The Lateral Crowd was established by Kira Manmatsumaru after Oda Nobunaga's strategy, and promoted outstanding talents from the small surnames who were loyal to them, and the advantages of promoting the small surnames were many, they had the loyalty of the retainers who were not inferior to the genealogy, they were young and lacked utilitarian thoughts, and at the same time they had a strong desire to make meritorious contributions, and they were more loyal and reliable than those genealist retainers who were hungry for profit.

Zenjiro's full name is Yamaoka Zenjiro Naocho, from the Kora's branch of the Okayama clan, his father is Yamaoka Chikugo Shouyaoxin, the Okayama clan has been cut off for decades, Kira Manmatsumaru's father once considered letting the Yamaoka family inherit the lineage, but later because the Kira family's power in Higashimikawa and Enoe was quickly uprooted by the Imagawa family, and the family business began to decline and gave up.

Yamaoka Zenjiro is the second son of the family, he has no inheritance rights, he has been sent to Kira's family as a small surname since he was a child, and being able to lead Kira's side as the head of Kira's side is also related to his personal performance, standing out in the fierce competition within the Kira family, there is still some ability.

It's also a semi-formal group, and the older ones are transitioning to the Ma Hui and ordinary retainers, while the younger ones continue to serve as the little ones, and before they really become retainers, using the name of the flanks to strengthen the cohesion and loyalty of this group of people is also one of the small tricks that can be played under the nose of the old monster Yamamoto Kansuke.

In order to show that today's homework has not been delayed, Kira Manmatsu Maru has slashed dozens of times in one breath, each time there is an eight-point force, castration is not exhaustive, this is probably what it means, if it is not a life and death crisis, there is no need to break out 200% of the power, every outbreak is a waste of effort, the outbreak in the art of war is only in the heaviest moment of killing, such as a knife as fierce as a fatal blow, in the final analysis, the art of war or kendo is a violent art used to kill the enemy, and there is no chance for you to play tricks on the battlefield of real life and death.

This time, the cultivation effect is far better than imagined, but I simply want to swing the knife and slash, according to the fixed breathing rhythm, the rhythm of each slash is just right, this rhythm is an indescribable feeling, as if you can use eight points of strength to get to the right target position with a wave of your hand, inhale, luck, exert force, retract the knife, exhale, and so on and so on, and at this moment it seems that everything is far away from him, and there is only the big tree in his eyes.

Bang bang bang!

Just as he slowly closed his eyes and recalled this short period of cultivation experience, there was a burst of applause in the distance, and Yamamoto Kansuke limped over, and his face, which had not been smiling for many years, also bloomed like an ugly flower, and said with a little relief: "Congratulations to the Pavilion Master on taking the first step on the road of the art of war!" Soon, you will become a great art of war! What a joy! ”

Kira Manmatsumu nodded in response with a smile, but he maliciously speculated in his heart: "What do you mean by this?" Is it implying that I practiced for three years before I embarked on the path of the real art of war, and then I was a fool? ”

"Congratulations to the Pavilion Master, the first sincerity of the Art of War!" Zenjiro suddenly shouted and knelt down first, and then all of them knelt down with a hula, and only those people behind Kansuke Yamamoto were not embarrassed to stand there in embarrassment.

This was not the opportunity to investigate the meaning of Yamamoto Kansuke's words, he could only smile and raise his hands falsely, and said to the crowd close to him: "Gentlemen, please get up!" ”

"Your Excellency! That's all for today's practice! Your Majesty still has important things to report! Kansuke Yamamoto took the opportunity to walk forward, leading Kira Manmatsumaru towards Ohiroma, and then whispered: "Your Majesty's wooing of the Nishimikawa Hao clan has achieved initial results, please let your subordinates report!" ”

"Oh? All right! Let's go to Ohiroma! Kira Manmatsumaru smiled at the stranger behind Kansuke Yamamoto, then handed the wooden sword in his hand to Yamaoka Zenjiro, and walked into the Ohiroma and sat down.

After everyone sat down, Yamamoto Kansuke leaned forward and said in a loud voice: "This is His Royal Highness Hattori Iwami Mori, Iwami Moriden admires his family very much, so today his subordinates came to meet the owner of the hall!" ”

"Hattori?" Kira Manmatsumu was stunned for a moment, thinking about it carefully, this name seemed to be very familiar, and then immediately his eyes widened, and he looked at Hattori Iwamimori Mamoru who was sitting opposite Yamamoto Kansuke very unexpectedly, and asked, "Hattori family?" Is it the Hattori family from Iga? ”

"It's the Hattori clan from Iga!" Hattori Baocho paused in surprise, and then responded eagerly: "The next clan has a slight reputation in Iga, but I didn't expect the Lord of the Imperial Pavilion to have heard of it!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Iga's reputation is quite big! Kira Manmatsumaru smiled dryly to hide the past, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to the group of people behind Hattori Baocho, as if searching for someone.

Hattori Baochang is a middle-aged man in his thirties, although the samurai uniform he wears is very clean, but it can be seen from the wear and tear on the corners that this dress has been worn for some years, and his appearance is ordinary and ordinary, only the two black and shiny beards on his lips are quite imposing.

It is very surprising news that the Mikami Shinobu clan, a wealthy clan of Iga Province close to Kinai, would be exiled to the relatively remote Mikawa country, and the reputation of the Hattori clan in the Mikawa country is almost non-existent, and no one seems to know that the Matsudaira family hired them, and of course no one knows why the Hattori family came to Mikawa Province.

"Iga's Hattori clan, Hattori Hanzo?" Kira Manmatsu reconfirmed.

Hattori's body shook, as if he wanted to look up at him, but he couldn't help himself, and the ninjas of the Hattori clan couldn't help but look at each other, and no one knew what the meaning was in their eyes, only to see Hattori Baochang bow his head and reply, "Yes!" Hattori Masaburo Hocho participates in the Kirakan owner-sama! It's really from Iga.,Hattori Hanzo just claims to be in the next home.,How did the owner of the museum know the name of the next one? ”

As soon as he said this, Kira Manmatsumu realized that he had made a mistake again, Hanzo was the secret title of the head of the Hattori family, and at this time the Hattori clan was not famous, not to mention knowing the secret title of their clan, even if there were few people who knew the specific whereabouts of the Hattori clan, so the Hattori security chief couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard Kira Manmatsumu call this open secret at first glance.

"Is Hanzo the title of Iwamiden? It seems that the subordinates are lonely and unheard, and even the lord of the pavilion knows about it, but the ministers have no way of knowing, this is really ......" Yamamoto Kansuke held his chin with one hand and rubbed his messy mustache, and a strange gaze erupted in his single eye and patrolled back and forth on Kira Manmatsumaru's body, and his cold sweat was about to come out.

"This family is also hearsay...... It's just hearsay! Kira Manmatsu Pill secretly said badly, opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned briskly, "It's so hot today!" It's really hard for Iwami and the Hattori family to come at noon! ”

Hattori didn't dare to say much, but he just gossiped for a while, Yamamoto Kansuke seemed to have forgotten the question just now, and the old god was still holding the teacup and took a sip every once in a while, and after Kira Manmatsumu finally fooled the past, he wiped his cold sweat and secretly thought: "In the future, you have to remember not to expose your flaws in front of the old man Yamamoto, otherwise your pigtails will catch more and more every month!" ”

Just now he was so excited that he called Hattori Hanzo's name broken, and then he was directly suspected by Yamamoto Kansuke, looking at the old man's inexplicable eyes, he felt goosebumps all over his body, and he didn't know how to be unlucky enough to encounter this kind of thing, and even the excitement of seeing the Hattori family was dispelled a lot.
