Swallow Back

"Is that so..." Liu Yun remembered this information.

In this world of strange power and chaos, there may really be a technique to wake up dead corpses. If it involves this, it is definitely not a good thing, and it is not so easy to deal with.

Then Liu Yun asked again: "Besides this, does that person have any other extraordinary things?"

With permission, Nagano Mae Ye answered cautiously, "No! The opponent moves very fast and is good at hidden weapons, but he has never used any strange abilities. It's just that I am not skilled enough to defeat him."

There was a bitter taste in his words.

Kinoshita Tokichiro asked his attendants to pour himself another cup of tea, and then concluded: "Ambush always fails, and it is impossible to keep the team from the front line for a long time. This time, the team led by Changkang is already all our elites, still Far from being an opponent of the 'Tsama Ninja'... Now it seems that there is no other way than to ask Master Liu Yun, who is skilled in martial arts."

Liu Yun immediately understood the meaning: "Do you mean to let me seduce the 'Anti Demon Ninja' to take action, and then deal with them?"

Kinoshita Tokichiro smiled again: "Don't talk about dealing with it, as long as you find some useful clues, I will be grateful! Take a step back and at least successfully transport the military funds from Mino... Don't joke, I will deal with the Asai clan right away. The counterattack, now that we can't get a large number of people to escort, and urgently need funds to boost morale, it's really troublesome!"

Liu Yun was a little reserved, then nodded and said, "Since you have a destiny, you should obey it. Then please leave the task of transporting army funds to me. No matter if you encounter the 'Tsuma Ninja' or not, it will be brought safely. "

"That's really grateful! You've helped me a lot! I will never treat you badly!" Kinoshita Tokichiro said happily: "That's it! It's not early today, please rest first, and arrange for Mr. Liuyun to leave tomorrow!"

Liu Yun smiled, noncommittal.The reason why he agreed so easily was, on the one hand, because he was optimistic about the development trend of the Oda family, and on the other hand, he felt that sooner or later, he would be born to explore, and it was better to follow the flow.

Whether you can receive material rewards is second.

As for the issue of risk - fighting monsters all year round is the most risky thing in itself.

Living in a troubled world, since you have the idea of ​​gaining power by force, you are doomed to miss a stable life.

Liu Yun was only curious about one question: "Why does this mysterious organization call itself 'Anti Demon Ninja'?"

Hearing this, Tokichiro Kinoshita was stunned, thought for a moment, and speculated: "Our Oda clan broke with the Takeda clan last year. Lord Shingen of the Takeda clan pretended to be 'the Lord of the Sky Terrace', and our Lord Nobunaga compared ourselves to the 'Sixth Heaven Demon King'. ' to express the court's protest, it was originally just a joke, maybe some people took it seriously, and really regarded our Oda clan as a 'demon', so they organized the 'Tianma Ninja' to come out..."

When Liu Yun looked at the other party's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying.

But analyzing the other party's words, I felt a little inaccurate.

He didn't bother much, just nodded and said, "So it is."He accepted the arrangement of Kinoshita Tokichiro and went to rest.

Mae Ye Nagayasu volunteered to lead the way, with a very humble attitude, as if he really pinned the hope of revenge.

Chapter 12 Taking on the Heavy Duty

Kinoshita Tokichiro watched Liu Yun's back disappear into view, and there was still a warm smile on his face, but his eyes gradually showed a thoughtful color.

Masayoshi Hashisuka, whose eyes flickered for a moment, suddenly asked: "Kinoshita-sama, I didn't take the matter of 'Tama Ninja' as the top issue before... Could it be that the trouble they caused has reached such a limit? Do you have a headache?"

"Huh?" Kinoshita Tokichiro turned to look at him, shook his head with a smile, and then nodded again: "It's really troublesome! But... At present, it seems that there is no way to solve it, but it will cost a lot of favor and Wealth, not necessarily worth it. Why ask this?"

"Uh...uh..." Hushika Masatsugu lowered his head and rubbed his brows, and continued to ask: "Then I just said, the attack is about to be launched, the military funds are very tight, and a batch of gold and Yongle money needs to be transported urgently..."

"That's also the truth, but—" Kinoshita Tokichiro narrowed his eyes: "It's not the whole truth, it is indeed a huge amount of hundreds of taels of gold stolen! Fortunately, I have other preparations, even if not. Fa gets support from Gifu Castle, so it won't bottom out right away."

"Sure enough, you still maintain a skeptical attitude towards Sasaki Liuyun." Masayoshi Hashisuka asked, "Then why did you entrust him with the task of transporting military funds? Such a large amount of money..."

"Gold is 200 taels, and Yongle money is only [-] guan. Is it a lot?" Tokichiro Kinoshita raised his head and asked, "For a rare talent like Sasaki Ruyun, if you can figure out whether it is credible with only this little money, it is very worthwhile." of."

"Okay..." Masayoshi Hashisuka thought for a while, and then said, "Since you know that his martial arts are extremely strong, how could you let him approach you so easily just now?In case of malicious intentions, the two of us together may not be able to control it..."

"Haha..." Kinoshita Tokichiro showed pride, took out a black jade pendant from his arms, and said proudly: "There is this treasure gifted by Mr. Nobunaga, and the two of us will definitely be able to hold him. To be honest, If it wasn't for the reaction of this treasure just now, and just listening to your description, I still have some doubts whether that Liuyun is really that powerful."

"Is that so?" After hearing this, Masayoshi Hashisuka's doubts on his face did not disappear, but grew stronger. After hesitating for a moment, he dared to ask again: "Many enemies now say that our Oda clan is a 'magic army', Saying that Nobunaga is a "Demon King" or something... Is this really just a joke? Is this treasure in your hand really that powerful? It seems a little... a little strange..."

"Little Sixth Brother!" Kinoshita Tokichiro's face suddenly sank, his tone became severe, and he even used the title from many years ago: "Don't you think that as a loyal minister of the Oda clan, you should not doubt this issue?"

"..." Masayoshi Hushika lowered his head and was silent for a long time, sighed, reached out and picked up the tea cup on the table, and changed the subject: "Kinoshita-sama, you obviously hate the taste of tea, don't you like honey water? Why do you drink it every day now? So much tea?"

"Well..." Kinoshita Tokichiro recovered his smile instantly, shook his head and pretended to say: "Since so many big people, including Mr. Nobunaga, like the tea ceremony, I want to become a big person, so I have to make myself like the tea ceremony. Not to mention. , I recently hired a young man named Ishida Sancheng. He is very capable. The tea he brews can heal wounds and soothe the nerves and strengthen the body. Even Lord Takenaka says it is the best! Do you want to try it?"

"I'll let it go... I really don't know what to drink with this bitter taste."

"Hey, that's not right. Didn't you hear what I said just now? If you want to be a big man, you have to like the tea ceremony! You were so comfortable in Kiso River back then, why did you join the Oda clan? The reason has been forgotten. ?"

"...You're right. If you want to be at ease, it's enough for me to stay in the Kiso River as a water pirate and collect the money from the boat. Why should I join the Oda clan?"

"Come on, this cup of hot and cold is just right. In fact, tea has a unique flavor after you get used to it, and there are places that are better than honey water."

"...Well, it's really painful!"

……

Because of his actions in front of Hashisuka Masataka, who taught Kazuki Suiseihei a lesson, Liu Yun was obviously regarded as a high-end talent and was respected to a considerable extent.

Where is this respect mainly reflected?

It is reflected in this—dozens of small lords have gathered to join the battle, the others are all staying in Sannomaru, at most Ninomaru, and only Liu Yun can live in the Honmaru in Hengshan City.

Although he himself does not feel that there is anything to be proud of.

They are all wooden houses that are not much different. Is there a big difference in where they are built?

Nagano Maeno arranged a spacious and translucent mansion at the entrance of the Honmaru, very close to the Imperial Palace.It can be said to be the area closest to the "center of power".

If you are doing real estate development, it must be a super hot real estate.

But Liu Yun felt that the location was not very good, and said casually, "It would be better if it were quieter."

As a result, Mae Ye Nagayasu didn't say a word and replaced it with a slightly narrower but quiet, remote, undisturbed house in the corner of Honmaru.

The original resident was a "diplomatic monk" who was responsible for helping Kinoshita Tokichiro as a broker.The monk was quite arrogant, but under the "patient persuasion" (physical) of Maeno Nagayasu, he was very "willing", and covered his face and gave up the place.

In fact, Liu Yun just said it casually, but seeing Nagano Maeno being so pretentious, he can only express his satisfaction, and he is embarrassed to speak again.

The exchange in Hengshan City is nothing more than such a condition, why bother.

Mae Ye Nagakura found two honest servants, carefully cleaned the inside and outside of the house, and then deliberately left a young maid, who carefully accompanies a smile and stays to serve.

That girl had a look of "willing to provide special services" all over her face.

The maid's appearance and figure are not outstanding, but she is young enough, probably from a well-off family, her body is full of youth, and she has hardly been eroded by years.

Just like a tender green onion that has just sprouted, a bowl of white, soft and glutinous tofu is not a precious ingredient, but it is quite tasty.

But Liu Yun only enjoyed a full meal and a bucket of hot water for washing, and did not do any other superfluous things.

After all, in an unfamiliar environment, it is better to be careful.

What's more, this little maid's appearance and figure are average after all, and the extent of triggering a man's physiological reaction is not comparable to that of Mrs. Iori...

Of course, the most important thing is that the noble character of the protagonist of the transmigrator is at work.

He rested peacefully in the secluded house for a night, and woke up naturally the next day, and opened his eyes to see that it was already bright.He got up and pushed the door to go out, only to see Nagano Maeno waiting patiently at the door. When he saw Liu Yun and went out, he hurriedly ordered his servants to wash up and serve breakfast.

After eating, Mae Ye Nagayasu stood respectfully at the side again, and asked, "Excuse me, sir, you agreed yesterday to deliver gold and attract 'Tianma Ninja' to take action. When do you plan to start it?"

Hearing this, Liu Yun thought to himself, since he entered Hengshan City, it has been less than ten hours since he entered Hengshan City. Although he has not seen any extravagant wooing, he has been enjoying meticulous and polite preferential treatment, which is considered satisfactory for the time being.

Then there is no need to linger on the business, and it will be done neatly!

In one night, Liu Yun had already thought about this task properly, so he smiled and replied, "I had a good rest last night, so I can leave today."

Before hearing this, Ye Changkang was overjoyed at first, then his expression darkened, and he said in a sullen voice, "Please, Lord Liuyun, avenge the brother who died below."

Liu Yun didn't respond to this, and he didn't take it seriously: Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield, since if you want to kill people, you must first make the consciousness of being killed, how can you indulge in personal grievances?

It seems that Nagano Maeno is too obsessed with the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, but his capacity is obviously not as good as Kinoshita and Beesuka.

But on second thought, after all, the previous deceased was a stranger, so he could be so detached.What would happen if Uncle Xinghe and Junior Brother Suifeng were killed?

Then there is nothing that cannot be understood.

……

Nagano Maeno led the way and came to the palace again, where he saw Tokichiro Kinoshita with a sharp mouth and a short stature.

This time, the other party was still as polite as yesterday. After the meeting, he ran over immediately to stop the salute, and presented a document with a smile on his face.

Liu Yun took it over and took a look. The handwriting was beautiful, the writing was neat, and there was a signature of Tokichiro Kinoshita, which was a "safety block".

This thing is the ownership of the land of Sasaki Village, which provides an endorsement.

After taking a general look, Liu Yun closed the block.

Before he could thank him, Kinoshita Tokichiro took out another document, and his expression changed from laughter to seriousness.

The second instrument is the "Letter of Compliance".

The general content is that following the order of Oda Nobunaga, with this document as evidence, go to Mino Gifu City to receive 200 taels of gold, plus [-] guanyongle coins.

The time is also marked on the back of the inscription, and it is stated that it is valid for ten days.

Liu Yun nodded, took this form of compliance in, and said calmly, "I will set off now, no matter if the 'Tianma Ren' comes or not, I will definitely send this batch of military funds back."

"Please." Kinoshita Tokichiro nodded, then paused, and added: "If it's too dangerous, please make sure to save your life first. Before Nagano was robbed, although losing the gold is considered negligence, but Fortunately, we evacuated in time and saved half of the lives, so I don't have any blame for this."

Liu Yun felt a little surprised.

After carefully feeling it, I couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false.

In the past, as a junior, I always felt that politicians were extremely hypocritical, full of high-sounding, and not a single word of truth.

But when Tokichiro Kinoshita said this, he gave the impression that he was very sincere, revealed naturally, and had no pretence.

As if seriously, the lives of subordinates are more important than money.

Thinking back, from the moment we met, Tokichiro Kinoshita did not say a single word in Mandarin, and was quite straightforward.

Standing in front of this person is a wonderful feeling.

He clearly thinks that the other party is not completely credible intellectually, but emotionally, he can't help but feel kindness in his heart.

Chapter 13 Attacked on the way

The road from Yokoyama Castle to Gifu Castle was smooth and unobstructed.

After careful observation along the way, Liu Yun could deeply feel that after walking halfway, Mino was indeed the home base of the Oda family, and the security situation was much better than that of Omi.

Occasionally, sentinels can be seen patrolling on the road. Villagers dare to go out in groups of three or five. There are even merchants who carry a basket on the road alone.

The shops that do business are no longer limited to the surroundings of temples and shrines.The service attitude and cost-effectiveness of the hostel and wine house are much stronger than that of Omi.

When I arrived at Gifu Castle in Mino, I still didn't encounter any problems.

Regardless of whether it was the head of the gatekeeper, or the city's adherents, when they saw the documents presented by Liu Yun, they were all released immediately, without showing the slightest suspicion or judgment, nor did they appear to be taking the opportunity to ask for bribes after taking the card.

This is a bit of a concern. Can any fresh face go through the process smoothly with the corresponding documents?

Should it be said that the Oda clan is efficient enough, or not vigilant enough?

Maybe it's because they have some special way of distinguishing authenticity, so they're not afraid of being impersonated.
