"Oh? Are you sure?"
Hearing this, Daimyo Inoue couldn't help frowning. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen those three ninjas for a long time. Could it be that they really did it?
But I haven't given them a task, what kind of situation is this?
The messenger snorted coldly, and then clapped his hands: "I'm afraid you won't admit it, we specially brought evidence here!"
With the sound of clapping, a soldier walked in holding a wooden box.
The outsiders didn't try to stop them too much. After all, when hostile forces assassinate daimyos, ninjas usually do it. They have never heard of ordinary people putting hidden weapons in boxes to kill daimyos.
"Open it!"
Looking at the box in the soldier's hand, Daimyo Inoue ordered.
The soldier listened to the order to open it, and a human head was placed in the box, which was the thorn;
One of the three ninjas who killed Daimyo Tanaka.
"This... is it really him?" Daimyo Inoue looked a little uncertain.
Seeing this, the messenger sneered: "Daimyo Inoue, what else do you have to say!"
When the matter developed to this point, the ministers below couldn't sit still anymore, and one of them stood up and wanted to refute: "Hey! Don't..."
"All right!"
Before the minister finished speaking, Daimyo Inoue interrupted the other party.
Then, he looked at the messenger and said, "This is indeed the ninja guard I hired, but I never let him assassinate Daimyo Tanaka, I can guarantee that!"
The envoy sneered and said, "Daimyo Inoue, when you were in Daming Mansion, you acted aggressively and wanted to take over the power of the former defenders. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say that?"
Inoue Daimyo's eyes had the slightest emotion: "I said before, I didn't send the person. In order to prove my innocence, I will personally go to the original guarding the city's Daming Mansion tomorrow to confront the former guarding ministers!"
"Ok?"
Hearing this, the envoy was stunned for a moment. Daimyo Inoue was going to the original guard castle. Is it true?
"You go back, remember to take my words back, I will definitely go to the original guard city tomorrow to prove my innocence."
Daimyo Inoue waved his hand, signaling the envoy to retreat and leave Kawashita Castle.
The envoy was a little at a loss after being messed up like this, so he could only salute and exit the Daming Mansion, and then returned east to the original guarding city.
Seeing that the envoy was far away, the ministers hurriedly asked: "My lord, are you really going to the original guard city tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Daimyo Inoue nodded.
"But, if you go, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!" The minister looked at Daimyo Inoue worriedly.
The other ministers hurriedly nodded in agreement: "That's right, my lord, you can't go here!"
Daimyo Inoue looked at the ministers with a smile on his face: "From tomorrow onwards, the original guard will be my power. I go to my own territory. What's the danger?"
"what?"
The ministers looked at Daimyo Inoue in confusion.
What do you mean, why did the former defenders of the city become their own sphere of influence?
Daimyo Inoue raised his mouth slightly to explain;
Said: "Didn't I say that tomorrow I will personally go to Yuanshoucheng to confront him, after getting this news, Yuanshoucheng will definitely relax his vigilance tonight.
As long as I can send someone to kill that man named Shanshang Cheye tonight, and then control the ministers who were guarding the city, hehe..."
Speaking of this, Inoue Daimyo couldn't help but sneer, and one of the ministers immediately added: "Then Daimyo-sama will lead the army over there, and he will be able to easily capture the forces that were originally defending the city."
"That's right, that's it!" Daimyo Inoue looked at him approvingly.
And the other ministers who heard the plan immediately flattered: "Your name is wise!"
"However, Yuan Shoucheng was able to kill three Jōnin. It seems that the other side also hired powerful ninjas."
Daimyo Inoue rubbed his chin and thought about it: "If I want to kill the opponent, I have to pay a higher price and hire stronger ninjas."
Thinking of this, Daimyo Inoue couldn't help but feel pain on his face: "You sent someone to the west..."
It's approaching evening.
The envoy returned to the original castle and brought back Daimyo Inoue's words.
"You said that Inoue will come to defend the castle in person tomorrow?" Shan Shang Toruo frowned and looked at the envoy below.
The envoy nodded: "That's right, Mr. Inoue, that's what Daimyo Inoue said."
Shan Shang Cheye was silent for a few seconds, then waved his hand: "Go out."
The messenger saluted, and then left the room.
Shan Shangcheye looked at Yuyi Qianhan respectfully: "Young patriarch, what should we do now?"
Chihan Yuromo thought for a moment: "The first possibility is that Inoue may really come to Hara Shoujo to confront us tomorrow, but the other party should not be so stupid, so this possibility is basically ruled out. It is the second possibility.
The purpose of the other party's words is to make us relax our vigilance, but his real purpose is very likely to carry out some kind of conspiracy against us this evening or tomorrow morning. "
Yu Yi Zhengfang next to him said: "Then what exactly does the other party want to do?"
Yuyi Qianhan's eyes narrowed slightly: "I think I already know what the other party wants to do..."
Chapter 179 Silver-haired Youth
In the dark night, the sound of insects sounded from time to time, adding a touch of coolness to this summer night.
On the roof of the Daming Mansion, Masahiro Yu was holding a Taidao in his hand, sitting quietly like this, looking at the stars in the distance.
Although he seemed to be in a trance, his attention was always on the movement around him.
This is the task entrusted to him by the young patriarch, to protect Shanshang Touye, who is in the Daming Mansion, and the ministers.
That's right, since Yuyi Qianhan had guessed what Inoue Daimyo wanted to do, how could he not take precautions against it.
Yuyi Zhengfang sitting here is the countermeasure Yuyi Qianhan made. A patriarch-level powerhouse here is enough to face all ghosts and snakes.
As for him himself, he came to the tower to the west of the original guard city.
Daimyo Inoue's sphere of influence is on the west side of the original castle, so if Daimyo Inoue wants to hire ninjas to assassinate, there is a high probability that they will come from the west.Reading room novel network;
Of course, even if the other party didn't come from the west, it didn't matter, Yu Yi Qianhan had enough reaction time to go to another direction.
After all, the space ninjutsu of ice jumping is no joke.
At this time, the moon has moved westward.
Looking at the half moon in front of him, Yuyi Qianhan can probably confirm that it is already past three o'clock in the morning.
……
Far away from Kawashita Castle, a silver-haired ninja with a dagger on his back was moving forward quickly.
After receiving Daimyo Inoue's mission, he immediately left the clan land and went to the place where the mission target was located.
After traveling for so long, he finally got close to the place where the original guard was.
In this regard, his heart is also full of helplessness.
He really convinced Inoue Daimyo, and it was embarrassing to suddenly release such an urgent task.
And Yu Yi Qianhan standing on the tower was also the first to notice that a powerful ninja broke into his range of perception.
After confirming the opponent's position, Yuyi Qianhan began to calmly feel the ice attribute natural energy not far in front of the opponent.
In the next second, under the moonlight, the color of frost flashed.
Swish!
A figure instantly appeared not far in front of the silver-haired youth.
tread!
Bass~
The silver-haired youth found someone;
It suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, so I stopped abruptly, and instantly pulled out the short knife on my back.
"Who is your Excellency?"
The silver-haired young man carefully looked at the figure in front of him.
Chihan Yu's tone was calm: "You were sent by Daimyo Inoue, right?"
The silver-haired young man held a dagger in his hand and said coldly, "Your Excellency, please step aside!"
"This road doesn't work!"
Yuyi Qianhan put his hands behind his back, his voice was full of unquestionable tone.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed in the dark night.
With the sound of a slight airflow, the silver-haired youth had already killed Yu Yiqianhan with a short knife in his hand, and a light like Lei Feilei flowed on his blade.
However, although the speed of the silver-haired youth's move has reached a level that ordinary people can't match, Yuyi Qianhan still reacted, and immediately condensed an ice skate to meet him.
Ding!
The short knife and the ice blade collided, making a crisp sound.
However, the next second.
Kacha~
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the ice blade, and then the crack expanded rapidly.
Seeing this situation, Yuyi Qianhan couldn't help admiring: "What a fast speed, what a sharp knife!"
"However, my speed is faster!"
After the voice fell, Yu Yiqianhan instantly used the ice jump to appear behind the opponent: "Spiral Wan!"
At this moment, the silver-haired young man directly understood what it means to have a thorny back.
The sense of crisis behind him made him subconsciously pass the dagger through his armpit.
Nourishes—
In an instant, a large number of sparks flew.
I saw the silver-haired young man holding a short knife in his right hand, the blade passed through his left armpit, and the tip of the knife directly hit the spiral pill.
boom!
Yu Yi Qianhan instantly exerted force, and the spiral pill directly burst out with huge force, blasting the silver-haired youth away.
"So strong!"
The silver-haired young man slid several meters away after landing, and at the same time couldn't help but whisper in his heart.
The person in front of him is of extraordinary strength, and he is definitely his formidable enemy. However, only by facing such an enemy can his strength grow!
In the next second, the pupils of the silver-haired youth froze, and a sharp breath emanated from the dagger.
"Let me see how strong your knife skills are!"
At this moment, Yu Yi Qianhan suddenly became interested, wanting to test the opponent's strength;
How strong is the force.
At the same time, he also had some guesses about the identity of the silver-haired youth.
With such a fast speed and such strong sword skills, it is estimated that only the Hatake clan can have such a character.Reading room novel network;
While thinking in his heart, Yu Yi Qianhan released a large amount of cold air from his right hand, and an ice skate was instantly formed.
This is not over yet, while the ice skate is forming, the wind attribute chakra on the blade flows, and the Fengshen sword directly wraps the ice skate.
Call ~
The breeze blew past, as if it was some kind of signal, the two men moved towards each other almost at the same time.
Under the moonlight, the two figures kept flickering and confronting each other. The silver-haired young man's knife was like a silver fang, and he seemed to tear the enemy into pieces when he swung it.
In contrast, Yu Yi Qianhan was in the state of being suppressed and beaten by the silver-haired youth almost the whole time during the swordsmanship confrontation. If his hard power was not stronger than the opponent, he would have been defeated long ago.
It can also be seen from this that the sword skills of this silver-haired youth are indeed very powerful.
