I stood on the south side of the pond leisurely feeding the carp, and it was almost half an hour since the senkoi maru and they hadn't come back yet. After changing my clothes, I waited here, because a dozen feet behind me was the corner gate of the garden.

It's been many years since I've been so relaxed, and even though I'm not the protagonist of today's trouble, I'm still very happy, even a kind of heartfelt joy. It's a joy from within, at least not fully aged yet.

"What if I went to the market and got into a fight, and then someone else exposed it?" Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh myself, so much so that I spilled the fish food in my hand on my clothes. It's an interesting idea, and maybe I'll give it a try someday!

But I'm an adult after all, and I'm an adult with a lot of responsibility, and I just think about some things in my heart, and I can't even think about it too much. Because there are too many things for me to think about, this kind of light-hearted and humorous YY can only be a concoction, and it is the kind that can't be put too much like MSG.

"That guy should come over too!" I asked myself in my heart, this is the sorrow of people like me. If you take it easy for a while, you'll immediately fall into self-inflicted trouble, and I don't know how long this situation will last. In fact, a voice in my heart has long told me: "Until the day your life ends!" "It's just that I instinctively don't want to admit it.

The "person" I am talking about is Senkomaru's friend, the mysterious "straw hat man". The moment the straw hat fell, a huge wave had already stirred up in my heart, which seemed to be as calm as water. Don't get me wrong, I haven't met him before! It was only when I saw his face that I immediately remembered the origin of his and his bodyguard's strange accents, and thus became more certain of his identity. I've had that accent before, but I've forgotten it for so long.

Ever since I was sure (85% sure) of that person's identity, I've been planning something, but it seems a little far away in every way, maybe it means that I was born to work hard!

"Squeak~ah!" The corner door behind me rang, and it must have been opened. But then there was no other sound, neither talking nor footsteps.

"Do you want to slip back like that? I didn't even say hello when I came back! "I threw the fish food into the water, scattered it into a fan, crackled and fell into the water.

"Father...... Father, I ...... I don't see you here! Senkomaru's voice sounded in the back, mixed with irrepressible tension.

"Whether you don't see me or don't want me to see it, there's a big difference!" I placed the wooden box containing the fish on a boulder and turned around as I dusted off the scraps in my hands.

The first thing I saw was Xian Limaru, and in addition to the bruise on his left cheek, there was a small scar on his face, which was on his chin, and it was estimated that he had been hit by a "cupola".

"How's it going, did you win? Don't tell me you fell by accident! I walked over with a smile on my face, and I didn't look angry at all. In fact, it doesn't matter if you lose, after all, the invincible people in the world are only a very small part. I've just lost more than once, but in hindsight I don't have anything to regret. Aren't you like that? "I reached out and pretended to caress his face, but I actually pressed it on one of his scars.

"Ahh Senkomaru screamed in pain, and jumped backwards with his feet together.

"Oops, the injury is really not light!" I teasingly circled around him in a look of utter amazement. "The one who hurt you like this must be a very remarkable person, right? Is it Kobayakawa Takakei or Uesugi Keikatsu, or else the famous generals of the Takeda family or the Hojo family? Tell me about it, and let me glorify you again! ”

"......" Senkomaru's face was already red behind his ears, and he lowered his head as if he was looking for a crack in the ground to get into.

"If it's inconvenient to talk about your 'enemy', let's introduce your 'comrades-in-arms' first!" Things had to be done in moderation, and I ended the lesson that embarrassed him. "Anyway, you just fought a battle side by side, and this is also a kind of 'fate'!"

"Junior faux pas!" The two men came to their senses from my inexplicable theories, and bowed down to me together. "Below, the wild samurai Ichishima Tengjiro (Kojuro Katakura) from the northeast has met adults!"

"It seems that you are also acquaintances in a hurry and haven't had time to introduce them, so let me start first!" The kind smile on my face did not diminish in the slightest, and I straightened my clothes and said, "Down there are the Qing Clan, welcome the two of you to come and give up!" ”

"Zhuxing Qing Clan?!" The two of them bent down as if they had put on a spring, and they straightened up in a snap. "You...... Is it His Royal Highness the Qing clan of Zhuxing Yuzhou? The "Straw Hat Man" asked in a trembling voice, losing his usual calm.

"It should be!" I scratched my head "innocently" and said with uncertainty: "Zhuxing was not a big surname before me, so I really don't know that there is another Zhuxing Qing clan besides myself!" ”

"It's our rudeness to offend His Highness Yuzhou!" The two of them quickly regained their composure, and were ready to kneel down to give a big salute, but the speed was obviously slow.

"There's no need for etiquette, I'm not such a particular person!" I also stopped it as if it was a scene, anyway, it's all a matter of face.

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is benevolent and generous, and when I saw it today, I realized that the rumors were true!" The "straw hat man" said with emotion, and his eyes flashed twice in succession as he looked at me.

In fact, at this time, his straw hat had long been gone, revealing a fair and narrow face, but it was still a little deficient in his quiet appearance, and a black blindfold hung diagonally to block his right eye. Coupled with a thick Northeast soil cavity, you should always know who he is, right?

"There are a lot of people who say that about me, but a lot of them want to tie my hands and feet with this 'rope'!" As I spoke, I was paying attention to his expression, which was also a figure to watch. "Since the two of you are friends with Senkomaru when they come to my house, I have to say something. How about you sit down inside and have a light meal! ”

"His Royal Highness Yuzhou is in charge of state affairs, so let's not bother!" As a bodyguard, Katakura Kojuro has rarely spoken since just now, but at this time, seeing that the owner Ichishima Tengjiro (currently using this title first) hesitated, he finally couldn't help but remind.

"It's all here, how can there be any reason not to even eat a meal!" Senkomaru couldn't help frowning, for him, he really wanted to have such a friend who didn't care about each other's identities.

"That's it!" Goto Matabei also said on the side: "I don't know if the matter just now is over, those boys will find some trouble if they can't prepare." Although the two of them are not afraid of them, they are hard to beat with two fists, and it is better to cause less trouble when the two of them are in the guest country! ”

"Not bad!" I also invited it as a kind elder, in fact, I also wanted to understand the real side of this person. "It's not worth it to cause trouble for such a boring thing, both of them are handsome people who do great things, and they can't afford to spend their energy on this. I think the two of them will stay in the house first, and I will send someone to fetch the things in the pavilion when I go back. Thinking about the two people who came from the Tohoku thousands of miles away, I always wanted to see the local characters of. Later, I will write you a few letters of introduction, and you can get twice the result with half the effort if you want to learn and see. This is not my Zhuxing Qing clan boasting, I still have some ways in the area! ”

"Alright! Then we'll bother you......" Tengjiro Ichishima finally nodded.

*******************************************

"The two of them are really extraordinary, I haven't seen many such characters in!" There were still only a few of us at the banquet in the flower hall, and I praised those two people during the banquet. For the sake of harmony in the atmosphere, Goto Matabei and Akashi Junto were also served.

"What my father said is exact, and I also think that Ichishima-sama has extraordinary knowledge as soon as we meet!" Senkomaru was naturally happy to hear me praise his friend, at least it showed that I agreed with his eyesight. "Whether it is the art of war or domestic affairs, Tojiro is quite accomplished. My teachers often added their own opinions when teaching me, and many of them coincided with Tojiro's, and even some of them had more unique opinions. At least I'm ashamed of myself, Brother Tojiro's talent is really above me! ”

"I haven't talked about it in detail just now, and neither Ichishima-sama nor Katakura-sama have come out yet, right?" Goto Matabei suddenly asked with "concern", although the two men had introduced themselves more than once before.

"There is no way to be high or low, this is also a helpless thing!" Tojiro Ichishima replied lightly, not seeing any flaws in the slightest. "But that's fine, once you get out, you'll have constraints. I've been holding back in a place like Tohoku, and my horizons are not much bigger than a wellhead, and it's always been our wish to come to to see it. There is no hurry to do things, no matter how much you spend, there will always be a time when you run out, but you can't run away from this thing! ”

"It's a pity......" Goto Matabei muttered to himself with great regret.

I knew that Goto Matabei's "pity" was hinting at me, even though he was not good at making things too clear in his identity. However, since I have some information that he doesn't know, it directly leads to the difference in starting point between the two of us.

"If you two don't give up, I would like to invite you to join our Star Family!" Senkamaru suddenly spoke, and looked at the two of them eagerly. It may be that he really feels very attached to them, but then there is no room for manoeuvre all of a sudden.

"This ......" Tengjiro Ichishima groaned in embarrassment, and his eyes drifted to me, and everyone turned their eyes to me.
