Half a day later, two small morning boats sailed on the river, carrying a three-star Maori family crest battle flag.

After docking, the leader of the disembarkation was none other than Hosokawa Senimaru, who went there this time to explain the reason for the borrowing to Morimoto, borrowed two small morning boats, and went to visit the pirates who were active in the Seto Inland Sea.

I didn't expect to see such a tragic scene when I came back, "What's going on!" Hosokawa Senmaru asked angrily, and anyone who came back and saw more than half of the casualties would be very angry.

"My lord, that's the case...", Hidetsuna Kamiizumi recounted the cause in 1510. The lord, all blame the subordinates for pursuing the artistic conception too much at that time, and did not protect this place, and the subordinates are willing to apologize. "Hidetsuna Kamiizumi can't afford to fall to the ground.

"My lord, it was my subordinates who only cared about the pursuit of archery, and I asked Lord Shangquan for guidance, so there was such a catastrophe. It's all the fault of his subordinates, and it has nothing to do with Lord Shangquan, and his subordinates are willing to die! After speaking, Naito Masari pulled out the waist flank and was about to commit suicide by cutting his abdomen.

Hosokawa Senomaru stepped forward and kicked away the wakicha in Naito Masari's hand: "Bastard! Who let you die! Did I agree? Do you still have me in your eyes? ”

Naito Masanari hurriedly knelt down: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates know their mistakes, please allow the lord's permission to plan~"

"Enough!" Hosokawa Senimaru interrupted his later words, sighed and said, "There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it. ”

After a pause, he glanced at the retainers and young children who were injured: "Speaking of which, I blame my family for not making proper arrangements, and I have forgotten the greed and evil in this troubled world for a long time. Grow up quickly! Remember the fact of today's blood and follow me! Peaceing this sinful world! ”

"Bah! Creak! Oh!! Everyone in the Hosokawa family shouted three times like this, and their weapons were also raised three times, as if to vent the anger in their hearts.

After shouting, Hosokawa Senmaru turned to look at a young samurai behind him, and said sarcastically, "Kobayakawa-sama, what do you think?" ”

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly dropped to a freezing point, and the samurai of the Hosokawa family looked at the Maori family and others with fierce eyes, as long as Hosokawa Senchomaru gave an order, he would kill the Maori family who accompanied the ship at any time.

"Well, Lord Yakata's words are serious, this matter is all due to the local people's misdeeds, they don't respect the commander on weekdays, and my father has long wanted to completely exterminate these extremely evil people. It's a pity that I've been peeped at by big names like Ouchi and the Nizi family, so it's too much to do but not enough. ”

[What a clever little Hayakawa Takakei, no wonder he was the brainchild who supported the Maori family in the later period, and he was wiped out in two or three sentences, do you want to take the opportunity to kill him?] It is possible to split the Maori family in the early stage of the two-river system. Thinking of this, Hosokawa Senkamaru finally gave up the idea of killing Kobayakawa Takake, first, it was not conducive to his own later deployment; Second, historical facts have proved that even if Kobayakawa Takakei died, it would not have much impact, because in history, Kobayakawa Takakei had no heirs, and Mori Yuan simply passed on the ninth son, Kobayakawa Hidebo, to him and continued to maintain the Liangchuan system.

"In that case, shouldn't the Maori family be thankful? Helping the Maori family clear up the accumulated shortcomings? Hosokawa said with a twist.

"This is natural, on behalf of the Mori family, I would like to thank Yagata-sama for his help, and I will definitely be responsible for everything related to the itinerary on the way, so please rest assured." Kobayakawa Takashi bowed slightly and said.

[Damn!] This was originally agreed upon by the two families, but now it is actually taken out as a reward, and there is a slight hint of threat, but even so, if you don't let some blood come out, I will be a human being in vain. Hosokawa Clevermaru rolled his eyes and said: "This is the agreement between the two families, could it be that the right horse-headed lord is a no-show person?" Use the agreed facts to prevaricate me? In this case, the family took their leave, and after returning to Kyoto, the family prepared to invite Konoe Sekihaku-sama to talk about what they had seen and heard on the road, and by the way, they praised the sincerity of the Mori family. ”

Kobayakawa Takakei's face turned white when he heard this, he thought that the head of the Hosokawa family had already existed in name only, and the Maori family was just polite because of his background earlier, but he didn't expect him to be so close to the imperial court. You must know that Mori Yuan originally planned to destroy the Ouchi family, and then took the opportunity to apply for the official position of Mori Takamoto from the four doctors.

"Ah, how can it, Yagatata-sama is too fond of joking, and this great help to my Maori family will be remembered by my family and will never be forgotten. In addition, the family offered another 500 as a thank you, and Manwang Yagata accepted it. ”

[Cut, that's stingy.] Thinking about it, the words should still be polite, and in the end, bargaining, in addition to 500 kan, these two small hayafunes also belonged to the name of the Hosokawa family.

Looking at the back of Kobayakawa Takakei leaving, Hosokawa Senmaru spat on the ground: "Phew! I'll settle accounts with you kid later. "Looking back at the group of embarrassed sailors on the boat, "What do you see?" In the future, you will be the sailor of my Hosokawa family, if anyone plays tricks on me behind my back, I will destroy your whole family! ”

The 40 sailors on the boat were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the villain didn't dare to speak.

"Humph! It's your blessing that you follow my Hosokawa family, forget it, get up. Yahachiro! Each of them will be rewarded with 100 cents, and if they report those with bad intentions, they will be rewarded consistently. ”

Honda Masanobu knelt down on one knee: "Yes, my subordinates receive orders!" ”

"In addition, Hikogoro, I'll give you a small boat, which will be responsible for escorting the injured people, as well as women and children, to Kaimachi, and order Lisa of Kaimachi and Yi'an from Kyoto to take care of them." After speaking, Hosokawa Senomaru Shushu handed a letter to Hikogoro Nagasaka.

When Miko Tian Fei Mamoru heard that he was going to send them all away, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "My lord, my subordinates are only skin injuries, and they are not in the way." Besides, in this case, the guards around the lord are too weak, so I implore the lord to let his subordinates stay. As soon as the words fell, others also said that they would not leave.

"Okay, it naturally has my intention to let you go to recuperate, pay attention to the wound not to become inflamed, you have all done emergency treatment, right? There's no vaccine for tetanus right now. Hosokawa told them to rest and not move.

"Broken? Wind? "I didn't understand, but I was still touched by Hosokawa Senamaru's care.

Hosokawa Senchimaru and his entourage were separated at the mouth of the Ota River, one sailed to Kaimachi to settle down, and the other sailed to the Itsukushima Strait, although the guards only left Hidetsuna Ueizumi, Hattori Baocho, Shingo Soji, Kida Keikane, and Naito Masari were five, but they were all masters, not to mention a sword master.
