Yoshida Shigemasa thought about Masayo's invitation, and finally put forward the condition that Masara must often learn archery skills with him. In this regard, Zhengliang readily agreed. Wasn't that what he was hoping for? And now he can also improve his understanding of archery in the course of learning from Yoshida Shigemasa, so that his archery skills are more powerful, so why not?

In this way, Shigemasa Yoshida officially became the archery teacher of the Luo family. The political conscience was happy, not only adding a fierce general to the Luo family, but also solving the problem of training archers in the territory. After all, the skills that Masarashi has mastered now are more suitable for people with relatively high skill levels to learn, and those who have not even reached the basic skill level of Ashigaru and low-level samurai, Masa can not teach. The arrival of Shigemasa Yoshida solved this problem.

Just when Masarashi officially recruited Yoshida Shigemasa and engaged in the construction of the territory of the Luo family, in Hirado Castle of the Hirado Matsuura clan, the head of the Matsuura family, Matsuura Mitsunobu, was discussing with the family's important minister, Catoreda Yasukei.

"How? How did the Roche family respond to their letters? Mitsunobu Matsuura, who was sitting on the main seat, asked.

"My lord, the Luo family has agreed to the family's request," Katoreda Yasukei replied. In fact, he had an objection to this matter in his heart. Originally, he had been in charge of negotiating a marriage alliance with the Luo family, but now the head of the family sent a letter that was likely to anger the other party without informing him, which cast a shadow on the alliance between the two families.

"Do you think this is something that was done inappropriately?" Matsuura Mitsushin observed his words and said lightly.

"Your Majesty is worried that this move may make the Luo family dissatisfied with their own family!" Cage Tian Anjing said truthfully.

"Give away the pearl of the family, what the family hopes to gain is the surrender of the other party" Matsuura Mitsunobu looked up at the cage hand Tian Anjing and said, "If it is an eagle that cannot be obeyed, then it must be eradicated as soon as possible." ”

"What do you mean, my lord, is this letter a temptation for the Luo family?" Cage Tian Anjing reacted immediately.

"Yes, what the family wants is a Luo family that is obedient," Matsuura Mitsunobu nodded and said, "If the Luo family can follow the family's wishes this time, then this marriage will have to continue to be discussed." If the Roche family ignores it. Then the family will have to suffer from the Luo family. ”

"This ......," Cage Tian Anjing was a little puzzled by the second half of the family master's words. According to the geographical environment, if the Matsuura family plans to punish the Luo family, they can only attack from the water. But the final result was just to make the Luo family lose the maritime trade route, and the blow to the Luo family was not big. And with the current strength of the Matsuura family. There is no time to land and then attack the opponent from land.

"Hmph, it seems that the Huzi family, who just lost to the main family, is at odds with the Luo family, and the family can assist the Huzi family to punish the Luo family slightly" Matsuura Mitsunobu saw the confusion of the retainers. Said coldly.

"The Huzi family was defeated by the family, and they must have a bitter hatred for the family, and it is really unwise to help" As an old minister who has served the Matsuura family for two generations, Cage Tian Anjing did not shy away from the risk of the family's decision-making, "What's more, now the Luo family has obeyed the family's request." Starting from the interests of the family, it is the best policy to assist the Luo family to continue to suppress the Huzi family. ”

"Well, punishing the Luo family is just a helpless move. Since the Luo family is willing to give in this time, then of course the family has to support it well," Matsuura Mitsunobu didn't seem to care about the retainers' outspokenness.

"So...... Your Excellency ......" Cage Tian Anjing looked at and said to the head of the family.

"You can continue to discuss the marriage with the Luo family, and end the marriage as soon as possible" Knowing that the retainer was consulting him about his decision, Matsuura Mitsunobu nodded and decided, "Tell the Luo family about the maritime trade routes controlled by the Matsuura family in the future." The Roche family can pass as they please. ”…,

"This ......" Cage Te Tian Anjing suddenly understood the intention of the head of the family. This is what Ming Chinese says, 'beat a stick and give a sweet date', thinking of this, Cage Teda Anjing immediately bowed to the ground and said, "The adult is wise." ”……

And in the city where the Ishihara family came up, it was gloomy and bleak at the moment.

The half-month-long civil strife in the Yomiko family finally ended, and the troops that continued to gather at the border by various branches and the suppression from the Hirado Matsuura family were suppressed. Huzi Zhengyou had to bow his head and relent, and sent all the hostages of the various families who were in a hurry back home.

Seeing the return of the head of the house. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, not long after returning to Jucheng, all the hostages who had been released fell to the ground. Then they died one after another. Apparently poisoned to death. The sudden change has plunged these families into chaos, especially those who have not yet confirmed the heir of the family governor.

"The top priority is to determine the candidate for the family governor as soon as possible," said the official guard who had finished the matter of the Luo family's envoy. According to his original intention, after explaining the details of the envoy to the Luo family to the head of the family, he was ready to apologize for his seppuku. It's a pity that Ji Luhua couldn't catch up with the changes, and before he had time to meet the head of the family, the head of the family died.

"No, this must be a conspiracy of the Huzi family, we should immediately mobilize our troops and unite the rest of the families to seek justice from the Huzi family," a retainer shouted indignantly.

"It's really unwise to move this move, let's invite the young master to come and make a decision" Seeing that some people objected, the officers and soldiers who knew the situation at home did not continue to argue, but planned to invite the young master to preside over the overall situation. The young master took care of the head of the family all night last night, and this morning he was overworked and returned to his home to rest, and at this moment he didn't know that the head of the Dao family had just died. After the death of the head of the family, the position of the governor was basically inherited by the young master. In order for the young master to smoothly control the rights of the family, it seems that he is secretly suggesting that the second young master be sent to the temple to become a monk.

"Oh no!" At this time, the little surname who went to wake up the young master ran back in a panic, shouting badly.

"When to panic?" The officer, who was already the chief minister of the family, immediately shouted.

"Big ...... Your Excellency, Your Majesty...... Your Highness, he ......" the little surname stammered and couldn't make a sound.

"Ahh At this time, a woman's exclamation came from the young master's room.

Everyone got up with a bang and rushed to the place where the young master was resting. Through the open door, I saw the young master lying in a pool of blood.

"Huh?" The retainers exclaimed.

"Who did it?" The officers and soldiers were furious, who was so bold to assassinate the heir of the family governor at this time? Could it be the second young master?

"My lord, the little one just saw the approaching adult and ran out in a panic," a small ashigaru who was in charge of guarding the gate of the mansion whispered. There was such a big thing as the assassination of the young master, and basically the entire mansion was alarmed.

"What?" The guards were shocked, "Not good. The side is close to the opposite, quickly, go to protect the second young master. "Since the head of the family and the young master have been killed, the second young master has become the only heir to the family governor, and his safety cannot be lost.

Within a day, the head of the Ishihara family was poisoned and died, and the young master was assassinated by his retainers, and the entire territory suddenly panicked......

In a dark secret room at Yoruko's house.

"How's it going?" A gloomy voice rang out in the darkness.

"Your Highness, the two little surnames who took the medicine with those hostages have already died of poison just now," a samurai knelt on the ground and whispered back.

"Hehe, so that means the guys who have returned to their respective homes are dead?" The voice of gloom sounded again. …,

"The investigation of this family is under close investigation, and once it is confirmed, it will be back immediately."

"Okay, tell all the retainers to go to the council hall at once. In addition, the mobilization of territorial peasants began, ready to attack at any time. ”

"Yes, Your Highness," the samurai commanded, still bowing his head.

"You go down" After a moment of silence, a gloomy voice sounded, "Let Yuranmaru serve in the inner room, and enjoy it tonight." ”

The samurai took the order, then lowered his head and slowly stepped backwards.

After the samurai left, there was a low laugh in the darkness: "Hey, hey, see how you still compete with me for the position of family governor?" ”

The chamber fell silent again. After a long time, a black shadow limped and walked out of the secret room step by step......

When Masarashi received news from the Matsuura family, he was discussing the construction of the domain with Togo Heiji in the mansion.

"Pingji, what do you think of this letter?" Masarashi handed the letter from the Hirado Matsuura family to Togo Heiji and asked after reading it.

"Your Highness, it seems that the other party intends to mend the rift between the two families caused by the previous letter," said Togo Heiji, "In the letter, the Matsuura family promised that the family's fleet could pass freely in the waters under its jurisdiction, which is good news." Nowadays, the autumn grain and farming cattle purchased by the Kamiya family entrusted by the family have been hoarded in large quantities in the warehouse of the Kamiya family, and the repeated delay in time is bound to cause other heroes to covet it. Now it's just right to get to the house through the Kaido controlled by the Matsuura family, bypassing the Sashi family. ”

"Hmm. You immediately inform Sun Goro and Guna Tong, and let them prepare, bring all the merchant ships and lotus ships of the family, and transport the materials temporarily placed in the Kamiya house back as soon as possible, and as for the Kamiya family, you will be responsible for taking care of it", Masarashi nodded and said.

"In addition, it has been decided in the book that the wedding date is set in late November, so you should go down and prepare for it, especially the dowry, as soon as possible," Masara continued after thinking about it. The idea of preparing to set up two main rooms, Masarashi has already conveyed it to Togo Heiji. Although Yu Li is not compatible, after all, it is about the status of his daughter, so Togo Heiji also acquiesced to Masayo's approach. Seeing that Togo Heiji, who values etiquette the most in the family, has no objections, Masahiro has already affirmed that there will not be too many people who oppose his decision.

"Your Highness" At this time, Yinuo hurriedly ran in, "There has been an accident in the Ishihara family. ”

"Huh?" Zhengliang was surprised when he heard this.
