    "Kira Oyakata-sama comes to my humble residence. It's really It's really unexpected. I'm Takigawa Masushige. These are my two sons Keitaro and Keijiro What are you two doing? Hurry up and pay homage to Oyakata."  "Sir!" Takigawa Masushige is a dark-skinned and lean man who looks to be less than thirty years old. It is really unexpected that he has two and a half young men.  The second youngest child of the Takigawa family paid homage to Kira Mansomaru as promised. Although Takigawa Masushige tried his best to hide it, the living conditions living in this shabby house are not really that good. It is no wonder that the three father and son just met because of  There was a quarrel over a little flour.  "Where did Takigawa-den come from, and where did he become a high-ranking official?" Kira Mansomaru had no consciousness of being an uninvited guest. He sat in the seat reserved for the principal, with Isshiki Shiro and Yamaoka Zenjiro kneeling behind him, and there were several others in the room.  People standing nearby stood with knives, filling this small house to the brim.  "I am from Takigawaso, Koga Township, Shima Kokueiyu County, and I am currently living under the empty gate of Tsushima Hota Road." Speaking of his current situation, Takigawa Masushige looked ugly.  " Shima Province Koka Township? How come there is such a township? Isn't it Omi Province's Koka County?" "Omi Koka?" Takigawa Masushige shook his head with a confused expression, "I have never been to Koka.  , I am a native of Shima. Speaking of which, the furthest trip I took was to go to Sakai Town to learn iron cannon shooting." "Eh? You know how to shoot iron cannons?" "Yes!  Within 10 rounds, 100 shots will hit, and within 15 rounds, 9 out of 10 will hit! I am also proficient in water warfare, and there is no one in our village who is not familiar with the boating business." Takigawa Masushige smiled honestly and touched his head a little embarrassedly.  , I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s appropriate to say what I just said.  "Very good! I intend to hire you as the head of the Kira family, with an annual salary of fifty kusen. What do you think?" "Wha what? Lord Oyagata wants to hire me? You really want to hire me! That's great!  "Takikawa Masushige, who is only 27 years old this year, sat slumped there, crying and laughing, and a lot of difficult-to-understand Shima dialect came out of his mouth. His two sons also cheered, Takigawa Keijiro  He ran around the house happily, got into the house, grabbed two handfuls of flour and rubbed it on his brother's face. The two brothers laughed and made trouble for the first time.  "Pfft!" The people sitting nearby couldn't hold back their laughter. They noticed the unkind expression on Yamaoka Zenjiro's face, and quickly kept a straight face.  "Have you considered it, Takikawa-don?" "I would like to serve Oyakata-sama!" Takikawa Masushige had just bowed down when a noisy voice came from outside the door: "Brother, the matter is done! We can finally serve in the Oda family.  "" A young man with a strong body and dark skin broke in from outside the house. The joy on his face had not faded. He was very surprised and froze at the door at a loss.  The young man hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Brother, your highness is" "This is Kira Oyakata-sama. Before you came, I had become Oyakata-sama's retainer!" Takigawa Masushige was very happy.  Pulling the dumbfounded brother, he introduced to Kira Mansomaru: "This is my subordinate brother Takigawa Kazumasu. Ichimasu has a sister who married Maeda Rihisa of Aroko Castle, so he wanted to become a retainer of the Oda family. I  I have tried to persuade him several times but he has not given up. Now it is good that my Takigawa family can become Lord Oyakata's retainer. It is really the blessing of our ancestors." Yamaoka Zenjiro interjected: "Hmm! Takikawa-den should be changed to Lord of the House.  "Oh! I am negligent! This brother is also proficient in iron artillery and navy. I would like to recommend him as a retainer of the Kira family" "Brother! What are you talking about?"  Kawaichi Masu suddenly stood up with a livid face and shouted loudly: "How can you let an unknown person in? I have never heard of Kira Oyakata-sama. Isn't it that we came to Owari to defect to the Oda family?  ? I have already contacted His Majesty Maeda, and he has agreed to recommend us as retainers to His Majesty Oda Bingomori. Let¡¯s pack up and leave now!¡± The cold looks on Takikawa Masushige¡¯s face made him look ugly.  : "Ichimasu! What are you talking about! What Oda Bigomori! How much time are you going to waste in Arakoko Castle! Every time you bring good news, but every time nothing changes, Maeda Rihisa is a coward.  You little timid person, my daughter from the Takigawa family is a secret betrayer! Don't say it again! I have decided to become the retainer of the master, and I won't mention joining the Oda family again!" "Brother!  Same! His Majesty Maeda is going to adopt your son as the successor of the Maeda family! So I, the Takigawa family, can really go to the Oda family! "Takigawa Kazumasu didn't look at Kira Manshomaru from beginning to end.  At first glance, he seemed to dislike him.  "Are we just like liars? Let's talk about our familyHe's many times better looking than this swarthy guy, right?  Why are you so rude to me!  " Kira Mansomaru was very patient. If he hadn't restrained himself, the people around him would have drawn their swords and started fighting. Even so, Yamaoka Zenjiro was sitting there with red eyes and kneeling there, gnashing his teeth. "That's enough!  I'm going to go to you, I don't want to listen to that nonsense from Toshihisa Maeda anymore!  I, Masashige, am now a retainer of the Kira family and have nothing to do with the Oda family. If you are still my brother, don¡¯t mention him again!  "Takigawa Masashige tried his best to restrain the anger in his chest, and the raging anger in his eyes seemed to be ignited at any time. "Brother" Takigawa Kazumas didn't expect that his usually taciturn brother would have such a big reaction today. It seemed that all this was going to happen.  It was because of these uninvited guests that Takigawa Kazumasu turned sideways and looked at Kira Mansomaru. Only then did he realize that although the clothes worn by this child were of a common style, the expensive materials with faint reflections could not be worn by lower-level samurai.  Takigawa Kazumasu tentatively asked: "May I ask who this Kira Oyakata-sama is" "I am the governor of the Mikawa Kira family. Takigawa-don must have heard of my name.  Kira Mansomaru said to him with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart: "You finally fell into the trap. I don't believe you are invulnerable. If you weren't a famous general of the Oda family, how could our family have endured it for so long."  " "Mikawa Kira family?  It turns out that my brother didn¡¯t lie to me, wasn¡¯t he?  How do you prove your identity!  " " Yiyi!  Are you possessed?  You and I have been staying in Kyoto for a while, don¡¯t we still recognize the shogunate¡¯s royal pattern, Ashikaga Niyinryo?  Taro and Jiro have already seen it!  What did you do these days when you were out?  Did you see something unclean?  Later I will take you to the Niutou Tianwang Shrine to pray for blessings.  "Facing Takigawa Masushige's scolding, he noticed that the clothes worn by everyone in the Kira family were lightly printed with the Ashikaga futaku ryo, and the style was different from the ordinary Ashikaga family, except for the different colors.  , the style is exactly the same. ¡°Brother!  Remember the vows we made when we left our hometown?  I said that I must make a name for myself when I leave my hometown!  We really did it, but we brothers are destined not to walk on the same path!  "Takigawa Kazuki took two steps back in despair and sat in front of the entrance, murmuring: "Before I came back, I had paid a visit to the Oda Bingo Shrine in advance, and the Oda Bingo Shrine also agreed to accept me and the other clan as retainers.  Accepting the Takigawa family's request to adopt an adopted son to the Maeda family, I have no way out!  "    "What?  Youhow could you!  asshole!  "Takigawa Masushige also sat down on the ground like a deflated rubber ball. Taro and Jiro of the Takigawa family were stunned. The two brothers hugged each other with their big white faces, wondering what happened. "  As I said, dividing the officialdom into two is not just a means!  Kira Manshomaru shook his head secretly. It seemed that Takigawa Kazumasu had no chance. He wanted to keep the fruits of victory now, so he said: "Ichimasu will serve as an official in the Oda family, and Masushige will serve in the main family. Taro of the Masushige family will serve as the head of the Maeda family."  If the stepson continues, then the Oda family and the Maeda family will be embarrassed to care about Masushige's refusal to serve in the Oda family!  " "That's all!  "Takigawa Masushige turned around with a dark face and said to Takigawa Keitaro who was huddled in a ball: "Follow your uncle to Arakko Castle!  Work hard to be a qualified heir to Riku Maeda. If you are kicked out by the Maeda family, I will never recognize you again!  Take care of yourself!  " Takigawa Masushige turned around and glanced at his brother, who silently walked over and pulled Takigawa Keitaro out. When he left, he reluctantly glanced at his brother, but it was a pity that Takigawa Masushige did not look back.  "Take care of yourself!  ¡± Note: In fact, the Takigawa family has nothing to do with the Koga ninjas. To say that their family is a Koga ninja is far-fetched in the Momoyama era.
