For several days in a row, the Luo family's territory was in full swing to recruit soldiers.!

On this day, Onishi Kuniji, who was busy recruiting troops in Notaka Mountain, came to the council hall of Kishigaku Castle. This time, he had come to report to Zhengliang on the recruitment of troops in the past few days.

"How's it going?" Masarashi asked, sitting on the throne.

"Your Highness, because of His Highness's reputation and the family's great victory in this conflict with the Wave family, the recruitment effect is very good," Onishi Kuniji said happily, "At present, there are basically no wandering ronins in the territory, and the family's recruitment plan is about to be completed." ”

"Oh? So fast? "Masahiro didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"Yes, congratulations to Your Highness," Kuniji Onishi said.

"You came all the way from Nodaka-cho this time, do you have other important things?" Masarashi nodded and asked. As a result of such a recruitment, it is only necessary to send a scout to send the letter, and since the Western Guozhi came in person, it must be something important.

"Your Highness, this time I recruited some capable samurai, and after the deliberation of my subordinates and others, I decided to recommend it to Your Highness," Onishi Kuniji said, handing a book to Masahiro.

"Oh?" Masa-liang immediately became interested. A samurai who can be recommended by Kuniharu Onishi, Sasuke Roche and others at the same time must have good abilities. So Zhengliang immediately opened the book and read it.

After a long time, Masara closed the book again, and then asked Onishi Kuniji, "Have you found out the details of these people?" Can it be trusted? ”

"Your Highness, all of them have been investigated, and Your Majesty has already sent personnel to the birthplaces of these people to verify again, presumably there will be results within half a month," Onishi Kuniji replied.

"Well, tell me what you think," Masarashi said, nodding.

"Your Highness. The first record in the book is of a samurai named Kira Nobuyei, who was originally the son of the Shikoku Sajira family. After being persecuted, he fled to Karatsu, and originally planned to settle in Hakata, but he didn't want to stay in Karatsu Bay because of the dispute between his family and Hakata," said Kuniji Onishi.

"Shikotosaki Raya? Have you checked the details? Masari asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. According to the information obtained from the Kamiya family, the current Tosa family's power is stepping up to attack each family, and the Kira family is in the Niyodo River for the Motoyama Shigechen sneak attack, unfortunately passed away. After that, Motoyama Shigechen changed his name to Kira Shigeru, subdued the rest of the Kira family, and took the position of the head of the Kira family. It is reported that the son-in-law of the Kira family disappeared after this incident. It is rumored that he was killed by the Motoyama family. It is also rumored that he escaped while he was in chaos. ”

"So, this Kira Xuanjing is the concubine of the Kira family who escaped?" Masara asked.

It was he who escaped with his two wives this time. In addition, his subordinates also investigated his two wives, whose names were Xiao Natsu and Nana. It is in line with the names of the two wives of the Kira family's sister-in-law. ”

"Well, it seems to be a credible person," Masarashi sighed. In history, the power of the Motoyama family in Tosa during this period was indeed in full swing, and even the old son of the head of the clan of the Nagamune, who would unify the four countries in the future, had to rely on a family that was also powerful at this moment. But who knows that the family and the Benshan family, which are now called big and powerful, were wiped out one by one by this family of Changzong and my family, which now seems to be weak?

"Your Highness, in order to show your determination to join the family, Kira Nobuyi expressed his willingness to dedicate the family heirloom sword 'Sea Moon' to His Highness," said Kuniji Onishi.

"Hehe, I understand your intentions. It is true that my Sabre Jigang was strained in this battle. But now that it has been handed over to the armory craftsman workshop in Notaka Mountain for repair, it should be able to be restored to good condition, and it may even surpass the original one, so this 'sea moon' does not have to be contributed to the family," Masarashi said with a slight smile.

"This? Your Highness? Do you want to think again? This is also a manifestation of the retainer's loyalty to the head of the family," Onishi Kuniji said in a low voice.

"Hehe, a gentleman doesn't take people's love," Masara continued to say with a light smile, "Since His Excellency Kira Xuanjing has to carry this knife even if he flees. You can see what this knife means to him. Tell him that there is no need to sacrifice a knife, as long as he behaves well in the future, one day, I will take him to retake the neighboring land. ”

"Your Highness Gaoyi!" Onishi Kuniji said admiringly.

"Let's talk about the others," Masarashi continued.

"The second person in the book is named Ueda Shinji, who used to be an Iga ninja who was good at hiding in disguise, and later escaped from Iga in order to pursue a higher martial arts realm, while evading the pursuit of Iga ninjas, while learning martial arts, Akuta once sparred with him and confirmed that his martial arts were good."

"Iga's ninja?" Masarashi asked suspiciously. How did you come to Hizen from such a distant place?

"Yes, actually, there is disagreement between the ministers and several others as to whether or not to hire this person," said Kuniji Onishi.

"Is it because you're worried about offending Iga's ninja people?" Masara asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, it is rumored that Iga's ninjas are all people with outstanding abilities, and it is indeed unwise to make enemies with each other for no reason" Onishi Kuniji obviously belongs to the side that does not approve.

"Ha Lu Ha Ha" Zheng Liang laughed when he heard this, "It's okay, this person will stay." If even one ninja is afraid, then why talk about the prosperity of the Luo family's martial arts? ”

"This? Be! His Royal Highness" Seeing that the head of the family had made up his mind, Onishi nodded and compromised.

"The third person in the book is named Fei Duan, and he is a snitch. Good at flying toads walking on the wall," Kuniji Onishi said.

"Snitch?" Masara looked at Onishi Kuniji suspiciously.

"Yes, Your Highness," Kuniharu Onishi said with a strange face, "He was captured by a mysterious master during a night attack on a beautiful woman, and then was sent by the villagers to the Hakata samurai in charge of security to wait for disposal, but he happened to encounter a conflict between his family and the Hasaka family, and escaped by taking advantage of the chaos." ”

"He himself confessed this matter?" After listening to this, Zhengliang's doubts not only did not lessen, but even worsened.

"Ahem, Your Highness, that's exactly the case," Onishi Kuniji said with a smile in his eyes.

"What do you mean by attacking a woman at night? And who is the mysterious master? Masari asked.

It is said that it was following a beautiful woman at night that caused a misunderstanding with the other party. attracted the siege of the villagers, and when he fled, he encountered a mysterious master and was captured. ”

"Since you are good at flying toads, you have been subdued by walking on the wall. That master's martial arts must be extraordinary, do you have information about that mysterious master? Masari asked.

"It's a pity, Your Highness," Kuniji Onishi said, shaking his head.

"In that case, forget it. However, this flying samurai seems to be particularly attracted to beautiful women, so people can stay, but let's put them in the barracks for training first," Masarashi said with a frown. He didn't want his retainers to be deceived by women at a critical moment.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"There seem to be a few more people in the book just now, right?" Masarashi continued to ask.

"Yes, Your Highness. There are also two people, one of whom is named Uemura Hontsuna, a native of Kai Province, who once learned swordsmanship from the swordsman Ueizumi Hidetsuna there at Kamizumi Castle in the same country outside Ueno Dahu Castle in the Kanto region. After abandoning the sword and learning the gun. Quite martial arts," Onishi Kuniji hurriedly continued to reply.

"Hidetsuna Kamiizumi?" Masara was taken aback when he heard the name. Isn't this the famous sword saint Kamiizumi Shintsuna in the future? According to the current time, he is indeed the successor of the Yinliu Orthodox Aizhou Shifting Incense Jiuzhong, and he is already quite famous in the local area. Later, he became the first person in the "Nagano Sixteen Shots" and made a name for himself. After the demise of the Nagano family, he was transferred to the Takeda family. Later, in order to prepare for the practice of kendo, Takeda Shingen divided his own name, Shinshin and Hidetsuna, and returned Hidetsuna to Ueizumi Hidetsuna. From then on, Hidetsuna Kamiizumi changed his name to Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and began his legendary journey as a sword master.

"Your Highness, how famous is this person?" Seeing Masaliang's surprised expression, Onishi Kuniji asked suspiciously.

"Hmm" Masaro nodded, now that Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is not fully famous, there are indeed not many people who know him, "In that case." Then this person stays. ”

"The other man, named Tetsunosuke, is a samurai with two swords, who is extremely brave, and once in the conflict between the Niko family and the Mori family, he single-handedly beheaded five "After bowing down and receiving the order. Onishi Kuniji is the most rearly reported.

"Well, let's take all these people, arrange them all in the barracks for the time being, and then activate them after their loyalty is confirmed," Masato nodded and said.

"Yes, Your Highness, the ministers of the Half Moon can thoroughly find out their details," Onishi Guozhi commanded.

Then Masato discussed some details of the recruitment with Onishi Kuniji. Eventually, Kuniji Onishi set off to return to Notaka Town with Masayo's orders.

Not long after Onishi Kuniji left, the small surname Murakami Takeshi suddenly came to report, saying that he was outside the door and asked to see Shinnosuke Akabane.

"Shinnosuke Akabane?" Zhengliang wondered. Is this guy finally back?

In fact, on the second day of the retainers' meeting, Shinnosuke Akabane proposed to Masarashi to visit the small towns and counties on the Lion City side. According to the law of the Luo family, without the permission of the head of the family, no one is allowed to leave the territory of the Luo family without authorization. Moreover, Shinnosuke Akabane has only just joined the Luo family, and in fact, he has not yet been fully recognized by the other retainers, so he should stay by Masayo's side and work hard to perform in order to be recognized by others.

After seeing that Shinnosuke Akabane was obviously going to this time to have something important, Masara happily let him go in line with the principle of employing people without suspicion. I originally thought that Shinnosuke Akabane would not come back without a first and a half months, but in less than four days, he came back.

In the "Your Highness Your Highness" chamber, Shinnosuke Akabane respectfully bowed to Masayo as a retainer.

"Say it. Your sudden departure this time must be important. Now that I'm back all of a sudden, it seems that things have been taken care of," Masarashi said.

"Your Highness, before Your Majesty reports to you the harvest of this trip, please meet the guest brought by Your Majesty," Shinnosuke Akabane said mysteriously.

"Guests? Okay, let him in," Masarashi said confusedly.

Soon a young man walked in.

"Perform the kind and meet His Highness," the person who came saluted respectfully.

"Is that you?" Masarashi looked at the visitor and said in surprise......)
