Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This place is close to the Tokaido. For the safety of the street, the nearby woods are cut down every year. Kira Manshomaru's mount is a Kiso horse that is good at walking in the mountains. He easily surpasses the group of horse warriors and disappears into the woods alone, scaring Zenjiro Yamaoka.  He yelled and chased after him on his bad horse.  After chasing for several hundred meters, there was no sign of the house governor. The Mahui warriors hurriedly dispersed and looked around. Fortunately, the forest was not too big. After a while, the Mahui warriors came to report. They saw the owner of the house in the forest ahead.  Your Excellency's horse, Zenjiro Yamaoka whistled to gather the horses back to the samurai, and chased them in the direction indicated.  Not far away, I found the figure of the mount deep in the woods. This carefully selected house governor's mount was tied to a tree and chewing leaves leisurely. In a simple campsite not far away, Kira Mansomaru was sitting there.  He had a great conversation with a child of a similar age, while another child, only four or five years old, was dozing off with the majestic black hawk in his arms, seemingly uninterested in this uninvited guest.  "Mr. Master!" Zenjiro Yamaoka quickly dismounted and trotted over. The dozen or so horses behind him immediately spread out and blocked the roads in all directions, making a tense gesture. The older child's expression immediately changed.  He pulled his brother up and knelt down, daring not to speak.  Kira Mansomaru raised his eyes to see the posture of everyone, and said with a smile: "Zenjiro? What are you going to do? Don't scare them and put away the weapons quickly!" "But the origins of these two people are unknown.  "For the sake of the owner's safety, it is better for Zenjiro Rong to investigate and then lift the alert!" Yamaoka Zenjiro stubbornly refused his request and stared at the two children with a stern expression and asked, "What are your names?"  What? Where do you come from? Why are you approaching the master of the house? " The older child was quite calm and cheered up slightly and replied: "The villain's name is Honda Yahachiro, this is my younger brother" "  Yahachiro! Sanya!" Anxious shouts came from the distance. A middle-aged man was blocked from the circle by the Kira family's horse. Kira Mansomaru glanced at the nervous expressions of the two brothers and said: "Let's go.  Let him come in! This man should be the father of these two brothers. "But for your safety, Master" Yamaoka Zenjiro still wanted to argue.  "The safety of my family is in your hands, let this man come over now!" Kira Mansomaru glared at him, making Zenjiro Yamaoka shrink back, and quickly stepped aside to let the middle-aged man in.  This middle-aged man was more knowledgeable than his two children. As soon as he saw a dozen warriors with strong bodies, strong waists, swords, and strong bows on their backs, he knew that this group of people had a lot of background. He first leaned on the ground and bowed his head twice.  He vaguely called "adult" twice, keeping his eyes on the two children. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the two children, he said cautiously: "The villain's name is Honda Toshimasa. He is from Ogawa, County. His name is  Eagle Craftsman, I took my two children out to fly hawks today. These are the villain's two sons, Yahachiro and Sanmi. I wonder if they bumped into this lord or not?" "They didn't bump into me. Are you from a Eagle Craftsman family?  The Honda clan? What is the relationship between Honda Tadaka, who died in Anxiang City this year, and you?" At first hearing the word "Honda", Kira Wansongmaru frowned and thought for a moment: "Eagle craftsman is a rare profession, and there are still people in Mikawa.  The name Yahachiro is quite familiar, but the name Honda Toshimasa has never been heard of before! ""Honda Heihachiro is a member of the same clan as the villain," he mentioned.  This Honda Toshimasa is also a little embarrassed. As a member of the Honda clan, look at what Honda Tadaka has become like in the clan, and look at what his branch family has become like. In the Matsudaira family, Honda Toshimasa is nothing.  No, I can only win the favor of the family governor with my skills of raising eagles, which is really a bitter experience.  "Honda Heihachiro, Honda Yahachiro, very familiar names. Isn't Honda Tadakatsu Heihachiro? Then this Yahachiro is Honda Masanobu?" Kira Manshomaru suddenly realized that this guy must be Honda Masanobu.  Father, so this Yahachiro is his son Honda Masanobu?  "Aren't you from the Honda clan? Why did you become a hawksmith?" Kira Mansomaru asked in a gossipy tone.  "This there are many branches in the next family. In addition to Honda Tadaka of the Heihachiro family, there is also Honda Tadaka of the Sakujuro family. Honda Hirotaka of the Hikosaburo family is the direct descendant of this branch. The villain family is just a concubine of the branch family.  Therefore, he is not qualified to serve as an official with the Zong family. "Honda Junzheng felt that his old face was almost lost. He still didn't know which nobleman the handsome little boy opposite was, but he had already lost all his possessions.  It was all shaken out, and now he really wanted to give himself a mouthful.  "So you are just an underground person, in order to support the family business and practice the craft of a hawksmith, right?" Kira Manshoumaru suddenly understood. No wonder Honda Masanobu has been hanging out with Oogway.So, he ran away and didn't return home for decades. It turned out that the members of our clan were so overwhelmed that he couldn't even lift his head.  "It is a skill passed down from Xiaoren's grandfather, Lord Tadamasa. Xiaoren's ancestors once learned the art of falconry in Kyoto, so the skill of falconry passed down by Xiaoren Mikawa is also very famous. For this reason, Zentokuinden Matsudaira Kiyoyasu specially  Tomoyo was given forty koku to the ancestor of the family, and the villain was promoted to the head of the Ashigaru-gumi due to his falconry skills. Tomoyo was raised to eighty koku, and the villain's eldest son, Shigesada, also became a samurai of the Matsudaira family. "Speaking of which, this.  Honda Toshimasa looked particularly excited, as if he was very excited about the favor given by the Matsudaira family, his red face started to dance.  "You have an eldest son? Where are these two children?" "Yahachiro is the second son, because his elder brother Honda Yahachiro Shigesada became a samurai of the Matsudaira family and inherited the villain's position as the leader of the Ashigaru-gumi.  So the villain also changed his childhood name to Yahachiro, planning to pass on the skills of Honda's hawksmiths to him in the future, so that he can have a living skill in the future. Sanya is the fourth son, and he followed Yahachiro out for the first time.  Fly the eagle." Honda Junzheng nodded and said.  "I see, I understand!" Kira Manshomaru nodded and ignored him, turned to the two children and asked: "I give you a chance to live a mediocre life as a falconer or farmer.  You should follow me in your life and serve your family as an excellent warrior in the future. You can make your own decision! " "What is this going on?" Honda Junzheng was frightened and couldn't figure it out.  Why did he suddenly jump to asking his two sons to become samurai?  Who is this nobleman?  He felt that his brain was not full, and all kinds of questions came to him. He wanted to ask the people around him for help, but who would care about him?  Zenjiro Yamaoka squatted beside him with resentment, staring back and forth at the father and son like a hawk.  In this era, the samurai class was extremely strict. In front of a samurai with a higher status than himself, if he spoke too much, he would be scolded and humiliated, and at worst, anything could happen. Therefore, Toshimasa Honda did not dare to say more even if he was clearly anxious.  Mouth, he wished he could kneel down and pray to gods and Buddhas to let these people leave as soon as possible.  A child named Yahachiro pulled his five-year-old brother Miya and bowed down: "I, Yahachiro Hontama, would like to follow Kira Oyakata-sama!"
