...

In Fujiwara's secret room.

The key personnel of the Fujiwara family gathered together again.

Fujiwara Shitsutsu asked, "How are you doing what you were asked to do?"

Tadashi Fujiwara was the first to speak: "Sakabe is very polite and enthusiastic. I think he should try his best to speak for us Fujiwara clan. However, Sakabe is just the brains of a samurai group with small achievements. In Liaodong King's place, He should not have too much weight, so I asked him to connect our Fujiwara clan and Tamamomae, and promised to help Tamamomae get the queen position, and also promised to make the Sakabe family a big family like our Fujiwara clan. He didn't reject it outright, I think he should be tempted, but... until now, no news has come back."

Fujiwara Tadatsu paid homage to Fujiwara Shitong and Fujiwara Tadashi, and then said: "The Ministry of Rites has accepted the beauties of our Fujiwara family, and Li Shizui has also accepted the treasure from me, and promised to invite people from the palace to pick our Fujiwara family's as soon as possible." Beauty."

Fujiwara Yorimaga said: "The Iseheira clan has a thousand loyal warriors, the Hanoi Genji has [-] loyal warriors, plus our Fujiwara clan's own [-] warriors, they should be able to protect us well."

Fujiwara Shintotsu stood up slowly, then walked to a painting with the word "forbearance" written on it, and then looked at the word "forbearance" while saying: "There is a hope that none of us Fujiwara clan can evacuate Heian-kyo. "

If the Fujiwara family chooses to evacuate, let alone whether they can evacuate safely, the good situation that the Fujiwara family has spent hundreds of years to establish will inevitably disappear.

More importantly, where can the Fujiwara family go after they evacuate Heian-kyo?
Today, most of Japan has fallen, and all of Japan's efforts have not been able to change this situation. Only the Fujiwara clan can change it?
Therefore, if the Fujiwara family chooses to flee, they must either choose a hidden place to remain anonymous, or they can only sail away to another country.

No matter which one you choose, the Fujiwara clan will be history.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, the Fujiwara family will not take this step.

After a while, Fujiwara Shitong asked: "What are the Tachibana family and other aristocratic families planning to do?"

Fujiwara Nagashimi said: "The Tachibana clan is like our Fujiwara clan. They dismissed all the slaves and sent all the young girls of the Tachibana clan to the Ministry of Rites. In addition, they also donated [-] catties of gold and [-] catties of silver to the King of Liaodong. Submit to the King of Liaodong."

A person who was wearing a bamboo hat and couldn't see his face clearly said in a hoarse voice: "The Orange family has also gathered a large armed force, and is preparing to break out of Heianjing when it is absolutely necessary. In addition, the Qianjia family and Bei Dao Many aristocratic families spent a lot of money to buy off the guards in the west city, and if the King of Liaodong does not change the order of the public trial or issue an amnesty tomorrow, they are going to escape from Ping'an capital from the west city."

Fujiwara faithfully said: "A group of idiots, why didn't the King of Liaodong prevent them from fleeing? If they really escape from Ping'an capital from the west city, they must be dead."

Fujiwara Nagami said leisurely: "Then what do you ask them to do? If they don't escape, they will have to go to the public trial. The possibility of death is higher, so it's better to give it a go."

Master Fujiwara sighed, and said: "If the King of Liaodong doesn't change the order of the public trial or issue an amnesty tomorrow, our Fujiwara clan can only resort to risky tactics."

Speaking of this, Fujiwara Shitong looked at Fujiwara Tadashi and asked, "Is the list for withdrawal ready?"

Fujiwara faithfully said: "It's ready, a total of 520 four people."

Fujiwara Shitong frowned, and said: "There are too many people, such a big target, it is impossible to escape...Keep the number below [-], remember, this is related to the life and death of our Fujiwara family. Zhiren!"

Fujiwara Tadada bowed slightly ashamed, and said, "I see, I'll go back and draw up the list now!"

Fujiwara Shitong looked back at the word "forbearance" again, and said, "Just wait until tomorrow."

For the former Japanese nobles, this was the most difficult day in their lives.

They used all the methods that could be used, but the King of Liaodong did not change the order of the public trial or issue an amnesty.

The former Japanese nobles knew that their end was coming.

At night, some former Japanese officials and nobles who could not hold their breath took the lead in fleeing from the west city.

Surprisingly, they actually escaped.

This gave great confidence to those former Japanese nobles who were still on the sidelines.

Therefore, more and more former Japanese nobles escaped from Pingjing City from Xicheng.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Jushi also moved!

More than 100 core members of the Orange Clan were escorted by more than 2000 warriors and killed them out of the east gate.

After the people of the Fujiwara family heard that the people of the Tachibana family had successfully escaped, they were eager to try.

But Nagami Fujiwara faintly felt that there was something wrong with it, so I suggest waiting and watching.

But Fujiwara Shitong thought about it, and said: "We can't wait any longer, the sky will dawn in another hour, and by then, we won't be able to control our own destiny."

Fujiwara Shitong then rushed to the core staff of the Fujiwara clan who had already prepared: "Let's go!"

At this moment, Fujiwara Tadashi said, "The Zhongtong family is gone."

Fujiwara Yoricho snorted and said, "Where else can we go? If we don't want to go with us, he has an amnesty order from the King of Liaodong, so why take the risk?"

Everyone condemned Fujiwara Tadatsu one after another, and some even suggested that Fujiwara Tadatsu's family be captured.

Fujiwara Shitong sighed, and said: "It's fine if the Zhongtong family doesn't leave, in case... Zhongtong can also continue our Fujiwara family."

Hearing what Fujiwara Shitong said, the others fell silent immediately, after all, the path they chose was also very risky.

Fujiwara Nagami's eyes moved slightly, then he bowed deeply to Fujiwara Shitsutsu, and said, "Uncle, I want to stay too."

Fujiwara Nagami's reputation is very good, he is a clean and honest official, and is widely loved. Therefore, he has the confidence to step down from the public trial.

Others wanted to condemn Fujiwara Nagami's traitorous behavior, but they were stopped by Fujiwara Shitotsu.

Fujiwara Shitong patted Fujiwara Nagami on the shoulder, and said: "The people left by the Fujiwara family are all taken care of by you and Zhongtong."

Nagami Fujiwara bowed again to Shitsutsu Fujiwara and said, "Yes."

Fujiwara Nagami's wife, Minakatako, led her two sons out of the crowd, and then came to stand beside her husband. The couple watched as the core members of the Fujiwara clan headed for the south gate under the escort of thousands of samurai ——In Nancheng, there is a secret road dug by Mr. Fujiwara 200 years ago. That secret road leads directly to a manor outside the city, and there are thousands of good horses in that manor all the time.

Therefore, if there is only one family that can safely escape Heian-kyo tonight, then that family must be the Fujiwara family!
