It was already dark, and some shops were closing early, except for some izakayas, and even Guo Jia's current sushi restaurant owner was slowly packing up and preparing to close. Snowflakes are starting to fall from the sky, and it shouldn't be long before Inabayama Castle is dressed in a new outfit.

"Guest, guest wake up." The boss shook Guo Jia helplessly, this person came to him to eat a lot of things, but because he gave him a bottle of sake, he couldn't keep it, the boss looked at the empty wine bottles next to Guo Jia and counted, and the person in front of him who was asleep drank nearly ten bottles.

"Yes." Guo Jia was disturbed by the boss and opened his eyes with difficulty.

"What time is it?" Guo Jia felt that his head was like being placed between two large stones that were constantly collapsing, and he was in pain to death.

"This guest, we're closing. Look at ......," the boss said with a smile on his face.

"Huh? It's getting dark? Guo Jia squinted his eyes and looked out the door, only to find that the sky was no longer as bright as in the evening. Snowflakes were falling in the sky. "Let's go back then."

Guo Jia realized that he had eaten too late, he stumbled up from a small stool, drank too much wine, and now he didn't even have a sense of balance, if it wasn't for the boss who helped Guo Jia, it is estimated that Guo Jia would fall backwards to the ground.

"Be careful, guest." The boss looked at Guo Jia's admonition slowly walking towards the door of the store, although this exhortation was useless, but it was a courtesy. After all, Guo Jia's dress is definitely not an ordinary person, and leaving a good impression on him may be able to open up more customers for his small store.

Guo Jia didn't pay attention to the man's advice, and staggered towards the Inabayama castle tower. The winter cold wind carried the snow all over the sky and slapped Guo Jia's face fiercely, and he was a little awake from the wine he drank at that time, at least he would no longer walk and stumble without balance. Inabayama Castle is very large, and Guo Jia strolls around where no one is around, singing wantonly. With his ghostly wolf-like voice, he can be regarded as coming to the gate of the Inabashan castle tower.

"Master Guo Jia." When the soldiers at the gate of the tower saw him, they bowed their heads and greeted him.

"Yes. I am back. Guo Jia snorted with wine in his mouth, and drunkenly greeted the soldiers.

"Eh, Master Guo Jia, why did you drink so much?" When the soldier heard Guo Jia's response, he hurriedly stepped forward to support the princess's husband, who was afraid that she would bump into it.

"Okay, I have a heart. Belch. Guo Jia smiled and looked at the soldier and burped.

"Master Guo Jia, the princess has been waiting for you for a long time." The soldier had completely forgotten about Takigawa Kazuki's visit in the evening.

Things went on for a while.

"Lord Guo Jia is not in the city tower at this time?" Takigawa Yiyi looked at these soldiers suspiciously, and frowned, "If Lord Guo Jia comes back, please tell him as soon as possible." Takigawa Kazuki has been here. ”

Takigawa Kazuki knew that these soldiers would never lie to him, because he was very familiar with Inabayama Castle, although the people there were the country of Shimokagami, they were definitely polite people, as for deceiving him, it was impossible.

"Well, shall we inform the princess of you?" A soldier saw Takigawa Kazuyi's face and asked tentatively.

"No need, just tell Master Guo Jia when he comes back." After Takikawa Yiyi finished speaking, he turned his head directly and went to the city to look for Guo Jia, the reason why he didn't tell Gui Die was because Gui Die had never seen or heard of Takigawa Yiyi, which was what Guo Jia told him before.

So Takigawa Yiyi entered the Inabayama city to look for Guo Jia's whereabouts, but at this time, Guo Jia was already eating happily in the corner of the sushi restaurant, and after looking for no result, Takigawa Yiyi left directly. Since you can't find it, it's better not to look for it, after all, Guo Jia will know about his coming here sooner or later.

Turn back in time.

"Master Guo Jia, I can't send you next. We can't go over there. The soldier who supported Guo Jia smiled helplessly, he had already sent Guo Jia a long way, and then up was the location of the main building, he was not qualified to approach, let alone enter.

"It's okay, thank you." Guo Jia patted the soldier's shoulder, tidied up his clothes again, and slowly walked up.

"Oh, yes!" The soldier suddenly remembered that Takigawa Kazuki was going to see Guo Jia in the afternoon, and hurriedly turned back, but the heavy snow and wind blew away his words, and he couldn't see Guo Jia's figure anymore. "Eh, forget it. Tell him tomorrow when Master Guo Jia comes down again. The soldier couldn't see Guo Jia sighing and walked directly to the gate of the city tower, since he missed it, wait for the next opportunity.

Yuanjiang country, Junfu, city tower hall

"My lord, I've inquired clearly. Now Oda Nobuhide basically ignores political affairs, and every day the soldiers of the four castles in Owari go out to patrol, and today it is snowing again, and if we attack Moriso Castle at night, we will definitely take it in one fell swoop! ”

"But is it okay to have a bad relationship with Owari now?" Yoshimoto Imagawa, who was sitting at the top, frowned.

"The Owari army is only 5,000, but we have nearly 30,000 troops in Yuanjiang, why can't we? If we take down Moriya, push Owari in one fell swoop, and go directly to Luo, we will complete the great cause of reunification faster! ”

"What did Tokugawa Ieyasu say?" Imagawa Yoshimoto remembered that not long ago, he asked Tokugawa Ieyasu to send someone to Owari to investigate.

"My lord, that wild monkey sent a letter not long ago, saying that it is true that the number of troops in Owari does not exceed 8,000 now, and the strength of Moriya is only about 1,000. According to the old minister's opinion, Owari can be beaten! ”

"Got it, then let's fight quickly, take advantage of the heavy snow in the sky for us and the group of foolish soldiers in Owari patrolling in the cold night, we will send troops to Owari to capture Moriya Castle in one fell swoop!" Imagawa nodded. Decide to attack Owari.

"Katsuyama Clan, you make some preparations. I'll leave the attack on Owari to you. When Yoshimoto's words fell, the faces of the group of strategists were full of cold smiles, and an extremely sharp voice came from the shadows of the lobby.

"The last will be ordered!" This voice is sharp and cold, but it has a strong aura, as if both sides of the extreme are shown in this person, and he is a military general, one of the four heavenly kings of Yuanjiang!

"With him in Senmo City, we have it at our fingertips!" There were smiles on the faces of those strategists, yes, the so-called Four Heavenly Kings of Enoe were the Katsuyama clan, the general of Anhara, the chief of the Ubana Palace, and the four of them were the biggest arms of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and they were the most trusted military generals and strategists of Imagawa Yoshimoto. This attack on Owari should be more than enough for the Katsuyama clan, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to fight!

The Geshan clan did not delay after receiving the order, after all, this person knew the way to lead the army, so as soon as he received the order, he went directly out of the castle tower and rode the good horse given to him by Imagawa Yoshimoto to set off towards the castle, and this person did not leave any flaws, and at the same time as he set off, he directly sent a few ashigaru to Nagajo Castle, Inui Castle, Yoshida Castle, Okazaki Castle, Anseki Castle, and Kariya Castle to advance and issue an order for the Kanegawa family to attack and invade Owari Province, with a total strength of more than 4,000 troops, Moreover, the people who gave the notice were all operating at night, and the soldiers were all ready to go, so attacking Owari was not a one-day or two-day plan.

The Imagawa family's plan is in full swing, and now they have gathered nearly 6,000 troops, but less than about 1,000 less than the total number of troops in Owari, and these are just a drop in the bucket of Enoe! Let's not forget that their main force hasn't appeared yet.

Minokoku, Inabayama Castle, castle tower.

"Husband, I've always felt restless lately, and I don't know what's going on." Guidie lay next to Guo Jia, holding Guo Jia's hand.

Gui Die has also been restless lately? What's going on, there shouldn't be any situation, and the ones in Owari haven't looked for him yet, so there shouldn't be any problem. Guo Jia couldn't give an answer for sure, so he could only comfort Gui Die.

"Don't worry, what's going on with me. Don't be afraid. Although Guo Jia has been haunted by this strange feeling in his heart, Takigawa Yiyi has not seen him so far, so he can't speculate on any clues at all, so he simply doesn't think about it, in this era, information and communication are too inconvenient, and everything is only one step at a time.

Owari Province, Nakono Castle, castle tower

The night was cold and windy, but there were always a few people who would not go to bed so early, some of them had evil intentions, and some of them were anxious. These two kinds of people appeared at the same time in Nakono, one was about to leave Nakono from inside Nakono Castle, and the other was about to enter Nakono Castle from outside Nakono Castle covered in scars.

"Huh? Koga's little one? "It was as if the man didn't exist at all in the middle of the night, and his voice was covered by the cold wind." Don't? ”

"Hattori Hanzo."

"Huh? Baidi Tanbo? How did you end up here? Aren't you at the general's? ”

"Compared to me, is the kunai in your hand trying to kill someone?"

The cold wind blew away the voices of the two men, and the scarred ninja didn't hear the conversation between the two men at all, and kept heading towards the distant gathering place of the Unknown Gloom.

"Hmph. Do I have anything to do with you when I'm here? ”

"Hanzo, I won't repeat the same thing you said anyway."

"Hyakuchi Tanba, I want to remind you, don't stay in Owari lately, isn't it good to be alive?"

"Thank you."

Those who went out of the city continued to go out of the city, and those who entered the city continued to enter the city, as if nothing had happened. But the difference is that those who left the city have long since disappeared into the cold wind, and the one who entered the city has staggered and fallen in the snow.

"Huh?" Takigawa Kazuyi heard a sudden abnormal sound from the outside world, although it was very low, but it suddenly appeared in the cold wind.

"Blood? Alert! The smell of blood in that person's scars was not blocked by the cold wind, but his fall caused the frozen wounds on his body to tear again, and the smell of blood blew down the cold wind into Takigawa Kazuyi's nose, enemy attack? Assassinate? Takigawa Kazuyi flashed through his mind with a lot of possibilities, but he only woke up the others with a sound of vigilance.

The alarm fell, and in an instant, nearly twenty people appeared here, some on the house, some in the snow, their clothes and the scenery are perfectly combined, so that people can't figure it out, can't see through it, and can't find it.

"Lord Yiyi, it's Xiao Wu who is back." The man in the house had better eyes, and he could see the man's costume and the side face at a glance, confirming that it was someone from the Ninja Legion.

"Bring him back!" Two or three people quickly moved the injured ninja Xiao Wu back to the room, and asked the skilled ninja to help him heal.

"Don't, leave me alone! Go find Master Guo Jia. Xiao Wu had just woken up now, and when he saw his companions around him, he hurriedly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Takigawa Kazuyi frowned.

"Far River Country, Far River Country...... Yoshimoto Imagawa, ahem...... Imagawa Yoshimoto has gathered an army of about 7,000 troops to suppress the border...... We're going to attack our Owari! ”
