Itaya and Liu Bang, and Tanaka.

More than a dozen days after we left Xianyang, we were just a few miles from Upper County.

In the strong sun, the high walls of Upper County were seen.

The area around the castle gate is noisy.

We turned back a little and put a carriage into the woods.

"Let's scout."

Me and Tianye go through the woods and get closer to Yi.

Hide in the grass and ask for the castle gate.

I wonder if it was a wild horse on either side of the road, a lot of people went disorderly and saw soldiers from that gap.

Eventually, the line of wild horses broke off, revealing the full range of soldiers going down the road.

A civilian-like man rides the carriage at the beginning, followed by only fifty soldiers.

The more soldiers, one man is roped and taken.

The man is magnificent, physically fit, and, despite being roped, he is walking without stray.

I can't ask for an expression because it's far away.

"That, no way..."

Tianye roars next door.

"... Master Meng, perhaps"

"Master Fu Su..."

I didn't answer Tatsuyoshi's question.

The soldiers go far away, and the wild horses return to Yi.

One man was spotted in a crowd that was neglected.

"There was a Sudden Temple. Let's go."

Through the grass and close to Tianjin.

Tian Ji also noticed this way, looked around and then rushed over here.

Why is Tian Tu here?

I had a run from Xianyang to Di before.

At that time, it took too long for Tian Ji to travel alone. Concerned that the personnel would be cut off, Tian Rongyi (Lakuyu) put people as a relay site.

He asked Tian Tu to run to Luoyi with a horse and then continue straight ahead to Upper County to ask him how it was going.

"Horizontal, Middle Hall"

Tian Ji rendezvous with a stiff expression. Then we headed to the woods where everyone waited.

"Earlier, the squad..."

Tianye asks.

"... Master Meng will be captured and sent to Xianyang. Master Fu Su... Rumor has it that he has been self-harmed..."

Tian Jin reported with regret.

"Oh, my uncle..."

Meng Lin moans. It's hard on her.

I still couldn't make it...... did Fu Su believe in it?

Now it's just like it's ever been.

Shit, what do we do? Give up here and go back to Dietrichson.

Zhao Gao and Hu Hai will focus on consolidating the inside for a while.

I have time.

Besides, looking for the Meng clan, Meng Lin is the only one left. There will be a small number of soldiers out there.

I can protect you in Di.

Wait for the time in Di until the rebellion...

Huh... damn it! Nor can Fu Su and Meng Yi be helped, nor can Meng Yi be avenged.

... Why can't I do better!

Hold your head, scratch.

Inside, I have a plan.

I looked up to Tian Yong's words.

"Attack that squad and reclaim Monty."

Everyone looks beside the field. Such impotence.

"When it comes to attacking, it's the Horizontal Hall and the Sudden Hall, a few of the Mongolian squire, no matter how strong the Horizontal Hall is, for fifty people"

"I'll count this one too"

"Running to Di now won't make it."

"It's not Di. Rent a soldier"

You want to borrow it?

"From here, to the south, there is a Yi called Anyu. There is a leader of a bandit named Peng Yue (Hoetsu), who covers the neighborhood. I'll borrow one of his men."

Peng Yue, right or Peng Yue! This is the age of bandits to kings. That's all I know, but he's a celebrity who keeps his name in history anyway.

If you're on my side, it's definitely comforting.

"But with thieves..."

Tian Ji seems worried that his name will be hurt.

"Even when it comes to thieves, he resists Qin's oppression and is a forceful thief who only attacked public officials. The rumors spread around, and now more than a thousand of my men."

"I'm sorry to bother you, but will Peng Yue lend me his men?"

Even though he was captured, Meng is a general of Qin. Can you lend a man to help someone who was your enemy?

"I think it depends on the consideration. Besides, me and that guy know each other. Little bit when I was younger."

That's what Tatsuyoshi laughs like a prank. Oh, that smile. Long time no see.

All right.

"Okay. Let's go with that measure. Please negotiate with Peng Yue."

"I'll take care of it. Your lord will follow you, too, won't he?

What, uh, okay.

"Of course, I'm coming!

Let's go. Don't be silly, Tanaka!

Tatsuyoshi and I laughed at each other.
