Overnight, the entire outskirts of Heiankyo became a pot of porridge, with killings and countless deaths. The Matsumoto family, the largest clan, suffered the heaviest losses, two elders were assassinated, and their families were almost wiped out.

After receiving the retribution, Matsumoto Patriarch Matsumoto Xiaoxiong was furious and immediately sent the ninjas of the clan to start a counterattack against the assassins who came to assassinate them.

At the same time, the Tahara family also suffered heavy losses, an elder's entire family was killed, more than 200 innocent clansmen were killed and wounded, and more than a dozen houses were burned.

After receiving the report, the patriarch of the Tahara family also sent the best hands of the clan as soon as possible, and also began to besiege these assassins who arrived inexplicably.

However, to the disappointment of the two families, the men they sent out to besiege and kill still failed to find any trace of the Assassin until dawn. It's as if these assassins who suddenly appear and disappear are like ghosts, and it is difficult to grasp.

The Uemura family was also burned down more than a dozen houses during the night, and more than 300 people were reportedly killed or wounded. As soon as the day dawned, Kamimura Hanoi, who had not slept all night, received a letter from the other two family patriarchs.

The content is the same, that is, I hope that Uemura Kawachi will immediately go to the Matsumoto family to gather and thoroughly investigate what happened last night.

Obviously, as soon as the morning dawned, the three major families already knew that all three families had been assassinated last night. Before the situation is clear, it is normal for the patriarchs of the three families to sit down and discuss.

Uemura Kawachi threw away the invitation, laughed dryly twice, changed into clothes, and went to the Matsumoto family with dozens of guards. In such a tense situation, Uemura Hanoi only brought a few dozen guards to the Matsumoto family, not because he was arrogant, but because there was an agreement between the three major families. No matter how great the hatred is, it is absolutely not allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to kill the killer when they get together.

This is the foundation of the great family, and it is also the rule since ancient times. So far, no one has destroyed it. No family dares to break this rule, and they have a very high spirit of bushido, once they break this rule, then this family can no longer be trusted by others.

The Uemura family is in the west, the Matsumoto family is in the east, and the Tahara family is in the south, and the three families are within a dozen miles of each other. The distance was not too far, and it took less than an hour for Uemura Kawachi to travel slowly in a horse-drawn carriage to reach the town of the Matsumoto family.

The Matsumoto family is the largest family in the Japanese country, and the size and area of this town are more than double that of the Kamimura family. Maybe it was the assassination that happened last night, and the town of Matsumoto is heavily guarded at the moment. Carriages and people entering and leaving must be closely checked.

The arrival of Uemura Kawachi naturally did not need to be checked, and after the guards showed their identification, the guards of the Matsumoto family immediately let them go.

Horse-drawn carriages walk slowly along the main street of Matsumoto Town, and the shops on both sides of the former bustle are closed and closed. There were very few people walking on the road, but a group of guards of the Matsumoto family were patrolling with knives.

Soon, Kamimura Kawachi had arrived at the Matsumoto family's residence, a mansion built in the middle of the town. The high walls completely cut off the scenery from the inside, and the inside is not visible from the outside.

Uemura Hanoi's arrival was apparently informed early in the morning, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw two familiar figures already waiting at the door.

"Brother Shangcun Hanoi, it has been more than two months since I parted last time, and today I see my brother's ruddy complexion, and I think I have been quite comfortable recently." Matsumoto opened his mouth and chuckled.

It's just that there is obviously a thorn in his words, which makes people feel uncomfortable after listening to it. Uemura Kawachi obviously knew a lot about Matsumoto Koo, and he smiled indifferently and said, "Brother Matsumoto, don't come unharmed." ”

Compared with this kind of person who hides a knife in his smile, it is obviously not the habit of Uemura Kawachi, and the benefit of the tongue is not good in reality. Matsumoto Xiaoxiong is so annoying to speak, and he is just hinting to others, asking others to remember that he is the patriarch of the largest family in the Japanese country.

After casually taking care of Matsumoto Koo, Uemura Kawachi turned his gaze to the Tanhara Wild Crane on the side. The short, short and chubby Tian Yuan Wild Crane has a very honest appearance, and he often has a smiling face on his face, which looks very kind. But if you think that the cranes in the field are easy to get along with, it is very likely that you will not know how you will die in the future.

After all, he is the patriarch of the second largest family in the Japanese Kingdom, and the person who can sit in this position is definitely not a good match. Living in this realistic and cruel world, people without real talents will not be able to reach the top of the pyramid at all.

"Brother Tian Yuan Ye He, don't come unharmed!" Uemura Kawachi had a sincere smile on his face this time.

"Brother Uemura Hanoi, don't come unharmed!" Tian Yuan Yehe politely hugged his fists in return, and there was still that faint smile on his face.

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong saw that Uemura Kawachi treated Tananotsuru differently from himself, and immediately became dissatisfied. In fact, Matsumoto Xiaoxiong has always looked down on the Uemura family, who started later, and thinks that the Uemura family is just lucky, so they can profit and rise in this battle for the major families.

No matter how dissatisfied I am with Shangcun Hanoi in my heart, the person who comes is a guest, and the courtesy that should be given must be enough. Matsumoto then invited Uemura Kawachi into the mansion.

After the three of them sat down in the hall one after another, Matsumoto Xiaoxiong said bluntly: "Last night, all three of us were attacked at the same time, and the casualties and losses were quite large. But so far, we have not found any trace of the murderer, this matter is very strange, two brothers, who do you think will want to do it to our three families behind it? ”

Uemura Kawachi and Tahara Notsuru glanced at each other, and they both saw the answer in each other's eyes. Tian Yuan Yehe then said slowly: "Now the people who dare to be enemies of our three families at the same time, except for the Dongjiang Army, no one else has this strength. ”

"What Tian Yuan Ye Hejun said is extremely true, at present, in the Wa Kingdom, there is indeed no one else who has this strength except for the Dongjiang Army." Kamimura then chimed in.

Matsumoto also nodded and said, "I think so too, but there is not enough evidence to prove that it was the Dongjiang Army. In this way, even if we want to crusade against the Dongjiang Army, there is no name for the division. ”

When Tahara Yehe heard this, he immediately frowned, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Matsumoto Xiaoxiongjun, the matter of the crusade against the Dongjiang Army can be talked about here. If it reaches Mao Wenlong's ears, I am afraid that the Matsumoto family will definitely not have good fruits to eat in the future. ”

This is very hurtful and very direct. Matsumoto's face also changed on the spot after hearing this, but then he quickly calmed down and gave Tahara Wild Crane a grateful look.
