Uesugi Kenmasa, with a solemn face, sat on the chairman's side, looking at several middle-aged people with gray hair kneeling in front of him, but his hands were constantly playing with paper fans. These middle-aged people looked no different from ordinary mountain villagers, and their eyes were a little cloudy, but they just knelt and sat still, but their bodies constantly exuded a palpitating aura, and they didn't know how many lives had been stained in their hands.

"Your plan sounds good, but I remember that the ninja forces under Tsukahara Muryu are also very strong, right?

"Lord Guanling, as long as we can grasp the exact whereabouts of Tsukahara Molong, we are willing to use the head of the head to guarantee that we will be able to leave him in the mountains of Ueno!" A middle-aged man at the head said respectfully.

Uesugi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Listen to you, you still can't grasp the exact whereabouts of Tsukahara Moryū? ”

"Nagao Jinghu arranged for Nagao Masakai to escort Tsukahara Molong all the way, this matter is well known, but according to our investigation, Tsukahara Molong is not in the army."

"Not in the army?" Uesugi Kenmasa was slightly stunned, let the army protect you and return alone? Isn't this looking for assassination? "Have you confirmed?"

"It's true, this is what Tsukahara Moryū said personally and Nagao Masaki, and it was discovered by the ninja we arranged. It's just that...... We are worried that this is just a false shot to distract us, and the real Tsukahara Ink Dragon is still in the army. The middle-aged man knelt down. With the ability of our ninjas, it is enough to concentrate all our strength to arrange a lore all the way, but if we want to take care of both, it is beyond our strength, after all, after the assassination of Kasuga Mountain Castle, it is impossible for Longtail Jinghu not to send the Xuanyuan ninjas to secretly protect Tsukahara Molong. ”

Uesugi Kenmasa looked unhappy, but he also knew that even with the background of the Uesugi family, it was impossible to deal with the Xuanyuan ninjas and the Tsukahara ninjas at the same time, and there was a danger of exposure if they were forcibly assassinated, so it would be impossible to steal chickens and rice. He knew that the ninjas would not dare to take this responsibility, so he pushed the choice of assassination route to himself. However, it is indeed a headache to choose where to arrange the assassination, Uesugi Kenmasa thought about it for a long time, or decided to choose to assassinate on the route of the army, use iron cannons and poisoned arrows to limit the scope of action of Tsukahara Molong, and then create a landslide to directly bury Tsukahara Molong alive, so that even if he misses, there is no evidence, if he sends someone to assassinate with real knives and guns, in case he stays alive, then the fun will be great, and his reputation as a Kanto leader will instantly stink on the street.

"Let's bury Tsukahara Moryū in the mountains of Ueno." Uesugi Kenmasa finally made up his mind, and several ninja leaders hurriedly nodded yes, but Uesugi Kenmasa didn't notice the fleeting joy in the eyes of several leaders when they bowed their heads.

Because Tsukahara Molong rewarded Kato Duanzo and treated the ninjas well, Tsukahara Molong has a high reputation in the ninja world. Everything is afraid of comparison, when Tsukahara Molong courtesy ninjas, give high-ranking officials and sincere respect, the common discrimination against ninjas in this era has become so unbearable in the eyes of ninjas, therefore, even the ninjas inherited in the era of the Uesugi family, in all fairness, do not want Tsukahara Molong to have any mistakes, but since he has chosen the profession of ninja, he must do things for his employer, Uesugi Ken wants to kill Tsukahara Molong, they have to carefully plan how to make Tsukahara Molong strong, no matter how reluctant they are. However, there is still a difference between working hard and doing everything in one's best, especially when the opponent is stronger than oneself. That's why they played this hand of responsibility transfer, Uesugi Kenmasa rose again because of the Xiaojin talks hosted by Tsukahara Moryū, it was the time of the spring breeze, the subordinates did not encounter difficulties, Uesugi Kenmasa couldn't help but want to intervene, and now when he encounters ** annoyance, Uesugi Kenmasa will not let go of this opportunity to show his wisdom and martial arts, so he will never say: "You check again, just look at it." "That's the kind of thing you say.

On the other side, Tsukahara Moryū did make a false shot, and when he explained that he was going to leave the army and return alone, he didn't let Nagao Masaki hold everyone back, and deliberately exposed his route, in order to mislead Uesugi Kenmasa, who was bent on killing him. Normal people's thinking must be that after being assassinated (especially Tsukahara Molong has experienced more than one assassination), there should be a very big wariness, there is no reason to set the secrecy of such an important matter as the return route so low, then it is easy to think that this is just a false trick, and the real Tsukahara Molong is still in the army. Taking advantage of this reverse thinking, Tsukahara Muryu ordered the army to return via Ueno Province while heading to Shinano under the personal escort of Kato Danzo.

At this time, Shinano was still in chaos, originally Murakami Yoshikiyo relied on the Battle of Toishi Castle to severely damage the Takeda army, which made the Murakami family's power in Shinano greatly increased, and almost drove the Takeda family back to Kai Province completely, but under the mediation of Sanada Yukitaka, Murakami Yoshikiyo gradually lost control of the wealthy family under his command, and the entire Murakami family seemed to dominate the side, but in fact, it was on the verge of collapse. Coupled with the fact that Murakami Yoshikiyo led 9,000 troops to Ueno Province to make peace with Uesugi Kensei, Shinano's defenses were even more empty, and Tsukahara Moryū easily passed through the territory of the Murakami family and came to Toishi Castle without much quiet.

The burly and sturdy Tsukahara Moryu came to the outside of Toishi Castle, smiled and untied his hat, and said gently to Ashigaru with a wary face: "I'm tired of going in and telling Kotaka that my old friend is visiting." ”

The four Ashigaru who were in charge of guarding glanced at each other, and a low-ranking samurai who looked like the head of the Ashigaru group pondered for a moment, and said to Tsukahara Moryū and his party: "A few of them look very human, but I am ordered here, please tell me my name, so that it can be easily communicated." "Sanada Yutaka's strategy against the sky has already attracted the attention of Murakami Yoshikiyo, so the samurai in charge of security do not dare to be careless, and need to know the situation carefully.

Tsukahara Molong smiled slightly, stopping Kato Duanzo, who was flashing with a cold light in his eyes, "In Shimotsukahara Molong." ”

Several ashigaru bodies trembled when they heard this, as if they had seen a ghost, but after looking at Tsukahara Moryu, they didn't feel anything terrible, and they couldn't help but wonder. The low-level samurai's legs were a little weak, he knew that the other party would not joke about this kind of thing, although the young samurai's temperament was very gentle, but judging from the calluses on his hands, he was definitely a master of using a sword. "It turned out to be Mo Longgong! Disrespectful! The small ones will report it. ”

Originally expelled from the territory, the destitute Sanada Yutaka obtained the 8,000-stone territory and became a general, and his life can be said to be much more nourishing. Of course, the coarse linen clothes that had been worn for many years were thrown away, and the house was carefully renovated, and even there were several sets of expensive tea sets, and Sanada Yukitaka, who had ruddy cheeks, was talking to a middle-aged man about thirty years old, and from time to time bursts of laughter, obviously having a good conversation.
