The recent events in the Mutsu area, although Soharu Tsugawa has received a report, is now also lacking in skills.

Seeing that spring ploughing is about to begin, this also means that the time for the Tsugawa family to send troops to the Hazen area is not far away, so during this time, Tsugawa Soji is busy preparing the troops in the territory, and the affairs of the Mutsu area are handled by Togo Yoshisuke and others.

However, the recent news from the Mutsu area has been almost all bad, which makes Soji Tsugawa very nervous in his spare time.

The chaos in the Mutsu area can be seen as a reflection of the current situation of the Tsugawa family! If the Tsugawa family can't handle it properly this time, then the Tsugawa family's territory won't want to be stable in the future. And now it is at the critical juncture when the Tsukawa family is about to send troops to the Hazen area, and if the rear is unstable, Tsugawa Soji will not have the confidence.

"My lord! Abe Endai has received news that the Hatta Kozan have been subdued by Lord Abe, and the latest information on the attack of bandits in the Mutsu area has been obtained, so please take a look! "Ueno Castle Tsukawa Yashiki, Tsugawa Soji was holding the newborn Tokyo Maru and amusing on the side, at this time Yajima Tadabei slowly came to Tsugawa Soji's side and handed a letter to Tsugawa Soji.

Tsugawa Soji hurriedly handed the Tokyo Maru to Takizawa Lola, who was kneeling on the side, and then took the letter in Yajima Tadabei and read it, but as Tsugawa Soji deepened, his face became more and more ugly.

Sensing that Tsugawa Soji's expression was abnormal, Takizawa Lola on the side asked with concern, "What's wrong, Your Highness?" Did something happen? ”

Hearing Takizawa Lola's words, Tsugawa Soji came back to his senses, and then reluctantly showed a smile, and then said apologetically, "It's not a big deal, but the family can't accompany you anymore." ”

"It's okay! The affairs of the family are important, so go yourself, Your Highness. Takizawa Lola said very sensibly.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, then stood up and turned his back to Yajima Tadabei and said, "Immediately notify Nozawa and Kuro to come to the castle tower to see me!" ”

"Hah!" Yajima Tadabei was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly.

.......

Ueno Castle Castle Town, due to the passing of winter, the castle town has begun to come alive again! Due to the growing strength of the Tsugawa family and the economic policies that were very favorable to merchants, many merchants from near and far came to the Tsugawa family to do business.

Walking in the castle town of Ueno Castle, Yajima Tadabei looked around from time to time, as if looking for something.

"Alas! Who the hell is this Nozawa and Kuro, it doesn't look like a major minister in the family, at least I haven't even seen the banner of my lord, where can I find it? Looking at the dense crowd around him, Yajima Tadabei felt a big head.

Just now, Soji Tsugawa asked Yajima Tadabei to call Nozawa and Kuro to the castle tower. At first glance, I was stunned when I heard the name Nozawa and Kuro, but then I remembered that there was indeed such a samurai in the family, who was said to be born as a ninja, and it seemed that he was still the biological father of Jiro Iwaki???

However, due to the importance and secrecy of the Blue Coat Society, apart from Tsugawa Soji, I'm afraid there is no other person in the Tsugawa family who knows the true identities of Nozawa and Kuro and others. Most of the retainers were like Yajima Tadabei, who only thought that Nozawa and Kuro were ordinary samurai in the family, and they didn't think about anything else.

Usually, only Nozawa and Kuro are ordinary samurai in the family, so Yajima Tadabei only knows that there is such a person, and the others don't know anything, and now he suddenly wants to find this person, Yajima Tadabei suddenly didn't know where to start. And if you go back and ask Soharu Tsugawa, wouldn't it seem that you are very incompetent?

You must know that the position of Qiben Zhongbi, in addition to the daily security of Tsugawa Soji, usually plays more of a role like an "assistant". If you can't even do this little thing, then wouldn't you be very derelict in the eyes of Tsugawa Soji???

Just when Yajima Tadabei was at a loss, he suddenly saw a person, which made Yajima Tadashibei's eyes suddenly brighten!

"It's Shinkuro Iwaki up ahead?" Yajima Tadabei trotted all the way to a middle-aged man and asked with a smile.

Iwaki Shinkuro also turned his head suspiciously, and when he saw Yajima Tadabei, Iwaki Shinkuro seemed to remember that this was the head of Tsugawa Soji's banner? So Iwaki Shinkuro didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted, "This adult, dare to ask what's the matter with stopping the villain?" ”

Although Jiro Iwaki is a samurai of the Tsugawa family, Shinkuro Iwaki is just an "outdated" ninja who can only call himself a villain when facing Yajima Tadahei.

Yajima Tadabei hurriedly said, "There is a samurai named Nozawa and Kurou in this family, and I heard that it is an old acquaintance of Shinkuro?" ”

"Uh....." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Iwaki Shinkuro's face, but he replied immediately, "That's true, do you want to find Nozawa and Kuro?" ”

"Exactly!" Yajima Tadabei said eagerly, "Does Shinkuro know where Nozawa-sama is now?" ”

Iwaki Shinkuro thought for a moment, and then replied, "At this time, where should you gamble with Kuro?" Adults may wish to look for a few sake breweries in the castle town, and you may be able to find one. ”

"Thank you!" Yajima nodded before turning to leave.

Half an hour later, Yajima Tadabei pulled the slightly drunk Nozawa and Kuro out of an izakaya, looking at the drunken Nozawa and Kuro, Yajima Tadabei couldn't help but say, "What kind of system is this Nozawa and Kuro, I don't know what the lord called such a person to do!" ”

But thinking about it, Yajima Tadabei didn't say much, and directly took Nozawa and Kuro into the castle tower.

"My lord! Nozawa-sama brings! ”

Tsugawa Soji, who was sitting on the main seat and looking down at something, quickly raised his head after hearing Yajima Tadahei's words, and then said, "Tadahei, you go down first." ”

"Hah!" Yajima Tadabei hurriedly retired.

When Yajima Tadabei walked out of the castle tower, Nozawa and Kuro, who were still drunk just now, suddenly had a gleam in their eyes, and then they stood up straight, where was the drunkenness just now?

"Nozawa and Kuro have met the lord!" Nozawa and Kurou bowed to Tsugawa Soji with clear faces.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then said with a smile, "Yokuro, you can pretend, I don't know how many samurai in your family can fool!" Ha ha! ”

"There's no way around it." Nozawa and Kuro also smiled and said, "The mission below is an extremely secret mission, and the mediocrity of the usual performance will not attract attention at all, which is also conducive to the work below." ”

"I just don't know what the lord commanded me to come down?" Nozawa and Kuro then asked.

After Nozawa finished talking to Kuro, Soji Tsugawa said with a solemn face, "There is indeed something that you need to do." ”

"Over there in the Mutsu area, things are getting a little out of hand."
