"No, the Lord is fighting the enemy at the front, and as his woman, we must know how to share his worries." Ju Ji shook her head and said.

"Just. Madame ...... "Ajiu immediately planned to directly pick out Mingdao.

"Ajiu, you're talking too much." Ju Ji immediately scolded in a low voice. Born in a wealthy family since she was a child, she didn't know what Lu Dao Ajiu was worried about, but she had her persistence. Although she understood that Ajiu was bent on her good, what Ajiu was preparing to say now was beyond her duty. Out of the principle of protecting Ajiu, Kikuhime had to speak out to stop it.

"It's... It's—" Ajiu immediately shuddered.

"Well, don't talk about it to anyone. In addition, you can go and make a trip to Zhongxiao Temple for me and send a prayer. Seeing Ajiu's scared look, Ju Ji couldn't help but feel soft, it seems that her tone was a little too tough just now.

"Madame is going to pray for war?" Ajiu asked in a whisper. The story of the Otomo family's alliance army's attack on Hizen had already been known in the streets, and it was in the morning that Akutsu mentioned with relish, from the wandering artists outside the city, the heroic deeds of the lord's lord who had repelled the Otomo family's army several times.

Ju Ji smiled and didn't answer, she had already made up her mind. And this determination, she has already consulted with the rest of Masaliang's wife, and reached a consensus. That is, if the war fails, they will commit suicide before the enemy enters the city. They belong to Zhengliang alone.

A few days later, rumors began to circulate in the territory.

"It is said that several ladies prayed to Zhongxiao Temple every day."

"yes. They don't care about their health. Every night, he prayed with cold water from the well of the well. It's hard for the ladies. ”

"It is said that the lord personally wrote a letter to advise the ladies to take care of their health, but ......"

"It is said that several ladies knew that we were going to repel the enemy, so they did not listen to the lord. What an admirable virtuous person. ”

"In this way, the morale will be greatly boosted."

"We have to win."

"Of course. How can a dignified fat former samurai not even be as good as a few women? ”

Just as the women in Anyue City were doing their best for the stability of the Luo family, in Lianchi City, Zhengliang was frowning at the moment.

"Really?" Masashi confirmed with a solemn expression.

"Yes. Keeping an eye on the Ayabe family's Black Hawk, he discovers that the Ouchi family's spies have been frequently entering and leaving the Ayabe family's military tent recently. Kato Duanzo reported with a heavy face.

"Do you want to inform Shanxing Yun of this?" Kakukuma Ishizong said.

"Even if the other party informs the other party, will the other party easily believe the family?" Shinnosuke Akabane asked rhetorically, "This time, Sugi Xingyun lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. This is if this goes on. The situation is worrying. ”

When everyone heard this, they thought so. Shanxingyun is not a fool, and he also does not trust these retainers and wealthy families of the Hizenhara Shaoji family. Of course, at the moment of the great enemy, he didn't dare to take action easily against these land snakes, so he had to summon these wealthy clans to the coalition camp of the Ouchi family, ostensibly to form an alliance with these wealthy clans to resist the invasion of the Otomo family's coalition army, on the one hand, to try to control these wealthy clans and keep them under their own surveillance.

The purpose is beautiful. It's a pity. Shanxingyun underestimated the determination of these wealthy families. First of all, Shao Erdong still ignored the safety of his younger brother Shao Erzhengxing, who was disguised as a hostage of the Ouchi family, and resolutely raised the anti-flag in Mutian City. Sugi Xingyun, who learned the news, was furious, and immediately slashed and killed all the young two Masaxing and others in the Ouchi family camp, and then raised a large army to crusade against the young two Dongshang, but unfortunately it was delayed by the sudden attack of the Otomo family.

Shao Er Dongshang's rebellion aroused the vigilance of Shan Xingyun, and he began to think about how to deal with the retainers and wealthy families of the former Shao Er family. It's just that the time to think about it is too long, and the lack of decisiveness directly leads to the Ayabe family and other wealthy families who have already felt bad to start acting secretly.

The council hall was brightly lit, and Masahiro was kneeling on the throne of the city lord in full armor at the moment. In fact, his height was much taller than that of ordinary people at that time, but because he was only about 18 years old, his incomplete body and the metal armor on his body made him look a little thin. But this did not affect his serious majesty among the retainers. With such a young family owner, it took them two years to become the overlord of Feiqian from a small wealthy family.

Six or seven fully armored retainers sat on either side of the line, each staring at Masayo's face with solemn expressions, waiting for him to make the final decision as the head of the family.

Masarashi gently tapped the rough wooden planks and pondered. After a long time, he spoke: "As an ally, this kind of information must be reported to the other party, so let's send someone to inform Sagara-sama of this information in Chikuzen, and I hope that the change in the Ayabe family will not come too soon." "With Sugi Xingyun's attitude towards the Luo family, if he directly sent someone to report it, it was completely conceivable that Sugi Xingyun's attitude would be conceivable, so he could only let Sagara Takeren, who was also the person in charge of staying in Chikuzen, come forward.

"Besides, we have to prepare for the worst." Masarashi said in the end, "How is the terrain of Sefukuji Castle being explored?" ”

"Your Highness, we have all completed the investigation, and according to Your Highness's orders, even if there is a mountain forest near Sefukuji Castle, we have not let it go, and it is clearly recorded in the map. It's just ......" Wood Heavy Loyalty wanted to stop talking.

"Huh?" Masarashi raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kizo Shigetada, motioning for him to continue.

"Your Highness, please forgive Your Majesty for saying bluntly, due to the low walls of Sefukuji Castle, once the Ouchi family coalition army is defeated, with the terrain of Sefukuji Castle, it is obvious that it will not be able to stop the pursuit of the Otomo family's coalition army, if you try to use the method of cage city to resist the Otomo family's army, it will only make the family fall into an isolated island." Kizo Shigetaka said bluntly.

"Hmm. I've got my own hands on it. Masato nodded and said.

At this moment, the samurai outside the door reported loudly.

"What?" Masara asked. Under normal circumstances, if there is no urgent matter, these samurai who are in charge of guarding the gate will not come in and report it.

"My lord, Lord Tao Masata is asking to see you outside the door." The samurai immediately reported.

"Oh, let him in." Zhengliang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Due to the proximity of Gannambo City to the Beizhen Mountains. And there are quite a few mountains gathered there. These mountains often come down the mountain to loot everywhere, although they are forced by the strength of the Luo family, they do not come to intrude, but with the delay of time, after finding out the details of the Luo family, these mountain volts may really take risks to touch the tiger whiskers of the Luo family. Some time ago, after learning about Masahiro's troubles during a discussion, Tao Masahu immediately recommended himself to Masahiro, saying that he could go to the mountains to recruit some of those Yamanbushi and let them be used by the Luo family.

Since the last time Tao Masatori successfully persuaded the pirates on Hirado Island, Masara knew that this retainer had a wide network in Hizen, so he agreed to Tao Masatori's request. Now that Tao Masatoshi has finally returned, what is the result of the surrender? (To be continued.) )
