Chapter 475 The Thief of the Century
Hideka didn't care about his rudeness, and directly expressed his core appeal, "Do you know the shieldless armor of the Takeda family? It is now enshrined in the Sugata Ten Shrine in Kai. I hope you can bring him safely. come over."
"Shield without armor?" Hearing the name, Ishikawa Goemon stopped picking his nose, and after a moment of silence, he said to Hideka, "What is this? I've never heard of it.
Besides, when it comes to armor-making technology in the world today, His Highness's longboat craftsmen are the first batch, so why bother to ask for outer armor? "
Ishikawa Goemon's prevarication, Hideka, has heard that the shield without armor is a famous weapon of the Takeda family, how could he Ishikawa Goemon have never heard of it, the silence just now was obviously thinking of an excuse.
But the Xiu family was willing to accompany him around, so he said to him, "It doesn't matter if you don't know each other, I can give you a portrait, and explain the ins and outs of this armor to you by the way, and you will definitely recognize it when you go."
Hearing the determination of the Hide family, Ishikawa Goemon took a breath and said to him in a bit of embarrassment: "The ninja army of Tokugawaden is so elite, and the right general has a master like Sanzhicheng, and he wants to steal it. A treasure, why should I do it?"
However, Hideka replied, "Dun Wukai is now in the hands of the Tokugawa family. How can I, Toyotomi and Tokugawa, go to his collar to steal Dun Wukai?
You are different, you are a big thief.Which high school in Kyoto has not received your care, it is only reasonable that you went to Tokugawa territory. "
"But the Tokugawa family is a big name!"
"You don't even look down on His Royal Highness Guan Bai and me, will you be afraid of his Tokugawa's naughty words?"
"Look at what you said, I have a lot of respect for you! Besides, Hanzo is in Tokugawa."
Hearing this, Tsusue Sannojo spoke first, "You can rest assured that Hattori Hanzo is in Suruga, with Tokugawa Ieyasu, and I have already checked for you."
Hearing this, Ishikawa Goemon gave Tsusue Sanzhicheng a look and said, "You are also from Iga, don't you know what level the Iga people are? Hattori Hanzo took away many elites back then, even if he is gone, the Tokugawa leader How can it be so easy to get in?"
"Can those small fish and shrimp be hard for you?" Hearing Ishikawa Goemon's refusal, Hideka said with a smile, "But since you have concerns, how about leaving those miscellaneous problems to Sanzhicheng? "
After that, he looked at Zhezhi Sanzhicheng, and he also gave an affirmative answer.
Seeing that the excuses were pushed back, Ishikawa Goemon confessed, "This matter is really embarrassing for me, I do often break into houses and steal, but it's just to rob the rich and help the poor.
I will never go into places like shrines and temples, and I will never go in if I offend the gods and Buddhas. "
The Xiu family didn't expect that the fearless bandit of the century would have something to fear, but it's no wonder, it's the Warring States period after all.
Book friends, don't use our worldview, which has experienced several generations of "Horse Hair Theory" thought transmission, and firmly believes that the world is atheistic, to bring other people's perspectives.
You must know that even in later generations, the three major religions are still the top in the world, and people who are excited about the existence of gods still account for the vast majority, let alone the illiterate era of the Warring States Period.
Therefore, when Ishikawa Goemon said that he would not steal shrines and temples, he was just stunned for a moment, but he quickly expressed his understanding.
But understanding is understanding, he still has to help with this.
So the Hideka used their trump card and said to Ishikawa Goemon, "Don't forget, you still owe me a favor. Who brought you out of Kyoto safely back then?"
Speaking of which, Hideka tilted his head and looked at Tsusaki Sanzhicheng and said, "Sanzhicheng, do you still remember what he said at the beginning?" Death to death.' Is that what he said?"
Seeing Hideo's lifelike performance, Tsusaki Sannojo also said with a smile, "Yes, Your Highness, Goemon did promise like this at the time. I think with Goemon's loyalty, what he said would never be wrong." Will regret it."
People like Ishikawa Goemon, who are out of society, value "promise" the most. Hearing that Hideka threatened him with this matter, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
Finally, after a difficult psychological struggle, he reluctantly agreed, "Okay, let's just treat it as my repayment of the kindness owed to Your Highness that day."
Seeing that he agreed, Xiujia continued to say to him, "Now is the best time for you to go. Tokugawa Ieyasu's attention is all on Hojo, and most of the troops in the Tokugawa family's territory have also been mobilized. It will not pay much attention to the Suda Ten Shrine."
"Okay, you just wait, I'll bring you something." Ishikawa Goemon didn't seem to listen to Hideka's suggestion, he stood up and patted the dust on his body before leaving .
"Wait a minute, Goemon." But when he turned around to leave, Xiujia stopped her again.
Ishikawa Goemon turned around and cast a strange look at Hideka, who pointed at Chizuru calmly and said, "You can go now, but she can't."
Ishikawa Goemon looked in the direction of Hideka's finger, and found that the "she" that Hideka mentioned was Qianzuru, and said a little angrily, "Master Toyotomi, what do you mean by this, you are begging for help ?"
Hideka signaled Tsusue Sannojo and Sanada Nobushige to keep Chizuru in check, and then said to Ishikawa Goemon, "I asked you to help me because you owe me a favor. Two different things. According to the law of the court, if you intend to assassinate a minister of the court, you should be executed."
Ishikawa Goemon frowned when he heard Xiu's reason, he didn't expect Xiu's to give her this one in the end.
Ishikawa Goemon glared at Hideo, and wanted to scold Hideo severely, but Hideo first spoke to appease him, "Goemon, we are old friends too, when did you see me, it's unreasonable Woolen cloth?
It's just that this matter is indeed one yard for one yard, as long as you can bring back the shield without armor to me, I will definitely return this disciple of yours to you intact. "
Hitoshi's family will definitely be detained. After all, it is one thing for Ishikawa Goemon to say that what he promised with loyalty will definitely be completed, but he did not promise when it will be completed by Hide's family.
From his words, Hideka heard his resistance to stealing from the Suda Ten Shrine, perhaps because he was afraid of being blamed by the gods.
The more this is the case, the more worried the Xiu family will let him leave directly, what if he takes his disciples away and never returns to hide himself!He was in a hurry to show his shield without armor.
"By the way, the matter of giving me a shield without armor still needs to be staged. I can't explain why such an important thing should not appear in my hands for no reason."
"Do you want to play a play?"
"It's nothing more than a drama to hunt down thieves. I believe it's not difficult to steal Shieldless Armor silently with your ability, but I want you to steal him with great fanfare. It's best to make the city stormy.
Then throw off the pursuers at a specific place and give the shieldless armor to Tsusaki Sanzhicheng, he will give you a fake armor, and you have to throw it into Zouwang Lake in front of the pursuers. "
Ishikawa Goemon asked curiously, "Why?"
"In this way, you are the one who stole the shieldless armor. The shieldless armor in my hand cannot be related to you. The specific operation will be in touch with you."
Ishikawa Goemon is very light, and when he rolled his eyes, Hideka's idea was roughly revealed, "Is the right general planning to use ghosts and gods to tease the world?"
Xiujia didn't answer his question, but just said to him, "You just need to do your own thing well, and don't ask too much about things you shouldn't be in charge of, it's not good for you.
In short, as soon as this scene is over and Dun Wukai is back in our hands, I will release your lovely apprentice and return him to you with my own hands.
As for the reason. I received the news that the shield was stolen, and I happened to catch your disciple, and it was meritorious for him to ensnare you, so his punishment was spared.
But it's a pity that you escaped in the middle of escorting you. What do you think of this excuse? "
"Hehe" Ishikawa Goemon smiled after hearing Hideka's explanation and said, "The right general keeps saying that the court is law-abiding, and in the end he has to rely on two criminals to accomplish his goal.
As wanted bandits, we should have handed over to the imperial court when His Highness caught us, instead of negotiating with us here.
Could it be that His Highness has forgotten that harboring bandits is also punishable by beheading. "
"Hahaha~" Ishikawa Goemon said, looking up to the sky and screaming, he continued, "My original intention is that Lord Toyotomi is different from other high-ranking people, and is a daimyo who can truly sympathize with the people.
I never thought that you would become the same as your father, saying that the imperial court ruled the world and everyone in the world is the same.
However, when ordinary people break the law, they are punished with severe laws, saying that they want to imitate others, while their relatives always cover up and refuse to implement the law.
You are stronger than him, but he just directly trampled on the law he established, destroying the prestige on the surface of the law.
And you are using the law to enforce the law and discipline, and the court law has completely become a tool to fulfill your selfish desires in your hands. "
"Bold" and "asshole" Ishikawa Goemon's accusations against Hideka aroused the reprimand of Sanada Nobushige and others.
However, Ishikawa Goemon changed his tone and said sadly, "Ukita Hachiro~ Ukita Hachiro. Do you still remember the ambition you said when you were chatting with me?
You want to make the world peaceful, and the people live and work in peace, happiness and well-being.Look at your current appearance again, after all, you have become the one you hated the most! "
"I'm so sorry for you!" Ishikawa Goemon said, spitting in the direction of Hide's house.
Seeing this, Xiang Chuanjing could no longer hold back his inner anger, and drew his sword to teach him a lesson, but was stopped by the Xiu family, "Stop, Saburo Goro."
Hideka used to be an ordinary commoner, and he had some understanding of Ishikawa Goemon's ideal world.Because of his humble background, he could not organize his doctrines into a book, but he had a spiritual connection with a comrade named Ma in later generations.
Once upon a time there was a great country in the North, and the people in it used to put their doctrines into action, but after a few generations, new classes were formed again, and the country fell apart again.
Xiujia, who has history as a mirror, knows how difficult this road is, and it will not succeed in later generations, let alone today, which is hundreds of years earlier.
But Xiujia's respect for the pioneers was sincere, and because of this, he felt a little sympathy for Ishikawa Goemon.
I just heard him say to Ishikawa Goemon, "Goemon is still as proud as before, but with your pride, how many ordinary people will agree with your doctrine?
The Paradise of Ultimate Bliss that is fair in the world you speak of, let alone now, I dare say that it will not be possible even after 500 years.
You and I are just floating in this world, and it is not easy to survive by chance, so how can we try to shake the tree in vain?
Doing my best to slightly change the direction of the branches is my greatest achievement after waiting for Qili. Those unrealistic fantasies should be discarded early. "
Ishikawa Goemon didn't agree with Hideo's persuasion, but he just gave Hideo a vicious look, explained a few words to his apprentice, and then left.
After Ishikawa Goemon left, Chizuru was pushed down again, and Hideka stared blankly at the sky for a long time before asking Sanada Nobushige next to him, "Genjiro, you said that I have really changed a lot these years?" Is it big?"
Nobushige Sanada was taken aback when he heard Hideka's question, and replied, "That gentleman seems to have known His Highness for a long time, but I have only known His Highness for five years.
I dare not comment on what the gentleman said about His Highness's early appearance, but said that I have known His Highness in the past few years, and His Highness has indeed grown a lot taller. "
Hearing Sanada Nobushige's answer, Hideya looked at him with a smile on his face, and after looking at him for a long time, he said, "You~ you are really "too" honest when you speak, and you don't look like your father at all."
Sanada Masayuki has made outstanding achievements in military strategy and politics, and has taught two outstanding sons, but his character is rather stern.
Whether facing Oda, Tokugawa, Uesugi or Toyotomi in history, they always insisted on expressing their thoughts or taking direct actions.
And now this Nobushige Sanada in front of me doesn't know who he learned from, what he said seemed to answer Hideka's question, but he didn't seem to answer, he was really honest.

In the 17th year of Tianzheng, on November [-]th, in the headquarters of Isesaki Castle.
After receiving the news that the left and right groups were attacking separately, Hideya finally set out from Isesaki Castle today and arrived at the Tone River after traveling for 2 hours.
At this time, the troops of Maeda Toshiie and Uesugi Jingsheng have captured Honjo Castle and are encircling Hachigata Castle and Fukaya Castle respectively.
As the first troops to cross the river, they have already built a pontoon bridge on the Tone River in front of Shengu City, so that Xiujia can cross the river calmly.
These two cities are not cities that can be captured easily. As the residence of the Fukaya Uesugi Clan, Fukaya Castle has undergone many rounds of construction in the past. Although the Fukaya Uesugi Clan has lost power, the foundation of Fukaya Castle remains.
Not to mention the Hachigata Castle in the southwest, which used to be the front line of the Hojo Clan's domination of Ueno, and the front line of resisting Takeda Shingen's invasion of Musashi, so the construction must be extremely strong.
In history, Maeda Toshiie opened the Hojo Clan by bombarding Hachigata Castle with his artillery after the arrival of Asano Nagamasa. Nowadays, it will take a lot of effort for Maeda Toshiie who does not have artillery to take down Hachigata Castle. .
Maeda Toshiie and Uesugi Kagekatsu seem to have divided the tasks, Uesugi Kagekatsu is in charge of Fukaya Castle, and Maeda Toshiie is in charge of Hachigata Castle.
Hideka couldn't see what was going on at Maeda Toshi's side, but Uesugi Jingkatsu's side was still besieged instead of attacked.
In fact, in ancient and modern China and abroad, before the large-scale equipment of artillery, the means of attacking the city were very scarce. If you want to attack the city, you can only use your life to fill it.
But Japan's political system is a feudal system, which is different from China's unification. As a feudal lord, Uesugi Kagekatsu, how could he be willing to take his own life for a castle that will be assigned to Hideka's territory in the future?
But Xiujia saw it and didn't say much, because Maeda Toshiie was in charge of this place, so let Maeda Toshiie take care of it.
