Warring States Eagle

Chapter 116 Keepers

While tasting the green wine, he carefully listened to the topics of the rogues around him. Soon the whole morning was about to pass. Under Yinuo's repeated persuasion, Zheng Liang gave up his plan to settle his lunch in the tavern (the main concern was that someone would drink food during the meal. poison, and the food in the tavern is not very good, usually just a few pieces of radishes, a few bowls of porridge or rice with mixed grains), and started to set off to rush back to the residence of Shengfu Temple.

When a group of people came to a street, they found that the front was blocked by a large group of people, and they couldn't move forward for a while. "Go and see what's going on," Zheng Liang ordered.A cloaked crowd dressed as a samurai behind him immediately led the way.

After a while, the cloaked crowd who went to investigate the situation came back, "Your Highness, there is a teenager begging with his sick mother and younger sister in front of him."

"Begging?" Zheng Liang felt very strange after hearing this.In fact, Zheng Liang saw many beggars along the way, and these people were all beggars because they lost their fields or had no way to continue their families.So why does such a common thing attract so many people's attention now?

"The boy was going to sell himself as a slave in order to heal his mother and keep his sister from starving to death. But the boy's appearance was really not very good. Instead, someone fell in love with his sister. Now there is a buyer who is going to buy it by force. , that boy refused to agree, so the two sides fought," the cloaked crowd continued to report.

"Huh?" Zheng Liang began to find this thing interesting.In the current era, the rich and powerful are all masculine, and even regard masculinity as a fashion.It seems that the buyer planned to buy the boy back for this special hobby, but after seeing the boy's appearance and the boy's sister, he changed his mind and tried to grab the boy's sister.

Thinking of this, Zheng Liang waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's go ahead and have a look." After speaking, he walked forward first, and the people behind immediately dispersed, guarding Zheng Liang in the central yang.

Soon, Zhengliang and the others came to the periphery of the crowd. Since they were taller than most people in this era, Zhengliang could easily see the situation on the other side of the crowd.

I saw a young man who looked a bit thin and was having a great time fighting with several men.On the ground beside the street, a middle-aged woman was lying on her back on a pile of thatch, she looked very sick, and beside the middle-aged woman was a shivering little girl curled up in a ball.

"Hey, boy, are you looking for death? Come on, all of you, beat him to death." A short man in his 30s pulled out his sword not far away, and yelled at several servant-like guys behind him.

"I don't sell my sister, if you rob my sister, I will fight with you," the boy shouted while resisting the attacks of several men.

"Hey, giving you 50 coins is already cheap for you, but you still don't want to sell it? Listen, put some strength in your hands and beat him to death quickly," the dwarf said arrogantly.The status of warriors is much more respected than that of civilians, and no one cares about killing a few civilians casually.

"Yu Liulang, we're here to help you. Kill!" Just as the servants behind the dwarf were about to join the camp that besieged the boy, 5 or 6 little beggars in ragged clothes emerged from the crowd. Holding a stick, he joined the youth's formation.

"Wild children from there. Leave them alone, and kill those who get in your way," the dwarf ordered.After hearing the words, the servant behind him immediately geared up and prepared to perform well in front of his employer.

"Let's do it, teach them a lesson." At this time, Zheng Liang had already arrived in front of the crowd of onlookers under the escort of several cloaked people.

Originally, Zheng Liang was behind the crowd, but when several cloaked crowd with samurai swords escorted Zheng Liang and squeezed forward, the crowd in front of them automatically gave way, and Zheng Liang easily passed through the crowd.When he saw a few children at a disadvantage, he was urged by the morality of later generations, and Zheng Liang made the decision to drive out the wicked.

After receiving the order, several cloaked people immediately drew out their samurai swords and rushed towards the dwarf aggressively.Seeing this, the man who was beating up the children immediately retreated in front of the dwarf.

"Who are you? Aren't you afraid of offending the Harada family?" Seeing a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appearing, the dwarf immediately accused him sternly.

<The real lineage now controls the area in the west near the mountains, and controls Gaozu Mountain Castle, which is an important passage from Chikuzen Kingdom to Higo.He didn't expect to offend a powerful family by meddling in his own business, Zheng Liang was a little depressed.Looking carefully at the dwarf again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. In my memory, the current head of the Harada family should be Takashi Harada, and his age should be in his 20s. At least the dwarf in front of him looks at least in his 30s, so he must not be Takashi Harada myself.

"Hmph, I'm scared. To tell you the truth, Gaozu Mountain City Lord Harada Takashiro is the uncle's nephew, so he has to leave quickly, and the uncle wants to take the little beauty back to enjoy it?" The short man was taken aback when he saw Zhengliang, thinking that Zhengliang Frightened, he continued to speak arrogantly.

"Where are the savages here pretending to be members of the famous Harada family? And openly robbing the women? They really deliberately tarnish the reputation of the Harada family. Come here, beat me hard." Zheng Liang couldn't help laughing when he heard that Drink replied.People in their 30s are planning to spoil a 10-year-old loli?It's okay if I don't give you a good lesson.

"Okay, very good! Just wait, I will definitely come back. And you guys, what are you looking at, I will settle the score with you when I come back." The hero did not suffer from the immediate loss, but the dwarf saw that everyone on the other side was carrying weapons, And they were all strong and strong, turned around and left in a dejected manner, and did not forget to point at the crowd around them arrogantly once before leaving.The surrounding crowd dispersed immediately.

"Thank you for saving my life, my lord." After waiting for the shorty and his group to leave, the boy dragged his sister and a few little beggars to kowtow to Zheng Liang.

"What's your name?" Zheng Liang looked at the boy in front of him with interest and asked.Resisting the attacks of several adults with one's own strength, although a bit disheartened, but the bravery is indeed worthy of praise.

"The villain Iyokuni Kuna, the son of Kuna Toshiyō of the Fujiwara family of Kuna in Iyo country, is the son of Kuna and Rokuro." Hearing Zheng Liang's question about his background, the young man immediately replied with his chest straightened out.

Sudden connection?The boy's reply reminded Zhengliang of a person, who was also named Huna Tongzhuo, and his father was also named Huna Tongcheng.But they should all be retainers of the Kono family in the Iyo country now, and suddenly Natong will be the navy general of the Kono family in the future, and together with Tomoyasu Kurishima and Takekichi Murakami, they have fought against the navy of the Otomo family and the Oda family.Is this Kunatsuto in front of him a retainer of the Kono family?Thinking of this, Zhengliang decided to confirm, "Is it the Kuna clan of the Kono family?"

When the young man heard about the Kono family, he was startled for a moment, then leaned over and said, "The villain is the original retainer of the Kono family. He has already left."

"Ah?" Zheng Liang was taken aback. How could there be such a big difference from the historical records? According to the records, the current Kuna Tong should be less than 16 years old, and he has become the new governor of the Kuna family. .

"My lord, this is how it happened." Seeing that Zhengliang clearly understood the situation of the Kono family, Kunatsu, who originally planned to keep secret about his own background, decided to speak frankly and tell his story in detail.

It turns out that Huna Tongzhuo, who was the eldest son of the Huna family, was indeed planning to take over the post of family governor after his father died, but he did not expect that his half-brother secretly joined forces with the family retainers to rebel and forcibly captured the family governor.Of course, his second brother didn't kill them all. After becoming the head of the family, he just ordered Hu Natong to move out of Yiyo country, otherwise he would be killed without mercy.Furious, Hu Natong decided to go to the main house Kono's house to appeal, but unexpectedly, the door was closed, and he had no choice but to take his mother and younger sister across the ocean in the only boat donated by his second brother. After a while, I came to Bodo.Unfortunately, just after arriving in Bodo, Hunatongsuo's mother contracted a cold and became ill.After spending all the valuable things on his body, Hu Natong's mother still didn't get better, and his younger sister fainted several times because he had nothing to eat for a long time. In desperation, Huna Tongzhuo decided to sell himself as a slave to treat the sick The mother and the sister who were suffering from hunger and hunger, so there was today's scene.Now that Zhengliang mentioned the Kono family, suddenly Natong couldn't help becoming angry again.It is no wonder that Kunatsu was so angry. According to historical records, Kunatsu was loyal to the Kono family. He didn't surrender to Changzong's family, but now his master's family and his younger brother have usurped the position of the master. It is conceivable that Huna was angry in his heart.

Zheng Liang didn't expect to meddle in other people's affairs. Although he offended a powerful man, he also met a future navy general. He couldn't help being overjoyed, "Would you like to be my little surname?"

"My lord", Natong suddenly looked at his mother and younger sister behind him, and at the few little beggars who risked their lives to help, he hesitated for a moment.He wanted to ask Zheng Liang to accept these people at the same time, but he was afraid of arousing Zheng Liang's dissatisfaction, thinking that he was too greedy, so he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing Hu Na's normal expression, Zheng Liang smiled slightly. He was indeed a kind and righteous person. He wanted to save his relatives, but he couldn't bear to abandon his partners who shared weal and woe with him. After becoming a retainer, at least he didn't have to worry too much about rebellion.It's not that Zhengliang is worrying about nothing. Some policies that Zhengliang will implement in the future will greatly damage the interests of some existing forces. Therefore, Zhengliang urgently needs to cultivate retainers who accept his ideas and are loyal to him.

"Hehe, in this way, I will take you as my surname, I will cure your mother's illness, and your younger sister will directly become a maid in my mansion. As for your companions," Zheng Liang looked at the children behind him. Beggars, a total of 8 people, 5 are boys around 11 or 12 years old, and 3 are little girls around 7 or 8 years old. "Boys become my servants, and girls also become maids in my mansion." The few women in the family are about to be promoted to wives, and these little girls happen to be the servants of the mansion, while those little boys will be trained as relative warriors of the Luo family.Now that Zheng Liang saved their lives in danger, these little guys must have been deeply grateful.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord," several little boys who had already experienced the cold and warm of the world immediately took the lead in thanking them loudly.

Looking at the children kowtowing in front of him, Zheng Liang couldn't help sighing, "Prosperity, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer, the rise and fall of the world has become dust."
