As Zhao Hongyu's retainer, Tokugawa Kayo's life must have been extremely easy.
She couldn¡¯t help but applaud her own cleverness now, because now she could finally lift the burden off her shoulders.
Yo ho ho!
In Tokugawa Kayo's heart, she felt a little proud.
And the ten people in Iga behind her were also secretly happy.
They all cheered inwardly at what their young lady did. They all thought that their young lady was too smart.
Yes, talking about support at this time is obviously a bit too much. After all, what benefits can they give to each other?
Even if you make some promises to the other party, it seems too unreliable. It is not certain whether people believe it or not.
They only have two or three kittens now, and even they themselves don¡¯t believe those guarantees, let alone others.
But what my young lady said about taking refuge is different. Although they are nominally ministers, they still have a backer anyway.
There will definitely be no need to worry about eating and drinking in the future.
As for the hope of reviving the Tokugawa family, let¡¯s put it aside for now.
Zhao Hongyu is also a little bit surprised now. Originally, he thought these people would try hard to persuade him and let him support them.
¡°But he never imagined that this fresh-faced girl named Tokugawa Kayo would turn to him in a sudden change of conversation.
Faced with the fact that they wanted to rely on him, to be honest, he didn't want to refuse.
Not to mention anything else, the ten people from Iga behind Tokugawa Kayo made his eyes shine.
¡°If what Mrs. Wang and Liu Da Scar said are true, then these people are like superpowers.
If these people can be used as your own bodyguards, then do you still need to worry about your own safety?
Ha ha!
Zhao Hongyu also laughed in his heart.
Of course, as his subordinate, he can also observe Tokugawa Kayo's character. If she is good, if she defeats the shogunate's crusade in the future, it is not impossible to support her to revive the Tokugawa family.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! From now on, we will be a family, and I will not see you outside. Now you also know my situation. The crusade from the shogunate is coming soon. I don't know what you think about this. What do you think?"
Zhao Hongyu sat upright and looked at Tokugawa Kayo and others with gleaming eyes and asked.
Tokugawa Kayo thought for a while: "As subordinates, we only need to act according to orders. Your Highness will control the general direction. We will do our best to carry out His Highness's orders."
A fair answer, nothing outstanding about it.
However, behind Tokugawa Kayo, a girl with a ponytail and samurai costumes, with three katana swords on the left and right sides of her waist, spoke.
"Your Highness, the shogunate has the Koga Ninjas. Although Your Highness is not afraid of the opponent's standing military force, we have to be on guard against these ninjas. We must be on guard against them sneaking into our side before the war and carrying out destructive assassination activities."
Zhao Hongyu nodded when he heard this. He was very worried about this.
Since he knew there were ninjas here, this worry has been lingering in his mind.
Originally, Zhao Hongyu had no good way to solve this problem, but now that there are ten people in Iga, I don¡¯t think there is any need to worry about this problem.
"Who is this?"
After Zhao Hongyu saw the girl carrying six samurai swords speak, he looked at Tokugawa Kayo with a questioning look.
At the same time, Zhao Hongyu thought to himself: Oh, six samurai swords. Judging from the fact that this girl is only eighteen or nineteen years old, is she so powerful? And it¡¯s really strange how to use six katana swords.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu speak, Tokugawa Kayo said "Oh" and imitated the military commanders and replied: "This is the ninja of my Tokugawa family, Hattori Chizuru. Now that we have taken refuge with you, your highness, then the Tokugawa ninjas will It will also become yours, Your Highness.¡±
Looking at Tokugawa Kayo Zhao Hongyu, who is still young but still trying to behave like an adult male military commander, smiled.
"Oh, it turns out to be the Iga ninja, but since your surname is Hattori, I would like to know if you know Hattori Hanzo?"
Zhao Hongyu suddenly remembered that there was a very powerful ninja named Hattori Hanzo under Tokugawa Ieyasu, and he didn¡¯t know what his relationship was with this girl named Hattori Chizuru, so he casuallyI asked.
It was difficult for Tokugawa Kayo to answer this question, so Chizuru Hattori answered it herself.
"Hanzo is my father."
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s eyes widened and he looked at the girl in ponytail samurai uniform who owned six samurai swords.
Unexpectedly, Hattori Hanzo is her father.
"Oh, Hattori Hanzo is your father, so why didn't you see him today?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
Hattori Chizuru leaned down and replied: "My father passed away four years ago, and now Iga Ninja has been handed over to my daughter."
Died.
Zhao Hongyu was a little disappointed.
" However, Zhao Hongyu didn't bother too much on this issue. After all, he just asked out of curiosity.
In fact, he is not very interested in this issue.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it. I just heard about your father's name, so I asked this question."
Zhao Hongyu apologized a little.
No matter what, Hattori Hanzo passed away.
¡°The question I asked just now seemed a bit disrespectful.
¡°Besides, Tokugawa Kayo and Hattori Chizuru are now considered to have taken refuge in him and are his subordinates.
For your subordinates, you should still show the necessary respect.
Tokugawa Kayo and the others are different from Iguchi Zozo and Kawabe Yuuji, so they cannot be treated in the same way.
Hattori Chizuru didn¡¯t say anything, but when Zhao Hongyu apologized, she knelt down and bent over to accept Zhao Hongyu¡¯s apology.
"Let's get down to business." Zhao Hongyu regained his serious expression. "You just mentioned that you are worried that the ninjas from the shogunate will be detrimental to us, so do you have any good ideas?"
Hattori Chizuru replied: "With ninjas against ninjas, there is no other way. If His Highness believes in us, you can leave this matter to us to handle, and I will definitely give His Highness a satisfactory result."
When Hattori Chizuru said this, a very confident look appeared on her face.
It¡¯s not just her, but also other individuals. It can be seen that they look down on the ninjas in the shogunate.
But think about it.
They have been facing attacks from Koga ninjas for so long, and they are still unscathed, which shows that they have some skills.
And it also proves that the Koga ninjas are really fucking weak.
Otherwise, the Iga ninjas would not be allowed to be so carefree.
"Okay! Since you are so confident, I will leave it to you to guard against the shogunate ninjas. I just don't know what help you need?"
Hattori Chizuru shook her head: "As long as His Highness takes good care of us, Miss Tokugawa, we have nothing to worry about. As for the Koga ninjas under the shogunate, we will take care of them."
Hattori Chizuru said so, what else did Zhao Hongyu say?
So, he nodded and agreed.
"Miss Tokugawa, just be a general in charge of the safety of the ninjas and me. If possible, you can help me train my guards and let them learn some ninja skills."
Zhao Hongyu quickly made arrangements.
" Tokugawa Kayo and others are very satisfied with Zhao Hongyu's arrangement. You must know that serving a general in the Japanese country is also very prestigious.
You know, they just came over here just now.
¡°And as Zhao Hongyu¡¯s bodyguard, in charge of ninja and intelligence matters, this is considered to have considerable rights.
What does this mean?
This shows that Zhao Hongyu still trusts them, especially for those of them who have just joined him.
For a moment, Tokugawa Kayo and the others felt warm and moved.
You know, since the demise of the Tokugawa family, they have become like rats on the street in Japan, and everyone is shouting and beating them. Every time they ask other people for help, they are betrayed and deceived. They have experienced too many of these things. .
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s trust is extremely valuable.
So, how could they not dare to move?
¡° Adding icing on the cake will not move people, but providing help in times of need will make people excited, not anxious, and even grateful.
¡°And Zhao Hongyu¡¯s approach is just a way to provide help in times of need.Tokugawa Kayo and the others felt the trust and warmth they had not felt for a long time.
"Your Highness, although I, the Iga ninja, have been encircled and suppressed by the Ishida shogunate, there are still many of our Iga ninjas active in many places. If your highness does not mind, I can summon all these Iga ninjas to serve as your highness. Doing things. But, I don¡¯t know that Your Highness"
After being moved in her heart, Chizuru Hattori¡¯s mind became hot and she asked such a question.
However, Hattori Chizuru soon regretted it.
¡°Oh, I am such a reckless guy, how can I make this small request at this time.
Although the status of ninjas has improved since the Warring States Period, ninjas are still unrefined after all.
Because they cannot appear on the battlefield openly like samurai, they can only wander in the darkness and become messengers of hell. Although the daimyo want to use them, they will not give them any status.
Even Tokugawa Ieyasu did not give Hattori Hanzo a great status.
??????????? So does His Highness of the Song Kingdom also hate ninjas?
If that¡¯s the case, you¡¯ll be annoying if you do it yourself.
After thinking about these things, Hattori Chizuru couldn't help but secretly blame herself.
"Oh, how many people are there? As long as you can guarantee that they will be loyal and serve me, then I will never treat them badly."
The disgust he imagined did not appear. Instead, His Highness looked a little excited.
This made Chizuru Hattori breathe a sigh of relief. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
