After hearing the other party's refusal, the Nine Ghosts Yoshitaka did not get angry, but said with a pleasant face: "Lord Saito, I and Shibei are originally a family, and now that my brother is in trouble, he will definitely not die without help, so after completing this matter, I will personally go to Cheongju City and explain to Shibei that I will not let him blame you." ”

"Lord Nine Ghosts, the collapse of the country is the main hall handed over to my lord to resist the attack of the Kinoshita family, and now the temporary borrowing of the lord to defend the city has gone against the will of the main hall, if there is any problem with the collapse of the country, my wise family really can't afford it. So please think again. "Saito Rizo saw that his lord was not good, so he directly moved out of the Takayama clan.

And the Nine Ghosts Jialong was a little dissatisfied after hearing this, when he met the lord, Wise Guangxiu didn't know where to eat the soil, a mere retainer of a wise family actually used the lord to threaten him, and it was in front of the retainers, how could he stand it, so he immediately said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, even if Wise Guangxiu sues the lord, I am not afraid, hurry up and transport the collapse of the country to the ship to fight with me, if you destroy the Li family's water army, you will not be indispensable." After saying that, he immediately ordered the mobilization of the troops in the city and prepared to go to sea to fight.

It's just that when the navy army should begin to assemble and prepare to leave, he found that Saito Rizo was still standing still, and he couldn't help but be angry: "What, it's so difficult that you still refuse?" ”

"This... Forgiveness is really hard to follow. After hesitating for a moment, Saito Toshizo finally made a decision, he just didn't go, to see what this Nine Ghost Kataka could do to himself, it was so difficult that he really dared to turn his face with the wise family!

It's just that he really underestimated the determination of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, if he didn't eliminate the Li family's water army, then the Kumano water army would really be finished, at this time, how could he care about what Wise Mitsuhide thought, do it first.

So after seeing that the other party still refused, he didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly said to the retainers who were already on standby: "Come on, tie him up for me!" ”

Although he knew that this person was a retainer of the wise family, since the lord had ordered it, the retainers of the Nine Ghost Family naturally didn't care who the person in front of them was, so as soon as his voice fell, he saw Masayuki Funakoshi and five or six retainers of the Nine Ghost Family rushing up, although in terms of martial arts, Saito Rizo was much stronger than them, but because the distance between the two sides was only less than one or two meters, he didn't expect the other party to make such a decision at all, so before he drew his knife, the other party had already rushed over and directly pressed him to the ground.

"Lord Nine Ghosts, if this matter is known to my family master, I will not compromise easily, you have to think clearly." Although the other party made the first move, after all, the identity of the person was there, and it was not good for him to scold directly, otherwise just by virtue of this, the other party would directly kill him, and the lord could only suffer a dumb loss.

"What do you want to do with those useless things, the most important thing now is to eliminate the Li family's water army, when this battle is over, I will personally go to Owari, let the wise Mitsuhide deal with it, lock him up first, take care of him, don't slack off."

After taking Saito Rizo away, the two hundred ashigaru who followed him were dumbfounded, what is the situation, didn't he act as a reinforcement this time, why was Lord Saito directly arrested by the other party, this... What should I do?

The expressions on their faces obviously did not escape the eyes of the Nine Ghosts Jialong, so as soon as these people showed a panicked look, they heard him speak: "Are you the Ashigaru of the Wise Family or the military strength of my Takayama Family?" ”

Listening to the question of the rugged-looking adult in front of him, one of them hurriedly replied: "This adult, the villain, etc., is the Takayama family flag Ashigaru. ”

Hearing this, Nine Ghost Jialong couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, if these ashigaru were to use them if the army of the wise family wanted to use them, since they were under the command of the lord, then there would be no problem. It's right to think about it, such a new thing as the national collapse, where will the group of fools in the wise Mitsuhide's family use it, training the national collapse gunners is much more difficult than training the iron cannon ashigaru, and the big projectile is so precious, how can the lord wait for the wise family to train on his own.

"I am the elder of the Gaoshan family, the commander of the water army, the Nine Ghosts Jialong, at this moment, as the supreme commander of this place, I ask you to obey my orders for the time being!"

Although these two hundred people are the banners of the Takayama family, they are only civilians and not samurai anyway, so it is impossible for them not to listen to the words of the samurai, plus they saw with their own eyes just now that even Lord Saito was polite to Lord Nine Ghosts, so the identity of the elder of the other family will naturally not be fake.

If Saito Toshizo would still be worried about the safety of the national collapse, then they would not have such an idea at all, this is the difference between Ashigaru and samurai, as long as this thing does not fall into the hands of the enemy, then when the lord is not there, and the leading general is not there, naturally whoever has the highest status will listen to whom.

So when the Nine Ghosts Jialong finished speaking, these ashigaru only hesitated for a moment, and then they knelt on the ground and said that they were willing to serve.

This time, the Nine Ghosts Jialong is also going to fight with the Li family's water army, not only leaving only a hundred troops in the city, but also in the water village, not only Anzhai and Guanzhou, but even nearly a thousand Xiaozao have been sent out.

And these nearly 1,000 small mornings were not driven by the sailors as usual, but every fifty were connected by iron cables, and then dragged out of the water village by the house boat, and not only that, these small morning boats were sprinkled with fire oil without exception.

If the retainers of the Nine Ghost Family were still puzzled by this at the beginning, then the moment the fire oil was sprinkled on Xiao Zao's boat, they understood that the lord wanted to use these Xiao Zao to block the enemy's way and completely wipe out the Li family's naval army.

Because the Toba Castle is one east and one west of the Shima Country, even the Toba Castle in the middle did not hear the roar of the collapse of the country, not to mention Li Dan and his son Li Guosuke who are in the water village at the moment, at this time the two are making some plans for the future Li family water army, with their own base on the Ise Peninsula, then the Li family water army can continue to expand its power to the east in the future, which is definitely very important for the Li family water army, especially it is said that the wealth of the Takayama family is really a lot, And a lot of wealth is concentrated in Odawara Castle, so once it starts a war with the Kinoshita family, then he may be able to grab it, Ise is much closer to Odawara Castle than Kyushu, so after seizing here, he has no intention of handing it over to the Kinoshita family at all, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi should not have any opinion on this. Even if he is dissatisfied with this, what can he do, he can help him fight the Gao Shan family, and he can also turn around and help the Gao Shan family beat him.

Now that he is the well-deserved hegemon in this sea, there is no need to worry about these things at all.
