In fact, Tsugawa Soji still didn't expect what his words meant to the ninjas in Yamashita Village, so when Iwaki Shinkuro excitedly informed the other ninjas of the conversation that had just happened, everyone was boiling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shinkuro, is it true? Did Tsukawa-sama really say that? Among the ninjas, Matsujiro looked at Iwaki Shinkuro with green eyes and said excitedly.

Iwaki Shinkuro nodded heavily and replied, "Of course it's true, how about it, do you want to join the Tsugawa family?" ”

"If Tsukawa-sama really wants to reuse us, why not?" Matsujiro said slowly, "To be honest, although life is not bad today, but we are ninjas after all, although we don't talk about it, but I think everyone is still very nostalgic for the work they used to have." ”

"No one is willing to live in this mountain village, and now since such a powerful force as the Tsugawa family is willing to recruit us, why don't we take this opportunity to do it again? Everyone said no! Matsujiro turned back to the rest of the ninjas and said loudly.

"Yes!" "Matsujiro is right!" The other ninjas shouted as well.

Shikuro Iwaki nodded and said, "Okay! In that case, let's go over now, and don't let Tsugawa-sama wait. ”

With that, Iwaki Shinkuro led everyone to find Tsugawa Soji.

Not long after, when Iwaki Shinkuro and the others came to Jiro's house, Tsugawa Soji was sitting on the ground and waiting patiently.

"Tsugawa-sama, I've brought everyone here!" Iwaki Shinkuro bowed to Soji Tsugawa and said slowly.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa raised his head and looked at Iwaki Shinkuro and the rest of the ninjas around Iwaki Shinkuro, and said with a smile, "Why did you call you here, I think you also know it, so what objections do you have to the family's request?" ”

"Tsugawa-sama, I wonder how we will be treated after joining the Tsugawa family?" Shigeshiro asked with a look of hope at this time.

Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "I have appointed Taro Iwaki as the head of the ninja of my family, and I have given me the status of a samurai, and you will be under his jurisdiction in the future." ”

"As for the others, as ordinary ninjas of the family, how about 15 stone rice per person a year?"

As soon as Soji Tsukawa's words fell, the other people in the room looked at Iwaki Taro on the side with envy, but everyone didn't think there was anything, after all, Iwaki Taro was also raised by everyone, and even Iwaki Taro's skills were taught by everyone, and Iwaki Taro could become a samurai, which everyone was happy to see.

"Tsukawa-sama, Shiro Shimoshige, originally served the adults!" Shigeshiro hurriedly said affirmatively.

"Matsujiro is also willing to die for the Tsugawa family!"

"We do, too!"

Seeing that the ninjas were all showing a happy look, Tsugawa Soji breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Okay, you can go back to your respective homes, pack your luggage, bring your family, and we will leave for Tsugawa Castle in the afternoon!" I'll arrange accommodation for you then! ”

"Hah!"

The ninjas left one after another, and when Soji Tsugawa was about to get up and call Takahashi Koke and the others, Jiro returned.

Jiro was carrying a bow and arrow on his back and half a deer leg in his hand, and after seeing Soji Tsugawa, Jiro said happily, "Look! I have meat to eat at noon today! ”

"Awesome!" Soji Tsugawa recognized at a glance that this was the leg of a wild deer, after all, Miki Naogo and others had often sent venison before, "This is what you hunted?" ”

"Of course!" Jiro casually put the deer leg aside, and continued, "But this is the wild deer that everyone hunted together, and the rest of the meat is shared among everyone." But this deer leg is enough for so many of us. ”

"My mother should still be at Xiao Erlang's house at the head of the village at this time, so I'll go and ask her to come back and prepare lunch." Jiro turned and walked out of the room.

At this time, Soji Tsugawa also came to the house where Takahashi Xingjia and the others were, and said to the people inside, "Get up." ”

"Hah!" Seeing that Soji Tsugawa woke him up, Takahashi Xingjia and the others hurriedly stood up.

"Lord, did you sleep well last night?" Takahashi Koke came to Tsugawa Soji's side and said.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "It's not bad, but I've already achieved the purpose of our trip just now." ”

"The lord means the ninjas here?" Takahashi Xingjia said excitedly.

"Not bad!" Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Just now, I met with the ninjas here, and they have already agreed to leave the Shihon's house, so let's leave for Tsugawa Castle in the afternoon." ”

"Great!" Takahashi said happily, "In this way, the family's external intelligence collection work can be carried out smoothly." ”

"The specific situation still needs to be calculated after returning to Jinchuan City." Soji Tsugawa continued, "This time we came to Yamashita Village, in addition to attracting these ninjas, we actually have another gain. ”

"Harvest?" Takahashi Xingjia asked with a confused face, "What harvest?" ”

Soji Tsugawa said with a smile on his face, "Alone! ”

"People? Who? ”

Just when Takahashi was wondering, Jiro also returned home with his mother.

"Adults must be hungry, right? I'm going to cook, and I'm going to ask you to wait a moment! Jiro's mother said with a smile, then picked up the deer leg and walked to the kitchen.

At this time, Jiro said to Tsugawa Soji with a look of hope, "Toki-sama, I heard my mother say that sir, do you think I can become a samurai?" ”

"Of course it's true, Jiro, you have a good archery skill, and if you make meritorious contributions on the battlefield in the future, you will definitely become a samurai." Soji Tsugawa said affirmatively.

"Then I'll go to Torikai Castle tomorrow, and I heard that the new lord of the castle is recruiting a standing ashigaru." Jiro said excitedly, but then said with a sad face, "But Jiro has to take care of his mother, and if he goes to be a shigaru, he won't be able to take care of his mother, alas! ”

"Forget it, what's so good about being a samurai? Why don't you feel at ease in Yamashita Village? Although Jiro didn't care about it, the unwillingness in his expression revealed Jiro's mood at this time.

Soji Tsugawa smiled slightly, but did not answer.

The group sat in the house until Jiro's mother had prepared lunch.

"Jiro, come, this is for you!" Jiro's mother handed the bowl full of venison one night to Soji Tsugawa, who took the bowl after thanking him, and asked about the smell of meat, and Soji Tsugawa secretly swallowed his saliva.

Tsugawa Soji's diet is different from that of people at this time, Tsugawa Soji usually eats breakfast, noon and evening three meals a day, but today he didn't eat breakfast, so Tsugawa Soji felt extremely hungry, picked up the bowl in his hand and began to eat regardless of the image.

Halfway through eating, Soji Tsugawa put down the bowl abruptly, and said with a smile on his face to Jiro, who was eating with relish, "Jiro, do you want to be a samurai?" ”
