As soon as he returned to the castle tower, Kira Yoshi, who was looking proud, suddenly heard a girl's voice from behind him: "I also want to be His Highness's side room!" ”

This voice frightened Kira Yoshitoki, and when he turned around, he saw Chiyo Mochizuki kneeling honestly behind him, her big eyes blinking, as if to say, "You just agree!" ”

Kira Yoshishi was shocked and angry: "What are you talking about? ”

"Chiyonu is also going to be the side room of Her Highness!" Chiyo Mochizuki replied seriously.

"But how do you know?" As if the private thoughts in his heart had been discovered, Kira Yoshishi said angrily: "...... All right! You must be eavesdropping on the corner again, right? ”

"Because Chiyo Nu is His Highness's personal ninja, Chiyo Nu knows what His Highness does!" Chiyo Mochizuki had wide eyes, and two horn braided buns dangled back and forth, making his eyes dizzy.

"Didn't I say you couldn't get too close to me? Wait, you just said it all? Kira Yoshitoki repeated it in a gentle tone as much as possible.

Chiyo Mochizuki shook her pigtails and said as she should, "Yes! All of them! Chiyo Nu, who likes to sleep naked, also knows! ”

"Bastard! Don't be so loud! Don't talk about sleeping naked! Kira Yoshitoki hurriedly covered the little girl's mouth, and then said with palpitations: "Even Koshiro doesn't know about this matter, how did you know...... Hawkers, forget it, remember not to snoop on my privacy in the future, do you understand? ”

"But didn't His Highness let Chiyo be a personal ninja?" Chiyo Mochizuki asked suspiciously.

Kira Yoshitoki explained embarrassedly: "Ahem...... The words of the personal ninja don't mean to let you stare at me and sleep naked. ”

"What does that mean?" Chiyo Mochizuki asked with a confused expression.

“…… Don't worry too much about the details! You'll understand! Kira Yoshitoki waved a folding fan to end Chiyo Mochizuki's questioning, and said, "That's right! What did you just say? To do my side room? Why do you think this way? ”

"Because Chiyo Nu was originally going to be His Highness's side room!" Chiyo Mochizuki said very firmly.

“…… What kind of logic is this? "Kira Yoshishi was shocked again. Is it hard to say that I am walking on peach blossom luck?

"Because the fate of a female ninja is to make a side room for the lord or something. Although Chiyonu doesn't understand very well. But that's what my father told Chiyome! Chiyo Mochizuki replied confidently.

"Na...... Nani? Has your father seen you? When did it happen? "Kira Yoshitoki felt that his head was not enough.

"Just now, before Chiyonu spoke to Her Highness."

"Bastard, how did he come and go without a trace? Why didn't Hattori Masaaki find out? And Koshiro! Where did this big bastard go? "Kira Yoshishi's anger is unforgivable, and this is simply an unforgivable sin.

"That mysterious uncle seems to have seen my father! Koshiro is probably still sleeping under the porch! ”

"Sure enough, the world of ninjas is hard to understand!" Kira Yoshitoki still decided to continue to move in: "Okay! Let's not dwell on this issue...... Tell me why your father asked you to be my side room! ”

"Because my father said that His Royal Highness is a well-equipped person, if it weren't for his official duties, he would definitely follow His Highness in person!"

"But the last time I saw him, he obviously refused me very strongly! It's only been less than half a year and it's turned 180 degrees, is this kind of behavior really okay? ”

Chiyo Mochizuki covered her red little face and said shyly, "Although I don't understand what His Highness is saying." But Chiyo women are so happy! ”

"Bastard! Don't make an expression full of little stars! I'm not going to eat you! ”

Chiyo Mochizuki held her little head, her two big eyes blinked, and she said with a serious expression: "Your Highness likes to say something that Chiyo doesn't understand!" So Chiyo decided that she must be Her Highness's side room! ”

"Bastard! What do you mean? Didn't you really want to be my side room just now? ”

"What I said just now was my father's order, but Chiyonu now wants to be His Highness's side room! Chiyo likes Her Highness to say a bunch of things she doesn't understand! Chiyome Mochizuki looked at him with a look of adoration.

……

With the end of the Battle of Katsuragawa, Kira Yoshitoki's prestige was further enhanced, and it also brought more visitors to Sakamoto Castle, and many merchants from afar chose to set up trading houses here, and merchants from Kinai were more willing to trade here, and of course the recruitment order was more effective.

In the past month, there have been several times more ronins coming to the Kira family to enlist, and as soon as there are more people, the security of Sakamoto Castle Town has become more and more stretched. Many ronins picked quarrels and provoked troubles in this area, which led to the problem of public security lawsuits, so Kira Yoshitoki ordered the horseback general Okochi Kunitsuna to patrol the castle town every day. He also appointed Ogasawara Yasuji, the son-in-law of the Setzu Mori family of the Ogasawara clan, as the security director of Sakamoto Castle Town, and his younger brother Ogasawara Nobumoto, the sister-in-law of the Yasume Mori family of the Hatabea Ogasawara clan, served as Kira Yoshito's close attendant because he had not yet served in the Yuan.

In the process of selecting ronin, Kira Yoshitoshi also found many interesting people, such as Nagasaka Nobunshige, a servant of the Hatagawara clan who served the shogunate in Kyoto, and whose family originally lived in Mikawa Hata-gun, and later came to Kyoto from his father's generation to serve as the shogunate's external judges.

He was originally a first-class master of spearmanship, and since he was a child, he followed his father to learn spearmanship everywhere in Kyoto, and he himself was also proficient in Katori Shinto flow spearmanship, Kofukuji Nagi knife technique, Enryakuji spearmanship and other gunsmanship, but because he was brave and fierce when he was young, he left many dark wounds, and as he grew older, he relapsed and fell from the first-class to the second-rate, and these years of life were very uncomfortable, and he also germinated the idea of taking his son back to his hometown in Mikawa.

It is said that the reputation of Nagasaka Nobushige is not loud, but he has a son who is quite famous in the Kyoto area, and his son is named Nagasaka Kuro Nobumasa, who is said to like to use a large body gun with a blade smeared with vermilion paint, and this gentleman has been challenging back and forth between Kyoroku in Kinai since the Motofu, and he is a brave and ruthless person.

And because I like to challenge martial arts. When the other party should not fight, he waits for an opportunity to insult, provoke, and force the other party to make a move. Therefore, his reputation is not very good. Cai Yuanfu played the nickname "Blood Gun Jiulang" in two or three years, and he himself was not ashamed, but changed his alias to "Nagasaka Blood Gun Jiulang".

Just as Kira Yoshitoki was meeting with Nobunshige Nagasaka, a tall young samurai of seventeen or eighteen years old, carrying a large gun with a red blade, stood in the public area of Sakamoto Castle and shouted, "I'm going to challenge Watanabe Takatsuna and challenge Takigawa Tokiyoshi!" I'm the strongest! Wowha......"

It happened that an old townsman in his sixties passed by him and kindly reminded, "Don't be so loud. Watch out for the crowd coming to you! ”

"Oops! Thank you for the reminder! Nagasaka Nobumasa had already seen a team of Sakamoto Tongxin rushing to hear the noise, and hurriedly ran away with his blood gun, of course he couldn't run out.

"So, in the end, I was caught?" Kira Yoshitoki smiled and watched a group of samurai escorting Nagasaka Nobumasa, Nagasaka Nobumasa He had never heard of this person, but Blood Spear Kuro was indeed a little famous, and he looked at Nagasaka Nobushige with an embarrassed face standing there at a loss, so he smiled and ordered: "Untie him and call Takatsuna over!" ”

"Yes!" Sakamoto glared at Nagasaka Nobumasa unwillingly, and walked away.

But in a moment, Watanabe Takatsuna hurried over. Seeing a young man standing on the Nimaru Sect Field, he didn't pay much attention to passing by him. Walked up to the small castle tower and said respectfully, "Watanabe Takatsuna has seen the hall master!" ”

"You're Watanabe Takatsuna? I'm going to ask you for advice! As soon as Nagasaka Nobumasa heard that this person was Watanabe Takatsuna, he couldn't help but shout.

"Gao Gang, do you see that kid?" Kira Yoshitoki said with a smile: "My family is very optimistic about his talent, teach him a lesson, and leave the rest to you to teach." ”

"Yes!" Watanabe Takatsuna heard the words and took a sickle gun and stood in the field, looked at Nagasaka Nobumasa, who was eager to try, and said, "Real gun trial? ”

"Hmm!" Nagasaka Nobumasa started to attack without saying a word, and the guy who looked a little stunned was really a little bit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and he didn't have stage fright at all when he saw the famous spearman, but wanted to overthrow Watanabe Takatsuna in one fell swoop with his young strength, but he was still a little tender, and he couldn't exert his full strength when he was too excited.

At this time, Watanabe Takatsuna was at the peak of his upright physical strength and skills, and he had just turned thirty years old and was already famous in, and after honing his marksmanship in the war in the past few years, he became more and more unpretentious, so he was not nervous at all in the face of Nagasaka Shin's powerful sweep.

"Lost! Or are you amazing! It's a gun Hanzo! I'm in the service of the bloody gun! Although Nagasaka Nobumasa was a little stunned, he was far from the imaginary nonsense, and after being defeated, he was very single, but then he said: "But I won't be reconciled!" Ten years from now, it will definitely beat you! ”

Watanabe Takatsuna didn't care much about his threat, ten years later, his kid was also an adult, Kira Yoshitoki had promised him to train his son as a genealogy retainer, and his kid was also very competitive, and his talent for gunnery was even stronger than he was back then, and ten years later it was his son Gengoro Watanabe's business.

"Bastard boy! Don't hurry up and thank the owner! "Nobuyshige Nagasaka is a middle-aged samurai in his forties, and he doesn't seem to be anything special, but he is still quite dignified in the face of his son who likes to mess around.

"Yes! Thank you, Lord Inn, for your grace! Nobumasa Nagasaka honestly bowed down and thanked him.

After this little episode, Nagasaka Nobushige and Nobumasa father and son came out of the Shijira family, and his father served as the general of the ashigaru, and concurrently served as the instructor of Mikawa's gunmanship, with a year of 150 kanbun, Nagasaka Nobumasa was compiled into the head of the Akabi group, and the year was 30 kanbun, also because he valued his strong understanding of marksmanship, and it was too wasteful to be a head of the ashigaru samurai.

This kid is very happy to be able to ride a horse to fight, but he hasn't been happy for long before he has a bitter face, the Kira family's red cavalry requirements are extremely strict, first of all, they must be proficient in horseback and then proficient in horse combat skills, so this kid was teased by the red samurai as soon as he came up, and after knowing his weakness in riding, he also worked hard to practice riding.
