On the 21st day of July in the ninth year of Tensho (1581), my days in Kyushu were numbered, and all preparations for my return were made, and all that remained was one or two "little things".

I really don't dare to say whether Otomo Zonglin is happy about this transfer, but this is not such an unbearable thing after all, the land has increased by nearly 200,000 stones at once, and he can fully explain to the top, the bottom, and the ancestors. Of course, there are still a few old stubborns with rigid thinking who have a firm opposition to leaving their ancestral land, but this does not hinder the "overall situation", and after the baptism of glory and disgrace in the past few decades, the vast majority of Otomo retainers are still able to understand current affairs. Besides, I didn't lose the Otomo family in terms of name.,Bungo guardian is a guardian.,Higo guardian is also a guardian.。

Now that I have Bungo in my own hands, the long coastline from Kyushu to Shikoku, the western part of, and the western section of Tokaido is completely connected, and the "threads" that lead through them are the two armies of the stars and Kumano, and the Seto Inland Sea has become my private pond. Now it is impossible for people in Sanyo to take the initiative, and I am already invincible.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the "monkey" has mastered the general trend of Kyoto and the world, and I have become the biggest local powerhouse, although the comparison between the two does not seem to be too good or bad, but more people still think that I am a little short-sighted and petty.

The reputation of the "people of the world" is indeed glorious, but those who covet it and are difficult to beat will naturally think of seeking support in the local area, and now the "monkey" is still one of the most justifiable and crucial steps away from that position!

I don't mean by this that I have no weaknesses, but that there are many people who are not convinced of me in this large area of newly conquered land. Will they go to the "center" for support? It's hard to say.

However, the most powerful Shimazu and Otomo took a cooperative attitude, so the others were much easier to say, and in the space of three or four days, a series of orders for territorial security and service appointments were issued strongly. There are 47,000 stones in the envelope of Zhongjin City, and he is the guardian of Fengqian; Yamanaka Kanosuke sealed Fukuoka Castle with 25,000 stones, and served as the guardian of the former building; Naoshige Nabeshima sealed the 62,000 stone of Kurume Castle and served as the guardian of the building; Yoshisuke Ito restored his old collar and let Hinata guard him; Hizen's situation was special, and the guardianship was divided between Ryuzoji Temple, Omura, and the Hirado Matsuura clan. Now there is only Bungo left, but I have also sent an urgent secret letter to Keiji Maeda: I want him to prepare for the relocation immediately, transfer the inner city of the mansion to 125,000 stones, and let the Bungo guardian be the generation!

I also knew that the last appointment might cause some fluctuations, but after much thought, I made up my mind. Now is a very sensitive and critical moment, and if you hesitate, you will really miss a big thing!

I accepted Shimazu Yoshihisa's sister Coral as a side room, although people said it politely, but it can't really be just a concubine, but after all, this also has to consider the position of other daimyos, and it's not appropriate to do a big deal. In order to avoid a possible embarrassing situation, the four Shimazu brothers returned to Satsuma, leaving only Shinna Mototada and Kayama Hisadaka as representatives. Otomo, Ito and others showed up and gave a few gifts like ordinary small celebrations.

"It's not early, the ministers send the lord back to the room to rest!" A group of retainers led by Takenaka Hanbei stood up and said, while Otomo Sorini and other guests had already taken their leave.

"You guys should go back and rest early, and you'll be leaving early the day after tomorrow!" I stood up and nodded, and then walked to the back.

The lighting in the hallway was dim, in stark contrast to the illuminated hall in front of me, and when I saw the attendants who had come to stand guard bowed down in turn, I walked straight to the bedroom in the back. As a guest, I stayed in Ninomaru, and the layout of this place was naturally not very grand, and after a short corridor and a turn, I came to a delicate partition door, which is my new room for tonight. "Whew!" The door was pulled open and I walked in.

"Meet Your Highness!" A little maid in the house said in a somewhat nervous tone that she should have been sent by the Shimazu family. Sitting in the seat inside was a woman in a white auspicious robe, her head hung down, and she couldn't see her face clearly.

"Alright, you go out!" I said to the maid.

"This ...... Be! The little maid was stunned for a moment, then bowed her head and ran out in small steps, and closed the door again from the outside.

I was quite satisfied with the quality of the Shimazu family, although the little maid was a little hesitant, but after all, she didn't look at the woman sitting on the side. This shows that he is still quite successful in his usual education and training, and knows how to restrain his instincts in these small places.

I went to the small table, with a few side dishes and a jug of wine, and the couple might want to have a few more drinks. "I really didn't expect to meet again under such circumstances!" She didn't say anything for a long time, so I had to say it myself, but what she said was very strange.

"How do you know it's me?" She wasn't confused by my words, and the rhetorical questions were even more strange.

I stood up and walked over to a wall, where there hung a scarlet scabbard, another knife that the Shimazu family had sent back with Dai. I took the knife off and pulled it out with a sharp slam, leaving only a blade just over three inches long in front of the blade. "If I can't investigate after seeing a knife, it's better to die that year!" I said helplessly, as if there was another stormy night nine years ago.

"You have such a good memory, I thought you didn't remember it a long time ago!" Shimazu Coral finally raised her head, her big bright eyes glistening in the half-dim light. Her fair melon seed face has extremely delicate facial features, and she is a rare beauty in all aspects, but her surprisingly black eyebrows are a little thicker, a little less delicate and charming, and a little more heroic.

"I want to ask you, what if I really forget?" I walked over to her and sat down, placing the broken knife in front of my eyes along with the empty scabbard. "Sending a broken knife, it's really a shame that you can figure it out! Seeing this 'unlucky' gift, even Shigeharu Takenaka, who has always been mild-mannered, became angry and demanded that the Shimazu family be soldiers immediately. If it weren't for my hard work, I don't know what would have happened! ”

"If you really don't see it, I can't help it, I can only resent God for not opening my eyes, and I want to stuff this world to you!" She joked tactfully, but there was a big deal in her tone.

"I remember you didn't throw this handle away? How could it still be in your hands! I picked up the hilt of the knife that looked a little funny at the moment and played with it in my hand.

"I went to pick it up again the next day, and my husband would rather lose a thousand troops than give up an inch!" This time she tilted her face, which had been level, upwards again.

"You? Big husband! Ha, ha, ha......" I couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the otherwise serious atmosphere was completely destroyed.

"What, can't I call it?" She still tried to maintain her "momentum" and said.

"Big? Well, it's okay! "I deliberately aimed at her breasts with a completely lewd gaze, and then adjusted back and forth as if to make some kind of measurement.

"Shameless!" Even though her face was flushed, she still didn't want to show the slightest weakness in front of me.

"I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, and you don't even forget to be vigilant at this moment!" She said suddenly.

"It's not easy! When was it discovered? I asked with a smile, not denying it.

"About half an hour after I came in, I didn't know where the person was, but I felt a kind of pressure!"

"I see, but you shouldn't be surprised!" I nodded in realization. "Even at such a moment, you may not want to kill me, and I have always been a very cautious person!"

"Your courage is still small, if you dare to take risks, it may not be like this today!" Coral was still there pouting, trying to show disdain and contempt for me.

"What's wrong with this today, I think it's already good!" After talking for a while, I felt a lot more relaxed, and propped my left elbow on my crossed knee. "No matter what people who are not convinced by failure, or who are unlucky, this world is to judge heroes by success or failure, and today I have half of the country, and it is an undefeated situation anyway. Look at your Shimazu family again, now that you have determined that you can only become a cage character, how can you compare with me. Let's talk about what you said at the moment, I just haven't given you a chance to do it! Don't you say you haven't done it, dare you admit it? ”

"If you don't dare, you won't be afraid to admit it!" Her eyes widened suddenly, and her two oily black eyebrows almost stood up. "I almost succeeded in Kanto back then, but unfortunately the will of God did not follow people's wishes. I tried a few more times later, but unfortunately the guards were too strict to enforce. Originally, this was the best opportunity, and I didn't want to be disturbed! She made a look of indignation.

"Then you still accuse me of being vigilant, can I be careless when I stay with a dangerous person like you!" I now feel that her arguments are sometimes simply unreasonable, and that she wants to kill me without keeping me on guard. "By the way, you did the same thing about Hirado, right?" I asked.

"Of course it's me, and I've got two of my pretty capable men for this!" She immediately nodded, her expression becoming very serious.

"Oh......" Although I had been a little prepared for her maverick, I still didn't expect her to be "straightforward" to this extent. "It can be seen that your methods are not clever, and you actually planned such an idiot's action!" I had to hide it.

"It's an operation that can't be successful, but it's still worth it!" She reached out and ripped off the white headdress on her head, shook her head, and her long black hair fell apart. "It's a long night, we might as well talk while drinking!"
