In order to successfully deliver this cup of highly poisonous tea to Mochizuki Shouyun, more than two digits of ninjas and samurai had already sacrificed their lives.
Similar things are happening one after another within the three major samurai families, and the targets are not limited to the three sword masters.
After all, ninja revenge has nothing to do with morality and martial ethics.
When the three sword masters noticed something strange, countless people had already lost their lives secretly.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the corpses of retainers and descendants covered with white cloth in front of him, Wangyue Shouyun was furious, "Bihe Mountain...Are they crazy? How dare they! How dare they!"
Bang——
He slammed the table so hard that it penetrated the floor, and the whole room seemed to jump.
In fact, in addition to anger, Wangyue Shouyun also felt a trace of inexplicable grievance.
As one of the three great sword masters, although he did not personally participate in it, he had vaguely heard about the plans of the Ishikawa and Yagyu families, and he could understand the meaning behind it.
If the plan was discovered, he would not be surprised at all if the two families incurred revenge from the ninjas.
But the problem is that although the Mochizuki family knew about this matter, they did not participate in it. As a result, they were also involved in this wave of revenge, which really made him a little depressed.
But now that the matter has come to this, it is impossible for him to go to Bihe Mountain to complain about his innocence for being harmed by Chi Yu. How could a samurai who always claimed to be superior to others ever compromise with a lowly ninja?
Sometimes, face is more important than anything else.
Fortunately, just when Mochizuki Shouyun was thinking about how to respond, a letter from the Ishikawa family made his eyes light up.
"Ha, it turns out that their losses were even more serious..."
Biheshan's arrangement is not completely untargeted. It is obvious that their revenge will be greater for Ishikawa and Yagyu who ended up personally.
For the Mochizuki family, they just want to get Mochizuki Shouyun's Sword Master head as a bargaining chip to compete for the position of Ninja. But for the two major families of Ishikawa and Yagyu, the more deaths, the better.
During this period of time, a large number of low-level samurai from both families died in assassinations, the number being shocking.
Even big families like Ishikawa and Yagyu couldn't bear it, so they called the Mochizuki family to discuss countermeasures.
"These stinking rats in the gutter, who gave them the courage!"
The head of the Yagyu family, who lost an heir in an assassination some time ago, needs to show off his military power and is full of anger.
"There is no point in pursuing this now,"
The head of the Ishikawa family, who also suffered a lot of losses, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "The important thing is, what should we do?"
The three of them looked at each other, and after a while, Yagyu Bingquan showed a fierce look in his eyes: "That old dog has died in China. How about taking this opportunity to join forces with the three of us and destroy Bihe Mountain directly?"
"This..."
Mochizuki Shouyun was a little hesitant, "Will the Grand Palace Secretary of the Gods... agree?"
The so-called Omiyaji of the Gods is the leader of Shintoism, and can also be said to be the person who stands at the pinnacle of the Japanese alien world. In addition, the scale of Shintoism has long been called the state religion, and in the world of ordinary people, he is also
A symbol of sublimity.
If the foreign forces in the island country are compared to three pillars, then Shintoism is the Northern Wei Dynasty, which is difficult to resist even with the combined strength of samurai and ninjas.
When ninjas emerged as tools and cannon fodder and escaped the control of samurai, there may not necessarily be no shadow of Shintoism.
After all, at that time, the shogunate founded by samurai families and the sectarian forces that favored royal theocracy were still rivals. Letting ninjas out of the control of samurai also weakened the strength of the shoguns in disguise.
"Times are different now..."
Hearing Mochizuki Shouyun's doubts, Ishikawa Hide smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Although it hurts my face to say this, we are no longer considered a threat by the Shinto religion, so naturally the ninja forces used to contain us will also
It’s dispensable.”
As soon as these words came out, the three sword masters were silent for a while.
The tide of the times is so cold and ruthless that even if they are sword masters, they can do nothing to deal with their family's loneliness.
But after all, we are all sword masters, and our spiritual cultivation is there, so we will not indulge in these sad things.
"So, is it possible?"
Yagyu military power confirmed.
"It works!"
Ishikawa Hide said solemnly.
Then, under the gaze of the two of them, Wangyue Shouyun could only nod.
"Very good, this time all the Tengu guards of our Yagyu family will be dispatched!"
Yagyu Bingquan gritted his teeth, the heir who died in the hands of the ninja was one he loved very much.
"Since the Yagyu family is so sincere, then our Ishikawa family cannot lag too far behind. The Buddhist soldiers... it is time to take action."
Ishikawa Hide said.
"In that case, let's dispatch the Mochizuki Sword Ninja..."
Wangyue Shouyun answered.
The Yagyu Tengu Guards, Ishikawa Buddha Soldiers and Mochizuki Sword Ninjas are all ace troops within each family. From this point of view, their determination is not small.
……
……
Night with dark moon and high wind.
Under the personal leadership of the three sword masters, warriors holding sharp blades marched towards Bihe Mountain. In order to maintain the confidentiality of their actions, each of them wore a black cloak. But it is a pity that even so, their actions still fell into the eyes of a figure sitting on the treetop.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he responded decisively, and he also knew how to kill first and then show off. He is worthy of the name of Sword Master."
Chi Yao gave a faint compliment.
"Then what should we do?"
With the help of the cover of the shadow, Gao Gen asked, "Should we inform the leader and Xiaogu that we should take this opportunity to go to Bihe Mountain together and kill the so-called three sword masters in one pot?"
"Going to Bihe Mountain? No, no, no, what's the point..."
Chi Yao shook his head, "Since they went to the ninja's lair, then naturally we have to go to their lair for a visit... Have you ever heard of a tactic..."
"What tactic?"
Gao Gen, who was born in the same qi liu, is not a wild person. His cultural level is still passable, and he has dabbled in "Six Tao", "Thirty-six Strategies", etc.
But what Chi Yao said next made him confused...
"The master of all tactics."
……
……
If Fuma Jiro and Hattori Kawazo are allowed to make decisions on their own, it will be a bit difficult to implement the strategy of changing families. After all, Higashan Mountain is their territory that they have managed for hundreds of years. If they are so easily handed over to the samurai, everyone will hesitate. But Chi Yao is different. What does the amount of hard work of the ninjas condensed on Bihe Mountain have to do with him?
After giving the order, Fuma Jiro and Hattori Kawazo, who were corpse men, naturally obeyed unconditionally, so on this night, which was also very suitable for killing and arson, batches of ninjas in black clothes left the base camp and went straight to Ishikawa, Mochizuki and
The three Yagyu families came here.
……
……
The sword masters of the three major families personally led the ace troops on the expedition. Although the remaining guard force could not be considered weak, they were soon on the verge of collapse in the face of the siege of the ninjas from Mount Bihe.
The blurred vision in the night is already beneficial to the ninjas. In addition, the battlefield is in the territory of the three major families. They cannot retreat easily, but the ninjas can tilt various smoke bombs, poisonous concealed weapons, etc. inward at will. p>
Soon, the outermost line of defense was lost, and the battle turned into a more brutal and intense stage of street fighting.
……
……
On Mount Bihe, the three sword masters came full of confidence, but in the end they gathered in the castle tower on the top of the mountain in confusion.
"Brother Mochizuki, brother Yagyu, you..."
Ishikawa Hide just wanted to ask, but he stopped talking after seeing their faces clearly.
"We went all the way and didn't see even half a ninja. What the hell is going on?"
Yagyu Bingquan angrily smashed the table next to him with his sword.
"Didn't you meet anyone?"
Mochizuki Shouyun's expression suddenly changed, "Oh no, could this be a trap?!"
"Please enter the urn?"
Ishikawa Shu and Yagyu Bingquan also reacted quickly and immediately shouted, "Quick, get out of here!!"
The three of them didn't have time to check more on the mountain, so they hurried down the mountain with their elite warriors in a panic.
"Tsk, tsk, what a pity. If we could get enough explosives, we could set off Bihe Mountain like fireworks tonight. How spectacular would it be? I wonder if we can see it from the other side of the sea?"
Chi Yao looked at the group of warriors rolling down the mountain with disdain and sighed softly.
"I discovered that you are truly complete and complete..."
Gao Gen was unable to complain, but his excited eyes betrayed him. It was obvious that he was very excited about this plan.
"But it doesn't matter. If you want to set off fireworks, you still have a chance..."
Chi Yao squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
……
……
After escaping from Bihe Mountain in a panic, the three sword masters turned around and looked at the huge thing in the darkness but without any movement, looking at each other in silence.
"Not a trap?"
Watching the moon and watching the clouds frowned.
Because he was the first person who thought it was a trap. Now that nothing happened, he was naturally a little embarrassed, so he quickly tried to change the topic.
"Then where did they go?"
"The target that can make them mobilize in full force, I'm afraid..."
Ishikawa Xiu pondered for a moment, and then was shocked, "No! You two, stay away for now, I have to go back to the clan to take a look!"
"Wait, no way... do they have such courage?"
Yagyu Bingquan was a little disbelieving. Suddenly, Mochizuki Shouyun pointed at the faint fire and smoke floating in the distance and asked, "Sir Yagyu, is that the residence of the nobles over there?"
"Huh? How is that possible!"
Yagyu Bingquan sneered, "Although I took away the Tengu Guards, but just because those ninjas want to break through..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly paused, and then quickly rushed back with the Tengu Guards as if his buttocks were on fire.
"Damn it, that seems to be the direction of the old man's clan!"
The Ishikawa and Yagyu families left one after another, and Mochizuki Shouyun did not stay alone.
"Let's go, the Yagyu family may be in bad luck this time..."
Until now, he thought that the ninjas from Bihe Mountain randomly selected one of the three families to attack.
……
……
The next day, the three disgraced sword masters reunited.
Watching the moon and watching the clouds can no longer rejoice in the misfortune.
"Damn it, they actually dared to attack three of our families at the same time..."
The most important thing is that they actually made it happen. They have obviously lost Ninto and a group of elite ninjas, but Biheshan still has such strength?
"What now?"
Yagyu military power is very aggrieved.
In fact, if he was willing to lead the Tengu Guards to attack regardless of the consequences last night, the ninjas guarding their family's territory might not be able to cope with it.
But that is the Yagyu family's clan, and there are also his wife, children, and the families of many Tengu Guard warriors. Once attacked, the fate of these people can be imagined.
The same goes for the Ishikawa family and the Mochizuki family.
The battle was impossible to fight without the rat weapon, so they all retreated after just a brief attempt.
"What exactly do they want to do?"
Ishikawa Hideo was the calmest, "Is it just to avoid our encirclement and suppression last night? It didn't affect the tribe too much, which shows that they are not like a dead fish..."
"Hmph, even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, they won't dare!"
Yagyu Bingquan snorted coldly.
"So we're going to have peace talks?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an eagle cry suddenly came from the sky.
A letter wrapped in oil paper slowly falls.
Ishikawa Hide jumped up, picked up the letter from mid-air, and opened it to read.
"Sure enough... Fuma Jiro and Hattori Kawazo want to invite us to negotiate."
"Oh?"
Mochizuki Shouyun and Yagyu Bingquan also joined in.
"With the witness of the Holy Mountain of Fuji...hum, they will find a place."
Seeing the location written on the letter, Yagyu Hōgōn sneered.
As for Wangyue Shouyun, he breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you are willing to negotiate, after three days, there is no limit on how many people we can bring there."
"Humph, if they impose restrictions, will we listen?"
Yagyu Military Power still looks like he is defying the sky and the earth.
"It's useless to think too much. You will see the truth in three days."
Ishikawa Hide's conclusion is final.
……
……
"Brother Gu, if you don't want to hurt the ordinary people around you, then these samurai and ninjas should be fine, right?"
Chi Yao looked towards Gu Jiating.
He only learned from Wu Gensheng that Gu Jiting was just planning to scare the snake.
I didn't realize that this guy actually has such a compassionate side...
But this is not possible, the scheduled fireworks must be released!
"This..."
Gu Jiating was a little hesitant.
"Well, if you have some moral burdens in your heart, how about a show of hands among us?"
Seeing that he still couldn't make up his mind, Chi Yao turned to say.
Using the rhetoric of collective decision-making can greatly relieve the psychological pressure of everyone involved.
Based on his understanding of Wugensheng, he will definitely support it. As for Gao Gen, after contacting him in the past few days, this guy is also a person who hates evil.
The national hatred is far more profound than the personal hatred. Before, he even proposed to kill three sword masters together in Bihe Mountain!
Coupled with the "evil boy" Li Muxuan who is afraid of chaos in the world...
The result of the vote by show of hands was no surprise, with four votes in favor and one abstention.
"In this way, in order to maximize the results, the previous plan to alert the snake does not have to be completely abandoned..."
Chi Yao added enthusiastically, "Anyway, the more people watching the fireworks, the better. When the three of them get together, BOOM!"
