"Your Highness, Lord Xiu, they are all ready!"

At noon the next day, Xiuzong rushed back from the old man's mansion and roughly reported to Xiuguang that everyone was ready. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"That guy is really capable! In a short period of time, all the clothes that the Lord Xiu family and others need to wear have been prepared and perfected, and he is worthy of my colleagues in Xiuzong! ”

While praising Shang Chang, Xiuzong did not forget to improve his status by the way.

"The formal costumes of Hideya-sama, Hidetaka, Koheita, Yamizoro, Sangoro, Katsubei, Tsuranosuke and Tsukichiyo are all ready, and Shocho has only chosen materials of earthy colors according to your Highness's orders. But it fits well and is good. ”

"Yes. It seems that it will be a long time before it is better to be rewarded afterwards. ”

In short, it is very in line with Xiuguang's requirements, and the Xiu family is also very satisfied. Shang Chang completed the task given to him by Xiuguang very perfectly.

"How is Shang Chang now? Didn't you come back with Bingoro? ”

Xiuguang looked behind Xiuzong and found that there was no Shang Chang's figure.

"Ah, that guy is too tired, so he went directly to the old man's side to rest, he said that it would be more convenient to deal with the affairs over there, let me come back and confess to your Highness."

It's strange to stay up all night to do things without getting tired.

Xiuguang expressed his understanding and appreciation for this, so he did not blame Shang Chang.

"By the way, is there any movement on my brother's side?"

"Lady Hideyori's side? No, I don't. I just went to inquire a little, and Hideyori-sama was pretty much the same as usual, with no particularly noticeable movements. ”

"Yes. Then rest assured, my brother is really not the kind of person who will choose to escape. ”

Xiuguang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whether the Toyotomi family rises or falls, it depends on tonight......"

……

……

It's late at night.

Xiulai was also as Xiuguang expected, and did not choose to escape, and was sitting in the study at this time and waiting for the closing.

However, what was different from his usual life was that he had spent a lot of time changing the clothes he wore from the pajamas-like clothes he often wore at night to a combination of a black hat and a neat pale blue straight down formal wear.

And tonight, his hair is also specially groomed beautifully, and the corner that is revealed under the cover of the black hat looks particularly black and shiny.

Anyway, but Xiulai is really suitable for this outfit. Not only formal, but also very able to bring out the wearer's noble temperament and spiritual outlook.

As for why he changed his outfits, it was because Hideyori, who has always been serious, believed that even if the meeting was only held in secret, it had to be formal. Of course, there was nothing wrong with his thoughts.

Changing into formal attire when meeting others is not only a requirement of etiquette for oneself, but also a minimum of respect for the other party in the meeting.

Although he was going to meet ...... Or rather, the people who were going to meet him were inferior to him, but Hideyori thought so.

“…… Hideyori-sama, is it necessary to be so formal in a secret meeting? ”

Chongcheng is the person in charge of serving Xiu Yori after changing this whole set of clothes. Xiu Lai's overly serious attitude made him not quite understand.

But...... If it was Hideyori-sama, it wouldn't be surprising that he would do this. While convincing himself like this, Chongcheng tidied up the straight hangs that were still a little wrinkled for Xiulai.

Xiu Lai didn't reply, but there were a lot of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

“…… I feel a little chilly in my hands and feet. ”

“…… Chills in the hands and feet? Is it the reason for the untimely clothing? Go and get other clothes off the horse. ”

"No, you don't. It's not the clothing. ”

Shuyori shook his head, then took a deep breath and placed his palm on top of his knee that kept repeating the opening and closing motion.

Although I deliberately want to hide my current mood, I still reveal some small details.

“…… Elder brother, Xiuguang is here. ”

Soon after, there was a soft knock on the sliding door of the study.

After getting permission from Xiu Lai, Xiuguang and the three of them gently opened the sliding door and stepped into the study.

“…… Elder Brother ...... What are you? ”

When Xiuguang saw clearly the serious outfit on his brother's body, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"As the head of the Toyotomi family, you should dress formally when meeting others, right?"

Xiu Lai noticed Xiuguang's surprised eyes, so he frowned and said:

"That's the respect for the other side of the meeting. But Hidemitsu, as the son of the Toyotomi family, why don't you treat people in formal clothes when they meet? ”

He looked at the ordinary dark clothes worn by the three of Xiuguang, and was a little dissatisfied.

"No, no, no, brother, you misunderstood what I meant."

Xiuguang hurriedly waved his hand and explained what he meant:

"We also brought formal attire. Formal attire is of course required for later meetings. But not now. ”

As he spoke, Xiuzong and Shang Chang behind him raised the cloth bag that had been in his hand and waved it, indicating that it was the formal clothes that he was going to wear.

"Why not prepare it beforehand? Wouldn't it be more convenient to put on your clothes before you set off? ”

Xiulai still didn't stretch his brow.

“…… Brother, it's late at night. If you go out in this outfit, you won't be able to cover it even at night. Our actions are secret. ”

It is estimated that the formal dress that Hideyori is wearing now will reflect the faint light source everywhere in the night because of the flowing gold ornaments embroidered on it. That's why it's very eye-catching.

Although Xiuguang wanted to say something again, considering that it was the first time that his brother had officially done such a secret thing to leave the city at night, he didn't keep talking about it.

"Hurry up, Hideyori-sama and Shigesei are both you, hurry up and change your clothes. We're about to go. ”

Xiuzong roughly calculated the time and felt that it could not be delayed any longer.

“…… It's that I didn't realize the problem for a while. I'm sorry. ”

After a little clicking, Xiulai immediately realized the problem, and didn't say anything more, but immediately asked Chongcheng to help change the clothes on his body.

After some tossing, the problem of wearing was finally solved.

Then he immediately blew out the lights, and walked out of the study under the cover of the night, and entered the secret passage under Osaka Castle, and followed it all the way away from the castle.

By the time they arrived at the old man's mansion on the outskirts of the city, it was already half an hour later.
