Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is autumn.

"Hey, that's boring." At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu sighed slightly in his heart while drinking and admiring Japanese juggling.

In fact, it is no wonder that no matter how much that person has been idle for a few months, he will always feel a little bored. Ever since Matsugami had redefined the powers of his retainers a few months earlier, he found himself in an awkward position within a few days. That is, when there is no conscription and emergencies from the lord, he has nothing to do.

In the final analysis, Matsugami Yoshimitsu's territory is too small, and there will be no situation after the retainers perform their duties. So Matsugami Yoshimitsu fell into the agony of happiness as a lord, and it was too boring. Fortunately, the castle town of Matsumoto Castle passed by Matsugami Yoshimitsu (the main work was done by retainers. A few months of operation and development have begun to take shape. In addition to the original residents and craftsmen, various livelihood workers such as jugglers, petty traders, and other service businesses gradually settled in the castle town of Matsumoto Castle. Today, Matsumoto Castle is a bit of a prosperous castle town. Matsugami Yoshimitsu doesn't get too bored when he spends his days wandering around the castle or finding a few jugglers to perform at Matsumoto Castle. Among them, Matsugami Yoshimitsu is most fascinated by Japanese juggling, the details of which are really difficult to describe, but it does have its own unique characteristics compared to other performance methods. Therefore, Matsugami Yoshimitsu would summon these performers to perform alone for him in Matsumoto Castle every few days, and today he summoned these people to perform juggling.

"Forget it, let's watch juggling with peace of mind." Matsugami Yoshimitsu refreshed his spirits a little and began to enjoy the wonderful Japanese juggling performances. For some reason, Matsugami Yoshimitsu used to appreciate this kind of juggling in the past, but he was not as fascinated as he is today. In a trance, Matsugami Yoshimitsu seemed to inadvertently see a black figure slashing at him with a knife. Matsugami Yoshimitsu was suddenly shocked, and he picked up the small table in front of him and smashed it at the black shadow. The black shadow didn't expect Matsugami Yoshimitsu to wake up from his addiction and find himself, but unexpectedly, the black shadow was hit by Matsugami Yoshimitsu and fell to the ground and showed his true body, which turned out to be a ninja dressed as a ninja. But in an instant, the ninja was gone.

"Ah......" The incident happened suddenly, and the maids and entertainers around the lightning and flint suddenly scattered and panicked. Matsugami Yoshimitsu himself was secretly frightened, picked up his katana and began to guard the surroundings. At this time, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't have time to think more about slashing behind him. Sure enough, it was the ninja who attacked him, but after a blow failed, the ninja disappeared again.

"My lord, my Changzheng is here." When Matsugami Yoshimitsu was fighting, Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who was stationed in the city, heard the news and immediately rushed over.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu was overjoyed when he saw that Yoshimasa Ryoki had rushed over. "Changzheng, quickly lead someone to capture this assassin alive."

"Hey." Yoshiki Nagamasa immediately led someone to protect Matsugami Yoshimitsu and began to search for the assassins. The ninja saw someone coming, assassinated Matsugami Yoshimitsu several times, and then disappeared.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu said with a sigh of relief when he felt that the ninja was gone. "The ninja is finally gone."

Ryoki Nagamasa suddenly knelt down and said at this time. "My lord, I didn't keep the assassin in my incompetence. Please punish the Lord. Matsugami Yoshimitsu was becoming more and more majestic, and although he didn't say anything, Yoshiki Nagamasa was also trembling in his heart, and immediately pleaded guilty.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu knew that this matter could not be blamed on Yoshiki Nagamasa, after all, ninjas were not something that ordinary people could deal with. He relieved Yoshiki Nagamasa. "This matter has nothing to do with you. However, you will have to search your territory to find the Assassin. In addition, you bring the master of the juggling class here, and the main hall will interrogate him personally. ”

"Haha." Yoshiki Nagamasa breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to carry out Matsugami Yoshimitsu's order. After a while, the owner of the juggling class was escorted over, an ordinary and treacherous middle-aged man from ancient Japan. He took advantage of the chaos just now, but he ran out, but he didn't expect to be arrested. As soon as he saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu at this time, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. "Your Highness, Your Highness. This assassin really has nothing to do with villains. ”

"Bastard, that assassin was brought in by your juggling squad. You still have nothing to do with you. Before Matsugami Yoshimitsu could say more, Yoshimitsu Yoshimasa next to him couldn't help but reprimand this juggling class master loudly, after all, if it was not good to defend Matsugami Yoshimitsu, it would be his responsibility.

"Changzheng, don't say much." Matsugami Yoshimitsu stopped what Yoshiki Nagamasa was about to say and asked the juggler master. "How did that assassin get into the juggling class?"

"This villain doesn't know either, and today I let that person into our team in a daze." The juggling master, who had been frightened, cried. Could it be that he fell for illusion, Matsugami Yoshimitsu secretly guessed in his heart. He saw that the class master couldn't ask the truth, so he said to Yoshiki Nagamasa. "Changzheng, you go to see the juggling class, all of them are imprisoned and waiting for the main hall to deal with them."

"Haha." Yoshiki Nagamasa quickly escorted the juggling master, who had collapsed into a ball.

In the afternoon, before Matsugami Yoshimitsu had recovered from his fright, he summoned his family, Saigo, to discuss the matter. Although he didn't have any clue about his assassination at the moment, Matsugami already had a vague sense that something was wrong.

"Guan Jiu, you must already know about the assassination of this hall, I don't know what you think about it?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not beat around the bush to Saigo Kanhisa, who was summoned by him, and directly expressed his doubts.

"Lord, there is some speculation about this matter, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Saigo said with some hesitation.

"It's okay to pour you for a long time, otherwise it will be difficult for the temple to sleep and eat." Matsugami Yoshimitsu was still a little scared when he remembered what happened in the morning.

"My lord, then you will be brave below. It is believed that there are three parties that are most likely to assassinate the lord. Saigo Kanjiu said slowly.

"Oh, I don't know which three parties?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu was also a little curious to hear that so many people might assassinate him. "My lord, one of them guesses that the assassin was sent by the Katayama family, after all, the good situation of the Katayama family in the last battle of the Shinjin Pavilion was destroyed by the lord alone. After all, the Katayama family hated the lord to the core, so they sent assassins to assassinate the family. Saigo replied.

"Well, it's a possibility. Go on. Matsugami nodded in agreement, and then motioned for Saigo to continue.

Saigo Kanhisa continued. "The second one who may have sent someone to assassinate the lord is the boss of the Matsugami family, Lord Ohno Hiranobu, who has always looked down on the new retainers. As a new retainer, the lord has made great achievements one after another, and it must be that Ohno Heinobu has a lot of grudge against the lord. ”

"Well, that's possible, too." With the grudge between himself and Ohno Hiranobu, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was not surprised that Ohno Hiranobu would send someone to assassinate him.

"As for this third party? In the next ......, "Saigo Kanjiu suddenly became a little slurred.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that Saigo Kanjiu was a little hesitant and hurriedly asked. "Who is the third party? You don't have to hide it for a long time. ”

Saigo Kanhisa seemed to be under a lot of pressure, but in the face of Matsugami Yoshimitsu's questioning, he finally gritted his teeth and said. "This third person who is most likely to send someone to assassinate the lord is considered to be the main hall."

"What? Are you saying that the Lord is righteous and righteous? Matsugami asked in disbelief.
