The young samurai who came in to deliver the message was Tendo Yorizhen, the son of Tendo Yorijo.

Tiantong Laizhen's fame in history is slightly more famous than his father Tiantong Laichang, in addition to receiving the inheritance of the Mogami family governor, the battle between the Mogami Yoshimitsu and the Mogami Yoshishi, he also thought that the main wife of the Mogami Yoshimitsu was the daughter of Tiantong Yorizhen.

However, at this time, Tiantong Yorizhen was still a young samurai in his prime, and Mogami Yoshimitsu was not even a sperm..........

After hearing the words of Tiantong Laizhen, Tiantong Laichang and the others in the castle tower couldn't help but fall into doubt.

"If what you heard right just now, what Yori-sama said is the envoy of the Hago Tsugawa family?" The one who spoke was the eldest son of Shiratori Yoshihisa, the head of the Shiratori family.

"Exactly!" Tiantong Yorizhen repeated, "The person who came did claim to be a member of the Tsugawa family, and the foreign affairs department was Togo Yoshisuke. ”

"But why did the envoy of the Tsugawa family suddenly come to Tiantong City?" Tiantong Lai Chang looked at the people in the hall with a puzzled expression.

Hearing Tendo Yoshicho's question, Shiratori Yoshihisa and the others also fell into deep thought.

At this time, Shiratori Yoshihisa, who was sitting behind Shiratori Yoshihisa, suddenly spoke: "Have you ever heard that the death of Nakano Yoshikiyo, the head of the Nakano family, came from the Hago region a few days ago? ”

"Of course I know." The head of the Yanze family, Yan Ze, nodded and said, "At this time, it has already spread throughout the entire Mogami County and Murayama County, after all, the Nakano family is also a number of people, and Nakano Yoshikiyo is the biological father of Mogami Yoshimori, and he is also his right-hand man." ”

"But what does Nakano Yoshikiyo's death have to do with the envoy of the Tsugawa family?" Yan Ze Manzhong asked suddenly.

Shiratori smiled for a long time and said, "You don't know! It is said that Nakano Yoshikiyoshi was ordered by Mogami Yoshimori to go to the territory of the Tsugawa family to steal a treasure from the Tsugawa family. However, because he was detected by the Tsugawa family in advance, he was caught. Immediately after that, for unknown reasons, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi died in Ueno Castle, and then the head of the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji, was furious because of the injustice of the Mogami family. It is said that Tsugawa Soji had asked his retainers to mobilize their troops several times, but if it weren't for the fact that it was winter and the heavy snow closed the road, perhaps the Tsugawa family's troops would have surrounded Yamagata Castle by this time. ”

"Is that so?" After hearing Shiratori's words for a long time, Tiantong Lai Zhen and the others said with different faces, but there was a trace of shock in everyone's eyes!

However, some people were skeptical, and the head of the Togen family, Togen Masanacho, said, "But how did Lord Shiratori know about such a secret?" ”

"That's for my father-in-law." As he spoke, Shiratori set his eyes on Kumano Saburo Naganobu, the lord of Yunozawa Castle in the corner on the side.

Seeing Shiratori's eyes on him for a long time, Kumano Naganobu who didn't plan to speak had no choice but to say, "As Shiro (Shiratori's common name) said, Nakano Yoshikiyoshi did die because of this, and the Tsugawa family did have a tendency to send troops to Mogami with this." ”

"The elder brother Gongoro in the lower side room is a businessman who often travels back and forth between Minato Castle and Oura Castle, and this news was also told by Gongoro." Kumano Naganobu said slowly.

"I see!" Yan Ze nodded slowly.

"In this way, could it be that the envoy of the Tsugawa family came to Tiantong City at this time?" Suddenly, Tiantong Lai Chang, who was originally sitting on the main seat without saying a word, seemed to have thought of something, and said with joy in his eyes.

"We've said so much, why don't we invite the messenger of the Tsugawa family in, and then we will naturally know everything!" After saying that, Yoshihisa Shiratori spread his hands and laughed out loud like a self-deprecating laugh!

"Haha!" For a moment, everyone in the hall burst into self-deprecating laughter.

The White Bird Family and the Yanze Family are the second only wealthy families in Murayama County after the Tiantong Family, and the strength of the White Bird Family is slightly stronger than the Yanze Family.

Shiratori has been married to Kumano Naganobu's daughter for a long time, and the two families, which were originally strained, suddenly become close. Immediately afterwards, Nakajo Nagamasa, the sixth generation of the Nakajo clan of the valley castle near Shiratori City, gave up the position of family governor to Shiratori Nagashi because he had no heir, and as a successor, Shiratori Nagashi won a valley castle. For a while, the strength of the White Bird family soared.

Although the territory of the Yanze family is not large, there is a mountain of silver with a lot of output in the territory, and it is a full tyrant!

.......

As soon as Togo Yoshisuke entered the castle tower, he felt that the eyes of everyone in the castle tower were on him.

But anyway, he also went outside to "see the world", of course Togo Yoshiyu will not have stage fright, but bowed slightly to Tiantong Laichang, and then said slowly, "The Tsugawa family, the foreign affairs officer, Togo Yoshiyu, has seen Tiantong Adult." "With the current strength and influence of the Tsugawa family, for a Chinese person like the Tiantong family, who is no more than 10,000 people with a stone height, there is no need to take it too seriously, and it is not rude.

Tiantong Lai Chang didn't dare to snub the retainers of the Tsugawa family, not to mention that he was still a member of the Tsugawa family, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Dongxiang can come to the Tiantong City of this family, it really makes this family shine!" ”

"But I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Dongxiang to come this time?" After speaking, Tiantong Lai Chang looked at Togo Yoshiyu with half-squinted eyes, and his right hand unconsciously stroked his chin.

Dongxiang Yiyou raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Tiantong Lai Chang and the rest of the people in the hall, and then said, "I came here this time to give a generous gift to the Tiantong family!" ”

"Oh? How can this family be able to make Lord Tsukawa give gifts! Tiantong Lai Chang was even more puzzled, he had no connection with the Tsugawa family, what did Dongxiang Yoshiyu do when he came to give gifts? If you want to make friends with Mogami, you should go to Yamagata Castle.

After listening to Tendo Yoshicho's words, Togo Yoshiyu did not answer directly, but turned his gaze to the other people in the hall, and then looked at Tendo Lai Chang.

Tiantong Lai Chang suddenly woke up and said, "It's okay, all the adults in the hall are the head of the White Bird family, Shiratori Yoshihisa, and the head of the Yanze family, Yanze ........" Saying, Tiantong Lai Chang hurriedly introduced the other people in the hall to Togo Yoshisuke, and Shiratori Yoshihisa and others also hurriedly greeted Togo Yoshiyu.

"Huh! It turns out that everyone is here, so I don't have to make a few trips! Togo Yoshiyu thought to himself, "Alas, it's really a person who is old, and he can't accept the old!" It's only been half a year since I went outside to send other forces, and I feel like the whole person is going to collapse, and I really can't compare with the younger generation in the family. Those young people are like Yamaguchi Chokyo and others, one by one. It seems that it won't be long before I should abdicate and make way for Xian, then again, this Yamaguchi Changjiao is really good, that is a malleable talent, and if there is a chance, I will definitely recommend it to the lord. Togo Yoshiyu's thoughts suddenly drifted a little away......

Suddenly, Togo Yoshiyu suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly embarrassedly confessed to Tiantong Lai Chang and the others, and then replied, "Since all the adults are here, then I will be blunt.............."
