hey!" Looking at Long Xin's distant figure, Pu Chi Kansheng sighed, and then smiled self-deprecatingly, he regarded Long Xin's rude as an impulse of a young man who had just become an adult. After deciding to arrange a few people to monitor Longxin's whereabouts, he muttered to himself: "Now the argument between attack and defense is meaningless. ”

Yes, the recent offensive and defensive controversy between the head of the family and the retainers in the Puchi family is indeed undisputed. However, in the newly occupied Haijin City of the Luo family, a dispute between attack and defense unfolded between the two factions of retainers who gradually became more and more divided.
