Outside the corner tower of Shikoku Iyo Kuniyu and the Saionji family of Saionji Castle, Koede spreads out its dense foliage. Above the newly renovated earthen wall, a bright moon hung high, and the sound of frogs could be heard in the distance.

"It's late at night, get up and get ready to go." In the darkness, a voice suddenly sounded. The owner of this voice is none other than the Luo family's mission to the Shikoku region. After learning the location of the residence of the envoy of the Otomo family, he discussed with Ahri and the others during the day about the courtyard where the envoy of the Otomo family would be attacked tonight.

"Look down, you still wait here for news, let me wait for a shot." In the darkness, Ahri's voice was heard.

"Ha Luha, don't underestimate Wu Yong below, I've experienced a lot of thrills outside in the past few years." Kizo Shigetuda refused with a smile, "Besides, only when the guards of the Saiyuan Temple family who are in charge of guarding will be slow to react. ”

"Unresponsive?"

"Why, haven't you seen it yet? Do you think that with just a little money, you can get the news that the retainers of the Saionji family, who have always been united to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, will betray the news of the residence of the envoy of the Otomo family to us? Kizo Shigetuda asked rhetorically.

"Did they leak it to us on purpose?" Ahri also came to his senses at this time.

"It's natural. It is estimated that these retainers are also a little dissatisfied with the hesitation of the family governor Saionji, they obviously do not want to form an alliance with the Otomo family, which has invaded them and is declining at this time. It is estimated that as long as there is an accident in the courtyard of the Otomo family's envoys, not only will they not immediately send people to the rescue, but they will even deliberately delay the time to come to the rescue. Kizo Shigetada said.

"No wonder those guards were so lax when I went to investigate near the residence of the envoy of the Otomo family today." Ahri also agreed with Kizo Shigetada's analysis at this time.

"Alright. Let's go. Suddenly, there was a slight sound of clothes being arranged in the darkness. And then there was a "squeak". The wooden door of the room was pushed open, and several black shadows disappeared into the hallway in an instant. In the distance, several Xiyuan Temple soldiers who were in charge of guarding were still asleep at this time. Maybe they had already been instructed, for the Luo family envoys in this courtyard, there was no need to deliberately monitor them, they just needed to act like guards, so they slept peacefully at this time.

Under the moonlight, Kizo Shigetada, Ahri and the others first met up with several black eagles who had been ambushing them at the predetermined location, and then went straight to the residence of the Otomo family envoy.

"Who?" After carefully bypassing a few Saionji soldiers. Kizo Shigetada, Ahri and others were eventually discovered by two samurai on duty in the Otomo family. By the moonlight, everyone could see the brilliance of the katana in their hands.

"Murderer!" Kizo Shigetada swung his long knife and slashed down the two samurai, and rushed to the gate of the courtyard: "Kill not one, kill them all."

"Hey!" Black Eagle and the warriors of the Luo family rushed into the courtyard. The sound of a fight immediately sounded in the courtyard of Otomo's house.

"Leave the two of you here, you can go in too, and I'll leave it to you." Kizo Shigetuda then said.

"Good!" Ahri didn't say anything more, and after leaving two samurai to guard Kizo Shigetada, he also took the rest of the men to kill him.

"Who are you?" At this time, the soldiers of Xiyuan Temple on the periphery were awakened by the sound of fighting, and they also rushed to the front of the courtyard.

"I am the envoy of the Luo family, this matter is a dispute between the family and the Otomo family, please do not approach, otherwise it will be regarded as a war against the Luo family." Kizo Shigezhong immediately shouted.

More than a dozen soldiers from Xiyuan Temple immediately looked at each other. I don't know what to do for a while, but it's better to have a striking guy who asks not to act rashly for the time being. It is best to send someone to inform the governor first. The idea was immediately agreed by the rest of the crowd.

When the sleeping Saionji Minoru received the news that the envoy of the Otomo family was attacked by the envoy of the Luo family, the fight in the courtyard of the envoy of the Otomo family was completely over.

"Damn, really hateful!" Ahri, covered in blood, walked out with a few people, but it seemed that the results were not very good.

Seeing this, Muzo Chongzhong secretly said in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, the people inside have all run away?" ”

"I only killed a few people, but I didn't find the usur." Ahri replied a little dejected. Usuki Jiansu is the main general of the envoy of the Otomo family's visit to the Shikoku region, and Ahri followed Kizo Shigetada to Shikoku this time, in addition to being responsible for protecting Kizo Shigetada, there is also a mission to find an opportunity to assassinate Usuki. It's just that the life of this mortar Jiansu is too hard, and he can always escape a catastrophe. This made Ahri, who had already failed once when Zhou Fang assassinated Otomo Yoshijin, very frustrated.

"Did you really let him escape? It is estimated that it has only been left for a short time, and it should still be nearby, so I can deal with this place, so you can immediately bring someone to chase and kill. After hearing this, Kizo Shigezhong thought for a moment and immediately suggested.

"This? Not okay? Ahri was also quite moved when he heard this, but he thought that his first priority this time was to ensure the safety of Kizo Shigetada, so he hesitated again.

Just when Ahri hesitated, the slightly disheveled Saionji Minoru finally arrived, "Lord Muzo, what do you mean by this?" ”

Facing the already angry Xiyuan Temple, Mu Zao Chongzhong stood there calmly, and said lightly: "I heard that the Lord of Xiyuan Temple is a little hesitant, and I just help the Lord choose for the next one." ”

Just when Kizo Shigetuda caused a big trouble for Saionji Minorutsu, Masayo, who had been inspecting the Luo family's territory for a while, also rushed back to Kishidake Mountain Castle because of the temporary arrival of a few Kyoto guests in the territory.

"I have heard recently, there is a Western samurai Luo clan Zhengliang, loyalty, bravery, benevolence and righteousness......" In the review room, Konoe sat on the main seat for a long time, and the retainers were on both sides. Masarashi himself knelt in the middle of the hall and bowed to the 'angels', as if he was listening respectfully to the 'sound of heaven'.

Konoe was dressed very ceremoniously today, but Masayo always felt that there was something discordant. Thinking carefully about the image of the high-ranking minister in the image, it turned out that Konoe had no legendary white face for a long time, shaved eyebrows, and black teeth. In fact, not all ministers in the Warring States period had to rub powder and paint their teeth. Masashi was misled by the cultural misunderstandings of later generations.

The 'angel' read the last sentence with an unusually solemn expression: "...... Today, I am awarded the position of repair doctor from the four, and I hope to fulfill my loyalty and not live up to my hopes! ”

"Minister, thank the emperor for his grace!" After giving the salute, Masashi passed the holy decree in his hand. "Please go to the back to take a bath and rest first, and I have arranged a banquet for you."

"There is labor!" After a long time ago, the guard exchanged a glance with one of the people beside him, and immediately said, "If you are inferior, you will be brazen to bother the repair doctor." (To be continued......)
