The scuffle under the castle of the Dono family, Yunoo, which lasted for nearly ten days, finally came to an end. The Dono family, who was confronting the two coalition forces of the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family, suddenly withdrew their troops, and at this point, the two allied forces of the Akasaka family and the Tateishi family officially and completely occupied Yuno Castle, and the territory of the Dono family was reduced by one-third after this battle, and the loss of the people was serious, and the overall strength was greatly damaged.

When Masato received the news, it was already May 21. According to Zhengliang's original plan, he was ready to fish in troubled waters, but looking at the current situation of the Luo family, it was obvious that he was powerless, and he could only watch the opportunity pass.

"It is understood that the main reason for the withdrawal of the Dono family was that the Haoqiang Kamikura family, across the river, had to retreat to ensure the safety of the main city, Tanoo Castle," reported Ichinoyu, who had just been replaced by Onishi Kuniji from Hira Castle.

"Then, there may be an accident over there", Zhengliang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Yinuo, you immediately arrange a few people over there, focus on monitoring the situation of a few Haoqiang, and report back immediately if there is an abnormality." At the same time, Onishi Kuniji was informed to relocate the remaining 25 ashigaru of Hira Castle back to the camp near the lord's mansion, and to be ready to deal with it at any time. ”

"Yes, Your Highness", Yinuo bowed and turned to leave.

"Your Highness", Yinuo had just left, and the Luo family's official official Mu Zao Chongzhong walked in quickly, "Good news! At the checkpoint, the messenger of the Yobuko family came. ”

"Huh?" , Zhengliang was quite surprised, the war has been over for two days, and the nearby Haoqiang has not moved at all, and it seems that he has not yet reacted from the shock, but now it is the Huzi family, which is separated from the Luo family by several Haoqiang territories, that has taken the lead in taking action, which is really surprising, "Huzi family? It seems that it is at least two days away from my home. ”

"Your Highness, your record of sweeping the five powerful families in half a month has now spread all over the east of Zhanggao Mountain, even if there is no news for the time being to the west of Yegao Mountain because the main road is controlled by the family, but I think you will soon be able to know the Dao from the sea", Kizo Shigetuda saw that Masahiro's face was full of doubts, and immediately said with a smile, "Your Highness, you are now famous, which makes the surrounding heroes fearful." ”

"Even so, for the Huzi family, which has nearly 200 standing samurai in the family and has long controlled the sea communication arteries of Xuanjietan, this family is really very small, why did they suddenly send an envoy here?" , Masashi said.

"Hehe, Your Highness, Your Majesty guesses that it should be related to the conflict of the Sashi family," Kizo Shigetada said.

"Oh?" , Masashi obviously didn't know that there was a conflict between the Huzi family and the Sashi family.

"A month ago, the merchant ship of the Yomiko family was attacked near Karatsu Bay, and all the finances were looted, and this incident even alarmed the Hakata, the overlord of Higashi Matsuura, but in the end, it was impossible to find out who did it", Kizo Shigetada saw that Masayo seemed to be very interested in this, and immediately continued to introduce, "But the Yomiko family insisted that it was the Sashi family who did it, and of course the Sashi family, who has been competing with the Yomiko family for the second supremacy of Higashi Matsuura, will not admit it, so the two families have been in a state of tension recently." ”

"You mean to say that the arrival of the envoy of the Huzi family is mainly in the hope that the family will contain the Sashi family from the side?" , Masato thought for a moment, and then asked.

"Yes, Your Highness," Kizo Shigetadada bowed and said, "It turns out that this family cannot enter the eyes of the Yoruko family, but the family has recently won a series of battles, and the family name has spread all over Higashimatsuura, which just meets the requirements of the Yomiko family." ”

"It seems that it's not a good thing to be too famous", becoming someone else's pawn for no reason, Masato is obviously a little uncomfortable, and even thinking about whether to use the excuse to not see the messenger of the Huzi family.

"Your Highness, this is an opportunity for the further strengthening of this family!" Seeing that the political conscience was heavy, Mu Zao Zhong knew that his opportunity had come, and immediately bowed down and said. …,

"Stronger? Let's talk about it", hearing Kizo's words, Masahiro raised his head and said.

"At present, the Haoqiang near the east of the house is mainly divided into two camps, the Taijiu family, the Nagasura family and the Huko family are good, and the name is good with the Sashi family, at present, these families, except for the Sashi family, which has the strength to directly defeat the family, the rest of the family and the strength of the family are about the same, or even inferior to the family", Kizo Shigetada said, "And the Taijiu family and the Nagakura family have an in-law relationship, and the side room of the sister-in-law of the Nagakura family is the eldest daughter of Taikubo Yoshi, although the two families have been secretly at odds, but after the strong appearance of the family, It is likely that they will join forces with their own families; And the Sashi family is even more eyeing Nakao Castle, if it weren't for the Huzi family to keep getting in the way, this place would have been occupied by the Sashi family a long time ago. ”

I didn't expect the relationship between these powerful families to be so complicated, especially the Taijiu family, which can really be described as a veteran of marriage diplomacy. Masaro nodded, motioning for Kizo Shigetada to continue.

"Your Highness, judging from the current situation, it is inevitable that the Yomiko family will clash with the Sashi family, and the main family is taking advantage of this opportunity to obtain assistance from the Yokoko family, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity to weaken several nearby heroes", seeing Masara signaling himself to continue, Kizo Shigetada looked even more excited.

"Okay, the more chaotic it is, the more fighters there are," Masarashi said with a smile, "Chongzhong, you go down and make arrangements, I will meet the envoy of the Huzi family here." "Since the water is not muddy enough now, then let the Luo family stir it up.

"Yes, Your Highness", Kizo Shige bowed down to receive the order.

After a while, accompanied by Muzo Chongzhong, a white-haired old man slowly came to the front of Zhengliang, the old man seemed to be very calm, first glanced at the environment of the council hall, and then looked at Zhengliang for a long time, and only bowed slightly after the last and said, "The foreign minister Huzijia Daishi Zhiman has seen His Highness. ”

"Hehe, Lord Oishi doesn't have to be polite", after hearing the other party's self-introduction, Masashi couldn't help but be stunned, this guy may not be known by many people, but his son betrayed the Hakata family in the future and became a retainer of the clan who dominated Tsushima Island, and Oishi Tomohisa, who is known as the first fierce general of the clan. This family really has a tradition of changing the main family, and when the Bojia family entered the Huzi family in the future, it was the old man in front of him who turned against the Huzi family, and later when the Bojia family fell into civil strife, his son fell to the Zongjia again.

After the old man sat down on his knees, he stared at Masahiro without hesitation, as if even one of the eyebrows on Masahiro's face was ready to look carefully. Seeing the other party's seemingly rude behavior, Masahiro remained calm on the surface, but he snickered slightly in his heart, do you want to play psychological warfare with me? Old fellow, you really can't fight me from the next generation. In this way, the two people, one seemed to observe each other with interest, and the other smiled slightly, as if he did not mind the other's rudeness. There was a brief silence in the chamber.

Seeing such a scene, Muzo Shigezhong, who was sitting at the bottom, was excited at the moment, his head of the family was really not an ordinary person, and he must have an unlimited future in the future.

"Haha, that's really the case", Oishi Tomomitsu suddenly laughed, and then saluted respectfully to Zhengliang, "The foreign minister heard that a young and promising Haoqiang has recently appeared in the neighborhood for too long, and it is rumored that he will defeat several Haoqiang in half a month, and he is immediately surprised, so he came to visit today." ”

Hearing the other party's praise, Zhengliang smiled slightly, which was regarded as a response.

"I didn't expect to see it today, it's really admirable. The foreign minister now fully believes the truth that the Taijiu family said", Oishi Tomomitsu seemed to not mind Masayo's silence, and still said with a smile, "I wonder if His Royal Highness Lu Dao can tell the foreign minister whether the Luo family has completely controlled the territory of several families?" ”

"Hey! Oishi-sama, you've seen the situation in your family, right? Instead of answering the other party's question directly, Masahiro lowered his head and sighed, then pointed to the surroundings of the council hall, and finally said, "Even the place where you meet your guests is so simple, it can be seen that the family is still extremely weak." In fact, the current council hall where Zhengliang is located is indeed very simple, the interior can only accommodate a few people to discuss meetings, and the exterior wall is dilapidated, and there are even a few small holes. Even all the cities in the Luo family's territory are strictly speaking, they are just enlarged and strengthened versions, and so far there is no place that can really be called a castle. …,

Seeing the old and young people talking about the truth and falsehood, Mu Zao Zhongzhong on the side couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, they are all foxes, an old fox, and a little fox.

"It seems that His Highness also has self-knowledge", seeing that Masashi was crying poor, Oishi Zhiman directly agreed, and then straightened up, his face instantly became solemn, "Your Highness, do you know that the crisis of the Luo family is coming?" ”

Zhengliang was already ready to deal with the other party's approving words after crying poor, but he didn't expect the other party to directly agree with his humble words, and his heart was stunned for a moment, but he quickly adjusted, after hearing the other party's most dear words, Zhengliang said that today's topic came, and he also straightened his body, looked at each other, and seemed to be waiting for the other party's next words.

"Your Highness", Oishi Tomoman bowed and saluted again, "The Zuozhi family has always had the ambition to encroach here, and in this regard, His Highness must be very clear, with the current strength of the Luo family, it is impossible to stop the Zuozhi family." Today, the foreign minister is here to relieve His Highness's crisis. ”

"Please teach Oishi-sama", Masarashi immediately pretended to be very eager, and said quickly.

"I wonder what His Highness Lu Dao thinks of the Huzi family?" , Seeing that the other party was so upright, Oishi Zhiman obviously felt that his son could be taught.

"As the overlord of Higashi Matsuura after the Hakata family, the Yoruko family cannot be discussed," Masayo bowed and saluted.

"Hahaha, yes, how can the Huzi family be comparable to a small tyrant like the Sashi family", after hearing Masaliang's answer, Oishi Tomomitsu was even happier, "Now that the Sashi family is invading everywhere, it has obviously become the public enemy of Higashi Matsuura, I wonder if the Luo family has ever thought of joining the camp of the family and jointly crusading against the Sashi family?" ”

"This ......", Masara seemed to be moved, but he hesitated slightly, and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if this is what Yomiko Otomo-sama meant?" ”

"Ha Lu haha, no, this is just the meaning of the foreign minister for the time being", Oishi Zhiman Ha Lu laughed, "The foreign minister was ordered by the young master to go to Taijiu's house to discuss the marriage this time, and it happened to know His Royal Highness's amazing achievements, and he temporarily decided on this idea." But please rest assured, presumably His Highness's proud achievements have now been known by the head of the family, and the head of the family will definitely be happy to facilitate this matter, and even give the Luo family some assistance. ”

"Then please Oishi-sama," Masarashi immediately bowed and saluted. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and Masashi is eager for the help of the Huzi family......

Just as the Luo family and the Huzi family were secretly discussing cooperation, the neighbors of the Luo family fell into a tense atmosphere.

In a wooden house on the shore of Lake Desong, two men in black are secretly discussing.

"You're saying that none of the people who sent them have returned?" , the tall and thin man sitting on the throne asked.

"Yes, Chief, the little one has sent a few people to secretly sneak into the other party's territory from the mountain path, but they are all gone, and now his subordinates are not willing to sneak in again", said a man with a scar on his face.

"Forget it, if you send someone in, it is estimated that the result will be the same. What information has been obtained now? ", said the tall and thin man.

"The information of each family on the Luo family is different, and some rumors say that the Luo family has destroyed several powerful families; There are rumors that the Luo family and the Chongliang family formed an alliance and jointly defeated several others; Some even say that the Luo family has a special connection with the bandits of Banshi Dalang," said the man with the scars on his face.

"Slate Stone?" , Hearing the news of the mountain bandits, the tall and thin man clenched his fists with both hands, obviously having a deep grudge with the other party, "What's wrong with the three guards?" ”

"It's been a long time since I've heard from the Notaka Mountain Bandits, and Sanbei can't sit still a little bit," the man with the scar on his face said immediately. …,

"Hmph, eat things inside and out, don't alarm him yet, I'll see who else has a connection with Banshi Dalang behind my back", the tall and thin man snorted lightly, "Inform the other leaders to come here to discuss, so that the people below don't go to sea recently, and the few guys in the vicinity are not stable recently." ”

"The leader ......," the man with the scar on his face said in a slurred voice, "When the little one came to report to the chief, he saw Sun Goro taking people out to sea on the way. ”

"What? Damn it", hearing that someone had violated his rules, the tall and thin man was furious, "Quick, let people chase him back, if he doesn't come back, he will ......". The tall and thin man's voice stopped abruptly, yes, if Sun Wulang insisted on not coming back, the tall and thin man obviously had nothing to do, after all, he was just the nominal leader of these people......

Too long home, Jiubao City.

"Father, father," Taikubo Yoshi, who was checking the tea bowl sent by the Yomiko family in the council hall, suddenly heard a hurried shout from outside the door, and the tea bowl in his hand almost fell, and he was immediately furious, "Why are you panicking?" Taro, why can't you always change this habit? ”

"Yes... I'm sorry, Father", Haruharu Okubo immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Say, what's going on", seeing his son's panicked appearance, Okubo shook his head slightly.

"Father, my little sister is gone!" , Haruharu Taikubo said immediately.

"What?" , Taikubo Yoshishi stood up with a "whoosh". It's no wonder that he lost his temper, his youngest daughter has been an invincible bargaining chip for too long, and now that he is suddenly gone, can he settle down? In fact, after receiving a report from his son who had fled home in a hurry on May 18, Okubo Yoshishi was taken aback and immediately had a premonition that the newly emerging Roche family would seriously threaten the Taijiu family.

In the past few days, in addition to arranging to strengthen the protection of the border between the territory and the Luo family, Taikubo has been locking himself in the house and thinking hard about countermeasures. At this time, the old minister of the Huzi family, Tomomitsu Oishi, came to urge the marriage on the order of the young master, and Taikubo Yoshi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately agreed to the other party's request, preparing to send his little daughter to Huko's house in the next few days.

For the youngest daughter, although Taikubo Yoshishi was a little reluctant in his heart, he could only make sacrifices for the stability of his family for too long. After becoming the in-laws of the Huzi family, the surrounding Haoqiang, especially the mysterious Luo family, even if they plan to intrude on the family, must think carefully about how to withstand the anger of the Huzi family.

Just when Taikubo Yoshishi was complacent about his clever move, he suddenly received a report that his little daughter was missing, and he could still sit there, so he immediately shouted, "Quick, mobilize everyone to find me, close all the barriers in the territory, and find Sakurahime no matter what." ”

"Yes", the crowd outside the council hall immediately took the order and left. With an order from Taikubo Yoshi, the entire territory suddenly became in a commotion.
