Autumn arrives, and the land is filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's so nice to have a life like today, so happy that I have to wake up with a smile every day when I dream......
Pigko tied the last bundle of rice with a smile on his face: "Thank you so much, Lord Lord......"
"Pigs!"
At this time, a farmer next to him walked by, also full of smiles: "Your Haruko is about to give birth, right?" Congratulations! ”
"yes...... I'm going to be a father...... It feels like in a dream! ”
The pig muttered: "No, this kind of life, I didn't even dare to dream of it before!" ”
"Thanks to my lord!"
The farmer smiled and said, "With such an adult, we really want to pray for him, and when the new temple is finished, let's go!" ”
Speaking of this, the eyes of the two couldn't help but look at the small hillside on the side and the small temple on it.
A few months ago, it was empty, but I heard that the adults had spent a lot of money to mobilize the ashigaru during the slack time, and they also invited craftsmen from the castle, and everyone worked together to finally complete the project.
"You don't have to think about this...... a hint of disappointment appeared on the pig's face: "I heard...... This temple seems to be intended as a family temple for the oni family, and it is not allowed to be visited by outsiders......"
"Family temple? Which mage are you going to invite to preside? ”
"In short, with the prestige of an adult, and wealth, he must be a famous master......
Pig guessed and walked home side by side with the farmer.
It's just that they don't know that the temple has not only been completed a long time ago, but even Wu Ming has already made a plan in his heart for the selection of monks.
"Takeshi Onimaru, how are you living here?"
Wu Ming walked around the temple casually, and at this time the paint was still very new, but it could also live in people.
"Eat is full! Sleep in peace! ”
Takeshi Onimaru was like a little adult, answering one by one, and Amakusa Shiro, who was following behind, buried his head deep on the floor, not daring to look up.
"Oh? Are you satisfied with this little surname? If you're not satisfied, I'll get you another one right away! ”
"No need, good!"
Speaking of this, a trace of fluctuation finally appeared in Onimaru's eyes.
"If you like, you can do it!"
Wu Ming smiled, knowing that Amakusa Shiro had been completely subdued by Onimaru Meng, after all, this might have been a talent that should have been attributed to him in the first place.
"One more thing, the presiding officer of this temple, I have already chosen a candidate, and it will come soon!"
Wu Ming coughed: "His name is Mountain Monk Zhengfang, he is a knowledgeable and talented master, you must respect him as much as you respect me, understand?" ”
"Hey!"
This solemnity suddenly made Onimaru Takeshi and Amakusa Shiro both nod their heads.
"So I'm relieved......"
Wu Ming, who walked out of the temple, smiled indifferently, this so-called 'Mountain Monk Zhengfang' is naturally a fake, or rather, the second identity he prepared for himself, that is, the vest.
And it is not difficult to use the Dao method to be a shadow warrior who looks exactly the same, or even has the temperament of a strong man.
In this way, the 'ghost eye' in this Tomita Maru can be used for fishing.
After all, Wu Ming felt that what he had done was not shocking, but he was still close to being famous in a country, which was easy to arouse vigilance.
"When the time comes...... If the authority hears and suspects, he can't help but come and test it, right? ”
The corners of Wu Ming's mouth flashed with a smile, this bright and dark identity, and it can also be converted to each other, is the back hand he prepared for himself.
"The search for a stand-in samurai must be on the agenda...... Although as long as it is an individual, it is still necessary to consider the issue of temperament, and it is best to use the strong as the material, then you can hide it from most people......"
"My lord! My lord! ”
As soon as he returned to Tomitamaru, Shigeruke greeted him excitedly: "I have something important to say!" ”
"Well, is it about autumn grain? Let's talk about it! ”
Wu Ming stood in the garden, looking at the cherry blossom trees where Chunhua was absent and the pond on the side, and naturally there was a mysterious artistic conception emanating from it.
"Ah...... That is true! ”
Maosuke was almost intoxicated by this kind of mystery, wiped his eyes, and secretly blamed himself for how he could be so rude, and then said, "My lord...... In this harvest, we Tomita Maru obtained a total of 1,200 koku of rice, because there are already 60 households in the hukou, according to the law of the family, among the 600 koku, 300 koku will be directly taxed, and the 200 koku of the two samurai lords will be removed, and the rest will be directly led by the family, a total of 700 koku! ”
"Well, the increase in the number of acres of land by 20%, and the increase in the number of households by 20 are all your credit, so you will be rewarded with fifty yuan!"
This person has talent, Wu Ming naturally knows this, and since he has made achievements, he will not hesitate to reward him.
And he said, "You don't have a surname, how about giving you a standing flower?" From today onwards, you are Shigesuke Tachibana! But you haven't done much yet, you can't give you knowledge and action, you know, right? ”
"The Lord has treated me well!"
The corners of Tachibana Shigesuke's eyes were red, thinking that half a year ago, he was still a low-level miscellaneous servant in Numata City, and he was not even qualified to have a salary, and compared to now, it was really heaven and earth.
At this time, he was rewarded, and he should be very excited, but I don't know why, Tachibana Shigesuke saw Wu Ming's back, and blurted out: "Does the lord want to enjoy the cherry blossoms?" It's not spring yet, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until next year......"
"No, I'm just cherry blossom watching......"
Wu Ming just sighed.
"Cherry blossom viewing?"
Shigersuke Tachibana looked at the bare branches, a little puzzled.
"The samurai all regard the falling cherry blossoms as beautiful, but this autumn and winter branch is quaint and clumsy, but it is even more beautiful......"
Wu Ming looked at the location of the city gate with feeling, and sighed: "Tell me to go down, if you meet someone looking for me today, take him directly to the dojo!" ”
"Hey!"
Shigesuke Tachibana respectfully agreed, but a layer of hair stood on his back.
From the words of the lord, he heard the infinite killing opportunity!
……
At this time, a middle-aged ronin also walked step by step under the Tomita Maru.
He was in tattered clothes, barefoot, he didn't seem to be afraid of the sharp stones on the ground, his hair was slightly gray, his face was full of vicissitudes, only a pair of eyes, but they were warm as jade, and the bottom was implied to be sharp, and the only thing worth noting on his body was the katana hanging from his waist, but the scabbard was worn out, and it didn't look like a valuable thing.
"Ghost family governor! Ghost eyes! ”
He chewed the name silently, looked at the hot ridges on both sides, and lowered his head slightly, so that people didn't know what was going on in his heart.
"The ghost family received 300 stone from Tomita Maru, but in fact there were 1,000 stones, and there were 300 stone from the small island family in the outside world, and Ashigaru who could mobilize 100 people at the limit, and the seven samurai who were like ghosts and gods, and in the entire Iiishi County, it was also a great wealthy family......"
Thinking silently about the information, the old ronin came to the Tomita Maru door.
"Stop! Where are you from and what are you called? ”
Ashigaru, who was guarding the door, was vigilant and pressed the katana at his waist.
"I'm I'm I'm going to challenge the ghost family governor, and I'm going to have a magic eye!"
The old man raised his head, and the light in his eyes became sharper and sharper.
"What did you say?"
The ashigaru's face changed drastically, and he was about to draw his katana, but in the next moment, he saw the old man's eyes and the huge momentum like a mountain.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he took a few steps back, the battle intent in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he couldn't pull out the knife.
"What's going on?"
Kenichi Matsushita, who heard the news, hurriedly came, and when he saw this scene, he was first furious, and then he looked at Isamu Hijikata Fuji with a ghost-like gaze.
"It's ...... Witnessed! Go down, it's not for you to meddle in! ”
Immediately, Kenichi Matsushita's face became solemn, and he slowly pulled out his katana.
After becoming a samurai, even though he was immersed in killing, he had read a few books, and knew that the clever one among the swordsmen had a kind of cultivation called 'witnessing', which means that with sharp eyes and momentum, he can psychologically hit the opponent, so as to achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.
"But this little bit of star...... It can only make my blood boil even more, and I want to kill you! ”
Kenichi Matsushita held the sword in both hands and licked his lips.
"It's ...... Heart of Shura......"
Feeling the other party's fighting intent, Hijikata Fuji Yong's face was also solemn, and his right hand slowly put on the hilt of the sword.
"Kendai Matsushita! Wait! ”
At this moment, Shigesuke Tachibana came running out of breath: "Lord Lord has a life, let this person go to the dojo to meet him!" ”
"Ahh......hh
Kenichi Matsushita roared, the blood vessels on his face were bursting up, as hideous as a beast, and he wanted to choose someone to devour.
"This is the order of the Ghost Family Governor, His Royal Highness the Ghost One Law Eye!"
Shigersuke Tachibana gritted his teeth, but he looked at each other without fear.
"The Lord's orders, I will naturally obey!"
After a long time, Kenichi Matsushita exhaled two white gases from his nose, screamed violently, and cut the wooden stake next to him into two pieces, only then did he regain his composure, and said to Isamu Hijikata: "It's rude, please come with me!" ”
'O man who can subdue all this evil spirit, and be afraid when he hears his name......
Thinking silently, Hijikata Fuji let go of the hilt of his sword and followed behind Shigesuke Tachibana.
The two of them passed through the many houses and came to the dojo.
This is the original reconstruction of the house of the drunken boy, the scope is extremely wide, at this time there are already twenty swordsmen kneeling on both sides, and the two rows of eyes are looking at each other, making Hijikata Fuji Yong feel as if he has come to the Shura field.
"There are six Shura, who are the same as the samurai before, and the rest are all demons......
With his keen perception, Hijikata Fuji knew very well that even if he was sure to kill a Shura, if the other party swarmed him, he would definitely die.
But by this time, he had abandoned his fear of death and looked at the man in the center of the dojo. (To be continued.) )
