Chapter 258: Surprise Attack on Inaba Mountain

It's late at night, and most of the people have already entered their dreams, but for Saito Ryuko, he still can't sleep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info for nothing else, just because the upset thing still hasn't been resolved. What's more, he didn't even have the slightest clue. "Alas...... Good government, good government...... I can't wait to kill you......" Ryuko Saito muttered.

Well, Saito Ryuxing thought about it and finally felt that the reason why he fell into this predicament was all because of Saito Toshimasa's sudden provocation. Hawkers, although Saito Toshimasa seems to be doing it for his own good, and he has obtained evidence, Saito Ryuxing obviously doesn't think so. Tsk, I have to say, this kid Saito Ryuxing is too good at finding reasons for himself.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed dozens of fires flashing in the distance, and then those firelights instantly dispersed.

"Let's take a look......," Saito Ryuxing said in a deep voice. As soon as the words fell, a deep voice sounded in the room where only Saito Ryuxing existed, "Yes!" "Then the tranquility returned.

Saito Ryuxing quietly looked at the firelights in the distance, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Under Inabayama Castle.

"Sakata Naganobu! You ......" Shigeharu Takenaka pointed to Sakata Naganobu, who was putting the sword back into its scabbard, and wanted to question, but he didn't know what to say.

"Lord Takenaka! There are so many of us, how could they have let us in if we hadn't done this! Sakata Nagasobu said in a deep voice.

Just now, Shigeharu Takenaka asked the guards to open the small gate next to the city gate on the grounds of an urgent military situation. Although Shigeharu Takenaka was scolded by Saito Ryuxing before, how would a soldier like a doorman know? In addition, Shigeharu Takenaka is a big celebrity in the eyes of Saito Ryuxing, so they naturally dare not stop it.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, Sakata Naganobu, who was followed by Shigeharu Takenaka, suddenly rushed forward and killed the two guards in charge of guarding directly.

"But......" Shigeji Takenaka wanted to say something more, and Nobumasa Suzuki on the side hurriedly jumped out of the round, "Shigeji, it's important to save people!" ā€

"Alas!" When Takenaka Shigeji heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then asked everyone to act according to the plan, and led people to rush to the place where Ando was being held.

The crowd scattered, and Sakata Naganobu and another Ando retainer ran to a hidden corner, and threw the torch in his hand next to the building in front of him.

"I didn't think it would be so easy to get in...... the retainer said with a chuckle, but in a ...... It turned out to be a woman?

"Tsuki, this is thanks to that Shigeharu Takenaka~" Sakata Nagasobu said with a strange smile, and the tone of his voice was actually different from the original.

"What do we do next?" The female voice asked.

"Naturally, he took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the castle tower and kill Saito Ryuko. As long as this is the case, who can grab the master's first credit? Sakata Naganobu said with a strange smile, that weird smiling face with murderous eyes, no matter how you look at it, it is quite weird.

Just hearing Sakata Naganshin's words, the female voice hesitated for a moment and then rejected the proposal, "No, it's impossible for Saito Ryuxing to be without the protection of ninjas and guards, and if we can't kill him at that time, we will be guessed by him as the mastermind behind the scenes." In this way, the lord's divisive plan failed. ā€

After speaking, seeing Sakata Naganobu's disapproving look, the female voice said again, "Kato-sama, I know that you are known as Fei Kato, and ninjutsu must be superb, but you must know that even if you can really kill Saito Ryuko, it may not be beneficial to the lord." ā€

Belch...... Sakata Naganobu turned out to be Kato Duanzo pretending? Isn't that the owner of the other female voice?

Sure enough, when Kato Duanzo heard this, he immediately reacted after a pause, "Thank you Mochizuki-sama for reminding me, since that's the case, let's go and protect Mamoru Ando and leave safely." Kato Duanzo said gratefully.

Well, the owner of the other female voice is Chiyo Mochizuki, and after the two of them separated from Ando Mori on the order of Oda Yoshinobu, they did not leave directly, but pretended to be the retainer of Sho Ando Mori and stayed with Suzuki Nobumasa and others. And as Chiyo Mochizuki said, even if Kato Duanzo and the others really killed Saito Ryuko, in fact, Oda Yoshinobu would not be able to admit it, because in that case, it would only bring him big trouble.

After all, no one wants to see a man under his command possess the power to easily kill a rival daimyo. At that time, I'm afraid that even Oda Nobunaga can't help but be afraid of Oda Yoshinobu. Well, this one is unlikely. And the other point is that assassination does not have a good reputation after all, and even in history, no force will admit that it has played assassination.

Of course, the most important thing is that assassination is very difficult, after all, no one wants to be killed for no reason.

The two made a decision and sneaked towards the place where Mamoru Ando was being held. That place, Shigeharu Takenaka had already told everyone when he came, so Kato Duanzo didn't have to investigate it himself.

At the observation deck of the castle tower, Saito Ryuko quietly looked at Mt. Inaba in the dark night, his eyes followed the flickering firelight, and suddenly, his eyes became sharp, because he saw a place where the fire flashed, and soon after, a fire slowly ignited there.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the room, "Your Highness, upon investigation, someone has deliberately set fire to the city, as if they want to create chaos. ā€

"Oh?" When Saito Ryuxing heard this, he immediately laughed, "Pass the order, let them concentrate on fighting the fire, and if they see a group of people going to rescue Ando Mamoru, there is no need to stop it." After saying that, Saito Ryuxing suddenly remembered the Oda ninja who contacted Ando Mamoru on the road, so he said again, "Send someone else to the city gate to strengthen the garrison, huh...... The castle tower should also be strengthened...... In addition......"

"Yes!"

The observatory was quiet again, and Saito Ryuko looked down at the fire below, muttering to himself, "Shigeji, Shigeji, you did me a great favor, but it's a pity......" Saito Ryuko shook his head and sighed.

At this time, fires lit up everywhere in Inabayama Castle, and bursts of exclamations rang out everywhere, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! The Oda Army has come in! As soon as the ashigaru, who had been awakened by the screams, stepped out of the room, they saw the light of the fire everywhere and the sound of screams ringing in their ears.

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Speed to put out the fire! You! You! Let's find out the news," shouted a man who could have been ashigaru. It didn't take long for the entire Inabayama Castle to be in chaos, and Shigeharu Takenaka and his party also took advantage of this opportunity to quickly run towards the place where Ando was being held.

"Kato-sama." Chiyo Mochizuki, who was hiding in the dark, reminded in a low voice.

"Well, I also found out that although the people of the Saito family are in chaos, their goal seems to be only to put out fires, and they have no intention of looking for the enemy......" Kato Duanzo muttered.

"Looks like it was discovered by Saito Ryuko." Chiyoyo Mochizuki thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm...... Let's take a look. Let's be careful not to be discovered. Kato Danzo nodded, reminding Chiyo Mochizuki. He suddenly realized that he seemed to underestimate Saito Ryuxing.

Shigeharu Takenaka and the others did not notice the abnormality of the Saito Army, nor did they pay attention to the disappearance of Sakata Naganobu and another retainer. This can't be helped, after all, the entire Inabayama Castle is in chaos at this time, and it is difficult for them to pay attention to the others.

Soon, they came to the place where Ando was being held.

"No one is guarding it?" Shigeharu Takenaka looked at the door of the mansion strangely, but before he could think about it, Nobumasa Suzuki had already rushed in, and soon after, he was seen running out with Mamoru Ando.

Seeing this, Shigeharu Takenaka instantly threw away the doubts in his heart, and walked in front of Ando Mamoru in a few steps, "Father-in-law!" ā€

Looking at Shigeharu Takenaka, Mamoru Ando had mixed feelings for a while, he couldn't have imagined that his son-in-law would do such a thing. "Alas, why is it so hard to re-treat you......" Mamoru Ando sighed, he was both moved and helpless about Takenaka's behavior.

Shigeharu Takenaka rescued him regardless of his career, and Mamoru Ando must have been moved. But after this incident, the only thing Ando Mamoru could do was to immediately contact Inaba Ryotsu and the clan Naomoto, and prepare to surrender to the Oda family while taking precautions.

"Father-in-law, let's talk about it when it's safe, now let's get out of here." Shigeharu Takenaka saw that Mamoru Ando seemed to have a lot to say, and hurriedly said.

"Good! Let's go! Mamoru Ando answered, but then he suddenly stopped, only to see him look back at the empty doorway, turn his head and ask strangely, "What about the people who were originally guarding here?" ā€

"When the son-in-law came, he didn't see anyone." Hearing this, Shigeharu Takenaka hurriedly responded.

Hearing this, Mamoru Ando paused for a moment, and then pondered.

"Lord, don't think about it, let's ...... quickly" Seeing this, Suzuki Nobumasa just wanted to urge, but was stopped by Shigeharu Takenaka, because he also found that things didn't seem to be quite right.

Just when Suzuki Nobumasa was in a hurry, Mamoru Ando finally spoke, "Let's go find Saito Toshimasa!" ā€

Hearing this, Suzuki Nobumasa was suddenly shocked, "Lord! Now I should have escaped from the city first! Your subordinates know that you have a deep vendetta against the traitor Saito Toshimasa, but ......"

Suzuki Nobumasa didn't finish his words, but he was directly interrupted by Mamoru Ando, "Okay Nobumasa, you don't have to say much, you'll know later." With that, he walked directly to Saito Toshimasa's mansion.

Seeing this, Suzuki Nobumasa could only set his eyes on Shigeharu Takenaka, but saw him look at Suzuki Nobumasa with a wry smile and said, "Okay, Suzuki-sama, let's hurry up." ā€

Soon, the group came to Saito Toshimasa's mansion, but the situation here shocked Suzuki Nobumasa and others. Because the two guards who were supposed to be guarding the door were lying on the ground at this time, and when they looked closely, they were already dead.

"Hehe, the lord is really ruthless enough......" Mamoru Ando sneered when he saw this, and then strode towards the mansion, seemingly not worried about any danger at all. And Shigeharu Takenaka looked at the two corpses with a gloomy face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he quickly followed. As for Nobumasa Suzuki and the others, they were confused, and they didn't seem to understand what was going on at all.

"It's weird, it's so weird!" Chiyo Mochizuki shook her head and muttered as she watched the actions of Mamoru Ando's group of people.

"Yes, it's really weird, the people in this mansion were definitely not killed by us, and according to their reactions, it shouldn't have been killed by Mamoru Ando. So how did this group of people die? Kato Duanzo muttered strangely, he had an answer in his heart, but he really didn't dare to make a conclusion.

At this moment, Chiyome Mochizuki and Danzo Kato closed their mouths almost at the same time, carefully lurking in the shadows and not moving. And almost at the same time as they stopped all their actions, four ninjas appeared not far from them.

"Boss, they've found out." A ninja whispered.

"Well, if you find it, you will find it, and Your Highness didn't say that you wouldn't let them find out." The ninja who was made the leader whispered, "Yoshisuke, you take someone to continue to monitor Mamoru Ando and the others, and if they are ready to leave after killing Saito Toshimasa, go out and stop them." ā€

"Yes!"

After receiving an answer from his men, the leader disappeared into the darkness, and the remaining three ninjas nodded to each other and hid near Saito's mansion.

And the two of Kato Duanzo, who were hiding in the shadows, saw this situation and glanced at each other, and there was no movement anymore, as if these two people never existed at all.

Saito Rido's mansion.

Saito Toshimichi looked at Mamoru Ando, who was slowly walking towards him, in horror, and wanted to escape, but his hands and feet had already been firmly tied. I wanted to ask for help, but my mouth was gagged.

At the door, Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Saito Toshimichi with a complicated expression, he knew very well that Saito Toshimichi's current appearance was definitely not made by any of them, and if it wasn't for them, who would it be? The results speak for themselves.

"Chongzhi, all dead, killed with a knife, there is no trace of resistance!" Nobumasa Suzuki's voice came, his tone full of disbelief and fear, because it was all too weird.

But Shigeharu Takenaka had obviously expected this result a long time ago, and he just responded lightly, and there was no other response.

Mamoru Ando walked up to Toshimichi Saito and slowly crouched down, and under his horrified gaze, he took out the strip of cloth that gagged his mouth.

"Ando-sama! Spare your life! Spare the villain! It's the villain...... it's wrong," Saito kept begging for mercy.

It's just a pity that Mamoru Ando just shook his head when he heard this, then stood up and slowly pulled out the sword, and waved it down fiercely in Saito Toshimichi's frightened gaze.

"Saito-sama, it's not that I don't want to spare you, but ...... Even if I spare you, you won't be able to escape death......" Mamoru Ando said helplessly as he looked at the corpse on the ground.
