CHAPTER XLVII
The two samurai came over, both with cautious flattering expressions on their faces, and said respectfully to the guard: "My lord, I heard that you have met an unidentified person who has come to deliver a letter to you? ”
The guard's eyes narrowed.
No matter how humble and careful the demeanor of the two is, the meaning of their words is really ...... Be on one's high horse.
Their own letters, in broad daylight, in front of themselves, they dare to say that they will handle them?
In an instant, the garrison's heart was filled with murderous intent towards the two samurai. I have been operating here for many years, and the power of life and death is in my own hands, how can I tolerate such a blatant offense.
However, the caution he had cultivated over the years still stopped him from making any substantive confrontational moves at the last moment.
I saw him smile, and then said: "Such a trivial matter, naturally dare not bother the envoy." If you are interested in this letter, you can go and read it with you. ”
When the two samurai heard this, they were overjoyed, and they waved at the garrison again and again, thanking them and saying that they were disturbed.
The guard snorted, and said with a smile: "Then the two of you will go with Lord Ben." ”
With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked forward first. The two samurai glanced at each other, both on their heels.
Within moments, the garrison saw the two messengers.
In fact, ordinary people have no way to see the guard, but it just so happened that the tall man had a distant relative who had an errand in the garrison mansion, and someone threaded the needle, so the two of them could point up and down and hand the words to the garrison.
When the two of them saw the guard, they immediately knelt on the ground, their heads firmly on the ground, and they did not dare to say a word.
It wasn't until the guard said, "What's the matter with you two, play it quickly," that the short man among the two dared to straighten up, took out a sealed letter from his bosom, knelt a few steps forward, and then lifted the letter with a trembling palm.
Immediately someone stepped forward to fetch the letter, and then respectfully presented it to the garrison.
The garrison glanced at the two samurai who were lying beside him with some disgust, took the letter presented by his subordinates, and just wanted to open it directly, but his heart moved, and he involuntarily slowed down the movements in his hands.
But before he could speak, he heard a gloomy voice in his ear: "My lord, why don't you open it?
The garrison only felt a cold air from the back of his neck directly into his clothes, like a snake swimming on his neck, and before he knew it, his body had been aroused into a cold sweat.
At this time, somehow, he no longer had the majesty he had before, his tone was a little trembling, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I see, I see, this letter is not in a hurry to read it......"
But the voice behind him interrupted him: "My lord, let's take a look first, if there is anything important and urgent that is delayed, the two of us will really die in a hundred lives." What do you think, sir?"
The guard's eyes jumped, and he felt that something was not right in his state, but he felt the cold aura coming from behind him, and he also knew in his heart that if he didn't open this letter on the spot, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain it later. In addition, he has never had any contact with any anti-party or other figures, and he thinks that he has a clear conscience and is frank and frank.
Therefore, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and opened the letter in front of several people present.
Unexpectedly, the guard opened the letter, and as soon as he read a few lines, his hand shook violently, and then subconsciously crumpled the letter into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
But at the same time, a hand had already reached out behind the guard, and with a clever flip of the wrist, he directly took the crumpled letter.
The guard stood up, looked at each other, his lips trembled a little, and said, "You guys already know the contents of it, don't you?"
The two samurai stood together, and when they heard the guard's words, one of them spoke, still in the same cautious and somewhat flattering tone, and replied, "Your Excellency, don't worry, this matter is not your fault. As long as the adults are willing to forget about this and don't have any thoughts that they shouldn't have, then I don't think the adults above you will blame you. ”
The guard calmed down a little, moved his steps back, and said as he retreated, "But how can you be sure that Lord Ben is willing to keep this secret?"
As he spoke, I don't know what signal he sent, a large group of samurai poured in from outside, hula and surrounded the garrison in the middle, and everyone's swords were already unsheathed, facing the direction of the two samurai.
But there was no panicked look on the two of them, and they didn't try to control the guard, they just looked at the guard and asked: "My lord, the lives of the two of us are naturally nothing, but you have to think about it, once the two of us die, I am afraid that the lives of your family will be difficult to preserve." ”
At this time, surrounded by many subordinates, the garrison had some confidence in his heart, and asked the two, "Who are you?"
……
A few days later, the Hatta River.
Shui Wuyueqi handed the document in his hand to Kaguya Qianxin and said, "It seems that it is still effective for our people to send the letter in person, and sure enough, a lot of rats have been caught." ”
Kaguya Kenshin casually flipped through the list and said, "He fled in such a hurry, he didn't have any seals on his body, what could he do to convince the garrison officials everywhere that he was the real daimyo......?"
Shui Wuyue Qi showed a smile on his face, and picked up the following words: "Even if they know that it is a real daimyo, I'm afraid they may not be willing to raise the army of King Qin." ”
Kaguya Qianxin nodded and said with a smile: "The power of the three clans is still there, and under their deterrence, ordinary people still dare not move lightly. In addition, most of the samurai under their command have not fought in the past few decades, and when they see a ninja come forward, even if they have some thoughts, they are afraid that they will soon be dispelled. ”
Shui Wuyueqi's mood was a little lighter, and at this point, the matter of Haruka Miyajima's disappearance finally did not continue to ferment for the time being. At the same time, although each has its own ghosts, Kaguya and Mizuki have finally maintained an alliance with the three big families of the Hattagawa.
Now that the matter has been preliminarily resolved, Shui Wuyue Qi does not intend to stay here any longer, and even said to Kaguya Qianxin: "Since this is the case, then I will leave first." ”
With that, he left straight away, leaving Kaguya humble in the same place.
When Shui Wuyue Qi left, a person flashed behind Kabaya Qianxin and said in a low voice: "Patriarch, there is news in the village: the Shui Wuyue clan invites a banquet for Mita Xin. ”
