In terms of fame among the nations, Ishikawa Goemon is far better than the Tie Hide, who is a land of ten thousand stones. But this reputation is not a good reputation, but a bad reputation. Even if he robbed the rich and helped the poor, even if he was self-righteous and chivalrous, in the eyes of the people, he would always be just a thief who violated the law. There is a world of difference between a ninja hiding in the dark and a samurai on a human level. Even compared to farmers and merchants, it may not be a fraction higher.

Ishikawa Goemon thought he was a smart man, and after four years of training in Iga Province, he left his peers far behind, and after three years, he was already known as the "No. 1 Warrior of Iga". If that affair hadn't happened, he would probably have succeeded Iga Kamishinobu as an apprentice of Hyakuchi Tanba.

As a sworn enemy of Iga Bashinobu and Baiji Tanba, he is still thriving in, and can even take care of the livelihood of his brothers, which is enough to prove his status in the ninja world.

But the power and fame of this life end there. A lowly background is a gap that cannot be crossed in this world.

At that time, when it was called "Xia Ke Shang", the local tyrants and local servants rose up one after another to overthrow the protection of the shogunate identity of the imperial court, but the root cause was still nothing more than the change of power within the samurai class. There are still only a handful of people who come from humble backgrounds and are on top of the people.

Ishikawa is not a poor and happy person, and he has a complex feeling of hatred and envy for those samurai families who are born nobler than others. In his words, he tried his best to make a gesture of looking down on those "sanctimonious samurai", but when there was no one around, he couldn't help but fantasize about "what if I was born in a famous samurai ......family"

Strange people, except for those who are not in those directions, are probably like this. Therefore, Kato Duanzang Mao recommended himself, but he preferred to be able to show off in front of Uesugi and Takeda. The fruitful monk was recruited by the "Evil Bullet" Matsunaga Show, and even played with illusions.

However, as a result of offending the samurai, Kanzo Kato was poisoned by Kansuke Yamamoto, and Todaiji Temple, where the monk lived in Koshin, was set on fire by Matsunaga Shu. (This is my nonsense, don't take it seriously.) ）

After all, all the daimyo needed was a reconnaissance tool for military use. The iron law of ninjas is that their personal strength is too conspicuous to hide in the darkness, and it is just a useless dragon slaying technique. Relying on this, offending the majesty of the samurai is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Ishikawa Goemon hid between the mountain walls, looking at Yamazaki Castle from afar, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

A few days ago, in order to rescue the comrades who were accidentally captured, he led people to sneak into the city, and carried out a plan to attack the east and west, burning grain and grass to lure away the guards, and rescued his partner. But because of the self-assertion of a certain girl, she had to act again.

Hirate Honohide imprisoned the female ninja in one of Honmaru's yakura, which was surrounded by open flat land on all sides, and was closely guarded by nearly a hundred guards, and it was impossible to approach it unless he flew away.

But he can't ignore this woman.

Today, there is a request for others, and according to common sense, it is reasonable to put down one's body. Since the flat hand is interested in recruiting Ishikawa, it is naturally a useful place. This person is a generation of martial arts families, and he has always had the reputation of being virtuous, so he may not be embarrassed in person. It's just that the king of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult, if you directly report the name and origin, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the person in charge, but I will be humiliated by the little official.

After several years of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, Ishikawa has been pessimistic about money and even his life, but this is the only thing that is vain......

If you sneak in disguise, not to mention whether you can succeed, in case you annoy the other party, I am afraid that the city lord will immediately order the hostage to be killed.

I have been thinking about it for a long time, but now that I am afraid, I can only report my name in order to ask for an audience. He hadn't thought about the possibility that the girl had deliberately lured him in.

"You mean to say that this female assassin did not want to take my life on the spot, but only wanted to take revenge with the help of the power of the martial arts?"

She ...... It is indeed confessed. Kazushi Nakamura replied cautiously, "Considering that I also need to use this person to attract Ishikawa Goemon, I didn't use the execution." I don't know what His Highness thinks ......"

"This is the ...... Let's put it aside. Fan Xiu waved his hand, "It's better to pay attention to strengthening the guards, you are personally responsible, and don't do anything else." ”

After the assassination, Hirate did not hold Nakamura responsible, but his words were a little harsh, and the latter knew this, so he could only be more cautious at work in order to make amends.

"Yes."

Nakamura answered, slowly retreated, and disappeared around the corner in an instant.

At this time, another person appeared in a hurry.

"Your Highness!" Kawada Naga also bowed, and then got up, "I heard that you want to recruit that thief from Ishikawa Goemon?" ”

"It is true. How is it? ”

"But this man ...... Among the ministers of the imperial court and the daimyo of Zuojin, he is notorious, and accepting this person may damage the reputation of His Royal Highness. Kawada admonished, "Please think twice, Your Highness." ”

Ten years ago, when he first met Tieshou Tsunoxiu, he was still a clever teenager, and now he has become an old and serious retainer. Time has passed, and Fan Xiu gradually only feels that he is more than calm, but not enough.

As for the other wise man, Honda Masanobu, he seems to be inexperienced, and although he is quite talented, he is not enough to take charge of himself.

Matsui Yukan is a good officer, but it doesn't stop there.

Speaking of people who are enough to serve as a military advisor, Hazuhide immediately thinks of Mino Kirin's Takenaka Hanbei. Ever since Hirate Honhide invited him to be his tutor, many of the samurai who had reached the level of Noo and Noo had followed suit. Takenaka seems to be tired of this, but he still refuses to go out, and is dedicated to idle clouds and wild cranes, and lives a leisurely life.

This is a talent that even Oda Nobunaga can't control, so what can I do to break his heart? As soon as he thought of this, he felt that he didn't have much confidence anymore.

Instantly distracted, Fan Xiu came back to his senses, but saw that Kawada Changqin was still standing in front of him, and continued: "If His Royal Highness has the idea of a thousand gold bones, it would be ...... But I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses. ”

If you want to gather the thieves and werewolves in Kinai, it is a shortcut to treat the most notorious Ishikawa first, but in the eyes of traditional samurai like Kawada, even if these people are recruited, they will not be of much use.

Pingshou didn't answer, but shook his head first, and asked rhetorically:

"Now I have more than 10,000 stones of knowledge and deeds."

“…… It's ......" Kawada didn't understand what he meant, so he could only respond in a false voice.

"In the context of the Oda family, I am afraid that this territory will not develop much in the short term. At the same time, there are endless enemies to deal with. ”

This is an irrefutable fact, and the Oda family has not gained a firm foothold in Kamiraku, and the land they occupy has no time to digest, but at the same time they have made countless enemies.

How to strengthen the combat power without increasing the territory?

"Subordinate...... Got it. Kawada hesitated for a moment, but he could only retreat. There is a deviation in the opinion between the king and the minister, and the latter can only admit that he is wrong.

——————————————————————————————————————————

"You're Mr. Ishikawa?"

Unexpectedly, this minister who was waiting at the door, when he saw Ishikawa Goemon, who was in a down-to-earth shape, did not have the slightest contempt, but instead bowed with a very respectful attitude.

"I've heard the name for a long time, and I'm lucky to see it today, and it's really beautiful, and it's well deserved!"

"Aha...... Fortunately, fortunately, it will ......"

Faced with this etiquette, Ishikawa didn't know what to do. As a thief on the rampant side, he rarely has the opportunity to chat nonsense with people.

"Down there is the Mikawa man Honda Masanobu."

"Oh, Honda-sama, long admiration." Ishikawa can only imitate the other party's appearance, sitting upright, relatively courteous, but these actions are more difficult for him than sneaking into the city.

But Honda Masanobu seemed to be unaware of it, and still talked endlessly, as if he was familiar with the guest in front of him at first sight.

This person can't mean to see me laugh, right? Ishikawa glanced up, but he didn't feel like it, so he coughed heavily and interrupted Honda Masanobu's words.

"That...... The contemptible people are asking to see the lord of the castle here. ”

After saying that, Ishikawa looked up, trying to test the other party's reaction.

"Your Excellency, don't be impatient, and report it immediately."

Honda Masanobu did not mean to embarrass him in the slightest, and immediately withdrew.

Ishikawa was the only one left, and he changed several postures in a row, always feeling extremely aggrieved.

The thief dared to sneak into the mansion of the dignitaries in the dead of night, but in broad daylight, he was restrained in every way, and he didn't know what to do.

However, he didn't wait long. Moments later, footsteps could be heard outside the door.

Ishikawa didn't dare to be too lazy, and immediately stood up, but it was even more impossible for him to come forward in a low voice and flatter.

What appeared in front of him was a young man in a white samurai uniform, who stepped forward slowly, his face was as warm as water, without a trace of fireworks, and there was no ornament on his body except for his sword.

Humble and gentlemanly, he is polite and polite, but stepping forward gives people invisible pressure.

"Your Excellency is Mr. Ishikawa, a thief who shocked the world!"

A word lightly, no joy or sorrow.

Fang Cai Honda was full of respectful words, and Ishikawa only felt uncomfortable when he heard it. The young man in front of him said softly, but he was a little honored.

The popularity of the speaker is different, and the feeling it brings to the audience is also different. Although Honda Masanobu was smart, he had never held authority, and he always lacked some momentum. Words like "long admiration" are said by him, which only makes people feel that they are deliberately courteous and not sincere.

There is no doubt that those who have this kind of bearing are......

"Sure enough, it's a tie."

Ishikawa Goemon originally came to save people, but this time he bowed down to give a salute, but he really had a three-point twist.

"It's a tie down there." The young samurai nodded. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
