Chapter 711 23. It Is Easy to Know the Will of Heaven, but It Is Difficult to Defy It.

The morning light was dim, and the early autumn morning in Shinano was slightly chilly.

Xiao Pingtai stood alone barefoot in the courtyard, looking in the direction of Luoyang, his figure swaying in the mist.

"Didn't you rest last night?" A Ling took a plain robe and put it on Xiao Pingtai.

"Why did you get up too?" He turned around and held A Ling's hand.

"I don't know why I dreamed of my father last night, and he told me to take good care of Chang Wan and make him a talent."

"Is that so..." Xiao Pingtai sighed.

"Do you believe in destiny?"

"There must be destiny in the dark..." A Ling was not sure.

"It's easy to know the will of heaven, but it's hard to go against it..."

After that, Xiao Pingtai took A Ling back to the house. A Ling picked up the paper and pen on Xiao Pingtai's desk, and when she saw the "Departure to the Capital" wet with tears, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Death before the victory of the expedition makes heroes cry." For no reason, these words appeared in A Ling's mind.

Looking at Xiao Pingtai again, he had already knelt down by the door frame, his thin hands tightly grasping the wooden frame, making a slight but harsh scratching sound.

A Ling immediately stood up and ran to the door, only to see Xiao Pingtai's face twisted, vomiting blood in pain, and the door was already soaked with blood.

"Don't make a sound... please ask Dr. Nagata to come..." Xiao Pingtai frowned and spoke intermittently.

"..."A Ling had already panicked, and only uttered "yes" in her mouth, while helping Xiao Pingtai to lie down on the couch.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Xiao Pingtai grabbed A Ling's arm with his bloody hand, which made A Ling cry out in pain, but also made A Ling sober up.

"...I know...I know..."

A Ling hurriedly took off her bloody outer robe, changed into a coat, and got up to call A Rong and Yu Liu who lived in Xiao Pingtai's house. Let Yu Liu quickly ask Nagata Tokumoto, while she and Arong looked after Xiao Pingtai and cleaned the blood on the ground.

The little girl came in a daze early in the morning, and saw that the whole room was covered with blood. When she saw Xiao Pingtai had collapsed on the couch, she almost cried out.

A Ling covered her mouth so that she didn't wake up others. Although Yu Liu was small, she was much calmer. After all, she had some courage to write a letter to Nao Jiang. She turned around and ran outside to ask Nagata Tokumoto to come and treat him.

Xiao Pingtai had a severe abdominal pain, but his mind was not confused. He whispered to A Ling to notify Hosokawa Cai Nv to come. He only needed to come alone, and he must not mobilize a large number of people.

Not long after, Nagata Tokumoto and Hosokawa Cai Nv arrived one after another.

Nagata Tokumoto only saw the large area of ​​blood in the house that had not been cleaned up, and he knew that the situation was urgent. When he saw Xiao Pingtai's pale face, although he was no longer vomiting blood, he even had difficulty speaking.

Taking out the silver needles from the medicine box, Nagata Tokumoto immediately began to give acupuncture. Hosokawa Nainori was used to seeing people who died, but now she was inevitably a little flustered. She wanted to ask her sister loudly, but she was afraid of affecting the treatment, so she could only walk around outside the corridor.

Ah Ling had no idea what was going on. She only saw that the person who was fine in the morning suddenly fell down. Now she was breathing out more than breathing in, and she couldn't say anything except crying.

After a diagnosis and treatment, Xiao Pingtai's breath stabilized. Nagata Tokumoto ignored the blood on his hands and prescribed medicine, asking Yu Liu to run back to get it.

Hosokawa Nainori had the opportunity to ask, but Nagata Tokumoto just shook his head.

"How is Xiao Pingtai!"

"..."

"Don't be silent! What is the situation? There must be an explanation!" Hosokawa Nainori was also anxious.

"I'm afraid it's going to be serious!" Nagata Tokumoto said this with worry.

He naturally knew the status and position of Koyata at this moment. Once it was spread that Koyata was in trouble, the general would be injured before the battle. Not to mention the morale of the army, the military affairs of the Yamanouchi family would not be taken over for a while.

"How come it was fine yesterday, now it's not good!"

Although he was anxious, Hosokawa Saimie was not without any ideas. This was also the reason why Koyata invited him. Seeing that Nagata Tokumoto could only ease the situation, he had to do the worst interruption.

At this time, Honda Tadakatsu and Sakakibara Yasumasa also came home one after another. Hosokawa Saimie had a manpower, and first went to call Sanada Masayuki. At this time, a staff officer was also urgently needed.

Then go to the castle to ask for leave, and don't tell Ashikaga Yoshiaki and Hidechi Ni for the time being. If you can get up and climb the city within one or two days, keep it a secret. If it's not good within one or two days, it doesn't matter whether you notify or not.

The main thing is to prevent the news from leaking out. There are many people in the city and they are talkative. Once something happens, it will inevitably cause panic outside the city!

Sanada Masayuki was not on duty today, but was suddenly called to Kobayata's house by his father-in-law. He was confused at first, but when he got outside, he realized something was wrong.

Everyone in the family had a sad face, and there were a lot of traces of washing on the corridor. He had been on the battlefield for nearly ten years, so he could smell the strong smell of blood.

Seeing Hosokawa Cainu pacing in the corridor, Sanada Masayuki was shocked and roughly guessed that Kobayata was in trouble!

"Father, how is the bullet?"

"The doctor said it's not good, I'm afraid it won't work." Hosokawa Cainu saw her son-in-law coming over, and she had someone who could give advice, so she came over immediately.

"Very bad? Could it be!" Sanada Masayuki didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Kobayata asked us to keep the news secret beforehand. Now you know it and I know it. No one else knows it after leaving this yard. What's the rule in the future? Do you have any idea?"

"Although Danzheng has a precedent of taking sick leave for recuperation because of stomach disease, it is natural that he will not show up for a day or two, but if it takes too long, I am afraid that it will not be concealed!" Sanada Masayuki knew the importance of Koyata.

"I know this truth, but it is difficult to deal with it!" Hosokawa Saimie looked into the house again.

At this time, Yoroku brought the medicine up. Hosokawa Saimie stopped him, tasted it, and immediately asked Aling to feed it to Koyata. Koyata was in a coma at this time and could not drink it at all. Sanada Masayuki simply knelt down, tilted Koyata's neck, clamped Koyata's chin, and asked Aling to feed it.

"After taking the medicine, Danzheng should be able to wake up for a while." Nagata Tokumoto was not sure.

"How do you say..." After hearing this, Hosokawa Saimie hurriedly asked Aling.

But Koyata had no reaction and was still in a coma.

"For long-term planning, it's best to send someone to transform into Danzheng and try to leave the city to delay time." Sanada Masayuki waited for a while, and seeing that Kobayata showed no signs of waking up, he immediately suggested to Hosokawa Saimie.

"Kagemusha? Where is he?"

"I see that this follower is about the same size as Danzheng. He put on Danzheng's Nanbando and went straight to Hamamatsu. He said he was going to inspect the warships and food ships in Shangluo, and sent them to attack the Shima Kuki navy first. It's reasonable."

The two looked at Higuchi Yoroku.

"Are you the boy from the Higuchi family?"

"My name is Yoroku."

"Heihachi! Follow Yoroku and run around Hamamatsu. Don't do anything and don't say anything. Got it!" Hosokawa Saimie recognized Honda Tadakatsu.

"No need!" Honda Tadakatsu glanced at Kobayata in the house, grabbed Yoroku and went to change armor.
