Everyone in the room with their heads bowed couldn't help but hold their breath at this moment. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After Chongcheng's loud announcement, a rhythmic footstep also entered the room from outside the room, appearing very calm and slow.

Even if you don't have to look up, everyone knows that the person who comes is Xiulai.

Footsteps slowly moved from the edge of the room to the main seat at the front, and after a small sound of clothes rubbing against each other, the sound in the room fell silent again.

Although Xiu Lai, who was sitting on the main seat, did not squint, the rise and fall of his chest was very obvious.

He took a few deep breaths before blinking and wandering his gaze around the room.

The younger brother Hidemitsu sat in front of everyone. In the back were eight people arranged according to their status, only the one sitting behind the younger brother was an adult, and the others were still relatively young.

After seeing Sangoro, who was still a toddler sitting in the middle position, Hideyori couldn't help but feel a little surprised and a little curious.

Because everyone bowed their heads and made a respectful gesture, Xiulai could not see their faces, nor could he identify their specific ages and identities.

"Lift up, lift up your head. No need to be polite. ”

Xiu Lai used a deliberately lowered voice to ease the tension in his heart, and then said this to everyone.

After hearing Xiu Lai's words, Xiu Jia and the others sat up with their waists bowed up, and their heads were raised, facing Xiu Lai directly.

Although Xiu Lai himself has long been accustomed to the eyes of others on formal occasions, even if there are only more than a dozen people present now, he still feels a little inexplicably flustered and uncomfortable.

He swept his eyes over the crowd, and his gaze suddenly stopped on someone's face.

"You...... Could it be a showman? ”

Xiu Lai's eyes widened, and his tone trembled slightly, as if he couldn't believe it.

The moment Xiujia raised his head, he also clearly saw the appearance of Xiu Lai sitting on a high seat.

His reaction was similar to that of Hideyori when he saw him, but it was noticeably much more intense.

“…… Six, six, six years have not been seen...... I didn't expect you're already such a majestic teenager ......"

Hideya resisted the urge to bow his head and cry, and turned it into a smile and praise and reverence for Hideyori.

What a joy my father would have been if he could see Hideyori-sama's current posture!

The Hideya, who has always regarded Hideyoshi as the same as his biological father, said silently in his heart.

If it weren't for someone who had such strong feelings like the Xiu family, he would probably never have been able to understand how he felt at this time!

"Ukita Hachiro Hideya, after six years, see Hideyori-sama again! It's an honor for me to see you again! ”

The young man in front of him is the only lord he swore allegiance to after the death of Taiko Hideyoshi, and it is also the sustenance and bearing of his feelings for that man who is like a father.

"I'm glad to see you again...... Xiujia. ”

The young Xiu Lai responded to the loyalty of the Xiu family.

His lips trembled, his chest continued to rise and fall, and his eyes showed a strange color, obviously infected by the atmosphere just now, and his originally nervous heart began to become more and more excited.

It's one thing to respond. However, for the Xiu family, who returned to him after six years, Xiu Lai was still a little surprised when he saw him for the first time.

Xiujia's face at this time looked a little haggard and vicissitudes, the wrinkles on his forehead also became obvious, his cheeks were a little thin, and his fingers were covered with scars.

So Xiulai was very surprised and surprised.

The showman, who was once known as a beautiful man, has now become like this.

How many changes have been experienced in it, the smart Xiulai can naturally vaguely understand.

"Hideyori-sama, this is the eldest daughter's Hidetaka, and the eldest man's Koheita. Because of Hidemitsu-sama, he escaped from hell safely with me. Now, I would like to pay my respects to you. ”

The two people sitting behind the Xiu family are Xiu Gao and Xiao Heita. They also followed their father's example and greeted Xiu Lai respectfully.

"It's a great pleasure to be able to officially return to the Ukita clan in the presence of my elder brother."

Xiuguang, who was sitting in front of Xiujia and the others, slapped his palms and expressed heartfelt emotion and congratulations.

"Except for the Ukita clan, the other brothers and adults present are not familiar with each other. So next, I'll introduce my brother one by one. ”

Xiuguang sat down and bowed to Xiulai, and then looked at the people behind him.

"These two are Yashiro and Sangoro, and they are brothers."

After the Uki family, there are two brothers, Yamijiro and Sangoro.

Yamizoro knew what he was doing, so he was very serious, sitting up straight and not squinting. And his younger brother's Sangoro is not old enough to remember, so from time to time he will tilt his head, open his mouth, and even open his big eyes and smile at Shurai, who is sitting in a high seat.

"Their father is Gifu Nayan Hidenobu-sama."

"Gifu ......"

Xiu Yori was really surprised. After remembering which Zhong Nayan was, he asked his younger brother who was in charge of the introduction with suspicion:

"Hidenobu-sama...... Isn't it already deceased? And it doesn't seem to be ......."

"Hidenobu-sama has indeed passed away in Koyasan. But he left two children over there, and they were not known to the world. Their brother had a token from Lord Hidenobu as a basis. ”

Knowing that his brother was wondering something, Hidemitsu immediately began to explain.

"In 1605, the first month of last year, I went to Koyasan to visit Hidenobu-sama, who was critically ill. Knowing that he was about to die, he entrusted his sons, Yamijiro and Sangoro, to me. ”

"I didn't expect you to go and visit Hidenobu-sama without me......"

Xiulai smiled bitterly twice, then shook his head.

"I'm sorry, my brother. Because the situation at that time had to hide it from you. The reason why I have asked Yashiro and Sangoro to meet you now is to establish the legitimacy of Yashiro. ”

"Legitimacy?"

was suddenly changed to a topic, so that Xiu Lai had no time to react.

"Yes. Yashiro is also six years old. After a while, it will almost be time to hold the Yuanfu ceremony. I would like to ask my elder brother to personally hold a motofu ceremony for Yamizoro. ”

Hidemitsu roughly explained his expectations to his brother Hideyori.

"At that time, even if I can't publicize it to the world for the time being, I hope that you, brother, will personally recognize Yamijiro's legitimacy in the Oda family. He is the well-deserved heir of the Oda Danmasa family. ”
