The Seven Realities of the Rogue

"Nagasaki, I remember going there once when I was a child."

When the fog cleared, it was time for the ship to leave the port. Qi Shi asked Sakagami, and he said that their caravan had no place to anchor at the port of Nagasaki. If they wanted to transport the goods to Nagasaki, they had to hire a horse-drawn carriage. , the journey is not long, but she still has to protect her on the way to Nagasaki.

During the time on board, Sakagami let the two girls have a good rest.

Qi Shi put down the course she was studying, and Jie Xiang had no work to do, so after boarding the boat, the two of them stayed on the deck leaning against the railing and chatted casually without entering the cabin.

"At that time, I went with my father."

Jie Xiang took a deep breath, she hadn't smelled the smell of sea water for a long time.

"Accompany your father?"

"Yes, the stay in Nagasaki was not long, only two days, but it was very interesting."

At that time, it seemed that not long after the black ship attacked, Hayato Asakura suddenly decided to go to Nagasaki. Nanami also tried to ask him why he went, but Nanami couldn't recall his answer at that time.

"Is Qishi's father okay now? Your swordsmanship is also inherited from your father?"

"No, my father has been dead for many years, and I have not visited his grave for so many years."

Qishi's parents were buried in that secluded Taoyuan place. After she and her master built a tomb for her mother, she never went back even once.

"This time, I'm going back to Nagasaki, and I'm going to visit my father along the way."

"Yuki's father has also passed away...?"

Qishi is asking nonsense.

"It was suicide. It is said that it was because of business failure and collapsed by huge debts." Yu Xiang's tone could not be said to fluctuate. When referring to the death of a relative, she seemed to be referring to a yellowing fallen leaf. It seems to have nothing to do with her.

"But I know it's because of other reasons."

Yuxiang knew that Kirigiri Jizhi was forced to death.

--------------------------

Reiko took Asakura to the port, and Kirikiri and Asakura Hayato avoided everyone else, and then they were the only two of them talking at the meeting place of Kirikiri.

"I invite you here this time, and I want to talk to you about something."

The Kirikiri family is indeed not a samurai family, at least on the surface, but they are just a wealthy businessman, how can they get such a large share of the profits in Nagasaki's business?He even has a lot of contacts with foreigners.

It is impossible to say that there is no support behind the Kirikiri family. Therefore, the person who supports their family's livelihood in Nagasaki is Hayato Asakura.

To put it another way, Kirikiri was arranged by Asakura in Nagasaki to handle problems that Asakura could not solve by himself.

"These, please look over."

Kirikiri Noriyuki took out thick materials, design drawings, and books from the dark layer of the bookcase, and placed them all in front of Hayato.

"It's only been a few days, and it's coming from the black ship?"

From the past, the Wukiri family has been pretending to be an ordinary wealthy businessman. On the surface, the author sells special seafood products, or trades light industrial products with foreigners, but in fact, the Wukiri family has been doing one thing for Asakura, which is to collect everything It is very difficult and dishonorable to provide information about guns and artillery to the Asakura family.

These things are handled by Yukiri Yuki.

He tied his head to his trouser belt to do things, and what he got in return was a little bit of progress in the artillery technology of the Asakura family. When the black ship attacked, Edo City only had twenty cannons comparable to the firepower of the black ship. But if there is no fog cutter, then it can be said that these twenty cannons would not exist.

In addition to the design drawings, there are also samples of muskets hidden in this room, each of which is a rare and precious material.

Hayato Asakura couldn't imagine what Kiriki Noriko had to do to get all of this.

"I'm sorry for you, Ji Zhi." It has to be said that the value of these things brought by Wu Qie Ji Zhi at this juncture is absolutely inestimable.

"These are all things that I will bring to you. At the same time, please let me advise you this time."

"Speak." Hayato nodded.

"You, hurry up and escape with your family." He said sincerely, "As your retainer, I have to remind you of something."

After the black ship incident, the shogunate began to erode the business of the seaport a little bit. They made it clear that they did not want any troubles at this moment. They had already started to build a system that belonged only to the shogunate, and some things needed to be rectified.

"You, after all, are not named Tokugawa...Moreover, you have too much."

Since ancient times, those who wield force have stood at the forefront.

"I'm already mentally prepared for these."

Although Hayato is young, he has stayed in this seat for a long time, and his basic sense of smell is not bad.

"I want to hand over all the technology left by the Asakura family to the shogunate."

Kirikiri Noriko never expected Hayato to say such a thing.

"Absolutely not!" Standing up.

"?"

His own reaction was too intense, Ji Zhi backed away.

"I am so sorry."

"Excuse me, but it is absolutely impossible to hand over the foundation of Asakura. If you hold these technologies in your hands, one of the Chaokura family will survive. If you lose even the firearms, then the Asakura family must It will perish! The reason why I invited you so soon after the arrival of the black ship is, on the one hand, to give these things to you, the Patriarch, and on the other hand, it is an arrogant request."

Ji Zhi knelt down.

He paused every word and articulated clearly

"Instead of waiting for destruction, it's better to rise up. My Wukiri family swears to follow in Asakura's footsteps. I will always be Asakura's shadow!"

"Please, stand up at this time!"

Asakura Hayato didn't speak, he walked out the door, and after a while, Asakura's guards came in and took away the drawings and guns, but Hayato didn't answer Jizhi's words.

This conversation was fruitless.

As a newcomer, I can't handle the plot, character creation, etc. in the article well, so some content does seem to be contemptuous of readers' IQ, but I tried my best to come up with it. I hope you don't mind. .

This poor work, I will write it well and finish it, thank you for your support.
