Chapter 14: Fei Kato
Inukai Yoshio, who "fell off his horse and was seriously injured" due to the arrival of Tsukahara Moryū, immediately after Tsukahara Moryū left in a hurry, climbed onto the war horse with both hands and feet, and continued to advance towards Minowa Castle. He is very aware of Tsukahara Molong's urine, and it is estimated that he will not come back if he does not circle the nearby "scourge", and he has plenty of time to do things. But soon some familiar sound of horses' hooves came from behind him, making Inukai Yoshio's body tremble, but he couldn't remember what it was. Just when he wanted to turn his head in confusion, Tsukahara Molong's voice had already sounded: "Don't stick to me so closely, I still have a wound on my back!" ”
"You think I want to? You're riding so fast, if I don't get closer, I'll fall to my death! ”
"It's good to be dead! You almost killed Lao Tzu!! ”
Inukai Yoshio looked back in shock, but found a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life: Tsukahara Moryū of the "Ueno Country" was actually covered in blood, and he looked as if he was seriously injured, but he was still talking and laughing, as if he was extremely heroic. The group actually gave birth to admiration: the true samurai!
"Yo! His Royal Highness doesn't have a pain in his back? "Tsukahara Molong didn't forget to tease Inukai Yoshio when he passed by, but Inukai Yoshio is not so calm! hurriedly shouted: "Mo Long, why are you injured like this?" He didn't use Tsukahara-sama's address anymore, and his tone was full of anxiety. Although he was often beaten by Tsukahara Molong, he could also feel that his martial arts were constantly improving. The resentment in my heart turned into concern after seeing Tsukahara Molong injured, after all, he is the one who taught me martial arts! It's normal to fight and make trouble, but once you encounter a foreign enemy, you will quickly hug each other.
But Tsukahara Molong just smiled and looked back: "I was beaten by my wife." Then he ignored the messy dog Yoshio in the wind, and continued to gallop wildly. Laugh and laugh, this injury, if you don't receive treatment, it will really kill you, how can you have time to explain to you?
As soon as he returned to Minowa, Tsukahara Ryū went straight to Yakushi's house. The pharmacist naturally also knew about this demon king of the mixed world, because many patients were injured by him during this time, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly started treatment. However, Zhou Dashuai's vitality is amazing, he was slashed so many times by the long-tailed Jinghu, and he was still alive, and the blood had already stopped on its own. After all, Tsukahara Molong's penetrating injury is much more difficult to heal than Zhou Dashuai's skin injury.
Just when Molong Tsukahara and Zhou Dashuai were arguing, a down-and-out young man with a pale face and purple lips stumbled into the pharmacist's house: "I want to buy a medicine ......" The voice was hoarse and dry, containing extreme exhaustion, as if he would fall down in the next moment.
But the pharmacist glanced at the down-and-out young man, as if he hadn't heard it, how many children could there be in such a person? Ordinary herbs can be picked from the mountains, unless they are scarce medicinal materials, but how can he afford that kind of medicine? And as a pharmacist, the most disgusting thing is that he only buys medicine and does not see a doctor, and the outpatient fee is his main income!
"I want to buy medicine...... "The down-and-out young man spoke again, only this time his face was a little hideous.
Tsukahara Moryū glanced at him, a little unbearable, and said to the pharmacist, "Go and see what he needs." ”
"Tsukahara-sama, he should have been poisoned, and judging by his hands and feet, he shouldn't be an ordinary person." The pharmacist reminded.
Tsukahara Molong didn't answer, but beckoned to the young man: "You come over and let Lord Baicaozhai take a look, and I'll help you pay for the consultation and medicine." "Anyway, his wound is almost bandaged, and I'm afraid he won't last long.
The down-and-out young man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and carefully glanced at Tsukahara Molong, as if he wanted to imprint his face in his mind, "Thank you very much, my lord!" ”
Not to mention Baicaozhai's helpless treatment for young people, Zhou Dashuai always stood between Tsukahara Molong and the young man, and always showed a vigilant look when he looked at the young man.
"What's wrong?" Tsukahara Molong was a little puzzled, it was the first time he saw Zhou Dashuai so jealous of a person.
Zhou Dashuai shook his head and motioned for the two to talk farther away. After coming to the courtyard, Zhou Dashuai deliberately looked behind him again, and whispered to Tsukahara Molong: "He should be a ninja." ”
"Ninja?" Tsukahara Moryū's mind instantly appeared Hattori Hanzo and Wind Demon Kotaro, two gods who were calling for wind and rain in Sengoku Musou, and then Naruto Uzumaki, who was a little brainless but very hot-blooded, also came out......
"Yes, and not your average ninja. Judging from the calluses on that guy's hand, I'm afraid that the ability to use hidden weapons is very amazing. ”
Zhou Dashuai originally intended to remind Tsukahara Molong to be careful of this person, but unexpectedly, Tsukahara Molong became more and more interested in him, and he had never seen a ninja since he came to Japan's Warring States. If you put a ninja armor on him...... That's handsome! Although Tsukahara Molong knew that the ninja life in this era was actually very hard, and some people became the former ninja era. It was not until Tokugawa Ieyasu established the shogunate, and with the efforts of Hattori Hanzo and others, that the formal ninja system was gradually established. After all, without initial financial and resource support, it is difficult to train ninjas.
However, Tsukahara Molong naturally did not chill Zhou Dashuai's heart, so he chatted with Zhou Dashuai about what he gained during this time, Zhou Dashuai immediately threw those vigilances to Java Island, and excitedly told Tsukahara Molong about his experience during this time, and also analyzed in detail the style differences between the girls in Kanto from south to north. The two "chatted" for a long time, but in fact, most of the time Tsukahara Molong was listening to Zhou Dashuai's blowing, and he didn't talk much.
Seeing that it was about to be noon, Tsukahara Moryū felt the need to start lunch, so he turned around and prepared to go out to eat and drink to replenish his body, after all, he had shed so much blood today...... When he turned around, he found that the young man had been kneeling behind him for an unknown amount of time, and he and Zhou Dashuai didn't notice it? Only then did Tsukahara Molong realize that the young man in front of him was definitely a professional among ninjas.
"My lord, little Kato Duanzo, I want to serve my lord and my lord!" Kato Duanzo knelt down.
Danzo Kato? It turned out that it wasn't Hattori Hanzo and Wind Demon Kotaro...... Wait, how does this name feel so familiar? Fly Kato! Isn't that the ninja that both Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin are extremely afraid of? And I think it's almost a middle-aged uncle, right? Tsukahara Muryu once again mobilized his pitiful memories and carefully searched for information about it. But the more I think about it, the more I am shocked: if according to historical records, he was already in his sixties when he was called Fei Kato, then what kind of flexibility did he have to be when he was young? The more Tsukahara Moryū thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, it was likely that he looked old, and because he had been unemployed for a long time, he deliberately lied about his age when he "applied" the Uesugi family and the Takeda Army. However, in any case, Fei Kato's skills are indisputable in history, and they can arouse the jealousy of the Uesugi family and the Takeda Army, which is not something that ordinary people can do. What's more, although Hattori Hanzo and Wind Demon Kotaro are very famous, they don't seem to be to the extent that they can make the main family jealous.
Now, it seems that I have dug up a treasure......
However, it doesn't seem appropriate to agree like this, so you have to pretend to be the first~
"Do you know who I am? Why do you worship me as your lord? Tsukahara Molong put away the hippie smile he had with Zhou Dashuai and asked seriously.
"Hah! You are Tsukahara Moryu, a disciple of Tsukahara-sama. Although the little one is just a ninja, he still knows the reason for retribution, and the adult saves the little one's life, and this life will be handed over to the adult in the future! ”
Belch...... What's next? Do you want to continue to pretend, or test the general trend of the world like Liu Bei? Forget it, after all, he is not a professional military advisor, just a ninja, not to mention that Zhuge Wuhou's anti-heaven talent is not a cabbage on the side of the road, everyone has it. For the first time, Tsukahara Molong felt that his head was not enough, although he was very good at slashing people with a knife, and he was very good at riding a bow and horse now, but to be a lord, there was still a lot to learn......
"Oh, in that case, you are my subordinate, although in this troubled world, I can't promise you any glory and wealth, but I can swear to heaven to share the weal and woe."
"Hah!" Kato Duanzang agreed very simply, he was actually still traveling around Japan, practicing ninjutsu, and he didn't plan to find any lord. He felt that he was still young, these things were not in a hurry, and before looking for the lord, Kato Duanzo hoped to study the ultimate in ninjutsu and become the strongest ninja! But after meeting Tsukahara Molong, he hesitated. People helped them when they were at their most depressed, but what can they repay as a ninja? Along the way, I have practiced in countless ninjas, and I have had many masters guide me, so I attach great importance to the things of love and righteousness, which is also my own way of forbearance. But the question is, if I really want to be loyal to him, what will happen to my practice? However, after taking some information from Baikusai's mouth, Kato Duanzang was a little relieved: this Tsukahara Molong is not from the Uesugi family, and he will continue to follow Tsukahara Buchuan to travel the world in the future, and he can just follow him. And Tsukahara Buchuan's swordsmanship is famous all over the world, if he can be instructed, ninjutsu is only afraid that it can go to the next level. Therefore, he made up his mind to be loyal to Tsukahara Moryu.
