Chapter 12: The Young Master's Troubles
"Of course not, the so-called "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasure Palace" is dissatisfied with Young Master Hattori, our Koga faction has recently had a very important operation, intending to spy on the military camp of Toyotomi Hideyori, the enemy of the Tokugawa Shogun."
Hattori glanced at the blackened cigarette butt on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and while his heart ached for his beloved tatami mat, he had to pretend that he didn't care: "That's a good thing, Toyotomi Hideyori, a mediocre talent who doesn't know the powerful relationship, thinks that he has always refused to submit to the general because of the yin of Toyotomi Hideyoshi." The rest of his army were the descendants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and they were the biggest threat to the general. If you are willing to serve the general, it will be very good. ”
At that time, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi fell ill and died, Tokugawa Ieyasu tore off his mask of hypocrisy, immediately annexed the territory of the original lord - Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and defeated the main force of Hideyoshi's loyal patriarch - Ishida Mitsunari, forcing Ishida Mitsunari to commit suicide.
At that time, the forces of the Toyotomi family were exhausted in the conquest of the troops of the Joseon Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and they were not at all the opponents of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was lying on his back and hiding his strength.
At this point, the world was no longer the world of the Toyotomi family, and the history of the Tokugawa family's shogunate reign began.
In this context, Yun Qi said that he wanted to complete the spying on Toyotomi Hideyori's troops, and it was difficult for Hattori to say anything, after all, this was a military matter, and it was not something that could be interfered with by him, a junior who had not inherited the name of Hanzo.
Yun Qi observed his words and colors, and caught a trace of cowardice that Hattori Gohachiro couldn't help revealing in military affairs, and saw the difficulty of the task and the risks involved in actual action.
Grab the other party's hole cards, and the initiative in the subsequent negotiations will naturally be firmly in the hands of Yun Qi without any suspense.
As a result, Yun Qitu opened his true purpose with a dagger: "Therefore, a map with detailed records will help us complete the task more efficiently."
As soon as he heard that Yun Qi wanted a map of Japan, Hattori Gohachiro's face changed slightly. He habitually glanced left and right, and made sure that the people in the room were his most loyal cronies, so he dared to answer Yun Qi's words:
"You're crazy! You dare to ask me for a map! Don't you know that this is a state prohibition, and the general has explicitly banned the circulation of all maps among the people. What the hell do you want to do! ”
The last sentence had already been used in a very serious tone, and several samurai standing behind Hattori Gohachiro drew their katanas almost simultaneously. As long as the young master gave an order, they left and put the sharp weapons in their hands against the necks of the three outsiders, separating the heads of all the people from their torsos like cutting watermelons at any time.
Yun Qi's face did not change, completely ignoring the threat of the samurai, as if those people were not aiming at him at all.
"Master Hattori, if you think I don't hesitate to offend you, just to get what I bought from the market?"
Hattori Gohachiro looked at Yun Qi with admiration, as a new family advocating the spirit of bushido, he was not chaotic for Yun Qi like him. are the objects of their courtesy.
Hattori waved his hand to stop, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Yun Qi: "Our Hattori family has always been true to our word, since we lost, even if someone makes a ghost out of it, our Hattori family will fulfill our promise."
He paused and said, "However, your request is beyond the bottom line of our commitment, and the map is used as a strategic material. It must not be traded. This is a matter of principle and is non-negotiable. But. We can still provide you with some information, but you will have to pay the appropriate amount. ”
As he spoke, Hattori Gohachiro waved his hand, and a samurai-looking figure behind him raised his hands above his head and handed over a scroll.
The scroll unfolded in front of Yun Qi. It contains a series of information about equipment, as well as various ninja items and weapons, but compared to the content of Koga, the content provided by the Hattori family is more numerous. But it can't crush Koga in quality.
On the contrary, the content provided by Koga is really suitable for reincarnation, but it needs to be exchanged for corresponding points.
As long as you can afford enough money, you can buy the things provided by Hattori, although the price is several times higher than the market price, and even higher than the black market price, but the quantity is sufficient and suitable for large-scale purchases.
However, these things are not attractive to Yun Qi, and the only thing that still catches the eye is the many disposable scrolls.
It was a ninjutsu scroll commonly used by ninjas, made by a specialized ninjutsu master, and the price was ridiculously expensive, with Yun Qi's current pile of silver, it was only enough to buy three or four pieces.
Yun Qi directly pushed the list scroll to Hattori: "Things are good, if I wasn't born Jiahe, there should be a few things that will help me a lot."
The implication is that the list given by Hattori is flashy.
Yun Qi's actions once again angered the samurai chief beside him, and he pulled out half of his katana and shouted viciously: "Yaga! You are just not Koga cannon fodder even under the shinobi, and you dare to spread wild on Hattori Hanzo's territory, believe it or not, I cut you all, and the old man Koga Danmasa will not have anything to say! ”
Yun Qi only turned a deaf ear, and he faced Hattori Gohachiro: "Hattori Gongzi, it seems that what you say here, your subordinates don't buy it much."
Hattori Gohachiro's face suddenly became cloudy, just now he clearly announced that he would treat the three guests politely, but the samurai chief jumped out and accused Yun Qi of not being the one who was maintaining his majesty, but in the Japanese upper class society, where the hierarchy of superiors and subordinates is strict, the samurai chief's behavior is actually very rude, which is completely inconsistent with the qualities that the Japanese high society should have when dealing with relationships.
Hattori Gohachiro: "You go down first."
The samurai chief did not move, but stepped forward and said in the voice of an elder: "Young master, although you are in charge of the gambling house under the name of the master, the dignity of the Hattori family must be maintained. These three people have made trouble again and again, if they were the eldest young master Hattori Masashi, they would have all been chopped up and fed to the dogs......"
The more the samurai chief spoke, the more energetic he became, and before he knew it, he had already walked up to Hattori, he was tall, two heads taller than most of the diminutive Fuso, and he could be regarded as a giant among the Fuso people.
As soon as he stood up, he immediately maintained a posture of overlooking Hattori, which is a great disrespect and very serious in the hierarchical Japan.
However, Hattori can't act aggressively against the samurai chief, because this guy's other identity is more special, even if he is the son of Hanzo, he can't be disposed of at will.
The other party probably dared to collide with his young master for this reason.
Moreover, Hattori knew that the samurai who followed him were actually the descendants of the samurai chief, and even if he wanted to do a prelude, he was afraid that it would not work, but he would be caught by the other party.
Now, he can only endure it, just like when he was living under the eaves of the main house.
He hated it very much, even for the ninja family who was good at hiding his feelings and patience. (To be continued.) )
