"Wow!"

In the evening, a low vomiting suddenly came from a room in the mansion of the lord of the city lord in Jiuzhu County, Fenghouguo, Jiuzhou.

At this time, Yoshiki Otomo was wrapped in a thick bandage on his chest. His face was very bad and he looked very pale. His black eyes were rolling up and his cheeks were deeply sinking, as if they had become two black holes, his mouth was moving slightly, and he was breathing rapidly.

"Wow!"

"Quick, the lord vomited again."

At this moment, a close servant shouted nervously outside the tent, and another nervous footstep was heard outside the tent. Immediately afterwards, a close servant and a maid opened the tent and walked in quickly.

"Babe, why are you shouting?" Otomo Yoshiki scolded, but his teeth were clattering and his voice was low. His lips were spasming, and he felt saliva flowing out. He tried to raise his body with his left hand, but his right half seemed to have been rooted on the ground, which was very heavy. When he felt anxious, he suddenly felt something blocked in his chest and was about to vomit it out again.

"Wow!"

Otoyo Yoshiki vomited out for the third time. The thing seemed to be food, and it seemed to be black blood clots, and there was a sticky feeling on his left face.

"Don't shout, don't let others notice it. Don't talk." The faint voice made the bodyguard and maid running over even more frightened and embarrassed.

The arrow that Masarae shot him almost killed him now. The arrow shot directly into his ribs from behind. Because in order to speed up the escape, Ototo Yoshiki was not wearing armor, causing the arrow to penetrate almost directly half of his body. If Masarae had not had the distance of shooting at that time, Ototo Yoshiki would have been shot directly through his body.

If such injuries were treated immediately at that time, there might be some rescue. However, after rushing into Rijiu City, the Luo family almost rushed into the city. For safety reasons, Yukiki Kan had to grit his teeth and escape on his horse on his back. Because the treatment time was delayed, the wound was shaken by a large amount when he was riding a horse to escape from Rijiu City. Not long after returning to Kakumuli City, the wound behind him was infected. This was almost unsolvable for the current medical level. Even though the retainers of the Otomo family spent a lot of precious medicinal materials and secretly invited the best doctor in Fenghou in China, it was a miracle that Otomo Yoshimi was able to support it until now.

Now Otoyo Yoshiki knew that he had less time. He had to make the choice of the heir to the family when his mind was still awake.

Now there are three sons: Ototo Yoshijin and Ototo Harueee (Oituchi Yoshikazu) were both born to Ototo Yoshikazu's sister, and Shishimamaru was born to Yoshimamaru. As the legitimate son, Yoshimamaru naturally inherited the Ototo family governor. However, Yoshimamaru had hesitation in his heart a long time ago: the legitimate son Yoshimaru gradually seemed rough and greedy as he grew older, while the Mozi Shimamaru showed the potential of being virtuous and wise. This overly obvious contrast made him hesitate about the common sense that Yoshima inherited the family governor.

More importantly, both Otoyo Yizhen and Otoyo Harue have the bloodline of the Otoyo family. He was afraid that after his death, Yotoyo was controlled by Otoyo family and that the business of the Otoyo family for 20 generations was destroyed. After thinking about it, he still felt that giving up Yotoyo town and Harueyo, who also had Otoyo bloodline, was more suitable for the Otoyo family, and choosing the relatively simple background of Shimoshimaru is more suitable for the Otoyo family.

"Quick. Hurry... Go and invite a few adults to me... Come." Recently, he often had nightmares, dreaming that the wealthy families who were killed by him in the past came to find him. Today he suddenly felt frightened. He was really worried that he would not wake up. So he quickly ordered the maids and close servants who were busy cleaning him up next to the tatami to come and accept the last words.

Soon after receiving the notice, Saito Hatsumatsu, Kosai Yamatomoto, Tsukumi Misato, Taguchi Tsaruto, Usukiki's Skill, Irida Qunmatsu, Wakari Echumomoto and others quickly gathered in the ward of Otoyo Yoshiki.

Everyone felt sad when they saw that the family governor who had led them to almost capture the largest territory of the Otomo family was tortured by injuries and illness. Especially recently, rumors spread everywhere in the territory, and in order not to affect Yoshimi Otomo's condition, everyone had not told him the situation until now.

After letting the closest servants and maids retreat outdoors, the room was closed again. Ototo Yoshiki looked up weakly and glanced at the retainers kneeling in the room with difficulty.

"Everyone... summons you and others to come here to... determine the next... family governor." Otoyo Yoshiki said intermittently.

"Master?"

Although everyone was ready to accept Otoyo Yoshimiya's impending death, they couldn't help but feel sad when they suddenly saw their lord giving them last words.

"Everything...sits, I...is not dead yet."

Otomo Yoshiki immediately turned a stern face and scolded. At this time, his face suddenly became rosy, with a little rebirth. Seeing the lord scolding, everyone immediately calmed down.

"I want Shishimamaru to inherit the family governor. What do you think?" After everyone calmed down, Yoshiki Otomo took a breath and finally said.

"ah?"

The retainers inside immediately exclaimed.

"Lord, no, my family has always regarded the eldest son as the governor. Now it is not appropriate to depose the eldest son and establish the young boy." Saito Hatsumasa said immediately. The Kosai Yamatomasa, Tsukumi Mitsumi, Taguchi Tibetan Sato, and Usukiki's speed-taking all nodded and agreed.

"No, my subordinates think that the lord's move is a wise move. Shintaro (the nickname of Otoyoshi Town) is obviously not suitable to be the head of the family. However, Shinshima Maru is a wise and well-versed person, and is actually the best candidate for the family supervisor." At this time, Irida Senmaki, who is the father-in-law and teacher of Otoyoshi Town, suddenly agreed, and the leader of the Toyoshi Navy Army behind him, Wakamaki Echigo Mori immediately agreed.

Wakari Echumomoto was related to Shishimamaru's mother, and it was through his relationship that Shishimamaru's mother became the current mistress of the Otomo family. So it was not surprising that Wakari Echumomoto supported Shishimamaru.

On the contrary, Renda Shinmatsu suddenly supported Shimoshimaru, which surprised everyone. After all, as the father-in-law and teacher of Ototo Yoshi Town, he should support Ototo Yoshi Town. This is basically equivalent to betrayal of Ototo Yoshi Town. The culprit caused this result was Ototo Yoshi Town himself.

Before and after the Yuanfu, Otoyoshi Town officially called Otoyoshi Town, Otoyoshi's mother passed away, and then his father Otoyoshi Yoshiki married another wife. A series of blows made Otoyoshi's personality gradually become rough and cold as he grew up, and at the same time he became playful and even developed pathological hobbies (such as liking for expensive tea instruments and playing with his wife).

Because he often treated his wife roughly (that is, Minmae Irida's daughter), and even had a fierce conflict with Minmae Irida's daughter when he forced a robbery of his wife to play with him. Otoyoshi Jin even officially told his wife that he would divorce her after he inherited the family governor. Otoyoshi Jinmae was not a joke. According to Minmae Irida's daughter's understanding of him, he could really do such a thing in the future. So she immediately cried to her father about this.

Originally, because he was too close to Otoyoshi Town and had been together for too long and truly understood Otoyoshi Town's character, he became disgusted with Yotoshi Town from the bottom of his heart. Irida Kenmaki immediately made the decision to betray Otoyoshi Town, and then turned to Shishimamaru without hesitation. For this reason, he had reached an agreement with Shishimamaru's mother in private.

As Irida Ken-seok supported Ototo Yoshiki's deposed the eldest son and established the young master, the room immediately became chaotic. The retainers divided into two camps and quarreled with each other. During the quarrel, they even forgot to try to interrupt the retainers' quarrel several times.

"Wow!" Seeing that his voice was too weak, Yoshiki Otomo was unable to stop the quarrels of his retainers. In the quilt, he was so angry that he vomited blood again. Then he suddenly felt his whole body cold and his eyelids began to hang slowly without stopping.

"Did my life end like this? I don't accept it. My ambition!" At the moment when I was about to completely fall into darkness, Yoshiki Otomo cried unwillingly. At the same time, in a trance, he seemed to see the remaining ministers panic because they discovered his abnormality.

"Haha, even if you die, there are a lot of retainers who are nervous about me! I still control their life and death..."

In early March, the 18th year of Astronomy (1549). In the early March of the year, the 20th generation of the Otomo family, Yoshiki Otomo family, who was once regarded as the wise ruler by his retainers, passed away (almost one year earlier than the death in history).

Since there are second-level ranks in the room where he died, he was first seriously injured by Luo's Masayoshi and eventually became angry to death by quarrels from his retainers. Therefore, in history, this incident was called the "second-level rank collapse"

In history, the original "second-level collapse" was in February of the 19th year of Astronomy (1550). Otomo Yoshiki Takeshi Town to Beppu for a hot spring treatment, summoned the important officials Saito Homomasu, Kosai Yamato, Tsukumi Mizumasu, and Taguchi Tibetans to seek opinions on the issue of the establishment of Shishimamasu, and finally parted in dissatisfaction. At this time, Yoshiki had made up his mind to let Shishimamasu inherit the family governor. For the purpose of clearing the obstacles, he sent an envoy to summon the four people. Tsukumi and Taguchi felt that the situation was not good and were sick.

Pretending to be absent, Saito and Kosai were summoned to the scene and were killed by the assassin who was ambushed in advance by Yoshiki. Tsukumi and Taguchi, who received the news, knew that they would be attacked by the master's family soon, so they responded quickly: they counterattacked Yoshiki's Jue Castle, entered the museum from the back door, and killed Yoshiki's wife and Shikoshimaru between the second level. Yoshiki himself was severely injured between the Tong, which is known in history as the "second level collapse change". Then the inner city of the mansion fell into chaos. Yoshiki immediately raised an army from Beppu, and entered the mansion with Sakai Weijiao as the front drive. He accepted Yoshiki's last words in Jushiki and became the 21st generation of the Otomo family's governor.

At this time, in order to avoid being suspected of being born soon, Otoyo Yoshiki did not summon the Shimoshimaru and his son and second son, Kakuriki, who were still in the palace, to the house. At the same time, there were a few more retainers attending the meeting for the family supervision. More importantly, the legitimate son Otoyo Yoshiki was under house arrest as a hostage at this time.
