Chapter 33 Are there spies?
After seeing the other party saying this number seriously, Zong Qing almost sprayed out the water from her mouth. How despised herself? She is worth taking such a big risk to grab Guanyin Temple City? It seems that it is necessary to instill some knowledge into Qianxiang. Her thoughts are completely unable to keep up with her own rhythm.
"I said Qianxiang, I don't bring you that despised by others. It's worth catching Guanyin Temple City by just 500 jin. If you want to guess too much, you'll guess."
After hearing this, Qianxiang couldn't help but think that he had already guessed the most. Five hundred guan is not enough. So did he actually get a thousand guan from Guanyin Temple City this time?
"One...one thousand guan." Asano said after hesitating for a while. She was afraid that she would say too much, and Yukisaburo would feel embarrassed and hesitate if he didn't get so much.
But after she finished speaking, Yukisaburo was helpless. Forget it, don’t let her guess, otherwise who knows when the plot can pass, so he said proudly: “Forget it, I won’t let you guess. I’ll tell you, it’s not too much, it’s less than 8,000 guan.”
After hearing this number, Qianxiang couldn't help but open her eyes wide and stared at Zong Qing. After a while, she came back to her senses and said in shock: "How many...?"
"It's only eight thousand guan, so what's worth making a fuss about?" Zong Qing must pretend to be like this, so he said casually.
"That's eight thousand guan, this is enough... enough for the family to spend their whole life, but that's still less?" Obviously, Akatsu hasn't recovered from the shock, so she continued to say in surprise.
"Oh, Eight thousand guan sounds like a lot, but I can't help but spend it. Just yesterday, I had already spent almost all of it, and the rest was useful." This wasn't Zong Qing pretending. At first, he thought that Eight thousand guan was indeed a lot, but when he really waited to spend it, he realized that not to mention only Eight thousand guan, even if it was eight thousand guan, as long as he wanted, he would definitely spend no money in one day.
Although Asaka really wanted to know how Yukisaburo lost all his money in one day... Well, spending all such a huge amount of money, she knew that this should involve the development of her family, so even if she wanted to know, she didn't ask. After all, as a woman, she knew very well that these were not what she should have known.
Since the money involves all aspects, it is very complicated to talk about, especially the separation of soldiers and farmers, and iron cannons have no idea about Qianxiang, so Zong Qing did not intend to tell her about this. It would be better to talk to her about love and relieve her mood.
But when I thought about the clothes in Qianxiang's cabinet just now, and when I thought about spending money, I didn't expect Qianxiang at all, so I couldn't help but feel ashamed, so I heard him say a little apologetically: "Qianxiang, since my family has little money left, our wedding may be after we fight back the Hexao Army..."
When he said this, Asaka didn't want him to express his apology as if he was at Lake Biwa that day, when Yukisaburo had not finished speaking, she stretched out her delicate hand and blocked the other person's mouth, and then said shyly: "I feel very happy to be able to marry Yukisaburo. Even without a wedding, Asaka doesn't care."
After hearing this, Zong Qing couldn't help but feel a little moved. He gently hugged her in his arms and said, "I feel very happy to be able to marry Qianxiang as his wife."
...
Just as the two were talking about love in the samurai mansion, the footmen of the Tamakawa family who had already performed separation of soldiers and farmers had also completed the training for a morning.
I saw a young man who was not very tall and not very tall did not return to his room to rest like most of his family, but left Haijin City alone.
He stood outside the city gate and looked down, and saw a deserted place in front of him. The only place with a little popularity was the ninja village that had just arrived here to settle down.
When the boy saw this, he couldn't help but shook his head slightly, then took off the hindrance hat on his head and placed it on the base of the city wall beside him, and then took out the paper and pen from his arms. This shouldn't have appeared on him who had just bid farewell to the peasant identity, but he took it out. After seeing that there was no one around, he sat down against the city wall, and then he often took the pen to write and draw on the paper, or looked up from time to time like the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, or looked up and thought.
His actions were naturally beyond the reach of Shigeyuki Yokotani who was inspecting the city. Since the Tamakawa family only has 35 ninjas, leaving Ura Maruki alone is enough to train them. Shigeyuki Yokotani did not want to eat the salary of the Tamakawa family for nothing, so he volunteered to take on the task of patrolling the city.
He discovered this young man as soon as he left the city gate. If it were in normal times, there was nothing to doubt. But now he was watching the Hexagon Army coming, and he couldn't help but be careful, so Yokotani Shigeyuki kept following him quietly.
After seeing that the other party actually took out paper, pen and ink from his arms, he could already confirm that the person in front of him must be a spy from the Hexao family, because there were very few or basically no peasants who knew words, and it was even more impossible to carry paper, pen and ink with him. What is this a spy?
But he did not directly capture the young man, but instead lay on the wall that the other party leaned against. He wanted to see what unfavorable things the young man wanted to do to his family.
Soon, he discovered that the other party had actually started to draw the mountain and castle where Haijin Castle was located in the center of the paper. After the young man had painted here, he stopped writing and thought. After a while, he pointed a dot at the point east of the city he had drawn, and then circled the dot, and wrote a few words next to it. Shigeyuki Yokotani looked carefully and found that these words were the words Ninja Village, and it was not only that, but there was a word behind this word: Bad.
When he saw this, Shigeyuki Yokotani no longer hesitated. He had done this before. Wasn't he just drawing a map? So he immediately jumped and jumped directly to the boy's expression. He snatched the paper in his hand as evidence, and pulled out the ninja knife from his waist and crossed it to the other party's neck.
"Hmph, you dare to sneak into our family to steal information. I think you are tired of living."
The young man quickly said in horror: "I...I am not a spy. Please spare me, sir."
"There is no need to say such nonsense. Come with me to see my lord!" After saying that, the ninja knife in his hand moved forward half an inch, pressing him directly to the other party's neck, forcing him to return to the city.
