Time went back to more than half a month ago, and on this day, a special guest came to Inabayama Castle in Mino Province.

This guest was none other than the Luo family's pharmacist Kuaikawa Shaoxi.

Previously, after the Imagawa family and the Saito family came to Hizen Province in Kyushu at the same time to ask to see Masara, Masara did not respond immediately to the handwritten letter submitted by the envoy of the Imagawa family, after all, although Shou Guini proposed in the letter that he hoped that with the help of the Luo family, the Imagawa family, which had been divided at this time, could be integrated again, but at this time, even after merging with the Imagawa family of Suruga Province, Imagawa Burial Zero would not completely occupy the advantage, in this case, wouldn't it be more beneficial for the Luo family to keep it as it was?

As a result, Masarashi naturally sent away the envoy of the Suruga Imagawa family under the pretext that "this is an internal affair of the Imagawa family, and as an outsider, it is not suitable to intervene".

As for the request made by the envoy of the Saito family to hope that the Luo family could send a doctor to help an important person of the Saito family, Masarashi instantly thought of the information about Mino Province that had been transmitted back before, and the rumors of Saito Yoshiryu's illness were mentioned in the information, combined with the situation about the Saito family that Masarashi knew in his previous life, Masarashi basically instantly determined that the "important person of the Saito family" mentioned by the envoy of the Saito family was referring to Saito Yoshiryu himself.

For Mao Liyuan, who is close to him, and is scheming and even taking advantage of the opportunity of the envoy to calculate the Luo family's strategy, when he asks for medical help, Masashi naturally will not help, but for the Saito family, which is far away from the Luo family's territory, and Masato instantly thought of some plans against the Saito family. Naturally, Masarashi agreed to the request of the envoy of the Saito family.

After some deliberation with some important ministers. Soon after, Masarashi finally sent several people led by Shoki Kusakawa to the Saito family in Mino Province.

And half a month ago. Shoki Kuaikawa and the others finally arrived at the Saito family's Inabayama Castle, and were given a grand welcome and hospitality by the Saito family. Looking at the city in front of him, Kuaichuan Shaoxi felt a lot.

You know, more than ten years ago, at that time, Kuaikawa Shaoxi was still practicing in the temple near this castle, but because of the intrigue in the temple, he finally had to leave the temple, and then began his journey to travel all over the Warring States. It was this trip that led him to meet the Luo family governor Luo Masashi in Kyushu, and at his invitation, he became the official minister of the Luo family dealing with temples and shrines in various places, and also worked part-time as a doctor of the Luo family.

Now, after more than ten years, he suddenly has the opportunity to re-set foot in his hometown, and he is naturally in a complicated mood. But before he could continue to feel it, the Saito family secretly arranged for him to go and help Saito Yoshiryu heal.

Although he was indeed a little surprised when he learned that the person he came to heal this time was actually the Saito family governor himself. But after seeing Yoshiryu Saito's condition, he quickly stepped into his role. This time the mission. The governor of the family, Luo Shi, Masara, just asked him to do his duty as a physician to treat people's diseases, and the rest of the affairs were left to the few entourages around him, so he naturally treated Saito Yoshiryu very single-mindedly.

What Kuaikawa Shaoxi didn't know was that half a month after he arrived at Inabayama Castle, a team of more than a dozen people also quietly came to the vicinity of Inabayama, where Inabayama Castle is located.

Mt. Inaba, where Inabayama Castle is located, is also known as Mt. Inoguchi or Mt. Kinkayama in the historical records of the same era. Inoguchi is a graphic description of the topography of Mt. Inaba, and the castle town under the mountain is called Inoguchi Town. Just like the wellhead, the flat area on the hill is small, which is not convenient for building a city. For more than 200 years, from the 13th century to the mid-15th century, there was only one castle on the mountain, and it was built by one of the thirteen members of the collegial system of the Kamakura shogunate, Hojo Tokimasa, and Oehiromoto. His son Iga Mitsumune and his younger brother Inaba Mitsuji served as the lords successively, and Iga Mitsumune and Inaba Mitsushi were the direct ancestors of the Ando family and the Inaba family respectively. The Ando family can still be called the Iga family, and Mamoru Ando has another name in history called Iga Mamoru Igamori. After the death of his fifth grandson, Nikaido Yukito, Inabayama was abandoned until the mid-15th century, when it was rebuilt as a residence by Mino's guardian Daisaito Toshinaga, and it became a famous castle in the world that guards Higashiyamado to the east of Kyoto.

With the continuous addition and reinforcement of each generation of the Saito family, by this time, this world-famous city had also become a perfect city, and the eleven gates of the outer city were tightly guarded, and the city walls were even more impregnable! There is a watchtower or corner tower less than 20 zhang, and even in the place where the back is close to the cliff, the city wall is as high as two zhang, which is very steep.

Of course, even the most solid and steep city has its own shortcomings.

"Is there really a way to get to the cliffs above?" Among the dozen or so people, one of the old men looked up at the walls of Inabayama Castle on a high cliff and asked a young man beside him.

This old man is the former governor of the Saito family, Saito Michizo, this year Saito Michizo is more than sixty years old, and in the era of the Warring States period, he is already a long-lived person. After Nohime's disappearance and contact with the Luo family, he was able to escape with his family members during Saito Yoshiryu's rebellion, thus changing his tragic fate in history and gaining a life.

After escaping Mino's territory, Michizo Saito and his family settled in a village near Kyoto with the support of the Luo family. Not long ago, Oda Nobunaga, the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had defeated Kamiraku, secretly met with Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, and after secretly meeting with the shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru, Oda Nobunaga had a three-way meeting with Saito Michizo and the envoys of the Luo family, and finally discussed the tripartite cooperation.

Of course, even with the help of these two sons-in-law this time, Saito Michizo always thought that he didn't know if he would be able to return to Mino Province in his lifetime, after all, the most powerful son-in-law, Luo Shimasara, was far away in Kyushu, and even if his power had already reached the Kyoto area, it was still difficult to help him return to Mino Country. As for his son-in-law Oda Nobunaga, although he defeated Imagawa Yoshimoto, after all, Oda Nobunaga has only unified Owari Province for several years, and he has just fought a fierce battle with the Imagawa family, and his power is really limited, at least for now, it can't be compared with the Mino Province controlled by the rebel son Saito Yoshiryu.

However, to Saito Michizo's surprise, just when his wish was hopeless, the envoy of the Luo family suddenly found him and told him that Saito Yoshiryu was seriously ill, and the Luo family would take this opportunity to help Saito Michizo return to Mino Province.

Michizo Saito, who suddenly got the news, was naturally shocked, first of all, he was both sad and happy with the news that his son Yoshiryu Saito was seriously ill, and secondly, he was also shocked by the ability of the Luo family to get the news.

However, no matter how shocked he was in his heart, he still left his family in a secluded place for the time being, and secretly returned to Mino Province with the people of the Luo family, and on this day secretly came to the vicinity of Inabayama Castle.

Previously, he learned from the young man next to him that there was a secret passage into Inabayama Castle, and he naturally didn't believe it, after all, he had lived in the city for most of his life, and he was very clear about the situation in Inabayama Castle.

"Oh! There is a large mass of shrubs on the edge of the cliff......" Faced with Saito Michizo's question, the young man said very indifferently, "The back of the shrubs looks like a stone wall, but it is actually a sheep's intestine path. It was stepped out by the herb pickers, and he had been there four or five times before he settled in the neighborhood! ”

"Send someone to investigate!" Saito Michizo still didn't believe it, so he said to the envoy of the Luo family beside him. The latter immediately sent someone to investigate, and the result was, as the young man had said, that there was indeed a path behind the bushes.

"Who the hell is Your Excellency?" After getting the result, Saito Michizo was silent for a while, and it was better to ask the young man.
