"If that's the case, please come with me!"
After confirming their identities, Kenichi Matsushita led the way.
Mitarou Kojima lowered his head slightly and followed closely behind. He was still shocked. 'This plot of land must be at least 1,000 dans, right? Moreover, with such a large crowd, it's a huge threat and hidden danger to my family … '
The Kojima family was the closest to Mount Tsukiyama, and they were a small wealthy family with only 1,000 dans. It was only natural for them to feel uneasy when they saw such a powerful neighbor rising.
And all of this was further amplified when he saw the Gui Family's Patriarch, Gui Yi's Dharma Eye.
The place where they were meeting was the banquet hall that used to be Shutendoji's.
Wu Ming sat on the main seat, and six samurai of different shapes and sizes sat on either side of him.
"My Lord! The envoy of the Kojima family requests an audience! "
After bowing, Kenichi Matsushita stood up and sat among his retainers.
The magnificent and majestic hall, as well as the gazes of the seven demon-like samurai, made Mitarou Kojima feel as if he had arrived in Asura Hell. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"You're Mitarou Kojima? We've met before. What's the matter with the Kojima family? "
Wu Ming spoke at this moment.
Compared to the demon-like seven demon-like samurai under him, he was the most normal one. The moment he spoke, the atmosphere instantly eased. It was as if he had returned to the human world from hell.
"Ha!"
Mitarou Kojima felt as if he had been pardoned. At this moment, he quivered and hurriedly bowed. He felt as if he had died once.
He knew that if he were to be rude again, even if the Gui family did not pursue the matter, he would probably commit seppuku when he returned. He quickly took out a snow-white letter and presented it with both hands. "This is a letter from the Sanada family from my Lord!"
Kenwu stood up and took the letter. He knelt down and presented it to Wu Ming.
"Hmm? The Sanada family is requesting my family's support? And … a marriage alliance? "
Wu Ming read ten lines at a glance, but there was a hint of a playful smile on his face. "Has your Kojima family already fallen to the Sanada family?"
"That's right … Moreover, the Sanada family also spent 300 strings of gold to hire five genin. If I can obtain the power of the Demon God, I really can't think of the possibility of failure!"
Yataro Kojima kowtowed and shouted.
"I already understand the intentions of the Kojima and Sanada families. You can leave first … I need to think about it!"
Wu Ming waved his hand.
"Sir?!"
Kojima Mitarou still wanted to say something, but when he saw Sword4 and Sword5 glancing at him, he was immediately unable to say anything.
"What do you think?"
After the envoy left, Wu Ming clapped his hands, and the side door to the side opened. Another black-clothed warrior appeared.
"Heizawa Kojima, as the envoy of the Heizawa family, what else do you have to say?"
Wu Ming said calmly. "The Kojima family has already decided to turn to the Sanada family. Not only that, the five genin are more than enough to offset your advantage in terms of swordsmen …"
"Sir, you must help the Heizawa family … I can't complete the mission, so I can only kill myself to thank you!"
Heizawa Kojima's face was pale. He suddenly pulled open his shirt, revealing his chest and lower abdomen, and pulled out his katana.
"How dare you!"
Bam!
But before he could move, a black shadow flashed in front of him, and his face was punched hard. His nose was broken, and he fell to the ground.
Matsushita Shota said coldly, "My master hasn't said anything. Your life and death are not up to you to decide!"
"Haha … Heizawa Kojima, I've seen your courage!"
Wu Ming clapped his hands. "Alright … The Gui family will help the Heizawa family. With the power of the Gui family, the Heizawa family will definitely win in the end …"
"Ah … Master Gui Yi …"
Heizawa Kojima knelt down gratefully. He did not know what to say.
"But in return … After the Kojima family is defeated, they must cede 300 stones of land to the Gui family, and send a hostage … Hmm, and Sanada family's Kima-kun. Since he's not bad, let them send him over … Go and report to the Heizawa family's supervisor. As long as he agrees to these conditions, I'll send my troops immediately, haha …"
Wu Ming waved his hand, and Kenji and Kenji Three immediately sent the Heizawa family's envoy away.
"My Lord, why not?"
Matsushita Shota and Kenichi Matsushita both knelt on the ground. "With the power of our family, we can totally destroy these two families in one fell swoop!"
Ever since they started training as ninja swordsmen, the surging blood in their bodies had been urging them to conquer and kill. Right now, their eyes were filled with a thirst for blood.
"That's right … our family does have this power, but it's not enough to destroy the Yamada family in one fell swoop … In the Izun Nation, we still have to pay attention to the rules. Otherwise, even if we conquer the Iishi District, the Yiyu Clan will not just sit back and watch …"
Wu Ming sighed, a little depressed.
In the Fuso Continent, some ideals were still deeply rooted. For example, samurai and officials had noble bloodlines. They were born to be superior and rulers.
Another example was the daimyo, the noble clans, and the samurai. After losing the Knowledge Executor, they would be widely sympathized with.
Even in troubled times, if he mercilessly massacred and forcefully seized territory, he would probably be attacked by everyone.
Although he was not afraid, before he accumulated enough power to completely turn the tables and defeat the Yamada and even the Yiyu Clan, it was better not to do so.
Helping the Heizawa family defeat the Sanada and Kojima families, and forcing them to cede territory to the Knowledge Executor was already the limit.
At this time, Wu Ming was clearly treating this as a large-scale strategy game.
"I've decided!"
When the seven samurai under his command gathered again, Wu Ming said.
Instantly, the seven samurai knelt down with their hands on the ground and their foreheads close to the floor.
"This time, our family will send thirty Azu Light to support the Heizawa family in the battle! Shota! You will be the captain of the Azu Light! "
"Ha! I will not let you down! "
Shota Matsumoto replied loudly. Kenichi, who was next to him, was clenching his nails tightly on the floor.
"Kenichi Matsushita! You will pay for our army! "
However, Wu Ming's next sentence immediately made Kenichi Matsushita cry of gratitude. This' pay for the army 'was the order of the law enforcement team and the military law enforcement team. He deeply felt the trust of the lord.
"Kenichi … Kenichi Five, you will be my family's bodyguards. This time, I will stay at Honmaru Tomita and will not go to the battlefield. Everyone, please work hard!"
"Yes!"
At this time, everyone kowtowed, their eyes burning with fire.
Seeing this, Wu Ming smiled secretly.
A small battle of this level was completely insignificant to him. Shota Matsumoto and Kenichi Matsushita were enough to suppress it.
Moreover, when the ninjutsu swordsman reached the next stage of cultivation, they would also need to go to the battlefield to plunder the enemy's flesh and blood and obtain power from the resentment.
'At this time, most of the seven of them are level one. After this battle, the name of the Seven Samurai of the Gui family will be known throughout the Iishi District, right? '
...
When the Gui family and the Kojima family joined the battlefield, causing the battle between the Sanada family and the Heizawa family to escalate, Wu Ming leisurely came to Marshfield City alone.
'I should still find a few followers. Shota and the others are all idiots who only know how to kill people. If I have to manage the money myself, I will be annoyed to death sooner or later! '
Wu Ming thought irresponsibly, 'Also, I should prepare a Shadow Samurai substitute and see if I can bait out the enemy Reincarnated Traveler. It would be good to follow the vine to the melon...'
This foundation was just a game. He had no intention of guarding it to the death.
Once he caught the enemy, he would definitely chase after him. If the enemy was too strong, he could escape thousands of miles away.
As for the life and death of the Shadow Samurai substitute and the foundation of this noble family? Ahaha... what did it have to do with him?
'Of course... on the surface, I still have to pretend to be diligent in managing it. It can be considered as creating an artificial weakness... '
Wu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly with an unfathomable cold light.
Otherwise, how could he bait out the enemy in the dark? He did not want to be forced to the point where he had to unify the entire Fuso Continent and become the ruler of the world, spending a lot of effort to play hide and seek with the enemy.
'It's just that... if the enemy also chooses the path of a daimyo to expand his strength, it will be more troublesome. Therefore, I still need some people to be able to compete with the enemy in the future... '
Wu Ming walked casually on the streets of Muda City.
Because he was wearing a low bamboo hat, no one could recognize him.
However, the two samurai swords hanging from his waist were enough to inspire awe.
'Good civil servants, that is, internal officials, are quite difficult to find, but the last time I was at Naito Takamasa's place, I saw that his Fengkō and handwriting were very good. At least merchants have a certain level of writing ability and can also calculate, so it should be a good choice... Of course, if I go to Naito Takamasa to ask for people, not only will I expose myself, but I will also give Muda City a chance to plant people, which would be idiotic behavior... Fortunately, he is not the only merchant in Muda City.
Fortunately, he is not the only merchant in Muda City. If it doesn't work, I can still recruit literate ronin... 'Now that Tomita Maru had gradually developed, and the last time he traded farming tools and seeds, he had attracted a group of small merchants.
However, the most important thing for Wu Ming this time was not this.
He did not stop walking, and a moment later, he came to a secluded place.
There were fewer pedestrians around, and even if there were, they maintained a solemn expression on their faces, with a sense of respect.
And a trace of mysterious and inexplicable power also entered Wu Ming's senses.
"Fuso's Divine Path?"
A smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth. As someone who had once been the East Mountain Emperor, he could not be more familiar with this kind of power.
Although this Fuso's Divine Path might be different in appearance, its essence was the same, and it could not escape his discerning eyes.
"And... this Divine Path is almost the greatest power in the Fuso Cultivation World at this time..."
A trace of darkness suddenly flashed in Wu Ming's eyes.
