Fire oil, which is originally used for lighting, is expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it, only some people with status and status have some, and they are usually reluctant to use it.

The discovery of a large area of fire oil traps in the port of Kobe is very rare, and the investment of this capital alone is amazing, and it is certainly not something that ordinary wealthy families or even small daimyo can do.

Sanada Masayuki's face was heavy, he lowered his head and pondered, as the second military advisor of the Hosokawa family, of course he understood that the person behind this curtain must be a big force.

Who could it be? Maori home? No. Although the Maori family is the overlord of the Sanyo "Dao", it has been going downhill again in recent years, and has repeatedly lost to the Niko family, and even Iwami Silver Mountain has been lost, and the finances are already in short supply.

The person next to him looked at Sanada Masayuki nervously, cautiously not daring to come out, for fear of interrupting his train of thought.

"My lord! Sanada-sama? A discordant voice came, interrupting Sanada Masayuki's train of thought, and the rest of the people glared angrily, it was this Sasuke.

"Oh, it does seem like a trap, and you're doing a good job!" Sanada Masayuki nodded approvingly, and then said to Oto Yorita: "Go!" Let's explore the surrounding area again! Since there is fire, there must be arsonists! Get this group out of me! ”

"My lord! No need! The villain has already probed the perimeter and found no one! "It's this Sasuke again.

"You? Probed? Such a short period of time? Sanada Masayuki couldn't believe it, he just thought that this young man could be properly promoted, but now he started to talk big, which is really unpleasant.

"Yes! The subordinates had already probed around and climbed the tallest tree, but they didn't find anything. Sasuke pointed to the old tree at the head of the village, it was an old tree with a long history, and it was also the first tree that towered into the sky, and the people of Kobe Port revered it as the god of trees.

Sanada Masayuki looked up at the old tree, it was really tall, and his neck was about to cramp.

"You say... Can you climb up? Miyoshi Masakang felt that it was not only necessary to be able to climb trees, but also to have courage, so high estimates that his legs and stomachs were trembling.

"If the adults don't believe it, it's okay for the villain to go again!" As he spoke, Sasuke quickly rushed towards the old tree, climbed to the top with great vigor, and came to a difficult move of a monkey fishing for the moon.

After a while, he returned to the front of Sanada Masayuki, his breath was even, and his face was not red and sweaty.

"What's your name?" Sanada Masayuki felt that it was too condescending for this person to be a squad leader.

"The villain's name is Sasuke, and as for Miaoko... No! Sasuke was just about to report his identity, but suddenly remembered his master's warning and hid it.

"Sasuke... Sasuke... Swift, like an ape... From now on, you will be called Sarutobi Sasuke! Follow me in the future! "Sanada Masayuki admires this talent very much, and perhaps he should form a special team to carry out special tasks such as reconnaissance, intelligence, and raids.

"Yes!" Sarutobi kowtowed excitedly, he successfully took the first step, and couldn't help but think of the fire ten years ago, his own uncle, the enemy who killed his mother: Mikumo Nariji! And this enemy is under the command of Dinghai Bei's commander Pusheng Fuxiu!

"Sasuke, you said you couldn't see a single figure on that tree, did you?" Sanada Masayuki didn't notice Sarutobi's resentful expression because he kept his head down.

"Yes! No one in sight! Sarufei Sasuke replied respectfully, now he needs Taoguang to cultivate obscurity, he doesn't want to just kill Mikumo Chengzhi, he wants this person to ruin his reputation! Tragic death!

"Can't you see? Odd... If you can't see it... How do they know if our army has entered? Can not see? Where can you see this without being suspicious? Sanada muttered to himself, turning in circles, looking for the blind spot that had been missed.

"Huh? What is that? Sanada Masayuki frowned and looked at a flat castle less than a thousand meters in the distance.

"Hanakuma Castle? Political victory! Who is the Warden of Hanakuma Castle? Sanada Masayuki vaguely remembered the last rebellion, and the wealthy clan not only did not participate, but instead fell to the Hosokawa family.

"It's Ogawahara Guya!" Miyoshi Masakatsu also looked at Hanakuma Castle strangely, the reason why Hosokawa's army took this route was precisely because Hanakuma Castle and Takiyama Castle further north could serve as a barrier on the flank of the army and cover the movement of the troops well.

"Hmm... Let him come over for a moment. Sanada Masayuki waved his hand, and the whole army was on standby.

After a while, the wealthy family here came running over alone.

"Hehe... My lord! But do you need to prepare military rations? For the army? Taigahara smiled flatteringly.

"Huh? How can there be a smell of fire oil on the hands of adults? Sarutobi Sasuke leaned closer and sniffed, then suddenly spoke.

"You talk nonsense! I've never touched it with my hands! Dagawahara's face turned pale, and he tried his best to quibble.

"Huh? No? Touched by hand? "Boom, Ogawahara Guya became the focal point of his gaze.

"Uh... This... Uhh

"Humph! Take it for me! Torture! Sanada Masayuki waved his hand, and stepped forward to take him down.

"Drink!" Taigahara Goya immediately drew his sword and forced him back left and right, turned his head and ran towards Hanakuma Castle.

"Sure enough, there is a ghost in my heart! It doesn't look like it's peaceful here. Sanada Masayuki looked at the 100-meter sprint Ogawahara Guya and shook his head.

"Sasuke! Over to you! Sanada Masayuki looked at Ogawahara Guya, who had already run out hundreds of meters away.

"Yes!" With a whoosh, Sarutobi Sasuke flew out as if he were flying, overtaking his chasing companions and catching up with Ogawahara Guya. With a bang, he kicked Dahe Hara and gnawed the mud.

"Ahh Lord save me! Lord, save me! Ogawara Guya shouted desperately, only a few steps away from Hanakuma Castle.

With a bang, Sarutobi Sasuke quickly retreated, and quickly touched his body, but was not injured. But... Dahe Hara Gu Ya was blank in his eyes, and he was shot right in the center of his eyebrows.

Whoa... Sanada Masayuki also led Sakamoto to surround him at this time, and looked at the samurai who shot in the city, it turned out to be Araki Murashige.

"You're not dead?" Sanada Masayuki was also very surprised, the whereabouts of the heavy defeat of Araki Village were unknown, and he didn't expect to be here.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect it! I've been lurking here for years, and I've been waiting for you for years. It's a pity that you have seen through it. Pity... It's a pity. Arakimura looked at the dead Ogawara Guya again, but he had married his daughter to him, and he was able to take control of Hattabe Prefecture smoothly.

"Humph! Pity... You're going to die right away, too! Get ready to attack! Sanada Masayuki pulled out the sword at his waist and prepared to give the order to attack the castle.

"Wait! I have a hostage in my hands! If you dare to attack! I'll kill him! Araki Murashige simply showed his shield directly.

"Hostages?" Sanada Masayuki hesitated for a moment and did not immediately order the siege.

"You talk nonsense! How could you possibly have hostages on your hands! Miyoshi Masayasu came out and shouted, the heirs of the Hosokawa family are very well protected.

"Hahaha! Look whose knife it is! With a swoop, he threw a sword from inside the city.

"It's... Punch and cut! "When I took it and identified it, everyone recognized that this was the saber "pressure cut" of the lord Hosokawa Nobumoto!
