Xiashan Village in Kaijuma County.

The early morning sun shining diagonally across the Kai Mountain.

Xinsuke opened the door and watched the sun shine on the snow. His eyes were dazzling, and he couldn't help but sneezed. He twisted his nose and stretched his waist.

"Xinjie, be careful on the road."

Behind him came the voice of his wife. Shinsuke straightened the carpentry box around his waist and said gently, "I see."

Shinsuke is a local craftsman, a great craftsman in Xiashan Village, but a famous master craftsman in Kai.

The craftsmen of the great craftsmanship in the lower mountains usually work in agriculture, and generally accept the general request of the lord during the slack time to build castle towns, monqian towns, youli temples, and castle residences in exchange for tax reductions.

It was snowing heavily in Kai Fei in the past month, and it was the New Year. Shinsuke has been training at home for a long time, and without work, there is almost no rice at home.

Fortunately, at this time on Ranwen Novel.com, the nearby lord Anatoyama asked them to help repair the castle town. Although there is no salary to work for the lord, they can still eat two meals a day.

So Xinsuke received an invitation from Dagong and immediately cleaned up and set off.

Just as Shinsuke was about to go out, there was the sound of rustling snow outside the door, and three men dressed like local people were slowly walking towards his house.

Xinsuke suddenly became suspicious. These few were born very tall and burly, and they were all fresh faces. It was very strange that they suddenly appeared in the countryside and mountains in this snowy day.

The most suspicious thing is that when the other party was walking, Ranwen.com, and the last person was responsible for sweeping away the footprints left in the snow when the three of them were walking. Obviously, they wanted to hide their traces.

The other party apparently saw him too, and was heading in this direction.

Could it be a bandit? Thinking of his wife who was staying at home, Shinsuke quickly turned around to face the door and knocked.

From the room came the soft voice of his wife: "Shinsuke, have you forgotten something?"

Shinsuke wanted to remind his wife, but at the moment he couldn't speak out, but he couldn't show too much anxiety. He could only knock on the door, although the sound was not loud, but the frequency was faster. NS.

"Xinsuke, what's wrong with you?"

After the door was opened, Shinsuke saw his wife's face, and he was a little relieved, but at this moment, he felt as if he was heavy on his shoulders, with a palm of his hand pressing on his shoulder.

"Hey, how do I get to Fanfu Township?"

The other party asked unceremoniously.

Xinjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the target didn't seem to be him, so he turned his head and was about to speak.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes on the road in the mountains.

These people suddenly stepped into the house, and the person who had just spoken to them held their wives in their arms.

"Little Bow"

Xinsuke was taken aback when he saw it, and was about to fetch the carpenter's file at his waist. At this time, a man reached out and restrained him, saying: "If you want your wife to survive, don't say we've been here for a while. "

The speaker was the tallest and tallest among the three, and the remaining one had not spoken since entering the door. The hands-on matters were left to the other two, which was obviously the tallest among the three.

Xinsuke glanced at his panicked wife, then nodded and said, "Well, everything is up to your orders, but don't embarrass my wife."

The other party obviously saw that he and his wife were very affectionate, nodded at him, and said: "As long as you don't say it, you and your wife will be fine."

Seeing the three men escorting his wife into the house to hide, Shinsuke calmed down his panic expression and closed the door again.

Soon after, the sound of horseshoes really stopped in front of my door, and then there was a rude knock on the door.

Shinsuke took a look at the appearance of his wife being hijacked by the other party with a knife, took a deep breath, threw the woodworking box aside, and then opened the door.

Xinjie pretended to be lazily and still not awake, and said unhappily, "Who is it, I'm annoying uncle."

As soon as Xinjie finished speaking, he immediately felt that he was lightened, and he was actually lifted up by the whole person.

The opponent was a powerful warrior with Kong Wu, and asked rudely: "Can you see someone passing by?"

Shinsuke turned his eyes and said, "Yes."

"Where?"

"It's you, aren't you human?"

As soon as Xinsuke talked about it, the samurai's expression was slightly taken aback, and then he furiously said: "Dare to tease me."

Immediately, Shinsuke felt his body slumped heavily on the ground, and then he rolled in pain.

The samurai on the other side laughed when they saw it, and then one person said: "There are no footprints here. There must be no one coming. Let's search elsewhere."

After speaking, the group of warriors remounted their horses and left the place immediately.

Xinsuke got up in pain, and after closing the door again, he turned and said, "I have done what you said, please put down my wife."

The taller man in the other party said: "I didn't expect your Excellency to be a bit smart and very good. We are people who keep our promises. Both you and your wife's lives are saved."

After speaking, this person took out a bag of money from him and threw it to Xinsuke.

Xinjie took the purse in his hand and supported it. There were at least a few hundred dollars in it, which was enough for the couple to live for a long time.

Xinsuke thought that since the other party was willing to give the money, his life must be saved, otherwise he wouldn't have to do anything else, but then he saw on the surface of the money bag again, with the family pattern of the Takeda family painted.

How can this be used by a bandit.

Shinsuke was taken aback at the moment and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't know if you come here personally, forgive your sins and forgive your sins."

The three of them glanced at each other, still the tall man, and said: "If you forgive your sins, you don't need to say it. I'll ask you how to get to Fanfu Township?"

Xinsuke cried out and explained the journey in detail.

The other party hesitated for a while, and then discussed with each other privately.

In the end, the seemingly highest-ranking person among the three said, "Are you called Shinsuke?"

Xinsuke hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes, my lord."

"There is one thing left to you at the moment. It is very dangerous. It may cost you your life, but in return it will give you a chance to become a samurai. Are you willing?"

As soon as Xinsuke's eyes rolled, he was still hesitating, but suddenly thought that his wife was still in the hands of the other party, and suddenly replied from the bottom of his heart: "Don't dare to ask for anything in return, please give your orders."

"Very good. What we want you to do is very simple, that is, take us to Fanfu Township and find us a suitable identity as a cover to avoid chasing soldiers and interrogation on the road."

What does Shinsuke want these three people to do in Fanfu Township? These three men should be all samurai adults who were hunted and killed in Kai's territory. Could it be that they were spies of the enemy country.

Thinking of this, Shinsuke knows what the guilt of the adulterer is and will be punished by execution.

However, thinking of his wife, Shinsuke still said in a loud voice: "The villain must swear to the death to complete the adult's entrustment."

Xinsuke didn't know the fate of him and his wife just now, and he wandered around before the gate of the ghost gate before returning.

If Shinsuke showed the slightest hesitation just now, these three people would have to kill the two people in the house for the sake of keeping their whereabouts secret.

Hearing the promise of the new farmer in front of him, the three of them all smiled. Naturally, they escaped overnight and surrounded by Li Xiao, Takeda Katsurai, and Shioka Ichiwa.

And before asking Xinsuke to disguise them and lead the way, it was only considered on the one hand, and the other purpose was to take him away and hold him, so that the other party would not inform others and reveal their identities after they left.

Of course so, there is no need to kill these two people. This is also a consideration for preserving the lives of these two people.

The road to Suruga from Kozuzakikan via Koshu Street is called the Shunshu Shuttle among the Koshu population, and the Koshu Shuttle among the people of Suruga.

On this street today, people come and go in an endless stream.

The reason is that tomorrow, Jiuyuan Temple in Yanshan, Jumoma County, will hold the Mito lecture, which will attract believers from all over the world to attend the lecture.

Speaking of Kuonji's position among the followers of the Nichiren sect in Japan, it is the supreme existence because it is the head mountain of the Nichiren sect.

It is equivalent to the believer of Yixiangzong, in the mind of the existence of Shishan Dayufang.

Therefore, in the streets today, all the followers of the Nichiren sect who came to Nobuyama to listen to the lecture.

This gave Takeda Katsurai, Li Xiao and the others a good cover for the flow of people and the opportunity to escape the encirclement of Fanfu Huchang.

Upon exiting the checkpoint ahead, a team was checking the pedestrian's belongings.

Takeda Katsurai Li Xiao and the others dressed as a local farmer. They covered their heads with a turban, tied a knot in front of their foreheads, and then tied a cross knot on the back with a cloth tape. They were dressed in coarse linen, and their feet were all straw sandals. And they can’t wear socks, otherwise they don’t meet the people’s status, so they can only cut down the straw and wrap them outside to keep out the cold.

Li Xiao squinted his eyes for a moment, and the foot light in front of the level said softly to Takeda Katsuyai: "It's not a red samurai, it looks like the foot light of the local Ananayama family."

Takeda Katsuyori glanced at it and nodded and said, "Yes, this leads to Jiuonji Temple. The Anayama family usually sets up checkpoints outside of Monqiancho to collect the money from merchants and visitors to Jiuonji Temple. But that's it. If we meet the Anshan family, do we show our identities?"

"No, they are too few people to prevent us from chasing soldiers. Secondly, the Xueshan family's attitude is unclear, and they can't be trusted. Let's move on." Li Xiao said in a deep voice, and then he glanced again. Shinsuke, he couldn't help shaking at this moment.

Li Xiao couldn't help but whispered: "Xinjie, what are you doing?"

Shinsuke looked back and said to Li Xiaoyan in a flustered expression: "My lord, in front is the samurai Sano Jubei of the Anayama clan. He coveted the beauty of his wife, and once criticized the villain for several times, so the villain was very afraid of him. , Even more afraid of being seen by him."

Hearing Xinsuke's excuse, everyone secretly smiled.

Takeda Katsuyori thought for a while and said, "Sano's family is a native of Kuma County, and the owner is an important retainer of the Anyama family. Shinsuke, you don't need to be afraid of him. There is only one checkpoint. You are already very good. , As long as you do what you just did. As long as we can reach Iitomi Township safely, you will be a samurai in the future, so you don’t need to be afraid of these ten soldiers."

Shinsuke listened to Takeda Katsuyori's comfort, and his expression eased slightly.

Before the four came to the checkpoint, the person who dressed up as a samurai should be Sano Jubei mentioned by Shinsuke.

Right now he walked up to Shinsuke with a sway, spit on him, and said contemptuously: "Shinsuke, you humble servant, what are you here for Uncle Sano? I didn't tell you before. I saw Uncle Sano. You have to go around ten rooms, no, is it a distance of a hundred? Do you want to live."

Shinsuke lowered his head to contain the fear in his heart, and said: "Sir Shibingbei, this time Shinsuke was sent to the city by the order of Lord Anatoyama to repair the house. Because the matter was urgent, he offended him. Please forgive me too."

Sano Jubei looked behind Li Xiao and his party and asked, "Are these people your companions?"

"Yes Jie answered in a low voice.

Sano Jubei looked at them carefully, but Katsuyori Takeda and the others hugged their heads with turbans, but their faces were not easy to recognize for a while.

Sano Jubei stretched out his hand and said to Shinsuke, "What are you still stunned? Hand over the toll payment quickly, otherwise don't blame me for embarrassing you."

There was a flash of joy on the new interface, and he nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes."

After finishing speaking, pay the passing money to Jubei Sano.

After Sano Jubei took the money and glanced at it, he waved his head and signaled to let him go.

Just as Li Xiao and his party walked through the checkpoint, Li Xiao suddenly felt that something was wrong. According to the previous description of Shinsuke Sano Jubei, they should be criticized for how to speak well today.

Just when Li Xiaoxin noticed something was wrong, he saw Sano Jubei quietly pulling out the ribs between his waist.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao's reaction was not slow. He rushed forward, holding Sano's guards and shoulders with both hands, and shouted, "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Li Xiao was restrained by Li Xiao, Sano Jubei suddenly cursed: "I just want to send someone to ask Mr. Fanfu today to say that it is really good to have spies from the enemy country these days. You are so tall, how can you look like this? Ordinary people, take it for me together."

As soon as Sano Jubei's voice fell, their footsteps had not yet reacted.

Hearing a squeaking sound next to him, a bright knife light flashed across, and in an instant, the head of Sano Jubei flew up into the sky with the helmet attached to it.

With a chuckle, blood went everywhere.

Seeing this scene, the people on the side suddenly screamed and fled in all directions.

"Capture the horse."

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Li Xiao quickly issued an order. He saw exactly three horses on the stable beside him, one for each person.

Shigang Yiyu succeeded with a single knife, and immediately rushed past, with the sword up and down, beheading three Zuike in a row.

Seeing that Shigang Yiyu's swordsmanship was so high, the rest of them suddenly dispersed.

not good.

Li Xiao secretly said.

At this time, one of Ranwen Novels flees to the stable, his purpose is to grab a horse and escape, wanting to **** a horse.

The chasing soldiers are approaching, and the horse is one less.

Li Xiao threw the samurai sword in his hand, but told the other party to pass by, instead, he took this opportunity to jump directly on the horse.

The opponent patted the horse with his hand and escaped hastily on the road.

"gun"

Li Xiao shouted.

Shigang Yiyu had already taken out a small-caliber iron cannon filled with ammunition, and set the fire rope on the torch.

Li Xiao took the iron cannon, then grabbed a horse and ran after him directly.

Soon after, Shigang Yiyu and the others only heard the sound of an iron cannon with a horse in the middle.

After that, Li Xiao sat down with a horse in his hand, and returned with another horse.

Seeing this Shioka Kazuha could not help but smile.

Takeda Katsurai couldn't help but say in surprise: "Li Xiao, the iron cannon can also be used immediately."

Li Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, but you can't shoot like bow arrow, you can only hit one, but you can kill with one shot."

Li Xiao thought of the provocation of the hunting ground that day. If he had an iron cannon in his hand, he would naturally kill the wild boar.

Immediately Li Xiaoyan said: "His Royal Highness, we have exposed our whereabouts, let's go quickly, otherwise the chasing soldiers will come up."

Then Li Xiao looked at it again, staring at Shinsuke who was holding the iron gun in his hand, and said loudly: "This is His Royal Highness Suwa Katsurai."

After hearing this, Xinsuke hurriedly bowed and said: "It turns out that it is His Royal Highness Shiro, the villain is sincere and frightened."

Li Xiaoyan said: "You run away quickly. We are not allowed to reveal our trip to Tibet. After we go to Fanfu Township in peace, you can come to your Highness to take effect and officially become a samurai."

Xinsuke was delighted when he heard it, and said loudly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Sir."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, the three of them got on their horses again. From here to Fanfu Township, it would take less than an hour to ride a full gallop.

It's time to try this luck and see if they can beat the chaser and arrive safely.

At that time, Li Xiao, Takeda Katsurai, Shioka Kazuyu and the others rode their horses and spurred their whip, and went all the way on the road.

Shinsuke was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "I actually saw His Royal Highness Shiro. This is a famous general with His Highness Huihu. If I become his samurai in the future, it can't be..."

Thinking of this, an uncontrollable joy rushed to his forehead.

"I'm there."

Shinsuke jumped up and danced, frantic for a while, then realized something, quickly glanced around, and then took the path and escaped.

Right now, he should go home and tell his wife that this good news is important, and of course he must save his life.

Soon after Shinsuke left, there were hundreds of people on the mountain road, uniformly dressed in red armor, and menacing horseback warriors arrived.

One of the leading samurai, looking at the dead body on the side of the checkpoint, and the blood stains, turned the whip towards Takeda Katsuyori, and Li Xiao pointed at them on the road ~lightnovelpub.net~ said: "Rebel, In this direction, follow me. No matter life or death, there will be great rewards."

"Oh"

The red cavalry suddenly agreed.

Immediately, they spurred their whips and chased in the direction of the road together.

At the same time.

In the main castle of the Anayama family, the lower mountain hall.

Anatoyama Shin-kun sat cross-legged in the residence, and opposite him sat a monk in black.

Nobuyuki Anyama frowned as if he was making a difficult decision.

The black-clothed monk said: "Master Anastasia, based on the relationship between the Anastasia family and my Imagawa family, and the friendship between Master Anastasia and His Highness Yixin, there is nothing suspicious about this, but in a sentence, your Excellency Would you like to lend it to us, let our Imagawa family send troops from Hanoi to Jiafei to help His Highness Yixin stabilize the situation and quell the rebellion?". ..
