Failing to handle affairs in full view of the public can have an impact on the reputation of the samurai.

During the Warring States Period, the management power that was originally subordinate to the ministers had long been scattered among the samurai, and a samurai should not only be able to fight, but also need to be wise.

The head of the family's guards, Nogami Gensai's order can be regarded as saving Nogami Inosuke.

"Your situation is just the right time to report to Lord Nogami Gensai in person this time. Alright guys! Let's get ready to meet the adults! ”

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Ran, and the second half of the sentence was that the young samurai turned around and cheered at the ronin gathered in the longhouse to watch the excitement.

As soon as the ronin heard about food and wages, it was only natural that they would put aside the excitement in front of them.

Shouting in a noisy, he grabbed his weapon and ran out the door.

The soldier who led the way also returned Arondette to Lan En at this time under the gaze of Inogami Inosuke.

When Inosuke was running past ordinary ronin, his face could not hide his helplessness and disgust.

Toei's class division is obvious and strict, and the samurai don't look down on ronin, but they want to use ronin. There will always be this tangled psychology.

This has nothing to do with whether a specific person is snobbish or not, but has something to do with the social atmosphere.

But when facing Lan En, Inokami Inosuke's face was obviously much more serious.

Whether it is a 'Ming Guoren', a 'Nanban', or a simple figure, Lan En has the conditions for him to maintain respect.

"You haven't been officially hired yet, and returning the equipment is a stopgap measure to deal with the assessment, so I'll follow you."

The words are not finished, but the smart ones can understand what is next.

If there are signs of misdeeds, then the two people who are polite and talking to each other now will face each other in the next moment.

Luckily, Lan didn't have that idea.

"Please."

Politely and thoughtfully, he stretched out his hand to the side, and two figures with a painting style that was obviously different from ordinary ronin, followed behind the chaotic group of people, and walked towards the courtyard in the center of Hira-sangso.

At the time of the castle town, the atmosphere of war was not so strong, after all, the civilians were still roaming the market, doing their own work and earning their own rations.

But after entering the real estate of the Hirata clan from the castle town, the atmosphere of tension and solemnity suddenly became stronger.

Soldiers dressed like soldiers at the gate were running around and transporting supplies, armed with katanas at their waists or carrying cold-lit spears on their shoulders.

Lan Eun walked down the road with Inokami Inokami without squinting, but he already caught the smell of gunpowder in his nose.

Presumably, in the boxes carried by these soldiers, there were not a few things such as muskets and projectiles.

Because of the earthquake in Toei, most of the houses are made of wood, so the number of floors of the houses in Hirata is not high, but the area is large.

The ups and downs of the road are mostly due to the difference in elevation of the terrain itself.

The ronins did not enter the inner part of the manor, but chose a place to gather in an independent courtyard that resembled a small grid.

Even if it is the surface structure of the manor, the Hirata family does not want to let the ronin easily see it.

Neither Len nor the ronin have any objection to this, which is the most basic preparation for being a semi-military organization.

And they themselves have long been prepared not to be completely trusted, and those who take money to do things can only be treated with money.

When Lan En and the others walked to the independent courtyard, an old but still loud voice was lecturing.

"It's useless to talk more, today is just to check whether your skills are worthy of the worship of the Hirata clan! The weak cut, the strong get more, up and down, the same is true! ”

The ronin don't have a lot of culture, and the temper of the speaker doesn't sound like he can explain much.

But when the ronin whispered to each other, the meaning of the words was almost clear.

If you want to mobilize manpower efficiently, you still need to have an organizational framework to do things.

If the ronins are not trusted, then simply let the ronins decide their own level and form a queue. Then the family is responsible for the leadership, simple and clear.

In this way, even if the ronin mutinied en masse, it would only be a team, and it would not affect the other military forces of the Hirata family.

It wasn't until Lan and Inosuke entered the door that he saw the person who had just shouted.

He was indeed an old man, in his fifties, who could be called a long life in troubled times.

Lan En squinted slightly, observing the muscle structure of the trainer.

Judging from the bare neck of his haori sleeves, his skin was wrinkled and accumulated, but his thin body still maintained a distinctly fibrous muscular layer.

As a result, he was on the corner of his bare collarbone, the loose skin of his body pulled by the wizened muscles, like a horrific scar.

- This is obviously not a normal human muscle structure!

How can there be normal human beings who do not loosen their muscles and have loose skin when they are old?

This old gentleman is only about strength, and it is estimated that he can directly pierce a wild boar horizontally with a sword stabbed out!

Beside Lan En, Nogami Inosuke smiled and whispered to him: "That's Lord Nogami Gensai, the chief of the Hirata clan's guard, thirty years ago, he was a famous reed!" ”

Lan En didn't care too much about the information in Inosuke's transformation, what he cared about was Inosuke's attitude when he talked about this person.

This young samurai obviously didn't think there was anything special about Nogami Gensai's body, that is.

Is this abnormal body structure universal?

Or rather, at least in Reed's name?

The witcher responded politely: "I've admired the name for a long time." ”

Inosuke smiled at this, and both of them knew that Lan En had some 'long-admired daimyo' when he first arrived. But the fact that this kind of unspoken hype can be picked up once again shows that Lan En is not an ordinary mud leg.

The credibility of the witcher's claims has increased considerably.

The serious Nogami Gensai, his eyes swept over the many ronins. As he passed by Lan En and Inokami Inosuke, his brows suddenly tightened. Then the camera didn't move anymore, staring at the tall figure with a wary look in his eyes.

He stared at Lan En deadly, but shouted on his lips, "Inosuke! You come to be the examiner, and you are limited to ten moves. If you can't pass ten moves, you don't have to stay, and after ten moves, discuss the level of treatment. ”

The young warrior beside Lan En immediately bowed slightly, "Yes!" ”

Then he whispered to the witcher beside him, "Please forgive me, Gensai-sama Nogami has always had a cautious and serious personality, and your appearance is a little too outstanding." ”

Lan En shrugged, "Totally understood. ”

After the young samurai explained, as he walked from the back of the crowd to the front, he had already pulled a rope from his bosom, put a slightly wide sleeve on his swordsman's suit, and used the rope to reach his elbow, and tied the corners of the sleeve under his armpit, and became a capable swordsman.

With the sound of steel grinding, the katana slowly unsheathed. The sunlight reflected off the knife, making it look cold and sharp.

Inosuke bowed slightly towards the crowd, and his face became fierce.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please teach them one by one."
