Chapter 35 Chapter 35

When Ishida Mitsunari, accompanied by Satake Yoshinobu, arrived at Ukita's mansion, the Kita Hide family and Uesugi Kekatsu had been waiting for a long time.Both of them had sullen faces, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that they sympathized with what happened to Sancheng, but they were also very embarrassed. "Master Mao Li has also known the meeting, but it has not yet arrived. It seems that things are really as Mr. Xiao Xi said." The Xiu family asked the idlers to retreat, Fang said.He thought that if he could not break the deadlock, everyone would be even more embarrassed.The Xiu family is only twenty-eight years old, and what they think is also the thoughts of young people.

Sancheng looked at Jing Sheng silently.Kagekatsu Uesugi is in his late forties, two years younger than Terumoto Mori, and he ranks behind Terumoto among the five elders. "The matter has come to this, we must not sit idly by." Jing Sheng seemed to say it deliberately to Yixuan. "My lord has learned a lesson." Yixuan leaned forward and echoed, "At present, the most important thing is to protect Mr. Jibu." "Yes. The rumors are rampant, and Kato and the others will definitely not let it go." "What should we do?" "I think it's better to seek the understanding of the inner government first, and let the inner government come out to put pressure on Kato and others. In this way, there may be room for maneuver. Except for the inner government, no one in the world can quell this chaos." Jing Sheng suggested.

"I think so too. Once things get serious, it's not easy for the inner government to say anything. Why don't I accompany Lord Zhibu to Fushimi to take refuge tonight, what do you think?" Yixuan looked at Sancheng. "This can be regarded as a countermeasure." Jing Sheng said. "As long as Mr. Jibu is not in Osaka, the chaos will temporarily subside. Then, Mr. Uesugi, Mr. Ukita, and Mr. Mori will jointly come forward and ask the inner government to mediate. In this way..." The fire of contempt and anger suddenly ignited in Sancheng's heart.Satake Yoshinobu was indeed worried about him, for this kindness, Sancheng was very grateful.But it is not difficult to find that Yoshinobu seems to have pinned all his hopes on Ieyasu, hoping that Ieyasu will come forward to calm the situation.If things are as Axiu said, either submit to Ieyasu, or put your family's life at risk, and fight to the death with Ieyasu... If you don't make a decision, 30% will be ridiculed by the world forever.

"Jibu-sama, come to Fushimi with me tonight, what do you think?" Yoshinobu said. Sancheng frowned and said with a smile: "Although everyone has their own ambitions, these words always sound like putting the cart before the horse." "Put the cart before the horse?" "Why does everything have to be decided by the inner government? The inner government has been secretly inciting everyone in Kato to get rid of the pillar of the Toyotomi family. Why should I ask such a person to mediate?" "So, Master Zhibu doesn't want to go to Fushimi?" Without waiting for Sancheng's answer, Jing Sheng interjected, "Master Zhibu is right. But in the face of the enemy, the only way to guarantee it is to go to Fushimi to take refuge first." Safety."

"Your statement makes Sancheng deeply regretful." Sancheng said impassionedly, "It's a different matter in a chaotic world where people are murdered like hemp. If it is unified today, why should I be afraid of those thugs who are lawless, form cliques, and plot evil?" "That's the reason. However, if the Zhibu really fights those thugs desperately, if there is something good or bad, wouldn't it be a small loss? Therefore, first go to Fushimi to avoid it." "I know that my lord is for Sancheng, but how can I run away in fear, after all, it is also one of the five obediences!" Sancheng deliberately refused to give up an inch-if he panicked and asked Jiakang for help, he would leave a legacy that would never be erased for the rest of his life. shame.

"The government will not leave Osaka City no matter what?" Jing Sheng said. "I didn't say that I would never leave Osaka. What I mean is, if necessary, I will fight with those thugs. If I don't come forward now, how will I see the world in the future?" "Then what are you going to do?" "Thirty percent has already figured it out. My territory is in Omi, so I will try to go back. Of course, it is not difficult to stop by Fushimi on the way back to Omi..." Satake Yoshinobu was a little dazed after hearing what Sancheng said, "Excuse me for interrupting first. Since Jibu-sama thinks so, it will be easy to handle. In short, first rush to Fushimi, and then to the mansion of the inner government in Mukoshima Temporary avoidance. Wasn’t it the same before, and they didn’t dare to do anything because Mr. Zhibu has been staying in the Da Nayan Mansion.”

"Lord Satake, you should be more careful with what you say. I didn't come to the Dainagon mansion because I was afraid of those thugs. I guarded it every day for the future of Toyotomi and worried about Dainagon's illness. I didn't expect you to think so, Really disappointing!" "Excuse me!" Yixuan apologized bluntly, fearing that the arguments would become more urgent, "Then please leave quickly. I have already prepared the boat..." "Wait." Sancheng turned to Jing Sheng, "If Master Uesugi agrees, Sancheng has no choice but to go to the inner mansion first. Of course, I am not going to seek refuge, nor to ask for help. The inner mansion is inciting mobs to riot. The mastermind, I am going to reprimand... do you have any objections?"

Jing Sheng kept his face sullen and said nothing. "Isn't it? Knowing that the inner government is the mastermind of the thugs, but still going to take refuge with him, wouldn't you be a 'poor bird' in the eyes of the world? Sancheng is not a fool who doesn't even understand this. I want to go upright and ask, In the name of the chief representative of the three elders and the fifth, go to him and ask him to order the seven generals to stop the riots... Huh, I am not a poor bird with nowhere to escape, but a raptor that goes forward bravely. What do you think, Mr. Uesugi ?”

Jing Sheng didn't even look at 30%, and said, "Okay. In short, avoid riots first." When it comes to the front, can San Guoguo treat Ieyasu with such an attitude?Jing Sheng was deeply suspicious. Sancheng took a look at Yoshinobu Satake before standing up calmly, "I repeat, Sancheng did not avoid those thugs because he was afraid of those thugs. I hope you all make it clear." After speaking, he turned to Xiujia to seek approval. As expected of Shaosuke Jibu!Xiujia looked up at Sancheng with emotion, as a young man, how could he notice Sancheng's distress? Yoshinobu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Then, I will leave it to Yoshinobu to send Master Jibu to Fushimi. Master Uesugi and Master Zikita, let's take our leave first." After speaking, he bowed respectfully, stand up.

Coming out of the gate, the sky has been covered by thick clouds, without a single star, and a warm breeze blows over. "It's the south wind. I'm lucky, it just goes downwind." Yixuan murmured to himself as he ran towards the river. Thirty percent did not answer. The bird of prey that shows great ambitions in front of everyone is actually a poor bird with nowhere to escape, and will eventually hide under Ieyasu's wings... Sancheng is very embarrassed, and has nowhere to see him except Fushimi.Because of this, his mood is not easy. "All the boatmen are confidantes, please rest assured." Yixuan stood on the shore and waved to a boat with a weight of about thirty stone floating on the dark water. to the shore.

"Is there anything unusual on the river?" "My lord, everything is normal." "That's good. We have important guests today, so we must be more careful when sailing." "Obey!" The warrior at the bow of the boat responded, and Yixuan briefly explained a few words before urging Sancheng to get on the boat.Sancheng silently waited for the boatman to put the pedals into the boat, and sat cross-legged under the felt-covered mast. The boat left the river bank, and the sound of the oars paddling gently came from the ear.Sancheng was stiff all over: he had never been so frightened in his whole life of adventures.The person he hated the most, with a fat body and the smell of salamanders all over his body, now he has to rely on his protection... Will Jiayasu's retainers allow him to meet Jiayasu?Are there assassins facing each other with swords?Or if he met Ieyasu, he would also be murdered when he returned? "Master Jibu, are you cold?" Hearing Yoshinobu's question, Sancheng realized that he seemed to have a fever and his whole body was drenched in sweat. "It's not cold. It's just that the wind is a little hot, and I'm sweating." "Master Zhibu, I still think it's best not to take the initiative to provoke the inner government, there is no need for that." Thirty percent remained silent. Satake Yoshinobu also resented Ieyasu because he was adjacent to Ieyasu's territory.This is very similar to the feud between Higo's Kato and Konishi.Neighbors are powerful and will be against themselves.But once this dissatisfaction is too explicit, it will wake up the sleeping lion and eventually shoot himself in the foot.Therefore, the friendship between Yixuan and Sancheng naturally has its limits.All he wanted was to properly contain Ieyasu through Sancheng, and Sancheng also temporarily regarded Yoshinobu as an ally.Of course, once the two sides launch a decisive battle, this relationship will naturally change, but Yixuan has not yet seen 30% of his determination. First, send Zhibu Shaofu to Ieyasu. If Ieyasu blames Yoshinobu for his lack of thoughtfulness, he will answer like this: "The inner government is poor. If you leave Zhibu in Osaka, it is very likely to cause chaos, so I deliberately sent him to the office. Please come to your mansion. Of course, everything will be handled by the inner court." In this way, maybe Yoshinobu will become the hero who personally arrested Sancheng and handed him over to Ieyasu. It was already dawn on the second day when the ship entered Fushimi Mukoshima.To be precise, it was the fourth morning of the fourth month of leap in March in the fourth year of Qingchang.Yoshinobu got off the boat first, and told Honda Sado Shouzheng the news of Sancheng's arrival.Exactly what Yixuan said, 30% had no way of knowing.All he knew was that Yoshinobu would never say that he came to reprimand Ieyasu. Knowing that Sancheng had arrived, the atmosphere in Tokugawa Mansion suddenly became tense. "It seems that Zhibu was scared and confused, and even took the initiative to deliver it to the door." "What a moth to a flame." "You don't know how to be ashamed, but you have the cheek to come here?" This kind of dialogue can be heard everywhere in the mansion, and it was already expected by 30% of the people. Yoshinobu Satake and Masanobu Honda appeared at the pier together, and Mitsunari stepped off the boat with his head held high. "So it's Jibu-sama. I didn't expect it. Please hurry up." Honda Masanobu, who is four years older than Ieyasu and over 60 years old, had an inscrutable smile on his face. Among them, it is secretly shocking.But 30% had already expected it. "I have a secret matter to be interviewed by the Inner Palace, please report it to your lord." "My lord is receiving guests now, please rest in the guest room first, Mr. Jibu." Looking back, Masanobu dismissed Satake Yoshinobu with a single sentence, "You have come from a long way, you have worked hard. Please go back." After that, he led the way for Sancheng, and said with a fake smile: "Mukai Island's mansion really deserves to be the grand master's house. Master Ge has chosen a lot of locations, it is really a good fortress." Honda Sadomori is known as Tokugawa's think tank. He traveled around the world when he was young. His wisdom is by no means inferior to Akechi Mitsuhide who has a clear understanding of life and affairs. He is even highly regarded among merchants in Sakai Port.These 30% are very clear.Is this Ieyasu's idea, or Sado's own idea?Thirty percent were puzzled.He wanted to get a rough idea of ​​Ieyasu's thoughts through Sado's reaction. After Sado brought Misunari to a guest room—this guest room was still built by the Taiko—he said solemnly: "This is really a sudden disaster. It seems that it is better to deal with the complaints of Kato and others first." accuse?Sancheng was taken aback, it seemed that the matter had been noticed, but who told the secret?He couldn't help asking: "My lord just said that the inner palace is receiving guests, who is the distinguished guest?" "Mr. Shimadzu Tadatoge. I heard that Duke Zhongheng punished Yijiin Zhongdong, and he was severely reprimanded by the lord of the government. Presumably the lord of the government has not forgotten. Duke Zhongheng was very surprised, so he retreated to Mount Kaohsiung to wait for the crime. It seems that Zhongheng The Duke also realized his fault. Although Yijiyuan Zhongdong was only a retainer of Duke Zhongheng, he was also a general of the Taige after all. It is really unreasonable to kill him on the spur of the moment. Since Duke Zhongheng retreated to Mount Kaohsiung to be punished, it does not mean that he Have you realized that the previous handling was inappropriate? Therefore, the Neifu discussed with Maeda Zentokuin Genyi and decided to deal with it lightly, and now he has been summoned back from Mount Kaohsiung. He is now thanking the Neifu.” Sancheng frowned, unexpectedly, Ieyasu was still winning over people's hearts.The Shimadzu family was originally an ally of 30%, so they might fall to Ieyasu. "I'd like to ask: Three points have clearly identified and reprimanded Shimadzu Tadahiro for his crimes. How could the inner court recall him based on his own opinion? Of course, Mr. Honda must not be very clear about these matters. I will ask him in person. Inner Palace." "Oh?" Sado said nonchalantly, "Leaving aside these words for now, the Seven Generals have followed Lord Jibu out of Osaka Castle. Does Jibu not know?" "Already left Osaka City?" "Exactly. It seems that they have already had a premonition that this is the only place where Lord Jibu can hide." Sado said calmly, and leaned forward, "I also asked my Lord about this matter just now. It seems to be very troublesome, Mr. Jibu. It is estimated that they will be chasing here with murderous intent soon." Upon hearing this, Sancheng's expression changed drastically.Although he had expected that they would definitely come, he did not expect to act so swiftly, and they chased after him before he even saw Ieyasu. "Master Jibu, these words may be beyond my duty, sir, just take it as an old man's worry. Shooting the first bird, my lord seems to have not considered properly in this regard." "..." "What should my lord do? If you protect Mr. Jibu, he will have seven warriors!" Sado shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless expression. This old fox!Sancheng was furious immediately, but he didn't make a sound.Sado has already treated him like this, so it is self-evident how Ieyasu will treat him. "The facts of the world are unpredictable... The seven generals have long known that the Zhibu and my lord are at odds, so they must be overjoyed." "Hmm." Sancheng replied somehow.What Sado said was so true, they must have thought that Sancheng was so frightened and confused that he sent it to the tiger himself.They must have come to laugh at him.From this point of view, there is indeed a big gap between the facts and 30%'s expectations, and the situation is already very serious.Apart from persuading Ieyasu to negotiate with Seven Generals, there seems to be no other way.But in this way, 30% of the fate was completely handed over to Ieyasu.Can Ieyasu really persuade the Seven Generals with his clever tongue?Once you can't be persuaded, handing yourself over to the hands of the seven generals is tantamount to the mouth of a sheep. "Master Zhibu, this is the end of the matter, it's best not to mention the Shimadzu's matter with my lord. Keep the green hills, don't worry about running out of firewood, and save your life. Even if a poor bird flies into the hunter's arms, the hunter can't bear it." Killing intent. The most important thing right now is to ask my lord to help you..." "shut up!" "What did your lord say?" "Master Sado, what you call a poor bird actually means 30%?" "Oh, this is something that everyone knows, why are you so fussy about it?" "Hmph! Rude! This time, Sancheng came here to discuss with the inner government how to punish the seven generals..." "Your Excellency is too polite." Honda Sado said still indifferently, "Since this is the case, there is no need for Mr. Jibu to come here on purpose. The matter happened in Osaka, and His Excellency can deal with it as he pleases in Osaka. There is no need to discuss it with my Sir. I think my adults will have no objection to this." Sancheng was speechless for a moment.In fact, when he got angry with Sado, he was already defeated... He knew this very well, but there was nothing he could do about it. "Then, when the seventh day comes, I'll bring them here, and you can negotiate here." Sancheng was stunned.At first he felt dry and hot all over his body, and then he felt as if he had been poured cold water, filled with remorse. "Wait, please wait a moment, Sado-sama." "What's your order, Master Jibu?" "It's all because of Sancheng's slip of the tongue. Actually, I don't want to meet General Qi here." "Then, do you still ask my lord? In fact, even if you ask my lord, it's hard for me to predict whether Mr. Jibu can survive this crisis safely... Your lord has caused such a big trouble, alas!" San Cheng bit his lip and closed his eyes.Just now he wished he could grab Sado and tear him to pieces, but now, Sado in front of him seemed to have turned into a boulder invulnerable.He understood that Sado was teasing him, but should he go up and fight with his life, or swallow his anger for the time being? But Sancheng held back his anger for a while: he finally came here, why did he have to make trouble with the Tokugawa family's retainers?The anger is beyond restraint, showing off the bravery of a man will only make the world ridicule... Patience is required!What is needed now is patience!Even if you have to work hard, the opponent should be Tokugawa Ieyasu.Only then would Ishida Mitsunari's death make sense. After making up his mind, Sancheng bowed to Sado, "Your Excellency is reasonable, but it seems that Sancheng didn't think carefully. I didn't expect the Seventh General to come after him so quickly." "Adult figured it out?" "Yes, the most urgent thing is to evacuate first. What do you think, Sado-sama?" "That's right. I don't know if the old man can escape... Anyway, let's discuss it with my lord first. Now that my lord has figured it out, let's go to my lord's room first, maybe the guests have gone." Sado said with a face There was still no expression on his face, he gave Sancheng a slight salute, and then left. Thirty percent seemed to realize that the so-called Shimadzu guests were purely fictional.Sado's coming here is probably because Dai Ieyasu came to inquire about Sancheng's true intentions, if he was a little sloppy just now, he might have already become a prisoner.Sancheng hastily wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, if he met Ieyasu with this face and expression, Ieyasu would see through his thoughts at a glance. For a long time, Sado still did not come back.Ieyasu is probably planning repeatedly with his counselors on how to deal with him.Thinking of this, a dizzying sense of humiliation swept over Sancheng's body... When Sado's footsteps sounded in the corridor again, Sancheng's eyes suddenly lit up.The seven generals followed closely behind and came to Fushimi. This can only show that if he had stayed in Osaka peacefully, he would have died long ago.From this point of view, it is considered a blessing in misfortune that he managed to escape the murder skillfully. "Master Jibu, I kept you waiting for a long time. My lord will come to meet you immediately." Honda Sado said softly, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "The Seventh General has already arrived. Lord Ii has come to meet you at the pier. It seems that the negotiation is quite tricky." This seems to be worried about Sancheng's safety from the bottom of my heart, and it also seems to be euphemistic coercion. Sancheng walked up the corridor behind Sado, thinking to himself, now that he has reached this point, he must make up his mind to deal with Ieyasu.Even so, his legs were still shaking, not knowing what Ieyasu would do to him. "After all, I ran to ask for help obediently." If such words really came from Jiayasu's mouth, would he be able to bear it?Maybe the other party will deliberately provoke Sancheng, and then use this as an excuse to hand him over to the Seventh General. When the time comes—how can there be "the time"? "I've brought Master Zhibu here." He suddenly heard the right way. He had reached the end of the corridor, and when he opened the window, his eyes suddenly brightened.By the spring water in the courtyard, calamus bloomed purple flowers early, and the room was bright and majestic.The arrangement of spring stones looks familiar, and the room seems to be newly built by Ieyasu, and the woody fragrance is wafting from the nostrils. "I'm sorry, but please leave your saber to me for safekeeping." When entering the door, Torii Shintaro said respectfully. A trace of panic appeared on Sancheng's face, and his knees shook violently again.Of course, this cannot escape Ieyasu's eyes. "Master Jibu, this way please." After entering, Sancheng was taken aback.Both sides of the entrance are full of samurai, and Ieyasu is also surrounded by strong bodyguards. It is really heavily guarded and impeccable. "The chief accountant has come to ask for the Lord Zhibu. This arrangement is to prevent them from being violent." Ieyasu said indifferently. "Thank you Neifu." Sancheng said this, but he was very disdainful in his heart: What a beautiful lie, isn't it all used to scare himself? "I've heard what Sado said about the situation. It's really troublesome. But since Ieyasu has come to join Ieyasu, how can Ieyasu obediently hand you over to someone else, Jibu just rest assured." Thirty percent doubted his ears.Just now he was nervous all over, worried that Ieyasu would try his best to insult him.He tremblingly said: "So, this... the inner government is willing to take in 30%?" "If you talk about taking them in, it's too far-fetched. They are all Taige survivors. How can they start a dispute by taking advantage of Da Nayan's death? Ieyasu will definitely reprimand the seven of them." Due to excessive tension, 31% didn't know how to deal with it.Ieyasu came straight to the point, concise and clear, and well-organized...but we must not take it lightly, how could Ieyasu let things pass so easily?Maybe he wanted to sell someone a favor first.This is his best trick. At this moment, Ii Naomasa hurried in. "My lord, the Seventh General will meet and negotiate with you no matter what." Sancheng thought that this was also threatening him, so he held his breath and waited for Ieyasu's reaction. Ieyasu pondered for a moment, and said: "You are not a child anymore, you should have known it long ago, how could Tokugawa Ieyasu allow a private fight that caused chaos in the world! You let them wait for my ruling." "These words have been said below, but they are all emotional and filled with righteous indignation..." "Hmph! How can we allow them to act recklessly!" Ieyasu's voice was almost yelling, "If it's someone else, it's a different matter, but the one who came today is Mr. Jibu. If they let them be lawless, how will Tokugawa Ieyasu see the world?" Common people! Let them go back." Sancheng couldn't help laughing.Hearing Ieyasu's scolding, Naomasa Ii got up and left with a displeased face. Was this a well-choreographed play from the very beginning?Just when Sancheng was thinking of this, Jiakang turned to him and said, "Please rest assured. If they continue to make things difficult, Jiakang will go out and drink them away in person." He gently pulled Fuji over, and said, "The Seventh General's riot must not end like this. The aftermath The Ministry of governance must have an idea." "what?" "Since the relationship between the two parties has deteriorated to this point, there will be no reconciliation in a short time. Just leave everything to Ieyasu... But how to deal with it in the future, Ieyasu wants to hear your opinion." Sancheng became flustered suddenly, but Ieyasu came unexpectedly.Yes, things have developed to this point, and it is not enough to just quell the riots in front of us. "Even if," Ieyasu said again, "even if the seven people are at fault, they are all military generals who have followed Taige since childhood. We can't kill them all, and we can't let them commit seppuku. Once we do that, the world will be in chaos. Therefore , how to deal with it in the future must be carefully considered.” Sancheng raised his eyes and glanced at Sado Honda who was sitting beside him.Sado was squinting his eyes, looking at Misunari and Ieyasu in turn.Sancheng had no choice but to say: "Regarding this matter, if the inner government comes forward and reprimands them severely with Master Mao Li, Master Ukita, and Master Uesugi, I think they may restrain themselves." "Hmm. But if this is the case, can Lord Jibu return to Osaka alone and serve his duties with peace of mind?" "This……" "Anyway, the Seventh General is already on fire...Once people get angry, they often lose their minds and are desperate. Presumably, there is something wrong with the administration." At the beginning, Ieyasu was organized and gentle, but it turned out to be a trap for people to fall into... Thirty percent couldn't help but regret it. "So, does the inner government have a better countermeasure?" Sancheng asked, staring at Ieyasu.Ieyasu also stared at him, without saying a word for a long time, it was clearly the eagle's eyes playing with its prey, which terrified him.Perhaps Ieyasu was looking at him contemptuously: You are a fool for recklessly fleeing into my house!Or want to set some harsh conditions to see how he reacts. "Since Jibu has no idea, Ieyasu has no choice but to say what he thinks." "Thirty percent are all ears." "Jibu, the best way for you to avoid the seven people right now and keep both parties safe from harm, according to Ieyasu, you have to immediately withdraw to Sawayama Castle." "Withdraw to the territory?" Ieyasu nodded, still staring at Sancheng, "The main reason why General Qi resents you is that you have all Taiko's love in one body." "But it's not 30%'s fault." "Yes. This is definitely not your fault alone. But in life, when you get ahead in the world, you will be jealous. You rely on the Taige's favor, you are arrogant, you do your own way, and your attitude towards the seven generals is a bit harsh... From this, it has accumulated over time, and finally brewed. Today's disaster. The only person who can clear up the misunderstanding—Master Taiko, is no longer alive. I see, Yui Jibu is temporarily retiring, and he will go back to Zuohe Mountain for a while, and wait for the time for reconciliation. What do you think? " Ieyasu's words were like five thunderbolts, and Sancheng was stunned immediately.It's not that he didn't expect such an ending at all, but he didn't expect that Ieyasu would force him in this way here and now, he really is a traitor! Sancheng thought: It is incompatible with Tokugawa!But he said resentfully: "So, Sancheng is already a useless person, and is no longer suitable for practicing?" "No. I mean, if things go on like this, no matter whether the administration is in Fushimi or Osaka, the danger will never be eliminated, and the government affairs will not be able to be handled normally. Therefore, it is better to retire temporarily and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback." Sancheng quietly glanced at the knife that was taken away.If he hadn't been confiscated, he would have drawn out his knife without hesitation and slashed and killed this old thief who took advantage of the fire! Maeda Toshiie is gone, if Sancheng is driven away again, the whole world will fall into Ieyasu's hands.Those fools who followed Taiko since childhood finally drove Sancheng into the trap carefully designed by Ieyasu... Thinking of this, Ieyasu's fat head suddenly became the head of a devil.Sancheng really wanted to pounce on him crazily, tear him apart, and spit at him wildly. "But if you have a better idea, forget it. You don't need to be polite in the humble house, you might as well speak up." Sancheng's expression clearly showed anger and murderous intent.Ieyasu couldn't have been unaware, but he didn't try to appease him. "Jibu, if people don't know how to advance and retreat, they will inevitably stumble. Patience is the most important thing in life. You are standing at a fork in your life. I hope you can think calmly. Ieyasu has already been forced to experience the difficulties you are facing. Thousands of times. That's why I persuaded you today." Thirty percent trembled all over, and his blood flowed backwards.If he didn't still have a sliver of reason, he would definitely throw his life at Jiayasu.But he suppressed his anger and said: "It seems that this is the only way to go." Ieyasu still stared straight at Sancheng, and said: "Of course, if you return to Mount Zuohe, Ieyasu can swear that he will keep you safe on the way and will never let the seven generals do anything. I can send people to escort you all the way to your leader. In short, first Take a break, it's better to decide earlier. Sado, take Jibu to another room to rest." "Yes! Please, Jibu-sama." Sancheng had no choice but to bow his head and salute, "Thirty percent will always remember the deep love and friendship in the inner court. The matter has come to this point, thirty percent respect is worse than obedience..." wait and see!Let's wait and see!Don't think that I will give in easily!Thirty percent hated it.He lowered his head, tears dripping down like broken beads. Under Honda Sado's urging, Sancheng just got up and left.Ieyasu sighed.Although he was also very anxious, he really didn't want to reprimand Sancheng any more. Not long after, Sado Honda came back, "I brought Jibu to Dongfang An." The Dongfang An was the tea house built by Yasushi Reiko and himself. "Are there guards?" "Sent. If you don't send someone to guard, I'm afraid he will be killed in the mansion." "Oh. It seems that he is finally willing to withdraw to Mount Sawa. I am worried about the others, so let Xiuyasu and Yoshiharu Horio escort him to Mount Sawa." Sado nodded, then asked with a smile: "Does your lord still think that he is a person who can show your sincerity?" "Bastard!" Ieyasu scolded loudly, as if he wanted to spit out the unhappiness he had suppressed for a long time. "How can these two things be confused? As the saying goes: A poor bird is in his arms, but a hunter does not kill it. Tokugawa Ieyasu wants to rescue even the world. Can't save Ishida Mitsunari? How can you win the trust of the world in the future with a weapon like yours? You bastard!"
