Chapter 652 The end of the Saito family

Oda Nobunaga seemed strong in Sumata City, but in fact he was in a panic, waiting with bated breath for Isshiki Yoshiryu's army to arrive.

Hineno Hiroshi seemed to be high-spirited, but in fact he was terrified.She retreated overnight with the unconscious Isshiki Yoshiryu, and ran back to Inaba Mountain City with no flags and drums.

On the Nobi Plains, the battle between Oda Saito and two generations has finally come to an end.

Oda Nobunaga sailed against the current all his life, and my fate is up to me.In the end, the opportunity to achieve the great cause was actually the destiny.

Laugh also, sigh also, life also.

---

Inabayama Castle, Isshiki Yoshitaka's inner room.

She woke up slowly amidst the sound of crying, and saw that the little girl who was crying beside the quilt was her legitimate daughter.

Since returning to Inabayama Castle, Hineno Hiroshi has been with her pro-daughter day and night, lest she miss important matters.

Yoshiro Isshiki groaned, which caught Hineno Hiroshi's attention.She came forward and cried happily.

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

Isshiki Yilong felt that his strength was continuously emerging from his body, but it was rootless water, endless and never regenerated, and he realized a little bit in his heart.

There is not much time left for her.

she asked.

"What's the situation outside now?"

Hineno Hiroshi wiped his tears and said in a low voice.

"Since you fell into a coma, I withdrew and returned to Inabayama Castle to serve with the little princess.

The news inside and outside the city has been blocked, but I'm afraid I can't hide the fact that you are seriously ill. "

Isshiki Yoshiryu nodded, the infiltration of Mino's various families was serious, and Inabayama Castle had already become a sieve.

Hineno Hiroshi is the leader of the East Mino samurai family, and what she fears most is that the West Mino samurai family will get the news and take the opportunity to make trouble.

Yishi Yilong shook his head and asked again.

"Where is the military situation? Where is Oda Nobunaga?"

Hineno Hiroshi said regretfully.

"Three days after our army retreated, the logistics line of the Oda Army south of the Kisogawa River was opened up.

Oda Nobunaga took this opportunity to stabilize Sumata Castle, and the opportunity to drive her across the river was missed this time. "

Hineno Hiroshi hesitated to speak, Isshiki Yoshiryu said with a wry smile.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. It's this time, and there is any bad news that you can't say."

Hineno Hiroshi sighed.

"Over East Mino, Shibata Katsuie and Maeda Toshiie teamed up to take Kaneyama Castle."

Isshiki Yilong's complexion changed drastically.

Kaneyama Castle is an important town in East Mino. I didn't expect that if I defeated Oda Nobunaga in the middle of Mino, something big would happen to East Mino.

Without this city, most of the connection between Inabayama Castle and Higashi Mino was cut off, and the local samurai were at a loss, which can be imagined.If anyone is persuaded, surrender to the Oda family. .

Not daring to think about it anymore, Yishi Yilong looked up to the sky and sighed.

"The Oda and Saito families have been fighting for decades to dominate the Nobi Plains, and now it's time for the dust to settle."

Hineno Hiroshi was keenly aware that the word Saito used by the lord made him feel bad.

Yishi Yilong looked at his own daughter beside him, stroked her hair, and shouted to the left and right.

"Changing clothes for me, I want to dress her in advance."

The little girl blinked her big black eyes, not understanding what her mother meant.

Hineno Hiroshi lost his voice.

"Your Highness, you..."

Yishi Yilong turned his head and smiled at her, with a sad smile.

"I, Yoshiryu Saito, killed my mother and ascended to the throne. Heaven will not allow it. Now the sky wants to accept me, so what can I do.

Hineno-sama, thank you for everything you have done for the Saito family. No matter what choice you make in the future, I don't blame you.

Will you please give me a little time alone now?Let me arrange the funeral and leave a trace of blood for the Saito family.

Yoshiryu Saito, thank you very much. "

After finishing speaking, Saito Yoshilong bowed to Hineno Hiroshi.Hineno Hiroshi received the salute from the lord, returned the salute silently, and walked out.

Yoshiryu Saito has already made it very clear that Mino Isshiki's house is over.She changed back to Saito Miao to leave a glimmer of life for future generations.

Yishi Miao character is the lintel of the four positions in the shogunate. The descendants of Yilong, who are declining, are not worthy of this Miao character, and will only lead to death.

Letting the prostitute change back to Saito Nao's character is to admit the crime of killing her mother, so that the child can have a little face of hereditary Mino guarding Dai Saito's family.

Keep it alive!
What Saito Yoshiryu said to Hineno Hiroshi was actually acquiescing in her surrender to Oda Nobunaga after her death.

After all, the East Meinong Wu family also wanted to find a way out.The two sides got together and parted ways, leaving a little incense for the sake of Saito's descendants.

After Hineno Hiroshi left, Yoshiryu Saito made Yuanfu for his daughter in advance.After the ceremony was over, she was out of breath, and felt that all the strength in her body had been sucked out.

She braced herself and said to the prostitute.

"From today onwards, you are Saito Ryuko. Go to Japan, leave Mino, leave Oda Nobunaga far away, and never come back!

have you understood? "

With a ferocious face, she held Saito Longxing's shoulders with both hands.Seeing that the little girl was frightened, she kept nodding her head.

Seeing that his daughter was obedient, Saito Yoshiryu rarely let go of Yan's mother's solemnity on his face, leaving only a look of licking the calf.

"You must live well, Long Xing, and live through this troubled world."

After Saito Yoshilong finished speaking, the tears in his eyes could not be hidden.

In troubled times, people are like worthless people, and Saito's family is in decline, but there is still more to come in Mino.The most feared thing is that the Oda family will rise up and wipe out the roots.

She bowed deeply to the Ji warrior beside her.

"Lisan, I entrust Longxing to you. Hurry up and get out of the city, and go to Akechi Mitsuhide who recently went to Shiba's house.

She is a descendant of a branch of Mino's guardian Toki family. Back then, the wise family had evil intentions, and I slaughtered her family.

Akechi Mitsuhide was outstanding in intelligence, and he was arguing with me at that time.When it comes to the ebb and flow of the tide, one should stay on the front line so that we can meet each other in the future.

I saw that this person was interesting, so I left her a way out, but who would have thought it would really come in handy today.

You can ask her, if I kept her in the front line back then, can she protect my Saito lineage today, so that I don't want to die. "

It was her niece, Saito Toshizo, who Fuchi listened to Saito Yoshilong.

Although Yoshiryu Saito killed his mother, he was still kind to his clansmen, and Toshizo Saito was a close confidant who stayed by his side.

Now that the Saito family is about to be destroyed, Saito Yoshitaka can't trust any samurai in Mino.It is extremely ironic that she can only entrust her relatives to go to recent days to seek the protection of Ming Zhi Guangxiu, who was exterminated by her back then.

Rishi Saito took the order and said resolutely.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will definitely protect the young master's safety."

At this time, Saito Yoshilong felt that he was not breathing well, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, spraying it on Saito Toshizo.

The little girl Long Xing on the side screamed in fright.But Yoshiryu Saito could no longer care about her, he held Saito Dozo's arm tightly, and squeezed out the last few words.

"Remember! If Oda Nobunaga finds her whereabouts, go beg her husband Nong-kun! Go...beg...Nong..."

Before she could finish speaking, she had lost all her strength, tilted her head and died.

Saito Longxing cried unceasingly on his mother's body, Saito Toshizo wiped away his tears, and couldn't hold back the young master who was hugging his dead mother tightly.

There was no time to delay, she gritted her teeth and fell to the ground, and finally saluted Saito Yoshiryu.Then he grabbed the young master, and regardless of the dead master's body, he just tore off the child.

Afterwards, Saito Toshizo, together with the young master and several loyal Ji warriors, sneaked out of the city without a trace.
