Chapter 179: The Gathering of the Loyal Ministers
"Your Highness, Your Highness? Why ...... all of a sudden?"
Seeing Xiuguang's sudden voice, Xiuzong felt a little embarrassed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Didn't you mention Katsubei just now?"
Xiuguang still remained in a side-lying position and did not turn his head.
"Actually, the day before yesterday, I had already troubled the ninjas of the Wind Demon to pick him up. If you count the time, you should be able to see him today. β
"Huh?! When did you ever order such a thing, Your Highness? β
Suddenly being told that the kid named Katsubei was coming over caught Hidemune a little off guard.
"No...... It turned out that he was going to let him come to meet his brother after talking to him...... But now...... Alas......"
As he spoke, Xiuguang turned his body lying on his side on the ground ninety degrees and turned it into a completely lying posture on the ground.
When the people heard his words, they immediately knew the meaning of the words. For a moment, the atmosphere in the corridor began to become solemn again.
"Uh...... Your Highness...... Although I know you're not in a good mood right now...... But please also maintain the basic majesty and dignity of the young lord of the Toyotomi family......"
Seeing that His Royal Highness was lying directly on the corridor with his ass facing the sky, even Xiuzong, who was the most unruly on weekdays, couldn't help but stop him.
"Hidemitsu-sama, what should we do now?"
A somewhat worried Xiujia asked Xiuguang.
"If Hideyori-sama refuses to accept our wishes......"
"Don't worry, Lord Xiu."
Although he feels very uncomfortable now, Xiuguang has actually been thinking about a solution.
"I'm still thinking about how to convince my brother. I'll go again once tonight. No matter what, you must find a way to get your brother to accept all this. β
Xiuguang's brows were tightly locked, and his fists were slightly clenched.
Although Xiuguang's statement was still uneasy, everyone present had to accept such a statement for the time being.
Hideya patted Koheita and Yamizoro on the back, signaling them not to worry. Xiuzong held Xiugao's shoulder, who was much shorter than him, and whispered comfort in her ear.
ββ¦β¦ Toyotomi-sama. β
Not long after, a person quietly appeared in front of everyone.
"Hard work, Irisawa. Did they bring that kid? β
ββ¦β¦ Be. Katsubei-sama has arrived. β
The one who came was Irizawa Shinnai, a wind demon ninja.
Of course, the reason for coming now is because the kid named Katsubei has arrived next door to the Wind Demon.
"Hidemitsu-sama, who's here?"
As soon as Yamijiro heard that someone new was coming, he was very excited.
"yes. It is Katsubei of the Oba family. You're probably four years older than Yamijiro. β
"I want to meet Katsubei!"
Although I don't understand what the Oba family is at all, I am happy that someone I don't know has come over, and Yamijiro, who is still a child, is very happy.
"yes, I see. Everyone, since Katsubei has arrived, why don't we go and meet him together? β
Since Yashiro had said so, Hidemitsu calmly climbed up from the hallway, and then walked towards the Wind Demon's house next door.
And the crowd behind him followed suit. In particular, Yashiro, who ran alone at the front of everyone.
"Hey! Yamitsuro! How can it be so big and small?! β
The old man immediately chased after him and hugged Yashiro, who had rushed to the front of Xiuguang.
The house where the Wind Demons lived was a very ordinary house built at Xiuguang's expense. Although ordinary, it is enough for these Wind Demon ninjas who have been displaced all year round.
When Hidemitsu stepped into the house, the ninjas inside all respectfully stepped aside, while Irizawa led the way for Hidemitsu and the others in front.
ββ¦β¦ Katsubei-sama is on this side of the hall. β
Irizawa brought Hidemitsu to the side of the hall. He opened the sliding door for Xiuguang and respectfully invited him inside.
Xiuguang naturally didn't hesitate much, and stepped into the hall very casually.
I saw a boy in the hall who looked very nervous, and now he was sitting on the seat with a very restrained posture.
"Y-You're Toyotomi Hidemitsu-sama, right?"
Before Hidemitsu could sit down, the nervous Katsubei hit his head on the ground and blurted out the words of greeting first.
"InγUnder is Katsubei! Today, I can see Xiu, Lord Xiuguang, you are really here, you are here, ......you are here,
"Calm down, Katsubei. Don't be so restrictive. Keep your head up. β
Seeing that Katsubei was about to bite his tongue, Xiuguang hurriedly spoke up to calm him down for a while.
"Yes, yes!"
When Katsubei heard that he didn't have to be restrained, he cautiously raised his head.
"InγUnder is Katsubei! My father's name is Oba Yoshibei! β
"I know. Your father was a great man. β
Katsubei didn't look like a child from a family of famous samurai. His swarthy cheeks and mud-stained clothes made him look like a child from a peasant family.
However, according to what his father Yoshibei had said before, they survived by hiding in the mountains, so it is not surprising that Katsubei would be like this now.
"Your father, who chose to sacrifice his life for the sake of the safety and health of the Toyotomi family and you, is a very remarkable man. You have to be proud, Katsubei. β
"Yes, yes! When my father was still alive, I always admonished my subordinates to be loyal and righteous to the Lord! β
Obviously, when his father had just died, Katsubei had been crying for many days. But now, two years later, it seems that he has grown a lot.
"Katsubei, I actually called you here today so that my brother would come to meet you."
"Brother...... Mo, isn't it Xiu, Lord Xiulai?! β
When Katsubei heard this, he was very excited.
"Yes, it's my brother, Lord Hideyori, the head of the Toyotomi family. But now ......"
"Now...... What's wrong? β
Facing Katsubei's curious and excited eyes, Hidemitsu felt a little difficult to speak.
"But now...... Wait a minute. β
As if thinking of something, Xiuguang's eyes narrowed.
"That...... Hidemitsu-sama? β
Whether it was Katsubei or everyone on the side, they all felt a little strange about Hidemitsu's reaction.
"Nothing. Katsubei, and everyone present,"
Xiuguang suddenly stood up and announced to everyone present,
"Be prepared tonight. Tomorrow, my brother, Hideyori, will visit in secret. Please keep it a secret and don't divulge it. β
This sentence is undoubtedly a small bomb for the Xiu family and everyone who just heard about Xiu Lai's reaction last night.
Didn't you say that Hideyori-sama's reaction was like that? So why is it suddenly coming again?
Now, except for Katsubei, who is confused, everyone else has this idea more or less.
"Let's get ready for a while. I'll take my leave. β
Ignoring everyone's surprise, Hidemitsu got up and left the hall, leaving the Wind Demon's room.
It took a few seconds for Xiuzong to react. He immediately stumbled out and followed in the footsteps of his own highness.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! What's going on? Didn't Lord Hideyori say that? Why is it still ......?"
Xiuzong gasped heavily, very puzzled by what Xiuguang had just said.
"You calm me down, too, Hyogoro."
Looking at Xiuzong who was panting heavily, Xiuguang's face showed a helpless look.
"I just had an idea. Although the elder brother said that, sooner or later he would have to persuade again. Well, it just so happens that everyone is together. β
Xiuguang thought about it for a moment and felt that it could only be like this.
"Now, it is estimated that the trick of using the emotional card is the fastest and most effective."
