"The Imperial Household Department is still alive, so don't worry. Go and rest."
Chiyo Tachibana glanced at the maid beside her, who then helped Chinatsu Ueno up. "This way, please, for the New Year's Eve feast."
Hearing Tachibana Chiyo say that Odai-sho was still alive, Ueno Chinatsu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Tachibana Chiyo wouldn't lie to her, otherwise why would she save them?
She wanted to ask more about the whereabouts of the Imperial Palace, but then someone else came in and handed Tachibana Chiyo a letter.
Chinatsu Ueno knew that Chiyo Tachibana had other things to attend to, so she didn't ask any more questions and had to leave with the maid.
Chiyo Tachibana opened the letter and her eyes narrowed. "Give this letter to the Imperial Guard Commander and prepare the horses!"
"yes!"
On the other side, at the Sheguan family's house.
"Sir, Musashi has been found. This is his confession." Sato Hayato handed over a small booklet.
Izumi Nobukatsu opened the booklet and looked at it for a while. After closing it, he asked, "Did the Imperial Secretary reveal the whereabouts of the antidote?"
Hayato Sato shook his head. "Not yet."
Speaking of this Odaido, Sato Hayato also felt admiration. In order to force her to tell him about the antidote, he had already subjected her to all the torture instruments in the dungeon.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly gentle and weak Odai-sho endured all the torture instruments without uttering a sound.
Upon hearing this, Izumi Nobuyuki threw the booklet in his hand at Sato Hayato, saying, "You good-for-nothing, you can't even handle a woman."
Sato Hayato immediately knelt down, "Please punish me, sir."
Looking at Sato Hayato kneeling on the ground, Izumi Nobukatsu tried to calm himself down and asked, "How is the situation on the shogunate side?"
"The lord has already led the Hatamoto army and his retainers to the seaside, and they have also driven thousands of civilians from the city there," Sato Hayato said truthfully.
Izumi Nobukatsu understood immediately and sneered, "Using the common people as a shield? That's his style. Sato, take the men, let's go to the beach."
Sato Hayato was taken aback. "Sir, are we going to help the Shogunate attack the Xiaohai?"
In his opinion, it would be better to let the general and the people of Chu fight each other, and then the master would appear when they are both exhausted.
Why would you, sir, still go to help the shogunate?
"Just go when I tell you to, don't ask any questions!"
"Yes." Sato Hayato dared not say anything more, got up and left.
seaside.
After a few rounds, Hu Qing plunged his sword into the chest of the messenger, then sheathed his sword and returned to the ship.
There is a rule among the countries of the Nine Provinces: when two countries are at war, envoys are not to be killed.
But why bother explaining such principles to the Yamato Army, which uses innocent civilians as shields?
They saw that the Great Chu had responded to their surrender offer with concrete actions.
Yuan Zhongyi looked calmly at Deyi Xinwu and said, "Elder, these people from Da Chu are barbaric and rude. There's nothing to say. Let's just attack."
Yuan Zhongyi looked at the Xiaohai with disdain from beginning to end; in his eyes, the people of Da Chu were nothing more than clowns.
The general and the elder had previously shown them leniency only because that Princess Consort of the Great Chu had some medical skills and might be able to cure the general's poison.
Now that the general's poison has been cured, these people from Great Chu are no longer of any use; we can just kill them.
De Yixin's eyes were filled with anger. These people from the Great Chu were far too arrogant. He had originally intended to give them a chance to live, but since they refused, he couldn't be blamed.
