519. Izumo sunset

"Zheng"! I held the sword that Hideyoshi had given me in my hand, and I had to squint my eyes as the cold light on the blade reflected it.

Onikiri is one of the two most well-known famous knives in Japan's Heian period, and it is also one of the two famous knives that Gen Manchu defended the world. Its original name was mustache cut, and it was paired with another famous knife knee cut.

It is said that when Gen Manzhong attacked the enemy with two swords, one knife attacked the face door and the other knife attacked the knee, hence the name.

Later, these two knives passed into the hands of Minamoto Yorimitsu, and in order to buy people's hearts, Minamoto Yorimitsu handed over the mustache cut - that is, the ghost cut to Watanabe Tsunada.

Legend has it that Tsunade Watanabe met the oni god Ibaraki Boy at the Gojo Ferry with a mustache cut, and in a fit of rage, he used his knife to break the wrist of the Ibaraki Boy, so the mustache cut was also called "Ghost Cut", and it is said that later Kiso Yoshinaka used Oni Cut to kill demons in Togakure Mountain, making this knife even more legendary.

Later, this knife was passed into the hands of Minamoto Yoritomo, and it became a treasure knife that could only be used by the highest authority in the east of the era.

Now that Hideyoshi has given me this sword, what does that mean? Is he tempting me? Or do you want me to help Hideyori and become the one in charge of Dongying?

With my sword in hand, I looked at Hideyoshi and said nothing.

Hideyoshi also looked at me directly, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Hideyoshi has a cowardly personality and limited talents, if he doesn't have a strong support, he really can't be the lord of Dongying." Therefore, I give you this sword in the hope that you will be able to exercise your authority on his behalf before you are able to fully inherit my mantle! ”

After a pause, he added: "Just like your second uncle and ancestor did in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Second Uncle Ancestor...... I looked at Hideyoshi, do you want me to be Toei's similar to Shousuke? But I have just said that I can help Xiu Lai at a critical moment, but I will not be stationed here all year round and become his long-term thug.

But the matter has come to this point, can I fight back on the spot and tell him that I'm sorry, I really can't do it in the next place! That does seem to be a bit of a spooky look.

In desperation, I could only half-push and half-say: "Alas, since this is the case, then the camera will act at that time!" ”

Hideyoshi took up his glass and toasted me frequently, until he was completely drunk, and then ended this nonsensical banquet.

Historically, Hideyoshi had about eight years to live. Eight years...... That's enough for me to do a lot of things, and if his son is still threatened by Tokugawa Ieyasu as he did in history, then I'll ...... Just come back and help him!

I handed over the drunk Hideyoshi to Ishida Mitsunari who was already slightly sober, and I was going to go to the back to find Hua Mei and a few of them. As a result, I was told that Hua Mei and Arashi had gone to the beach with Hideyoshi's wives to watch the sunset, and Kite was the only one waiting for me there.

Seeing me come out, the kite jumped over and grabbed my arm, tilted his head and smiled: "Sir, are you done with a big deal?" ”

I gently tapped her on the head and smiled, "Why are you still called sir?" ”

The kite stuck out her tongue slightly, made a grimace and smiled, "What's the name of Mr. I'm used to it! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me again, and asked suspiciously, "I see that Hideyoshi and they all drank too much, why are you doing well, sir?" I'm afraid you'll get drunk, so I'll stay and wait to serve you. ”

I smiled: "The foundation is good, don't explain!" ”

The kite covered her mouth and chuckled, and then saw the dark box I was holding in my hand, and asked strangely, "What is this?" Is it a knife? ”

I handed her the box and smiled, "Onikiri, Hideyoshi gave it to me." ”

"Oh!" The kite nodded indifferently, he must have thought that it was no big deal to give some gifts, but after two seconds, he suddenly realized that he almost threw the box in his hand on the ground, and the boss with his mouth open: "Ghost! Ghost cut! Is this the ghost cut? ”

I laughed twice: "With Hideyoshi's status, I'm afraid I won't be able to give away a fake." ”

The kite was immediately amazed: "This is one of the most precious treasures in the world!" How did Hideyoshi give it to you? Tell me quickly, sir! ”

I looked at her cute appearance and couldn't help but rub it on her head: "If you like it, I'll give it to you!" Silly girl. ”

The kite hurriedly handed me back the box, sticking out her tongue and playfully saying, "I don't dare to ask for it!" This is the sword of the Supreme One, what am I holding it like? I don't want it! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at me and smiled softly: "Sir, you are just right with this knife, keep it, I'll make you a knife to hang when you go back, and pin it with you." ”

I smiled and gently touched the kite's head, not refusing her kindness: "Let's go!" Let's go to the beach, the sunset in Izumo is beautiful! ”

"Good!" Kite replied with a smile.

When I arrived at the beach, just in time for the most beautiful moment before sunset, I saw Hua Mei and Lan from a distance - on the way, the kite told me, and they also wanted to stay and take care of me together, but considering that they were all Hideyoshi's family members, if they left in one go, it would not look good, so the two of them followed them to the beach, leaving the kite waiting for me.

I naturally knew the doorway, so I didn't say anything, so I smiled and took the kite, and slowly walked towards Hua Mei and the others.

When they saw me coming, they beckoned me from a distance, and then they ran briskly towards me. After the meeting, I naturally asked again, I just said that the matter was important, and when I went back, they were very sensible and didn't ask more, and just kept silent.

Walking to the beach, I stopped to look at the sunset on the horizon, like a huge melted golden egg, burning and spreading half the sky.

I sighed slightly at the West, life, why are there always so many entanglements, can't it be simpler? It's as pure as this sunset, isn't it?

I was looking at the golden yellow in a daze, and suddenly I felt someone behind me gently pulling my trouser leg, I turned around, but saw a small figure behind me standing at my feet, gently tugging at my pants, smiling at me.

I recognized this child, it was none other than Hideyoshi's only son, Hideyoshi!

This child was born three years later in history, but now in this life, everything seems to be ahead of schedule, so it is not surprising that he was born a few years earlier. And all of this must have been caused by my presence.

"You're Shurai! Lad. I turned around, crouched down slightly, and reached out to tease his face.

The little guy is thin, his body is not very good, and he is a little timid, and he is immediately a little scared when I am so teased, and Ai Ai is speechless.

Behind him came a woman in palace clothes, and when I looked up, it was Hideyoshi's side room, Mrs. Yodo, that is, Hideyoshi's biological mother.

"The child doesn't have a round suit yet, and he doesn't have a name on it, and now they all call him Shiwan." Mrs. Yodo looked at me and said with a smile.

I nodded to Mrs. Yodo, and stretched out my hands to Shimaru, that is, Hideyori: "Come here, uncle, hug!" ”

Xiu Lai looked at me a little timidly, and suddenly smiled again: "Father said, you are my father, and you want me to treat you like my father." What does the Father mean? ”

Hearing his words, Mrs. Yodo's face did not change, and she still looked at me with a smile, but Hua Mei, Kite and Lan behind me were startled!

In other words, the people in power know that they are dying, so they pick out a person who is trustworthy enough and strong enough to help their descendants stabilize their positions and continue to hold power!

Such roles generally appeared in the form of acting governors in the history of Dongying, and their power would be subject to some restrictions. And the one who can really be called a father is like a family, and it means absolute trust.

is like the Ming Dynasty, the second uncle Zhang Juzheng actually played the role of a father to Zhu Yijun, but he didn't have a specific name.

But now, now that I have accepted Hideyoshi's commission, I should fulfill my due obligations, so I said to Hideyoshi very seriously, "The so-called Yafu is the person who can discipline you like your father when your father is away, understand?" ”

Xiu Lai nodded timidly: "Yafu is also like his father, will he beat the pill ass?" ”

The people around me laughed, but I didn't laugh: "If Shimaru does well, Yafu will reward Shimaru candy." And if the pill doesn't do well, then it must be spanked! ”

When Xiu Lai heard this, he asked in a daze, "Is it good to pick up pills at this time?" ”

I looked at his translucent eyes and fleshy mouth, and couldn't help but feel distressed, so I smiled and said, "Shimaru is very brave and does a good job!" Now the Father is going to give you a task, and if you do well, you will have candy! ”

Xiu Lai clapped his little hands happily: "It's okay to pick up pills!" It's okay to pick up pills! ”

I picked up a pebble from the ground and handed it to Hideyori: "Throw it into the sea with all your might!" ”

Three-year-old Hideyori took the stone, and his thin little hands sank obviously, but for the sake of candy, he tried to pick up the stone again and threw it into the sea as best he could!

Unfortunately, his strength was too small, and the stone hit two feet in front of his feet and fell to the ground.

I shouted at Hideyori, "Go pick it up!" Throw it into the sea! ”

The kite whispered behind him: "Sir, he is still young, is he too strict?" ”

I said expressionlessly: "He is the son of Hideyoshi, the only son!" is destined to not live the life of an ordinary person! If you don't move faster, there is only one way to perish! ”

The kite was silent, Hua Mei and Lan ignored it, nodded slightly, and did not make a sound.

Mrs. Yodo saw all this in her eyes, and the look of love and approval in her eyes was also silent.

Looking at the churning waves not far ahead, Hideyori was obviously a little timid, and looked back at me, and then at Mrs. Yodo.

Seeing that we were all looking at him with encouraging eyes, Xiulai pursed his lips, ran to the stone with some trepidation, bent down to pick it up, and looked at me again.

I gave him an approving look, and without hesitation, he ran a few more steps towards the sea with the stone, and threw it out towards the sea with all his might!

"Smack!" The stone flew four feet away this time and landed in a small puddle. Xiu Lai turned to me and shouted in a milky voice, "Father, am I doing well?" ”

I walked up to him, touched his head, and said softly, "You're doing well, kid, but you're going to do better in the future!" ”

As I spoke, I picked up the flat stone from the puddle, turned it around, and threw it at the sea level!

"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap" "Pap Pap"!

The flat stone is like a dragonfly, making a beautiful string of floats on the surface of the sea!

"Wow!" Xiu Lai held his hands in front of him, and his eyes were full of small stars.

"Someday, you're going to do better than I do! Are you confident? I asked, looking down.

"Yes!" Shuyori replied in a loud voice.

I smiled, touched his head, pulled out a piece of peanut candy from the market from my pocket, and reached out and handed it to Xiulai.

"Thank you, Father! I like peanut candy the most! Xiu Lai said in a milky voice. After speaking, he looked back at his mother, Mrs. Yodo, and when he saw that he was nodding with a smile, he opened the package and took a bite of the peanut candy!

Lovely child, it's a pity that your future is not easy! Well, wait until the moment of truth...... Ya Father will not let you face it alone!

I promise!
