Warring States Eagle

For several days in a row, the Luo family's territory was in full swing to recruit soldiers.

On this day, Onishi Kuniji, who was busy recruiting soldiers in Ye Takayama, came to the council hall of Kishigake Castle.This time he came to report to Zheng Liang the situation of recruiting soldiers in the past few days.

"How's the situation?" Zheng Liang asked while sitting on the main seat.

"Your Highness, since His Highness's reputation spread far and wide and our family won the conflict with Bodo, the recruiting effect is very good," said Onishi Guozhi happily. The recruiting plan is also about to be completed."

"Oh? So fast?" Zheng Liang didn't expect the effect to be so good.

"Yes, congratulations, Your Highness," said Onishi Kuniji congratulating him.

"Is there any other important business that you came here this time from Nodaka Town?" Zheng Liang asked with a nod.As a result of this kind of recruitment, it is only necessary to send a scout to send the letter. Since Daxi Guozhi came in person, it must be something urgent.

"Your Highness, we have recruited some outstanding warriors this time, and after discussing with the ministers and others, we have decided to recommend them to Your Highness," said Onishi Guozhi, handing a booklet to Zhengliang.

"Oh?" Zheng Liang immediately became interested.A samurai who can be recommended by Onishi Kuniji, Roshi Sasuke and others at the same time must have good ability.So Zheng Liang immediately opened the book and read it.

After a long time, Zhengliang closed the book again, and then asked Onishi Guozhi: "Have you checked out the details of these people? Can you trust them?"

"Your Highness, all investigations have been carried out, and the ministers have sent personnel to the birthplaces of these people to verify again. The results must be available within half a month," Onishi Guozhi replied.

"Well, tell me what you think," Zheng Liang nodded.

"Your Highness. The first thing recorded in the book is a samurai named Nobukage Kira, who was originally the son of the Tosa Kira family of Shikoku. Because of persecution, he fled to Karatsu. He originally planned to settle in Hakata. Due to the dispute over Hatata, they are stuck in Karatsu Bay," Onishi Kuniji said.

\

"Yes, Your Highness. According to the information obtained from the Kamiya family, the Motoyama family forces in the Tosa country are stepping up their raids on various families. The Kira family was in the Niyodo River for the Motoyama family Mototsu, who unfortunately passed away. Afterwards, Motoyama Moto Changed his name to Kira Maochen, and persuaded the remaining elders of the Kira family to become the head of the Kira family. It is said that the son of the Kira family disappeared after this incident. There are rumors that he was killed by the Motoyama family. There are also rumors that he took advantage of the confusion and escaped."

"So, this Kira Xuanjing is the escaped son of the Kira family?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Exactly, this time he escaped with his two wives. In addition, the minister also conducted an investigation on his two wives. The names are Xiaoxia and Cai Cai. It is exactly the same as the names of the two wives of the first son of the Kira family. .”

"Well, he seems to be a trustworthy person," Zheng Liang sighed.In history, the power of the Motoyama family in Tosa during this period was indeed as powerful as ever, and even Lao Tzu, the first relative of the Changzong family who unified the four countries in the future, had to rely on the same powerful Yiyi family at this moment.But who knew that the Ichijo family and the Benshan family, which are now called great powers, were destroyed one by one by this seemingly weak Changzong family?

"Your Highness, in order to express his determination to join our family, Nobuke Kira expressed his willingness to dedicate the family's treasured sword 'Sea Moon' to His Highness," Onishi Kuniji said.

"Hehe, I understand what you mean by Guozhi. My saber Ji Gangyi was indeed damaged in this battle. But now it has been handed over to the weapon workshop of Ye Gaoshan for repairs. It should be able to recover intact, even It may also exceed the original one, so this 'Sea Moon' doesn't have to be donated to the family," Zheng Liang said with a slight smile.

"This? Your Highness? Do you want to think about it again? This is also a manifestation of the loyalty of the retainers to the Patriarch," said Onishi Guozhi in a low voice.

In this chapter, you will fight with your hands)”

"Your Highness Gao Yi!" Onishi Guozhi said in admiration.

"Let's talk about the situation of other people," Zheng Liang continued to ask.

"The second person in the book is named Ueda Shinji, who used to be an Iga ninja who was good at disguising and hiding. Later, in order to pursue a higher level of martial arts, he escaped from Iga. While avoiding the pursuit of the Iga ninja, he To learn martial arts, Aguda once sparred with him, confirming that he is good at martial arts."

"Iga's ninja?" Masara asked suspiciously.Came to Hizen from such a far away place?

"Yes, in fact, there is ambiguity between the minister and others on whether to hire this person," Onishi Kuniji said.

"Is it because you are worried about offending the ninjas in Iga?" Masara asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, it is said that the ninjas in Iga are all people with outstanding abilities, so it is really unwise to fight against each other for no reason." Onishi Guoji obviously belongs to the side that disapproves.

"Hahaha" Zheng Liang laughed loudly when he heard the words, "It's okay, this person will stay. If even one ninja group is afraid, then why talk about the Luo family's martial arts prosperity?"

"This? Yes! Your Highness" seeing that the Patriarch had made up his mind, Daxi nodded in compromise.

"The third person in the book is named Fei Duan, a snitch. He is good at flying toads and walking around walls," Onishi Kuniji said.

"Snitch?" Zheng Liang looked at Onishi Guozhi suspiciously and confirmed.

"Yes, Your Highness," Onishi Kuniji said with a strange expression, "He was captured by a mysterious master during a night attack on a beautiful woman, and then sent by the villagers to the Bodo samurai in charge of security to wait for disposal. The result was just right. Encountered a conflict between the main family and Bodo, and escaped while taking advantage of the chaos."

"Did he explain this matter himself?" After hearing this, Zheng Liang's doubts not only did not lessen, but even aggravated.

"Ahem, Your Highness, that's exactly the case," said Onishi Kuniji, dumbfounded.

"What is the meaning of attacking a woman at night? And who is that mysterious master?" Zheng Liang asked.

"It is said that following a beautiful woman at night caused the other party's misunderstanding. It attracted the siege of the villagers, and when they fled, they encountered a mysterious master and were caught by mistake."

"Since he is good at flying toads, he is subdued even when he walks over walls. Then that master must have extraordinary martial arts skills. Do you have any information about that mysterious master?" Zheng Liang asked.

"It's a pity, Your Highness," Onishi Kuniji said shaking his head.

"If that's the case, forget it. But this Fei Duan warrior seems to be particularly attracted to beautiful women. He can stay, but he will be trained in the barracks first." Zheng Liang said with a frown.He didn't want his retainers to be fooled by the woman at the critical moment.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"How many people seem to be in the book just now?" Zheng Liang continued to ask.

"Yes, Your Highness. There are two other people. One of them is called Uemura Motozuna, a native of Kai country. He once learned swordsmanship from the swordsmanship master Uemizuna Hidetsuna in the same country Guixuanyu Shangquan City outside the Great Hucheng City in Ueno, Kanto. After that Abandoning the sword and practicing the spear. Quite brave." Onishi Guozhi hurriedly continued to report.

"Shangquan Xiugang?" Zheng Liang was taken aback when he heard the name.Isn't this the famous sword master Umizumi Nobuzuna in the future?According to the current time, he is indeed the successor of the Yin-style orthodox Aizhou Yixiang Sai Jiuzhong, and he is already quite famous in the local area. Later, it became the No. 1 of "Sixteen Guns in Nagano", which completely established its reputation.After the demise of the Nagano family, he changed his official position to the Takeda family.Later, in order to prepare for kendo practice, Takeda Shingen divided himself into the word "Xin" and Xiugang, and returned to Quan Xiugang in zi you.Since then, Umizumi Hidetsuna changed his name to Umizumi Nobuzuna, and began his legendary journey as a sword master.

"Your Highness, is this person very famous?" Seeing Zhengliang's surprised expression, Onishi Guozhi asked suspiciously.

"Yeah." Zhengliang nodded. Now Nobuzuna Umizumi is not completely famous, and there are indeed not many people who know him. "If that's the case, then this person will stay."

"The other person, named Tetsunosuke, is a samurai who wields double knives. He is extremely brave. He once beheaded five heads in a conflict between the Niko family and the Mori family." After bowing to accept the order.Onishi Guozhi finally reported.

"Well, these people are accepted, and they are temporarily arranged in the barracks, and they will be used after their loyalty is confirmed," Zheng Liang said with a nod.

"Yes, Your Highness, within half a month, the ministers will be able to thoroughly investigate their details," Onishi Guozhi ordered.

Then Zhengliang discussed some recruitment details with Onishi Kuniji.In the end, Onishi Kuniji set off for Nodaka Town with Masara's order.

Not long after Onishi Guozhi left, Takekichi Murakami suddenly came to report, saying that it was Akabane Nobunosuke outside the door asking to see him.

"Akabane Nobunosuke?" Masato asked suspiciously.Is this guy finally back?

In fact, on the second day of the vassal meeting, Akabane Shinnosuke proposed to Masara to visit Xiaocheng County on the other side of Lion City.According to the law of the Luo family, no one is allowed to leave the territory of the Luo family without the permission of the owner.Moreover, Shinnosuke Akabane had just joined the Luo family not long ago, and he had not yet been fully recognized by other retainers, so during this period of time, he should stay by Masaragi's side and work hard to gain the recognition of others.

After seeing that Akabane Shinnosuke's trip this time was obviously on an important matter, Masara let him go in line with the principle of no doubt about the employment.In my heart, I thought that Akabane Shinnosuke would not come back without a half month, but he came back in less than four days.

In the meeting hall of "My servant pays homage to His Highness", Akabane Shinnosuke respectfully performed a retainer's gift to Masara.

"Speak. This time you left suddenly, there must be something urgent. Now that you come back suddenly, it seems that the matter has been dealt with." Zheng Liang straightened his body and said.

"Your Highness, before I report the results of this trip to you, please meet the guest brought by me first," Akabane Shinnosuke said mysteriously.

"Guest? Okay, let him in," Zheng Liang said doubtfully.

Soon a young man walked in.

"Executing the species and paying homage to His Highness" the visitor respectfully saluted.
