Chapter 53: I Want to Go Back
"From today on, you will be my retainer of Tsukahara Molong." Tsukahara Molong looked at the two ninjas in front of him with a smile and said. One of them is a young man from the Hattori family named Hattori Yasu, and the other is a middle-aged man from a civilian background without any background, it is really not easy to stand out from so many Iga ninjas, everyone calls him Azhong, so Tsukahara Moryū directly gave him Tsukahara's surname, called Tsukahara Shige. This move made Tsukahara excited, and he hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Tsukahara Moryū, and even left two lines of tears. For a thing as simple as eating and drinking a surname, Tsukahara Molong has already done it very easily, although at that time, Japan valued family names and even more than blood, but Tsukahara Molong directly ignored them.
Both of them are very good in ninjutsu, but although Hattori Yasu is young, he has received formal ninja training after all, so Tsukahara Molong freed Kato Duanzo from the task of training bear children and entrusted Hattori Yasu to deal with these little ghosts. Tsukahara Shige, because he has no background, can have this ninjutsu is indeed based on his own efforts, and the experience of performing tasks is very rich, almost all over Japan, and he is familiar with the intelligence of various places, so Tsukahara Molong assigned him to start the initial establishment of an intelligence organization, of course, now Tsukahara Molong relies on Toyota Hansuke to get income from business, and he is not capable of forming a large ninja force like the Hojo family's Wind Demon Ninja. However, Tsukahara Moryū didn't expect Tsukahara Shigege to train himself to fight ninja, as long as the intelligence network was spread.
After solving the problem of work pressure in Kanzo Kato, Tsukahara Moryū finally led his group to the legendary Kyoto! It was the most populous city in Japan at this time.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese Imperial Army fought four enemies in the Baijiang Estuary, and was beaten by the Tang Dynasty Navy led by the Tang Dynasty famous general Liu Renliang to not even know his mother, and the number of people killed on the spot was as high as 10,000, so that the Japanese Emperor hurriedly asked the Tang Dynasty to surrender, which allowed the Tang Dynasty Navy to return to the division. Of course, the Japanese are still more keen to boast about their glorious history of never being occupied by foreign troops in ancient history, and they will not think about why the Tang Dynasty navy did not go ashore and destroy Japan. However, the Japanese, who were beaten by the Tang Dynasty's navy, soon showed great "filial piety", not only fulfilling their duties as a subordinate country, paying gold and silver tribute to the Tang Dynasty every year, but also sending a large number of Tang envoys to China. Kyoto, Japan, is a product of that era.
The whole Kyoto is modeled after the pattern of Chang'an and Luoyang in China, and is divided into Luoyang District and Chang'an District, but Chang'an District is in the water and is inconvenient to live in, so it is the Luoyang District that really develops, so the Japanese have the saying that they enter Kyoto. Unfortunately, Kyoto was devastated by war during the Onin Rebellion, and after decades of self-repair (the government couldn't manage it, because the Japanese emperor himself couldn't eat enough), it was not able to restore its former prosperity. Walking through the wide streets of Kyoto, you can feel the smell of decay and decay, and the shops on both sides of the road are open, but both the pedestrians on the road and the people in the shops are all looking worried.
However, Kyoto is still a fairly densely populated area, and there are always some lively areas, such as sake houses. However, most of the people who drink in the sake house or run the train with their mouths full of people are out-of-town ronin, and few Kyoto locals can afford to come to this place for a few drinks. Tsukahara Moryū ran around the world with a large number of children, which was naturally very attention-grabbing, and some traffickers had quietly targeted this group of people, but seeing that they were all dressed in neat dojo costumes, they didn't dare to start, fearing that the other party would retaliate.
After asking Tsukahara Butterfly and the others to take care of the little ghosts, Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai came to the sake house, but they accidentally learned a very exciting news: Tsukahara Bu Chuan was named "Sword Saint" by General Ashikaga Yoshiteru! This time it was a bunker, and Tsukahara Molong instantly had the aura of a Sword Saint disciple! Before he could brag to Zhou Dashuai about how hard his backstage was, the words of a foot trader made his body tremble: war broke out in Kanto again, and the Uesugi family and the Hojo family fought again in Musashi Country! Moreover, Satake, Oda's family, etc. also seem to have a tense relationship, and the entire Kanto region is now covered with war clouds.
"The Uesugi family and the Hojo family are at war, what is the result?" Tsukahara Moryū asked almost subconsciously, and when the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he was no longer a retainer of the Uesugi family, even if I had never been accepted by the Uesugi family...... I couldn't help but smile wryly.
Seeing that Tsukahara Molong and Zhou Dashuai were both tall and burly, and there was even a faint murderous aura on their bodies, they knew that the two were definitely not good stubble, so he quickly nodded as if flattering, and said: "It's really hard to say who wins and who loses in this battle, the two sides have been facing each other for several months, and the casualties are extremely tragic, and I heard that the warriors of Molongbei have changed several times......"
"How many stubbles have the warriors of Mo Longbei changed?" A black-faced young ronin was slightly stunned, and asked out loud: "But Mo Longbei, who severely damaged the heroes of Kanto in the night battle of Ninja City?" ”
"Back to this little brother's words, it is indeed this Mo Longbei." The footman laughed.
"How so? I heard about the good battle of Tsukahara Molong in the western country, unparalleled in the world, eighteen horses and joint ventures, killing the blood of the Kanto heroes, even the clan Kanggong almost died in his hands, why is it so unbearable? The black-faced youth looked incredulous.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, many ronins laughed uncontrollably, and just when the black-faced young man felt that he was insulted and wanted to draw his sword, a ronin who looked to be forty years old spoke: "You don't know, although Molongbei is still there, Tsukahara Molong has been expelled from the Uesugi family." ”
"What?" The black-faced youth felt that his worldview was being challenged.
"Tsukahara Moryū Gong is a high master, and Uesugi Kenmasa can't tolerate him at all, so he forced him away, and even sent dozens of war ninjas to besiege and kill him, but he killed more than 30 people instead." The ronin said with regret.
"I heard that he also participated in the Takeda family's North Shinano raid on the Murakami family, but Takeda Harunobu refused to listen to Tsukahara Molong's advice, and as a result, he was raided by Murakami Yoshikiyo and almost wiped out the whole army. However, Tsukahara Moryū saw that Takeda Harunobu was not the master, so he left the Takeda family again. Another ronin spoke.
"Alas, the one who gets the ink dragon wins the world, but he can't be reused, so why shouldn't we?" A ronin said with self-pity, leaving a few so-called heroic tears.
However, this ronin's words are in everyone's hearts, although not everyone thinks that they can have the talent of Tsukahara Molong, but unemployment is their common state.
Tsukahara Moryū was silent when he heard this, he was not a mean and ruthless person, although Uesugi Kenmasa forced him away, but Kohata Kenshige and Nagano Yesamae were very grateful for their help, and those Moryūbei samurai, although they did not leave with him, and even watched all this coldly for their own interests, but after all, it was the robe that was born and died with him, and it still made him feel sad to learn of their deaths.
Zhou Dashuai knew Tsukahara Molong's feelings, so he patted Tsukahara Molong on the shoulder: "Let's go." ”
After the two walked out of the tavern, Tsukahara Molong suddenly said to Zhou Dashuai: "I want to go back to Kanto!" ”
