Chapter Ninety-One: The Reason for Coming Here
Hidemitsu sat behind the Hideya from the beginning, quietly observing Akashi Quanden and his son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Akashi Junto, this man, looks like a devout Catholic. The small cross around his neck, which had been nursed to the spotless, was evidently a man who was particularly zealous in prayer.
Hidemitsu has no particular feelings for Catholicism, neither disgust nor liking. Because after all, he is a modern person, so he can often look at some things with a more objective eye. Catholicism is a strong medicine for this era, which can be used appropriately, but never excessively.
However, Xiuguang believes that at least its teachings are good, but it may be used by some people. Therefore, Xiuguang has reservations about Catholicism.
At least, Jeon Deng seems to be a kind and gentle person, and Xiuguang's first impression of him is not bad.
This person is one of the five people in Osaka in the future, so he must have a certain strength and power.
As for Quan Deng's son Jing Xing, he doesn't look like a Catholic, he doesn't wear a cross around his neck like his father Quan Deng, and his words and deeds are also the style of a normal son of a martial artist.
When Xiuguang was observing Quandeng and his son, Xiujia also told Quandeng and Jingxing about his escape, and then turned around and respectfully introduced Quandeng to him, and then introduced him to Quandeng and his son.
Seeing the mixed looks of panic, suspicion and disbelief in Jeon Deng and Jing Xing after knowing his identity, Xiuguang felt a little uncomfortable.
Is it so strange and unbelievable that I, a member of the Toyotomi family, ran out?
Well, it's surprising enough for a child to do these things. Xiuguang was a little helpless, thinking so.
Looking at Quan Deng and Jing Xing, who were staring at him speechless with wide eyes, Xiuguang decided to speak first.
"Are you the Akashi Sweeper?"
Xiuguang asked Jeon Deng in his usual tone, and then said to him with a smile:
"I'm glad to meet you, too."
"Yes, yes."
Jeon Deng immediately showed a look that Xiuguang didn't know how to describe it, and then lowered his head at him in a bit of a panic.
"InγUnder it, it's Akashi sweeping the head of the department."
Then he immediately looked up again and asked:
"Dare to ask...... Is it really, really Toyotomi Hidemitsu-sama? β
Quan Deng paused a few times in his words, looking a little excited and a little frightened.
"Of course."
Xiuguang looked up at Quan Deng, who was looking up at him, and nodded slightly, feeling that it was time for him to report his identity.
"My name is Toyotomi Koichiro Hidemitsu, the fourth son of his late father, His Royal Highness Taiko Hideyoshi. Do you remember me? β
"I met you a few times when you were a child!"
Jeon Deng seemed to be convinced of Xiuguang's identity and lowered his head again.
By the way, Koichiro is the common name of Hidemitsu. It is said that the late Taiko Hideyoshi was given the same generic name as Hidenaga in memory of his younger sister, Hidenaga, who was a talented domestic official.
Although this is formally the inheritance of Hidemitsu to the Yamato Toyotomi family, which has become extinct, it is just a formality, and Hidemitsu is still the son of the Toyotomi family.
"I beg your pardon for being rude...... The plan to rescue my uncle was really your plan? β
Jing Xing on the side took the place of his father and asked this question.
"That's the incident. In fact, it can be said that I planned it, or it can be said that many people planned it together. Without their strength, I would not have been able to carry out my plan to rescue the Hideya-sama. β
Regarding Jing Xing's question, Xiuguang just smiled and came to an ambiguous conclusion.
However, in essence, it is true.
Without the introduction of the old man, there would be no cooperation with the wind demon. Without the cooperation of the Wind Demon, the Xiujia could not be rescued. If you can't rescue the Xiu family, you won't be able to get the power of Ishimaru for the time being. Without the help of Ishimaru in Edo, it was difficult to carry out the Edo riot plan. If the Edo riot plan could not be implemented, it would not be possible to divert Tokugawa's attention. Unable to divert Tokugawa's attention, it was difficult to contact Akashi Sentobu at this time.
These things are all progressing like cause and effect, and all aspects are interlinked. Without their power, Hidemitsu would never have been able to do this with the wisdom of one person.
This kind of answer made Quan Deng's evaluation of this young young master rise to a new level slightly.
Not arrogant or impatient, calm-hearted, calm temperament. What an excellent teenager. Jeon Deng commented.
"Now, thank you very much for your rescue of my uncle!"
Jing Xing is also a straightforward young man. With a grateful expression, he bowed his head towards Xiuguang.
"No need to be polite. The Hideya family was originally the adopted son of his father, and he was a loyal retainer of the Toyotomi family. In order to protect the Toyotomi family, Lord Xiujia participated in the Western Army, and was subsequently defeated and arrested. I, Hidemitsu, will never forget the kindness of the Uki family to the Toyotomi family at that time. It is our duty to rescue the Lord Xiu. β
Quan Deng and Jing Xing are not people who like to be polite. When they heard Xiuguang's words, they just bowed their heads to Xiuguang and expressed their sincere gratitude for his move.
"By the way, Lord Xiu, young masters...... You okay? β
Jeon Deng only thought of this important question now, and hurriedly asked the Xiu family.
"Xiu Gao and Xiao Ping are fine. Hidemitsu-sama rescued all three of us, father and son. β
"That's great! The family name of the Bizen Uki family can finally be preserved! β
Jeon Deng was very happy about this.
"Lord Xiugao should also grow up at this time! She's an amazing princess! Xiaoping is too big, I don't know how it is lately? β
"Quandeng, Xiaoping is only eight years old now, what can he do."
Xiujia smiled and said:
"In a few years, Xiaoping will almost be in the middle of the yuan. When the time comes, I would like to ask Hidemitsu-sama to preside over the Yuan Dress Ceremony for Koheita. β
Seeing Xiujia's pleading eyes, Xiuguang nodded. Although Xiaoping is only eight years old, he can also be served.
Xiuguang himself was already in the Yuan service when he was six years old, while Xiu Lai was already in the Yuan service at the age of four. In a few years, at that time, he also thought about holding a yuan ceremony for Koheita and Yashiro, anyway, the age gap between the two is not big. As for Sangoro, who is still young, he may have to wait a few more years.
"Speaking of which, Hidemitsu-sama."
"What?"
Jeon Deng asked suddenly.
"Lord Xiuguang, the reason why you came to Kyushu at all times should not only be to help Lord Xiu contact our father and son, right?"
"Haha."
Xiuguang smiled. Jeon Deng looked at him with an expression of expectation and temptation after seeing his smile.
"Lord Swept, the reason I'm here is, of course, not just for this little thing."
He still responded to Jeon Deng with the same calm smile as ever.
"Kyushu is a good place for us."
