The next morning, he returned to Shiga Castle with Masuda Nagamori. The pen www.biquge.info Masuda Hitoemon was just a wandering orphan before, so naturally he couldn't buy horses. Fan Xiu was not in a hurry, and only led the horse and walked together.

In the past, although Fanxiu thought he was pure-hearted and had few desires, but when he saw a future celebrity, he was now a penniless poor boy, and he would inevitably move his mind to recruit. That's exactly what Hattori Koheita is. Masuda Nagamori is a well-known commissioner, and if he can be included as a subordinate, it will be enough to worry about this in the future.

However, yesterday I learned the shocking news from Nobunaga, and I was only thinking about how to find out the truth, and I didn't pay attention to what happened to me at all.

Masuda Hitoemon, although it doesn't look like he has studied poetry and books, but he has been living since he was a child, and he has a wide range of knowledge, and he is naturally good at reading words and feelings.

Owari's cool autumn is pleasant, and the half-day walk doesn't seem long, and by noon, you finally see Shiga Castle.

"Big brother, I'm back."

Pushing the door into the city, in addition to the eldest brother Jiuxiu, there was another person.

"Your Highness!"

Hattori Koheita propped up his left arm wrapped in gauze and bent down to salute, revealing a large scar on his back.

"Excuse me!"

Fanxiu suddenly forgot what was on her mind.

Although he has been in the first battle, he has not really experienced a bloody battlefield, and his mentality is still much more fragile than that of the samurai of this era.

"Isn't Xiaoping returning to his hometown? How could it hurt like this? Fan Xiu looked his injuries up and down, his eyebrows locked.

"Early this morning, I found Xiaoping standing at the door with a gun, looking like he was about to fall unconscious." Jiuxiu's expression was not at all easy.

"Minister...... Can you still hold a gun......" Xiaoping smiled too reluctantly.

"Compared to this identity of me and the murderer, even if there is any vendetta, there is no need to hide it." Fan Xiu said in a deep voice, "Although the Heite family is not a prestigious family, in the Owari area, not everyone dares to mess with it. ”

Xiaoping was stunned and lowered his head.

"My subordinate was born in Tsushima, and my father is a member of the Hattori family."

Fan Xiu nodded, not interrupting him.

"Tsushima Hattori is the master of perverse behavior and believes in evil sects, presumably His Highness also knows."

Evil Sect? If I'm not mistaken, Tsushima Hattori is a believer in the Ichikotsu sect, right? Could it be that the reason why Xiaopingtai and his son ran away was because of ......

"My father once said that only Zen is the right way to Buddhism, and he has always used the name of Buddha to deceive people's hearts, and he has abolished the rules and precepts for himself, and spread war disasters on others, which is a heretical doctrine, and the Hattori family is greedy for small profits and close to it, which is ultimately the way to take trouble."

"Ling Zun is extraordinary." Fan Xiu comforted, and roughly clarified his thoughts in his heart. The Zen sect was generally only spread among the princes and middle and upper samurai, while the Pure Land sect and Nichiren sect had a wide influence among the lower classes, so it seems that Koheita's father must have been a bit of a literate person.

So this injury, presumably, was also when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he had a conflict with those fellow clansmen.

Xiaoping Tai suddenly stood up again and bowed.

"Your Highness, please save your brother!"

What's going on here? Fan Xiu hurriedly helped Xiao Pingtai up.

Xiao Pingtai saw Fan Xiu's figure, and breathed a sigh of relief, before he came to the future.

"The younger brother Xiao Fujitai also returned to his hometown with his subordinates, but he met a cultist from the Sect, insulted his father, and ...... in anger."

"You lost to the other party, so you ran to Shiga Castle to ask for help?" Fanxiu frowned slightly.

"Our brother is already unaccompanied."

Xiaoping was too worried. Although Fan Xiu said that he wanted to include him as a retainer, it was just a casual sentence a few months ago, and he could take it back at any time.

"Kotota...... yes, so where is he now? ”

"I think I'm being held at Tsushima Hattori's house!"

Fan Xiu nodded. Later generations had the impression that the Ichizong sect was a sect that had repeatedly rebelled, so they subconsciously associated them with terrorist organizations such as the Inquisition.

So......

"Tsushima Hattori Family...... I don't have much friendship with our tie family. Jiuxiu had a little embarrassment on her face.

"But...... They don't dare to offend the Oda family. Fan Xiu said.

"You mean ......"

"I'll go to Cheongju immediately to ask for His Royal Highness's handwriting, I can't watch Xiao Pingtai's younger brother be killed!"

Fanxiu's tone is a matter of course, from the soul of the era of peace, and the importance of life is naturally not comparable to that in times of war.

"Your Highness......" Koheita struggled to bow down again.

"Just rest assured." Fan Xiu stopped the other party and immediately got up.

"Tsushima is not a peaceful place, so take a few people out with you, right?" Jiuxiu looked up at his younger brother and added.

"Then there is Brother Lao's arrangement." Honhide turned around and saw Masuda Hitoemon who had been sitting quietly on the side.

"By the way, this is the ...... of Masuda Hitoemon"

After a few quick explanations, he went out.

Across the Xiujiang River, go straight to Cheongju.

After the report, he hurried into the castle and explained his intention to Nobunaga.

Nobunaga didn't reply immediately, just stared at him blankly.

"Have you checked that matter?"

“……”

Fan Xiu was speechless, in fact, after seeing Xiao Heitai's injury, he temporarily forgot about that "business".

"I can't even tell the priorities, is he still a qualified samurai?" Nobunaga's voice raised a few degrees.

Human life is at stake, can it be said to be "light" and "slow"? Fan Xiu thought so, but her face just looked like she bowed her head and confessed her guilt.

After half a ring, Nobunaga threw down a piece of paper.

"Take it! The retainers of the Heite family can also be regarded as members of the Oda family, and if they are casually captured and killed by such a small wealthy family, it is indeed too shameless. ”

"Your Highness Xie......"

"But don't forget about the serious stuff!"

Fan Xiu bowed on the spot, then turned and withdrew.

The distance of Tsushima is farther, Xiujiang is extraordinary, but the few followers are tired of even the people and horses.

Although the Ichisuko sect has developed rapidly, in the face of the envoy of the Oda family, he still does not dare to ignore it, and without too much speech, Kotota was pulled out, and there are only a few young people who are not qualified to speak, still unhappy, with resentment in their eyes, I am afraid that they are some fanatical believers, and they hate it together with Fan Xiu.

The person in front of him looked only eleven or twelve years old, similar in appearance to his brother, but his body was a few sizes smaller, and the scars on his body were much less than those of Xiaopingtai.

The land of right and wrong is not suitable for a long stay, and Fan Xiu didn't bother to explain, so he just took him out.

When he picked up the horse, he only hoped to leave early, and he didn't notice the envy of others.

"Sir, this horse, this ...... It's really a miracle! "The little guy in the stable actually forgot to hand over the reins to Fan Xiu for a while.

frowned, and was about to get angry, when he saw the other party's unclothed appearance, he took a breath, and he couldn't bear it.

Seemingly...... It's been gradually assimilated by this era.

"You've seen my horse before?"

Fan Xiu tried to keep his voice as soft as possible and snatched the reins.

The little guy also seemed to sense that this samurai was not as vicious as other "masters", and he actually talked a lot for a while.

"Villain...... The owner of Kaimachi used to be a horse seller, and he did see this horse! ”

"Oh?" Fanxiu became a little interested.

"Those southern barbarians, the price was 500 guan, and after talking for a long time, it was said that it was 350 guan. Three hundred and fifty horses......"

"Are you sure it's a horse?" Fan Xiu's face was suspicious.

"This kind of god horse can only be seen once in a lifetime, how can it be wrong?" The little guy got carried away, raised his head and touched Fan Xiu's gaze, and lowered his head in fright.

"Perhaps...... You can't go wrong. The voice suddenly became trembling.

Fan Xiu was silent, scattered a few pennies to reward money, and walked away across the horse.

Three hundred and fifty guan, and it is only the purchase price, so the number of sales, I'm afraid it will reach four or five hundred!

Originally, I thought that this gift would be worth about thirty or fifty yuan, but even then it would be difficult to pay off the favor. Now it's ten times the value.

If Nobunaga's care is due to guilt, then, what about Shibata Katsuie?
