[It seems that Date Misakumori-sama is a person who has read books, and he actually came up with such an idea...... But don't worry, I'll take this thing, well, the color and fabric look pretty good. 】

Hearing that Wise Kogoro said such a thing without slipping, everyone was shocked, and Uesugi Keitor, who was more active, even began to wonder if this military advisor had a bad taste for transvestism.

Uesugi Jinghu estimated that among the people present, in addition to himself, Akechi Kogoro and Naoe Kane, there are not many people who have read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", after all, in this era, many people have difficulty even reading and hyphenating, let alone reading long novels, even if all the [nobles] from samurai families here, many of them are only rough and ink, and they are completely blind to articles with profound meanings.

For example, Honjo Fanchang just now, he actually didn't read too many books, at most, under the guidance of Uesugi Kenshin, he roughly studied some "Captain Tsuko", barely learned the art of war, but even this achievement is remarkable, and now he has become an indispensable pillar of the Uesugi family.

Looking at his indignant appearance just now, eighty percent didn't know the allusions to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it was written very clearly in the novel that sending clothes not only did not anger Sima Yi, but made Sima Yi see through the real situation of the strong and middle-class cadres outside the Shu Han military camp, which was actually a stupid act of stealing chickens and rice.

Wise Kogoro probably knew what this meant, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed out loud now.

After laughing, Wise Kogoro asked again:

[Katakura-sama must have read a book, right? 】

[I've read some, but it's not comparable to Mr. Wise's full reading of poetry and books, and the small ones are just shallow.] 】

[I heard that your master is a famous scholar in the Kanto region, and Master Soyi Toraya, the presiding officer of Shifukuji Temple, who used to practice under Master Kuaikawa Shaoxi of Kai Province Huilin Temple, is that right? 】

[Sir, do you even know this?] 】

[Hehe, not only do I know, but when my father traveled to Kanto more than 20 years ago, he had a short period of practice in Huilin Temple, where he met the monk Huzai Zen Master, and there was also a discussion, so it can be seen that you and I can actually be regarded as the same door. 】

Wise Kogoro's words are not a lie, Wise Mitsuhide often told him about some things when he was young, and he mentioned Kuaikawa Shaoxi and his proud disciple Sooti Tiger Ya. Akechi Mitsuhide was a follower of the Rinzai sect in his early years, but later because of his increasingly conservative thinking, he became more interested in advocating the rules and precepts and using rules and regulations to restrain and control himself.

However, Katakura Kojuro had never heard of such a thing at all, and Date Masamune and Itami didn't know at all, of course, this can't be blamed on Master Tora for not telling them, these three little ghosts never thought to ask about this past.

[Hehe, yes, it's really an honor to think that a small and lowly body can be ranked with the world-famous wise gentleman. 】

Katakura Kojuro wondered in his heart, no wonder Master Toraya, as a monk, was so proficient in the art of war used to kill people, it turned out that he had such an experience when he was young. He even began to wonder if the art of war he had learned at Zifu Temple back then was the same set of the Wise Family?

[Don't be honored or not, don't put aside the identity gap between you and me after all, we are actually not much different...... By the way, since you have read the book, you must know the allusion to this dress, right? 】

Wise Kogoro was still talking and laughing with Katakura Kojuro, and now his voice suddenly became low, and everyone felt that a wave of anger was brewing and burning in his heart.

[The little stupid one doesn't understand the truth at all. 】

Katakura Kojuro felt that Wise Kogoro seemed to be about to get angry, and hurriedly hunched over and said:

[Although the little one is fortunate enough to read for a few years, he can be stupid and stupid by nature, and in the end he still has nothing to learn and has no achievements. 】

In fact, how could he not know the truth in this, Katakura Kojuro, as a child of a poor family, is very serious in reading, and he can almost take it to the future to make [Chicken Soup for the Soul] that inspires people to make progress, but now he must pretend to be this [stupid] to the end, otherwise, things will develop on the more unfavorable side.

Wise Kogoro stared coldly at Kojuro Katakura--good boy! You're still playing with me and pretending to be crazy and stupid!

However, he doesn't plan to say the reason for this, because that will make everyone's face look bad, although Date Masamune is quite hateful, but Katakura Kojuro is quite admirable when he arrives, but it's a pity that this kind of person can't be used for himself, otherwise he will ......

Wise Kogoro took a deep breath, since you are going to act, then I will also participate in the performance.

Slowly, the plan that had been drawn up by him before was now about to be put into use.

All the retainers present, with the exception of Naoe Kane, almost all of them were angry faces, which is almost certain that they were all a group of hillbillies who grew up in a ravine and had never read a book at all (the author solemnly stated that he did not have any discrimination and disrespect for his compatriots in the countryside and mountains), and the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was completely foreign to them.

As for Naoe Kanesu, he uncharacteristically never spoke, exactly the same as when he first met Katakura Kojuro in Kasuga Yama Castle, but in his heart, he always had a kind of [good show] mind, wanting to see how Wise Kogoro and Katakura Kojuro were going to act in this play.

[Katakura-sama, let me tell you this, in my nearly ten years of officialdom, I have seen many people who come to handle foreign affairs around the general, and when facing the general-sama or me, most of them are groveling, using various means to flatter and win our favor, and there are a few who seem to be upright and disdainful of us, but in fact, they are also very nervous, and they are extremely scared in their hearts, worried that if we are unhappy, they will let their heads be separated...... Now let me ask you, Katakura-sama, what type do you belong to? Can you tell me about it? 】

Katakura Kojuro's affection changed, and everyone also understood in their hearts -- it seems that Date Masamune really provoked the wise Kogoro this time, and the latter finally decided to kill people.

[After all, the small one's own opinion is biased, what do you think of Mr. Big Manufacturing? ] 】

Kojuro Katakura responded, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, as if he regarded the inhibition of Akekogoro as nothing.

[Hehe, why did Katakura-sama say this, you don't know yourself, how can I, as an outsider, understand? …… Let me ask you a question, your lord has insulted me so much, are you not afraid that I will kill you in a fit of rage? 】

As he said this, a smile appeared on the corner of Akechi Kogoro's mouth again, and he didn't seem to realize what he was talking about, and he used such an amiable expression.

Hearing Wise Kogoro say such a heart-pounding sentence with a smile, Katakura Kojuro's heart trembled, and he faintly felt that this time Wise Kogoro seemed to be really murderous, although he had shown great appreciation for himself before, but now it seems that he will completely wipe himself out in order to vent the anger in his heart!

[Nope! The little one didn't have a trace of fear, as early as the moment he became a samurai, the little one already had the consciousness of death, and he was completely ......]

[Katakura-sama, is it interesting that you are so blatantly lying?! 】

Wise Kogoro coldly interrupted Katakura Kojuro's bold words, although looking at everyone's expressions, it seemed that they admired this [man] who was not afraid of death, but he didn't have a good face at all.

[If you are really not afraid, then why is your left hand trembling all the time, and although you are talking to me, your eyes are always wandering in all directions, and people who tell lies have a characteristic, that is, they dare not look at the questioner completely! …… Do you dare to look me in the eye and repeat what you just said?! 】

Katakura Kojuro's heart was paralyzed, and at this moment, the pressure gathered on him was about to crush him - he admitted that he was indeed afraid, he was also human, and he was also afraid of death.

After all, people are only ready to make the decision to die when they are faced with a desperate situation where there is nowhere to live, and you have seen who has made [will die] when there is still a chance to live.

At this moment, Wise Kogoro's position in his heart has once again been raised to a higher level, it is really too strong! In the past few years since his debut, Katakura Kojuro has seen such a sharp person for the first time, and the former seems to have the ability to see through himself completely, so how can he not be afraid?

And everyone present also admired in their hearts, this wise Kogoro ate this guy to death, and he could guess the psychological activities of others from the details, and he was really a capable person.

Akechi Kogoro didn't care what these people thought, he just waited for Katakura Kojuro's reply.

[So, please Katakura-sama, tell me your inner thoughts truthfully! ] 】

Mr. Wise...... I think...... The current situation only shows that the moral standards among the samurai cannot be feared, and only the power of power can make people submit...... I'm scared! 】

Katakura Kojuro's face became very calm after some tidying up, and there was no madness of being insulted at all, just calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

[Oh, you've finally spoken to me truthfully, so let's pick up where we left off, what kind of person do you think you are? 】
