Chapter 30: A Childlike Duel
What appears in front of Xiuguang now is the inexplicable tearing scene between Xiuzong and Xiugao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Old man, what's wrong with them?"
Xiuguang sat down next to the old man and couldn't help asking.
"Ahaha, it's nothing. Just now, that bastard boy of Hyogoro couldn't control his eyes after you went out, and glanced around at Miss Hidetaka, and then Miss Hidetaka was not happy, and after a few words, the two of them became what they are now. ”
The old man looked at the lively expression, stroked his beard, picked up a glass of wine and took a sip gently.
Xiuguang knew that the old man was not going to persuade him when he looked like that, so he sighed helplessly.
"Even the Hide-sama ......"
Looking at Xiujia's smile, Xiuguang knew that he should not be going to take care of his daughter.
In the middle of the back room, Xiuzong and Xiugao are still constantly arguing.
"What?! You call me ugly?! Young Master Ben is obviously a graceful jade tree in the wind, you stinky woman is ugly! ”
"Where you are ugly is that nasty heart of yours! No matter how good-looking you are, if you are dirty in your heart, you will still be just as ugly! ”
"What?! You stinky woman, Young Master Ben won't make a move on you for the sake of being a woman! I can't afford to save your nose when you cry! ”
"You'd better worry about yourself first, Mr. Xiuzong! That's up to me! ”
“…… You! That's what you said...... Let's have one! Let's see who is supposed to say that! ”
"Good! Just let you, a disciple, see how incompetent you are! ”
The two quarreled menacingly, and then quickly separated. Xiuzong walked quickly in front of Xiuguang and said:
"Your Highness! Please allow me to duel with this stinky woman! She has insulted me many times, and I want justice for my reputation! ”
Xiuguang looked at him with a mentally retarded expression, thinking to himself, Hyogoro, you are originally a lustful disciple, and people are not wrong at all.
Xiuguang looked back, and Xiugao was also asking his father Xiujia.
"Father-sama, Date Hyogoro Hidemune's behavior just now is a provocation and insult to me! That's why I asked for a duel with him too! Father, please allow me! ”
Xiujia shook his head a little embarrassed, as if he was worried that an accident would happen if the two duel. Xiuguang is also a little difficult to decide, after all, if two people really want to fight each other, and accidentally hurt each other, it will be terrible. And Xiuzong doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will brake in time.
At this time, the old man, who had been sitting leisurely on the side, made a casual appearance and spoke:
"Isn't it okay for the old man to be a witness, anyway, it's just two little ghosts, and they don't hold real knives and guns, what are you worried about? If there is really something to do, the old man can control the scene. ”
Hearing this, Xiuguang shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and nodded for permission. When the Xiu family saw Xiuguang's consent, they were also relieved and agreed to their daughter.
The old man led the two out of the house and came to the empty flat land in the middle of the small courtyard. Xiuguang and the others also followed them out.
"All the messengers are handed over to the old man, you use this."
Without saying a word, the old man directly took away the gap between Xiuzong and Xiugao's waists, and threw them two wooden knives.
Xiuzong reluctantly took the wooden knife. Because he had been practicing with real knives before, he wondered why he had to use a wooden knife for such a serious duel at this time.
Xiu Gao calmly took the wooden knife, as if it had no effect on her at all.
The two pulled apart, wooden knives in their hands and facing each other. The old man stood in the middle of the distance between the two.
During this period, Xiuguang looked at Xiujia, who was standing and watching, and asked:
"Lord Xiujia, how is Xiugao's martial arts?"
Xiujia thought about it and said with a smile:
"Hmm...... Hidetaka was a kid who had always been fond of playing with swords since he was a child, but he hadn't touched any of these things since he was imprisoned with me. But—"
Before the Xiujia finished speaking, the old man shouted loudly:
"Let's go!"
Xiuzong and Xiutaka rushed towards each other at a rapid speed, and the huge friction sound caused by the rapid collision of wooden knives spread throughout the small courtyard.
"--Xiugao's swordsmanship is never bad."
Xiujia said the second half of the sentence indifferently.
Xiuguang probe looked at the situation in the field.
The two were now in a stalemate, neither could push the other, and both stared at each other with hideous expressions.
"You...... As a woman, you can actually compete with my Xiuzong......"
Sensing the strength and momentum of the other party conveyed from the wooden knife, Xiuzong gritted his teeth and steadied his body with all his might.
"Her Excellency Major General Yuuki in Echizen is also a woman, why don't you go and compete with her?"
Xiugao, who completely overwhelmed Xiuzong in momentum, hooked the corners of his mouth and sarcastically said.
Xiuzong's figure is far taller and taller than Xiu, and the two are not close in height or physique. Suffering from the sarcasm of Xiugao, who was far thinner than himself and was still a woman, Xiuzong was about to be mad, and his face turned red.
When the two were in a stalemate, Xiuguang turned his gaze away from the duel scene between the two and turned to the Xiujia beside him.
"By the way, Lord Xiu, there is one thing I forgot to tell you."
"Huh? Hidemitsu-sama, what's the matter? ”
Xiujia looked over suspiciously.
"It's not so easy to get information that you're imprisoned in Suruga Kunikunoji. But luckily, one person broke this important news to us. ”
"I wonder who it is?"
"It's Echizen-sama Matsudaira-sama."
Hearing this name, the Xiu family was stunned. It took him several seconds before he slowly recovered, and asked in a strange tone in a low voice:
“…… Is it really Xiukang? ”
"Yes, absolutely. We went to watch a sumo tournament held by Hideyasu in July, and she gave us this secret during this time. ”
Xiuguang had just heard Xiugao mention Xiukang's name when Xiugao was dueling with Xiuzong, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to tell Xiujia the real and most important source of information that rescued him.
"Alas, I didn't expect it to be that guy......"
Xiujia sighed and looked up at the sky.
"I invited her to join Ishida-sama's team during the Sekigahara War, but I didn't expect her to decline. I thought I had already broken off my love, but I didn't expect her to be willing to save me......"
"Lord Xiuyasu, after all, Lord Ieyasu is the biological father of Lord Xiuyasu. There are many times when you are in the world and you can't help yourself. So stop blaming her. ”
"I know...... It's just that I've been thinking that Ieyasu-sama is her father, so it's hard for His Royal Highness Taiko, isn't it? …… Alas, it's not to blame her......"
In Xiujia's words, there is a wonderful feeling for Xiukang who can't explain it. He lowered his head, and his eyes seemed to reflect the past time and years that he and Xiukang had experienced together.
They grew up together, and many of them were not known to Xiuguang, so Xiuguang chose to agree with his thoughts by being silent.
Human feelings are always wonderful, and human choices are also wonderful sometimes, so sometimes life may be very wonderful. Xiuguang thought so.
"Lord Xiuguang, can you let me repair a book and send it to Xiukang's place?"
Xiujia, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked this question. Xiuguang nodded and said with a smile:
"Absolutely."
