Hideshin dragged his seriously ill body out of the futon, as if he wanted to kowtow to Hidemitsu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiuguang and Xiuzong hurriedly helped Xiuxin back into the futon, signaling that he didn't need to be polite.

"Lord Hidenobu, in fact, this trip originated from Lord Hideyasu's request. She heard the news that you were seriously ill, so I came here. ”

Xiukang ...... Is Yuuki-sama? ”

"Yes, but her current Miao character has been changed to 'Matsudaira', and her name is Matsudaira Hideyasu."

"Why...... Lord Yuuki will ask His Highness to come and visit me...... Lord Yuuki, aren't you already on the side of Tokugawa......"

Hideno's pale face was full of doubts, and then suddenly a strange color flashed on his face, and he asked Hidemitsu:

"Your Highness Xiuguang, could it be...... This is related to His Excellency Bizen, who died unexpectedly a few months ago? ”

"Huh? Why does Hidenobu-sama think so? ”

Xiuguang was surprised, he didn't expect Xiuxin to associate with Xiujia so quickly.

"Your Excellency Bizen has always had a close relationship with Yuuki-sama...... I was a big name before I was exiled...... If you can't guess this, you will be ashamed of your father and grandfather's reputation...... So, sure enough, what happened to your Excellency...... Is there something weird? ”

"It's worthy of Hidenobu-sama, it's really sharp. Then, please don't tell Lord Hidenobu, if the information leaks, our Toyotomi family will be very troubled. ”

"I know...... Of course, I won't reveal it to the old fox of Tokugawa...... His Royal Highness is really powerful, and I am really surprised that he was able to hide it from Tokugawa...... Also, thank you Your Highness for coming to visit me personally, I haven't been here for a long time. ”

As he spoke, Hidenobu suddenly coughed violently again, clutching his chest and looking out of breath, so he could only lie down again.

"No, no, no, Lord Hidenobu, don't be thankful, I am here on behalf of Lord Xiuyasu and Lord Xiujia, and at the same time, I want to come and visit you. After all, Hidenobu-sama also lived under the knees of his deceased father for a period of time, and it was also because of the affairs of the Toyotomi family that he was reduced to the current hard situation. That's why I'm a person who has been blessed by Hidenobu-sama and can't help but come. ”

Hearing Xiuguang say this, Xiuxin's eyes suddenly flashed with tears, and he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

Hidemitsu never took for granted the actions of these daimyo who joined the Western Army during the Battle of Sekigahara. Their willingness to join the Western Army, whether driven by affection or profit, was a favor to the ailing Toyotomi family, who had lost Taiko Hideyoshi at the time.

Therefore, Xiuguang believes that these people must be treated with courtesy, and they must find ways to protect their personal interests in exile to the greatest extent.

"His Royal Highness Xiuguang, Lady Yodo and Changyi...... Are they healthy? ”

"Mother and Changyi have always been in good health, thank you Hidenobu for your concern."

As soon as he talked about his physical problems, Hidemitsu remembered that he had come to visit Hidenobu's condition in the first place.

"Ah, I'm sorry for the delay, so let's get down to business. Hidenobu-sama, how is your health? I heard that the situation is very bad, do you really need to ask some doctors to take a look? ”

"Haha...... Thank you Your Highness for your concern...... However, it is no longer necessary...... Several famous doctors from Beijing have come to see me...... But it's all the same result, and there's nothing that can be done...... It's a terminal illness. Not this year...... I'm going to die. ”

Hidenobu forced a smile in front of Xiuguang, hoping that this little highness would not worry too much about himself.

When Xiuguang heard the word "terminal illness", his eyes also dimmed.

It's really not a good feeling to watch a life disappear before your eyes and you can't do anything about it.

Life is a fragile thing. Xiuguang lowered his head and remembered the past again.

However, he quickly came back to his senses, bowed his head to Hideshin with a wry smile, and said:

"I'm so sorry...... We can't help your ......."

"Ah...... His Royal Highness Xiuguang does not need to blame himself...... Will you come and visit me...... I'm already satisfied...... I no longer want to be cured......"

Hidenobu waved his hand at Hidemitsu and smiled and motioned for Hidemitsu not to feel guilty about his illness. At the same time, he also said self-deprecatingly:

"Well...... I'm going to die in a place like Koyasan...... It's a kind of retribution and debt repayment......"

"Retribution? Debt repayment? ”

Xiuguang asked a little puzzled.

"Your Highness probably doesn't know...... After all, it was a long time ago...... My grandfather, Oda Nobunaga, once had a conquest of Kishu in the 5th year of Tensho (1577...... There was another attack on Koyasan...... Alas, among them, the people who died because of their grandfather...... But there are a lot of them, and everyone must have a grudge against my Oda family...... However, after being exiled to this point, the monks on the mountain did not treat me well, but when they were still on the mountain, they were much better off than they are here......"

Hidenobu looked at the current cottage and said with a wry smile.

"So, I'm going to spend the rest of my life here now...... It's the best result......"

Hidemitsu listened and knew that he had already seen the exile, so he didn't say anything more.

"That's right...... Your Highness Xiuguang, I actually said that there is no need for it...... But there was still a reluctant request...... I hope Your Highness will grant me, this is the last request of my life. ”

Hidenobu suddenly seemed to remember something, and the gloom in his eyes disappeared and turned into a light of hope. He tried his best to get up from the futon again, and held Xiuguang's hand tightly with both hands.

"I don't know what Hidenobu-sama has requested, but if Hidemitsu can do it, I will definitely agree to you."

After hearing Hidemitsu's assurance, the flame of hope in his eyes burned even more.

He spoke slowly, uttering the last and most important request of his life, and now the most important request to him.

"His Royal Highness Xiuguang...... I'm dying, so ...... I hope Your Highness will be able to take my two young sons away...... Raise them...... That's my last wish......"

"Hidenobu-sama's ...... Youngest son? I've never heard of Hidenobu-sama having children, huh? ”

Hidenobu's words made Hidemitsu a little surprised, when did he have a child?

"When I first came into exile...... It's relatively free...... You are not allowed to leave Koyasan, but it is okay to walk at the base of the mountain often...... At that time, I met a lone woman in a remote village at the foot of the mountain...... So there was Yashiro...... However, she was some time ago...... When she gave birth to Sangoro, she left me......"

Speaking of which, Hideno's tears couldn't be stopped, and he kept shedding tears. His voice choked up, and he looked grief-stricken. Apparently, he loved the woman who had passed away.

"I have such a relationship with her, no one knows about it...... I'm worried...... If I take these two children over to me...... Will be discovered by the Asano family...... Then, what awaits them is the same unfree life as mine...... So, for the time being, I entrusted them to their great-grandmother...... But she's also very old...... There's no way to pull these two kids up......"

Xiuxin threw himself to the ground, hoping that Xiuguang could agree to him.

"So...... My final request...... Please ask His Highness Hidemitsu to agree...... If Hideshin had an afterlife, he would definitely die for you! ”

Xiuguang nodded and immediately responded:

"I know, I promised."

Xiuxin, who fulfilled his last wish, also nodded reassuringly and quieted down.

Xiuguang and his party took the token given by Xiuxin and walked out of the hut.
