Outside the Yashiki, the leader of the Hatta Armor, a man with a very nervous face was looking around anxiously, his hands were clasped tightly together, and he rubbed them a few times from time to time, as if he was worried and worried about something.

Abe Enta's heart was unusually apprehensive at this time, after all, for today's events, in fact, Abe Enta himself was not sure.

The incident dates back to more than ten days ago, inside the castle tower of Ueno Castle.

Abe Enta had already pleaded guilty to Tsugawa Soji with the determination of "death", but he didn't expect that there would be a chance to make up for his mistakes in the end?

"My lord! I, Abe Enta, can have today, all because of the lord's reliance and trust! Now that such a thing has happened to the Yamaguchi people, they are also very helpless! Since the lord is willing to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes in the next time, then please speak up! Enta Abe looked resolute and looked into the eyes of Soji Tsugawa.

Soji Tsugawa smiled and didn't answer directly, but suddenly asked, "Enta, are you familiar with the bandits in the Mutsu area?" ”

"Bandits? Mutsu area? "Abe Enta was obviously asked by such a sudden question from Soji Tsugawa!

However, what Soharu Tsugawa didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, Abe Enta was like eating an "S", and said loudly to Soji Tsugawa with an ugly face, "Lord!" Although Zai Xia was a bandit before, but since he was taken in by the lord, Zai Ke has never been a bandit again! The bandits in the Mutsu area must have nothing to do with it, so the lord must be aware of it! ”

"What the hell is this!" Looking at Abe Enta, who is obviously not on the same channel as himself, Soji Tsugawa can't cry or laugh.

In fact, you can't blame Abe Enta completely, mainly because Tsugawa Soji's battle today is a little scary, which makes Abe Enta who is already consciously responsible for the loss even more worried, and now he suddenly heard Tsugawa Soji talking about the bandits in Mutsu, Abe Madota thought for a moment that someone had framed him or Tsugawa Soji didn't know where he had colluded with the bandits in the Mutsu area?

O conscience of heaven and earth!

Abe Enta said that he would never carry this pot.

"Okay, Yuanta, this family didn't mean that!" Soji Tsugawa shook his head, and was about to explain, when Soji Tsugawa suddenly changed his words and asked directly, "Didn't you hear about what happened in the Mutsu area in Antler County?" ”

"Uh........." Abe said with a flushed face, "this... This one.... Very little is really known below. ”

"Made! After doing it for a long time, Lao Tzu said so much here, completely playing the piano to the cow! Soji Tsugawa resisted the idea of kicking Abe out of the way, and then tried to control his emotions and told Abe Enta as it had happened in the Mutsu area during this time.

After listening to Tsugawa Soji's narration, Abe Madota suddenly realized, "Does the lord want to get some information about the bandits in the Mutsu area from here?" ”

"Exactly." Soji Tsugawa replied with a black line on his head.

"I see!" Enta Abe nodded, then paused, and said slowly, "Speaking of the Mutsu area...... It is mainly divided into rock and wood people........ Among them, Hatta Koshino....... In this way, this is probably the specific situation of the bandits in the Mutsu area. ”

"So, even if you integrate the entire Mutsu area, the number of bandits won't exceed 1,000?" After patiently listening to Abe's words, Tsugawa Soji continued to ask.

"If you were only young, it would be true." Abe Enta said with a look of certainty.

Hearing Abe's affirmative reply, Soji Tsugawa suddenly clapped his hands, and said excitedly, "Sure enough, as my family expected, these bandits in the Mutsu area really have a problem!" ”

"Enta, your mission this time is simple, it is to send you to various parts of the Mutsu region to convince these bandits to join your family! The conditions are similar to those of you Yamaguchi people who joined our family back then, and I believe that you should have a deep understanding of this, so you don't need to explain it in detail. Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

"It's just that simple?" Abe Enta couldn't believe it at all, after all, if there was really an envoy from the Tsugawa family to "recruit" these bandits, there would be no need for his own lobbying at all, and naturally a large number of thieves would take the initiative to jump into the bowl of the Tsugawa family.

"Of course it's not that simple!" Soji Tsugawa continued, "After convincing these bandits, you immediately integrate these bandits and secretly investigate these fake bandits until you find their lair or important stronghold!" Then he will cooperate with Togo Yoshiyu, and be sure to wipe out these bastards to his family! ”

"Of course, if you can successfully complete this task, not only will the family not hold you accountable, but will reward you heavily." Soji Tsugawa said, patting Abe on the shoulder.

Abe Enta hurriedly replied loudly, "Don't worry, my lord, I, Abe Enta, will definitely do my best to complete this matter, and I will definitely not disappoint my lord again!" ”

.....

Thinking of the Haikou he boasted in front of Soji Tsugawa, Abe Enta felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment!

In fact, before coming to Hatta Koshi, Abe Enta first went to find Iwaki in Tsugaru Prefecture. However, to Abe's surprise, Iwaki didn't have much interest in the Tsukawa family's recruitment at all, and even almost drove Abe out with a knife.

Actually, this is also very understandable! Compared with those weak bandits who are in danger, the Iwaki people have the largest number, and they have been entrenched in the Mutsu area for many years, and they even have some "territories" of their own.

Although the Tsugawa family is now powerful, it is naturally a good thing to join the Tsugawa family and become a samurai, but after all, there are only a few samurai, except for a few leaders, the others can only be ordinary ashigaru! It's better to continue to be a bandit with a "future.....

Hit a wall with Iwaki people, and Abe's confidence was hit. If the Iwaki and Hatta clans fail to persuade them to surrender, then the other bandit forces in the Mutsu region will probably not agree to this matter. It's small to lose face on your own, and the main thing is not to be able to complete the task of Soharu Tsugawa ....

It just so happened that at this time, Abe Enta suddenly remembered a story that his father had told him, and the protagonist seemed to be the current leader of the Hatta armor. So Abe Enta returned to Changniucheng in Antler County non-stop, took this thing that his father called a token with him, and then came to the cottage of Hatta Kozhong.

Just as Abe Madota was walking outside the house full of anxiety, a burly middle-aged samurai with a handsome face slowly walked to Abe's side, "Who are you?" What does this have to do with you? ”

It was only at this time that Enta Abe was able to raise his head and see the face of the visitor clearly, so he .....
