Chapter 14 Betting
I didn't expect that a ninja living in the countryside would have such a vision, and even he, an aristocratic son who lived in the most prosperous city in Japan all year round, might not have imagined it.
Of course, Yun Qi's words sounded good, but in the eyes of real Koga ninjas, they didn't bother to ask for help from outside forces at all.
In this group of ninjas, there is a spirit of bushido that is more bushido than the samurai, and even if they make the enemy submit, they must submit to their own force, rather than pretending to be outside.
Hattori Gohachiro thought in his heart: This ninja named Yunqi is completely different from others, not only has an extraordinary bearing, a unique vision, and a close mind, presumably he will not be without ambition, such a person, if he can be drawn by his side, he will undoubtedly be a big help in the family in the future.
Hattori Gohachiro has a certain understanding of the horror of Koga Iga ninjas, otherwise, he wouldn't really sit down with Yunqi just now to gamble.
However, if you really want to ask him to win him over, Hattori Gohachiro is a little hesitant.
If nothing else, his only concern was whether Yun Qi's own strength was in line with his insight and courage.
In the Edo period, although resourcefulness was a necessary skill for the heroes, it was not the main means of deciding victory or defeat.
Strength, only pure power, in the eyes of these uncivilized Fuso people, is the key element that determines victory or defeat.
If Yun Qi is only unique in his vision, and his strength is consistent with his current identity, which is not even a shinobi, then he is at most a staff member with a bright future.
What Hattori Gohachiro lacks most now is the sheer power to compete for the throne. It's not a scholar who can only play tricks.
Yun Qi's eyes narrowed, and he didn't seem to be interested in the changes in the outside world, but his eyes always fell on Hattori.
His every move. couldn't escape the capture of the eyes of the law, so he naturally saw that Hattori Gohachiro was a little moved, but his hesitation also showed that he was worried that his own strength was not enough.
So, he added a weight, a decisive weight, to the fluctuating scales of Hattori Gohachiro.
"Hattori, you know. Our Koga faction has always lived in seclusion, and we have not had much contact with the outside world, and we are not easily blinded by interests like most people in the world. We have a tradition of Koga. Once we become our enemies, we will continue to die for the rest of our lives until one side is completely destroyed. In the same way, once we form a friendship with one party. We have cherished this friendship for generations. Including sticking a knife in both ribs for a friend. ”
Hattori Gohachiro was shocked in his heart, and secretly scolded himself for being confused: Yes, although the Koga faction was not born, their strength is enough to reverse the success or failure of one party's forces, let alone reverse the succession of a family's descendants. Although the strength of the ninja in front of him is limited, but who is really a powerful person in Koga Iga will look at himself more. Even in the face of his father Hanzang, most of them are in disobedience. Right now. It is to take advantage of the fledgling of the person in front of you to have a good time. This is the same as betting on dice, betting is always made before the **** is opened, once there is a result, never think about betting again.
Hattori's idea of "reversing the success or failure of one party's forces" refers to Oda Nobunaga at the beginning, he was because he offended Koga Iga, and finally when the power was monstrous, he was inexplicably assassinated in Honnoji Temple, and although the culprit was involved in other daimyos, it was the ninja of Koga's side who really attacked.
"Okay, just now, I'll put the fate of the future heir on the line and gamble to my heart's content."
Hattori Gohachiro secretly made up his mind.
As Yun Qi said, Jiahe has always lived in seclusion, and now is the time to win them over before they fall to the various factions. If he is a step late, I am afraid that the forces of the other sixteen gods will immediately infiltrate the Kaga faction, and when the time comes, let alone him being a mere concubine, even if it is Hanzo's grandson, don't think about intervening in it.
For Hattori, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to decide the fate of the future.
Anyway, even if the bet is wrong, Hattori Gohachiro doesn't have much to lose.
Thinking of this, Hattori's gaze at the three of them became respectful.
Now what he has to think about is not how to obey the law, but how to win over the Koga ninja faster and more effectively.
He thought for a moment, and then said in a high-sounding voice: "Brother Yun Qi is a talent with a furrow in his chest, and I, Hattori Murachiro, admire a famous person like Brother Yun Qi the most. Since we are both great palaces, brothers and I naturally help each other, who told us to hit it off at first sight. ”
The Great Imperial Palace in the mouth of Hattori Gohachiro is the name of Tokugawa Ieyasu after he retreated to the second line, and the current general is Tokugawa Hidetada, the son of Ieyasu, but the real power is still in the hands of Tokugawa Ieyasu, including the selection of the third generation of heirs, the use of troops against Toyotomi Hideyori, these major actions are all planned by Ieyasu.
Previously, Hattori called the service of the general, but in fact, it was not enough proof that the two sides had contacted.
When he said the words "Great Imperial Palace", the relationship between the two sides was equivalent to a further step.
In the early days of the shogunate, there was an unwritten rule that only close people could address Ieyasu's Great Imperial Palace in front of each other.
Those who do not have strong alliances on both sides prefer to prevaricate each other in the name of "great generals".
Although Yun Qi didn't know the details, he saw Hattori Gohachiro's courtesy.
This time, he entered the mission world, and the enemies were not only from the plot characters, but also from the disciples of the Bloody Gate.
Therefore, it is a very important link to do a good job in the relationship with the characters in the plot.
The two began to come and go, complimenting and flattering each other, like two old foxes who have been in the officialdom for a long time, while filling up their own little ninety-nine for their own little abacus, they also did not forget to strive for each other's maximum support for themselves.
So, the two brazen guys couldn't wait to eat each other just now, but now they have become good brothers and buddies who have a wine party.
Since they are good brothers, they naturally do their best for Yunqi to do what he wants to do with the Fusang map.
Hattori Gohachiro gives three feasible solutions:
1. He has here a map that he snatched from the hands of civil organizations, which can be given directly to Yun Qi as a testimony to the establishment of the allies of both sides.
2. There is also a fragmented military map, obtained from the Hattori family's cleanup of hostile forces, which records the location of many important cities, but because of the damage, several important fortresses and strategic points are not included. However, because it belongs to the Hattori family, not Gohachiro's own things, it must be obtained at a certain price.
3. Steal military maps from enemy camps.
Three choices, representing three stealth side quests. (To be continued.) )
