Although the ronins say that they are wandering the world, the range of activities is not very far, and most of them are wandering around the country, so it is not uncommon to know each other.

If you know each other, you will hold a group, while the weak will mistakenly think that you have become a strong person after you have a group, and you will have a greed that does not match your strength.

Anyone with a little discernment knows very well that all the assets of all the people in the entire longhouse may not add up to the sword on Lan's back.

Ronin fight and kill for money, and they are not samurai who can be loyal to others, what kind of loyalty and faithfulness do they talk about?

So the resentment that his group was not valued by the master's family, coupled with the greed for the sword and money, this group of ronins gathered by Heihachiro, the ferocity in his eyes could be seen even by Kotaro.

After a casual eye contact with Lan En, Kotaro, a guy who looks quite obscene, but is actually not a bad person, didn't have much to remind.

Not only is he not a bad person, but he is also not stupid.

The Hirata's tight manpower made it impossible for the Ronin group to rest even after the reward they had formed on the first day.

Lann needs to schedule the patrols now, and then work in shifts.

These things can be very troublesome for these ronin, who are not educated and mostly have no leadership experience.

But in Lann's memory, his 'predecessors' even coordinated the transfer of supplies for an entire galaxy.

It's as easy for him as a math problem in elementary school.

But now, he doesn't just want to get the job done, he wants to solve the troubles.

The sound of armor clashing against each other sounded, and Lan rose from the wooden floor. The movement made everyone look at him in unison.

The witcher had a gentle smile on his face, "Today is the first day of our work, and I'm here to set an example." The members of tonight's patrol are me, Heihachiro, and others. After today, it will be carried out according to the schedule. Above. ”

"Oh!!"

The unnamed ronin cheered, knelt on the ground and bowed in Lan's direction.

The reason why the story of the generals who took the lead has been sung for so long is because it is rare enough.

The ronin are obsessed with the position of the leader, because in their concept, the leader should eat better and rest more than the team members.

Someone like Lan En had really never seen one in their careers.

And Heihachiro's group of seven people, who were all called by name, looked suspicious at first, and after hearing that there were no extra manpower except for himself and Lan En in the end of the list. They laughed and stood up.

Swaggered ahead of Lanne.

Suddenly, everyone's faces became delicate.

This group of ronins can also feel the hostility of Heihachiro and his gang towards the leader at this time.

A few people even frowned and opened their mouths to say something, but in the end, everyone just looked at it and didn't speak.

Only Lan En, as if he didn't feel anything, followed them with the slightest change in his expression, and walked towards the gate of Hiragaso.

"Hey, you're going to be in trouble. Don't you say something? ”

After the group went out, a ronin talked to Kotaro with a playful smile.

But then, Kotaro shook his head indifferently. "My lord, don't tease me, everyone is a group, why are you suffering."

The ronin looked like a fool, glanced at Kotaro and prepared to turn around and lie down to sleep.

But behind him, Kotaro looked at him the same way he did.

By the time Lan En followed the footsteps of Heihachiro's group in front of them, they were stopped by the guards at the gate of Hiratano.

It wasn't until Lan En stepped forward and gave the credentials that came with the appointment of the position that it was passed.

Among the gate guards was a soldier wearing a hat and a cloak to protect against the cold dew of the night. He held on to the brim of his hat and looked up at the arrogant Heihachiro standing in front of him.

He turned his head to look at Lan En, who gave the certificate, and sneered.

"It's too big a fuss to end it."

Lann just shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.

Then the hated soldier waved back and opened the door.

The sound of the 'whooshing' water of the Longquan River gradually became clearer, and Lan En's group of eight people did not cross the wooden bridge at the door, but patrolled upstream along the side where Hirata Village was located.

The soldiers guarding the gate watched as their torches grew farther and smaller in the darkness.

"I say, Kumi-head," a ashigaru asked, tilting his head in the direction of the hat-man, "what did you mean by talking to that little white face just now?" Obviously, those people are trying to trouble him, right? ”

The leader of the group looked at his subordinates with some surprise.

"Good, you've got a bit of eyesight now."

Ashigaru let out a smirk, and the next moment, the head of the group slapped him on the head.

"Smack - but what's the use of just having eyesight? Can eyesight kill? Let you practice more swordsmanship, you just won't listen! The footsteps of those seven people just now were so loose that even you could hear them. But before that silver-haired guy came out of the darkness on his own, did you feel like there was someone in that place?! ”

After saying that, the head of the group with the hat turned around and looked at the darkness where the flame was no longer visible.

"If you cut people for a living, but you can't even see who you are."

"You deserve to die."

Patrolling upstream along the Yongquan River, the river can even appear to have good visibility when the moon is not covered by dark clouds.

As the group walked, the woods grew thicker and the terrain became steeper.

The few people who walked in front of Lan En slowly stopped in tacit understanding.

Lan En also naturally looked back in the direction of Hira-sangso, the fixed torches placed at the gate, the light was completely invisible at this distance.

Now, apart from the torches in the hands of a few people, and the moonlight on their heads, there is no extra light source.

It's a great place to run errands and hide secrets.

Heihachiro's footsteps moved slowly, surrounding Lan En in the middle, each drawing a katana from his waist.

After staying away from Hiratano, the death of a person can be blamed on the accidental, damned Inner Army.

Several people had a sinister smile on their faces.

It's just a little ghost with a strange background, and no one has ever beaten the samurai of the Hirata family, so why is he a little more powerful in the eyes of adults? Isn't it just good-looking?

Heihachiro himself, who was the leader, even grinned a mouthful of big yellow teeth in the firelight. The eyes that stared straight at the hilt of the sword behind Lan En almost glowed.

"You!"

Under the playful gaze of everyone, the sword of the Lake Maiden that Lan En was originally carrying on his back was already unsheathed, and he didn't know when, it was placed at his side.

It's like you've just slashed.

No! It wasn't 'like'. he had literally swung a sword right in front of everyone's eyes!

Heihachiro, the man who had never spoken to Lan En from beginning to end, had a bloody mouth blooming out of his neck in front of everyone's eyes.

Then, blood red gushed out!

The faint laughter of the ronins just now stopped abruptly at this time, like ducks being choked by the neck.

"For the record, you wouldn't have thought" In the night, the witcher slowly looked up, his eyes glowing slightly.

"I'm a very well-behaved young man, don't I, fellow 'colleagues'?"
