The visitor of the Takahashi family this time is the head of the family, Takahashi. This made Masato feel a little surprised.

What surprised Masahiro even more was that Takahashi Nagazene came to surrender this time. This made Zhengliang instantly feel like a king, and the heroes came to surrender one after another.

Takahashi Nagazen's surrender this time was also forced to be helpless. Seeing that the army of the Luo family is advancing rapidly towards the Hakata region with great momentum, the Takahashi family's territory, which is the necessary place to advance from the southern region of Chikuzen Province to the northern Hakata region, naturally has to face the army of the Luo family. So he hurriedly asked for help from Naito Prosperity, who was in Hakata at this time. It's just that Naito Xingsheng is also anxious at this time, and there is time to take care of Takahashi Nagan, plus he has an original ultimate, so Takahashi Naganza's request for help is naturally closed.

In this way, after learning that the Tsukushi clan of Shibata Castle had surrendered to the Luo family, he was completely panicked. Do you know that the only general in his family who can take on heavy responsibilities, Kitahara Zhenjiu, is still "guest" in the cell of the Luo family at this time? What's more, Beiyuan Zhenjiu had taken away a lot of elites in the family before, and now with the little strength left in the family, it is completely impossible to resist the army of 30,000 people of the Luo family (in fact, there are only more than 10,000 people, and the slogan of 30,000 people is just a fabrication made up by the Luo family detective in order to increase his own prestige and intimidate the wealthy clans in front of the family).

Takahashi doesn't have much of the ability to breed others, but his self-knowledge is still good. He thinks that he can't even compare to Sugi Xingyun (this is also the reason why the Takahashi family is a neighbor of the Sugi family, and the territory area is about the same as the Sugi family, but the Takahashi family has always been the Sugi family's followers), and now the Sugi Xingyun has been killed by the Luo family. How could he resist the army of the Luo family.

At this time. From a local monk who had always been friends with Takahashi Nagane, it was reported that the Luo family was secretly talking with representatives of all the temples in the nearby area in Dazaifu. Even more coincidentally. The letter of surrender sent home by the envoy of the Kuto Luo family in Kitahara Town was also sent to Takahashi Naganaga at this time, and after learning that as long as the Takahashi family was willing to surrender to the Luo family and abide by the laws of the Luo family, he could keep his family's original territory, so after a little thought, he directly brought people to Dazaifu to surrender to Masahiro.

For Takahashi Nagane's voluntary surrender, Masashi was indeed quite surprised. In particular, Kitahara Zhenjiu's letter of persuasion is actually just a routine matter. Basically every battle before every wealthy family. In this raid on the western region of Chikuzen Province, Masahiro will send someone to send a letter of persuasion. And for the Takahashi family, Masara is indeed a little impressed.

It can be said that as one of the few Gaojiage (that is, high-blooded) families in the Kyushu region, it is both lucky and unfortunate when its own strength is weak.

Fortunately, because of the blood of his high family, and in order to win over other wealthy families and ordinary commoners, ordinary rulers are courteous to these families. In the final analysis, the Takahashi family is a torii established by the Ouchi family and the Sugi family to strengthen their rule over Chikuzen Province. Otherwise, with the weak strength of the Takahashi family at this time. It has been wiped out dozens of times by other wealthy clans.

Unfortunately, its high-ranking bloodline is a delicacy coveted by many rulers. And that's exactly what happened. Historically. After Otomo Sorin's occupation of Chikuzen Province, he sent Imanda to change his name to Takahashi Kanzhong and settle in the Takahashi family, becoming the adopted son of Takahashi Nagane and inheriting the family governor. It's just that Otomo Sorin, who thought he was a good chess player, never imagined that in the future, this Takahashi Kan would respond to the call of the Maori family to raise a flag to rebel against the Otomo family (it is said that another reason for the rebellion was because Otomo Sorin, who forcibly took the wife of Takahashi's brother Imanda Komi and forced him to death). After the surrender of Takahashi Kanzhong, Otomo Sorin, who sent Yoshihiro Zhenri, the second son of the Yoshihiro family, who was related to Takahashi's main family, the 100tian family, to succeed the Takahashi family and serve as the governor of Iwaya Castle. Since then, the original bloodline of the Takahashi family has long ceased to exist. It's sad enough.

After getting the surrender of the Takahashi family, Masayo naturally immediately accelerated his advance to the Hakata area. On the twentieth day of the 17th year of astronomy, the army of the Luo family set out from the Iwaya Castle of the Takahashi family, and the troops were divided into two routes, one was led by Kai himself, and under the leadership of the army of the Takahashi family, the head of the land, marched east to the Takatorii Castle of the Sugi family in the county of the Takaya family; On the other hand, under the command of Yoshida Shigemasa, after converging with the local wealthy clans such as Tsukuma, Hoshino, and Kusano, they rushed straight to Hakata. In line with this, the Tachibana family's army, which had been forced to surrender due to the capture of the Governor Tachibana Kanmitsu, also marched from Tachibana Mountain Castle and attacked Hakata from the east.

Just as the army of the Luo family was marching towards the territory of the Sugi family, Masara came to the gate of a temple called Baishui Temple at the foot of Hakusui Mountain in Naka County, Chikuzen Province with an army of more than 400 people.

Masahiro is here to pick people up today. The protagonist who was picked up was Sagara Takeren who married Masara's daughter Sagara Risa. Previously, she went home to visit relatives at the request of Sagara Takeren, but because it coincided with the Ouchi family tearing up the alliance with the Luo family, she was placed under house arrest and was not allowed to return to the Luo family.

After overhearing his father Sagara Takeren talking to his retainers about Yoshitaka Ouchi's preparation to reneg on the covenant and deal with the Luo family, Sagara Risa decisively sent a trusted servant to the Luo family overnight to report the news. It was also this report that made Yamamoto Kansuke realize that there was a change in the Ouchi family, and quickly sent people to the rescue site where Masato was ambushed, so as to avoid the fate of Masayo's death. Otherwise, even if Masashi can hide in the grass of the river under the cover of his retainers, sooner or later he will be searched out by the enemy.

And Sagara Risa's act of reporting the news this time was categorically unable to escape Sagara Takeren's detection, but Sagara Takeren, who knew afterwards that he could not catch up, had to hurry to Nagato to fight with the Niko family according to Ouchi Yoshitaka's request to avoid suspicion. At the same time, before leaving, he sent his daughter to Hakusui Temple, where he was a good friend of the Sagara family.

Sagara Takeren's arrangement is also to protect Sagara Risa, and even more so to avoid suspicion, so as to protect his own future. After all, after the Ouchi family and the Luo family became enemies, Sagara Risa, who was the side room of the Luo family's governor Luo Masayo, would naturally become the target of attack by the retainers of the Ouchi family, not to mention, if Sagara Risa's previous whistleblowing to the Luo family was leaked, Sagara Risa would become the target of public criticism. Therefore, arranging Sagara Risa to become a monk is the safest way.

When Masara arrives outside the gates of Hakusui Temple. It's already dusk. The White Water Temple, which is already in a remote place, is even more sparsely populated. This ancient temple is shrouded in a hazy night mist. Like a silhouette floating on a floating cloud, it looks extremely silent and solemn.

The arrival of the Luo family's army suddenly made the temple, which had fallen silent, boil. Masarashi waved his hand to his subordinates to drive aside the temple host, who had heard the news and came out to inquire, and then went straight to the courtyard where Sagara Risa was, escorted by soldiers.

In fact, after finding out the location of the temple where Sagara Risa was a monk, Masara had already sent someone to secretly protect it nearby. After all, the Chikuzen Kunisai region at this time was quite chaotic. Due to the war between the Luo family and the Ouchi family, the local strength was also ready to move, causing the local law and order to suddenly become bad. Almost every day, there are vicious incidents such as robberies and revenge hunts, and Masarashi is worried that the temple will also be impacted, so he decides to come here in advance to pick up Sagara Risa before the decisive battle of Hakata.

"Who are you?" Just as Masarashi and the others approached Sagara Risa's courtyard, five or six people rushed out of it in an instant and blocked the gate of the courtyard.

"Your Excellency?" Just as Masato ordered these people to be forcibly pulled away, one of the people on the other side suddenly exclaimed, and then quickly knelt on the ground and shouted, "The villain greets Masaliang-sama." The man apparently recognized Masara himself, and deliberately knelt down loudly in order to inform the people in the courtyard that it was Masara himself.

"Huh? Keep your head up. As the man knelt down, Masara seemed to hear the familiar voice from his voice, so he immediately said.

"It turned out to be you. Lead the way. "When the kneeling man lifts up his head. Masarashi immediately recognized this person, he was the servant who rushed to Luo's house overnight to report the news for Sagara Risa. So he immediately ordered.

"Yes. Adult, please. This servant was quite smart, and he knew that Masahara was here for Sagara Risa this time, so he quickly saluted again and stood up, and then motioned to a few people behind him to get out of the way, and went directly to the courtyard with Masaara. Of the few people guarding the courtyard gate, three of them didn't seem to be from the Sagara family, but the servant persuaded them to get out of the way.

When Masara walked alone into the Buddhist hall where Sagara Risa usually worships Buddha, he found that there were a total of six women in it at this time. Four of them, apparently maids, were nervously bowing to the ground at this time. Risa Sagara, on the other hand, was standing in front of the Buddha statue with another person, staring nervously at Masarashi who suddenly broke in.

Sagara Risa, who was originally extremely nervous, suddenly saw Masayo and went straight there. She had just heard the servants outside the courtyard gate shouting, and vaguely heard the words "Lord Zhengliang", but she still didn't believe it in her heart. Now that I suddenly see Masahiro himself, I'm really a little blindsided.

Since it was still in the war phase, Masara was also wearing an armor and a helmet at this time. After seeing Sagara Risa, he directly took off the helmet on his head, and then after throwing it away, he walked directly to Sagara Risa, who was still sluggish, bent down, grabbed it with both hands, and directly hugged Sagara Risa.

"Huh?"

Risa Sagara was startled by Masara's sudden movement and immediately screamed.

"Po" Masarashi directly kissed Sagara Risa's mouth. At this time, Sagara Risa's long hair is tied to the ground, and the small bud that gradually develops on her chest also rises and falls due to tension, which is indeed a little tempting.

"What's the matter, I don't even know my husband anymore?" Seeing Risa Sagara shyly burying her head in front of her chest with her eyes closed, Masarashi asked with a smile.

"Husband...... Husband! Opening his eyes and looking at Masara's smiling eyes, Risa Sagara finally whispered in a mosquito-like voice. In fact, this is also the first time that Risa Sagara and Masarashi have had such an intimate action. Previously, because Masara considered that Sagara Risa was still young, he hadn't finished the room with her yet.

"Po" Masarashi kissed Sagara Risa again after hearing this, and then decided: "Okay, come home with me." Ju Ji at home, they miss you very much, right? ”

"Huh? Husband-sama, but ......" Risa Sagara was immediately shocked when he heard this. Obviously, even after seeing Masaara, she still planned to stay in the temple in her heart. After all, she didn't want her father to be embarrassed.

"Okay, your mother and the people are already waiting at home, you must go back with me today, and then I will arrange for someone to escort you to live in Hizen." Masarashi didn't care about Sagara Risa's thoughts, and decided directly. For this time, Sagara Takeren did not secretly inform him of the choice of the Ouchi family's conspiracy. The political conscience is stubborn. Therefore, Masayo decided to take advantage of the opportunity to enter Chikuzen Province. The Sagara family who temporarily settled here was forcibly relocated directly to Hizen Province, so that Sagara Takeren could taste the feeling of losing his wife and daughter after returning from Nagato Province.

Although I was reluctant in my heart, but after all, I was only a teenager little Lori, and I didn't have any firm opinions, and now I saw that her husband was determined to move her and her mother and others to Hizen Country, and she had no choice but to acquiesce.

"Huh?" After seeing Sagara Risa's acquiescence to his arrangement, Masara was about to instruct the rest of the maids in the council hall to prepare to pack Sagara Risa's luggage. At this time, he suddenly saw another woman who had been standing next to Risa Sagara before. When he saw her face, Masahiro was immediately struck by lightning. Nima's, this is simply another Nozomi Aso. That look, long hair, and the career line hidden under the kimono, it's completely another Aso Nozomi in Lori's version.

"Huh?" Feeling Masara's rather aggressive gaze, the woman who was petrified by the sudden sight of Masara and Sagara Risa's bold intimate movements immediately exclaimed, and then quickly knelt on the ground and saluted: "Slave Aso Nozomi greets my lord." ”

From the conversation between Sagara Risa and this man, she had already vaguely guessed the identity of this man. This time, she also happened to be passing by Hakata and learned that her childhood friend Risa Sagara was here to bring her home. So I came to visit. Unexpectedly, I encountered such a good show.

"Poof!" Just as Aso Nozomi was speculating in his heart, Masashi almost ran wild after hearing Aso's self-introduction. Nima's. Could it be that this woman is also crossing? Not only does he look very similar to Nozomi Aso in later generations, but now he even has the same name. Now Masahiro is a little convinced that the later generations of Aso Nozomi inherited this woman's bloodline.

"Hey, the Aso family in Toga-gun is yours?" Just when Masara felt incredible, he was suddenly noticed by the surname "Aso", and then immediately thought of the Aso family, the largest family in Toga County, so he asked casually.

"It's the slave's own family." Nozomi Aso replied immediately. At this time, Aso Nozomi was a little cautious in his heart. Because she clearly felt the man's wolf-like eyes on him, she was already a little worried about her situation. So she simply lifted out her family, hoping to scare off the other party's bad intentions.

It's just that Nozomi Aso misunderstood Masahiro. Because Fang Cai Masarashi directly regarded her as the Aso Nozomi of the later generations. That's why I have such a look. What made Aso even more unexpected was that it was okay that she didn't lift out her family, but after she came out, it attracted Masara's attention to her, and even put her in trouble because of this.

"Aso? You are the woman of the Aso family who is about to marry the concubine of the Naito family, Naito Xingsheng? After Masara learned that Nozomi Aso in front of him was from the Aso family, he immediately thought of many things, especially immediately remembered the information about the Naito family in the Intelligence Pavilion before. It just mentions the news that the Chikuzen Aso family is about to marry the Nagato family (in fact, the most difficult marriage in history was also ended after the intervention of the Ouchi family).

And he instantly understood why Nozomi Aso was here. It turns out that the Aso family and the Sagara family have always been good friends. In history, when Tao Longfang succeeded in plotting rebellion, he immediately began to pacify dissidents. The first target was naturally to prompt him to resolutely rebel against Sagara Takeren, the representative of the Ouchi family literary faction. When he was hunted down, Sagara Takeren first fled to Sugi Xingyun, so Sugi Xingyun was immediately besieged by Tao Longfang and finally died in battle, and the family perished. Sagara Takeren, who was lucky enough to escape, fled to Aso's house again. The Aso family was naturally attacked, and the most reluctant had to succumb to the Tao Takafang, and finally captured Sagara Takeren, who died in the Aso family's Hanao Castle. At the beginning, Sagara Takeren only hid in Aso's house when the two families had always had a good relationship, but he was finally betrayed.

"Huh?" Nozomi Aso was also suddenly shocked when he heard Masara say this. She sensed that the other party was terrible. Because the marriage with the Naito family is just a matter that the Aso family and the Naito family are discussing, although it is about to be decided, but it is still in secrecy, and even the Ouchi family, which is the clan, has not yet received the news, and she only learned about it because she was the female protagonist of the marriage, and the man in front of him actually knew the truth. This had to shock her.

"In that case, please come with Risa to our house. Just to accompany Risa to relieve boredom. After hearing Nozomi Aso's sudden exclamation, Masashi said directly.

"This, my lord......" Nozomi Aso said but was ready to postpone it.

"Well, that's it, come on, prepare the itinerary for Mrs. and Aso-hime, and be sure to escort them to Hizen tomorrow." It's just that Masashi didn't allow Aso Nozomi to refuse at all, he immediately interrupted Aso's words, and then directly ordered his subordinates outside the door.

Nozomi Aso was completely frightened at this time. That's an invitation, it's just a direct compulsion. More importantly, with his own visit to the Luo family, the impact is significant.

The first is that his reputation is not guaranteed. An unmarried woman is rumored to be living with the wife of the Luo family governor in the Luo family's main city, which is easy to make people have bad associations. So this time the marriage between the main family and the Naito family is likely to be affected by this.

Secondly, as soon as the news of her in the harem of the Luo family came out, this will definitely make the Aso family, who is in the camp of the Ouchi family, the object of suspicion. The Aso family was suddenly on the cusp. Thinking of this, Aso Xi's heart suddenly died. She didn't expect that a visit trip that had been good would suddenly evolve like this.

"Husband-sama?" Sagara Risa, who was lying in Masaara's arms, also realized that something was wrong at this time. She didn't want her friend to be dragged down because of herself, so she quickly shook Masaliang's shoulder and said.

"Okay, Rihime, I promise you, I will never be rude to Aso-hime, as long as she stays by your side, she will be fine." Hearing this, Masarashi said to Sagara Risa in his arms.

"Listen, you already know who I am. I'm not afraid to tell you, the army of the family has surrounded Hakata, and soon, the western part of Chikuzen Province will become the territory of the family, and sooner or later the family will dominate the entire Chikuzen Province. I hope you can stay by Riki's side well, otherwise, when his Japanese family enters Taga County, it will be the day when the Aso family is wiped out. On the one hand, Masashi promised not to be rude to Aso, and on the other hand, he warned Aso not to do stupid things (after all, some fierce women will really commit suicide).

"As for your family, I will send someone to inform you of your whereabouts, and my brother will probably send someone to pick up your family at that time." Zhengliang comforted after the most reluctance. In fact, at this time, Masarashi was already considering whether to write a letter to Naito Xingsheng, who was in Hakata, telling him that his eldest daughter-in-law had been robbed by him. (To be continued......)
