Outside Kyoto, the Gongsun Chamber of Commerce camp.

Gongsun Xiaobai entered the tent and looked at Musashi Izumio who was kneeling on the side, Amano Fist Guard and others, and were stunned.

"I will introduce it first. They will be my retainers from now on! This one is Musashi Izumizu, and the others are the samurai and ronin I took in!"

Duan Yu sat down on his knees and looked at the clearly divided sides of his hands. He couldn't help but feel a little funny and a little headache.

But there is no way. With the development of Luoding Island in the future, a group of Izumo will definitely appear under his command. It is natural that the emergence of the camp in this small group will be found.

After all, where there are people, there are worlds.

"Musashi Izumimatsu? That master?"

Gongsun Xiaobai gave a solemn greeting, then looked at Duan Yu and smiled, "It turns out that the real person did not return overnight last night, for Master Musashi... I am really impressed by the ability to do everything!"

Gongsun Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh after conquering such a famous swordsman overnight.

"I see Brother Gongsun, you are full of spring breeze, and there is a happy event!"

Duan Yu looked at Gongsun Xiaobai and suddenly asked.

"It was seen by the real person..." Gongsun Xiaobai smiled reservedly, obviously unable to hide it: "Today I was summoned by the Regent, but this time the Regent was very happy. He bought the weapons I was about to sell in one breath. The agreement has been signed, and it was incredibly smooth! After the handover soon, we can return..."

He paused and said, "I think the martial law in Kyoto may have undergone a major change. We, a foreigner, can avoid being involved in it!"

"This is extremely reasonable!"

Duan Yu knew this change very well.

As soon as Fujiwara Masaki died, Pingyuan Sheng's overall plan was immediately broken. At this time, he could only improve the strength of the army regardless of everything, and even prepare to start a war. Even if it was not good, it would be a threat to force.

Gongsun Xiaobai was just right and got a bargain.

He could not imagine that the martial law search in Kyoto was caused by the Duan Zhenren in front of him.

"I have also seen Kyoto scenery and have also recruited a famous knives. I am really satisfied. I just don't know when Gongsun Gongzi will set off?" Duan Yu asked again.

"Three days later, because the goods will be delivered tomorrow, and the Regent will have military exercises the next day, so I will be invited to attend!" Gongsun Xiaobai touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "At this time, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster."

“So hasty?”

Duan Yu seemed to be thinking.

...

The Tianshou Pavilion in Lanzhishan is solemn.

Several of the most favored young surnames were cautious when serving, for fear of angering the Regent.

Since receiving the news of Fujiwara Masaki's death, Pingyuan Mori has been in an exposed mood and has become suspicious of the people around him, suspecting that his secret conversation with the other party was leaked yesterday.

Otherwise, how could someone just negotiated the conditions during the day and was silenced at night?

In addition to this possibility, the other party's retainers have ill-behaved.

According to the thinking of Izumo Kingdom, if there was a young family governor who was secretly hidden by Fujiwara Masaki, and when he heard Fujiwara Masaki's plan to return to the vassal to fight for power, he might really go alone without asking for instructions and kill this old guy!

However, in order to make a decision, he summoned a great Onmyoji and a high monk.

"Regent!"

A Onmyoji who was kneeling said first: "The person who killed the Fujiwara family governor last night was indeed not an assassin, but a demon! And... it is still a very powerful demon. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through the talismans and barriers engraved by the Fujiwara family..."

"A monster?"

Ping Yuan Sheng was stunned. This was a situation I had never thought of before: "Master Qinghai, what do you think?"

"My opinion is like that of Lord Haogu!" The monk named Qinghai nodded silently: "A senior brother of today's Japanese temple spent his life to communicate with Yin Ming and gained enlightenment. Last night, there was indeed an unusual monster walking through Kyoto!"

"This is... but the suspicion of the Fujiwara retainer cannot be ruled out!" Pingyuan Shengfu clapped his palms with paper fan: "The young governor is very suspicious... Perhaps there are foreign vassals involved, especially..."

He looked at the center of Kyoto, and he was ignoring his intentions, and was suspicious of the Izumo royal family.

For motive considerations, he never thought of Duan Yu going there.

After all, a group of Dongchen's businessmen are completely incompatible with the Fujiwara family governors. How could they have a grudge?

"The murderer must step up the investigation, please ask both of you!"

After another discussion, the plains were solemn.

Send the Onmyoji and the monk, and he meets the family's elder Katsura Nagano: "The business with the Gongsun family has been negotiated. You will go to deliver gold and silver tomorrow. After the weapon inspection, you will immediately equip the five thousand troops that were urgently mobilized by my family!"

"Hi, I will do this for you!"

Katsura Nagano responded loudly and saluted respectfully.

"The military exercises for the next day will be left to you, don't let me down!"

After knocking on this family, Ping Yuansheng ordered him to retreat, and suddenly felt a little tired.

This is not that he is already old, but in fact, according to the original historical trajectory, he can live for more than ten years.

But the recent situation is really too treacherous!

The Izumo royal family was ready to move, and the plan to suppress the Fujiwara family changed one after another, forcing him to do his best to protect the Hei family and the foundation of the Regent Izumo!

The only thing that made Pingyuan Sheng happy was that he was still healthy!

And the accumulation of Hei family over the years is far more powerful than that of Fujiwara's sect, both in terms of manpower and material resources.

Although the samurai under his command was a little slackened due to long-term peace, as long as the re-summoned troops were assembled and equipped with elite weapons, they could use the five thousand people as the core to force the vassal lords from all over the country to obey and form an army of tens of thousands to conquer the Fujiwara vassal.

As long as this success is achieved and the royal family can be intimidated by the way, at least twenty years of peace can be achieved!

As for the rest, I can only leave it to my son.

But when he thought of Zhuzi, Ping Yuansheng felt even more painful.

His sons are not good at all. In the end, even if they are taller from a shorter person, they must have just barely managed to achieve success.

...

In Kyoto, rumors about the Fujiwara family being killed and the regent conducting military exercises and the battle to attack the West soon became increasingly rampant.

This did not start in one day, but had already shown signs.

After all, the Izumo country's military system at this time was different from that at the Central Plains, and there was almost no concept of standing soldiers.

Due to the layers of feudal divisions in China, even under the Ping clan, many samurai lords were enthroned.

These warriors are the privileged class. They do not go to the fields to farm every day, but just practice martial arts and are familiar with bows and horses to prepare for battle.

When the lord is summoned, they will summon the militias under their command, most of them are peasants, and they will randomly fire a bamboo gun. The combat power is extremely tragic. Often, a fully armed warrior can defeat more than a dozen such militias.

With such a mobilization mechanism, it is definitely not a matter of gathering the troops overnight, but the military parade is the day after tomorrow, so the Ping clan naturally mobilized early.

At the beginning, Mori Tachibana gathered these samurai, but he just wanted to escort Fujiwara Masaki back to his territory and suppress the Fujiwara family, which had recently expanded rapidly.

But the death of the key figure Fujiwara Masaki made the situation suddenly change.

In order to prevent the Fujiwara family from doing any extreme behavior, it is necessary to deal with it in advance.

Specifically, before the Fujiwara family launched a rebellion, they directly launched a siege, and used the regent order to call on the Izumo vassal lord to fight against the Western countries again!

Under such a general environment, the two powerful families in Fujiwara mansion, Ida Konosuke and Watanabe Nakao, also had a wink. They immediately escaped from Kyoto with the help of their ninjas. They have to say that the defense of Kyoto without walls is too tragic. Not to mention the Daiming retainer Samurai Order, even ordinary bandits and thieves, they come whenever they want to come, and leave whenever they want.

When the Ping clan took the initiative and sent troops to surround the mansion, they only saw a few warriors who had broken their backs. They were still the guys who were not good at guarding last night, and they all apologized.

Outside Kyoto, in a dense forest.

"Damn it! Pingyuan Mori is really going to attack the Western Kingdom..." Ida Yukisuke couldn't help but be extremely angry when he listened to the report of his ninja and slashed the trunk next to him with a knife.

"This is expected!" Watanabe Natsuo coughed, and was obviously not very energetic while eating a rice ball.

Although he was a warrior when he was young, his body could not tolerate him spending so much energy at this time: "Now... I hope our news spreads quickly enough so that the young master can make the most preparations!"

“Are we doing nothing?”

Ida Yukinosuke roared and looked at the black-clothed crowd behind him.

This is the most elite force of the Fujiwara family, with only a few hundred people. They have studied military tactics since childhood and killed people like a slaughter, but at this time there are a hundred people here.

They were the main force who attacked Gongsun Chamber of Commerce that night.

"With these hundred troops, perhaps after Pingyuansheng comes out, we can try to attack Kyoto and even obtain the monarch's proclamation to fight against the thieves. At that time, the whole world will know who is the true loyal minister and who is the rebellion."

Watanabe Natsuo coughed and said reluctantly: "But at this time, Qiunosuke, please bear with me!"

"Save it to useful people for the future? This plan is indeed good... Unfortunately, can you really hide for so long?" A frivolous voice suddenly came from nearby.

"who?"

Ida Yukinosuke drew his sword to face him, and the few black-clothed people behind him instantly surrounded him and Watanabe Nakamoto and made a protective formation.

"I have no malice towards you, I just want to say... you are too naive!" Duan Yu covered her face and walked out of the darkness: "Pingyuansheng will not let an unstable force stay in Kyoto, and will definitely clear you out before going to war... And your hidden ability, haha... I can find here. Are the people of the Ping clan still far away?"
