Chapter 141 Three consecutive defeats
The Moroboshi family held a grand wedding, and the only remaining families on Fuetoshima, the Otomo family and the Shimazu family, were very respectful and came to congratulate with expensive gifts, and were very humble.

There was no way. The news that the Moroboshi family destroyed Fukushima Castle could not be concealed. The Fukushima Castle that was reduced to ashes had been stepped on countless times by the ninjas of the two families. After seeing that there was no intention of imposing martial law, they even sent many samurai to investigate. The only conclusion they came to was that they were no match for the enemy.

In fact, this is an embellished statement. To put it simply, it means that we cannot win.

The Moroboshi family, which possesses the power to destroy a city, is already the undisputed overlord of Fukushima. Even the Otomo family is now considering a retreat and the possibility of a marriage alliance.

It's just that the way the head of the Moroboshi family treated his father-in-law was really similar to how Lu Bu treated his adoptive father, so the Otomo Daimyo was a little uneasy and did not agree to the marriage for the time being.

Therefore, coming to congratulate this time not only sends a signal that he is willing to humble himself and worship the elder brother, but also means to test the strength of the Zhuxing family.

If possible, the Otomo family would rather use all their strength to destroy the Moroboshi family first, because the threat posed by the Moroboshi family now exceeds that of the Mori family.

However, the Moroboshi family did not give the Otomo family any chance. Their powerful military and rich territory made them invincible. They could only sincerely wish them well and hope that they were satisfied with the current situation.

The Otomo family and the Shimazu family, who should have taken advantage of the situation, behaved very friendly. They did not occupy the territories of the Sagara family and the Fukushima family at all, and even chose to give in on disputed areas, just to make the Moroboshi family satisfied.

However, both sides have their own plans in private. The Shimazu family has already considered the possibility of completely turning to the Moroboshi family, that is, abandoning the status of daimyo and joining the Moroboshi family as a retainer.

Although it was embarrassing, it was better than being burned to ashes. Even the most tough-minded samurai in the Shimazu family became peace-loving after a trip to Fukushima Castle.

However, the Otomo family had been the overlord of the secondary island for too long, and it was difficult for them to bend their backs, but they were also unwilling to surrender, so they chose to send a fleet to the main island, on the one hand to contact the Mori family, and on the other hand to leave a way out for the family.

Yan Xu knew a little about the actions of the two families, but he didn't want to think too much about it now. First, it was a happy day, and second, winter was approaching.

On the first day, Yan Xu married Fukushima Hime. After the complicated wedding ceremony, the two sides fought in the castle tower, with the tiger-headed golden spear fighting against the deep-sea whirlpool.

The two sides fought for three hundred rounds, and even Yan Xu, who had practiced Tai Chi stance for a long time, was still defeated by half a move.

He also didn't expect that although Fukushima-hime appeared calm and looked like a cold beauty, she was actually a hidden weapon. She seemed passive, but she was secretly preparing to kill. She used layers of vortexes and hidden undercurrents to disrupt his marksmanship and his mind, making it impossible for him to use his indomitable gun to break through the formation. He had no choice but to call off the battle and agree to fight again next time.

The next day, Yan Xu married Xiang Gui and went through the Shinto wedding ceremony. Then, after getting the ghost's father drunk, the two sides engaged in a tremendous battle in the hot spring hall.

As for why they chose this place for the bridal chamber, well, it was a fight. The main reason was that both sides were extremely strong and muscular, unlike Princess Fukushima who could overcome the strong with the soft and turn the Qianjin Pillar Skill into something invisible. So if the two sides really started a hand-to-hand fight, the castle tower might have to be rebuilt.

In fact, Yan Xu guessed correctly. In the hard collision that hit the flesh, half of the hot spring center collapsed and needed to be rebuilt.

As for the outcome of this battle, Yan Xu could only say that he did not win. As for whether it was a draw or a loss, no one dared to ask. Anyway, Xiang Gui ran triumphantly to his father early in the morning to brag about it, making him look unhappy for the whole day.

On the third day, Yan Xu forced himself to accept Mori Yu and Hui Ruomaru. Although they had no official status, it was enough for the two. However, in order to prove himself, the failure was due to blood and race. Although he was already at the end of his strength, Yan Xu still summoned up his remaining courage to break through the second level of the Ninja Sword, bringing this wedding banquet that lasted for three days and three nights to a perfect end.

Yan Xu, who was pale and had lost several pounds, chewed bitter ginseng slices. After returning to the world of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, he completely cultivated his body and mind. He was so Buddhist that he didn't even want to eat big buns, let alone chop people.

Yang Zhenze could naturally see what this closed disciple had experienced. If it was an ordinary disciple, he would probably immediately enforce the family rules in a disappointed manner. But for Yan Xu, he instead admired the other party for having a capable person in his family and wondered why he hadn't thought of this trick.

Yan Xu's biggest problem is that his physical fitness has grown too quickly. Not only can his control ability not keep up, but other aspects can't keep up either, causing his behavior to be somewhat out of control. It's like holding a hammer in your hand and everyone looks like a nail.

Now I am weak, and my energy is almost exhausted. It is more suitable for me to break down and then rebuild, and I can start over.

Therefore, Yang Zhenze not only stopped the medicated diet and tonic medicine, but also asked him to practice some technical things, just to make him integrate the skills into his instincts as much as possible before recovering.

Although he always wanted to take a break, Yan Xu still believed what his master said and started practicing routines and techniques. Unexpectedly, practicing boxing in this state gave him new insights.

Before, no matter what movements he made, he could hardly feel tired or difficult, let alone gain any insights. But now, he felt the weakness of his bones and the operation of his muscles again, and had a deeper understanding of himself.

Not long after Yan Xu came back, the Seven Wolves, who had a long vacation, also came back. Seeing how weak and out of breath their legs were, it was clear that they would have difficulty even shooting, let alone continuing to move, so they could only focus on taking care of their bodies.

But Shanghai is Shanghai after all. Not long after they stopped their operations, outsiders emerged to seize the market. They also laughed at the people here for being timid and planned to make a fortune, but they didn't know how many people were waiting to see them make a fool of themselves.

Yan Xu is weak, but that doesn't mean he can't lift a knife, not to mention that he didn't come alone this time.

A palm-sized spider lady obediently lifted up a purple clay teapot that was much bigger than herself to pour tea for Yan Xu who was reading a book. She was the unlucky bride who was almost beaten to death by the ghost father and daughter.

Because the original demon body was severely damaged and now had a master, the new woman was very tactful and took the opportunity of transforming into a shikigami to rebuild her body. Now her upper body is that of a petite and cute girl. Although the spider body of the lower body is inevitable, it does not look hideous and can even be held in the hand.

She usually serves tea and water and does things within her ability. At night, she weaves nets to catch insects so that her owner will not be disturbed by mosquitoes. Her cute appearance and well-behaved and sensible nature made Yan Xu slowly get used to her presence.

But how could one trust her? No matter how harmless she looked, it couldn't change the fact that she was a cannibal.

It can be said that once Yan Xu shows his weak side, she will probably be the first one to turn against him, so just use him and don't take it seriously, otherwise Luo Xinfu won't mind being the Black Widow again.

Just as Yan Xu was reading, a weasel came outside the door. It was wearing a straw hat, a short coat made of handkerchief, and carrying a bamboo tube. It bowed and kowtowed outside the threshold like a human being. It was polite and knew that it was not allowed to enter without the owner's permission.
