"Yuko," Horio Yoshiharu said smugly, "I heard that they went to Shinmachi, Osaka, and mingled with the local thieves, and it seems that they have formed a force, and the local kaki and merchants must be afraid of them."

"They went to Shinmachi Yuko?" Xiubao stroked his beard slowly, and couldn't help laughing: "These Kanto guys are really good."

Horio and Hideho refer to the "yukoku" as a place where the houses of the wandering girls gathered that were allowed to be operated by the government, but they were not connected to the outside world like the fireworks alleys in ancient China, but were surrounded by high walls and moats

The first Yukoku was formed on the north shore of Osaka's amusement gathering place "Dotonbori", and then the first Kyoto Yukoku was established in Nijoyanagicho, Kyoto, and more than 40 years later, Edo also had Yukoku, and there was a Yunuko who built a new Yukoku in Rì Motohashi Ningyo Town, which was later Yoshiwara Yukoku, one of the three major prostitution places in Rìmoto (the other two were Shinmachi Yukoku in Osaka and Shimabara Yuko in Kyoto)

The reason why Hidebo couldn't help laughing was not because he looked down on these ninjas entering and leaving the place, but because he thought of some real events in history

In fact, after the demise of the Hojo family, one of the "three shinai in the world", the wind demon ninja Shoji Shinnai was exiled to Edo, and found that there were private jì haunts everywhere, so he gathered these private jì together and opened Yukuku, which was Yoshiwara Yuko, who applied for a license from the shogunate in 1617 and became the head of Yoshiwara Town, of course, as a bargaining chip, he was behind the scenes as a helper of the shogunate, specializing in detecting suspicious people in and out of Yoshiwara

Although the time is twenty years ahead, these Kanto ninjas are still engaged in these three-way and nine-rate businesses, how can the tricks of fate not make people sigh with emotion

"Could it be that you already know about this, my lord?" Of course, Horio Yoshiharu didn't hear the meaning of Hideho's words, so he could only speculate curiously about himself

"How would I know" Hideho relieved himself and said, "In the end, there is also my negligence in this matter, so let's do it, you immediately leave for Osaka and summon those ninjas back in my name, remember, you must not reveal this matter to anyone, especially the five elders and the five commissioners"

"The minister will do it" Horio Yoshiharu leaned over and saluted, respectfully exiting the main hall, and seeing that Horio had gone away, Fujido Takatora, who had been silent, finally spoke: "My lord, don't you think that the assassination of Iga Mamoru has something to do with Nakato, right?" ”

Hideho shook his head: "This may be said to be a ninja, but after all, they are outsiders, and the risk of using them to assassinate the daimyo is too great, and besides, with the festival of the Nakato and Tokugawa families, they will never listen to him."

"What about Masuda Nagamori, will they be bought by Masuda Nagamori?" Fujitang Gaohu looked deeply

"That's even more impossible," Hidebo explained, "These Omi factions look down on those guys in the Kanto region from the bottom of their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't secretly call the Uesugi family 'monkeys' and the Tokugawa family's 'tanuki', and the famous Koga ninja is still in their hands, so there is no need to give up the near and far, and the good ones are second."

"Then what did you ask Horio-sama to get them back?" Fujitang Gaohu was puzzled

"Of course, it's the formation of our Yamato Toyotomi family's own ninja army," Xiu's eyes lit up and said firmly: "To put it mildly, the good Koga ninja are all under Ishida, the good Iga shinobi are all in the hands of the inner house, and the ninjas of this family are all defective products picked by Taiko and the inner house, and the quality can be imagined, therefore, it is an urgent matter to recruit Kanto ninjas to join the family, and the wind demon clan is one of the best, can they be included in the door, isn't it a top priority?" ”

"Forming a ninja army?!" Fujitang Gaohu couldn't help but be suspicious: "Just rely on those thieves and thieves who wander around?" ”

"You can't say that, they're also forced to do it" Hideho waved his hand and explained nonchalantly: "Besides, I didn't say that it all depends on them, isn't there still the Iga team of Kaemon, and when Duan Rìko Komiyayama-sama comes back, the three forces will be combined into one, and that will be the prototype of the ninja army."

"Harukatsu Komiyayama?" Fujitang Gaohu was inexplicable again: "This also has something to do with Lord Komiyayama?" ”

"Of course it's related," Hideho nodded and whispered, "Don't you think Komiyayama has disappeared for a while?" ”

Fujitang Gaohu looked embarrassed, and replied embarrassedly: "These retainers are all handling the affairs of the territory in the northern city, and they really don't care enough about the affairs of their own family."

"Oh, you think too much, I don't blame you, it seems that the secrecy is still in place" Xiubao smiled and continued: "I won't hide it from you, just after attending Taiko's funeral, I arranged for him to return to Kai"

"Back to Kai? Could it be that he went to recruit Takeda's former ministers? ”

"Half of the guess is right," Xiubao said: "It is said that it is an old minister, but in fact it is just a ninja of the Takeda family."

"The ninja of the Takeda family..."Fujido Takatora thought again and again, and muttered, "Could it be the Togakure ninja of the famous Koshin?!" ”

"Heh, it seems that he went back right, he can get into your ears, and his ability must be good."

"The lord praised it falsely," Fujido Takatora replied modestly: "Oda's Koga Tokugawa's Iga Takeda's Togakushi Hojo's Wind Demon is the famous 'Four Hidden in the World', although the latter two are in a state of collapse because of the collapse of the main family, but their deeds and strength can not be underestimated at all, you already know about it, the minister is inconvenient to say more, just say that this Togakushi ninja is not inferior to the other three."

"The origin of the Togakure ninja is one of the five peaks of the North Shinano Togakushi Mountain, they rose in the Genpei War period, flourished in the era of the Shin Xuan Gong unified Koshin, before and after more than 20 years, for the Takeda family has made great achievements, among which the most famous Togakure ninja is the Tsushima Mori Seiyo, the Takeda family in the North Shinano behind the previous battles, often have this Tsushima Shou figure appeared, he led the Togakure ninja out of the sè to complete various tasks from reconnaissance to assassination, round of combat exploits, not at all under the Hokushin clan Sanada family."

"It's a bit exaggerated, isn't it even the Sanada family that can't withstand those mountain monkeys?" Xiubao was noncommittal, and said with a smile: "But I can get your compliment, it seems that it is really not an ordinary product."

"It's not just ordinary goods!" Fujido Takatora corrected solemnly: "Even Koga Iga is not necessarily their opponent, but I heard that they have been wiped out as early as the destruction of the Takeda family, so you sent Komiyayama-sama to find it, can you really get what you want?" ”
