Chapter 1 is taken out of context

The room where the clan lived was the most luxurious of the small shop, but in his opinion, this room was still very shabby, because of the day's travel, and the fact that he was choked by the cold outside just now, so the clan just chatted with Maeda Keiji for a few words, and then fell asleep.

And the shopkeeper since the clan and Maeda Keiji entered the house, he has been constantly restless, he has been open for many years, he has seen a lot of people, quite rich experience, at first, he thought that these two samurai were spies sent by other countries, and wanted to wait for them to rest, then go to the city to report the matter to Lord Yumori Yabei, but just when he was about to go out, he suddenly felt that if these two people were spies, how could they be so high-profile?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper didn't know where he got the courage, and he actually wanted to find out, only to see him holding a copper kettle in his hand, and in the pot was boiling water that had just been prepared, and walked quickly to the room where the clan sect was.

Before I came to the door, I only heard Maeda Keiji's complaining voice from inside the house: "Lord, this Asai Nagamasa child, if you don't come in person, it doesn't matter, and you don't even send a retainer to come, it's too much, look at this dilapidated house, it's as cold as an ice cellar, this bedding is all soil, the lord's golden body, how can you sleep in such a rotten place." ”

"I don't want to listen to your nonsense, so as not to delay the big thing, okay, go to sleep, I have to hurry tomorrow."

As soon as the clan's voice fell, he saw Maeda Keiji riding on his body, picked up the sword beside him, and asked vigilantly, "Who is outside the door?" ”

The shopkeeper, who had just arrived outside the door, only heard the last two sentences of the conversation, was asked by Keiji Maeda, and couldn't help but be shocked, he felt that his footsteps were soft enough, so light that even he could hardly hear them, the samurai in this room were really vigilant enough, why would they be so vigilant? In addition to the words in their mouths just now, there was a lot of disrespect for the main hall, and now the shopkeeper has determined that these two people must be trying to be unfavorable to the main hall, at least they are also spies sent by the enemy country.

Fortunately, he is smart enough, otherwise if these two samurai find out that there is an abnormality, it is still a trivial matter that his life is not guaranteed, and if the main hall is harmed by the two of them, then his good life will be over.

Although the shopkeeper is now panicked in his heart, because he is already an old man, he did not reveal the panic in his heart, and only heard him calmly say: "Back to the two adults, the villain is afraid of the cold in the room, so I specially sent hot water to warm up the adults." ”

This kind of thing is too common, and the shopkeeper has already been discovered by Maeda Keiji before he eavesdropped, and there is nothing abnormal in his behavior, so not only the clan and Maeda Keiji didn't pay much attention to it, but even Ishikawa Goemon, who was secretly protecting, didn't pay much attention to it.

And the remaining two shinobi who were constantly following the clan and lurking somewhere outside the room, after seeing that the shopkeeper was indeed holding a copper kettle that was still steaming, also moved his eyes to step out and ignored it.

At this time, I only heard the voice of the clan sect coming from the house: "It's already rested, there is no need for hot water, you can retreat." ”

The innkeeper replied and walked away quickly, and instead of returning to his room to rest, he quietly closed the door of his lodging house and walked briskly in the direction of the castle tower.

Yusen City Lord Yumori Yabei Qingzhen, although only twenty years old, but with his profound martial arts, every time he fights with the Hexagonal Family, he can basically get great merit from it, and all the Hexagonal Samurai see him out of battle, before the battle, his courage is three points weaker, and his brave name is unparalleled in Omi.

Therefore, although he is not very old, he and the other two old ministers in the family who are known for their bravery, Haibei Tsunade and Akaio Kiyozuna, and become the three members of the Red Rain Sea, and the reputation of Yumori Yabei is not the largest among the three, but among the three, the martial arts are the most profound, but it is a well-known thing.

And this Yumori Yabei, as the head of the largest wealthy family in Ika County, has a territory of as much as 35,000 stones, even in the Asai family, such a powerful force can be ranked among the top few.

And just as the Yumori Yabei was about to rest, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the living room, and I saw a close attendant walking quickly to the door and reporting loudly: "Newspaper, lord, owner of the inn in the village of Joshita Machishita, ask to see ...... outside the castle tower."

"No," he said, only to hear Yabei Yumori say firmly. Although the Asai family has been implementing a pro-people policy since Asai Nagamasa succeeded him as the governor, if any townsfolk can easily see the lord, then the lord is too worthless. ,

Besides, what big deal can these Shengdou Xiaomin have, and although Yumori Yabei was unable to participate in the year-end assessment meeting of the Asai family because of his physical discomfort, he has already received the news that the Rokkaku family has sent troops to Sawa Yamashiro, and the Lord has mobilized Ashigaru to prepare for a battle, so he is ready to raise his spirit today, carry out Ashigaru mobilization tomorrow, catch up with the Lord's footsteps, and just go by himself, so if he wants to get meritorious service in this battle, it should not be a difficult thing, and how can he let that small people disturb his rest.

After listening to this, the attendant outside the door did not leave, but said cautiously: "My lord, the shopkeeper said that there are two enemy spies who are resting in his house. ”

Spies? Yumori Yabei became interested after hearing this, now the war between the family and the Rokkaku family is imminent, if it is really a spy, it should also be sent by the Rokkaku family to inquire about the news, if you can catch these two spies and pry out the latest movements of the Rokkaku family from their mouths, it will undoubtedly be of great help to their own meritorious service in this battle.

Thinking of this, Yumori Yabei no longer hesitated, only to see him quickly sit up, while wearing his clothes, he said, "Tell him to wait in the assessment room, I will come immediately." ”

"It's the lord, and the subordinates will do it." The attendant replied before he quickly retreated.

In the assessment room of the castle tower of Yumori City, Yumori Yabei sat firmly on the seat, and in the assessment room, a thin little old man was trembling and kneeling in the middle waiting for an question.

Although the lord is usually quite sympathetic to civilians like himself, but now that he is alone, he is still a little flustered.

"How did you find out about these two spies? If I find something untrue, I will not be spared. Although the list was said by Yabei Yumori, it put a huge pressure on the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper himself was flustered, and now there was another word, only to hear him tremble and say: "Return... Returning to the adult's words, the villain heard him call the name of the Asai Hall outside the door of the two of them, and he was very disrespectful to the main hall, and the other samurai asked him not to continue, saying that he was afraid of delaying the big event......"

At this point, Yumori Yabei had basically determined that these two people were spies, so he only heard him say loudly: "Someone is coming"

"The subordinates are here, please give instructions to the lord." A waiter who was outside the assessment room hurriedly ran in and replied.

"Immediately gather Qiben and follow me to the lower village lodging house to arrest the spies." After saying that, Yumori Yabei didn't wait for the attendant to answer, stood up, and walked straight towards the assessment room.

In the most luxurious room in the lower village, just as the clan was asleep, only a ninja reported loudly outside the door: "Report, lord, there are hundreds of feet rushing out of Yusen City, and they are coming straight here with great momentum, and I ask the lord to make a decision early." ”

As soon as the ninja finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps, shouts coming from outside the dormitory, and the room where the clan was located was also illuminated by the light emitted by the torches.

At the same time that the clan and Maeda Keiji got up, all the ninjas led by Ishikawa Goemon had appeared, of which Ishikawa Goemon followed the clan, and the remaining ten ninjas were guarding outside the gate.

When everyone was nervous, I only heard Keiji Maeda say lightly: "Lord, could this be the team sent by the Asai family to expel me?" ”

At first, the clan also thought about it, but when he looked out of the window, he immediately changed his mind, only to see the clan sect frown, and said solemnly: "Do you think they will come to expel in the middle of the night and in full armor?" ”

Now the clan's heart is also bottomless, he immediately thought of two possibilities, one is that the Asai family has decided to be the enemy of the Oda family and assist the Saito family to resist together, after all, for the time being, the alliance with the Asai family is just wishful thinking on his own and Oda Nobunaga, in case the other party does not develop like history, he feels that the Oda family has brought enough coercion to him, so as to unite with the weak Saito family and resist the Oda family together, it is not impossible.

Of course, this may be a misunderstanding, after all, according to the development of history, choosing to form an alliance with the Oda family is the only way out for the Asai family, and with the wisdom of Asai Nagamasa, he should not ally with the Saito family and choose to bring about his own destruction.

However, since the other party is not good, he can't help but be prepared, although he is facing the siege of hundreds of ashigaru, the clan is not sure to retreat, but it is not his character to lead the neck to be killed. Thinking of this, I only heard the clan say loudly: "Be ready for me, if the Asai family dares to attack, then kill me hard, don't be soft." ”,

"The lord, please rest assured, as long as the subordinates are still alive, they will definitely not let the lord be threatened in the slightest." Including Maeda Keiji and Ishikawa Goemon, after the clan finished speaking, all knelt on the ground, bowed deeply, and said solemnly.

The clan was very satisfied that they could have such an attitude, only to hear him speak again: "Ishikawa Goemon"

"The subordinates are here."

"I now order you to immediately find a path outside the door that the enemy must pass through, and if the enemy attacks, indirectly attack the opponent's main general and control it." The clan suddenly thought of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, as long as he could capture the opponent's main general, the other party would inevitably be afraid to attack, and his own people would also be able to take the opportunity to escape.

"Yes, please rest assured that your subordinates will not be alone in the trust of your lord." Ishikawa Goemon seemed very excited, the first time he followed the lord out, he encountered such a dangerous situation, and he needed to make his own shot to win, if it succeeded, this would definitely be a great achievement.

After Ishikawa Goemon withdrew from the lurk, the clan did not dare to slack off, and also pulled Muramasa out of his waist and became nervous.
