After walking along the six-meter-wide crack for nearly ten meters, I finally came to another exit from the crack.

Walking to the exit and looking inside, Masahiro couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of him. On the other side of the fissure is a small canyon surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is nearly two miles long from north to south, and extends from east to west to the foot of the highest peak of Notaka Mountain (about 200 meters above sea level). Masahiro initially estimated that if the fields here were completely reclaimed, at least more than 300 people could be fed the food problem. The hills on the north and south sides are rising at 30 degrees, and the highest point is about 80 meters, although it is not very high, but it forms a natural barrier, and it is basically difficult to find other entrances except for the cracks at the entrance. Looking at this canyon, Zheng Liang suddenly had a good idea in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more eager to eliminate the bandits inside and take this place for himself.

At this time, the two little guys who were originally in charge of guarding the entrance had already marched to the distant town in advance according to Kosuke's arrangement. Masato made a little arrangement, and then led the team to move on. After coming to the edge of the town, the team was divided into two teams, one team temporarily stayed at the edge of the town and waited for reinforcements immediately after the cottage gate was captured, and the other team was led by Masaara, a total of eight people wearing bandit clothes marched towards the gate of the cottage, and Yusuke still walked in front with Oishi Taro in charge of opening the cottage gate. Although there is infighting going on in the cottage, in order to prevent accidents, it is safer to approach the cottage in this way.

The team marched all the way and saw a cottage built along a small hill in the distance. The walls of the cottage are made of wood and mud and stone, and the lowest point is about two meters. However, the cottage area is very large, basically including the entire hill, and the houses are distributed along the hill, with an overall area of about 20 acres. There are some small mud huts scattered around the path, and now all the small mud huts have wooden doors closed, and through the cracks in the small windows of the wooden houses, you can vaguely see a pair of eyes looking nervously at their team.

Soon, the team came to the door of the cottage. I saw that the gate of the cottage was ajar, and some traces of fighting could be seen on the ground, and even a few blood stains were found, but no one was seen. Masarashi quickly arranged for men to occupy the gate, and then sent someone to inform Tsuda Hiromune, who was on the edge of the town, to come and join him immediately. After arranging everything, the lucky one who entered the inside of the cottage in advance to inquire about the situation also returned.

"Your Highness, Banshi Saburo has already attacked the courtyard of Oishino Er, and now they are fighting fiercely, and the specific situation is not very clear because they dare not approach. But ......" Kosuke had a look on his face that wanted to stop talking.

"Go on", Masarashi glanced at Kosuke and ordered.

"Your Highness, the villain met Tadajiro and them while checking the situation", Kosuke replied immediately.

"Oh? You mean the bandits who have always been neutral? From the information provided by the two children, Masahiro also knew that these bandits also took the opportunity to enter the cottage and prepare to fish in troubled waters.

"Yes, Your Highness. They were originally going to take advantage of the chaos to rescue the villain's wife and daughter", Kosuke looked moved, "Please forgive your Highness, in order to persuade them to surrender to Your Highness, I told them some of the circumstances of Your Highness, and after knowing the situation of His Highness Michi, Tadajiro and they expressed their willingness to surrender, but they need to talk to you about the conditions in person", Kosuke finally said the result.

"Oh?" , Zhengliang was very surprised, he didn't expect that someone would surrender as soon as he arrived here, pondered for a while, and did not immediately express his position, but continued to ask, "Have they attacked my territory?" ”。 Masarashi looked down at Kosuke, who was kneeling on the ground, staring into his eyes and observing the change in his expression.

"Your Highness, no. Many of them were farmers who couldn't survive in the mountains, and they had feelings for the places where they had lived in the past, so they rarely attacked nearby towns. And since the nearby towns don't have much force to resist, and the rest of the bandits on the mountain fare to frequent, in order to reduce the distribution of the spoils of war, we, who are ostracized and often act as substitutes, have no chance to attack these towns, and Ikaishi Dairo and they will not be willing to give us a part of the property that is easy to get their hands on", Hearing Masara's question, Kosuke replied calmly in the face of Masara's eyes. Although I was a little scared in my heart, after contacting this lord for a while, Kosuke Chi said that this lord has a bottom line for any problem, and there is a chance to discuss things before crossing the bottom line. And attacking his territory is the bottom line of dealing with the problem of bandits, the last batch of captured bandits, all those who attacked the territory were executed. …,

"Well, okay, you can inform them and let them come over, I would like to hear what conditions they have", Masashi smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. In fact, Masahiro doesn't want to go toe-to-toe with the bandits, and once the bandits die and break the net, they will lose a lot. Now that there are eight or nine bandits who have surrendered, it would be the best, so that their side can form an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and even if they are hard-hitting, they can avoid too much damage.

Soon, under the leadership of Kosuke, a bald man with empty hands came to Masahiro.

"In Shimotaday, meet His Highness", Tadajiro is now shocked in his heart. In fact, today, this lord in front of him had already shocked him for the second time. First of all, I just learned from Kosuke that Oishi Noji with 17 fierce bandits was wiped out, you must know that this gang of bandits is a headache for the major heroes nearby, and the most shocking thing is that even Oishi Noji was killed by that lord, so plus the seriously injured Banshi Daro, this mysterious lord has directly defeated the leaders of the two bandits. Now this lord has led dozens of ashigaru killers to his doorstep, and he didn't even notice it, which is really incredible. So after Kosuke's persuasion and his analysis, he finally decided to surrender. When he saw this mysterious lord directly face to face, Tadajiro was shocked again, the mysterious lord who defeated two bandit leaders in a row looked like he was only 17 or 18 years old, was this a joke? Of course, if Masaliang knew what Tadajiro was thinking at the moment, he would definitely shout that he was wronged, but his brother is a 28-year-old promising young man, don't be deceived by this appearance of fine skin and tender meat.

"Oh? You're that Tadajiro? If you come here alone, aren't you afraid that I will backtrack and kill you? Masara smiled slightly, and then stared into Tadajiro's eyes and said.

"Ha Lu haha", Tadajiro didn't expect Masara to be so direct, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then Ha Lu laughed, "Your Highness, I know very well the temperament of this guy, this guy who is afraid of death will not regret it if you are not completely sure that you will not regret it, and he will not inform me that he came here." After hearing Tadajiro's words, Kosuke's face was immediately flushed, his teeth were gritted and "gurgling", if he wasn't afraid of being scolded by Masaara, he would have jumped up and pointed at Tadajiro and started scolding.

"Oh. It turns out that the advantages of my new Ashigaru group leader are well known," Masarashi smiled slightly, and then said. Zhengliang's sentence has two purposes, the first is to buy people's hearts, anyone who pokes at their shortcomings when others, suddenly finds that someone appreciates themselves are grateful, and after this period of observation, Zhengliang also recognizes the contribution of Xingzhu, the so-called rewards and punishments are clear, and it is also appropriate to reward a position that has not been taken for the time being; Secondly, indirectly told Tadajiro that Masato treats people who are sincere and sincere, and there is no need to worry about the problem of settling accounts after the autumn, and even if he performs outstandingly, he will be added to the rank of knight.

Sure enough, as soon as Kosuke heard Masayo's words, he immediately became grateful, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Masayo, kowtowed a few times with "bump, bump, bump", and stumbled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, villain, ah! No, His Majesty must be loyal to his duties and strive to contribute to the prosperity of the Luo family." Zhengliang waved his hand slightly, signaling that he would be spared. Kosuke hurriedly got up, and then glared at Tadajiro, as if provocative, look, I have changed from a bandit to a retainer.

"Ha Lu Haha, His Highness's methods really make Zai Xia admire", Tadajiro faced Yusuke's provocation Ha Lu laughed, not caring at all, and then suddenly changed his words, leaned back slightly to stare back at Masa, and said with a serious expression, "However, Your Highness, so close to an enemy, aren't you afraid of a sudden attack to control you?" ”…,

Onishi Kuniji, who was behind Masara, was furious when he heard this, and pulled out his katana and pointed it at Tadajiro and shouted angrily, "Bold." Seeing this, the surrounding ashigaru immediately approached with a spear. Masarashi smiled indifferently and raised his right hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, but his eyes kept looking at Tadajiro without blinking, and said calmly, "Then, you will soon experience the feeling of separation between your body and your head." Then, his whole body exerted a slight force, and a swordsman's coercion pointed directly at Tadajiro.

Tadajiro immediately felt that the air around him suddenly condensed, and he instantly felt a feeling of suffocation, and hurriedly refreshed himself to deal with it. In this way, Masarashi and Tadajiro looked at each other, one attacking, the other defending, and the atmosphere became deadlocked. It wasn't until almost a cup of tea later that Tadajiro was finally defeated, and by this time he was already drenched in sweat. Seeing this, Xingsuke next to him secretly laughed in his heart, who let you compete with this devil, Zhilu Dao is amazing.

"Your Highness, I finally believe that Isaishi Dairo and Oishino II were defeated by you", after Masarashi withdrew the coercion, Tadajiro took a deep breath and sighed with a wry smile.

Masara smiled slightly, noncommittal to this.

"So, Tadajiro, tell me your conditions?" , time is precious, and Masahiro is not going to beat around the bush.

"Ha Lu Ha Ha", seeing that Masara didn't care about his compliments at all, Tadajiro had to Ha Lu Ha Ha Da laugh to hide his embarrassment, and then said, "Your Highness is really refreshing enough, we have only one request, that is, to ensure that we and our families are not harassed." ”

"Yes," Masarashi readily agreed to Tadajiro's request, "In the meantime, please accept the position of head of the family's Ashigaru group." ”

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty will immediately gather the rest of the people and obey the command of Your Highness", Tadajiro Chi Michi Masara used his position to dispel the concerns of others, and at the same time, he had to admire the wisdom of the lord in front of him again. Of course, he was not completely convinced in his heart, he had already discussed with the others, and once the lord let his group do something as a substitute for the dead, they would immediately disperse and leave. But he didn't know that Masahiro didn't plan to let them all join the military team he had formed.
