Chapter 103: Ambush
"Haha, master, we finally met", under Kurayama Castle, Masashi greeted the arriving Yoshimasa Nagasura with a smile on his face.
"Poor monk Xuanru, I have seen His Royal Highness", Nagasura Yoshimasa, who looked less than 20 years old, folded his hands and saluted.
"His Royal Highness Zhengliang, according to the agreement, Cangshan City already belongs to His Highness Yizheng, why are there still so many warriors of the Luo family guarding it?" , A middle-aged monk behind Xuanru said suddenly.
"Who is this?" , Zhengliang ignored the other party, and looked directly at Xuanru and asked.
"It's... This is the senior brother of the poor monk", Xuanru said a little unnaturally.
"Hehe, because there are more guerrillas nearby, in order to ensure safety, the strength of the family has to temporarily guard the safety of this place for the master, and after the master fully accepts this place, the strength of the family will be withdrawn immediately. Now let's ask the master to come into the city with me to receive it", Zhengliang said solemnly to Xuanru, not glancing at the senior brother Xuanru who suddenly interjected just now from beginning to end.
"Then there is His Royal Highness Lao", Xuanru immediately responded.
"Senior brother, be careful of deception", Senior Brother Xuanru said suddenly in the back. As soon as his voice fell, more than a dozen monks behind him immediately became vigilant.
"It doesn't matter, the poor monk believes in His Royal Highness Zhengliang's promise to Master Xuanzhi. If you are worried, please wait outside the city for a while, and after the junior brother receives the city, it will not be too late to enter the city," Xuan said with an old voice. After speaking, he took the lead into the city, followed by two young monks who looked to be more than ten years old.
"Senior brother?" , Xuanru's senior brother also tried to admonish, but Xuanru had already gone away at this time, and after secretly glancing at another monk beside him, he had no choice but to take the rest of the people into the city.
Soon, the people came to the council hall and sat down in their own ranks.
"Hmph, His Royal Highness Zhengliang, I don't know when the road will be delivered to the city?" Before Zhengliang could speak, Xuanru's senior brother asked again.
"Hehehe, the city will be delivered, but it will only be delivered to Master Xuanru, not to the Huzi family", Zhengliang smiled slightly. As soon as the words fell, the two cloaked people who were standing behind Xuanru and were about to retreat immediately pounced on Xuanru's senior brother. The other party was subdued before he could react. At the same time, there was a sound of beating and killing in the courtyard outside.
"You... What are you doing? Do you want to break your promise? Xuanru's senior brother was shocked and angry, and shouted while trying to struggle.
"Pull it down and dispose of it, don't make this place dirty", Masarashi waved his hand and motioned for the samurai to take this guy down and kill him, "I still have to talk to the master about tea." ”
"Hmm... Hmm...", after hearing Zhengliang's words, Senior Brother Xuanru, who had been gagged with a rag, immediately turned his face to ashes, trying to beg for mercy. The samurai behind him dragged him down mercilessly.
According to the information provided by Master Xuanru, among the people who received Cangshan City with him this time, except for the two little monks who followed Xuanru closely at the beginning, the rest were all Huzi family warriors who were temporarily inserted by the Huzi family. The Huzi family can be described as sinister, on the one hand, they are trying to become the actual controller of Cangshan City through these samurai, and on the other hand, they are trying to make Cangshan City a nail in the Luo family's territory. It's a pity that the Huzi family didn't expect that Zhengliang had a good personal relationship with Master Xuanzhi, and Xuanru secretly told Muzo Shizhongzhong about the spy after getting the instruction of his master, so there was an ambush to arrest the Huzi family's spies.
"Anitabha, Your Highness, God has the virtue of a good life, as the so-called forgiving and forgiving people, please be merciful to their subordinates", Xuanru couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately pleaded for mercy.
"Master, the Buddha is merciful, that is the extensive benevolence to all the believers, but you see, these people are actually the embodiment of demons, staying in the world will only continue to be evil, a little mercy to these people, will make these demons hurt more good people, which is contrary to the Buddha's extensive benevolence, so it is better for them to let them go back to hell as soon as possible", Masara said with a smile. …,
"Sure enough, as the poor monk master said, His Highness's Taoism is really unique," Xuanru said.
"Master, this is the letter handed over by Master Xuanzhi, now let the Buddha testify to this letter", after speaking, Zhengliang threw the entire letter into the fire that was burning tea, and the red fire instantly turned the letter into ashes. This is deliberately done by Masahiro, in order to show trust in the other party. In fact, Zhengliang can completely use this letter to blackmail Master Xuanzhi to help the Luo family more in the future, after all, once the Huzi family sees this letter, Xuanzhi's life will be threatened. By the way, due to the belief in Zen Buddhism, there are no monks at Puen Temple.
"His Royal Highness's courage really makes the poor monk admire, the poor monk will keep his promise, Cangshan City is still managed by His Royal Highness, the poor monk hopes to have more time to explore the way of medicine", Xuanru said deeply. According to what Xuanzhi said in the letter, I hope that Zhengliang falsely promised Xuanru to return to the territory to inherit the Nagasura family, and when Xuanru confirms that he is out of the control of the Huzi family, the territory can be returned to the Luo family, but in this way, the Luo family will ensure Xuanru's safety in the future, after all, if he violates the order of the Huzi family, he will definitely be hunted down. After thinking about this thoroughly, Zhengliang agreed, first of all, even if Xuanru regretted it the most, Zhengliang still had a way to regain Cangshan City; Secondly, Xuanru has followed Xuanzhi since he was a child, and he is extremely talented in medicine, and he has done his best to pass on the true medicine of Xuanzhi, which is good news, the Luo family's territory is currently lacking a pharmacist, and after Xuanru arrives, this problem can be solved.
"I wonder where Master Dao plans to settle down?" , Masarashi asked.
"Your Highness, please forgive the poor monk's appearance, I don't know where the Taoist mother is?" , Xuanru's mother is a concubine of Yoshisada Nagakura, because Xuanru was sent to Puen Temple when he was very young, so he was forced to separate from Xuanru, but Xuanru's mother still kept secretly running to Puen Temple to visit the son of a monk who had become a monk.
"I've settled down in the castle town where my family's main castle is located," Masarashi replied. After the destruction of the Nagasura family, all the male members of the family were killed, and the remaining homeless women and children were relocated to Notaka Village to settle down.
"Then I beg Your Highness to let the poor monk go there to reunite with his mother," Xuanru said with a little emotion.
The political conscience was slightly stunned, this is the performance that a young man under the age of 20 should have. Xuanru's old performance before this is really too different from his age.
"Then it's better to do this, I arrange for someone to build a new temple near Yegao Village, which will be used as the worship temple of the Luo family, how about asking the master to preside?" , Masarashi asked.
"Everything is subject to His Highness's arrangement," Xuanru said. Xuanru also hopes to have a fixed residence where she can concentrate on the study of medicine. Masahiro's proposal integrates his intentions.
After bidding farewell to Master Xuanru, Masara came to the courtyard, where the battle had just ended, and the corpse of a "monk" with arrows stuck all over his body lay on the ground of the courtyard.
"Your Highness, all the spies sent by the Huzi family have been killed", Onishi Kuniji, who still had blood stains on his body, reported to Masahiro.
"Very good, let's dispose of these corpses, and let Yinuo spread rumors that the Luo family has returned Cangshan City to Nagakura Yoshimasa," Masashi commanded. Although sooner or later the Huzi family would notice the abnormality here, it was also a long time later, and the Luo family also got a rare time to digest the newly occupied territory. When the time comes, let's do it again.
