Under the command of the dialect, the two cooperated to cross the river easily, and for them who have experienced life and death, it is not easy to jump a high pole.

Soon, Dialect and Himiko followed the river, through the forest, into the street, and came to the vicinity of a castle.

However, Fang Yan was not in a hurry to enter the city, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after observing for a while, he gave Himiko a look, and suddenly grabbed a passerby beside him, and the two of them quickly dragged him into the grove.

Fang Yan casually threw the other party on the trunk of the tree, stepped on the other party's chest hard, and said coldly: "I asked, you answered." ”

During the Warring States period in Japan, there were strict hierarchies, and ordinary civilians didn't even have names, let alone dare not resist the powerful people, and even the lowest level of the unowned samurai and ronin could control the power to kill them.

The civilian, who was also wearing linen, was pale and did not dare to resist, so he quickly nodded "Hi, hey, I know, I know, don't kill me, don't kill me." In response.

"Where is this? Whose territory? Fang Yan asked.

"This is Mikawa, Okazaki Castle, the domain of the Imagawa family, the first bow in the Tokaido." The linen civilians trembled and hurriedly answered, fearing that the dialect would continue to be rude or their hearts would become dissatisfied, so they would kill themselves.

Sure enough, Fang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued: "Who is the castle lord of Okazaki? What about the lord of the country? ”

"The lord of the castle is Yasumasa Kamihara, and the lord of the country is Yoshimasama Imagawa." The linen civilians replied respectfully, even in danger, they never forgot to add honorifics and respectful tones, this hierarchy is almost a shackle on the soul and cannot be changed for a lifetime.

Himiko suddenly spoke: "Imagawa Yoshimoto, that guy I know, is a descendant of the Ashikaga Shogun's Mansion, has a collateral lineage, is a very famous daimyo, and his status is ......"

Seeing that Himihu frowned again and couldn't continue for a long time, Fang Yan had no choice but to add: "The status is probably equivalent to Yuan Shao in the Three Kingdoms." ”

"Yuan Shao? Who is that guy? Himiko was stunned for a moment.

Fang Yan glanced at the other party, and did not explain, but said to the civilians under his feet: "Do you have any money on you?" ”

"No, no." The commoner swallowed his saliva and quickly shook his head, seeing that the dialect was gradually gloomy, he quickly explained: "Since last week, Lord Imagawa Yoshimoto has begun to collect taxes, and many people have even had their homes raided, but there really isn't, my lord." ”

"I wanted to confirm the currency, but since I didn't have it, forget it, Himiko, kill him." Fang Yan nodded and said lightly.

Himi's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't ask anything, he took out the wood spirit longbow and shot several arrows at the other party in a row, and the linen civilians didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, a bloody hole appeared in his head, and he died in the suburbs with wide eyes.

Fang Yan bent down and searched the other party, and found that he was indeed penniless, but found something else.

"You got the pass to Okazaki Castle 'Hakone Te-type' x1."

This wooden pass has a strange appearance, but it is embroidered with the family crest of the Imagawa family, and a circle is crossed by two sticks.

After a cursory examination of the dialect, he slowly stood up and called out to Himi, "Let's go." Himiko nodded, keeping pace with Shang Yan.

"Don't you ask why I killed him?" Fang Yan walked for a long time, until he was almost at the city gate, and then suddenly asked.

"Don't ask, since Fang Yan wants to kill him, there must be a reason for Fang Yan you, I don't believe that you like to kill innocent people indiscriminately." Himiko shook his head and said.

Fang Yan smiled slightly, the reason why he did this was not only to confirm the authenticity of the source of the information, but more to confirm Himiko's determination, and the facts had already told him that there was no problem.

When I came to the city gate, but it was called the city gate, but it was actually not as magnificent as the dialect imagined, and the stone wall was about five meters high.

However, the city wall in Fang Yan's mind was at least about fifteen meters, which was three times worse, and he couldn't help but be disappointed a lot.

What really meets this condition and can really be called a city wall is a high-rise building standing in the distance among countless wooden houses and wooden sheds, which is specially designed for the residence of nobles of middle rank or above, also known as Okazaki Castle.

Fang Yan didn't feel anything strange, after all, this is the reality, he came to the city gate, and found that there were a few ashigaru standing guard at the raft lifting gate, and countless people who wanted to enter were handing each other a long strip of things, and the other party could only enter after confirmation, even in a group of several people, it seemed that only one household could have one.

"Is this the architecture of antiquity? It's amazing......"

But Himiko is different, and as a long-time resident of Japan, it is still very shocking to see what has appeared in history with my own eyes.

"Is this a pass to the city? Himiko, wait for this thing to give you. Fang Yan played with the wooden work in his hand, looked at Himiko and pondered for a moment, and then threw the Hakone hand in his hand to the other party.

Himi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say much.

The two came to Okazaki Castle, and the ashigaru in front of the door quickly stepped forward to intercept him, and after seeing that Fang Yan was dressed in linen but his appearance was not good, and Himiko was a rare straight blonde hair, he knew that the other party was a person from the Nanban, and he did not dare to be presumptuous, and said very politely: "Please show the pass." ”

Fang Yan glanced at the other party, and did not rush to call Bei Mihu to take out the pass and hand it to the other party, but snorted coldly, slapped the other party directly in the face, knocked it down, and beat the other party's nose for a long time, and after the tears were hazy, he scolded in a stern tone: "Baga! You low-class people don't even know the nobles who came from Nanban (Japan calls Western Europe, Spain, Portugal Nanban) over? Neglect us, and see how your master cleans you up. ”

Fang Yan's slap made the other party a little stunned, and a few ashigaru around him only tightened the spear in their hands and swallowed their saliva, but they didn't dare to face the two Fang Yan, you must know that if you dare to put your weapon at someone higher than yourself, it can be regarded as a rebellion, and you can be killed on the spot.

During the Warring States period of Japan, in addition to the Tang Dynasty in China, the most admired was the Nanban and the like, they had no official and no position, but their rank could be compared with the samurai, and they belonged to the middle and upper classes.

Just when the atmosphere was a little deadlocked, Himiko stood up behind Fang Yan and handed the Hakone hand with the Imagawa family crest embroidered in his hand to the other party.

"It's indeed the ornament of our Imagawa family, it's me who damn it, and snubbed the distinguished guests from afar." The ashigaru who stood up had blood on the corners of his mouth, but his tone was quite respectful, as if it was an honor to be beaten by the other party, and the strict hierarchy made them servile.

Japan was surrounded by the sea, and foreigners who wanted to come to Japan in this era were only allowed to come by ferry, and every time they came there, they would bring a lot of valuable goods to trade, which was very popular with the feudal lords.

After confirming it, Ashigaru nodded to each other, bowed deeply to the dialect two, and hurriedly let them go, not daring to hesitate.

"Hmph." Fang Yan snorted coldly again, his face dissatisfied, and under the fearful gaze of countless ordinary people, he slowly walked towards Okazaki Castle.

After a while, Himiko stabbed the other party's ribs a little speechlessly, and said, "Fang Yan, that's how you lied to me in the first place, right?" ”

Fang Yan glanced at the other party, nodded, and replied unabashedly: "Yes, now that you are in bed, you have to react, is it a little too late?" ”

Himiko: "......"

"But your natural blonde hair is still pretty easy to use." Fang Yan changed his words and stroked the other party's head with a smile, making Himiko blush and proud.

In the outskirts of the forest, the dialect has not yet been discovered, but after entering the more prosperous city, the dialect found that as long as the passers-by on the street see them, the timid ones are slightly sideways, and the bold ones are standing in the distance and peeping, and the two of them walk on the street like a blatant performance in a zoo, for everyone to watch.

And what led to all this was of course Himiko's eye-catching blonde hair that Asians didn't have.

However, in addition to being very unhappy for people to watch, no one dared to stop Fang Yan wherever he went, and they all gave way, and the two of them came to the city lord's mansion without difficulty.

Compared with the barren and low wall, the city lord's mansion looks extremely heroic, the appearance is similar to a pagoda-like connected tower type, with a total of 5 floors, in order to take into account both lightness and durability, the extension tiles are all made of bronze, which looks a little golden under the sunlight.

In front of the castle lord's mansion stood two well-dressed samurai, with katanas at their waists, and wearing a hood (a kind of helmet) and handguards and leg armor, looking like standard lightly armed samurai.

The arrival of the two people in the other dialect, the two gatekeepers were not surprised, and even their expressions did not change much, presumably not long after entering the city, the other party received the corresponding notice.

"I want to see His Excellency Kamihara." Fang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said directly to the samurai who was guarding in front of the city lord's mansion.

"Please wait." The samurai on the left nodded slightly towards the dialect, and then walked in without hurrying, not so much to inform about something, but to take a walk more aggravated, but there was no flaw in his body, and it was outrageously strong.

After five minutes, the samurai who had gone in reappeared in front of Fang Yan and said in a respectful tone, "Please come in." The lord of the city has government affairs in charge, so please wait inside. ”

Fang Yan didn't speak, and entered the castle lord's mansion with Himiko, but the moment he stepped through the door, he glanced at the samurai.

The samurai who had just entered and stood on the left side of the door was originally the confidant of the city lord of Mikawa City, and when he had received such an insult, he stood in place and was stunned, and immediately became a little annoyed.
