Chapter 15: The First Step

"Oh! Is this the Daimyo's Mansion? Not bad! Hui looked up at the tall house in front of him and sighed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 After saying goodbye to Akika, Hui rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion first, and because it was located in the capital of a country, it was easy to ask for directions.

"Hey, I said this uncle, I'm here to report from the Daimyo's Mansion, please help me inform me." Hui said to the two guards standing guard outside the gate with a natural expression.

"Please show your official document or token." The guard didn't squint, and said with the same look on his face.

"Uh...... No one gave me that thing, Princess Aika said to me, as long as I arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, someone would receive me......" Hui suddenly showed a pained expression, "Didn't you receive the news?" Feed! Hey, hey! I was really introduced by Princess Mingxiang! Put me down! Feed! If you don't let go, I'll hit someone! A guard picked up Hui like a child, walked to the street, bought a sugar gourd, paid for it, and handed the sugar gourd to Hui: "Little ghost, hurry up and go home!" The Daimyo's Mansion is not a place for you to play at home! After saying that, he returned to his post and stood up seriously.

"Hey, Kurasuke, how many times have I told you, why are you still accommodating these little ghosts?" Another guard asked. "Well...... Who knows....." Kurasuke replied indifferently, remembering his childhood, when he was like these children, he longed to be a samurai, playing samurai games every day, and finally one day he was finally favored by a samurai of the Daimyo's Mansion and accepted as a disciple, and now, he has also taken over the master's position and become a guard of the Daimyo's Mansion, and his childhood ambition has gradually faded, but he is relieved to see those new generations of children every day......

"Kurasuke-sama!" "Kurasuke-sama! Come and play the game of samurai with us! A group of children were playing around in the streets, came to Kurasuke, and invited.

"Not now! I'm still on duty! Kurasuke embarrassedly pulled away the children's little hands that grabbed the corners of his clothes, "Go play obediently, Maji, this money will buy you sugar gourds." Kurusuke took out his wallet and took out some change and gave it to the children.

"Oh! Kurasuke-sama is so nice! "Thank you, Kurasuke-sama!" The group of children immediately ran to the old man selling sugar gourds, "I want this!" "Ahh It's so cunning! I'm the first to take a fancy to this matter! "Not really! It's me first! ā€

"What...... Think of me as one of those little ghosts who can only eat sugar gourds! Hui looked at it unhappily, chewing the red sugar gourd in his mouth fiercely......

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the Daimyo's mansion, and Kurasuke and another guard greeted him: "Lord He." "Oh, you're on duty today, what? I'm entangled by this group of imps again. He Rao looked at Kurasuke interestingly. Yes...... Hehe......" Kurasuke smirked, a little embarrassed. He waved his hand and continued to walk out with a smile.

"Stop!" Hui jumped out, holding the uneaten sugar gourd in one hand and pointing at He ......

"Uh...... That one...... Kurasuke, do you know this little ghost......" He looked at Kurasuke a little tangled, because of Kurasuke, the children in the neighborhood like to come to the Daimyo's Mansion to play, the child stopped the samurai who came out of the Daimyo's Mansion and then pulled out his wooden knife with a serious face and shouted to fight me, and then the adult directly grabbed the collar and picked it up is not once or twice, even the son of the Daimyo who is only five years old has done this kind of shameful thing......

"Stupid! Didn't I buy you snacks! Kurusuke yelled at Hui, and then apologized to He: "That...... I'm so sorry! Lord He, this kid is the ...... I just met today" "I know, I know. He teased, "Another imp who wants to be a samurai, right?" After speaking, according to the old rules, he grabbed Hui's collar with one hand, "I said Kurasuke, let these children settle down a little in the past few days, Princess Akeka will be back soon, don't let these little ghosts disturb Princess Akeka." ā€

Syllable! Hui directly grabbed He's wrist, chewed the sugar gourd in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I'm not one of those little ghosts...... I'm here to report from the Daimyo's Mansion! After speaking, he pinched the bamboo stick left after eating the sugar gourd with two fingers, flung it back, and quietly, the bamboo stick was directly tied to a big tree, and it was deeply submerged, leaving only a little bamboo handle exposed. I met Princess Akeka on the road, and she introduced me to the Daimyo's Mansion! Hui put on a solemn expression.

Kurusuke grew his mouth: "This ...... This ...... "Although Hui has mentioned Princess Mingxiang before, no one will take a child's words seriously, after all, children's games often have "I am entrusted by so-and-so, and I am here to eradicate so-and-so's big demon king". But now looking at Hui's posture, maybe this time it's really happening......

Hearing Princess Akeka's name, coupled with Hui revealing his hand, He also had to take this unusual little imp seriously.

"Uh...... You let go first......" secretly struggled a few times, but he didn't break free, looking at the immobile Hui, He's heart became even more entangled, "Where did the little ghost come from...... Such a big ......."

"Ahem." He rubbed Hui's wrist, which had been loosened, and put on a serious expression; "You said that you were recommended by His Royal Highness Mingxiang, what evidence do you have? The Daimyo's Mansion is not something that can be entered by an unknown person. ā€

"There is no evidence for the time being...... But I met Princess Akika not far from here, oh yes, there's a guy named Ku, count the time, and they'll be back soon. Hui said, after all, Mingxiang didn't value Hui much, otherwise he wouldn't have given him even a token or something. No way, although Hui has shown a higher sword prowess than his peers, there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, and people pay more attention to the present than to how strong you may have in the future.

"Then I can't help it......" He waved his hand, "You can find a place to stay first, and then come back when Princess Mingxiang returns." ā€

"That's all it can be......" Hui walked away helplessly, and several people behind him looked at his back.

One day later, a convoy entered from the city gate and headed in the direction of the Daimyo's Mansion, Ku sat in the carriage with his sword in his hand, closed his eyes and rested, it was Mingxiang and his party. Soon, the convoy arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion.

"Her Royal Highness Princess" The guards at the door of "Her Royal Highness the Princess" bowed and saluted, Mingxiang returned the salute, and walked into the mansion with the library, and the other guards went to hand over their tasks.

"Wait a minute!" Hui ran over from a distance, "Princess Akeka! Princess Akeka! He came to the door, three meters away from the vigilant guards, and shouted at Mingxiang.

"Oh? It's you. Mingxiang turned around, saw Hui's appearance, instantly understood his situation, and smiled slightly: "You can come in with me too." Hui Daxi, and Ku followed behind Mingxiang left and right, and swaggered in.

Came to the inner mansion, Princess Aika explained to the two, and went to see the daimyo alone, and Hui and Ku stood outside and waited.

"Hey......" Hui was a little bored and shouted at Ku, who didn't seem to hear it, and didn't open his eyes. That one...... Your name is Ku, right? My name is Hui, please give me a lot of advice in the future. Hui spoke again. Ku finally opened his eyes, then nodded at Hui and continued to close his eyes and recuperate. Hui touched his nose a little boredly, and stopped talking, looking at the scenery around him.

After a while, one of the guards walked out, came to Hui and said, "Daimyo, please come in and talk." ā€

"The replay is coming!" Katsumi thought to himself that as long as he passed this level, he would be able to successfully become a samurai and start the first step of his plan!

"I heard you met Mingxiang in the wild? Where are you from? What is your name? In a brightly lit room, a middle-aged man and Akika sat on the ground and asked Terufa, this is Sao Ito, the daimyo of the Land of Fire. It's not like the later daimyo who painted his face with powder, painted his mouth red, and covered his face with a fan, and the current daimyo omitted some unnecessary dressing and decoration because of the war, and Hui only felt neat, capable, and a kind of majesty when he saw him.

"My name is Hui, ...... Yuroi Hui" Looking at the two of them a little stunned, Hui continued: "Because I am very interested in swordsmanship, I left the family to practice outside alone, and now I am a small swordsman, in order to find an opportunity to break through, I thought of joining the Daimyo's Mansion and becoming a samurai." ā€

"Is it the Feathered Clan of the Fire Country?" Ito asked, and Teru nodded. "The Feathered Clan...... I've heard of this family. Who did you learn your swordsmanship with? Hui replied, "I learned the swordsmanship of the family from the patriarch of the family, Lord Tianquan. Ito nodded and continued, "Who are your parents?" Hui said, "My mother is a feather coat, and my father has died, is his name...... It should be called empty. ā€

"Is it the empty of the Feather Cloak family?" Ito was in awe: "I remember this name, it seems that it was to protect the family, a person fought dozens of times the enemy and died in the end, but I didn't expect it to be your father......" Ito's expression returned to indifference, and lowered his eyes, "You live in the mansion first, and then arrange for you after my people notify your family to confirm your identity." Hui responded, and the maid on the side made a gesture of invitation and took him to the house to report.

"How is this person?" Mingxiang asked Ito, Ito picked up the teacup and blew it, and said, "Yes, I heard that his swordsmanship can quietly cut through the tree?" And a few days ago, someone reported that this guy used a bamboo stick to pierce the trunk of a tree at a distance of more than ten meters, and it seems that he is extraordinary! ā€

"So how should he be arranged? It's not a big way to call him a samurai at his age, right? "Mingxiang was a little undecided.

Ito chuckled twice and said, "At his age, it's not that it's not very good, but it's impossible, but it's ......" Ito's eyes were a little worried, "The ninja is too powerful, and it has shaken the foundation of the samurai, so at this time, it is undoubtedly a very meaningful thing for a descendant of a famous ninja clan in the ninja world to suddenly ask to become a samurai." ā€

"I see, Father, so are we going to accept him?" Mingxiang asked thoughtfully.

"Not only do we have to accept him, but we also have to publicize it so that everyone around me knows that a 'genius' of the Feather Cloak clan has become a samurai of my Fire Country's Daimyo Mansion!" Ito put down the teacup and said loudly.
