Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1532 1504. Dao San What did you call her? !

This greatly relieved the sensitive nerves of the defenders of Lushan City.

After all, in a chaotic world, a team of cavalry rushed to the city gate. Anyone would be nervous, wondering if the country they were in had suddenly changed.

So much so that before any news was passed, someone had already laid siege to the city.

Although Saito Dosan should have received the notice from Ando Morinari, the details were not clear.

But Hanbei didn't want to do anything at this time.

Under the leadership of Hanbei, the group went directly to the castle tower after entering the city.

In a guest room on the lower floor of the castle tower, Hanbei took off his armor and asked everyone to wash and rest, preparing to meet the city lord immediately afterwards.

Lan En put the Sword of the Lake Girl on the weapon rack in the guest room as a token of his appreciation.

This is a divine weapon, and according to the legend of the Lady of the Lake, the Sword of the Lady of the Lake, which was bestowed by her, will not be lost from the hands of a knight with five virtues.

The rest of the people were also sorted out under the care of Hanbei.

Fujikichiro was visibly worried and a little excited at this time.

"Master Dao San, Master Dao San!" He paced on the tatami in the room and kept muttering. "This is a good opportunity to make a name for myself and let the adults remember me! Cheer up. Cheer up! Oh!!!"

For some reason, he suddenly got excited.

[Divine Monkey] also suddenly appeared at his feet, and cooperated with him to raise his hands to the sky and shout.

Ah Xiu was as calm as ever.

She was struggling whether to put the short knife on her waist here.

Although according to the rules, they should not carry weapons, but this short knife has always been with her.

"Don't want to put it far away?" Lan En immediately saw the thoughts of this half-demon who had been in closer contact with him in the past few days, and he stretched out his hand.

"If you can't put this knife down, why not put it here with me?"

Lan En pointed to the alchemical leather bag on his waist.

Ah Xiu's eyes lit up and handed the dagger over.

'Does she trust me too much? '

Lan En suddenly thought, but his hand took the dagger in the snakeskin sheath smoothly and put it in his alchemical leather bag.

And Hanbei, who had already changed into his pink haori, knelt on the side and smiled gently at everyone.

Even Fujikichiro, who had only been in contact for a few days, felt that 'Hanbei seemed to have known him for a long time'.

"Okay, everyone." Hanbei saw that everyone was ready, and then he stood up and said, "Please follow me. Meet the third master."

Walking up all the way, the castle tower of Lushan Castle is not only larger than that of Iwamura Castle, but also more spacious inside.

Along the way, people of lower status in the corridor would quickly move to the wall or corner when they saw Hanbei, then kneel down on one knee and bow their heads.

Although Hanbei was still very young, he could not be low in Mino Province because of his in-laws and the original reputation of the Takenaka family.

Therefore, many people did this along the way.

After reaching the upper floors of the castle tower, many samurai of advanced age were seen. They just nodded slightly to Hanbei.

These people should be the personal troops and hatamoto samurai of Saito Dosan.

They had been following him since before he became famous, so of course they could treat Hanbei with equal eyes. On the contrary, young samurai should bow to them.

Lan En walked behind Hanbei, but his ears fluttered slightly. He vaguely heard something interesting among the many hatamoto samurai on these floors.

"The one who came to report the news turned out to be Chuye Yashu. It's really fate."

"Yes, you miss him, right?"

"Hey, since you have followed Master Dosan for so many years, what's the point of saying you miss him or not?"

"I'm curious, what expression did Dosan have when he saw that little girl, haha!"

The voice must have come from the hatamoto samurai distributed on the floors of the castle tower, but there are not many of them. It should be only these guards who really blocked the sword for Saito Dosan on the battlefield who dared to call him that.

Or was it because of the gathering and discussion that Lan En was able to identify this information.

Chuye Yashu?

Hanbei did say that Iwamura Castle had sent someone to say hello in advance. He set off at the same time as him, and he didn't have to go to the Thirteen Sakura Village. It was reasonable for him to arrive first.

But did this let Wuming come?

And Saito Dosan's hatamoto old samurai. It sounds like even he himself, are related to Chuye Yashu?

After hearing these words, he also walked to the top floor of the castle tower.

The young man kneeling by the door opened the sliding doors on both sides and made a "please" gesture to everyone.

The room was very dim, because the primary purpose of the castle tower was still military, so lighting and comfort had to be put on the back burner.

The biggest difference from the castle tower of Iwamura Castle, apart from the specifications, was that it was decorated like a Buddhist temple.

Two fierce-looking Niou statues were placed on the left and right, and behind them seemed to be a statue of Guanyin.

But in such a Buddhist temple arrangement, a small bonfire was set up in the middle of the hall, and the plump and greasy meat pieces were skewered on several wooden sticks and roasted by the bonfire.

"Gulp~"

Fujikichiro swallowed hard.

It's not that he was hungry after seeing the skewers, but he was swallowing nervously.

He is indeed a rare businessman who can know and discover spiritual stones. But he only has these abilities. He himself has neither a noble family background nor the wealth of big businessmen.

Saito Dosan ordered him to do it because he was easy to use.

He said that he was working for Saito Dosan, but in the past, whether he could meet the former daimyo of Mino depended on his own wishes.

How could he look up to Fujiyoshiro?

In this era, although the small places in Japan are divided into large and small countries, many countries are as big as county towns.

But they have little land and few people, and the divisions and barriers between classes are no less.

Do you really think that any businessman can meet a daimyo?

'Master Dosan is very majestic and has a gloomy personality, but he is a monk after all. After a few years of self-cultivation, he should be much better than before. '

Fujiyoshiro thought in a mess.

"Don't be rude, don't be rude! But I have to show my own value and ability to be valued! Whether it's valued by Lord Dao San or Lord Lan En!"

To be honest, Fujikichiro now actually doesn't know what role Lan En, the nobleman, plays in Saito Dao San's eyes, and doesn't know what he has gotten himself into.

But isn't that the case for small people? There are only a few opportunities to climb up in a lifetime, and if you can catch one, of course you have to rush up regardless of the consequences!

Be cautious, bold and careful. That's all he can do, and the rest of the success or failure is up to fate.

But for the sake of the [Divine Monkey] on him, Sanwang Gongen should also have mercy on him!

While he was muttering to himself, Fujikichiro turned his head inadvertently, and found that Lan En looked completely indifferent.

It seemed that the title of [Mino Viper] was nothing worth caring about to him.

He was kind enough to remind Lan En.

But then he turned his head and thought, he is a nobleman from the Ming Dynasty!

Even the horses and cats around him are nobles blessed by guardian spirits!

If they don't care, isn't that normal?

Now, Fujikichiro looked at Lan En with a little admiration and envy.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Admire Lan En's high skills and courage, and also envy his imaginary, Lan En's background from the Ming Dynasty.

"Speaking of Hanbei," while Fujikichiro was trembling and Hanbei was a little nervous, Lan En asked calmly, "Are you and Saito Dosan acquainted?"

"Acquaintances?" Hanbei smiled helplessly, "The Takenaka family is loyal to the Saito family, but when Dosan was maneuvering, I was still studying and practicing martial arts at home."

"This time, I came here on behalf of my father-in-law, so that I can be valued."

In other words, Hanbei was not familiar with Saito Dosan. After all, considering his age, he is already an ‘old generation’ lord.

I have more opportunities to hear stories about him than to meet him in person.

“Hmm.”

Just then, the side door of the hall opened, and a figure walked in under the dim light, mumbling.

From the sound, he seemed to be a very heroic man, very different from the general impression of the vicious and cruel [Mino Viper].

As he approached the bonfire in the middle of the hall where meat was roasted, his image began to become clear in the dimness.

This is a man wearing a blue and black kimono, and the texture of his clothes is very good.

The Mediterranean bald hairstyle, the beard and the remaining hair on the temples are connected together, and they look about the same length.

I don’t know if this hairstyle is because of the tonsure of the monk.

But the whole person’s face can be described as square and majestic, which is indeed worthy of this voice, but it doesn’t match the reputation spread outside.

Most of the noble families in Mino country back then were deceived by this upright and heroic appearance.

"I have already retired and become a monk, but there are still all kinds of messes coming to me."

He sat down cross-legged and propped up one knee against his arm.

He also pulled up a shiny skewer of meat from the campfire and ate it carelessly.

Saito Dosan glanced at several people calmly.

Of course, Lan En was the most eye-catching among them, while Xiu was still a little reluctant to contact people. She stood at the farthest point and could not even be seen by the lights.

After tearing off a large piece of meat on the skewer and swallowing it, Saito Dosan's originally casual expression suddenly became serious.

"What's going on? The messenger you sent over didn't say it clearly! He only said that Mino is now full of [filth], but it has been cleaned up."

"And, Hanbei of the Takenaka family, I heard that you are a very smart young man."

"Why? Didn't you think that it's time for Yoshitatsu to be in charge now, and that idiot Ando is now sending a messenger to contact me urgently. What will happen if this gets out?"

Hankei didn't even think about the suspicion of blood relatives.

But the current situation is of great importance, which is why he had to come.

Immediately, the young and handsome warrior bowed down: "This is an unwise move, but please be clear, Master Daosan! What we did is because there is no other way!"

"The previous messenger was just to prepare you in advance. Now, please let Mr. Lan En explain the whole situation to you."

"He was the first to discover, and also handled the key figure throughout the incident."

"He?" Saito Daosan looked at the tall man who hadn't spoken yet, and had dared to take care of himself. "Is there a little white face with a hook?"

Speaking of scornful words in his mouth, but that serious eyes could not be fake.

It seems that a person who likes to pick up others, and then look for opportunities like a snake.

Saito Dao San was trying to test Lan En, but his temptation had no effect, but let Lan En update his understanding of him.

Seeing that Bingbingwei had introduced himself as a middleman, Lan En no longer procrastinated, and simply said.

"This time has actually ended by me, but in the process of it, some phenomena are not normal."

"In order to convince you, we also brought relevant person's card here. Fujiro Jiro, and Show Chiyo."

Saito Koji just glanced for Fujiro.

But when Lan En shouted the 'art name' that he gave A Xiuqi, and turned back to say hello to the half -monster came up with some.

Axiu's hesitation pace is close to the shining place.

The cold white skin, which was originally hidden in the dimness, began to reveal in front of Saito Koosan.

Only for a moment!

Although Axiu's lower half of his face still has a ninja -like mask.

But Saito Dao San has suddenly opened up!

"You! What are you called her?!"
