Kyoto, castle tower.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi is receiving a daimyo who has arrived from Oshu, Date Masamune.

The man known as the one-eyed dragon of Oshu, the man who had made a bold promise to 'be born twenty years early and achieve the hegemony of Nobunaga', now knelt in front of Hideyoshi trembling like a cat.

Not far behind him was the coffin he had brought with him from Oshu.

"Ita-kun, I heard that you've been getting very close to Jia Kang-kun recently, but is there such a thing? Ita-kun? Ita-kun!!"

Date Masamune trembled so much that he didn't hear what Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, and his dream of getting involved in the world came to naught in an instant. For some reason, the man in front of him has become an insurmountable mountain, and behind the mountain is the world he has in mind!

The phrase 'There is no end to the birds, and the mountains cannot be crossed!' kept hovering in Date Masamune's mind, like a world of great wisdom engraved in his mind.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi said slightly angrily: "Date kun, you didn't answer but acquiesced?!"

He was so scared that he couldn't hear any sound, and the only one left looked at Hideyoshi with one eye, and the fear that had sprung up from the bottom of his heart jumped into his eyes.

Hideyoshi naturally saw his fear, which made him both complacent and lost.

The complacent thing is that his majesty is enough to breathe people's hearts, and the disappointment is that even the famous 'One-eyed Dragon of Oshu' is afraid of him so much, it is really boring.

He sighed slightly, sat up straight, and walked unhurriedly towards Date Masamune.

One-step, two-step, three-step...... Date Masamune silently counted, if he didn't do something at this moment, he would be frightened by this majesty, but he didn't know what he could do, so he could only count like this.

Hideyoshi walked around his back and stood quietly behind him without making the slightest sound.

"He's going to kill me?!" Date Masamune cried out in his heart.

"He was afraid that I would resist, so he deliberately went around my back, just to take advantage of my unpreparedness to kill the killer? No! No! He didn't have to do this, he didn't need to kill me himself, as long as he said a word, someone would kill me for him. ”

Sweat slid down his face one by one, and it didn't take long for his whole body to be soaked with sweat.

He has always been conceited, he likes the envy of others, and since he was a child, he has loved gorgeous clothes, only in this way can he stand out from the crowd and be recognized at a glance.

Date Masamune's heart suddenly understood, "I understand what he means, this monkey-like man is standing behind me, he wants to tell me that he can take my life at any time! He wants to tell me that there is always a knife hanging behind my back! What a calculating guy, I don't know when his knife will fall!"

Date Masamune was afraid, terrified of the man behind him, and even more afraid of the knife in the man's hand.

And this man did not really have a knife in his hand, and this was even more terrifying, as long as he gave an order, there would be hundreds, thousands, and thousands of people who would chop themselves into meat with axes in their hands.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at his back, suddenly smiled dryly, patted him on the shoulder, and walked behind him to take a closer look at the coffin.

Hideyoshi knocked on the left side and touched the right side, as if he was picking a coffin.

Hideyoshi opened his mouth and asked, "How long have you been preparing this coffin?"

Date Masamune trembled and moved his body to face him and said, "Soon, I only prepared for half a month in a hurry. ”

"Half a month?Oshu is really a place of outstanding people and abundant products, like this kind of coffin I rarely see in Kyoto, it seems that the Mutsu area has developed well under your rule over the years. ”

Date Masamune heard the voice outside the words, and grabbed the land with his head, "Thanks to Lord Guanbai, in recent years, the wind and rain in Oshu have been smooth and the grain harvest has been abundant, and the national strength is strong, in the future, I will add 100,000 stone of grain every year to Lord Guanbai, and I will express my heart." ”

100,000 stone of grain, this is the harvest of some small countries in Japan for several years, Date Masamune's lion-like promise is afraid that this 100,000 stone grain will not be able to save his life!

Hideyoshi smiled and said, "Sure enough, it is an unborn masterpiece, 100,000 stones, which is really a lot of money." However, I, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, am rich in the world, will I send you this 100,000 stone of grain?!"

Date Masamune was stunned, and he couldn't even block the mouth of this lion with 100,000 stone of grain, and he really didn't know how much he wanted.

He was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and asked tentatively, "Why not 300,000 stones?"

For him, 300,000 koku is almost half of the harvest in the Mutsu area, and if he contributes all this food, all the people in the Mutsu area will not have enough to eat, and it will almost turn the prosperous country that the Date family has run for generations into a barren land overnight.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi looked at him in surprise, he also knew what 300,000 stone meant to Date Masamune, he had seen many ruthless people in his life, even Oda Nobunaga was not as fierce as him back then.

"Is it possible to block the ancestral inheritance to save his life? Seeing that he is not a person who is afraid of death, how could he do such a thing?"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought about it and shook his head, "Even if you give me 500,000 stones, what use will it be for me?"

"This ......" Hideyoshi really pushed Date Masamune into a corner, Date Masamune admired Chinese culture, he wanted to learn from the Yue King Goujian lying down and taste the courage, as long as he saved his life and returned to the territory of Mutsu, there would be infinite possibilities.

"Could it be that he saw through my mind? Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it's really amazing!"

He thought in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it at all, "How much does Lord Guan Bai want?

Toyotomi Hideyoshi smiled, the person who uses such means is indeed a talent, and he has now developed a heart for talent.

He slapped the coffin hard, turned back to his seat and sat down, his eyes glancing, and the important minister Ishida Mitsunari immediately understood the meaning, and stepped forward to listen to Hideyoshi's instructions.

Date Masamune saw the corners of Ishida Mitsunari's mouth bend slightly, and his heart "chuckled", "It's not good! It seems that they are going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, it seems that I don't even have a chance to cut my stomach today!"

Ishida Mitsunari bowed and came to help Date Masamune, "Lord Date has come from afar and traveled hard! ”

"What does that mean by Lord Sekibai......"

"Lord Guan Bai wants one of your troops, I heard that your iron artillery team is invincible in the world, and the combination of iron artillery and war horses is both mobile and lethal, several levels stronger than ordinary troops. As long as you hand over this unit, Lord Guan Bai will not be guilty of the past and will have a big reward. ”

The Iron Artillery Corps is the lifeblood of Date Masamune, and it is also the capital of his ability to dominate Oshu. This unit has been raised since he took over the state, and the business expansion of more than ten years has reached its current scale, and it can be said that this army is where he has worked all his life, and it is more deadly than asking him for 300,000 stone grain!

Ishida Mitsunari stared at him with eyes that seemed to kill people, as if he couldn't make him die on the spot in an instant.

Date Masamune hesitated in his heart, looking at Ishida Mitsunari for a while and then at Toyotomi Hideyoshi, how he hoped that a thunderbolt would fall from the sky to hit Toyotomi Hideyoshi and make this matter turn around.

Of course, the fact that the thunderbolt happened to hit Toyotomi Hideyoshi on a sunny day would definitely not happen, but this matter really took a turn for the better.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi felt a sudden pain in his heart for some reason, and he could barely straighten his waist in pain.

Ishida Mitsunari was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped him up and shouted: "Doctor! Doctor! Quickly, someone is called a doctor!"

"Good opportunity!" Date Masamune said to himself.

He took advantage of the chaos and asked Ishida Mitsunari, "Lord Guan Bai is like this, can I retire first?"

Ishida Mitsunari didn't have time to deal with him, and waved his hand to signal him to step back.

Date Masamune received amnesty, threw the coffin in Nafei and ran away, and said secretly, "This coffin is still left to Toyotomi Hideyoshi yourself!"

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's sudden pain in his heart was not because of anything else, it was precisely because of the 'ghost of Azuchi Momoyama', Kojiro Sasaki.

At the moment when he was scorched by the electric snake, Hideyoshi's whole body was like a lightning strike, and his heart and flesh were tangled together, and he even bit his lips in pain.

Within a moment, all the doctors rushed over and knelt in front of Hideyoshi. They had never seen Toyotomi Hideyoshi look like this, and they saw that his face was as pale as a blank sheet of paper, and it was not much better than a dead man.

The doctors were all terrified, and none of them could diagnose any disease.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi took a big breath, pushed everyone away and scolded: "Get out!

When Ishida Mitsunari heard this, he immediately shouted back and turned around and said, "Lord Guan Bai, I'll step back first, and call me again if necessary." ”

Hideyoshi gasped and nodded slightly.

As soon as Ishida Mitsunari left, suddenly a gust of wind blew, rolling up a black mist out of thin air, and a monk wearing a Taoist robe appeared in the black fog after a while.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the monk stretched out his two fingers and clicked a few times on Hideyoshi's body, which relieved him.

"Looks like something happened to that man!" Toyotomi Hideyoshi said, gasping.

"Yes, I've just learned that he was half-dead from the Heavenly Tribulation caused by the 'Ghost Night's Beheading' Gu Shou Bird, and is now almost burned to charcoals. ”

"This ...... How did the Ibaraki boy do things, how could he be calculated by the mere aunt and bird. ”

The monk in the Taoist robe thumped his feet and sighed, "The Ibaraki boy has met him, and he is afraid that he will recognize him, so he doesn't dare to help too much, the big tengu is late, and this is the ......."

"Nonsense! How can the big tengu compare to the demon power of the Ibaraki boy, it seems that the Ibaraki boy's skin should be tight!"

"Yes, yes, I will teach him a good lesson. The monk in the Taoist robe restrained his hands and feet, for fear that something would go wrong with Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

He eased up on his own for a while, and suddenly his body shook, and a cold breath penetrated his body and made him shiver, scolding: "What the hell is going on?!!

The monk in the Taoist robe hurriedly pinched his fingers and counted, and his face was stunned on the spot.

"What the hell is going on, why am I so cold?"

"It's the Snow Maiden, he accidentally froze Kojiro. ”

Toyotomi Hideyoshi couldn't stand it, and immediately took a sip, "Damn, what does this old lady want to do?"

She ...... Missed, sloppy. ”

After a while, Hideyoshi's coldness disappeared, and his body was relieved and his expression was much better.

The monk in the robe asked, "Are you all right?" ”

Hideyoshi slowed down and crossed his knees before saying, "It's okay, if he wasn't seriously injured, I wouldn't have reacted this way." But after this incident, it seems that the 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk' and the Abe family are a bunch of waste, and you can keep an eye on the big things for me in the future!"

Hideyoshi's words had a commanding tone and no good spirit, it stands to reason that with his strength, he can play Abe Kosan and Ibaraki Boy like a beast, and there is no need to be so well-behaved to a mere mortal. The only thing that can be explained is that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's strength is much higher than him, so high that it is difficult for him to reach!
