There was still blood oozing out of Kasahara Kiyotsuna's abdomen, and the white cloth wrapped around his waist had been dyed red.
It was obviously after a bloody battle, but now Kasahara Kiyotsuna has returned alone, and there was another defeat before. How could Kaizuden, who was worried about the safety of Tagaya Akimasa, not be anxious! In recent years, Omi has been fighting for many years. It is normal for people to die in battles. I don’t know how many samurai died every day. What if Tianya Meimasa had an accident while fighting here?
"Madam, in the battle of Yijing City, my family was defeated, I am incompetent, and my lord was also captured!"
"The enemy is threatening my lord's life, saying that if the Tianya Castle defenders do not open the city and surrender, then they will execute my lord! This matter is extremely urgent, please make a decision soon, madam!" Kasahara Kiyotsuna gritted his teeth and knelt down at Kaizu-den. in front of you.
After listening to Kasahara Kiyosuna's words, Kaizuden suddenly seemed to have lost his strength and was about to fall down. Fortunately, the maid on the side quickly helped Kaizuden up with quick eyesight and hands.
"Masaburo, is the princess injured?"
"There are no injuries, but I am in danger in the enemy's camp. If my wife does not open the city, I am afraid that my lord will be in danger." Kasahara Kiyotsuna stared at Kaizuden with tearful eyes. His impromptu performance, which was comparable to that of the best actor, was really disappointing. One can't help but admire it.
Kaizuden was silent for a while, and then said, "Although this is the Taya Household Castle, it is also the territory of my Asai family! I, Chiyo Tsuru, am both the wife of Iwami Mamoru and the daughter of the Asai family!"
"Even if my husband dies, I will defend the city and fight to the death! Is there any reason to hand over the city to others?"
Kasahara Kiyotsuna is confused, that’s not how the script was written! Before coming here, he had patted his chest and promised Kyogoku Takamasa that he would sleep with Kaizu-don because of his sharp tongue. He didn't expect Kaizu-don to be so stubborn, which made Kasahara Kiyosuna a little panicked.
"Madam, there are only a hundred soldiers in the city, and there are thousands of enemy troops. Tianya Castle will fall sooner or later! Madam, even if she wants to die, she must always think about the newborn Ushiwakamaru-don!"
"Ushiwakamaru-don, he is just a child!"
Sure enough, Kasahara Kiyozuna's words touched upon Kaizuden's weakness.
It is true that Kaizuden is the wife of Tianya Akimasa and the daughter of Asai Ryomasa. In this era, there is no such thing as a married daughter throwing away water. In this era, women are another kind of help to the family.
Just like just now, Kaijinden's first reaction was not to surrender to Kaicheng to save her husband's life, but to fight to the death to preserve the Asai family's territory.
But similarly, Haijindian also has another identity, that is, mother.
When he thought of his son, who was just a few days old, Haijindian softened his heart.
Seeing this, Kasahara Kiyosuna on the side quickly continued to hit the railway while it was hot, "When I entered the city, the other party had promised to protect the lord's family. Madam, please don't act rashly!"
"Masaburo, have you already surrendered to the enemy? Why do you speak for the enemy?" Kaizuden stared at Kasahara Kiyozuna with his beautiful eyes.
Kasahara Kiyotsuna replied without hesitation, "What did you say, madam? I fought bloody battles today and suffered serious injuries on my abdomen. The blood is still wet! If madam still doubts me, wouldn't I be wronged?"
Looking at the blood stains on Kasahara Kiyosuna's body, Kaizuden was silent.
"Who is on duty in the city tonight!" Kaizuden turned his attention to the man standing next to Kasahara Kiyozuna.
He thought for a moment, and then replied, "It's Tianwuzhujitouden!"
"Eleventh Master, if you ask him to come here, just tell him that I have something important to discuss with him!"
"ha!"
The Shichiro mentioned by Kaizuden and the Head of Tagaya mentioned by Sidekick are the same person, namely Tagaya Masarai, the head of the Tagaya family.
"Madam, a large number of enemy troops suddenly gathered outside the city, and I'm about to come and tell you!" Tamaya Masarai said after coming in.
Haijindian nodded, "Masaburo has already told me about this, and there is even worse news! Matasaburo, tell me!"
"Ha!" Kasahara Kiyotsuna nodded, and then said, "In order to keep it secret, I didn't announce it in the city before. My lord was defeated and captured when attacking Ii Castle, and it was discovered that the enemy troops were already approaching the city!"
"The other party is now threatening the lord's life. If I can't wait for Kaicheng to surrender, the lord may be in danger of his life!"
"How could this happen?" Taya Masayori couldn't believe his ears when he heard what Kasahara Kiyosuna said.
Haijindian sighed, "I don't dare to make the decision on such a big matter, so I asked you, Shishiro, to discuss it!"
"Of course I have to protect my lord!" Tagaya Masanoi was a member of the Tagaya family. Naturally, the top priority was to save Tagaya Akimasa's life, so he immediately replied.
Kaizuden looked at Tagaya Masayori, then at Kasahara Kiyosuna, and finally made up his mind, "In that case, let's open the city!"
"Kyogoku-den, fortunately, I have lived up to my command. I have successfully slept with Kaizu-den. He has already ordered the opening of Tagaya Castle!" Outside Tagaya Castle, Kasahara Kiyosuna, who came out of the city, threw away the cloth wrapped around his waist. Come to life.
"Very good!" Kyogoku Takamasa nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Akao Kiyosuna beside him, "Misaku Mamoru, take a team of people to see the situation first. If the castle really gives up resistance, then report back!"
"ha!"
Not long after, Akao Kiyosuna came back with a happy face: "My lord, the troops in the city have been dispersed, the Tagaya family members are being guarded in the castle, and the Tagaya family retainers are also under control."
"Well then let's go to the city!"
It was a fluke that he was able to capture Tagaya Castle without any bloodshed. Fortunately, Kasahara Kiyosuna was surprisingly powerful, otherwise it would have taken a lot of effort to capture Tagaya Castle.
Entering the city, Kyogoku Takamasa went straight to Honmaru, and soon saw Kaijinden and others in the castle.
At this time, the Tagaya family members in Tagaya Castle, except Kaizuden and Ushiwakamaru, only had a few wives from the Tagaya family. The rest were all hostages in Otani Castle, such as Tagaya Akimasa's mother.
"Raise your head!" Walking up to Kaijinden who was holding a baby, Kyogoku Takamasa lifted Kaijinden's chin with his scabbard.
Not to be outdone, Kai Jindian looked at Kyōgoku Gaomasa without saying a word.
"We will open the city as promised. Are you going to break your promise?"
"Don't touch my wife!"
"Where is my master now?"
Seeing Kyogoku Takamasa's actions, a group of the controlled Tagaya family thought that Kyogoku Takamasa was "motivated" and wanted to do something to Kaizuden.
"Broken promise?"
"Did I say anything?" Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly turned his head and looked at Tagaya Masarai and others who were kneeling on the ground, "As for Tagaya Akimasa, he is dead!"
As soon as Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, Hatayama Asanobu, who was following Kyogoku Takamasa, opened the wooden box in his hand, and a cleaned head instantly fell to the ground.
"You bastards, you have done such a villainous thing!"
"I'm going to kill you! Ahhhh!"
The members of the Tianya family were furious after seeing the head of Tianya Meimasa, feeling that they had been deceived.
Kaijinden on the side was also stunned, his eyes instantly lost their expression, but his hand holding Ushiwakamaru tightened.
"Since you miss Tianya Akimasa so much, then I will send you to see him as soon as possible!"
"Naizou Suke and Mimasaku Mamoru, take down everyone from the Tagaya family and execute them on the spot!" Kyogoku Takamasa said loudly with a cold face.
"Lord, is that all?" After hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's words, Hatayama Chaobu pointed at the members of the Tagaya family, and then pointed at Kaizuden and Ushiwakamaru.
Kyogoku Takamasa said without blinking, "Of course! Could it be that there will be further trouble?"
