But the clan is not in a hurry to go back, Azuchi is so huge, if you don't have a good stroll, then I'm really sorry for yourself, Azuchi has three horizontal and three vertical six avenues, each avenue is more than a kilometer in length, in addition to these avenues, there are criss-crossing paths, such a path not to mention the clan, even Azuchi does not necessarily know how many.

There are a lot of people on the street, in addition to the samurai, family members, and civilians who have already become famous, of course, like this world center, of course, there are indispensable ronin samurai who want to try their luck, their first wish is, of course, to be accepted by the Oda family as a retainer, but don't look at this Azuchi town at the foot of Oda Nobunaga's residence, but Nobunaga didn't have time to come here, so this can only be regarded as a wish, and their real purpose is to be valued by the retainers of the Oda family, so as to become their retainers. For these ronins, this is already the best outcome.

Although the most powerful retainers of the Oda family have now been sent out, there are so many samurai of the Oda family, of course, they will be promoted by a group, although they are far worse than the six important ministers such as the Takayama clan in terms of reputation and strength, but this is not what most of the ronins here care about, most of the ronins only care about when they are recruited, even if the identity of the other party is just a small head, as long as they can afford to give a fortune, they will also choose to go out, their requirements are very low, just to have enough to eat. Even in normal times, they will accept the employment of merchants, and they don't care about the future or anything.

In addition to these people who eat and wait for death, there is also a small group, these people have higher goals, and they hope to find a capable lord. Because only then can they follow the deeds. and even become a lord with knowledge and deeds. But it was undoubtedly more difficult for these people to become officials, because many of the samurai who wanted to recruit them as retainers were not looked down upon, and the other party they fancied did not necessarily pay attention to them, so they were the most down-and-out in the town, often wearing patched samurai uniforms, with unkempt hair and unshaven beards. Of course, it is not excluded that there are some lucky ones among them, for example, a few days ago, there was an aspiring samurai who was appreciated by the old Niwa Nagahide of the Oda family and was recruited as a retainer.

Although Niwa Nagahide has been a little unable to keep up with the Oda clan since the establishment of the Oda clan legion, this is only the idea of the head of the samurai family who already has a large territory in the high-ranking samurai, but for these ronin, Niwa Nagahide is definitely an unattainable giant tree that can be appreciated by him and recruited as a retainer. Then you can definitely be proud, of course, there are not too many lucky people like this. Although they have empty ambitions, even if they are better, their abilities can only be regarded as average, after all, most of them are not from martial arts, or just some samurai from small wealthy families, they haven't read many books, and martial arts are commonplace.

In addition to these people, there are some smaller number of ronin, they are basically some samurai who have been defeated and do not want to submit to the previous hostile forces, their ability is undoubtedly the strongest among these people, at least in terms of ability, they are already a qualified samurai, but their requirements for the rank are higher, in addition to the requirements for the identity of the other party, and they have to make them look pleasing to the eye, and the most important thing is that there is room for development, although Niwa Nagahide is good, but for these people, they don't look down on it very much, Because Niwa Nagahide is the elder of the Oda family, but he is responsible for internal affairs, and rarely fights, for himself, this is nothing, anyway, he has already mixed up, what is he not doing, but this hinders the development of his retainers, what do you rely on to promote? Internal affairs are indeed possible, but that is too slow, so war, and gaining merit on the battlefield is the fastest shortcut, so these people are notoriously difficult to serve among the ronin.

These ronins usually gather around the Sparrow House in the center of Azuchi, because this is the only place where more samurai can be seen, and they have a better chance of being chosen. The ronins gathered here or scattered around the sparrow house, if they are added together, there are at least hundreds, they come from all over the world, and the people are mixed, so this is also the focus of Azuchi's defense, but don't look at the gathering of so many ronins here, but there are few fights, because these people know that once they fight with others and are discovered by the town guard, then don't think about it in the future, at least don't want to serve Oda.

Azuchi Sparrow House is located in the southeast corner of the crossroads, it can be said that this location is the best in the entire prosperous area, today's Sparrow House has been different from before, before it was just a casino, and now, at least the Sparrow House in front of you, not only gathers entertainment, but also has a trading place on the first floor, and the shopkeeper divides the trading place into two parts, one part is open for the common people, here you can not only buy fabrics, farm tools, and even some commonly used such as needle and thread can be bought, Although the things are very comprehensive, the area is not large, so the placement of items is a little crowded.

And the other part,It's much wider.,Not only is the area larger.,And the luxury of the interior is much stronger.,This part doesn't need to ask to know.,It's open to the samurai.,But you can't see the swords and weapons made by the Takayama family inside.,Everything else is readily available.,After all, the clan has suspended the sale of homemade equipment in order to expand the army.,Because there are no these for sale for the time being.,So in addition to some samurai family members.,You can't see the shadow of the samurai at all.,For the samurai,The most needed thing is not there. Then they definitely won't come in.

As soon as the clan entered the sparrow house, the surrounding ronins all leaned towards the sparrow house, intentionally or unintentionally, and from time to time they talked to the familiar ronins around them.

"Kanbei, look, this samurai must be a great adult." Although a ronin was talking to the ronin called Kanbei, his eyes did not take off the sparrow house, as if he was afraid that the adult would suddenly disappear.

"Aren't you talking nonsense, the adults who can be personally accompanied by the garrison of Azuchi, there are so many samurai behind him, it must be a big shot, I think you Gosuke don't dream, if you really want to be a leader, let's change your clothes first, just your tattered clothes, a noble samurai like that will definitely not take a fancy to you." The ronin called Kanbei was not very impressed, although he didn't know who the samurai lord was, but he knew that the other party's status in the Oda family must not be low, and it might even be at the same level as Niwa Nagahide, well, not possible, it must be, and only Niwa Nagahide is a major minister of the Oda family, and the town garrison will personally accompany him, but what does this have to do with himself, he never thinks that the other party can take a fancy to him at a glance, and recruit himself as a retainer, Such good deeds should be limited to legends, so although he also came over, he kept a normal heart.

"Hey, what the hell do you mean, what's wrong with my clothes, look at you, the clothes you're wearing are not the same torn." Then the ronin called Gosuke fought back without showing weakness at all.

"You know, my clothes are a little torn, but look at this ten-word gun in my hand." As he spoke, he placed the spear in his hand in front of Gosuke, and continued: "See, as long as the spear in my hand comes out, it will definitely take an enemy, what is the use of wearing good clothes, samurai eat with bravery." ”

"What! Do you mean to say that my martial arts are not as good as yours! Hearing the other party belittle himself like this, Gosuke couldn't help but be angry, and said in a tough tone.

But Kanbei didn't take the other party's anger seriously, as long as he had a gun in his hand, let alone one Wusuke, even if it was three or five, he was not afraid, so he continued to laugh and said, "Don't you know?" ”

In terms of martial arts, Wuzhu is indeed a lot worse than the other party, but he is a brute force, even if the other party's martial arts are good, he can also fight a tie with him, but now the other party has a spear in his hand, and the spear is good, and he only has an iron knife that is polished with iron pieces and made into a knife style, so that he is really not the opponent of the other party now, but although he can't beat it, but the momentum is not weak, so I just heard him say: "Hmph, what's the big deal, don't think you have a broken gun in your hand and think how great you are, If it weren't for the disgraceful thing I didn't do with you last time to escort cargo for the Sparrow House, I would have owned a spear. ”

"Who do you say is disgraced!"

"I'll just talk about you, what's the matter?"

"How dare you say it again."

"I dare to say it a hundred times."

"What kind of ability is just talking, you have the ability to fight with me."

"Fight is war, don't think that having a broken gun is great."

"Who did you say was holding a broken gun?" ……

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, the garrison is now in the sparrow house, if you two don't want to go out, go away, so as not to alarm the garrison, and everyone will have no good fruit to eat at that time." At this time, another ronin came over and listened to him.

However, compared to Kanbei and Gosuke, this ronin named Matashiro is much thinner, not to mention anything else, with his small body, if the two of them are willing, they can beat him with a single punch. But neither Kanbei nor Gosuke did this, because once there was a trouble, it was indeed like what Matashiro said, it was good to be expelled from Azuchi, maybe they would be killed directly because of the trouble, and it was too easy for the garrison to kill them, and it was for nothing to kill, so they just glared at each other and never spoke again.

Of course, in addition to them, the other ronins were also talking about it, but it was not so intense, so no one paid attention, and even the twenty guards standing guard outside the sparrow house ignored them. (To be continued.) )
