On the evening of November 4th, Amano Keide, who had not paid much attention to the abnormality of Wakae Castle in the afternoon, suddenly hurried to the castle tower of Yuqiuping. Yu Qiuping was kissing Imagawa Kaede on the bed, and ordered Ryuko and the guards not to disturb everyone. But Amano Jingde was unusually resolute, and he must ask to meet Yu Qiuping immediately.

"What's this about?" After hearing Longzi's report outside the door, Yu Qiuping straightened up very unhappily. Any man who is disturbed in this kind of thing and spoils the atmosphere is probably unpleasant. "Didn't you say don't bother?"

"Okay, Amano-sama is also a person who knows the importance of it, so there must be something important to come over in such a hurry." Kaede Imagawa grabbed the quilt and covered it over the skin of his fair skin. Because of the clouds and rain just now, her face was still slightly flushed, and there were some marks on her chest. However, at this moment, she patted Yu Qiuping's chest very sensibly, and persuaded in a low voice, "Hurry up and see Amano-sama, and I will compensate you well at night." ”

"But it's still so uncomfortable." Yu Qiuping turned over with a smile, got off Imagawa Kaede's body, and got dressed under her service, "I hope I can't help but lose my temper with him later." ”

"Alright, alright, you deceitful liar, don't make trouble." Imagawa Kaede grudged and pinched Yu Qiuping's waist fiercely, then lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and whispered in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "I promised you to use that posture at night." ”

As soon as the words came out, Imagawa Kaede lowered his head shyly, and Yu Qiuping suddenly smiled with some emotion. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Imagawa Kaede's hair, then got up with a smile and said, "Okay, wait for me to come back." ”

After Yu Qiuping walked quickly to the council hall, Amano Jingde had been waiting for a long time. As soon as he saw Yu Qiuping coming, he hurriedly took two steps forward - this was not like him who was always calm and calm. Even if the army formation under the city of Yinma always collapsed back then, Yu Qiuping had never seen Amano Jingde so flustered, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Your Highness, something is wrong." Tianye Jingde said bluntly to Yu Qiuping in a deep voice: "There is information about our fine work in the Miyoshi family, and it is very likely that there are a large number of ninjas from the Miyoshi family who are active in Ruojiang City!" Their goal is most likely to assassinate the eldest prince! The abnormal signs in Ruojiang City before were caused by a large number of Miyoshi ninja infiltrating. ”

"What?" Yu Qiuping was so shocked that he barely stood firm, "Then hurry up and send someone over to protect the victims!" ”

"I have ordered all the members of the crows stationed in Ruojiang City to go out to protect the eldest prince!" Tianye Jingde said coldly, "It's just that I don't understand how the ninjas of the Miyoshi family infiltrated into Ruojiang City in large numbers?" The raven is clearly spying around! Therefore, I suspect that there is a high probability that there is an internal response of the Miyoshi family in the Hatakeyama family, so that the ninja of the Miyoshi family entered Wakae City! ”

"So you want me to send an army over at once?" Yu Qiuping immediately felt his hairs stand on end, and layers of cold sweat suddenly oozed from his back, "Suppress the possible rebellion of the Hatakeyama family?" ”

"That's right." Amano Jingde said in a low voice, "Without further ado, Your Highness, please make a decision quickly!" ”

"The closest to Wakae Castle is the south side of Wakae Castle, the platoon of Yoshioka Katsumasa and Aoki Ichiki on the Yamato River defense line, and Fukushima Yasunari himself personally commanded the defense on the north bank of the Yamato River. They wanted to go to support Wakae Castle as the closest, but they were opposite Miyoshi's army in Takaya Castle. If it was really the Miyoshi family who secretly planned the assassination of the victims, it was very likely that the army would be sent to act. Yu Qiuping walked quickly to the map and tried to judge the situation, "The troops on the front line can't move"

"Then you can only let the water atoms go through." Yu Qiuping glanced at the map and immediately found the Water Atom Sutra Department that was a little far away from Ruojiang City, but the station was not adjacent to Miyoshi's house, "Order, immediately let Zijing lead his platoon to Ruojiang City to control the situation in the city!" But until the truth is found out, no action is allowed against the Hatakeyama family! At the same time, send someone to contact His Highness Hatakeyama and ask him what the situation is! ”

However, after Yu Qiuping gave the order, he shook his head, turned around and picked up his coat, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, I will personally take the guard company to go and ask His Highness Hatakeyama clearly, I don't believe that His Highness Hatakeyama would do such a thing, there must be some misunderstanding." ”

Soon after, in the city of Wakae.

It was already late at night, and Yu Qiuyan was in the dojo in Ruojiang City at the moment, reviewing the moves that Kentaro Taro Tami had taught him in the afternoon. And the guards sent by the Hatakeyama family such as Morita Evil Sho on the side were already very familiar with Yu Qiuyan and good friends, so they didn't mean to spy on him at all, but sat around the dojo and chatted. There were also two people who didn't know where to get a few bottles of sake, and they gathered around to drink and brag.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps around the dojo, and the tiles on the roof of the dojo also rattled slightly. The guards who were chatting didn't notice it at all, but Yu Qiuyan, who was holding his breath and concentrating, suddenly sensed the danger.

"Morita-sama!" Yu Qiuyan shouted in a deep voice towards Morita Evil Xiang, "Be on guard! There is a case! ”

Morita Evil Xiang was chatting with a few subordinates about interesting things in the past, and he didn't react at the first moment he heard Yu Qiuyan's shouting. However, at the moment when Yu Qiuyan shouted, the lights in the dojo were suddenly extinguished, the windows in all directions were suddenly broken, and a hole was broken in the roof, and dozens of masked black-clad ninjas poured in from all directions, holding knives to their necks before the guards could react. Only Morita Evil Xiang dodged a blow with his superb martial arts, and rushed to Yu Qiuyan's side with a rolling belt, pulled his sword out of its sheath, and leaned back to back in the middle of the dojo with Yuqiu Yan, looking at the attacker who suddenly appeared in shock.

"What people!" Morita Evil Xiang watched as more than a dozen of his men were all subdued by one blow, and scolded in shock and anger, "What are you doing here!" ”

However, those black-clothed men ignored Morita Evil Xiang's chanting, leaving a dozen people to control the dozen or so guards, and the remaining dozen or so walked coldly towards Yu Qiuyan and Morita Evil Sho.

Seeing that the person was not good, Morita was still a young man, and Vicious Xiang suddenly became in chaos. He took a few deep breaths, tried to calm himself down, and also judged the strength of friend and foe - he and Yu Qiuyan were not opponents of these dozen people at all. Morita swallowed with some difficulty, took off the scabbard pinned to his waist, and threw it aside. Then, he shouted to Yuqiu in a deep voice: "Yuqiu Gongzi! They're coming for you! Run! I'll cover you! ”

Almost at the same time as he yelled, Morita Sho's body slammed out. He is also one of the best players in the Hatakeyama family, especially known for his sword skills and body speed. He rushed towards the weakest part of the crowd, trying to open an exit for Yu Qiuyan to rush out.

However, to his surprise, just as he was about to slash at the ninja in front of him, the ninja suddenly made a gesture to retract his hand, and all the black-clothed ninjas who surrounded him immediately quickly pushed away, dodging Morita Sho's attack. And the dozen or so ninjas who had held him hostage also removed their knives from the necks of the guards. The guards immediately ran over as if they were running for their lives, rushed to the side of Yu Qiuyan and Morita Evil Sho, formed a circle, and each drew their swords out of their sheaths and began to be on guard.

"What does that mean?" Morita Sho was stunned for a moment, why did the attacker, who had almost succeeded, suddenly stop.

"These people don't seem to be in the know." The leader of the man in black whispered to his men, "Your Excellency has an order, not to fight with the people of the Hatakeyama family who are not hostile. ”

"What? What grown-up? What do you mean? Morita saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly asked.

"I'm a member of the Crows, and I've come to protect the eldest prince in the name of Lord Amano." The black-clothed man in the lead saluted Morita Evil Xiang and said in a low voice, "We received news that someone from the Miyoshi family might come to assassinate Prince Yuqiu, so we came. If you offend adults, don't blame you. ”

"Your Excellency's name? Are you really from the Yuqiu family? However, Morita Evil Xiang did not dare to be careless at this moment, but asked in a very cautious whisper.

"According to the rules of the crow, the name cannot be revealed. But there is no doubt that there are crows below, so adults don't have to worry. The man in black shook his head and replied in a low voice.

"I don't believe it! If you are from the Yuqiu family, what are you doing to our Hatakeyama family suddenly? Morita Evil Xiang's eyes rolled and he realized that the problem was wrong, "It's clear that you have to guard against the Miyoshi family, isn't it?" ”

"If you're not good at words, I'll just say it directly, don't blame Morita-sama." The black-clothed ninja was not polite, cleared his throat, and said unceremoniously in a deep voice: "We found that there are a large number of ninjas from the Miyoshi family who have evaded our ears and eyes, and it is very likely that someone from within the Hatakeyama family has taken over. Therefore, we suspect that the Hatakeyama family was also involved in the assassination of the eldest prince. ”

"You fart!" Morita Evil Xiang was instantly furious when he heard this, "Our Hatakeyama family has been famous for hundreds of years, how could we do such a bad thing!" ”

"His Royal Highness Morita is loyal and conscientious and worthy of the name of the Hatakeyama family, but it does not mean that everyone is worthy of it." The black-clothed ninja retorted coldly, "As long as the young master is likely to be in danger, we will rush to protect it." Since it was a misunderstanding, let's ask His Highness Morita to guard the young master with us. Soon, the Yuqiu family's troops will arrive, and the danger will be lifted. ”

At this moment, inside the castle tower of Wakae Castle.

"What do you say, there is a unit with torches approaching from the west, look at the flag is Chang Panbei?" Hatakeyama Takamasa was taken aback after getting the news, "I didn't receive any notice beforehand, what is the Yuqiu Ministry going to do?" ”

"Lord, the ambition of the wolf son of Yuqiu's reign is clearly revealed, that is, to defeat Ruojiang City and destroy our Hatakeyama family! Run away, lord! The castle tower is no longer safe! The important minister who was following Hatakeyama Takamasa's side, Yu Zuo, was nervous like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, "I said a long time ago that the Yuqiu Ministry will not really give up power to us!" Look, isn't this just a dagger! ”

"No way, Yuqiu Zhibu is not that kind of person." However, Hatakeyama Takamasa shook his head very resolutely, "Chang Panbei came suddenly, there must be something urgent that is too late to report, send someone to contact them and ask what the situation is?" ”

"Lord, how can there be such time! Let's get out of the castle tower! It's too dangerous! Seeing that Hatakeyama Takamasa refused to agree, Yuzo continued to persuade him bitterly.

"There are nearly 100 guards of my Hatakeyama family in the castle tower, and it is impermeable, where is the danger? Say no more! Hatakeyama snorted angrily, "Why don't you call someone to ask!" ”
