The sky was full of stars but there was no moonlight, a cloud just covered the original full moon, and in the dark night, a group of samurai wrapped in night clothes rushed into the wilderness.

The samurai's gallop was extremely fast but only emitted a very small movement, and all of them were as light as swallows, which showed that they were all good hands. The leader was tall, with two katanas pinned to his waist, and the only exposed eye revealed a fierce gaze, staring at the path in front of him.

Since the Matsumoto family attack on the Uemura family was exposed, they began to close the door and ignore the rights and wrongs outside. This approach has paid off, at least for now, the Matsumoto family is no longer so passive. The Tahara family, who had enmity with them, was also depressed, and did not dare to act rashly at will.

When the eyes of the entire Wa Kingdom were focused on the two great families of Matsumoto and Tahara, these two great families wisely chose to fall silent. Let those small families who are ready to move and look forward to picking up cheap are very disappointed.

In the dark night, in the wasteland less than a mile outside the town of Matsumoto, hundreds of black-clothed samurai quietly lurked. A pair of green eyes, constantly staring at the guards on the high wall.

The tall man in black was clearly the leader of these warriors, and he looked up as the moon in the sky was once again obscured by the clouds. Decisively ordered an attack on the town of Matsumoto.

Hundreds of black-clad warriors held a neatly bound package in their hands, and then quietly approached the high wall. Hundreds of packages were quickly placed neatly and piled up in the corners. The gunpowder fuse was then attached. The tall man in black waved his hand and all the samurai retreated like a tide, took out a fire fold from his arms, and after blowing it, the man in black hesitated for a moment before lighting the gunpowder fuse.

After the fuse was lit, the man in black turned around and ran, faster than a rabbit.

"Boom ......"

In the silence of the night, an earth-shattering explosion sounded.

I saw that the wall, which was about five meters high and 100 meters long, collapsed after the explosion. The guards on the walls who didn't know anything were the ghosts of the people who died without knowing why they died.

An arrow exploded in the night sky after the explosion, and hundreds of black-clad samurai instantly drew their swords and rushed through the crumbling high wall and into the town of Matsumoto.

The Matsumoto people, who were completely defenseless, were immediately killed with screams one after another, and the entire town fell into chaos in an instant.

At the same time, the small town of Tahara, more than a dozen miles away, was suffering from the same attack. The high wall was also blown up by the explosives pack, and hundreds of black-clad warriors then rushed in, killing people on sight, and the scene was extremely bloody.

Attacks without warning are always unguardable, especially when the wall collapses in an instant. This is even more unheard of, unknown, confused, and the sound of killing everywhere, which completely disrupted the town of Tahara.

The loud explosion had already woken up the sleeping Tahara Crane, and as soon as he woke up, he had to report that his clan had been attacked by an unknown enemy.

When the wild crane hurriedly brought it to defend it, he found that the enemy had already retreated, leaving only the collapsed high walls, the corpses all over the ground after the killing, and the thick smell of blood wafting through the air.

Looking at the mess all over the ground and listening to the painful moans in his ears, a fierce anger suddenly rose in the heart of the wild crane in the field. He shouted angrily: "Immediately find out who the murderer is, you must find it before dawn, if you can't find it, you won't tolerate it!" ”

The tragic situation in Tahara Town was also played out in Matsumoto Town, but Matsumoto Koo was much calmer than Tahara Nozuru. This guy is no longer as easily angry as usual, and the bad things that have happened recently have hit him quite hard. Instead of being arrogant in the past, he has become very calm now.

Matsumoto Ono hurriedly came to Matsumoto Koo's front and said urgently: "Patriarch, our guards have more than 300 dead and wounded, and more than 500 clansmen have suffered casualties. Now the injured are being treated with all their might, and from the traces of the murderer's fall and the oral accounts of those who were injured, we can confirm that the murderer of this attack is a member of the Tahara family. ”

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong was still very calm after receiving the report, and did not show the slightest anger. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Such an obvious method of blame is too clumsy, if the mastermind behind it is the Tahara family, it will definitely not be like this." If I'm not mistaken, the Tahara family of this association must have suffered the same situation as us, and it seems that there must be someone who doesn't want our two families to stop. ”

After calming down, Matsumoto quickly thought to the depths, and from the first attack to a series of events that happened later, he had a lot of doubts.

Matsumoto Ono pondered for a moment, and then suddenly said: "What the patriarch means is that someone is manipulating behind this, and the purpose is to let us fight with the Tahara family. ”

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong smiled bitterly and nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the real black hand behind this scene should be the Dongjiang Army." They are the only ones who have the strength to attack so quickly. ”

Looking at the entire Wa Kingdom, in fact, except for the Dongjiang Army, there is indeed no one who can do this. And the Matsumoto family and the Tahara family will be trapped in this way, in fact, they are both taking advantage of their respective suspicions.

"Patriarch, what should we do?" Matsumoto Ono said worriedly.

"I'll write a letter right now, you personally go to the Tahara family and give the letter to Tahara Nozuru. Then wait for his reply, and then come back to me. After Matsumoto finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his study to write a letter.

Matsumoto Ono followed closely behind, and only after getting the letter did he take his leave and leave in a hurry.

The town of Matsumoto is busy cleaning up the mess, and the Tahara family is also picking up the mess, but they are still tracking down the killer.

And the murderers who created this chaos, the Uemura family, are terrifyingly calm. More than 1,000 samurai followed Kamimura Hanoi out to attack the two great families, and only more than 700 people returned safely. Although more than 300 people were killed and wounded, the task was completed beautifully.

Kamimura Hanoi did not break his promise, and after returning to the clan, he fulfilled his previous promise as soon as possible.

The four elders sat aside, while Uemura Kawachi had already taken off his night clothes, changed into regular clothes, and sat on the throne with his eyes closed. He was waiting, waiting for those who had gone to inquire about the news to come back and report the reaction of the Matsumoto and Tahara families.

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and a hurried guard rushed into the hall and bowed to Kamimura Kawachi: "Patriarch, the Matsumoto family and the Tahara family have not made any unusual moves so far, let alone seen any signs of their fighting. ”
