Chapter 196 195. Hirata
In the eyes of the farmer behind the leader, Lan En patted the man on the head like a puppy.
The leader was knocked to the ground with a bang.
Then, the tall figure glanced at everyone with his snake-like eyes, and the courage extracted from everyone's excitement disappeared like dried water traces.
As a result, the remaining five or six villagers seemed to brake suddenly, and the soles of their feet that were struggling to move forward were rubbed hard against the ground.
Most of the temporary ferocity on his face had disappeared.
Still three or four meters away from Lan En, he was wildly waving hatchets, wooden sticks and other things.
It didn’t look like they were rushing over to attack Lan En, but it seemed like they didn’t want Lan En to get close.
Lan En tilted his head and looked at them quietly.
Be convinced that they are really just farmers.
In this situation, do you regard yourself as a bad person?
This group of people never let go of arrows, because the only bow was carried on the back of the leader at their feet.
Probably this guy was worried that if he didn’t take the lead, the remaining farmers would not dare to charge, so he had no choice but to charge with a bow on his back.
Most of these people are skinny, their upper bodies wrapped in loose clothes, and their lower bodies only have a crotch cloth to cover their shame. Because they are too thin, the joints of these people appear particularly thick and awkward.
The leader is better. He wears an 'armor' with several bamboo pieces hanging on it. The armor also extends down his lower body and becomes a hem that covers half of his thighs.
Lan En shook his head, ignored the farmers who were at a loss, and pushed the leader lying on the ground with his toes.
"Hey, wake up, man."
Lan En is still a little confident in his control. The moment just now could only make him faint briefly.
Sure enough, after tapping his toes twice, the leader opened his eyes in a daze.
——
"I'm really sorry!"
The leader, Kotaro, fell to the ground with his forehead on the ground and yelled sorry. He is a commoner and therefore does not have a surname.
The farmers behind him who were led out by him also had the same posture, but they were a little farther away.
This gesture seems to be a very solemn apology gesture from Japan.
When Kotaro woke up from his brief coma, he also got out of the throbbing mood before the war.
He just looked at Lan En rationally for a few times, and immediately put down his hostility, instead putting on an expression of sincerity and fear.
Lan En only felt that this scene was more difficult than when he charged at him with a bamboo spear just now.
Of course he also knew that it was simply unrealistic to emphasize self-esteem and personality on an ancient Japanese soldier and farmer. But he just couldn't stand being treated like a dignitary.
When I was dragged to Haidilao to eat before, I wanted to get rid of the overly enthusiastic waiter!
It has nothing to do with Kotaro’s thoughts, it’s Lan En who feels uncomfortable.
So he took a step sideways to avoid the opponent's front. He hugged his knees with his hands and squatted next to the opponent as much as possible to equalize the height difference.
"I attacked you unnoticed and disturbed you from defecting to the Hirata clan. I really deserve death. Please forgive me!"
"No, it's nothing. After all, no one was hurt. Except You."
While struggling to cope with the other party's overly solemn apology, Lan En captured some information.
Design to the Hirata clan? There is indeed a conflict going on here, has it developed to the point of recruiting ronin?
"Why are you so eager to attack me? You seem to have lost your mind."
Lan En asked over there, while Kotaro, who was lying on the ground, had already raised his head respectfully.
“I’m so sorry! We started to resist the rule of the inner government because the inner government did not allow us to worship Longquan. The inner government army is now stationed outside, and this year is another year where we visit Longquan every three years. Your Majesty Sir, we thought you were going to do something bad to this Jishui Shrine, so we rushed out in anger."
Inner Palace? When did Japan have this title? Differences in another world?
And for faith. That’s not surprising. Lan En pursed his lips and said nothing more.
He himself does not believe in God, but even to the lady in the lake, he respects and adds gratitude and friendship.
But the fact of the world is: fighting because of faith happens every day.
"Sir, look at your figure, handsome appearance and silver hair. You are a noble person, right? And this expensive but unprecedented armor style is obviously not that of the inner palace. "
Kotaro then explained why he put down his hostility after waking up.
Lan En glanced at him slightly surprised.
Looking at the plain-looking civilian soldier, he is actually a thoughtful person. This would be considered a talent in any ancient country, but given his family background, it was impossible for him to receive further education.
Kotaro was still lying on the ground, his attitude respectful and eager.
"Sir, since you have come to the Kaishui Shrine, you must have lost your way, right? Next, I, Kotaro, will take you to Hirata Manor! With your bravery, you will definitely be hired by the Hirata clan!"
"Gui, don't be stunned! Go to Pingtianzhuang and report a message first! This gentleman must be a very strong warrior!"
Kotaro shouted to the farmer behind him without looking back. One of the farmers carefully looked up at Lan En and saw that he didn't respond. Then he stood up and turned around and ran away.
Lan En opened his mouth several times, but no words came out.
"Oh, sir. You are stuck."
Mentos's voice sounded in my mind.
Lan appeared in a key place under a tense situation. If there is no explanation, who would believe it?
Unless Lan En kills these farmers right now, even the [Yaxsi Sign] will not be able to catch up with the people who jumped into the river and swam down the river.
Will Lan En kill these farmers?
Mentos knows this all too well. If he could do it, he would no longer be Lan En.
Lan En suppressed Zhinao with his backhand and shut it up.
"In your opinion, I have been held up? Naive! Just because there are so many glass bottles containing potions in my supplies! Can't I be a traveling merchant?! When I arrived at Pingtian Village, my mouth was Are you looking for a job? Just look at me"
But before Lan En could show Mentos a 'planned' smile in his mind, Kotaro's next words silenced Lan En.
There was a sense of joy in the soldier's tone.
"Sir, fortunately we met you. Ashina is a country in the mountains. If you go around, you may not be able to come out in ten days and a half. When the time comes, the inner government will attack, and you will definitely have to move around. Sweeping and killing, even the bandits may not be able to survive."
Lan En's smile froze when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he pursed his lips and nodded.
"Yes, if you lead the way, I will definitely be hired by the Hirata family!"
The army setting up a battle array to sweep away was not an easy scene to deal with with hundreds of soldiers.
Without backing support, even Lan En now doesn't think he can compete with the army.
As for the 'traveling merchants' and so on, if there is a war, the red-eyed soldiers will kill the merchants regardless of whether they are merchants or not.
The biological brain was also speechless for a moment.
"Mr."
"Shut up."
".Understood."
