Qili Laizhou looked around, his pupils shrank, something was wrong, it turned out to be Songren City Lord Haomu Yorinobu.
Songren Castle is a strategic location in Minami Kaga, and Haomu Yorinobu has great prestige among the Ichiku people. If she dares to take the lead, she must have someone to rely on.
More importantly, she must have collected gold from the Nagao family.
Hoki Yorinobu has a very high status in Minamikaga. Without her nod, Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora) would not be able to pass.
Qili Laizhou said coldly.
"why are you laughing."
Haomu Yorinobu said without fear of looking at her.
"Your news is lagging behind. I just received news from the past few days. The Dharma Master has a decree for you, so I will bring it together this time."
The ominous premonition in Qili Laizhou's heart became even stronger, and he managed to calm down his emotions and said in a deep voice.
"Ask for the decree."
"By the order of the Dharma Master, the Kaga Ichikai clan launched the Ichigo Ichiku to expand externally."
She stood up suddenly and scolded.
"Impossible! The Master would never issue such an order!"
Haomu Yorixin said leisurely.
"Indeed, those who prove to be the superior cannot do it, but those who appear to be the superior do.
It is proved that the master is already sitting on the Hua Benshan Mountain, and the master has succeeded to the throne of Honganji Temple."
Qili Laizhou turned pale and said through gritted teeth.
"What else does the decree say?"
Noribu Haomu glanced at her with mockery in his eyes.
"Motoyama asked the boss of the boss, Shimo Yorijun, to come to Oyama Gobo and take control of Kaga.
You will serve as General Kaga and lead us to create a new era in Hokuriku."
Qili Laizhou's face turned red, this was such a humiliation.
Honganji Mianru did not deprive her of her rights in Kaga, but forced her to change her ways.
She has been suppressing the pioneering spirit of these people, and now the new Dharma Master wants her to take these bastards to go to war.
So insulting!
She looked uncertain, but finally gritted her teeth and endured it.
Coming from a humble background and relying solely on his own ability to climb up the ladder, Nanari Laizhou cherishes his current status very much.
Master Zhengru has passed away, and she has no backing. If she offends Master Zhengru, she may fall from the clouds into the abyss in an instant.
Not to mention power, life can't be saved.
Over the years, she has killed so many people and caused so many troubles in order to suppress her ambitions.
If you step down now, your whole family will die tomorrow!
She had to reluctantly nod and said.
"Give me the decree and I will take it."
Qili Laizhou was such a bachelor, Hao Mu Lai was disappointed in his confidence and secretly cursed himself for not making a prompt decision.
If she had just one more question, the leaders of the group who had contacted her would rise up and kill her together.
This guy was flexible and flexible, so she had no choice but to watch the opportunity fleeting and give up.
Qili Laizhou saw the disappointment in her eyes, and felt something in his heart.
Secretly vigilant, he said.
"The entire territory of Kaga is sealed off. We will wait until the next boss arrives. Everyone will go back and prepare for spring plowing."
Hoki Yorinobu cheered along with everyone, thinking that Uesugi Terutora must have passed through Matsuno Castle. She took the money and did the work, and what happened after that had nothing to do with her.
The Takeda family did send gold, but they just asked Kaga Country to block it, leaving Nagao Kagetora with no way to retreat.
Nowadays, it is Qili Laizhou's own decision to enclose the country. Hao Mu Laixin does not need to do anything and can happily accept the heavy gifts. It is really a good deal.
She was secretly happy in her heart, but she didn't realize that Qili Laizhou's eyes glanced at her neck, seemingly unintentionally, and it was bone-chilling.
———
After immersing themselves in the journey for several days, Yoshihiro and his party took a break at the Uesugi family's supply point along the way before setting off again. Finally, they crossed the Ryobai Mountains and entered the Ezhong territory.
At this time, the villages and cities passing by were under martial law, which made the team's supplies in the castle town a lot of trouble.
Naoe Kanetsugu, who came back from his investigation in Shang Town, reported to the two family governors with a solemn face.
"The Yixiang Sect is organizing a blockade, and I am afraid that we will no longer be able to obtain supplies from the castle town."
Teruhora Uesugi asked in a deep voice.
"What happened to Yuezhong Yixiang Zong?"
"It is said that the order came from the Kaga Oyama Imperial Palace, but the details are not yet clear.
Yuezhong Yixiangzong is far more respectful and respectful to this mountain than Kaga Yixiangzong, I'm afraid there will be big moves after spring plowing."
Shangshang Huihu said calmly.
"Let's set off immediately and hurry back to Kasugayama Castle."
Previously, the group was concerned about their power and could only travel thirty or forty miles a day.
War horses may seem to run fast, but in fact, their endurance when carrying people is far inferior to walking, and traveling long distances is actually not as fast as people walking.
The group of people was one person and one horse, and the luggage was quite heavy. In order to cherish the horses, they walked slower.
Now that the situation is unstable, we have no choice but to use up our horsepower and return to Echigo territory first.
Naoe Kanetsugu looked ugly and glanced secretly at Yoshigan, which made Yoshigan's heart skip a beat, fearing that there might be trouble behind him.
Sure enough, she said.
"All the businesses in Fufu County's homes have been removed. The Shenbo family is searching for caravans. It seems that they are looking for us."
Terutora Uesugi's heart sank and he asked.
"The Chief God Protector knew about me going to Luo? Who leaked it to her?
Kyoto? Or Echigo?"
Naoe Kanetsu shook his head and said.
"I don't know, the merchants at home in Fufu County came to report the news. Now I only know that there is no foothold on the way forward, and the news from Echigo has been cut off."
Terutora Uesugi also remained silent.
After returning to Vietnam, we will go from west to east and pass through Tonami County, Fufu County and Xinchuan County.
Tonami County is occupied by two temples, the Etsuchu Ichigong Sect. To the east of the Yamada River is the Zuisen Temple Territory and to the west is the Anyang Temple Territory.
Fufu County is the territory of the Jinbo family, and even crossed the border of the Kamtsu River and built Toyama Castle to invade the Shiina family of Shinkawa County.
The Jimbo family Shiina family were two of the three guardian dynasties originally established by the Hatakeyama family in Echu. Each occupied a county and attacked each other.
The originally powerful Jinbo Nagasaki was defeated by the Echigo reinforcements invited by Shiina Yasuin, and he hated Uesugi Teruhora deeply.
No matter where she got the information, it would not let Uesugi Teruhu pass easily.
The Nagao family was able to defeat the superiors from below, and their foothold in Echigo was unstable.
If Terutora Uesugi is killed, there will be civil strife in Echigo, and she will have no time to come to Echu to cause trouble. Only then will she be able to put an end to her troubles.
In front of him, the chief priest is blocking the way, and behind him, Kaga has granted the title to the clan.
The martial law of the Yuezhong sect in the place where they are located is getting more and more severe, making it difficult to accommodate, and the group is caught in a dilemma.
Teruhora Uesugi said to Yoshigan Shiba.
"Mr. Kenshin, please go south to Hida Country to take shelter temporarily.
I have an old relationship with the Ema family of Hida Province, and since you are an envoy to the shogunate, her family will definitely protect you.
When I return to Echigo, I will assemble my army and march into Echigo, and teach the chief minister of the gods a lesson, then I will come to pick you up."
"no!"
Yiyin refused directly.
Just kidding, now that the two of them are united, they only have sixty elite warriors under their command.
After the separation, Uesugi Teruhora will have only thirty people under his command.
If something goes wrong with the pass and Zhan fails in Yuezhong, he will be made into an ugly figure by the system!
If that's the case, what's the point of coming to Kanto after he has gone through many hardships and struggled to death!
Uesugi Teruhu didn't understand what Yoshigan was thinking. She just felt aggrieved and angry.
The trip to Guandong that she had planned before was supposed to be for her to show off her power and conquer the Guandong Plain, then marry Bai Fumei and reach the pinnacle of her life.
But Sibo Yiyin's wretched development, step by step, and absolutely no-nonsense layout made her restless.
This is not her script, and the result will never be the one she wants to embrace the beauty!
The exchange between the two at Tsuruga Castle a few days ago had already disappointed her.
Now that the situation was critical, her mind was in confusion, and Shiba Yiyin was unwilling to obey the arrangement, so the string in her heart suddenly broke.
In her impatience, she said angrily.
"Can't you just listen to my arrangements?"
Not to be outdone, Yiyin responded to her.
"I am the envoy of the shogunate and the governor of the Shiba family. Why should I listen to your arrangements?"
The two refused to give in to each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
