On January 30, the 12th year of Astronomy (1543), evening.

The day after day, the hustle and bustle finally hid as dusk came, and the hustle and bustle gradually dissipated. At this time, the lights were brightly lit in the meeting hall of Puchi City, and the remaining officials of the Puchi family gathered together.

"Master, Yoshitsuka sent another letter of help today, hoping that my family would send reinforcements to Yoshitsuka as soon as possible." Heruki Harano said respectfully.

"Master, we should send troops to support Shengjinguan immediately. Otherwise, once Shengjinguan is lost, Puchi City will be directly under the opponent's troops. Should we abandon our ancestral property and retreat to Liuchuan City in the city?" After hearing this, the retainers below immediately started to shout without waiting for Puchi Jiansheng to speak.

Looking at these passionate retainers, Pu Chi Jiansheng couldn't help but frown. Anger arose in his heart. Then he soon sighed dejectedly. This is the impact of the temporary inheritance of the governor of the family.

Since Pu Chi Jiansheng's father died in battle last year, he hastily inherited the position of family governor. He originally planned to slowly establish prestige at home and then tame these retainers, but he did not expect that he would encounter such a thing at this time.

Just as Pu Chi Jiansheng frowned, he saw a thirteen- and fourteen-year-old boy attending the end of his retainers. So he immediately asked:

"Zhangmamaru, how did the task I gave you today be completed?"

The retainers did not expect that the head of the family would have the intention to ask other things at this time, so they immediately looked in the direction the head of the family was concerned. When everyone saw this young man, they all thought thoughtfully.

Under the gaze of everyone, the bald boy respectfully performed a tribute to his servants. Then he said respectfully: "Sir, as you are instructed, the subordinates have taken the people to the front to investigate. Those who have just returned are preparing to report to the master."

"Oh? Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Pu Chi Jiansheng asked immediately.

"Sir, the other party stationed a large army in Changyan City. After observing outside the city for an afternoon, I found that many soldiers were entering and leaving the city. And..."

"And what?" Pu Chi Jiansheng continued to ask.

"And the villages near Changyan City have been burned down. My subordinates saw a large number of leaders driven by the other party towards Haijin City in Chihouchuan." The young man said calmly.

"Master, what are you waiting for? Do you still have to watch our leaders be captured by the other party?" Many retainers' territory is just a village. Now they hear that even the invaders have snatched away the villagers, which really makes them nervous.

"Everyone, come from the information mentioned by Masama Masamu. The other party is prepared this time. If we act rashly, we may encounter the other party's conspiracy and tricks. Don't forget that the other party's direction is famous for its many tricks." At this time, Harano Yokogami said to stop everyone's commotion.

"Let's retreat, I will issue an order as soon as possible. Huiguo stay." Although I don't know why this important minister in his father's era helped me, Pu Chi Jiansheng still took the opportunity to let the retainers retreat.

After the retainers retreated one after another, Pu Chi Jiansheng looked at the Yuanno Huiguo sitting below and said, "Huiguo, you have been following my father for more than 30 years."

"Yes. Lord." Harano Meiguo did not expect that the first sentence the young head of the family would leave him and say was like this. In fact, he suddenly asked for help from Pu Chi Jiansheng because he saw from the arrangements of the head of the family today.

Yes, Pu Chi Jiansheng would rather choose an outsider who had arrived at home to perform such an important task than tell them that these retainers in the family were obviously not trusting them. Yuanye Huiguo saw the instability of the family. As an old minister who loyally served Pu Chi family, this was absolutely not allowed to happen, so he took the initiative to help the head of the family block the retainers below.

As for Pu Chi Jiansheng holding it, it was another idea. This time the arrangement was indeed made by him secretly. He knew that no matter which retainer he sent to investigate, the information that he would send troops in the end would definitely be the information that asked him to send troops. So in desperation, he had to choose the young man who fled to his home.

Of course, under the current situation, as the head of the family, he must unite the family's strength as soon as possible, so tonight he decided to first express goodwill to his old minister, Harano Heiko.

"Huiguo, I want to recruit Huijun as a close friend. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Ekiko Hara was obviously stunned, and immediately thanked Kuchi Jiansheng happily. Huijun Hara was his son, and now his son has finally become a close member of the head of the family. This has officially embarked on the road to becoming an important official of the Puchi family, so it is impossible for Huiko Hara to be unhappy.

So, in such an atmosphere, the two of them friendlyly exchanged views on the situation at home.

Just as the two ministers of the Puchi family were discussing secretly at home, the young man who had reported information to everyone in the hall came to the gate of Puchi City, and then rode a pony and rode a horse to face the sunset dusk toward the river outside the city.

This pony was given to him by the young man who defected to Puchi's house and was personally given to him by the head of the Puchi family.

The ponies came to the river with cheerful steps, and then the young man immediately jumped off the horse very skillfully and jumped directly to a rock by the river.

Looking at the endless stream of Zhuhouchuan River under his feet, the boy suddenly shouted a few times, and then looked at the other side of the river steadily.

"The direction opposite should be where my hometown is? Now the enemy has been driven out of Feiqian, but it's a pity that I didn't kill the enemy with my own hands!" the young man said to himself.

"Hmph, Masama Maru? It's ridiculous. Almost everyone knows that I have held the coming-of-age ceremony in advance and named it Ryuzoji Takanobu, but why do everyone continue to call me my nickname? Do you not recognize my ability? Do you still regard me as a child? Hum! From today on, I only believe in myself, and I will rely on myself to regain my ancestors' territory."

What was shouting by the river was the Yuanyuefang, who escaped from Feiqian. Not long ago, he lived carefreely in the temple under the name of "Yuanyuefang". But on a dark night, he was disturbed by several warriors covered in blood.

These samurai claimed to be relatives of the Ryuzaoji family. After being besieged at home, they were ordered by the head of the family and fought a bloody path and finally came to the front of Yuanyuefang.

So, that night, Yuanyuefang followed several samurai to the Puchi family in Chuhou. A few days later, he received news that his entire family was destroyed by the Shaoer family. With the support of several relatives of several family warriors, Yuanyuefang held a coming-of-age ceremony in advance, inherited the head of the Ryuzaoji family, and then changed its name to Ryuzaoji Yinxin. Later, in order to express his determination to revive the Ryuzaoji clan, he changed his name to Ryuzaoji Takashi.

"Master of the family!Master of the family!" Just as Ryuzoji Takanobu was indignant, a relative samurai shouted behind him.

"What's the matter?" Ryuzoji Takanobu jumped back to the shore and quickly met the samurai who was rushing toward him. Generally, only when there is an urgent matter, these family warriors will appear in front of Takanobu.

"Master, the family's enemy..."

"What? What did you say?" Before the warrior finished speaking, Takashino became excited when he heard the word "enemy".

"Ahem... Please calm down!" Seeing that the head of the family was so excited, the warrior immediately comforted him.

Takashiki took a few breaths, then said in a low voice: "You keep talking."

"Master of the family, Shao Er Dongshang has fled to Zhinhou. Now he is in the fortress of the family...Master of the family?" In the samurai's shocked expression, Takashi directly jumped onto the pony and ran towards Puchi City.

At this moment, in Puchi City, the fat but still a little embarrassed, Shao Er Dongshang was eating and drinking without any symptoms. Puchi Jiansheng was urging and drinking. While urging him to drink, he looked at the yard outside through the gap of the wooden door from the corner of his eyes. He saw that several retainers had come to the yard outside one after another.

"As it turns out, it's good. Let you listen to it too so that you can give up." Pu Chi Jiansheng said in his heart. He also knew that the news of Shao Er Dongshang's escape to his home was not kept secret, so he simply asked all the retainers to inform them to come and listen to Shao Er Dongshang's description with his own ears. In this way, both of him and his retainers will also have a clear understanding of the current situation in the past and future of the capital.

Yes, since the Otomo family coalition and the Oui family coalition launched a duel in Feiqian a dozen days ago, Puchi Jiansheng has been paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Just twelve days ago, after I heard that the situation in one of my camps was getting better, I suddenly received news of the defeated army of our family who had retreated from the battlefield, saying that Haijin City was sneak attacked.

Pu Chi Jiansheng, who had not believed it, finally confirmed the loss of Haijin City on the second day, and the Otomo family coalition unit located behind Haijin City was also broken. Then, in the evening of that day, he received an urgent report from the division of his family, and Changyan City was actually lost. The division was forced to retreat to the city at the foot of the mountain and could not retreat, and even sent an envoy to the Zong family for help.

In an instant, Haijin City and Changyan City, which connected the two hubs in the southeast and northwest of Jihou, were both lost. This made Puchi Jiansheng lose the information of the Otomo family coalition forces that still occupy the northwest of Jihou. Not only that, he sent several reconnaissance actors to Feiqian and Jihou in succession, but did not return any of them.

Since then, Pu Chi Jiansheng completely lost all the information from the outside world. For this reason, he had to send a messenger to follow the Feihou Kingdom in the rear of the Chuhou Kingdom and then detour into the Fengqian Kingdom of Otomo's family to find out the information. However, this trip will take more than a month to get the news.

But at this moment, the Luo family, which occupied Haijin City and Changyan City with thunder, sent troops again, and the front of the troops pointed directly at the Shengjin Pavilion, the border of Puchi family. So, there was a scene of a retainer's invitation to fight this afternoon.

However, without sufficient information, Pu Chi Jiansheng was indeed unwilling to take risks casually. Especially when he knew that his opponent was the "Fat-for-Fat Eagle", he was even more afraid to act rashly. Others may not know how powerful this person is, but he has been paying attention to this person. Pu Chi Jiansheng has an instinctive sense of crisis.
