Zheng Heng stroked the sword in his hand, looked down and stared, the blue-black knife body, the knife lines were like clouds clustered, showing a deep color like the sea. There is a relief of the Kuli Garosaurus at the interface of the hilt, and the inscription is engraved on the hilt, and the view of the long ship shows that it came from a famous family.

Zheng Heng stroked the blade of the knife, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Xiaolong Jingguang, it is rumored that it is Nanmu Zhengcheng's saber, a good loyal knife." "Taiping Ji" as a samurai's Mengxue, deeply influenced every Warring States period generals, "Taiping" will Kusunoki Masanari described as a good general with both wisdom, benevolence and bravery, a model of loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, which made him famous.

Miyahara replied respectfully, "Imai Munehisa of Naya also presented the pot of Matsushima and the aubergine of Sakull and a bag of Nanzhu. He didn't hide the Nanzhu that Imai Munehisa had dedicated to him, but took it out very generously and dedicated it to Zhengheng.

Matsushima no Kei, one of the three teapots in the world, received its name because of its many similarities to the scenic spots of Oshu, Matsushima. Augume eggplant, one of the four eggplants in the world, is also known as Mio Tsukushi, because this thing is held by Sakai's tea man Takeno Shaoou.

Zhengheng didn't seem to hear Miyahara Masashige's words, he repeatedly stroked the little dragon Jingguang in his hand, and said: "It is Kusunoki Masanari's saber, although Kusunoki Masanari took it to the east and west, in the end, it was taken by the Ashikaga Zun clan and ruined the southern dynasty. ”

Noyama Masachao asked, "Listen to what your lord means, this martial sword is an unlucky blade?" ”

Zhengheng shook his head and laughed, as if he had found something interesting, and put the knife in the scabbard and pinned it to his waist. Walked two laps. Laughed happily. Said: "It's really a good match, my saber will be it in the future." ”

Yeshan Yichao raised his head and looked at the lord with a touch of it, where was Zhengheng intoxicated with extravagance, he was already thinking about his next action. In the Great War of Kinai, the shogunate founded by the Ashikaga clan and the imperial line of the Northern Dynasty that he supported, regardless of the final victory of Ishiyama Honganji Temple or Enryakuji Temple, it was bound to have a huge impact and greatly weaken their influence. The Date family appeared in front of people wearing the sword of Kusunoki Masanari, a loyal minister of the Southern Dynasty. This is not a good indication of his tendency.

Yeshan Yichao's vision is still too narrow, he just understands the side of Zhengheng, but he doesn't see the other side of him clearly, that side is the face that shows his ambition, Zhengheng is holding Nanmu Zhengcheng's saber, just to draw out the old and young of the Southern Dynasty? He is not a good man and a woman, nor is he a person who wants to put a tight hoop on his head.

Zheng Heng buried the ambition in his heart deep in his heart, and he would not declare it until he achieved his goal, he hung the knife on his waist and pointed to the tea vessel and Nanzhu on the ground. Said: "Miyauchi, repair." Each of you has a tea vessel, and the rest of the Namjo will be handed over to Tanba. ”

Ishikawa Hissataka, who had been sitting on one side like a Buddha, looked up in amazement, and after Date Masahiro obtained the second rank of Dazai from the fourth, he applied for various official positions for his generals, and Ishikawa Hisataka was appointed as the deputy minister of the department in charge of the repair and construction of the palace.

Matsushima no pot and Shao Ou eggplant, for the vassal elegance, are national treasure-level tea vessels that can be taken out to show off, today Imai Munehisa in order to survive, reluctantly entrusted Miyahara Masashige to hand over to Masahiro, Masahiro carried forward the truth that there is a share of the meeting, but took one of the knives, two tea utensils were distributed to Noyama Masatomo and Ishikawa Hisataka, a bag of Nanzhu fell into the hands of Miyahara Masashige, it was really flattering.

For Miyahara Masashiro, Nanzhu was originally a benefit fee given to him by Imai Munehisa. If he really hid it in private, he would have been seized by Imai Munehisa, and there was also a moment when the explosive powder keg was hidden at home and could not be used, and once used, the origin of the jewelry would be questioned. Now if he turns his hand and returns it to his hand, he can use it generously and without any scruples. However, he originally thought that at most he would get a small share of the treasure, and most of them would not be able to get it back, and if he said that he was satisfied, he would inevitably have a little pimple in his heart. Who would have thought that Zhengheng would be so generous, which made him ashamed, his face blushed slightly, and he lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Noyama Masasa, Ishikawa Hisataka, and Miyahara Masashige fell to the ground with joy and sincerity, everything in front of him was like a dream, he looked flattered, and bowed to Zhengheng and said: "Thank you for the reward of the lord, your majesty will definitely not live up to the lord's grace." ”

Zhengheng glanced at the retainers and said softly: "Imai Munehisa's gift is very heavy, but he can't take out a bag of jewels, so the only thing that can explain is that this bag of jewels was taken out by the important member of the Wako group who was under our house arrest. ”

After the three of them finished the salute, they each knelt near the left. Miyahara rethought the performance of Imai Munehisa at that time, and he found that as the lord expected, he looked reluctant when he took out the three wooden boxes, but when he took out the bag of jewels that was worth as much as the former, he was too casual. Miyahara replied repeatedly: "My lord, it's true, but what's the difference? ”

Zheng Heng knocked on the desk, raised his head and said, "Tomorrow summon Imai Munehisa into the city, and at the same time order him to bring an entourage." He couldn't directly meet the personnel of the Wako group, lest he be grabbed by the handle and dragged down the whirlpool, but he was a little unwilling to let it go.

Noyama Masachao and the others were stunned, they didn't know why their lord would change his order, could it really be that he was dazzled by a bag of jewelry, but it was not like his style, you must know that he just gave a bag of jewelry to Miyahara Masashige.

Zhengheng looked at the three of them, they were all his core figures, but his eyes were always fixed on the small island, in the minds of the Japanese natives, Kyushu, Honshu, Shikoku and the surrounding islands were the world, as if this was the world. If there are people in the Japanese country who have seen the world outside the Japanese country, it is ridiculous to say that they are the Japanese invaders, they are the losers of the war between the Japanese countries, and they only boarded the ship to do that unprofitable business when they had no way out, and these people can be said to have been forced to open their eyes and become the pioneers of the overseas development of the Japanese country.

From the bottom of his heart, Masahiro refused to follow the old path that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had taken in history, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi failed, and he thought that it would be difficult for him to achieve higher achievements. Not to mention once he made such a decision. Then the book will also face a harmonious fate.

Zheng Heng said with a hint of gloomy tone: "You all know the origin of the iron cannon. The current Wa Kingdom is no longer the Wa Kingdom of hundreds of years ago, when there were only Tang people on the island, but now those adventurers with the dream of the 'Golden Country' have poured into the Wa Kingdom by boat, bringing unprecedented changes to the Wa Kingdom. If we can't seize this opportunity, then we can only be the object of their wreath, and this is the root of my new ship. ”

Noyama asked, "But my lord, do you know why the Southern Barbarians are so keen on our country?" Why is there a saying about the Land of Gold? ”

Zhengheng looked at Yeshan Yichao with a deep gaze. He said calmly: "In the past, during the battle of Yuankou, there was a southern barbarian named Marco Polo who came to the capital of Yuanda, and after returning to China, he wrote a book, which mentioned the Wa Kingdom, saying that gold was everywhere, and the eaves were even made of gold. I don't know if gold is everywhere, but Iwami and Tajima's silver mountains are worth a million taels a year, which is a considerable amount of money, but now we can only watch them pile up in warehouses. It can't be used, everyone looks around. Only the Wangzhi clique in Hirado was able to help us digest them, obtaining food and weapons from them, especially a large number of iron cannons. ”

Miyahara Masashige was surprised by the lord's words from the bottom of his heart, and he replied: "Lord, you said that you don't want to get involved in the whirlpool of the Wang Zhi group, if you do business with them, it will inevitably attract the attention of the Wang Zhi group, and I am afraid that I will not be able to help myself at that time." ”

Zhengheng nodded at Miyahara Masashige and said: "You are too anxious, who said that you must do business with him, our only concern now is that we have a narrow vision, and we can hear some truths that others don't know from his mouth." Although he may not be telling the truth, we are able to make analytical judgments. ”

The three of them were once again impressed by Zhengheng, yes, who said that they must cooperate with the people who came?

Moreover, the identity of the person who came was the entourage of Imai Munehisa, and Imai Sohisa offered a treasure, so he naturally had to be summoned to give him a gift. How many hours did his retinue disappear when they met at the master's house, and who knows? Even if this red lady wants to go into the water at Aida's house, there is no evidence, and others will treat her as nonsense and poor skills. You must know that the two guards of the red lady were arrested and beaten by Date's family before, and the police appeared in a grand manner near the house, all of which was done for outsiders to see. Look, the Date family didn't mean to be involved with her in the slightest. Imai Munehisa is also a smart person, and he will not climb the relationship between the two families, you must know that he gave away half of the family business, and the plan is to find a backer.

Miyahara Masashige knew that this matter was important and could not be faked, but he could not come to the door in person, so he sent his cronies, the lame housekeeper, to find Imai Munehisa. After Imai Muneshi worshiped Miyahara Masashige for a long time, he didn't dare to go back to the house. You must know that he deceived the Red Lady, saying that he was going to the Tennoji House, and finally went to the Miyahara Mansion, and he did not mention the Red Lady in the meeting with Miyahara Masashige, and took the bag of treasures of the Red Lady for his own use, and gave it to Miyahara Masashige together.

The lame butler still had some connections in Okayama Town, and soon found Imai Munehisa, who was drinking sullen alcohol, in an izakaya and conveyed his master's reply. When Imai Munehisa heard this, the wine immediately woke up, and he knew that his opportunity had come.

Imai Munehisa returned to Naya with a happy smile, went out in the morning, and returned to Naya in the evening, as soon as he walked into Naya, there was something wrong with the atmosphere, his family was tied up and whining and crying, and a long knife was on his neck.

Imai Munehisa was furious, he was doing a little running outside, and when he returned home, he was treated like this, and he immediately wanted to explode, but the knife was in his neck, and the cold blade was about to pierce his throat at any time, and he called softly: "Miss, it's all my fault, I lured the wolf into the room and humiliated myself." ”

The red lady appeared in front of him with a face like frost, her voice was cold and ruthless, full of murderous intent, and said: "You didn't go to the Tianwang Temple House today, I'm afraid that our details have been sold by you, and now you have to come to deceive and eat the bear's heart and leopard gall." ”

Imai Sohisa's clenched fist slowly loosened, his anger gradually extinguished, his heavy breathing slowly calmed down, and he said, "Hmph, do you think that Tennoji House can really see Dazai Daijiden?" They were just a businessman, and I went with a generous gift to find someone who could really meet His Highness, a famous knife that had been passed down for two or three hundred years and two world-famous tea utensils, all of which were given to each other for everyone's business. ”

The red lady's eyes flashed, waved her hand, and the leader of the guards pulled her knife away, she keenly felt that Imai Munehisa called the honorific of the Dazai Daiji Hall when he talked about Date Masahiro, and things should have taken a turn for the better, and said, "What is the reply of the Dazai Daiji in your mouth?" ”

is a keen and ruthless little lady, Imai Munejiu didn't dare to slack off, and said the reply he got 1510, which was also mixed with some private work, as if he had paid a heavy price for this matter, and finally had to be suspected by the red lady.

The red lady has reached the point of being a poor donkey, and every life-saving straw has to be grabbed fiercely, she agreed to the request to pretend to be an entourage, although she knows that what the other party does can be said to be leaky, and she will not be caught at all, but she is still confident to convince Date Zhengheng.

She had to be tough on her face, but at night she tossed and turned, and with her eyes open, she was preparing how to persuade Date Zhengheng to let him fight against Mao Haifeng's soldiers with her. Date Masahiro, who didn't know what she was going to see, seemed to have put the matter of meeting her in the back of his mind.

Hattori Masari appeared at the door with a report, written on light yellow paper, and was an urgent letter from Hattori's brother Hattori Homasa, the leader of Hattori's people in Ki, who was appointed as the head of the station in Kinai after returning to Okayama Castle in Tokaido.

Zhengheng took it and opened it, looked at ten lines, laughed after reading it, and said, "The mission of Ishiyama Honganji Temple has finally set off?!" ”

Hattori Masanari pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, my brother didn't find that eagle craftsman Honda Masanobu in the envoys, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air, will there be any extraneous branches?" ”

Zheng Heng paused and said, "You mean?" ”

Hattori Masarito: "The lord attaches so much importance to this eagle craftsman, it naturally makes sense, but since a glimpse of it some time ago, it has never appeared, and the minister doubts whether he has been removed from the list, you must know that his status is not very high." ”

Masahiro has a vague bad premonition, but he can't say it, today's Honda Masanori is just as Hattori Masanari said, his status is not high, and the eagle maker himself is a profession engaged in by a slut, and it is a profession such as a servant. (To be continued.) )
