While sipping green sake, while carefully probing the topics of the ronin around him, soon a morning was about to pass, and under the repeated advice of Yinuo, Masarashi gave up the plan to settle lunch in the sake house (mainly worried that someone would poison the food, and the food in the wine house was not very good, usually just a few turnips, a few bowls of gruel or multigrain rice), and began to set off to rush back to the residence of Seifukuji.

When the group came to a street, they found that they were blocked by a large group of people in front of them, and they could not move forward for a while. "Go and see what's going on," Masato commanded. Behind him, a cloaked man dressed as a samurai immediately took the order.

After a while, the cloaked people who had gone to inquire about the situation returned, "Your Highness, there is a young man begging with his sick mother and young sister in front of me. ”

"Begging?" , Masato felt very strange after hearing it. In fact, along the way, Masara saw a lot of beggars who eventually became beggars because they lost their fields or their families were unable to sustain. So why is such a commonplace thing now attracting so many onlookers?

The boy was going to sell himself into slavery so that he could heal his mother and keep his sister from starving. But the young man's appearance is really not very good, but someone has taken a fancy to his sister, and now a buyer is ready to force the purchase, but the young man does not agree, so the two sides fight", the cloak continued to report.

"Huh?" , Masato began to find this thing interesting. In this era, the rich and powerful are all good at masculinity, and even use men's style as a fashion. It seems that the buyer was planning to buy the boy back for this special hobby, but after seeing the boy's appearance and the boy's sister, he changed his mind and tried to rob the boy's sister.

Thinking of this, Masahiro waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look." After finishing speaking, he took the lead and walked forward, and the people behind him immediately dispersed, faintly guarding Zhengliang in the center.

Soon, Masara and the others came to the periphery of the crowd, and since he was taller than most people in his current era, Masara could easily see the situation on the other side of the crowd.

I saw a young man who looked a little thin and was fighting with several men. On the ground beside the street, a middle-aged woman was lying on her back on a pile of thatch, looking very sick, while beside the middle-aged woman was a little girl curled up in a ball and shivering.

"Hey, boy, are you looking for death? Go on, give it to me, kill him", a short man in his 30s pulled out a knife not far away, and shouted at several guys who looked like people behind him.

"I don't sell my sister, if you rob my sister, I'll fight with you," the boy shouted as he fended off the attacks of several men.

"Hehe, giving you 50 Wen is already cheaper for you, and now you don't want to sell it? Listen, put some force in your hands, and kill him quickly," said the dwarf arrogantly. The status of the samurai is much more respected than that of the commoners, and no one cares about killing a few civilians at will.

"Yorokuro, we're here to help you. Kill! Just as the few family members behind the dwarf were about to join in the camp of beating the boy, five or six little beggars in ragged clothes came out of the crowd, holding sticks and joining the boy's formation.

"Wild children from there. Leave them alone, just kill those who get in your way," the dwarf commanded. When the family behind him heard this, he immediately prepared to behave well in front of his employer.

"Let's do it, teach them a lesson", at this time, Masahiro had already come to the front of the crowd of onlookers under the escort of several cloaked people.

Originally, Masarashi was at the back of the crowd, but when several people with katana cloaks escorted Masara, the crowd in front of him automatically moved out of the way, and Masarashi easily passed through the crowd. When he saw that several children were at a disadvantage, he was urged by the morality of later generations, and made the decision to drive away the wicked. …,

After receiving the order, several cloaked people immediately drew their katana swords and ran towards the dwarf with great vigour. Seeing this, the man who was beating up the children immediately retreated to the dwarf.

"Who are you? Aren't you afraid of offending the Harada family? ", the dwarf saw that a Cheng biting gold was suddenly killed, and immediately accused him violently.

Harada's family? It can't be the Harada family, a wealthy family in the western part of Chikuzen, right? The ancestors of this wealthy clan were descendants of Daizo Harumi, who made great contributions during the suppression of the Fujiwara Juntomo Rebellion, and now they control the area near the mountains in the west, and control the Takazu Mountain Castle, which is an important passage from Chikuzen Province to Higo. didn't expect to offend a big wealthy family by meddleling in things, and Zhengliang was suddenly a little depressed. After taking a closer look at the dwarf, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, in my memory, the current head of the Harada family should be Harada Juni, and his age should be in his 20s, at least the dwarf in front of him looks at least in his 30s, and it is definitely not Harada Junda himself.

"Hmph, I'm scared. To tell you the truth, Harada Grand, the lord of Gaozu Mountain City, is the nephew of the uncle, and he has to leave quickly, and the uncle has to hurry up to take the little beauty back to enjoy it? The dwarf was stunned when he saw Masa, thinking that Masato was scared, and continued to say arrogantly.

"The wild man from there is actually pretending to be someone from the famous Harada family? and openly robbed people's daughters? It's really a deliberate attempt to smear the reputation of the Harada family, come on, give me a hard beating", Masashi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and immediately shouted in response. are all in their 30s, and they are still ready to spoil a little Lori who is about 10 years old? It's not okay to teach you a good lesson.

"Good, good! You wait, I'll be back. And you, what do you see, I'll settle accounts with you when I come back", the hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, the dwarf saw that everyone on the other side was armed with weapons, and they were all strong, so he turned around and left, and didn't forget to point to the surrounding crowd to be arrogant once before leaving. The surrounding crowd immediately dispersed.

"Thank you for saving your life", after waiting for the dwarf group to go away, the young man dragged his sister and a few little beggars to kowtow to Masayo.

"What's your name?" , Zhengliang looked at the young man in front of him with interest and asked. Resisting the attacks of several adults on his own, although it is a bit disgraceful, but Wu Yong is indeed worthy of praise.

"The villain Iyo Kuni Kana Yamashiro Fujiwara clan's son Kana Tongyu and Rokuro Tong", hearing Masarashi ask about his origin, the boy immediately replied with a chest in his chest.

Suddenly? The boy's reply reminded Masara of a person, who was also named Kunatong, and his father was also called Kunatong. But they should all be retainers of the Kono family in Iyo Province now, and Kana Tong will be the general of the Kono family's navy in the future, and together with Kurishima Tsuyasu and Murakami Takeyoshi, they have fought against the Otomo family and the Oda family's navy. Is this Kunatong in front of him a retainer of the Kono family at all? Thinking of this, Masara decided to confirm, "Is it the Kono family's Kana clan?" ”

When the young man heard the Kono family, he was immediately stunned, and then leaned over and said, "The villain is the former retainer of the Kono family. Now I'm on the run. ”

"Huh?" , Zhengliang was taken aback, how could it be so different from the historical record, according to the records, the current Kunatong should be less than 16 years old, and has become the new governor of the Kuna family.

"My lord, here's the thing", seeing that Masara obviously knew the situation of the Kono family, Kanatong, who was originally going to say nothing about his origin, decided to confess frankly and tell his story in detail.

It turned out that Kunatong, who was the eldest son of the Kuna family, was indeed preparing to succeed to the position of family governor after his father's death, but he did not expect that his second half-brother secretly rebelled with the retainers of the family and forcibly seized the family governor. Of course, his second brother did not kill them all, and after becoming the head of the family, he only ordered Kana to move out of Iyo Province, otherwise there would be no forgiveness for killing. The resentful Kana decided to go to the main family, Kono's house, to complain, but he was closed to the house, and he had to take his mother and sister to cross the ocean in the only small morning that his second brother gave alms, and came to Hakata. Unfortunately, as soon as she arrived in Hakata, her mother contracted a cold and became ill. After spending all the valuable things on his body, Kunatong's mother still did not get better, and his sister fainted several times because she had nothing to eat for a long time, and in desperation, Kunatong decided to sell herself into slavery to treat her sick mother and starving sister, so there is today's scene. Now that he heard Masarashi mention the Kono family, he couldn't help but get angry again. It's no wonder that Kana Tong is so angry, according to historical records, Kana Tong is loyal to the Kono family, even if the Kono family rebelled again after surrendering to the Nagazong family and was besieged in the future, Ku Natong did not surrender to the Changzong family until he died in battle, but now he was usurped by his own master family and his younger brother to usurp the position of the head of the family, you can imagine the anger in Ku Natong's heart. …,

Zhengliang didn't expect to be nosy, although he offended a strong man, but he also met a future naval general, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Are you willing to be my little surname?" ”

"My lord," he looked at his mother and sister behind him, and then at the few little beggars who risked death to come to help, and he hesitated for a while. He wanted to ask Zhengliang to accept these people at the same time, but he was afraid of causing Zhengliang's dissatisfaction and thought that he was too greedy, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

After seeing Kunatong's expression, Masahiro smiled slightly, he is really a loving and righteous person, he wants to save his relatives, but he can't bear to abandon his partner who shares his weal and woe, and after becoming a retainer, at least he doesn't have to worry too much about rebellion. It's not that Zhengliang is worried about the sky, some of the policies that Zhengliang will implement in the future will greatly damage some interests that are already powerful, so Zhengliang urgently needs to cultivate retainers who accept his ideas and are loyal to him.

"Hehe, this way, I will accept you as my little surname, I will cure your mother's illness, and your sister will directly become a maid in my house, as for these partners of yours", Masara looked at the little beggars behind him, a total of 8 people, 5 are boys around 11 or 12 years old, and 3 are little girls around 7 or 8 years old, "The boy will become my attendant, and the girl will also become the maid in my mansion." "Anyway, several women in the lord's mansion are about to be promoted to madame, and these little girls happen to be the subordinates of the mansion, and those little boys will be trained as the relative warriors of the Luo family. Masa-ra has now saved their lives in danger, and these little ones must have been deeply grateful in their hearts.

"Lord Xie Lu, Lord Xie Lu", several little boys who had already experienced the warmth and coldness of the world immediately took the lead and thanked loudly.

Looking at the children who kept kowtowing in front of him, Zhengliang couldn't help but sigh, "Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering, and the rise and fall of the world have been made of soil." ”
