103. Ninja values
"That'...... So how do you? His straightforwardness really startled me, and I couldn't help but feel a little chill down my spine at the thought of walking around the ghost gate.
"I did get the thought in mind when you first entered, but ......," his eyes flickered as he said this. These few of your subordinates are really not simple! I haven't moved here yet, and they've locked up the gas engine over there......"
"Huh?" I glanced around in astonishment, gritting my teeth in my heart. "These guys! Didn't even give me a hint! ”
"Ahh It's him......" He raised his hand and pointed at Keiji Maeda. "This big man has blocked your body so tightly that I can't see any gaps. And his hand is pressed on the hilt, ready to block at any time! And he ......" His hand pointed to Kusunoki Mitsunari again. He was leaning against the wall in a dead corner, each holding a hidden weapon in his arms. I'll be beaten into a hedgehog if I make the slightest move here! And he ......" He finally pointed to Shima Katsutoshi and said, "Although it is a bit redundant, he has sealed the way out of Ishikawa Goemon!" Even if we're a team, we can't work together! And ......," he said, smirking self-deprecatingly. "Why do you think I stood up in such a strange position just now? I'm not twisted in the back! I have to put my hands out empty, or I'll never have a chance to speak again! ”
Only then did I realize that there were so many doorways in it, but it was still ......? "You! Why didn't you find out he was a ninja? I asked Ishikawa Goemon who was secretly trying his luck on the side.
"Humph! Who said I didn't find out! He gritted his teeth and said, "This sinister creature has been motionless since I came in, and I thought he was sent by you to spy on me!" ”
"Ha, ha, ha,......" I laughed out loud. I said how he slept honestly for so long, and it wasn't funny at all! It turned out that the two of them were holding each other back. "By the way, what did you mean when you said I lost a lot?" I finally stopped laughing, and I remembered what my companion had just said.
"Oh! Ah......h "Judging by your age, you should have only recently been in power, so you may not know much about the market! You can hire a first-class ninja for such a high salary, and there is no need to waste money on amateurs......"
"Who do you say is an 'amateur?!'" Hearing this, Ishikawa Goemon became excited again.
"That's you! Is there anything wrong?! Ban Changxin squinted his eyes and gave him a disdainful look.
"You ......!!!" Ishikawa Goemon's face was hideous.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!" I hurriedly suppressed their emotions. "I see what you mean!" I said to my companion letter, "If you come to me after you are busy with your current work, I will hire you too, and the treatment will be the same!" ”
"Why did you hire so many ninjas at once? Do you want to take Saito Ryuko's life? "He was baffled by my decision.
"That's the most useless thing!" I dismissed his speculation. "First, killing him is something that His Highness Nobunaga should consider. Second, it doesn't take so many people to really kill him. Third......" I said with a smile, "If he dies, it will be even more difficult to capture Mino!" Seeing that they all laughed, I said, "I hired ninjas to protect my own interests!" ”
"Do you have a lot of money? Hi...... Look at what I'm asking! Ishikawa Goemon immediately shook his head and said, "You can hire so many ninjas at such a high price, of course you are very rich!" Could it be ...... You're Oda Nobunaga? But ......" he once again denied his own opinion. "Oda Nobunaga is thirty years old! Who the hell are you? ”
"I was negligent!" I sat up straight and struck. "Below, the general of the Oda family, the lord of Owari Yudan Valley, the lord of the Hoshi Tadabei is also!"
"Has the Oda family really prospered to this extent?" Ban Changxin looked at the sky with his eyes as if he was saying to himself: "A general is so rich? ”
"Ahem, ahem!" I stopped their unbridled associations with two coughs. "Will it work? Give me a good word! ”
"Row !!" The two of them replied in unison, and this time they were surprisingly consistent.
"That's good!" I'm very happy with their attitude. "You report the number of people under you, when it will be in place, I can arrange work for you!"
"I have 5 middle ninjas and 53 lower ninjas, they are all nearby, and they will be fine in three days!" Ishikawa Goemon hurriedly said.
"I have 3 middle ninjas and 21 lower ninjas...... "Speaking of this, the companion chief shone glanced at Ishikawa." 'Soldiers are expensive but not too expensive', we are all professionals! ”
"You ......," Ishikawa Goemon was furious when he heard this.
"Ishikawa!" I hurriedly crossed the side and said, "Didn't you just say that you have a hundred ...... under your command More than a hundred? How is this ......?"
"We didn't pop out of the cracks in the rocks!" He rolled his eyes at me. "There must not be a few old men, women and children! In this world, the strong old men may not be able to take care of their mouths, and with so many 'burdens', it is not bad to be alive! ”
"Where are they now?" I asked.
"In the mountains!" He said helplessly. "It's not a day-long 'fight to fly'!"
"How's you doing?" I asked my companion again.
"It's pretty much the same!" He's also unlucky. "We have 57 family members, and we don't know where to go since we left Koga!"
"Alright, so be it!" Feeling like the conversation was almost over, I stood up. "Ishikawa...... And the companion letter, you can leave later! Come to me after you recruit all the people, and if I go back, you will come directly to Komaki Mountain Castle. Oh...... That's right! My family has nowhere to go and tell me, you can build a village in my territory, and I will give you a few hundred stone of wasteland......"
"What !!" Ishikawa Goemon's roar frightened me almost to the ground, and when I looked back, I saw that although I didn't look like him, I also had tears in my eyes.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"You...... You want to give us land? The companion asked cautiously.
"yes!" I replied inexplicably, "I have some wasteland there, and if you open it, it will be yours!" ”
"Your Excellency!" Ishikawa Goemon suddenly knelt down in front of me. "I beg you to be able to take it in!"
"That's what I want!" The companion also knelt down.
"What's going on?" I asked curiously. "Aren't you already working for me?"
"Returning to your lordship! We want to be your official retainers! Ban Changxin said solemnly.
"Why is that?" I still don't get it.
"Your Excellency, you may not know ......," Ishikawa Goemon said excitedly, "Although the work of a ninja is born and died, it is very rare to become a samurai!" As far as I know, only a few lucky ones, such as Wada, Sugitani, and Hattori, were able to achieve such a status. Like Tobori and Wind Demon, they are all generations of people who have served the same master, and they have made countless achievements, but they are all just wild warriors with no reputation! ”
"Wouldn't that be nice?" I didn't understand and asked, "How nice is it to have a reward and a reward and to be unfettered?" ”
"Adult ......"
"Okay, I promise you!" Seeing that their attitude is so persistent, I can only reluctantly embarrass it. "But...... Ishikawa, you have to change your name, His Royal Highness Nobunaga hates underworld characters! And I will give thee a word of my name, and thou shalt be called ...... henceforth Let's call it Ishikawa Tadatsuna! ”
"Yes, my lord...... No! It's the lord! ”
"You ...... Is it really not thinking about it anymore? "I reconfirmed.
