Have you returned to the Sheguan family?
What is she going back for?
Based on Tachibana Chiyo's understanding of the Regent's family, if she were to return to the Imperial Palace now, she might be sent back to the Shogunate.
"Have someone keep an eye on her. If she comes out, find a way to bring her back and have our people at the Sheguan family gather information."
"yes."
Just then, someone entered and said, "Lady, there is a secret letter."
Chiyo Tachibana opened the secret letter and glanced at it. "Have Lord Miyamoto prepare."
Chiyo Tachibana burned the secret letter on the fire.
He then knelt before the portrait of the previous emperor, clasping his hands together in prayer.
"Your Majesty, I hope you will bless the Emperor."
The following day, the shogunate.
"My lord, the Hatamoto army has been assembled, and two hundred warships are in position."
“Alright! Follow me!” Tokugi Shingo picked up his helmet, got up and walked out of the room.
On the Xiaohai.
Xiao Yanchu, Su Ruojin, and the others stood on the deck, looking at the densely packed Yamato warships all around them.
"They've learned their lesson this time; they didn't crowd together," Xiao Yanchu said with a faint smile.
The Yamato warships in front of them were kept at a distance from each other, so that even if one caught fire, it would not affect the other ships.
Even if the Great Chu cannons were to fire, the affected area of ships would be much smaller than before.
However, this resulted in many more gaps between the ships.
The ships in front of them were surrounding the Xiaohai, but made no other moves.
"Looks like they're waiting for someone?" Su Ruojin said.
"The warships have arrived, but Deyi Kangren hasn't arrived yet."
Su Ruojin shook her head. "Deyi Kangren won't be coming. It should be Deyi Xinwu who comes."
"Why?" Su Ziyang asked, somewhat curious.
Before being poisoned, Tokugi Yasuhito was a famous samurai in Yamato, wielding a long sword with great skill and power. It was said that he had never been defeated. Su Ziyang was quite eager to spar with him.
Deyi Xinwu's skills were far inferior to Deyi Kangren's, and coupled with his advanced age, Su Ziyang felt that he could not bully the old man.
"Given what's happened recently, if you were him, wouldn't you be angry?" Su Ruojin asked.
"Yes." Su Ziyang automatically put himself in the shoes of someone of virtue, righteousness, and benevolence. How could he not be angry at losing hundreds of men and dozens of warships like this?
"His poison is not yet cured, and he should avoid getting angry. If he gets angry, it will trigger the toxins in his body. At best, he will vomit blood, which will look like he is extremely angry and his heart is being attacked. At worst, the poison will recur and there will be no cure."
As if to prove Su Ruojin's words, a rumbling sound was heard as soon as she finished speaking.
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ziyang were both seasoned veterans, and they immediately understood the situation.
"They're here."
Dust rose up on the road to the beach, and the orderly Yamato cavalry raised their flags high, which read "Eternal Virtue and Righteousness" in Yamato language.
At a glance, there were at least several thousand people.
Standing at the front of the entire group was Tokugi Shingo.
Su Ziyang sighed, "What a pity, I was hoping to exchange a few moves with Deyi Kangren."
Xiao Yanchu looked in the direction of the Hatamoto army and said, "Second brother, the man next to Tokuyoshi Shingo is called Minamoto Tadayoshi. He is the head of the Hatamoto army. His swordsmanship is one of the best in Yamato. He may not be worse than Tokuyoshi Yasuhito."
Su Ziyang looked at the person Xiao Yanchu had mentioned. The man was riding a horse to the left of Deyi Xinwu. He was about forty years old, with a thick beard and a sinister look. He was clearly not a simple person.
Su Ziyang smiled and said, "I'll give it a try later, but they only have this many people. Are they enough to fight?"
Although there were several thousand people, if they all rushed up together, they would be nothing in the face of explosives.
"Second Brother, there are only about a hundred people on our ship. It will take time to load the explosives. If they just spread out and speed up their advance, they can break through," Su Ruojin calmly analyzed.
“Yes, and these ships too,” Xiao Yanchu added.
