Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Whirlwind Thieves (I)
Everyone who heard the news was furious, what a damn thing! The grain had just been harvested, and before it could be sold for money, a group of thieves came to the door? This is too arrogant, isn't it? I don't know that we have sixty or seventy samurai here?!
Seeing that everyone was in a rage and shouting to destroy those thieves, Bei Saburo hurriedly shouted loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's Whirlwind Santaro's thief group!"
The samurai who followed Shen Fei were only stunned for a moment, while the samurai from the fishing village and the tree village exclaimed in unison: "What? It's actually Whirlwind Santaro?!"
"There's no need to panic, sit down, Bei Saburo, what's going on with this whirlwind Santaro?" Shen Fei said indifferently, Shen Fei's ticket was worthy of being a lineage, and he immediately returned to his original kneeling appearance. Only the Fishing Village, Tree Village, and Bei Saburo were still standing.
"Yes, Lord Lord, this Whirlwind Santaro is a powerful thief, the most powerful thief in this large area, and even the Riverside Hall can not be provoked. Bei Saburo hurriedly knelt down to report.
"Impossible! How can a thief have power?! This is absolutely impossible!" The samurai couldn't help but roar again, the thieves were all inferior, that is, a little more awesome than those ninjas who were not seen! After all, if these thieves rose up, killed the local lords, and let the superior warriors acquiesce to their existence, then such thieves would immediately become local tyrants.
But even so, it is impossible for thieves to have power, because with this money, it is not impossible to bribe the important ministers of the samurai family and become a low-level samurai! Since you can be a low-level samurai, who is going to be a thief! You must know that thieves are the mortal enemies of almost all lords, and because this thief is strong and can destroy the lord and replace him, all lords are eager to kill all the thieves in their own territory!
A little bit of brains, all looted a large amount of money, and immediately disbanded the team. Then run away to become a samurai, no thief will make himself famous! Not to mention that he will become a thief after having power, and he can get the samurai qualification if he takes refuge in any company with power!
"No, he didn't have power after becoming a thief, but he became a thief with power, it is said that this Whirlwind Santaro is a wandering samurai who lost the battle from Tokai County, and he doesn't know how not to look for a samurai to serve, but instead gathers people and horses to become a thief group, his whirlwind thief group has been raging in this land for almost ten years! He will take advantage of the fire to loot and attack the forces of Tokai County at will, and he will also loot the villages on our side at will, he is simply a big thief who is an enemy on both sides but still gets a good job!" shouted Bei Saburo in horror.
"That's true, lord, it seems that this whirlwind Santaro is eyeing our Fengyuan family. The boatman Taro said with a stern face.
"Bastard, our Fengyuan family has just started, why don't we attack Linhe Village!" said Saburo Kigen angrily as he banged the floor.
"It's because our Fengyuan family has just started, that's why it's aimed at us, there are powerful warriors in Linhe Village. Our Fengyuan family doesn't have it yet, so the persimmon is looking for a soft pinch!" the other samurai sighed.
As soon as these words came out, the samurai present were all sad and indignant, and they were not people who had never seen the world. On the contrary, there are too many people in the world, because the worst ones are also the guys who have been in the castle town for several years, and the good ones have wandered through several countries. I've never seen anything, I've never heard of anything.
So they know very well, don't look at the sixty or seventy samurai on their side. There are also hundreds of young people, if they encounter more than a thousand foot light, they also dare to fight and kill, in order to protect their property and land from infringement. But in the face of a thief with power, everyone wilted.
There's no way, they don't need any high-level power, it's the power of the popular product "One Knife Slash", you can easily cut off dozens of warriors with a few knives, such a desperate comparison of combat power, how can they have the ability to resist?
"Who said that our Fengyuan family doesn't have powerful warriors?" asked Shen Fei very calmly.
"Huh?!" Everyone looked at Shen Fei in unison, and some sensitive guys naturally immediately noticed that Shen Fei was different, which was an indescribable feeling, but it could clearly distinguish between a samurai with power and a samurai without power, which belonged to an animal's instinctive reaction to discerning powerful things.
"Lord, have you learned your powers?!" the boatman Taro shouted excitedly, and everyone reacted, all of them looked at Shen Fei in surprise. Whether a samurai has a powerful samurai or not is one thing, and whether there is a powerful samurai is another.
Let's put it this way, if there is no powerful warrior, then you can only be a local tyrant for the rest of your life, and even die on the battlefield, and it is possible that Zhixing will be canceled. The main family doesn't need to care about this kind of family without powerful warriors at all. And with power, then at least you can ensure that your family business can be passed on, if you are careful in your calculations, or if you have great military achievements, you only need the next generation to have powerful warriors, then it is easy for this family to be passed on for a hundred years. However, the power is not strong enough, and naturally it is at most the appearance of a village head, just like the riverside palace.
Naturally, there is no need to say that it is not impossible for people in the world to become the little daimyo of Wanshi, the daimyo of the township, the county guard, the lord of the country, and even the overlord! So it is no wonder that these people are all so surprised when they know that Shen Fei has power. Because it turned out that when Shen Fei had no power, they could only aspire to become a warrior and have their own knowledge and deeds, and it was impossible to have a family name to pass it on.
And now that Shen Fei has the power, hehe, it is no longer a luxury to pursue the name of the Hundred Stone Warrior Family! Even if he is lucky, if his own lord goes against the sky, he will dare to become a local tyrant who knows how to do a thousand stones. As for the head of the village or something, I don't dare to think about it.
"Of course, otherwise, what do you think I ran out for more than ten days on the day of the autumn harvest? Isn't it just to learn power as soon as possible and prevent such things from happening?" Shen Fei said very indifferently, now that he has power, he naturally dares to say in front of these retainers of his own that the last time he left the territory, he was not to visit Yamada City, but to learn power.
Before there was power, if Shen Fei dared to say this, the retainers would definitely ask Shen Fei where he got the money, but he would not ask where the money came from. They will also insist on sending someone to follow Shen Fei. It's not that they're arrogant, it's that they treat themselves as retainers of the Fengyuan family to behave like this. In this world, the lord and retainer of a martial arts family, the perfect state is that the lord is the head of the family, and the retainer is the family member, all of them are one and the same, and everything is discussed, and there is no need to hide it.
Of course, after an unknown number of years of war, this ideal realm pursued by the samurai has long since ceased to exist. But the retainers still subconsciously think about the main interests of the main family. That's right, not for the lord, but for the lord's family. For example, if Shen Fei did something that harmed the interests of the Fengyuan family, that is, the interests of all the retainers, the retainers would swear to stop it. Of course, this is when Shen Fei has an heir, and Shen Fei is also inheriting the Fengyuan family. In a situation like this Fengyuan family, which was founded by Shen Fei, this kind of thing naturally cannot happen.
And it was said earlier that the retainers would follow Shen Fei to learn power, not to follow it. It's not that I want to restrict Shen Fei, but I'm afraid that Shen Fei will have an accident, after all, to learn power, everyone knows that it is impossible to learn without a few hundred. Flying with God is to protect these hundreds of dollars!
It's just that Shen Fei, who didn't have the power on his body at that time, where did he want them to follow? Wouldn't that expose his golden finger? And now that he has power, as long as he doesn't do it so straightforwardly, such as directly conjuring up materials in front of them, he will turn his hand through the warehouse. Shen Fei is not afraid that they will suspect anything, with his power, he will definitely make his subordinates dare not talk too much. If you have any questions, you will be hidden.
This is also one of the reasons why Mao Shenfei was alone and spent more than ten days running to the commercial port to learn Vaillant. The main thing is, of course, not to let the Yamada family know their details!
"It's just my lord, your power has just been learned, and it is up to your subordinates to block the invasion of the thieves, so you can go to Yamada Castle and ask for reinforcements, right?"
"Yes, my lord, go to Yamada Castle and ask for reinforcements! Your Majesty and the others will swear to resist the thieves!" the retainers immediately knelt down and shouted. Only then did they remember that Shen Fei had only learned Wei Neng not long ago, so naturally he was not the opponent of Whirlwind Santaro, and it was only right to let the lord go to Yamada Castle to ask for reinforcements! As long as the lord was there, the Fengyuan family was there, and as long as the Fengyuan family was there, even if the land was robbed by thieves, it could be taken back, and the knowledge and deeds of their own people would be the same! As long as the land is there, future generations will be guaranteed, so it is the first priority to protect the lord!
Shen Fei sighed: "Hey, the Linhe Hall has divided so much land for me, and those important ministers in Yamada City are all very red-eyed, so the head of the Yamada family conveyed the will of the Yamada Hall to me, and lent us the Fengyuan family's hundred stone rice and ten katana and fifty spears, and returned them in a year." But if anything happens to the territory of the Fengyuan family, they have to be responsible for themselves, and they can ask Yamada Castle for reinforcements, but when the reinforcements appear, that is, when the Fengyuan family is deprived of Zhixing. ”
"Ah?!Is this the case?!" All the samurai were stunned, but the samurai from Yamada Town were a little stunned, no wonder the Yamada family only sent the lord to recruit troops, and only the lord led his own people here, dare to have such an agreement!
"But, what should I do!" All the samurai frowned, reinforcements must not be invited, once invited, the knowledge of the Fengyuan family will be confiscated, and the samurai who have only been promoted, and the guys who have only been rewarded by the knowledge will return to the point where they have nothing before.
As long as you harvest the grain in your own land, you will definitely understand why the samurai dare to fight to the death for the sake of a hundred stone land, not to mention a hundred stones, the local tyrants in the countryside will fight for decades for ten stone land and become mortal enemies. Therefore, the samurai who have at least five stones in their hands and have harvested their own grain with their own hands will never allow these lands to be lost!
"Fight! What else can we do but fight?! I don't believe that there is a second thief with power in his thief group! As long as we rush forward without risking our lives, we can crush that whirlwind Santaro to death!" The samurai finally made their choice with great grief and indignation. In fact, there is only this choice, any other negotiation and evasion will be a huge blow to the newborn Fengyuan family, but this kind of behavior of disregarding life and death will instead water the martial name of the Fengyuan family with blood!
Shen Fei raised his eyebrows, looking at these guys, including the guard Saburo, the rice seedlings above their heads were all straight and doubled, obviously in the same state of excitement as the samurai.
It's just that although they feel good about their mentality, at least they have a group of retainers who are willing to die for the Fengyuan family, but they also look down on Lao Tzu too much, right? Who said that people who have just learned power can't destroy the guy who has cultivated power for a long time?!
Shen Fei pursed his lips, and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a miserable scream, he immediately stood up, drew his knife and rushed out, damn it! Lao Tzu is not enough to lead the people, these bastard thieves actually dare to kill Lao Tzu's people? See that Lao Tzu will not destroy you!
Everyone had already made up their minds before, and Shen Fei was so expressive, everyone would hesitate to go out, and they all followed out, ready to fight with the thieves. (To be continued......)
