Chapter 209 The Eve of the Coup

Chapter 209 The Eve of the Coup

"Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon has entered the city?"

The eldest prince Shui Yayan was overjoyed when he heard the news.

As a foreign aid that Kusaka Masato had contacted for a long time, since the daimyo became seriously ill, it can be said that Shui Masahiko has been looking forward to the arrival of the new moon.

As a legitimate crown prince, Shui Yayan didn't need any crooked ways to inherit the position of Daimyo openly, so he never thought about launching a coup to seize the position of Daimyo.

It was precisely because of this that he was caught off guard by his younger brother Shui Dufu.

Since Shuidu had a plan to poison the daimyo, he naturally had to be fully prepared before he would do such a treacherous thing.

In addition to the necessary search for beauties and poisons, he also secretly used the funds on hand to contact a group of wandering ninjas and black market hired ninjas as foreign aid.

This was a trump card prepared to prevent his father from discovering his conspiracy and ordering the ninjas of the Yanagisawa clan to arrest him in a rage.

In addition, it was also to have the strength to contain the ninjas of the Yanagisawa clan just in case they besieged the castle tower.

As long as Shuidu Fu is given enough time to kill all the royal families with inheritance rights, then the Yanagisawa clan will not have anything to fear.

As ninjas who have been loyal to the royal family for hundreds of years, the Yanagisawa clan has always been loyal to the daimyo.

Regardless of how this daimyo came to power, as long as he is a daimyo, the Yanagisawa clan will obey his orders unconditionally. This is why the Yanagisawa clan has been able to exist as the daimyo's guards for hundreds of years.

Fortunately for Mizutomi, Sui Keita did not realize that this was his conspiracy, so the ninja power that was used to guard against the Yanagisawa clan was used by him to fight against his elder brother.

During this time, with the help of these ninjas, it can be said that Shui Yayan had the upper hand. That's why he was so excited after hearing the order of the arrival of Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon.

"Quick, send the order for him to come over!"

Shui Yayan hurriedly ordered someone to ask Gui Deng Xinyue to come over and protect him.

But after a while, Shui Yayan saw that the person who had sent the order had returned, but Gui Deng Xinyue did not come.

"Your Highness, Mr. Xinyue said that he is here to visit the Daimyo, so it is not convenient for him to come to you in a big way. Moreover, he said that he lives in the embassy area and has nothing to do with you, so he can still hide it. Get up and act as a surprise force to sneak attack His Highness the Second Prince..."

Before Shui Yayan could speak, the messenger tremblingly repeated the original words of Ghost Lantern Xinyue.

"I see...it's a wonderful move."

When Shui Yayan heard this explanation, he was about to praise Guideng Xinyue when he suddenly thought of a question and immediately changed his face.

"No...bastard! If he doesn't come here to protect me, what if I'm assassinated by that bastard Shui Dufu? Then he'll be nothing but a surprise soldier!"

As soon as he thought about this, he became angrier and angrier, "That bastard Shuidu Fu has a group of ninjas under his command. The bastard Gui Deng Xinyue here has the power of a ninja village but he only brought so few people here. Is it possible that he has already brought so many people here?" Are you planning on surrendering to that bastard Shui Dufu?"

"The same goes for Kusaka Masato, that rabbit guy. Even at this time, he doesn't come over to think of a solution..."

Just when Shui Yayan was forced to vent madly under the tremendous pressure of life and death, a faint voice suddenly appeared in the room.

"Who said we didn't send someone here? Didn't I come to protect you, Your Highness?"

"who?"

Shui Yayan turned around and saw a young man wearing the Kirigakure Village's standard Jonin vest suddenly appeared in front of him.

Facing Shui Yayan's inquiry, the young man smiled and introduced himself.

"My name is Blood Pond Liangma, and I am here to protect your safety in the name of Lord Xinyue."

When he heard that it was the ninja sent by Kirigakure Village to protect him, Shui Yayan's face suddenly became better.

He was well aware of his brother's style, and he also knew that he was most in danger before he officially became a daimyo. So in order to save his life on the eve of dawn, he began to draw pie like crazy.

"A good horse in the blood pool? Very good... Before I become a daimyo, my safety depends entirely on you. As long as you perform well, when I become a daimyo, I will make you my close bodyguard and let your family Generation after generation will be bathed in the King’s grace.”

"Based on the king's favor for generations to come?"

The Blood Pond Liangma's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but think of the name of the Land of Thunder and the miserable days of his family in Hell Valley.

The smile on the Blood Pond Liangma's face gradually faded, "...If that's the case, then I would like to thank the prince...no, it was the reward from His Highness the Daimyo."

In the closed and dark room, a pair of scarlet blood eyes slowly opened.

The Blood Dragon Eye, once known as the "hypnotic eye" together with the Sharingan, has once again bloomed in the ninja world after disappearing for decades.

Here, when Blood Pond Ryoma and Shui Yayan were having an in-depth exchange.

Over there, Shuidu Fu and Kusaka Masato also received the news that Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon had entered the city.

"Master Kusaka, what do you mean when you say that Ghost Lantern and Crescent Moon are entering the city at this time? Could he be a helper brought in by the boss?"

Shui Dufu asked Masato Kusaka who was sitting at the bottom.

Originally, Shui Dufu was full of hatred for Kusaka Masato, because Kusaka Masato had spoken for Ghost Lantern Crescent Moon many times before in the court.

And Shuidu Fu was full of resentment towards Gui Deng Xinyue because of many things in the past, so his previous relationship with Masato Kusaka was definitely not friendly.

But the turning point of all this happened not long ago. Masato Kusaka made a plan for Shuidu Fu and found the beauty who was willing to sacrifice for it. This time, Shuidu Fu's "great cause" had hope.

"After all, Ghost Light Crescent Moon is the adopted son of the Daimyo. It is reasonable to come here after hearing that the Daimyo is critically ill."

Kusaka Masato explained to Shui Dufu in a calm tone: "From the fact that he has been living in the embassy building and has not gone to the eldest prince's residence, it can be seen that there should be no connection between him and the eldest prince. "

"It doesn't matter if I keep shouting for reinforcements... In this case, I'll just hide from that bastard for the time being. Wait until I ascend to the position of daimyo, and then I can deal with him properly."

In his opinion, Gui Deng Xinyue, a cheap servant, had failed him twice. For his narrow-minded man, this was simply intolerable humiliation.

Now for the sake of important matters, let’s not provoke him for the time being. When he ascends to the position of daimyo as he wishes, he will let Gui Deng Xinyue know what “the majesty of daimyo” is!

"Are you still waiting for you to become a daimyo? In the next life!"

Kusaka Masato sneered in his heart when he saw Shuidu Fu like this, but on the surface he nodded very considerately, with a look of approval on his face.

"However, perhaps because he heard about the relationship between you and me, this ghost wrote me a letter before the new moon came. In the letter, he regretted his previous actions that offended you, Your Highness. In order to make up for it, he was willing to use it at a critical moment to make up for it. I’ll solve the Yanagisawa clan’s troubles for you.”

As Kusaka Masato spoke, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mizutomi.

"Oh? That low-level person would actually say such a thing? It seems that His Highness inheriting the position of Daimyo is the aspiration of the people and the general trend!"

"But he only thought of currying favor with His Highness at this time. Don't you think it's too late?"

When Shuidu Fu heard this, he immediately became interested, took the letter from Masato Kusaka and opened it.

In his opinion, this is because Gui Deng Xinyue has seen that he has a good chance of winning, and is worried that he will settle the score later, so he rushes to burn the cold stove at this time to show his loyalty.

"But if it is true as Masato Kusaka said, we can give him a verbal promise first, and then deal with him after we have used him."

Shui Dufu thought this while opening the letter.

Although he hated Gui Deng Xinyue deeply, he had to admit that Gui Deng Xinyue still had some strength.

After all, he had seen with his own eyes that the jounin of the Yanagisawa clan could not persist in three moves in front of the ghost light crescent moon.

Anyway, it is impossible to ask him to forgive, but you can make a verbal promise to hang the ghost lantern and crescent moon first, and then take revenge after the incident.

He opened the letter and saw that the letter was indeed as Masato Kusaka said. It started with Gui Deng Xinyue regretting his offending Shuidu Fu and feeling sad for his blindness.

Shui Dufu glanced at him, and even though his heart was full of hatred for him, he couldn't help but be moved by Gui Deng Xinyue's "sincerity".

I haven’t read the rest of this letter yet, but Gui Deng Xinyue wrote thousands of words eloquently at the beginning. His words were full of heartache for his past words and deeds, expressing his sincere apology to Shui Dufu, and hoping that he would not forget it. If a villain makes a mistake, give yourself a chance to make up for it.

Then he wrote on the back that he was willing to serve as an internal correspondent. When Suidufu had ideas about the castle tower, he would take action to contain the Yanagisawa clan so that Suidufu could successfully bring people to the daimyo's palace.

"...Well, it's okay to make up for it this way."

Shui Dufu touched his chin, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Masato Kusaka: "Since he has this intention, let him make up for his mistakes! When we launch the plan, we will notify him! "

"Tell him that as long as he can contain the Yanagisawa clan by then, then I will forget about it and allow him to continue to control Kirigakure Village!"
