What those guys were doing was a kind of gambling of folding, guessing cards, and the tools were simple, just six cards and two dice. This type of card game is very common in Japan, but the specific rules vary a lot. The method of these people is to have the dealer first wash the cards with numbers from one to six in his pocket, so that the player cannot see his movements. Then put the card in the middle of the table, roll the dice, the number of points is up to the player to guess the number on the first card, if the number of points rolled by the dice is greater than six, use this number minus six to calculate.

At the moment, it is the lean short man who is sitting in the village, and he seems to be a master of this way. His right hand always holds the big knife in his arms, shuffling, cutting, and rolling the dice are all carried out with his left hand, and there is almost no shaking of the shoulders between the movements, and the cards opened are also unpredictable. Although he seemed to have won a lot at the table, his expression did not fluctuate at all, and he still looked immortal.

The black-faced brother may not have seen any big wins and losses, and there is nothing unusual in his behavior, but he wrinkles between his eyebrows from time to time, probably a little anxious.

The fat monk seemed to have won some, his head and face looked shiny, a bloody mouth almost behind his ears, and he made fun of the "butcher" opposite from time to time.

The "butcher" really lost badly, and it didn't take much observation to see that. He pressed the corner of the table with both hands, leaned forward slightly, his eyes were as big as bull's eyes, and they were covered with thin bloodshots, and his thick blue lips trembled and muttered a few words from time to time. "Three! This time I'm betting three! He suddenly screamed and poked his head forward again, and the gamblers who lost red-eyed were basically like this.

The cards are drawn, and it's five! He lost another 50 wen.

"What the hell lately!" The "butcher" cursed fiercely and waved his hand, as if this would be able to break out of his body. "If there is no more news, Lao Tzu is leaving, and if you don't make a few 'deals', Lao Tzu's two hundred brothers will drink the northwest wind!"

"Two hundred?! Can you still have two hundred men? The fat monk wiped the "big oil" that came out of his face and said with a teasing smile: "In Shikoku, people have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, so there is really no way to come to!" In the past few months, several countries have been at war, and there is no way to do any 'trading'. A few of us still have some savings, and we can't say that we can hold on to it, but you even lost your nest! Jiro Shikoku, who in this room doesn't know your situation? Don't blow too loudly! ”

"You're looking for death!" Shikoku Erlang, who looked like a butcher, was annoyed and angry because he was scarred, picked up the iron rod and stepped on the table, pointed at the fat monk opposite, and scolded: "Zhengxiu, you bald donkey, aren't you taking advantage of a broken temple!" Being a monk during the day and a thief at night, who do you think doesn't know what you are! ”

"I'll kill you!" The fat monk Zhengxiu was obviously not a good man or a woman, so he immediately picked up the eyebrow stick and prepared to return the color.

"You two stop!" The short and thin man seemed to be a little moved this time. "Why did we all come here? Don't spoil everyone's business! As soon as he said that, the black-faced two brothers came up and grabbed the two excited people.

"Don't pull me!" Shikoku Jiro struggled to break free of the hand that was holding him. "I've long seen this bald donkey as unpleasant, and I have to kill him today!"

"Good! I'm going to see which of us can kill someone today! Zhengxiu was naturally unconvinced and shouted. Elbow Boss, Oninuma Brothers! As you can see, I won't spare him today! Although he said it stiffly, he didn't make any further movements, obviously having some scruples about the short and thin man named Elbow.

"Don't pull them, tell these two bastards to beat!" In the midst of the chaos, a majestic voice sounded at the door, and it turned out to be Ishikawa Tadatsuna. He obviously saw our group too, but he didn't show the slightest expression, just stared at these people with a cold gaze, and slowly came to them step by step. "Hit! Why don't you fight?! He came to the table and sat down. Hurry up! I'd love to see if any of you can slaughter whom!" He swept the fierce look on everyone's face, the look of a beast ready to pounce on another.

"Stone ...... Boss Ishikawa ...... "Jiro Shikoku suddenly lost the fierceness he had just now, and he snorted with a cowering expression, and his Adam's apple was also doing vigorous exercises up and down.

"Call me 'Ishikawa-sama'!" Ishikawa Tadatsuna corrected with a frosty face. “…… I'm a decent samurai now, and I'm not the same thing as you 'scum' anymore! ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" The black-faced brothers nodded vigorously like chickens pecking rice, and one of them said flatteringly: "Lord Ishikawa is brave and resolute, naturally he is not comparable to a little thief like us!" When I didn't get a trace, I saw that you were definitely not a person, and now you are really prosperous! Several other people also couldn't stop saying yes, their eyes full of envy, longing, and jealousy.

"You're wrong about that, I was really no different from you guys back then......" A smile hung on the corner of Ishikawa Tadatsuna's mouth when he said this, a cold smile. The only thing I'm better than you is that I'm luckier than you, so I got a chance! It was an opportunity for me to stop being a man and most importantly for my son not to be embarrassed when my name was mentioned! ”

"......" Shikoku Jiro and several people looked at him dumbfounded, obviously stunned by these words.

"Since you've come to me, I thought you'd be a little self-aware, if not unlucky! It's kind of knowledgeable! Oh, it's a pity......" He sighed and shook his head. "I didn't expect that I really misjudged you, you are a bunch of garbage! A bunch of hopeless garbage! Fuck off, if you don't leave here before dark, the sheriff will kill you on the spot!" With that, he made a gesture that he was leaving.

"Boss Ishikawa...... No, no! Lord Ishikawa, don't be surprised...... "Seeing this scene, the people panicked and apologized one after another.

"Let's talk about it! What is it for? Seeing that the goal has been achieved, Ishikawa Tadasuna is not too unkind.

"Actually...... Nothing! The fat monk Zhengxiu cautiously accompanied the smiling face and said: "It's just that everyone has been a little uncomfortable in the past month, so the anger is a little bigger......

"That's it?!" Ishikawa Tadsuna rolled his eyes and glared at them. "If that's the case, you won't have to wait any longer, and you'd better go back and be a thief!"

"You don't have to be like these two bastards, their problems can be cured with a stick!" The short and thin elbow boss hurriedly defended: "In the future, you can only discipline them, and what can be done at their will!" Regarding his statement, Shikoku Jiro and Masahide did not refute it, on the contrary, they nodded again and again, it seems that this elbow is one of the more authoritative ones in this group.

"Since you say so, I won't pursue it!" Ishikawa Tadatsuna also gave him a face. "The lord of the matter you want to join the Star Family is already thinking about it, but it's not without doubts...... "He didn't look at me, but brought the topic to the actual content." In fact, the lord is mainly worried about two things! First, whether you will be loyal to the Stars family; Second, what use do you have for the stars? I can make it clear about the second point, you can't hide anything from me, so let's talk about the first point! ”

"We will definitely go to the soup for the stars and die forever!" An oninuma who didn't know if it was his brother or his younger brother rushed to say. "I can swear to you if I don't believe ......"

"A thief's oath? Hum! Ishikawa interrupted his oath with a thick, nasal voice that was distinctly contemptuous. Let's talk less about the useless ones, I want to hear something real! I didn't become a samurai in the Stars family today, and you didn't know it today! Why didn't you come to me before? Why did you come here all of them? ”

Those people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks for a while.

"I don't want to say yes! It's up to you to ......," Ishikawa said, staring at the ceiling. "But there is one thing I have to warn you of, think carefully about the consequences of telling nonsense! The first is whether you can deceive me, and the second is how to live the second half of your life once you deceive me. If you bring any trouble after entering the command of the Star Family, I will certainly not escape the fate of disembowelment, and you will face endless hunting! This will only end in one time, and that will be the day you die. Don't think I'm alarmist, think about it, can you be more closely protected than Miyoshi Yoshitsugu? The reason why he dared to let him go without fear was because he was sure to catch him back at any time! ”

"Lord Ishikawa, we don't want to hide it from you......" Finally, the elbow boss spoke. We've known the benefits of being a samurai for a long time, but there are also many concerns that we can't let go! Several of us are serious offenders and have to worry about our safety. Once it's ......"

"Don't you have that worry now?" Ishikawa Tadatsuna snapped a sentence.

"There's really no way around it now......" Elbow Boss cried a sad face, and the folds on it became denser. Several powerful daimyo near have implemented the "Sword Hunting Order", and we can barely hide in the countryside! Nowadays, there are tens of thousands of daimyo in a war, and we have many fewer opportunities to fish in troubled waters. As the number of daimyo became smaller and larger, we could only eat in some marginal areas, and life was really sad! He almost burst into tears when he said that. …… Even though I'm just a thief, I can see that the world is about to settle down day by day! Although you may be able to survive for a few days when you move to the mountains of Kanto or Western China, the life there is too hard, and you can't last a few days. Besides, this is also the last chance, and when the world stops fighting, we will really have no effect at all! I think that since Your Highness can reuse you, maybe you won't be too concerned about our previous affairs, so I'll give it a try. ”

"You can be trusted!" Ishikawa nodded, but then looked at the others. "You may have such brains, but what about them?! I don't believe they can understand this! ”

"I brought a few of them with me!" Elbow Fang hurriedly said, "...... When they came to me the other day, they said they were having a hard time, so I brought them here! I thought that if I had more power, I might be able to get some attention......"

"Boss, check out!" I stood up, and I already knew everything I needed to know......
