Honjo was really anxious.

Once the Yohoku people crossed the Agano River, Nagao Masakai and Ōkuma Ashide's two sides would also send troops from the east and west, and they would surround Tochio Castle on three sides.

And Hojo Takahiro of Hojo Castle was blocked on the way north by the Joetsu reinforcements, so she couldn't receive the news of Kasuga Yamajo Castle at all.

I can only hope that the sovereign will return to China, preside over the overall situation as soon as possible, and come to the rescue.

The atmosphere in the council hall was silent, and when Honjo's thoughts were drifting away, there was a report from outside that a horse team had come down from the city, numbering nearly two hundred horsemen.

Minoru Honjo narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Under which flag?"

The outsider paused for a moment and replied.

"Ashikaga Shogun's house."

The people in the council hall were stunned, and Honjo scolded fiercely.

"What a noise! Be quiet! ”

Looking at the comer, his eyes were like knives.

"Ashikaga shogun's house? Can you see clearly? ”

The man replied hurriedly.

"His majesty said that he had a letter from His Highness, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I hurried to pass it on to you."

Honjo got up and walked outside.

"If you don't open the gates, find the hanging basket and hang up the envoy's letters.

I'll go to the city and have a look. ”

In the last sentence, she was speaking to Saito Asanobu, who nodded, and shouted that the presence was quiet, waiting for Minoru Honjo to return.

Minoru Honjo is relieved to hand over to Saito Asanobu, who is the best of the Uesugi Terutora side and hereditary Akata Castle.

This person is both wise and brave, can participate in internal affairs, and is also good at battles, and is the second person in the Honjo Minoru and the Uesugi Teruma faction.

Honjo was in a hurry, and soon went to the castle.

Looking out, there was indeed a white Ashikaga family pattern flag in the military column, and Honjo couldn't help but say that it was actually the imperial flag when he looked closely.

At this time, a Ji warrior had already been hung up, carrying a letter.

Honjo Minoru finished reading ten lines at a glance, and finally confirmed that Uesugi Terutora drew a charge, and then exhaled.

The lord didn't elaborate, but only told her that the identity of the person who came down from the castle was the governor of the Spo family, and he came to Kanto with the sword.

Although she wrote a few words in a hurry, the letter said that the gift of Tochio Castle to the Imperial Observatory as a move to the Kanto region made her stunned.

I don't know who gave this idea to the lord, it's really clever.

Honjo really didn't know that his lord was really giving away the castle, and he didn't know how capable this imperial platform was.

She thought it was just a stopgap measure, but it was enough to make the rebels wander and stall for time.

The lord Kamiraku was valued by the Ashikaga general, and sent the platform of the Imperial Observatory to proclaim the order, and the identity of the Kanto governor was really done, who would dare to question it.

Thinking of the depths, she smiled and asked the Spo family Ji samurai who came up.

"What do you call this one?"

The immature Ji warrior is neither humble nor arrogant, and replied.

"In Shimogamo Township."

Minoru Honjo nodded and said.

"Kamo Kui, you sit in a hanging basket and go down to express my apologies to the Imperial Terrace, the city is narrow and not suitable for a large group of people to enter.

Please go to the western wall of the city to the outlying garrison, and I will order someone to prepare it there for you to repair. ”

The Gamo clan frowned.

"No."

Honjo Minoru looked at this half-grown girl and said in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

The Gamo clan said with a solemn face.

"Since your lord has checked the authenticity of the painting, it proves that this castle was transferred to my family by His Royal Highness Uesugi, and naturally it should be garrisoned by our army.

Is there a reason in the world that there are garrisons outside and guest troops included? ”

Honjo Minoru reacted at this time, and his face was ugly.

She found that Uesugi Huihu's letter did not write that it was a false gesture, could it really be that Tochio Castle was given to others? How can this work?

Tochio Castle is the most important castle in Chuetsu, and how can you give it to someone else to take care of Joetsu, even if it is the Imperial Observatory of the Ashikaga Shogun.

She hesitated, and the Gamo clan was already holding the hilt of the knife and scolded.

"Why don't you open the door to greet the Imperial Observatory, are you going to disobey the orders of the Kanto Governor?"

The Gamo clan is very smart, and Sipo Yiyin has decided to call this trip the Imperial Observatory to the outside world, and he wants to make full use of the name of the Genji of Hanoi.

Under the power of the fox and the fake tiger, of course, she has to support the face of her own lord.

The martial artist is afraid of power and morality, if you are soft, others will dare to look down on you, how can you give in at will?

Honjo really glanced at this childish Ji samurai, and naturally understood her deliberate intentions.

If it was any other time, this kind of little girl was playing tricks in front of her, and she would have been slapped to the ground by her.

But at this time, her words pinched herself everywhere, so that Honzhuang really couldn't get out of his temper.

The Imperial Observatory, the Kanto Governor of two mountains, one represents the majesty of the Ashikaga family, and the other is the order of the lord of the family, how can she refute it?

Gritted his teeth and ordered.

"Open the city gate and welcome the royal platform into the city!"

Yiyin waited silently under the city, although the time was long, but it was silent.

As Honjo Minori and Gamo Township opened their doors to greet each other, he stepped forward and ordered.

"Shima Katsu Fierce, control the city gates along the way, the main roads, and each pill stayed behind to garrison.

The mountains are fortunate to be prosperous, and they bring people to the castle tower with me. ”

The two Ji sighed and did their own things.

Yiyin saw that Honjo really had a sad face and said.

"Didn't His Highness Uesugi tell you in his letter? Give me full power, and you will obey me. ”

Honjo was really stunned, there was indeed such a sentence in the letter, but it was written in a hurry, and she thought it was just a tribute to the Imperial Terrace.

Seeing her hesitation, Yiyin knew that she would be wrong, and said softly.

"Her Highness said to me, 'You are her close person, so that I should believe in you.

I hope you will believe me that I have the same interests as her, and that I am here to quell the rebellion, not to fight for territory. ”

He is handsome and extraordinary, soft-spoken, and has a good impression of Honjo Shinai.

At this time, she swept to Naoe Kanesu, who was in the queue, and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing her nodding slightly, she understood. Since the lord has commanded me like this, I have obeyed it, but I have a trace of anxiety in my heart.

With Naoe and Continuation, this Imperial Station did not choose to let her hang on to the city to coordinate, but ordered her to give a strong order to herself, is this a declaration of her independence?

At this time, it was inconvenient to think about it, she just sighed and led the way.

Yoshiin dismounted and handed the reins to Yamanaka Yukimori, side by side with Honjo Mino, and said.

"Let's go to the castle tower and walk slowly, and tell me about the situation in China and Vietnam.

I want to know the Ji warriors inside, who are our people, who can be co-opted, who needs to be suppressed, and who must be killed. ”

It was still that faint tone, but it made Honjo really a cool breath from the bottom of his heart, and the respectful expression on his face was much more real.

She bowed her head and turned her face sideways, explaining to this mysterious handsome Imperial Observatory the affairs of China and Vietnam and the reality of the various martial artists in the castle tower.

It's a very slow journey, but there is an end to it. Yukimori Yamanaka opened the sliding door of the council hall and bowed.

Yiyin took the lead and walked towards the main seat with his chest held high.

Honjo followed closely behind, and when he was seated, he sat down next to Saito Asanobu on his left side and handed her the letter in his hand.

Naoe continued to enter the room, bowed to Yiyin, and consciously sat down in the upper shirt on the left side.

Yamanaka Yukimori waved his hand, and two Ji warriors walked in behind him, closed the door left and right, and there was a sound of rapid footsteps outside the door, the knocking sound of weapons and armor shaking, and then there was silence.

Yamanaka Yumori bowed his head and walked to Yiyin's side, bowed and sat down, and spread the white flag to serve beside him.

During the whole process, the samurai in the council hall were silent, looking at the two Ji warriors at the door, and then at the imperial flag on the main seat.

Only Saito Asanobu lowered his head, looked at the letter, read it for a moment, and handed it forward with both hands.

Yamanaka Yumori took it with both hands, and half-turned and bowed in front of the lord.

Yiyin took the letter slowly, put it on the case, looked down with his eyes, and said.

"I am Yoshigin, the governor of the Spo family, and I was ordered by the general to take the sword and go down to the Kanto region to read the imperial decree for His Royal Highness Uesugi to succeed him as the governor of the Kanto region.

His Royal Highness Uesugi has dedicated this Tochio Castle to the Imperial Palace, and I am very relieved.

I don't know why many samurai families are gathered here? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Minoru Honjo.

Honjo really understood in his heart, and prostrated himself to the ground and said.

"On the throne, Echigo rebelled and disobeyed the king, and now he is in rebellion, and he is about to attack Tochio Castle and mess with me Echigo."

Yiyin was shocked and said angrily.

"There is such a thing!

This Tochio City is the temporary line of my Hanoi Genji descendants, who dares to risk the world's disapproval and surround the residence of the pillars of my martial arts, this is a great rebellion! ”

The two sang and harmonized, and the corners of the eyes of several martial artists on the right twitched.

This is different from what I thought!

Isn't the Fuchu Nagao family a martial artist? Where did Longtail Jinghu go? Who is His Highness Uesugi? Do we want to continue our big things? Do you still do this thing when you rebel?

Several people were panicked and made eye contact with each other. Its leader knew that it was not good, and asked with his bow on the ground.

"Dare to ask the Imperial Observatory, who is His Royal Highness Uesugi?"

Yiyin glanced at her and said lightly.

"Nagao Jinghu went to Luo Kyoto, and the general Enzhun inherited the Uesugi family in Yamauchi, succeeded him as the governor of the Kanto region, gave him the common character, and changed his name to Uesugi Huihu."

The man was stunned by a series of dazzling family names, and wanted to speak, Yiyin asked rhetorically.

"Who are you?"

She replied with a bow.

"In Shimokurotaki Castle Lord Kuroda Hidetada."
