Madame Nado's face was very pale, and she looked at the child in her arms, and there was a slight hint of love on her face, which was soon replaced by fear and trepidation, and she did not know what to do.

At this moment the footsteps of the maid were heard in the corridor, and when she reached the door, she stopped, and then reported, "Lord Nado asks to see you!" "Lady Nado is the father of Mrs. Nado, so he is respectfully called Lady Nado. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Mrs. Nado did not look up, hesitated for a moment, and then replied, "Ask him to wait in the drawing-room." "She can't let Naita Kanki see Otomo Yoshijin fainting and dying soon.

Living room.

Naita Kanki knelt down and saluted with a solemn face, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

Mrs. Naido was expressionless, and asked straight to the point, "Father, how is the situation outside?" Although she had some people listening to the movements outside, most of them were people like old mothers, and they couldn't hear more about the situation outside the city.

Naida Kenki shook his head, looked at Mrs. Nado, and said very solemnly: "The situation is not good now, after the defeat of Anqichuan, the situation is so bad that it is impossible to save. ”

What should have been said has been said, and what should not be said can only be understood but not said, and Madame Nado has already understood it. She didn't expect that the situation would be so bad that even the Date Navy appeared inside and outside the harbor.

Mrs. Naido asked, "Is it really to the point of no return?" ”

Naita Kanki straightened up, carefully looked around, and said, "Now is the time to make up your mind?" ”

"Determination?"

"The lord was defeated, internal and external troubles, now there are strong enemies outside, there are hidden dangers inside, it is impossible to win a battle with the Date family, even if he survives by luck, the young master will definitely be killed."

Nado Kanki said, secretly admiring the pained expression on Mrs. Nado's face. "If you want to save the young master, you have to ...... now Do you understand? ”

Mrs. Nado looked at her father suspiciously, unable to understand why her father was trying to persuade her to surrender to the Date family, and looked up and asked, "Father, why do you want our mother and son to join the Date family?" ”

Naita Kanji took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Fujiko, you are from the Naita Onomiya family, and the longevity pill is my grandson, and the Naita Omiya family and the longevity pill can be said to be a relationship of both prosperity and loss. Even if the Naita Omiya family wants to abandon the relationship with the longevity pill, no one believes that at this time of crisis, others would rather kill a thousand wrong than let go of one, do you think this reason is enough? What's more, don't listen to the nonsense of Yoshioka, Yoshihiro, Toji and others, the trees are falling and scattered, and it is difficult to guarantee that they have no other thoughts. ”

For the first time since Lady Nado got married, she called her by her original name, and in a heartfelt way, Lady Nado knew that what Nado Kanki said would not be added, otherwise she would not have entrusted the defense of the inner castle to Nado Kanki and Tahara kin-gen.

Naita Kanki continued: "Fujiko, at this time of crisis, now that the father of Funai Castle still has seventy percent of the soldiers and horses, Yoshioka, Yoshihiro and others dare not be too embarrassed, once the Toji Michiyuki army returns? ”

Naita Kanki convinces Lady Nata, and he tells her a very simple truth, with her current situation, the longevity pill is still useful to Yoshioka, Yoshihiro, Toji and others, who wants a woman to sit on their heads. Therefore, Mrs. Nado now has only two choices, one is to wait for Otomo Yoshijin to wake up, then everything will be suspended, but if Otomo Yoshijin can't make decisions for their mother and son, then they have to go to Date House. Before the Otomo family was completely destroyed, he went to beg the Date family to save himself and the longevity pill.

Mrs. Nado was unable to decide, and replied, "Let me think about it. ”

Naita Kanki did not force Mrs. Nado, but just responded: "Please decide as soon as possible, the Toji Michiyuki Advance can return within two or three days, and the Date Army will form an encirclement within four or five days." ”

After saying that, he retreated.

Mrs. Nado, who was holding on, fell to the ground with a limp.

The inner city of the house is divided into the outer hall and the inner hall, if it is in normal times, from a distance, the scattered bluestone bricks present a quiet and peaceful pastoral scene under the glow of the sun. Standing on the castle of Funai, you can see the Seto Inland Sea in the distance.

However, since the defeat of the town of Otomo Yoshitsu in the north of the Yasuki River, the original beauty has become an undefended coast, and it may be attacked by the Date family's naval army at any time, and it has become stormy and miserable.

A day later, on August 29, Yoshihiro Kanri and Yoshioka Nagazou received a message from the plenipotentiary representatives of Toji Michiyuki from Funobu and Toji Michiyuki.

In the evening, the living room of the castle hall inside and outside the prefecture was crowded with Otomo retainers from all over the world. They were ordered to rush back after receiving an urgent summons from the three elders of Otomo.

The news of the landing of the Date Army in Kunisto and Kaibe Counties cannot be concealed, and the Otomo retainers in Bungo's country know more or less about the situation, but the more detailed situation is not known yet.

However, rumors are flying all over the world, whether it is a descendant loyal to the Otomo family, or a retainer who has ideas in their hearts, they can't make up their minds, and it is more accurate that they want to listen to the thoughts of the three elders of Otomo before making a decision.

At this time, the conference room was quiet, and after coming to Funai Castle, the people present came to a very bad conclusion after connecting with each other, and sat upright, looking at Yoshioka Nagamassu and Yoshihiro Kanri.

Finally, Yoshioka Nagazen spoke.

Yoshioka Nagazen said: "Now the situation of the Otomo family is very bad, the family governor is unconscious and unable to govern, the Date army landed in Kunisaki-gun and Kaibe County, and the Bunzen country is no longer an obstacle, and as time goes by, more and more Date troops land in Kyushu. ”

Yoshioka Nagamasa's tone was slow, low, and he felt a deep sense of exhaustion.

The conference room was in an uproar, no one thought that the situation would be so unbearable, Otomo Yoshijin was unconscious, and he originally thought it was a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true, and some people showed doubtful expressions. However, they were soon shocked by the bigger and more serious news, and most of them did not think that Date Army would be able to land from Bunzen Province, and after thinking about it, it was true, you must know that Honshu Island and Bunzen Province are only separated by a very narrow strait.

Shiga asked, "What are your predictions for the Otomo family?" "Shiga pro-sho for Otomo Yoshizhen to seize the position of the governor of the family made a great effort, after Otomo Yoshizhen married his daughter to his son as a wife, more than ten years ago the governor of the family to the son of the family after the seclusion, and then as Otomo Yoshizhen side performance active, lived to the nineties before dying, is the Warring States period of the few old birthday stars.

Yoshioka Nagazen was just about to answer, but Takita Zhenshu suddenly broke in, and was about to get angry, when he heard "The Imperial Minister, Date Masahiro, is here." ”
