Hidemitsu and Hidemune soon returned to Osaka Castle after meeting up with Irizawa Shinnai. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The ones who came to greet them were Tsuru no Suke, who was a warrior of light and shadow, and Shocho, who had been tossed to half death by Tsuru no suke in the past few days, and was so tired that he couldn't do it.

Tsuru no Suke, this kid was quite serious about his work when he was a shadow warrior, and nothing went wrong during Hidemitsu's absence. However, Shang Chang was frightened every day because of this incident, suffered a lot, and lost weight.

Of course, they had just returned to Osaka Castle and immediately went to the old man's small courtyard.

"Your Highness Hidemitsu, you're going to turn the old man's house into your Toyotomi family's private school......"

The old man, who was being circled around by Yashiro and Sangoro, complained helplessly to Hidemitsu.

Xiuzong saw the old man's embarrassed appearance now, and hid to the side and snickered.

That's right, as soon as he returned to Osaka Castle, Hidemitsu sent the two children, Yashiro and Sangoro, to the old man's mansion, hoping that the old man would take care of them.

Of course, Hidemitsu is not troublesome with children, but because he can't take two children who are not the sons of the Toyotomi family samurai with him all day long, and if he is seen, many people will be suspicious, and it will be troublesome if something happens at that time.

So Xiuguang still chose the safest way, that is, to send it to the old man. Next to the old man lived a group of Wind Demon Ninjas, and there were people monitoring the movements around every day, so it was safest to be on the old man's side.

Regarding the old man's complaints, Xiuguang did feel a little embarrassed. After all, the old man likes to be alone by nature, but Xiujia, Xiugao, and Kohei Tai moved in one by one, and Xiuzong, Tsurunosuke, and Tsukichiyo came over every day to learn kendo, and now there are two more little children who are so big, and normal people will find it very troublesome.

But happily, after the old man lectured them, he agreed to Yashiro's and Sangoro's stay.

When Hidemitsu summoned everyone and introduced them to Yamijiro and Sangoro, they were all very surprised. After all, Yamijiro and Sangoro are actually from the Oda family, and they are also the Danmasa Tadashi family of the Oda family. This also means that they are the great-grandsons of the great demon king Oda Nobunaga that no one dares to forget, and the legitimate heirs of the Oda family.

Now, they are resting in the old man's mansion.

Yashiro and Kohei are too close in age, so they quickly get acquainted. So there was a very strange phenomenon: Koheita was silently reading in the study, and Yasō was wielding a toy wooden knife in the study. There is no influence between the two of them, which is a wonderful friendship.

As soon as Xiuzong came back, he ran to Xiugao, and the two were under a tree in the courtyard, not knowing what they were talking about. But judging from Xiuzong's dancing movements, it is estimated that eighty percent is showing off his deeds on this trip.

Irizawa Shinnai continues to teach Tsurunosuke and Tsukichiyo various ninjutsu in the backyard. Although the brother and sister were tortured by various courses, they made rapid progress.

Xiuguang sat by the cloister with the old man who had just been liberated from the children's pile, talking about things.

"Your Highness Hidemitsu, you should have heard about it, the Tokugawa family's Hidetada is ready to go to Luo."

"Well, I know. Probably Ieyasu passed on the position of the Great General of Seiyi to Hidetada. ”

"Your Highness Xiuguang, you're not worried......"

"It's something that can't be helped, and it's a matter of time. Even if it is not now, Ieyasu will pass on the throne to Hidetada in the future. ”

"yes."

As soon as Xiuguang returned, he heard the news.

For this Xiuzhong's Shangluo, Osaka Castle has a very vigilant attitude. Xiuzhong's intentions have not yet been known, but Xiuguang already knows.

This is a fact that there is no way to change, so simply leave him alone.

The old man looked at Xiuguang, who was full of indifference, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't ask any further.

In fact, although Xiuguang said that he didn't care, he was also thinking about how to take the next step in the face of the current situation.

……

……

Fushimi Castle, Ieyasu's office.

"Shogun, Hondasa Watari is here."

Ieyasu's attendants reported to him that Honda Masanobu had come to visit.

"Let him in."

Because Xiuzhong was about to go to Luo, Ieyasu was in a good mood at this time. He let Zhengxin in without even thinking about it.

Masanobu then walked in and saluted Ieyasu.

"What's the matter, Masanobu, why did you suddenly come here today?"

Masanobu approached Ieyasu and took out a letter from his bosom,

"Shogun, Sanada Izu Mamoru has a letter."

"Huh? Mamoru Izu? ”

Ieyasu furrowed his eyebrows, and then instantly returned to his original peaceful expression.

"I'll see."

Ieyasu opened the letter, read it for a few minutes, then folded the letter back and handed it back to Masanoshi.

"General, who are you?"

"Zhengxin, give this letter to Xiuzhong as it is, and let him make a decision."

"Ah, Shogun, but ......"

"Since Xiuzhong is going to succeed him as a general, then this matter will be handled by him with full authority."

Looking at Ieyasu's nonchalant and slightly mocking tone, Masanobu understood what Ieyasu meant, and knew that Ieyasu was not ready to deal with this matter.

"I see. The minister will command it now. ”

Masanobu was about to retreat, but was stopped by Ieyasu again.

"Speaking of which, Masanobu, how are things going on over there of the Iga Concentric Society?"

"Someone has been sent to deal with it. I also listened to the lecture and promised that I would handle the relationship between myself and my subordinates well. The people of the Harmony Society also sent people to appease them. ”

"yes, that's good. That kid is really uncomfortable. As the eldest man of Zhengcheng, he has such a violent temperament, which is very troublesome. By the way, I remember that Zhengcheng also has a son, right? That one...... What's that called? ”

"Lord General, it's the second son of Lord Zhengcheng, and it's heavy."

"Ah, yes, yes, that's right. How about the young man? ”

"I heard that Shoshige is young, very stable and generous, and gets along well with his colleagues in the Iga Harmony Association. It's a manufacturable talent. ”

"Huh...... Yes, this young man. Ah, I remember that when Sekigahara was in the past, he used to be by my side and toast me at the bar. ”

Ieyasu flipped through the official document and thought back to this young man named Masashige.

Masanobu continued to report what he knew:

"I heard that I don't like this brother very much. It seems that some people in the Tongxin Association don't like righteousness.,So it's on the side of the second man.。 Zhengzhong showed no signs of wanting to fight with his brother. ”

"Really...... Hawkers, after all, having a younger brother who is more talented than himself, it's normal to have some scruples. ”

Ieyasu nodded, signaling that Masanobu could step down.

Masanobu withdrew, and immediately according to Ieyasu's instructions, he sent the letter to Tokugawa Hidetada, the third son of Ieyasu who was far away in Edo.
