867 Samurai's Sorrow

The foundation of Million Stone Daming is indeed extraordinary. Half of the team welcoming Long Ye were armored warriors, and the foot light with guns was not even qualified to hold a torch.

The people of Kanazawa Castle looked at Daming in horror from afar as he greeted the imperial envoy from Ueguo. The squads lined up to block the crazy wild samurai.

"Retreat... Haga... Retreat, everyone who disturbed the adults would be beheaded..." The soldiers of Zuqing cursed, and there was also a patrolling Maeda family samurai behind him, drawing out a sword and wielding the intimidation.

The Japanese untouchables have been ruled by the Wu family for hundreds of years. The obedience has been completely imprinted in the bones. He said he dared not move forward but did not dare to take a step forward. He said he knelt down and did not even dare to lift his head.

But those wild samurai, especially those with some small Daming family in the middle, were a little difficult to manage, and they stared at the Maeda samurai.

"Haga...I am a samurai of Tosa, Sakamoto Ryomakun is my fellow countryman. If you dare to attack me, please accept my loyalty..."

"We are samurai from the Fukuoka clan of the Kikumae. Please test our courage and martial arts... Please give us the next chance."

"We are the samurai of Saga family...We are the samurai of Kumamoto family...We are the samurai of An Yun..."

It was a mess like a vegetable market, but Master Long was unmoved at all. He knew that he could not stop the car after driving a hole. He nodded to Maeda Kyung-ning and greeted, "Maeda, it's too messy here, please help me disperse them... Oh, remember not to hurt them."

"Hai... the imperial envoy of the Shangguo Kingdom invites... Maeda Yujiro, lead the team to disperse them, and if there is any resistance, capture them..."

More than two hundred samurai from the Maeda family ran out of the team. The head was a short and strong young man. He knelt on one knee to receive the order, turned his head and rushed into the chaotic crowd.

"Let these miscellaneous soldiers see the kung fu of Kaga samurai..." Maeda Yujiro roared, and a group of people pulled out the wooden knife for training and rushed into the middle of more than one hundred samurai and chopped it.

Don’t think that the wooden knife used for training is not dangerous. It is similar to the rubber rod commonly used by police in later generations. If you suck it up, it will cause internal injuries and pain. The entire team is in chaos and wailing everywhere.

The Maeda family did not make any moves, and the samurai who chased them did not dare to resist. Not to mention the Maeda family's one million stone daimyo, even the little daimyo who had tens of thousands stone, would not dare to resist at all if they wanted to beat them.

They could only shout louder and louder, hoping that Master Long would be merciful and give them a chance, but Master Long didn't. He just sighed in his heart and then walked into Kanazawa City with great strides.

When the gate of Kanazawa Castle slowly closed, the samurai snorted outside finally calmed down. Maeda Yujiro put away his wooden knife and snorted coldly at the group of blue-faced samurai, "The imperial envoy is kind, and he has not convicted you, but no one wants to harass the lord, otherwise we will also shoot if we don't shoot..."

A samurai who knew Yujiro in the crowd shouted, "Yujiro, how many places do you want to divide into your Maeda family? Are you still going to take all the opportunities you have to go to the great masters to take over? You can't give us a chance. All we want is an opportunity to show our bravery to the imperial envoy..."

Maeda Yujiro sighed, "Stop talking about you... Even I may not be able to get this opportunity."

One sentence brought silence to everyone. The amount of information here is too large. What does this mean? This shows that the direct warriors have begun to get involved in this expedition. Are the direct warriors carefully cultivated by various major families also optimistic about this expedition?

Yujiro was right. At the banquet that night, his identity could only serve as a guardian in the corridor outside the banquet, while those warriors who were closer to the head of the family could accompany the adults of Shangguo to toast at the banquet.

Yujiro, who was standing in the corridor, watched the maid walk over with sake and food like flowing water. He couldn't help swallowing while marveling at the high standard of the banquet.

Chiba's net abalone, Ise lobster, bluefin tuna, carbon grilled rhombus snails... There is even a strange meat that emits a fragrance that most Japanese people have never smelled.

"It's beef. In order to welcome the imperial envoy, did the Lord actually kill a cow? He didn't even care about the shogunate ban. He really invested a lot of money."

Yujiro was right. The shogunate has always had a ban on eating beef. This ban was actually abolished until the Meiji Restoration was completely Westernized. The Japanese in this era have not even smelled the aroma of beef.

Yujiro looked at the maid whose collar was deliberately opened, and suddenly he found that the lord had gathered the most beautiful women in Kanazawa City together. Two of them remembered that they had served Maeda Kyoning before, and they were all sent out for Lord Suiguo to choose.

Yong Erro listened to the cheerful singing inside and sighed and closed his eyes and thought nothing about it. He knew that the opportunity had gone unrequited.

Also pessimistic and disappointed were the samurai of Kanazawa Castle. At the beginning, more than a hundred people did not leave. Now, dozens of people gathered together. They gathered in the outskirts of Kanazawa Castle and lit piles of bonfires, and everyone was silent and silent.

The atmosphere was extremely depressed. A warrior stood up and threw the firewood in his hand into the fire and shouted, "I thought the Prime Minister would give us fairness. Now it seems that he is just a bird of a feather. If I leave, I can be a bandit..."

The warrior, who was as sad and angry as him, also stood up from the crowd, drank a bowl of turbid wine from the person next to him, and walked into the night with his luggage.

Some people left, and of course some stayed. Zhushanchou was a wild warrior who stayed. There were obviously a few dried fish and rice balls in his package, but he was digging wild vegetables on the ground with his hands and gathering the white and tender rhizomes together.

"I will not compromise, I will never give up this opportunity. I don't want to be a wild samurai for the rest of my life, and I will not be a bandit... My mother and sister gave me all the food in their house as dry food for traveling far away. They set up steps for me with their lives. I would rather eat grass than chase..."

A handful of white and tender grass roots were stuffed into his mouth, and the bitter taste made Zhu Shanchou more and more sober. He knew that it was useless to wait here. He took advantage of the night and hoped to block the imperial envoy from Shangguo on the post road.

Some people may have the same idea as him. Some people are walking carefully through the mountains in the night, and in the face of difficulties, some people always choose not to give up.

The night was getting darker and deeper, and the banquet in Kanazawa City was also here. After a few songs and dances, the samurai of the Maeda family began the sumo wrestling performance at the banquet. Everyone sold 120,000 yuan. They all hoped that the imperial envoy of the country would nod and give them some more places.

Unfortunately, these Japanese fighting skills really couldn't catch the eye of Master Long. His wine became less and less delicious, until he suddenly said something at the end.

"When I first entered the city, the young man who led the team to use a wooden knife, asked him to perform kendo."
