"My lord! We're here to tell you! "On the twelfth day of my return to Komakiyama Castle, I was accompanied by Naganobu and Ishikawa Tadsuna to my mansion.

"You've worked so hard! Is everything arranged? Without waiting for them to answer, I shouted out the door, "Is anyone there?" Call Guangcheng for me! ”

"Thanks to the lord's care, everything is settled!" It was Tadasuna Ishikawa who replied. "After receiving the letter from the lord, Lord Murai Sadakatsu immediately made arrangements, and now the family members are temporarily living in the carp house, and the subsidized food and farm tools have also been received!"

"In addition......" Mr. Bancho added, "Murai-sama has selected a village site for us on the banks of the Kiso River, and the house is under construction, and it is expected to be completed in a month." We can have such blessings because of the great kindness of the Lord! ”

"Do you have any other difficulties or requirements?" I asked uneasily.

"It's completely gone, please rest assured!" The two of them bowed their heads together and replied.

"That's good! Now that I have no worries, I can arrange a job for you! I said with satisfaction.

"But by the mercy of the Lord! Go to the soup and die without giving up! ”

"Don't be so tragic!" I said with a wave of my hand to them. "We're still far from that day!"

"My lord! Did you summon me? At this time, Kusunoki Mitsunari's voice sounded outside the door.

"Is it Guangcheng? Come on in! "I greeted the door." You sit down first! I'm about to give them a job, so listen to it! I said to Mitsunari Kusunoki who walked in.

"Yes! He answered, and sat down on the side.

"First of all, it's the manpower ......," I thought for a moment and said, "According to your current system, each middle ninja leads his subordinate shinobi into a group, so that it is easier to get acquainted with each other and enter the situation!" Tadasuna, are your people familiar with the range? I asked suddenly.

"Very familiar!" Ishikawa Tadatsuna said confidently. "I've been around Kyoto for a few years since I left Igaya, and now several of my subordinates are from there!"

"That's good!" I nodded and said, "You send a group of people to to monitor the movements of the Miyoshi family and the shogun!" The other group of people is more scattered, the Rokkaku, Asakura, Asai, and ...... The younger brother of the general who became a monk at Kofukuji Temple in Nara, Kakukei! You don't have to worry about everything, but if something big happens, send a message back immediately. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Ishikawa replied respectfully.

"Other people's work is ......," I think the focus should be on Mino.

"Smack, smack, smack!" Then the door rang softly three times.

"Who's there? In! "I'm a little strange about who is knocking on the door at this time.

"Whew!" The door was gently opened, and the eyes of several people in the room focused on that direction, and it turned out that Ying was kneeling by the door. "Madame asked me to ask the lord: the birthday gift for Mrs. Nonghime is about to be delivered, does the lord want to read it again?"

"No need!" I waved at her. "Tell Madame, just let her be in charge!"

"Yes!" The warbler said yes and gently closed the door.

"Zhonggang, you still have three groups of people left...... "I picked up the topic just now." Now that East Mino has been pacified, you have to pay attention to the wealthy families of West Minon. The main target is on Mamoru Ando, Kazutetsu Inaba, and the family Bu Quan, the 'Nishimino Three'! ”

"Lord, his subordinates will not disgrace their lives!" Ishikawa replied.

Below is the ...... of Nagashin, "I turned to another ninja leader." Your goals are twofold! Saito Ryuko of Inaba Mountain Castle and Hanbei Shigeji of Takenaka Hanbei of Bodhi Mountain Castle have different requirements for them! Be meticulous! Don't let anything go! Even if their recipes change every day, you have to check and record them personally, and you have to submit a summary to me at least every three days! Sooner or later, report it to me immediately! ”

"The lord just rest assured, his subordinates will live up to their trust!" The answer of the companion letter was not hesitant.

"You can go to work! Oh, and one more thing! You can also report to me directly if you encounter a major incident in the future, but he ...... "I pointed to Kusunoki Mitsunari on the side." "I appoint him as your leader, and you are directly accountable to him!"

"What?" After a moment of silence, Ishikawa Tadsuna screamed. "My lord! You actually let a child run over us? You're too ......."

"I'm a companion of the family, and I obey the order!" But the companion Changxin leaned over at this time to receive the order.

"Don't you have a little bit of self-esteem?" Ishikawa Tadatsuna looked at him incomprehensibly.

"Zhonggang, I'm going to tell you something!" I stopped Ishikawa's seizure. "That night, he knocked you out of the house!"

"Oh...... I'm an Ishikawa family of the Iga-ryu branch and obey the order! Ishikawa finally lowered his head.

"Long letter! You stay. "Watching them bend down and exit, I suddenly called.

"My lord! What else do you have to say? He hung his head low.

"You...... Is there anything you want to say to me? "I didn't look at him, I just turned a teacup in my hand.

"No, my lord!"

"Really not?!"

"Yes! Lord! ”

"Okay, you go down!" I casually picked up a book on the table.

He retreated to the door, and suddenly came back again, prostrating himself in front of me.

"Say whatever you want!" I still didn't look at him.

"Damn it!" He kept kowtowing. "My subordinates have actually seen that pattern, and they know something about 'Styx'!"

"Okay, tell me what you know!" My curiosity grew even further. The reason I left him behind was because his body shook unnaturally when he saw the "March" yellow ribbon on the warbler's wrist.

"Yes!" He still didn't dare to look up. "The ninja who dominated the country back then was not Iga but Koga, and Iga only had thirteen upper ninja Koga, but there were fifty-three! Seventy years ago, the head of Koga's gate, the Mochizuki clan, was a powerful man who attempted to challenge the legendary 'Immortal Hime', but Koga has since gone into decline! 'Hadeshime' has been around for a long time, and it is also a ghost-like existence among ninjas. She rarely appears, maybe only once in decades, but she is a must-do, and her mark is a small wooden plaque painted with clouds and three waning moons! The Mochizuki clan thought that this mark violated their taboo, so they mobilized all of Koga's ninjas to crusade against her......"

"Oh, that's it......" I tried not to act too urgent.

"Yes! Later......" the companion Changxin smiled bitterly. "No one alive has ever seen her, but in just half a year, four masters of the Wangyue family have died mysteriously, and each diversion is even more defeated! What's even stranger is that every time someone dies, a 'March Wooden Plaque' will appear, but no matter how closely guarded, the Wooden Plaque will mysteriously disappear at night three days later! Since then, the Mochizuki family has lost absolute control over the Koga streams, and the internal strife and strife in Koga have been in a state of collapse! I saw that pattern my grandfather draw when I was a kid and I don't want to see it again today! I don't want to ...... The lord turned out to be the host of the contemporary 'Stygian Princess'! ”

"Alright, you go out!" I closed the book in my hand. "Remember! Don't speculate, and don't talk too much! ”

"Yes!"

"You...... Ever heard of the 'Thousand Nights'? "I was reminded of the first time I met the warbler in Sakai Town.

"Mirage?" He paused to think about it. "Nope! Never heard of it! ”
