Behind this hidden attic, there is a small stone house, and Hosokawa Yasumoto and his sister Hosokawa Keiko walked to the door of the stone house.

I only heard Hosokawa Yasumoto say to his sister Hosokawa Keiko:

"Keiko, she's inside, go see for yourself!"

After listening to this, he immediately pushed open the door and walked inside.

As a result, a madman with gray hair and ragged clothes appeared inside who was hiding in the corner of the wall and shivering, and Keiko was instantly startled when she saw it.

After slowing down for a while, I walked in and took a closer look, wasn't this person Haruko?

Keiko hurriedly rushed forward at this time and hugged Haruko, and said:

"Sister Haruko, how did you become like this...... What the hell is going on?"

Haruko ignored Keiko, but pushed Keiko away and asked loudly:

"Who are you...... Who is Haruko?"

Seeing this, Keiko stepped forward and hugged Haruko again, and said:

"Sister Haruko, have you forgotten me? I'm Sister Keiko! We went to the Central Plains together a few years ago to find Brother Du, don't you remember this?"

Haruko said again:

"Who is Brother Du...... Don't come here, I don't know you......!"

Then he got up and pushed Keiko a few times in a row, and kept saying:

"Get out of here...... Get out of here...... Get out of ......!"

Keiko had no choice but to retreat at this time, and then Hosokawa Yasumoto came over and closed the door.

Keiko roared angrily at Hosokawa Yasugen at this time:

"What the hell did you do to Haruko's sister, why did he do this, you tell me...... You tell me ......!"

Hosokawa Yasumoto came over and hugged Keiko tightly and said:

"Sister, calm down...... Calm down, I'll tell you slowly when I go back!"

The two of them returned to the attic at this time, and Hosokawa Yasumoto told Keiko about Haruko.

Almost two years ago, after Hosokawa Yasumoto secretly kidnapped Haruko from Du Bufu, he took her all the way back to Fuso, and wanted to threaten Ouchi Yoshitaka with the identity that Haruko was Ouchi Yoshitaka's sister, so that he would no longer hunt down Hosokawa Yasumoto himself and his father Hosokawa Takakuni.

At this time, rumors began to spread within the Ouchi family, some people said that Haruko was not the daughter of Ouchi Yoshiko, and some people even framed Ouchi Yoshitaka for not being Ouchi Yoshiko's own son.

Naturally, this matter was also known to Hosokawa Yassumito, and Hosokawa Yasumoto felt that this was a good opportunity to eradicate Ouchi Yoshitaka, so he let himself be an undercover agent by Ouchi Yoshitaka's side, Wang Zhi, and united the powerful factions in the Ouchi family who were not compatible with Ouchi Yoshitaka, intending to subvert Ouchi Yoshitaka's position as the family governor in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, when Hosokawa Yasumoto came with his subordinates and was ready to join forces with the allies within the Ouchi family to besiege Ouchi Yoshitaka, he found that his allies within the Ouchi family helped Ouchi Yoshitaka besiege him.

Hosokawa Yasugen naturally lost his life at this time, but fortunately, there was Haruko as a hostage by his side, and Ouchi Yoshitaka relented and let Hosokawa Yasumoto and Haruko escape.

Hosokawa Yasumoto later slowly understood that he was betrayed by Wang Zhi this time, but he had no choice but to retreat to the hiding place of his father Hosokawa Takakuni with Haruko.

And Haruko naturally learned that her identity might be from the Central Plains during this incident, and her heart naturally changed.

Unexpectedly, after Hosokawa Yasumoto took Haruko to see his father Hosokawa Takakoku, Hosokawa Takakuni was naturally angry, and he had no hope of recovering the country several times, so he took advantage of this several times to forcibly occupy the daughter of the enemy Ouchi Yoshiko, Ouchi Haruko, to vent his anger.

Haruko naturally became in a trance, depressed and unhappy, until Hosokawa Takakuni died, Haruko became like this, until now.

After Keiko listened, although she felt very uncomfortable, she was helpless, so she had to say to her brother Hosokawa Yasumoto:

"Brother, can you promise me to let me take Haruko away, I must compensate her well!"

Hosokawa Yasumoto said at this time:

"Then sister, can you do what you promised my brother?"

Keiko said a little angrily at this time:

"Haruko is like this, brother, you still put forward conditions to me, are you still human?"

When Hosokawa Yasumoto heard this, he was furious, and immediately came over and slapped Haruko hard, saying:

"Get the hell out of me...... Get out of here, I don't need a sister like you!"

After hearing this, Keiko covered her freshly beaten face and ran out of the courtyard with tears in her eyes.

Du didn't forget to see Keiko coming back, covered his face, as if he had cried, and hurriedly came over and hugged Keiko and asked:

"Keiko, what's wrong with you, did your brother Hosokawa Yasumoto bully you?"

Keiko didn't reply, but kept crying.

At this time, Xi Siqi also came over, comforted Keiko a few words, and then removed Keiko's hand covering her face, only to see a bruised handprint on her face.

At this time, Du did not forget to let go of Keiko, so he said:

"Hosokawa Yasumoto, I'll go to him now to settle the score!"

was about to go out, but was stopped by Fu Tianchen on the side, and then Fu Tianchen said:

"After all, your wife Keiko and he are brothers and sisters, this is also a matter between brothers and sisters, don't be impulsive first, Keiko hasn't spoken yet!"

At this time, after listening to Fu Tianchen, Keiko walked over and said to Du Yifu:

"Brother Du, I beg you not to trouble my brother, after all, it is now Keiko's dearest person besides you!"

Du Buyi had to hold his breath and said:

"Well, for Keiko's sake, I don't care about it!"

Then he asked:

"Keiko, do you have any news of Haruko?"

At this time, Keiko hesitated, and then said:

"I've already seen Sister Haruko just now, he's fine now, I'll take Brother Du to save her at night!"

Du didn't forget to come over, hugged Keiko tightly, and said:

"It's also my fault today that Keiko made you angry!"

Keiko replied:

"Sister Haruko is also my best sister, of course I can't leave her alone, these are what I should do!"

At this time, Nizi Quanjiu came over again, and then said to a few people:

"I have prepared wine and food for a few distinguished guests to entertain you, and my grandfather also wants to meet the demeanor of several heroes of the Central Plains!"

Fu Tianchen said:

"Okay, I'm hungry for a long time, and I want to meet your Zhuge Kong Minnizi of Fusang Country for a long time. ”

At this time, Nizi Quanjiu replied:

"How dare my grandfather compare with your Zhuge Kongming in the Central Plains!"

Du Yi did not forget and also said:

"I've also heard of the name of Nizi's long-lasting predecessors, and I heard that Nizi's long-lasting predecessors are your No. 1 strategists in Fusang Country today, I think the long-lasting predecessors are more like Cao Mengde of our Central Plains!"

At this moment, a girl next to him with a pestle and a cane helped him, and an old man who was already over seventy years old walked in.

At this time, Nizi Quanjiu hurriedly walked forward and saluted the old man, and then said:

"Grandpa, aren't you in good health, why did you come here in person?"

This old man is Nizi for a long time, and after Nizi found a place to sit down for a long time, he glanced at Du Zhen and a few people, and said:

"My old fellow saw that you hadn't come to dinner for so long, so he was too busy to take a walk. ”

Then he looked at Du and said:

"Look at Gongzi, you are young and vigorous, strong in blood, and heroic, you must not forget Du Gongzi, right?"

Du did not forget to hurriedly come over and salute the nun for a long time, and then replied:

"I am not forgetting in my late life, thank you for the praise of Nizi's predecessors!"

At this time, Nizi looked at Fu Tianchen again for a long time and said:

"I heard that there is a disguise technique in the Central Plains that is very peculiar, and the art of a soil escape is even more incredible, this son must be Fu Tianchen Fu Gongzi who has two thaumaturgies!"

Fu Tianchen was shocked, he didn't expect this nun to know himself so well for a long time, and immediately replied:

"Nizi has been praised by your predecessors for a long time, and these are just some opportunistic tricks in my later life, not enough to hang on...... Not enough to hang on!"

Niko smiled for a long time, did not speak, then looked at Keiko Hosokawa, and then said:

"We are a big beauty in Fusang, I won't say much about the old man!"

Then he said to Xi Siqi:

"I heard that Du Gongzi's wife Xi Siqi is not only beautiful and beautiful, smart and generous, but also the daughter of Xi Shu, an important minister of the former Ming Cabinet, right?"

Xi Siqi smiled, then walked over and saluted to Nizi for a long time, and said:

"Nizi's long-lasting predecessors are really Fusang Zhuge Liang, and he is actually far away in Fusang, and even our predecessors in the Central Plains have inquired so clearly?"

After a long time, Nizi said:

"Old man, I have lived such a long time, of course, the best thing is to know yourself and know the other, if you come to my palace as a guest, I don't know anything about you, old man, how can I do the friendship of the landlord!"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"I thought that the long-lasting predecessors were just good at scheming, but I didn't expect the long-lasting predecessors to be better at understanding people's hearts?"

Niko laughed for a long time, and then said:

"My Nizi has been fighting in the north and south for a long time, but unfortunately he has never achieved anything, so he has to survive here but is crippled. ”

Du did not forget to say:

"Nizi has been too humble for a long time. ”

At this time, Nizi looked up at Du for a long time and said:

"I heard that when Du Gongzi was a general, he had experienced several wars and never had a defeat, but it is conceivable that Du Gongzi's talent has already surpassed the old man, and I have a reluctant request today to ask Du Gongzi for advice!"

Du did not forget to hurriedly say:

"Nizi has endured for a long time, you can't say such things, how can I compare with your predecessors, the lord of a country that has been through a hundred battles and divided one side!"

Then he said:

"Senior, if you have something to say, just ask!"

At this time, Nizi took a sip of tea on the table for a long time, and then said to Du Yiyi:

"When a big battle is about to break out, how can one side be determined to be the winner?"

Du did not forget to laugh and replied:

"This kind of thing is not easy to judge, if I think, of course, the most prepared side will naturally have the highest chance of winning, but sometimes there will be some unexpected situations!"

After a long time, Nizi immediately asked:

"Then Du Gongzi, what do you think is an unexpected situation?"

Du Cheng said:

"Of course, it's 'surprising and winning'!"

At this time, Nizi said with a smile to the side of Nizi Quanjiu:

"Look at the young age of Du Gongzi, and he has all kinds of learning, he is really a genius in the world, you must hurry up and learn from Du Gongzi!"

Nizi Quanjiu immediately replied:

"Grandpa, I've got it!"

At this time, Nizi asked Du for a long time:

"What does it mean to be a surprise winner?"

Du did not forget and said:

"The soldiers are treacherous, when the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, of course you have to take the trick of wonder and ingenuity!"

Then he slowed down and continued:

"For example, if the enemy soldiers come to besiege the city, and our troops are less than half of the opponent's, we have to hold on for the time being, and then after discovering the enemy's weakness or the enemy's general's temperamental shortcomings, we will use tactics to make them fall into our trap, and we will naturally win a big victory. ”

At this time, Nizi clapped his hands for a long time and said:

"Du Gongzi is really worthy of being a genius for a day, I wonder if Du Gongzi can help our Nizi family tide over this difficult time here?"

Du did not forget to ask:

"Could it be that your second son rebelled?"

Nizi replied for a long time:

"It's about this, presumably Du Gongzi has already heard about it!"
