Chapter 17: The Difference Between Urgency and Urgency
Sure enough, as Heide Tsuhide expected, it didn't take five days, only two days later, and the Ukita family only brought a small amount of deployment to come to the audience.
Judging by the distance, he should have set off before he was instructed.
In other words, there is no need to rush at all, take the initiative to come to the meeting.
The retainers were a little surprised, and after the discussion, they could only say that the words and deeds of the master could not be understood by us ordinary people, and this Ukita Naoya was probably a person who could have a common language with Dainayan Hirate.
β¦β¦
What appeared in the field of vision was a man with half a hundred hair, a rickety waist, a face with thousands of furrows, and a muddy look like mud. In a word, even if he wears a gorgeous Wu costume, he still gives the impression of an old peasant and not a samurai.
This guy's complexion made Hirate Hoshu immediately think of Kawada Nagami who was on the sickbed and asked for his life.
It's all the feeling of dying soon.
Many of the retainers were secretly disappointed and hateful, and they originally stared at the door viciously, but at this time, they saw that the visitor was so old and haggard, and they didn't know what to say.
The tie has always been very calm. After the other party completed the salute with difficulty, he slowly spoke: "Bizen Ukita, I've been looking up for a long time!" I've been thinking about it for the past few days, what method will you use to eliminate my anger after I fought with Asai and did something to profit from the fisherman, and after thinking about it, there is only one explanation, and I can see it today, and sure enough. β
When Ukita Naoya heard this, his lips moved slightly, and his color changed slightly, but then he bowed down, covered his expression, and responded calmly: "It is worthy of being a equal-handed big Nayan-sama." Indeed, due to not paying much attention to health preservation in the past, the contemptible person has been suffering from abdominal diseases for many years, and he has been suffering a lot recently. β
His voice was very dry and hoarse, which matched his appearance very well.
It's like a weathered old farmer.
But this, combined with his achievements today, does not make people feel trivial, but has to be respected.
After a moment of silence, Pingshou Fanxiu suddenly asked: "I remember that a few years ago, I sent someone to woo you." I didn't get a positive response, probably not because you didn't think about me, but because you deliberately wanted to maintain an independent identity. β
"Yes. Lord Nayan is really discerning, and there is nowhere to hide the contemptible thoughts. Ukita replied as he fell to the ground.
Then Hite-ho asked again: "This time, Asai Nagamasa was whimsical and actually tried to assassinate me with a counter-plot, so even if you are not an accomplice, you already know the clues." β
"Yes. Lord Nayan is really discerning, and there is nowhere to hide the contemptible thoughts. The same line was repeated.
"Then you dare to come?" Pingshou raised his eyebrows, and his words were murderous, "You're not afraid?" β
"How dare you not be afraid?" Ukita Naoya got up slightly, stroked his stomach, breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to be afraid." The Asai clan's clumsy strategy can't escape the eyes of Lord Da Nayan. β
"What if I'm negligent?" Tie asked Tsuyoshi.
"Then there wouldn't be today's meeting." Ukita Naoya replied calmly: "So the contemptible person doesn't have to answer this embarrassing question." β
"Interesting." A smile appeared on the corner of Pingshou's mouth, and he brushed his beard and said, "Actually, I still have something to understand." Why did all the people in Harima, Mimaku, Bizen, and other places immediately ask you for help as soon as Asai died, but few people came to me? In comparison, my advantage is so huge, even if I have arranged it in advance, I won't be so far ahead of you, right? β
"Haha......" Ukita Naoya cracked his mouth and let out a hoarse laugh, "I'm afraid that Lord Nayan-sama has never been to Kansai!" It's different from, Kanto, and Kyushu, and the people don't like to go out, and they're very wary of strangers, and the dialect is very distinctive, so it's a very stubborn place! If you want to say why this is so, the contemptible person can't answer. β
"That makes sense." Tieshou said that he was "puzzled", but after listening to the answer, he didn't care very much, and casually talked about another topic: "By the way, you don't think that if you take this opportunity to expand your influence, I will make concessions and give you extra land, right?" If I had such a naΓ―ve idea, I would have been disappointed. β
"How dare you, how dare you." Ukita Naoya pressed his hand on his stomach, shook his head calmly, and said, "The contemptible person doesn't have this kind of fantasy, he just wants to do some power to help Lord Da Nayan calm the world as soon as possible and avoid some senseless bloodshed!" We will never pretend to be merit because of this. In fact, if the current ability is preserved, I am grateful, and there is no other extravagant hope at all. If you have to say it, I just want to get in touch with you with this matter, and I look forward to leaving some Yu Ze for the heirs! β
"Speaking of heirs...... "I heard that although you have many wives and concubines, you have all daughters, and there is only one male so far?" β
"Exactly." Ukita Naoke smiled bitterly, "Not only is there only one child, but he is not yet six years old. And the contemptible man has reached the end of his life...... So do something presumptuous, and don't worry about causing jealousy. β
"In this way, what you are doing is just to show that the Uki family is a force that is deeply influential and can help pacify Kansai, but it is too young to pose any threat." "In other words, it can help me calm down the world more quickly and avoid too many disputes." β
"That's true." Ukita Naoya looked a little surprised: "I only heard that Oda Danmasa spoke very directly, but I didn't know that your style is the same, so there is no need to talk too much about contemptible......"
"Wait a minute." The smile on Pingshou Fanxiu's face disappeared, and he said seriously: "There are some differences here, who told you that I want to quickly calm the world and avoid disputes?" β
"This-" Ukita Naoya was stunned, unable to answer for the first time.
"In fact, this matter, from some angles, should be slow rather than fast!" "If you just avoid disputes, rather than resolve them, then what's the point of the cause of the dispute still exists?" Do you think I'm going to be in a hurry to get in a position? What happens when you sit on it? β
"......" Ukita Naoya didn't know what to say at all.
According to common sense, when any hero is only one step away from the world, shouldn't he be very anxious?
But if we really want to give a reason, if the general trend has been set, what good will it do to accomplish the great cause of reunification a few years earlier?
Can you attack overseas, or do some unprecedented big projects in Fuso itself? People don't seem to mean that.
Or is it not enough to live and finish before entering the ground?
After being silent for a while, Hisho Fan Xiufu spoke: "I believe that when it comes to this, with your wisdom, you must understand what I mean very well." β
Ukita Naoya hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly: "Contemptible people understand...... Rather than pacifying Kansai as quickly as possible, Dainayan would rather spend more time and eliminate more hidden dangers...... The Uki family knew what to do. β
