Chapter Seventy-Three: A New Beginning
Sanji Zhongyue knelt behind the young man, looking extremely humble, but did not take the initiative to speak.
"Is he gone?" The boy asked.
When Shanzhi Zhongyue heard this, he hurriedly put his hands on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Back to Your Excellency, I have already left." ”
"Well, nothing could go wrong, right?"
"Absolutely not, this person is very greedy, and now he has been completely controlled by the spirit dew, and he doesn't dare to have any other dissent."
"Good, good. The rest of the things have been arranged? ”
"Everything has been arranged, my eldest disciple Shigeaki has already hidden Akiyama Hongyi in the Heian Shrine, and when the time comes, there will be no mistakes with him, the god master, as a cover."
The young man nodded with satisfaction, did not turn back, and asked again, "When will Akiyama Hongyi wake up?" ”
"This ......" Sanji Nakatsugaku hesitated for a moment and said, "This person is the head of the Shinto Sect, and his skills are not trivial. The corpse Gu planted on his mountain will eventually break through the suppression of the true qi in his body, control his consciousness, and uncover the secrets under Mount Fuji, before he can be made up of oviparous worms. ”
"Yes." The young man tapped the folding fan behind his back and said, "Heian Jingu is located in Kyoto, and life is noisy, is it safe?" ”
"Rest assured, the more dangerous the place, the safer. Xiaoyaozi would never have thought that we would hide Akiyama Hiroki in the shrine. Even if he finds out, he will think that it is just Shinto infighting, and he will not suspect outsiders. ”
The young man laughed and said three "good" words in a row, obviously very satisfied with the ampere of Shanzhi Zhongyue.
But Shanzhi Zhongyue did not show a little joy because of the other party's approval, but his face was still unwavering, and the other party didn't ask, so he didn't say a word of nonsense.
"If you keep letting Xiaoyaozi have something to do, he will ignore Bieishan, and when my cultivation is completed and my skills are fully restored, it will be his death."
When the young man said this, it seemed to be insipid and impermanent, but Shan Zhi Zhongyue sounded extremely eerie and terrifying, he didn't answer, knelt there and nodded his head incessantly.
"As for the ally you said, is it really as reliable as you say?"
Sanji Zhongyue was slightly stunned, and then replied: "This person is Koga Ryu Shangnin, and like Zaixia, he has a grudge against Oda Nobunaga, as for his lord, although he has a strong alliance with Oda Nobunaga on the surface, he is an out-and-out careerist, and he is not willing to live under people for a long time, and between him and Nobunaga, there is also a hatred of killing his son." Therefore, if he dares to take his life as a guarantee, at least until he gets rid of Oda Nobunaga and takes control of the imperial court, this person is absolutely reliable. ”
The young man sighed "En", thoughtfully, and basically agreed with Shanzhi Zhongyue's statement, and then spoke: "That night, Long Shaocong was demonic, and he fought with my senior brother on a par, did you really see it with your own eyes?" ”
When Sanji Zhongyue heard this, he finally got down to business, and replied carefully: "Back to Your Excellency, it is indeed what I have seen with my own eyes. ”
"But this siege by wolves has pushed him to a desperate situation, why can't he stimulate the Nine Yuan True Qi in this kid's body?"
Shanzhi Zhongyue had already thought of a countermeasure, and said: "In the next opinion, it should be the yellow talisman on his chest that is to blame. ”
"Well, that yellow charm is indeed not simple, since it is a gift from a clear son, it must be a little strange."
"I also think that the people of Middle-earth are outstanding spirits, presumably some kind of strange thing, which can avoid demons and evils, and the four disciples have already succeeded in listening to them, but unfortunately they were disturbed by Xiaoyaozi." After Shanzhi Zhongyue finished speaking, he sighed regretfully, but this sentence skillfully turned the disciple's arbitrariness into his own credit.
"Continue to stare at Long Shaocong, and don't touch him for the time being until you find out what the yellow talisman on his chest is."
The young teenager gave the order again.
"Your Excellency is wise, with this kid's current strength, he can't make much of a fuss, so I will let Xinting continue to monitor him, and by the way, find out what is in the yellow talisman?"
The young boy did not say anything more, but stood there motionless.
According to past experience, Sanji Nakagaku knew that the other party's words had been finished and it was time to leave, so he didn't say anything more, but bowed his body and made a gesture of sending off the guest.
But the young man did not leave, as if he remembered something again, shook the folding fan, and said, "How did I personally explain your affairs last time?" ”
"Back to Your Excellency, I have sent to inquire clearly, the girl's name is Niwa Meizhu, she is the newly adopted daughter of Niwa Nagahide, the lord of Sazhiyama Castle, she was called Meizi before, and she came from Panxi Village with Long Shaocong, and she was also on the spot when she was fighting for wine at night. As for her and his ancestors, after many investigations, they learned that it was the Heian period, and Watanabe Tsunada, one of the four heavenly kings under the throne of General Minamoto Yorimitsu, later changed his family and was given the surname of Aizawa......"
Hearing this, the young man's right arm trembled obviously, and he sighed and said, "So that's ......."
It was the first time that Sanji Nakagaku saw that the other party had such a big mood swing, but he continued as if he hadn't noticed it: "And in the course of the investigation, I found out that this woman has a grandfather named Nobu Aizawa, this person is a medical officer under Oda Nobunaga, and he is quite concerned about the madness of the girl in the city, and I am afraid that if he finds out the clues, it will bring us great trouble, so it is better to ......"
After saying this, Shanzhi Zhongyue raised his eyes slightly and looked at the other party, his words could not be clearer, that is, killing people and destroying their mouths......
The young man pondered for a moment and said, "Even if you measure him as a medical officer, you can't find a single ugly person, this matter is quite secret, unless it is the Shinto Sect and Xiaoyaozi who personally investigate, and we have taken precautions, so you don't have to pay attention to it for the time being, do what is important." ”
Sanji Zhongyue nodded yes, without a word of justification.
The young man said: "Send someone to keep an eye on Miss Meizi, and her treatment will be the same as Long Shaocong in the future." ”
Sanji Zhongyue still nodded yes, but when he raised his head, the front was empty, and in the blink of an eye, the young man had gone.
Sanji Zhongyue breathed a sigh of relief, came out of the secret door, and shouted to the outside: "Spread the soul and the heart to come to see me......"
He started a new conspiracy against Long Shaocong, and our protagonist was also riding a tall horse at this time and started a new journey.
Since that day and everyone in the forest broke up, Long Shaocong ran all the way to Azuchi Castle, he guessed that the military rations and materials were destroyed, and Oda Katsucho and the others would not go to Yamato Country again, but should return to Azuchi Castle to gather grain and grass, and then send it to the army.
As a result, he really guessed it, and in the middle of the trip, he met the Oda soldiers who came to look for him, and the people who led the team were Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi.
The army was attacked by wild ambushes and wolves, and almost all of them were wiped out, and Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi were the only two infantry soldiers to survive, so when they returned to Azuchi Castle, they were promoted to the head of the Ashigaru group at the same time, and from then on, each of them could command more than a dozen men.
And after they were promoted, their first task was to go out of the city to find Long Shaocong. Of course, the two of them gladly accepted the order, they knew the relationship between Long Shaocong and Oda Katsunaga, if this matter was done, they would definitely receive a good reward, even if they would not be promoted again, there was still hope for increasing the number of Yulu.
Of course, as brothers from Panxi Village, the two were also very worried about Long Shaocong's safety, so they didn't rest for a day, and immediately returned the same way and embarked on a journey to find Long Shaocong.
As a result, these two boys were really lucky, and they met the lucky star who was promoted and made a fortune halfway through.
When the two saw that Fuxing was safe and sound, they hugged Long Shaocong and couldn't stop laughing, which made Long Shaocong embarrassed, and he couldn't figure out that his charm was too great, and these two boys were suspected of breaking their sleeves.
The reunion of the three people after the catastrophe is not left with joy.
Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi asked Long Shaocong to hurry up and get on the horse and set off to return to Azuchi Castle, saying that this horse was personally explained by the young lord Katsucho and specially prepared for him, because although they are now the leader, they are still infantry and light and are not qualified to ride a horse at all, so the two of them complained all the way, but there was no way, so the horse went all the way with an empty saddle.
Regarding the words of these two bastard boys, Long Shaocong thinks that the first half of the sentence is still reliable, and as for the second half of the sentence, he will not believe it if he is killed. Because he saw Yoshimaru walking all the way on his horse from a distance, and it was not until he saw that it was him that he quickly turned over and dismounted.
It is estimated that along the way, Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi must have wasted a lot of saliva over who would ride this horse, and the result of their quarrel must be to take turns sitting in the village.
But he was not easy to expose, and in the end, he had to pretend to be extremely reluctant under the sincere concession of the two, turned over and rode on the war horse.
The group walked slowly on the rugged mountain road and headed straight for Azuchi Castle.
Along the way, Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi, separated from the left and right of the war horse, regardless of the east and west, one will recall the quiet years of Panxi Village, and the other will say that when the evil wolf chased Long Shaocong, due to the order of the main general, he did not go to the rescue, and his heart was very uneasy, and in the end there was really nothing else to say, and the two chatted about the food in the army, this was too salty, that was not in harmony with the appetite, chattering, and talking endlessly.
Long Shaocong guessed that these two bastards must not have held back any good fart, and finally couldn't help but say: "What do you two want to say, hurry up, don't detour me again." ”
When Yamaguchi heard this, he smiled violently, which frightened Long Shaocong, thinking that he had something to say, and hurriedly turned his head to look at him, but this kid bared his teeth and laughed twice, and he didn't even let out a fart.
Long Shao was angry and crooked on the side of the horse, almost not falling off, looking at Yamaguchi's silly appearance, he really wanted to learn from Yoshimaru and kick him in the ass.
At this time, Yoshimaru on the other side said indignantly: "He has handed over the peach blossom luck, and every day he is like a nymphomaniac, and he even dreams and giggles." ”
When Long Shaocong heard it immediately, he said excitedly: "Good thing, which girl is it?" ”
Yamaguchi spoke at this time, and replied happily: "It was the young master Yuan Dress Ceremony, the girl we saved." ”
The girl who was saved at the Yuan dress ceremony? Long Shaocong couldn't think of it for a while, and turned his head to look at Ji Maru again, and found that the other party was there lucky, as if everyone in the world owed him money, and suddenly a fragrant hill trembled, and a graceful ketone body as pure as jade appeared in Long Shaocong's mind.
It turned out to be her, Long Shaocong remembered the funny scene that day, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but he was embarrassed to attack in front of the mountain pass, so he had to hold back and say: "Well, it's good, it's good......"
"Sadako is a good girl, very nice to me, very considerate......"
"What? What do you say her name is, Sadako? When Long Shaocong heard this name at first glance, he almost didn't fall off his horse, just because he thought of a horror movie made by the island country in the future, and he didn't feel creepy.
Long Shaocong's extraordinary reaction shocked both Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi, and they said almost in unison: "Are you okay?" ”
Long Shaocong immediately came to his senses, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, in this way, I'll congratulate Yamaguchi." After saying that, he smiled, and secretly said that if it was really the Sadako in the later generations, what would Yamaguchi's kid be scared of.
Yamaguchi didn't know what Long Shaocong was thinking now, and when he heard Shaocong congratulate him, his fat face was full of happy smiles.
Yoshimaru sighed for a long time on the side, his eyes were full of envy, and he was still indignant that he had contributed a lot to that day, but he was picked up cheaply by Yamaguchi.
Long Shaocong thought that once this matter passed, the two of them would have nothing to talk about, and he could take a little rest right away.
But I heard Yamaguchi say again: "Shaocong, we still have something serious to tell you." ”
When Long Shaocong heard this, he immediately greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the two people in his heart, it turned out that he had just said so much, it was all idle nonsense. He was angry in his heart, and snorted on his horse, but did not answer.
Yoshimaru took over the conversation and said, "You see that we have now achieved the head of the ashigaru group, and the size is also an official, so I want to discuss with you and change the name." ”
When Long Shaocong heard this, he said in his heart whether you change your name or not, it's my business, and I just wanted to say something to refute, but I heard Ji Maru say again: "As for the new name, don't bother you, we have already thought about it, but we each occupy a word in your name, and I want to ask for your consent." ”
Long Shaocong was completely defeated by these two living treasures, and snorted on the horse: "Then let's listen to it." ”
As soon as Yamaguchi heard the spirit, he immediately preemptively said: "He changed his name to Aihara Shaoji, and my name, Sadako also thought of it for me, taking the mountain character of my original name and the stream character of Panxi Village, called Yamaxi Ryuichi." After speaking, he looked intoxicated.
At first glance, Long Shaocong felt that the name given by Yamaguchi was indeed better than that of Yoshimaru, it seemed that the family had a good wife to help, and the names were loud, and now that people had their own names, he couldn't spoil their fun.
Therefore, Long Shaocong had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, and searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and tried his best to praise the two of them with gorgeous rhetoric.
When the two of them heard this, they were both very excited, especially Yamaguchi said happily: "Now that we are the head of the Ashigaru group, we will make meritorious contributions in the future and become a retainer of the Oda family, and I will marry Sadako, and from today, it will be our new journey." ”
Yoshimaru didn't raise the bar with Yamaguchi this time, and the two of them looked at each other and nodded heavily.
When the old and young heard this on the horse, they were also quite touched, especially Yamaguchi's words, which reminded him of what Princess Hideko once said to herself, "Panjun made meritorious service early".
Thinking of this, Long Shaocong couldn't help but put his hand into his arms, touched the sleeve of the princess gave him and the fan, suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and said secretly: Everything that has happened in recent days is almost related to himself, it seems that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, he came to this troubled world, it is impossible to live in peace, instead of being depressed, it is better to fight hard, so that he will give his beloved a good home.
Unconsciously, the pretty figure of Princess Xiuzi appeared in front of her, Long Shaocong was overjoyed, his legs clamped the horse's belly, the horse left the string, raised all the dust, and ran straight to the shadow in his heart......
Yoshimaru and Yamaguchi were silent in infinite anticipation, when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and the two of them couldn't stop coughing, and scolded angrily: "Long Shaocong, you bastard! ”
