Chapter 1127: The Ouchi Family and the Tao Family
"How do I feel like I've seen this thing in some indescribable movie?"
Li Hanxing touched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "But I have really heard of a cloak with this effect before, it is said that this cloak is also related to the author of the Book of Necrons, that is, he didn't know where he found a strange fur, and then made a cloak that can make the wearer lose his sense of existence through a special process, but the effect of this cloak is not so mysterious, only in places where there are many people can reflect the obvious effect." β
"A crowded place? What is this? When I'm crowded, as long as I'm not looking for someone, I hardly care what people look like. Yin En asked with some confusion: "But if this can really be related to the author of the Book of Necrons, then I still believe that this cloak can indeed reduce the wearer's sense of existence, and the material of this cloak can also be determined to be a ghoul." β
Li Hanxing shrugged his shoulders and continued: "Although we generally don't pay special attention to a stranger when there are many people, if there is only one person in the crowd wearing an out-of-season cloak, then this person will still be very conspicuous, but it turns out that only one or two people out of a hundred people will notice this cloak man, and as there are fewer and fewer people around, more and more people will notice this cloak man; Of course, I can't guarantee that this story is true, after all, the name of the Necronomicon is quite loud, so many strange legends have been placed on Al-Hassard's head. β
Zhang Jingxu smiled, shook his head and said: "Let's go back to the topic, this cloak is actually the deposit prepared by Shimazu Hiromichi, and he will pay us another payment after the matter is completed, and Shimazu Nakano should also give us something, so from the bright side, we are not accompanied, so should we agree to Shimazu Hiromichi?" β
As soon as Zhang Jingxu said this, the tent was instantly silent, because everyone present was a little unsure of what Shimazu Hiroshi wanted to do.
However, there is one thing that Liu Xing and others can agree on, that is, this matter should not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
"If Shimazu Kiyomichi is not in a hurry to ask us to reply, then we should wait until the things on Nagoya's side are done, and then wait until we return to Osaka to make a decision, or let's go meet Shimazu Nakano first?" Liu Xing said seriously: "No matter what, we must first determine one point, that is, whether the relationship between Shimazu Nakano and Shimazu Hiromichi has really fallen to the freezing point. β
"Then let's take a steady hand first, now Shimazu Jomichi didn't let us give him an answer immediately, just said that we can call Shimazu Hiromichi when we think about it." Yin Eun spoke.
As a result, Liu Xing and others unanimously decided not to reply to Shimazu Hiromichi for the time being.
Then, Yoon Eun talked about the current situation in Nagoya.
After the secret game last night, the public faction has completely withdrawn from the Nagoya city, and there are even eyes of the samurai faction claiming that the members of the public faction have begun to return to their respective homes.
In this regard, Momoda believes that the members of the public faction are most likely setting off smoke bombs, because they can't just give up Nagoya, a battleground, even if they do get the little hammer.
After all, the public faction didn't lose too much manpower last night, so there was no need for them to retreat at all.
However, Momoda Shengren did not let go of this opportunity, he arranged for his subordinates to take over the territory of the public faction at the first time, and also sent more eyeliners to monitor the dynamics of the public faction.
Therefore, this is also the main reason why Liu Xing and the others can sleep so comfortably, because an extraordinary meeting scheduled to be held this morning was directly canceled.
"So what are our next tasks?"
Liu Xing took the buffet he had just picked up and said, "Baitian Shengren should have let go of his prejudice against us, right?" β
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and then said helplessly: "That's right, Baitian Shengren has now regarded us as his own people, but his old friends don't think so, especially the current situation is very favorable to us, so they don't want us to stand up and take credit, so Baitian Shengren also specially sent someone to apologize to us." β
Liu Xing sighed, feeling that this was also expected, because no matter whether the public faction was preparing any conspiracy or not, it was already an established fact that they withdrew from the Nagoya city, so now there was only one choice in front of the samurai faction, and that was to completely bring the Nagoya city under their control.
You don't need to ask Liu Xing to know that reinforcements from Osaka are already on the way.
So, now is the time to take the credit, and who wants to share the benefits they get?
However, those NPCs may not know that this credit is not important to their own group, because the contribution of these credits is too small.
"By the way, although this morning's conference was pigeoned, there should be a make-up tonight, because the reinforcements from Osaka are already on the way, and if nothing else, they can be in place this afternoon, but I got a good or bad news from Sawada Yayin, that is, Shimazu Nakano arranged his other nephew, Shimazu Nagano, as the nominal person in charge of the reinforcements, and this Shimazu Nagano seems to have a very poor relationship with Shimazu Jomichi, and he used to fight because of some trivial things." Yin En shook his head and said.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, and said with some doubts: "Shimazu Nakano should know that Shimazu Jingdao is in Nagoya, right?" Then why did he arrange for Shimazu Nagano to come to Nagoya again, could it be that his idea was to let Shimazu Nagano and Shimazu Jomichi have a conflict, and then he would take the opportunity to attack Shimazu Hiromichi? But this kind of porcelain touching behavior is too obvious, isn't Shimazu Nakano worried that his reputation will be damaged because of this? β
If Shimazu Nagano clashed with Shimazu Kimichi at tonight's convention, then it would be Shimazu Nakano who would be the most humiliating, because a discerning person would know at a glance that all this was arranged by Shimazu Nakano.
"I don't think Shimazu Nakano should have planned to let Shimazu Nagano come to Nagoya to touch porcelain, but had to send Shimazu Nagano for another reason, such as Shimazu Nagano has acquaintances here in Nagoya? Or should Shimazu Nagano come and reconcile with Shimazu Kinomichi as a way to show goodwill to Shimazu Hiromichi? Zhang Wenbing touched his chin and said.
Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "It seems that we can only wait until tonight to see Maha, but this is also a good thing for us, we can take this opportunity to observe the respective attitudes of Shimazu Nakano and Shimazu Hiromichi, after all, Shimazu Nagano and Shimazu Kiyomichi both know that each other is in Nagoya, and they will definitely ask Shimazu Hiromichi and Shimazu Nakano for their opinions before acting." β
Soon, an afternoon passed, and Liu Xing and the others did not volunteer to leave the underground base to do things, but stayed in their tents to play poker.
As a result, at six o'clock in the evening, an unexpected guest came to the tent - Lao Wu.
Lao Wu carried a lacquer box that was almost half a meter high, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't have dinner yet, right?" So why don't you come and try my craft? β
Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the smiling man still came to the door with a "gift", so Liu Xing, who came out to greet the guest, still let the fifth child in after hesitating for a moment.
As for Alice and the others in the tent, they were also taken aback by the situation of Lao Wu, because no one thought that this underground base would provide takeaway services.
"I'm Masatake Ouchi from the Ouchi family, you can also call me the fifth child directly, I'm glad to be able to meet you."
Looking at the sincere face of the fifth child, Alice and the others also reported their home one by one, which can be regarded as knowing the fifth child.
And in the process, Lao Wu opened the lacquer box and brought out all kinds of food, and then said: "This is a little bit of my care, I hope you can like it." β
Liu Xing, who was standing beside the fifth child, thought about it, stood up and said, "That fifth child, by the way, we can be regarded as the first time we meet you, right?" Can you tell us why you're doing this? After all, it's useless. β
Lao Wu didn't expect Liu Xing to get straight to the point, so after a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind and said: "The thing is actually like this, I want to represent the Ouchi family, to be precise, it should be the Ouchi family's descendants and your Sawada family to make a deal." β
Hearing that Lao Wu said that he wanted to do business, Liu Xing and the others were stunned, because Liu Xing and the others did not expect that in just half a day, two groups of people would come to them to do business.
But then again, Liu Xing happened to take the time to check the situation of the Ouchi family when he was playing cards in the afternoon, and found that the situation of the Ouchi family was quite interesting.
First of all, the Ouchi family claimed to be the descendants of the Baekje king, which made the Ouchi family the most special daimyo family in the island country, but the rise and fall of the Ouchi family came very quickly, especially in the end, it almost disappeared from history.
Therefore, today's Ouchi family can no longer be described as a family, because the current Ouchi family is a very ordinary family, although there are so many family businesses, but the annual profit is enough to maintain the family's expenses.
What's more, the Ouchi family has not produced a single high-achieving student in recent years, so its influence is close to zero, and even the locals of the island country may not know that the Ouchi family still exists.
Therefore, Liu Xing is now very curious about the fifth child, he represents the Ouchi family... Wait, the fifth brother only represents the descendants of the Ouchi family?
What about the Ouchi family's lineage?
Liu Xing thought about it carefully, and then remembered that the Ouchi family's lineage was the Tao family.
The Tao family and the Ouchi family are from the same origin, and they have always served as the "guards" of the Ouchi family, and after the Ouchi family became the daimyo family, the army of the Ouchi family was basically composed of the main members of the Tao family as generals.
However, during the Warring States Period, because the head of the Ouchi family was obsessed with pleasure, Tao Jingxian, the head of the Tao family, decided to rebel, and finally succeeded in solving the head of the Ouchi family, but it didn't take long for Tao Jingxian to commit suicide because of defeat when fighting the Maori family, and since then the Ouchi family and the Tao family have withdrawn from the stage of history.
From a certain point of view, Tao Jingxian not only betrayed his lord, but also betrayed his own family master, and the most important thing is that he failed to lead the Tao family and the Ouchi family to become better, and even put the Tao family and the Ouchi family on a road of no return.
Therefore, if the Tao family still exists today, then they should have drawn a line with the Ouchi family a long time ago.
Wait a minute, could it be that the transaction that Lao Wu is going to make with his group is related to the Tao family?
"Here's the thing, I believe you should all know the contradictions between the Tao family and our Ouchi family, although over the years our Ouchi family and their Tao family can be said to be distinct, but there will still be some conflicts between the two sides, because our Ouchi family and their Tao family are both from the Duoduoliang family, so we occasionally encounter each other between the two families; Originally, everyone was noisy, and everything would be fine as long as they didn't do anything, but after I joined the samurai faction, I heard that the new head of their Tao family actually took refuge in the Maori family, isn't this just recognizing the thief as his father? β
"Because of this, the Tao family can be regarded as losing the last face, so the Tao family has been constantly provoking us recently, wanting us to admit that the Tao family and the Ouchi family are equal, not the difference between the concubines; Although so many years have passed, our Ouchi family has long been free to care about the difference between the concubines, but this is also the last bit of dignity of our Ouchi family, so I want to find a reliable family to support our Ouchi family, so that we don't have to look at the Tao family's smug faces. β
Looking at the sincere old five, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a while... Now that your Da Nei family and Tao family have become ordinary people, what do you care about those false names? This will not restore you to your former aura.
However, Liu Xing also found one thing very interesting, that is, the Tao family had never left the Ouchi family.
Could it be that even the current Tao family and the Ouchi family want to keep the last hole cards like the Oda family?
When Liu Xing was still thinking nonsense, Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth and said: "Our Sawada family is indeed capable of being the backer of your Ouchi family, but our Sawada family is not short of money, so I hope that you can give us a satisfactory condition." β
As we all know, Party A's "satisfaction" is the same as SchrΓΆdinger's cat, until the last moment, you never know whether the conditions you give can satisfy Party A.
Therefore, the reason why Zhang Jingxu said this is to see what kind of hole cards the Ouchi family still has hidden in this long time ago.
Anyway, I won't suffer a loss if I listen to it, so I will treat it as the money that my party gave to the fifth child for this meal.
