Of course, the so-called unpredictable world, although Masarashi did hope that Saito Michizo's Mino Province could play its role as a nail to curb the development of the Oda family and the Takeda family, but it is also very likely that there will be discrepancies during this period.

For example, it is also possible that Oda Nobunaga completely trusted Saito Michizo's father-in-law, and went directly through his territory to the Omi Province region, and then opened a rapid road to Rakuro, as is the case in history.

However, this possibility is relatively rare, after all, Saito Michizo is known as a pit viper, even after experiencing his son's conspiracy, and then receiving support from the Luo family and the Oda family, but his pit viper-like personality and way of doing things will not change because of this, so it is difficult to guarantee that Saito Michizo will not covet Owari Kuni.

As for Oda Nobunaga, in Masara's view, he promised to help Saito Michizo return to Mino Province, and it is estimated that deep down he is completely sure that Saito Michizo has no such opportunity (but Oda Nobunaga underestimated the power of the Luo family, after all, with the Luo family began to lay out in their territory more than ten years ago, anything may have a chance to be realized), and Oda Nobunaga hopes to use Saito Michizo's identity to confront Saito Yoshiryu, and even try to get involved in Mino country, So Oda Nobunaga agreed to support Saito Michizo, this time after receiving Saito Michizo's request for help, I really don't know what Oda Nobunaga's face was like at that time.

Of course, it is estimated that Oda Nobunaga will not think about taking the opportunity to invade Mino Province during this process, but with the interception force sent by Saito Yoshiryu before, it is enough to contain the Oda family's army. If Oda Nobunaga increased the intensity of the attack. On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the wealthy families of the United States even more. As a result, Michizo Saito was able to take control of the Saito family more calmly in the rear.

As for this time, after Saito Michizo successfully returned to Mino Province, even if the Oda family re-became an ally with the Saito family, with Oda Nobunaga's character, he may not be able to fully believe in Saito Michizo, so the possibility of Oda Nobunaga attacking Omi Province through Mino Province is also very low.

As for Masarashi and Oda Nobunaga's respective thoughts in the process of this tripartite cooperation, Saito Michizo naturally didn't know, although he was more and more jealous of the Luo family in his heart at this time. But at least before he regains complete control of the Saito family, he must also maintain cooperation with the people of the Luo family in front of him, after all, whether he succeeds tonight or not, it is the people of the Luo family around him that he can count on.

"It looks like something is wrong!" Just as everyone was watching the situation in the Inabayama Castle Castle Tower in front of them, the envoy of the Luo family suddenly said.

As soon as the envoy of the Luo family said this, it made many people feel stunned, judging from the current situation near the castle tower, no matter how you look at it, it is a kind of negligence. Why is it suddenly said that something happened in the city? If something happens. That's supposed to be more precautionary, right? Why did you reduce your precautions?

"Not bad." Just when everyone was stunned, Saito Michizo, who was the former owner of this place, also agreed in a low voice. "According to the usual situation of the castle tower, at this time, there should be a lot of guards in the vicinity of this place. Now that it seems so deserted, there is only one possibility. ”

"Hmmm! The three great people of the Dao are right. The envoy of the Luo family also immediately said, "I'm afraid it's because something happened, but I don't want this matter to spread quickly, so I evacuated most of the guards near here to the periphery of Honmaru." ”

After saying this, the envoy of the Luo family also glanced at Saito Michizo slightly. At this time, the only thing that can cause an accident in the city is that it is possible that the governor of the Saito family, Saito Yoshiryu, really died under the calculation of the Luo family.

For the Luo family's calculation this time, the Luo family's intelligence cabinet is very well prepared. The pills that the lord gave to Master Kuaikawa Shaoxi were mixed with some special poisons.

These poisons are said to have been seen for the first time from the hands of local Jianghu figures when the lord was in the Ming Kingdom, and even the lord himself tested these poisons on the vicious son of a corrupt bureaucrat in the Ming Kingdom at that time.

Over the years, with the help of some Ming merchants, the Luo family has successively obtained some of these poisons, and began to use them to deal with those wealthy families who are hostile to the Luo family, according to the envoy of the Luo family, the first person to die because of these poisons in the Warring States period was fed by the lord Gongzheng Liang with tea and took these poisons, and then released it to the Otomo family's former Kyushu Hizen country to protect the young family governor, this unlucky guy after being taken in by the Otomo family, But he died of poison after drinking alcohol.,This also allowed the family to install a hat for the Otomo family to plot to kill the governor of the young family.,So as to get a righteous excuse to fight against the Otomo family and avenge the governor of the young family.。

As for these years, because every place the Luo family occupies, a large number of local wealthy families have been relocated, so that many wealthy families are very dissatisfied with the Luo family after arriving in the new territory, so under the personal auspices of the Luo family envoy himself, but the use of these poisons to assassinate and kill many such wealthy family governors and retainers, taking the previous migration of southern Kyushu as an example, the Luo family envoy once again commanded some of the subordinates of the intelligence cabinet to poison more than a dozen local wealthy families.

This time, Saito Yoshiryu's death must have been the effect of these poisons again. However, since the calculation was successful, the safety of Master Kuaikawa Shaoxi and others, who did not know anything about this calculation, was a bit dangerous this time, so they had to speed up their actions.

Thinking of this, the envoy of the Luo family immediately said to Saito Michizo: "Dao San, let's go directly to the Senjotai Pavilion next." It's just that the situation of the Senjotai Pavilion depends on your help. ”

"Don't worry!" Michizo Saito immediately responded. was said by the envoy of the Luo family, but it aroused Saito Michizo's emotion.

At this time, Michizo Saito, who was already in his sixties, had a gray beard after he moved from Mino to Kyoto to settle down. The years are urging people, and the powerful Saito family master in the past is already a little old at this moment. Right now, Saito Michizo looked at the familiar layout of Inabayama Castle, and his eyes were so stunned that he almost burst into tears.

"Attack!"

The envoy of the Luo family on the side naturally didn't know how Saito Michizo felt at this time, and after getting Saito Michizo's response, he let out a low voice.

Immediately, some of the hundreds of Luo family members were separated, and they jumped on the rock gently, and then quietly touched the direction of the Sendietai Pavilion. These people are all good hands in the Black Eagle Ninja Army of the Luo family, and this time it was in order to secretly infiltrate Inabayama Castle that they gathered them, and they usually have their own tasks.

As these Black Hawk ninjas continued to advance, all the guards who stood in front of them were mercilessly stabbed or cut down by them. And after waiting for a while, after receiving the message from the front that he could enter, the envoy of the Luo family and Horio Yoshiharu and others escorted Saito Michizo and rushed forward.

Subsequently, until everyone entered the Senjotai Pavilion, it seemed very quiet along the way, as for the Saito family guards who were originally guarding here, after being killed, their bodies were all pulled to a dark place to be placed, as for the people around the Luo family envoys, they took the place of these guards in their original positions, and before the sky was bright, ordinary people would only see them as the original guards.

After Yoshiharu Horio commanded by the door, the envoy of the Luo family began to walk towards the upper floor of the residence hall with a dozen or so subordinates. Two samurai on the stairs tried to swing their swords, and they were instantly killed.

"Who are you?" When the envoy of the Luo family entered the Monomi Terrace, among the people of the Saito family who had been surrounded by everyone in the Luo family, a young man with a pale face was shouting at everyone in the Luo family at this time. This young man's outfit is very elegant, and it should be Saito Ryuxing.

Around Saito Ryuxing, seven or eight samurai who seemed to be important ministers of the Saito family were holding swords and guarding in front of Saito Ryuxing. It seems that these people should be discussing the disposition of Saito Yoshiryu's aftermath and Saito Ryuko's succession to the family governor.

"However, it seems that you have no chance of succeeding the family governor." Looking at Saito Ryuxing in front of him, the envoy of the Luo family said in his heart.

"Who are we?" Just when the envoy of the Luo family sighed in his heart, a voice came from behind him. It was none other than Michizo Saito.

As everyone in the Saito family who was surrounded saw the face of the person who spoke, including Saito Ryuxing, they couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation:

"Ah......" (To be continued......
