Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty-Seven

Everyone called Yodoya Chang'an the merchant Guanbai, and praised him for being a mere merchant, but he was as capable as Hideyoshi.But in terms of courage, perhaps the Shimai Clan of Hakata is still better than Yodoya.Yodoya had previously cooperated with the Yugu family. In addition to business dealings, he also extended his hands to mine mining, smelting, shipbuilding, etc., and became a wealthy businessman, but his life was very simple.He is not born to become such a great weapon, but has been tempered for a long time.Shoan believes that if the Yodoya is compared to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the clan can be regarded as Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The clan left the other garden of Jiaoan, took only three servants with them, and walked towards the boat mooring of Yamato Bridge. His boat was moored on the shore of Sakai Port, and he took Yodoya's boat to Osaka.Both sides of the river bank are full of flowering reeds, and wild ducks shuttle among them.For the arrival of the clan, the thirty stone boats of the Yodoya were covered with red carpets, and curtains were drawn on the boats.As soon as he sat in, he pulled up the curtain and let him watch the autumn scenery around him carefully.The word "Dian" is printed in bright red on the ship, and more than forty sailors are employed to guard it.

After thinking about it carefully, the clan felt that the existence of merchants was really inconceivable, so they couldn't help but smile.Let the military generals go to war, and the merchants make money. One side has to support many warriors, while the other side has to accumulate money because of inexhaustible spending.He just didn't want Hideyoshi to be dissatisfied with this disproportionate situation, so he persuaded him to devote himself to trade and mine mining, but instead it triggered the conquest of the dynasty.There are too many gold mines excavated in various places.Maybe it's better to let Hideyoshi feel a little unsatisfactory, and the general should not be too rich.Let him be half-starved and half-fed, but he will lash out like a jackal... This is really difficult to deal with.Yodoya is also facing difficulties, because Hideyoshi is going to send a large army to North Korea to collect food from him.As a result, he will be unable to make ends meet, which is really troublesome.Military generals are not good at calculation, even if they can calculate their own salary, they can't estimate the wealth of the giant merchant, so the lion will inevitably open his mouth... As the clan thought, they had arrived at the ferry, and there was an unexpected person waiting for him.

"Ah, Mr. Jibu Shaosuke." The clan took a step back, and Ishida Mitsunari, who had been familiar with him since he built the castle in Hakata, was walking towards him across the transitional board. "Mr. Zongshi, you have worked hard." "Don't dare, this is also for Guan Bai." "Before Mr. sees Guan Bai, I have something to ask." The clan pretended not to know: "Hey! What's the matter? Mr. Feng Xing, who is so high above you, wants to be entrusted to you." Sancheng said to the servants guarding the corner of the boat: "Go ashore and take a walk, I have something to say to the old man."

The servants saluted solemnly.The clan nodded and signaled them to get off the boat, saying: "The autumn scenery on the river bank is really charming!" "That's right!" Sancheng was a little fat, and looked even more stylish than when he was in Bodo.He took the knife with a smile on his face, and slowly sat diagonally opposite the clan. "The only person I can ask you now is Mr." "Do you want to ask the old man?" "My lord has lost my precious young master." "I will know." "He was in a state of great grief...but the grief made him change his mind."

"What ambition?" "Going to conquer the Ming Dynasty! At first I thought it was a joke, but he is serious, how could it be a joke? This is a major event in his life!" "So what?" The clan knew exactly what Sancheng wanted to say, but still pretended to be stupid. "We must stop him. The world is set at the beginning, and the people are exhausted. If there is another war, the country will be worried." "Oh! This is really a big event. Then, Mr. Feng Xing, are you against it?" "Mr. also knows Guan Bai's temper. He won't listen to my advice, so I hope you can tell him: You have seen all parts of North Korea this time. If you don't give up sending troops, your future will be bleak."

The clan smiled sarcastically, shook his hands vigorously, and said: "I'm sorry, Guan Bai doesn't even listen to Master Feng Xing's advice, let alone old man? I hope that this matter will be done by Master Feng Xing." "Mr. Shimai! It seems that you are unwilling to take on this important trust?" "Master Zhibu," the clan lowered his voice, raised his eyes and said, "Is this the idea of ​​Lord Zhibu alone, or did Lord Xiaoxi order the old man to do this?" "If Lord Xiaoxi agrees with me, so what?" "Oh... that's hard to accept."

"what?" "The clan has told Mr. Xiaoxi how to deal with the aftermath. The Shimai clan was directly ordered by Guan Bai to go and check carefully, and will not accept instructions from others." After the clan finished speaking firmly, he laughed again. There was strong hatred in Sancheng's eyes, "Oh? Then, sir, did not listen to Sancheng's request? Sancheng didn't instruct sir, but begged in a low voice." "If I treat this kind of entrustment as an instruction, what about my lord?" The clan did not admit defeat, he said in a teasing tone.

A biting cold wind blows towards the two of them from the side of the river. "Hehe," Sancheng said with a pale face, "If I tell you, even if you don't listen, I'll have my own way... It would be like scoundrels arguing with each other. Therefore, Ishida Sancheng retreated silently. There is no other way." "Master Zhibu," the clan clan chuckled, "You and Lord Xiaoxi are just minding your own affairs!" "Ok?" "If the adults speak out their opinions, Guan Bai will be furious, and you will be cut into your belly, or you will be killed. Therefore, you let the clan go to remonstrate. Hey, the clan angered Guan Bai, but it is also a matter of life. If As a close minister, if you are so diligent and dedicated to the public, it is so easy to be a warrior!"

Sancheng's face turned even paler, he didn't expect the clan to say that, let alone tell the truth that he was entrusted by Chief Xiaoxi, and said: "Then, I withdraw my request and leave now." "Master Xiaoxi, if you want to gamble, you should be a pioneer... If you don't have this kind of determination, how dare you persuade Lord Guan Bai?" "Master Xiaoxi is the vanguard?" "Master Zhibu, there is no other way. Guan Bai completely listened to what Master Xiaoxi and Zongyi Zhizhi said, and believed that North Korea would be willing to be the vanguard of our army, and wanted to lead the army to expedition to the Ming Dynasty. However, what the old man saw That's not the case. Please think carefully about what the result will be!"

Sancheng leaned out in surprise, and said in a low voice, "So, the master has already told Master Xiaoxi about this?" "Yes! You should know." "Then...if Mr. Xiaoxi really becomes a pioneer, will you accept my request?" The clan nodded and smiled: "Master Zhibu also thinks that Lord Xiaoxi should be sent as a striker to find out the situation... The clan is also a man, even if you don't specifically ask for it, I will spare my life to advise you." "Mr. Clan," Sancheng finally realized the true meaning of the clan, and suddenly put his hands down on his knees, "Mr. Xiaoxi swears to Sancheng..." "Haha, this old man knew that Master Feng Xing would say that." The clan clan laughed out loud. Sancheng kept thanking him again, and Fang disembarked angrily. The clan looked at his back, and thought: Warriors are so strange, they claim to live because of giri, but when the lord shows a flaw, they ignite private thoughts that are more cunning than merchants, not only do not follow giri, but also harm many unarmed people life. The boat glides gently across the water, moving forward.When we arrived at the Yodoya Bridge, it was almost Sishi.This place is already crowded with merchants with sedan chairs.Yodoya, who came out to greet the clan, only nodded slightly to him, and said, "Thanks for your hard work." They got into the sedan chair together and went directly to Daban City. Hideyoshi came to Osaka on purpose from Xinzhu Fushimi Castle, and was impatient to wait.On both sides of him are Ishida Mitsunari, whose clan just met at the ferry, Masuda Nagamori, Maeda Gengi, Oda Yuraku, Nagatsu Masaka, Otani Yoshitsugu, etc.Hideyoshi in the front stretched his legs a few times, under the purple turban, his eyes radiated a soft light. "Clan, I'm sorry! It's already tanned!" The clan is still tactful: "I heard that my lord has lost his beloved young master." "Don't mention it, clan. I finally forgot about it. Sit closer, sit closer." "The villain is terrified." "What's the situation in North Korea? Can you see it carefully?" "Yes. Under the order of the lord, the villain first landed in Busan, changed his clothes, went from Gyeongsang-do to Gangwon-do, and then entered Gyeonggi, along the Yellow River and Jeolla, all the way down." "Thank you! Then, have you seen the situation of the mountains, rivers and roads?" "Go back to my lord, look at it. This is a topographic map. On this map, there are details of military deployment, human customs, climate and products, etc. My lord, please spend the day." "Okay! Changsheng, bring it here." "Yes." Zengchu Changsheng took the picture and spread it out in front of Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi looked at it with a smile, "Or should the army land in Busan and then march into Gyeonggi?" "army?" "Oh, I haven't told you that Kato Kiyomasa has been sent to Kyushu by me." "Master Kato went to Kyushu?" "Yes. Go to Nagoya in Hizen to build a city, and I ordered him to delineate the boundary immediately. Based on this, the army has crossed to Busan one after another. Once we march, we can attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. On July 15th next year, I will command the world in the Ming capital. Thank you for your hard work, come and drink." Hideyoshi just kept talking, but the clan dissuaded him with a word: "My lord, don't do that!" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was awe-inspiring. "It can't be like this?" Hideyoshi doubted his ears and asked, "Why can't it be like this? By July 15 next year..." "Even if the king of Joseon fully supports it, the villain feels that he should not march lightly." The clan's tone was tough. "Zongshi, what you said is very strange." "No, the villain reported to the adults after a detailed investigation." "You said, even if the king of Joseon fully supports..." "Yes. However, this is just a hypothesis from the beginning to the end - because the king of Joseon will not lead the way." "You... What basis do you have? When the envoy of Qiuqiu came, I had clearly ordered it." "My lord, please forgive me." The clan took a deep breath, looked up at Hideyoshi, his eyes were shining like stars, "The villain learned that King Li has been close to the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and he will never betray the Ming Dynasty and become my ally. It's the villain's point of view." Hideyoshi smiled softly: "Okay! You are a merchant, so leave the war to me. King Li will definitely obey my orders." "No!" The clan shook his head, "As soon as your lord's army enters North Korea, King Li will immediately bring the Ming army into the country. Time!" "Clan! So, are you accusing me of being ill-considered?" "Don't dare. In my estimation, investing more than 80% of Japan's manpower and material resources may not be enough..." "So, you think it's impossible to go out?" "It is not suitable to go out at the moment." "Haha." Hideyoshi smiled, "Someone asked you to say that, right?" "No, the villain is just telling the truth." "Do you think there is something wrong with Toyotomi Hideyoshi's plan?" "This is not what a wise lord should say. The lord must change his mind... The villain thinks that the lord should listen to the report of the villain carefully before deciding whether to go out or not. However, the lord has already taken action before the villain returns. Said that the villain is blaming the adults." "Shut up!" Hideyoshi patted his hand, angry, "Does Toyotomi Hideyoshi want to obey your orders? I have already decided to go to war." The voice was thunderous. The Zongshi suddenly took a step forward, "These words are becoming more and more incomprehensible. No matter who makes a decision, the fact that the Zongshi sees cannot be changed because of it. If you deceive people with lies because your lord has made a decision, then the Zongshi After death, you will go to hell. It is the adults who make the decision, and it is the clan that tells the truth. The clan believes that the cost of this war is too high, and nine out of ten will end in failure. This is the opinion of the villain." "Chang... long... Changsheng!" Hideyoshi trembled all over, pointing to the knife in the hand of the attendant, "Pull this guy out to me and cut him off! Take his head as a blood sacrifice!" The clan didn't move at all.His eyes were extremely calm, he looked quietly at Xiu Yizhan who was burning with anger, and said: "I have said everything that needs to be said. Guan Bai will probably agree to Xiaoxi and Zong Yizhi's request to be pioneers. will decrease." "Changsheng, what are you hesitating for? Kill him!" "My lord, calm down!" Sancheng hastily knelt forward, "It's only natural for your lord to be angry, but why don't you think about Mr. Shimai's proposal..." "Shut up! I ordered him to visit North Korea's human geography, and he proposed to suspend the expedition. Rude! Humph! Kill!" "Please wait a moment." Sancheng said again, "My lord doesn't want to ask in person, so let me come down and ask him. Why Mr. Shimai said that, you should ask clearly first. Please calm down, lord." Masuda Changsheng also said: "As Ishida-sama said, if King Li has unruly intentions, we must have adequate countermeasures. Please calm down, my lord." "You breathe out through one nostril?" "Please calm down, my lord." "Okay! Then, I'll ask the clan again, everyone listen carefully." "Thank you, my lord." "Clan, do you think that King Li will conspire against others?" "The villain thinks that he will unite with the Ming army and point the blade at the army of the lord." "Therefore, even if my army lands, it will be difficult to move forward. Is this what you mean?" "The army doesn't go to the wilderness where there is no one. If we march on an unfamiliar land and are surrounded by heavy siege, it will be difficult to supply, and the navy of the Ming Dynasty will also cut off our backup..." "Shut up!" Hideyoshi yelled at the clan again. Seeing that the clan did not back down because of his anger, Hideyoshi knew that he had indeed made up his mind.Seeing that everyone was indifferent to the expedition plan, Hideyoshi couldn't help but burst into anger for a moment, like a crab digging a hole alone.He felt that everyone didn't understand his ambition, and he believed that going to war was a must.However, the clan clearly objected. In this way, instead of slowly persuading him, it is better to reprimand him and silence him first. The clan is silent, but will he become as stubborn as Rikyu?If he continues to reprimand him, he will be forced into a dilemma like Rikyu, and he will have to be severely punished at that time... Hideyoshi always regrets what happened to Rikyu. "Clan, let me tell you again: you are just a businessman, and I am an undefeated general." "The villain knows that, because of this, we must be more cautious..." "I told you not to point fingers at the government. You see that King Li is out of order, and it's up to Toyotomi Hideyoshi to figure out countermeasures, understand?" The clan breathed a sigh of relief, and drooped its shoulders weakly: "In this way, the villain has done his best." How Hideyoshi is so preposterous!When a person makes such a decision, he must bear a heavy burden. A smart person like Hideyoshi has forgotten to reflect on himself. "My lord, please forgive me," the clan said again, "The climate and customs in the north and south of North Korea are completely different from those in China. When winter comes and the river freezes, the supplies of the Ming Kingdom can be freely exported, but we have to endure the cold suffering." "I've already calculated this kind of thing!" Hideyoshi sneered, "Once Toyotomi Hideyoshi meets an enemy, he must turn him into a friend. Well, call Konishi Settsu and Zongyizhi. I want to confirm Their views are right, or the clan’s views are correct.” "Hey!" The clan gritted their teeth and sighed—why didn't Ishida Mitsunari not make an excuse to discuss with him at this time and let him leave?If Zong Yizhi replied ambiguously, his painstaking efforts were in vain. "Listen carefully, everyone. Both sides have their own opinions. We have to decide which side is right. During this period, the clan should be quiet." Hideyoshi said again. The clan secretly glanced at Sancheng.Sancheng was pale and sat upright. "Will my decision be wrong? Once I land, I can directly point to the capital of Ming Dynasty!" Hideyoshi was still full of pride. When Chief Xiaoxi and Zong Yizhi were called, the clan quietly closed their eyes and remained speechless.On the partition at the entrance of this hall, there are two lifelike tigers painted.Konishi's eloquence is outstanding, but Zongyizhi is likely to show his flaws under Hideyoshi's questioning.What's more, when he saw Hideyoshi angry, he might be incoherent in fright. "Lord Xiaoxi Shejin and Lord Zongzuima are here." Before Xuan Yifayin finished his sentence, Hideyoshi said: "President, you said that King Li would like to be a guide, but the clan said he would not lead the way for us. thing?" Hideyoshi didn't ask Yoshitomo directly, that's great!The clan couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "My lord, I didn't say he was willing, he just said: 'I will lead the way.'" "Didn't you say you're willing?" "Yes. My lord's prestige has also spread to the Daming Kingdom. Therefore, if it is an order from your lord, King Li has no choice but to follow it. This is my opinion." Hideyoshi was not happy.The meanings of being willing to lead the way and obeying orders are very different, and he couldn't remember what they said at the beginning, so he said: "So, the clan said that King Li would not lead the way, is it a lie?" "I can't say that other people's opinions are wrong, I can only say that I have a different opinion." "What did you say? If you have different opinions, there should be right and wrong. Isn't that right, Tsushima Shou?" "yes." "What do you think?" The clan looked up coldly, without saying a word. Yizhi said: "My... view is the same as Mr. Xiaoxi, but..." "But what? Why do you hesitate when you encounter this problem? Didn't you also say that Li Wang promised to lead the way?" "But... what does Shimai-san mean?" "He said: There is absolutely no such thing! King Li and Daming Kingdom have a very good friendship and get along very well, so he will point the blade at us." "This……" "What's wrong? Tell me clearly!" "My lord," Xiao Xixing said, "If Mr. Zongshi really said so, it's useless to argue here. It's better to find out the truth." "Hmph! Are you so unconfident in your claims?" "It's not a matter of self-confidence. This matter has something to do with the morale of the army. If you have different opinions, you can't ignore them." "So, if necessary, the clan can be killed as a blood sacrifice?" "This is really surprising. Mr. Clan risked his life and just returned from a foreign country... Therefore, now I can go there first with Master Tsushima to find out the truth." President Xiaoxi really deserved his eloquence, he answered calmly, as if this was his own opinion. If the other party is not Hideyoshi, President Konishi's words will definitely work on the spot.It's a pity that Hideyoshi was a little skeptical about the president's answer, because he had already ordered the clan to send envoys to North Korea four times to test whether the other party had any intention of surrendering. The first time was when Yoshitomo's father Yoshinori was still alive, and he sent his retainer Yuzuya Yasuhiro there.At that time, Yi Tiao said to Hideyoshi: "There is no need to go to conquer North Korea. I can persuade him to come and surrender with a good tongue, and let him be our guide to the Ming Dynasty." Hideyoshi believed his words, and it was a long time They didn't move for a while.He praised it as a good strategy, and specially took off the saber from his waist and gave it to Yi Tiao.However, there has been no news from North Korea since then. The second time I went to urge King Li to come to see Hideyoshi, but there was no news, so I had to send a third envoy.This time, he brought back envoy Huang Yungu and deputy envoy Jin Cheng.Now that I think about it carefully, the document that the envoy brought only congratulated Japan on the unification of Japan, and there was no words to guide the conquest of the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, both Yizhi and the president subtly persuaded: "King Li is very willing to be a guide. He didn't write this in the document, probably to prevent it from being leaked to the Ming Dynasty." Therefore, Hideyoshi strictly ordered: "Yizhi went in person, and made it clear that King Li should be the guide of the Ming army." So Yizhi went to Busan in person, and he should be accompanied by Liu Chuan Tiaoxin and monk Xuansu.But now the situation has become so ambiguous, Hideyoshi will not be suspicious. "President." Hideyoshi asked suspiciously, "How dare you deceive me?" "Don't dare." The president firmly denied it, "King Li did agree, didn't he, Mr. Ma Shou?" "Yes..." Yizhi felt guilty, trembling all over.Hideyoshi suddenly clapped his hands with a "bang": "Tsushima!" "exist." "I didn't ask you to say polite words to King Li! I told you to order him to be your guide!" "Yes Yes!" "He seems to be obedient, or ignores it, can't you, the messenger, see it?" "This is……" "Hesitate what?" "It looks like he obeys, but he doesn't seem to obey..." "Shut up! Hateful thing! President, did you teach him this?" "My lord ordered me to be surprised." "It's clearly written on your face. It's really unreasonable!" Once suspicious, Hideyoshi's mind turned extremely fast, "Do you think you can deceive me, President?" "My lord, I will never have such a crime that deserves death." "Don't talk about it!" Hideyoshi patted the support and leaned out, "Did you say that Toyotomi Hideyoshi was going to send troops for the fourth time on your mission, and once you send troops, your country will inevitably suffer from swords and soldiers, so King Li As a guide?" "No, this..." The president couldn't continue.All this is indeed what he taught. If there was no such accident as Tsurumong's death, the president thought that Hideyoshi would not be so angry, and the Zong family would not lose the profit of the transaction.However, if he continued, it would mean that he confessed to Yizhi, but now Yizhi was trembling miserably. "Damn it!" Hideyoshi was extremely angry, but he also felt that his speculation was clever, and he wanted to laugh, "Let me guess first, you didn't panic until the fourth mission, and told Li Wang the truth, is that so? " "..." "Because he lied three times in the first place, King Li didn't take it seriously this time. He thought that asking him to mediate with the Ming Dynasty might be empty talk, just to intimidate him." This time the clan was taken aback.The news he got was exactly in line with what Hideyoshi said, Guan Baizhi's eyesight is really terrifying!He sighed inwardly, but could not speak out.Now there is no other way but to wait and see the situation. "How, right, Tsushima?" "grown ups……" The president interrupted stubbornly again: "I also told Ma Shou that it was difficult for us to figure out what King Li was thinking, so we quickly withdrew from Busan." "Withdraw from Busan?" "Yes. After Li Wang knew about this, he was also very nervous. Therefore, the two of us will act as the vanguard. With the prestige of your lord, why should we be afraid?" The president said eloquently. "Wait!" The clan said.Hideyoshi will be even more furious if the governor is allowed to continue talking nonsense.At that time, it must be Zongyi Zhizhi who will do seppuku.In this way, the clan would feel miserable, because Yizhi's father had entrusted him to take care of his son. "My lord, it's the clan who said that." "You taught him?" Hideyoshi turned his gaze to the clan in surprise, and suddenly laughed, "Haha, clan, don't lie! How can Hideyoshi be deceived again?" "It's not a lie. The clan thought of Yi Tiao's friendship with this subordinate, and taught him to say that." "Yizhi, is this true?" "Yes, yes!" Yizhi looked at the clan as if asking for help, and then at the president. "Okay! Let me just listen. Toyotomi Hideyoshi can tell the truth from the fake. So, you told Yoshitomo not to order Li Wang to be the guide of Zhengming?" "yes." "Huh? You are so courageous!" "I don't want you to fight this reluctant battle, that's all." "Battle of reluctance? You bring up the government again!" "Hey! I thought that sooner or later the adults would find out that this was a forced fight, so I taught him to say that." "Clan! If what you said is true, no one can save your life, do you understand?" "Of course! The clan knows the destiny, and only hopes to die next time, so that it will be helpful to the adults." "You also said the same thing as Rikyu?" "I believe that your lord is still not clear about many things, so it is of no benefit to easily dispatch troops and expeditions overseas." "you!" "My lord, who do you think will sincerely approve of this expedition? Everyone is afraid of your majesty, and no one dares to speak out against it, but they don't think so in their hearts." Hideyoshi suddenly held his breath.If the clan is allowed to continue talking, things will get out of hand.He has already started preparing for the battle, not to mention, he has also sent Kiyomasa to build the city of Nagoya in Kyushu.If this plan is suspended right then, it will become the laughingstock of the world. Now that the arrow has left the string, how can it be abandoned halfway? The clan continued indifferently: "For such a big event, the most important thing is everyone's concerted efforts. If there is a foreign enemy invasion, everyone will desperately defend against the incoming enemy, and the gods will help. But this time we are going to fight... If everyone has different ideas Aspirations, will inevitably lead to discord. I hope to avoid war first, and deal with them..." "Hmph!" Hideyoshi unexpectedly said in a very steady voice, "Sancheng, drag this guy down, his crazy words seem to have finished." Sancheng hesitated for a moment, only to hear Hideyoshi laughing again: "The Shimai Clan is really a tough guy, he doesn't care about his life, he wants to teach Hideyoshi a lesson! Oh, put him in prison!" The clan glanced at Sancheng and Yizhi, stood up, as if urging Sancheng to take him down. After the clan and Sancheng left, there was a complete silence.There was a murderous look in the hall, and finally, Hideyoshi laughed loudly: "Haha, Settsu, do you want to kill the clan?" This question really made President Xiaoxi panic.In order to save the president and Yizhi, the clan told a big lie, which caused a catastrophe. "Can't kill!" The president hesitated for a while and replied. "Okay! I just want to hear this. I can't bear to see my retainers let the clan have mercy." "..." "Tsushima, are you deeply moved?" "Yes Yes!" "Okay! The two of you are here to intercede for the clan. If you speak badly, I won't spare you!" "My lord," the governor immediately fell to the ground, "in order to make up for the rudeness of the Shimai Clan, please use the two of us as the vanguard... In order to repay your lord's great favor, I wish to go to North Korea." "Don't you tell me to stop attacking like the clan?" "Yes. Because the sword is out of its sheath." "Even if King Li falls to the Ming Dynasty, are you not afraid of being killed?" "If you don't do this, you will be sorry to your lord, and you will also be sorry to Mr. Clan." "Haha...Okay! Wait for Sancheng to come back and see what he says." Hideyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.He also didn't want to kill the clan.Although he was angry, he respected the clan. Not long after, Sancheng came back in a panic and said, "I would like to ask my lord..." "A dog of a feather! Do you want to intercede for the clan?" "Yes. What he said is certainly hateful, but please forgive him for his painstaking efforts." "He asked you to intercede for him?" "No, no." "I know he is not this kind of person. Zhibu, what did you say to the clan?" "Thirty percent dare not." "Haha. That guy who doesn't know what to do is a man... Let him go out today. Tell him to stop talking nonsense and affect morale." Hideyoshi said, stood up abruptly, and walked to the corridor leading to the inner court. Everyone knew how furious Hideyoshi was.Chang Sheng, Xuan Yi and Ji Ji all held their breaths and watched the changes of the situation quietly.It seems that they all saw through the painstaking efforts of the clan to protect Chief Xiaonishi and Zong Yizhi. "Fortunately, I have a life left!" Xuan Yi muttered, "In front of Master Guan Bai, there is only one Shimai Clan who dares to speak like that." "That's right!" Sancheng echoed, "It's a pity to let Shimai be a businessman. Master Xiaoxi is scared to death." Chief Shuixi glanced at Sancheng and remained silent.Thirty percent is sharply satirizing the fact that his lie was exposed. "In this way, it is inevitable to attack the Ming Dynasty, and the painstaking efforts of the Shimai clan to persuade them at the end have also been suppressed by the adults." Sancheng muttered like self-deprecating, but Konishi and Zongyizhi felt that this was blaming them. "Master Jibu!" The governor wiped the sweat from his forehead with his cuff, "Please report my determination to your lord again." "You two are pioneers?" "Yes, Mr. Zongyizhi was indeed negligent in his negotiations, and we must jointly shoulder this responsibility." Sancheng really didn't want to make sarcastic remarks this time.His determination can be seen from the president's words. "Master Xiaoxi, do you have a better plan?" "My lord means..." "If you want to be a pioneer, you don't have to wait for an order. How about going to North Korea first and taking off King Li's head in one fell swoop? In this way, you can know the attitude of the other party, and you will also have face." The president shook his head bitterly: "Master Zhibu probably doesn't understand the royal city of Joseon." "Oh?" "The capital of North Korea itself is a huge city, how can we get in? This matter is as absurd as entering Daban City to get Guanbai's head." "Haha... In this case, there is a solution. If you say that Guan Bai has given up on Zhengming, they will happily open the city gate to welcome you two!" After Sancheng finished speaking, he thought of continuing to play tricks on Xiaoxi. It didn't mean anything, so he smiled, "No, this is just a joke. I will tell Guan Bai your request, don't worry." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief about what happened today, but there was still a gloom in everyone's heart that could not be relieved. The matter of dispatching troops to the Ming Dynasty has just embarked on a road that no one can stop.
