Among the many traversers, the best mix on the Hirata family's side is the big brother Matsuzo who is the head of the 'high-ascension' Ashigaru group, followed by Kujiro and Iwata behind him, and the rest are either repairing toilets or striking iron in the workshop.

In the country of Reeds, this is not a job to ensure harvest in drought and flood, the environment is harsh, and there is little food, so you may hang up at some point.

There are even worse than this, those who farm with the peasants, those who follow the mining, and a large number of people who died early in the 'village fighting'.

The 'traversers' of the remaining forces are almost all at this level.

After two comings, there were more than 200 'traversers', and now there are probably less than 30 people still alive.

Bella guessed that they must still be connected to each other, but didn't ask in front of Goro Hirata.

The Hirata family is a branch of the Reeda family, and the head of the family is related to the Ashina family, but according to the Japanese tradition of valuing the family name rather than the blood relationship, he came out to inherit the Hirata family.

The Hirata family is located in the northwest of Ashina Province, on the north side is the Ryusen River where Bella and the others descended, and further north is the dense fog, no one knows what is behind the fog, and on the south side is the mountains that cannot be seen at a glance, and if you attack, you can only go from west to east.

It was in this way that the Hirata family became the first line of defense against the inner house crusade army.

The conspiracy of three years ago did not destroy this loyal family, and the young and strong people in the clan are still holding on to the family land, not retreating.

Along the way, I saw a lot of fortresses, the scale is not large, but the number is not large, if the enemy wants to break through to the Hirata house smoothly, these fortresses must be uprooted one by one, this workload is too great.

Shortly after entering the Hirata Mansion, Bella saw an acquaintance.

"Miss Yongzhen? You also work at the Hirata family? ”

To Kujiro and Iwata's surprise, something happened, they found out that the strange 'latecomer' actually knew the high-level of the Rei family!

As a physician who is the head of the country, Yongzhen is definitely a close confidant of the leader.

Doctors have no rights, but the importance is not much different from that of the head of the Hirata family.

"Are you...... Come and join us? Yongjin asked curiously.

Bella wanted to join the more powerful Inner House Raiders, but she learned the swordsmanship of Ashina and turned around to take refuge in the opposite side, which seemed a bit excessive.

"The resistance of the reeda country is just, and I am willing to contribute!" She said very seriously.

Yongzhen's smile is still gentle, but you can see a bit of joy in it.

She herself is limited by her oath, and she can't make a move many times, and she has always regretted that Bella's arrival is equivalent to giving Wei Ming's side an extra reinforcement, in this kind of village-level weapon war, one more swordsman master, that's too effective!

"Come, come with me to meet Lord Hirata, His Royal Highness Goro, please come with me too."

Yongzhen pulled Bella inside, and Goro Hirata followed two positions behind.

The rest of the survivors also wanted to follow in, but Kujiro and Iwata hurriedly stopped the group of fools who couldn't see the truth clearly.

"Bastard! Can the Lord's Mansion be broken into? ”

The two of them took their spears and forced back a few of the guys who were about to move.

"Why did you stop me? Didn't the woman just go in? ”

"I'm starving! Let me in! ”

"I'll give you a hundred dollars, let me go in and rest, I think this place is quite big......"

Knowing the various beings outside, Bella followed Yongzhen to change clothes first.

Female samurai are rarer in Japan than giant pandas, but Ashina is an exception.

The female samurai Ba of the Kami tribe has left a lot of legends here, as a physician of Ashina Isshin, Yongzhen saw Ba when he was a child, and he admired it at the time, and when he grew up, he cut a samurai suit according to the appearance of the other party.

She couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, and now the outfit was given to Bella.

Taking off his jeans and short shirt, putting on a plain black hakama made of silk with moire patterns, and finally putting on a horse hakama that is similar to a skirt, this hakama prepared by Eijin is not like a traditional samurai, but rather like a shrine maiden and a priest.

There is no such thing as a jacket that connects the shoulder jacket and hakama like a suspender, the jacket is the dress of the shogunate samurai, and the reeds are now a rebel, and the shogunate is an enemy, so they can't wear each other's clothes!

Foot bags and clogs are indispensable, and this must be worn, tie up your hair, and insert a knife and a wakicha around your waist, even if you complete the change.

At this time, the head of the Hirata family was performing a prayer ceremony for the fallen samurai and soldiers, and they, as outsiders, were waiting outside the family temple of the Hirata family.

The ancestors of this family may have been particularly Buddhist, and built the family temple to a great size, far exceeding the specifications of a normal Japanese samurai family temple.

Seeing a bunch of people chanting in a subdued voice, Bella and Yongzhen stood in the distance and chatted.

"Bella, do you know what kind of Buddha this is?" Yongzhen is worried that her words and deeds will violate the taboo of the head of the Hirata family for a while, and faith is no trivial matter, and once there is friction, it will be very troublesome at that time.

Bella craned her neck and glanced at the Big Buddha: "Well, I know, it's the Buddha Virujana, the Buddha of Tantra." ”

It's a bit faint to talk to her about biology and genes, but to talk about Buddha and Bodhisattva? She's a professional!

Yongzhen was surprised again, she found that this Nanban woman knew a lot, and it was completely different from the Nanban women she had seen before.

"You're also a samurai in your country, aren't you?"

How can this be explained? Bella didn't know where to start, so she could only mum a few times to show that you were right.

They chatted for a while, and finally got down to business.

"What do you want to get at the Hirata family?" Yongjin asked.

Bella held up a finger: "I want a certificate to pass through the territory of the country of Reed." ”

The current country of Reed is not the kind of empty country in the game, and you can't see a living person when you run 800 meters, there are three steps and one post in the territory, five steps and one sentry, and there is no pass certificate, which is too troublesome.

Yongzhen bowed his head slightly: "And then?" ”

"Then I'm going to recruit some people, of course, it's definitely for the Reed family and the Hirata family, but I don't have any money, I need some financial support from you."

"Of course this is okay, the country of Reeda is not rich, but there is still some money."

Bella held up a third finger: "I need to talk to the lord, I don't know if you know the details, outside...... Well, the outside is not the same as before, the battle is pointless now, the inner government has long ceased to exist, and the Edo shogunate returned the power to the emperor one hundred and sixty years ago...... So? ”

She said while observing Yongzhen's face, this thing is indeed absurd, for Ashina Province, there is nothing to do, as soon as her eyes are closed and opened, the shogunate like a mortal enemy will die?!
