Chapter 138: Here Comes the Money Giver

The heavy rains in recent days gradually dissipated the atmosphere of war. Both the Luo family and the Ukuraku family chose to stop in such heavy rain. After learning that the Luo family had arranged military forces opposite the Mangarikawa, the Ukuraku family also arranged military forces in Mangari Castle and Tanoo Castle respectively, and the two families confronted each other through Mangarikawa.

In response to this, Zhengliang smiled faintly. It seemed that the other party was trapped. The standing troops of the Shangcang family could not achieve defense in both directions at the same time, so Shangcang Yuye would inevitably mobilize the peasant soldiers. If this continues, it will only consume food continuously and cause dissatisfaction among peasant soldiers, especially in this autumn harvest season. When the conflict intensifies, it will be the time for the Luo family to go out. Shangcang family is already a rat in a cage, and no matter how hard it is, it will become the prey of the Luo family.

Of course, Zhengliang has also been very worried these days because there is another more headache waiting for him to solve.

"Husband, are you having anything to worry about?" Seeing that Zhengliang frowned in the past few days, Kikuhime, who had brought two maids to serve Zhengliang a few days ago, couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Yes," Masayoshi hugged Kikuhime in her arms, gently stroked her hair, and said, "It's a problem with coins, there will be a way to solve it, you don't have to worry."

"You'll go back to Seoul tomorrow. The people here have just moved here, and the situation is a bit unstable." Zhengliang said, kissing Juji's hair.

In order to ensure that the new migration to Yunoo Castle is settled as soon as possible, Masara led the cape crowd and the low-level samurai team to temporarily station in Yunoo Castle. At the same time, this place is closer to the border of the newly occupied territory, and once there is any abnormality, it can also be quickly supported.

"Well, I'll go back tomorrow," said Kikumi, who had always obeyed Masayoshi's advice.

"So, while we have time, should we work hard to give birth to an heir as soon as possible?" Zhengliang said hilariously.

"Ah?" Juji thought of the serious Zhengliang who suddenly teased her. She immediately blushed and buried her head deeply in Zhengliang's chest, as if she could pick it.

Masayoshi took advantage of the situation and walked towards the resting room...

In the early morning of August 22, after sending Juji away and returning to the lord's mansion, Seoul, Masayoshi suddenly received an urgent report from the detective.

"Is the information true?" Zhengliang looked at a detective who was kneeling on the ground below and confirmed again.

"Yes, sir. The young master of the Huzi family personally led dozens of samurai and escorted a batch of supplies to the Ishida family. It is expected that he will pass near his territory this afternoon," the investigation confirmed.

"Very good, you can lead the way immediately and follow me to Jiubao City," Zhengliang ordered.

.............

In the afternoon, a team slowly walked up the muddy mountain road. At the front were more than a dozen farmers pushing carts, and behind was a team of more than twenty samurai. In the center of the team was a young man who looked over 20 years old. This young man was Masayo Huzi who took the initiative to lead the team to transport aid supplies to the Ishida family. Originally, he was not responsible for the far-sending work this time, but he took the initiative to take over it.

"Your Highness, there is a fork in front of you. To the left is a small road leading to the Ishida family. The distance is closer to the Ishida family, but the road is narrow, and along the road is full of woods and mountains; to the right is the territory of the Hashida family, from which you can reach the Ishida family through the Inu Bark Valley. It is a little far from the Ishida family, but along the road is full of roads. The nearest road seems to be blocked by the Luo family, the Luo family, which destroyed the Ishida family," a samurai came to report.

"Hmph" When he heard that it was the Luo family, Hu Zi Zhengyou snorted coldly.

Last time, he secretly instigated the Taijiu family and the Nagakura family to attack Luo's Masayoshi, but he did not expect that these two little tyrants would be so useless. They failed to attack. They were killed and shot again. In the end, they ended up dead and destroyed their families, which made Huzi Masayoshi happy. This time, Huzi Masayoshi went to the Ishida family in person, preparing to join forces with the Ishida family to attempt to give the Luo family a heavy blow. He had already thought of the specific plan. Thinking of the Luo family's death and destroyed their families, Huzi Masayoshi couldn't help laughing. Humi, Luo's Masayoshi, you must be revenged for the revenge of taking his wife. This time, you must torture you to death. And the little bitch from the Taijiu family took the initiative to embrace Luo's Masayoshi? This time, you must catch it and have some fun.

Seeing the young master laughing strangely, the warriors around him seemed to have become accustomed to it. The warrior who came to report also lowered his head and knelt on the ground, waiting for the orders of Huzi Zhengyou.

"Let's go to the left," Huzi Masato decided to say. This time he came to join forces with the Ishida family secretly, and of course he could not pass through the road controlled by the Luo family. Although the road on the left is not suitable for the material team to move forward quickly, what's the problem? Worrying that someone would be sneak attacked? This is impossible. With the reputation of the Huzi family alone, no one in the nearby powerful people would blatantly launch a sneak attack. What's more, there are more than 20 samurai in the team, which is enough to ensure safety along the way.

It is said that the youngest daughter of the Ishida family is only about 10 years old and looks good. It seems that she has to enjoy it tonight. Thinking of this, Masato Huzi immediately shouted loudly, "Let those damn farmers hurry up."

The team once again turned into the path on the left under the urging of Hu Zi Zhengyou.

"Hu...hu..." Half an hour later, the marching team lined up in a long and slow mountain road. At this time, the front suddenly stopped. Hu Zi Zhengyou shook the mud on his feet and shouted with breath, "What's going on ahead?"

"Your Highness, a cart in front is trapped in a mud pit. The farmers are trying to pull the cart up." A warrior hurried over to report.

"It's really hard to do such a ghost place. Let those untouchables hurry up." After knowing the situation, Masato Huzi had no choice but to say helplessly, "Have you sent to the Ishida family to ask for the people who came to pick him up?"

"Your Highness, the people have already set off. I guess the people from the Ishida family will arrive soon. Your Highness, why not leave a few samurai to the farmers and continue to move forward. The rest of them will escort your priest to the Ishida family first." The samurai who reported to him saw the young master's impatientness, so he suggested tactfully.

"Hmm?" After hearing his subordinate's suggestion, Masato Huzi was very moved. He had just arrived at Ishida's house first and asked the youngest daughter of Ishida's department to serve her.

"Swoosh, swosh, swosh..." Just as Hu Zi Zhengyou was hesitating, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the mountains and forests on both sides, "Ah! Ah!", and the people who were caught off guard were immediately caught in arrows and screamed.

"No, Your Highness, the enemy attacks, lie down quickly." The warrior who was reporting immediately shouted when he saw this, and at the same time he was preparing to form a human wall with several warriors to tightly protect Masayo Huzi.

"Damn it, who is it? Who is so bold? He attacked the Huzi family's team?" After calming down, Huzi Zhengyou immediately shouted to the mountains and forests. He tried to use the reputation of Huzi family to deter the other party, but what responded to him was still a rain of arrows after a while.

Seeing the Huzi family warriors who tried to kill into the mountains and forests but were shot down by feather arrows shot out from the mountains and forests, Huzi Masayoshi's eyes collapsed. These were the warriors who had spent a lot of resources to cultivate. Now they were not dead on the battlefield where the Huzi family snatched interests for the Huzi family, but were shot and killed at will like prey.

These Huzi samurai were indeed extremely depressed at the moment. Not only did they have to avoid the cold arrows shot around the forest, but they also had to beware of the bamboo guns stretching out from the bushes under their feet. They were simply unpredictable. Soon, in less than half an hour, except for the farmers hiding under the cart in the distance, Huzi Masayoshi was left with three warriors who could still stand.

The "Sharp Rag" arrow rain finally ended, and hundreds of bandits covered their faces with rags walked out of the jungle, surrounding Hu Zi Zhengyou.

"Who are you?" Hu Zi Zhengyou said in a panic. Now he was indeed a little scared. Not only was the other party not scared away by his words, but instead shot his guard more and more violently, obviously not planning to let him go.

"Kill" those covered people without any answer, and directly killed three samurai who guarded Hu Zi Masato. Although the three samurai resisted desperately, they were eventually beaten to death, and Hu Zi Masato was also blindfolded and tied up.

"Your Highness, the battle is over." On a hill in the nearby forest, Zhengliang was closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield. At this time, a cloak came to report.

"Very good, clean the battlefield. No one left. As for those farmers, let him go back to report the news, and let them transport the grain from the cart back to the territory, and then temporarily replenish them into the captive team." Zhengliang ordered, "Be careful to clear the traces of the cart, and don't find us based on the traces of the cart."

The cloaks behind him took the order and left.

After receiving the whereabouts of Huzi Masayoshi in the morning, Masayoshi had an idea. Didn’t the one who gave the money come? As long as the attack on Huzi Masayoshi halfway can not only rob the 500 stones of food to help the Ishida family, but also capture Huzi Masayoshi. Then the Huzi family handed over the ransom before releasing it. Isn’t the coins obtained? Of course, this attack cannot be carried out in a blatant way. Now the Luo family does not want to conflict with the Huzi family head-on, so it is perfect to pretend to be a bandit. When the last time he was attacking the Tayuan family, the Luo family also pretended to be a bandit.

"Your Highness, did you directly kill Hu Zi Zhengyou? In this way, the Hu Zi family will lose a young master," said Daxi Guozhi, who followed Zheng Liang.

"No, Guozhi. This will anger the Huzi family. Although it is impossible to confirm that the attack was done by our family, since the attack was close to our family, our family will inevitably be suspected. Therefore, once the young master of the Huzi family is killed, Huzi Datomo will inevitably attack all suspected objects at all. And our family is not suitable for head-on encounters with the Huzi family, especially when the Hodo family is about to attack Hirado Matsuura," Masayoshi shook his head and said, "What's more, Huzi Datomo has several sons, and his two sons who have already been subdued have also been sent to the rich family's home near Huzi family. Once the legitimate son is killed, Huzi Datomo can establish another heir. Therefore, killing Huzi Datomomo will not do any good for our family."

In fact, Zhengliang did plan to return Huzi Zhengyou to Huzi's family after collecting the ransom for Huzi's family. Of course, what will be returned will be a Huzi Zhengyou whose right foot is interrupted. In this way, when the disabled legitimate son returns home, he will definitely be questioned and his status will decline. I believe that those Huzi Zhengyou brothers who are unwilling to be unable to continue their family supervision will never miss such an opportunity.

In the evening, when the only released Huzi family farmer returned to Huzi family territory, Huzi family immediately caused a huge wave.
