The time has entered May.After preparing for a year, the Ouchi family's convoy of trade convoy finally officially departed from Iki Island.

Eagle Peak City after Nanfei.It was already nighttime, and Sagara Haruhiro and Uemura Laixing were discussing how to completely remove the stumbling block that prevented the father and son of Sagara from completely controlling Sagara's house.

"My lord, my lord is already seriously ill at this time, and I'm afraid he will die soon." Sagara Haruhiro said.In fact, he didn't quite agree with his father Uemura Yoshiki's plan to poison Yoshiko Sagara in advance.

"Hmph, poison is not your husband. Although my family has taken care of me a lot over the years, the Sagara clan should be dominated by my family. Now it's time for him to give up completely. Besides, instead of letting him linger on his last breath, we should It's better to just give him a happy one." Uemura Laixing said in a low voice.

"It's just that if the lord of the country dies suddenly, my uncle may be suspicious! This will cause turmoil in the family, and even I may not be able to successfully inherit the position of family governor." Haruhiro Sagara worried. [

"The rest of the retainers have already been secretly bought by me, so there is no need to worry. As for your uncle, huh!" Uemura Laixing snorted coldly at this point.

The uncle that Haruhiro Sagara mentioned was none other than Laixing Uemura's younger brother Uemura Changshige.Originally, Uemura Laixing valued Uemura Chief Zhong's internal affairs ability and gave him to his cousin Sagara Yoshiko.However, as Uemura Chief Shige gradually gained the importance of Sagara Yoshiko, it gradually aroused Uemura Laixing's jealousy towards his younger brother.After Yoshiko Uemura forcibly asked Yoshiko Sagara to make his son Haruhiro Sagara the successor of the family governor, which led to the confrontation between Yoshiko Uemura and Yoshiko Sagara, Chief Uemura was even more inclined to support Yoshiko Sagara.

Of course, this war ended with the victory of the scheming Uemura Laixing, but Uemura Laixing's last assassination plan against Uemura Chief Shige ended in failure.This incident also led to a complete break between Uemura Chief Shige and Uemura Laixing.So now thinking of Uemura Chief coming back makes Uemura Lai Xing feel a headache.

"Hmph, I'll let you live for a while longer, and after my father and son have completely controlled the Sagara family, I will take care of you slowly." Uemura Laixing couldn't help but comfort himself.

at this time.There were hurried footsteps outside the corridor.

"My lord! My lord! The ninja has returned from Takatsuka Castle, and I have something important to tell you."

The speaker was Ken Fumizose, another important minister in the family.

"What? Is there something important? Come in! Master Shen Shui." Sagara Haruhiro said immediately.

"What happened to Takatsuka Castle?"

After entering, Ken Fukazuka's face was solemn, and he reported to Haruhiro Sagara: "Today (four o'clock) someone attacked Takatsuka Castle and set fire to it."

"What? Someone set fire to the city, who did it?"

"Temporarily, we know that the enemy seemed to appear out of thin air, and fled after setting fire to many wooden houses outside the city." Ken Fukamizu shook his head.

"Understood. Please go down and send more people to continue to trace the identity of the invading enemy." Uemura Yoshihing who hadn't spoken before said suddenly.

"Yes! I will take my leave!" Fukasase Qian retreated after receiving the order.

"Father, what are you?" Haruhiro Sagara really couldn't figure out why Uemura Yoshihing suddenly sent Ken Fukamizu away. He was about to continue to inquire about the situation of Takatsuka Castle's surprise attack.

"Hmph, this guy is still resenting me for controlling his son, Fumizu Nagato! It is absolutely impossible to get more detailed information from him at this time." Uemura Laixing said.In order for the Shenshui clan to fully support Haruhiro Sagara to become the adopted heir of Yoshiko Sagara, Uemura Laixing used conspiracy to imprison Fukamizu Nagato, son of Ken Fumizu, in Uemura Castle.

Although the two brothers, Ken Fukamizu and Setakata Fukamizu, have secretly expressed their support for Yoshihing Uemura's side, they are still irritated by Yoshihing Uemura's despicable means to ensure that the two brothers will not renege on the battle.As a result, Ken Fukamizu and Setakata Fukamizu are not working hard on political affairs at home.This can be regarded as expressing their dissatisfaction to the powerful Uemura Laixing in disguise.

"But, my lord, Takatsuka Castle is an important town in the border area of ​​our family near Kamishijo County, so we have to guard against someone sneaking into Takatsuka Castle at this time!" Sagara Haruhiro said worriedly.

"Hmph, there must be someone in the family who is dissatisfied with your status as the successor of the family governor, and deliberately created the illusion of the enemy's sneak attack there, so as to achieve their ulterior motives?" [

"An ulterior purpose? It's just. Who is so bold?"

"Hmph!" Uemura Yoshiki didn't make a rash judgment this time, but the figure of Sagara Yoshiki involuntarily appeared in his heart.Although Yoshiki Sagara was already sick in bed at this time, the fact that Yoshiki Sagara was able to reach the current height proved that Yoshiki Sagara was definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp. Maybe this was what he secretly planned.

In addition to Yoshiko Sagara, his younger brother Uemura Changshige is also extremely suspicious.Or the monks and soldiers in the temple nearby.The Ichizo sect there supported Yoshiki Sagara.It's hard to guarantee that Yoshiko Sagara still didn't give up at this time, and secretly contacted Yi Xiangzong to come to help.

"Wait and see for the time being, I believe no one will come to make trouble." Uemura Laixing finally said.

It was just beyond Uemura Laixing's expectation.At dusk on the second day, seven or eight horsemen and horses suddenly appeared outside Gaocheng again. They had fire bags tied around their waists, and they quickly ignited fires around the city again.

The sudden attack made Gaocheng, which had gradually quieted down and was about to enter the night, suddenly sounded a big drum warning.

As soon as the drum sounded, people in and outside the city immediately dropped their wine glasses.One after another put on armor and helmet, and hurriedly picked up knives and guns, every family looked chaotic.

Many of them were drunk or ready to fall asleep, and people rushed to the front of the city one after another.It was now evening.The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the burning sky looked red. Everyone's mood was frightened by this ominous power.

"Who is coming to attack?"

"Maybe it's from the Omiya Shi family!"

"It's already night, and you still come to fight? Isn't it too ignorant?"

"Don't worry! There is Chichi Changren, the number one general of our clan, in the city. If something important happens, he will definitely notify us."

"But... no matter what, launching a night attack at this time is too much."

The strong wind is still there, and the fire does not go out.Everyone rushed to gather, and amidst the chaotic footsteps, one could hear whispers.

"No, reinforcements must be sent to Takashiro!" Sagara Haruhiro finally decided after receiving that Takashiro was attacked again the next day. (To be continued.)
