Entering the horse house, Taikubo Chang continued to do the work he was used to, which was trading. As soon as he entered the horse house, the owner of the horse house recognized Taikubo Chang'an.

The owner of the horse house said, "Boss Taikubo didn't expect you to choose a horse in person today." How much do you want this time? Recently, horses in Harima Country are still relatively cheap. The owner of the stablehouse had a smile on his face. Looks like an authentic businessman.

Taikubo Changan said: "This time I picked a few horses for my own use. So, you have to be cheaper. Taikubo Chang'an smiled more happily than the owner of the horse house. Those who don't know can't see that this is to buy horses. I thought this was the posture of an old friend meeting.

The owner of the horse house said, "Since the owner of Taikubo uses it himself, I can recommend you a few good horses." Come with me, a few of you. ”

Several men followed the owner of the stables into the back stable. There are a lot of horses in the stable. The owner of the stablehouse came out with a group of horses. Said: "Boss Taikubo, look at this horse, the authentic Aizuguro. This horse is definitely one of a kind. ”

The horse pulled out by the owner of the horse house was indeed one of the better horses during the Warring States period of Japan at that time. The Aizu region is located in the mountains of northeastern Japan, and most of the horses produced here have dark coats, and because they mostly walk on mountain roads, these horses have good endurance and climbing ability. So many middle and lower rank samurai and some wealthy merchants were very fond of this kind of horse.

Taikubo Changan looked at the horse, and the whole body was dark in color, and there was not a single stray hair. The mane on his body was as bright as black satin. A good horse indeed. Taikubo Changan nodded, indicating that it was good.

Akechi Mitsuhide didn't look at the horse, but walked straight to a brown horse. And this horse is not conspicuous at all in the stable. The horse looked very thin. It is half a horse's head shorter than other horses. However, the fur on his body is also brown and shiny. The horse's ears look small, a bit like a cat's ears.

Akechi Mitsuhide walked up to the brown horse and gently stroked the horse's cheeks with his hand. The horse also gently rubbed Akechi Mitsuhide's little hand. Ma Tou nodded little by little, and seemed to be very intimate with Akechi Mitsuhide. Akechi Mitsuhide touched the horse's head and looked back at the owner of the stable.

The owner of the horse house ran to Akechi Mitsuhide and said, "My lord, this horse cannot be sold, this horse is called Little Skylark, and it was personally selected by His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga a few days ago. Recently, I was about to send it to His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga. It's just that I haven't found a bodyguard yet. ”

Before they left the house, they had already changed their clothes. Akechi Mitsuhide changed into the costume of a high-ranking samurai, so the owner of the horse house could see that this was a samurai, and samurai, for civilians, were big shots.

Akechi Mitsuhide looked at Taikubo Chang'an again, and seemed to ask Taikubo Chang'an to speak.

Taikubo Changan said: "Oh, boss, do you know who this adult is?" If you had known, you wouldn't have said what you just said. ”

The owner of the horse house shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Taikubo Yasan said: "This is the most powerful retainer of His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga, Lord Akira Hinata Morimitsuhide. Don't hesitate to say hello to adults. ”

The owner of the horse house trembled, knelt directly on the ground, and said: "The villain didn't know that the adults were coming, so he didn't welcome him from afar, so please atone for his sins." ”

Akechi Mitsuhide ignored the owner of the stable, opened the door of the stable, and brought out the brown horse called Little Skylark. Wise Mitsuhide didn't saddle the horse, grabbed the horse's mane, turned over directly on the horse, lay on the horse's back, and rode the little lark to the training ground of the stable. Then he rode a little lark around the training ground. The skinny little lark, carrying the thin wisdom of Guangxiu, does look much more harmonious.

Of course, the owner of the horse house did not dare to say anything. Taikubo Yasushi said with a smile: "This horse, hand it over to Lord Akechi Mitsuhide to bring back to His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga, are you at ease?" ”

Everyone knows that Akechi Mitsuhide is a general under Oda Nobunaga, and he is deeply trusted by Oda Nobunaga. So the owner of the stables had no objections. Of course, he didn't dare to have any opinions. If this horse was not handed over to Akechi Mitsuhide, Akechi Mitsuhide would have been able to cut off his head at that time. A high-ranking samurai kills a civilian, it's like playing. There is no need for any reason at all. And even if he was hacked to death, the most he could do was to say to the daimyo that the commoners were disobedient. If you lose ten or twenty times, you won't be able to do it.

Akechi Mitsuhide rode back to the little lark, and several others also picked their own horses. The boss saddled each horse.

Taikubo Changan began to bargain with the owner of the horse house. Taikubo Chang Chang wears a yellow kimono with wide sleeves. There are dark flowers on it, which is a common garment worn by ordinary businessmen, and Taikubo Chang Chang stretched out his arm, and the owner of the horse house put his hand into Tai Kubo Chang Chang's sleeve. It was a way for merchants to negotiate prices for business at that time.

The two men used their sleeves to block their hands, gesturing with various gestures.

The owner of the horse house said, "This is the lowest money. ”

Taikubo Changan shook his head and said, "No, this is the money near Harima Country recently." ”

The owner of the horse house said: "No, no, there is a famous breed like Aizuguro in this horse, so the boss of Taikubo will give this money." ”

Taikubo Changan said: "It's too much, at most this money." ”

The owner of the horse house thought for a moment and said, "Okay, just this money." ”

Then, Taikubo Changan said: "The little lark is the horse of His Royal Highness Oda Nobunaga, so not only can you not collect money, we will help you transport it as a bodyguard, and you also have to give us a transportation fee, at least 20 yuan." ”

The owner of the horse house smiled bitterly: "Boss Taikubo is really good at business." No wonder he became a royal merchant of the daimyo at such a young age. Okay, next time I'll take care of the villain's business. ”

Taikubo Changan smiled and said, "It must be." ”

Several people got on their horses and left Mikicho. From Miki Town to Sakamoto Castle, you have to pass through Arioka Castle, Akutagawa Castle, Katsuryuji Castle, and the capital at that time to get there. A few people on horseback on the road, of course, do not enter the city, but just pass by.

Leaving Mikicho, to Arioka Castle and then to Akutagawa Castle, the road is mountainous. I don't go very fast on horseback either. When I was about to arrive at Akutagawa Castle, I was at the entrance to a mountain stream and was blocked by a large boulder. The stone is about five or six meters high. Just enough to block the entire mountain stream. The stone is not too tall though. Wayne had no problem crawling over with his skills. Except for Taikubo Chang'an and Kakiemon, the other three should be able to climb over. It's just that people can pass. But the horses could not get by.

This made Wayne difficult. Wayne asked, "Mitsutoshi Dorao, if you don't take this road, how long will it take to change to Sakamoto Castle?" ”

Mitsutoshi Tarao replied, "Report to the captain, you need to return to Miki Castle, then go north, then to Fukunoyama Castle, and then pass by Hagami Castle, Tanba Kameyama Castle, and Nijo Castle to arrive." ”

Wayne looked at the map, his head growing. It's completely a roundabout. It's almost a seven-day trip to Japan. Changing lanes is not a no-go. Wayne was wondering what to do. Look for tools in the space ring that can blow up the boulder.

At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide dismounted and walked to the side of the boulder. Found an easy place to start. Lift the boulder with your hands and still bring it to the side. It couldn't have been easier. Wayne was a little stunned, this big stone weighed two or three tons, to say the least. Just threw out by a little girl like Lori like Akechi Mitsuhide. If Wayne hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Akechi Mitsuhide finished throwing the boulder and clapped his hands. Expressionlessly, he mounted the little lark and continued to walk forward. I didn't look at the stunned crowd behind me at all. It's as if that's a normal thing.

It wasn't until Zhizhi Guangxiu walked into the mountain stream and was about to walk out of everyone's sight that several people reacted and rode their horses to chase after them.

Several people rode to the middle of the mountain stream and found that there seemed to be traces of a fight in the middle of the mountain stream. Mitsutoshi Dorao dismounts to check. It seemed that there was still a trace of fresh blood in the dirt on the ground.

Mitsutoshi Dorao said, "Report to your lordship, there was a fierce battle here, and depending on the time, it should be half an hour ago." ”

Wise Mitsuki stretched his hand forward and said, "Go check it out." ”

Mitsutoshi Dorao rode to check it out.

The rest of the people also quickened their pace and walked forward.

A little further back, Wayne seemed to hear shouts of killing. Mitsutoshi Dorao reported that there seemed to be bandits robbing the caravan ahead.

Wayne looked at Akechi Mitsuhide, who didn't speak, but just lightly boarded the stirrup and urged the horse to rush forward.

Wayne and a few people followed behind, rode for a while, and saw that there were about a dozen bandits in front of them, surrounding a group of carriages, and the wheel prints of the carriages were very deep. It seems to be very heavy inside. Several men dressed as merchants crouched beside the carriage with their heads in their hands. There are also a few bodyguards dressed as ronins, holding knives, confronting the bandits. There are already a few bodyguards hanging on them.

Akechi Mitsuhide had already pulled out his katana at his waist and rushed into the crowd. Chop melons and vegetables, and slash and kill bandits. Wayne also mounted his horse to follow, and also took out a katana and rushed into the crowd, but Wayne did not cut down the bandits. Just concerned about the safety of Akechi Mitsuso. After all, if something happens to Akechi Mitsuhide, the mission will be declared a failure. However, Wayne felt that even a strange woman like Wise Mitsu should not be in any danger.

Mitsutoshi Dorao waited in the distance for an opportunity to place his shuriken. After all, Mitsutoshi Tarao is a ninja, and although he is also extraordinary in hand-to-hand combat, this is not in line with the style of a ninja.

And Taikubo Chang'an and Kakiemon were also like those besieged merchants, dismounted and squatted aside. It seems that such a move would not be difficult for the bandits.

Wise Mitsuhide stabbed one by one, and after more than a dozen stabs, none of the thieves could stand on the ground. However, Akechi Mitsuhide's knife didn't seem to be sharp, like an iron rod, just beating these bandits. So, these bandits were basically just broken bones or something, and they weren't split in half. Of course, if Akechi Mitsuhide is willing, even if he is holding a wooden stick, he is estimated to be able to split people in half.
