Chapter 445: The Digger of the Wall is Coming
It's a pity that Masahiro didn't wait for the news of the Maori father and son, but waited for the person who dug up the wall.
It's a sunny May morning. Crystal dew sparkles in the sunlight.
On a side road in the castle town of Kishitake Castle, two men dressed as foot merchants were walking slowly carrying goods that had been covered with thatch. Since the Luo family has recently been vigorously promoting the independent trade of the people, this kind of foot trader who specializes in carrying goods to sell everywhere has gradually increased in various parts of the territory.
Just as the two of them were moving forward slowly, the one who was walking in front suddenly stopped, and then without saying a word, turned around, picked up the person behind him who was carrying the goods, and quickly hid in a hidden corner nearby.
The picker was about to ask what was going on, but through the gap in the corner, he saw a strange patrol group of children ranging in age from seven or eight to ten years old, carrying bamboo guns on their shoulders, walking with strange steps along the path where the two had stopped.
"Isn't it just a few kids? You don't need to dodge, do you? After the patrol team left, the picker complained.
At first, the middle-aged man gave the complaining person a blank look. I thought to myself: Why did the lord send such an idiot to help me? Didn't he know about the situation here before he came? Now the identity cards on their bodies are forged, and once they encounter the patrol team, they will definitely find the problem. What's even more fatal is that the Luo family's territory implements the policy of degree, and monks and merchants who do not have degree will be directly arrested.
The middle-aged man complained in his heart about the attendant behind him, and carefully checked the situation outside. After making sure that the patrol was far away, he returned to the path with his followers.
The two of them went all the way. After a long time, I finally came to the door of a small courtyard. I saw that this small courtyard was all made of bricks and tiles. It looks quite neat and elegant. Branches sticking out through the courtyard wall. As you can imagine, the view of the beautiful courtyard inside.
After stealthily scanning the situation around the courtyard again, and after making sure that no one was following him, the middle-aged man knocked on the wooden gate of the courtyard.
Soon after, a crack opened in the wooden door, and a little child with the surname stuck his head out of the crack and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Is this Kakuma-sama's mansion?" The middle-aged man immediately said kindly.
"Exactly, are you looking for my family?" Xiao asked.
"Yes, please give this letter to Kakuma-sama. Let's just say that the old man is visiting. The middle-aged man said immediately.
"Okay, you guys wait a minute, I'll go in and report it." After the little surname took the letter, he closed the wooden door again.
At this time, Kakukuma Ishizong was enjoying morning tea in the courtyard. Tea is good tea. This tea is called "Burrow Tea", and it is a famous tea unique to the Luo family. It is specially made in the early morning by collecting fresh tea leaves that have been moistened by the dew overnight on the mountain. It is said that Yoshitaka Ouchi, who drank this tea, and Ashikaga Yoshiharu, the shogun, praised this tea.
"Your Excellency." At this time, the little surname walked into the courtyard and saluted the Kakukuma Stone Sect.
"What?" Kakukuma Shizong knew that if there was nothing going on, the little surname would definitely not come to disturb him at this time.
"My lord, there are two foot merchants who claim to be your old man outside the door. This is the letter they asked the villain to pass on to you. The little surname replied with a clear eye. After all that's said. He also respectfully delivered the letter to the Kakuma Ishizong.
"Oh?" Kakuma Shizong was stunned when he heard this. Old friend? Where did the deceased come from? Could it be? Thinking of this, Kakuma Ishizong immediately opened the letter and read it.
As you read deeper. Kakukuma's expression became cloudy. In the end, he even put down the letter and hesitated. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said to himself, "Is Yuan served?" It seems that the successor is hopeful. ”
Then there was silence in the courtyard again. Although the little surname who was kneeling on the ground was curious about the strange behavior of the head of the family, he still obediently knelt on the ground, waiting for the order of the Kakukuma Ishizong.
"Are the guests still waiting outside the door?" After a long wait, just when Xiao Xiao felt that his legs were a little numb, Kakuma Shizong's voice finally sounded again.
"Yes, my lord."
"Let them leave immediately, and tell them that there are only the retainers of the Luo family here." Kakukuma Shizong said indifferently.
The little surname immediately bowed and left. If he doesn't walk, he won't be able to walk on his legs. He didn't dare to be angry with the protagonist Kumaishizong, but he wouldn't have a good face against the two guys outside the door.
"Let's go. The head of the family didn't want to see you, and he also said that there were only retainers of the Luo family here. Xiao Xiao rubbed his knees and said coldly. It's just that when the voice passes through his undeveloped throat, the tone that was originally a little cold seems very immature, and people can't hear any anger.
Outside the door, they had been waiting nervously outside, and the two of them were stunned for a moment after getting the reply from the little surname, and then looked at each other. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, the middle-aged man immediately pulled his attendant beside him and quickly drilled into a small path next to the courtyard.
"Hey, your things ......" Seeing that the two of them didn't even want the goods they brought, Xiao Xiao immediately shouted. Although he was very indifferent to these two guys who had caused him a crime in vain, the kind little heart immediately reminded them loudly after seeing that these two guys had actually left something.
But after the middle-aged man heard the shout of the little surname, instead of stopping, he ran more happily, and in a blink of an eye, the two ran away without a trace.
"Are they gone?" When the little surname reluctantly returned to the scene in front of the Kakuma Stone Sect and prepared to report the truth to Fang Cai, the voice of the Kakuma Stone Sect rang out first.
"Yes, my lord." The little surname replied respectfully.
"Hmm." After hearing this, Kakuma Ishizong nodded. Then he quickly stood up, picked up the letter on the table, and walked directly out of the courtyard. Only the little surname left in the courtyard in amazement.
"Little surname, what's wrong with the head of the family today?" At this time, another gentle female voice sounded in the courtyard. The owner of this female voice is none other than the mother herself.
"Huh!" Hearing his mother's inquiry, the surname was immediately full of black lines. I thought to myself, what is going on with my knowledge there? Today's behavior is mysterious for both the guests and the head of the house......
While the guests from Kakukuma's Ishimune family came and went, Masarashi was reviewing the affairs of the territory in the castle tower of Kishigaku Castle. The stalls in the territory are bigger, and the affairs are naturally more. In addition, there are many affairs that are carried out by Zhengliang in combination with the knowledge of later generations, and it is really impossible without his final check. Besides, as a qualified head of the family, you must also be diligent, so that you can make all the retainers feel at ease.
Just when Masarashi had just approved a plan for the construction of the territorial academy, the little surname Honda Masanobu outside the door walked in and reported that the military advisor Kakukuma Ishizong had something important to report.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty has come to ask for sin." As soon as he walked into the castle tower, Kakuma Ishizong knelt directly on the floor and pleaded guilty.
"Strategist, why is that?" Masara, who was consulting another information on the situation of the territory, was slightly stunned when he heard the Kakuma Ishizong's plea, and raised his head to look at the Kadokuma Ishizong who was kneeling at the door of the castle tower and asked suspiciously.
Kakukuma Shizong didn't say a word, and directly held the letter high and knelt down in front of Masayo. Kakukuma Shizong knew very well in his heart that with the ability of this young family master, sooner or later he would have a way to know what happened in his mansion today, so he simply came to ask Masato directly. This is the best way to save your life.
Suspiciously, Masarashi took the letter in Kakuma's hand, and then opened it and read it. Although the contents of the letter are somewhat surprising, Masashi has remained calm throughout the day.
"Is the yuan served? It was also named Otomo Yoshitown. Shi Zong, what do you think of this young master of the Otomo family? After reading the letter, Masarashi looked at Kakuma Ishizong with a smile and asked.
"Your Excellency hasn't had contact with anyone from the Otomo family for a long time, so I'm afraid I can't give a proper comment." Kakuma replied with his head down.
"It's okay, then tell me about your previous impression of him." Masarashi still smiled.
