Su Ruojin and the others weren't Yamato people, so they couldn't possibly know everything. Seeing Tachibana Chiyo's expression, Su Ruojin asked, "What's wrong?"
Tachibana Chiyo hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but the people that Tokuyoshi Yasuhito mentioned earlier are daimyo stationed in various parts of Yamato. It seems that they received Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's message and came to support the shogunate."
This signal is now a notification to the daimyo who has arrived in Akagami and is bringing his troops to the Imperial Palace.
Your Highness, you should leave quickly. The armies led by these daimyo number in the tens of thousands.
"General of the Imperial Guards, quickly take the Prince and Princess of Great Chu away."
Tens of thousands of people?
No wonder the emperor agreed to his conditions so readily.
With all this happening, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the Emperor and the Shogunate; he has no choice but to gamble.
He gambled that he could help him destroy the shogunate and regain control of the Yamato regime.
Otherwise, if these daimyo came to Akakage Castle to help Tokuyoshi Yasuhito quell everything, the emperor would not only be forever controlled by Tokuyoshi Yasuhito, but even his descendants would not be able to escape the control of the shogunate.
Just then, someone rushed in, shouting, "Something terrible has happened! Uesugi Katsukage and Takeda Shigenobu are leading their troops toward the Imperial Palace!"
Miyamoto Yoshitaka's expression changed, and he hurriedly said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I will lead the guards to hold them off. You, the Prince of Da Chu, and the Princess Consort should take cover for now."
After finishing his speech, Miyamoto Yoshiaki was about to leave when he was stopped by Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's men.
De Yi Kangren scoffed, "Miyamoto Yoshiaki, did I say you could leave?"
Miyamoto Yoshitaka couldn't possibly bring his entire guard with him to the palace, and without his orders, the guards wouldn't move.
Tokuyoshi Yasuhito was certain of this; as long as Miyamoto Yoshitaka was not allowed to leave, the guards would be useless!
Miyamoto Yoshitaka drew his sword, ready to confront Tokuyoshi Yasuhito's men, but Hu Qing stopped him, saying, "General of the Imperial Guards, don't rush."
Miyamoto Yoshitaka was stunned, not understanding what Hu Qing meant, but subconsciously he listened and withdrew his sword.
"Sigh!" At this moment, Su Ruojin sighed heavily.
Upon hearing this, Deyi Kangren looked at Su Ruojin with a mocking expression, "Su Ruojin, it's too late for you to regret it now. I won't let you return to Great Chu alive!"
Su Ruojin shook her head at Deyi Kangren, "Deyi Kangren, whether I can return to Da Chu alive is none of your concern, but I know you won't live past today."
"Haha, Su Ruojin, do you think I'm easily intimidated? I've recalled all the daimyo near Akagami, and even daimyo from some distant domains are rushing here. So what if you have support? So what if you have some powerful weapons? Can your forces stand against the entire Yamato?"
De Yi Kang Ren didn't take Su Ruojin's words to heart, thinking she was just bluffing.
He said he was prepared not to let her return to the Great Chu alive. What makes Su Ruojin think he won't live past today? Just because of his words?
Su Ruojin ignored him and looked at Ono Yuuki, "Patriarch Ono, has the general been feeling weak lately? He can't get angry or exert himself, otherwise he will experience excruciating chest pain."
Yuuki Ono was stunned. "Your Highness, how did you know?"
The general told him to keep this a secret, and he had never told anyone else. How could the Princess Consort of Great Chu know?
"Deyi Kangren, you sent a ninja back then, oh no, you call yourselves hermits, and you made the hermit Suzuki Masao become the head of the Bessou family to infiltrate my side, and take the opportunity to steal the antidote for the tick soul sand that I developed, and even went so far as to use Ono Akuro to test the medicine."
Have you ever considered that I deliberately let Suzuki Masao steal this medicine?
Because it's only the antidote for the first stage of the tick-borne poison; without the subsequent antidotes, the poison cannot be completely neutralized and will eventually take effect.
Upon hearing this, everyone except Xiao Yanchu and those in the know changed their expressions.
"Impossible! Su Ruojin, I've just been detoxified and am weak. As a doctor, you know that. Don't think you can fool me with this lie." Deyi Kangren naturally didn't believe Su Ruojin's words.
