Eastern Japan, Naijing.

This place is the capital of the Eastern Japanese Kingdom and where the Daming Palace is located.

Outside the Daimyo Palace, the narrow streets were filled with short, barefooted men and women. They were not tall, and most of them walked with stooped bodies, which made them look even more frail.

Occasionally, some warriors with shaved Tsukiyo heads and long swords on their waists passed by. Compared with ordinary Eastern Japanese people, they were stronger and had a bit more arrogance between their brows.

At this time, a group of warriors were walking in an orderly manner. When passers-by saw the red bird patterns on the feathers they wore, they all looked frightened and fled away.

Even the other warriors quickly stepped aside after seeing these people, for fear of blocking their way.

After these samurai wearing red bird feathers left, two ronin carrying swords started chatting at the side.

"The samurai of the upper palace shogunate...are really terrifying."

"Yes, they are not easy to mess with. If you offend them, they will draw a knife and kill someone on the street!"

"Hey... The Kamigiya family is so lawless, and the Daimyo-sama has no intention of taking care of it."

"Humph, daimyo, the daimyo is talking in Dongwa. How can it be as heavy as the Shanggong shogunate? I heard that the Shanggong shogunate is mainly responsible for dealing with the man named Su Yuan this time."

"I've also heard that Su Yuan killed my Eastern Japanese envoy. It's really abominable!"

The two chatted for a while and then left. The team of red bird warriors who passed by earlier had also arrived at a mansion at the end of the street.

The residence is a large courtyard, similar to some courtyards in the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was built by the contemporary patriarch of the Shanggong family and the shogun himself asked craftsmen to imitate it.

Ever since he visited the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had been disgusted with everything about the Eastern Japan, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. Especially housing. Seeing that the minor officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty could live in such spacious and magnificent houses, he, a shogun,

, to live in only such a small wooden building...how can I accept it?

In the courtyard, nearly a hundred warriors had gathered, and everyone was half-kneeling facing the door of a room due south.

The new group of warriors were no exception, they knelt down and waited silently.

Not long after, the door opened, and a man about fifty years old wearing a helmet walked out of the room.

The warriors kneeling in the courtyard said in unison: "I have seen General Shanggong!"

Kamigiya Shingen looked around at everyone with a look of satisfaction on his face: "Gentlemen, get up!"

"Yes!" Everyone stood up in unison.

They are all close followers of Kamigiya Shingen, and they are the first people to follow Kamigiya Shingen.

You must know that in the past, Kamimiya Shingen was just an inconspicuous bastard in the Kamimiya family. He was the humble son of the same geisha as the head of the Kamigiya family.

But he was not bound by his identity, nor was he knocked down by others' ridicule, beatings and scoldings. Instead, he relied on his own strength, belief, and persistence to step by step from a pawn to become the shogun today.

These twenty or thirty years of struggle have shaped him and given him a group of confidants who can absolutely be trusted.

With these cronies, he has continuously expanded his power in recent years, attacked dissidents, and successfully became the largest shogun. He has thousands of samurai, including tens of thousands of ashigaru.

With such military power, he has made it clear in Naikyo that the so-called famous names are just chess pieces in his hands. Moreover, after he gets the support of the ninja family, his power becomes even greater. Anyone who dares to disobey him will die in the night.

Unknown assassination.

At this moment, he summoned the elite knights under his command and talked to them about the Bei'an Army.

Kamigiya Shingen said: "Everyone, you all know! Shimono Ichiro is my adopted son. I value him very much and sent him as an envoy to negotiate with the Prince of Bei'an Army. Unexpectedly, he was killed! This is very important to us.

, is a huge humiliation!”

"Yes!" the warriors said in unison.

"We are bound to make the Bei'an Army pay the price, and the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty has also sent an envoy to cooperate with us to destroy the Bei'an Army. In return, they will hand over Ozu Island, which is a great pair of

We are very important. With Ozu Island, we can wait for the opportunity to launch, land from Haizhou, and seize the land of Dazhou!"

Kamigiya Shingen faced his confidants and told his plan. He wanted to let the new emperor Zhou Cheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty see his "sincerity" first. And this sincerity was to send a team of warriors to attack the Bei'an army.

Conduct a raid on the captured capital ferry.

Only with the blood of the enemy can one wash away the shame of his adopted son being killed!

"Gentlemen, who is willing to go to this battle?"

"We all want it!"

None of the warriors hesitated and spoke together.

Kamigiya Shingen showed a satisfied look and named a few people: "Ono, Hayakawa, Nasori, you guys get ready. I will give you fifty fast boats and 400 Ashigaru people. You must let the Bei'an Army feel

It hurts!"

The three warriors whose names were called immediately came out of the queue, knelt down and saluted: "Yes, General!"

After the warriors left, Kamiya Shingen showed a solemn expression on his face.

He said: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate to just let them go! The envoy sent by the new emperor told me that there are martial arts masters in the Bei'an army."

There was no one in front of him when he spoke, and he seemed to be talking to himself. But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from above his head.

"Haha, are you a master of martial arts? How does it compare to my first-class Ninja Koga?"

The speaker was dressed in black, masked, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, hanging upside down under the eaves, like a human-shaped bat, very scary.

Kamigong Shingen said: "You have to send some of your subordinates to go with my warriors to avoid any accidents!"

"No problem. But General, please don't forget what we, the Koga Ninja First Class, need."

"Hmph." Kamigiya Shingen snorted coldly, "I will find a way to get rid of the Kami Chiraku clan for you. But it is useless to worry about this matter. That clan has a great witch in charge and is deeply loved by the people. I want to get rid of this clan.

There has to be a valid reason."

"That's what you have to worry about, General, and it has nothing to do with us. If the General can accomplish this, then we, the Koga-nins, will be the Shogun's eternal friends..."

After the man in black finished speaking, a black mist spread from around his body. When the black mist dissipated, he was nowhere to be found.

Kamigiya Shingen didn't say a word, but he was already cursing in his heart.

"Damn Koga ninja, sooner or later I will deal with you!"

Jingle Bell……

The wind chimes sounded softly.

In a shrine on the outskirts of Naijing, a girl in red is holding her face in her hands, sitting under the eaves and looking at the sky.

She was very fascinated by it, her glazed eyes were full of colors. She liked the changing shapes of clouds in the sky, and with the sound of wind chimes, such a leisurely afternoon was rare for her.

"Reimu."

A voice came from the big house behind her. The girl came back to her senses, responded, got up and entered the room.

The great miko of the Kami Chiraku clan was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room, holding a long stick in her left hand and a round disk in her right hand.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" the girl asked softly.

"A great disaster, a great disaster is coming." The great witch showed the long wooden stick in her hand to the girl.
