Three hundred and fortieth chapters poaching corners
Du Fei was filled with emotion when he saw the body of Nobsune Eriguchi. He didn't expect that his old rival would meet him in this form.
He ordered Eriguchi Nobunaga to be buried with lavish ceremony.
After retaking the county seat, Du Fei received news from Shimazu Yoshihisa's messenger that Shimazu Yoshihisa had officially ascended the throne in the inner city and became the leader of the Shimazu family. The first thing he did was to
Du Fei was promoted to the head of the country.
In addition to having a higher territory and higher level than the city lord, the king of a country also has a great advantage. That is, once a city is conquered, those cities belong to the vassal country under its jurisdiction! It is simply more of a native emperor than a native emperor.
Du Fei felt excited. This order came just in time! This city just didn't need to be handed over!
So Du Fei's territory added a large area near the county seat, with more than a dozen villages and three trading towns!
These made a lot of money. Du Fei suddenly felt that he was busy. Although his chassis and territory had increased a lot, he felt at this time that he was beyond his capabilities.
It’s time to find some good assistants for yourself. People like Kanbei Obata and Shikatsu Oda, people like Togo Shigeshi can only carry swords to kill people and lead troops to fight. If you want them to help run the business, I’m afraid it will be a loss.
The bottom of it all fell off.
Sitting in the tall castle tower, Du Fei thought hard about where to find some helpers who were good at running the business.
After knowing his troubles, Kohata blurted out: "Why don't you take over Kagoko and Yoko to help you take care of your business? Otherwise, even an iron man can't handle it if you have to run the business and fight at the same time!"
Du Fei finally understood why the big names all rewarded some cities to their trusted generals and used this highly autonomous method to manage their own territories. He felt very busy just having two cities. Those who easily
If the big names in dozens or hundreds of cities have to do everything by themselves, they are really asking for their own death.
"Kuki Yoko's personality is not very suitable for managing the chamber of commerce and business. But Hehezi has gone through many hardships since he was a child and is peaceful and moderate. He can help me," Du Fei lowered his head and murmured to himself.
"How about the town's Shimai this time?" Kanbei Kobata said suddenly.
Du Fei suddenly slapped the Hachiman fan in his hand: "Okay! How could I forget about him! Send someone to invite him immediately and ask him to help me handle the affairs of several towns' chambers of commerce."
But as soon as the words came out, he shook his head: "Based on his ability, I'm afraid." Du Fei thought of Shimazu Souji's shrinking when he was in trouble, and felt a little worried in his heart.
"Sir, this is it! I will go to various places to look for people who are good at business. If I find him, I will bring him back immediately! What do you think?" Kan Bingwei, the hawker, volunteered.
Du Fei pondered again and again, and finally clapped his hands and said: "Okay! Originally I wanted to go out with you, but recently the territory has increased a lot and it is very troublesome to manage. I really don't feel comfortable putting all the burden on Dongxiang Zhongzong.
It’s about people, so you can only do it yourself this time. Pay attention! Be sure to choose someone who is courageous, good at business, and has a good character!"
After Kobata Kanbei bowed his head and accepted the order, he was about to get up and go on the road, but was stopped by Du Fei: "Take him with you!"
The kappa in the corner was wearing a loose mage's clothes and carrying a huge bamboo hat and slowly walked out of the room.
"Ah? Bring this strange mage with you?" Kanbei Kobata, as a ninja, is not used to having strangers around him, but now that Du Fei has spoken, he can only accept it silently.

dividing line
Minami Omi Country, the territory of the Rokkaku family - Tagame Town.
The tavern here is still as lively as ever. It is filled with travelers and ronin from all over the world. There are also some spies and ninjas from various countries mixed in.
Occasions like this have always been a place for people to mix things up. Some of the drinkers inside were frowning and drinking alone, some were in small groups, eating and stuffing, shouting and drinking, and some were silent.
Hair, looking around from time to time.
Therefore, Uozumi Shizuzuna, the owner of this tavern, has been around for a long time, and he can roughly guess the identity of the guests who come to the restaurant to drink just by looking at their faces and behavior. Even if he can't guess all of them, he can guess the most accurate one.
However, the two strange guests who came today really made him unable to figure out the clues and couldn't see Ni Duan clearly.
There was nothing strange about the tall, thin man with wary and gloomy eyes. Shizuzuna Uozumi had seen this kind of ninja many times, so there was nothing surprising about him.
But the person sitting next to him made him very confused: neither tall nor short, with a high and hunched back. He was wearing a walking monk's robe that was so wide that it could cover almost all the curves of the body. He even wore it when he entered the house.
Wearing a large bamboo hat.
In a word, this person has completely covered his body, eyes, mouth, hands and feet. It makes people feel like he is worth three hundred taels of silver here.
He initially judged that this was a ninja, and a stupid ninja at that.
Because although the ninjas he has seen have all been disguised, there is absolutely no one who would wrap themselves up so tightly. This does not mean that he can clearly tell the guards: I am a spy. Come to me if you dare. This is so unprofessional.
.
Obata Kanbei noticed the strange look in the tavern owner Uozumi Shizuna's eyes. He quietly looked at the strange mage wrapped like a rice dumpling next to him; he couldn't help but sigh: With this guy, it's hard not to attract people's attention.
This is within Kogori's sphere of influence. It's best not to be discovered by them.
Kobata Kanbei lowered his head and whispered to the "weird mage": "Take off your hat and mask when you enter the house. You will attract more attention like this."
Who knows how many times the strange mage chuckled strangely: "I think so too, but if I take off my hat and mask, it will attract more attention hehe."
"Forget it! Just pretend I didn't say anything!" Kobata Kanbei angrily slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table: "Boss! Stop looking around! Check out!"
The owner of the tavern, Uozumi Shizuzuna, woke up from his yelling and finally looked away from the 'weird mage': "Twelve coins in total, thank you!"
Just when Kanbei Kobata paid the money and turned to leave, the conversation between the two people next to him made him suddenly stop.
"Did you know? A new city was built in Mowu!" an old man with rosacea said mysteriously to a fat, bald middle-aged man next to him.
The fat and bald middle-aged man was shocked: "What! Impossible? I went to Mowu a few days ago, and it was still empty! Are you not sure about this information?"
"It's absolutely true! The local farmers said that the Mowu Castle was built overnight by the Oda family!"
The fat, bald middle-aged man widened his eyes and shouted: "What!!? One night!? Are you kidding? You can build a city in one night? Are you lying to children?"
"Keep your voice down." The old man with rosacea looked around vigilantly: "I also heard that the Oda family built this city to deal with the Saito family in Mino! It is said that after the city was built, the Saito family even sent out
The soldiers harassed them, but they were all defeated by General Oda, who was responsible for building the city!"
"It's amazing! He actually faced the enemy while building a city. What a fierce general! What's the name of General Oda?" The middle-aged man showed an expression of admiration on his face.
"He seems to be from Qingzhou, his name is Kinoshita Tokichiro! Oh, by the way, it is said that he comes from a farm family and was just an oil seller before."
Kobata Kanbei wanted to continue listening, but he saw a few soldiers from the Rokkaku family entering the room, and the two old guys immediately fell silent.
I saw the soldiers of the Rokkaku family looking around. The leader seemed to be an ashigaru-chome (little boss). Without saying anything, he stretched out his hand to the owner of the tavern with an arrogant look on his face.
Fish lives in Jingzang.
"Sir, what are you doing?" the owner of the tavern, Uozumi Shizuna, asked with an innocent look on his face.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid! What about this month's regular money (protection fee)?" The Ashigaru-chome shook his head and looked at him fiercely.
Uozumi Shizuzuna was anxious: "Didn't I hand over everything this month, sir? I'll deliver it to you personally."
"What? What crazy talk are you talking about? Haha" the Ashigaru Chome laughed wildly: "You sent it to me personally? Why didn't I see that?"
"This!! You!!!" Uozumi Shizuzuna was stunned with anger.
At this time, the Ashigaru Chome poked a subordinate next to him: "Did you see him coming to hand you over?"
"No! Absolutely not! Not even a shadow!" The soldier had a sly smile on his face.
At this time, the 'strange mage' quietly came to Xiaoban's ear and said, "Why do I see these people so in need of a beating?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiaoban quickly pulled him aside: "Don't make extraneous matters! This is someone else's territory! Do business first!"
Unexpectedly, their whispers were heard by the sensitive Ashigaru Chome. Although he didn't hear clearly, he still glanced at them with his snake-like triangular eyes.
"That person over there! Stop! It's you! You dare to leave after saying that?" A few pawns surrounded Xiaoban and the 'Weird Mage' with great discernment.
"Look at your overly packaged look! You don't look like a good person!" That Ashigaru Chome suddenly looked jealous: "What I hate the most is you spies who are so cunning all day long!"
At this time, a soldier came forward very diligently and reminded him: "Be careful! It's probably a ninja! If they piss them off, we probably won't be able to defeat them."
After hearing these words, the guy calmed down a lot and his tone became more friendly: "Since you have entered the territory of our Rokkajia family, you must abide by the laws and regulations and do not act arbitrarily. Otherwise, even a few heads will not be enough for you!"
Just when he was about to say harsh words and run away, a huge and smooth hand put his shoulder.
"What are you doing! Do you want to die?" The Ashigaru Chome of the Rokkaku family turned around and was about to have a fit, but he was approached by a strange face. The face was blue and green, with a beak as long as a bird, and eyes.
It was big and bulging out, staring at him intently.
"Oh my god! You monster!!!" The Ashigaru Chome and his men were so frightened that they urinated and ran out of the tavern.
"You! What are you doing?" Xiaoban looked at the drinkers running away angrily, quickly put on his hat and mask, grabbed him and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
