Chapter 362: A Different Ishikawa Goemon
Because of the "catalytic" effect of charm, Uesugi Chian "couldn't help but fall in love with Liu Yu", and it was difficult to help but achieve good things with him. However, from Uesugi Chia's occasionally unconscious demeanor and words, Liu Yu noticed that she still hadn't given her whole heart to him.
Although the "charm technique" that Liu Yu learned is the ultimate existence in this category of methods, it is not omnipotent for the extremely complex thing of "human heart". At the very least, it will never be able to turn Uesugi Qianxing into a trusted Liu Yu like Zhong Xiaoman.
However, even so, Liu Yu also believes that Uesugi Chixing will never betray him! With his god-level mental cultivation now, coupled with the ultimate effect of the charm technique, it is enough to eat the innate intermediate Uesugi Chiaprico! Therefore, when Uesugi Chiako said that she would summon her original subordinates to join Liu Yu's power, Liu Yu agreed without much thought and let her go.
To be honest, Liu Yu is guilty of Uesugi Qianxing. First, it was because he opened the plug-in of "Charm Technique" that he won the heart of Uesugi Chiako, which can be regarded as "despicable"; Second, it was also because he had just been "newly married", and he instructed Uesugi Chiyoko to run around for his business, intending to gain three things.
Although Liu Yu felt that he already had the hidden appearance of "scum attack", he did not regret it, because it was the most advantageous to do so, he didn't want to spend more time in this world, he had left Zhong Xiaoman and them for so long, he missed them, and hoped to solve the affairs of this world as soon as possible, so as to return to the "upper realm" as soon as possible.
As for Uesugi Chiaprico. Liu Yu naturally won't throw it away after playing. He will try his best to be good to her, even if he is scum, he can't be too scumbag!
In the following month, Liu Yu lived an unusually leisurely and comfortable life. Most of the time is spent on self-cultivation and learning from Mu Canglang, and the rest of the small half of the space is spent in the amusement with Kotaro.
Under the careful guidance of Mu Canglang, coupled with the care and sparring of the Wind Demon Clan, Liu Yu not only completely stabilized the cultivation of the Nian God level, but also rebuilt the "Canglang Knife Technique" and learned the sword technique that Mu Canglang did not record in the secret book. Its attack power has improved compared to before......
Just when Liu Yu realized that his strength was infinite and his spirit was refreshed, Ishikawa Goemon returned. However, he came back alone when he went out to recruit people, and he did not follow Akechi Mitsuhide's old department back then. Fortunately, after seeing Liu Yu, he immediately explained. didn't let Liu Yu open his mouth to ask!
"My lord, my subordinates have lived up to expectations and have gathered a group of loyal people who were willing to resist the tyranny of Oda Nobunaga! It's just that the number of these righteous men is a little small, alas, the people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead ......" sighed a few words, and Ishikawa Goemon said: "Fortunately, those righteous men have wandered the world all over the years and have made many friends, and many of them also have a lot of complaints about Oda Nobunaga." So I asked each of them to go and ask for people......
Moreover, without telling the lord, his subordinates are not very sure if there are any ill-intentioned guys among those righteous people, so they don't dare to expose this secret! The land of Wind Demon Village is located deep in the mountains, and it is self-sufficient, which is very suitable for our secret base and logistics base......"
Liu Yu understood what Ishikawa Goemon meant, nodded, and said with a smile: "Have you set a time and place for the appointment and meeting with those so-called 'righteous people'?" โ
"Considering that the lord is going to take Sumata Castle as the main city, I will set the meeting place at 'Mikawa Town', which is less than seventy miles away from Sumata Castle, and ...... in three days."
Liu Yu indeed intended to capture the Sumamata Castle, which was defended by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Then, using Sumamata Castle as a base, he built a force that was not afraid of Oda Nobunaga. Who said that Sumamata Castle is the closest to the "entrance" to this world?! Besides, Liu Yuke is still thinking about the grudge between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Beesuka Koroku!
After asking about the location of Mikawa Town, Liu Yu did not delay any longer, and explained a few words to the Wind Demon Shoji Jinai and Kotaro. He went to Mu Canglang's house and prepared to say goodbye to his master.
Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon stand side by side. {Friend upload update} Mu Canglang faced them. Although there are too many scenes of life and death in my life, when I taste it again, I am always a little stunned.
Liu Yu smiled and said, "The disciple is gone, Master, wait until I have a firm foothold in Momata City, and then I will come to pick you up in person......" During this time, Mu Canglang's dedication to Liu Yu's teaching made Liu Yuming feel heartfelt, and naturally he paid more sincerity, unlike when he first rescued Mu Canglang, he used his heart more.
Mu Canglang said quietly: "After leaving the mountain, act carefully, if the strength is insufficient, you will come back, and when my strength recovers, I will help you......"
Liu Yu said in a low voice: "It won't be so bad." Of course, if I am invincible, I will not fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi and them, and I can't say that I will really use your strength, Master. โ
Looking at Ishikawa Goemon, Mu Canglang said in a sand voice: "Goemon, after you go, you take care of Xiao Yu more, although his strength is higher than yours, he is still young, and many unsightly things are still unknown, you pay attention to my life, don't let him suffer!" โ
Ishikawa Goemon nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely take care of the ...... of the Guild."
Mu Canglang waved his hand and said, "Go." Remember, you have to tell me as soon as you get done, and don't wait for anything to stand firm before sending someone back! Without waiting for Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon to say anything, Mu Canglang had already turned around and walked into the house, and the wooden door at the entrance of the hall had been slowly closed.
smoothed the white sรจ robe on his body, and Liu Yu said in a low voice: "Go!" After today, I'm afraid that I will have to be with the family of the war again, and the blood will be the company. โ
Ishikawa Goemon nodded silently. So, they used the art of lightening their bodies, and they swept out of the mountain as quickly and elegantly as two wisps of wind.
########################################
It is a place of trade and trade for 17 villages within a radius of 100 miles, and is located at the confluence of three rivers, and has a name called "Mikawa Town".
rรฌ legitimately. It's lunchtime. The bazaar doesn't seem very lively now, and there are few pedestrians on the narrow streets......
Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon had just arrived here, and they didn't look for horses to travel, they all came by themselves, and the reason why they didn't manage to get two mounts was mainly for fear that Oda Nobunaga's people would find out their whereabouts, leak the news, and cause unexpected trouble.
You must know that in the past month or so, because of the demise of the Nizi Ten Banners and Takeda Chibei Cavalry and other teams. Oda Nobunaga was already a little crazy on his side, and although he didn't want to see the generals and clans who had returned to him, he didn't want them to be slaughtered at will. According to the information found by Ishikawa Goemon, Oda Nobunaga has sent a large force. With the idea of "I'd rather kill the wrong than let it go", he slaughtered many people who he thought were "disobedient......
Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon are still dressed when they went down the mountain, and after this long journey, they look even more dusty and sweaty......
They did not go directly into the bazaar, but trotted in circles along the field paths, hiding their tracks as much as possible by the cover of some bushes or the walls of their houses.
Now, they were heading towards the backyard of a solid bluestone house. The house was just a typical example of what ordinary people lived in. There is no eye-catching or protruding place, it is very ordinary and ordinary.
While monitoring the movements around him, Liu Yu said: "Goemon, is your secret stronghold in front?" โ
The pace quickened, and Ishikawa Goemon whispered, "Yes, my lord." A long time ago, subordinates set up this place, and its xรฌng nature is unusually secret. The main purpose of the subordinates to set up this secret stronghold is to monitor Toyotomi Hideyoshi's movements nearby. After all, he was one of the direct murderers of my father-in-law, Akechi Mitsuhide......"
Liu Yu nodded, and said, "Is there really no one here who knows the Dao?" I've heard that Toyotomi Hideyoshi is a very powerful person, and this place is so close to his old nest, Sumata Castle, there is no reason why he can't comb it well? โ
Ishikawa Goemon shook his head and said, "The people on Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side won't know about it. Because this is a dark move prepared by his subordinates, it is also the best way to retreat when taking refuge. After all, the most dangerous place is also the safest place! Therefore, it takes a lot of effort for the subordinates to work here, and the subordinates have absolute confidence that this place will not be detected by anyone! โ
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yu said again: "By the way, Goemon, what is the name of the character you stayed here to preside over here?" โ
Ishikawa Goemon nodded and said, "Yes, he is a house slave transferred to his subordinates by his subordinate father-in-law in front of him, loyal and reliable, and pragmatic. Although the swelling is a little hot, he will definitely not forget his righteousness and betray his subordinates......"
For Ishikawa Goemon, Liu Yu was still willing to give his trust, and when he saw that he had made a guarantee, he didn't ask much, and said with relief: "This is the best." Well, it's time to ......"
Ishikawa Goemon first went to stand under a clump of spotted bamboos, he looked at the blue brick wall close at hand, and then looked at the closed back door, and after half a sound, he said in a low voice, "I hope there is no problem." However, as the lord just said, it is better to be cautious, you are a golden body, and you can't easily get into danger......"
Smiling disappreciatively, Liu Yu whispered: "Go over the wall and go in?" โ
Ishikawa Goemon shook his head and said, "No, there must be a communication code between his subordinates and Hideji Hatano. After a little hesitation, he said again: "Lord, there will inevitably be changes, or let the subordinates send the code first!" โ
After Liu Yu nodded, Ishikawa Goemon strode to the black back door. He didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door panel, "Knock...... "Knock......", "Knock......" "Knock"! "Boom"! "Boom"! Three slows and three urgents, the vibration sound of the door panel is clear and empty, and it immediately spreads out!
After knocking. Ishikawa Goemon waited quietly, for a while, but there was still no response, he began to be vigilant, again, he knocked the door panel, still three slow and three urgent!
Just when the echo of the last "dong" was still wafting in the air, the black wooden door had suddenly opened, but the face of Ishikawa Goemon was not a human face, but two sharp and fast snow bright katanas! At the same time, three Dongying samurai also flew down on the wall.
The two katanas in the door began to flash, and he didn't even see the movements of Ishikawa Goemon clearly, his body only shook slightly, and the two Dongying samurai holding the swords had already fallen to the ground screaming in unison!
Suddenly turned around. Ishikawa Goemon followed, and was about to clean up the three Toei samurai who had fallen from the wall. But. As soon as he thought about it, the three Dongying warriors had already seen him clearly. I can't tell what kind of surprise and horror expressions were on the three faces at that moment, they shouted in unison, and at the end of the screams, they all "pounced" and fell to their knees!
Slightly stunned, Ishikawa Goemon said coldly: "You guys get up, I'll ......" He said this, and over there, a thick voice that was mixed with joy and sorrow and trembled with excitement and excitement had already screamed: "Oh my God...... The young master, it turned out to be the young master......"
Follow the sound and watch. Ishikawa Goemon was unconsciously full of relief, the black-faced thick-eyed Toei samurai who staggered over, well, who else would it be if it wasn't Hideji Hatano?!
Hideji Hatano rushed to Ishikawa Goemon in one go. Before Ishikawa Goemon could say anything, he fell to his knees violently, his whole body trembled, and in the midst of tears, he actually convulsed again and let out a sad laugh: "Young master...... Young Master...... Sure enough, it's your old man...... Sure enough, it's your old man...... The sky has eyes...... Young master, you ...... Not dead...... His subordinates have long known about it...... You will never die......"
The tip of his nose was sore, and Ishikawa Goemon's eyes were red unconsciously, and he looked at the four loyal brothers kneeling on the ground, and said movingly: "Get up, get up, and speak slowly if you have something to say." I'm fine, I've always been good........." As he spoke, he took a step forward and helped the four of them up one by one, and the four of them stood on the side with their hands down, but they couldn't help but stare at Ishikawa Goemon fixedly, and there were still tears on their four faces.
Ishikawa Goemon was very scary when he first saw Liu Yu, his face was full of round scars and poisonous spots, but now he has greatly improved despite the treatment of the elixir. But it still left a hideous mark.
Snorting, Hideji Hatano choked up with grief and indignation: "Young master, you have suffered!" I'm afraid you've suffered a lot of sins...... Some time ago, my subordinates heard from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's people that you are old and dead, and you have been plotted. They also publicized your body, and their subordinates quietly went to see it. The corpse was so unrecognizable that no one could tell if it was you old. Although my subordinates have always thought that it was a trick made by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but because I haven't been able to contact you, I can't help but feel worried, but now it's okay......"
Ishikawa Goemon raised his eyebrows and said, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi said he had already killed me?" โ
"yes." Hatano Hideji nodded and said, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi, that dog thief, I don't know where I found a corpse and cooked it in a vat, saying that it is you, the young master!" The brothers have had a hard time for more than a month, everyone is full of tears and tears to each other, and the grief is unbearable, we don't believe that the young master has been poisoned, and we always look forward to the sudden appearance of the young master...... God has eyes, it's a miracle, we really hope for the young master, and the living hope is back......"
Ishikawa Goemon closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Hideji, I'll introduce you to someone!" This is my current lord, I have given all my net worth, and I have sworn to die with all my dedication to the great cause of the lord, and then I have ......"
From the very beginning, Liu Yu had been quietly standing by Ishikawa Goemon's side and listening, he had not made a sound, and it was only at this time that he nodded lightly.
Although Hideji Hatano didn't understand why Ishikawa Goemon would be subservient to others, but in this world, it is very common to take refuge in allegiance and the following kamiga, so he didn't express too many doubts, and after being slightly stunned, he took the other three people to come forward and salute and sign up, and he was very respectful to Liu Yu in the form.
However, Liu Yu knows very well that Hideharu Hatano's courtesy is not aimed at him personally, but for the sake of Ishikawa Goemon's face!
In this regard, Liu Yu doesn't mind, he just needs to guarantee the loyalty of Ishikawa Goemon, as for Ishikawa Goemon's subordinates, only he has to control himself!
Liu Yu looked around and said, "Let's go in, it's easy to stand here and be eye-catching." "Although this is a unique building, their group of people is too eye-catching, and if they stay outside, they may make people notice the abnormality.
Hatano Hideji woke up, and hurriedly blushed and confessed: "When I saw the young master, it was like a world away, and the joy and excitement in my heart almost dizzy, and I didn't welcome the lord and the young lord into the rest first, and I hope that the lord and the young master will spare ......."
Lord? Young master? Liu Yu feels a little wrong for no reason, why does it sound like the relationship between him and Ishikawa Goemon is like father and son?!
Ishikawa Goemon didn't notice anything unusual, and said with a smile: "It's just a short period of time that I haven't seen you, Hideji, how did you suddenly become elegant, I was really surprised!" โ
Hatano Hideji blushed again, and said embarrassedly: "Young master, don't tease your subordinates, lord, please follow your subordinates!" โ
Under the guidance of Hideji Hatano, a group of people hurriedly walked through the door around Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon, and the moment they entered the door, Ishikawa Goemon saw the two Toei samurai who had been shaken to the ground by him before. The two of them were still covered in mud, with blue noses and swollen faces, and when they saw Ishikawa Goemon looking at them, they couldn't help but bow down, looking extremely frightened.
Ishikawa Goemon went over and patted the two of them on the shoulder, and said kindly, "I'm sorry, I can't stop it for a while." โ
The two Dongying warriors were really flattered at this time, they were moved, and they said in unison: "I don't know if the young master has arrived, the little ones have abruptly attacked the young master, and the young master is still begging for forgiveness......"
Ishikawa Goemon smiled slightly and said, "That's it, those who don't know are not guilty." โ
Liu Yu was a little surprised to see Ishikawa Goemon's current performance, because Ishikawa Goemon has always been respectful, courteous, and restrained in front of him, and has never shown such a posture of a superior person. However, Liu Yu will not be wary of Ishikawa Goemon because of this, but is still a little relieved. (To be continued......)
