Chapter Seventy-One: Adventures in the Barracks
Just after everyone followed Yanagi Shibei away, the confused Carl got up, the onmyoji who was full of urine smell was really terrible, and he didn't have the beauty of that beautiful boy at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Bathed in the scorching and blazing sun, and of course the ill-intentioned gaze of the melon-eating crowd, Carl (Matsuda Shingo) ran desperately panting while complaining sadly about the unreliability of the crew.
But there is also the same unlucky guy who accompanies him.,That is, the aristocratic samurai who runs through the streets of Nagasaki together for I don't know when.,It seems that it's called Tokugawa Hideaki or something......
It's natural to have a companion, but this one doesn't smell very good, and the smell of urine goes straight to the nose, and crying while running is like a POI!
"Noble lord, can't you stay away from me?"
"I can't! I feel like I'm going to die being despised by so many poor people, and only a gentle teenager can soothe my wounded body and soul! ”
"Then you go home, it's just a nameless onmyoji who doesn't meet the above requirements at all...... Get your hands off me! Don't run with me! ”
"Please, please...... I can't run anymore...... Speaking of which, why did we run away with medicine? ”
As soon as he said this, Karl's heart was broken, but he must not slow down, because there was a childish child's voice behind him again.
"Where did they go?"
"This way! The pess samurai is here! ”
"Hunt them down! We're going to destroy the bad guys for the Emperor! ”
A group of children who didn't know what to do were shouting loudly, and they were chasing and killing the two of them with various wooden knives and swords in their hands, just like they were playing games.
Although Carl and Tokugawa Hideaki are both adults, and it doesn't matter if he takes a little bit of rough skin and thick meat, he doesn't have a hobby of masochism after all, and it's not easy to fight back: if you slap it casually, this kid will have to become tender meat sauce!
So the only thing to do is to run away quickly, but the adult citizens in this neighborhood, after seeing a group of little children trying to surround the samurai and onmyoji, all showed a look of schadenfreude, and even waved their fists and shouted loudly......
Thanks to the generous policies of the Tokugawa family, the citizens would not be punished too much no matter how much they mocked the low-level samurai, and the middle-level and upper-class people would not be as embarrassed as Karl and Tokugawa Hideaki, who were simply clowns.
Due to the applause and cheers of a number of onlookers, these little children suddenly became more energetic, and the fight became more fierce for a while.
"I can't stand it! I'm going to fight back! ”
"Calm down! Calm down! They're just children, are you going to kill them as samurai!? ”
"This, this...... Ahhh Come with me, let's go to the barracks! ”
"Huh?"
Finally, near the entrance of the Tokugawa army's garrison, the captain of the garrison team discovered the situation, and immediately roared loudly and waved his club, driving the little children away.
And before the unlucky two had time to catch their breath, they quickly slipped to Tokugawa Hideaki's residence, and if they didn't take a shower and change their clothes, they would be depressed!
Not long after he got into the bathhouse, a few people walked in, as if they were looking for Tokugawa Hideaki to come out or do something.
"Isn't it, as a nobleman, you still share baths?"
"It's nice to have a place to take a bath, and I'm not the head of the family who can enjoy it alone!"
Carl covered his face, never expecting to be seen by a man today (wonderful thought), and was surprised to find that things didn't seem to be what he had imagined.
A few people strolled over, a young man wearing a Songguo costume with long flowing hair, a fat man who looked obscene but very energetic, and a few foreign soldiers who talked and laughed.
"Why don't you look like you're from Dongying?"
"Insightful, the young man is Lu Xiu'an, the staff officer of the mercenary group from Song Guolai, and the fat man is Rodriguez, the transport captain of Xiyi merchant Yuri Orlov, they are all big shots."
"How could a big man come here to take a bath!"
When they saw that Carl, their new bathing companion, was indeed a little nervous, and the other party was very happy after confirming Carl's identity!?
No, this won't be a's den!
Lu Xiuan looked at the guest repeatedly for a long time, and saw that his heart suddenly straightened, and then he let out a long sigh, speaking in a very stiff Nagasaki dialect, shaking his head at the fat man beside him.
"I didn't expect Dongying to have such an outstanding onmyoji boy, I can understand why everyone is so interested in Zhongdao."
Bastard! Sure enough, it's a!
"I'm a serious onmyoji! You're too rude, a Song of the country, did you say that when we first met!? ”
The furious Karl didn't know why he stood up, and pointed at Lu Xiu'an's nose with a roar, completely unaware that his body had already been in full view.
Tokugawa Hideaki, Lu Xiuan, Rodriguez, and the guards stared at Karl in shock, their eyes firmly fixed on some unspeakable area.
"Really, really didn't expect that there would be such a great existence, no wonder my uncle said that he wanted to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles!"
"I really didn't expect to see such a terrible boy outside of Ross, I really don't know what to say!"
"Not bad! That's great! He is worthy of the man that my Tokugawa Hideaki fancies! ”
The audience reacted strongly, and no matter how sluggish Carl was, he noticed that something was wrong, so he could only soak in the water and spit bubbles in frustration.
Of course, these little episodes passed quickly, and in order to welcome the newcomers, the three of them took Carl to hang out in the barracks together.
"That's really no problem, take me a stranger around the barracks...... "Carl is worried about what will happen in this way, in case of any inspection, he will be locked up in a claustrophobic room immediately.
"It's okay, it's okay, no one dares to come here to make trouble now, this is the territory of the head of the family!" Tokugawa Hideaki didn't care at all, and he still had the heart to introduce information to Carl in the military camp.
According to them, the Tokugawa family's army now exceeds 100,000 people, and more than half of the ashigaru are full-time professional soldiers.
Among them, Dongying Tu, Songguo and Batu mercenaries occupy one-third of the troops, although the quality is somewhat uneven, but the strength is still good.
The important thing is that Tokugawa Ieyasu has recently purchased a large number of munitions and supplies, equipped with a 10,000-strong iron artillery team, and a sufficient number of artillery, and the current Toei forces have no chance of winning a field war with him.
"It sounds like it won't take long for Tokugawa-sama to become a shogun?"
"That's not until you're done." Lu Xiufu shrugged and said that he should be more cautious about the war, "It would be nice if the war went so well." ”
Carl nodded, agreeing with his statement, and suddenly there was a crisp chanting sound in his ears, and Tokugawa Hideaki pouted with some disdain, "Cut, that little girl is singing......"
"Little girl?"
"Hmm...... The sister of Emperor Kagura, the hateful girl nicknamed Kuho! ”
