Chapter 287: Dark Mercenary

In Kawado City, in a heavily guarded mansion in the city, standing in front of Kikukawa Yukinari were two people with tired faces, Roddy and Nitsh. [] That look is obviously how embarrassed and embarrassed it is.

"Lord Nedice the Blood Fox!You've finally appeared!" Seeing Nidis and Roddy in front of him, the expression on Kikukawa Yukinari's face was a genuine surprise, and it was not fake at all. His gaze was obviously a little surprised, and he looked at Roddy again: "And Lord Roddy, the lone wolf...... Well, why don't you see Lord Sith, the Sin Star?"

Nidis looked at Kikukawa Yukinari in front of her with some pity, in all fairness, this Kikukawa Yukinari is not a bad person. And from the beginning of their acquaintance, he respected several of his people very much, and later he was even more obedient and completely believed his nonsense.

Xiao Juchuan looked a little tired, the original elegant and gentle look on his face seemed to be gone, with a little sorrow and sadness between his eyebrows, and a pair of eyes seemed to be full of bloodshots, obviously life has not been easy recently.

Originally, he was just a young master who only knew the wind and snow, but after being robbed by Luo Di and others for some reason, he came down step by step, and actually came to the cusp of the power struggle. After the Kyoto Incident, he narrowly escaped with his life, but now he has to confront a ruthless character like Oda Nobunaga, which is obviously far from his ability to deal with.

This Kikukawa Yukinari did have a bit of a cowardly and soft heart, and then patted his chest and said: "Thank you for the blessing of the gods, the disaster in Kyoto, I thought I would never see the two of you again, and I am often still worried about the safety of several people......

Roddy felt a little guilty in his heart. The concern in this Kikukawa Yukinari's eyes was very sincere, and Roddy coughed and winked at Nitice, which means, you can tell me.

Nidis also sighed secretly, only smiled slightly, but did not speak immediately.

Kikukawa Yukinari has been in a hurry for the past two days, and now he is being driven to confront Oda Nobunaga head-on, and he is really a little powerless. With his true skills, he is far from being Oda Nobunaga's opponent. If it weren't for the fact that he still had an elite unit of his father's lineage, "Maruki", I am afraid that he would have been killed by Oda Nobunaga long ago. 、

In his mind, being this shogun is far less enjoyable than being a carefree young master. It's just that Kikukawa Yukinari grew up in a political family after all, and he knows that he has no way out now, even if he doesn't want to do it, Oda Nobunaga will definitely find a way to kill him and then quickly. There is no choice for this kind of thing.

He was originally a cowardly person, and he met the three of Roddy when he was originally the master of the six gods. And I believed Nice's nonsense, thinking that they were really the masters that his rebellious brother had found.

Nidis saw that Kikukawa Yukinari still wanted to speak. Immediately gave him a look. Kikukawa Kosei understood, and immediately waved his hand to disperse several of his escort warriors, and then led Roddy and Nitis into the inner hall.

I saw that there was no one around. Kikukawa Yucheng hurriedly spoke: "Two." Kyoto, where have you been? Why are you so embarrassed now......

Nidis sighed, with an expression of "unbearable past": "That day, Mr. Roddy chased your brother Kikukawa Yasuichi, but he ran into a little trouble. Mr. Roddy was still a little wounded, and Lord Sith and I did not dare to delay, so we went back to find your brother with Mr. Roddy overnight...... Luckily, we left Kyoto and escaped the disaster......"

Speaking of that disaster, Kikukawa Yukinari showed a little deep fear on his face. Apparently that night left a lasting impression on him. Especially when I saw a fire in the distance. The huge explosion almost shook everyone unconscious, and then the huge city was instantly reduced to nothing, and then the whole world thundered like lightning and thunder. In the end, even the majestic Mt. Kinabalu disappeared...... Such a terrible situation, these days have been wandering in Kikukawa Yukinari's dreams every day......

Nidis also saw the fear on Kikukawa Yukinari's face, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Although we escaped by luck, we were in too much of a hurry and didn't have anything with us. Along the way, the displaced people who fled. Then we met Oda Nobunaga's cavalry, and Mr. Roddy took care of several of them, and only then did we get the news from the mouths of these people. Our 'Dark Mercenary' organization is the most trustworthy! Since we have promised to help you, Young Master Kikukawa, then we will definitely not leave you alone! So we came all the way. At this point, Nitis made a sincere expression on her face.

Kikukawa Yukinari sighed and was sincerely grateful: "The two of you have worked hard for the sake of Xingcheng......! I don't know how the two of you are so embarrassed?"

"Uh...... That's it. For the convenience of walking on the road, we robbed several horses and clothes and armor of Oda Nobunaga's cavalry, and disguised themselves as Oda Nobunaga's cavalry. As you know, it's not a smooth road, and the road to Kawado is all Oda Nobunaga's sphere of influence. We disguised ourselves as their cavalry, just to avoid being interrogated. Nitis said quickly: "It's a pity, by mistake, we walked less than five miles, but we met a team of samurai under you, Young Master Kikukawa...... As a result, the two sides fought fiercely...... We had no choice but to steal the clothing and equipment of your subordinates, and turned to the makeup of your subordinates as samurai. But what happened next made us cry and laugh a little......"

"Huh?"

Nidis sighed: "Along the way, your subordinates and Oda Nobunaga's cavalry fought each other, and we dressed up as your subordinate samurai, and it was inevitable that we would be chased and killed by Oda Nobunaga's cavalry. However, the cavalry dressed as Oda Nobunaga was inevitably misunderstood by the samurai of your subordinates. Although we are not afraid of our ability, after all, we still can't meet the troops of the brigade. Besides, if it's your subordinates, we don't want to hurt your faithful samurai!...... Later, under the joint research of Mr. Roddy and I, we decided to abandon the equipment on our bodies and hide the soldiers in the people! Let the enemy no longer find our whereaboutsThere is a good saying, 'Surround the enemy with a people's war'! After we disguised ourselves as ordinary people, we strategically stood on the same front as the ubiquitous people, thus completing the purpose of strategically encircling the enemy and hiding ourselves. ”

"But why are you still so embarrassed......

"Young Master Kikukawa, please listen to us!" Nitis looked angry: "After all, Mr. Luo Di and I are still young and inexperienced, although there is no mistake in strategic decision-making, but we still estimate the current situation. Although he successfully completed the purpose of disguising his identity, he was also pursued by Oda Nobunaga's cavalry and the samurai in your land. Not only did they forcibly pull the strong men, but they also robbed the beautiful women and their belongings!!The fierce battles along the way really made us a little tired of coping, so we became the way we are now...... Alas......"

"There is such a thing?!" Kikukawa Yukinari's face was a little unkind: "Those guys actually did nonsense behind my back?!"

Nitis immediately said quickly: "Young Master Kikukawa doesn't need to worry, we have already taught those guys a lesson on your behalf along the way! The army of the Kikukawa family is elite and powerful, and the guys we met on the road are just a very small number of people who do not abide by military law." Since we've already helped Young Master Kikukawa teach them a lesson, forget it. ”

Nidis didn't want this Kikukawa Yukinari to have a hot brain and really pursue the responsibility of those people on the front. One comes. This is inevitable in times of such turmoil. Second, the more troublesome these armies of Kikukawa Yukinari become. Otherwise, if Kikukawa Yukinari is very popular, has won the support of the people, and has made the dwarves united, then how can Nidis become a puppet?

As for the third, it is even more important. This Kikukawa Yukinari is really not a strong leader, otherwise he would not have made such a thing as his subordinates burning and looting civilians.

Oda Nobunaga's people did this because Oda Nobunaga wanted to gather strength. Preparing military supplies and pulling strong men is a last resort. But Kikukawa Yukinari has already taken over Kawado, the second largest city in the Dwarven Kingdom! The city is prosperous and the supplies are abundant. However, those soldiers under his command are still misbehaving, which can only show that Kikukawa Yukinari is mismanaged.

Besides, this Kikukawa Yukinari has no prestige at all on weekdays, obviously his subordinates can have it, it is completely by mistake, this army was ordered by the old Kikukawa General to follow him out to hunt down the traitors. Now the old general has long since finished with Kyoto. God knows if this cowardly and incompetent young master can hold down this army, in case...... Hmph, if there is a mutiny in the army, he will be finished before he can support this Kikukawa Yukinari to come to power, then what kind of bamboo basket will be empty!

Kikukawa Yukinari sighed and pulled the two of them to kneel down on the soft couch. The three of them rested for a while, and Kikukawa Xingcheng spoke: "The two of you have not stopped worrying in my heart for a moment in the past few days, my country has suddenly encountered such a great disaster, my heart has already been chaotic, I don't know what the two of you can do to help me?"

Nidis deliberately pinched it, pretending to be silent for a moment before saying: "Young Master Kikukawa, I got your news all the way, but I think you have done a good job! You can put up a banner at a critical time, set yourself up as the shogun, and command the entire dwarf kingdom in the name of the general, this approach is very correct and decisive! After all, after all, you are the son of the old general, and now that the old general is gone, you are the rightful heir! At this point, Oda Nobunaga has no way to fight with you!"

Kikukawa Yukinari smiled bitterly, "Miss Nice, my heart is not easy at all. He sighed deeply, and his eyes showed a little sadness: "My father is no longer here, and most of the burden of a thousand pounds is on my shoulders, and I have never felt so panicked since I was a child...... Besides......" The expression on his face turned sad, "Father and mother are gone...... And Her Royal Highness the Princess...... I was bent on fighting for the position of heir that day, just for the sake of Her Royal Highness the Princess! For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor......'s wishes! However, in the event of a catastrophe in Kyoto, I heard that the entire Imperial Palace had been destroyed, and no one escaped...... When I thought of the tragic death of Her Royal Highness the Princess...... I'll ......" Speaking of this, the little master actually shed a few tears.

Nidis thought to herself that you couldn't back down now, so she hurriedly said, "Young Master Kikukawa, you have shouldered the expectations of the old General Kikukawa!

Luo Di showed a somewhat disdainful expression, and secretly snorted coldly.

A little guilt in his heart for this Kikukawa Yukinari disappeared in an instant. Just because this Kikukawa Yukimin mentioned the death of his parents, he just brought it lightly, and he didn't show much sadness, but he cried and was sad for a woman. No heart and no lungs, you can see it!

Nidis shook her head and said, "Young Master Kikukawa, you don't have to be like this, the current situation is not very optimistic. Thankfully, you made the right decision at the critical moment! Now you are raising the banner to confront Oda Nobunaga as the heir to your old general. It was already possible to command many of the shogunate's local armies. You are now on the side of justice!"

She comforted her a few more words, and seeing that Kikukawa Xingmin's mood calmed down a little, she said slowly: "I don't know what is the most worrying thing in your heart right now? Now that Mr. Roddy and I have arrived here, you might as well say what concerns you have, and see if we can relieve your troubles." ”

Kikukawa Yukinari thought for a moment and said, "What I'm most worried about now is the invasion of the Roland army on the front line. After a pause, he added: "The army of the Roland people is strong. Our dwarves are invincible in the first place, and have always relied on naval forces to defend at sea. But now they've boarded 6 to get in. Although Oda Nobunaga and I are fighting to the death, I am afraid that we will still be killed by the Rolands in the end!" This answer surprised Nidith and Roddy slightly.

Originally, I thought that Kokukawachi's answer might be that he was worried that he would not be able to defeat Oda Nobunaga, or that the army on the front line would support Oda Nobunaga and oppose him. I can't think of Xiao Kikukawa, who has always been a little stupid. I actually said such an insightful set of ideas.

Seeing that Roddy and Nidis were both looking at him with blazing eyes, Kikukawa Yukinari smiled a little embarrassedly: "Don't be surprised, I didn't understand these truths originally, and they were all told to me by others." ”

Speaking of this, there was a little happy look in his eyes: "You also know this person, it is the samurai named Hideyoshi of Windy Castle that we received together here in Kawado City last time! When I came out this time, thanks to him who followed me loyally, and I came all the way to Kawado City, it is also thanks to him, a local, who helped me win people's hearts. He recruited a lot of samurai he knew for me here, which greatly enriched the strength of my subordinates!" Speaking of this, Xiao Kikukawa sighed: "This person was also found by the two of you with me at the beginning. Speaking of which, the two of you are really my lucky stars!"

Hearing this, Nitis couldn't help but look at Roddy, only to see that Roddy was also looking at her with a meaningful gaze.

Kokikugawa Yukinari seemed to be a little pleasant, and continued, "This time I am the shogun myself, and it is also the strong suggestion of Hideyoshi of Windy City. Moreover, he also said that Oda Nobunaga occupied the town of Kashima, which was where the fleeing refugees passed, and that in order to prevent Oda Nobunaga from gathering those refugees to increase his strength, he suggested that I send a small army to harass them frequently, and try not to let Oda Nobunaga ...... Alas, God blesses me, after such a catastrophe suffered by my Juchuan family, he actually gave me such a capable talent!"

Roddy and Nidis exchanged glances, and they couldn't help but think: This Windy City Hideyoshi, it seems that there are really two hits.

Nidice pondered for a moment, as if she was brewing her words, and when the expression on Kikukawa Yukinari's face gradually calmed down, she smiled and said, "Young Master Kikukawa, your words also make sense. The army of the Roland people in the south does worry you. But have you forgotten what I said to you?"

When Nidis said this, she paused deliberately, and pretended to have an unfathomable expression on her face: "Have you forgotten where I came from? Have you forgotten that Roddy and I, as well as Mr. Sith, our 'dark mercenary' organization was commissioned by your brother Koichi Kikukawa? The Roland army in the south was also brought by Koichi Kikukawa, and it was deliberately brought in by him in order to get military power, and it was just colluded with him. You must know that the reason why Koichi Kikukawa was able to get the help of the Roland army and deliberately let the Roland army come in was all because our 'dark mercenaries' organization built bridges on the front line in the middle!"

"Yes, yes!" Kikukawa Yukinari showed an excited expression on his face: "I haven't forgotten! Now that you're here, can you please go and talk to Roland and ask them to retire!"

Luo Di shook his head secretly in his heart when he heard this, this Kikukawa Yusei is indeed not a material to do big things. How can he be so child's play, saying in one or two sentences that he will retire from the army? He thought too simply, could it be that a child is playing at home?

Nidith immediately smiled gently, blinked, and said, "Don't worry, don't you see that Master Sith is not with the two of us? ”
