Date Masamune had previously made a similar suggestion to his father, Date Terumune. If the Uesugi family wanted to kill Ita, Date would not let them have a good time, and picked up the ashes of Mori Nagake and Katsuji from Shifukuji Temple, and then mixed them into dog food and fed them to the dogs (the Japanese and Koreans seem to have a habit of eating ashes, and they were disgusted when they read the "Volcano High School" novel in the early years).

In a word, if you don't make me feel better, I won't make you feel better.

So it's certain that Uesugi Keihoo will never kill Idashi. If negotiations cannot be conducted on an equal footing, the Date side will be at a disadvantage from the outset.

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the hallway. Katakura Keixuna hurriedly hid his flute in his cuffs and returned to his seat.

[Report to the Lord.] 】

A man's voice was heard. Date Masamune was a quiet man who hated being visited without notice.

However, some young retainers who were closer to the first university did not think so, knowing that their lord did not like it, but they deliberately did so.

[Is Shigura Gorou Uemon always long?] What's the matter with coming to me? 】

[Lord, you seem to be talking to Lord Kojuro, is it appropriate for me to go in at this time? 】

Isn't this nonsense, you're here, what's inconvenient?

Katakura Keixuna hurriedly said:

[You're welcome, come in.] 】

He did it on purpose.

Date Masamune stared at Katakura Keixuna fiercely, but the latter pretended to be stupid and didn't understand the situation at all.

[Gorou Uemon? Just say something, I'm a little tired now, and I'm about to get Kojuro out. 】

The fourteen-year-old Changchang Changchang frowned outside the camp. He was obviously a little curious about what [ghost] Date Masamune and Katakura Keixuna were talking about, but he also knew that his status in Date Masamune's heart was not as good as Katakura Keixuna, so he didn't ask much.

[Elder Date Minoru, who was stationed in Marumori Castle, said that there were 100,000 urgent matters to be sent to report--]

[Gotcha!] Even my uncle and uncle came to get involved...... Tell the visitor that I know, let him go back. 】

But Chang Chang did not leave. He understands Date Masamune's temper. He would first speculate and then confirm that his guess was correct.

However, after a long time, she didn't come up with a reason, because he was not a good person to give advice.

Forget it, since you can't figure it out, then don't make people disgusted here, let's go back.

Tsunecho Zhikura was about to get up, but Date Masamune really spoke:

[He's here to persuade me to bring Chengshi back safely, right? I know, let him put a million hearts, I won't let Chengshi be in any danger. 】

Zhikura Changchang laughed, this is really Date Masamune's true character.

[What are you laughing at, Gorou Uemon? What's so ridiculous? 】

[Even the lord ...... Even the lord ......]

He laughed and said:

[Even the lord misunderstood him, and he laughed at the next ......]

[Wait!] What do you mean? Does he want us to give Chengshi's stupid egg white to Uesugi Jinghu? 】

[That's right, this seems to be what the real elder said, and he sent someone for this. 】

[What? 】

Date Masamune screamed, and Katakura Keitsuna got up and opened the curtain.

Tsuneko had already stopped laughing. He hung his hands down in a proper manner and looked directly at Date Masamune.

Date Masamune whispered,

How can a father turn his back on his son so much? Isn't there only this bloodline? 】

He stroked his head with his hand.

[I understand, go back and report to the boss, even if Chengshi makes a mistake, I will forgive him, so that he doesn't have to worry, Chengshi will come back to us sooner or later. 】

Katakura Keixuna behind him smiled. Although Date Masamune looks like an impatient child, his mind is by no means simple. There is a profound stratagem lurking in him. This not only made Katakura feel tricky, but also made him feel down-to-earth and proud.

[Lord, your mind must be understandable, but ...... You can really put ......]

[Are you doubting my abilities?!] 】

[No, no! Never do that? It's just ......]

[Just what?! 】

[The real elder thinks so.] Can you really do such a great thing as a governor, even though you are a governor? …… I'm afraid that this kind of big thing is not something you can make a decision on alone, and without the approval of the Lord Regent and the elders in the family, I'm afraid you will ......]

[Bastard! 】

[Yes.] 】

[Gorouemon, have you seen my father before coming to me again? 】

Tsunecho Zhikura was slightly stunned, Date Masamune obviously had something to say.

[This...... Chang Chang didn't understand what Childe meant. 】

[Don't lie. You know very well in your heart what I'm going to say. In order to verify whether the old man's words are correct, I am afraid that you have already had the opportunity to test the tone of your father and the old guys, who must be against saving people. 】

【……】

Zhikura Tsunecho's body trembled, looking at Date Masamune, his heart was a little cold, and he couldn't find any words to answer Date Masamune's question for a while.

On the contrary, Date Masamune, who was somewhat frustrated, why did he have to ask himself about such a trivial matter?

Thinking of this, Date Masamune scratched his scalp with his hand and said in a very difficult tone:

[Now that you know your father's opinion, I would like to ask you to go again...... Ask your father if he remembers the agreement he made with me. Does this thing still count? Even if I don't lose, I, as a son, can understand his proposition. 】

[Lord, may I ask...... The agreement between you and Lord Regent -----

Before Date Masamune could speak, Katakura Keixuna suddenly shouted in a rare roaring voice:

[Bastard thing! Do you want to ask about the lord's family affairs?! 】

[Sorry! I'm sorry! The little rude, the little talkative, please forgive the lord! 】

Chang Chang was a little frightened, why did he ask such a sentence without a head?

Date Masamune glanced at Zhikura Tsunecho coldly, but in fact, the latter was only a fourteen-year-old boy, somewhat [ignorant].

[You don't need to know about this, as soon as you ask your father, he will naturally understand. To me, Fujigoro is a brother who is closer to me than Kojiro. I used to visit Marumori Castle a lot, and with a little training, Fujigoro would surpass his father and become a pillar of the family in the future. If my father had believed in my vision, he would have known what I wanted as a son. However, the father's fate is difficult to disobey, and the father has his reasons for what he does, and I, as a son, have no opinion. 】

[Then ......]

Always keep your eyes open,

[The matter of Sung Shi Gongzi ......]

[Since my father already has a plan, then I have no objection. 】

Date Masamune finished speaking sharply and smiled slightly,

[When I say this, it may be embarrassing for you to be the middleman. You go and tell your father, and under your painstaking persuasion, I finally agreed conditionally, and I will not exchange 30,000 taels for them to come back. 】

[I understand below. 】

The chief of the branch warehouse knelt on the ground. An incredible fear welled up in my heart. Date Masamune is just an eighteen-year-old young man, but he is a scheming man!

As soon as he saw that his opinion was rejected, he took advantage of the situation to sell good to his father and the patriarchs of the family...... More precisely, through the affairs of Yu Ita Shi and other captured generals, he bought a big face for his old ministers at home, and took this opportunity to ease the contradictions between the two sides...... Even so, there must be a deeper scheming behind his seemingly calm behavior. What was he thinking?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt an indescribable fear hit him.

[Got it, Gorou Uemon? ] 】

[Yes...... Be. 】

[Oh? But you look confused. I'll say it again, you go back and tell your father that it would be best if they could rescue Fujigoro, but if they can't, I, Masamune, can understand their opinion. Don't forget! 】

[I understand below. 】

[Wipe sweat.] Step aside. 】

Zhikura stretched out his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Somehow, the faces of the various [big people] that he was familiar with appeared in front of his eyes one after another.

Date Masamune's father, Date Terumune, his father, Shikura Douemon, Endo Kinobu, who taught him before, and Oniba Satsukisai and others......

Compared to them, Date Masamune, who was only eighteen years old, had a mature and decisive spirit that neither his father nor Date Terumune had.

If I had to make a comparison, Date Masamune and Shikura Tsunecho had the pleasure of seeing Mogami Izuwa Mamoru in diplomatic activities are very similar, both are the kind of subtle and introverted, thick and thin characters, which is unpredictable, but also feels unfathomable. In short, for Tsunecho Zhikura, who likes new and exciting things and is ready to make great achievements in the future, Date Masamune is definitely a figure who will allow him to realize his ambitions in the future.

After Tsunecho Zhikura respectfully bowed and returned, Date Masamune raised his chin and motioned for Katakura Keixuna to go down as well, and then stared at the coffee table in the camp with those cold eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

And Katakura Keixuna did not leave immediately, but calmly looked at his lord. It's self-evident that Ita is important to Date Masamune, but in order to take care of the views of his family's ministers, he has no choice but to compromise.

Even this one-eyed dragon has to compromise when he has to, which may be the helpless side of politicians.
