When the two met, they were as exaggerated as they were going to sing a big river drama. Noriko Sato, no, according to her self-proclaimed, her real name should be Noriko Ashina or Noriko Ashina.

"Second Lieutenant Saemon, you're welcome. The person who came kindly helped Noriko Reeda up.

"I'm terrified. This move made Noriko Reeda flattered. Because in her impression, because of this noble Uesugi clan under the pseudonym Murakami, even when a person who is more remarkable than herself salutes him, people just nod their heads and respond in vain, or even turn a blind eye to it. Where will you lean down and reach out?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and there must be something to ask for in courtesy. But what do the nobles of the public family want from themselves? It's impossible, anyway, Noriko Ashina doesn't believe that people are looking at themselves. Although she is young and beautiful, she is not a country and a city, and the gap between the two is too big in terms of bloodline and identity.

That's right, Ashina will be Mamoru Tsumori, which says that the ancestor is also the lord of a country and a city, but compared to the present, it is even like a cloud and mud, whether it is the present or the past.

Now this Mr. Murakami is one of the five fingers of the Hand Association, and none of the yakuza organizations in the world, especially the Japanese side, are not frightened. However, although I run a small and dynamic organization, I am actually decent, and how can I make people look at it differently when an organization of this size goes to sea in Japan?

And if you talk about the past, there is no way to compare, Mr. Murakami's real name is Uesugi Shigebo. The Uesugi clan came from the Fujiwara clan, one of the four major families, and was also one of the public families, and its first governor was Uesugi Shigebo, who was a very noble figure during the Kamakura shogunate.

Later, the Uesugi clan branched out and married the shoguns of the Ashikaga shogunate, and one of them served as the governor of the Kanto region, ruling the ten daimyo of the Kanto region. Although it declined later, he also adopted the righteous daughter of Nagao Keitora, who was later famous as Uesugi Kenshin.

But what about himself? His ancestors were just a small daimyo of Okulu, and the name of Ashina was known to the world at that time, and he could only climb randomly in terms of bloodline, and even Aizu Mamoru's position has always been self-proclaimed, and the shogunate has never responded positively.

With such a background, in the eyes of Lord Uesugi Shigebo, I'm afraid it's similar to a pariah. How can a public family that values bloodline look at themselves?

It is said that this is thanks to his ancestors, who enshrined a precious secret. Lord Uesugi Shigebo thought of this old feeling, and secretly took a look, and when he was in charge of the invasion of the Inner Mansion that year, the Reed family should be extinct.

"Uesugi-sama, please use tea. ”

"Just call me Murakami, and I'll be disrespectful to appreciate the tea ceremony of the famous reed. ”

It seems that people with status are not willing to speak directly. Two Japanese, when they meet, they do the same thing as singing a river opera, so they naturally have to drink tea before getting down to business.

But looking at their appearance, they also know that the so-called tea drinking is not as simple as taking water and raising your neck to drink, it must be to play the so-called tea ceremony. And looking at the posture of Noriko Reed, it is still the same as before Sen no Rikyu's deletion, which means that after this sentence of please use tea, you have to stare at least and wait for almost an hour before you can really drink the first sip of tea.

Murakami sits on the ground, his legs crossed, his feet facing each other, and his left and right knees spread apart, a posture that is said to reflect the majesty of the public family. But Murakami thinks that there is no prestige or not, but even with the old man's cultivation today, sitting like this feels similar to being tortured.

Please, can't you keep up with the times? Do I really look like such a polite person? If so, I'll have to shave off my teeth and eyebrows before this meeting! I really haven't sat like this in at least a hundred years, uh... My thighs, where the tendons are about to break...

"Is there anything wrong?Lord Murakami?" Noriko Ashina squatted there, filtered the water that had just been pumped out of the well, poured it into the clay pot, and burned it on the small stove made of charcoal, and just as he was about to clean the tea set, he saw that Murakami's expression was a little abnormal, so he asked nervously.

Murakami awkwardly took out a bat fan, covering the position below the bridge of his nose on his face, and said in a tone of voice, "It's nothing... The water is good, but the tea set and tea leaves still use mine. ”

Now I can only say this, I can't say who is a model of etiquette, the first generation of noble Uesugi governors, because of a long lack of practice, happy to sit on the ground for less than ten minutes, I feel that the tendons in my thighs are about to break, right?

"The little woman was not well prepared, and she hoped for forgiveness. "Noriko Reeda leaned down and bowed, it may be nothing now, but tea tasting was a very serious matter in the past, who drank more and drank less, what was wrong with the posture of giving tea, those stunned samurai stood up and pulled out a knife to either stab others or stab themselves.

Now the tea leaves and tea sets I prepared are not worthy of the other party's identity, this is a very serious problem, but Noriko Reeda is also helpless, where can I go to the whole set of tea sets that match you? I can't sell myself just to have a cup of tea with you, right?!

"Don't mind. Murakami tapped on his phone with a bat fan, and at this time, a black-clad ninja in a hand descended from the sky, carefully holding a wooden box.

But the ninja just wanted to send things in, but he saw Murakami bounce up from the ground all of a sudden, and he walked to the door and took the box, and the ninja who got it was inexplicable.

Murakami walked back with the box in his hand, and he didn't sit down for a long time. Noriko Ashina guessed that there must be a particularly expensive tea set in it, and Murakami-sama would show such a look.

After a long time, Murakami gritted his teeth and finally sat down, slowly opened the box, and took out a small tea caddy from it, which looked black and nothing special. But when Noriko Reeda saw it, she immediately exclaimed, "Little eggplant?!, is this the legendary tea pot that can be built after being sold, little eggplant!"

"Hmm. Murakami nodded. Then he took out a set of tea sets from the box, and this set of tea sets looked... Some are ugly, like a crawling spider.

"This thing..."Noriko Reeda gasped, "Could it be the famous tea set that Nobunaga wanted to know but couldn't get back then, Ping Spider?!"

"It is rumored that Matsunaga showed peace spiders together **, but I didn't expect it to fall into your hands, and I think it is, and only such a tea set can match your identity. ”

But Noriko Ashina was surprised, but her mind was even more complicated. The little eggplant of the flat spider, as the identity of the other party, is naturally qualified to enjoy such a tea set, but how can he use such a tea set to drink with him?

The tea leaves and tea utensils were taken out, and the next thing was, in short, scrub oh oh, there is really nothing to elaborate on, if you talk about every step, it will not be a tea ceremony but a flood accompanied by blades!

In short, the two of them waited impatiently for an hour before finally picking up the small teacup, which was not much bigger than the ninth middle school, and took a sip gently.

Noriko Ashina sat respectfully on the side, and Murakami finally said the meaning of this trip, "Noriko Ashina Aizu Shouko." ”

"Hi. ”

"I am here to inform you that the affiliation between you and me will be lifted, and the Reed family will no longer have to serve me in the future. ”

"Hey, Nani?!" Noriko Ashina's expression changed from surprise to horror. There is no boss on the head, which seems to be beautiful, but this also means that there is no boss to cover it! It's like working in a company, usually dissatisfied with the company and the boss, but people fired you to try it, can this be cool?

"Why is this so?" Noriko Reed leaned forward and asked eagerly, "Our Reed family has always upheld the loyalty of the martial arts, and even when the Inner Mansion was in turmoil, we didn't dare to have the slightest thought of trespassing, why did the public family suddenly abandon us today." ”

"Of course I know that. Murakami nodded heavily. Of course, you don't have the idea of encroachment, because since the founding of your family, you have either been beaten by Hojo or Ida, and then by Tokugawa, and you have never risen up at all, so what can you encroach on?

"But it wasn't a decision I made alone. Murakami said lightly, "It's the result of our hand and five fingers after discussion." ”

"How come?" Noriko Ashina looked a little lost, she couldn't figure out what she had done, and she actually made all five fingers feel disgusted, and made the decision to expel herself.

"You don't need to think about it. Murakami picked up the teacup, blew the mist on it, took a sip, and said, "Someone has taken a fancy to you, and let you go by name, we have to do this." ”

"Who is it?S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Noriko Ashina looked up and asked, S.H.I.E.L.D. had recruited her many times, but she had rejected them all by herself, so they hadn't given up yet, but if it were them, the Hand would indeed be no match for them, and it would be impossible for them to be enemies of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their own sake.

"Not S.H.I.E.L.D. Murakami put down the teacup, took out a black business card from his bosom, put it on the table and pushed it to Noriko Ashina.

"Black Chapter?" Noriko Ashina picked up the business card and looked at it carefully, and asked suspiciously, "It seems that they have only been established for less than a year, and they can threaten the Hand Clan." ”

"They can do more than just threaten. Murakami sneered and shook his head, "But it's also a good thing for you, their resources, their power, and their abilities are beyond our imagination." ”

"After you join, maybe you will be able to fulfill your family's long-cherished wish, and it is also the long-cherished wish of our Hand. ”

"Our family's long-cherished wish... Ichiro-sama... Can they do that. ”

The purpose of the Hand is to serve life itself, and to put it bluntly, it means immortality. They practiced their skills with five fingers in the Kunlun Secret Realm, obtained life force from the divine dragon and gained immortality, and even experienced the secret method of resurrection that brought people back from the dead.

But these come at a cost, and the resources needed can only be obtained from the dragon. And after they were expelled from Kunlun, they could no longer have access to anything, and the resources brought out of Kunlun at that time were getting less and less.

However, an interesting thing happened, one day Shenlong didn't know what the reason was, and he was seriously injured. I found a place where the aura gathered to recuperate, and that place was near the country of Ashina, Japan, and the divine dragon was called the Sakura Dragon.

In order to recover from his injuries, Sakura Ryu exudes a power called Ryuyin. Those who are possessed by Long Yin will gain immortality, and even if they are seriously injured by certain death, they can be resurrected in a very short period of time, at the cost of absorbing the vitality of the people around them.

Sakura Dragon relied on the killing of the person possessed by the dragon Yin to absorb life and heal his wounds. Therefore, Long Yin is not a blessing but a curse, and most of these people will lose their nature and usher in the end of the Shura Dao.

But the Hand Guild didn't care about this, they were ecstatic after discovering the existence of Long Yin, the reason why Wei Ming was able to steal the country back then was to offer their Wei Ming's many years of research on the power of Long Yin, and got the help of the Hand Association. Even the later guardians of their family endured, and the eagles were all cultivated with the help of the Hand Clan.

However, the Reed family was not able to study Long Yin thoroughly until the day of his defeat, and the same was true of the Hand Association, and Sakura Long also left after healing, completely missing. There is no way to carry out the research.

However, when Ashina perished, he left the last sample, the princess of the family, the sister of Ashina Genichiro, who usually disguised herself as Ashina's maid and medical officer, and finally gained the trust of Akiko, the person of the dragon Yin's medium, and then... Without the other party's complete knowledge, the offspring was left behind.

This is also the origin of the branch of Noriko Reed, the reason why their family has been able to be cared for by the Hand for a long time is not entirely because Murakami misses the old love, but because they all have the blood of the dragon yin.

They are waiting, maybe which generation of reed masters will be able to produce a dragon Yin person. Unfortunately, it never was.

"Well, it can be done. Murakami nodded solemnly. Maybe our ideas are too naïve, maybe our ability is not enough, but if you change to those two adults... If I change to that company... Long Yin Susheng will definitely be able to achieve it!

"I see. Noriko Ashina bowed deeply to Murakami, "I will accept this solicitation and steal all the secrets of that company, and I will live up to the trust of adults." ”

"You must not have such an idea!" Murakami was anxious all of a sudden, the Hand Club has met with the Twins now, except for Mrs. Gao, who is him, and after meeting, his performance is not as good as that of Mrs. Gao at the beginning. It is a mixture of despair and terror, an existence that can never be resisted, absolutely not!

"After you pass, you must be faithful to your duties, show the loyalty of the samurai, and serve the new lord as if you were serving me, nay, more faithfully than serving me. "Murakami has carefully arranged, from now on we will never be able to do anything again, and don't make any moths, you want to die, I haven't lived enough!

However, there is nothing to worry about, after seeing those two adults again, no one can have the heart to resist. Fupin Chinese
