Sanai, who was originally decisive and bold, became a little worried about gains and losses after receiving Kazuyo Sorayama's promise. People's moods are completely different when they have nothing and when they are about to get something. This also applies to Kazuyo Sorayama.
Although he does not know the wedding etiquette of this era and this world, it is still necessary to go to the woman's house to ask the elders to entrust their daughter to him before the two get married. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a first-class elopement?
However, after Chiba Sana's persuasion, he finally gave up this very dangerous idea. Once he meets Chiba Shusaku, he may not be afraid of the shogunate, but the Chiba family will be affected! This is also the case with Sorayama Kazuha
One of the risks that must be faced in conjunction.
"Zana..." Kazuyo Sorayama stroked her hair guiltily.
"Korayama-kun, being with you is the most important thing to me. I heard that in ancient times, there was a man and a woman who loved each other. The man was recruited by the daimyo to fight in a fatal war, and because he did not want to drag the woman down, he prepared
He quietly left the village in the early morning, only to find that the woman was already waiting for him at the entrance of the village in her wedding dress. The two got married in front of the horse head. There was no news from her husband for several years, but the woman always believed that her husband would come home one day. Later, the war ended
, the husband who narrowly escaped death was also made a general by the daimyo, and the two lived happily ever after. Everyone called this union a "horse head marriage". Although there was no blessing from relatives and friends, it was still a marriage blessed by God. Sorayama
Jun, we will definitely be happy." Chiba Sana said softly, looking at her beloved man lovingly.
In this situation, what else could Sorayama Kazuyo say? He grabbed the beautiful woman, covered her cherry red mouth with his lips, and launched a rare offensive. The girl's juice was like flower dew and milk,
Sweet and fragrant, it is actually more intoxicating than the best wine...
Until he returned to the hall, Sana's face was still pink from his neck to his cheeks. It was already time to eat, but both Master and Disciple Higu and Kiriko seemed to be a little later than usual. Kazuyo Sorayama was also happy to be alone with Sana.
, just as the two were getting closer and closer, and seemed to be sticking together again, a special guest was welcomed in front of the Hiden Mitsurugi Ryuzan Gate. It was the Mitakaban ninja who was spared by Sorayama Kazuha, the boss of Aoiya.
, Weng.
Without a wall, of course, there would be no gate, and there would be no apprentice to greet the guests. Weng had no choice but to walk towards the main hall of the largest hut. Kazuha Sorayama, who had already sensed someone coming, was sitting upright when he saw this unexpected person.
As a guest, he couldn't help but mocked impatiently: "Oh? It's you. I always thought that you ninjas like to operate at night. It's still early now, and besides... I didn't expect that you would dare to go up the mountain to look for me.
, aren’t you afraid that if I’m in a bad mood, I’ll use your sacrificial knife?”
The middle-aged ninja respectfully took off his straw sandals and stepped onto the steps. He bowed at the door and then knelt down and said sincerely: "I'm actually here for a visit. I specially brought you the Jiang Jiang stored in the store for you."
Tomeishu, by the way, convey the secret order of the shogunate."
"Secret order? Haha, what confidence does the shogunate have to order me? I'm not interested in the affairs of the shogunate. Please keep the wine and you can leave." Sorayama Kazuha said coldly. If it weren't for the ninja in front of him, he wouldn't be like this.
His whereabouts were easily exposed, and although the final result was that he gained a peerless beauty, he still resented the despicable practices of the shogunate.
"Lord Sorayama has misunderstood. This time there is not only the attitude of the shogunate towards you, but also the private instructions of the old man Abe Masahiro. The shogunate has issued a secret order to inform you that as long as you do not participate in the rebellion of the Choshu Domain rebels, you will not be pursued again.
For all the sins you have committed, I am willing to provide you with a monthly salary."
Seeing Kazuyo Sorayama wanting to speak sarcastically, Ong Mata hurriedly said: "In addition, Lao Naka-sama has asked us to convey the message in a private name to the shogunate, even if you return to Edo again, as long as you don't show up with any fanfare.
Just pretend that nothing has happened. By the way, Lao Zhong has secretly sent people to renovate the ruined temple in the mountains of Kai, and has prepared enough wine for you to drink for three years in the ground next to the courtyard."
"What? Sorayama, you're crazy! Kenshin, clean up, we're moving to another place! I've known you for so long, and this is the only good news!" Higurashi Seijuro's loud, slightly sarcastic voice came through the old man's room.
The news reached the ears of everyone in the room. Kazuha Sorayama, who had long been accustomed to being teased by his friends, didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Weng beside him was secretly frightened.
Who in Japan would not feel fear upon hearing Kazuyo Sorayama's name? Even His Highness, a powerful shogun, is unwilling to mention it. So what is the basis for this figure who dares to openly ridicule the swordsman who has a bad temper?
I couldn't help but turn around and look, and I was immediately attracted by the aura of Juro Seijuro, who was even more powerful than before.
Master! Is this person who looks more imposing than Sorayama Kazuha the current leader of the Hiten Mitsurugi style, Hiko Seijuro? Why is there so little information about him? If you can buy it off... No, if you can convince him to serve as the shogunate
Effectiveness, what is the threat of Kazuyo Sorayama? What is the threat of those traitors... The ninja who was constantly calculating in his heart was glad that he came in person regardless of the danger, and finally gained a huge harvest.
Hiko came closer, his head almost touching the door frame. He looked condescendingly at Weng, who was kneeling beside him, and his expression gradually turned cold: "But...since the shogunate is willing to spend ten times the effort to repair an unmanned temple and bury fine wine,
, why not distribute this money and food to the farmers in the mountains who are about to starve to death? Hmm? Guys like Sorayama Kazuha, even if they live in a shabby house and drink bad wine, they have enough food and clothing despite the weather, but they were made homeless by the shogunate
How many refugees take their last breath of hunger every day! Did you know that the wild dogs in the Kai mountains are all fat and strong, but their eyes are green, and they have plenty of human flesh to eat! They sit on the corpses of the people and eat them
Shogunate, how are you different from wild dogs?!"
Every time Higu Seijuro said something, Ong's face turned uglier. His plan to bribe Higu was stillborn before it could be formed. Moreover, didn't he know what Higu said? As an imperial court who knows the world
A high-ranking official of Fanzhong, he knows better than anyone else what a cruel world people live in today, but he is just a ninja, and his lifelong mission is to protect the ninjas of the shogunate...
"Calm down, Hiko, it's useless. Ong, go back and tell the shogunate that I, Sorayama Kazuyo, can do whatever I want and go wherever I want. I don't associate with those so-called Changzhou rebels because I'm bored.
I don’t go back to Edo because there is nothing for me to remember there. Do you really think I am afraid of the shogunate? I want to go, but the shogunate can’t stop me. I want to leave, but the shogunate can’t stop me. Why do I need a gift from the shogunate? It seems that my sword is not
I haven’t let the shogunate know who I am! How long can I dominate a place with such a concentration of idiots?"
These arrogant and domineering words made everyone in the room excited. Although Weng was frightened, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: The Sword Master is the Sword Master, and he deserves his reputation!
But...such talents are either hidden in the barren mountains, such as the Hiko Seijuro in front of them; or they are hostile to or even against the shogunate, such as the sword master Sorayama Kazuha. If the shogunate can get the effectiveness of such talents, where will it be?
What kind of rebellion are you afraid of? In other words, where can there be rebellion?
Maybe...the shogunate is really on the verge of death?
