When he went back, he was on the waterway, and Wang Cunye was muttering at the bow of the boat, when suddenly, his heart was shocked.

"What happened?"

Wang Cunye squinted his eyes and looked at the river, it was the sunset, shining all over the river blood red, and the spectacular setting in the distance was brilliant, and the water waves were lapping the side of the boat...... Wang Cunye made a move on Cai Pingdu, but he naturally knew that something happened at this time.

Seeing the sunset and the last trace of afterglow faded, Wang Cunye said slowly: "You go back first, investigate the situation clearly, and come back immediately to report that I know!"

A black and red shadow flashed on the deck, but it disappeared immediately, it was the last grass-headed god in the pearl.

Yanjing's law prohibits all laws and is difficult to enforce, but it has been separated from the main city, but this grass-headed god can move.

The sea of Fuso is covered with gray fog, and the sea rolls up monstrous waves, and when it reaches the near sea, it is rejected by a strong force, which is dark and deep, but exudes a rhythm that is almost in harmony with the Tao.

It is this breath that silently resists the invasion of gray mist, repeating itself and never slacking off.

Zenmi Castle Zenmi Castle is a small city, a total of 20,000 koku, but it is within the jurisdiction of Kyoto, after the establishment of the Kurokawa shogunate, a large scale of construction here, the construction of seven castles, the use of tens of thousands of civil workers, and afterwards allocated to many princely families ranging from 300 koku to 20 koku of the koku, so it attracted many merchants to pour in, but also won the praise of the imperial court.

After 300 years, these relics are still there, and it is May when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and the drizzle blows by, with a sense of tranquility.

A ronin with a long knife hanging from his waist walked along, wearing a hat on his head, and the flowing water in front of him gathered into a stream, forming a small lake, looking at the lake, Sasaki Kojiro couldn't help but touch the gourd on his waist.

"There's no water left. He thought silently, and just then, the weeds flew out with the dirt, and a wild dog quickly pounced.

Just heard a "poof", the long knife flashed, and the wild dog had been killed, and not a drop of blood splashed on himself.

The long knife was returned to the sheath, and the feeling in the dark made him feel very happy, and he knew that his kendo had been greatly promoted.

In the past six months, Kojiro Sasaki has traveled around the world, and Furano, Sensoji Temple, and Myochisha have all watched them one by one, leaving a deep imprint on his body and mind.

These are all integrated into his own sword path, and he understands more and more about the Shifang Sakura Pavilion Stream granted by the Lord, and he seems to have been born for swords.

There is a saying in Middle-earth: "If you hear the truth, you can die at night!"

Come to think of it, I'm like this too, this Shifang Sakura Pavilion is a secret, it's really terrible!

Stepping out of the trees and walking up the road, a small merchant carrying a load of pottery on his back also walked along the road towards the castle town.

"Get out of the way!" and just then, a warrior rode his horse and whipped past, and the merchant was nearly kicked by the horse's hooves and staggered and fell into the field.

The pottery on his back clicked, but a few of them shattered, and while the merchant was in a hurry, three or four or five samurai rushed towards the city.

"Are you hurt?" Ronin asked, looking back at the samurai.

"Hey, it's good that it didn't hurt ......," the little merchant looked at: "It's just that a few things on my back are broken." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the ronin, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that he was wearing a high-end narrow-sleeved samurai uniform, with a long knife on his waist, and his hair was knotted into sideburns, looking like he was only about eighteen years old, but it was different from the high-end clothes, but his face was full of dust, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you, master, who are you?"

"Sasaki Kojiro!" the ronin said casually, silently looking around: "You are familiar with this town, take me over, and I will give you fifty wen!"

The little merchant was shocked and rejoiced, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord, where are you going?"

Fifty wen is enough to offset the loss of broken pottery.

"Go to the clothing store first, buy a new set of clothes, and then lead me to an inn. ”

"Hey, Samurai-sama, please!"

The town is not big, and there is a clothing store not far away, leading into the clothing store and slapping a piece of silver judgment on the table.

"Boss, a muslin robe!" said Kojiro Sasaki.

"Hey, a muslin samurai suit, what color do you use?" The boss heard the sound of copper coins hitting the table, and immediately ran over, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Crimson!"

"Yes, please wait!" But in a moment, a set of crimson samurai robes was taken out by the boss, with a smile on his face: "Do you want to see the fit?"

The boss's eyes were poisonous, and Kojiro Sasaki took it and tried it, and walked out after a while, but it fit very well.

"It fits perfectly, and there are other colors, you can take a look!" said the boss.

"That's it, it's not bad, it fits, and I like the color. Kojiro Sasaki said, "Give me another set of straw sandals." ”

In Fuso, even ordinary samurai wore straw sandals, except for high-ranking samurai and daimyos, not to mention untouchables and merchants.

"Hey, a total of three hundred and fifty wen, this is the remaining money!" the boss handed over the money and said.

At this moment, a young girl ran in, her face was red, obviously rushed over, her straw shoes were wet, she came in and bowed and said, "Boss, the customers in the store want five pairs of new straw sandals!"

"Oh, it's Keiko, I'll give it to you!" said the boss, who knew each other.

Seeing the situation, Sasaki Kojiro only smiled slightly, and was about to go out, but the two of them were staggered, but they couldn't help but be shocked.

The jade talisman in his arms emitted a burst of light and heat, faintly emitting, if it wasn't for the clothes to block it, it would have been seen long ago.

Sasaki Kojiro's heart was full of waves, and the lord sent a message that he wanted to marry a Fuso woman for his younger brother, and if he could make the jade pendant shine, he would be qualified.

The words of the lord were kept in mind, but he had only traveled for half a year, but he had seen countless women, but none of them could be lit up, so he calmed down and looked at it.

The girl looked fifteen or sixteen years old, with fine black long hair and a beautiful face, but she didn't look very well-off, and felt a little malnourished.

"Whose family is this?" asked Kojiro Sasaki, "If you make her clear, I'll give you the money!"

"This is Keiko, the daughter of the owner of the inn in the town, the Takaishi family, and I was about to take you to live in this shop!" said the merchant.

"What about your family background, you don't look like an ordinary person!"

"I heard that the ancestor is still a descendant of the Kurokawa family and the minister, but now he is in the town. The merchant said, and led him forward, and soon came to the inn.

The inn was large, but somewhat old, with a few mossy wooden huts lined to the right and left of the stone-covered road, but the smell of dinner was in the air.

At this time, a woman's voice came from a wooden house: "You leave us alone, and you still have the face to come back?"

With the sound of scolding, a plate flew out and shattered to the ground, and a man of about fifty rushed out of the door, at which time a woman rushed out and shouted: "You dead old man, where are you going?"

As he spoke, he grabbed and beat him with a bang, and the girl hurried over: "Mother, don't fight." ”

When Sasaki Kojiro saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the businessman was a little embarrassed: "Takaishi likes to gamble and drink, and has lost a lot, and this store is still maintained by his wife." ”

Sasaki Kojiro listened to it, but he liked it, he knew deeply that gamblers and drunkards have no reason, as long as they have money!

"Ronin! this ronin!" Sasaki Kojiro was thinking when he heard someone shouting, and when he turned his head to see that the fight was over, the woman asked in a voice full of anger, "Do you want to stay in the hotel?"

"Yes. ”

"Thanks, please come in!"

Sasaki Kojiro casually handed over the fifty wen to the small businessman, and said, "Don't go first, I still have some trouble for you!"

The small merchant responded: "Hey!"

As the woman turned, she approached a wooden house, which was still clean and clean against the sun, and took off her hat.

Although his own path is on the sword, in this turbulent era, the era of the Kurokawa shogunate has passed, war has become the theme, and the world is too far away, but the dream of making the Omada family the lord of one city and one country is very suitable.

Sasaki Kojiro pondered that the will of the lord must be fulfilled, and thinking of this, he said to the small businessman, "You go, the boss calls, and I will talk to him." ”

After a while, I saw this boss who was over 50 years old come in and asked, "What are you looking for me?"

Kojiro Sasaki called, "Boss, come, I'll invite you to drink." ”

As he spoke, he said to the little merchant, "Bring me a bottle of wine!"

Having left the money, the little merchant immediately ran over to take it, and then withdrew, indicating that there was something to discuss.

"Have a drink. Kojiro Sasaki raised the bottle and toasted to the boss.

"Thank you!"

Kojiro Sasaki poured him a drink, waited to see him toast, and said, "Boss!"

"Yes!"

"To be honest, I have something to discuss, my lord commanded me to find a good daughter to marry my younger brother, and now I have found it, it is your daughter!"

"Ahh

Kojiro Sasaki took a sip of wine, but ignored it, and continued: "Do you want to know the dowry that the lord of my family is willing to give?"

"Ah...... How much is that, please?" the boss asked, hesitantly.

"The lord of my family will give a dowry of one hundred times to hire your daughter!"

"Ahh

"Shut up, why did you sell your daughter!" At this moment, the paper door opened, and the woman seemed to have been listening outside for a long time, and then came in and roared.

Sasaki Kojiro put the cup on the table: "The lord of my family is the governor of the Omada family, who has a territory of 5,000 stones, has tens of thousands of dollars, and has another 5,000 stones in Middle-earth. ”

"Your daughter is here, but she is just a drinking lady, even if it is out of the heart of her parents, don't you want your daughter to get out of this difficult situation?"

As he spoke, he threw down a bag: "Here is the golden judgment, worth a hundred yuan!"

The boss was silent for a long time, but he leaned down and kowtowed two or three times in a row: "Ah, I understand, samurai, you can take Keiko with you, I don't need a dowry, I just need my daughter to be able to live here." ”

Seeing that the woman was about to stop, the boss hissed and shouted, "Do you want your daughter to be like us?"

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and tears splashed down.

"Understood, but please accept the dowry!" At this time, Kojiro Sasaki fell to the ground with his hands and kowtowed.
