After half a day's journey, Kinoshita Hidecho arrived at Aki Castle, a fortified castle in the eastern Tosa country. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared with the Kuroda family's various big cities, not to mention Kuroda Castle, it is the Tsuyama Castle, Katsurui Castle, Yuki Castle, and Izushi Castle that the Kuroda family now possesses, which one is not a strong city in the world, and Anyu Castle is just a small city with relatively strong defenses.

After Kinoshita Hidenaga's horizons were broadened, he really didn't look down on this Anyun City now, anyway, as long as the Kuroda family occupied the entire Shikoku later, it was estimated that within the scope of Shikoku, it would be good to be able to leave eight or nine cities, and this Anyun City would definitely be demolished.

At that time, all kinds of wood, stones, and other materials that have been dismantled will be transported to other large cities to be used as raw materials for reinforcement. In Kinoshita Hidenaga's estimate, the entire Tosa Province estimates that the last remaining castles are the Nakamura Imperial Palace and the Castle of Kotoyo.

"Someone, stop, we're not welcome." Two gate guards stopped Kinoshita Hidenaga.

Maybe it's because the pressure brought to the An Yun family by Changzong's family is too great, and these soldiers maintain a very strong energy to defend the city even in broad daylight, preventing strangers from approaching. At least this makes Kinoshita Hidecho feel passable.

"Don't get me wrong, it's Kinoshita Hidecho of the Kuroda family, and I want to ask to see your family's governor An Yun Guohu." Kinoshita Hidecho said.

"An emissary of the Kuroda family?" One of the guards pointed a spear at Kinoshita Hidecho said.

"Please let me know."

"Then my lord wait a minute!"

"Hey!"

After a while, a man who looked like a samurai came to the door, bowed to Kinoshita Hidecho and said, "I have seen this lord in the old Heiyan Qinheng of the Xia Anyun family. ”

"In the Shimokuroda family, Kinoshita Hidenaga."

"It turned out to be Kinoshita-sama, and I had heard a lot about the deeds of adults before I went down!" Heiyan Qinheng said.

"It's just a small person, what deeds can there be! However, Lord An Yun Guohu is a famous warrior in the entire Western Kingdom, and he is admired! Kinoshita Hidecho said.

"My lord came to my An Yun's house this time, and I heard that I was asking to see my lord."

"Hey! I came down here again to ask to see Lord An Yunguohu. ”

"In that case, let's take Kinoshita-sama to the Imperial Hall! The lord should have been waiting there. Heiyan Qinheng said.

"Then bother your lordship."

At this time, two soldiers of An Yun came up and began to search Kinoshita Hidenaga, and relieved him of the ribs. For their actions, Kinoshita Hidecho did not do anything to resist. It may indeed be Changzong's family, and the An Yun family has been persecuted too much, and now when you enter the city, especially when you meet An Yun Guohu, it will be very strict, so as not to let someone take the opportunity to murder An Yun Guohu!

And based on the mission he came to this time, Kinoshita Hidecho did not resist, but to leave a good impression on the An Yun family! The life and death of the An Yun family, and the Kuroda family is now in full swing, in this case, the Kuroda family can still treat each other politely and show great sincerity, and the An Yun family should be more accepting of the Kuroda family!

"Lord Heiyan, now the Changzong and my family have been persecuting your family very much, right?" Kinoshita asked.

"Hey! That's true! Especially since the beginning of this year, the Changzong family has encroached on the land of thousands of stones of the family, and some of the retainers in the family have also betrayed the lord, if it continues like this, it may be a question whether the family will exist next year. Heiyan Qinheng said.

Heiyan Qinheng is actually not bad at all, because in the history of the An Yun family, it was destroyed by the Changzong family in the following year, the twelfth year of Yonglu (1569 AD).

In history, An Yun Guohu and his righteous brother conspired together to defeat the relatives of Changzong and my department, and then launched the famous eight-rate joint battle.

In the Battle of the Eight Streams, due to the division of Changzong's troops into two routes, they flanked the Anyun National Tiger army.

An Yunfang's Kotani left and right emon, and other retainers who had already communicated with the Nagazong family, also defected to the side of the Nagamune family. In addition, the originally scheduled reinforcements did not arrive, and An Yun's army's first battle in Yaliu Mountain, as well as the later decisive battle in the Baliu region, An Yun's army could only be defeated.

After that, An Yun's family could only cage the city in An Yun City, four months later, the food in An Yun City ran out of food, and the internal Ying Hengshan Minbu of Changzong's family, and poisoned in the well, An Yun Guohu proposed to spare the lives of the city soldiers, Kaecheng surrendered to Changzong's army, and at the same time, An Yun Guohu also committed suicide as promised after opening the city. An Yuncheng, which was originally owned by An Yun's family, was later handed over to Xiangzong, the younger brother of Changzong's Yuanqin, to manage it.

Because Anyun Castle is not large, Kinoshita Hidenaga was quickly taken to the Imperial Pavilion.

The head of the Yasuki family, one of the Seven Heroes of Tosa, Anyu Guohu has already sat in the first position.

When Kinoshita Xiu Nagazha entered the Imperial Pavilion, he glanced at An Yun Guohu, wearing a folding black hat on his head, wearing a straight casual dress with a good texture, but it looked quite old, but the whole dress was very decent, it seems that An Yun Guohu was still very concerned about the matter of the Kuroda family sending an envoy to come, otherwise he would not have worn it so formally.

You must know that the body that An Yun Guohu is wearing now is almost a costume that will only be worn when he meets the emperor or the ministers of the imperial court who come.

And Kinoshita Hidecho is just a messenger of the Kuroda family, from Kinoshita Hidecho coming to Anyun City just now, and now An Yun Guohu has received him, there has only been a gap of ten minutes in between. And An Yun Guohu would never wear this outfit and wander around the city blindly, which shows that he changed into this grand dress during this time.

The An Yun national tiger in Kinoshita Hidenaga's eyes is actually a little inconsistent with the name of his Tosa country's wealthy family. An Yun Guohu looks very ordinary, just like an older uncle next door, with small eyes and a very peaceful look.

His face is dark, which means that he often has to work in the field by himself, and a person who is white and tender will not work in the field. The part that can be seen in the palm of his hand is also relatively rough, which can be regarded as indirect proof of this. Kinoshita Hidenaga also had to work in the fields before he came to Kuroda's house and became a samurai, so he had a lot to say about this.

That's why Kinoshita Hidecho felt a sense of closeness in his eyes just now, this is a very real person! This is the feeling that An Yun Guohu brings to Kinoshita Hidenaga.
