76 Ikari Motodu
Thanks to the "Old Vine on the Window" bounty!
***
Ikari Motodu was a little surprised, and also felt a little paradoxical.
He was surprised not that Takeda Shingen actually invited him to be a retainer of the Takeda family, nor was he surprised that such a clumsy + flawed background could deceive the ears of Takeda Shingen and these dozen Takeda family generals.
To his surprise, he saw sympathy in Takeda Shingen's eyes.
Sympathize!
This doesn't fit the personality!
Isn't Takeda Shingen the shameless black-bellied uncle, the almighty plug, the exile of his father, the death of his brother-in-law, the forced push of his niece, the raising of male pets, the death of his son, and the invasion of his in-laws?
Ikari Motodu didn't believe that Takeda Shingen had really lost his conscience and completely blackened, but he felt that as a hero, Shingen shouldn't have a mood of "sympathy" that was almost equated with weakness.
It's a bit paradoxical.
Although he was surprised, although he felt paradoxical, Cheng Zheng reacted quickly, and his face changed to a look of regret.
"This one...... The villain can only say sorry. Although it is also good to serve His Royal Highness, the villain's ambition is to become a big businessman like Lü Buwei...... So, at least until this dream is completely shattered, the villain still wants to work hard.
"Your Highness, please!"
Hearing the name "Lü Buwei", some people felt a little unfamiliar, but more people were disdainful.
Ikari Yuandu is a little taller than ordinary people, and he is ashamed to say that he wants to target Lu Buwei?
You must know that Lü Buwei is a big profiteer who seeks the world.
"Good! Very good! ”
No one expected that Takeda Shingen would applaud Ikari Mototo.
"I didn't expect a small businessman to have such big ambitions, I believe that Xuan is ashamed...... Come on, take the gold, I want to reward the Yuan Yuan with a handful of gold! ”
Immediately, a guard took a bucket of golden beans and put it in front of Takeda Shingen, and between Shingen and Ikari Mototo, a tray had already been placed.
In the surprise and puzzlement of all the generals of the Takeda family, Takeda Shingen reached into the golden bean bucket with both hands, filled a handful of golden beans, and slowly put it into the tray.
Shin Xuan's movements were very slow, which stemmed from the fact that his "handful of gold" was too full, but Rao was cautious, and he kept getting golden beans falling from his hands and fingers.
Jingle, golden, shining.
It's eye-catching.
The generals of the Takeda family seemed to have their eyes straightened.
But there are more than the generals of the Takeda family, that is, Ii Naohu and Ah Chun, these two girls who have never seen the world, probably the first time they have seen so much gold!
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ikari Mototo knelt down again and bowed.
"Let's go...... If you don't want to be a businessman anymore, remember to come to Kai, the gate of my faith, and I welcome Ikaru-kun. ”
Shingen seemed to be in a good mood, and finally gave Ikari Motodu a blank check.
Ikari Mototo and the others left the camp of the Takeda family, and bypassed a mountain road, and when all the people who arrived at the Takeda family disappeared from view, Cheng Masachi looked up to the sky and laughed.
If there is one word to describe his current mood, it is:
It's so cool!
What Kai Tiger, what Kanto Daimyo Daimyo, is not Tuan Tuan Tuan who was deceived by him?
"The name Ikari Motodo is so strange."
Ah Shi whispered softly in Cheng Zheng's arms.
"Ikari Mototo is a good name, I used it before I arrived at my destination!"
As if announcing to the public (in fact, there are only three) women, Cheng Zheng took the name "Ikari Yuandu" as his own.
"Ahra? What's a strange name...... If you want me to say that Takeda Shingen is generous, he just rewarded a handful of gold, is Kai so rich? ”
Ah Chun, a little money fan, had already put away the handful of golden beans and held it in his arms for fear of being taken away by someone.
"Just a handful of gold to buy you girl? Guess how much the other party gave me when I was rewarded for the first time. ”
"Hmm...... Or? ”
Ah Chun tilted his head and asked, and his forehead immediately ate a chestnut.
"One or two? Have you begun to despise your husband and my strength? ”
"But...... One or two is really a lot. ”
Ah Chun covered his head and defended innocently.
"Guess what, tiger girl."
"I guess so...... An article? ”
Jing Yi Naohu said the number slowly, and then smiled at Cheng Zheng.
I'll you...... Tiger girl, when did you become black-bellied?
Cheng Zheng didn't bother to complain, reached out and gently patted Ah Shi's buttocks.
"Ah Shi, tell these two turtles, how much money did your master and I get for the first reward!"
"Ahh …… The first time the master was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, and the place was Inabayama Castle...... Can you stop spanking, it hurts! ”
"Hey...... You know how good I am. ”
Cheng Zheng was triumphant, leaving a handsome back for Ah Chun and Jing Naoto, whose mouths had become O-shaped and already stunned.
Not far away, a brown shadow moved.
If you don't pay attention, probably no one will recognize that this shadow is actually a person.
Deep Snow cautiously followed behind Cheng Zheng, and also looked behind him from time to time. She pressed one ear to the ground and listened carefully, estimating the distance of the ninja behind her, and suddenly threw a branch in front of her right.
Biu! Biu! Biu!
Several ninja darts hit the branches, breaking them into four.
A smile tugged at the corner of Deep Snow's mouth.
It's been a long time since I've seen this heartbeat.
Since he was sent to Mino that year, six years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been too long since he experienced such a life-and-death struggle.
Six years have passed, but Shenxue's skills have not been wasted, and she has made up her mind to be a burden to the two who follow Sasa Chengzheng behind her...... They seem to be the ninjas of the Takeda family.
Deep Snow quietly tightened her face towel and crept into the bushes.
***
At the same time, in the camp of the Takeda family, Takeda Nobuyoshi was sitting at his desk, moving his pen like a fly.
This is a letter addressed to his eldest brother, Shingen Takeda.
In the letter, he recounted in detail the experience of the fall of Kiso-Fukushima Castle and yesterday's siege battle, and finally asked Shingen for advice on the next course of action.
To put it bluntly, is it a siege or a collection of troops?
After the letter was written, Xin Fan immediately sent someone to send it out.
However, he stood outside the tent and thought for a long time, repeatedly recalling every detail of Ikari Motodu, and felt more and more chills down his spine.
Is Ikari Yuandu's ambition to be a big businessman like Lü Buwei?
Klu Buwei ...... Just a businessman?
He had never seen a businessman who could respond so calmly to the interrogation of a country's daimyos.
Ikari Motodu ...... Is he a businessman or not? Or to put it another way-
Ikari Motodu ...... Who exactly?
is ridiculous, and even rewarded him with a handful of gold for rewarding his ambition...... Takeda Shinshihiro quickly reacted, and returned to the account to pick up the brush and brush to write the letter.
Unlike the one that was made, this letter was addressed to the Takeda family's military advisor, Kansuke Yamamoto.
The content of the letter is also very simple:
"Recently, if there is a man named Ikari Mototo in Shinano territory, please be sure to arrest him."
Immediately after that, he had the letter delivered.
Three days later, in the evening, Nobu Shigeru's first letter was delivered to the Tsugikan.
Takeda Shingen first skimmed through the letter, then read it carefully, and was so angry that he slammed the folding fan on his thigh.
"Yoshiryu Saito...... Shafts are abominable! ”
Xinxuan's fire has not yet been sent, and another surname has sent him the next letter.
Nani? Yoshiryu Saito's letter?
