"What's the matter?" Otoyo Yoshiki asked after the report of the warrior came in.

"Lord, the Luo family sent someone to send a wooden box. According to the visitor, the wooden box contained the head of the Honya Yoshihiro Kanri." The warrior reported.

"What? Where is the person from the Luo family?" Otomo Yoshiki exclaimed.

"Report to the lord, the person who came to the family alone came to the formation, put down the wooden box and a letter and left." The warrior reported truthfully.

"Hmph! Where is the wooden box and letter?" Otomo Yoshiki asked again after snorting lightly.

The warrior immediately brought in the wooden box and letters outside the tent. The ones in the wooden box were indeed Yoshihiro Kanri's head. At this time, Yoshihiro Kanri's head had been carefully dressed up.

"Send him back to Yoshihiro's house to have a grand funeral." After looking at Yoshihiro's head, Yoshimi Otomo ordered. Although he had lost such a general, Yoshimi Otomo, who had long been used to life and death, was no longer sad at this time.

After ordering people to take down Yoshihiro Kanri's head, Ototo Yoshimi opened the letter sent by the Luo family and read it.

The letter was written by Masayoshi, mainly to tell Otoyo Yoshiki that although the two families were in a war, they were moved by the loyalty and bravery of the generals on both sides, so they dressed up and returned the head. Regarding Yoshihiro Kanri's body, the Luo family originally planned to restrain Yoshihiro Kanri's body and head together, but the body had been discarded by the Kikuchi soldier who had killed Yoshihiro Kanri and could not be found. In the end, they had to return the head that Kikuchi Yoshiki Yoshiki sent to Otoyo's house in full dress.

"Kikichi Yoshitake!" After reading the letter, Otomo Yoshikazu gritted his teeth and said to himself.

At this time, Kikuchi Yoshito, who had already occupied the Fucheng City of the Faehou Chixing Family, did not know that he offered Yoshihiro's head to the Luo family in the name of showing good news. Then he attempted to lead the anger of the Otomo family to the Luo family. However, the Luo family was resolved by the way of returning the head and telling the origins of the letters. Instead, he even led the anger of the Otomo family to the Kikuchi family again.

"Lord, my subordinates think that our family should not continue to fight with the Luo family here." After taking Otoyo Yoshimi's letter, Usuki Kan immediately advised him.

Otoyo Yoshiki did not respond directly to Usuki's advice on speed, but instead looked at the map in the tent and pondered.

"Lord, at this time, the expeditionary army of the Hokage family in our family had been defeated, and the Wudao navy was also wandering along the coast of the Luo family. Our army was blocked from the border and could not advance in an instant." Seeing that the family governor had no plans to withdraw his troops, Usuki continued to say speedily, "After the news of our family's ambush and the defeat of the Hokage army began to spread among our family's army, and now it is about to enter August, and it will soon be the autumn harvest season, so the morale of our family's army has dropped greatly. Besides..."

At this time, Otoyo Yoshiki looked at Usukiri Ken, who immediately stopped talking.

"Continue talking." Ototo Yoshiki frowned.

"Besides, there has been a circulating in the army that Shao Er Dongshang was secretly killed by his family, which has puzzled many soldiers and generals. It is said that the Luo family has also made this news everywhere..."

"In addition, this time, the Luo family took the initiative to return Lord Yoshihiro Kanri's head, and the Luo family will definitely promote the matter of returning Shiga's personal body to protect the body. To show his benevolence and righteousness..."

"What worries the ministers most is that the family of Yoshihiro Kenriki happens to be located in Takada Castle at the junction of Toyoko and Toyoko, the Honkai family controlled by Toyoko and Toyoko, and the Kitashiga family where Shiga is located is also located at the junction of Toyoko and Toyoko. If the two families are in turmoil due to the death of the two adults, and the surrounding powerful people take the opportunity to enter, this will be extremely unfavorable to the family."

"In addition, Kikuchi Yoshiwu had occupied the Chixing family's Jufu City at this time. This city just blocked the connection between the family and the wealthy families in the central and northern part of Feihou. In order to prevent the Kikuchi family from further expanding their power in Feihou, it is better for us to send a large army to stabilize the situation of Feihou as soon as possible!"

Yukiki Kensui said a lot of hidden dangers in one breath, with the purpose of this, to persuade Otomo Yoshiki to withdraw his troops impatiently and not to continue to get entangled with the Luo family after the Tuihou. Of course, he had another most important hidden danger that he had not expressed, but when he was about to continue speaking out, the samurai outside the tent came in again to report:

"Report, lord, the detective from Fenghou asked for an urgent meeting."

"Transfer!" Otomo Yoshiki's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Could it be that something was wrong with his backyard, right? So he immediately asked someone to come in to report.

"Meet the lord!" The person who came to report was an elite detective from Otomo's family. Due to his long-term escape, his body was soaked in sweat.

"What happened to Toyoko?" Otomo Yoshikazu asked immediately.

"Report to the lord, there was no abnormal incident in the queen Feng." The visitor immediately said, "But from Zhou Fang of the Da Nei family, the news came that Lord Xiaohara Jianyuan, who was sent to the Da Nei family, was assassinated. It was rumored that it was done by the assassin of the Luo family."

"What?" Otomo Yoshiki was shocked.

"Master, please ask me to ask me." After learning that Ohara Jianyuan was killed, Usuki, who was standing by, immediately said, "After Lord Ohara Jianyuan was assassinated, did the Ounai family do other actions?"

"No, when the villain rushed to Zhuhou, he had not received any information from Zhuhou about the abnormal behavior of the Daou family." The visitor reported truthfully.

"Isn't even the culprit of the assassination of my family's Lord Kohara Jianyuan?"

"Report to the Lord, it is said that on the night when Lord Ohara Jianyuan was assassinated, one of the confidants of Lord Ohara Jianyuan and a maid of His Highness Yoshikazu Ohara disappeared. Moreover, Lord Ohara Jianyuan was also killed in His Highness Yoshikazu Ohara's mansion, so the Ohara family believed that this was done by the people of the family, so they did not continue to investigate the murderer."

"Hmph, Yoshitaka Ouchi! OK, very good!" Yoshiki Otomo said angrily when he heard this.

"Lord, for the sake of the present, it is best to withdraw the troops! Otherwise, once the internal family intervenes in this dispute, it may not be a good thing for the family." Yukiki quickly advised him.

"Yeah!" At this time, Otomo Yoshiki no longer insisted. Because as Ohara Kenyuan was assassinated at Zhoufang Yamaguchi, the relationship between the Otomo family and the Otomo family was a bit subtle. If the Otomo family suddenly stood on the side of the Luo family and then attacked from the north bank of the Chigoku River to the Otomo family's territory on the south bank, then the Otomo family's retreat at this time would be very likely to be blocked by the Otomo family. After weighing the pros and cons, Otomo Yoshiki finally decided to withdraw his troops. However, even if the troops were withdrawn, it was not so easy to retreat. Once the Luo family followed and attacked, it was very likely to be a pursuit battle. Otomo Yoshiki didn't want to go to attack others, but was chased by his opponent in the end. This attack on the Otomo family's prestige would be a big blow.

"Lord, you can summon Toji Kenlian, who is in Akashi Castle at this time. If he is the backbone of this withdrawal, he will definitely be able to ensure that this retreat will be foolproof." Usukiki's quick-sightedness saw the reason why Ototo Yoshiki was worried, so he suggested.

"Okay, let's act according to this." Otoyo Yoshikazu agreed.

In the following days, although the Otomo family still maintained an attack on the Luo family's positions every day, they had secretly prepared to withdraw their troops.

Finally, on the evening of August 3, 13th year of the 13th year of the Astronomy, a small number of people left behind in the camp, and quietly retreated.

Early the next morning, when the last part of the left-behind soldiers of the Otomo family also retreated quickly, Masayoshi, who was in the big tent at the foot of Gaoliang Mountain, learned the news.

"Military advisor, how do you think of the withdrawal of the Otomo family?" Masayoro, who received the news, did not immediately order the pursuit, but instead asked the retainers around him.

"Lord, when you received the exact news about the assassination from Zhou Fang Yamaguchi Pavilion, weren't you supposed that the day when Otomo's family withdrew from the withdrawal of troops?" Yamamoto Kanasuke replied.

"What does military advisor mean?"

"Don't hesitate, the withdrawal of the Otomo family this time must be true. Even if there is a fraud, as long as the family is cautious when pursuing, it will definitely be fine." Yamamoto Kanasuke said.

"Well, have you investigated the situation of the opponent's back formation?" Masayoro nodded and agreed to Yamamoto Kansuke's suggestion, then immediately turned his head and asked the Black Hawk who came to report.

"The enemy's retreating rear troops are quite well-organized, and it seems to be a defense against our pursuit." Black Hawk said immediately.

"Oh? Who is the leading general in the opponent's back formation?"
