Chapter 441: Hire a Ninja

At noon, after a spring rain, the sun came out again. The faint sunlight shone obliquely on the mountains, and the trees were punctuated by the chirping of birds and the sound of flapping their wings and flying by.

There is tranquility in the middle of the mountains and forests. After a while, the sound of neat marching sounded on the mountain road.

This group of men and horses is the 300 samurai team responsible for protecting the safety of Masahiro and the 100-man cloaked people. It is worth mentioning that at present, the warrior team of the Luo family has been expanded to 400 people. Now there are still a hundred people in the prison city of Higo Koyo's family. The 100 samurai who were newly added to Masahiro's entourage were selected from the rest of the Luo family's team after a month of selection. Each one is the elite of their own team.

It is different from the image of the Luo family wearing a hat on his head, wearing a royal loan and wearing straw sandals. The equipment of these two teams of Masayo, which can almost be called the Guards Legion, is a helmet similar to that worn by the generals of the Ming Kingdom. Of course, these helmets were made from a mixture of leather armor and iron sheets. It's not as good as the armor made entirely of iron, but it's much better than a regular array.

In addition, the armor worn by the cloaks and samurai was also made in the same style as the armor worn by the generals of the Illuminated Kingdom, but it was also mainly made of a mixture of bamboo, leather armor, and iron sheets. After all, the Luo family's family background is limited, and it is quite good to be able to reach such a level.

These are all armors developed by Ming craftsmen after they came, combined with the actual local situation. The soldiers generally called this set of armor Roche armor.

Except for this set of armor, everyone wore cloth shoes that were also made in imitation of the style of the lighting country. These cloth shoes were made in a textile mill owned by several of Masashi's wives. In fact, in the relatively developed territory of the Luo family. It's all already up for sale. Such luxurious equipment. It's just ready to make other heroes blush and die.

And the cloak is draped over the body. Now it has also been processed. The eagle, which was originally painted by hand on the mantle, has now been embroidered by hand by a textile mill.

It is worth mentioning that this textile workshop should be the first preliminarily industrialized workshop of the Luo family. The workshop was established at the foot of Nokoyama, the birthplace of the Luo family in Matsuura-gun, Hizen, and many local women were hired to weave by hand. And many of these women were immigrants from the Ming Kingdom. According to the ladies of Zhengliang, they are ready to follow Taijiuling's suggestion to introduce the weaving machine technology of the Ming Kingdom. Increase the scale of textile mills. For their ideas, Zhengliang is naturally happy to see them come true.

At this time, Masahiro was sitting high on the back of a hundred miles of black horse, wearing the iconic red silk carcass pill armor, and on his head was wearing a helmet with a small golden sword on his head from the West that was given by Zhu Qinfeng. It looks quite mighty.

Now that it has entered the spring ploughing period, along the way, Masashi sees some paddy fields or dry fields scattered among the mountains and forests from time to time, and the people are busy everywhere on the fields. Not far from the fields, you can also see a number of cottages. The scenery along the way is quite beautiful.

"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid! A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. ”

So beautiful. Let Masayo, who was riding on a horse, involuntarily chant a poem.

"Woo woo woo ......" Just as Zhengliang's poem ended, a slender flute suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests. It seems that the poems of Zhengliang were born at the right time.

"Hahaha, since you're here, you might as well come out and meet you." After listening for a while, Masato suddenly laughed loudly.

Although Chinese musical instruments began to be introduced to the Wa Kingdom at a very early age, they were still far from being popularized. In such a mountainous area, it is definitely not a coincidence that after Masara casually recites a poem, someone immediately whistles. So after thinking about it for a while, I realized that the other party was here for himself.

What made Zhengliang even more vigilant was that the other party actually avoided the black eagle who was in charge of guarding nearby, and he was obviously also an extraordinary person.

Not long after Masayo's invitation was issued, a figure quickly appeared among the mountains and forests. I saw people jumping quickly between the mountains and rocks, and after a while, they came to the front of the Zhengliang team.

Not long after the comer walked out of the forest, several figures followed, and judging from the direction where they stood, all the way of the incoming people was secretly blocked. These people were none other than the Black Hawk who was in charge of guarding the neighborhood of the Roche family.

The visitors apparently also noticed Black Hawk's actions, but were indifferent to them.

At this time, Masarashi had jumped from his horse to the ground at the behest of Fei Duan and Ahri. Through the Luo clan who tightly guarded Zhengliang, Zhengliang carefully looked at the people.

In Masaliang's opinion, the visitor was dressed very strangely, and he was seen wearing a deep woven hat that covered his entire head, a blue cotton suit, and grass shoes, but he wore a robe on his chest, a convenient bag, and a shakuhachi in his hand.

When he saw the shakuhachi in the hand of the visitor, Masara couldn't help but feel ashamed, it turned out that the visitor who suddenly appeared should have played the shakuhachi in his hand. He thought that the other party was using a long flute.

"Who's coming?" For this sudden visit, the warriors of the Luo family and the cloaked people were vigilant, and one of the leading warriors who was in charge of leading the way in front immediately asked.

"After the fat, the name and Wu Duo!"

After the visitor reported to his home, Fei Duan and Ahri, who were standing next to Zhengliang, obviously glanced at each other.

"What's going on? Do you know that man? Zhengliang immediately asked.

"My lord, if your subordinates expect it to be good, this person is the leader of the Higo Pass Ninja Clan." A flying dan who has been touring Kyushu for a while is reported on the horse.

"Oh?" Hearing that the other party turned out to be the leader of the Shigo's Sekipo ninja people, Masarashi couldn't help but be a little surprised. The last time he was in Chikugo, Masara's team was ambushed by the Otomo family, and the Sekipo Ninja were one of the main participants.

Later, in order to buy off the Guanpo ninjas, Masara ordered the release of several ninjas who voluntarily surrendered after the most reluctance, and Han Cang Zongdi took the lead to express his desire to hire them to the Guanpo ninjas. I didn't expect the other party to come to the door so quickly. It was the leader of the other party who came. Thinking of this, Zhengliang couldn't help but say loudly:

"Your Excellency is so bold that you came alone."

"Didn't Mamoru Hizen plan to hire us? Since this time it is to negotiate, it is natural to be single under it. Ming and Wu Duo responded in a deep voice.

Single? That's just a nice way to put it. Coming to Hizen alone with such a big effort, and then taking the trouble to appear in this way, is just to give Masato a dismount, as a revenge for the last time several Guanpo ninjas were killed by the Luo family. In addition, it also means to show one's own strength in order to increase one's worth. For such a little trick, Masahiro saw through it from the beginning.

"So, you're willing to accept your family's employment?"

"It's an honor for us to be able to serve the Hizen Eagle that sonic booms in Kyushu and even in the western country." (To be continued......)
