Chapter 186 Bestow the name Zongzheng

Keiji Maeda saw that the attack did not work after a few moves, and now he has put all his mind on Ishikawa Goemon, where he dares to have a little contempt, he really didn't expect that this inconspicuous ninja in front of him could have such a strong martial arts. (.novel.com, please remember me)

Maeda Keiji Zhilu said, this person is the general under the command of the lord, the disciple of the leader of the ninja army, Bee Suga Masakatsu, this Ishikawa Goemon just studied with him for a few years, and he can be on par with himself in martial arts, and the fight is evenly matched, and Bee Suga Masakatsu's martial arts are still good?

Keiji Maeda couldn't help but be secretly frightened, when did the ninjas become so strong, could it be that the slightly more powerful ninjas were all under the command of the lord? He has now completely abandoned his contempt for ninjas, and he has also realized that there is really no wasted person under the lord's command, and now he can't even win easily against Ishikawa Goemon, so it seems that he can't easily win against the Ishikawa Goemon, so it seems that he can't talk about the family's dedication, and his martial arts can only be regarded as middle and lower at home, no wonder the lord doesn't let himself become a leading general, just by virtue of his own ability, he can become a close attendant, and it is estimated that the lord will accept himself in the face of the fourth uncle.

Thinking of this, Maeda Keiji had doubts about his martial arts for the first time, it seems that the rumors that the Takayama family does not accept people should be true, if so, he can't be negligent in practicing, otherwise, I'm afraid I can only be a close attendant for the rest of my life. Maeda Keiji really can't tolerate the result of relying on relationships and going through the back door to get out of the Takayama family.

If Maeda Toshiie or Watanabe Moritsuna were present, they would definitely find that Keiji Maeda's marksmanship had improved one step further and had become more and more calm.

Keiji Maeda is still launching onslaught, and Ishikawa Goemon is still resisting, but invisibly, he finds that the pressure is getting bigger and bigger, and Ishikawa Goemon knows in his heart that if he continues like this, I'm afraid that he will lose in ten or twenty rounds.

This can't be blamed for his lack of martial arts, after all, as a ninja, in addition to martial arts, there are many things to learn, and there can be such a level in martial arts, among the ninjas of this era, with his martial arts, he can already be regarded as the most top-notch, and the wooden knife is not his weapon, and the secret weapon he is good at has not been used, otherwise let alone Maeda Keiji, even if he is replaced by Maeda Toshiya, he may not be able to win.

Compared with Keiji Maeda, who has calmed down, Ishikawa Goemon is starting to be a little flustered, he can't fail, if he fails, maybe the lord will let himself go back and continue to practice like last time, although it's not a big deal, but how can Ishikawa Goemon accept the result of being rejected twice by the lord. But the more he thought about it, the more pressure he felt on his heart, and even if he wanted to concentrate again, it would be difficult to do so.

Keiji Maeda saw that his swordsmanship was no longer the same as when he first started the competition, and now there were signs of disarray, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, as long as he was careful, this victory was a foregone conclusion.

I saw the wooden spear in Maeda Keiji's hand flying up and down, the weapon in his hand already had an advantage, and he was much older than Ishikawa Goemon, so he was much higher than the other party in terms of strength.

At the beginning, Ishikawa Goemon could still fight with him, but after the two fought for more than 20 rounds, his physical strength was already a little unable to keep up, and even the layman Takayama clan who was watching the battle from the sidelines had already discovered that it would not be long before Ishikawa Goemon would be defeated.

Now, the clan has some understanding of his martial arts, seeing that he can fight with Maeda Keiji without using hidden weapons and other means, only because of his young and weak strength, it is slightly inferior, at his age, to have such martial arts, the clan is already very satisfied, if it is not restricted, the overall combat power of Ishikawa Goemon will surpass Maeda Keiji. In the future, if he can be protected by his side, how can the idle people get close?

The clan just wanted to see how Ishikawa Goemon's martial arts were, and he didn't plan to see what the outcome would be, so after the goal was achieved, he only heard the clan say to him: "Okay, you two stop." ”

After listening to this, Ishikawa Goemon finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after blocking another attack by Keiji Maeda, he immediately took three steps back, threw the wooden sword in his hand aside, and said to Keiji Maeda: "Lord Maeda, it's really a good martial art, if you compare it again, you will lose in the next place, admire." ”,

Although this is just a competition, but Maeda Keiji has not had such a happy fight for a long time, he can't help but secretly complain in his heart about the clan, this stop shouting is really time, he has five or six more moves to defeat this kid, however, Maeda Keiji thought about it again, although this kid's martial arts are slightly worse than his own, but it is not bad, and in the future, he will also serve the lord and the father, so it is better to save him some face. After all, you still need his help in the future, and you must not stiffen the relationship, anyway, there will be more time to compare privately in the future.

Keiji Maeda couldn't help but think that if the lord was protected by this Ishikawa Goemon Gate, then he would be able to visit the sparrow house often in the future without worrying about the safety of the lord. Thinking of this, I saw Keiji Maeda put away the gun, hugged his fist to Ishikawa Goemon, and said politely: "Lord Ishikawa is polite, if the adult uses ninja methods, then he will not be an adult's opponent." ”

At this moment, in addition to being satisfied with Ishikawa Goemon's martial arts, the clan was also very pleased with the change in Maeda Keiji's attitude, and only heard the clan say, "You two come in with me." With that, the clan turned around and walked into the hall.

After the two of them sat down, they only heard the clan first say to Ishikawa Goemon: "Your performance has been recognized by me, and from now on, you are secretly protecting my shadow, and appointing you as a close attendant, thirty years old." If there is meritorious service in the future, it will be rewarded again. ”

After listening to this, Ishikawa Goemon was very excited, and after four years of hard training, he finally got the approval of his lord, which proves that his hard work in the past few years has not been in vain.

It only takes four years to have the current ability, which is not only the credit of Wasuka Masakatsu, but also inseparable from Ishikawa Goemon's own efforts, but this is not the most important, the most important thing is his talent, if it is someone else, under the same conditions, let alone four years, even if it is eight years of penance, it is impossible to reach his current level, this is for what the vast majority of ninjas throughout their lives, they cannot improve their ninjutsu to the level of the middle ninja, which is in addition to the fact that they do not have a famous teacher to guide them, but what they lack is understanding,

Ishikawa Goemon was excited, and hurriedly replied: "Thank you lord, as long as your subordinates survive for a day, you won't let your lord encounter any danger." ”

Seeing his resolute attitude, the clan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, from now on, he no longer has to worry about his own safety, but Ishikawa Goemon has not yet been subdued, and there are many inconveniences in acting, but now that time is pressing, it seems that he can only be wronged, thinking of this, I only heard Shizong say: "Ishikawa Goemon, now that you are twelve, you have reached the age of Motofu, are you willing to accept it now?" ”

Since Ishikawa Goemon became a ninja, he never thought that there would be such a day, he knew that only a samurai would have the gift of the original costume, like a lowly ninja who didn't even have to think about it, but although he was doing the work of a ninja, he could enjoy the gift of the original costume, which doesn't mean that the lord gave him the identity of a samurai? And the lord said to himself back then that he wanted to improve the status of ninjas, which seems to be true.

Now Ishikawa Goemon is not only grateful to the lord, but also more determined to repay with death, and Maeda Keiji beside him, is a little surprised by this matter, he really can't understand, how can the lord be a ninja yuanfu, this is completely beyond common sense, others usually always say that they behave strangely, it seems that this lord's behavior is much weirder than his own.

I saw Ishikawa Goemon hurriedly take two steps forward, knelt solemnly in the middle of the hall, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "My subordinates deeply feel the great kindness of the lord, and they will repay him with death." ”

"Okay, I'll officially give you the status of a samurai now, but now that time is pressing, it's too late to engage in all those red tapes, only keep everything simple, and I'll crown you now."

After speaking, the clan said to Maeda Keiji again: "Take the knife, the crown comes." ”

After Keiji Maeda retrieved the razor and crown, Ishikawa Goemon hurriedly removed the Hachima ninja helmet on his head and put it aside, and his immature and resolute face was revealed.

After everything was completed, the clan returned to the main throne and said: "Now that you have been in the Yuanfu, I will give you and me a word in the name, as the name of the Yuanfu, and this time I will discuss the alliance and marriage of the two families with Asai Nagamasa, so go to him again, and in the future, you will be called Ishikawa Somasa." ”

Ishikawa Goemon said excitedly, "Thank you Lord for the name." ”

He was very satisfied with his name as Ishikawa Somasa, and Ishikawa Goemon couldn't help but think that although the master was also given the name of the lord, it was the word Zhengsheng, and his name contained the word in the lord's name, what a glorious thing.

The Yuan service has been completed, only to see the clan Zong Zhengse said: "The lord has ordered me to go to Kita-Omi Kotani Castle to discuss the alliance and marriage of the two families, this time, Maeda Keiji is following by his side, and Ishikawa Goemon is leading ten ninjas in the ninja army to protect in secret, I have decided to set off early tomorrow morning, and the two of you will go down to prepare." ”

"It's the lord." The two replied in unison, Ishikawa Goemon was the first time to travel with the lord, so he seemed very excited, but Maeda Keiji felt melancholy about the imminent departure, and he finally really experienced the fun of the sparrow house, which he hadn't enjoyed enough and was about to leave Owari, so he seemed a little listless.

The clan didn't care what they were thinking, and after finishing speaking, they went straight into the inner room.
