Chapter 1081 The Ouchi Family and the Tao Family
"Why do I feel like I've seen this thing in some indescribable movies?"
Li Hanxing touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "But I have heard of a cloak with this effect before. It is said that this kind of cloak is related to the author of the "Necronomicon", but he doesn't know where to find it.
A strange kind of fur was brought, and then a cloak was made through a special process that can make the wearer lose his sense of existence. However, the effect of this cloak is not that mysterious. It can only be obvious in places with many people.
Effect."
"A place with a lot of people? What is this? When there are a lot of people, as long as I'm not specifically looking for someone, I almost don't care what the people passing by look like." Yin En asked with some confusion: "But what if
If it can really be related to the author of the "Necronomicon", then I will still believe that this cloak can indeed reduce the wearer's sense of presence, and the material of this cloak can also be determined to be that of a ghoul."
Li Hanxing shrugged and continued: "Although we generally don't pay special attention to strangers when there are many people, if there is only one person wearing an unseasonal cloak in the crowd, then this person will still be very conspicuous.
, but it turns out that only one or two people among a hundred people will notice this cloaked man, and as there are fewer and fewer people around, more and more people will notice this cloaked man; of course, I did not
There is no guarantee that this story is true. After all, the title of "Necronomicon" is quite famous, so many strange legends have been placed on Alhassad's head."
Zhang Jingxu smiled, shook his head and said: "Let's get back to the topic. This cloak is actually the deposit prepared by Shimadzu Hiromichi. After the event is completed, he will pay us another reward, and Shimadzu Nakano should
They will also give us something, so on the surface we are guaranteed to make a profit, so should we agree to Hiromichi Shimazu?"
As soon as Zhang Jingxu said this, the tent fell silent for an instant, because everyone present was a little unsure of what Shimazu Hiromichi wanted to do.
However, there is one thing that Liu Xing and others can agree on, that is, this matter should not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
"Be sure to have a steady hand when things are in doubt. If Shimazu Jōmichi is not anxious for us to give a reply, then we should wait until the things in Nagoya are finished, and then wait until we return to Osaka to make a decision, or let's go and see him first
Meet Shimazu Nakano?" Liu Xing said seriously: "No matter what, we must first determine one thing, that is, whether the relationship between Shimazu Nakano and Shimazu Hiromichi has really reached a freezing point."
"Then let's be on the safe side first. Shimazu Jomichi didn't ask us to give him an immediate answer. He just said that we can call Shimazu Hiromichi after we think about it." Yin En said.
As a result, Liu Xing and others unanimously decided not to reply to Hiromichi Shimazu for the time being.
Then, Yin En talked about the current situation in Nagoya.
After the secret game last night, the public faction had completely withdrawn from Nagoya City. Some insiders of the samurai faction even claimed that members of the public faction had begun to return to their respective homes.
Regarding this point, Momota Ikihito believed that the members of the public faction were probably setting off smoke bombs, because they would not be able to give up the battleground of Nagoya so easily, even if they really got the small hammer.
After all, the public faction did not lose too many men last night, so there was no need for them to retreat.
However, Momota Ikihito did not miss this opportunity. He immediately arranged for his men to take over the territory of the public faction, and also sent more informants to monitor the dynamics of the public faction.
Therefore, this is also the main reason why Liu Xing and others can sleep so comfortably, because an extraordinary meeting that was originally scheduled to be held this morning was directly cancelled.
"Then what tasks do we have next?"
Liu Xing took the buffet he had just picked up and said, "Hakuta Inghito should have put aside his prejudice against us, right?"
Zhang Jingxu nodded, and then said helplessly: "Yes, Momota Shenghi now regards us as his own, but his old friends don't think so, especially since the current situation is very beneficial to us, so they
He didn’t want us to stand up and take credit, so Momota sent someone over to apologize to us.”
Liu Xing sighed, feeling that this was expected, because no matter whether the public faction was preparing any conspiracy or not, it was an established fact that they had withdrawn from Nagoya City, so now there was only one choice before the military faction.
, that is to completely bring Nagoya City under its control.
No need to ask Liu Xing to know that reinforcements from Osaka are already on the way.
Therefore, now is a great time to grab credit. Who would be willing to share the benefits they have received?
However, those NPCs may not know that this credit is not important to their group, because the contribution that these credits can translate into is too little.
"By the way, although this morning's meeting was missed, there should be another one tonight, because the reinforcements from Osaka are already on the way. If nothing goes wrong, they will be in place this afternoon. However, I am from Ze
Tian Yayin got some good or bad news, that is, Shimazu Nakano arranged for his other nephew, Shimazu Nagano, to be the nominal person in charge of the reinforcements, and this Shimazu Nagano seemed to be the same as Shimazu Net.
The relationship between Tao and Dao is very bad, and we used to get into fights over some trivial matters." Yin En said, shaking his head.
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with some doubts: "Shimadzu Nakano should know that Shimazu Jodomichi is in Nagoya, right? Then why did he arrange for Shimazu Nagano to come to Nagoya again? Could it be that his idea was to let Shimazu Nagano and Shimazu
There was a conflict between Tsujomichi, and then he took the opportunity to attack Shimadzu Hiromichi? But this kind of treason is too obvious, isn't Shimadzu Nakano worried that his reputation will be damaged as a result?"
If Shimazu Nagano clashes with Shimazu Jodo in tonight's conference, then Shimadzu Nakano will be the most embarrassed, because anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that Shimadzu Nakano arranged all this.
"I think Shimadzu Nakano didn't intend for Shimazu Nagano to come to Nagoya to try his luck. Instead, he had to send Shimazu Nagano for another reason. For example, Shimadzu Nagano has an acquaintance in Nagoya? Or maybe he asked Shimazu to come to Nagoya.
Tsu Nagano came to make peace with Shimazu Jodo to express goodwill to Shimazu Hiromichi?" Zhang Wenbing said, touching his chin.
Liu Xing shrugged, spread his hands and said: "It seems that we can only wait until tonight to see Zhenzhang again, but this is also a good thing for us, we can use this to observe Shimazu Nakano and Shimazu
Hiromichi’s respective attitudes, after all, Shimazu Nagano and Shimazu Jomichi both know that each other is in Nagoya, and they will definitely ask Shimazu Hiromichi and Shimazu Nakano for their opinions before acting.”
Soon, the afternoon passed. Liu Xing and others did not volunteer to leave the underground base to do things, but stayed in their tents to play poker.
As a result, at six o'clock in the evening, an unexpected guest came outside the tent-Lao Wu.
Lao Wu was carrying a lacquer box that was almost half a meter high and said with a smile: "You guys haven't had dinner yet, right? So do you want to come and try my craftsmanship?"
He reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man, not to mention that the smiling man came to the door with a "gift", so Liu Xing, who came out to greet the guests, let Lao Wu in after hesitating for a moment.
As for Alice and others in the tent, they were also shocked by Lao Wu's formation, because no one expected that this underground base would provide takeout service.
"I am Ouchi Masaru from the Ouchi family. You can also just call me Lao Wu. I am very happy to meet you."
Looking at Lao Wu with a sincere face, Alice and others also introduced their homes one by one, and they were considered acquainted with Lao Wu.
In the process, Lao Wu opened the lacquer box and took out a variety of food, and then said: "This is my little touch, I hope you like it."
Liu Xing, who was standing next to Lao Wu, thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Lao Wu, this is the first time we have met you, right? Can you tell us why you did this? After all, there is no merit.
Lu."
Lao Wu didn't expect Liu Xing to get straight to the point, so after hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and said: "The truth is, I want to represent the Ouchi family. To be precise, it should be the direct descendants of the Ouchi family and the
You, the Sawada family, make a deal."
Liu Xing and others were stunned when they heard that Lao Wu said they wanted to do business, because Liu Xing and others did not expect that in just half a day, two groups of people would come to do business with them.
But having said that, Liu Xing happened to take the time to check the situation of Ouchi's family while playing cards in the afternoon, and found that the situation of Ouchi's family was quite interesting.
First of all, the Ouchi family claimed to be the descendants of the King of Baekje, which made the Ouchi family the most special daimyo family in the island country. However, the rise and decline of the Ouchi family came very quickly, especially in the end they almost disappeared from history.
.
Therefore, today's Ouchi family can no longer be described as a poor family, because the current Ouchi family is a very ordinary big family. Although there are several family businesses, the annual profits are enough to sustain the family.
Just expenses.
More importantly, the Ouchi family has not produced a single outstanding student in recent years, so its influence has been close to zero. Even the locals in the island country may not know that the Ouchi family still exists.
Therefore, Liu Xing is very curious now that Lao Wu represents the Ouchi family... Wait, Lao Wu only represents direct descendants of the Ouchi family?
What about the concubines of the Ouchi family?
Liu Xing thought about it carefully and then remembered that the common people of the Ouchi family were from the Tao family.
The Tao family and the Ouchi family have the same origin, and they have always served as the "guards" of the Ouchi family. After the Ouchi family became the daimyo family, the army of the Ouchi family was basically composed of the main members of the Tao family.
Serve as a general.
However, during the Warring States Period, because the head of the Ouchi family was obsessed with pleasure, Tao Qingxian, the head of the Tao family, decided to rebel, and finally succeeded in getting rid of the head of the Ouchi family, but it didn't take long for Tao Qingxian to fight against the Maori family.
At that time, he committed suicide because of his defeat. From then on, the Ouchi family and the Tao family withdrew from the stage of history.
From a certain perspective, Tao Qingxian not only betrayed his lord, but also his own family head. The most important thing is that he failed to lead the Tao family and the Da Nei family to become better, and even made the Tao family and the Da Nei family better.
The Ouchi family is on a road of no return.
Therefore, if the Tao family still exists today, they should have drawn a clear line with the Ouchi family long ago.
Wait a minute, is the deal that Lao Wu is planning to make with his group related to the Tao family?
"The thing is like this, I believe everyone should be aware of the conflict between the Tao family and our Da Nei family. Although our Da Nei family and their Tao family have become invisible to everyone over the years, there will still be some conflicts between the two parties.
, because our Ouchi family and their Tao family are both descended from the Duoduo family, so our two families occasionally meet each other. Originally, everyone was noisy, and everything was fine as long as we didn't do anything, but I am joining.
Later, the Wu family faction heard that the new head of their Tao family had defected to the Maori family. Isn’t this just recognizing a thief as his father?"
"Because of this, the Tao family has lost the last of its face. Therefore, the Tao family has been constantly provoking us in recent times, trying to make us admit that the Tao family and the Ouchi family are equals, not concubines.
Although so many years have passed, our Ouchi family has long been indifferent to the difference between direct and concubine, but this can be regarded as the last bit of dignity of our Ouchi family, so I want to find a reliable family to give our Ouchi family.
As a backer, we don’t have to look at the complacent faces of those in the Tao family."
Looking at the sincere Lao Wu, Liu Xing didn't know what to say for a moment... Now that your family and Tao family have become ordinary families, why do you still care about those false names? This is not possible
Let you regain your former glory.
However, Liu Xing also finds one thing very interesting, that is, the Tao family has never left the Da Nei family.
Could it be that even today's Tao family and Ouchi family want to keep their last trump card like the Oda family?
When Liu Xing was still thinking wildly, Zhang Jingxu said: "Our Zetian family is indeed capable of being the backer of your Ouchi family, but our Zetian family is not short of money, so I hope you, Lao Wu, can give us a satisfactory answer.
conditions of."
As we all know, Party A's "satisfaction" is like Schrödinger's cat. Until the last moment, you never know whether the conditions you give will satisfy Party A.
Therefore, the reason why Zhang Jingxu said this was to see what kind of trump card the Ouchi family, which had been unable to do for a long time, still had hidden.
Anyway, I won’t suffer any loss, so I will treat it as the meal money given to Lao Wu by my group.
