Chapter 709: Falling Through!
Since Oda Saburo learned information about most of the people involved in the attack on the Tsugawa family's territory, Nozawa and Kuro had an exact target for investigation.
After sending more than 20 Blue Coat Ninjas to various parts of Tsugaru Prefecture, Nozawa and Kuro immediately set off for Togo Castle.
"Nozawa-sama, why are you here?" Seeing Nozawa and Kuro in the dust, Togo Yoshisuke asked with a puzzled expression.
As an important minister of the Tsukawa family, Togo Yoshisuke naturally knows Nozawa and Kuro, but only because he knows that Nozawa and Kuro are samurai of the Tsukawa family, but Togo Yoshisuke also has no idea that Nozawa and Kuro are the presidents of the Blue Coat Society.
"Lord Togo, on the orders of the lord, I have come to the Mutsu area to report some of the latest information that my family has obtained." Nozawa and Kurou naturally didn't take the initiative to reveal their identities, so they had to use another way to show their intentions.
As soon as he heard that Nozawa and Kuro were sent by Tsugawa Soji, Togo Yoshisuke also hurriedly looked at Nozawa and Kuro with a solemn look, and then said slowly, "Since this is the case, then please talk about it and listen to it!" ”
"Hah!"
"According to the latest information obtained by the family, the true identities of most of the people who participated in the attack on the territory of the family have been found out by the family." Nozawa and Kuro pondered for a moment, said the names of some people, and then continued, "In addition, the family has also found out that these people will break out in the territory in a few days, and then take advantage of the chaos to attack the family's territory again. ”
"And this attack is not a small fight like the one before, but a large-scale upheaval! Therefore, Lord Dongxiang must prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard when the time comes! Nozawa and Kuro added.
Hearing Nozawa and Kuro's words, a touch of anxiety also appeared on Togo Yoshisuke's face, but then Togo Yoshisuke said, "It's not a secret, the castle generation of Naganiu City, Abe Enda, also got some information from Hatta Kozhong, although it is not as detailed as what Nozawa-sama said, but it is not far from ten." That's why I've already prepared my Ashigaru for battle, and as soon as I find out where these people are, I'll send troops to wipe them out! ”
"Hmm!" After Togo Yoshisuke finished speaking, Nozawa and Kuro nodded and said, "Since Togo-sama has already prepared, then I can rest assured." ”
"In addition, Tsugaru County is such a big place, and it is not difficult to guess where these people are hiding! In addition, there is more Kawahara Goshin of the Langoka family, so I guess below, maybe they should be in the old collar of the Langoka family, I don't know what Togo-sama thinks? ”
"What Nozawa-sama said is very true!" Togo Yoshiyu also nodded in agreement, "I immediately sent a letter to Lord Iwaki, asking him to leave immediately for the old leader of the Langoka family, I believe that if Lord Iwaki comes out, the whereabouts of these bastards will soon be discovered!" ”
.......
Tojiro is a leader of a village outside the old leader of the Nangang family, and before dawn, Tojiro got dressed in a night of sleeplessness, and then quietly walked out of the village.
Half an hour later, Tojiro came to the outside of Izukuro Castle with a nervous face.
"Stop! What the hell! Before Tojiro could speak, he was stopped by two ashigaru guards at the castle gate.
Tojiro hurriedly showed a smile on his face, and then lowered his head and whispered, "This adult, villain, villain is a farmer from Ermu Village outside the city, didn't a samurai master come to the outside of the village a few days ago to read out some decrees on reporting bandits?" The villain recently discovered that some people in the village are very suspicious, and there were people who came to our village yesterday, and one of them was the villain who knew him, and he was the former lord of Fanjie City. The villain thinks this matter is not trivial, so he is here to report it immediately! ”
For Tojiro's words, the two ashigaru couldn't tell whether they were true or false, and after the two looked at each other, they could only say, "Okay, come with us!" With that, the two ashigaru explained the situation to one of the leading samurai on the castle tower, and then slowly walked towards the castle tower with Tojiro.
Walking on the way to the castle tower, Tojiro looked around with a tangled face, and then couldn't help but say, "Two... Didn't you say that there is a reward for reporting bandits? ”
"Want a reward now? I still want to! Hearing Tojiro's words, a ashigaru said angrily, "If what you just said is indeed true, then there will naturally be a reward." But if it's a lie, then be careful if you can get out of the city. ”
"Huh? Everything the villain said is the truth! Tojiro suddenly said in a panic.
"Since it's the truth, what are you afraid of?" The other achizuki chuckled and said, "Wait until you go in and see the garrison, you have to be excited, these two days are not very good for the garrison, yesterday there was a samurai lord who came to scold the garrison, don't put it directly on the head of the gun!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
After a short time, Tojiro was led by two bandits to the castle tower of Izuki Castle.
The garrison of Izuki Castle was originally a down-and-out ronin named Matsumoto Juro, who, like the Ozaki family, was also very grateful to Togo Yoshiyu, a Bole. In recent days, the fall of Ishikawa Castle and the successive attacks in various places have made Matsumoto Juro extremely anxious, plus yesterday the leader of the ninja of the Tsugawa family, Iwaki Jiro, came to Izuki Castle in person, and as a result, he was scolded by Iwaki Jiro because he couldn't provide any useful information, so Matsumoto Juro was in a very unbeautiful mood today!
"Damn bandits! If I were to catch you in Ibiki Castle, I, Matsumoto Juro, would definitely skin you and cramp you to relieve the hatred in my heart! Thinking of the scene of being scolded by Jiro Iwaki yesterday, Juro Matsumoto's hatred for the bandit is also overflowing!
"Your Excellency!" At this time, a voice from Ashigaru interrupted Matsumoto Juro's thoughts.
"Didn't you tell you to be okay and not bother me?" Matsumoto Juro said angrily.
"My lord! Just now, a farmer from Ermu Village came to report that he had found traces of a bandit, so the villain brought this person over and asked the adults to send him down! Ashiki shrank his head and said with a scared expression.
"What? Bandit trails? As soon as he heard Ashigaru's words, Matsumoto Juro suddenly became excited, "Where is the person, hurry up and bring me in!" ”
"Hah!"
In the blink of an eye, Tojiro entered the castle tower trembling all over.
"Small. Villain II: Futaki Village Farm... Farmer Tojiro .. Lang, see.. I've seen the samurai master! Tojiro looked at Matsumoto Juro with trembling teeth and stammered. For an honest farmer like Tojiro, he is usually scared enough to see a ronin or ashigaru, but when he sees the "majestic" samurai master, his body is even more disobedient.
Looking at the trembling Tojiro, Matsumoto Juro tried his best to look at Tojiro with an amiable look, and then said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, tell everything you know, if the news is true, there will be a rich reward waiting for you at that time!" ”
