Swallow Back

Each slapped each other hard a few times.

Qingtianfang was suffering from the force, so he couldn't help but take two steps back, shook his hand, and took a breath of cold air.

However, Mae Ye Nagakura staggered back several steps, unable to stand, fell to the ground, rolled up in ashes.

Who is stronger and who is weaker, you can see immediately.

The guards on the side all had their eyes straight, their chins about to fall to the ground.

Probably they are used to seeing Nagano Mae Ye in a bad mood looking for someone to fight at the door, but they rarely see this guy lose.

……

At this moment, the city gate of Hengshan City creaked open.

The person who came out of the city was not a stranger, but Masataka Hashisuka, who had met once.

It's still the same as last time, he was born with a strong back, a tall man and a big man, but he has a big belly, a leisurely self-satisfaction, and a smiling expression, not like a samurai, but more like a businessman.

To be precise, it is not a businessman, but a cross talk actor - Fusang has no cross talk, so it should be said to be rakugo, or kyogen.

The guard outside the city immediately stepped forward to meet him, and Liu Yun also greeted him.

Masataka Hashisuga nodded to the guard, then bowed back to Liu Yun carefully, then looked around, walked in front of Nagano Maeno, who was squatting on the ground, and said solemnly: "I know everything. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable, but Don't take your anger on others at will! We are samurai now, and private fights are a taboo for samurai, it is not the time to collect money from boats in Kiso River!"

Hearing this, Nagano Maeno buried his head, with a cry in his voice, and said bitterly: "Big brother! It's okay if you don't say it... The six people will not be able to come back! The other three will become disabled, all from Brothers from Kisogawa! Watching them fall one by one with my own eyes, the other party is just a ninja alone, but he is as terrifying as a monster, I can't stop it at all! I really don't dare to think..."

Beesuka Masatoshi also sighed, the smile on his face disappeared, revealing a hint of sadness: "Since they came out with me, they must have realized their consciousness long ago, and I will treat future generations kindly. You saved the lives of eight people, there is nothing to blame yourself. of."

At this time, Liu Yun finally remembered.

It seems that in the last life in the game, the guy Maeno Nagayasu was the one who followed Hashisuka Masakatsu in the Owari Kiso River, and later joined Kinoshita Tokichiro together, so he rose to prosperous and became famous in history.

I just can't remember the exact process.

What happened to this guy in the end?Where is the Battle of Kanhara?Why doesn't it seem that the Eastern Army and the Western Army do not have this number one person?

After all, Liu Yun's historical knowledge was limited. Except for remembering such a name, he didn't know any other information.

After a while, Hashisuka Masataka returned to his smiling and lazy expression, and bowed to Liu Yun to apologize: "I'm so sorry, Changkang is such a bastard. You have a lot of things, please bear with me!"

Liu Yun didn't take it seriously at first, and he also made a friendly gesture, and responded: "Since it was an accident, his mood is understandable. Besides, I didn't suffer any losses just now..."

"That's that, that's..." Masayoshi Hashisuka didn't care about the sarcasm in Liu Yun's words, but instead smiled and said, "I was in the city just now and saw from a distance, this big retainer under your command, Really amazing. There are not many in the entire Hengshan City who can beat Brother Changkang! However, I am not surprised. With your ability, Lord Liuyun, with a little guidance, the retainers will benefit greatly."

This flattery is pretty clever.

Liu Yun was deeply pleased, and when he saw the rough man Hashisuka Masatsugu, he immediately felt a little more pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Nagano Maeno, who was squatting on the side and wiping tears, suddenly raised his head, stared intently at him, and asked word by word, "This... this Sasaki family's Liu Yun-sama is really skilled in martial arts and can force Is it better than a thousand people?"

Hashuka Masatoshi snorted angrily, rolled his eyes, and said with a look of disgust, "Of course! I saw Lord Liu Yun shoot with my own eyes a few days ago. He shoots the sword with speed and precision. Exactly, it’s unimaginable! So don’t think that you are so powerful anymore, you have learned a lesson today, right? You can’t even beat other people’s retainers, it’s really shameful…”

After hearing this, Mae Ye Changkang lowered his head and thought for a while, then like a fighting dog, he threw himself on his knees, and kowtowed with the posture of sitting under the soil, and said solemnly, "Lord Liuyun to deal with the 'Tao Mo Ren'. , avenge my dead brother!"

"What do you look like!" Hashisuka Masakatsu changed his color suddenly, and waved Maeno Nagayasu away.Then he turned around, changed his face again, and said respectfully: "But this kid is right. The only person who can deal with Dangmonin is probably Lord Liuyun."

Chapter 11 Tokichiro Kinoshita who loves tea

The three Chinese characters "Tian Mo Ren" were in his ears, and Liu Yun suddenly felt a little familiar. He just felt as if he had seen it somewhere before.

But after thinking about it, I can't remember anything.

He couldn't help but ask, "Who is Tsui Mo Ren? Which daimyo's forces are you?"

"Hmm..." Masayoshi Hashisuka hesitated for a while, then replied, "It's a long story, let's go to the city and explain it slowly!"

Liu Yun nodded in agreement.

So people entered the door.

Hashisuga Masatoshi instructed Mae Ye Nagayasu to sprint in to inform him, and he and Liu Yun walked behind.

The Yokoyama Castle where Tokichiro Kinoshita lived, as the name suggests, was built on the mountain.

When the gate opened, there was a narrow "tiger mouth" and a "horse exit" blocking the road. It was inconvenient to pass through, and it was obviously built for military purposes.

After this, there is the "Sannomaru" drawn at the foot of the mountain. There are tall arrow sculls at the four corners, and many samurai and soldiers have gathered inside.

When many people saw the "noble person", they flattered and wanted to talk to him, but Masataka Hashisuka only nodded slightly as a response.

Liu Yun could not help but receive some envious eyes.

Even because he was too deaf, he couldn't help but hear some comments that shouldn't be heard: "What is the origin of this person, to bother Lord Bee Suka to greet him in person?"

"Look at the flag held by the soldiers behind. It looks like the Sasaki family by the lake. But isn't that family lost?"

"I heard that the new master was brought back from the temple. At such a young age, he is good at camping."

……

These nonsense words come into my ears, it's really hard to laugh or cry.

Passing through Sannomaru, and then passing through a winding and rugged mountain road, is "Ninomaru". This place is much cleaner. Half of the space is used to store supplies, and the other half is allocated to samurai with higher status.

Therefore, people who meet them will only say hello from a distance, and there will be no reaction.

Hashuka Masataka also introduced, this is Miyata Mitsuji, that is Oto Tomono, the tall one is Toda Katsutaka, the one holding the book is Kamiko Tian Masaharu, and so on...

Liu Yun said "fortunately" in a perfunctory manner, but actually didn't remember a single one.

I thought that since these people didn't have the chance to appear in the Shame Company's game, it is estimated that they are not powerful people worth mentioning.

It seems to be a bit of an identity now, probably because Kinoshita Tokichiro's career has just started, and there is a lack of real talents under his hands.

While staying in Ninomaru, Hashisuka Masatoshi randomly found someone and brought Qingtianfang and five other farmers and soldiers to rest here.

Qingtianfang saw Liu Yun's wink and left together with the five peasants and soldiers.

Then go up to the halfway up the mountain to reach the "Honmaru".It is for the office of the city lord and his close ministers, as well as the residence of the city lord's family. Generally, gold and silver are also stored.

Many servants and maids were in a hurry, running errands for the nobles, but they didn't see the samurai walking around.

This Honmaru alone is at least four or five times larger than the so-called "Sasaki Pavilion" of the Sasaki family. There are not only many houses and warehouses in it, but even a small yard was built around the corner, and a small temple was built. The city owner's family burns incense and worships the Buddha.

The "Royal Palace" in the middle of the Honmaru is a large house several zhang wide.There is a papaya-patterned flag of the Oda family standing high on the roof, surrounded by other patterns. It is speculated that it probably indicates the existence of "big men" such as Kinoshita Tokichiro, Takenaka Shigeji, Hashisuka Masakatsu, etc.

Liu Yun looked around, and suddenly asked: "I heard that there will be forty or fifty people with a similar identity to me coming to Hengshan City today..."

Hearing the words, Beesuka Masakura smiled and shook his head: "Those people only need to be received at Sannomaru, at most Ninomaru, and there is no need to bring them here."

The voice fell, and I saw a man with a sharp-mouthed monkey with five short cheeks, but dressed in gorgeous Wu clothes and Yuori, trotting all the way from the palace of Honmaru with a smile on his face, shouting: "Are you the Liuyun-sama of the Sasaki family? Tianke has been waiting to meet you!"

Masataka Hashuka solemnly introduced: "This one is Lord Tokichiro Kinoshita, the castle lord of Yokoyama Castle who guards the North Omi area for the Oda family."

In fact, without his introduction, Liu Yun can also guess from his appearance.

The appearance of the "big man" in front of him is really ugly, and his manners are also very vulgar and casual, without the slightest dignified and noble temperament.However, there is a vigor and vitality in the whole body, which makes people feel kind.

Moreover, Liu Yun vaguely felt a strange aura from the other party that could not be ignored.

Obviously inhuman, but not like a monster.

At least not like the monsters I've encountered before.

Maybe the other party has something unknown with the soles of his feet, right?

Anyway, it is a world of strange power and chaos, and it is not uncommon for everyone to have their own fate.

Liu Yun didn't think much about it for a while, then bent down and bowed his knees in a gesture of salute.

But before he could bow down, Kinoshita Tokichiro rushed over to stop him: "No, you're welcome! Anyway, I'm not a high-born person, hehe, it's too polite, but I'm not used to it!"

In other words, these short legs can move really fast, and they can cross a distance of several meters in an instant. From this point of view, the force is definitely not far behind.

But what is even more amazing is that Liu Yun, who has always been keen and vigilant, somehow subconsciously felt that Kinoshita Tokichiro was very friendly, like an old friend for many years, and it was difficult to keep alert in his heart.

It was as if some supernatural force was affecting the mind.

It seems that Tokichiro Kinoshita has some kind of innate ability.

It's amazing.

……

After meeting and taking a seat, a young attendant brought tea.

The two sides exchanged a simple exchange of words, and said some innocuous remarks such as "long-awaited".

As a traveler and a lover of shameful games, Liu Yun really has a bit of "long admiration" for the strange man Kinoshita Tokichiro.

In the "original history", this person will change his name to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the future and establish the Guanbai regime. He can be called the lowest-born ruler of Fusang for thousands of years, and it is also worth mentioning in the history of the world.

I have just arrived, and I have no clue about the world. At present, the best choice is to rely on the "Son of Destiny" in front of me, first stand firm, build some foundations, and then consider the follow-up.

As for Tokichiro Kinoshita, he was probably the first to ascend to a high position, and he was short of people. Hearing Beesuka Masataka said that there are such masters in the countryside, he gave birth to a thirst for talent.

Just hit it off.

So after a few words of greetings, it is a situation where the guests and the host enjoy each other and complement each other.

Mae Ye Nagayasu, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but interject: "Since Liuyun-sama is so powerful, he must be the best person to fight against the Demon Ninja..."

"Who told you to talk casually!" Hashuka Masatoshi interrupted angrily.

Mae Ye Changkang shrank his neck and head sank, and stopped talking.

Kinoshita Tokichiro smiled and smoothed out: "Okay, okay! Changkang is also anxious for business, so don't blame him."

Liu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, what's the deal with this 'Tao Demon Ninja'?"

Hearing this, Kinoshita Tokichiro sighed, his face became a little complicated, he reached out to touch the sighing beard, and said slowly: "This has to start from half a year ago... Since half a year ago, some specialties have appeared in the Kinki region. The mysterious ninja who attacked our Oda army transport unit was completely unknown and his whereabouts were strange. Every time he made a shot, he was accurate and ruthless. After encountering the attack several times, we began to pay attention and wanted to fight back. When one or two people are dispatched, it is really difficult to find a trail. After thinking about it, the only way is to lure them out to deal with them. However, those people are not only powerful, but also very careful. They will never show up."

Having said that, Kinoshita Tokichiro took a sip of tea, frowned and seemed to feel that the taste was unpleasant, but after a pause, he still drank it, and then said: "We have a lot of things, and it is impossible to keep paying attention to this, only temporarily. Give up. This time, I have to transport army funds from Mino, and I was worried about the accident, so I specially found Chang Kang, who is very skilled in martial arts, and brought [-] skilled samurai to do it, but I still can't stop it. "

Mae Ye Nagakura bowed his head in shame: "Lord Kinoshita is disappointed! Together, twenty brothers and I can't stop a ninja from each other..."

After listening to Liu Yun, he didn't feel strange: "It shouldn't be uncommon for enemy ninjas to attack the transport team."

Kinoshita Tokichiro frowned, like drinking medicine, he drank another cup of tea that the attendant had just added, shook his head and said, "It's okay to forget the normal transport team, but the people sent this time are not ordinary people. They can beat us by twenty. A good hand, with this ability, he would have long been a famous general, and he should not have appeared without warning in the past six months."

Liu Yun said again: "Perhaps someone like me who just started working?"

Kinoshita Tokichiro smiled wryly: "If you are someone who has just started an official career, you should leave a clear name. Even if you don't want to be famous, the people around you will definitely find a way to spread the word. ' There must be some reason for this codename calling itself and not revealing the real name."

Liu Yun couldn't help frowning.

Speaking of which, Kinoshita Tokichiro drank the third cup of tea, and he still didn't seem to like the taste, but his expression became more natural, and he was probably used to it.Then he added: "There is one more point, Chang Yasushi once said that the person who attacked him was covered in black veil. Judging from his stature, appearance and movement habits, he looked a bit like Naoki Endo, a retainer of the Asai clan. Died in battle, we have all seen it with our own eyes... this is also a place that has to be suspicious."
