"Then, according to the original plan, the ronin will be organized into a team, which will be mixed with trustworthy people as supervisors, and put them on patrol outside the village. By that Ming countryman, Lan En as the leader. ”

Kuro said cautiously.

This was their way of using the ronin, and most of the Hirata clan's own combat power had to be sent to the frontal battlefield to assist the Ashina family against the inner house.

And even if the ronins who are thrown outside the village mutiny, they are not a threat in terms of intelligence and destructive power. And they can really help in defensive battles.

"Understood, I'll inform Gensai-sama Nogami of your arrangements later."

Madame Butterfly nodded, indicating that she had received instructions.

"But what about the Overseer?"

"What about Inosuke?"

After thinking for a while, Kuro said tentatively. But Madame Butterfly frowned.

"That is your chamberlain, who will guard your safety at critical moments. It's unwise to be sent outside the estate. ”

Jiurou smiled and waved his hand.

"It's okay, I've got a wolf by my side."

As soon as the word 'wolf' appeared from Kuro's mouth, a not-so-tall figure appeared in the shadows behind his seat.

About one meter seven, the height of an ordinary samurai. Orange blouse with short ponytail.

He respectfully half-knelt on the ground and raised his head slightly.

The indifference and indifference in those eyes are the same as Madame Butterfly and the burly owl.

This is also a ninja, and a ninja who specializes in guarding his master.

That is, he is the best of the best.

However, the burly ninja in the room interrupted at this time.

"Miko-sama, wolves have other uses. Now that the Inner Mansion is about to move, the ninjas on the other side must have infiltrated this side. I'm going to send the wolves around to find out what's going on. ”

The burly ninja sat cross-legged, his hands in fists, propping up the ground on his sides, and bowing slightly.

"Please understand, most of the ninja people I am in charge of, the Eagle Sect, have been sent to the frontal battlefield, and only two or three people who are not in the climate around me are left to fight. And the work of probing the surroundings is not feasible without being elite. ”

With that, Xiao raised his head slightly, looking at Miko and the wolf behind him.

"The appointment cannot be changed lightly, and it has come to this. Hiratano only has the three of old decay, butterfly and wolf can be called forbearance. Now only the wolf's position can be transferred. ”

"I'm confident in him that the wolf is good enough to keep an eye on the ronin while carrying out the reconnaissance mission."

As the object of discussion, the wolf's gaze is always lowered. It's like just a tool waiting to be used, and after confirming the user's wishes, it will be executed without compromise.

And what the user's wishes are, and what are the thoughts in it, are not his concerns.

"I see."

Miko pursed her lips and nodded with difficulty. He knew that the Inner Mansion Army was powerful, but now he had a real feeling.

An attack that is not big or small for the Inner Army, and Ashina is going to be nervous to this point.

A ninja team may be sent on the other side, and the eagles will have to be poured out of the nest to maintain the equality of the number of ninjas in the frontal battlefield, so that even the ninjas of the Hirata clan are not enough.

"Then, recall Inosuke and let the wolf complete the mission, and by the way, monitor the ronin team."

Miko revised her orders.

And the wolf, after the master's order, accepted it without hesitation,

"Yes."

Detecting enemy ninja infiltration represents a thrilling battle between ninjas, while at the same time taking care of the surveillance of a group of ronin patrols. The ninja named [Wolf] did not have any psychological fluctuations about this, and all he wanted was to complete the task.

——

As night fell, the interior of Hirata began to light up with a starting point of fire.

In ancient times, fuel was a valuable resource.

Therefore, among the castle towns inhabited by civilians, there is only one longhouse still shrouded in light. The vulgar shouts were incessant.

Rann lives with a group of ronins in the longhouse, which will serve as a settlement base for the ronin group during their employment with the Hirata clan.

When the night is not yet dark, the host promises to deliver the 'live chickens' that have been rewarded.

Originally, when Lan En heard that Nogami Gensai only rewarded a live chicken, he wondered if the ancient Dongying was really lacking in resources, or the family style of the Hirata clan was not very generous.

A live chicken, fed to a total of thirty men who lick the blood with knife heads. One piece of meat per person is not enough?

But it wasn't until the reward of the Hirata clan and the appointment of him that the corners of his mouth twitched, and he realized the gold content of the 'other world'.

Raise your neck, it's a chicken with a meter seven!

Is this a poultry that can be counted as 'only'? This is obviously about the 'head'!

A chicken!

The chicken looked to be more robust than most civilians, with dark feathers and a bright red comb on its head. The skeleton and biological traits look like ordinary poultry, but this size is extraordinary.

At a cursory glance, there are hundreds of catties, and ordinary sheep do not have this physique.

"There's definitely something wrong with this place!"

Lan En was now sitting in the main hall of the longhouse, with a piece of roasted chicken thigh in his hand. He looked left and right, hesitating whether to eat or not.

His prowess was proven in front of everyone, and Hirata's appointment gave him an official guarantee. He sat in the main seat, and most of the people had no opinion.

But most of the meaning is that. Some people don't think so.

Lan En looked around with a plate in the bustling longhouse, and finally ate the piece of chicken thigh.

After all, these reed-named locals have multiplied for dozens of generations, and each generation eats and uses local water and soil, which seems normal.

And this big chicken is really fragrant. It is fragrant and tender, rich in oil, and not firewood at all.

And while Lan En was slowly chewing on the chicken, Kotaro bent over to his side and reserved him food.

It was the same Kotaro who led him to Hiratano.

The Hirata clan will not let the ronins act alone, and few masters will fully trust the ronin group with a worrying bottom line.

The Hirata clan seemed to think that Kotaro and Lan En were familiar with each other, so they organized dozens of Ashigaru including him into Lan En's ronin group, and gathered fifty people to come out.

"My lord, Heihachiro's group of small people just saw that they didn't look at you well!"

Kotaro looked around very obscenely, and said in a low voice to Lanen, as if revealing a huge secret.

And Lan En took the multigrain rice that he had added, and thanked him first.

"Thank you, Kotaro said, can you not call yourself 'small'? It makes me feel awkward! ”

"It's not. My lord! Kotaro was shocked that at this time, Lan En was actually entangled in such a trivial matter, this is because some of his subordinates are not kind to the position of the leader!

Rann continued to savor the sturdy chicken.

It's noisy in the longhouse, and the ronins aren't good people.

But this noise was not enough for Lan En to ignore the sound that was about five meters away.

He continued to pull the chicken and whispered very calmly.

"A group of fox friends and dog friends can't see the fact that outsiders are officials, which I can understand. But."

"If you want to take advantage of the chaos to kill me and take my sword, where did you get the courage?"

Kotaro shuddered unconsciously, and in the moment just now, he looked at the cat's eyes.

Ask for recommendations! Ask for a commuter pass! Ask for a subscription!

Thanks for the 1500 points of the monster!
