Chapter 1217 Xuena's request for help(2/2)

In order to increase his deterrence, Takada Harano bribed Mibu Wolf to act as his white glove in Sakai Port.

The existence of the Mibu Wolf is a gray area hidden in the gap between the agreement between the shogunate and the Miyoshi family, which the Miyoshi family will not allow.

But coincidentally, the Hokuriku Trade Road was booming, and Miyoshi Yoshitsugi, Miyoshi Changitsu and other Miyoshi family bosses all invested in the Hokuriku Trade Road.

No matter how tit-for-tat the various forces within Miyoshi are, no one will have trouble with money. What Takada Yono lacks the most is money.

As a result, the Mibu Wolf has become the most feared existence by merchants in Sakai Port. This group of nameless ronin swordsmen are extremely ruthless and do their best, and are far more intimidating than Yuigahama Yui's men.

Takada Harano was very satisfied with them, but due to the checks and balances of all parties, he could not give them formal status, so he could only support them with generous remuneration.

Takada Yono may not care about this matter. It's just a matter of raising a bunch of wild dogs. Use them if they are useful, and throw them away if they are not useful.

But Kondo Isamu, the leader of the Mibu Wolf, is very worried. Without status, they will always be a group of temporary workers. Who knows if something goes wrong, they will be thrown out and take the blame.

These are troubled times, and if you have money, you will lose your life. If you can find a long-term and stable job, it will be more useful than any amount of reward money.

In the courtyard that Takada Harano rented for Miburou, Kondo Isamu drank another glass of wine in one gulp.

On the side, Souji Okita coughed twice and said worriedly.

"Kondo-hime, drink less."

Isamu Kondo was drinking more than he was drinking. He was hesitant and confused about the future. She smiled and changed the subject.

"How are you? You seem to have a bad cough recently. Do you want to see a doctor for another look? We are not short of money now."

Chief Okita shook his head and said.

“I’ve had this problem for many years, and it can’t be solved by spending money.

Every time the seasons change, I feel a little bit burned in my lungs and throat. At the turn of spring and summer, everything flourishes, which is the most severe. After a while, it will get better."

Isamu Kondo remained silent, and Souji Okita followed him through life and death, but because he lived in poverty and had no money to see a doctor, he suffered from the root cause of the disease.

She sighed. Although she now had some money in her hand, she was still feeling weak in her heart.

How many days can such a stable life last? Without being given a status or signing a long-term contract, people cannot feel at ease.

At this time, Hijikata Toshizo walked into the room and said to the two of them.

"Takada Haruno-sama is here."

Isamu Kondo cheered up, stood up, and said.

"Come on, let's go out and greet you."

———

Takata Yono sat in the main seat, Yukino took the second seat, and all the Mibu wolves were in the hall to listen to the order.

The living room in this rented yard is not big. There can't be so many people sitting indoors, so most of them knelt down and sat outside on the porch to listen.

Kondo Isamu glanced at Miburou's think tank Hijikata Toshizo, and was surprised. Takada Yono asked her to summon everyone to come and obey her orders. Why?

Toshizo Hijikata shook his head slightly, expressing his ignorance. She thought about how the recent operations had been very successful, and Harano Takada should be very satisfied.

What happened? It caused the financial backer to go to war.

Takada Harano looked around, pointed at Yukino next to him, and said.

"This is my sister, Yukino Takada."

Kondo Isamu's heart moved. She had heard that the Takada family was the descendant of the Shiba family, and the Takada sisters were highly regarded by Yoshihiro Shiba. Takada Yoshino had a sister who was the head of the Shiba family.

When she saw the similar appearance of the two people just now, she had doubts. It turned out that it was really Takada Harano's sister who came to Sakai Port.

Could it be that Shiba Mufu wanted to expand and came to us? Kondo Isamu was excited in his heart, but his face was calm and he bowed.

"Takada Yukino-sama, I heard that you are the most admired person of the Shiba family. Your superb swordsmanship has even impressed the swordsman Yagyu Sogan. I have admired you for a long time."

Yukino was in a daze, seeming to be concentrating on observing the ronin like Miburou. She didn't seem to be listening to Kondo Isamu's words, and it was a bit embarrassing to leave them on the spot.

Takada Yono secretly rolled his eyes at his younger sister, who was always weak, and spoke out.

"Kondo-hime, haven't you always wanted to have a name and settle down? This time you have a chance.

You also know that my sister is the head of the Shiba family, she..."

Takada Harano knew that Kondo Isamu had always wanted to be officially established and recognized, so he thought of using this temptation to trick Miburou into working in Kyoto.

But she was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Yukino.

"I am no longer a retainer of Shiba."

Isamu Kondo looked at the Takada sisters in astonishment, wondering what they meant.

Yangno glared at Yukino fiercely, wondering what was wrong with this little sister.

Don’t you want someone? If you don’t deceive them, how can they go against the shogunate with you?
