Warring States Eagle

The meeting with Taketo Sagara went well.Regarding the fact that the Shaoyi family colluded with the Otomo family, although Sagara Taketoshi did not fully believe it, the seeds of suspicion had already been planted, and he would definitely try to confirm it after returning home.Once Ouchi Yoshitaka was alarmed and took out the letter for comparison, the Shaoyi family could only ask for more blessings.

Sagara Taketo expressed great interest in the Luo family's request for support.Of course, what he was most interested in was how the Luo family joined the Ouchi family.For this reason, Sagara Taketo proposed the idea of ​​the Luo family becoming a soma (subordinate daimyo), but Masara politely rejected it.The reason is reasonable.With Hizen's current situation, once the Luo's family is declared to be the outsider of the Ouchi family, then the Luo family will definitely fall into the siege of the surrounding tyrants who are hostile to the Ouchi family.At that time, not only could the Luo family not help the Ouchi family control Hizen, they even had to surrender to the Shaoyi family.For such a result, Sagara Taketoshi is obviously unacceptable.

The final result of the discussion between the two is that the Luo family will remain hidden in Hizen for the time being, secretly assisting the Ouchi family to completely control Hizen. At the same time, if the Luo family is in crisis, the Ouchi family will secretly provide support.After the discussion, Sagara Taketo left excitedly, and he had to rush to report the news he got this time to Ouchi Yoshitaka.

And Zhengliang is quite satisfied with the harvest of this meeting.Temporarily pretending to seek refuge with the Ouchi family and letting Ouchi support the Luo family through this period is completely sufficient.As for taking refuge, Zheng Liang didn't take it seriously at all.According to the progress of history, after this year's victory over the Nizi family's army, Ouchi Yoshitaka already thought that the Nizi family's day would be in the west, so next year, under the instigation of Tao Longfang and others, the Ouchi family will launch a campaign against the Nizi family. Everyone should know the strategy and the final result.It ended in the disastrous defeat of the Ouchi family, and even the heir of the Ouchi family died in that battle.

Ouchi Yoshitaka was hit hard by this, and began to lose interest in expansion, and Sagara Taketo, who represented the school of Wenzhi, would quickly rise to power.Gradually confront Tao Longfang.At that time, the Ouchi family will not have the energy to take care of Hizen's affairs at all.

This time, Masaragi also expressed to Taketo Sagara the hope that the ouchi family can assist him in obtaining positions in the imperial court and the shogunate.In the last evaluation of retainers, Kakukuma Ishimune proposed to let Masara get an official or service position as soon as possible.As long as you have an official position, you have the righteousness to act.Just like the Shaoyi family issued a summoning order to the Luo family in the name of protection.certainly.The authority of such an official position is based on strength. If you have no strength, no matter how great the official position is, no one will pay attention to you.

The Ouchi family is currently one of the few big names that can be called one of the Big Macs.He has a certain right to speak in the imperial court. With his help, Zhengliang's chances of obtaining a higher official position will be much greater.Of course, everything still depends on yourself.So after finishing his meeting with Taketo Sagara, Masara boarded the boat to Kyoto again.This time he will go to Kyoto to obtain an official position in person.

before the ship starts.Zhengliang received a report from the detectives. It turned out that after the Luo family destroyed the Kami Matsuura and Goto clans, they became famous. Various tyrants sent people into the Luo family's territory with various thoughts in an attempt to find out the news.With the implementation of the Luo family's law, the system of reporting suspicious persons and receiving food rewards has been greatly welcomed by the residents. As a result, in just a few days, more than 50 spies were reported by the residents and arrested. A reward of five stones per person is a reward of hundreds of stones.With such a large number, Togo Heiji of course couldn't make up his mind, so he had to send someone to consult Zheng Liang's decision.

With a wave of his hand, Zheng Liang approved these rewards, however.In his heart, he also hated these spies who sneaked into his own territory, and decided in his heart that it would be impossible for these guys to be pardoned if they had not been slaves in the territory for several years.

After finishing everything, the fleet of three merchant ships officially set off.The fleet went all the way along Xuanjie Beach.Passing through the Guanmen Strait at noon on the second day, the fleet continued on its way without any danger.

In the afternoon of the third day.The fleet entered Anyun Beach, which is also the Seto Inland Sea.From here, the number of islands on the sea began to increase, and ships came and went in an endless stream.

"My lord, Itsukushima is ahead," said the boatman hired this time.

"Itsukushima?"

"Yes, my lord. The Itsukushima Shrine above is our patron saint of the sea. Every time we pass by here, the villain will visit from afar on the boat," said the boatman.Due to their limited status, these civilians are not allowed to visit the island casually, so they have to pay homage far away on the boat, praying for the blessing of the patron saint of the sea.

Ignoring the introduction of the island's scenery by the boatman, Zheng Liang thought of another thing instead.Itsukushima, later known as Miyajima.A few years later, it was here that the Maori family defeated Tao Longfang, and even forced Tao Longfang to commit suicide.The Ouchi family has since embarked on the path of extinction.This time, it was so close to that legendary place, which made Zheng Liang feel emotional.

"My lord, we are about to enter the waters of the Murakami Navy. I'm afraid there will be ships coming to intercept them. As long as you pay the sail and money, you can pass safely." Just as Masaragi was deep in thought, the fleet had already left Itsukushima quickly. , heading forward.Because they were worried that the adults on board who were obviously not ordinary people would be angry because they were obstructed by the Murakami navy, which would cause conflicts, so the boatman notified Zheng Liang in advance.

Just as the boatman expected, after a few quarters of an hour, several Murakami's Xiaozao rowed towards them.The boatman was obviously familiar with them, and while talking to these sailors, he handed over money for sailing.After getting the coins to leave a seal, the sailors quickly rowed away and started heading towards another merchant ship.

"Is the stronghold of the Murakami navy nearby?" Zhengliang said as he looked at the Murakami navy who was gradually going away.

"It is indeed nearby, but if you go further, you will soon encounter the checkpoint set by the Murakami family. Ordinary people cannot approach the place where they live," the boatman said cautiously.After being away for a long time, the boatman had already developed the ability to observe words and demeanor. After hearing Zhengliang's question, the boatman subconsciously thought that Zhengliang seemed to be very interested in the Murakami family's navy, so he immediately answered cautiously.

Zhengliang is indeed very interested in this navy because he thinks of Murakami Takeshi who is staying in Nodaka Town at the moment.Takekichi Murakami, who has been with Masaragi for several months, seems quite calm. It is estimated that the ability to think well in the future was developed at this time.Perhaps, it won't be long before he will set foot on the island here again and take back everything that belongs to him.

The fleet arrived at Harima Beach unimpeded with the evidence provided by the Murakami family.At this time, it was already afternoon, and Zheng Liang asked the fleet to dock at the nearby harbor to rest.This era is different from later generations, sailing at night is to take great risks.Especially in the inland sea where there are many islands and reefs.So Zhengliang is going to rest here tonight, and then move forward tomorrow.

The place where the ship docked was a simple harbor, and not far from it was the Tomita Matsuyama Castle of Urakami's family.Under the protection of everyone, Zheng Liang chose a house with several ordinary families close together as a resting place.

soon.Night fell.The moon also rises quietly.

And Zheng Liang began to study tomorrow's itinerary.According to the itinerary, Mingri only needs to continue along the Harima Beach, cross the Akashi Strait, and enter Settsu Bay.And the first destination of this trip, Jie Town, will arrive.

"Huh?" At this moment, Zheng Liang had a warning sign, and the skill system in his body also responded.

Immediately afterwards. With a "squeak", the wooden door was pushed open, and Kato Duanzang, the general manager of Zhengliang Security, walked in quickly: "Your Highness!"

"Well, it seems that you have also found out? Go and see what's going on?" Zheng Liang said.Kato Duanzo, who is obviously already in the Jonin realm, also discovered the danger.

"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving Masara's order, Danzo Kato bowed and retreated.Then there was a series of voices shouting outside, apparently it was Kato Danzo who gave the order to guard Masara's safety.Even Fei Duan and Ari walked into the wooden house after getting Zheng Liang's permission.Responsible for Zhengliang's close guard.

After the arrangements were made, Kato Duanzo headed towards the place where the signs of danger came.

Zhengliang and the others are quietly waiting for the result.

"That's not right" Zheng Liang suddenly shouted, and the words Ji Gangyi in his hand couldn't help tightening.

Hearing this, Fei Duan and Ari beside him immediately looked around the house alertly.

"Om..." At this moment, a whistling sound pierced through the brain.

Zhengliang felt dizzy for a moment.Fortunately, the system responded immediately, driving out the intruding glare in an instant.Zheng Liang was fine here, but Ari and Fei Duan beside him seemed much more difficult, with veins protruding from their faces.Evidently a great struggle was going on.

"Who is here, please show up and see!" Zheng Liang shouted.

The chirping faded away.Hiduan and Ari also returned to normal in an instant.But Zheng Liang saw the astonishment and solemn look in the eyes of the two of them.Apparently, this kind of attack method that Phil thought of coming made the two of them feel tricky, even helpless.

"Follow me out to meet our guests," Zheng Liang said after the two of them fully recovered, shaking hands with Ji Gang.

"Your Highness?" The two were clearly trying to persuade them.

"The other party has been waiting outside for a long time. Besides, the invisible enemy is the most dangerous." After Zheng Liang finished speaking, he took the lead to walk towards the wooden door.

"Squeak..." Fei Duan and the two quickly walked to the front, opened the wooden door first, and then stepped out first.

Zheng Liang then also walked out.

I saw that all the guards who were guarding outside had fainted and temporarily lost their fighting power.Under the bright moonlight, Zheng Liang saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat and ordinary civilian clothes standing quietly on the grass not far away.

"Hey! It's a pity that Xiaoyue is not here. Otherwise, with our joint efforts, the two warriors around you would not be able to support you until now. Let me introduce myself! You can call me Long Yin," the middle-aged man said first.
