Swallow Back

Secondly, two people are responsible for carrying things, including necessary baggage such as dry food, water bags, gauze, and wound medicine, as well as cloth bags for the head and loot.

Liu Yun's selection criteria for these people is that if they know the way and their health is fine, that's fine.

Even Eguchi Sukezaemon felt that it was a bit shameful to go out with so many people, but Liu Yun had already made up his mind, and he didn't dare to question it, he just sighed.

Mrs. Iori went out to see each other with a smile, and said to the servants and villagers who were watching the excitement, "Although Liuyun has only a few followers, his force alone can defeat thousands of people, so there is no need to worry."

She is quite prestigious in the field, and the audience believed her words as soon as they came out.

Liu Yun heard the words and said with a smile: "Yes, if someone questions you later, just answer like this!"

The ability was half-joking, but Qingtianfang listened and nodded again and again.

Today's Sasaki family's army is just such a samurai, five Ashikari.

As for Liu Yun himself, with the assistance of Iori and other servants, he put on the large black armor in the warehouse and barely fit.After riding the only remaining riding horse in the village, wearing a scorpion as a cage, and tying a sword around his waist, he became a heroic warrior.

In fact, the large armor is cumbersome in shape, and its defensive power is not particularly outstanding. It is a relatively backward armor, which has gradually been replaced by the current one.But the Sasaki family is in a difficult time now, and they have no money to buy new products. They can only clean up the things that their ancestors used and continue to use them.

Liu Yun doesn't care, he just thinks he is playing role-playing, and the soul of the second in his heart is quite satisfied.

As for performance, there is no hope at all.

It doesn't matter whether the defense is strong or not, anyway, most of them will not be cut by others.Cumbersomeness is only for ordinary people, and martial arts skills can be easily overcome.

It's a bit difficult to ride a horse, and I have no experience in my two lifetimes.

Of course, I'm embarrassed to say it, just relying on superb body control to maintain the balance on the saddle, it can still be handled at slow speeds.

The little monk Suifeng muttered, "I don't think I have seen my brother riding a horse."

But no one cared.

Just now Mrs. Iori said that Liu Yun's "force can defeat thousands of people", and everyone believed it.

Since the force can be against thousands of people, so powerful, how could it not be possible to ride a horse?

That's it, with Mrs. Iori smiling and beckoning to say goodbye, she embarked on her first journey to lead troops into battle.

The road to Yokoyama Castle is about 140 towns (about 18 kilometers), and it takes two hours to walk.

Along the banks of the Nagase River, it is a fairly wide road.

But along the way, hardly anyone else was seen walking.

I only encountered two caravans one after another, all of them with a lot of intentional sticks (bodyguards), crowded in front and back, slowly advancing around a few carriages, and the formation was like a military brigade.

They are also very vigilant when they meet, and do not say hello to people.

There were hardly any vendors on the roadside.The only place that is slightly popular is a shrine that believes in the Pure Land sect. (Generally people say that they are always referring to them)

There are a large number of monks and soldiers sitting there, and they are built as strong as a fortress, and they can keep their doors behind at any time.As a result, a lot of businessmen gathered and opened various shops, including business places such as lodgings, wine houses, and gambling halls.

Liu Yun went in to rest for a while, and found that the price was very expensive and the service attitude was very general.In the face of Liu Yun, the samurai wearing armor, a sword, and an entourage, it was just a lazy and perfunctory expression.Probably occupies a monopoly position and has a backstage, so I don't worry about the lack of passenger flow.

It can be seen that the border of Omiang is indeed suffering from war, and people's livelihood has been withered.

In the future, the Oda family pacified Kinki, and it might get better after a long time.

Taking advantage of the rest time, Liu Yun sent five peasants and soldiers to fetch water and feed the horses, and found Qingtianfang, whose pseudonym was "A Qing", and chatted with him.

Yesterday, I saw that Qingtian Fang was clumsy in tongues, and Heitian Fang was able to speak well, so he deliberately only brought the former and left the latter to facilitate inquiries.

Sure enough, Qingtianfang had no scheming, and after a little inducement, he honestly explained the situation over the years.

It turned out that Qingtianfang and Heitianfang were both monsters evolved and born in the monastery. They were born in human form and their appearance was no different from ordinary people.The former has the ability of "hard power", which can partially harden the skin, while the latter is good at hiding and hidden weapons.

It's just that the "yokai senior" who instructed them to act behind the scenes - that is, Iori's grandfather, never dared to reveal it.

After Liu Yun listened to it, he felt that there was nothing else to hide, and the guard in his heart had largely disappeared, and he only had a heart for the person behind the scenes.Then he smiled and reassured: "It's a fate to know each other. In the future, you will be regarded as my subordinate, protect Mrs. Iori as a samurai, and do things with all your heart, and you will be rewarded."

Qingtianfang scratched the back of his head when he heard the words, and said naively: "Actually, after all these years, I have long regarded myself as a member of the Sasaki family. When I encountered military disasters before, I couldn't help but take action a few times. Hei said that if Madam is not in danger, we can't show up, otherwise our identity will be exposed and there will be trouble..."

Liu Yun shook his head and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if your identity is seen through. It's not uncommon for monsters to go to the military family, right?"

Qingtianfang was completely unaware of the language trap, and told the truth without any scheming: "Lord Liuyun is right. But a few friends I know are only temporary generals at Daimyo, and I haven't heard of a few. An example of becoming an official retainer..."

Liu Yun's expression remained unchanged and nodded, pretending that he knew all about it, but he actually knew a little more about monsters.

……

This Qingtianfang does seem to be a very simple person, and after talking softly, it seems that he really treats Liuyun as a lord.

After resting for a quarter of an hour and eating some simple food, the group spent 230 Wen.

An entourage who had traveled far complained that 230 Wen was enough for a dozen people to have a proper meal in Kyoto.

However, Liu Yun didn't care about these subsections.

The social formation is like this, and it has its own deep-seated reasons, which cannot be easily changed.

Continue on the road.

Both sides of the road were still deserted and deserted, and there were no people, but there were several ruins of villages that were suspected to have been looted and burned, which made people feel a little embarrassed.

In general, convenient transportation brings positive feedback.But in times of chaos, it may be most likely to encounter military disasters near the road, but it is dangerous.

However, in a place like Ou where he lived before, it was a remote and remote area, and monsters were often seen, and it was difficult for ordinary people to live.

At the end of the afternoon, Liu Yun looked up and saw a fortress between the mountains and rivers that was stuck between the north and the south. The papaya-patterned flag of the Oda family was flying above, and the thousand-percent gourd-horse seal of Tokichiro Kinoshita was faintly visible. He knew that the destination was here it is.

At this moment, Liu Yun suddenly heard a slight hoof sound.

After a while, a man on a horse slowly appeared from the corner.The man was not wearing armor and holding a gun, only wearing a cloth robe and a coward, so there should be no malicious intent.

Taking two steps closer, I saw that the man on horseback was a yellow-faced warrior with a sullen expression.

The yellow-faced warrior apparently also saw Liu Yun and his party. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and asked, "Who are you?"

Liu Yun bowed his body and said, "Under Sasaki Liuyun, I was ordered to come to Hengshan City to participate in the battle."

Hearing this, the yellow-faced warrior's expression softened a little, bowed his head and bowed back and said, "My lord, Nagano Mae, is a vassal of Lord Kinoshita, the city lord of Hengshan City, and is patrolling nearby."

The name Mae Ye Changkang made Liu Yun a little impressed, but not too deep.I vaguely remember that in the game of Shame, his attributes were relatively mediocre, and he was a second- or third-rate character.I didn't recall more information for a while, so I didn't think about it.

I just feel that this guy is alone, with a sullen expression, saying that he is "on inspection", but there must be some unknown reason in fact.

When meeting for the first time, no matter what special circumstances they had, Liu Yun was too lazy to ask questions, and walked with him silently.

In a blink of an eye, we will reach Hengshan Castle.

Approaching the city gate, when he could already see the patrolling guards at the gate, the yellow-faced warrior waved his uninjured right arm to say hello. When the guards saw him, they all trotted over and bent over to call him "Master Mae Ye", respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yun was about to declare his name and enter the city, when the yellow-faced warrior suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "I have a little impression of the Sasaki family, I remember that the territory is a pretty big village, and it should be possible to mobilize at least five or sixty people! Why are there so many here?"

Liu Yun was not surprised, and answered bluntly, "It's because of the recent disasters, and people's livelihood is difficult."

Hearing this, the yellow-faced warrior frowned unhappily: "You young man is really ignorant! It is precisely because of the damage that you should gather a few more troops and strive for meritorious service to make up for it! Only bring six followers to join the battle. ...It's a joke, what's the use of such a person? Kinoshita-sama asked the nearby samurai to gather in Hengshan Castle, not to drink and feast, but to fight the Asai clan!"

Liu Yun didn't care, and had no intention of arguing with the other party.

On the other hand, Qingtianfang firmly remembered what he said when he set off in the morning, and immediately took a big step and raised his head: "Although there are not many soldiers in the Sasaki family, Lord Liuyun is highly skilled in martial arts and can fight against thousands of people, enough to join the battle!"

Chapter 10 Weijun Can Enemy Mannin

As soon as these words came out, the yellow-faced warrior was stunned for a moment, then showed disdain on his face, and sneered: "Young people don't know how high the sky is, so they say that one person can fight a hundred? How dare you brag like this? You must know that this is Hengshan Castle, the residence of Lord Kinoshita, not a rural place where you can talk freely!"

Qingtianfang said confidently: "This is the truth, not a bragging. Let alone Kinoshita-sama, even in front of Oda-sama, even in front of General Ashikaga, there is nothing to dare to say."

"Ha!" The yellow-faced warrior became annoyed, and his tone became more and more bad: "You big man, do you think it is a fun thing? The enemy is very powerful, even a battle-hardened warrior can die at any time! A few days ago I I brought a dozen good brothers to deliver supplies from Owari. Last night, I was attacked by the enemy's ninjas. Not only did I lose things, but I barely escaped with six dead and eight injured! This kind of thing is not open mouth to talk about That's it!"

After hearing this, I knew the reason for this guy's sullen expression just now.

This yellow-faced warrior, Nagano Maeno, probably didn't specifically want to trouble the Sasaki family, but because he was under too much pressure, was in a bad mood, and urgently needed to vent, so he was so easily angered.

Qingtianfang's mind was simple, he didn't think much about it, he was reprimanded for no reason, and he slammed his neck back: "You... You are called Lord Qianye? Why do you say that our family's Lord Liuyun has no power to win? What about the martial arts of Hundred People?"

The yellow-faced warrior Nagano Maeno snorted and stretched out his finger: "Those who know the way, just look at the posture of this horseback riding, you will know that it is very unfamiliar! Not to mention the short hair that has just grown on the top of the head, it is obviously not vulgar. How long has he been a monk. How can he look like a samurai all over his body? If you want to say that you have learned some wonderful spells in the temple, that's all, bragging about martial arts, isn't it nonsense?"

Qingtianfang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's true that most monks only practice Buddhist scriptures and don't practice martial arts very much, but my family, Lord Liuyun, is an exception. You haven't seen it with your own eyes. If you see it once, you will definitely take back what you just said."

For some reason, these words made Mae Ye Nagakura angry, widened his eyes, sneered, and said with disdain: "Wow! Let's try it out, let me see how it goes? If you win, I will not only take back what I just said, but also officially Apologize! But if I can't stand it under my hands... Hehe, the people I hate the most are people who only brag!"

The guards of Hengshan City didn't seem to be very surprised when they saw this situation, and they didn't step forward to dissuade them, but immediately separated a person and ran into the city.Probably to find someone who can handle the matter.Others stood far away and dared not approach.

Qingtianfang was very surprised to see this, wondering why the other party was angry.

Although he is a rough man (or rough monster) with well-developed limbs, his temper is not very grumpy.

But it may be that Nagano Maeno is in a state of restlessness, burning like dry wood.

Qingtianfang turned around and rubbed the back of his head innocently, and said, "Lord Liuyun, did I say something wrong and cause trouble, making this former lord so angry..."

Liu Yun was still calm and unaffected. He shook his head and said, "No wonder you. It's such a coincidence that we met today, and I'm afraid that no matter what we say, we will inevitably argue. Let's have a try!"

So he got off his horse and got ready to do it.

Qingtianfang looked ashamed, patted his chest, and said: "Since I angered this former adult, let us deal with it!"

Liu Yun looked at both sides, estimated the strength comparison, and thought that this is not bad, so he nodded calmly: "Then let's try it! Be careful not to cause serious injuries."

Qingtianfang said, "Yes!", took off his weapon and put it aside, took a few steps, and stood in front of the yellow-faced warrior: "Before you challenge Master Liuyun, try it with me!"

Maeno Nagayasu was originally quite angry, but seeing Qingtianfang tall and strong, with a ferocious face, he calmed down a little, looked up and down and asked, "Are you a retainer of the Sasaki family? If you are a samurai, why don't you wear armor? "

Qingtianfang replied very honestly: "My name is A Qing, I used to be a servant of the Sasaki family, and I was just promoted to a samurai, so I haven't had time to build a fitting armor."

This is obviously the truth, but Nagano Maeno heard it, but he just thought it was a mockery, his face changed suddenly, his anger was heavy, and he frowned: "The person who dares to compete with me actually claims to be a handyman? Are you saying this on purpose to humiliate me? ?"

Qingtianfang shook his head frankly: "No lie, I am indeed a handyman."

"Whether it is or not, since you dare to stand up, let's fight first!" Maeno Nagayasu said, and asked, "What weapon do you use?"

Qingtianfang shook his head: "I've always been used to fighting with bare hands, and I can't use any weapons, and just now, Lord Liuyun said that you can't hurt people..."

Seeing this, Changkang Mae Ye laughed angrily: "It seems that I, Changkang Mae Ye, have been completely underestimated today! Well, let's try it with you empty-handed!"

Then Mae Ye Nagakura also threw his waist, gave a low drink, a red glow flashed across his sallow face, and he charged aggressively.

Qingtianfang's expression remained unchanged, he bent down to gather strength, and raised his fists as large as sand bowls to meet him.

At first glance, the two of them are both healthy, fat, and powerful figures.Qianye Changkang is more symmetrical and flexible, moving like a hungry tiger rushing towards food, Qingtianfang is taller and heavy, just like a giant bear in power.

The head-to-head confrontation between the beasts is unavoidable.

The two collided head-on, making a crisp "bang bang" sound.

Double punch to double punch, hit almost simultaneously.
