The floor of the main hall of the Daimyo's Mansion is made of square planks, and the patrolling samurai use their weapons to pry open the plank that made the sound......

After confirming that the one inside was a real person, the patrol samurai hurriedly brought up the daimyo who was exactly the same as the one in the guise of the flower mosquito.

It's just that he couldn't stand steadily, so he could only rely on the support of the patrol samurai, and the first thing he said was: "Water, give me water, and food for me to eat, I'm so hungry......"

The samurai brought food and water, and after the daimyo ate his stomach, his mental state recovered a little.

When asked how he was under the floor, the daimyo sighed and said that he was very interested in juggling not long ago, and was looking for people who could juggle to come to the daimyo's mansion to perform, but he would get tired of watching too much juggling, and he wanted to see more interesting and magical juggling, and even offered food and money to reward the master to perform.

Not long after, three men who claimed to be masters of juggling came, and after seeing them perform a few songs, the daimyo was very happy, and ate and drank well for the three of them to stay in the daimyo's mansion, and invited them to dinner from time to time.

One night, the daimyo couldn't contain his curiosity and wanted to secretly go to the backyard to see how the three jugglers had become jugglers and why they were so magical. When he got to the backyard and approached the room, he heard someone talking inside, it was the three jugglers, and the daimyo poked through the window paper with saliva and peeked inside, and was immediately surprised.

There are still three jugglers in the room, and they are clearly three terrible monsters.

One of them looked like a giant mosquito, a blue-faced fanged ghost, and the other, although human-like, had his head in his hand and not around his neck.

The giant mosquito urn said angrily: "We already know everything about this Daimyo's mansion, we can't waste any more time waiting, take advantage of the full moon tonight, our demonic power is high, hurry up and poison and kill the Daimyo and his three strongest warriors to prevent future troubles, and it is also convenient for us to take over this country...... I've dealt with those who patrol. ”

The other two monsters agreed, getting up to come out.

The daimyo panicked, only to realize that some of the samurai who were supposed to be patrolling the daimyo's mansion were gone, and he stumbled and tried to escape.

But there was a sound of wings flapping rapidly behind him, and it was getting closer and closer, and when the daimyo fled to the main hall, he was so nervous that his legs and feet cramped, so he simply pulled open the dark room on the ground and hid in! The dark room was originally used to hide when surrounded by enemies, but I didn't expect it to be used at this time......

The three samurai of the daimyo were killed in their sleep by the yokai with poisonous smoke, and they couldn't find where the daimyo was, so in the end, they simply didn't wait and took over the daimyo's mansion by pretending to be the daimyo and the three samurai, because it was a yokai, the work and rest time was different from others, and the main hall had their presence almost all the time.

This is a bitter daimyo, he hides in the dark room, although there are ventilation holes, but there is no food in the dark room.

After staying up for two days, he couldn't help but want to leave the dark room, only to find that the monsters had completely mastered the power, and unless someone could kill the monsters, he would only give it for nothing when he went out. He was so hungry that he even tore the animal skin belt around his waist to satisfy his hunger, but there was no water, and he held on until the seventh day, and the whole person was dying.

He heard the sound of a fight outside, and with the last of his strength, he propped up to the vent, and saw Xiao Zhi kill all three terrifying monsters as if possessed by a god. The whole person was in a state of confusion, and the desire to survive drove him to knock on the floor hard, because he no longer had the strength to push the floor away, in order to prevent being detected, the floor was particularly thick, about a dozen catties......

Probably feeling that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the daimyo took a sip of water, coughed twice and said: "The monster should be killed by you, you are my benefactor, say, if you want food or money, I will try my best to satisfy your ......"

Xiao Zhi remembered what Hua Mosquito said just now, and suddenly felt that it made sense.

He smiled, "I'm going to go to a territory called Daigo in Kaga Province, which is said to have established itself as the Daigo country, and I want to borrow some troops from you, Lord Daimyo, to crusade against this Daigo country." ”

The daimyo sighed: "Since something like that happened in the shogunate, every country has begun to fall apart from the inside, and even those samurai lords and even squires under my command have begun to set up their own gates, and in this country they have set up one small country after another, I can help you, but I'm afraid I can't lend you too many troops, because going to Kaga Province once will cost a lot of money supplies, I'm really sorry......"

Xiao Zhi touched his pocket: "If you don't need to pay for it, Lord Daimyo, and I will raise the troops borrowed from you at my own expense, then how many people can I borrow?" ”

The daimyo's eyes lit up, and if he paid for it, it would be a good feeling.

In order to maintain security and stability, the city must also be vigilant against the enemy attack at any time, the consumption of those light foot soldiers is very large, the current daimyo's mansion is no longer the former daimyo's mansion, with the betrayal of a large number of samurai under his command to stand on their own, the annual tribute handed over in the past two years is getting less and less, and it is naturally difficult for him to support such consumption......

If the young man in front of him really has the ability to pay and take a force out for a while, no matter whether his crusade is successful or not, he can give the city a deterrent to those young people!

Thinking of this, his throat itched again, and he coughed twice: "Since you are my benefactor, I can't be stingy, how about giving you a thousand, this number of troops may be a little difficult to fight against Kaga Country, but if it is said to deal with a small country with a territory, it should be more than enough." ”

Xiao Zhi frowned, there are only a thousand people?

Forget it, it's better than nothing, this is not the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the sea, suppressing the rebellion or something, at every turn, tens of thousands of troops are running south and north, he can only follow the customs......

Although the daimyo knew that the question was a little sensitive, he couldn't help but ask, "This...... Xiao Zhijun, the consumption of a thousand people is not a small amount, I am curious if you have so much money to support such a force! ”

Xiao Zhi squinted at the daimyo, he could feel a hint of greed, and laughed: "My ancestor used to be a squire and left a small amount of money, if it weren't for the enmity with the Daigo country, I would never take it out." Now this team of 1,000 people, I think it should be enough to support more than half a month, you can rest assured, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the remaining troops will be returned to you within half a month......"

stayed in the Daimyo's Mansion for one night, and the next day, Xiao Zhi led a thousand people out of the city. The daimyo lent him two horses very generously, saying that it was a long way to go to Kaga Province, and he couldn't do without horses, but Xiao Zhi did not refuse him......

After Xiao Zhi left, the daimyo sat in the main hall, looked at the newly promoted henchman samurai and said: "Send a few clever people who are good at disguise to quietly follow behind the team, see how much money this Xiao Zhi has, don't panic if something happens, just report the news as soon as you come back......"
