The afterglow of the setting sun shone from the sky, and the soft light of the dusk shone on Ye Ye's body, as well as on the bustling pedestrian carriage on the road.

Before entering the boundary town, Ye Ye felt a very different strong atmosphere, the flat road paved with stones gradually replaced the original dirt road, open enough for several carriages to drive side by side, and the crowd of people coming and going was endless, compared to the numb civilians he had seen before, the people near here were obviously much better spirited, and there were more smiles on their faces. Of course, the crowd was filled with more sword-carrying, fierce-looking ronin samurai, as well as smug or sad-faced merchants.

"Is that the Boundary Town?"

Ye Ye saw from a distance a large number of rows of houses of varying heights, stretching towards the distant coastline, countless seagulls stretching their white wings in the sky, and faintly seeing sails exposed on the sea.

As soon as we approached Jiezhen, the bustling waves rushed in my face, and the flat streets paved with bluestone were densely populated, with BMX carts pushing goods, merchants calling with goods, drunken ronin, and women with pink faces... The streets are lined with dense shops, wooden doors with different delicate paper flowers, or half-hanging colorful curtains, and the interior furnishings are also distinctive, displaying a dazzling array of goods without looking crowded and cluttered, but giving passing customers a dizzying feeling.

Ye Ye even saw several Chinese or Western-style shops, which were not at all abrupt among the many shops with their own characteristics.

"It's a strong business atmosphere."

Ye Ye couldn't help but be a little moved, although limited by the limitations of the times, the buildings here cannot be compared with the steel jungle high-rise buildings in modern cities, but they have surpassed the commercial streets of some third-tier cities in later generations, especially the atmosphere of freedom and prosperity and vitality can't help but render everyone who comes to Jiezhen.

Ye Ye walked down the street along the crowd, because Jiezhen is the most prosperous trading place between Japan and overseas, there are not only Japanese in the crowd, but also foreigners such as Ming, Westerners and even Arabs, Ye Ye's clothes are not conspicuous here at all, and they are as silent as a splash of water blending into the sea.

It was getting late, Ye Ye remembered that he hadn't eaten since he came to this world, and touched the copper coins he had touched from those robbers before, although it was not much, but it was enough for the expenses of the past few days, so he found a tavern with better decoration and walked in.

Compared with some low-level taverns that he passed through before, the one Ye Ye entered now is obviously much more advanced, the floor is covered with neat and soft tatami mats, several landscape screens are staggered, separating the hotel from several different spaces, boxy small tables are placed in order, soft futons are placed on both sides of the table, the whole store is clean, and the guests inside are no longer ronins, most of them are merchants dressed more gorgeously, and some are samurai with swords, But the same clothing and gas are much better than what Ye Ye has seen before, and they are obviously worth a lot of money.

As soon as Ye Ye stepped into the door, a plump proprietress ran over on clogs, and a sweet fragrance wafted to Ye Ye's nose before she could get close, and then the proprietress bowed respectfully before she raised her head and smiled at Ye Ye: "Guest, welcome, please sit inside!" ”

The proprietress is about twenty years old, she looks round and jade, a loose kimono reveals a large area of plump white greasy on her chest, and a deep ravine is revealed when she bends down just now, and the sharp-eyed Ye Ye even caught the fleeting two points of bright red, and couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart: This service attitude is really wanted.

The proprietress ushered him into a small square table and sat down, and soon served some food and drinks, the kind of exquisite cuisine that Japan is famous for all over the years, and the dishes are not so fancy.

A fragrant grilled fish, a small pot of boiled shrimp and shellfish, a few pickled radish, a bowl of miso soup with small pieces of tofu, a large bowl of white rice and two pots of sake, are all of Ye Ye's meal.

Ye Ye stretched out his chopsticks and stirred these drinks and dishes twice, and sighed quietly, his hope of enjoying ancient Japanese food was dashed. He was even a little glad that if it weren't for the overhead world and the location in Jiezhen, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to eat such a simple "sumptuous meal".

However, those two pots of sake are naturally light and tasteless in the mouths of modern people who are accustomed to drinking high alcohol, but they are quite palatable to Ye Ye, who doesn't like to drink very much, and has a fragrance.

Silk music sounded, and a maid in the middle of the hotel began to sing and dance, although the tone of the song sounded very strange to Ye Ye, but the young girl's crisp voice was very pleasant, so Ye Ye was not disgusted, and enjoyed it while eating with great interest.

A pair of white and tender hands took the wine jug, and a delicate maid half snuggled up to Ye Ye and poured wine for him, Ye Ye could clearly feel the soft ** curve under the kimono clinging to him, smiled and took out a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into the maid's arms, and a delicate thank you voice of surprise and joy immediately came from her ears.

(It's a bit of an interesting world, maybe you should stay here for a few more days.) ）

Eating side dishes, drinking wine, and listening to small songs, Ye Ye, who had the warm nephrite in his arms, thought leisurely.

At this time, a group of people surrounded a middle-aged man dressed luxuriously and magnificently walked in, the proprietress saw it and hurriedly greeted her, her smile was much more sincere than before, and there were three points of admiration and affection in respect, and the businessmen who were originally sitting in the store to eat and drink also stood up to greet the middle-aged man, obviously the status of the person who came was extraordinary.

"Who is this, who looks like a big shot?"

Ye Ye asked the maid beside her with some curiosity, and the little girl looked at Ye Ye with wide eyes and surprise when she heard this, and then reacted and pursed her lips and smiled: "This guest officer, you just came to Jiezhen, right?" ”

"That's right, just arrived today."

"No wonder you don't know this lord, this is the leading wealthy merchant in the town, Lord Imai Sohisa."

It turned out to be him, Ye Ye knew in his heart that Jiezhen, as the most prosperous commercial port in the Warring States Period, was an independent force that did not belong to any daimyo, and most of the power was in the hands of the merchant consortium known as the "Huihezhong", with its own subsidiary armed forces, and maintained a neutral position in Jiezhen in the troubled times, and this Imai Sojiu was a giant among the merchants of Jiezhen, and his position was very important. Moreover, this Imai Munehisa has successively attached to the rising Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the two "people of the world", and further radiated and expanded the power of Naya.

Ye Ye's heart moved, and he suddenly wanted to see the first celebrity he had seen since he came to this era, and got up and walked towards this group of people.

The place where Imai Zong sat for a long time was cleverly separated by several screens in a claustrophobic space, and several samurai around him sat around, and when they saw Ye Ye approaching unabashedly, they stood up, their eagle-like eyes stared at Ye Ye, revealing the meaning of warning, and their hands involuntarily pressed the hilt of the knife.

"Stop."

"Stand down."

The proprietress was shocked and hurriedly wanted to come up to play the round, but Ye Ye strode towards Imai Munehisa without paying attention, ignoring the vicious and vicious guardian TV.

The warning was useless, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the two warriors, the long knife on their waists came out of the sheath, and two white sword lights staggered up and down towards Ye Ye, leaving no trace of strength. Samurai are a profession that licks blood with a knife, and it is too normal for this person to die in a war-torn year when his life is not as good as a dog, not to mention that they are still in Jiezhen, serving the authority here Imai Munehisa, and killing an offender is simply a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

Just now, the little maid couldn't help but let out a scream, and quickly covered her mouth with her little hand, as if she had seen the scene of the guest's body being dismembered.

The sword light swept across Ye Ye's figure, but there was no trace of blood, the eyes of the two warriors shrank, and the samurai hired by Imai Sojiu, who was not bad for money, naturally would not be a parallel import, they felt that the blade was empty and had no strength, and there was no sense of cutting into ** at all.

In the next moment, the phantom that was cut off by the knife disappeared, and Ye Ye was already swaggering in front of Imai Sohisa, looking at this famous wealthy businessman curiously.

"I wonder what your Excellency has to say?"

After all, it was a generation of wealthy businessmen, and there was no panic on his face, and he seemed to be shocked and asked, but his breathing became a little rapid showed that he was not as calm as he looked.

Only then did several samurai react, seeing that Ye Ye and Imai Sojiu were close at hand, they screamed anxiously, and rushed forward desperately, and several blades were intertwined under the snare cover.

"Annoying!"

Ye Ye frowned, his fingers joined together like a phantom, and the knives in the hands of these warriors flicked away together.

Seeing this scene, Imai Munehisa's face turned pale.

Which side of the assassin is it, could it be that the surrounding daimyo finally can't hold back and wants to make a move against the boundary town? Or some other businessman who is jealous of himself?

The thoughts in Imai Sojiu's mind subconsciously turned rapidly, but his heart was dead, and he finally managed his family business to such a point, as a wealthy businessman backed by Jiezhen, and his invisible power was even above the daimyo of some small places, could it be that he was going to die in the hands of this unknown stranger today and end his life?

It's just that Ye Ye's next action was unexpected by Imai Sohisa, he took out something from his arms and put it on the table, and there was no further action other than that.

"Stop!"

Imai Sohisa stopped the samurai who was going to continue the attack, and secretly cursed the fool in his heart, since it was clear that he was not the opponent of the person in front of him at all, he was only provoking the other party in vain.

"I wonder if you need your own help?"

This time he put his posture very low, and being able to bend and stretch is simply instinctive for a big businessman.

Ye Ye pushed the things he took out along the table in front of Imai Sohisa, and smiled slightly: "When I first came here, I didn't have enough entanglement around me, and I happened to know that Your Excellency is a famous businessman in Jiezhen, so I want to sell a treasure around me to Your Excellency." ”

"I see, it's my subordinates who are presumptuous." Rao is Imai Zongjiu has cultivated for a long time, and his heart is like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by, but on the surface, he smiled calmly, and at the same time cast his eyes on the thing on the table.
