The Threat of Ishikawa Goemon
Chapter 184 The Threat of Ishikawa Goemon (October)
Hideka looked at the uninvited guest sitting in front of him, and the only good feeling he had for Ishikawa Goemon disappeared in his heart. He really came and left whenever he wanted, what did he think of me?
Is it a public place?
In fact, if it's just a matter of etiquette, Hideka can still tolerate it. The key is that what Ishikawa Goemon is doing now is a natural opposite to Hideka's identity.
It was also for this reason that Hideka tried to distance themselves from the meeting this time, and was placed in the main pillar with the largest area. Yuki Shimizu sat behind Hideka, and Kakashi and Asma stood in front of Hideka. There were more than a dozen warriors standing on both sides, all looking at the man in front of them with serious faces.
The Hideka's attitude as if facing an enemy was in stark contrast to Ishikawa Goemon's composure, so much so that Ishikawa Goemon laughed and said, "Your Highness is really ashamed of what you did. The wisdom of 'Xiguo Wushuang'."
Ishikawa Goemon glanced left and right, and said slowly, "There are more than a dozen samurai standing on the left and right, and His Highness is still preparing this bodyguard in front of him. It seems that His Highness has a deep misunderstanding of Xiaomin."
To be honest, Hideka was indeed a little afraid of Ishikawa Goemon. This guy was the guy who could easily steal Hideyoshi's favorite tea set from the heavily guarded Osaka Castle in history.
You must know that the tea room in Japan is similar to the current study room. It is set up not far from the master's bedroom. Ishikawa Goemon can go to the tea room and steal the tea area silently. Naturally, he can enter the bedroom and steal Hideyoshi's head.
From this point of view, Ishikawa Goemon's original intention was to deter Hideyoshi through this action, let him know that there are still people in the world who can check and balance him, let him stop being so arrogant, and treat the people better.
Unexpectedly, in Hideyoshi's eyes, this action was not only a trampling on his own authority, but also aroused Hideyoshi's stress response. He was eager to kill Ishikawa Goemon, and finally burned him to death.
Hideka didn't care about Ishikawa Goemon's ridicule at all. To deal with a tiger, you must be prepared to deal with a tiger. He said with a smile, "Goemon, you are not an ordinary person. I should be more cautious when facing you." yes."
Ishikawa Goemon obviously felt the change in Hideka's attitude, but he also saw that Hideka had no intention of handing him over.
If Xiujia wanted to capture him and hand him over to Masuda Changsheng, he would not meet him in person at all, and only the samurai and ninjas in Ukita House could catch him.
After thinking about this point, Ishikawa Goemon may be out of the purpose of easing the relationship, first bowed to Hideo and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, when Iga Kingdom was slaughtered by Oda Nobunaga, I gave them A safe haven."
Ishikawa Goemon would actually salute a class member he has always looked down upon, which was beyond the expectations of Hideka and Asma who were present. You must know that he even looked down on Oda Nobunaga man.
What Ishikawa Goemon thanked was that it was time for the former Fumide's family to go to Azumian to meet Nobunaga and return. Oda Nobunaga ordered his son Oda Nobuo to kill all disobedient people in Iga during World War II.
At that time, under the intermediary of Ishikawa Goemon, the Hideka accepted in several batches more than a thousand Iga citizens who were unwilling to submit to Nobunaga.
This matter itself is a win-win cooperation. Ukita lacks ninjas with certain abilities to improve the Ukido ninja army who can only assassinate, while there needs a shelter.
It’s just that this matter cannot be made public. After all, the main family of the Xiu family is still the Oda family in name. The less people know about the open digging of the main house, the better. Those people also came to Bizen as refugees in the Uki family. .
Facing Ishikawa Goemon's thanks, Hideka did not reply, but asked straight to the point, "Let's talk about what you want to see me today."
Hearing Hideka's question, Ishikawa Goemon glanced left and right, as if implying that Hideka retreated. After all, what he was going to say next was a matter of law and discipline, and the less people who knew about it, the better.
Unexpectedly, the Xiu family didn't have this idea. Compared with keeping a secret, in the eyes of the Xiu family at this moment, the man sitting opposite was more threatening.
There was no way, Ishikawa Goemon could only bite the bullet and said: "Please help me, Your Highness, to send those poor people out of Kyoto."
In fact, Hideka had already thought of this possibility long before Ishikawa Goemon's arrival, and Hideka didn't hold back, just didn't let him speak out.
As long as the words are kept silent, you and I are still friends, but I didn't expect Ishikawa Goemon to really dare to say it in front of everyone this time.
Before the Xiu family could say anything, Akashi Quandeng, who had just sent the ministers back to the palace and took a sip of cold water, spoke first, "Shut up, the untouchables dare to be so rampant, what are you waiting for, if you don't take him down, bring him to justice."
After listening to Akashi Zento's order, the samurai servants standing on the left and right pulled out their samurai swords from their waists and faced Ishikawa Goemon in the middle. Will really put it into action.
Ishikawa Goemon seemed to have expected this kind of situation, he tidied his clothes a little and said, "I am indeed a pariah, not as noble as an adult, but I am a pariah and I am not an existence that an adult can trample on at will."
When Akashi Quandeng heard this, he didn't believe his words at all, he sneered and said, "When you are about to die, you still utter wild words, now there are thousands of soldiers hunting you outside, do you think you can escape today?"
Ishikawa Goemon said indifferently, "It's like my lord said that my life is worthless, but today I have all of you lords buried with me, and my death is worth it."
Ishikawa Goemon's words frightened everyone present at once, even Hideo stared at him with wide eyes, only to hear him say in a calm manner, "Sir, why don't you stand up and jump twice, look at yourself!" Abdominal pain in the left abdomen."
Everyone looked at Akashi Quandeng, and even Xiujia nodded to him to signal him to follow suit. Akashi Quandeng stood up again, jumped twice, and sure enough, he frowned, and covered his left abdomen with one hand.
If words can be deceiving, Akashi Quandeng's actions really startled everyone, is this poisoned?
Hideka immediately said to Ishikawa Goemon, "When and what kind of poison did you inject?" Hideka was very concerned about this issue, because it was related to whether he was poisoned or not.
Ishikawa Goemon said, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
No matter in the past or in modern times, airborne poisons are almost non-existent. It is really not as magical as described in literary works, and what kind of action does he throw a hidden weapon to poison people, so the only thing left is food It's poisoned.
But Xiu's lunch is eaten in the village at noon, and the slow poison that can be obtained now will change its taste when heated, so the only possibility is to poison in the water.
"Is it water?" Xiujia asked tentatively, "You poisoned the water we drink."
Hearing what Hideka said, Akashi Zento and Shimizu Nobuo shouted at Ishikawa Goemon excitedly, "You bastard, hand over the antidote." The surrounding samurai were also affected and did not dare to make any rash moves.
Ishikawa Goemon said to Akashi Quanto, "My lord, don't get angry, the more angry you are, the worse your abdominal pain will be."
Then he continued to ask the Xiu family, "I ask Your Highness to help me transfer the refugees, and the antidote will naturally come on after the matter is completed."
The Xiu family really didn't expect to be pecked by the eagle in the end, and laughed angrily, "Now that the four doors are closed, no one can go out. If you come to beg me now, I can't help it."
"I advise you to hand over the antidote, and I promise that I will let you go safely unlike arresting and reporting you."
Ishikawa Goemon remained unmoved, but instead threatened the Hide family, "Your Highness, hurry up and think of a way. Even if there is an antidote tomorrow morning, it will be useless."
"Damn it, you bastard." Unable to bear Ishikawa Goemon's threat, Akashi Zento drew his sword and slashed, but he just stood up and fell to the ground in pain.
Seeing Akashi Quandeng's performance, Xiujia felt a little scared, thought for a while and asked, "How many fugitives are there in total, and where are they now?"
Seeing Hideka's statement, Ishikawa Goemon finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that Hideka finally compromised. He said, "There are 136 people, all of whom are waiting in the workshop."
When the Xiu family heard it, their feelings were mixed with other people who hid in Santiaofang. After Santiaofang was searched, they hid them in.
Ishikawa Goemon obviously knew that it was possible for the officers and soldiers of Sanjobo to search once, and the search here was tantamount to slapping Hideka in the face, so he made such an arrangement.
The Xiu family really didn't expect that one day they would be threatened by others, which really made him a little angry.
The team that Xiujia originally wanted to take away included 150 entourages, about 12 personal servants, maids, and about 300 civilian husbands. Now they can replace the civilian husbands and hand them over to Sakai Town with the help of these rioters. , as long as the number of people does not exceed [-], the team size is not too large for the Xiu family.
So Hideo turned to Shinya Shimizu, asked him to go down and arrange one or two, and said to Ishikawa Goemon, "Gather your friends together, let them replace my husband and move things to Sakaimachi for me. The rest of the way is up to you to go on your own.”
Seeing that Hideka agreed, Ishikawa Goemon said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Now that Xiujia saw his face, he became angry, and said angrily, "I have something to thank you, Mr. Ishikawa, I just ask you to give us the antidote on time when you leave Kyoto."
Ishikawa Goemon smiled awkwardly, "When I get out of Beijing, the antidote will definitely be delivered."
By the time Shimizu Nobuya was ready, the sun had already slanted to the west and the mountain was about to set. The Xiu family didn't dare to delay, and led the team of nearly 300 people out of Santiaofang and headed south to Kyoto.
The Kyoto garrison patrolling along the road did not dare to obstruct the team carrying the Xiujia flag, but the Xiujia saw that someone had left the team, so they should have reported it to a higher-ranking officer.
Sure enough, the Xiu family team was blocked outside the south gate, and the leading samurai Xiu family did not know him, but judging from the samurai with the Wusantong pattern on his back and the samurai wearing an iron helmet, it should belong to the banner samurai of the Hashiba family public.
A samurai who can manage more than ten people under Hashiba Hideyoshi's tent is also at the level of an ashigaru general, and he is also quite sophisticated. From a long distance, he saw a team carrying the Hideyoshi flag coming, until Hideyo came to the front Only then did he take a step forward to signal a temporary stop.
"His Royal Highness Yu Chai is going out of the city?" the samurai asked, "Right now, the entire city of Kyoto is sealed off to arrest the gangsters. If there is nothing urgent, please allow me to leave the city in two days."
The samurai's attitude was very good, and he also tried to persuade the Xiu family, but the Xiu family really couldn't wait, so they asked him, "Is it urgent to lead the army? Can we delay it for two days?" ?”
Hearing this, the warrior took a step back and bowed to the Xiu family again, "Excuse me for being rude, the military situation is urgent and naturally cannot be postponed, but the order given by the superior is also a death order, and please don't embarrass me. How about this, I Send someone to rule Katagiri-sama and Masuda-sama, let them come and talk to His Highness in detail."
The Xiu family didn't mean to make it difficult for them to guard the gate, so he told someone to report to them, and then led them to stop here.After the samurai sent his subordinates to report, he personally stayed with Xiu's family.
But after waiting for a long time, Katagiri Kemoto or Masuda Nagamori did not arrive, and the team maintaining Hideka's guard of honor also loosened.
The rear was originally afraid of being betrayed by the Xiu family, and the rebels who temporarily acted as civilian husbands trembled under the gaze of the surrounding banner warriors, and they were about to be exposed.
The Xiu family also showed a hint of impatience here, and the warrior said to the Xiu family, "The two adults probably encountered some delays. Your Highness, why don't you go back to Santiaofang to rest today and go out of the city tomorrow. Let's go." It’s also convenient for night walks.”
When Xiujia heard this, a suspicion appeared in his mind, maybe Katagiri Katmoto and Masuda Nagamori also had the same idea.Now that Hideyoshi is furious, no one dares to let it out, but the Hideyoshi family has to give it face, so they simply avoid it and let this low-level samurai take the blame.
The Xiu family heard that the samurai's attitude was quite submissive, but the Xiu family couldn't wait any longer, because they were poisoned, and immediately said angrily, "The military situation is urgent, and the people of the four countries have fallen into the flames of war. How can we wait another day."
After finishing speaking, Xiujia put his legs between the horse's belly and said loudly, "Let's go."
Before the team started to move, the samurai took two steps forward and grabbed Xiujia's horse rope and said, "Please don't make it difficult for me, Your Highness. Please go back to the mansion and wait for a while. What's the difference between today and tomorrow?"
What day is it today, a daimyo with the identity of Xiujia was held by three people in one day, Xiujia was also annoyed, raised his whip and whipped it down, knocking his iron pocket off with a "slap" sound on the ground.
Xiujia's actions caused a chain reaction. Hashiba Banner, who was guarding the door, had already gathered here. Seeing Xiujia's actions, they all held long spears and drew their swords to point at Xiujia.
The attendants of the Xiu family also drew their horses forward and drew out their samurai swords to confront the Hashiba Hagimoto who was fighting on foot.
The Xiu family didn't expect the situation to develop to this point, but they were already on the verge of riding a tiger, so it was worth continuing to threaten, "If you dare to stop, you will be charged with delaying the military plan. Banbingwei, tell him how to punish."
Shimizu Xin also said very politely, "Behead!"
Shinya Shimizu said the word "cut" very loudly, obviously cooperating with the Xiu family to put pressure on the leader of the samurai group, and the matter has indeed gone out of the scope of his power control, and he is already a little unbearable.
Just at this moment, Katagiri Katagiri, Hirano Changyasu, and Masuda Changsheng came over. Before they arrived, the voice had already come, "Presumptuous, put down the sword and gun quickly, the young master of the Hashiba family is in front of you, Bizen The governor of Yuchai's family, the governor of Yuchai's left guard, is your immediate superior in terms of official position!"
When the Xiu family heard the voice, it was the voice of an old acquaintance, Katagiri Katagiri, who was able to come here with a pinch, and obviously hid from the side for a long time. It must be going back if the Xiu family can go back, and can't control it. idea.
The old acquaintance came to the Xiu family, first picked up the sticker pocket of the banner for the Xiu family, handed it to his hand and cursed, "Why are you so careless, the iron pocket can fall off when you are marching and fighting, your head is Don’t just drop it if you say so!”
The samurai lowered his head and let Katagiri Kasumi scold him. Hideka originally apologized to him, and he was innocent to vent his anger, so he stopped Katagiri Kademoto's scolding and said, "This person is also loyal to his duty. If he didn't I really can't delay because of the military emergency, and I won't choose to leave the city overnight."
"Wake up, wake up, Your Highness is ordered to be a master, how can such a pawn empathize with His Highness's concern for the world." Not to mention, you are worthy of being an important minister who was left alone by Hideyoshi. The art of speaking is indeed a Master, no wonder he was valued for so long in front of the moody Hideyoshi.
Jian Jian was a little embarrassed by what he said, and said, "I don't have any big heart, I just do things for my father, I don't know right from him."
"Yes, Your Highness is very good."
"Can't I go now? The military situation is urgent. If you really want to search one or two, please search quickly. I don't want to be charged with 'the traitor may hide and escape'." The Xiu family didn't want to involve too much here. , asked straight to the topic.
"Ah! How could it be? His Highness is the pillar of Yu Chai. How could he do such a thing? The search is also nonsense. The minister and the lord trust His Highness in every possible way."
Katagiri Katomoto continued to comfort Xiujiadao, jokingly, and searched the guard of honor of the four high ministers in public, which angered the Xiu family, who is a big boss, and Katagiri Kamoto wanted to live longer.
Katagiri then communicated with the other two, and ordered "switch and let go" to the samurai guarding the south gate, and the team stagnant at the south gate was finally able to move again.
Xiujia wanted to move forward along the formation, but he reined in the horse rope and asked the leader of the samurai group who stopped him, "What's your name? Your devotion to duty is worthy of praise."
The samurai hesitated, and Katagiri Katamoto finally introduced, "This person's name is Hiroshi Hiratsuka Hirakuro, and he is from a branch of the Miura family of Misaku. He is a relative of His Highness."
Hiratsuka Hiroshi is not conspicuous among the vast number of Japanese celebrities in the Warring States Period. In the Battle of Sekigahara, he was the only one who said when he and Otani Yoshitsugu died together, "For the sake of righteousness, why should we regret death? My generation's reputation Must Liufang" and so on a few strokes.
The reason Hideka remembers him is also because of the understanding during the Sekigahara War. Hideka knew that he was upright and upright. He started from Hideyoshi’s ordinary bannermen, and eventually became the commander of Ma Kai and the post of Nagoya Town Guard. It can be seen that Hideyoshi trusted him.
Now he is only the head of the ordinary samurai group in the Banner, and it is estimated that he has not yet gained Hideyoshi's appreciation and knowledge, and Hideyoshi suddenly cherished his talents.
"I said that the military situation of the four countries is urgent. I didn't mean to lie to you. Now that the correct warriors in front of the account listen to it, you are willing to go to the four countries with me and witness the facts with your own eyes."
The Xiu family really likes this samurai, but they can't blatantly poach someone from Hideyoshi's banner crowd, they can only use the excuse of recruiting the Four Kingdoms Legion, and then slowly transfer him to his own name as a sent horse.
But even so, the Hideka's proposal was a bit unexpected, which made him feel a little overwhelmed, and Katagiri Kasumi hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and agree, how much is it to be able to use it under the supervision of the left gate guard?" This is an opportunity that even big names can only dream of!"
Unexpectedly, Hiroshi Hiratsuka repeatedly popped out the sentence "I am the samurai of Hashiba Nagon, I should do my duty faithfully and share the worries of the Lord, please forgive me for not following my orders."
The Xiu family didn't get involved with him after hearing that, talent is indeed rare, but there is no need for the Xiu family to lick their faces and beg him to come, just throwing a sentence "He is really a loyal man" and immediately went away.
After Hideo left, Katagiri Katmoto and Hirano Choyasu all beat their chests, regretting for Hiratsuka Hiroshi and said, "Do you know what a great opportunity you missed? Knowing that the revival of the family name is imminent!"
However, it is said that Hideka's team finally left Kyoto without any risk and walked to the Yodo River to prepare for a rest. Akashi Quanto had already gone one step ahead of time to play Katsuryuji Castle to lobby for Hideka to enter the city to rest.
When Xiu's family came to the bottom of Shenglong Temple City, it had been night for a long time, and the team was a little sleepy. Akashi Quandeng rode a fast horse again and said to Xiu's family, "Everything is ready, Your Highness, and you can go to the city to rest at any time."
Unexpectedly, Xiujia looked at his skillful ups and downs on the horse, and asked, "Sabusuke, your abdominal pain has stopped? Do you still feel poisoned?"
Hearing Xiujia's question, Akashi Quandeng immediately came to make a few big movements, his face was not abnormal, and he said to Xiujia with some doubts, "It's strange, why is there no pain? Could it be that I am terminally ill? gone?"
Unlike Quandeng Akashi, the Hide family is also a highly educated person. When he asked Quandeng Akashi carefully what he did before he suffered from the abdominal pain, Quandeng Akashi replied, "After sending the lords back, I ran back to the mansion quickly because I was worried about your highness. Ah, nothing special."
"After coming back, what did you drink?" Xiujia asked.
"Drinking a ladle of cold water, didn't His Highness say that he poisoned the water?" Akashi Quandeng asked puzzled.
Xiujia heard about it and discovered the difference between himself and Akashi Quandeng. He only drank cold water for free, while traditional warriors like Akashi Quandeng still drank well water directly because the well water was cold.
If Ishikawa Goemon had poisoned the well water, it would not have harmed the Hide family, because the poison would change its chemical structure, or change color or emit an odor when exposed to high temperatures.
At the same time, poisoning Mukai will poison many innocent people, which is contradictory to Ishikawa Goemon's character as a chivalrous thief.Xiujia would never believe that Ishikawa Goemon would kill more innocent people just for a few people.
Hideka let Akashi Quandeng get off the horse, and went up to see him in person. He repeatedly pressed on the part of Akashi Quandeng's abdominal pain before, and there was nothing abnormal.
There was no poison at all, just the abdominal muscle spasm caused by Akashi Quanto drinking cold water after strenuous exercise.
Good guy, Hideya is a bird that was completely sneaked by Ishikawa Goemon for a day!
The number of words owed this week has been completed
(End of this chapter)

By the time Shimizu Nobuya was ready, the sun had already slanted to the west and the mountain was about to set. The Xiu family didn't dare to delay, and led the team of nearly 300 people out of Santiaofang and headed south to Kyoto.
The Kyoto garrison patrolling along the road did not dare to obstruct the team carrying the Xiujia flag, but the Xiujia saw that someone had left the team, so they should have reported it to a higher-ranking officer.
Sure enough, the Xiu family team was blocked outside the south gate, and the leading samurai Xiu family did not know him, but judging from the samurai with the Wusantong pattern on his back and the samurai wearing an iron helmet, it should belong to the banner samurai of the Hashiba family public.
A samurai who can manage more than ten people under Hashiba Hideyoshi's tent is also at the level of an ashigaru general, and he is also quite sophisticated. From a long distance, he saw a team carrying the Hideyoshi flag coming, until Hideyo came to the front Only then did he take a step forward to signal a temporary stop.
"His Royal Highness Yu Chai is going out of the city?" the samurai asked, "Right now, the entire city of Kyoto is sealed off to arrest the gangsters. If there is nothing urgent, please allow me to leave the city in two days."
The samurai's attitude was very good, and he also tried to persuade the Xiu family, but the Xiu family really couldn't wait, so they asked him, "Is it urgent to lead the army? Can we delay it for two days?" ?”
Hearing this, the warrior took a step back and bowed to the Xiu family again, "Excuse me for being rude, the military situation is urgent and naturally cannot be postponed, but the order given by the superior is also a death order, and please don't embarrass me. How about this, I Send someone to rule Katagiri-sama and Masuda-sama, let them come and talk to His Highness in detail."
The Xiu family didn't mean to make it difficult for them to guard the gate, so he told someone to report to them, and then led them to stop here.After the samurai sent his subordinates to report, he personally stayed with Xiu's family.
But after waiting for a long time, Katagiri Kemoto or Masuda Nagamori did not arrive, and the team maintaining Hideka's guard of honor also loosened.
The rear was originally afraid of being betrayed by the Xiu family, and the rebels who temporarily acted as civilian husbands trembled under the gaze of the surrounding banner warriors, and they were about to be exposed.
The Xiu family also showed a hint of impatience here, and the warrior said to the Xiu family, "The two adults probably encountered some delays. Your Highness, why don't you go back to Santiaofang to rest today and go out of the city tomorrow. Let's go." It’s also convenient for night walks.”
When Xiujia heard this, a suspicion appeared in his mind, maybe Katagiri Katmoto and Masuda Nagamori also had the same idea.Now that Hideyoshi is furious, no one dares to let it out, but the Hideyoshi family has to give it face, so they simply avoid it and let this low-level samurai take the blame.
The Xiu family heard that the samurai's attitude was quite submissive, but the Xiu family couldn't wait any longer, because they were poisoned, and immediately said angrily, "The military situation is urgent, and the people of the four countries have fallen into the flames of war. How can we wait another day."
After finishing speaking, Xiujia put his legs between the horse's belly and said loudly, "Let's go."
Before the team started to move, the samurai took two steps forward and grabbed Xiujia's horse rope and said, "Please don't make it difficult for me, Your Highness. Please go back to the mansion and wait for a while. What's the difference between today and tomorrow?"
What day is it today, a daimyo with the identity of Xiujia was held by three people in one day, Xiujia was also annoyed, raised his whip and whipped it down, knocking his iron pocket off with a "slap" sound on the ground.
Xiujia's actions caused a chain reaction. Hashiba Banner, who was guarding the door, had already gathered here. Seeing Xiujia's actions, they all held long spears and drew their swords to point at Xiujia.
The attendants of the Xiu family also drew their horses forward and drew out their samurai swords to confront the Hashiba Hagimoto who was fighting on foot.
The Xiu family didn't expect the situation to develop to this point, but they were already on the verge of riding a tiger, so it was worth continuing to threaten, "If you dare to stop, you will be charged with delaying the military plan. Banbingwei, tell him how to punish."
Shimizu Xin also said very politely, "Behead!"
Shinya Shimizu said the word "cut" very loudly, obviously cooperating with the Xiu family to put pressure on the leader of the samurai group, and the matter has indeed gone out of the scope of his power control, and he is already a little unbearable.
Just at this moment, Katagiri Katagiri, Hirano Changyasu, and Masuda Changsheng came over. Before they arrived, the voice had already come, "Presumptuous, put down the sword and gun quickly, the young master of the Hashiba family is in front of you, Bizen The governor of Yuchai's family, the governor of Yuchai's left guard, is your immediate superior in terms of official position!"
When the Xiu family heard the voice, it was the voice of an old acquaintance, Katagiri Katagiri, who was able to come here with a pinch, and obviously hid from the side for a long time. It must be going back if the Xiu family can go back, and can't control it. idea.
The old acquaintance came to the Xiu family, first picked up the sticker pocket of the banner for the Xiu family, handed it to his hand and cursed, "Why are you so careless, the iron pocket can fall off when you are marching and fighting, your head is Don’t just drop it if you say so!”
The samurai lowered his head and let Katagiri Kasumi scold him. Hideka originally apologized to him, and he was innocent to vent his anger, so he stopped Katagiri Kademoto's scolding and said, "This person is also loyal to his duty. If he didn't I really can't delay because of the military emergency, and I won't choose to leave the city overnight."
"Wake up, wake up, Your Highness is ordered to be a master, how can such a pawn empathize with His Highness's concern for the world." Not to mention, you are worthy of being an important minister who was left alone by Hideyoshi. The art of speaking is indeed a Master, no wonder he was valued for so long in front of the moody Hideyoshi.
Jian Jian was a little embarrassed by what he said, and said, "I don't have any big heart, I just do things for my father, I don't know right from him."
"Yes, Your Highness is very good."
"Can't I go now? The military situation is urgent. If you really want to search one or two, please search quickly. I don't want to be charged with 'the traitor may hide and escape'." The Xiu family didn't want to involve too much here. , asked straight to the topic.
"Ah! How could it be? His Highness is the pillar of Yu Chai. How could he do such a thing? The search is also nonsense. The minister and the lord trust His Highness in every possible way."
Katagiri Katomoto continued to comfort Xiujiadao, jokingly, and searched the guard of honor of the four high ministers in public, which angered the Xiu family, who is a big boss, and Katagiri Kamoto wanted to live longer.
Katagiri then communicated with the other two, and ordered "switch and let go" to the samurai guarding the south gate, and the team stagnant at the south gate was finally able to move again.
Xiujia wanted to move forward along the formation, but he reined in the horse rope and asked the leader of the samurai group who stopped him, "What's your name? Your devotion to duty is worthy of praise."
The samurai hesitated, and Katagiri Katamoto finally introduced, "This person's name is Hiroshi Hiratsuka Hirakuro, and he is from a branch of the Miura family of Misaku. He is a relative of His Highness."
Hiratsuka Hiroshi is not conspicuous among the vast number of Japanese celebrities in the Warring States Period. In the Battle of Sekigahara, he was the only one who said when he and Otani Yoshitsugu died together, "For the sake of righteousness, why should we regret death? My generation's reputation Must Liufang" and so on a few strokes.
The reason Hideka remembers him is also because of the understanding during the Sekigahara War. Hideka knew that he was upright and upright. He started from Hideyoshi’s ordinary bannermen, and eventually became the commander of Ma Kai and the post of Nagoya Town Guard. It can be seen that Hideyoshi trusted him.
Now he is only the head of the ordinary samurai group in the Banner, and it is estimated that he has not yet gained Hideyoshi's appreciation and knowledge, and Hideyoshi suddenly cherished his talents.
"I said that the military situation of the four countries is urgent. I didn't mean to lie to you. Now that the correct warriors in front of the account listen to it, you are willing to go to the four countries with me and witness the facts with your own eyes."
The Xiu family really likes this samurai, but they can't blatantly poach someone from Hideyoshi's banner crowd, they can only use the excuse of recruiting the Four Kingdoms Legion, and then slowly transfer him to his own name as a sent horse.
But even so, the Hideka's proposal was a bit unexpected, which made him feel a little overwhelmed, and Katagiri Kasumi hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and agree, how much is it to be able to use it under the supervision of the left gate guard?" This is an opportunity that even big names can only dream of!"
Unexpectedly, Hiroshi Hiratsuka repeatedly popped out the sentence "I am the samurai of Hashiba Nagon, I should do my duty faithfully and share the worries of the Lord, please forgive me for not following my orders."
The Xiu family didn't get involved with him after hearing that, talent is indeed rare, but there is no need for the Xiu family to lick their faces and beg him to come, just throwing a sentence "He is really a loyal man" and immediately went away.
After Hideo left, Katagiri Katmoto and Hirano Choyasu all beat their chests, regretting for Hiratsuka Hiroshi and said, "Do you know what a great opportunity you missed? Knowing that the revival of the family name is imminent!"
However, it is said that Hideka's team finally left Kyoto without any risk and walked to the Yodo River to prepare for a rest. Akashi Quanto had already gone one step ahead of time to play Katsuryuji Castle to lobby for Hideka to enter the city to rest.
When Xiu's family came to the bottom of Shenglong Temple City, it had been night for a long time, and the team was a little sleepy. Akashi Quandeng rode a fast horse again and said to Xiu's family, "Everything is ready, Your Highness, and you can go to the city to rest at any time."
Unexpectedly, Xiujia looked at his skillful ups and downs on the horse, and asked, "Sabusuke, your abdominal pain has stopped? Do you still feel poisoned?"
Hearing Xiujia's question, Akashi Quandeng immediately came to make a few big movements, his face was not abnormal, and he said to Xiujia with some doubts, "It's strange, why is there no pain? Could it be that I am terminally ill? gone?"
Unlike Quandeng Akashi, the Hide family is also a highly educated person. When he asked Quandeng Akashi carefully what he did before he suffered from the abdominal pain, Quandeng Akashi replied, "After sending the lords back, I ran back to the mansion quickly because I was worried about your highness. Ah, nothing special."
"After coming back, what did you drink?" Xiujia asked.
"Drinking a ladle of cold water, didn't His Highness say that he poisoned the water?" Akashi Quandeng asked puzzled.
Xiujia heard about it and discovered the difference between himself and Akashi Quandeng. He only drank cold water for free, while traditional warriors like Akashi Quandeng still drank well water directly because the well water was cold.
If Ishikawa Goemon had poisoned the well water, it would not have harmed the Hide family, because the poison would change its chemical structure, or change color or emit an odor when exposed to high temperatures.
At the same time, poisoning Mukai will poison many innocent people, which is contradictory to Ishikawa Goemon's character as a chivalrous thief.Xiujia would never believe that Ishikawa Goemon would kill more innocent people just for a few people.
Hideka let Akashi Quandeng get off the horse, and went up to see him in person. He repeatedly pressed on the part of Akashi Quandeng's abdominal pain before, and there was nothing abnormal.
There was no poison at all, just the abdominal muscle spasm caused by Akashi Quanto drinking cold water after strenuous exercise.
Good guy, Hideya is a bird that was completely sneaked by Ishikawa Goemon for a day!
