Beiyang new warlord

Page 288

With a creak, the small door of the sedan chair was pulled open, and a middle-aged man with his long hair combed and wearing a tall hat, who looked a bit like Onmyoji Abe Seimei couldn't help poking his head out, glanced towards the sky, and then turned his head to ask From people.

"Have you reached the rock stream?"

"My lord, we're here!"

The thick rain obviously frightened the middle-aged man, his brows were raised, he waved his hand again, and gave instructions to his servant.

"Send someone to tell the governor of the Maori family that Ji Chuan Guangzheng will not go on the same road with him, and return to the domain first!"

"Obey, my lord!"

Under the hat, the man ran over in a hurry, but turned back angrily after a while.

"My lord, the people from the Maoli family didn't pay attention and just left!"

These words made Hiromasa Yoshikawa's face show a burst of anger, but immediately he let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, let's go!"

"Hay!"

The two feudal lords who were originally walking side by side parted ways, which made the team a little looser, and the pace of walking in the rainy night was even slower.

Thunder came one after another, and the rain fell down the bamboo hat's crackling pond. Smelling the strong smell of earth in the autumn rain, Inoue Fujitaro couldn't help but took a deep breath.

He is actually not from Nagasaki, his ancestors were from Iga, so he is a descendant of ninjas from Masamune Hong. However, ninjas in this era are not as handsome as in anime and movies. On the contrary, they are a group of people who have been abandoned by society. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, who used Mingjiao’s background, turned his head and completely abandoned Mingjiao, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who used ninjas to take over the position, immediately cleaned up the ninjas. The samurai who once dreamed of knowing and knowing did not exist at all. Many ninjas were forced to hide their names and flee to other places. Inoue Fuji, in the name of a wild samurai, is actually one of them.

Therefore, he also hated the shogunate, which was also one of the reasons why he turned to Mao Jue without hesitation.

The thunder sounded again, and the thunder light reflected the ferocious face on his wet face again. This is the fate of a ninja, to be used up by one lord, discarded, and then picked up by another as a cheap commodity, but struggling in it, Who knows if I can become the next lucky Hattori family, Hattori Hanzo! Get rid of the humble ninja status and become a noble samurai master! At least now Mao Jue has given Teng Inoue hope.

The standard ninja mask covered his face tightly with a black cloth, threw it in his pocket, and Inoue waved forward hastily.

Shua ~ Shua Shua ~

The sound of rain covered up the strings of the crossbow, and exhaustion also lowered the vigilance of the red warriors. When the crossbow approached him, he reacted suddenly, but it was too late.

"There are assassins! Ah!!!"

Amidst the shrill screams, the last warning of life was issued. These loyal warriors had already turned over and fell to the ground, but their reminders did not buy much time for their colleagues. , more than a dozen short ninjas in black night suits jumped out suddenly, and the sharp and short ninja swords were gently dragged across the necks of the samurai. Those warriors wearing heavy armor could only draw bellows Breathing hard, he fell limply, and the bright red blood and rain were intertwined, staining the field red.

In the blink of an eye, the monkey-like ninja had hacked and killed more than a dozen samurai guards in a row like in the movie, and reached the edge of the sedan chair. A middle-aged man wearing a royal costume and a half-bald moon belt staggered from above in panic. He escaped, but immediately felt a chill in his back. In his disbelief, a sharp knife pierced his chest, and the blood dripped on the ground. As the blade was pulled away, all his strength was taken away, and the man was limp. He knelt down and immediately fell to the ground.

"Lord!"

During the roar, the surviving Chi Bei had already pulled his horse back angrily, and the samurai of the brigade also began to outflank, looked down at the corpse, the ninja leader whistled, and more than a dozen ninjas also walked away with one blow, and once again got into the corpse. in the straw.

This is the legendary grass escape.

"Chase!"

The samurai roared and drew his horse forward, pulling away the Japanese bow that had become limp due to the rain. Those step samurai also shot forward one after another. In the darkness, the ninja seemed to let out a scream. In the empty sedan chair, a few wooden planks Suddenly moved, and then turned over, a middle-aged man who was exactly the same as the one who had just been stabbed to death staggered out of the sedan chair, and took a look at the corpse that fell under the knife. The face was so white that there was no blood.

Fortunately, there was a shadow samurai who died for him this time, otherwise, it would have been him, Mori Hideyuki.

A moment later, the galloping red warriors turned back again, and a few round things with red marks were thrown to the ground, and several accompanying warriors immediately went to lift the veil covering them, and immediately one was extraordinarily tall, With a full height of 1.6 meters, the sturdy retainer with a big arm and a round waist turned back with his head in his hand, and knelt hard on the ground intertwined with blood and mud.

"My lord, it's from the Yoshikawa family!"

"No wonder that bastard Yoshikawa Hiromasa was about to part ways with the lord just now. He set up an ambush to take the lord's life!"

"Catch up and kill him!"

"The bitter slave is pressing the way!"

Amidst the roars, the warriors of the Maoli family ran away, furious and about to catch up, but at this time, Maoli Shujiu's rationality was not covered by fear, and he roared desperately.

"Give me my supervisor to stop!"

"Lord!"

Looking at the faces of his retainers who were twitching in anger, he took a deep breath, and the head of the Maori family said darkly.

"Speaking is forbidden at this time! Let's go back to Hagi City with all our strength and then talk!"

Under his yelling and cursing, the guarding warriors had no choice but to hold back their anger, got on their horses again, and hurriedly marched southwest.

However, if it was so easy to be suppressed, it would not be a well-designed trap. The Maori Family Governor and his party marched for less than ten miles, and came head-on. A dark army holding bright torches rushed towards the Maori Family Supervisor. Under the dim light of the torch on a rainy night, against the light yellow one-character three-star flag of the Maori family, there was a sense of gloom.

"But the lord is in front?"

Chapter 268. Maori riots

Those who came made the accompanying samurai feel relieved. Zhidao Liangcun, the general of the Maori family, and several generations of pedigrees, and he brought quite a few samurai with him. There were five hundred warriors on horseback. At least two thousand, with the protection of this team, the Maori retainers who had just experienced the assassination were particularly relieved.

But when he got off the sedan chair and looked at the team in front of him, Mao Lixiu's heart was extremely cold, full of shock and anger, he yelled angrily.

"Who told you to gather together, do you want to rebel?"

"My lord is fine. Taking advantage of the turmoil in my Mori family these days, the Yoshikawa family has assassinated my clan's servants Zongyou, Komatsumaru, Tsunayoshi-sama, and Genrei-sama several times. The elders of the family are worried about the family governor and sent their subordinates to lead Family samurai welcome!"

Kneeling suddenly on the ground, Zhidao Liangcun yelled angrily, and Patriarch Maori's heart skipped a beat again when he heard these words.

But before he could open his mouth, the young people who served beside him couldn't wait to complain.

"The house governor is uneasy! Just now Hiromasa Yoshikawa planted an assassin with the intention of assassinating the lord, and the shadow samurai Cunliang died! Many small people were killed! The lord escaped and came back by chance!"

This chaotic yelling completely ignited the powder keg, and howled like a wolf. Shidao Liangcun stood up and turned on his horse regardless of his care, pulled out his two-meter-long Nodachi, and roared angrily stand up.

"Since the Great War of Sekigahara! His Yoshikawa family's ambition to destroy my clan has never stopped, and almost even captured Shufang Nagato. Now they are trying to obliterate the blood of my clan and seize Maoli! Killing the master means starting a war! The Mori family The samurai! I want these Yoshikawa family to pay with their blood!"

"Blood Debt, Blood Debt! Blood Debt, Blood Debt!"

Originally, it was full of resentment because of the reduced seal and poverty, but now the assassination ignited the fuse. Thousands of Maori warriors roared hysterically, and then hundreds of warriors on horseback ran wildly, followed by sword warriors The gun warrior strode forward with extremely angry strides.

"Come back! Bring everyone back to my supervisor!"

His body was covered with smudges and mud. In the military formation, Mao Lixiu shouted angrily. Unfortunately, he could no longer control the out-of-control family warriors. He had suppressed his anger for decades, and this time he was completely like a powder keg It just exploded like that.

The Maori samurai hated the shogunate and the Tokugawa family, but what they hated most was the Yoshikawa family who were also Maori relatives!

When it comes to the Yoshikawa family, we have to mention the rise of the Mori family, Motozuo Mori. In order to completely unify the power of the Mori family Aki, Mori Moto let his second son adopt him to the Yoshikawa family, inheriting the governor of the Yoshikawa family, and the third son adopted him to the Kobayakawa family. , Inherit the governor of the Kobayakawa family. In the Warring States Period of Japan, this kind of surname change and inheritance was too common. This is one of the reasons why Kaiji wanted Mao Jue to worship Guo Matsumaru as his adoptive father and inherit the governor of the Toyotomi family. Beautiful, really not many.

The earliest Maori family, also known as Maori Liangchuan, is because the two branches of this family worked together to build a small Maori family into a powerful feudal clan that occupies at most seven countries and has a stone height of more than 120 million stones. super name.

But that era is really a pity. Almost all the fierce men in the history of the Japanese kingdom appeared. First, the extremely tyrannical Sixth Heaven Demon King Oda Nobunaga defeated the Maori family with an iron-clad ship in a series of battles at Ishiyama Honganji Temple. Sailor, immediately after, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a scheming, rude and domineering monkey, took over Oda Hegemony, forcing the Mori family to bow their heads. Hideyori's adopted son Xiuqiu, who was a threat to the succession of the main family, adopted the Mori family. Unfortunately, the Mori family found out.

But Kobayakawa's lineage was separated, and the political structure of Maori and Sichuan began to collapse.
