Chapter 47 Famous Sword

"Your Highness, my subordinates have fulfilled their entrustion and successfully completed the material exchange with the Tahara family." In the convention hall of the lord's mansion on Notakayama, Yukisuke said to Masara with a complacent look on his face.

"Is that so? What's the result of the exchange?" Zhengliang nodded and asked.

"Your Highness, as you ordered, this time I exchanged 400 stones of grains, more than 200 pieces of white paper, and dozens of farm tools." Seeing Masayoro's face full of anticipation, Yukisuke was secretly proud in his heart, and he bowed and said again.

"Well, it's very good. But according to Shinsanro's message, do you have more important news reports?" Masaru was very satisfied with the result of Yukisuke's exchange and continued to ask.

"Yes, Your Highness. This time, I exchanged supplies with the Tahara family at the foot of the mountain. I was personally received by Tadara Tadara Tadara, the head of the Tadara family. Tadara Tadara officially proposed an alliance to "Danishi Dalang". Seeing Masaru take the initiative to ask about the biggest gains in this mission, Yukisuke said with an excited and weird expression.

"What? To form an alliance with Danishi Dalang?" The relatives around were shocked. The Tahara family actually took the initiative to propose an alliance. The target of the alliance was still a bandit? Before everyone could come back to their senses, Yukisuke continued, "Yes, in order to show the sincerity of this alliance, the Tahara family presented his treasure to Danishi Dalang as one of the conditions for this alliance." After that, Yukisuke clapped his palms, and a long object wrapped in cloth outside the door came in with a brisk step in front of Masara, walked briskly to Masara, knelt on both knees, and respectfully handed the object in his hand to Masara.

"Is this the treasure of the Tianyuan family? It looks like a knife no matter how you look?" Zhengliang picked up the long object wrapped in cloth and slowly opened it. As the cloth was removed, a too-sword was revealed. The knife was about 66 cm long and the blade was 44 cm long. The outer appearance looked elegant and gorgeous. The knife posture was large and the scabbard was even more attached with a small golden flower handle. When he pulled out the blade, he saw that the whole body was bronze, and the thin blade was shining with a little cold light, as if he was waiting to drink blood.

"Ah? This... This... This... This?" Before Yukisuke could continue to introduce the origin of the knife, Tadajiro, who was standing aside, suddenly stood up and quickly walked to Masarara, carefully looked at the knife, and muttered to himself while looking.

"Cough cough" Togo Heiji, who was on the side, immediately frowned and coughed softly to remind him. Tadajiro suddenly woke up, immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and shouted, "Your Highness, please forgive me for your crime of rudeness."

"Haha, forgot," Masaruo smiled slightly, and then continued, "Taitjiro, do you know the origin of this saber?"

"Your Highness, if my subordinates read it correctly, this should be a famous sword made by Yoshioka Ichiyaki, a knife craftsman of Yoshioka Ichiyaki in the Yiwen School of the Prefecture Kingdom." Tadjiro stared at the Taidao in Masayoshi's hand with his eyes glowing, "It is said that this Yoshioka Ichiyaki's text is 66 cm long, with a 44 cm long, with a forged pattern in the plate texture, and a blade pattern with each other. The outer appearance is elegant and gorgeous, the knife posture is large, and the scabbard is attached with a small handle of a fish roe-shaped gold flower. Now, it seems that this famous sword is correct."

Yoshioka Ichi's words? To be honest, Masara has no impression of the so-called famous swords of this era. The only thing he knows is the "demon sword" Muramasa. Looking at the sword in his hand, Masara even thought interestingly that if compared with the knives of later generations, I don't know which one would be sharper.

Seeing that Masayoro was a little dissatisfied with this treasure in his opponent, Tadajiro felt that the lord had a bit of a sudden restraint of things, so he continued, "This famous knife can be sold for about 350 knots at present. As long as you know that Your Highness has this famous knife, it may attract the attention of many merchants and even the powerful."

"What? This knife is actually worth 350 guan?" Zhengliang was surprised. Such a knife could be exchanged for more than 30 ordinary knives. It seems that it is really famous.

"Yes, Your Highness" was Yukisuke who spoke. Seeing Masayoro was surprised at the value of this knife, Yukisuke was even more happy and said proudly, "This is the treasure of the Harafuji Hei family. Later, after the destruction of the Harafuji Hei family, it was obtained by the Tahara family. It is said that the Huzi family once sought to buy this famous knife for 400 coins, but the Tahara family politely rejected it."

"400 knots? It's indeed a famous knife. Haha, but, for such a famous knife, the Tahara family is not afraid that after Taro Banishi received it, not only will he take the knife for himself, but he will also disagree with the proposal of alliance?" Masarao gently stroked the sword body of Yoshioka's words, and Masarao laughed. In the matter of sending the knife to form an alliance, Masarao felt that the Tahara family was a little demented.

"No, Your Highness. Danishi Daro also asked the Tahara family for this Yoshioka Ichi. If you receive this famous knife, according to Danishi Daro's style, you will definitely agree to form an alliance. The Tahara family concluded that this would be the result, so they sent the Yoshioka Ichi to the mountain first," said Yukisuke.

"Hmm? It's a bit abnormal. Does the Tahara family have any other requirements for alliance?" There was no love for no reason, so Masayoshi was completely sure that the Tahara family had something to ask for this time, and it was a very urgent need, otherwise they would not risk giving the treasure to others.

"Your Highness is wise" Yukisuke said flatteringly, "My subordinates learned that the Fujiwara family and the Omu family near the Tahara family have officially formed an alliance and are preparing to send troops to the Tahara family. Therefore, as the party to the alliance, the Tahara family requires Danishi Daro to constantly harass these two territories and destroy the alliance between the two territories. When the Tahara family is attacked, they need to send troops to help defeat the invading enemies and join forces with the Tahara family to eliminate these two territories. As the last condition for forming an alliance with Danishi Daro, it is to distribute half of the two territories after the Fujiwara family and the Komu family are destroyed."

"The Fujiwara family and the Omu family form an alliance to send troops to the Tahara family? The Godsuke Luo family!" Masayoro was overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked quickly, "Do you have more detailed information about the situation of these three families?"

"Your Highness, these are what my subordinates know," Yukisuke said, "but this time I brought a farmer from the foot of the mountain who was familiar with the situation there, and your superior can ask him directly."

"Hmm?" Masaru looked at Yukisuke directly.

Facing Masayoshi's direct look, Yuki Ao's pressure increased sharply, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, the man's name is Yinuo. He was a farmer rescued by the minister a year ago. With the persuasion of his subordinates, he was determined to follow His Highness."

"Okay, let him in." Masaruo was not worried about the authenticity of what Yukisuke said. Although this guy was a little afraid of death and was clever, Tadashi was still impeccable.

Soon a hungry farmer, who was only about 21 years old, quickly came to Zhengliang to kneel down and salute, "Little man, Che Mucheng Yinuo, pay homage to the adults."

"Oh? Yinuo, are you a villager of the Xiaomu family?" In the past ten days, in addition to arranging territorial affairs, Zhengliang also stepped up his understanding of the situation near the territory through his retainers. As far as he knew, Chemucheng was the residence of the Xiaomu family.

"Yes, sir." Yinuo's body trembled slightly. It is easy to cause suspicion as another lord's foot light, but it appears here. "The villain was once the next foot light light of the Xiaomu family. He was sent by Xiaomu Dazang and mixed into the Tahara family territory to investigate the situation."

"Your Highness, my subordinate met Yinuo after exchanging supplies with the Tahara family. In fact, he had notified his subordinates in advance several times, and ordered his subordinates to escape successfully in the pursuit of the Xiaomu family." Seeing Yinuo panic, Yukisuke immediately said.

Ichino was persuaded by Yukisuke to come to serve Masayoshi, which played a great role in strengthening his weight among Masayoshi's retainers, so Yukisuke spared no effort to encourage Yinuo. After Ichino knew that the bandit Banishi Daro who had been harassing them had been killed, he was also surprised. Finally, after Yukisuke's persuasion, he decided to sacrifice his life, hoping to get a good background from the lord mentioned by Yukisuke. After all, as a small minor guard at the Xiaomu family, his salary was not enough to support himself, but his wife and children were hungry at home.
