In the hall where Masarashi was dealing with territorial affairs, Masarashi was reviewing the interrogation report of the Assassins.

After reading the report, Masatoshi realized that his encounter with this assassin this time was purely a coincidence. This group of Assassins was sent by the Ouchi family and the Mori family. They got information about Nozomi Aso from the Aso family in Chikuzen Province, and then disguised themselves as homeless people and infiltrated the territory of the Luo family, and quietly broke away from the immigration team taken in by the Cabinet of Internal Affairs halfway to the castle town of Gakufu Castle, and found Nozomi Aso and others who happened to settle outside the city.

According to the original plan of these assassins, they first controlled Aso, and then approached Masato through Aso, and then carried out the assassination plan. And after they entered the town, they did successfully control the people in Aso's courtyard. This caused Nozomi Aso to not visit his friend Risa Sagara for a long time, and then Risa Sagara complained to Masara about whether Masara had done something to Nozomi Aso, which caused Nozomi Aso to not come to visit her for a long time.

Originally, everything was arranged, but I was waiting for a chance to get close to Masayo, but one day I was found by Aso's servant who had given Luo's family information about the beans in his bag overnight and asked for help. It was Mikawa Moriyuki and others who happened to be passing nearby who received the request for help, so after a fierce fight, they attracted the attention of the Joshita Town Public Security Peasant Soldiers, and the assassins in the courtyard had to retreat in a hurry. Then there was the matter of Masarashi hurrying to Aso's courtyard after learning that Yamanaka Mikawa Mori and others had been attacked.

Therefore, if it weren't for the fact that Yamanaka Mikawa Mori happened to be in Nozomi Aso's yard, Masara probably wouldn't know when Mikawa Mamoru would have the opportunity to meet Nozomi Aso again. Masashi is not a lustful person who wants to occupy as long as he sees a beautiful woman. So after Aso Nozomi was "invited" to Luo's house as a guest. I handed it over to Risa Sagara to greet her. Coupled with the busy affairs during this time, Zhengliang has long forgotten her. If it weren't for such a coincidence, those assassins really wouldn't have had a chance to get close to Masayo.

"Now that the Assassin has explained the whereabouts of his companions, let us send someone to encircle and suppress them immediately." After reading the results of the interrogation, Masato immediately ordered. Fei Duan immediately took the order and left.

"Let's go to the cells in the city." In the interrogation report, the martial arts master who was defeated by Masarashi asked to meet with Masara, and Masarashi wanted to see what else he had to say.

Accompanied by several cloaks and the small surnames Esato Kounobutsune, Hyakumi Kenkan, Narimatsu Nobukatsu, and Yamanaka Yukimori. Masarashi walked out of the seven-story castle tower, but when he turned to the direction of the cell, he temporarily changed his attention and went to the backyard first.

After returning to the backyard, I happened to see Risa Sagara chasing butterflies in the garden with two little maids. After several years of development, Risa Sagara has grown from a twelve-year-old Lori when she first got married to an eighteen-year-old beauty. After being taken home this time, Masara also began to have sex with her, and under the nourishment of Masaara, Sagara Risa has become more and more of a young woman.

"Husband-sama." Seeing Masarashi walking into the back garden alone, Sagara Risa immediately trotted over to salute.

"Hmm!" Masayo sat down on the grass. Gently pulled Sagara Sasa up and took him into his arms. "How is she?" This is naturally a reference to Nozomi Aso, who has only recently moved in.

"What happened last time scared the hell out of her. Now I'm hiding in the house with two maids and I don't dare to come out at will. Risa Sagara replied with a blushing face. Although she has long been familiar with the joy of the boudoir, she still feels very shy when she is hugged by Zhengliang in front of the public.

"Hey, then you should take a look at this first." Masara originally planned to meet Nozomi Aso directly, but it was impossible to see the current situation, so he had to show Riki the interrogation report submitted by Fang Caifei Duan at this moment. The latter immediately lay down in Zhengliang's arms and watched.

"Huh?" After looking at it for a while, Riki exclaimed. Because he saw the Assassin's interrogation report stating that after controlling Nozomi Aso, he must kill Nozomi Aso after the assassination is completed. And this is a decision made by the governor of the Aso family himself. It seems that Aso Nozomi was forcibly "kidnapped" by the Luo family, which really brought a lot of trouble to the Aso family, not only could not explain to the future in-laws Naito family, but also could not explain to the Ouchi family, so the Aso family simply decided to kill Aso Nozomi. This is the best way to deal with the Aso family. Poor Nozomi Aso was abandoned by his own family in this way.

"She'll live here in the future, well, she'll leave it to you to arrange." Masato said after thinking about it.

"Hmm." Riki obediently put the book back into Masara's arms, and then replied. She knew that this was an arrangement made by Zhengliang for her sake, and at the same time felt sad for her friend. originally thought that only he would encounter the thing of being abandoned by his family (he was forced to leave home to avoid suspicion), but he didn't expect it, and now Nozomi Aso has also encountered it.

"That's it! Tell her what happened when you have time, and let her give up the idea of returning home. Masarashi gently "pecked" Rihime's forehead, and then whispered. He can take in Nozomi Aso, but he can't let Nozomi Aso become a security hazard for the Luo family, let alone make Nozomi Aso a fine work of the Aso family, so this sentence is actually to warn Nozomi Aso with the help of Riki, so that she can completely give up the past and be a free little girl again.

After lingering with Riki again, Masarashi immediately joined up with the people outside the backyard gate again, and immediately rushed to the cell built underground in the north of Gakufu City. It is full of guards, and it is the place where the Luo family holds important prisoners. It can be said that it is the only prison cell that can be as heavily guarded as the house arrest manor in Chunghyosa Temple in Songpu County.

"Meet the repairman." When the Assassin, whose hands and feet were shackled (a Ming ironsmith made in the style of the torture instruments of the Ming cell), was brought to Masayo, the Assassin saluted respectfully. Although he was shackled, after receiving special orders from Masayo, the assassin was hardly punished. And the assassin after coming to his senses. He also cooperated with the information.

"Your Excellency has made a request for an interview. Now under the next is already here. If you have anything else you would like to say, please say it. Masato said.

"Presumably, the repair doctor can also see that he didn't come here to be an enemy on purpose, but he had to do it!" The assassin said helplessly.

At this time, Masato finally saw the face of the person who came (he didn't look carefully at the last battle). With a square face, a slightly vicissitudes of life, he looks like he is forty years old. Moreover, at the time of the duel. The man's clothes were soaking wet, and he had apparently sneaked into the water of the well to hide when he was being searched. That's why it wasn't discovered by the lucky ones. However, he appeared when Masato arrived, and also said Masahiro's official position, apparently having studied Masayo specifically. In other words, it was the Ouchi family and the Mori family who studied Masara very well (after all, the information was provided to the Assassins by these two families). The thought of being remembered by a guy like Maori Moto, Masato felt very uncomfortable.

However, this person's words at this time also seem to make sense, and he doesn't seem to want to hurt the people on the political side. On the way to Nozomi Aso's courtyard, Kosuke told Masara that there were no casualties among the Yamanaka Mikawa Mamori and Nozomi Aso. Only a few of Aso's servants were knocked unconscious. And when he attacked Zhengliang at the beginning, this person could have killed two peasant soldiers and two cloaked people. But it was obvious that his subordinates were merciful, and they just knocked people out.

In this way, this person is obviously aimed at Zhengliang, but it seems that there is too much hostility, and the assassination of Zhengliang seems to be forced, so what is going on?

"Your Excellency?" Seeing that the person who came behaved like this, Zhengliang immediately asked.

"I'm ashamed! In the next time, I admired the martial arts of the repairman and hoped to have the opportunity to compete with the repairman, and secondly, he was coerced to assassinate the repairman. The visitor did not reply to Zhengliang's inquiry, but once again explained his intention. Apparently he was ashamed to tell Masato his name.

"And thanks to the group of guests who were prompted to go to the yard to rescue. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to leave aside the other people who were watching me, let alone have the opportunity to challenge the repairman alone, and I wouldn't let the repairman talk to him alone. Seeing that Masato still didn't respond to him, he continued.

"At this time, there was nothing else to ask for, and when I asked for a death, I also asked my lord to assassinate him, but after the assassination failed, the news of his killing spread to Bei China. This is the only request before I die, so please grant it. ”

"Preparation? Why Bizhong? When Masahiro heard that the other party actually mentioned Bizhong, he was immediately surprised.

"My lord doesn't know, at this time, the family and the clan are under house arrest by the Maori family in Saita Castle in China, if this news can be transmitted back, then the family and the clan will have a chance to survive." The Assassin immediately explained.

"What? What did you say? You say that the Maori family has extended its power to China? Zhengliang immediately exclaimed.

"Oh, I'm afraid that the repair doctor-sama doesn't know what to do, but the power of the Maori family and the Ouchi family has invaded the south-central region of Bigo, Bichu, and even Misaku, respectively." The assassin replied with a wry smile.

"Misaku? Even Misaku has arrived? Masahiro stood up.

Shocked, really shocked. Historically, it would have been years before the Maori family could extend their power to these areas, but now it's much earlier. Nima's, it's not scientific. And Masara also felt that he was too careless, and the surveillance of the Maori family was only placed in Yasaki Kuni, and during this time, he also focused his energy on the local Kyushu, but ignored the future enemy of Maori Yuan. Now it is too careless to wait until Maori Yuan has calculated on himself to find out the problem.

"Who the hell is Your Excellency?" Calming down, Masato became more and more interested in the person in front of him. To be able to understand the previous situation of the Maori family so clearly, the origin of this person must not be simple.

"Hey, in Shimotsu and the main Takeuchi Nakawu Daisuke Hisamori." Seeing that Masato repeatedly asked about his origins, the assassin had no choice but to report his home, otherwise it would be impossible to agree to his dying request once the other party was unhappy.

"Misasaka Kuniku and Shrine no Sejo?" When Zhengliang heard this, he immediately asked rhetorically.

Takeuchi Nakabu Daisuke Hisamori didn't expect Masarashi to know his origin, and immediately replied with a little surprise: "It's Mimasaka Kuniku and the lord of Goichi no Se Castle. ”

"It turned out to be this cowman. No wonder the martial arts are so strong. After hearing the other party's confirmation. The political conscience immediately said to himself. Who is Hisamori Takeuchi? In later generations, he was also named a master of swordsmanship. He single-handedly founded Takeuchi-ryu Jiu-Jitsu, which has been passed down to future generations. This Takeuchi-ryu jutsu is a martial art that is based on the main skills of "Koguashi (short sword)", "broken hand (jiu-jitsu)", and "stick jutsu", and includes "saishou (swordsmanship)", "sword drawing", "razor", and "lock". Among them, the focus of the genre is "small guzu (short knife technique)". His two sons are also martial arts masters, especially his second son Takeuchi Hisakatsu, who later went to Kyoto with the practice of martial arts, and Sekihaku Toyotomi Hideji called him to perform his skills, which was quite appreciated, and was known as "the first catcher in the world". Takeuchi Hisakatsu returned to his hometown in his later years to open a museum and teach apprentices, and there are still many martial arts descendants. It's just such a family. How did they fall to the point of being coerced into becoming an assassin by the Maori family?

Takeuchi Hisamori also seemed to see Masayo's doubts, but said with a wry smile: "The territory under was attacked by the combined forces of the Maori family and the Ouchi family, and the castle Ichinose Castle was even more broken by the other party, and I had to take my family and some of the clansmen to escape from the secret passage when the city was broken, and I was ready to flee to Izumo Country to ask for help from the family of the Zong family, but I didn't want to be caught up by the other party in the middle of the road, and the family and the clansmen were controlled by the other party, and the other party later took the lives of the family members and clansmen under the condition that they wanted to come down to assassinate the adults, which is why ......" There is no need for Hisamomori Takeuchi to say anything more about the rest of the matter. Zhengliang also understands it clearly.

"Hehe, maybe Your Excellency still doesn't know what to do. The main family has formed an alliance with the Niko family in Izumo Province not long ago. This person is Torako Shijiro from the important minister of the Nizi family, Yamanaka Mikawa Mori, and at this time he is already a small surname. Masarashi smiled and glanced at Yamanaka Yukimori and said.

"Hey!" Originally, he was coerced to assassinate Luo Zhengliang, who he didn't want to assassinate (in fact, after being defeated by Zhengliang, he already admired Zhengliang very much), he was already ashamed, and now he was even more ashamed to learn that the other party was still an ally of his own clan.

"Your Excellency Fang Cai hopes that the news of your assassination failure will be spread back to China and other regions, presumably in order to let the Maori family fulfill his promise." Masara said again.

"Exactly. I also hope that the repair doctor will be completed, if so, even if he dies, he will be blinded. Takeuchi knelt on the ground and pleaded.

"But is Your Excellency convinced that the Maori family will keep its promise?" Masahiro asked rhetorically.

"This?" was asked by Masaara, Takeuchi Hisamori was indeed asked, and he really hadn't thought about it. At the beginning, Maori Yuan personally swore in front of him that as long as he was willing to assassinate Luo Zhengliang, no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, the Maori family would release his family and clansmen. Martial artists generally attach great importance to their oaths, so Takeuchi Hisamori subconsciously felt that the Maori family would keep this oath.

It's just that Masato doesn't think so, in Masato's opinion, in fact, Maori Yuan is the same type of person as him, and they are all unscrupulous people who want to win. What oath is shit for them. Such a person is a strategist if he says it well, and a conspirator if he doesn't say it well. But it is precisely such a person who can survive in this Warring States period where big fish eat small fish and go down.

"Hmph, let me tell you the story of the Yoshikawa family, a former retainer of the Mori family, who defected to my family." Immediately afterwards, Masarashi told Takeuchi Hisamori about how to establish the Ryokawa system.

"Well, do you still believe that the Maori family will keep their previous vows?" Seeing Takeuchi Hisamori's increasingly disastrous face, Masara asked rhetorically again.

"This? How can this be? After listening to Masayo's narration, Takeuchi Hisamori has become a master of the six gods. After losing to Masara in the duel before, Hisamori Takeuchi was already convinced that Masato was a true martial arts master. Martial arts masters will never lie, which is caused by a mental state that stems from their pursuit of martial arts. Takeuchi Hisamori is already convinced that Masara has reached such a realm, so naturally he will not deceive him (well, it is estimated that only the warriors of this era will have such thoughts, if you were an ordinary person in the next generation, you would have been treated as an idiot a long time ago). In this way, it was only he who was deceived by Maori Yuan, so he naturally became nervous. Pity a forty-year-old man, who lost his square inch when Zhengliang said this.

Looking at Takeuchi Hisamori's panicked expression (it is estimated that it is also caused by the collapse of the samurai understanding system, not everyone talks about the spirit of bushido, not to mention that the spirit of bushido is also in the early days at this time, and it only reached its peak in the Edo period, when some samurai ran to the door of people's homes to threaten seppuku at every turn), Masara knew that his goal had been achieved, so he immediately threw out the bait:

"Your Excellency, you can still try your best to rescue your family and clansmen."

"What? Repair doctor, that's true. Hisamomori Takeuchi seemed to find a life-saving straw in the surging waves, and immediately asked.

"I had to do my best. However, if my family can save your family and clansmen, I hope that you can agree to the next condition. Masato said.

"Please repair the doctor, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can do it, you will do your best." Knowing that there is still hope for the continuation of his family bloodline, Takeuchi Hisamori is naturally willing to agree to anything. Anyway, even doing something as humiliating as being an assassin has been done, so what can't be done? (To be continued......)
