Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine

Huiqiong of Anguoji Temple felt very strange when he heard that the son of Hachisu Kahikoemon's son, Isei, was on an envoy.It was already late at night, and it was ten miles away from here to Hachisuka's camp on Mount Ishii. Even if we galloped away on horseback, it would be almost dawn when we returned to the camp, so something unusual must have happened. Huiqiong got up slowly on purpose, washed her face and went to meet the messenger.The envoy's housekeeping is already an old acquaintance, but there is a seemingly inexplicable expression on his face.After the meeting, the housekeeper took out a letter.

Huiqiong opened it and saw that the letter read "Misrepresenting Hideyoshi's intention..." and so on.I see.It's no surprise that Midnight begged to meet again.However, the housekeeper didn't notice, which made people feel suspicious.This cannot be the wisdom of Hikoemon, either from Kuroda Kanbei or Hideyoshi himself, the answer will naturally come to light. Slowly rolling up the letter, just about to say "See you tomorrow morning" Huiqiong stopped again.It is not Hideyoshi who is in trouble now, but Mori. Among the three mottoes left in Maori's family motto, one of them says "if the upper and lower are concentric, the profit will break the gold".It can be said that Hideyoshi's side is now the complete winner, and if the family precepts are followed, the 5,000 officers and soldiers of Muneji Shimizu who were attacked by water must be rescued, because the Maori side is in an unfavorable situation of being helpless.

If they give up, the officers and soldiers in the city will starve to death. If they rush to attack, Hideyoshi may not be able to fight.The Mori clan will appear ruthless, the morale of the whole army will be low, and soon, it will face collapse.Yes, I should be honest... Hui Qiong finally made up her mind, and said to the housekeeper, "Then, let's leave now." Although he said so, he was still thinking that something must have happened.Of course, he is also calculating the success of this negotiation. Under the leadership of the housekeeper, the two came to the place where they usually meet secretly - the frog-nosed hut on the mountainside of Shijing. It was already late at night.This hut was originally lived by woodcutters in this area, but it was converted into a resting place around the barracks. When the two touched it, there was no one there.

Hui Qiong of Anguo Temple entered the hut under the guidance of the housekeeper, and the attendants were busy lighting the lamps. Hui Qiong quietly stood at the door, looking at Gaosong Castle floating on the water.The city was dark, and in the dead silence, only the stars that had been around for thousands of years floated on the water.At this time, Huiqiong was in a heavy heart.In this silence, cunning people are intriguing and killing each other. Why is this? Huiqiong used to be very contemptuous of a sentence: "In order to live..." If people exist to live, everything will become the source of struggle.The rapacious nature of existence amplifies the endless restlessness.But if it is changed to "for people to live", although the difference is not big in the literal sense, the content is quite different.

"There is only a thin line between hell and bliss. Do people exist for their own survival, or for the survival of others? If you blindly pursue the former, you will fall into the endless hell; if you pursue the latter, you will surely ascend to the ultimate paradise. "This is what Huiqiong often answered when Mao Liyuan asked Huiqiong about Buddhism.However, even if you never forget to save people, you will definitely not kill each other.Now, Takamatsu Castle, which is floating in the water, is such a fate. Hideyoshi didn't want to kill all 5,000 castle soldiers, and Mori's side was also doing their best to rescue the castle soldiers, but a little persistence on both sides made the negotiations deadlocked.At this time, a voice came from behind, and it was Hachisu Kahikoemon walking towards him from the camp.

"Everyone back down." Saying that, Hikoemon walked into the hut, "It's midnight after all, it's so quiet! Oh, you came so happily, sorry to bother you." Greeting Hui Qiong: "I thought it would be tomorrow morning at the earliest, so I walked here in a daze..." Huiqiong had expected that Hua would say such a thing. "Your letter said that the meaning of Hashiba-sama was misrepresented, so I will ask you first..." "This..." Hikoemon deliberately said slowly, "I told Mr. Hideyoshi about my strict rejection, but Mr. Hideyoshi turned out to be displeased."

"Oh……" "I stand up and I'm leaving... My lord..." "What else did you say?" "'I didn't say that there is no room for consideration in the conditions proposed by the Maori side. If the city makes Shimizu Zongji cut up, my face in front of the Youfu will be...' The lord said to himself like this, but he didn't stop Me, I just backed out... But, after I went to bed, I suddenly realized, isn't this a major mistake?" "That's true." Hui Qiong nodded slowly, "So, you read your lord's mind and asked us to kill the city lord Zongzhi before agreeing to our conditions."

"Yes. If this is really our lord's wish, can you please persuade Maori again... In order to handle this matter well, I invited you here in the middle of the night..." Just as Hikoyuemon said this, he was interrupted by Hui Qiong raising his hand. "In that case, there is no hope." Huiqiong refused too simply.Hikoemon couldn't help feeling angry. "So, for the life of a guard, 5,000 city soldiers must be starved to death... Is this Mori's Shido?" "No no." Hui Qiong smiled, "I have told you many times about this matter. This is the difference between Master Yuchai and Maori's way of thinking. Maori is not like Master Yushiba. If you look at it as a whole, five thousand people will always be one, not only five thousand, but thirty thousand reinforcements will always be one. If you lose the generals, the soldiers cannot stand; if you lose the soldiers, you will not survive. This is exactly the same as asking the Maori side to surrender all their proud creeds and surrender... What I meant just now is that the Anguo Temple can do nothing about it."

Hikoemon couldn't help crying secretly.From the very beginning, he expected that he would not be able to win this negotiation, and then Kuroda would come to talk, and then Hideyoshi would come to talk in person.He came after being informed of the three-stage idea, but it was too shameless to be rejected like this.Hikoemon frowned. "I understand what you mean. In other words, this is already the biggest concession from the Maori side. If we refuse, will Maori have to work together and fight us to the death?" "Yes, I have always wanted to tell the adults about this."

"Letting 5,000 city soldiers starve in an isolated city in the water is really the worst policy of all time." "Hachisuka-sama." "What else?" "Now you are talking about the worst policy, but in fact the war itself is the worst policy." "This is the Buddhist saying." "Because I'm in the Buddhist sect... If you take away the Five Kingdoms and let a mere Takamatsu Castle go back, this will also be a considerable contribution to the Oda family's hegemony. In this way, the Maori will naturally be at the disadvantage of the Oda family Yet?"

"No, no." Hikoemon also did not give in, "This is the third time that Lord Youfu has conquered China. If you make peace again in an unclear manner, the Maori side will definitely think that they have not failed at all, and will encourage them to fight against China." Raise morale and launch the fourth and fifth turmoil. It’s hard to get to the present, please work harder and give us a reply.” "It's not that Hui Qiong doesn't want to help you realize your wish." Hui Qiong still smiled firmly, clasping her hands together, "There are great powers in the world, there are those who gain power and those who lose power. It's hard to be attacked by you several times. Keep this family property, but why are you still unwilling to let it go? I have also said before that this time is a contest between the winners and losers, so don't be so impatient, the general situation in the world will naturally settle down. Please understand Hui For Joan's painstaking efforts, please persuade Mrs. Yu Chai." The summer nights are really short. At some point, the surrounding area has been lit up, and the lights in the candlesticks will be dying. "Oh, it's dawn..." Although the negotiation failed, Hachisu Kahikoemon felt that what the other party said was reasonable, although he was very annoyed, but he was very helpless.Indeed, as Hui Qiong said, the general trend of the world cannot be reversed by manpower.However, things changed due to the killing of Mr. Nobunaga.The current situation is that Huiqiong has to be persuaded no matter what, but he doesn't have the ability yet. In the woods on both sides, the birds that got up early made cheerful calls.Hikoemon raised his head slowly, and called his son who was guarding him. "Housekeeping... It's already dawn, so hurry up and go to Kuroda's camp. Kuroda is different from me. He can understand Mr. Hashiba's thoughts more deeply from another angle. It's war and war. At the critical moment, we must eliminate the barriers between each other, have a heart-to-heart talk, and then ask Lord Hashiba to make a decision. What do you think, Huiqiong?" Hui Qiong nodded knowingly, and was even more convinced that something terrible must have happened... "Please also tell Mr. Kuroda what Mao Lifang means on behalf of the old monk." The housekeeper took the order to leave, and Hikoemon called the guards, poured out the water in the bamboo tube and handed it to Huiqiong.In front of Huiqiong, Hikoemon always felt as if he was inferior and couldn't hold his head up.The Hachisuka family was originally a wild samurai who used violence to fight against poverty and injustice, not an ordinary wealthy family.Their ancestors have been entrenched in a corner of Owari Kaibu County for generations. Like Takeuchi Hataro, they have never served their masters, but have always believed in gods. From the standpoint of Shinto, one king and all the people, it is unreasonable for the "people" to own "the people".Therefore, if there is a heavenly soldier, there is no need to seek the lord... This kind of thinking has a great influence on Nobunaga's father's diligent and god-respecting behavior. Not only that, Jing Hirate Masahide also gave birth to Nobunaga's great ambition to unify the world . It was for the unification of the world that Hikoemon took the initiative to serve Nobunaga and obey Hideyoshi.Therefore, Nobunaga's death, in a sense, is constantly shaking his faith. "Master Kuroda is here." When the housekeeper came back to report, it was already dawn, and a thick milky white mist rose around him.At some point, the lights had already been extinguished, and the officer and soldier came down from his hand, looking so small and helpless.This little man, who can be called unparalleled in the world, is full of wisdom in his chest, he will not admit defeat to anyone, and he is even a little conceited.For some reason, his leg was limping extra badly this morning. "Oh, it's raining, and my old problem has happened again, and it hurts me to death." As soon as the officer and soldier guard saw Hui Qiong, he immediately pretended to be fine, laughed loudly, stretched his legs forward, and then sat down. "The negotiation doesn't seem to be going well. Oh, it's really troubled you." This old fox—— Hui Qiong thought about it, and quietly lowered her head. "Where did the negotiation get stuck? There is an 'opportunity' for everything in the world, and to settle the matter before Lord Youfu arrives... This is a perfect opportunity for the Maori side. Wouldn't it be a pity to let it go for nothing—hey Hey, stay away, don't get close!" The officer and soldier reprimanded the guard who was about to come to him with tea.Hikoemon recounted the negotiation process from beginning to end: "Hui Qiong said that beheading the lord of the castle, Shimizu Zongji, is tantamount to asking Maori to abandon his proud Shidao and surrender. He cannot answer Maori." "Oh." After listening carefully, the officers and soldiers nodded, "Then, Hachisuka-sama, can you please leave for a while too." "It probably won't be necessary." Hui Qiong interjected, but Guan Bingwei waved his hand: "No, maybe later, Guan Bingwei will fight with the master. Fair enough, so..." Hui Qiong couldn't help laughing. After Hikoemon left, the two looked at each other and smiled.But this is by no means an intimate smile, but a smile that the two sides guess at each other without giving in, a smile that shows a strong fighting spirit. "In order for the master to stand out in this area, you have to shake hands with me. The master should also be an eminent monk with a heart." "Heh..." Hui Qiong's eyes showed a threatening light, "I don't dare to say that I have no ambitions in my heart, but, Mr. Kuroda, what happened that made you so eager to negotiate peace with me?" "Haha... What do you think will happen? With your eyesight, you can't see it, right?" "This matter is purely confidential and cannot be leaked?" "No, no." The officers and soldiers waved their hands nonchalantly, "If it happens, I can disclose it to you at any time, but I don't have the confidence. Leaking it to you is a threat to you. If it is revealed to you, you will If I still don’t agree, will you let me go back alive? Haha…” "It's reasonable, it's really abnormal, hahaha..." Hui Qiong also laughed, "This poor monk is too hasty. In short, now it is necessary to reach an agreement no matter what, and the troops must retreat... Therefore, the negotiation You must be fully prepared.” "Yes, that's what you said, what you said." Guan Bingwei said cheerfully again, "As long as you agree, you can advance and retreat freely. We just want to use you to get rid of Shimizu Zongzhi alone. You see, just so!" As he spoke, he showed his ugly belly wantonly for Hui Qiong to see, and with half teasing and half threatening eyes, he saluted Hui Qiong. Hui Qiong couldn't help complaining again and again.If you don't agree, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to leave here alive.Although he was not afraid of death, he did find that something big had happened.Huiqiong is driven by a strong desire to know what it is. "Master Hashiba is so lucky to have an enviable counselor." "Don't dare to be, dare not be." Guan Bingwei smiled wryly, "I'm a strong outsider but capable in the middle. Nothing else, Guan Bingwei relies on integrity as a sharp weapon. Apart from these, I'm just a little man with no plans." "My lord's words are wrong." Hui Qiong was full of emotion, "In the past, you had the precious sword Hanbei Takenaka, and after Takenaka passed away, you got the gun Kuroda again. You are so lucky." "Master, for our luck, please help us." "for what?" "Presumably the master has a lot of respect for our lord. This is an opportunity for you, and it is also for the benefit of Maori." At this moment, people suddenly shouted and neighed around the hut far away from other people. "what happened?" "It's Mr. Yu Chai patrolling the camp. In short, this morning we have to settle this matter quickly." The guards noticed a smile appearing on Hui Qiong's face, "Just as the master noticed, these were done on purpose for the master to see. The master and Look." After speaking, he smiled presumptuously. In fact, the people inside the house already know it well, but the people outside the house don't know if they understand what happened in the house. I saw banners fluttering in the morning wind, stepping on overlapping horseshoe prints, Hideyoshi majesticly leading more than a hundred banner generals, shouting loudly: "Housekeeping has worked hard. Have you found any abnormalities?" "My lord, no." "Oh. Master Youfu will arrive today and tomorrow. You must stand on guard and don't be paralyzed!" "yes." In the hut, the officers and soldiers thought it was even more funny than Hui Qiong, and they shrugged their necks, laughing endlessly. "Now that the sun has just come out, if you look at it from the city, it must be a galloping horse, which is extremely spectacular." "Master Kuroda." "What is it?" "Master Yu Chai said just now that Master Youfu will arrive today and tomorrow." "yes." "Master Yuchai just said 'Master Youfu' just now, it seems to have aggravated the tone, this can't be..." "Haha... Our Lord Yuchai is just like me. He is an upright person, and he can't hide things in his heart. Haha..." "Master Kuroda!" "What's the matter, doesn't your face look right?" "If something happens to Master Youfu..." Hearing what Hui Qiong said, Guan Bingwei stared at him with eagle-like eyes. "If I say it happened, what can you do? I, Kuroda Kanbei is very tall, and I will wait patiently now to see your answer!" As he spoke, he dragged his lame leg and stared at Huiqiong from above. Monk Huiqiong couldn't help but gasped, and closed his eyes.He never thought that Nobunaga would have an accident.He still clearly remembers the moment when Nobunaga passed him by when he was in Qingzhou, Nobunaga was so proud, with a heroic look on his brows.This is definitely not the face of an ordinary person, maybe in the future... I remember joking once, he also said to Guanbingwei that even if Nobunaga wins the world, he will not be able to keep it. Could it be Hideyoshi who will inherit the great cause?Something must have happened! There is no need for Guanbingwei to hide Huiqiong, he is here to ask for Huiqiong's head. The time for my head to be lost has probably come... If I don't know, I can still avoid death, but Hui Qiong was not born to be such a dull person.If you want to live, there is only one way, according to Hikoemon and Kanbei, let the Mori brothers get rid of the upright and steadfast city lord Shimizu Zongji. "Master, I don't think this is like a master. You should have made up your mind long ago. Whether to accept it or not!" "Master Kuroda, if I were to say no, what would you say to Master Hashiba?" "There is no other choice..." Officer Bingwei muttered, "There is no way to retreat. Then, Lord Hashiba has no choice but to fight Mori to the end." "indeed." "Master, do you hope that your favorite Hashiba Hideyoshi and the Mori family you are loyal to will die together, and the world will be handed over to others, or do you hope to return to the chaotic world full of wars? This is not like the compassionate heart of the Buddhist family." "Since you say that, the poor monk has no choice but to say that." Hui Qiong raised the prayer beads on his wrist high, "All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, you have seen it. Hui Qiong's enemy is also me. Your friend, Kuroda-sama." "Oh." "If neither of you is a friend of the poor monk, if you can figure out a way to make Maori Fang kill Shimizu Zongji, I will promise you." "what did you say?" "For the sake of the world, Hui Qiong can persuade the Maori side. However, this is a battlefield. If the two sides confront each other for a long time, no matter how eloquently Hui Qiong speaks, the Maori side may not agree. If you have a good plan, I hope you can teach me face to face." "So, the master agreed? What the master is worried about is that Maori won't agree?" "Exactly." "Okay!" Kuroda Officer and Guards shouted excitedly, "In order to test God's will, please meet with my Hashiba-sama first. Then, tell him exactly what the master just said to me. Look Let's see if he has a good way to decide his fate. Master, what do you think?" Hui Qiong re-examined the officers, soldiers and guards: glib tongue, daring to act!What if Huiqiong sees Hideyoshi, and Hideyoshi has no good ideas?Then, the responsibility does not lie with Guanbingwei, but with Hideyoshi. "Master Guanbingwei, do you think Lord Hashiba will definitely have a way to resolve the deadlock?" "Haha... I don't know." The guard cast his sharp eyes on the sunny bushes, "People are born with their own luck." "Oh, you mean, if you're unlucky, you have to give up?" "Then there is no other way. However, this is not just the luck of our Lord Yushiba alone, it is closely related to the luck of the Mori, Kobayakawa, and Yoshikawa families... If the negotiation fails, there will be nothing more than three kinds of results. Either our Master Hashiba is defeated, or Mori The three families disappeared from the world, or both of them may perish together, and others will reap the benefits. If the Mori family knows the truth, if they must stick to Shidori, then we have no choice but to make a decision for us, Hashiba-sama. Let's go to see Hashiba-sama together!" Hui Qiong suddenly felt cold all over and could not speak.The officers, soldiers and guards seemed to be indifferent, but it was not because they spoke irresponsibly, but because they had been carefully calculated. "I'll go with you." Guan Bingwei greeted lightly again, and Hui Qiong laughed softly. "Who is the poor monk's friend? Even the poor monk himself is confused." "That's right. Buddhist disciples are not anyone's vassals." As he said that, Guanbingwei called the housekeeper loudly, asking him to confirm whether Lord Hideyoshi had returned to the camp.Hikoemon also disappeared, so he must have rushed to Hideyoshi to report the progress of the negotiations. When the hand was ready again, the housekeeper galloped to report that Mr. Hideyoshi had finished his tour of the camp and returned to the camp. "Ah, it looks like today is another hot day." Guan Bingwei got into the mobile phone with a relaxed expression, "The cicadas in this area seem to be different from the ones in the capital. It always feels loose." He smiled recklessly and left first. Hui Qiong silently looked at the sky from the car window.People are born with their own luck... Unexpectedly, the luck of the three Mori families is not as good as Hideyoshi. Hideyoshi was originally the son of a low-ranking samurai in Owari Nakamura. Later, he made a fortune and settled in Himeji. Now China has been fighting for five years.If he is allowed to stay here, the Maori clan since Yuanjiu will never have a stable life.However, how can we persuade Maori to kill Shimizu Zongzhi?On the way to Hideyoshi's camp, Hye-joon kept thinking about this. The parents of the two had already arrived at the camp, but today's Hideyoshi was a little unusual, he didn't come out to greet him with a smile like usual.He is probably a general who is not like a general. He has never been as dignified and inviolable as other generals.He likes to suddenly pat the other person on the shoulder, laughing loudly, but at this moment, he has already firmly grasped the other person's heart with his powerful wrist and personality.But today, Guan Bingwei has already brought Huiqiong, but Hideyoshi didn't let him in. "My lord seems to be in a bad mood." Ishida Sakichi, who came out to greet them, let the two go to the living room first.Guan Bingwei looked back at Hui Qiong and smiled. "Okay, I'll go in and persuade him first, and then I'll take you to see him." Entering the living room, Huiqiong still stared blankly at the pool with half-closed eyes.The surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere didn't seem to have changed in the slightest.Of course, the changes are probably hidden.The attendant brought refreshments and went out again quietly.Suddenly, Huiqiong thought, has Hideyoshi really made up his mind?Now, Kanbei Kuroda should be reporting to Hideyoshi, presumably Hachisu Kahikoemon has already reported to Hideyoshi what happened last night. It seems that Hideyoshi intends to trick Huiqiong into house arrest here to prevent the news of the incident from leaking out, and then take advantage of Maori's unpreparedness to make a surprise attack.If this is the case, Hideyoshi is not a great person.Hui Qiong unknowingly picked up the cold tea and drank it all in one go. Suddenly, there was a flurry of footsteps. One is an officer and guard who has difficulty walking, and the other is an impatient who walks in a hurry, without a guard or entourage. "Oh, it's the abbot of Anguo Temple. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." As he said that, Hideyoshi looked very kind as if he had met a confidant for ten years, and sat down cross-legged in front of Hui Qiong, "Just now, officers and soldiers Wei Du told me. Now is the time for both parties to sit down and think carefully." "My lord's words are very true...poor monk..." "Ah, the polite words will be avoided. I heard that you are merciful and want to stand in the middle to bring the two companies together. Therefore, I should let you see our sincerity. Look, this is what Motosuke Uehara from the Mauri side wrote to My letter. Even Motozuru's son-in-law has seen through that this war is your loss. Therefore, I hope the master will help Hideyoshi achieve this. Besides, I will not shame the Mori family just because I killed Shimizu Soji what……" "That being said, but how to do it specifically..." Hui Qiong hurriedly interjected. "There is a way. Let me tell you." Hideyoshi closed his mouth and laughed. "Are you talking about the way to let Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa kill Shimizu Soji?" Hui Qiong asked quickly. "Yes." Hideyoshi suddenly became serious, with an aggressive and murderous look on his face, "How about it, Soji's life is a matter of the face of both Mori and Hideyoshi. You should know this matter first, and then rush to Takamatsu Castle." "Ah? What did your lord just say, let the poor monk go to Gaosong City like this?" "Yes." Hideyoshi stared at Huiqiong, "Hashiba Hideyoshi also admires Shimizu Zongji from the bottom of his heart. How can I say that he is also a loyal minister of the famous Mori clan. Tell Zongzhi carefully the difference between the success of the peace negotiation." "Anyi, Zhou Fang, Nagato, Bingo, Binchu, Hoki, Izumo, Iwami, and Oki have a total of 1.62 million stones. However, this is only a superficial phenomenon. In Kyushu, from Bungzen to Bungo , Chikuzen, Chikugo, and all the way to the Higo area, the powerful Otomo clan is eyeing the Maori clan. The defense here must not be sloppy for a moment... The troops they can mobilize to the east are far behind my Hideyoshi. If If you start a tug-of-war here and lose the opportunity to negotiate a peace, you will no longer be loyal to the Mori family. You just need to explain my words to him intact." Hye Joon held her breath and stared at Hideyoshi. "Hideyoshi, I am also a military commander. I know Zongzhi's Zhongliang very well. Therefore, I presented him with the fragrant flowers that he used when he committed suicide. Of course, 5,000 people in the city were saved. In addition, because Zongzhi committed suicide out of loyalty, Among the five countries ceded by the Maori side, we only accept three countries, and the remaining two countries are not. You go and say this, Zongzhi, a rare loyal minister, for the sake of the Maori family and the lives of 5,000 people, he will definitely He committed suicide. After you watched him commit suicide, you asked Maori to negotiate a peace. You told them that Hideyoshi risked his life and wanted to negotiate peace for Lord Youfu, and the descendants of the famous Maori family should see the situation." Listening and listening, Hui Qiong couldn't help trembling all over.What Hideyoshi said was by no means a small strategy, but wisdom obtained through rigorous calculation on the basis of rationality.As long as you tell Shimizu Zongzhi that it is for the master, he will take the initiative to commit suicide, and thus overcome the difficulties.Hideyoshi's deep insight had already seen through all of this, and his eyes were truly frightening. In Huiqiong's eyes, Zongzhi is also such a samurai.No, perhaps Hideyoshi had calculated accurately a long time ago. He thought that Huiqiong would also go on an envoy. Huiqiong was such a monk. "How about it, master abbot, the boat has been prepared for you a long time ago. You set off from the frog's nose and go to Gaosong immediately. That is where the master can display his talents." Hui Qiong couldn't help stroking the rosary and bowed her head. "Everything is done according to the wishes of adults." "Let's go now?" "How can the poor monk sit still, I think the adults have already seen it." "Oh, that's really rare. Thank you, Master. For the Mori clan, for the Oda clan...it should be for the people of the world, and also for Hideyoshi." Knowing that Hui Qiong was going to Gaosong City as an envoy, according to the arrangement earlier, the officers, soldiers and guards clapped their hands and called the attendants over.So, the attendants immediately brought clay cups, which also contained dried shelled chestnuts called "Sheng Li". Hideyoshi's arrangement is really watertight, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner according to his prior design... Huiqiong sometimes feels scared, sometimes feels at a loss, he even feels as if he is in a dream. "Come on, I wish you success, let's have a toast." Hideyoshi's tone and attitude seemed to be seeing off his retainers, and he personally brought a glass of wine to Huiqiong, "Guan Bingwei, if the master is willing to go out, he will succeed immediately." "What the lord said is true." Guan Bingwei still had a smile on his face, encouraging Hui Qiong, "In this way, Mori's Shidao will be even more glorious, and Shimizu Zongji will also become a role model for samurai, which will last forever in history. It is gratifying Congratulations!" These words seemed to incite Hui Qiong, but they also added wisdom to him intentionally or unintentionally. If Hui Qiong dislikes the "great righteousness" of the two, she may find this hint infuriating.However, he didn't feel disgusted at all, but was moved inconceivably. Huiqiong had become a puppet manipulated by a great puppeteer, and because of the puppeteer's wonderful technique, even the puppet itself became in a trance. "Please also tell Soji that I, Hideyoshi, feel deeply sorry for him." If this sentence is understood as bad intentions, I am afraid there is nothing more shameful than it, but Huiqiong still has no displeasure——Hideyoshi is such a person, he feels regret from the heart, and wants to kill Zongzhi , also from the heart. After drinking, Huiqiong headed towards Frog Nose without saying a word.He no longer has any self-will, and acts entirely under Hideyoshi's careful planning.It's just past Si hour, but despite this, Hui Qiong hasn't stopped since she came out in the middle of the night. Arriving at Wabi, there is a large lake of 190 towns in front of you. A military boat has been prepared on the lake and is waiting for his arrival. The sun shining on the water makes the lonely city floating on the water even more pitiful.On the left side of the opposite monkey hanging mountain, you can see the camp of Mori Terumoto, and on the right side you can see the camp of Yoshikawa Yuanchun hidden in the green hills, with banners waving. Probably Kelong Kobayakawa was also discussing the military situation with Huiyuan today, and the three of them would never have dreamed that Huiqiong was now on the water of Takamatsu Castle. "Master abbot, don't forget, let the boat launch before noon, and let Zongzhi commit suicide on the boat. A boat will also be sent here for an autopsy. We will negotiate a peace before the end of the day. Don't forget, it is noon." As soon as Huiqiong stepped on the boat, he was patted on the shoulder by Hideyoshi, and he couldn't help shaking.
