Jeon Deng looked at the young man suspiciously, feeling a little strange. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Who is he? Why is he here? What does he have to do with the Xiu family?

Since he came here with the Lord Xiu, it definitely has something to do with the Lord Xiu family coming here.

He thought about it for a while, but still couldn't come up with an answer.

Ah, no, now I should ask about the Xiu family!

Jeon Deng grabbed his hair, trying to pull his thoughts back on track.

"Lady Xiujia,"

Quan Deng patted his face, sorted out the clothes on his body, and sat down in front of the Xiu family.

"Uki's retainer Akashi swept all the heads, and now re-declares his allegiance to the Hide-sama! I didn't expect to be able to meet the Xiu family, I really don't know how to express the joy in my heart! ”

"I'm glad to see you again, Jeonden."

The corners of Xiujia's mouth trembled slightly, and he stretched out his hands and held Quan Deng's hand tightly.

While being held by the Xiu family, Quan Deng also felt the large and small scars on the Xiu family's hands due to several years of imprisonment and trying to escape, and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicably sad.

"Lord Xiujia, you have suffered in the past few years...... You've never been in such a state of incarceration before, and you've been in a terrible state for the past few years......"

Quan Deng looked at Xiujia's scarred hands, and felt that his eye sockets suddenly became hot again.

"Don't cry, Jeonden. You and I are both samurai. ”

Xiujia patted Jeon Deng's shoulder and smiled calmly. When Xiujia raised his head, he noticed the young man who had been kneeling behind Jeon Deng since the beginning.

“…… Could it be that you're a Kubei? ”

"Uncle! I'm Kubei! ”

Hearing the call of the Xiu family, Jing Xing, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately raised his head and leaned towards the Xiu family.

Jing Xing's mother is the sister of the Xiu family, so the Xiu family is his uncle.

"Kubei! You've grown up! ”

The Xiu family looked at this nephew who had grown up as his little surname since he was a child, and was a little relieved.

At the time of the Battle of Sekigahara, Jing Xing was only fifteen years old, and he was still an impatient hairy boy. Now in the eyes of the Xiu family, he has become a samurai who is powerful enough to take on the majesty of the family.

"Kubei has been missing you since you were imprisoned, uncle!"

The Xiu family is thirteen years older than Jing Xing, but in fact, the age difference is not too big. In fact, Xiujia is still young.

After being moved, the Xiu family and Quan Deng's father and son calmed down.

"Lord Xiujia, I forgot to ask you, you were supposed to ...... Wasn't he killed at Kunoji Temple? ”

Jeon Deng only now remembered to ask Xiujia the most important question. He cautiously asked Xiujia.

"Actually, it's all an illusion......

Xiujia lowered his voice, and Quan Deng and Jing Xing hurriedly went to listen.

"After creating this illusion, I escaped."

"Illusion?"

Jeon Deng was a little surprised. Because, when the Xiu family was imprisoned, it was very difficult to do anything by himself. It's hard to even get out of surveillance for a while, let alone create a false illusion in the shadows.

Moreover, although it was almost destroyed by this time, at that time, the Tokugawa family's Iga Kinkai was famous. If you want to escape from their eyes and palms, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to completely hide from them and create the illusion of death.

Then that is to say, there must be some force behind the Lord Xiu family who secretly helped him create such an illusion and let him escape from Jiuneji Temple. Quan Deng guessed so, and asked directly to the Xiu family:

"Lord Xiujia, you were able to successfully escape, is there someone behind your back?"

"It's worthy of Quandeng."

Xiujia's voice was lowered a little more,

"Actually, it was the Toyotomi family who helped me escape."

“…… What the?! ”

After hearing about the Toyotomi family, Jeonden felt a little incredulous.

"Didn't the Toyotomi family never help us generals of the Western Army who were captured or exiled after the Battle of Sekigahara?"

Speaking of this, even the usually gentle Jeon Deng was a little angry.

"Why did they suddenly come to help the Xiu family?"

This is what Jeon Deng does not understand.

"Quandeng, let me introduce you."

Instead of answering Jeonden's question head-on, Xiujia turned backwards.

Quan Deng saw that the young man sitting behind Xiujia seemed to smile at the corner of his mouth.

Could it be that the Lord wants to introduce me to ...... Is that this teenager?

Quan Deng carefully looked at the young man behind Xiujia for a moment again.

From the moment he first came in, Quan Deng felt that some of the aura emanating from this young man was inexplicably like an adult he had seen before.

It looks like it's a samurai child. At this age, when facing them, he has no reaction and seems very calm. This made Quan Deng very curious, whose child could do this.

"Hidemitsu-sama, this is my retainer Akashi sweeper. Jeon Deng, this lord, is Toyotomi Hidemitsu-sama. ”

Xiujia nodded at the young man, and then introduced it in a respectful tone.

Toyotomi?

What the?

Jeon Deng froze a little, his eyes widened, staring straight at the young man introduced by the Xiu family. Jing Xing is not as old and stable as his father, and he almost screamed when he opened his mouth wide.

Impossible!

Both Quan Deng and Jing Xing think so.

In their opinion, how could such noble figures of the Toyotomi family casually appear in such a small city in Kyushu.

Speaking of which, Xiuguang ...... It seems to be the late His Royal Highness Taiko's Fourth Male Yoshimatsumaru!

Jeon finally knew why he had a sense of déjà vu before.

The young man in front of him exuded an aura somewhat similar to that of His Royal Highness Taige.

In the era of Taiko Hideyoshi, Jeonden was a close minister of the Hideki family, so he was able to see His Royal Highness Taiko often.

"Lord Xiujia...... Is this true? That kid、No,That adult,Is it really Toyotomi-sama? ”

Quan Deng brought up the impression of Taige's two children in his mind. The age of the young man in front of him is in line with that of His Royal Highness Yoshimatsumaru, but Jeonden's impression of that child has been completely left in the infant era, so he always feels that it does not match the calm and calm young man in front of him.

"Of course. It was Hidemitsu-sama who personally planned the rescue plan to rescue me from Kunoji Temple. ”

Xiujia said while looking at the boy with respectful eyes.

"Plan it yourself?!"

This time it was Jing Xing who shouted. The young Jing Xing seemed to be very shocked by the temperament of the young man in front of him, who was much younger than himself.

Quan Deng narrowed his eyes and looked at the smiling young man in front of him.

"Are you, Lord Akashi?"

The boy spoke suddenly.

His voice was very much in keeping with his age, very immature, unaltered, slightly hoarse. Despite this, his tone was very calm and calm, and there was a very natural aura of a superior, which made Quan Deng feel as if the person sitting in front of him was not a teenager, but an adult with a very noble temperament and status.

"I'm just like the Xiu family, I'm glad to meet you."

The boy smiled too, as calmly as the adults.

At that moment, Jeon Deng didn't know how to describe this feeling.

However, he had such an indescribable premonition.

"This young man may become a pillar supporting the Toyotomi family in the future."
