Chapter 176 Parties
Yoshida Shigemasato thought about Masara's invitation and finally proposed the conditions that Masarato must often discuss archery with him. Masarato agreed happily. Isn't this exactly what he hoped? And now he can also improve his understanding of archery while discussing with Yoshida Shigemasato and make his archery more powerful. Why not do it?
In this way, Yoshida Shigemasaki officially became the archery teacher of the Luo family. Masaru was very happy. Not only did he add a powerful general to the Luo family, but he also solved the problem of archer training in territory. After all, the skills Masaru now masters are more suitable for people with relatively high skills to learn, and those sage and low-level samurai who have not even reached their basic skills level cannot be taught. Yoshida Shigemasaki's arrival just solved this problem.
Just when Masaraki officially recruited Yoshida Shigemasa and carried out territorial construction in the Luo family, in the Hirado Matsuura Castle of the Hirado Matsuura family, the head of the Matsuura family, Matsuura Mitsunomasa discussed with the important minister of the family, Akatsuki Natsuta.
"How is it? What is the response of the Luo family to our letters?" asked Matsuura Mitsunobu, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Sir, the Luo family has agreed to the request of our family," replied Tian Anjing, who was in his heart. In fact, he had objections to this matter. He had always been responsible for discussing marriage and alliance with the Luo family, but now the head of the family sent someone to send a letter that might anger the other party without knowing him, which cast a shadow on the alliance between the two families.
"Do you think this is done inappropriately?" Matsuura Mitsunobu said lightly.
"My subordinates are worried that this move may cause dissatisfaction with the Luo family in their hearts," said Lanshoutian Anjing truthfully.
"Send out the pearl of our family. What I hope to gain is the surrender of the other party." Matsuura Mitsunobu looked up at Ansuke of Candai and said, "If it is an eagle that cannot be followed, it must be eradicated as soon as possible."
"My sir, is this letter a test of the Luo family?" An Jing of Lantou immediately reacted.
"Yes, what I want is a Luo family that obeys the rules," Matsuura Mitsunobu nodded and said, "If the Luo family can follow the meaning of the family this time, then there is a need to continue the marriage this time. If the Luo family ignores it, then the Luo family will suffer."
"This..." An Jing Tian of the clan was a little confused about the second half of the words of the head of the family. According to the geographical environment, if the Matsuura family planned to punish the Luo family, they would have to attack from the water. But the final result was that the Luo family would lose the maritime business road, and the blow to the Luo family was not a big blow. With the current strength of the Matsuura family, they had no time to land and then guide the other party from land.
"Hmph, the Huzi family, who had just been defeated by our family, seems to be incompatible with the Luo family. Our family can help the Huzi family to release the punishment of the Luo family." Matsuura Mitsunobu saw the doubts of the retainers and said coldly.
"The Huzi family was defeated by our family and they must have hated us. It is really unwise to assist us." As an old minister who served the Matsuura family for two generations, Anjingao of the Lotus family said the risks of the decision-making of the family leader without any hesitation. "What's more, the Luo family has obeyed the rules of our family's request. Based on the interests of our family, it is best to assist the Luo family to continue to suppress the Huzi family."
"Well, punishing the Luo family is just a helpless act. Since the Luo family is willing to surrender this time, then of course our family must support it." Matsuura Mitsunobu seemed to be indifferent to his retainers' blunt statements.
"Then... sir..." An Jing of Lanshou looked at the head of the family and said.
"You can continue to discuss the marriage with the Luo family and finish the marriage as soon as possible." Understand that the retainer was consulting his decision, Matsuura Mitsunobu nodded and decided, "Tell the Luo family that the maritime business road controlled by the Matsuura family after the Ri family can pass at will."
"This..." Lengshoutian Anjing immediately understood the intention of the head of the family. This is what Ming Mandarin says, "Give a stick and give a sweet date." Thinking of this, Lengshoutian Anjing immediately bowed to the ground and said, "Sir, wise."
......
But in the Ishihara family's Dashang City, it was a bleak cloud of sorrow.
The civil strife of the Huzi family, which lasted for half a month, finally ended. Due to the continuous gathering of soldiers at the border and the suppression of Hirado Matsuura family, Huzi Masato had to bow his head and surrender and deport all the hostages seized from the separatist family back home.
Seeing the head of the family return, each family breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, shortly after returning to Jucheng, all the hostages who were released fell to the ground and died one after another. It was obviously poisoned. The sudden change caused the brother's family to fall into chaos, especially the family that had not confirmed the heir of the family.
"The most urgent task is to determine the candidate for the family supervisor as soon as possible." The officer and soldier who had finished the matter of the Luo family's mission said decisively. According to his original intention, he was ready to apologize after reporting the details of the mission to the Luo family to the Luo family. Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and before he could meet the family's master, the family's master died.
"No, this must be the plot of the Huzi family. We should mobilize the troops immediately and join forces with the rest of the families to seek justice from the Huzi family." A retainer shouted indignation.
"This move is really unwise, so please ask the young master to come and make a decision." Seeing someone objecting, the officers and soldiers who knew the situation in the family did not continue to argue, but planned to invite the young master to take charge of the overall situation. The young master took care of the family head for a night last night, and went back to his home to rest this morning. At this moment, he didn't know that the head of the family had just died. After the head of the family died, the position of the young master was basically inherited by the young master. In order for the young master to successfully control the rights of the family, it seems that he would secretly suggest sending the second young master to the temple to become a monk.
"Not good." At this moment, the little surname who went to wake up the young master ran back in panic and screamed in a bad mood.
"When will you panic?" The officer and soldier who was already the chief old minister of the family shouted immediately.
"Master... Master, Palace... Your Highness, he..." Xiao surnamed stammered and couldn't speak out.
"Ah" At this moment, a woman's scream came from the young master's room.
Everyone stood up with a whisper and rushed to the place where the young master rested. Through the opened inner door, they saw the young master lying in a pool of blood.
"Ah?" the retainers exclaimed.
"Who did it?" The officer and soldier were furious. Who was so bold that he actually assassinated the heir of the family governor at this time? Could it be the second young master?
"Sir, I just saw the young man running out in a panic." A Xiaoqing, who was responsible for sticking to the gate of the mansion, reported in a low voice. The incident of the young master being assassinated, basically everyone in the mansion was alarmed.
"What?" The officer and soldier were shocked, "No. You are close to each other, hurry up and go to protect the second young master." Since the head of the family and the young master were killed, the second young master became the only heir to the family governor, and his safety cannot be lost.
Within one ri, the head of the Ishihara family was killed by poison, and the young master was assassinated by his retainers, and the entire territory suddenly became panic.
.........
In a dark secret room in Huzi's family.
"What's going on?" A yin's heartfelt voice rang in the darkness.
"Your Highness, the two little surnames who took medicine with the hostages were killed just now," a warrior knelt on the ground and replied in a low voice.
"Hehe, then that is to say, the guys who have returned to their own homes are all dead?" Yin's sarcastic voice sounded again.
"Our family's detective is under close investigation. Once confirmed, they will report back immediately."
"Okay, inform all the retainers to go to the meeting hall immediately. In addition, start mobilizing peasants and soldiers in the territory and prepare to attack at any time."
"Yes, Your Highness" said the warrior, still lowered his head and commanded.
"You go down." After a while of silence, Yin's slandered voice sounded, "Let Youlanwan Wan serve in the inner room and enjoy it tonight."
The warrior took the order, then lowered his head and slowly retreated backwards.
After the warrior left, a low laugh came from the darkness: "Hehehe, let's see how you will compete with me for the position of governor?"
The secret room fell into silence again. After a long time, a black shadow limped out of the secret room step by step.
......
When Masarara received the news from the Matsuura family, he was discussing the construction of territory with Hieji Togo in his mansion.
"Heiji, what do you think of this letter?" Masara asked after handing the letter from Hirado Matsuura family to Hirago Heiji after reading it.
"Your Highness, it seems that the other party intends to make up for the cracks between the two families caused by the previous letter," said Togo Heiji. "In the letter, the Matsuura family promised that our fleet could pass through the sea area under its jurisdiction at will. This is good news. Now, the autumn grain and plowing ox purchased by the Kusura family have been stockpiled in the Kusura family's warehouse. Time has been delayed again and again, which will inevitably arouse the covetousness of other powerful people. Now it is just bypassing the Sashi family through the seaway controlled by the Matsuura family."
"Well. You immediately notify Sun Wulang and Hunatong, and ask them to prepare to bring all the merchant ships and the lord ships of our family, and transport the supplies temporarily placed in the Shenwu family as soon as possible. As for the Shenwu family, you will be responsible for handling the goods," Zhengliang nodded and said.
"In addition, the book has confirmed that the wedding date will be determined in late November. You should prepare for it when you go down, especially the betrothal gifts, as soon as possible." After thinking about it, Masayoshi continued to say. The idea of establishing two main relatives was already conveyed to Hiraji Toyoshi. Although Yu Li was not in line, it was related to the status of his daughter after all, so Heiji Toyoshi also agreed to Masayoshi's approach. Seeing that Heiji Toyoshi, who valued etiquette the most in his family, had no objection, Masayoshi had already confirmed that his decision would no longer be opposed by many people.
"Your Highness" at this time Yinuo hurriedly ran in, "There was an accident in the Ishihara family."
