Another guard said, "Oh... so that's what happened. No wonder, no wonder. In other words, Lord Yagura really is a good man. The money he's given others over the years would be enough to cover ten years of my wages!"
The few of them were chatting happily when they suddenly heard footsteps in the courtyard. They immediately fell silent and stood straight without saying a word. They looked extremely serious.

"Oh, yes..." Chojuro only had Nono, so he readily agreed and followed the man inside.

"Yes, Lord Yagura!"
The man led Zhang Shilang
