Chapter 187: The Visitor
Yoshioka Masahide is out of Tomiki City in the scorching sun from time to time, and a group of more than 30 people, whether it is a samurai master or an Ashigaru citizen, did not find that there was one more boy in the team, in fact, there was no one more, but it was just a change, and the original figure and appearance were similar to Katayama Jiro Guard's young man who disappeared into Toki City, as if no one had seen it, and no one else found anything, but there were some complaints about Yoshioka Masahide's sudden promotion of a boy Lang to be a personal attendant, It's just that when those samurai lords look at this young man with thin skin and tender meat, they will more or less look at the young man's buttocks, and think of the prostitution. biquge.info During the Warring States Period, from the emperor to the lower-ranking samurai, there were endless things to raise prostitutes, and even some shabby families who had no money to raise prostitutes would look for children with fine skin and tender flesh in various villages to give them to the master's family for a chance to become a prostitute.
If Katayama Jiro Bei is considered to be a prostitute who relies on chrysanthemums to ascend to power, I don't know if there will be an angry scene of drawing a sword against each other, but no one is facing him, but everyone's eyes are more or less looking at a little troops, and he has been following Yoshioka Masahide with a heavy responsibility and no other actions.
It is less than five miles from Tomiki Castle to Kishi Honjo, and it was not necessary for more than 30 people to follow Yoshioka Masahide to come, but it was not that the Date family was too fierce and suddenly beat Doki Castle and Fujiki Castle to fall, and even Yoshioka Masahide was a little weak-hearted, and he came with more than 30 people to strengthen his courage.
Yoshioka Morihide also understood the truth that if he had to work for the donkey, he also had to give the donkey grass, and more than 30 people protected Yoshioka Masahide to meet Date Masahiro.
None of the more than thirty people complained about leaving Doumu City before the time, because at this time, it was the hottest time of the day, and the poisonous sun hanging overhead made people's gasps and breaths with a blazing breath. No one wants to stay in Douki Castle in full view, and if Yoshioka Masahide is angry with the Date family, they won't even have a place to escape, and they will be happy to be able to complete the mission early and leave this place where they will die at any time.
There was no need for Yoshioka Masahide to urge, they had already packed their bags, in fact, they didn't have a good rest, they all looked at the soldiers of the Date family who were eyeing them around with vigilance, and the cold arrows that stood up at every hair.
He stood at the head of Doumu City and frowned, watching Yoshioka Masahide and his party of more than 30 people slowly drift away in the sun, gradually disappearing between the mountains and valleys, secretly clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice: "Don't let me down." â
Yoshioka Masahide and his entourage left, and Asakura Jingkuni and Kirakone Jingyun also assigned their own tasks to go to get busy, in fact, to appease the soldiers, and began to repair a group of soldiers to repair the somewhat damaged Douki Castle.
In terms of defense, the geographical location of Toki Castle is more advantageous than Fujiki Castle, but Fujiki Castle can overlook the entire Yechi Township, which can be said to have its own merits. Of course, now that Zhengheng lives in Doumu City, the urgency of Doumu City is higher than that of Fujiki City. Fujiki Castle was originally opened automatically, and it did not experience the baptism of war, but it was completely preserved. Doumu City is not good, it was attacked by the Date army for a while, and there was a lot of damage in Otemon and other places, and now it is barely repaired, and there will be key repairs after the situation is stabilized in the future.
There was only one person left in the castle tower of Nuoda, and no maid dared to disturb him when Zhengheng was thinking about the problem, which was a lesson that had been paid in blood, and there was once a person who was thrown into the Takaliang River because he offended this rule.
It's getting late. The last rays of light of day are slowly creeping out of the paper windows. The spacious castle tower had not yet been lit, the tables, chairs, and tatami mats had become gloomy and blurred in the gloom, and the cherry blossom floor-to-ceiling screens on the walls were now only two dark silhouettes, which were disappearing into the shadows of the wooden walls.
Kogoro Iwase walked in lightly with a few guards, neatly placed a few candles in the room, and immediately retreated silently, and the soft light immediately filled all the space. Soon after, a wisp of wooden candles lit up in the room, emitting a rich woody scent.
This candle is made of wooden candles obtained from the castle, some are called Japanese candles, which are made of the yellow oak fruit of the Wa Kingdom and then heated into wood wax, and the middle is made of Washi Wei wick, which is said to have been specially purchased by the Kira brothers from Tsurushou Castle, and it is not clear where the captives from Tsurushou Castle came from. Wooden candles have a long history. I heard that it has been recorded in the Taiping Chronicles, and it is already quite common to enter the Warring States Period.
It is a rare in-demand commodity in Ado and Zhehe County, and only Zhengheng can enjoy it.
For these changes and movements around him, Zheng Heng just glanced up and didn't say anything, he was thinking about what to do next, Maori Yuan had already entered Bei China, and hundreds of cavalry from Maori were suddenly beaten by the Zhuang family. Once the dealer is defeated, it will be difficult for Bei China to be able to resist the unification of the Mimura family, even if the political balance thinks that it is very difficult, the strength of the Date family and the Mimura family are very different, even if the Date family can take the Zheta County along with the lĂŹ. The combined size of the three villages is similar to the actual land occupied by the three villages, but the two counties are mostly mountainous and only a small part of the land is fertile, but the three villages are different, and more than half of the land they occupy is fertile soil, so the comparison shows the difference.
As long as the Mimura family is given two or three years of time, the Date family will be dragged down, so only a quick decision can have a chance to win, but Zhengheng is a little unconfident that he can make a quick decision under the watchful eye of the Maori family, which is his headache and a place where he can hardly rest.
Maori Yuan was like a huge mountain pressing on his heart, like a flood of beasts devouring his self-confidence, his heart was shocked, only to feel that the white in front of him was vast, sitting in his position for a long time, suddenly realized that he was a little caught in a nightmare. He settled down, habitually touched his hand with the blindfold, took a deep breath, and spit it out again, still a little difficult to open, but it was a little better than just now.
Just as Masahiro took a deep breath, Kogoro Iwase appeared at the door and bowed in a low voice: "Report to Your Highness, a strange monk from outside the city said that he brought a letter from Lord Nikaido, and chased him all the way from Konee Castle to meet His Highness. He knew that Masahiro didn't like to be disturbed for no reason when he was thinking about things, but if there was something important, if he didn't report it, he was afraid that it wouldn't be as simple as throwing it into the Takaliang River, and he brought such an important thing as Nobuhiro Nikaido's letter. Nikaido Nobuhiro has not had any news since he left Date to go to Tsukiyama Tomita Castle a month ago, which made the family frightened for a while, and when he got the letter from the strange monk saying that it was Nikaido Shinhong, he immediately ran in person to report it, regardless of the rules of Zhengheng.
With Iwase Kogoro's report, the Masahiro in the room was stunned, he didn't expect that Nobuhiro Nikaido brought the letter, but why he would appoint a monk instead of his nephew Nikaido Sajiro to deliver the letter This matter did not attract enough attention from Masahiro, he tapped his knee lightly and said, "Bring him in, um, and at the same time let Gonroku Katayama come with him, I have something to discuss with him." "He sent a god to let Katayama Moricho come with him.
As he spoke, he grabbed the blue and white kimono on the screen and put it on, took the wooden candle and opened the wooden door, walked out of the corridor outside, and turned around the simple corridor to the meeting room, where Katayama Moricho and another bald-headed monk sat together, one left and one right.
Matsushima Yajiro, who was guarding at the door, saw Zhengheng coming, knelt on the ground and whispered: "Your Highness, this monk is so weird, I'm afraid that he is sick, and I ask Your Highness not to come close to him to be good." â
Zhengheng glanced at Matsushima Yajiro suspiciously, and then at Iwase Kogoro, who also showed a slightly thoughtful gaze, smiled undoubtedly, and said, "Mediocrity disturbs themselves?!" â
Seeing the arrival of Zhengheng, Katayama Moricho hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Highness! Zhengheng returned the salute, and went straight to the main seat, put down the wooden candle, and then looked at the strange monk in the mouth of Iwase Kogoro, and saw the monk's face clearly, and he couldn't help but think: "What a terrible ghost." â
It turned out that this monk had a dark complexion, and there were many scars on his face that were originally dissatisfied with the pit acne scars, and the appearance of kneeling seemed to be a little wrong, and he should have one leg and foot, and he also lost his left eye, and his outstretched finger was also missing, which could be said to be miserable, and it was a little shocking at a glance.
Only Katayama and the monk in the hall, no one else came in, and even the maid who served the tea did not dare to bring tea to the monk, Zhengheng shook his head, glanced at the maid who was already trembling with reproachful eyes, and took the tea from her hand.
Zheng Heng said with a smile as he walked: "Where did this high monk come from and what did he come from, I don't know why he impersonated the samurai of the Izumo Niko family?" Without waiting for the monk to react, he sat down on the main seat. But the words made Iwase Kogoro and Matsushima Yajiro, who followed in together, nervous, and clenched the hilt of the knife in their hands, making a gesture that they were going to step forward and kill at any time.
The evil monk was stunned, he didn't expect that Masahiro would be so sure that he was not a samurai of the Izumo Niko family, but he was not nervous, and he did not make an appearance of fleeing, he opened his one eye, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Why is Lord Date so sure that he is not from the Izumo Niko family?" â
