Chapter 107: The Road Left Behind
There was a hiss, and the door to the room was opened from the inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Naoyuki and Li'an both looked over a little nervously, and of course Xiuzong and Xiujia and Jeonden were no exception.
Coming out of the room was a calm look.
Before Naozhi Rian and the other retainers could open their mouths to ask, Hidemitsu spoke in a commanding tone:
"Lord Rushui asked you to go in immediately, saying that there is something to order."
“……!”
Lize, who was a little anxious, was about to ask, but his younger brother Naoyuki covered his mouth. Zhizhi knows very well that when the elder brother Rushui has something important to order, it is better for the retainers not to delay, otherwise the elder Rushui will be very annoyed.
"Let's go inside."
After taking a deep look at Hidemitsu, Ryan patted the shoulder of Yushin Musato and Inoue Nobo next to him, signaling them not to talk too much with this child who seemed to be an attendant now.
So, although Leize still had great curiosity and questions, he was dragged into the room by his younger brother and Lean.
"Your Highness, what just happened?"
As soon as these Kuroda family retainers entered, Hidemune immediately approached with some curiosity and asked Hidemitsu.
"It's hard to say yet...... I'll explain it to you in detail when I'm out of town. ”
Xiuguang folded his arms and smiled mysteriously.
After Xiuzong saw this smile of his Royal Highness, he didn't say anything more. Because he knew very well that once His Highness showed such a smile, it meant that things must be going well.
“…… We're worried. ”
Quan Deng covered his chest with his hands with some palpitations, and at the same time tightly grasped the small cross hanging on his chest,
“…… It's been more than two hours since you first entered, my lord. ”
After listening to Quan Deng's words, Xiuguang hurriedly looked up at the sky in the courtyard, and sure enough, it was close to dusk and sunset.
I didn't expect to talk to that old man like water for so long.
When Xiuguang was thinking about this, he didn't forget to wipe the beads of sweat on his head.
"Well, our Highness must have done it perfectly this time! I used to hear others say that the momentum of the old man Rushui was terrifying, but now look at His Highness, it seems that it is nothing~"
This is the mouthy Xiuzong.
.
These are the two words that Xiuguang spat out in his heart after hearing Xiuzong's words.
Recalling the fact that he had been talking with Rushui for two hours just now, Xiuguang still felt extremely palpitations. Rather, Xiuguang felt very unbelievable that he had just been able to stay in it for two hours.
To be honest, if I could, I wouldn't want to see you a second time.
Seeing his Royal Highness looking at him with contempt, Xiuzong closed his mouth in understanding.
At this moment, the door to the room was opened again. It was Naoyuki who had just entered not long ago.
"Lord Rushui ordered me to take a few people out of the city first."
When Naoyuki was talking, he still didn't forget to look at Xiuguang with puzzled eyes. However, it is estimated that it was because of Rushui's order, so he didn't ask anything more.
"Then I'm tired of my lord."
This time, it was not Jeon Deng who said this, but Xiuguang.
Naoyuki's eyes narrowed more and more, but he still obeyed his brother Rushui's order, didn't say a word, and silently led the way for Xiuguang and his party.
According to the request of Hidemitsu and his party, Naoyuki just sent them outside the city.
As for Quan Deng, he decided to walk with the Xiu family for a while. Naoyuki didn't say much, just nodded and agreed to his next choice.
Immediately afterwards, Naoyuki immediately returned to Ninomaru in Fukuoka Castle, preparing to receive another order from Rusui.
……
……
"What ?!!!"
After listening to what the old lord Rushui had just said, all the people present were taken aback.
“…… I really didn't expect it. ”
Naoyuki, who had just sent Xiuguang and his party back, opened his eyes wide after listening to it, and slowly spit out this sentence from his mouth,
“…… It's actually Toyotomi. ”
Lean's facial muscles also moved, a little incredulous.
"My brother can tell at a glance that kid is from the Toyotomi family?! It's amazing! ”
This is a side of the Lejvo.
“…… You guys, why are you so surprised? ”
Compared with the surprise of the retainers and younger brothers, Rushui is very calm.
"That Hidemitsu-sama is here...... It's a great blessing for our Kuroda family......"
"Luck?" ”
“…… Isn't it? ”
Looking at everyone's surprised reactions, Rushui couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
"Brother, what the hell do you want to do?"
Naoyuki was puzzled, so he asked directly.
"I just wrote him a few letters......"
Rushui saw that everyone was confused, so he decided to explain it clearly.
"One of them can only be opened conditionally...... And that condition is ......"
The eyes of the water change blurry, making it impossible to really grasp the true meaning of this person,
“…… That condition is...... When a certain war broke out. ”
Although the retainers present were not as sharp as Shui, they were not dull people. They immediately understood the meaning of water from the words of water.
“…… I told Hidemitsu-sama...... When that war broke out...... So he gave the letter to Lean. ”
"Give it to me?"
"That's right...... Then ......"
The next words that came out of the mouth of the water shocked them greatly.
“…… Are you sure you really want to do this, my lord? ”
After listening to this, the words were already a little trembling, Li'an asked.
"Your Excellency...... W-This is not a trivial matter......"
Yushin's eyes widened as well.
And Rushui did not react to their violent reaction.
"Brother! Is this really good?! ”
Of course, Naoyuki needs to ask about it, because it's really too important, it's really too important.
“…… What are you panicking about, straight. ”
Rushui shrugged his thin shoulders, pulled Naoyuki to his side, and whispered in his ear:
“…… It's like you're covering up Quandeng. No, it's like you're hiding something about Ukita. ”
“……?!!”
Hearing his brother mention the matter of the Xiu family, Naoyuki couldn't help but feel excited.
“…… Hara, so you know, brother. ”
"Hmph...... The best way to see people is to look at ...... Then think more about what has happened in recent years...... This makes it easy to guess......"
“…… I'm so sorry, brother. ”
“…… You don't need to apologize to me...... As I just said, what I do is much the same as yours, nothing more than to leave one more way to go. ”
After the brothers' whispers, Rushui raised his head and said to the retainers:
“…… What I did was nothing more than to leave an extra way back for the Kuroda family. Recent...... I've heard that there are a lot of confrontations happening within the family......"
After listening to Rushui's words, these old ministers and retainers who believed in Catholicism did not dare to say anything.
"This goes down...... The future of our Kuroda family...... But it's dangerous...... So, now is the time to leave a way back for the family......"
He hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a sly smile,
“…… In that case...... Whether it was Tokugawa's victory...... Or Toyotomi's victory...... We, the Kuroda family, will still exist in this world. ”
The empty room flickered quietly in it with the light of the extinguishing fire of the oil lamp.
