197. Ming people, Nanban
The place where the ronins live doesn't surprise Lane.
To put it bluntly, the group of 'ronin' itself carries attributes such as mercenaries and vagabonds.
Originally a farmer, there are many people who have tasted the sweetness of violence during the war, and then can't put down their swords. These guys who have more or less mental problems and like to exchange blood for money are the main body of the 'ronin'.
When there was a war, these people would be hired by the wealthy landlords, but no one would really feel at ease with them.
In the center of the ancient castle of Toei, the lord and the samurai were generally inhabited. Then, due to the concentration of the economy, ordinary people gather in the periphery, and it is called 'castle town'.
It's normal for ronins to be placed here.
The thin wooden door was pushed open by him after being informed by the leading soldiers.
Suddenly, a bad smell came out.
The smell of sweat and the smell of blood, and the smell of some alcoholAlthough Lan, who had lived in King's Landing for a while, could stand it completely, the psychological discomfort still made him frown.
Walking into the small courtyard in front of the longhouse, you can see many disheveled men sitting or lying undisciplined, scattered in various parts of the longhouse.
Most of their bodies have a layer of black skin made of sweat and dust, and it is estimated that they can turn into mud pills when they rub them with their hands.
With their respective katanas in their arms and waists, even though it was already autumn, there were still insects flying around the knives that were interested in the smell.
That's where the smell of blood comes from.
Ran's summary of the 'ronin' is correct, most of these people are farmers who have eaten this bowl of rice, and they think that the battle only needs to be fierce and vicious.
But he didn't even have any idea how to take care of his sword.
It's just a bunch of laymen who can cut people.
And in the middle of these people, in the middle of the hall of the longhouse, a young samurai was sitting on his knees with his eyes closed.
Although it was a quiet and meditative appearance, Lan En looked at his gritted teeth and the hand on his thigh clenched into a fist, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he was out of sight and out of mind.
Dressed in a blue and white swordsman suit, the head of the samurai is shaved on his head.
Whether it is from appearance or cultivation, Lan En is sure that this person is the 'Nogami Inosuke' in the soldier's mouth.
At this time, the young warrior didn't even open his eyes, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Is it another ronin coming to take refuge? Let him go, Lord Nogami Gensai has instructed that today I will stop taking in the ronin, and I should return to the young master."
But before Nogami Inosuke could finish speaking, the soldier who led Lan En into the door trotted up the steps, took off his shoes and stepped on the wooden floor, and reached the samurai's side and whispered.
"But, Inosuke-sama, this ronin he. He's a little different! ”
Although a soldier who gets a salary seems to be nosy, who made Lan En really good-looking?
Whoever is male or female, will have a bad feeling for a good-looking person?
What's more, Lan En was not arrogant or vicious at all along the way, and his polite conversation with a little soldier was something he had never felt in his life!
Naturally, I will say a few kind words.
Inokami Inosuke opened his eyes impatiently, and immediately saw the exotic shape of the long sword in the soldier's arms, which was exquisite and gorgeous.
Strange, are there really any ronins who will take the initiative to unarm?
Driven by this curiosity, Inokami Inosuke, who had long been fed up with the ronin, turned his gaze to the door.
“.”
The young samurai's mouth slowly opened, and his eyes blinked.
Tall figures, handsome faces, silver hair, exotic armor and swords! He can't handle it!
Instead, Lan En was now leaning against the closed wooden door, his hands clasped to his chest.
After noticing Nogami Inosuke's gaze, he raised one hand and said hello.
"Lan En, a native of the Ming Kingdom, studied art in Nanban, and came to the Hirata clan today to find an errand."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence at first, and then the chatter like a fly buzzing suddenly erupted in the longhouse.
The self-introduction is only a few words, but it is these few words that make people confused.
'Nanban' in ancient times referred to Europeans. Because they mostly landed in the south of Dongying by boat, they were thought to be barbarians from the south.
Lan En heard from Kotaro's mouth on the road that he was now the tail of Toei's Warring States Period.
In addition to the name of the reed, the inner army has made the world subjugated.
From this, Lan En felt that this 'inner house' might be a otherworldly version of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He deliberately said that his experience was full of slots, which can be called fantasy. After crossing the Eurasian continent, I turned around and walked again.
Because the Inner Government Army wants to arrange internal response in the Reed Country, it should be unlikely that such a conspicuous guy will come out.
Therefore, the more conspicuous it is, the more it can be trusted.
For example, Inokami Inosuke in front of him, although he was stunned, he never doubted whether the person in front of him was a spy.
Whose spy chief doesn't cover his face like this?!
Who can't take a look twice on the street, and if they can't carry out their work?!
The young samurai's brain was running out of energy, and his hands that were originally upright subconsciously scratched his neck.
"Ah, in fact, today hasn't passed yet, and you can be regarded as a ronin who arrived today."
Inokami Inosuke even subconsciously used honorifics.
He stood up and walked down the front steps of the room.
Lan En's originally calm eyes widened slightly, and the moment the other party got up, Mentos had already measured the other party's height.
One hundred and seventy centimeters.
The height of the samurai is even more exaggerated than that of ordinary Toei of the same period.
There must be something special in this world that is making an impact.
Inosuke walked up to Lan En and looked up at the witcher.
Is this a Ming person? It's like a general.
Marveling in his heart, the young samurai was also organizing the wording.
Although the Hirata clan is recruiting ronin, it is not all at once, and there will definitely be spies in that way.
They still did a basic background check.
People in this era may never go out to the boundaries of ten miles and eight towns in their lives, and the relationship between them is very good.
But the person in front of him who has a 'Ming Kingdom' and a 'Southern Barbarian' in his mouth. Where can I find this?
But to say that it would be too wasteful to push out this obviously powerful combat power in this tense time.
"Excuse me. How did you get into Ashina? ”
Inosuke thought to himself, it's too far to find out, there should always be traces when you come over.
But Lann is not immersed in fire and water.
"I traveled through the mountains after entering Dongying, I was not familiar with the place, and I was fascinated and came in, and it happened that Chen Bing of the Inner Government Army was outside, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to, so I could only come to the Hirata clan."
Okay, that means no one knows how you got into Ashina.
But there is nothing wrong with this statement, the reeds are steep and difficult to attack for the military.
With a large number of troops and supplies, it is difficult to get in.
But if you're alone, you're skilled, and you're lucky, you might come in without feeling.
At this time, the ronins were also attracted by the fresh 'elements' that popped out of Lan En's body, and they all lay on the floor of the longhouse door, watching what else was lively.
And at this moment, another announcement came from the wooden door behind Lan En.
"Inosuke-sama, Nogami Gensai-sama has a life! Bring all the ronins to his house, and he will personally inspect them. ”
Inokami Inosuke breathed a sigh of relief.
