That night, the retainers of the Matsudaira family also did not care about resting, except for Sakai Tadaji because he saw that it was getting late and he was in Nishio Castle, so he decided to hand over tomorrow, and the rest of the people were divided into two roads, one although Suga Masakatsu went to Rokukuri Castle, and the other was to follow the Maeda Toshiya to the castles of the various wealthy clans to announce the news.

Rokuli Castle was temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the clan, and there would be no problems in the handover, but in Hatazu County, those wealthy families who had just been attached to the Oda family began to panic after seeing the sudden appearance of hundreds of Matsudaira family troops outside the castle, after all, just after the war, as long as there was a little wind and grass, they would all be soldiers, not to mention such a major event as changing the master.

They had never seen the Maeda Toshiya family, and they saw a large number of troops outside the castle, so they closed the gates one after another, and the head of the family personally led his retainers to the city wall to watch. This made Maeda Toshiya waste a lot of words.

At first, the retainers of the Matsudaira family thought that this was another ploy used by the Takayama clan, and they had already decided that the Takayama clan had already taken the lead and colluded with these wealthy clans, but when they saw the persuasion of the Maeda Toshiya and the powerful samurai opened the castle gate, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they also felt ashamed that they had such thoughts just now.

In the middle of the night, the clan slept soundly, because he knew that somewhere in this samurai mansion, Hatsune was secretly protecting himself.

At this moment, Hatsune was sitting on the beam, leaning against the pillar, and was drowsy, when she suddenly felt that the other end of the beam suddenly moved, Hatsune immediately fell asleep, staring there with wide eyes, and when she looked closely, she couldn't help but be shocked, although she still couldn't see clearly, but she could see that this person was lurking there.

Seeing this, Hatsune's heart tightened, that person obviously didn't just enter the samurai mansion, he was able to avoid his own detection, which showed that his ninjutsu was not low compared to himself. Hatsune suddenly panicked, but she saw that the ninja didn't seem to notice her, and she thought about Takayama-sama's safety, so she had to calm herself down immediately.

In the face of ninjas who may surpass their own strength, Hatsune didn't dare to make any sound, let alone shout loudly, she knew that as a ninja, if she was willing to fight to assassinate her, then even if she died, it would be difficult for her target to escape, Hatsune was not afraid of death, if it wasn't for the Oda Hall to take him in back then, then I'm afraid she would have died a long time ago.

What worries her most now is Takayama-sama on the couch, and it is clear that this ninja's target is him. Since he has the responsibility of protecting the safety of adults, he can't say anything to let him be hurt in the slightest.

Thinking that Takayama-sama's comfort was now in her own hands, Hatsune's heart actually began to calm down, and while she was engrossed in staring at the black shadow on the other side of the beam, she slowly and slowly reached into her arms, she was afraid of making a sound, so just this simple action, she was stunned that it took a stick of incense to complete.

And the ninja at the other end of the beam was Hattori Hanzo, who received the order from Matsudaira Motoyasu to assassinate the Takayama clan, and he had already wanted to assassinate him just now, but just as he got up and wanted to jump off the beam, he suddenly found that there was someone lurking there opposite. And the reason why he moved just now was purely for defense, and his hands were now inserted into his arms, staring intently at the black shadow opposite him.

Because Hattori Hanzo didn't know whether the other party was friend or foe, and seeing that the other party could appear unconsciously, he didn't dare to be careless, Hattori Hanzo couldn't help but think that if he was caught by the enemy, the future of the Matsudaira family would be a little worrying, even if he died here, he must not, that Watanabe Moritsuna had seen himself. Therefore, before he is absolutely sure, he will never make a move, even if he can't kill the Gaoshan Clan, he can still find an opportunity in the future, but he can't fall into their hands anyway. …,

But at this moment, the black shadow suddenly jumped high, and Hattori Hanzo felt that something was coming towards him, at this moment he already knew that the other party was friend or foe, while dodging, he grabbed four shuriken with both hands and threw them at the other party, poofing twice, Hattori Hanzo and Hatsune had already dodged, however, they still hit each other's shuriken. Fortunately, the place where the two of them were hit by the sword was not critical.

In the inner room of the samurai's mansion, Hatsune and Hattori Hanzo endured the pain from the wound and did not make any sound, but although this was the case, unfortunately, one of the shurikens shot by Hattori Hanzo just now hit the iron frame in the room, and when the two of them just landed, they only heard a loud sound of "dang".

Awakened by the sudden noise, he didn't get up, but rolled towards the wall, after the last assassination, the clan had learned wisely. As soon as he touched the wall, he shouted, "There are assassins"

As soon as the words fell, two ninjas who were responsible for protecting the lord's safety immediately rushed into the samurai's mansion. Hattori Hanzo saw that the matter had been revealed, and he had been injured, so he didn't continue to entangle with Hatsune, only to see him snatch a shuriken from his arms and shoot it towards the clan, and at the same time the person had already come out of the window.

"Be careful" Hatsune saw that it was impossible for the clan to dodge, so she pounced without hesitation, blocking the clan with her petite body. And the shuriken penetrated into her vest impartially, and the two ninjas who were responsible for protecting the safety of the clan also broke into the door at this moment.

"Hatsune, Hatsune...... You can't die, why are you still standing stupidly, go to the castle town and invite the best medicine man, you go and block the whole city, if you let you leave the city at this moment, for you is asking" The clan said while holding Hatsune in his arms at a loss.

Hatsune was already injured just now, and a lot of blood was shed, and now it was even more injured, only to see blood gushing out from her back and arm wounds, and the clan also tried to help her stop the bleeding first, but the wound on the arm was okay to deal with, but the injury on the back, he didn't know what to do.

I saw that the shuriken had all been submerged into her body, and the clan also knew that Lu Dao couldn't pull out the shuriken, so he had to tear open the futon in a panic and plug it on the wound.

Hatsune, who had lost too much blood, was already very weak, and she only heard her say intermittently: "Big... People, Hatsune... Never again... I guarded it beside adults..... My lord... You should definitely take care of yourself......"

"Hatsune, you must hold on, the pharmacist will be here soon." Now the clan is a little overwhelmed, so he can only say comfortingly.

"Your Excellency... Hatsune most... Big Wish... It's the wife of an adult... I can always accompany the left and right of adults... However, it seems that this... Wishes will never come true. Hatsune squeezed out the last trace of strength and told the secret that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Just when Hatsune was about to leave, I heard the clan roar like crazy: "No, I'll marry you now, and after you recover from your injuries, we will have a wedding, and we will have many, many children, Hatsune, you will be fine, and I will not allow you to have anything."

After hearing this, Hatsune used all her strength, smiled sweetly, and stopped talking.

The clan could feel that the body of Hatsune in his arms suddenly softened, and he couldn't help but shout: "Hatsune... I won't let you leave me......"

Honda Masanobu, who had already come to the inner room, couldn't help but feel a little sad when Watanabe Moritsuna saw the lord's sadness, and after hearing Watanabe Moritsuna's sigh, he opened his mouth to persuade: "Please also ask the lord to mourn." ”

"Mourn fart, why are you still here, why don't you go and catch the assassin for me." The clan raised his head, stared at Watanabe Moritsuna with his already red eyes, and then lowered his head again, looking intently at Hatsune in his arms. …,

Watanabe Moritsuna didn't move, his duty was to lead the elite cavalry and protect the lord's safety on the battlefield, and the lord's daily safety was not his responsibility, but now Yamauchi Kazutoyo was chasing the assassins, and the other two adults were not in Nishio Castle, if only Honda Masanobu, who didn't know martial arts, was left to guard the lord's side, he couldn't say anything at ease.

In the days since he had been served, the lord had already been assassinated twice, and now at a critical juncture, if the assassin still had his allies, if he had been assassinated again while he was leaving, he would not be able to make up for it.

However, he knew that the lord of the Dao was now sad, and if he spoke out, he would inevitably be blasted out of the samurai mansion, so he no longer spoke, but continued to stand in place, his eyes constantly swept around the inner room, and his right hand also tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and he was engrossed in guard.

The clan sat on the ground in a daze, holding Hatsune, who had gradually begun to stiffen, and did not move.

Soon after, the pharmacist finally came in a sweat, but he was directly blasted out by the clan, and after him, Sakai Tadaji also came, and the clan didn't give him a good face, if it weren't for the fact that the defense of Nishio Castle had not yet been handed over, the attitude of the clan towards the Matsudaira family would definitely put all the responsibility for his assassination and Hatsune's death on the Matsudaira family.

And Sakai Tadaji was secretly glad that he felt that it was too late and did not carry out the handover, otherwise, no matter how innocent the Matsudaira family was, it would not be able to get out of it. He thought again that this might be the bitter ploy of the clan envoy, and he wanted to stay in Xiwei City and not leave. But when he saw the haggard face of the clan, it didn't look like he was pretending.

But he didn't dare to decide, after all, the treachery of the Takayama clan was famous, and it was better to be careful, so Sakai Tadaji secretly decided in his heart to wait for the early tomorrow morning to carry out the defense handover with the Oda family, so as not to have any accidents.

He saw that the clan was sad at this time, and it was inconvenient for him to bother more, so he stayed for a while, and after expressing his condolences, he got up and left the .......
