"Katsusuke, are you all here?" Twenty-eight people gathered in a house in Takayama Castle, and the leader was none other than the Takayama clan.

"Back to the lord, except for the two who died in battle, all of them are here!" Katsusuke Tanaka was the only samurai retainer in the clan, and the others were all peasant soldiers within the clan's domain.

Katsusuke Tanaka was originally a ronin who was hired by merchants as a guard commander, and in these troubled times, there will always be some samurai who have no ambition or whose family name has been destroyed have to work for some wealthy people in order to make a living. Although such work will be shamed by others, there is nothing to do for the sake of livelihood.

But if one day, if they have the opportunity to become a martial artist again, even if they are just low-level samurai who have no job and are lowly, they will not hesitate to give up their jobs in exchange for the slightest hope of reviving their family name.

"Very good, let me tell you one thing first, I decided to take refuge in the Hosokawa family!" As soon as the Gao Shan Clan Sect said this, it immediately exploded like a frying pan, this is a big event. In the hearts of the local Hida people, the sister Xiaolu family is the soil emperor of the Hida country, which is unshakable.

"Silence! Listen to the lord continue! "Katsusuke Tanaka was a little excited, he was not like these farmers who had never seen the world, how to say that he had also traveled for a while, and knew that the sister Xiaolu family was at best a small name of ten thousand stones, and the Hosokawa family was a million-dollar name.

"Well, tonight, I will open the gate to welcome the Hosokawa army into the city, and I hope you can help me." The Takayama clan secretly sighed in his heart that the pattern of these people was so small, and he couldn't help but regret that he couldn't go out back then, and it seemed that it was a wise decision to join the Hosokawa family now.

"It's... This... My lord, just a few of us? One of them stammered, "It's impossible."

"Of course, Mino's Takenaka half-guards can capture Inabayama Castle with seven people, so why can't we? Moreover, we are four times as many as him. The Gaoshan Clan Sect said with some dissatisfaction, looking at their timid expressions, he knew that if he didn't convince them, he probably wouldn't do his best.

"But... But..."Everyone, look at me, I look at you, that being said, no one wants to touch eggs and stones, after all, only Takenaka Hanbei is famous."

"You don't have to worry too much, we won't open the main gate, we won't go to the sister road. I know that there is a secret passage in Honmaru that leads to a hidden mountain road behind the mountain, and we just need to open that secret passage and let the Hosokawa army in. After the deed is completed, each person will be rewarded with 20 yuan! "The Gaoshan Clan Sect has increased again, this time it is really bleeding, these are all the savings of his Gaoshan family.

“2… 20 dollars! OMG! When the peasants and soldiers heard this, they were immediately excited, and it would be good for them to get at most 2 times a year. What is the concept of 20 years, get rich overnight, and a family of three will eat and drink without worrying in 20 years.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with so much money, you won't have to be poor in the future, don't you thank your lord!" Katsusuke Tanaka added fuel to the fire, causing everyone to thank their lord again and again.

"But... My lord, how did you know that Honmaru had a secret passage? Won't Sister Xiaolu's family send heavy troops to guard it? Suddenly, a discordant voice came again, and suddenly it woke everyone up like cold water. Yes, this money has to be spent.

"Bastard! Are you questioning the lord! You! Katsusuke Yamada reprimanded angrily, so frightened that the peasant soldier repeatedly said that he didn't dare.

"Katsusuke..."The Takayama clan spoke out to dissuade Tanaka Katsusuke, and now it is not easy to oppress them too much, otherwise it is easy to cause rebellion.

"Yes, the subordinates are here." Katsusuke Tanaka bowed deeply and respectfully prepared to listen to the teachings of his lord.

"Let me tell you the truth, I am actually the heir of the Duke of Gaiji, the true master of this mountain city!" The Gaoshan clan straightened his clothes and said solemnly.

"What... What the! Lord, you are... Even Katsusuke Tanaka heard it for the first time, his eyes widened, and the others were even more shocked and speechless.

Orthodoxy is still somewhat useful in these troubled times, upholding justice can be supported by the majority of people.

"The subordinates are willing to help the lord regain the family business! Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up! Katsusuke Tanaka touched his head to the ground and bowed down.

"The villain is also willing to help the lord!" "The villain too!" Just now, there was still some reason in everyone's hearts, but now that they have become messengers of justice in an instant, they all rightfully support the Gaoshan Clan.

"Good! When it's ugly tonight, we'll act! "The Gaoshan Clan Sect is also extremely excited at the moment, it has been undercover for more than ten years, and it is going to be broken today.

Rustle... Kyoto prepared for a midnight march and came to the back mountainside of Takayama Castle.

"Is this it?" Haruyuki Hosokawa asked Uchijima on the side.

"It should be, my subordinates aren't sure." Unejima didn't know where the secret passage was, only an approximate location.

"It seems... We just had to wait. Haruyuki Hosokawa looked at the night, and there was still some distance from the agreed time.

At this time, in Takayama Castle, the Takayama clan and his party came lightly outside the Honmaru, hid next to a house, and peeked at the gate of the Honmaru.

All they had to do now was to try to get into the Honmaru first, and then to a corner at the back of the castle tower, where the secret passage was.

"Whew..."The Takayama clan patted his face, which was already slightly stiff, and then put on a frightened face.

"No... Oh no! Gao Bayin suddenly appeared, and the Gao Shan clan ran to the gate in a panic, and the subordinates behind him were also bluffing all the way.

"Open the door! Open the door! If there is an emergency, report it to the lord! "Smack! Syllable! Syllable! The Gaoshan Clan Sect banged on the door frantically, and his heart was already too nervous to do anything.

"What people!" There was a samurai's drunkenness inside, what a moth was making in the middle of the night.

"In the Shimotakayama Clan, it's Miki-sama inside!" Hearing the voice of the response inside, it should be Miki Kunitsuna, a close minister of Sister Koji Yoritsuna.

With a creak, a crack opened in the door, and the people inside looked out and saw the Gaoshan clan and his party.

"It's Takayama-sama, what are you doing here late at night? If there is no urgent matter and disturbs the rest of the lord, can you afford it? Also, what are you doing with so many people? Miki Kunitsuna reprimanded unceremoniously, he was used to being powerful.

"Yes, yes, yes, but my subordinates really have something important to tell the lord, and this is a matter of the safety of my family." As he spoke, the Takayama clan approached the crack in the door and whispered something.

"What do you say? Be louder, I can't hear it. Miki Kunitsuna couldn't help but open the crack in the door a little wider, so that he could lean over and listen to what the Takayama clan had to say.

"Do it!" Seeing that it was too late, the Takayama clan immediately slammed open the gate and stabbed Miki Kunitsuna into the lower abdomen, and the people behind also rushed up and rushed in...
