"This is where we met?"

Hideyori came to a place he had never been before, and couldn't help but look left and right to see what it was like. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Elder brother, this is the residence of the old man who was a sword master three years ago. Because of my brother's arrival today, the door inside is now wide open, just walk in. ”

"Is it safe here? It won't be seen by unrelated people, right? ”

"No, brother. Wind Demon Ninjas are on guard. ”

Hidemitsu gave a brief introduction to the owner of the mansion and the security situation, and then immediately stepped into the house with his brother.

Because of tonight's meeting, there are many Wind Demon Ninjas lurking around the mansion who are in charge of guarding. Of course, Tsuranosuke and Tsukichiyo are going to participate in tonight's meeting, so they are not among them.

Shigesei followed Hideyori's side with a blank face, and his left hand subconsciously held the knife at his waist, just in case he was in danger when the lord Hideyori was in danger, he could quickly draw the knife and slash.

Of course, his worries were unnecessary. Although there is a certain swordsman and a large long knife in the house, it is not a threat to Xiulai and the others.

"Elder brother will wait here for a while. I'll let them know first. ”

Hidemitsu took Hideyori into the house, sat him down first, and then got up and left on his own and walked towards the back room.

Hideyori looked at the furnishings and the overall size of the house, which were more shabby than in Osaka Castle, and felt very curious, and wanted to get up and take a look around. But the etiquette he had been taught since childhood made him resist the urge and had to sit still.

However, if you look closely, it seems that Xiuyori's eyes seem to be a little erratic.

"It's the tea bowl."

The sharp-eyed Xiu Lai caught a glimpse of the tea bowl that had been placed in the corner of the room by the old man at random.

This tea bowl was obtained from the town three years ago. At that time, Xiuguang, Xiuzong, Xiulai and Chongcheng were present, and they experienced a ridiculous incident with their own eyes. The tea bowl was an appendage that was inadvertently obtained at that time, and all five people present got one.

Although it was not a valuable thing, Hideyori and Shigetsei kept their share as a memento in a certain corner of the room.

“…… It's the tea bowl of three years ago. ”

Shigenari also saw this tea bowl, and felt as if the atmosphere around him had suddenly become lighter, and moved his right hand, which had been on the hilt, out of this position.

……

……

On the other hand, the three of them walked into a room in the inner room and came to inform the people who had been waiting for a long time.

"How's it going, are the clothes still appropriate?"

Although he had already learned about his satisfaction with the clothes from Xiuzong, Xiuguang couldn't help but ask in person.

"It fits perfectly."

Xiujia was wearing a dark blue stripe and was very satisfied with this dress.

"I used to live a life of luxury, but now I'm satisfied to be able to wear it."

Thinking of his previous extravagant style and habits, the current Xiujia felt a little blushing.

Now the Xiujia who is wearing this simple formal suit is naturally very different from before. Compared with the appearance of the noble son before, the vicissitudes of life set off by this dress now really make Xiuguang feel that this person is a person who has reached the age of establishment.

The other people's costumes also fit very well. Among them, Sangoro is still a toddler, so he is not too formal in terms of dress.

It was the first time in their lives that Tsuranosuke and Tsukichiyo wore such formal clothes. They felt an inexplicable sense of restraint about this.

"Shang Chang, it's really hard for you. It's you, you're doing a very good job. ”

Xiuguang patted Shang Chang's shoulder beside him, expressing his satisfaction.

"No, that's what subordinates should do. Your Highness, you have a good reputation. ”

Shang Chang, as usual, opened his slightly tired eyes, bowed his head and said modestly.

While inspecting everyone's clothes, the old man came to Xiuguang's side silently.

"I didn't expect that Hideyori-sama to actually come."

The old man crooked his mouth and smiled.

"The old man saw him just as he passed through the hall. Compared to three years ago, Hideyori-sama has grown a lot, both physically and temperamentally. ”

"Of course. The elder brother is the pillar of the Toyotomi family. ”

"Nope. The growth that the old man said refers to the fact that Lord Xiulai really came. ”

The old man crossed his arms and thought about it,

The old man had made a guess before this incident. If he doesn't come, then the Toyotomi family will have no cure. If he comes, the Toyotomi family may still survive. Well, now he's here. ”

The old man talked about this very serious matter in his usual tone.

"Well...... But even if Hideyori-sama came, it wouldn't be of any use if he didn't have the courage to make a final decision. So I still have to see His Highness Xiuguang tonight. ”

Speculating on the worst possibility, the old man pursed his lips, spread his hands, and sat down on the floor.

"yes...... But only one try. Whether it rises or falls, it depends on tonight. ”

Xiuguang squinted his eyes, looked at the people in front of him, and nodded silently.

All the people gathered here, the Toyotomi family owed them a lot, or owed them a lot of things.

Everyone has countless expectations and dreams for this.

So, Xiuguang didn't want to disappoint them.

He also believed that his brother would not let these people down.

After changing into formal clothes, Xiuguang looked at everyone and said:

"Everyone, don't be nervous later. The elder brother is a very kind person, and you can tell him anything later. I'll be following along, so let's relax. ”

shook the straight hanging that he was not used to wearing, and straightened the black hat on his head. Although Xiuguang said this, he was actually very nervous in his heart.

Ah, sure enough, it feels more comfortable to wear with large lines and plain shirts.

He sighed silently in his heart, then straightened his posture and stepped into a larger room with everyone in the back.

It's not very formal, but it's the only room that can accommodate so many people at the same time.

Hidemitsu sat down in front of him, waiting for the voice of Hidemune, who was in charge of the briefing.

"Your Highness, everyone, Lord Hideyori has also changed his clothes! Get ready! ”

A short time later, Sujong, who was also dressed in formal clothes, stepped into the room and waited at the door.

And Chongcheng had already changed into formal clothes, and entered the room before Xiulai, waiting for Xiulai's official arrival.

Hearing this, Xiuguang lowered his head and bent down like everyone else, making a respectful gesture to welcome the arrival of the nobles.

“…… Right Minister, Hideyori Gong has arrived! ”

With the calm and solemn voice of Chongcheng and the friction of the sliding door, the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent.
