Inamori's face is very bad now.

Because he was very dissatisfied with Hani Sogen's late behavior.

According to the original plan, Hani Sogen, the doctor in charge of the second research on man-eaters, should have arrived here the night before.

But for some reason, Hanjing's car was suddenly delayed along the way for nearly 2 days.

It's only now that it's been slow.

As a soldier, Inamori is naturally extremely sensitive to time.

I hate this kind of late behavior.

If this person was his subordinate, he would definitely punish this guy who didn't know what to do and dared to be late for so long in accordance with military law.

It's a pity - Hani Sogen, he is not Inamori's subordinate.

At the same time, because Hani Sogen is the general's royal doctor, after Hanjing came, not only could he not lose his temper, but he also had to greet him with a good voice and good treatment.

As soon as he thought of this, Inamori's face became extremely ugly due to aggrievedness.

The distant skyline suddenly kicked up dust.

Looking at the clump of dust, Inamori raised his eyebrows.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Hani's coming." Inamori turned around and said to his subordinates behind him, "Cheer up." ”

After that, Inamori took the lead in sorting out the armor on his body.

No outsiders need to say, Inamori knows that his expression must be stinky now.

So after straightening the armor on his body, he rubbed his face vigorously, rearranged the expression on his face, and tried to make his face as soft as possible.

As more and more sand and dust were raised, a group of drivers gradually floated from the horizon, revealing their full appearance.

There were two carriages in this team, and on the periphery of these two carriages, there were more than 20 cavalrymen to escort them.

The more than 20 cavalrymen were all dressed in fiery red armor, with flags on their backs, and military flags painted with "three-leaf sunflower patterns" were hunting in the wind behind them.

Judging from the riding movements of these more than 20 cavalrymen and the sophistication of the equipment on their bodies, it is not difficult to see that these more than 20 cavalrymen are all elite soldiers.

Looking at the more than 20 cavalrymen in fiery red armor, Inamori's brows furrowed involuntarily.

He could see at a glance the identity of the more than 20 cavalrymen: directly belonging to the shogun, their most elite cavalry unit of the Edo shogunate, the Red Reserve.

The Red Reserve was also one of the oldest troops in the Edo Shogunate.

Since Tokugawa Ieyasu learned from Takeda's military system and established the "Tokugawa Red Reserve", the "Tokugawa Red Reserve" has a history of more than 200 years.

To this day, the Akabei is still the most elite cavalry unit of the Edo Shogunate, under the direct command of the Shogun, and the total number of cavalry has remained at around 1,000.

Only skilled Samurai Hachimoto had the opportunity to join the Akabei, so the Akabi were small in size but impressive in battle, and they were the trump card of the Edo Shogunate.

The reason why Inamori's brows furrowed involuntarily after seeing these twenty or so red reserve cavalry was because this level of escort team seemed to be a little too grand......

Inamori knew that Hani Sogen was the imperial physician of the Shogun, and that he was one of the most skilled doctors in their Edo Shogunate, but Inamori felt that his status should not be noble enough to require so many red cavalry to escort him......

Moreover, there were two carriages in this car, which also made Inamori very puzzled.

Before Inamori could solve his puzzles, the team of drivers had already come to them.

After temporarily suppressing the doubts in his stomach, Inamori led the generals behind him and hurriedly greeted the car in front of him.

The door of one of the two carriages was opened, and a middle-aged man with a shaved head, who was neither fat nor thin, walked out of the carriage slowly.

Inamori had been with Hani Sogen several times before, so Inamori recognized this person as Hani at a glance.

"Hani-sama." Inamori put a smile on his face as politely as he could, and saluted Hani, "It's been a long time. ”

"Inamori-sama." After Inamori saluted him, Hani hurriedly returned the salute and put an apologetic smile on his face, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Inamori has never liked this kind of crepe occasion very much, and he only thinks about quickly taking Hani into the camp and ending this boring welcome mission.

"Hani-sama! Please! ”

After casually exchanging a few pleasantries with Hani, Inamori leaned to one side and then made a "please" gesture toward the barracks behind him.

And yet - Hani was unmoved.

After showing a wry smile at Inamori, Hani said softly:

"Lord Inamori, there are more people who have come to your place this time."

Just as Inamori was puzzled by Hani's words, several of the Red Reserve cavalry opened the door of another carriage behind the carriage in which Hani was riding.

Then, a middle-aged man walked out of the car slowly along the open door, and then showed a faint smile to Inamori:

"It's been a long time, Inamori-sama."

"Kamiyama-sama?!" Inamori exclaimed.

This middle-aged man is none other than the Kyoto Town Commissioner, who was temporarily dispatched by the shogunate to oversee the deployment of materials for the army on Butterfly Island.

While Inamori was still stunned as to why Kamiyama appeared here, another middle-aged man followed Kamiyama and stepped out of the carriage.

And the appearance of this middle-aged man made Inamori's pupils shrink sharply in shock.

Then, as if an instinctive reaction, Inamori immediately fell to one knee on the ground and shouted at the middle-aged man:

"Old, middle-aged adults!"

"Inamori." The middle-aged man smiled at Inamori, "We haven't seen each other for a while." ”

The middle-aged man who appeared in front of Inamori was none other than the current elder of their Edo shogunate, Matsudaira Chonobu.

Inamori, who fell to the ground on one knee, wondered why Matsudaira had come here, but also understood why the team was escorted by the Red Reserve.

Under one person and above 10,000 people, Lao Nakamatsu Taishi Dingxin was in this car, and it was normal to dispatch the most elite cavalry team to escort him, which was both reasonable and reasonable.

"Old, middle-aged adults!" Inamori said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Of course, I'm here to see the famous cannibal." Matsudaira said in a non-hurried tone, "I also wanted to come here on a temporary basis, so I didn't announce to anyone that I wanted to come to Kii. ”

"There were some details I had to ask Kamiyama about the reconstruction of Kyoto after the Great Fire of Tenmei, so I brought Kamiyama over and was able to discuss Kyoto with Kamiyama in the carriage while coming here."

"Alright, Inamori, let's talk about it for now, take me to see the legendary man-eater. That's why I came to Kii. ”

"Now?" Inamori wondered.

"That's right, now." Matsudaira Dingxin's words are categorical.
