Chapter 441 44. Exhaust All Your Strength and Be Loyal
Xiaoping was too quick-witted and quick-handed. He was sitting in front of Yamauchi Yoshiharu, so he moved in and immediately stepped forward to support Yamauchi Yoshiharu.
Looking at Yamauchi Yoshiharu's appearance, he must have had another stroke because of the surge of energy and blood!
The boss stared at Xiao Pingtai with wide eyes, revealing various indescribable emotions.
"Doctor, go and ask for Dr. Nagata." Xiaopingta even yelled out in a roaring voice.
Oishi Saburo got up quickly and rushed out to find Nagata Tokumoto. If Yamauchi Yoshiji was so angry that he died, then even committing seppuku would not be enough to atone for his sin.
Koheita rested his head on Yamauchi Yoshiji's neck, tilting his head, and put his ear close to Yamauchi Yoshiji's mouth to listen to see if his throat was breathing smoothly.
It didn't take long for Nagata Tokumoto to come over. With just one glance at Yamauchi Yoshiharu, Nagata Tokumoto's forehead wrinkled into the character "Sichuan". Even in modern times, a second stroke is almost fatal, let alone in Japan in the 16th century when medical treatment was extremely lacking. 【Note 1】
Despite this, Nagata Tokumoto still tried his best to administer acupuncture, trying to suppress the massive bleeding in Yamauchi's brain, control the condition, and save Yamauchi's life.
Koheita and Oishi Saburo stared nervously at Yamauchi Yoshiji's situation. Slowly, Yamauchi Yoshiji's breathing calmed down.
Nagata Tokumoto checked Yamauchi Yoshiji's pulse again, but his face didn't show anything.
"You two adults, please go out. Your Highness needs to rest." Nagata Tokumoto stood up and asked the two of them to go out.
After exiting the door and closing the barrier door, Nagata Tokumoto's expression changed drastically. He soon turned into a solemn and sad look, and spoke softly to Heita Xiao.
"I'm afraid your Highness will be here in a moment. The humble monk can only promise you tonight."
As soon as Koheita covered Oishi Saburo who was about to scream, he didn't expect that everything he predicted would happen.
Oishi Saburo struggled for a while, and suddenly seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed. His eyes became hollow, his hands dropped to the ground, stunned.
Seeing his appearance, Kodaira simply threw him to Nagata Tokumoto. Quickly walking out of the annex, dozens of people kneeling at the door were still kneeling there, unaware of what was going on inside the building.
"Can you ride a horse? Stand up if you know how!"
Xiaoping Tai Nai was appointed and entrusted by the Yamauchi clan, and Fu Yu, the governor of the Yamauchi clan, who doesn't know him? As soon as the question was asked, more than a dozen people stood up and looked at Xiao Pingtai in confusion.
"Now, each of us has a horse. Go back to the mansion and invite all the important ministers to come to Juchang to discuss the fall of the bastard city."
"If you can't handle this kind of thing again, don't come back to see His Highness and deal with it yourself."
Xiaoping spoke harshly and scolded these people. Instead, the gang came to life, jumping up one by one and leading the horses. Those who can't ride a horse put on new straw sandals, put up lanterns in front of the horses to light the way, and go together to invite people.
They thought they were summoning their retainers to discuss the fall of the Eighth Prince. The loss of the 20,000-gu territory was a huge event for any daimyo. Of course it is worth summoning the important ministers overnight to discuss and make a decision.
And Koheita returned to the museum again, and Nagata Tokumoto was staring at Yamauchi Yoshiharu. In addition to acupuncture, Nagata Tokumoto also prescribed a prescription. Fortunately, I had prepared in advance, and the medicinal materials were all ready. There were attendants who went to get the medicine and make a decoction.
"I have sent people to invite the ministers. It will take at least an hour to get to Komachi. Is there no problem?"
Kodaira Taifuer and Nagata Tokumoto asked, a horse can't run fast at night in winter, and one hour is already the fastest. It may even take longer, and Nagata Tokumoto needs to try his best to delay it.
"Try your best." Nagata Tokumoto answered lightly and quickly.
Xiao Pingtai left the tavern again, gathered the attendants in the tavern, and identified them one by one. Finally, he found an old servant who was already in his forties. Xiaoheita had some impression that this person should be an old family member of Murakami Yoshimitsu, an old man who had served the Yamauchi family for thirty years with the Murakami family.
"Zuo Mayun is at my house. Give him this letter. Do you understand? You have half an hour to arrive at the house!"
The old man nodded, stuffed the letter into his arms, held a burning pine torch, and disappeared in a flash. In the past, Xiao Pingtai always looked down on the running skills of these low-level soldiers, but he didn't expect that they could actually use them now.
The letter of course asked Murakami Yoshimitsu to carry Yamauchi Taro to Komaba overnight, preferably without attracting the attention of others.
Every minute and second after that began to become unbearable. Koheita looked at Yamauchi Yoshiharu lying on the couch and kept staring at his nose. Even if he stopped beating for a millisecond, Koheita's heart would rise to his throat.
The attendant boiled the soup and brought it over. Nagata Tokumoto took a sip first, which still burned his mouth. So after blowing for a while, Xiaoheita helped Yamauchi Yoshiharu and fed him.
After drinking the medicine, Yamauchi Yoshiji's complexion improved a little, and some of his color recovered from the paleness of gold paper.
"Ah, Heita-chan, is Taro here?" Yamauchi Yoshiji opened his eyes, grabbed Heita-chan's hand, and asked if Taro Yamauchi had arrived.
"I've secretly sent someone to invite you. They'll be here soon."
Xiaoping knew too well that Yamauchi Yoshiji's return to glory had begun, and the last moment of his life had begun.
Yamauchi Yoshiji nodded, and his originally stern face suddenly softened.
"I'm going to meet Toji-in, Luen-in, and the ancestors of the Yamauchi clan soon. I want to be able to face them after I have built such a family fortune in my life."
"I wonder if Habayashi is waiting for me at the Hirasaka Sanjuku River. He is a filial child."
"When I was fifteen, I went into battle for the first time, attacking Fujisawa's Ichinomiya Castle. I defeated two enemy generals in the first battle and conquered the castle in just half an hour. I thought I would take all of Kashin, pacify the Kaido, carry forward the foundation of my father and ancestors, and build Ashikaga's reputation." [Note 2]
"Now I know I may not survive tonight. It's a pity that Taro is too young. The eastern country is surrounded by heroes, and it is difficult for a leader without a hero to gain a foothold."
"Koyata, you have the ability to be a prime minister and maintain peace. No matter where you go, you will not be buried. It is my bad luck that you are left in the mountains of Shinano."
"If Taro can be helped, I hope you can do your best to help him. If Taro cannot be helped, he is the blood of the Yulin after all."
Yamauchi Yoshiharu said, and tears fell. His extremely weak hand burst out with great strength and held Koyata's hand tightly. For the first time, his turbid eyes showed a trace of prayer, which was extremely sincere.
Empress Dowager Xiaoping took three steps back, knelt on both knees, and prostrated herself on the ground with great respect, and did this nine times.
"I dare not fail to exhaust my strength, serve the loyalty and loyalty, and die!"

[Note 2]: When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty. None of us know our end, really, or what hand will guide us there. A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game. be kings or men of power. When you stand before God, you cannot say, “But I was told by others to do thus,” or that virtue was not convenient at the time. This will not suffice. Remember that.
