On August 7 of the first year of Yonglu, Sasa Chengzheng passed through his relatives and entered the territory of Vietnam.

Since Cheng Zheng had already sent someone to inform the Shiina family of the news, the people of the Tsunama family learned that reinforcements would arrive in the near future, and they were excited.

In order to show respect for the Zhu family, the family governor Shiina Yasuyin took his sister-in-law Shiina Jingzhi and his retainer Koma Tsuneko out of the city to greet him the next day, August 8.

-- Today was the day when I made an appointment with Sasa Seimasa.

It was past noon, and the small room standing on the side of the road and waiting kept wiping the sweat from his forehead. As the only old man and genealogical retainer of the Shiina family who can be put on the table, Koma Tsunemitsu is the general leader of the family's foreign affairs, although he does vertical and horizontal lip service, but he likes to wear armor. Every time he stood neatly dressed in front of his two hundred standing feet, he always received the cheers and support of the soldiers.

Therefore, when walking in Vietnam and China, Koma Tsuneko often wears armor, but his martial arts are really unbearable.

They had been standing on the side of the road for two hours, and they had already exhausted Tsunemitsu's patience.

"When will the reinforcements from the Lord's family arrive?"

Changguang walked back and forth on the side of the road, and the heavy armor also made a rattling sound, I thought it would be a happy greeting, but Sasa Narumasa was too arrogant, it was almost dark, why wasn't it yet?

This armor was supposed to make Changguang feel heroic and mighty, but as time went by, it became heavier and heavier, pressing on his weak shoulders, as if to break Changguang's neck and waist.

Kang Yin, the governor of the Shiina clan, finally had an impatient expression on his face, and said angrily:

"Stop dangling, it's always light and annoying."

Kang Yin also wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to send the fire to Zuo Chengzheng, besides, he didn't know where Chengzheng was at the moment.

Tsuneko Koma stopped, sighed heavily, and sat down in the shade of a tree, but he sat down and waited for a while before he became impatient again, and paced back and forth in the middle of the road.

Kang Yin was naturally upset when he saw it, and was about to have a seizure, when his sister-in-law Shiina Jingzhi suddenly pointed to the northwest direction and shouted:

"It's coming!"

Everyone looked at the past, but they noticed that a horse was slowly coming from the street in the distance.

However, it was just one man and one horse, and it was not the reinforcement that everyone expected.

Everyone was extremely disappointed again, Kang Yin looked at Jingzhi, and Jingzhi sneered:

"I mean...... Someone's coming...... Nothing more. ”

The stone in Changguang's heart fell and lifted, what, after doing it for a long time, it was not reinforcements that came, and his slow sound of horses' hooves was not reinforcements, but Lu Renjia.

In the crowd, only Shiina Jingzhi's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he still looked up at the rider who came in the distance.

The warrior rode an unusually tall black horse, which glistened in the sunlight and was not a motley color.

Samurai, no, more precisely ronin, the ronin did not have a moon head, but a scruffy ponytail and a gray-black samurai costume that fluttered in the wind like rags.

Just by the unusually miraculous black horse under his crotch, he can conclude that this person is not ordinary, but if he is not ordinary, how can he be just a ronin?

After a few more moments, Jing Zhi saw that the ronin had a huge wine gourd tied around his waist and was wearing an overly long sword—if this knife was used, this person could be regarded as a strong martial artist.

However, when Jing Zhi saw the bearded and slightly sloppy face of the visitor, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise:

"Sure enough, it's him!"

Everyone's attention was once again attracted by Jingzhi's strange appearance, and the family governor Kangyin saw his sister-in-law Jingzhi pointing to the horseback samurai who was gradually approaching:

"It's him, he's him, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng!"

"Nani?"

In Kang Yin's heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses roared by.

Didn't Sasa Narumasa say that he would bring reinforcements over, why is there only one person?

"Are you sure that's Sasa Seimasa?"

"Sure, yes, I saw him a few times in Kasuga Mountain Castle before I came to Echichung, it's this face, it won't be wrong!"

Kang Yin turned his head to look at the samurai on horseback, and found that the man was sitting on the back of the horse and staggering, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, but not only that, but he also wore a flower in his ear, and a pendant made of oyster shells hung around his neck, and when he swayed on the horse, the circle of oyster shell pendants also made a jingling sound.

Kang Yin's head is full of black lines.

Such a person could be Sasa Narimasa of the Megatron Hokuriku and Kanhachi?

If you want to say that this is Maeda Keiji, he still believes a few points, but Sasa Narumasa is already the elder and the first favorite of the Uesugi family, how can he be so out of tune?

"How can this be Sasa Narimasa? Sasa Naruma is also the governor of the Hokuriku daimyo Sasa family, and he has long lived in one of the princes of the world, besides, on New Year's Day this year, I saw the lord of Nachizosuke once in Kasuga Mountain Castle, and his person is majestic and dignified, and he is by no means such a frivolous charmer! ”

Without waiting for Kang Yin to express the doubts in his heart, Koma Tsuneko had already retorted with spittle, he thought that he had seen Sasa Seimasa, but in fact, he only glanced at it from a distance at that time, so he immediately lowered his head, the reason why he was so sure was that he took it for granted that Seimasa, who was the governor of the Sasa family, would not be a wonder.

Seeing that Tsuneko Koma was so determined, Nagao Keinao couldn't help but wonder if he was mistaken, but the samurai dismounted beside everyone, and after taking a look around, he actually said directly to him:

"It's been a long time, Jing Zhijun, you've grown up too, are you having a good time at the Shiina family?"

Nagao Jingzhi no longer had any doubts about his memory at this time, and responded awkwardly at the moment:

"Thank you, Zozo, I'm fine here."

Yes?

Shiina Yasuyin and Koma Tsuneshi looked at each other, and 10,000 grass and mud horses roared past in their hearts.

Is this person really Sasa Chengzheng?

Before they could react from the shock, Zuo Zuo Chengzheng already arched his hand to them with a smile and said:

"These two, presumably the family governor Kang Yin and the old and young gentlemen of the family, have seen two of them in Xia Zuozuo Chengzheng."

Kang Yin and Koma Tsuneko hurriedly returned the salute.

Although Yasuyin Shiina felt that Chengzheng's words and deeds were strange, he was surprised by the posture of Chengzheng's stranger, and he didn't have much bad feelings, but Koma Tsuneko was not.

Koma took it for granted that Jingzhi's statement was not Sasa Chengzheng, but then Chengzheng revealed his identity, which undoubtedly slapped him in the face. What's more, Sasa Narumasa calls Shiina Yasuyin is an honorific title, but when he calls himself, he becomes "Koma-kun", what kind of goods is he, he dares to call himself like this?

Koma is resentful at the moment, but he has already turned a blind eye to Chengzheng's identity as a daimyo, and he is furious because of Chengzheng's contempt for him.

Since this is the case, it is impossible to let him please him no matter what, Koma Changguang said:

"Zuo Zang helped Chengzheng, you said in your letter that you would bring reinforcements to arrive today, but today you are the only one, not to mention the broken promise, but even more to the prestige of the Lord, if you delay the military plane, resulting in the defeat of our army, how do you explain?"

Koma Tsunemitsu's words are menacing, the hat of "delaying the military plane" is big and heavy, but it is also quite reasonable, although Shiina Yasuyin felt that it was inappropriate for him to do this, but he also had the meaning of letting Koma test the government first.

It seems that Sasa Chengzheng is completely blind to the malice and wit in Xiao Jian's words, but he just reached out and scratched the back of his head, and said with embarrassment:

"On the way, I was greedy for the scenery, so I came a little late, and I was very embarrassed. As for the reinforcements, I really didn't miss the appointment, and this time the reinforcements are indeed only me. ”

Nani?

One man's reinforcements? (To be continued.) )
