Chapter 188: Cross-examination
"Shinji, what do you say is the origin of this group?" In Takahashi Castle, Takahashi Kokoku said to Shinji Hanada beside him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After these days of cultivation, Shinji Hanada has been able to persist in 20 moves under Takahashi Xingguo without defeat.
"My lord, no matter whether this group of people came to join their own family or not, it is unlikely that your subordinates think that they were sent by the Ono family." Shinji Hanada replied.
Takahashi Xingguo nodded and said, "That's true, it's already winter in front of you." Even if the Onodera family made any moves, they would not choose to do it at this time. And the Onodera family is newly defeated, and it is unlikely that there will be any new moves. ”
"But you can't be unguarded, the last time the lord was in Dongshan Temple, the hinterland of the family was attacked. So now we can't be careless. Takahashi Xingguo said with a solemn expression, "Beima, I want to go and see it myself!" ”
"Yes!"
.............
Takahashi Kokuni rode a horse, accompanied by Shinji Hanada and several flags, and soon arrived at the checkpoint of Mt. Shimono.
"I've seen Takahashi-sama!" Seeing that Takahashi Xingguo actually came in person, the Zhuxing Quan Guard, who was originally sitting on the ground resting, hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Hmm!" Takahashi Xingguo turned over and dismounted, looked at the wise Mitsuhisa and his party in front of him, and said, "Is that them?" ”
"Hah!" Zhuxing Quan Bingwei nodded, "They claim to be ronins from Mino, and they have come to Xianbei County to join their family. ”
"Mino?" Takahashi Xingguo frowned, "Mino is so far away, how can anyone run to the remote Dewa?" And you have to take refuge in your own family! ”
"Lord, why don't you let that group of people send someone to interrogate you carefully?" Shinji Hanada suggested at this time.
Takahashi Xingguo nodded, "Although I may not be able to ask anything, but it can only be like this at present." ”
Not far away, Wise Mitsuhisa and his party were almost resting.
Yuanshan Xiaojing was very puzzled and asked, "Lord Wise, why don't you directly reveal our identity?" That way we don't have to wait in the cold wind. ”
"There's no need to worry, it's not time for us to show up." Akechi Mitsuhisa said with a smile, "I don't know if those people on the other side are from the Tsugawa family, so I can't easily tell the other party our details." ”
"And even if it's really a member of the Tsugawa family, we might as well wait until we meet Tsugawa Soji to explain our intentions, so that we can take the opportunity to observe the situation of the Tsugawa family and the person of Tsugawa Soji. After all, the information we learned from outsiders has not been confirmed in person. It's a matter of the young master, and you can't be careless. Wise Guangjiu said calmly.
Here, Wise Mitsujiu also has some careful thoughts. He planned to wait until he had seen Soji Tsugawa in person before deciding whether to make his intentions known. Because if Tsugawa Soji is not as powerful as rumored, I'm afraid there is still a certain danger in pinning Kumagomaru on the Tsugawa family. That's why Wise Mitsujiu had some hesitation in this matter.
After listening to Wise Guangjiu's words, Yuanshan Xiaojing hurriedly nodded and said, "It is worthy of being a wise adult, and it is indeed more thoughtful than the next." ”
"Yes, yes!" Kinoshita Heijiro and others also chimed in. None of the people here are stupid, so as soon as Wise Guangjiu mentioned it, they understood Wise Guangjiu's intentions and agreed with it.
At this time, Yoshino Kotaro walked quickly to Akechi Mitsuhisa's side and said, "Akechi-sama, it seems that there is a big man from the Tsugawa family, let's send someone to interrogate." ”
"Big shots? Could it be that Soji Tsugawa himself came? The wise Shibei said excitedly.
Yoshino Kotaro shook his head and said, "My lord, it shouldn't be Soji Tsugawa." The age of the visitor is much older, and the color of the person who came is also different from the rumored Haguro Harumi of Soji Tsugawa. ”
"But I guess at least I'm an important minister of the Tsugawa family." Kotaro Yoshino added.
"Hmm." Akechi Guangjiu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let me go." ”
"Uncle, let me go!" The wise ten guards on the side said suddenly.
"You're going?" Wise Light said in surprise: "No, no, no, I'm afraid that if you say something leaks, it will be troublesome." ”
"No, uncle, don't worry. I'll let Kotaro follow me, and nothing will happen. Wise Shibei said eagerly.
"It's ........ All right. Be careful with your words, don't be too harsh, but don't be timid. Wise Mitsuhisa instructed.
Wise Shibei nodded heavily, and said firmly, "Don't worry! ”
Not long after, Akechi Shibei and Yoshino Kotaro came to Takahashi Kokuni and others.
"Wise Jubei (Kotaro Yoshino) has seen an adult, but I don't know what to call an adult?" Wise Jubei and Yoshino Kotaro saluted, then asked.
Takahashi Xingguo said slowly: "The general of the Tsugawa family and the lord of Takahashi Castle, Takahashi Xingguo!" ”
"It turned out to be Takahashi-sama, long admiration and long admiration!" Wise Ten Guards said with a grin.
Takahashi Xingguo smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect my fame to spread to the distant Minong." Ha ha! ”
Hearing Takahashi Xingguo's words, the wise Shibei blushed, and said slowly, "I don't know if the adults called us here and wanted to ask about something?" ”
"Hehe, I heard that you are here to join our family, I don't know where you learned that your family is selecting talents?" Takahashi Xingguo said slowly.
Wise Shibei hurriedly replied, "It's not a secret, this Yoshino Kotaro is actually a person from Dewa Province, so Kotaro still knows a lot about some of the situation of the Tsugawa family." ”
"Oh? Then I don't know what this Yoshino Kotaro did before, and how did you meet? Takahashi then asked.
The wise ten guards hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously, "Can I not say it?" ”
Takahashi Xingguo nodded and said, "This is up to you, but if you can go over, follow me!" ”
"Uh.... All right! ”
"Kotaro, let's talk about it yourself!" The wise Jubei kicked the football to Kotaro Yoshino.
Kotaro Yoshino let out an "ah", reacted from his uneasiness, and hurriedly said, "Actually... In fact, before going down, it was a bandit in the area of Mt. Kamuro and Mt. Sukin. I met the wise adults because..... Because I couldn't rob, I was caught. Fortunately, the wise lord was magnanimous and forgave the sins of the following. ”
"But I'm sincerely repentant in the next.,For the previous things.,I still hope that Takahashi-sama ............"
"Well, if you are really the ronin who came to join your family, your family doesn't value it. As long as you have the ability, you can participate in the talent selection of your family, and you need to go to Jinchuan City to inquire about specific matters. Kokoku Takahashi interrupted Kotaro Yoshino.
"Thank you, sir! Huh? So we can get there? Wise Shibei reacted sharply and said excitedly.
"Of course!" Takahashi Xingguo Furui Wubo barely squeezed out a smile on his face.
"Thank you, sir!"
"Eh, wait, is the Sibo family still in Mino?"
"The Spoys? I don't know if there is a Spo family in Mino country, but I only know that there is a Spo family in Owari country. ”
"Hmm."
Hearing this, Takahashi Xingguo was already able to preliminarily determine that these people were not enemies, at least not sent by the Ono family. Since this is the case, there is no reason to block others and prevent them from passing, besides, others still come to join the Tsugawa family, maybe everyone will be the same retainers of the lord in the future?
