Facing Xiuzong's stunned face, Xiuguang behaved calmly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xiuzong's reaction was also his expectation.

"What's the matter, Xiuzong, aren't you boasting that you are not afraid of the sky and the earth, now you just go to watch a sumo wrestling match and visit a few elders by the way. What, scared? ”

"Your Highness, you can't use this word here......

Frightened for a moment, Xiuzong couldn't accept Xiuguang's perfunctory statement, and uneasily clasped the stone wall of the tunnel with his hand.

"That's Tokugawa Ieyasu...... That legendary old fox ......"

"Xiuzong, no matter how old a fox is, he is still a fox, and he is not a ghost or god like the Yaqi Snake. Besides, it's not a war, what are you worried about? ”

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter what happens to me, the key is that I'm worried about whether the old fox will do anything in private when he meets with Your Highness. Fushimi Castle is the territory of the old fox, in case something happens to His Highness......"

Not only was he a little scared, but Xiuzong, who was also worried about Xiuguang's safety, blushed his cheeks anxiously.

"In case he poisons somewhere, or arranges a few people to ambush outside the city, then His Highness's life will be in danger!"

"Don't worry about Xiuzong, Ieyasu won't do this."

"Not going to do that...... How did Your Highness know......"

"I guess."

“……”

"Haha, just kidding. At least for now, Ieyasu won't tear his face in the Toyotomi family for the time being. Ieyasu is not a fool, he will not get more benefits from doing things to a child who has not yet grown up, and he is likely to be caught, and the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Hey, Your Highness, there are ninjas in the Tokugawa family......"

"Although there is. But in the end, some clues will always be found. And don't underestimate the financial resources of the Toyotomi family. So the Tokugawa family shouldn't attack us yet. If you're worried about anything, you can't do some things at all, calm down, Xiuzong. ”

After hearing this explanation, Xiuzong's face was slightly better. After some thought, Xiuzong finally raised his hands to Xiuguang and obediently surrendered and agreed to follow.

"Your Highness, sometimes you are really scary......"

"What's scary, I don't look scary."

After a few nonsense words, Xiuzong pursed his lips and suddenly asked seriously,

"Your Highness, to be honest, how old are you?"

"I'm eight years old, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness, you don't look like an eight-year-old ghost at all!! Alas...... If I hadn't watched Your Highness be born back then, I would really wonder if Your Highness was actually an old man who reincarnated and remembered his previous memories! ”

"Haha, what are you kidding. How could such a thing happen. ”

Xiuzong jokingly gave up the question about Xiuguang's age, and Xiuguang laughed and fooled him.

In fact, counting from the era in the future, Xiuguang's real age is indeed twenty years old.

But if Xiuzong knew that he was actually twenty years old, he would probably be shocked, Xiuguang thought to himself.

Think of an eight-year-old child, but the mind and soul of a twenty-year-old exists in his body. Haha, it's scary.

"Alright, let's go back quickly, and it will be fun if the people find out that we are gone."

"Yes, I see, Your Highness."

……

At night, in the wilderness outside Osaka Castle.

The moonlight isn't bright tonight. The moon, shrouded in layers of mist, struggled to shine its light. It was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see if there was a human figure. It is the so-called night when the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The old man was standing in the middle of this wasteland at this time. He closed his eyes tightly, as if listening for something.

Sand... Sand......

Sand... Sand......

I don't know if it was the sound of the wind stirring the mud and sand or the friction of other objects, it began to come from a distance, slowly approaching the old man's location.

Almost nothing could be seen in the dark night, accompanied by the sound of friction between near and far, adding an eerie sense to the atmosphere at this time.

"Stop playing, come out quickly."

The old man's sudden words broke the strange atmosphere. A voice of impatience echoed around the empty wilderness.

"The old man knows you've been here for a long time."

The rustling sound that had been ringing all the time stopped. Instead of a hoarse low male voice,

"Hmph, you old man still dare to come out to see me."

"The employment relationship is still there, why doesn't the old man dare to come out to see you?"

"How dare you say it! When I first signed the contract, I said that you were not allowed to serve Toyotomi or Tokugawa during the employment period! Do you know how much danger you will put us adults in doing this?! ”

The low, hoarse voice became agitated.

"If it weren't for us, you would have ...... long ago"

The old man interrupted him without emotion,

"The old man didn't serve the Toyotomi family, the old man was just a master of two little ghosts. Figure this concept for me. ”

"But the so-called two little ghosts are from the Toyotomi family! Chances are we'll ...... because of this."

"The old man is not like some people. If something really happens to those two in your family, the old man will personally help you kill all the people who should be killed. ”

The words fell, and the hoarse voice hidden in the darkness fell silent.

“…… I know. I'll trust you for once. ”

When the words fell, the owner of the hoarse voice did not drag the mud and water, and immediately disappeared into the vast night with a gust of wind.

The old man stood in place for a long time before he squeezed out a sentence hatefully,

"Hmph, mention me again... It hurts, it hurts...... The scar is starting to hurt again......"

……

……

Echizen, Kitanosho Castle.

"It's time to go. Genshiro, Sun Taro. ”

The woman walked out of the room inside the Honmaru and called out to several retainers.

Genshiro came in response. Looking back, on the table where political affairs were handled, the secret letter that had been sent a few days ago was still lying quietly beside the desk, and it had not been destroyed by the woman.

My lord, you are still ......

Looking at the slightly languishing back of the woman in front of him, Genshiro could only silently follow.
