"Your Highness, Your Majesty has fulfilled your trust and successfully completed this material exchange with the Tahara family," Kosuke said to Masarashi with a smug face in the council hall of the lord's mansion on Notaka Mountain.

"Really? What is the result of the exchange? Masato nodded and asked.

"Your Highness, according to your orders, this time a total of 400 stones of miscellaneous grains, more than 200 pieces of white paper, and more than a dozen farm tools were exchanged", seeing the look of anticipation on Masato's face, Kosuke was secretly proud in his heart, and said again.

"Well, that's good. But according to Shinzaburo's rumors, do you have more important news to report? Masarashi was satisfied with the outcome of Kosuke's exchange and continued to ask.

"Yes, Your Highness. His Majesty exchanged supplies with the Tahara family at Yamashita this time, and was personally received by Tahara Tadayoshi, the head of the Tahara family, and Tahara Tadayoshi officially proposed an alliance to "Banshi Dairo", and saw that Masarashi took the initiative to ask about the biggest gain in this mission, and Kosuke said with both excitement and a strange face.

"What? An alliance with Slate Darro? The surrounding retainers were taken aback. The Tahara family actually took the initiative to propose an alliance, and the object of the alliance is still the bandits? Before everyone could come to their senses, Kosuke continued, "Yes, in order to show the sincerity of this alliance, the Tahara family dedicated their family treasure to Itaishi Dairo as one of the conditions of this alliance. After saying that, Kosuke clapped his palms, and a footlight outside the door walked in with a long object wrapped in cloth in his hand. Ashishi walked briskly in front of Masahiro, knelt on his knees, and respectfully handed the object in his hand to Masayo.

"This is the Tahara family's family treasure? How do you look like a knife? Masarashi picked up the long object wrapped in cloth and slowly opened it. As the cloth was lifted, a sword was revealed, with a total length of about 66 centimeters and a blade length of 44 centimeters. Pulling out the blade, I saw that the blade was bronze all over, and the thin blade flashed with a little cold light, as if it was waiting to drink blood.

"Huh? This... This... This is? Before Kosuke could continue to introduce the origin of the knife, Tadajiro on the side suddenly stood up, walked quickly to Masara, carefully looked at the knife, and muttered to himself while looking at it.

"Ahem", Togo Heiji on the side saw this, and immediately frowned, coughing softly to remind. Tadajiro woke up suddenly, immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted, "Your Highness, please forgive your subordinates for their faux pas." ”

"Hehe, that's it", Masarashi smiled slightly, and then continued, "Tadajiro, do you know the origin of this sword?" ”

"Your Highness, if Your Majesty is not mistaken, this is a famous sword Yoshioka Ichimon made by Yoshibo, a swordsmith of the Ichimonji school in Bizen Province," Tadajiro replied as he stared at the Taidao sword in Masayo's hand with glowing eyes, "It is said that this Yoshioka Ichimonji has a total length of 66 centimeters and a blade length of 44 centimeters. Now that I look closely, it is indeed this famous knife that is correct. ”

Yoshioka Ichimon? To be honest, Masato has no impression of the so-called famous knife in this era, and the only thing he knows is the "demon knife" Muramasa. Looking at the sword in his hand, Masato even thought interestingly, if you compare it with the knives of later generations, I don't know if the one in the road will be sharper.

Seeing that Masara was a little unimpressed with this treasure in his opponent, Tadajiro felt that the lord was a bit tyrannical, so he continued, "This famous sword can be sold for about 350 pieces at present, as long as it is known that His Highness keeps this famous sword, I am afraid that it will attract the bidding and even the attention of many merchants." ”

"What? This knife is worth 350 guan? Masashi was surprised, such a knife can be exchanged for more than 30 ordinary knives, it seems that it is really famous. …,

"Yes, Your Highness", it was Kosuke who spoke. Seeing that Masarashi was surprised by the value of this knife, Kosuke was even happier in his heart, and said proudly, "This is the family treasure of the Hara Fujihei family, and later after the destruction of the Hara Fujihei family, it was obtained by the Tawara family, and it is said that the Yomiko family once asked for this famous knife for 400 yuan, but was politely rejected by the Tahara family." ”

"400 runs? Sure enough, it's a famous knife. Ha Lu Ha, but, with such a famous knife, isn't the Tahara family afraid that after Taro Itaishi receives it, he will not only keep the knife for himself, but also disagree with the proposal to form an alliance? Gently stroking the blade of Yoshioka Kazumoni, Masarashi said with a smile. On the matter of sending a knife to form an alliance, Masara felt that the Tahara family was a little out of mind.

"No, Your Highness. Sbanshi Dairo also once asked the Tawara family to buy this Yoshioka Ichimonji, if he received this famous sword, according to the style of Sbanshi Dalang, he would gladly agree to form an alliance. The Tahara family decided that this would be the result, so they sent Yoshioka Ichimoni to the mountain first," Kosuke said.

"Huh? It's a bit of an anomaly. Do the Tahara family have any other requirements for an alliance? ”。 There is no love for no reason, so Masara is completely sure that this time the Tahara family has something to ask for, and it is a very urgent need, otherwise he will not take the risk of giving the family treasure to others.

"Your Highness is wise," Kosuke said without forgetting to pat his ass, "Your Majesty has learned that the Haoqiang Fujiwara family and the Kogi family near the Tahara family have officially formed an alliance and are preparing to send troops to the Tahara family. Therefore, as one of the parties to the alliance, the Tahara family asked the Tawara family to constantly harass the two territories and destroy the alliance between the two families, and when the Tahara family was attacked, they needed to send troops to help repel the invading enemy, and join forces with the Tahara family to destroy the two. And as one of the most difficult conditions for the alliance with Banshi Dairo, after the destruction of the Fujiwara family and the Kogi family, half of the property of the two families will be given to Banshi Dairo. ”

"The Fujiwara family and the Kogi family formed an alliance to send troops to the Tawara family? God help the Luo family! Zhengliang was overjoyed when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked, "Do you have more detailed information about the situation of these three families?" ”

"Your Highness, these are what Your Majesty knows," Kosuke said, "but Your Highness has brought a peasant from Yamashita this time who is familiar with the situation there, and Your Highness can ask him directly." ”

"Huh?" , Masashi looked directly at Kosuke.

Facing Masahiro's direct gaze, Kosuke's pressure increased sharply, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, that person's name is Yinuo, he is a peasant who was rescued by the minister from Banshi Dalang the next year, and under the persuasion of the minister, he has decided to follow His Highness." ”

"Okay, you let him in", Masarashi is not worried about the authenticity of what Yusuke said. Although this guy is a little afraid of death and loves to play smart, he is still impeccable in Zhongcheng.

Soon, a hungry peasant who was only about 21 years old walked quickly to Zhengliang and knelt down and saluted, "Villain, Che Mu Cheng Yinuo, meet your lord." ”

"Oh? Yinuo, are you a villager of Xiaomu's family? In the past ten days, in addition to arranging territorial affairs, Masahiro has also stepped up his understanding of the situation near the territory through his retainers, and as far as he knows, Chemu City is the residence of Xiaomu's family.

"Yes, my lord", Ichino's body trembled slightly, as another lord, Ashigaru appeared here, it was easy to cause suspicion, "The villain used to be the next Ashigaru of the Kogi family, and was sent by Kogi Daizo to infiltrate the Tahara family's territory to investigate the situation. ”

"Your Highness, Your Majesty met Yinuo after exchanging supplies with the Tahara family. In fact, he had notified his subordinates in advance several times, so that his subordinates could escape smoothly in the pursuit of Xiaomu's family. Seeing that Ichino was panicked, Kosuke immediately said.

Yinuo was fortunate to persuade him to come to serve Zhengliang, which played a great role in strengthening his weight among the retainers of Zhengliang, and fortunately Suke spared no effort to encourage Yinuo. And Yinuo was also very surprised after knowing the news that the thief Banshi Dalang who had been attacking them had been killed, and the most Lu was persuaded by Kosuke, and decided to give up his life, hoping to get a good background from the lord that Kosuke said, after all, now as a small ashigaru who guards the city gate of the Komu family, Yulu can't even support himself, but there are still wives and children at home to be fed.
