"Ah, after talking for so long, I forgot to go to visit my brother. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"yes, it seems like we've been talking for about a quarter of an hour."

Naoyuki chatted with Xiujia Quandeng, and the time passed like this, a quarter of an hour. Naoyuki only realized at this time that it had been too long, so he hurriedly terminated the topic.

So, after chatting in a low voice about these trivial matters, Naoyi and the pedestrian felt that it was not too late, and hurriedly quickened their pace and walked towards the residence of Rushui in Ninomaru.

At this time, they noticed that a man was coming across the long wooden hallway.

Because the position that happened to be on the side of Yingguang, Xiuguang couldn't see the appearance of the comer.

It's just that the man must be a man with a strong body. Some dazzling sunlight shone against it, outlining such a dark silhouette that was sometimes blurry and sometimes clear in Xiuguang's eyes.

Naoyuki narrowed his eyes and reached out to block the glare of the sunlight, blocking the owner who was trying to distinguish the silhouette.

"Yo!! Naoyuki! Long time no see! ”

Before Naoyuki could see who was coming at him, the man rushed in the direction of Naoyuki and them, stomping on the wooden floor.

He grabbed Naoyuki's shoulder and slapped him on the right shoulder, laughing out loud with apparent pleasure.

Naoyuki was a little confused by the sudden slap. However, after he settled down and saw the face of the visitor clearly, he also stretched out his right hand and patted the other party's left shoulder and laughed.

"But Ma Shou, it turned out to be you."

"Hahaha, who else but me is so enthusiastic."

Xiuguang stood behind Xiujia, poked out half of his head slightly, and looked at this sturdy man who suddenly appeared.

The man has a strong body, and at first glance he is a martial man. He was about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows and more than one scar on his face, and he looked like a man who had been through a lot of war.

When this man just rushed over, he brought a gust of wind full of alcohol, which made Xiuguang a little uncomfortable.

"Ah, yes."

Naozhi turned around, pulled the man who had just run over suddenly, and introduced to Jeonden:

"Jeondeng, you probably haven't seen him yet. This is Muri Taibei-sama, a spear master in our Kuroda family. ”

Although Jeon has been sheltered by the Kuroda family for several years, he has actually met with the Kuroda family's retainers very rarely. So although he had heard of the name of the mother Taibei, he didn't know this person.

"Oh! It turns out that you are the famous mother-sama! The contemptible is the Akashi sweeper under the command of Naoyuki, and it's a blessing to meet you today. ”

Jeon didn't really know him, so he happily greeted him.

"Ahh You're the sweeper! I've heard about you from Rusui-sama and Naoyuki! ”

The man, named Muri Taibei and whose official position was Tajima Mamoru, looked at Jeonden in front of him and grinned.

Xiuguang also observed the sturdy man in front of him for a while while while they were chatting.

Since Naoyuki calls him "Muri Taibei", then he should be the famous Muri Taibei friend letter. Hidemitsu recalled the knowledge in his mind and came to such a conclusion.

"It is said that this mother-in-law Yushin has a bold temperament and likes to drink, and it seems to be true."

Xiuguang couldn't help but laugh as he watched Jeon Deng and Naoyuki being slapped on the shoulder several times by this grinning man.

This Toshin-sama seems to really like to drink. The gust of wind he brought with him just now, and the smell of wine was still very strong.

"Ahh

Naoyuki also obviously noticed the smell of alcohol on Yuxin's body,

"Although I know that you drink a lot, drinking too much is not good for your health!"

Youxin heard Naoyuki's dissuasion, hugged the back of his head and laughed twice:

"It's okay, it's okay! Don't you know how much alcohol I've drunk! I'm a man who can win a famous gun by drinking, haha! ”

Not to mention that he is such a good drinker and a little arrogant, but this man is really amazing.

He served as an envoy sent by the Kuroda family to the Fukushima family. Fukushima Masanori, like Yushin, is also a good drinker. So, Masanori wants to try to compare the amount of alcohol with Yushin, and takes out the famous gun given to him by Taiko Hideyoshi as a bet. In the end, Youxin drank all the big bowl of wine and won the famous gun.

"Ah, speaking of which, but Ma Shou, you also came to visit your brother."

Naoyuki only then remembered what was going on, so he asked Tomoshin.

"Yes, I've already visited Lord Rushui just now."

Youxin nodded, but there was some concern in his tone:

"Although Lord Rushui has woken up, when I went to see him just now, my body was still very weak. I had been lying in the futon, and when I called his name at the head of the adult's bed, the adult only replied to me a few very weak words. I'm really worried. ”

"Alas. Sure enough, my brother's health is still not very good. ”

"Well, don't worry too much about Naoyuki. At least now Lord Rushui can hear what we say, and he just responded to me! ”

Referring to Rushui's words that had just responded to him, Youxin was as excited as a child. Although he is a little improper, he obviously attaches great importance to the old lord Rushui.

"yes, I see."

Naoyuki nodded,

"We're also getting ready to visit my brother, so let's say goodbye."

"Oh oh, good! How much companionship is like water! ”

Since I am going to visit Rushui, I don't plan to delay it for too long. So Naoyuki said goodbye to Tomoshin, and Tomoshin also patted Naoyuki's shoulder again boldly, grinned, and said go quickly.

The two nodded to each other, saying goodbye.

……

……

Ever since Ninomaru was built just a few years ago, it has been unlike any other place in Fukuoka Castle.

It's very peaceful, there is hardly a noise.

Entering it, it seems that only a hint of birdsong can be heard outside.

This place, inexplicably, carries a poignant sense of coldness, and a quiet Zen after escaping into the empty door.

Maybe it's because the old lord Rushui is recuperating here due to illness and can't make noise, so it's so quiet here.

Fearing that he would disturb Rusui, who was recuperating from his illness, Naochi's pedestrians deliberately lightened their steps after stepping into Ninomaru, and carefully stood on tiptoe and walked slowly on the cold floor.

They soon came to the room where Rushui was now lying.

There didn't seem to be a light inside, and the sliding door on the outside didn't open, so it was pitch black.

With a hint of nervousness, Hidemitsu followed Naoyuki and Hideya, slowly walking towards the interior of the slightly mysterious room.
