"This day will not be sunny for a moment. It just gave me a rest." Before that, the raindrops finally became sparse, and Matsuhira Motoyaki left Ajibi Castle. Yu Yamato Sado-samaru sent him outside the city gate together.

No one knows whether we can meet again in the troubled times. Matsuhira Motokara rode his horse straight to the post road. He turned around on the horse's back and waved hard: "There will be a time later..."

At around the hour of You, the rain finally stopped. But the dark clouds had not yet dissipated, and the world was dark. Yu Da returned to his room and told the children about many past events about Matsuhei Motoyao. When he talked about the childhood Motoyao and Nagafukumao, he looked at Nagafukumao very much. Saburo Taro and Genzaburo both came over and looked at Nagafukumao carefully.

As soon as the hour of Xu, Sado Kumatsu suddenly rushed in with a pale face. "Madam, please don't be shocked!" He even forgot that the children were still here and rushed out, "Imakawa Yoshimoto was killed by Oda Nobunaga!"

"What?" Yu Daiyi couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. "Imakawa Yoshimoto..." she asked suspiciously. "Really?"

"This matter is certain. I heard that Oda Nobunaga had already taken the head of Imakawa Yoshimoto and retreated to Kiyosu Castle by horse... This was what the informant had seen with his own eyes. There would be no falsehood."

"It's incredible! Where did the final battle start?"

"From Tianlewa to Tongsanjian, it has become a sea of ​​blood, and all the five thousand troops of Yiyuan were killed."

"So...what is that big Gaocheng?"

"I am worried about this. The lord took Imakawa Yoshimoto's head back to Kiyosu Castle. But according to his temper, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to smooth things over tonight or tomorrow morning..."

Kusuke suddenly stopped, and he suddenly thought that Matsuhei Motokaku, who was guarding the Otaka Castle, had just left here. Yu Da couldn't help but burst into tears. This victory was a great news for the Oda family, but it might put Matsuhei Motokaku to death. If the Oda family's army was approaching, even ghosts and gods could not defend the strange small town.

"Sir!" Yu Da's eyes were filled with tears, his voice was miserable, which made people feel like a knife. "Sir! I have been waiting for sixteen years before I see my child. Please don't blame me."

"How could I blame you? When we know nothing, the outcome is decided. I also feel like I am in a dream and don't know what to do."

"Sir! I have an idea, please forgive me for taking the liberty."

"It's okay, please tell me. He is your son, and even if he plans for the Jiusong family, he doesn't want him..."

"Since this is the case, please ask Takenoide to return to Qingzhou City for a long time."

"Takeonuchi Kurou...what do you mean?"

"Just say that Matsuhei Motoyaki of Dagaocheng will never disobey Lord Qingzhou after his mother's repeated advice."

"Oh!" Kumatsu Sado Moritsukatsu slapped his thighs suddenly, "Let Lord Oda not attack Otaka Castle."

"Yes. Let Yuankang abandon the city and leave here. There is no other way."

Sado Mitsumatsu nodded and immediately turned around and ran outward.

Yu Dazhong closed his eyes again and tried to adjust his disordered breathing. Everything was fate! She had never been so panicked as she was now. She never dreamed that Imakawa Yoshimoto, who ruled Suruga, Toge and Sankawa areas, seemed to be destined to enjoy wealth and prosperity forever, now his body and head are different, blending into the soil...

Imakawa Yoshimoto asked his close ministers to call him the Lord of the Junfu, but did not like to be called the master... His pride and luxury have become a dream of Nan Ke. For women, there is no more sad and more cursed than war.

The chaotic times completely destroyed the stable situation of Suruga, Tori and Mikawa countries, throwing them into the even more tragic waves. Who will gain power in the future and what will be their fortune? Of course, Yu Da could not predict it, but she must try her best to ensure that there is no mistake in handling things. At least she must keep her bloodline safely in the world.

"Mother, what happened?" Genzaburo asked curiously when he saw his parents' unusual expressions and actions.

Yu Dajing for a moment, turned his head and said, "Call Hirano Kusato." She could no longer rely entirely on her husband Sado Motsukashi. She wanted to use her talents to save her family and children, so as not to be overwhelmed by this rage.

Nagafukumaru's wet nurse called Hirano Kusato. The news of Imakawa Yoshimoto's killing had spread throughout Ajibi Castle, and people's eyes changed. Hirano Kusato was already an old minister and used to visit Motoyaki with Takenonai Kusato. He leaned over at the entrance and saluted: "Madam, something big happened."

"You go to Kariya right away." Yu Dadao, "Tell Lord Shinoya not to attack Otao Castle. Instead of letting uncles and nephews kill each other, it is better to let Monkaka retreat from Otao Castle early... If Monkaka can retreat to Okazaki Castle, it is best. Please! You must tell Lord Shinoya not to bleed unnecessary." At this time, Yu Da had completely abandoned his gentle temperament, like a female hero in troubled times, and her tone was indisputable.

Since Matsuhira Motoyashi went to Ajibi Castle, the Okazaki people have been waiting anxiously until he returns to Ogao Castle safely.

The old ministers had objections to the fact that Imakawa Yoshimoto ordered Motoyashi to replace Ueden Nagato to defend Daigao Castle. Because this lonely city that penetrated deep into the Oda territory would become a city of death at any time as the war progressed. Imakawa Yoshimoto was as clear as this, but he asked the Okazaki people to rest here and ordered: "If Oda's main force comes to attack Daigao Castle, then abandon the city and break through, and do not fight hard. This move is the key to our victory or defeat. Do not be careless."

If the Oda main force is attacked and abandoned the city, the Okazaki people will completely lose their place to rely on. This is the trick Imakawa Yoshimoto used to deal with the evil plan. At that time, Matsuhei Motoyashi's abandonment of the city and fled to Ajibi Castle, which may be the only way out. Shinroro Uemura once seriously reminded from the side: "It's outrageous! What if the enemy attacks while the lord is not here?"

Matsuhira Motoyasu smiled and comforted: "When both sides of the enemy and us have an accident, it is a good opportunity to fight. Don't worry, as long as the main force of the Imakawa family does not have an accident, Oda Nobunaga will not attack Otaka Castle. I have other plans."

What are the plans? Where should the Okazaki people flee in case of an accident... Matsuhira Motoyashi seemed to be in contact with relatives such as Kumatsu Sado Motoyashi and Mizuno Shino Motoyashi and other relatives. The Okazaki people sent Matsuhira Motoyashi away with a nervous mood. Soon it started to rain heavily, but he never came back. When Matsuhira Motoyashi and his party finally returned to Okagao Castle safely in the evening, a stone in the hearts of the old ministers fell to the ground. Next was waiting for the arrival of Imakawa Yoshimoto.

"Preserve the city gate, light a torch, and make meals immediately." After Matsuhei Motoyashi returned to the inner court, Sakai Masasuke and Okubo Shinhachiro personally inspected the whole city, strengthened their guards, and ordered fires to make meals everywhere.

At this moment, news of Imakawa Yoshimoto's killing came. The first thing I heard was Amano Saburo Buye Katsue who was guarding outside the city. However, Katsue thought the matter was too unbelievable, so she reported to Ishikawa Kiyoko. Ishikawa Kiyoko immediately ordered the source of the news, but did not report to Motokoko immediately.

At the twilight, a samurai came straight to the city gate. Okubo, who was responsible for defending the main gate, shouted loudly: "Who?"

The samurai jumped off the horse and wiped the sweat from his face while answering, "I am Asai Ryunosuke Daotaki, the retainer of Mizuno Shinono, and I have to report to Master Motokashi in person if there is any major matter. Please let me in."

"Stop it! Mizuno Shino Mori is our enemy, how could I let you come in in a noble place?"

"Although my city lord is an enemy of you, he is a relative of Lord Yuankang after all. I have a secret mission. If you are not at ease, you can come down to check it out. If there is any suspicious thing, it will not be too late to kill me again."

Hearing the other party's stern words, Tadatsutsu Okubo couldn't help laughing, "Okay. I'll go and report it now. You wait." Under the guidance of Tadatsutsu Okubo, Rokunosuke Dotatsu Asai came to the hall.

Matsuhira Motoyashi had taken off his armor in the hall and had just finished drinking the soup. He was sitting cross-legged. On both sides were fully armed Torii Hitomi Yuemon Mototaki, Ishikawa and Shiroshimasa.

"Who!" Everyone shouted in unison when they heard the footsteps. The light in the room was very dim, and only a wax stick was lit. If they were not close to the front, they would not be able to see the other person's face clearly. Torii Hiroshi Yuemon Mototaki first drew out his sword.

"Hyuuemon, it's me, it's me." Okubo's old man greeted him and walked straight to Matsuhira Motoyaku.

"Is it a senior? Who is the visitor?"

"I am Asai Ryunosuke Daotaki, the messenger of Mizuno Shinobu."

Asai Ryunosuke Dotataki answered while sitting down from a distance. "I have something important to do, please wait and see the left and right." He raised his chest and stared at Matsuhira Motoyaku. The candlelight swayed in his clear eyes.

"No!" Old Man Okubo scolded, "Everyone here is in harmony with my lord Matsuhei Motoyaku. You can report it with confidence."

Asai Ryunosuke Dotachi smiled slightly, "Okay, then I'll tell the truth. Before today, Imakawa's ministry, Yoshimoto Yoshimoto, was cut off his head by Oda Konoha Nobunaga in Tarawa, and the five thousand main forces were wiped out. The other ministry was defeated because they had no heads in the group."

Rokunosuke paused for a moment, and he wanted to observe Matsuhira Motokaku's reaction. Matsuhira Motokaku's face showed a look of surprise, but he asked in an extremely calm voice: "That's all you want to report?"

Rokunosuke nodded. "For the sake of the friendship between relatives, the lord ordered me to come and report. If you continue to stay in Dagao City, you will be as dangerous as you will be. I hope that the lord will lead the entire army to retreat tonight... This is not just the opinion of my lord."

"Or who's the opinion?"

"This...is also the opinion of Mrs. Ajibi Castle."

A hint of excitement appeared on Matsuhira Motoyashi's face, but it was fleeting. He quietly looked back at Toriihiko Yuemon Mototaki, "Mizuno Shinoshiro is our enemy. This person is from unknown origin. He tries to confuse us with nonsense and take him down!"

"yes!"

"Bind it up and send it to Kiyoshi Ishikawa immediately, so that he can take good care of it and don't let this person escape."

"Yes. Hand over the knife." Toriihiko Yuemon Mototaki stood up suddenly and shouted loudly. Asai Ryunosuke Dotaki smiled slightly and obediently handed over the knife, "Then, there will be a time left in the future. When you retreat, you are willing to lead the way. Say goodbye!"

After the Asai Ryunosuke Daotaki was taken down, everyone in the seat fell silent. At noon, he was having lunch in the Chuansanite and was preparing to enter Otaka Castle tonight. He disappeared from this world? Although the words of Asai Ryunosuke were not trustworthy, Matsuhira Motoyaki did not doubt it. Not only Matsuhira Motoyaki, but also mocked Asai Ryunosuke's lying, it seemed that he believed the information of the Mizuno family secret envoy. "I deserve the sin, hum! The old fox in the Jun Mansion praised us on the surface, but secretly wanted to kill us. If God does not punish him, it would be unfair!"

"Have our horse probing team not back yet?" Because Imakawa Yoshimoto's army had not been delayed before, the original plan of march would definitely be sent to the horse probing team.

"I haven't come back yet, but it's almost done."

"Immediately confirm the authenticity of the news, and then let the important officials gather here."

"I understand." Before the old man Okubo finished his words, he immediately turned around and went out.

"As he said it is true, things will be serious." Ishikawa and Shirou said.

"Shh--" Torii Hiroemon stopped quickly. Everyone noticed that Motoyashi Matsuhei closed his eyes tightly at this time, even his lips tightly closed. Thirteen years of hostage life finally ended, and he ushered in the long-lost freedom. However, this space of freedom is the lonely city Dataka surrounded by the enemy...

It is difficult to guess Oda Nobunaga's mind. Once the Okazaki people retreat, not to mention Mizuno Shinobu Kotoshi, even the ronin and the rioters will take advantage of the situation to attack each other. Okazaki Castle was occupied by the army sent by Imakawa Yoshimoto and could not be withdrawn. This lonely city lacks food and grass. If it is forced to fight for the city defense, the troops of Kariya and Ajibi Castle in the future will undoubtedly be the army of relatives. In short, Okazaki Castle is a desperate situation where there is no way to advance or retreat. Now Matsuhei Motoyaki and Okazaki people are trapped in this desperate situation.

"If you have enough strength, you can survive." The severe fate once again tested Matsuhira Motoyaku. He suddenly laughed, and his mind appeared in his mind that Sena Hime and the children who were waiting for him to triumph in Jun Mansion. "Sena Hime... I'm finally going to become a ignorant..." Matsuhira Motoyaku suddenly stood up and walked down the corridor silently.

This matter was not completely unexpected. As long as Imakawa Yoshimoto is not dead, the current balance of power cannot be broken, so Matsuhira Motoyashi can only continue to be a hostage to the Jun Mansion. It can even be said that Matsuhira Motoyashi has been waiting for Imakawa Yoshimoto's death.

Matsuhira Motoyaki looked up at the sky inadvertently, the dark clouds dissipated, the stars flashed, and a meteor suddenly fell to the southern sea. Such a vast world, there was no place where Okazaki people stood up - he truly felt the cruelty of fate, but he was not desperate. The situation was so dangerous, but he wanted to laugh.

Looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, Matsuhira Motoyashi kept reflecting on what he should abandon. The first thing he should abandon is this lonely city. As for his wife and children, he has abandoned it. He has seen his mother whom he missed day and night, so he can be regarded as parting. His persistence in Okazaki Castle should be abandoned, and the "luck" that supports his struggle in the dark - the vague phantom, should be completely abandoned now. No, just throwing away these things, you can't move freely. What else should you abandon?

The face of Zen Master Xuezhai suddenly appeared in front of Matsuhira Sonoka. He smiled. The last thing he should abandon was myself. Only when he had no self at all, the infinite quiet "nothing" could be revealed - the "nothing" left to Yuankang by Elder Xuezhai was finally back in Matsuhira Sonoka's heart after many years.

"Yuankang was originally a dead person..."

Just as he was talking to himself, Kiyoko Ishikawa ran to the hall while calling "Lord". "It's true." He shouted loudly. Kiyoko's wife is just like Yu Da. They are both the daughters of Tadomaki Mizuno. This time, Kiyoko's son Hikoro, who is the guard of the general, is Tadomaki's grandson.

"The secret envoy went to Hikagoro's place. It was reported that people saw Oda Nobunaga sitting on the horse's back and carrying Imakawa Yoshimoto's head, and began to return to Kiyosu Castle with great enthusiasm." Matsuhei Motoyashi did not answer and slowly walked back from the end of the corridor.

The important officials gathered in the hall one after another. The number of candles increased. Everyone was extremely excited and serious, and they stood on both sides. Sakai Saemon Tadaji was at the end. Matsuhei Motoyashi still said nothing, and after a long time, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Have everyone arrived?"

"yes."

"I believe everyone has heard of it, but the rumors cannot be believed. If you escape because of fear of rumors, you will always become a laughing stock for the world. Next, you will either attack Kiyoshi City or fight with the city." Everyone in the castle was speechless. Attack Kiyoshi City at night! Kiyoshi City, which is now immersed in a festive atmosphere, may have flaws. But is it necessary to attack Kiyoshi City for Yoshimoto, who has been ravaging the Okazaki people in all kinds of ways? Everyone had this doubt in their hearts. Matsuhira Motoyashi knew it well, and he finally said his heart.

"Or," Motokaku smiled, "Go back to our Okazaki Castle and wait there to see what happened." Matsuhei Motokaku had already put life and death aside. He thought about his retainers and finally made up his mind.

"Okay!" the warriors roared like thunder, and the scene suddenly boiled...

Similarly, before the storm in Tianlewa, in a village near Minghai City, Ogata, Luo family Noburomasa and several Luo family retainers were discussing in a wooden house.

"What's wrong with Maeda and Saemon's family?" Nobura Luo asked, looking at Takahashi Shaoyun who had just entered the house.

"The injury is fine, but it needs to be recuperated for a while. Maeda Matsu and Shimazuki, who also suffered minor injuries, have already taken care of him."

"That's great!" Luo's Nobura nodded immediately after hearing this. This time, he assisted Maeda Yuemon Rikan as a ronin team that helped the Oda family resist the Imakawa family's army, and fought a little with the Okabe Nobura army of the Imakawa family. Although he was defeated, it also made Luo's Nobura realize the strongest combat power of the Imakawa family, and also fulfilled his promise to Maeda Yuemon Rikan. Next, Maeda Yuemon Rikan needed to fulfill his promise to Luo's Nobura.

"Report." At this moment, an intelligence cabinet staff quickly walked into the wooden house. "The latest information, under the guidance of Honya Kizao Shigetaki and others, Oda Nobunaga successfully attacked Imakawa Yoshimoto in Tarawa. Imakawa Yoshimoto had been conquered, and the Imakawa army was defeated."

"..." As the intelligence officer finished speaking, there was a silence in the wooden house. Then, Shaoyun Takahashi stood up in excitement and shock, and shouted directly: "Okay! The lord is indeed as expected!"

The rest of the wooden house immediately agreed.

"Okay!" Luo's Nobura was also very happy at this time. He did not expect that his father Luo's Masaru had guessed the previous prediction of this battle with a huge difference in combat power. However, he calmed down instantly. With a wave of his hand, he signaled everyone to calm down, and immediately arranged to say: "Next, we will immediately notify the military advisor and Imakawa Zangree's side. Our plan should be started."

"Oh!" The room immediately looked like a whimper...
