A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 175 Alliance
However, Asai Nagamasa didn't say anything to stop the other party in the end. If there was another earthquake or something, having Wu Ming and the so-called Chu Ye Yazhong behind her could be regarded as an insurance measure.

It's a pity that I haven't had time to ask Wu Ming why her weapon is exactly the same as Axiu's weapon. However, since she knows Tokichiro and comes regularly to check the barrier of Hedoji Temple, it won't be special to find her if she wants to. Effortless.

Now it's time to deal with the immediate matter.

As soon as he turned his head, Nagamasa Asai saw that the San Taifu of the Hundred Lands was looking at the endless wilderness in the distance, leaving only a silhouette for himself, showing an unpredictable look.

He immediately couldn't help but smile knowingly, this old man was quite good at playing.

Forget it, just stay with him for a while.

So he stood side by side with the other party and looked into the distance together.

Only Axiu next to her looked confused. She didn't know what the two men were doing. However, she quickly changed her attention and picked up the Inugami who was lying on the ground. This puppy Its fur feels more comfortable than that of the little fox.

Although Inugami showed obvious resistance to Axiu's behavior, before its transformation, its power was obviously far inferior to Axiu's, so it was soon forcibly picked up and hugged Axiu. Under the caress of the dog, it couldn't help but let out a pleasant hum. Although it had become an dog god, it still retained some of the instincts it had as an animal.

After a few breaths of silence, Momochi Santafu turned his head and looked directly into Asai Nagamasa's eyes: "Nagamasa-sama, can you tell me, what is your real ambition? Is it to defeat the Rokkaku family, unify north and south Omi, dominate Kinki, and also Or, the whole world?"

Asai Nagamasa smiled slightly, and took out the Maqisi ritual obtained from the Agote Chamber of Commerce with his backhand. He flicked it with his hand and made it slowly rotate: "Has Mr. Third Taifu ever seen this thing?"

Although he was surprised by the other party's actions, after all, he didn't see where the other party took out such a big thing, but Baiji Santafu did not dwell on such minutiae for the time being. He just nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I know that this was brought by the Nanman people, and it is said that the entire world is recorded on it."

"Yeah, a whole world."

Asai Nagamasa also sighed a little, and then he lightly touched the sphere in his hand to stop it from running.

"Compared to the whole world, Nibon is just an island country in the corner, the North and South Omi Rivers are just such a small area, and Xiaogu City has only one red dot, and people from the Argot Chamber of Commerce are arriving. It was added after Nibon, and outside of Nibon, no one knows Xiaogu City at all.”

Having said that, he deliberately paused, and turned to look at the boundless sky: "Why should my eyes be limited to this place?"

"True ambition never ends."

Although Asai Nagamasa said such words in an extremely calm tone, Momochi Santafu couldn't help being stunned.

When almost all the daimyo are fighting for the barren land of Nibon, have the other parties set their sights further afield?

Although considering the current strength of the Asai family, this statement is a bit too arrogant, but if it is the successor of Abe Seimei, and it happens to be in this troubled time with endless demons, perhaps, there is really no chance.

Why did I come to meet with him today because he had such expectations?
Thinking of this, San Taifu didn't hesitate anymore, he immediately bowed very solemnly: "Iga Ninja, I am willing to stand behind the strong and the victor."

Then all the surrounding Iga ninjas seemed to have received some signal. They all knelt down on one knee and saluted Asai Nagamasa: "Iga ninjas, pay your respects to Lord Asai!"

Although their number was small and their voices were not loud enough, Asai Nagamasa still couldn't help but chuckle a few times, because this represented one of the most powerful ninja forces in Nippon.

Although it seems a bit sloppy and may not be completely reliable, for the current Asai family, this will definitely be an extremely powerful help, and as long as they can continue to win, their strength and power will continue to expand, Baiji Santafu You will stand more firmly behind yourself.

As the other party just said, they are willing to stand behind the strong and the winners.

In this chaotic Warring States era, most of the time, blood and kindness cannot really bring loyalty, otherwise there would not be such frequent "downcomings", but strong strength and generous enough rewards can definitely bring about loyalty. Brings a level of loyalty.

What you have to do is to always stay strong and wealthy, and never give the other party a chance to betray you.

After laughing a few times, Asai Nagamasa also decided to give the other party some sweet dates: "Sir Taifu, I know that you once helped the general in trying to obtain the status of a warrior. If I can obtain the world, and even more, I will He is not stingy with his status as a mere samurai."

"Just like what I said to Ishikawa Goemon before, I can even promise you land and salary. If the event is over, how about I give Ise Ichikuni to you Iga ninjas?"

Momochi Santao and Ishikawa Goemon, who had already heard this sentence before, could still remain calm, but this was the first time for dozens of other ninjas to hear it. Even though they were all elite ninjas from Iga, for a while He couldn't help but become a little commotion.

Nagamasa Asai smiled but said nothing. He knew deeply how important the land was to the people who grew up in this barren soil.

Many forces have been fighting for hundreds of years, and in the end they are all fighting for land. As for the others, they are mostly incidental.

Bai Di San Taifu noticed this, but he had no time to care about them for the time being, because he was also slightly surprised by the other party's generosity.

Although it is just a promise now, it shows the other party's caliber. You must know that at the beginning, even the general could not give himself the status of a warrior, let alone a country and a city!However, after careful consideration, he still shook his head and declined: "If His Highness can really achieve great things, I only ask for one-third of Ise."

Your Highness, in the beginning, only members of the royal family could be called this. However, after hundreds of years of chaos during the Warring States Period, etiquette has long since collapsed. Even the leader of a wealthy family can be called this. As the young master of the Asai family, Now it is enough to deserve this title.

"one third?"

Asai Nagamasa was a little confused at first, but he soon came to his senses, and he couldn't help but admire the other party's wisdom.

The Iga ninjas only take one-third, so their generations of in-laws, the Koga ninjas, should also get one-third, and finally it is left to other large and small forces in Ise.

Momochi Santafu's approach may seem a bit silly, but it is actually extremely smart, because only such Iga ninjas will not be overly feared.

"Very well, Mr. Santaifu, I agree, but as far as the Koga ninjas are concerned."

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. The Koka ninjas will be left to us for the time being. Moreover, once you gain momentum, my lord, the Koka ninjas will also figure it out. After all, ninjas need to rely on samurai."

Bai Di San Taifu said very seriously.

As an ally, in-law, and competitor for generations, he certainly understands the other party very well.

At present, the Rokkaku family is powerful, so the Koka ninjas choose to be loyal to each other, but if the Asai family shows more power, there will be many differences within the Koka ninjas.

Because unlike the Iga ninjas who are almost entirely self-sufficient, there are dozens of large and small factions within the Koga ninjas, and the leaders of each of their factions have their own ideas and desires.

Asai Nagamasa nodded slightly: "Very good, I hope so. If the Koga ninja can make a wise choice, I can forget about it."

Bai Di San Taifu slightly raised his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness. In addition, we have begun to prepare the boats you need. There are about fifty boats in total, each of which can carry 20 people. I wonder if your Highness has any other requirements?"

Fifty ships, plus those prepared by Hosokawa Fujitaka, can almost transfer all his troops to Otani Castle at once.

However, the army alone is not enough. There are still some ninjas around Asai Hisamasa. Especially after he surrendered to the Rokkaku family, there must be some Koga ninjas sneaking into Kotani City. Although the little kunoichi is powerful, he has a clone after all. If you lack the skills, you may not be able to take care of it, and you will need the help of Iga ninjas.

Moreover, my so-called fiancée.
"Then please ask the Third Master to send a ninja army to wipe out the ninjas of the Rokkaku family in Kotani Castle for me, and serve me."

"Also, how about choosing Na Hirai as our contact person and the leader of this ninja army?"

Hirai Na was the so-called fiancée sent to him by the Rokkaku family, but perhaps even the Rokkaku family could not have imagined that she was not only a ninja, but also a ninja placed by Iga in the Koga family, right?In the end, she was adopted as a adopted daughter by the Rokkaku family by chance.

I don’t know what Iga thought about in the first place, and actually arranged such a multi-layered matryoshka doll. If it was just a coincidence, it would be fine. If they had considered this far, they should be more careful.

Momochi Santafu suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He knew that once he agreed, he would definitely hate Koga and indirectly offend the Rokkaku family. After all, on the surface, the life-and-death struggle between Iga and Koga was just an act. In fact, the two of them Our families have been allies for generations. Although both parties are doing things like planting spies secretly, they cannot be kept on the surface.

However, he did not have any reason to refuse, because he knew that the other party did not ask for it casually. This was also a way to express loyalty to the other party. If he was not willing to even make a slight enemy to the Koga ninja, how could he prove to the other party that the Iga ninja What about loyalty?
"Yes, Your Highness, let Hirai Na be loyal to you. I will immediately arrange for manpower to work for Your Highness. However, there are more and more monsters in the wild recently. We also have some manpower to fight against those rat men. I am afraid it will take two days. Raise enough people.”

As for Hirai Na, she was originally just an ordinary genin and did not have any wisdom or ability to command. It was only by chance that she became the fiancée of the Asai family.

She was originally not qualified to be the leader of this ninja army, but now that His Highness Asai has spoken, it actually doesn't matter anymore.

"Haha, okay, then I sincerely look forward to the strength of the Third Taifu. In addition, I also want to trouble the Third Taifu. Just spread the word that I will go to Kofukuji Temple tomorrow to pay a visit. How about that?"

Although Nagamasa Asai was smiling all over his face at the moment, but out of the ninja's intuition, Santai Fu could only feel a cold murderous aura rising rapidly, and he immediately realized it.

It's called a visit, but it's actually a trap, a trap for all those who have evil intentions towards it.

Although on the surface he looks like just a teenage boy who has just entered the Yuan Dynasty, his murderous intent and the blood on his hands are far greater than most people in this world.

However, only those with such strength and ability are truly worthy of the loyalty of myself and the Iga ninjas!

"Yes, Your Highness, I will do it right now!"
