After being locked up by Wise Kogoro and Uesugi Keihu for several days, Ita was a little anxious, why didn't the people on his side come to save him?

He was a little skeptical about the credibility of what Wise Kogoro said, this person who looked handsome and sunny and full of scholarly atmosphere may not be as clear as his appearance, what is the idea hidden in his heart? It's hard to guess, will he really let himself go back?

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. While Itami was alone there, Akechi Kogoro came to the place where he was being held.

[I haven't seen you for a few days, Lord Fujigoro, I'm relieved to see that you're still so radiant, but it's ......]

[Are you readers talking so much nonsense?! 】

Although Akekogoro spoke to him in a polite manner like the last time they met, Itami had made up his mind that he must not give this guy too much good looks. Otherwise, he will be completely flattened by him.

In fact, what he didn't know was that he had been almost flattened by the Uesugi family for a long time -- it was precisely because of this gentleman's mistake that Date Masamune's surprise attack army was exposed to the Uesugi army's sight, and then it was defeated. Not only that, but Japanese samurai revered death and regarded death in battle or seppuku as the highest honor of samurai. And right now, this guy who made a big mistake is not only not dead, but he is still alive and well, consuming the military rations of his own army, which makes people feel angry when they think about it.

Itami should be grateful to the wise Kogoro - if it weren't for the latter's greeting with the Uesugi family before, he would have been ridiculed, embarrassed, and even humiliated by the Uesugi family.

It was wise Kogoro who also felt quite speechless, why did this kid lose the battle and still look like he was terrible in front of him. However, when he thought about the fact that this person was a [thorn] who specialized in offending people in history, he felt that it was not incomprehensible.

Nonsense?

As soon as we met, I was really given such a sentence by Yida, if I had changed to someone else, I am afraid that I would have been so angry that I would have been speechless, and the person with a more violent temper is estimated to have a big mouth right away.

Wise Kogoro was almost choked, Itami, a bastard boy, not only has a bad temper, but he doesn't even know how to say it well, no wonder in the end, even Date Masamune can't stand him.

He took a deep breath, then put on a [salesman-style smile] and said:

[Lord Fujigoro, don't be busy getting angry first, I'm a person, I've always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, since I came to you, then there must be something, it depends on Lord Fujigoro, whether you want to listen. 】

[Hmph! Are you finally going to decide to put me back?! 】

Ita's expression of "you all owe me three million" made Wise Kogoro almost want to beat him, but the latter is also a person with strong restraint, and finally suppressed his heart and said:

[Hmph! I'd like to send you back, but ah, your lord Idami seems to be ......]

He deliberately did not go on, deliberately whetting the appetite of the audience, and the latter immediately asked impatiently:

[What does it seem?! 】

[It seems that Idami Sakumori-sama doesn't plan to let you go back anymore, alas! It's no wonder, after all, you fought a big defeat, and if I were Idami Mamoru in China, I'm afraid it would be like this......]

[Impossible!! 】

Idashi was stimulated by the words of wise Kogoro, and he said loudly:

[The lord is a gentleman who is the most benevolent and righteous, how could he risk the lives of his retainers? You're lying to me, aren't you?! 】

His eyes were fierce and piercing, as if he could pierce the wise Kogoro through his heart, and the latter, who had been laughing at the former, was now shocked by this look.

Good boy, not only is he stunned, but with such an imposing look, it seems that he still has some ability.

[Lord Fujigoro, I can assure you in the name of my wise Kogoro Nobumitsu that every word I just said is true, and I'm afraid that Lord Date Sakumori-samaru has really given up on you...... Oh yes, it's not just you, but the generals who have been captured just like you, and they seem to have lost the right to return to the Date family. 】

[Phew!] Do you think I'll be detailed, maybe this is a rumor that you deliberately separated me from my lord's relationship! Hum! I am a brother to the Lord, how could he give up on me?! 】

[Brotherhood? …… Even if you lose the battle, pay attention to what I just told you, will Idami Sakumori-sama still regard you as a sibling? Lord Fujigoro, could you please find out what environment you are in? I really can't think of the importance of a defeated general, and who has not been able to make any achievements to be proud of in the past. 】

[Are you looking down on me?! Wise Kogoro! 】

[It's not that I look down on you, Lord Fujigoro, although you are sixteen years old, you still haven't done anything eye-catching...... Of course, I am not qualified to say you, since I was a child, because of my poor health, I have been delaying until the age of sixteen to carry out the Yuan Ceremony, and although I followed the shogun out of the Shogun Echizen, I did not make any meritorious achievements...... However, what I am better than you is that I didn't make any mistakes at that time, so the general saw that I was doing things steadily, so he married my daughter to me...... I'm sorry, it's too far, in a word, do you really have a basis to be looked down upon by others? 】

【……】

The stubborn Itami originally wanted to continue to follow the wise Kogoro to the end, but as soon as he heard the latter say this, he immediately softened and became the same as Kong Yiji who was asked by the Short-Clothes Gang "Since you have read a book, why can't you even get a showman", he lowered his head and couldn't say a complete sentence, but only muttered there and said something that no one could understand.

Wise Kogoro rubbed his temple with his right finger, then sighed quietly and said:

[Lord Fujigoro, it seems that you haven't figured out the cause and effect of the matter, after all, you've been locked up here all along, and you can't get any news, so I'll tell you. 】

Wise Kogoro took a sip of tea.

[Actually, when you [please] Fujigo-sama came to our military camp again, Echigo-samaru and I had already sent an envoy to Lord Itamisakumori, who was in Mukai, saying that we could exchange money for Fujigoro-sama, as well as all the generals of the Date Army who were detained, at the cost of 30,000 taels of silver......]

[You guys want to go crazy for money! 】

Before Wise Kogoro finished speaking, Ita couldn't help but speak first, he seemed to be dissatisfied with why he was so [high] and thought that he should be more [low] ...... Well, such a person, it is the first time in the life of Wise Kogoro to see it.

But now he doesn't want to focus on that.

【Lord Fujigoro! How many times do you want me to say it! You can get into the habit of listening to others and not interjecting until they have finished speaking, which is very annoying?! 】

Wise Kogoro's habit of interjecting when Ida really has something to do finally can't bear it anymore, and he reprimanded repeatedly:

[You are also a child of a prestigious family from a famous family, why don't you even understand this etiquette?!] Haven't you read the book well?! If you do this next time, I won't say a good word to you again! 】

[Sorry! …… Mr. Wise, I was rude, so please go on. 】

I don't know if I was overwhelmed by the momentum of Wise Kogoro, or if I was really embarrassed by my abruptness, but Itami actually apologized for the first time this time, which is really rare.

[I continued, listening to what you just said, Lord Fujigoro, it seems that our price is a little high, what? Do you feel like you're not worth the price? 】

Ita really hesitated a little, then glanced at the eyes of Wise Kogoro, and saw that the other party seemed to be waiting for him to speak, before he spoke:

[It's not that I'm arrogant, it's that I'm ...... After all, I'm only a sixteen-year-old person, and I don't have a particularly close relationship with the Date family in terms of blood, and I'm just an uncle and nephew with my lord Date Misakumori, and I'm afraid the Date family won't pay a lot of money because of this, so 30,000 taels is too high...... Honestly, I'm not worth the price. 】

I really didn't expect that although this guy has a bad attitude and often speaks without thinking through his brain, he is unexpectedly self-aware at this time, and it seems that his price is very low, which makes Wise Kogoro's original somewhat bad opinion of him suddenly a lot better.

It doesn't seem to be just a good-for-nothing [Ah Fei] who can only talk about it.

[Yes, but you don't seem to have heard what I just said, but you are not the only one who was captured this time, there are also forty or fifty generals. 】

[Huh? Are there so many? 】

Do I need to lie to you? Among the captives, three were shoguns, eleven were ashigaru generals, and more than thirty were group leaders, and the middle and lower-level samurai were not the same as you royal grandchildren from famous families, their families were not very wealthy, and they did not have any other valuable property except for one life, so they cherished it extraordinarily, and you were different, you can use the reason of [samurai name] or [the righteousness of the world] to make yourself determined to commit suicide after defeat. 】
