West of Edo, Nishi-Ueno, in the castle of the Takeda clan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Takeda Shingen sat in the lobby, his face so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping water. Below him, stood a respectful young man.

"Juro, how much has the family's business been lost recently?"

"Sancheng!" The young man named Juro replied with a solemn face.

"Where's the manpower?"

"I.... We've lost the manpower we've planted in the streets..... Halfway! The young man spat out the words with difficulty.

Smack!

Takeda Shingen slapped the coffee table next to him, and the huge force hit the coffee table with a loud bang, the teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed and cracked into pieces.

Juro shuddered, cold sweat dripping from his head, he had never seen his father so angry. At this moment, Takeda Shingen was sitting there like this, exuding an indescribable majesty all over his body.

"Damn the Celestials!" Takeda Shingen's face darkened. He felt as if he had lured a wolf into the room.

A few years ago, as a result of the war, the Takeda clan, who were on a neutral stand, made a lot of money by selling strategic materials and other means. But the good times didn't last long, the shogunate united the heavenly people to exert pressure, and even the heavenly Dao people who saw the head and the end of the dragon took action!

Others don't know, but as the head of the Takeda clan, he won't not understand that the "scavenging crow", a samurai named Ryunosuke Kawabe, is obviously a lackey of the Heavenly Dao people!

Under the threat of the shogunate and the powerful force of the celestials, he chose to give in temporarily. After that, the situation in Nishi-Ueno really improved, the mixed underground organization was decreasing, and some of the family's business was restored.

However, since the opening of the first Celestial Shop, the situation has taken a turn for the worse!

Exquisite, practical, and cheap goods are emerging in an endless stream, and many traditional shops have been forced to close! It must be known that Nishi-Ueno and Edo are different, Edo has a large population, and power is not only in the hands of the shogunate, but also in the hands of those famous families, but Nishi-Umino is only in the hands of the Takeda clan!

This is a great convenience at other times, and all the materials, manpower, and industries, they can fully mobilize, place people, and then master.

Then, the shops closed, many people lost their jobs, the number of idle people on the streets increased, and the gang organization expanded. There was more bloodshed than there was before the arrival of the celestials!

What's more, the income of the Takeda family has decreased by 30%!

Famous family represents not only status, but also expenses. In such a dangerous situation, the strength of the Takeda clan was weakening, which could easily attract the covetousness of the shogunate and other organizations.

If this continues, I'm afraid that even the family's troops will not be able to sustain it!

This is a very red flag!

What a clever fool for a while! Takeda Shingen wanted to go to Edo. But he knew very well that not to mention those "advanced" celestials, even if it was the shogunate, it was not something that their family could deal with!

There is no other way but to compromise!

"Shiro, go and contact the Celestials, remember, avoid the people of the Open Mansion!" Takeda Shingen groaned for a moment and spoke.

"Yes, Father." Juro bowed down and prepared to leave.

"Wait, I'll do it myself!" Takeda Shingen stood up, sighed and said, "What an eventful season! ”

Shiro looked up at Takeda Shingen, his sideburns were slightly frosty, his body was a lot thinner, and his face was a little old.

He was a little stunned. Is the majestic father who ruled Nishiueno for an era also old?

.......

Edo, a quaint and quiet house.

Several masked people sat at the table, and the atmosphere was cold.

"What do you think?" An old voice sounded, and I don't know who opened it first.

"Anything that is unfavorable to the shogunate should be cleared!" A cold man's voice sounded, with a murderous intent, as if people could see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood behind him.

"No, the war has reached a critical moment, and the shogunate's forces are already very tight! You can't start a war against Nishiueno for the time being! The middle-aged man sitting at the top retorted.

A majestic face, an imposing appearance. This person turned out to be the thirteenth shogun of the shogunate, the current patriarch of the Tokugawa clan - Tokugawa Josada!

He is also the uncle of the future shogun Shigeru Tokugawa!

"Hehe, Tokugawa, don't forget your identity, you're just an agent pushed by our major forces." A shadowy voice came.

Tokugawa Dingding's face flashed with anger, but he didn't have an immediate attack because of something. As the shogun of the shogunate, he knew very well how much power these people here had in their hands.

That's right, the inheritance of the shogunate is in the hands of the Tokugawa clan, but the people who really control the shogunate behind the scenes are these guys with masks!

Heavenly Dao people!

The Twelve Heavenly Dao, these guys who have controlled the shogunate for decades, even centuries! No one knew their identities, and no one had seen their faces. Because, all who know the truth, are dead!

"So what do you say? The Celestials have already sent a message that they will mobilize a large army again, and the war is about to end! When the time comes, we will get a whole country! The old voice spoke, with a resolute, unquestioning tone.

"It's better to follow the old method and send the people of the Imperial Court to kill all the Takeda clans!" The cold voice sounded again, making people feel cold and swishing behind their backs.

"Then decide so! Tokugawa, I remember that there was a guy named Orea in the Imperial Garden, and it seems that he is still some of the strongest ninjas, so let's send him there! The old voice sounded, but with a look of disdain and arrogance.

The sound of clattering footsteps came and went, and then disappeared.

In the empty room, the shogun Tokugawa sat down at the table, his face cloudy and repeated for a while, and finally turned to determination.

"Someone! Inform Miteban, let Reya come and see me! ”

........

Nishi-Ueno, a residence somewhere.

A candle was lit in the dimly lit room, the candlelight was dim, and from the outside, you could see several figures standing in the shadows around it, which seemed a little mysterious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the latest news, the leader has ordered us to assist in the occupation of Nishiueno! The action time is four o'clock in the morning! A figure in the middle spoke, his voice low.

"It's finally time to do it!" The others whispered, but their excitement was evident in the words.

Yes, they've been lurking in Nishiueno for years, and today, the leader has finally ordered the capture of the city!

.......

Somewhere inside the castle, several Takeda clan guards gathered.

A black figure handed them something, and then whispered a few words in his ear. Several people nodded and left with strange expressions.

No one knew that Harita had planted a large number of people in Nishiueno and Edo a few years ago. Even, many of the current bloodshed in Nishiueno are directly or indirectly related to Harita's subordinates.

And at such an important moment, these people will deal a fatal blow to the Takeda clan!

The time is ripe!

........

Three o'clock in the morning.

In the wilderness, five miles away from the western Umino, the Blood Moon's large army had been assembled. Troops of nearly a thousand men silently lined up in columns, which looked a little eerie under the cover of the night.

They are soldiers who have come down from the battlefield, and their discipline and combat effectiveness are beyond doubt!

Harita stood at the front of the line, looking at the black city looming in the distance, and an astonishing killing intent suddenly burst out in his eyes!

"Attack!" He suddenly drew his katana and yelled in the direction of Nishi-Ueno.
