Chapter 1474 1446. Noble Son-in-law
The process of entering the city was not bumpy.
Although Iwamura Castle is a militarized town, it is not in a wartime state now, and the daily caravan trade and material transportation have never stopped for a day.
The whole town is not big, and it is Lan En's huge body that makes him stand out from the crowd.
But obviously, in the Japanese Warring States period with a supernatural power system, this body size is only "astonishing", and it is far from the level of "astonishing".
Even the soldiers standing guard at the door only sighed at Lan En's body size, and then focused on the news he brought.
Seeing Lan En take out the handwritten letter from Daisuke Kikuchi from his body, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to neglect it, and turned around to call his superiors.
But his superiors were obviously illiterate, but just looking at the neat handwriting on the handwritten letter, it was obviously written by a literate person, so he went to find someone again.
After a long struggle, the letter was finally handed to the city lord, Ando Morinari.
Lan En sat cross-legged on the reflective wooden floor with tung oil, waiting calmly.
A little while later, a man with a Tanglun hairstyle walked to the main seat of the room with a gloomy face.
Tanglun hair, that is, not shaving like a topknot, but combing the hair back directly and tying a high ponytail at the back of the head.
This gloomy man is obviously the city lord and the master of Kikuchi Daisuke, Ando Morinari.
At this time, he was also sitting cross-legged, but behind the main seat, there was a samurai armor placed in a sitting statue, which looked fierce and majestic.
Ando Morinari's hand was on the small armrest beside the cushion, with Kikuchi Daisuke's handwritten letter in his palm.
Obviously, he had learned about the current situation from the letter and was in a bad mood because of it.
"Why are you looking at my family armor?"
Suddenly, Ando Mori, who seemed to be thinking about something unexpected, raised his head and asked Lan En in a deep voice.
From his perspective, he felt that the man with a strange origin and a strange appearance in front of him was passing by his side with a deep and trembling look.
From that angle, he saw the seated samurai armor behind Ando Mori.
This was basically "rude" in the Japanese Warring States Period with strict hierarchy.
But in fact, Lan En just used his [Spiritual Vision] to see if people like Ando Mori and the "Mino Three" had spirits.
But unfortunately, this person obviously had nothing.
Not only did he not have a spirit that took shape, he didn't even have the feeling of the inexplicable power that was entangled from the void when they first came to this world.
It's not that it didn't appear at all, it's that there was no contact at all, right?
What is the use of the spirits in this place? What criteria are you using to find someone again?
His mind was quickly sorting out the newly acquired information.
However, relying on his almost instinctive communication skills, Lan En still responded to Ando Morijune's questions flawlessly.
No one could tell that he was distracted just now.
"This set of family heirloom armor looks very imposing, so I unconsciously took a few more glances at it. Please forgive me, city lord."
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and even polite and well-mannered, so that Ando Morijune, who was in a bad mood, couldn't say anything.
This guy. How come he looks more noble than the nobles in Kyoto?
Ando Morijune is not a good-tempered person.
After he received the letter from Kikuchi Daisuke, he immediately realized that the problem was not simple and might be very serious, and his mood also became worse.
At this time, he spoke, basically under the emotion of anger, subconsciously looking for an excuse.
But when Lan En responded to him neither humble nor arrogant, this anger immediately disappeared without a trace.
The bizarre experience of this man in front of me is indeed shocking, but what about the Ming people?
The Ming people in their country still say "the emperor is far away", but this is Japan.
Although most people will subconsciously pay some attention and respect to the name of the Ming people, but if it really gets in the way, who cares so much? Ming people, Japanese people, just chop them up, right?
Lan En himself is so strong that Ando Mamoru doesn't care too much.
Because of the proximity to Owari, Ando Mamoru has actually started to come into contact with some new weapons circulating in the Japanese market.
I heard that they are weapons of the southern barbarians. The big fool in Owari has introduced a lot of them, which made him a little interested and bought two by the way. Now he has practiced it well.
However, when Lan En's natural nobility is expressed through his words and deeds.
Ando Mamoru immediately calmed down again.
This can't be a big shot, right?
Compared to simple and crude force, the power and relationship behind it make people more vigilant and cautious.
Thinking of this, the lord of Iwamura Castle even spoke in a more polite tone.
"This, this is the family heirloom armor, placed in the castle tower to remind the clan members not to slack off at all times."
While speaking, Ando Morinaga, who originally had one hand drooping on the small armrest, sat up straight, with his fists on both sides of his cross-legged position, and nodded slightly to Lan En in the audience.
According to etiquette, this was his expression of gratitude to Lan En for appreciating his ancestor's armor.
But there is no doubt that this set of etiquette is only applicable to people of at least the same status.
For example, if Ando Mamoru's subordinates can take a serious look at the family armor, they will have to express their gratitude.
Lan En, on the other hand, still looked calm, and just imitated Mamoru Ando flawlessly with his movements.
He also placed his fists on the floor on both sides and nodded slightly to him.
This stable and calm posture suddenly made the city lord of Iwamura City feel happy.
Oh shit! Fortunately, Daisuke Kikuchi said in the letter that this person’s origin was probably in deep water! Otherwise, I can't help but feel stupid and plunge into the deep water!
The samurai preached a fearless and reckless fighting spirit to the outside world. In fact, as long as you have a fiefdom, it is impossible to use your brain, let alone Ando Mamoru who became the lord of the city.
It’s clear that someone’s identity is not simple, and may even be very noble! There is no deep hatred or conflict of interest. What's wrong with showing a good face? Is it much?
not much! Mamoru Ando felt that was not much at all!
The atmosphere of the conversation shifted unconsciously.
The atmosphere of sitting high up in the main seat, like a great master questioning an unknown person, is dissipating.
Lan En's demeanor and temperament in such social situations fully elevated his status as a newcomer to that of a city lord.
The so-called etiquette, although cumbersome and often stale, is precisely because of its cumbersomeness that it has become a stepping stone for social class and a hidden identity certificate.
Lan En is not proficient in Japanese local etiquette, and it can even be seen that he is learning from Ando Mamoru on the scene.
But just his learning process had already made this "Meinong Three People" subconsciously feel that he must have been familiar with complicated etiquette and various communication methods before.
It is different from the local ones in Japan, but it must also represent a very high social status.
Having this concept is enough for Mamoru Ando.

"I heard that you are willing to investigate the sudden appearance of heavy [filth] near our city?"
Although the handwritten letter in my hand is clearly written, talking nonsense is also one of the ways to get closer to each other in terms of communication.
Lan En was not surprised, and just reiterated: "I should have been involved with this [dirty] myself, and I can't get away from it. Instead of injuring others, it's better for me to solve it directly. It just so happens that I also rely on these skills to make a living. of."
“Your Excellency’s determination and grace are admirable!”
Ando Mamoru was prepared to praise him.
But Lan En didn't pay much attention to what he said, because at this time, it was like the feeling last night, a warm and warm air blew across the back of his neck.
It seems that the thing behind him also agrees with his statement.
Later, after some useless politeness, Ando Mamoru wrote another handwritten letter and gave it to Lan En.
He also ordered the waiters in the castle tower to provide Lan En with the convenience of investigation.
Then, in a polite manner, he announced the end of the conversation.
And seeing Lan En turn around and leave without any grudge or feeling after giving a calm nod, simply and neatly, the corner of Ando Mamoru's mouth twitched unconsciously again.
Is it true that the lord of Iwamura Castle is not worth caring about?
What the hell is this identity? !
An aristocratic figure with a background as deep as the sea suddenly appeared in the territory, and Mamoru Ando didn't even think that the matter of [Remnant] was too urgent.
"Someone's coming."
After Lan En's back completely disappeared from the castle tower, Ando Mamoru called the waiter.
Soon, a young man with a Tsukiyo haircut was half-kneeling in front of the city lord, lowering his head and waiting for instructions.
"Now... um. I'm not sure about something. I'll give this letter to my son-in-law and you will deliver it as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Xiao Xing raised his head and glanced, then simply nodded: "Yes!"
Ando Mamoru's son-in-law was Takenaka Shigeharu, also known as Takenaka Hanbei, a member of the prestigious Takenaka family in Mino.
But after writing the letter quickly, Ando Mamoru hesitated for a moment, crossed out the last column of words, added the four Chinese characters "come in person", and then handed the letter folded to the person in front of him.
After receiving the letter, Xiao Xing immediately set off, his feet clicking on the wooden floor.
Lan En didn't know that Mamoru Ando called Hanbei Takenaka to come to Iwamura Castle just to see his true and false intentions clearly.
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care much.
Reality, reality, and background are not as important to him as the peace of mind of maintaining his sword and armor in his spare time.
"No, you don't have to follow me. Just point me to where that person's home is. Well, it's really crowded."
Lan En said to the soldiers who were stiff around him.
The second half of the sentence was his own murmur while walking down the stairs.
The reason why Iwamura Castle has become a military fortress that has stood for hundreds of years is because it is located in a key location, and because of the terrain and stone materials, it was built narrow and strong.
The terrain was very suitable for one man to hold the position, but Lan En's body shape made walking uncomfortable.
After getting the address of the hanged man, Lan En walked alone for a while, and then a series of tiny crisp sounds came from the tiles of the houses around him.
The flannel ball landed on his shoulder with a 'ouch'.
"It's all arranged, meow! Qilin is outside ready to respond, I'm here to help!"
"Thank you. But the situation is better than we expected, so the lord is quite polite."
Lane held the ball of velvet to the ground and said, and the two of them walked towards the house they were targeting.
At the corner of the street, a figure was watching them from the dark.
