Chapter 348: Marriage with the Profitable Lady

Although the giant centipede eats people, spreads poison, and kills innocent people indiscriminately, it is a good monster because it never kills people outside of Japan.

In addition, the Moroboshi family was preparing to form their own Hundred Demons Team, so Yan Xu did not let him be killed, but instead let Fukushima-hime subdue him and make him a general of the future Moroboshi family's Hundred Demons Team.

After subduing the opponent, Yan Xu also learned that the giant centipede was purely deceived. Originally, it lived in an underground cave with plenty of food, enjoying family happiness with countless descendants. As a result, it was visited by someone and encouraged to start a business together. It was said that Amano Castle was densely populated and prosperous, and it could be used as a place to start a business. After forming a team of 100 ghosts, they could also go on tours to various places, and when they accumulated enough fame, they could go to Kyoto to become the king of the night tour.

Although it was a big monster, the centipede, which had always lived in a cave, had never seen such a big and round cake painted on it, so it immediately agreed.

As for how the conflict occurred, it was mainly because the mastermind behind the scenes intended to use it to test the strength of the Zhuxing family. As a result, the Zhuxing family was too strong and the pit was too deep, so the centipede fell in and couldn't climb out. The plan was in vain.

Although a large centipede was lost, the person behind the scenes achieved his goal. He knew that the strength of the Moroboshi family was unfathomable and that they could not defeat them head-on, so they probably would not show up again in the short term. If they did show up, there must be a bigger conspiracy.

"I've told you long ago that the Moroboshi family is not that simple, otherwise how could I let those traitors live." The now all alone demon ninja leader said sarcastically to the fox dancer wearing a fox mask.

"We have to try to know, and it's just the loss of a chess piece, there's nothing to regret." The Fox Dancer crushed the chess piece in his hand and let the fragments fall, saying in a calm tone.

"Haha, if a centipede with the strength of a big monster is just a chess piece, then what are you and I?" The leader of the Demon Ninja said with a sneer. In the era when the Demon King did not appear, the big monsters were already the overlords of a region, so how could they be treated as chess pieces so lightly? Moreover, just finding this big centipede and tricking it out took a lot of energy and time of the two of them, as well as materials accumulated over many years, but in the end, all went down the drain. How could he not be angry?

"Everything is created by nature, and everything is a chess piece." The elegant tone of the Fox Dancer made the Demon Ninja Leader furious, but he seemed to have noticed something, snorted angrily, turned around and left immediately without any intention of staying.

"What a pity, he was just so close. He is indeed worthy of being a genius Onmyoji that only appears once in a century. Even though he has fallen, his will remains firm." The Fox Dancer was wearing a mask and his expression could not be seen. He just said with a little regret, and at the same time, a new chess piece appeared in his hand.

The demon ninja leader, who had been running wildly for more than ten miles, looked stern. He opened his clothes to reveal the densely packed scarlet runes on his chest and abdomen.

These runes were originally arranged in a certain pattern, but now they are distorted and blurred.

"Damn it, how dare you confuse my mind and try to turn me into a puppet!" The face of the Demon Ninja leader was extremely ugly. No wonder he felt that his temper had become strange recently and he was too irritable and easily angered. Although this was also related to the fact that the plan had not been going smoothly, it was not enough to make him completely lose his composure. It turned out that the Fox Dancer had set his sights on him.

"The Fox Dancer's level of demonization is far higher than mine. It seems that we need to train a few reliable men as soon as possible and we can no longer meet him in person." The Demon Ninja leader said with fear, closing his collar.

As Onmyojis who both practiced the art of transforming demons, the Fox Dancer was obviously stronger than him, which forced the Demon Ninja Leader to endure the other's calculations.

There was no other way. The interests involved in the joint plan of both parties were too great to be given up, so great that he was reluctant to give up. So he planned to train a spokesperson, but this time he had to train loyal subordinates instead of a bunch of traitors.

At this time, Princess Fukushima had already returned to Amano Castle and personally went to Yan Xu to report on her work.

"The Warring States period is a time of hegemony, and hundreds of ghosts are vying for supremacy. Japan is about to become lively." Yan Xu hugged Princess Fukushima, playing with the jade bamboo and the jade bowl, and sighed sadly, as if he was under a tyrant.

At present, the Moroboshi family has completed a new round of accumulation, which is enough to launch a major war. If it were not for the concern that the second island that had just been conquered was not stable enough, it would have already gone to war with the Mori family.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether there is a war with the Mori family or not. The enemy’s navy is docked in Amano Castle, and he can take it down at any time as long as he wants.

Without the navy, what could the Mori clan use to compete with the Moroboshi clan, which had almost reached the level of World War I?

Not to mention that the economy is also deeply tied. The Mori family, from the daimyo to the common people, is very dependent on trade with the Moroboshi family. The former makes money, and the latter obtains cheaper and higher-quality goods. In other words, there is a lack of a name. Otherwise, if a war really breaks out, there will definitely be more surrenders than resistance.

What’s interesting is that the Mori family turned a blind eye to this and instead increased the scope of cooperation with the Moroboshi family. In other words, the current situation was deliberately promoted by the Mori family.

Yan Xu already understood what the Maori family meant. To put it bluntly, he had to join in since he couldn't beat them. However, for the sake of his face, he couldn't say it actively. He could only stick close to them and wait for them to give him a status.

"Let the cabinet prepare. I want to marry the princess of the Mori family." If marrying a beauty can avoid a war, Yan Xu is willing to work harder, so he decided to add one to his harem.

Fukushima-hime, who was still in Yan Xu's arms, had no objection to Yan Xu's decision. Instead, she was happy to see it happen. This could be considered the Wu family's awareness.

As for who to marry, Yan Xu already has a choice, that is, Mao Lilan, who is the most beautiful and has the best figure.

This was not something he had planned in advance, but the princesses of the Mori family stayed in Amano Castle for ten months out of the year and often found opportunities to appear in front of him, so it was hard for him not to be familiar with them.

Compared with several Maori princesses with different styles, such as elegant and dignified, gentle and considerate, petite and cute, Maori Lilan, who can kill people when dismounted and shoot arrows when mounted, and who is tall, has long legs and a curvy figure, is more in line with Yan Xu's taste.

After learning about this, the Mori family asked bluntly whether the couple wanted to marry more girls. Not only would they be given enough dowries, but they could also take away the more than one hundred maids who came as dowry.

After thinking about it, Yan Xu finally refused. It was not because he couldn't hold on, but because he didn't have time.

The entire wedding process went smoothly, even smoother than entering the bridal chamber.

Speaking of this, Yan Xu couldn't help but praise himself for being really good at choosing people. Not only was she fragrant, but she was also really moist.

The Maori family finally breathed a sigh of relief after Mao Lilan got married.

Even though the Mori family seemed to be defenseless against the Moroboshi family, the pressure was actually enormous. They had the urge to fight to the death many times, but they were suppressed because they had no chance of winning.

The more they came into contact, the more the Mori family realized the horror of the Moroboshi family. They could not find any opportunities and saw no hope. They could only watch their neighbors buy guns and prepare food for war, but they were powerless to do anything. So they came up with the Family Reunification Plan.

It is not shameful to join if you cannot defeat the enemy, and the retainers and samurai will not reject it because they are very clear about the gap between the two sides.

Winning is an achievement, losing is nothing.

Warriors love war because it is beneficial. If there is no benefit, no one will fight to the death.

Not to mention that after the marriage, they will also have the opportunity to join the Moroboshi family. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Even Daimyo Mori was jealous of the treatment provided by the Moroboshi family. The betrothal gift sent this time alone would allow Daimyo Mori to stand tall and show off in front of the nobles from Kyoto for a year, so who would be stupid enough to give up the opportunity?
