"Then again, what is the most valuable of the goods you have brought from Fuso?"

"Fabrics, porcelain, and tea can be sold, but most of them are not as good as the Ming Dynasty in the west, but they are more difficult to trade there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe most unique trading item is the Taidao, but the quantity is not very optimistic, even the big lord can only sell us a few dozen pairs at a time, and even a ship is not enough to fit! ”

"So, there is no profit in the market of Fuso?"

"Not really, at least silver carries a lot of weight."

"Silver?"

"Yes, the demand for silver in the Ming Kingdom is very high, and there are a lot of silver mines in Fusang, first sell the goods to the Fuso people in exchange for silver, and then go to the Ming Kingdom to exchange for silk weaving and porcelain, and the fast ship can also reserve tea, and then transport it back to the Mediterranean Sea is several times the profit!"

"But I'm afraid it's not easy to trade gold and silver in large quantities!"

"Yes, the mines are also in the hands of the lord......"

So you have to find a big name to do business!

If it is a daily necessities and luxury goods, it is up to local merchants to promote them, while military supplies are obviously more profitable to contact with the daimyo.

"Shouldn't we finally talk about your iron cannon?"

Fan Xiu suddenly spoke.

Raphael was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.

"I've forgotten that you're still a samurai."

Then he said a few words of Portuguese to the big man beside him, and the man who was obviously not very able to understand Fusang's dialect was already sitting on the side and was about to fall asleep, when he came to his senses and took out a very long musket from the bag on his back, about four feet (120 cm) long, and the shape was no different from the pictures he had seen before.

"These are all new iron cannons, which can be shot when it rains!"

Fan Xiu took the gun and observed it back and forth, but he vaguely saw the spiral undulations in the muzzle.

"This is...... To increase the accuracy, right? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, I found that it seems difficult for the current Fuso language to express the word "rifling".

"That's right!" Raphael nodded, "Since you all know, there is no need to explain, even skilled craftsmen can only process one or two sticks a day, so the price is ......"

Although rifling was adopted, it was still an ordinary arquebus, and it will still be abandoned in the future, but it can be very useful in the short term.

"How many are you?"

"Since it's Your Excellency, then only charge the lowest price, eighty pieces!"

At this time, Honshu finally realized what Tamakoshi Sanshiro called "the skill of never bargaining". At present, the price of a typical local iron cannon is forty or fifty yuan, while the price of European merchants is ten yuan, and if it can be shot in the rain, it will be added another ten or twenty yuan. The price of eighty guan is equivalent to the manual cost of rifling, although it may not be the "lowest price", but it is indeed not high, there is this said, I am really embarrassed to refuse this price, and it is not worth it to damage a long-term friendship for the sake of one or two penetrations.

This is an alternative negotiator.

"Then it's going to take ten."

"Good!"

Raphael rejoiced and continued to make people come up with something new.

"This short cylinder is only two feet long, which is very short and very easy to carry!"

……

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the end, in addition to ten rifled rain irons, several short barrels and arquebuses were delivered, and Raphael, who was in a good mood, also gave wine and velvet as gifts.

The goods were relieved to be delivered by Tamakoshi Sanshiro's caravan, while Honshu returned the same way with four guards.

It's already May, and the weather is gradually starting to get hotter, and when walking in the territory of Owari, Honhide is not fully dressed, but ordinary guards can't have this treatment, and they are still fully equipped.

From the morning, I walked for most of the day, until the afternoon, and my body and spirit fell to the lowest point. Inadvertently, Honhide rode Hidee and was in the lead, followed by Asano Nagayoshi.

As I passed a small hill full of woods, I suddenly heard what seemed to be an exclamation from inside.

"Huh? What kind of monster is this? ”

It's a middle-aged man's tone.

"I've never seen it before, maybe it's worth a lot of money if you catch it and give it to the old man?"

Then came a young female voice.

Asano Nagayoshi immediately craned his neck to look inside, but Hirate Hirate was not interested.

"If you're really curious, you might as well go in and have a look, but remember to keep along."

Seeing that he couldn't help it, Fan Xiu also commanded it.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Changji dismounted and thanked him, and then slipped into the woods.

"What a child!"

Fan Xiu laughed out loud, and didn't wait for him, just rode forward.

I hadn't taken a few steps when I suddenly heard a few shouts.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Before the words landed, Fan Xiu had already come to his senses, and after more than ten battles, the feeling in this regard was no longer what it used to be.

The so-called "sound of breaking the air" from the air with a sharp weapon is very low, but it is very sharp, and it can still be heard if you are careful to distinguish it.

Subconsciously turn over and dismount, use the horse's body as a cover, and grab the pocket hanging around the horse's neck with his left hand.

Suddenly, two brown figures could be seen, galloping over. They all appear to be masked, and they are not wearing any protective gear.

As soon as he fell to the ground, he saw several black shadows flying by, one flying overhead, and one stopping on the saddle.

It's shuriken!

Although the power is not great, even the saddle cannot penetrate it, but it may not be fatal to hit the vital point.

Luckily, the response was fast enough.

Immediately after that, another shuriken flew from under the horse, stabbing it in the calf, accompanied by the sound of several more hitting the saddle.

Fortunately, the horse was not frightened.

"Hey!"

The shouts of the two guards could be heard, followed by the sound of swords entering the flesh, presumably stopping the assassin.

At this time, the most important thing should be to check whether there is any enemy weapon for toxicity.

Looking down, the blade of the black shuriken was very smooth, and only the metallic color could be seen, and there was nothing unusual. However, I was still not at ease, so I pulled up the straps and tied them tightly at the lower part of my knees to prevent the flow of blood.

The wound was not too deep, wrapped in a cloth and pulled out the shuriken, and then hastily pierced.

It's just a split second.

Holding his head and looking back, the two assassins were besieged by four samurai with small swords, all of whom were wounded. After two rounds, the shuriken seemed to be finished.

This is not a professional assassin!

Honshu thought so, at least their swordsmanship was much worse than that of Hirano Jinemon at home.

Seeing the disadvantage, one person suddenly let out a loud cry, straightened his chest to meet the combined swords of the two people, and at the same time threw out the sword and attacked the other person.

Involving three enemies with one person is just to create a negligible opportunity for his companions.

The other assassin also learned that he did not avoid the blade, and he was stabbed in the shoulder, and rushed towards Fan Xiu with all his might.

Courage is commendable, but it can't be successful!

For the sake of safety, he still hid behind his horse and listened to the two enemies being sliced open.

After a few more moments, after confirming death, they slowly approached, and the guards gathered around Fanxiu, carefully guarding the surroundings.

It's all brown linen clothes and equipment with small swords, and they should be nearby samurai.

"Let's go and see Yaemon first."

One of them was commanded to go into the woods.

After a moment, Asano Nagayoshi, who was in the middle of the ambush, was already foaming at the mouth and unconscious, but he didn't know if he was killed.

When I got closer, I didn't get any fatal injuries, and it seemed that I was just fascinated by the drugs.

So he ordered the guards to immediately mount their horses and rush back to the city.

What an oversight!

Fan Xiu said this to herself, and her expression began to be stern unnaturally.

…………

After the examination, Asano Nagayoshi was fine, but he was drugged to cover his face, and he fainted before he had time to call. And the shuriken is somewhat poisonous, but the blood is not deep and the toxicity is not strong, so it is not too dangerous.

The experience of being attacked is certainly annoying, but when you calm down, it feels wrong.

"What if the other party is a professional assassin?" Fanxiu's face was grim, and the object of such a question was naturally Hattori Kotota, who was proficient in ninjutsu.

"This ......"

"If you speak up, will you succeed?"

"If there are three or four professional turmoil, I'm afraid it will ......"

And all the people were uncomfortable.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much," Xiao Fujita hurriedly added, "If it is a professional chaos, blending into the enemy country, finding out the news, determining the target, and then lurking and successfully assassinating one person, if there are no spies inside, it will take at least a hundred people to work together, and it will take a few months to prepare, and the cost is very high." ”

"And what about this time?"

"I estimate that the other party only spent a hundred or dozens of times and hired a few batches of wild warriors."

"That's right...... So if the other party is a professional assassin, how many guards are needed? ”

"If it is the Koga of the Rokkaku family, it is best for His Highness to bring more than twenty guards, and do not go near the woods and water sources on the road...... And ......"

Xiao Teng was too eager to speak and stopped.

"What?"

"His Highness's Ma is too conspicuous."

It suddenly became clear that Hidee was taller than the Japanese horses of this era, which had already been reflected once on the battlefield last time, but he still hadn't learned his lesson.

"Kuro!"

"Yes." Chief Kawada stepped forward and replied.

"In the future, unless the army is dispatched, don't bring Xiujiang out for me. Prepare me another normal horse. ”

"Yes!"

"And every time you travel, prepare a few more guards."

"Yes!"

But no one will accuse him, the son of a daughter can't sit down, although not everyone may know this sentence, but the meaning is understood.

"Which force was assassinated, everyone must also have an opinion!"

Fan Xiu asked rhetorically, followed by a moment of silence.

"Imagawa, of course!" Hattori Xiaoheita suddenly yelled angrily, stretched out his remaining left hand, and slammed it against the wall.

"Huh?" Fan Xiu looked sideways with a slight dissatisfaction, but saw that his face was flushed and he was extremely emotional.

"Kohei's ......"

"Your Highness, please take me with you when you go out, I will ...... even if I die"

The words were spoken quickly, and then he swallowed halfway.

Secretly shocked, it turns out that Xiaoping Tai is so loyal?

"Your Highness!" Hirano Shiemon suddenly spoke, "I still know a few wandering ninjas below, let me recruit them for you!" Even if I am already unwell, my son can be its leader. ”

"This position can also be held by Kotota!"

"Why don't you leave it to you!"

The Hattori brothers spoke almost at the same time.

It's a bit touching to be in the grip of such a thankless job.

"I'm not dead yet!"

Fan Xiu scolded with a smile, "I'm afraid there is another inside story in this matter, and I don't think there will be much assassination value at this time." As for the wandering ninjas, you can recruit them and take a look. ”

Another insider?

All the people in the temple were silent. is good at intrigue and trickery, and it can be said that there is none of these, and Fan Xiu has just read a lot of similar stories from novels.
