"Squeak~~~!" I pushed open the wooden window, and a cool breeze with a slight moisture hit my face, and I took a deep breath and cleared my mind.

Looking down from the top floor of the castle tower, there are many sentry posts standing in all directions, vigilantly watching everything around them. In the middle of the courtyard, there were more than a dozen large carts, and many soldiers were busy loading various items on them, and it seemed that they were almost finished. This is the style of a "big man", and it always takes a long time to toss when he is still and moves.

Ishikawa Sadatomo and Iki Hanchi each brought a small group of flag warriors and hurried through the middle of the courtyard, probably trying to hurry up and finish the necessary things before they hit the road.

I turned around and left the window, and saw that Ah Xue was also packing up with a few maids, and the * on her face had not completely receded because she had just gotten up. "We'll only be on the road when it's time to go, so you don't have to rush!" I came to the middle and pointed to the tight arrow suit on the box, and immediately two hand-picked maids came to change it for me.

"Anything else?" Xue tilted her head and asked.

"Hmmm! I still have to meet a few people at breakfast, wearing armor...... "I suddenly saw her attentive expression, and I immediately understood why she cared so much about this issue. "Don't worry, I won't let you go with you!"

"His Royal Highness Xie is sympathetic...... "Hearing me say this, Ah Xue's face turned red again, and she turned around and went to the shelf to get the armor I wore yesterday for me.

"Don't wear that!" I stopped her and pointed to a large box by the door. "Take out the armor that Mr. Ernst gave me, I'm going to wear that one!"

"The set?" Xue was a little surprised, but she still walked over and took it out for me.

As with all powerful and wealthy daimyo, it was an essential habit to collect valuable weapons and armor, both to show off their family's prowess to their guests and to reward meritorious retainers at any time. This is also a kind of gift that visitors often offer, but most of them are decorations and will not be used, especially the style of this armor is a little "other"!

This armor feels the opposite of the "Angelic Illusion" I gave to Xue, full of blood and violence from top to bottom, and the armor pieces from Milan, Italy, are made of tungsten steel, with a dark sheen in the pitch black.

In front of the upper body armor is the scene of St. George holding a sword and fighting the evil dragon, and in the flames formed by the dragon's breath, blood splashes around a man and a dragon; On the back of the armor is a gorgon Medusa's head, a group of snakes hideous and weird, and the four fangs in the mouth are cold and shining; The left side of the upper arm armor depicts a cyclops, and on the right is a Laughing Yaksha, both tied to a two-horned ghost-faced shoulder eater; Under the skirt armor depicted with the Seven Demon Kings of Hell, the left thigh armor is the eight-fold snake, and on the right is the three-headed dog of hell.

The helmet made of tungsten steel is also made of tungsten steel, and the traditional gold maki-e Zhuxing family crest is still used to blow back, and the front stand is also a more common oblique moon and sun shape in Japan, and the helmet at the top imitating Takeda Shingen uses a dense yak tail, but the coat color is all dyed blood red.

All the demonic eyes on this set of armor are made of the same material, that is, pigeon's blood rubies from Burma, and the intricate patterns and colors are baked with 19 kinds of enamel, so this can only be an impractical "look". Although it is several times stronger than ordinary armor, it will become a mess after just a few strokes, and it is very difficult to repair!

"Ahh When I walked out of the bedroom wearing this armor, Matabei Goto, who was waiting there, was taken aback, and it was the first time he had seen the "actual effect".

"Are you all ready?" I'm very happy with the results I've done.

"Your breakfast has been placed in the main hall, and those people have been detained in the barracks!" Goto Matabei quickly returned to normal, took the "Dai" in my hand and reported the incident.

"Bring those men here, and put breakfast under the city gates, and I'll meet them there!" I thought for a moment and then added: "Put the Alicante wine!" ”

"Yes!" Despite the doubts, he did not delay, and under a few gestures, someone immediately ran to carry it out.

As I walked through the courtyard, everyone stopped what they were doing and saluted me. Because of last night's rain, the ground was a little muddy, and it still hasn't completely stopped, but it has become a sporadic little hair.

The quick-witted guards had already moved their breakfast, and had spread a large felt mat under the city gate and placed a small table, facing out just enough to see the camp in the distance.

I looked out, and most of the corpses had moved to the wilderness in the distance last night, leaving only 11 important people, including Nakakushi Kentake, Ichiken Himi, and Dr. Gensanko Matsuda, who had attacked last night.

They were all captured alive last night, but the verdict against them had already been handed down, so no one bothered me while I was "resting". They did not die in the disembowelment of the honor of the defeated samurai, or even as the beheading of prisoners of war, they were carried out by hanging! Yes, strangled like a dog, and hung on a string of tall wooden shelves to the left of the city gate.

A group of people from the camp in the distance began to walk towards me, and I took off my helmet and handed it to Goto Matabei to sit down and eat. After thinking about it, I suddenly pulled out the "Dai" from the sheath in the hand of the guard, and stuck it on the ground beside me. The hilt swayed back and forth and gradually stopped, the blade glowing with a terrifying cold light. After seeing the results, I sat down and started to enjoy my breakfast.

Those people quickly walked to the city gate, and there were more than 100 wealthy families in the nearby two counties headed by Xiguan Wanshang and Yitianzong City. Because of my humble status (and some of them are too far away), they didn't come to meet me last night. In the middle of the night, before the horror caused by the guns had subsided, my soldiers were captured and put in the camp for half the night.

These men came and were driven to meet me, but had to stop in the rain outside the gates, because I was stuck in the doorways. The men knelt down on the muddy ground as two hundred elite samurai in armor and swords cruied around them on horseback.

Forced by the situation, perhaps the warriors also have a moment of temporary forbearance, and the story of Gou Jian lying down and tasting courage is still preached. But at this moment, these people of Kii, who have always been unruly, bowed their heads in fear, and the self-esteem and self-confidence in their hearts were completely destroyed!

On the grass dozens of feet away, more than 100 blazing bonfires were burning, and around them were nearly 2,000 strange-looking demons. They laughed and drank loudly, surrounded the sizzling barbecue on the fire, and occasionally cut and veiled the bloody pieces of flesh with the huge scimitars in their hands. (Actually, it's beef, but it's easy for people who don't know the truth to associate it with other things.) ）

I didn't speak, and naturally they didn't dare to talk to each other, or even to have any expression on their faces, because they didn't know if I wanted to cry or laugh.

"I gave you a chance, didn't I!" I finally finished my meal and reached out to the side with my tall glass. Goto Matabei immediately picked up the bottle and poured it halfway, the bright red liquor the color was like blood. "Time and time again, I always give you a chance, don't you people have even the slightest bit of gratitude?" I took a sip and the liquor spilled out a little at the corner of my mouth. "Even last night, I warned and hinted to you again and again not to leave anything to chance! But how do you repay me? ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Ida Mushi kowtowed like a chicken pecking rice, completely ignoring the muddy water on his face, and wept bitterly, "Your Highness's kindness is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, and it is like the sun and gods and Buddhas to us in Kii!" Nakahisa and Bing see these mad thieves and thugs ......"

"Don't talk about anyone else!" I interrupted his confession with a snap. "Isn't it true that you and Nakahisa and the others conspired to make trouble and made an appointment to advance and retreat together?! Didn't you have the seventy monks under your command prepare their swords and guns last night, ready to act at the signal?! Didn't you sign the blood letter of the alliance when Shigehide Suzuki withdrew a month ago?! ”

"Ah......h

"Thankfully, you were scared at the last minute and reneged on your accomplices and oath!" I spoke softly, but no one found it lighter. "So you're alive today, and you're still enjoying life. If you stepped out of the door with even one foot last night, you're among them by now! I gestured to the row of shelves.

"Thank you...... Xie Yuzhou...... Thank you, Your Highness! Although the speech is not yet clear, Yitian Zongshi is still a smart person after all, and he knows in a few words that he is already alive.

"You surrender all your weapons, and the land is reduced to 200 stones. In the future, if your people have another weapon in their hands, even if it's just a bamboo gun...... Hmph, hum! "I didn't pay attention to him anymore, but turned to Xiguan Wanshang." Last night, a rout rebel party ran to you and was executed by you on the spot, right? ”

"Yes!" Xiguan Wanshang looked a little proud.

"Because you are simple-minded and always act recklessly and impulsively, Nakakusa and the others have never asked you to participate in the rebellion, right?" I looked down and saw that the goblet was filled again.

"Yes!" He replied humlessly.

"Thirty years ago, when Suzuki Shigei and Tsuda Kanmono went to Tanegashima in Kyushu to learn advanced iron cannon skills, your father was also part of the entourage, right?" I picked up my glass and looked through the glass.

"Yes!" Xiguan Wanshang's face had changed.

"Shigehide Suzuki told you when he left: hide deeply, don't do anything, and wait until he informs you to act at a critical moment, right?" I drank the wine from my glass again.

"Yes!" He was already dead-faced.

"You're very lucky, you didn't lie or do anything that actually harmed me!" I smiled and put down my glass. "So your territory will not be reduced, but you will move to Tango. You'll have a lot of time to think about where you're going from here! I suddenly added, "Of course you can choose not to!" ”

"I ...... Go! Xiguan Wanshang replied in a tone that seemed to be his last words.

"You are very lucky to be under my rule, even the rebels!" I stood up and said to the hundred or so people below. "If the Right General were here, he would have put to death all the people involved, and I am a soft-hearted man who will only execute those who directly carry out the rebellion. As for the children of the family, I usually give them to my meritorious subordinates......" I said, looking at the group of Cossacks in the distance.
