Syllable!!!

The incandescent lights on the roof glowed a miserable white glow, illuminating the room.

This is a well-laid mourning hall, a weak girl gently caresses the crystal coffin, looks at the peaceful man inside with soft eyes, and mutters to herself: "Do you know how much I have fought to save your whole body?" How steep has it been? But for your sake, I'm willing to ......"

"Dada, dada." Suddenly, two crisp knocks came from the door, waking up Xia Xiang in his sleep.

At this moment, "You only have one chance to be resurrected" echoed in my mind, and it was that strange dream again.

"Who!" Xia Xiang struggled to get up, feeling dizzy and swollen, and subconsciously groped with his right hand, trying to find a tool for self-defense.

The "Squeak" barrier was opened, revealing a masked man in a ninja costume in the moonlight.

Seeing the ninja enter the house silently and close the door with his backhand, Xia Xiang pretended to be calm and said, "Who are you?" "The heart is pounding violently, the face is pale, and the fingertips are embedded in the palms of the hands.

"Hosokawa Yakata-sama is so bold, aren't you afraid that you will be an assassin below?" A cold male voice came from the mask.

As soon as he heard this, Xia Xiang's hanging heart was put down, and he thought: Xiao'er, you are still pretending to be thirteen with me, Lao Tzu has watched more TV series than you have eaten. Assassin? Assassins are most afraid of being discovered! As soon as they came up, they either started directly, or shouted: The erector is coming! Or next year today is your festival day. Still sitting here with you? It's like a report.

"It's Hattori-samaru Iwami!" Xia Xiang said with certainty that since he can come, it means that the job has been taken, and the principle of ninjas is that they must do the work, and if they don't do it, they will die.

"Ugh!" The masked man asked in surprise, "How dare Yagatata-sama be so sure?" Even if you're not an assassin, you don't necessarily have to be Hattori-sama, right? ”

"Humph! Assassin? I'm afraid I'm already dead! As for whether it's Hattori-sama? Do you think a lowly shinobi is qualified to sit here and talk to me! Xia Xiang scolded angrily, not giving the masked man face at all.

The masked man trembled, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes!" In the lower Hattori Masaburo Hocho, see Hosokawa Yagata-sama! If you are rude, you hope that the adults will be responsible! The reprimand just now reminded Hattori of the previous British lord Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, who was also so calm and confident.

Whew~~ Sure enough, it was Hattori Security Chief, Xia Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he dared to be so tough was because he knew that in this era, ninjas were tools without dignity, no matter what the employer's character was, he would give up his life for the employer, it was really a painful and happy profession.

"Forget it!" Xia Xiang also said generously: "Since you are here, please ask Lord Iwami to do his best to fulfill the trust of his family." ”

"Yes. When will I escort you out of Kyoto? Hattori asked respectfully.

"Go tonight, lest you have too many dreams at night. Wake up Dr. Yoshida, and the guards outside the door will be handed over to you. Xia Xiang made a decisive decision and got up to clean up. Well, I found that I didn't seem to have anything to take, so I was really poor.

"Yes! The guards outside had been overturned, and they went out to kill them. Hattori got up and went out, and after a while, he heard another voice outside the door: "Kaiyu Yagata-sama, the outside is ready, please follow and leave." ”

"Yes! Great work. Xia Xiang got up cleanly and waved his hand without taking a penny.

Walking all the way to the outskirts of Kyoto, I saw a group of black-clothed ninjas, surrounded by a pair of men, women and a child waiting at the intersection, and when I saw Xia Xiang and his party, I hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Who is this?" Xia Xiang asked the strange man in the crowd suspiciously, the woman he knew, it was Yoshida Sogui's wife.

"Villain Saemon, see Hosokawa Yakata-sama! This is Inuko Ushichiyo, eight years old this year, and I implore Yagata to take it in, and the villain is willing to die of loyalty! The man touched his head to the ground, and his tone was very humble.

"Oh?" Xia Xiang was still wondering where he jumped out of a die-hard fan.

Hattori Baochang explained in a timely manner: "It was this Saemon who found Zaoshimo, who was not in Okazaki Castle because of business, and Saemon actually shouted along the street, 'Hattori-samaru Iwami, your mother called you home for dinner.'" The meaning of the word is short and easy to understand, and it is catchy, and it is widely circulated, which is why it can be found so quickly. Today, I also expected that Lord Yakata-sama would definitely depart, so I am waiting here. ”

"Oh?" Xia Xiang feels that this person is very sensitive, and it may be good to accept it, the key is that he has an eight-year-old son, who can be cultivated from an early age.

"It's all Yagata-sama's strategy! I implore Yagata to take him in, but the villain was actually a samurai of Ogasawara Shinano Morichotoki-sama, Nakajima Shiro Saemon Akinobu, but because of the family road in the middle of the road the year before last, he was exiled to Kyoto, and in order to make a living, he abandoned his samurai identity to go into business, and now he is in charge of the Wu clothing business under the head of Yoshida. Saemon quickly clarified, and emphasized his original samurai identity, it seems that he is also a person who is not willing to be lonely.

"En~~ Saemon!"

"Yes!"

"The family will temporarily appoint you as the royal merchant of the Hosokawa family, and when I am safe, I will be rewarded separately."

"Yes! Thank you, lord, I am willing to die for my family! Please get on the horse, and the villain will be the pawn of the lord. Saemon immediately changed his tune, and got up to lead a horse, which seemed to be paid out of his own pocket, what a man with seven tricks.

"Please get on the horse, and escort Yagata-sama to Omi Province." Hattori said closely.

"Good! Hahaha, I finally escaped, Smart Pill, Smart Pill, I really didn't insult my young name. Then from today onwards, I'm Hosokawa Senmaru, and it's just getting started! After Xia Xiang finished speaking, the group disappeared into the vast night, and Hosokawa Senchimaru's name will accompany him in the days to come, in this chaotic Warring States, to create his own era.

On the road to Omi Province, a man and a child were hurrying on the road, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind them, and a group of cavalry flying the banner of the Miyoshi family was dimly seen.

"Stop!" The pursuers behind shouted loudly.

The man paused, then hurriedly picked up the child and ran forward.

"Stand up!" The pursuers soon caught up and surrounded the two men.

"Huh?" The man was at a loss, and the child was so frightened that he curled up behind the man, lowering his head and not daring to look directly at the approaching Miyoshi family samurai.

"Who are you! What the hell! Lift your head up! The Miyoshi samurai led by him came over fiercely and grabbed the man's collar, and spit on Xingzi's face.

"Huh? Adult, villain~~ The villain is a traveling merchant in Kyoto, yes~~ The old mother in the family died, so he was in a hurry to see her old man for the last time. The man spoke in a slurred manner, his eyes flustered.

"Huh? Traveling merchants in Kyoto? So who is this kid! Seeing the man's suspicious appearance, the samurai pulled the child over and carefully identified it as a child of about eight years old.

"This is the dog, who went home with the villain to visit." The man gradually calmed down, as if what he said was true.

"Have you ever seen a man with a five-year-old child?" The samurai thought for a moment and then asked.

"No~~ I didn't see it." The man bowed his head and replied respectfully.

"Humph! Take it back! Strict interrogation! The others keep chasing me! ”
