Ninja, a special type of military in the Warring States period of ancient Japan, specialized in special tasks such as assassination, military investigation, arson, etc., so ninjas can also be regarded as special soldiers.

The role of ninjas during the Warring States War could not be underestimated, and they could even affect the entire battle situation, but such an important ninja has been suppressed by the daimyo since the day of its birth. This may have something to do with the mystery and assassination nature of the ninja itself, after all, no ruler will tolerate the existence of unknown forces. But even so, some big forces in the Warring States period, such as Hojo and Tokugawa, could not do without the help of ninjas, and this is why Matsugami Yoshimitsu urgently went to Iga.

Iga Province is one of the 66th largest countries in Japan, and the land is barren. Most of the locals make a living by spying on news, assassinations, etc., which is the predecessor of the Iga ninja. Since the Onin Rebellion, the power of protection has gradually been eviscerated, and Iga Province is no exception, and the strength of the fifty-five ninja families led by Hyakchi, Hattori, and Fujibayashi gradually controls the real power of the entire Iga. For this reason, Iga is also known as the land of ninjas.

At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu and others finally arrived at Zhangcho, the largest town in Iga Province, after several days of traveling. Because this Iga country is controlled by more than fifty or sixty ninja families, coupled with limited financial resources, before the Hideyoshi era, there were actually no castles in the whole of Iga, only a few towns built by ninja families. Among them, Nabari Town was established by the Hyakuchi family, one of the three major Shinobi families in Iga, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu came to Nabari this time to recruit some ninjas from the Hyakuchi family.

Although this Zhangmachi is not protected by the castle, the Hyakchi family who controls this place does not collect business taxes from merchants, and there are many ninjas who sell ninja equipment, famous goods or accept tasks here, so the entire Najani Town is not only not declining but very prosperous. There are a dazzling array of famous shops, izakayas full of customers, and custom houses of warblers and swallows, as well as many small vendors selling various goods on both sides of the street.

"Lord, this Zhang Town is really prosperous. When will our castle town in Matsumoto Castle reach this point? Saigo Takahisa looked at the prosperity around him and said enviously.

Although Yoshiki Nagamasa on the other side didn't say anything, his eyes couldn't help but reveal his yearning for the prosperity of this place, and who among the people of the Warring States could not yearn for stability and prosperity?

"Hahahaha. Takahyu, the main hall looks like you're fascinated by the wandering girl of the Japanese house. Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw the retainers' yearning for this place, and smiled and joked about Saigo Takahisa.

"Uh, hahahaha." Saigo Takahisa and Ryoki Nagamasa were stunned for a moment, and then they also laughed out loud.

At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu silently swore in his heart. "Yes, Matsumoto Town will definitely be more prosperous and peaceful than Nabari in the future."

"Hehe, again. Look at those three giggling samurai, it's funny. It's much more fun than the monkey I have at home. At this moment, the voice of a young woman with a voice as beautiful as a yellow oriole reached the ears of Matsugami Yoshimitsu, but what he said was ......

Just before Matsugami Yoshimitsu and the others could react, the man named Matsuyoshi next to the woman might be afraid that she would annoy others and persuade him. "Miss Ahao, now that Lord Longchuan is coming to the Baidi family to intercede for the survival of our village, it is better not to cause trouble."

"Alright, alright. I see, it's boring. The aaron grumbled, but said no more.

At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu finally saw the appearance of this woman named Ahao. Ah Hao is a beautiful girl who looks like she is going to fourteen, five or six. Her skin was not fair, but it was a healthy wheat color, and it sparkled from afar. A pair of beautiful big eyes are very smart and energetic. Ah Hao's dress is also extremely distinctive, her long hair is not draped or wrapped in cloth but tied into a ponytail to look very capable. Wearing a tight-fitting red and white Japanese outfit highlights her bumpy figure, and the tight calves that are exposed also exude a deep beauty of strength. At this moment, Matsugami Yoshimitsu knew that he was attracted to this woman.

In fact, Matsugami Yoshimitsu has seen a lot of beautiful women since he came to the Warring States Period, but those women are all traditional aristocratic women dressed without characteristics. But this Ah Hao is different, Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw the passion and vitality of women in this era from her, so from the first time he saw Ah Hao, he secretly swore in his heart that he must get her.

"What are you looking at, this samurai-sama?" At this time, Ah Hao also saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu who had been looking at her, but she didn't act as shy as an ordinary woman, but walked up to talk to Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

"This ...... This ......" Matsugami Yoshimitsu is not a person who is not strong-willed, but for some reason he looked into Ayu's eyes but couldn't say a word and became groggy.

"Lord, lord." Suddenly, the anxious shouts of Yoshimasa Yoshimasa Yoshimitsu and Takahisa Saigo rang in Matsukami's ears.

"Ahh Matsugami Yoshimitsu was suddenly awakened, and his eyes slowly became focused. But when he saw that Ah Hao and her companion Matsuyoshi had already disappeared at this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu couldn't help but ask curiously. "Changzheng, where did the woman and her companion go just now?"

"Lord, didn't you lend them your money bag and let them go? I'm also curious about how the lord knows people in Iga? Yoshiki Nagamasa asked a little strangely about Matsugami Yoshimitsu's question.

"What? Pocketbook? Oops. Matsugami Yoshimitsu was suddenly shocked, and when he touched his waist, his money bag was gone.

"Lord, what's going on?"

"Lord, do you want to chase them?" Seeing Matsugami Yoshimitsu's abnormal reaction, Yoshimasa Ryoki and Saigo Takahisa hurriedly asked with concern.

"Forget it, it seems that the main hall has been tricked into illusion. But they don't have any ill intentions. Matsugami said with a sigh.

Yoshiki Nagamasa and the others saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't want to pursue the woman, so they didn't speak.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked again. "Changzheng, Gao Jiu, how much money do you still have?"

"There are still two Yongle money in the bottom."

"There are 3 and 500 copper coins below." Ryoki Nagamasa and Saigo Takahisa hurriedly said the amount in their money bags.

"That's enough, let's find a house to live in first, and then visit the Baidi family tomorrow." Matsugami Yoshimitsu thought for a moment and said.

"Haha." Then Yoshiki Nagamasa and the others will go to Matsugami Yoshimitsu to find a house to live in.

Matsugami muttered as he thought of what had happened to him as he left. "Ahh Interesting, interesting. ”......

On the other side, not far from where Matsugami Yoshimitsu was, in a hidden place. The two figures are arguing behind their backs, and it is the previous Ah Hao and Youji.

"Ahh, you're too reckless, those warriors aren't easy to mess with." Youji bitterly admonished Ah Hao.

However, Ah Hao obviously didn't listen, she threw a money bag up and caught it and said nonchalantly. "Whoever told that samurai to look at me all the time is polite enough to take his money bag. Besides, my illusion is not something anyone can break. After saying that, Ah Hao smiled smugly and turned to leave.

"Hey~~~." That Youji smiled bitterly and followed. ......
