"Foreign Minister Asano Nagamasa! See the main hall of Changzong and my department! "In Gangfeng City, an uninvited guest was ushered in.

"Is there anything you are doing here?" The head of Changzong and my department sat on the main seat, full of spirit.

Just last year, the head of the family indulged in wine, and the old man Zongshan was hated for many admonitions, and was finally convicted. As soon as this incident came out, it was immediately dissatisfied with the retainers, and he was exiled by his thirteen-year-old son-in-law, Ichijo, who succeeded to the position of governor of the Tosa Ichijo family.

Subsequently, despite the opposition of the ministers and the bitter persuasion of the second brother Kira's relatives, "this move will be punished by heaven", he still sent troops to seize the territory of the Ichijo family.

And the poor Ichijo Interior was played by Motojin as Tosa Kuniji, and the Otsu Imperial Palace, who lived in Otsu Castle in Nagaoka Prefecture, became the puppet of Motokin.

"My lord heard that His Royal Highness is wise and decisive, and he has been friends for a long time, and the princess of your family is also smart and cute, I hope to tie the knot with your family and conspire for great things!" Asano Nagamasa turned out to be here to propose.

"Oh? That's it..."The head relatives of the Changzong and my department began to consider whether it would be good for them.

"My lord said that with Osaka Bay as the boundary, the place attacked will return to your family in the west and your family in the east, relying on each other and making profits together! And the object of the marriage is the young master of my family, the heir of the future Yuchai family! Asano Nagamasa increased again, the young master in his mouth was the newborn of Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was only three years old Ishimatsumaru.

"In other words, you want the family to cooperate with you and oppose the Hosokawa family, right? Hmph, you want to use me as a gunman? Dream! "Changzong and my head relatives frowned, shouted angrily, and all the retainers on both sides also pressed their swords and glared angrily, and they would be killed on the spot if they disagreed.

"Changzong and my main hall, you misunderstood, this family is sincerely married, and it is also to save your family, I can't bear your family to be blinded, so I sent foreign ministers here." Asano Nagamasa was calm and composed, and when he came, the military advisor Takenaka and half of the guards gave him a good explanation.

"What do you mean!" Sure enough, this trick has been tried and tested repeatedly, and the head of the Changzong Sect asked with a displeased face.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, where does your Yuan character come from?" Asano Nagamasa began to pull Motokin's train of thought, which was a technique of verbal suggestion.

"This is the partiality given by His Royal Highness the Governor back then!" Changzong and my Yuan relatives straightened their waists, and the word "Yuan" was granted by Hosokawa Harumoto.

"Oh, it turned out to be the partiality of His Royal Highness Tosa's guardian and leader, what a gratifying congratulations!" Asano Nagamasa is yin and yang, and he doesn't mean to congratulate at all.

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Changzong and my relatives gradually lost their patience, and there seemed to be something wrong with the other party's speech just now? Oh, it seems that Hosokawa Harumoto's shogunate position was deliberately reversed. According to the rules, it should be said that the big is big first and then the small, that is, the leader should be said first and then he is guarded. Well? Guard? Tosa Guardian?

Changzong and my ancestor are also smart people, as if they thought of something, they began to bow their heads and ponder. This Asano Nagamasa didn't mention Harumoto's other guardian duties such as Settsu and Tanba, but only said this Tosa guardian, which obviously meant something.

"Presumably, Your Highness, you have also figured it out, the Hosokawa Kyozhao family has always held the position of hereditary guardian of Settsu, Tanba, and Tosa. Now that he Hosokawa Nobumoto has recaptured the two countries of Settsu and Tamba, is there only one Tosa missing? And what is his intention to secretly control Sanuki Province and support the Awa Hosokawa family? Your Highness, have you forgotten what happened to the Hatano clan? Do you want to give it up to the country? "Every word of Asano Nagamasa hit the heart of the head of the Nagazong family.

"Nope! You can't! "Chosamune's head roared in his heart, he opened up the largest territory in the history of his family, and he was about to unify Tosa Province, and he wanted to leave it to future generations and go down in history.

"I heard that three years ago, your younger brother went out to recuperate by boat, and while passing through the river below Kaibe Castle, he was attacked and killed by the Awahao clan Umibe Yumitsu. And last year, the Awa Hosokawa family was in power again, and this Umibe Tomomitsu was ordered to retire because he had helped Miyoshi Yoshitsugu fight against the Hosokawa family, and passed the position of family governor to Umibe Yoshikiyo. Saying that, Asano Nagamasa peeked at the head of the long sect and found that there was nothing abnormal, and secretly said that this head family is really hard-hearted.

"Hmm... I'm thinking about it..."Chozong's head of the department frowned, this is an excuse, in the name of finding out the murderer, to attack the Kaibe County of Awa Province. In this way, on the surface, he is not an enemy of the Hosokawa family, but he just captures the murderer, and because of the opposition of the last position, the Kaibe family is not popular in the Awa Hosokawa family, and it is a member of the excluded.

Island Qinyi, the fourth brother who died from the original parent, is actually the illegitimate son of his father's country, and he has no status in the family. From the fact that he has been dead for so many years, and several brothers such as Yuan Qin have no idea of avenging him, it can be seen how unpopular this illegitimate son is. You must know that no matter what you say, you are also half-brothers with Yuanqin, and Yushiba Hidenaga, who died a while ago, is the half-brother of Yushiba Hideyoshi, and the importance between this is simply a huge contrast.

But now it's different, the island kin, who has been dead for several years, is finally remembered, and he can do his part for the Changzong family.

"Good! I agree to marry your family, but the little girl is still too young, so how about sending it to your family in a few years? "Changzong and my relatives decided to marry for the time being, but people can't hand it over first. If the Yuchai family wins in the future, it will naturally be an appointment, and the two families will tie the knot. If the Yuchai family is defeated, then this cake will be useless, and the marriage contract will naturally not be counted.

"It's... But how can the minister go back and reply to my lord? Asano Nagamasa didn't expect this guy to be so difficult, and the standard no rabbit and no eagle gave him such a blank check that could be broken at any time.

"In this way, I am determined to avenge my fourth brother! Raise troops to crusade against the Haibu family and ask for a murderer! This can be regarded as the first step taken by the main family and the Hosokawa family in confrontation. "Nagazong's head family smiled slyly, he decided to test the reaction of the Hosokawa family first, if he ignored it, he would take the opportunity to swallow Haibe County, if the reaction was fierce, he would temporarily admit his mistake and suspend the army, and observe the future situation. Anyway, the teacher is famous, and he can't be punished excessively. At this time, he had already begun to have the ambition of unifying the four countries.

"It's... Okay..."Asano Nagamasa knew that it was already a great success to let Motoqin send troops to test, and this trip was not in vain. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, a samurai suddenly ran in from outside in a panic.

"My lord! Oh no! Ichijo Kanada has made a comeback, gathering more than 3,000 people from the old department, and has recaptured the area of Sumao and Kurimoto! Now they are preparing to cross the "Shimanto River" and attack Nakamura Castle, where Lord Kira is stationed! Please make a decision early! ”

This sudden change was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and even the relatives of the Changzong and my department were stunned for a while.
