The Ninomaru Ninomaru of Tamaya Castle was the original gathering place for the Hondaya family's retainers. Several rows of wooden longhouses were built here, and the captured Kaizuden mother and son were guarded here.
A few days passed, and Haijindian gradually adapted to this change in status.
Although there was really no relationship at all with Tanaya Akimasa, after all, they had been together day and night for so many years, and Kaizuden was still a little sad when his husband died.
Of course, this sadness did not last long, because Haijindian's whole heart was concerned about his son.
"Madam, these are clean clothes sent by Mr. Jingdou, and there are also some seasonal fruits." A maid carefully opened the door, placed a few clothes on the tatami, and then opened her hand. He took out a few fruits from the box.
The clothes are very familiar to Hai Jindian, they are his previous clothes. As for fruits, it’s not surprising that they can be found everywhere in the mountains of Tianwu Township.
"That Gao Zheng of Kyogoku is very careful, but what does he mean by keeping my mother and son under house arrest here without releasing or disposing of them? Even if I save my life, I really don't want to live in peace like this." Hai Jindian said angrily.
How could the maid know this? She bowed tremblingly and quickly left.
"Madam seems very angry. Could it be that I did something wrong?" As soon as the maid opened the door, Kyogoku Takamasa's voice came out, and then Kyogoku Takamasa walked in.
The maid quickly knelt down and bowed to Kyogoku Takamasa.
Kyogoku Takamasa waved his hand to signal the maid to leave, and then came to sit on the ground in front of Kaijin Hall. He took off the sword from his waist and placed it in front of him. "Madam, you should know that you are alive today because I was with Ishimi Mamoru that day." agreement."
"Ishimi Mamoru wrote a letter to persuade the old troops to surrender, and I gave your mother and son a way to live. Now I have kept my promise, and I have not been harsh on food and clothing. I don't know if my wife has any dissatisfaction." Kyogoku Takamasa said with his hands on his chest In front of him, he looked at Haijindian and said.
Kaizuden held Ushiwakamaru in his arms and rocked it gently. From time to time, he gently patted Ushiwakamaru's back with his hand, "Sakyo enters the hall to look at the loser's joke as a victor?"
"As a daughter of the samurai family, I, Hechichiyo, have long been aware of my own death and fell into your hands. Either you kill me or you let me go. What's the point of imprisoning my mother and son here?" Kaijinden glared angrily.
Kyogoku Takamasa didn't really come here to show his presence, so he quickly explained, "Madam, don't get me wrong, I won't kill you. As for letting you go, it's naturally impossible. After all, your father and my family are still at odds with each other." In the meantime, when the fighting subsides, maybe Madam can return to Haijin City."
"I will leave here early tomorrow morning and go to Changfa Temple, and my wife will accompany me. This time I came to inform my wife of this matter so that she can be prepared."
"The words have been conveyed, I will take my leave now." With that said, Kyogoku Gaomasa walked away.
Kai Jindian bit his lip and struggled for a moment, then stood up suddenly and summoned up the courage to continue asking, "I dare to ask Sakyo Jindian, if you want to leave a hostage for my father to surrender, just leave the concubine behind. Is it possible to leave the cow behind?" Send Wakamaru to Otani Castle."
"If I can let Ushiwakamaru go, I will follow the posture of Puliu, but I am also willing to serve you."
It seems that Kaijinden is still worried about himself. He is afraid that he will be disadvantageous to Ushiwakamaru, so he has volunteered himself.
Kyogoku Takamasa turned around and looked at Kaijinden with a smile, "I have to say that Madam is a smart person, but it is a pity. Please forgive me for rejecting this matter."
"Could it be that Lord Kyōgoku doesn't like me?" Kaijindian looked at Kyōgoku Takamasa with a resentful look.
Kyogoku Takamasa shook his head.
To be honest, Hai Jindian is indeed beautiful and pleasant. According to the 100-point system, he can score at least 85 points. The most important thing is that women like Hai Jindian are pure natural beauties, completely different from those Korean semi-permanent voluptuous bitches in later generations.
But am I, Kyogoku Takamasa, such a person?
joke
I like the widow the most, wait, what am I talking about?
Must be hallucinating
"Now I am Daozu and you are fish and meat. If you are really interested in my wife, you would already be having sex on my crotch right now."
"You have recently lost your husband. As a widow, I, Kyoto Takamasa, am a samurai and a very upright person. I will definitely not do such a despicable thing."
"There is no need to mention this matter again. Madam, you can live in peace for the time being, but if you need it, you can send your maid to find me. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, before Kaijinden could say anything, Kyogoku Gaozheng had already left. Go out and close the door.
Why didn't Kyogoku Takamasa let Kaijinden mother and son go?
Very simple, as Kaijinden said, the main reason is to make Asai Ryomasa surrender. Without guaranteeing the personal safety of Haijindian mother and son, the Asai family naturally did not dare to attack rashly.
Of course, this is also another kind of bargaining chip, which may come in handy when fighting each other with the Asai family in the future.
Anyway, it's not that he can't afford it, it's just two more mouths, and Kyogoku Takamasa doesn't need to pay anything.
At night.
Outside Tianwu City.
Deep in the forest.
A sneaky figure moved forward slowly under the moonlight. When it reached the foot of Xidaoshan Mountain where Tianwu Castle is located, the leader stopped.
After inviting everyone to come under a tree, Yamaoka Inuhachiro took out a fire certificate and a map from his arms, "This is the distribution map of Tianya Castle. The Honmaru is located on the top of the mountain. The person we want to save is in the Honmaru." Most likely."
"But Ninomaru has the most houses, so the other party may also place people in this retainer's house."
"The situation in the city is not clear yet. I wonder who would like to investigate the situation in the city first."
"I'll go, but I'll have to pay two extra bucks," a short man among the five said in a low voice.
"At best," Yamaoka Inuhachiro said with a heartbroken face. As a person who values wealth as much as his life, Yamaoka Inuhachiro is quite stingy the rest of the time, except when he feels great when gambling.
After saying "Deal", the short man took the map from Inuhachiro Yamaoka and quickly disappeared into the jungle.
Half an hour later.
The mountain behind Xidao Mountain.
Yamaoka Inuhachiro and his party of five quietly climbed to the top of the mountain and arrived at the back of Tianya Castle.
Tianya Castle was built facing the front mountain of Nishidaoshan. The Honmaru is located on the top of the mountain, and the Ninomaru is located on the mountainside. The Otemon of the castle is located below the Ninomaru. There are samurai from the Kyogoku family here who are on duty at night, and they are easily discovered.
So Yamaoka Inuhachiro and others chose to climb up from the back mountain.
"Inuhachiro, we have found out that the target is in the house of Ninomaru's retainer. Several samurai from the Kyogoku family live in Honmaru. If we want to go to Ninomaru, we have to bypass Honmaru. Although it is late at night, we still have to be careful. Wonderful." After climbing into the city from a short wall next to the Shoumen Gate, the ninja who was previously responsible for inquiring about the situation whispered.
Yamaoka Inuhachiro smiled contemptuously and said confidently, "There are still cities in this world that I, Inuhachiro, cannot enter."
"Even if I am in Guanyin Temple City, I will go in and out as I please. How can it be a mere farmhouse city?"
