Now that Chojiro had already walked out of the Kajiki Pavilion, Hidemitsu and Hidemune didn't plan to continue watching, so they carefully jumped from the tree to the ground, trying not to make a sound for the people in the house to hear. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chojiro trotted under the tree where Hidemitsu and the others were, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and then said:

"I failed...... I'm sorry, it's rare to be able to go in once......"

Chojiro didn't look very disappointed, though. Xiuguang and Xiuzong glanced at each other, feeling a little strange.

"Chojiro, what did Lord Shinsai-sama tell you just now?"

Hidemitsu felt that the passage that Shinsai said to Chojiro at the end should be the reason why Chojiro was not in such a bad mood.

"I see that although you lost, you didn't look very lost, did you?"

"Ahh Actually, at the end, Lord Shinsai told me that in the future, if I could defeat the children of the Shimazu clan who had just competed with me, he would allow me to go in and study. ”

I guessed it right. Xiuguang nodded, he didn't expect that the previous conjecture was really like this.

"I see. That is, only Shinsai-sama said that you can still challenge the children of the Shimazu family in the future? ”

"Uh-huh! That's it! As long as I practice hard every day, I might be able to beat him in a few years! ”

"A few years...... Anyway, Chojiro, you have to come on. ”

At the mention of this, Chojiro's mood began to rise again.

"Speaking of which! Just now, Lord Wei Xinzhai said a few words to me. ”

"What?"

"He said, 'Let your companions be careful when you go down the tree, so that you don't fall and get hurt,' and that's it. Haha, it's really worthy of being Lord Weixinzhai, what a keenness! Even Yoshibei and Hyojiro who were hiding in the tree found it! ”

Chojiro smiled silly, looking very happy. But Xiuguang and Xiuzong were not happy at all, but were scared out of a cold sweat by this sentence.

I didn't expect to find out...... It's Shimazu Yushinsai. Xiuguang secretly wiped a handful of sweat in his heart, feeling a little afraid.

"Ahh It's almost time for me to chop wood! ”

Chojiro looked at the hour and felt that it was time to go home and work,

"I'm sorry! Yoshibei-sama and Hyojiro-sama, I have to go home. If you don't hurry back to help the family, your mother will be angry! ”

"Well, goodbye then, Chojiro."

As soon as he ran a few meters away, Chojiro seemed to think of something, and came to Hidemitsu Hidemune's side again.

"Where do Yoshibei-sama and Hyojiro-sama live? When will we see each other again? ”

"Haha, we,"

Hidemitsu smiled and patted the slightly shorter Chojiro on the shoulder,

"We live far away, you can't go without a certain strength. As for goodbye, it depends on fate. If you do become the governor of the Togo family one day, we may see you again. ”

"Uh-huh! Good! By the way, thank you one last day! If it weren't for Yoshibei-sama and Hyojiro-sama, I don't think I would even be able to enter the Kajiki Museum! If Yoshibei-sama and Hyojiro-sama have anything to ask me about in the future, I, Chojiro, will definitely agree! Bye! ”

Regarding some of the things that Hidemitsu inadvertently revealed in his words just now, Chojiro didn't care at all. Well, he's still a kid after all.

After making a seemingly nonsensical promise that "you can come to me for help if you are in trouble", Chojiro turned around and said goodbye and left.

Looking at the figure of Chojiro walking away in the direction of the town after leaving, Hidemune sighed:

"This kid is really interesting! But speaking of which, Your Highness, can we ever see him again? ”

"Who knows, fate is all in the sky. If there is any fate, we will meet again one day. ”

Xiuguang doesn't have any special expectations for things like fate. What he was looking forward to was Chojiro.

"How far can he go? I'm really looking forward to it. Maybe one day when we see him again, he has already achieved his dream. Well...... But at that time, maybe the identity of the two of us and the way we met were not what they are now. ”

Children who chase their dreams, children who want to break the rules. That's a bit of a dazzling thing.

Because of today's small turning point, what Chojiro's future will be changed into, whether it is Hidemitsu, Hidemune, or Chojiro himself, it is not very clear.

"Well, that's it. It's also time for us to go back. ”

"Huh?"

Xiuzong was very puzzled by his Royal Highness's words,

"Your Highness, don't we have to go in and see Lord Weixinzhai? Don't you want to meet him? ”

"The purpose has been achieved, and I have indeed met him, and he has 'seen' us from there. And...... It's too dangerous to meet that person now. ”

Hidemitsu turned to look at the Kajiki Pavilion not far from them, with a vigilant look in his eyes,

"This man's sensitivity is definitely not as bad as that of the water lord. It's fine just now in the tree, but if you meet and talk directly, I don't know how much you will be seen. As I said earlier, this person is very realistic. If our intelligence here is known to him...... I don't know how things are going to turn out. ”

This man is not a simple dumbfounded martial artist. He is Yoshihiro "Onishimazu" who survived the most chaotic period of the real Warring States period, as well as countless wars and family political struggles.

"If you want me to say it, the biggest thing we learned from coming to Osumi Province this time is that we know roughly what kind of person Shimazu Yushisai is. There may be a lot of things we haven't figured out, but that's enough for now. ”

Xiuguang roughly sorted out the meaning of this trip,

"All in all, all I can conclude now is that this man is terrible and should not be approached rashly...... No, you can't approach this Satsuma Shimazu family rashly. This family is not something that a small person can shake now. ”

Dangerous and realistic, not to be approached. This is Xiuguang's judgment.

……

……

The next thing is to return.

After finishing all the trips in Kyushu, Hidemitsu and the others boarded the return boat on the same day and started the return journey.

Of course, the boat on the return trip was still the ship of Qinghai and Yisan.

For this trip to Kyushu, of course, Xiuguang is very satisfied. The harvest of this trip was not in vain in his arrangement and planning. These gains, both politically and economically, were of great benefit to the Toyotomi family.

Hidemitsu firmly believes that these harvests will be the light of the revival of the Toyotomi family in the future.

In short, this trip to Kyushu is over. Xiuguang and they also embarked on the return journey.

However, it is worth mentioning that on the way back from Xiuguang, they heard a sad news.

The former governor of the Kuroda family, Kuroda Rusui, died quietly in Ninomaru in Fukuoka Castle.

I heard that Rushui walked very calmly, as if he had let go of some burden.

After hearing the news, Xiuguang didn't say anything, silently closed his eyes, and prayed in his heart for this old man who had experienced that troubled era.

Kuroda Kanwei, a Warring States military commander known as a genius careerist, quietly left this world like an ordinary old man.
