May 21, 15th year of astronomy, Ishikawa Castle.

Due to the fall of Ishikawa Castle, Ishikawa Castle, which was previously a large city, was almost in ruins. Although it has been repaired, it still cannot restore the former appearance of Ishikawa Castle.

Looking at the devastated Ishikawa Castle in front of him, Togo Yoshisuke, the lord of Ishikawa Castle, felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

The Togo family has almost been wiped out since the death of Togo Yumatsu, but fortunately, because of Togo Yumatsu's son-in-law, Tsugawa Soji, the Togo family has finally risen and has new hope.

Seeing that the new starting point of his home city and the revival of the Togo family was destroyed by the "bandits" like this, Togo Yoshiyu's heart was dripping blood!

"Togo-sama, there is a visit from outside the castle tower from Abe-sama who calls himself Joyo of Naganiu Castle." In a room in Ishikawa Castle, Yoshisuke Togo, who was meditating, was interrupted by an ashigaru.

"Long Cow City City? Enta Abe? Togo Yoshiyu hurriedly said, "Yes, please." ”

"Hah!"

After a while, Abe Enta, who looked puzzled, entered the house.

"Enta Abe has seen Togo-sama!"

"Abe-sama doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat." Togo Yoshiyu said with a smile barely squeezed out.

Enta Abe didn't shirk either, and after sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Togo-sama, why did Ishikawa Castle become like this?" ”

"Hey!" Togo Yoshiyu sighed, "I was careless for a while, and I fell for the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, which really shamed my family!" As he spoke, Togo Yoshiyu looked distressed.

Enta Abe nodded, and then said with a smile, "Togo-sama, it's not the bandits who captured Ishikawa Castle!" ”

"Huh?" Togo Yoshisuke was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Does Lord Abe know something?" ”

"Not bad!" Abe Enta hurriedly nodded and said, "I have found out that it was not a bandit who attacked my family's territory before, but someone did it on purpose!" ”

"Who is it?" As soon as Abe's words fell, Togo Yoshiyu gritted his teeth and stood up directly, "Who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to attack the territory of his family!" "Togo Yoshisuke is really excited, has he finally found the object of venting after so many days of holding back his anger?

"There are all kinds of indications that it seems that the people who attacked the territory of the family before were the remnants of the countrymen in the Mutsu area, such as the Daikoji family and the Asa Yorishi family." As he spoke, Enta Abe explained the previous incident at Hatta Kozan and the situation of reporting the incident to Soji Tsugawa to Togo Yoshisuke.

After listening to Abe's flowers, Togo Yoshiyu clapped his hands suddenly, "Finally caught these people's feet!" Abe-sama had arrived at the right time, and now Yoshikawa-sama and his reinforcements had been stationed in the Mutsu area. Now that I know the true identities of these people, it's a good time to catch them all! ”

"Togo-sama is slow!" Enta Abe hurriedly persuaded Togo Yoshiyu, "My lord, imagine that there are a large number of bandits who attacked the territory of the family this time, and it is obvious that the Asa Rai Shi family or the Dakoji family alone will not be able to mobilize so many people, so I think that behind the Asa Yoshi family and others, there are other people." ”

"Abe-sama means to hold the troops for now, and wait until the rest of the people are found out before making plans?" Togo Yoshiyu pondered for a moment, then asked.

"Not bad!" Abe Enta nodded, and then continued, "And I have already informed the lord of this matter, and I believe that the lord will definitely make corresponding arrangements." If we act rashly, wouldn't it be troublesome if we disrupt the lord's deployment? ”

"Hmmm! What Abe-sama said is reasonable! After hearing this, Togo Yoshiyu also nodded thoughtfully, and then continued, "In that case, then we might as well prepare the troops under our command first, and then wait for the lord's order?" ”

"What Togo-sama said coincides with what I think!"

"Haha! Well, then let these bastards survive for a few more days! ”

........

As Enta Abe and Yoshisuke Togo said, Nozawa and Kuro have already begun to conduct a covert investigation in the Mutsu area.

After several days of careful deployment, the members of the Blue Coat Society really discovered some anomalies.

Ishikame Castle, the temporary residence of Nozawa and Kuro and others is here.

Nozawa and Kuro, who had just returned from outside, had not had time to sit down and take a good rest when a ninja from the Blue Coat Society walked in from outside.

"Katsuchiyo, what's the matter?" Looking at the right-hand man who appeared in front of him, Nozawa and Kuro endured the exhaustion of their bodies and said with a smile on their faces.

The ninja of the Blue Coat Society, who was called Katsuchiyo, hurriedly replied with a solemn face, "President! The villain is in charge of investigating the situation in the area around the Okusekan, and recently made a big discovery! ”

"The Big Discovery?" Nozawa and Kuro suddenly came to strength, "Let's talk about it!" ”

"Hah!"

"The villain has been lurking in the Okuse Pavilion for three days and three nights, and found that in recent days, the guard of the Okuse Pavilion, Oda Saburo, has repeatedly sent people out of the city, and the specific whereabouts are unknown, and the people sent out are all dressed in civilian clothes, and they act mysteriously, mostly at night!"

Not only that, but Odazaburo's family was also secretly sent out of the Okuse Pavilion by Oda Saburo. In the following opinion, Oda Saburo may be the target of our trip! Katsuchiyo said with an affirmative face.

"Rub!" Nozawa and Kuro immediately stood up from the ground, and then said loudly, "Arrest Oda Saburo immediately, and let the people of the fourth and fifth groups immediately pursue Oda Saburo's family, and be sure to bring them all back!" ”

"Made! The cold wind that caused me to blow in this Stone Turtle City for several days finally caught me! Nozawa and Kuro said with a relaxed face.

........

When Saburo Oda was caught by the members of the Blue Coat Society at the Okuse Pavilion, he was unusually calm, and he didn't seem surprised that he was caught.

"Saburo Oda, do you have anything to say?" Inside the Okusekan castle tower, Nozawa and Kuro said to Saburo Oda with frosty faces.

Saburo Oda looked up at Nozawa and Kuro, then lowered his head and said no more.

Nozawa and Kuro didn't say much about Odazaburo's hardness, but just sat in their seats and spent time with Oda Saburo.

Time passed slowly, and when two hours passed, Saburo Oda was a little puzzled, "This adult doesn't seem to be in a hurry?" ”

"Huh! You, the dying man, are not in a hurry, so what should I be anxious about? Nozawa and Kuro replied with a smile.

Oda Saburo was obviously taken aback by Nozawa and Kuro's words, but when he thought that his family had already been sent out, even if he didn't know why he was found out now, he didn't have any worries.

However, as if seeing what Oda Saburo was thinking, Nozawa and Kuro directly shattered Odazaburo's last illusion, "Of course, if your two sons and your mother are still so calm when they appear here, then I might be in a hurry.........
