Chapter 2 horny hero
Four miles from the coast of Naoetsu to North Korea, there is a place called Kakizaki, which is the residence of Yajiro Kakizaki.The Kakizaki clan is numerous, and it is one of the few big clans in Echigo. Today, Yajiro is a very brave general.Yajiro is twenty-five years old this year, with a huge body, as burly as a Vajra Warrior, with a bold conversation, and he knows an extraordinary person at first sight.He entered the battle at the age of sixteen, and has gone through more than ten battles in the past ten years, and he has not failed to win a battle in one of them.
He always said: "On the battlefield, there is no trouble! Just rush into the enemy's line and kill the enemy, or it will be over, as long as your body and the spear rush forward together, and stab the enemy's chest without hesitation , and then chop off his head, what's the trouble?! If you keep worrying about whether you will get hurt, it won't work." That's how he himself insists.
His body is covered with thick black body hair, and there are more than 20 scars all over his body.As a general, he was very agile in his actions and commanded the army very well.He usually sends a team to attack from the front, and then personally leads another team to make a surprise attack from the side. At this time, he must take the lead and rush into the enemy's line without turning his eyes to kill them.He used this method in every battle, so the enemy knew it very well. Although they were prepared, they still couldn't resist.
As far as the warriors of the Warring States Period are concerned, he is naturally an ideal warrior, but he is not without flaws.He is very horny and can hardly hold himself to beautiful women.Needless to say Xiaojiabiyu in his own collar, even the wandering girls near the battlefield, as long as they are beautiful, once he sees them, they will definitely not be able to escape his clutches.
To the persuasion of his family or friends, he always replied: "It is because of this fun that I can fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield. To be honest, I really hate things on the battlefield, it is extremely boring!" No one persuaded him anymore.
Just because of his strong lust, the women he dotes on will fall ill in bed for as long as two months, or as slow as half a year.At this time, he sent people to send them out of the city, and hired a doctor to treat them. After they recovered, he called them to wait for another night, and then gave them to the warriors at home or the virtuous people in the territory as wives.
The vassals laughed and said, "That night he probably wanted to make sure that the repairs were complete? It would be embarrassing if the wounds were still preserved and given to others. This man is quite kind!"
One day, a visitor came to visit.Kashiwazaki is five miles north from the coast of Kakizaki, and less than fourteen and five towns away, it is the base of Usami Sadako, the lord of Biwa Island.
Usami is the central figure in the anti-Nagao Weijing. When Weijing subdued the people of the noble family of Echigo with a clever plan, instead of yielding, he put up a clearer banner of resistance, calling on the noble family north of Kashiwazaki to fight against him.
Mi Erlang immediately guessed: "Ding Xing probably came to persuade me to go to his side!" Mi Erlang now belongs to Wei Jing's side, and often goes to the palace to serve as an official, but he has neither loyalty nor love for Wei Jing. He was not convinced, but because the shogun appointed Sadashi as the guardian and Jing as the guardian, and admitted that they were powerful samurai in the local area, so Yajiro had to treat each other with courtesy.
Not only did he have no hostility towards Usami Sakayoshi, but he held some respect for his unyielding fortitude to the end, because Yajiro lacked this kind of strong will alone. He thought to himself: "There is no reason for people to come to see me." So I met Usami.
Usami Sadayuki is forty-two years old this year. He is of medium height, skinny, and his long white face looks a bit slender. He doesn't look like a samurai, but a bit like a priest or a court minister.He has a short mustache, sparsely tinged with red, which makes him look more like a court official. He is dressed in light armor and a brocade war robe with a blue background. "Welcome, welcome! It's been a long time, it's great that you're still so strong!" Yajiro greeted in the usual way. Usami replied: "To each other, to each other!" Immediately talking about the business, "I'm thinking about it, you must know it!" "of course I know." "Then, your Excellency can probably guess why I'm here!" Usami said with a smile. Yajiro also smiled and said, "I can guess." "Then, I would like to hear your opinion." Although Yajiro was still smiling, he didn't answer. "I am quite confident in this operation. The lords from Kashiwazaki to Kita Niigata have already joined us. Therefore, the north of Kashiwazaki and the west of the Shinano River are all our accomplices, that is, more than half of the Echigo Kingdom is in our side. In addition, although Dingshi’s younger brother Dingxiangong was ordered by Jingwei to stay in Shangtiao City, he has already negotiated with me. Dingxiangong’s decision is not entirely personal, and may also be related to Dingshigong. In a few days, Ding Xiangong will raise the flag to vote, and at that time, most of the rich families who are currently subject to the king will respond, so that the power of the king will shrink and become isolated and helpless. It is quite obvious. In addition, I have invited Ryuohmaru-kun, the young lord of Ashikaga Takaki, the Minister of Furukawa, to the city of Wuzhou. Ryuohmaru-kun will soon be named Uesugi Kenmi, and he will inherit the Uesugi family in Yamauchi and serve as the leader. It is justified that the Guanling of the Kanto should be appointed by the Guandong government, but now it is inappropriate for the Guanling to be appointed by the Shogun of the Kyoto Shogunate. All in all, as far as the situation and name are concerned, our side is several times more profitable. In my opinion, As brave as your Excellency, it would be a pity if you followed someone with a bad name and a bad situation to perish, so I’m here to explain.” The smile on Usami's face never stopped, speaking like earnest instruction.About his plan, Yajiro knew a thing or two, but he never expected that he would be so thoughtful and meticulous. What kind of strong will was hidden under his peaceful expression?Yajiro looked at him intently. After a while of silence, Usami said: "I don't know what you want?" The tone remained calm, but it seemed to have the meaning of a fatal blow. Yajiro was startled, thinking in his heart.To be honest, he didn't have the slightest idea of dying for the sake of the king. He wanted to say excitedly that I want to join you, but after thinking about it, he shouldn't be so hasty and should ask for something. If he foolishly agrees, If it becomes irreparable, or if he is just talking nonsense, wouldn't it be a big loss? !Without conditions, Yajiro couldn't just agree. He nodded vigorously: "I am very clear about what your Excellency said. Although I am not responsible for the Fuchu or Kasuga Mountain, it is not unreasonable to worry about my subjects for a few years. I must think about it carefully and decide to go." He wanted to see Usami's reaction, and then took the opportunity to mention his plan.He has been paying attention to the other person's expression, but there seems to be no special reaction. "Your Majesty thinks that there is no need to worry too much, but you have a different position, so naturally you can't force others into difficulties. I will let Your Excellency make a decision after careful consideration. Then, I will take my leave. I may not have time to come back due to military affairs. After your Excellency decides, please let me know. Yes, this matter is very urgent, I hope Your Excellency will make a decision as soon as possible." When Usami said this, the clear eyes that did not match her age stared at Yajiro's eyes for a while, and suddenly stood up and said goodbye.Yajiro also got up, and quietly sent him to the entrance. For some reason, he was very concerned about Usami's meaningful glance, and he thought all the way: "What's the meaning of that gaze! What was he thinking at that time? … " Yajiro was about to send guests to the city gate, but before he arrived at the city gate, a strange thought suddenly crossed his mind. "He has been talking confidently just now, and he obviously came prepared, but now there are only five followers. It will not take me any trouble to take him down, and it is even easier to kill him. I just need to draw out the big knife at my waist, and it will be enough to kill him." From his forehead to the belly button." A cold smile bloomed on Yajiro's cheeks. At this moment, Usami Sadyuki suddenly turned his head and looked at Yajiro with a smile. His smile was very gentle, but it made Yajiro timid, "Could it be that he saw my thoughts?!" The two have reached the city gate. "Farewell, please go back!" When Usami turned around and bowed, dozens of heavily armed samurai suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and Yajiro felt regret and peace at the same time.
It was a calm day with no wind, and green shoots could be seen on the fields where the snow had disappeared.The waves on the sea undulate slowly, reflecting the dazzling sunlight. Not long ago, the field was covered with snow. Under the biting cold wind and snowflakes falling all over the sky, huge waves as high as mountains were set off on the sea. Usami decided to ride his horse along the seashore, about two miles away from Kakizaki Castle, dismounted and said to his followers: "You guys wait here, I will think about things." Then, he left his followers in the small pine forest, alone Head to the beach. Standing by the sea, looking north, you can see Sado Island, and the peaks on the island are still covered with snow.He stared at the snow, thinking about what happened just now: "Yajiro's heart has been shaken." He seemed to see through Yajiro's inner movements: Yajiro first wanted to ally with himself, and then he suddenly had doubts, another idea of profit, and even a murderous intention, all of which were within his expectations. He didn't particularly care about these, because Yajiro wasn't the only one like this. In today's world, this is human nature, and it would be abnormal to not have this layer of doubts and desires.In any case, he had already seen through that Yajiro would definitely join his side.He thought, what he said to Yajiro was not exaggerated, nor did he deceive him, the general situation will be finalized in a few days, Yajiro should know whether to advance or retreat.Instead, he was worried about the future. Yajiro's greed was so strong that it did not match his age and his status as a heroic warrior. Although people without material desires are as rare as morning stars, there are even fewer people like Yajiro. Some shame, or he is a little older and used to the ups and downs of life, or he has a little knowledge, and maybe he can control his material desires, but unfortunately he has nothing. He was only twenty-five years old and invincible.In the past battle experience, he seems to have gained nothing in terms of xinxing, especially in terms of knowledge.Although he was not illiterate, he could only write a simple letter at best, and basically, he was a dangerous person by nature. To be honest, a dangerous person like this really shouldn't be drawn into one's side.But he hoped so much to have Yajiro's help, so knowing that Yajiro was dangerous, he decided to take this trip to persuade him. "There is no way, I have to be fully and carefully prepared, other than that, I have no other way." Although this conclusion is ordinary, Usami Setyuki is already satisfied.He took a few steps on the beach and turned back to the small pine forest. Mishan stands in front of you, the mountain is steep, although the bottom of the mountain is a scene full of spring, the top of the mountain is still a winter scene, and the snow has not disappeared.He felt something in his heart, and lightly tapped his feet with a whip, fascinated by it.
Kakizaki Yajiro did not fully believe what Usami Sadyuki said.He secretly decided: "This is the Warring States Period when both the enemy and the enemy are unpredictable. It is extremely difficult to grasp the scale, not to mention that Suruga is very strategic, so let's wait and see for now!" Having said that, he still cares about this matter very much, whether eating or sleeping, this matter is like a knot in his heart, forcing him to keep thinking, and he can't help but feel a little hateful.Four or five days later, he learned the latest news about the situation in North Vietnam. Usami was scheduled to go to Kannonji Village at the foot of Yahiko Mountain, recruiting local wealthy families in the name of crusade, and there was an endless stream of defectors. "In that case, what he said is not entirely a lie." Yajiro's heart was greatly shaken, but he felt that it was too early, because the strength to protect Daiweijing was also quite strong.However, Yajiro couldn't help but hope that Kamijou's Uesugi Joken would send an envoy to communicate with him. "It's so hateful! My mood right now is like a fly with its feet stuck in glue, I can't get up or down." Although he was helpless, he still decided that if Kamijou made a move, he would give up Weijing's side as Usami Sadayuki said. Two or three days later, Kamijou indeed sent an envoy, who was the servant of the Jokino clan's old Mominoshiro Zaemon, and he brought a letter from Momino. "Sincerely, Harima Shousada and Suruga Shousada Xinggong have sent troops to fight against the traitors. They want to recruit my old soldiers from Uesugi. Kakizaki has made contributions to Uesugi for generations. I firmly believe that we will be able to join in this grand event. There will be great rewards for those who are worthy." After Mijiro took it, he put it aside and said, "Actually, I already knew about this matter from Mr. Dingxing a few days ago, and I was waiting in my heart..." Speaking of this, Yajiro originally planned to agree readily, but suddenly he thought about it: "No, attracting people like me is very helpful to Dingxing. If this is the case, how can we accept the same rewards like other people?" What about rewards? There should be some special agreement in advance!" After a second thought, Yajiro changed into a cold expression, opened the letter and read it carefully again, he said: "There is no clear record about the reward in Shiro Zuogong's letter!" The visitor smiled slightly and said, "As for the reward, we will report it in detail after you have an answer. Ding Xiangong said that after the matter is completed, I will give you ten townships in Jingcheng County, and write it down in black and white. Here we come." As he spoke, he took out a document from his pocket. Yajiro thought to himself: "If I hadn't said it, I'm afraid he would have taken it back quietly! It's dangerous! Fortunately, I was thoughtful." So he shook his broad shoulders and laughed and said, "What a joke! It seems that I just joined here for the sake of reward, and I didn't intend to do so. The order of things is reversed. It's a joke, a joke! Haha..." "So, you agree to join us?" "That's needless to say? How can I not agree? Since the ancestors, the Kakizaki clan has been favored by the Uesugi family, how dare they turn their backs!" "Congratulations! Then please accept this document!" Yajiro Kakizaki took it, opened it, and found that the content mentioned just now was indeed written, and it had the signature and monogram of Joshin. "Okay!" Yajiro asked someone to bring a pen and paper to write the franchise letter on the spot.
As soon as Kamijou's envoy left, Yajiro immediately sent someone to invite his younger brother Yasaburo to discuss important matters.Misaburo lived in the city near Mishan Temple, one and a half mile away. The envoy came back to report in the evening. "Really? That's good!" Yajiro thought that his younger brother would arrive only tomorrow, so after dark, he took his new favorite to drink and have fun.The weather is neither hot nor cold, very comfortable.The flowers on the ground were just about to bloom, and the moon was dim in the sky. He drank more wine than usual, and he was a little drunk. He lay his pillow on the woman's knee, and the elastic and round touch of the knee was wonderful. Go to sleep. Suddenly, in his dream, he seemed to hear Yasaburo calling him: "Brother, brother!" When he opened his eyes, the woman had already moved his head on the wooden pillow and covered him with a light quilt. "Ah! You're here. I thought you'd come tomorrow." He stood up abruptly, his alcohol gone. "I originally planned to do the same, but I thought it might be of great importance, so Pegasus came here. Why, brother is in a good mood! You look very good!" "Indeed, it's probably because of the dim moonlight!" Outside the open paper door, soft pearly moonlight flooded the ground.The bushes and the opposite building are in a faint black color, but the flowers are like a white powder sprinkled with a white luster, which is indescribably delicate and beautiful.Yajiro was fascinated by watching, and Yasaburo couldn't help urging him: "What's the matter? Brother!" "Well!" Yajiro sat upright, and told Yasaburo without reservation about Usami's scheduled visit, Kamijou's envoy's visit today, his promise to join the team, and Kamijou's plan to give him Jujo-gun. Yasaburo nodded and said, "That's great! If that's the case, why do we hesitate?" "I'm glad you said that, but..." Before finishing speaking, Yasaburo rushed to say: "Brother wants me to convince the whole family, right?" "Yes, there are always some stupid and obtuse people in the family. I hope you can have a frank talk with them and see what they think?" "Let me talk about it. I think it's probably okay! Wei Jing has done a bit too much. Although domestic warriors intend to obey and protect, Wei Jing treats them like puppets. Everyone is working for Wei Jing. Everyone thinks it’s boring, anyway, I’ll go talk about it!” Yajiro suddenly stopped echoing Yasaburo's words, and stared at the courtyard with keen eyes like a hawk. Yasaburo said again: "How about we imagine it first?" "No, let's not mention this, let's have a drink first! I see, you will sleep here tonight!" Yajiro got up, went to the porch, clapped his hands, turned around and passed the position just now, and when he was about to step out of the porch, he pulled out The short knife shot into the bushes, the short knife flashed a pearly light, and disappeared into the dark bushes. "What's going on?!" Yasaburo was shocked and stood up. "There are assassins!" Yajiro jumped out of the corridor and rushed towards the bushes. "Brother!" Yasaburo also jumped down.Yajiro picked up the short knife stuck in the ground, stroked the blade with his thumb and forefinger, and sniffed at the tip of his nose. Yasaburo asked again: "Someone was hiding here just now?!" Yajiro held the handle of the short knife in his right hand, his eyes shot sharply in all directions, and the index finger of his left hand was close to the tip of Yasaburo's nose. "Ah! Blood!" "Right here!" Yajiro said out of breath.The brothers hurriedly called the servants to look for the assassin, but of course the assassin had disappeared.Yajiro was furious: "It's impossible for him to leave this yard! Find him quickly!"
When the night was about to dawn, in the dormitory in Kasuga Mountain City, Wei Jing suddenly opened his eyes from a light sleep state.At the entrance of the door, Hattori Genki knelt there with his hands on the ground. He was wearing light brown clothes and his posture was quite humble. "It's you!" "yes." He raised his head and smiled slightly. He has a very big nose, small eyes, and a big mouth like a crow. Wei Jing got up slowly, sat on the bed and said, "Come closer." "Yes." Xuan Gui walked forward on his knees, a little clumsily. "What? Are you injured?" "Yes! A little bit." He smiled wryly, and then restrained his smile in an instant. "Where did you get it?" "The city of Yajiro Kakizaki." "Yajiro?" "yes." "Sure enough, even you can't hide." Xuan Gui smiled wryly again.He is Wei Jing's most trusted ninja. He came from Iga country a few years ago. In order to test him, Wei Jing ordered him to assassinate a servant he didn't like. The next day that person turned into a cold dead body in his home On the bed, there was neither trace of beheading nor strangulation, let alone poisoning. The doctor diagnosed it as sudden death.Wei Jing asked him what method he used, but he just smiled and didn't answer.However, Wei Jing knew that he was very useful because of this, and often sent him tasks.This time, he was ordered to monitor the situation of the Usami Sadayuki faction, and to investigate the movements of the wealthy families in the country. "So, how is Kakizaki doing?" "The situation is serious!" Xuan Gui told the truth about Usami's visit to Kakizaki, Kamijou's sending of envoys, his promise of reward, and the process of the Kakizaki brothers' question and answer tonight.His voice was low and hurried, and he had to bend over and listen carefully. Keizaki wants to subdue Yajiro Kakizaki than anyone else, so he treats him as courteously as possible.For meritorious service on the battlefield, he never hesitated to grant him territory, and often gave him some gifts; whenever he went to the mansion to perform his duties, he must be invited to a feast in Chunri Mountain City, all of which was nothing more than to win his heart.If Kakizaki really joins Usami, it will be quite a shock to him, but Wei Jing said calmly, "Really? Okay, I understand, this is a reward for you, take it!" He said Take out the silver from the file box, wrap it in paper, and throw it to Xuan Gui: "Get back!" After Xuan Gui received it respectfully, he put it in his arms and was about to leave. "Wait a minute, don't go anywhere for a day or two, just stay at home, I have a new task for you!" "Yes!" Xuan Gui stepped back, opened the paper door, and disappeared like a puff of smoke. Wei Jing crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.He is a realist through and through. He believes that the driving force for people to unite is profit. He asks himself and knows that he has absolutely no pure loyalty to give up the idea of interest. heart of.He thought: "Loyalty and righteousness are all born out of interests. As long as there are appropriate interests, others will naturally follow." As the deduction goes on, a firm belief is formed: "As long as I have strength, people will not betray me, because betraying me will cause damage instead." Therefore, although he was shocked by Kakizaki's betrayal, he was not angry. He just regretted that he didn't act first and called Usami to take the lead. Wei Jing got up to freshen up, then went to the shooting range to shoot arrows, calm as usual.After he returned from shooting the fixed fifty arrows, he ordered someone to call Xuan Gui.Xuan Gui rushed over immediately and knelt down in the courtyard. He was like this when there were other people around, and he never dared to come up to the corridor. "Oh! Here you are." Wei Jing changed into the shoes on the slate, stepped on the stepping stones in the warm morning light, and walked to the backyard, Xuan Gui followed behind with a tense face.Wei Jing sat on the cool chair under the bright red papaya flowers, and Xuan Gui knelt down in front of him. "How is your injury, can you go a long way?" "I don't think it matters." "Then, listen carefully..." Wei Jing said a few words in Xuangui's ear, and Xuangui nodded from time to time. "Do you understand?" "yes!" Wei Jing took out a paper bag from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is the fee for the business, a total of one hundred taels of gold dust." Then he took out another paper bag and said, "This is your fee, there are ten taels. You set off immediately, and if you find someone you like, I will reward you with a hundred taels." After speaking, he stood up, turned around and left.
Usami Sadayuki is forty-two years old this year. He is of medium height, skinny, and his long white face looks a bit slender. He doesn't look like a samurai, but a bit like a priest or a court minister.He has a short mustache, sparsely tinged with red, which makes him look more like a court official. He is dressed in light armor and a brocade war robe with a blue background. "Welcome, welcome! It's been a long time, it's great that you're still so strong!" Yajiro greeted in the usual way. Usami replied: "To each other, to each other!" Immediately talking about the business, "I'm thinking about it, you must know it!" "of course I know." "Then, your Excellency can probably guess why I'm here!" Usami said with a smile. Yajiro also smiled and said, "I can guess." "Then, I would like to hear your opinion." Although Yajiro was still smiling, he didn't answer. "I am quite confident in this operation. The lords from Kashiwazaki to Kita Niigata have already joined us. Therefore, the north of Kashiwazaki and the west of the Shinano River are all our accomplices, that is, more than half of the Echigo Kingdom is in our side. In addition, although Dingshi’s younger brother Dingxiangong was ordered by Jingwei to stay in Shangtiao City, he has already negotiated with me. Dingxiangong’s decision is not entirely personal, and may also be related to Dingshigong. In a few days, Ding Xiangong will raise the flag to vote, and at that time, most of the rich families who are currently subject to the king will respond, so that the power of the king will shrink and become isolated and helpless. It is quite obvious. In addition, I have invited Ryuohmaru-kun, the young lord of Ashikaga Takaki, the Minister of Furukawa, to the city of Wuzhou. Ryuohmaru-kun will soon be named Uesugi Kenmi, and he will inherit the Uesugi family in Yamauchi and serve as the leader. It is justified that the Guanling of the Kanto should be appointed by the Guandong government, but now it is inappropriate for the Guanling to be appointed by the Shogun of the Kyoto Shogunate. All in all, as far as the situation and name are concerned, our side is several times more profitable.

What kind of strong will was hidden under his peaceful expression?Yajiro looked at him intently. After a while of silence, Usami said: "I don't know what you want?" The tone remained calm, but it seemed to have the meaning of a fatal blow. Yajiro was startled, thinking in his heart.To be honest, he didn't have the slightest idea of dying for the sake of the king. He wanted to say excitedly that I want to join you, but after thinking about it, he shouldn't be so hasty and should ask for something. If he foolishly agrees, If it becomes irreparable, or if he is just talking nonsense, wouldn't it be a big loss? !Without conditions, Yajiro couldn't just agree. He nodded vigorously: "I am very clear about what your Excellency said. Although I am not responsible for the Fuchu or Kasuga Mountain, it is not unreasonable to worry about my subjects for a few years. I must think about it carefully and decide to go." He wanted to see Usami's reaction, and then took the opportunity to mention his plan.He has been paying attention to the other person's expression, but there seems to be no special reaction. "Your Majesty thinks that there is no need to worry too much, but you have a different position, so naturally you can't force others into difficulties. I will let Your Excellency make a decision after careful consideration. Then, I will take my leave. I may not have time to come back due to military affairs. After your Excellency decides, please let me know. Yes, this matter is very urgent, I hope Your Excellency will make a decision as soon as possible." When Usami said this, the clear eyes that did not match her age stared at Yajiro's eyes for a while, and suddenly stood up and said goodbye.Yajiro also got up, and quietly sent him to the entrance. For some reason, he was very concerned about Usami's meaningful glance, and he thought all the way: "What's the meaning of that gaze!

The two have reached the city gate. "Farewell, please go back!" When Usami turned around and bowed, dozens of heavily armed samurai suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and Yajiro felt regret and peace at the same time.
It was a calm day with no wind, and green shoots could be seen on the fields where the snow had disappeared.The waves on the sea undulate slowly, reflecting the dazzling sunlight. Not long ago, the field was covered with snow. Under the biting cold wind and snowflakes falling all over the sky, huge waves as high as mountains were set off on the sea. Usami decided to ride his horse along the seashore, about two miles away from Kakizaki Castle, dismounted and said to his followers: "You guys wait here, I will think about things." Then, he left his followers in the small pine forest, alone Head to the beach. Standing by the sea, looking north, you can see Sado Island, and the peaks on the island are still covered with snow.He stared at the snow, thinking about what happened just now: "Yajiro's heart has been shaken."

Usami was scheduled to go to Kannonji Village at the foot of Yahiko Mountain, recruiting local wealthy families in the name of crusade, and there was an endless stream of defectors. "In that case, what he said is not entirely a lie." Yajiro's heart was greatly shaken, but he felt that it was too early, because the strength to protect Daiweijing was also quite strong.However, Yajiro couldn't help but hope that Kamijou's Uesugi Joken would send an envoy to communicate with him. "It's so hateful! My mood right now is like a fly with its feet stuck in glue, I can't get up or down." Although he was helpless, he still decided that if Kamijou made a move, he would give up Weijing's side as Usami Sadayuki said. Two or three days later, Kamijou indeed sent an envoy, who was the servant of the Jokino clan's old Mominoshiro Zaemon, and he brought a letter from Momino. "Sincerely, Harima Shousada and Suruga Shousada Xinggong have sent troops to fight against the traitors. They want to recruit my old soldiers from Uesugi. Kakizaki has made contributions to Uesugi for generations. I firmly believe that we will be able to join in this grand event. There will be great rewards for those who are worthy." After Mijiro took it, he put it aside and said, "Actually, I already knew about this matter from Mr. Dingxing a few days ago, and I was waiting in my heart..." Speaking of this, Yajiro originally planned to agree readily, but suddenly he thought about it: "No, attracting people like me is very helpful to Dingxing. If this is the case, how can we accept the same rewards like other people?" What about rewards? There should be some special agreement in advance!" After a second thought, Yajiro changed into a cold expression, opened the letter and read it carefully again, he said: "There is no clear record about the reward in Shiro Zuogong's letter!" The visitor smiled slightly and said, "As for the reward, we will report it in detail after you have an answer. Ding Xiangong said that after the matter is completed, I will give you ten townships in Jingcheng County, and write it down in black and white. Here we come." As he spoke, he took out a document from his pocket. Yajiro thought to himself: "If I hadn't said it, I'm afraid he would have taken it back quietly! It's dangerous! Fortunately, I was thoughtful." So he shook his broad shoulders and laughed and said, "What a joke! It seems that I just joined here for the sake of reward, and I didn't intend to do so. The order of things is reversed. It's a joke, a joke! Haha..." "So, you agree to join us?" "That's needless to say? How can I not agree? Since the ancestors, the Kakizaki clan has been favored by the Uesugi family, how dare they turn their backs!" "Congratulations! Then please accept this document!" Yajiro Kakizaki took it, opened it, and found that the content mentioned just now was indeed written, and it had the signature and monogram of Joshin. "Okay!" Yajiro asked someone to bring a pen and paper to write the franchise letter on the spot.
As soon as Kamijou's envoy left, Yajiro immediately sent someone to invite his younger brother Yasaburo to discuss important matters.Misaburo lived in the city near Mishan Temple, one and a half mile away. The envoy came back to report in the evening. "Really? That's good!" Yajiro thought that his younger brother would arrive only tomorrow, so after dark, he took his new favorite to drink and have fun.The weather is neither hot nor cold, very comfortable.The flowers on the ground were just about to bloom, and the moon was dim in the sky. He drank more wine than usual, and he was a little drunk. He lay his pillow on the woman's knee, and the elastic and round touch of the knee was wonderful. Go to sleep. Suddenly, in his dream, he seemed to hear Yasaburo calling him: "Brother, brother!" When he opened his eyes, the woman had already moved his head on the wooden pillow and covered him with a light quilt. "Ah! You're here. I thought you'd come tomorrow." He stood up abruptly, his alcohol gone. "I originally planned to do the same, but I thought it might be of great importance, so Pegasus came here. Why, brother is in a good mood! You look very good!" "Indeed, it's probably because of the dim moonlight!" Outside the open paper door, soft pearly moonlight flooded the ground.The bushes and the opposite building are in a faint black color, but the flowers are like a white powder sprinkled with a white luster, which is indescribably delicate and beautiful.Yajiro was fascinated by watching, and Yasaburo couldn't help urging him: "What's the matter? Brother!" "Well!" Yajiro sat upright, and told Yasaburo without reservation about Usami's scheduled visit, Kamijou's envoy's visit today, his promise to join the team, and Kamijou's plan to give him Jujo-gun. Yasaburo nodded and said, "That's great! If that's the case, why do we hesitate?" "I'm glad you said that, but..." Before finishing speaking, Yasaburo rushed to say: "Brother wants me to convince the whole family, right?" "Yes, there are always some stupid and obtuse people in the family. I hope you can have a frank talk with them and see what they think?" "Let me talk about it. I think it's probably okay! Wei Jing has done a bit too much. Although domestic warriors intend to obey and protect, Wei Jing treats them like puppets. Everyone is working for Wei Jing. Everyone thinks it’s boring, anyway, I’ll go talk about it!” Yajiro suddenly stopped echoing Yasaburo's words, and stared at the courtyard with keen eyes like a hawk. Yasaburo said again: "How about we imagine it first?" "No, let's not mention this, let's have a drink first! I see, you will sleep here tonight!" Yajiro got up, went to the porch, clapped his hands, turned around and passed the position just now, and when he was about to step out of the porch, he pulled out The short knife shot into the bushes, the short knife flashed a pearly light, and disappeared into the dark bushes. "What's going on?!" Yasaburo was shocked and stood up. "There are assassins!" Yajiro jumped out of the corridor and rushed towards the bushes. "Brother!" Yasaburo also jumped down.Yajiro picked up the short knife stuck in the ground, stroked the blade with his thumb and forefinger, and sniffed at the tip of his nose. Yasaburo asked again: "Someone was hiding here just now?!" Yajiro held the handle of the short knife in his right hand, his eyes shot sharply in all directions, and the index finger of his left hand was close to the tip of Yasaburo's nose. "Ah! Blood!" "Right here!" Yajiro said out of breath.The brothers hurriedly called the servants to look for the assassin, but of course the assassin had disappeared.Yajiro was furious: "It's impossible for him to leave this yard! Find him quickly!"
When the night was about to dawn, in the dormitory in Kasuga Mountain City, Wei Jing suddenly opened his eyes from a light sleep state.At the entrance of the door, Hattori Genki knelt there with his hands on the ground. He was wearing light brown clothes and his posture was quite humble. "It's you!" "yes." He raised his head and smiled slightly. He has a very big nose, small eyes, and a big mouth like a crow. Wei Jing got up slowly, sat on the bed and said, "Come closer." "Yes." Xuan Gui walked forward on his knees, a little clumsily. "What? Are you injured?" "Yes! A little bit." He smiled wryly, and then restrained his smile in an instant. "Where did you get it?" "The city of Yajiro Kakizaki." "Yajiro?" "yes." "Sure enough, even you can't hide." Xuan Gui smiled wryly again.He is Wei Jing's most trusted ninja. He came from Iga country a few years ago. In order to test him, Wei Jing ordered him to assassinate a servant he didn't like. The next day that person turned into a cold dead body in his home On the bed, there was neither trace of beheading nor strangulation, let alone poisoning. The doctor diagnosed it as sudden death.Wei Jing asked him what method he used, but he just smiled and didn't answer.However, Wei Jing knew that he was very useful because of this, and often sent him tasks.This time, he was ordered to monitor the situation of the Usami Sadayuki faction, and to investigate the movements of the wealthy families in the country. "So, how is Kakizaki doing?" "The situation is serious!" Xuan Gui told the truth about Usami's visit to Kakizaki, Kamijou's sending of envoys, his promise of reward, and the process of the Kakizaki brothers' question and answer tonight.His voice was low and hurried, and he had to bend over and listen carefully. Keizaki wants to subdue Yajiro Kakizaki than anyone else, so he treats him as courteously as possible.For meritorious service on the battlefield, he never hesitated to grant him territory, and often gave him some gifts; whenever he went to the mansion to perform his duties, he must be invited to a feast in Chunri Mountain City, all of which was nothing more than to win his heart.If Kakizaki really joins Usami, it will be quite a shock to him, but Wei Jing said calmly, "Really? Okay, I understand, this is a reward for you, take it!" He said Take out the silver from the file box, wrap it in paper, and throw it to Xuan Gui: "Get back!" After Xuan Gui received it respectfully, he put it in his arms and was about to leave. "Wait a minute, don't go anywhere for a day or two, just stay at home, I have a new task for you!" "Yes!" Xuan Gui stepped back, opened the paper door, and disappeared like a puff of smoke. Wei Jing crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.He is a realist through and through. He believes that the driving force for people to unite is profit. He asks himself and knows that he has absolutely no pure loyalty to give up the idea of interest. heart of.He thought: "Loyalty and righteousness are all born out of interests. As long as there are appropriate interests, others will naturally follow." As the deduction goes on, a firm belief is formed: "As long as I have strength, people will not betray me, because betraying me will cause damage instead." Therefore, although he was shocked by Kakizaki's betrayal, he was not angry. He just regretted that he didn't act first and called Usami to take the lead. Wei Jing got up to freshen up, then went to the shooting range to shoot arrows, calm as usual.After he returned from shooting the fixed fifty arrows, he ordered someone to call Xuan Gui.Xuan Gui rushed over immediately and knelt down in the courtyard. He was like this when there were other people around, and he never dared to come up to the corridor. "Oh! Here you are." Wei Jing changed into the shoes on the slate, stepped on the stepping stones in the warm morning light, and walked to the backyard, Xuan Gui followed behind with a tense face.Wei Jing sat on the cool chair under the bright red papaya flowers, and Xuan Gui knelt down in front of him. "How is your injury, can you go a long way?" "I don't think it matters." "Then, listen carefully..." Wei Jing said a few words in Xuangui's ear, and Xuangui nodded from time to time. "Do you understand?" "yes!" Wei Jing took out a paper bag from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is the fee for the business, a total of one hundred taels of gold dust." Then he took out another paper bag and said, "This is your fee, there are ten taels. You set off immediately, and if you find someone you like, I will reward you with a hundred taels." After speaking, he stood up, turned around and left.
