"One Hearted Adult......"

Yongzhen sadly watched the raised right hand hanging down weakly, and the satisfied Sword Master finally swallowed his last breath without any worries.

"Click~"

The door of the gym also opened at this time, led by Ichiro and three veterans with white hair, a large number of high-ranking people of the country of Reina rushed in, kneeling around Yixin in a row with high and low status, and bowed to the deceased old lord with a solemn expression.

Ichiro said in a low tone: "Grandfather, I wish you a good journey on the Huangquan Road. ”

Judging from the dusty appearance of Genichiro, he should have hurried back to the city just now.

Among the three veterans behind him, the leader Lu Xiao had seen before, it was Yaxiao of the Ghost Court Criminal Department who was supposed to be in charge of guarding the city gate.

And the other two veterans should be the only remaining ghost court master Ma Yaji and Yamauchi Shikibu Toshikatsu among the seven guns of Ashina.

Just like the names of Mataka Onita, the middle names of Masaji Onita and Toshikatsu Yamauchi are their official positions, and samurai who have not yet been ordained an official position usually put their milk names in the middle.

For example, Oda Yoshinori Nobunaga, Matsudaira Takechiyo Motoyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu), Sanada Genjiro Nobushihiro (Sanada Yukimura).

"Your Excellency Ichiro, Lord of the Criminal Department is here, and the gate is ......"

After finishing up his mood, Xian Ichiro returned to his previous composure: "Your Excellency Lu Xiao don't worry, we have preliminarily completed the mass production and ripening of the worm appendages, and we have invested about a hundred insect appendages near the gate, so we can take this opportunity to try their color." ”

The reason why Genichiro stayed in the Valley of Fall for a long time and did not return was precisely to personally witness the catalytic effect of the water of the source on the undead insects.

It turns out that the method recorded in the Eternal Journey Sutra: Worm's Gift Scroll is true and effective.

When the confident Ichiro rushes back to Ashina Castle, he suddenly hears of the rebellion of the Owl and the final curtain call of Ichishin.

He immediately took the last three of the seven guns of Ashina to the outside of the small dojo, and when the battle was going on, officials at all levels of Ashina also rushed to hear the news, and only then did they form a large farewell procession.

As Isshin's only immediate family member, Ichiro will be in charge of presiding over Isshin's funeral.

Considering the current situation in Ashina Province, Koichiro rejected the proposal of civilian officials to organize a funeral on a large scale, arranging for a quick burial in as low-key a manner as possible.

The warriors didn't have a problem with this, they knew that this was also the way they wanted to send off.

After Yixin's death, Yongzhen was a little dazed for a while.

Having lost the patients and elders she cared for all the year round, she suddenly seemed to be unable to find her next life goal, and stood outside the annex building where Yixin lived for a long time, staring blankly at the fire clouds in the evening sky.

"Eternal Truth."

Lu Xiao walked behind Yongzhen and reminded, "I know you're feeling uncomfortable right now, so you might as well change your mind for a while and focus on other places." ”

Yongzhen turned around indifferently, his eyes a little blank: "Elsewhere? ”

"Never die."

Lu Xiao said firmly: "This is also the wish of Yixin before his death, don't you want to help Jiulang complete it?" ”

Under Lu Xiao's reminder, the dull-eyed Yongzhen eyes finally had a focal length.

"I know, I'll do my best to help Kuro-sama fulfill his wish, as for future goals...... I'll save that for later. ”

……

With the return of the army led by Genichiro himself, the Lone Shadow Crowd who followed the Owl quickly retreated into the shadows, hiding in all corners of Ashina to observe secretly, providing all the information in Ashina Castle to the inner army that was about to attack.

Stringichiro had a headache with these Ninjas of the Inner Mansion who were difficult to completely eliminate, and Lu Xiao took this opportunity to tell Stringichiro about his plan.

"Mobilize the teenager of the samurai family as an eyeliner for surveillance?"

Xianichiro didn't understand Lu Xiao's true intentions, and he asked half-convinced, "Can it work?" These children are the treasures of each family, in case they accidentally reveal their identities......"

"Please, don't worry, young master."

One of the seven guns of Ashina, Yamauchi Shikibu Toshikatsu interjected: "Heiroku has already informed me of this, and I, Lord Ma, and Lord Criminal Department all agree with His Excellency Lu Xiao's plan. ”

"Now that it's a matter of life and death for Ashina, if those little cubs can help behind the battlefield, we old guys can't ask for it."

Yamauchi Toshikatsu is the grandfather of Yamauchi Heiroku, the small surname of Genichiro, and the seven guns of Ashina are all die-hard supporters of Ashina Country, and the only remaining veteran in the war of thieves that year, their words still carry a lot of weight.

Xian Ichiro solemnly bowed to the three veterans and thanked him: "Thank you for your support, then act according to Your Excellency Lu Xiao's plan." ”

Summoning the young soldiers is only the first step, Lu Xiao hopes to use the positive actions of these underage little guys to awaken the numb hearts of the residents of the Reed Ming Country, so that they can also join this mass war and completely drown the lone shadows in the sea of people.

During the Warring States period, the people had gradually become numb to the war, and the country of Reina had repeatedly shown signs of youth and strength, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people to work in the fields.

Ashina, whose foreign trade routes were blocked, was very poor, and in order to maintain the basic expenses of the army, Koichiro had to levy a high tax rate, and the people of the country had no hope for the future, so they had to endure the torment day after day.

The total amount of treasures that Lu Xiao obtained from Xianfeng Temple was very large, and in order to continue the experiment of the son of change, these thieves and bald donkeys obtained a lot of money by selling Buddha sugar, and the chaotic people also secretly looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment.

The route of foreign trade in the country has not yet been opened, and there are too many precious possessions left behind to buy nothing good.

At Lu Xiao's suggestion, Xian Ichiro left behind the hard currency of Jin Xiaoju and copper hanging money, and distributed other treasures that could not be converted into resources for the time being to the people of Reed City, drawing a cake for them.

As long as the attack of the inner government is repulsed, the trade routes can be reopened, and the treasures can be converted into money and food, greatly improving the quality of life of the people of the country.

Seeing the young masters of the samurai family actively running around the city, coupled with the treasure in their hands representing the hope of the future, the insensitive people of Reina finally had motivation.

According to the textbook compiled by Lu Xiao, the warrior boys conducted secret training for the people of the city in batches, taught them how to identify the ninjas of the hostile country, and then told the information to these warrior teenagers who were running around, and handed it over to the eagle group led by the goshawk.

Over the next few days, the Lone Shadows hiding in various parts of the reeds found their intel gathering operations extremely difficult.

In the past, information that could be obtained from the mouths of residents as soon as they asked often aroused the suspicion of the local people, and they may even be discovered by the eagles who came over at some point.

Without accurate information from within the city, the army of the Inner Prefecture could no longer easily understand the movements of the army of the Assy Kingdom.

Coupled with the strange soldiers who appeared on the battlefield recently, the general of the unified army of the Inner Mansion gradually felt that something was wrong, and the situation that was originally stable was changing.

……

Mobilizing the enthusiasm of the masses in the country, Lu Xiao bid farewell to Jiulang and Yongzhen and others and set off again.

This time, his goal is to refine the last ingredient of Genno's incense, the Stone of Yusu.

However, before jumping down the pit and entering the bottom of the reed, Lu Xiao first came to the dungeon and met the legendary "genius" chemist - Daoshun.
