"Murayama-sama wants to see me?"

On the evening of February 20, Jeonto, who had returned to Hakata from Hirado, immediately reported the incident to Hidemitsu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Yes. Antonio said, "I want Toyotomi-sama to come to Hirado and discuss the matter of secretly assisting." …… Actually, I just want to see you. ”

"Yes. Well, it's okay, I was going to take it myself. ”

In this regard, Xiuguang said that he didn't mind much.

"Let's go tomorrow. By the way, Lord Saubu, what kind of person do you think Murayama-sama is? ”

Just in case, Xiuguang asked Quan Deng, who was waiting for An's old friend, about his general personality and character.

"Antonio...... He's a very smart guy. Although he is a Catholic, he is very fond of women, which has caused a lot of trouble...... Well, but others are not bad, just be an honest person. In my opinion, he is not the kind of villain who will betray others at will. ”

Jeon Deng also noticed Xiuguang's worries about waiting for An, so although he was not very good at evaluating people, he also told Xiuguang about the image of waiting for an in his impression as much as possible.

Xiujia also recalled the appearance of waiting for An in his memory, and then said:

"I met Murayama-sama once in the first year of Bunroku. It was the time of the late His Highness Taiko's meeting with him. Afterwards, I heard that His Royal Highness Taiko had a good opinion of him, and I personally thought he was a good person. ”

With the words of Quan Deng and Xiujia, Xiuguang was probably a little more relaxed.

In fact, Xiuguang's choice of Murayama and other people is also a big gamble.

Because, he only makes judgments based on his general impression of this person in history.

The reason why Xiuguang chose to wait for An, in fact, there are only about three reasons.

The first reason is that the person who waited for an was the same as the late Taiko Hideyoshi, who was born in Owari.

The second reason is that he was once a subordinate of the late Taiko Hideyoshi, and he was the acting governor of Nagasaki appointed by Hideyoshi himself.

The third reason is that Waitan is a Catholic, and it may be easier to win over him when he is about to ban Christianity recently.

Therefore, in this situation of not being completely sure, sending Quan Deng to contact and wait for an is tantamount to a big gamble.

However, according to what Quan Deng just said, Wait An should also have some thoughts about this, but he still wants to confirm something on himself, so he wants to see himself.

Since Jeon Deng said that Wait An can be trusted, then believe him. And now there is no one else to choose from.

And if you can get the help of waiting for security, it will be a real benefit. There are probably two reasons for this.

First, from then on, the basic movements of the major mycories in Kyushu and the military and political information on trade could be easily obtained.

Second, if you have access to overseas trade, you will be able to prepare many useful things. For example, artillery and other firearms.

The Toyotomi family was not short of gold and silver. What's missing is the channel. Xiuguang thought so.

As mentioned earlier, there will be many gains from this trip. Compared to the fact that he was assisted by other people, the fact that he had built a trade channel with the Kamiya family was just an insignificant small fish.

The real big fish, now is the time to start making the debut.

……

……

So, in the early morning of February 21, Hidemitsu and his party left Hakata Port and went to Hirado on the ship of Chyokai and Izo.

In the evening, they officially arrived at the port of Hirado.

At this time, Wait An also secretly made formal preparations for this meeting.

"Oh, this is the Lord of the Toyotomi family...... Gotta be formal......"

While silently muttering such a sentence in his heart, he waited for Ann to decorate it in the place of another mansion that belonged to him, and looked very formal.

The mansion is usually uninhabited and is hardly in use. So it's a very safe place.

It is said that Waitan once had a concubine in this mansion...... However, the details are not clear.

In the evening, Hidemitsu and his party officially arrived in Hirado. Jeon Den led them to the place where he had made an appointment with Waitan, and then secretly entered the mansion through the back door.

When Xiuguang and the others entered the room where they had met secretly, they found that they had been waiting here for a long time.

Xiuguang couldn't help but smile after seeing Ann's outfit clearly.

"Murayama-sama, your attire is too formal."

The clothes that Wait An was wearing now were indeed very formal, and his expression was nervous.

Hey, shouldn't it be us who are nervous, why are you nervous.

Xiuguang complained in his heart.

"Yes, yes, contemptible, because I want to meet with Hidemitsu-sama, so I ......"

Kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, he was a little flustered by the sudden words.

"Well, relax, Murayama-sama, it's not a particularly formal meeting."

Xiuguang said this, and then walked straight to the opposite side of Waiting for an and sat down.

"Antonio, you don't need to be so nervous."

Jeon Deng said the same, and then sat down behind Xiujia.

Since Xiuguang and Jeon Deng both said so, they waited for An to raise his head.

"You are ...... Hidemitsu-sama? ”

The first thing Wait An saw was Xiuguang sitting directly across from him.

In Waiting for An's eyes, Xiuguang's appearance was probably in his teens, about a year or two older than the age of Xiuguang he knew. Maybe it's because of your height.

Xiuguang's expression was the same as before, very calm and unwavering.

"I am Xiuguang, Xiaoichiro Xiuguang, the fourth male of the late His Royal Highness Taiko."

He responded clearly to the question of waiting for peace.

"You're Murayama-sama himself?"

"Yes. The contemptible person is Nagasaki's Daikan Murayama and other people, and the baptism name is Antonio. ”

Wow, that's a good one.

This is Waitan's first impression of Hidemitsu.

There shouldn't be a few kids his age who can beat him. After An thought about one of his sons who was about the same age as Xiuguang, he compared it, and then felt a little overshadowed.

Articulate and powerful. More importantly, this adult is calm and calm. Judging from the conversation just now, it is really a calm and peaceful expression.

"I've never met Hidemitsu-sama, but I've heard of you from Huo An. The first time was years ago, when you were a baby. The day before yesterday, Huo An met the contemptible man again, and heard about you from his mouth, saying that you have grown up and are a very good adult. When we met for the first time today, sure enough, Huo An was right. ”

Jeon Deng had met once after Hidemitsu was born, and then he had mentioned the baby "Yoshimatsumaru" to his old friend and other Ann.

"Thank you, Lord Murayama, for your compliment."

Xiuguang nodded, his expression still calm. Then he said:

"Well, then, let's get down to business with us."
