Tian Guangcheng assessment room.

At this time, the old Kondo Yoshitsuna of the Katayama family was sitting in the middle of the assessment room in the traditional samurai ceremony, and the samurai of the Umedo family were located on both sides of the assessment room according to their rank, and opposite him was the head of the Umedo family, Ume Takahiro. However, at this time, Ume Takahiro sat opposite Kondo Yoshitsuna in a posture that had always been extremely rude. In the past, Kondo Yoshitsuna would have been furious, but now when he thinks of the danger of the Katayama family, Kondo Yoshitsuna has to suppress the anger and shame in his heart.

"Mamoru Sado came to my Umedo family this time, I don't know what happened?" Ume to ask Kondo Yoshitsuna in an extremely contemptuous tone, after all, when he was in the Katayama family before, he was not less bullied by the important ministers of the Katayama family. Of course, I won't let go of such a good opportunity to be ashamed at this moment.

"Your Royal Highness Gao Guang, my lord has come down this time to discuss important matters." Kondo Yoshitsuna took a deep breath, secretly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly.

"O, Mamoru Sado, I wonder if Katayama-sama has anything to discuss with the main hall?" Umeto Takahiro asked a little nonchalantly.

"Your Highness Gaoguang, my lord hopes to form an alliance with the Umedo family to deal with the Xinjin family together." Kondo Yoshitsuna directly stated the purpose of his mission to the Umedo family.

"Presumptuous." Ume Takahiro was suddenly furious after hearing Kondo Yoshitsuna's intention, and he stood up suddenly and continued. "The Katayama family is the enemy of my Umedo family. The father and brother of the main hall both died at the hands of the Katayama family more than ten years ago. It's already good that the main hall doesn't form an alliance with the Shintsu family, so how can it form an alliance with the Katayama family to deal with the Shintsu family together. If Mamoru Sado doesn't have anything else to do, then you can go. ”

The atmosphere in the assessment room of the Umedo family, which was originally quite peaceful, suddenly became a little tense because of Umeto Takahiro's sudden anger. Kondo Yoshitsuna was not intimidated by Umeto Takahiro's might, and suddenly he let out a burst of laughter. "Hahaha."

"What does Mamoru Sado mean by this? Are you insulting me? Ume Takahiro saw that Kondo Yoshitsuna was not overwhelmed by his momentum, but laughed loudly, and he suddenly became a little annoyed and angry.

"Under is Xiao, His Royal Highness Gao Guang has just restored the Mei family's business, but he will soon be going to hand it over to someone else." Kondo Yoshitsuna said loudly without fear of the might of Takahiro Umeto.

Umeto Takahiro, who was originally furious, calmed down after listening to Kondo Yoshitsuna's words, and said after he redone. "I wonder why Mamoru Sado said that?"

Kondo Yoshizuna secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Umeto Takahiro would ignore it. Kondo Yoshitsuna then admonished Ume Takahiro. "The Xinjin family has always had the ambition of being a member of Mu County. This time, the strength of the Shintsu family and the Matsugami family increased greatly after the alliance. My Katayama family has suffered one disaster after another, and under this dissipation, it is no longer the opponent of the Shinjin family, if the Umedo family does not form an alliance with the main family. So after the Shintsu family annexes the Katayama family, how will the Umedo family deal with themselves? ”

Umeto Takahiro was able to restore the Umedo family business by himself, and he himself was not an ordinary person. Previously, he was angry on the one hand because of a deep grudge with the Katayama family, and on the other hand, it was also to suppress Kondo Noritsuna in the next negotiations. At this time, he saw that Kondo Yoshitsuna was not affected by his momentum, and his mind knew that his goal could not be achieved. Umeto Takahiro had to laugh. "Hahaha, Mamoru Sado is worthy of being the minister of the humerus of the Katayama family. Well, Katayama-sama's mind is already known to the main hall. However, you and I have been grudges for a long time, and I don't know how the Katayama family is going to win the trust of this hall. ”

Kondo Yoshitsuna saw that Takahiro Umedo was no longer embarrassed, but went straight to the point, and he was also overjoyed. He said hurriedly. "Gao Guang people, please rest assured, my father-in-law has recently adopted the third brother Xinguang as a child to inherit the Katayama family business. If the people of Gao are willing to form an alliance with the family to fight against the Shinjin family, the family is willing to take the people of the letter to win the trust of the Ume family. ”

Umeto Takahiro saw that the Katayama family was willing to take the young master as a hostage, and immediately said. "In this way, you and I will be allies. It's just that I don't know how the Katayama family is going to deal with the Shinjin family. ”

Kondo Yoshitsuna saw that Ume Takahiro agreed to an alliance between the two families, and the big stone fell early in his heart. At this time, seeing that Ume Togaohiro asked for advice, he said confidently. "People don't have to worry. Originally, the young master of the Matsugami family was hostage to the Xinjin family, and we still had some trouble dealing with the Xinjin family. However, the Shintsu family is pregnant because their daughter Yui, who is also the main room of the young head of the Matsugami family, and it may also be because the two families have established a covenant and sent the young master of the Matsugami family and Yui back to the Matsugami family a few days ago. Now only the two of us suddenly sent troops to attack the Xinjin family while they were unprepared, and presumably the Matsugami family will have nothing to say when it arrives. At that time, you and I can divide the territory of the Xinjin family equally. ”

Ume Takahiro didn't have much confidence in capturing the Shinzu family, after all, the strength of the two alliances of Shinjin and Matsugami was enough to dominate the Mugun. Now, when he heard Kondo Yoshitsuna's plan, his confidence suddenly increased. He hurriedly asked. "Then I don't know when you and I will send troops to the Xinjin family?"

Kondo Yoshitsuna replied. "Gao Guangren, my family master thinks that he can send troops after half a month, I don't know what Gao Guang's people want?"

Umeto Takahiro thought about it in his heart and thought that half a month was enough for him to prepare his arms for war, so he immediately said. "Okay, then send troops to capture the Xinjin family in half a month." ......

Next, after Kondo Yoshitsuna and Umeto Takahiro reached an agreement on the specific transfer of hostages and the dispatch of troops, he hurried back to Ashiki Castle to report to Katayama Nobuho. Ume Takahiro and the others Kondo Yoshitsuna said to themselves after leaving. "I wonder if it's right or wrong for the main family to form an alliance with the Katayama family?"

Umedo Takamune knew why the lord was worried, and the strength of the Katayama family was higher than that of the Umedo family. Now that the alliance between the main family and the Katayama family is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, but they have to do it. He said to Umeto Takahiro. "My lord, the Xinjin family has the ambition of being a member of Mu County. An alliance between the Honke family and the Katayama family was inevitable. Otherwise, Katayama and the Umedo family would not be able to survive forever. However, if the Shinjin family is a wolf, then the Katayama family is a tiger. For the Katayama family, I have to guard against it. ”

Seeing that Umedo Takahiro's words hit the nail on the head, he immediately asked. "What Gaozong said is very much in my heart, and I really have to help and guard against the Katayama family. Gaozong, do you have any way to make your family invincible? ”

"This ......," Umedo Takatsune said after thinking about it, and said to Umedo Takahiro. The lord can't think of a specific response plan in the next moment. However, the main purpose of this family's dispatch of troops this time is to weaken the strength of Katayama and Xinjin. As for the matter of carving up the Xinjin family, if you can, of course this family can't miss it. If the timing is really wrong, the family has to be able to divide the Xinjin family but also protect it. In addition, the Katayama family is thin, and the hostages sent by the Katayama family must be held in their hands, so that the family can be invincible. ”

"Okay, just as you say." Ume to Takahiro listened to Ume Takamune's opinion, and his heart was settled. ......
