Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Hashiba Hideyoshi

The demise of the Asakura and Asai families made Nobunaga's hegemony more stable. The Ashikaga shogunate has been defeated, and there is no doubt about the death of Takeda Shingen, who caused Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu a headache.Shingen's son Katsuyori led the remaining retainers and thought he was very powerful, but Ieyasu had already formed a restraint on them.The next thing to do is to suppress the riots of the Honganji Temple forces and the Yijizong believers they support.This is tit for tat. Nobunaga has been looking for the best time to completely defeat those rebels gathered in the name of faith.At present, believers who are entrenched in the Ise Nagashima area should be attacked to cut off the right and left arm of Ishiyama Honganji Temple.

Nobunaga is still vigorous and resolute, which is jaw-dropping. On the fourth day of September, he ordered Shibata Katsuya to attack Liujiao Yibi in Nyujiang City, making a gesture of marching into Hanoi, but he quickly assembled the team on the sixth day and returned to Gifu triumphantly.On the occasion of the triumphant return, Hideyoshi came to Nobunaga to express his gratitude for the reward.Hideyoshi played an important role in the attack on Otani Castle, and Nobunaga gave him all the 180,000 koku territory of the Asai family, and named him the lord of Otani Castle. "You need to quickly find an heir for this territory." Nobunaga said again: "Fujikichi, how is Ashi?"

Hideyoshi tilted his head in confusion, "What do you mean, my lord?" "I asked her if she had given up on suicidal thoughts." Hideyoshi seemed to realize suddenly, "Ah, so that's the case. You don't have to worry..." He replied confidently. "What did you say to her on the way?" "It's nothing, just by her side." After hearing this, Nobunaga turned his face and smacked his lips.As long as Nobunaga asked questions, Hideyoshi's answers were always unexpected.He knows that Nobunaga likes him like this, but the more he is like this, the more hateful and lovable Nobunaga feels about Hideyoshi.

"Are you saying she never had suicidal thoughts in the first place?" "You can say yes, or you can say no." "It's so long-winded! So it's gone now? How did you get her to stop suicidal thoughts?" Hideyoshi tilted his head slightly, but did not answer.He originally wanted to say that Nobunaga didn't understand women's minds, but after thinking about it, if he said that, he and Ashi would be too pathetic. "Why don't you talk?" "About this matter, I don't quite understand. It's just that she changed her mind when I was by my side...I didn't try to change her on purpose." Hideyoshi finished answering earnestly, raised his head and looked at Nobunaga cautiously.

Seeing that Hideyoshi's expression was different from usual when he answered, he looked serious and cautious, Nobunaga looked around, and said to Yubi and the servants: "Go down." Then he turned his head and said: "Fujikichi..." "My lord." "You said, thank me for giving you all the territory of Xiaogu Castle and Asai, right?" "Yes. I would like to express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart." "Don't you think this 180,000 stone territory is a flawed gem?" "Huh?" Hideyoshi seemed to have become another person, his face full of confusion.

"Don't you hate Ah Shi?" "..." "To tell the truth. I think she is very pitiful, so I want to find a man who can give her the courage to live by her side and help her raise her children to grow up. Why, you don't want to?" "This... this... no, I am very willing." As soon as the words fell, Hideyoshi's eyes were already moist, not because of shame, but because of the longing for the "beauty" that makes people's hearts tremble, and the desire for those who have "beauty" The infinite pity of unfortunate circumstances.

"In that case, you can accept them." Hideyoshi bowed his head obediently, and for some reason, his tears trickled down.The figure of Ashina facing death and walking on the red dirt road reappeared in Hideyoshi's tearful eyes. Nobunaga stared at Hideyoshi closely, waiting for an answer. "Ugh!" "Huh? You have Yae, she is no longer the main wife." "I don't agree." Hideyoshi raised his face abruptly, and hastily wiped away his tears with his fingers. "why?" "Mrs. Ashi is the lord's own sister, and Hideyoshi is just a descendant of the Ashigaru samurai."

"so what?" "My lord may not understand. In that case, Hideyoshi's heart will be shaken." "shake?" "Yes. My lord is like the sun in my eyes. I must be absolutely loyal. Frankly speaking, it is very rare to promote me from the lord of 50,000 shi to the lord of 180,000 shi. If you give your own sister... ...Then, even if I don't feel slack, the world will think so. Especially the retainers, maybe they are not as loyal as before. More importantly, this decision is a great blasphemy to Ashi... So, I Resolutely refuse." "Oh." Nobunaga gently closed his eyes.

"But if the lord wants to raise a few young ladies, Hideyoshi will do his best..." Hideyoshi said while wiping away tears. Nobunaga didn't smile, nor reprimanded him.He felt that Hideyoshi was not lying.He really followed Nobunaga as the supreme existence.If he married Nobunaga's own sister, considering the reaction of his retainers, he might not be able to speak freely as usual, which cannot be ignored. "Oh...you mean, you don't hate Ah Shi, and you refused because she is my younger sister." "My lord!" Hideyoshi eagerly shook his hands with tears in his eyes.Hearing that Nobunaga let him accept Ashi, he was happier than getting the land of 180,000 stone from the Asai family.Thinking of Nobunaga trusting him so much, and thinking of what happened to Oshi, Hideyoshi couldn't help but shed tears. "Mrs. Ashi will live. I saw it."

"You really said something to her on the way!" "No, I didn't persuade her, I just let her watch some ugly things on purpose." "An ugly thing?" "It's the corpse of an enemy soldier. The corpse was covered with flies and maggots, and it was black as if it had been burnt. I deliberately drove the flies away. After the flies buzzed and flew away, the black corpse turned pale and began to wriggle." "Corpse wriggling?" "It's maggots. Because the body has rotted, the bones are covered with maggots... Ashi stared at it for a while, then suddenly covered his eyes, and ran away in a panic. At least in Hideyoshi's view, she had a reassuring look, as if Fortunately, I finally escaped from the hands of death..."

Nobunaga grinned, and nodded emphatically: "Then, just pretend that I didn't say anything about Ashi." "Although I can't accept Ah Shi, can you give me one of her daughters?" "No!" Nobunaga said seriously, "Just the 180,000 shi territory is enough to make you jealous of others. For your consideration, it's better not to give it... I just realized this problem too." Saying, Nobunaga immediately began to prepare for departure. Hideyoshi should relax now.But when he thought about going to visit his own Xiaogu City, for some reason, he felt lost.There is no longer Shi Ji and her children in the city, and the value of the city seems to have dropped by half. Ishida Sakichi followed behind Hideyoshi and Takenaka Hanbei, looking at Hideyoshi's unusual back, tilting his head with forehead hair from time to time.Saji, who used to be a monk in the Sanzhuyuan Temple in Guqiao Village, Yixiang County, was extremely sensitive.At this time, in his eyes, Hideyoshi seemed to have suddenly become another person. Is it because he was promoted from the small lord of Nagahama 50,000 koku to the position of the real daimyo of Otani Castle 180,000 koku?Whether speaking to common people, servants, or ashigaru samurai, Hideyoshi's tone is always friendly, and he often jokes, which makes people happy; but now he suddenly becomes cautious in his words.Is this bad or good for him? Sakichi believes that the unity between master and servant of the Hashiba family mainly comes from Hideyoshi's open-minded character.A few days ago, Hideyoshi came to the vicinity of Honjo where Asai Nagamasa and Aichi lived, and suddenly stopped and stared at the castle, as if deeply moved.Although this is not surprising, Sakichi still felt a deep sense of loss, so he said to Hanbei Takenaka, who was gazing at the road leading to Nagahama from Toranozen Mountain: "Mr. Takenaka, the master is in poor health, or Not in good spirits?" Hanbei didn't look back: "I'm a little unhappy." "Why? Didn't he say a few words to Mr.?" "No, it's not hard to imagine." "Is it because the territory of 180,000 stones made him feel burdened?..." "Saki," Banbei cut off Saji's words, "These things are definitely not something you, a child, should think about." "But I feel... the master's heart is so heavy, so listless..." Banbei still didn't look at Sakichi, nodded and said: "Adults do this sometimes, you don't need to worry." "Because of the widow who is shallow and prepared..." Before Sakichi finished speaking, Hanbei had already strode towards Hideyoshi, and Sakichi followed him in puzzlement. Hideyoshi waited for Banbei to approach, and said, "Fate is predestined." "Exactly. It was decided from the moment of birth." "Is there anything that can be changed?" Banbingwei didn't know if he heard it, but said: "After inspecting the city today, let's go to various territories immediately." "Oh, do hurry up." "No, you are fast enough. Let's go tomorrow..." "Okay. As you said, life is predestined. After reaching a certain position, it is as difficult as reaching the sky." Hearing the unprecedented despair in Hideyoshi's tone, Hanbei couldn't help frowning. Hideyoshi and Nobunaga are no different in that they don't care about each other's feelings at all.No matter who the other party is, they speak without scruples.But compared with Nobunaga's rebellious character, what Hideyoshi highlights is his flexibility and flexibility, which often makes people feel at a loss.In terms of natural aptitude, Hideyoshi was above Nobunaga - Hanbei had always thought so.Therefore, there is no need for Sakiji to remind, Hideyoshi's changes have already been noticed by Hanbei.A man is a strange animal. A confident man like Hideyoshi is more easily confused by the beauty of women.Perhaps Hideyoshi had to give up his desire because he thought that his identity was very different from that of Ashi. There might be hidden dangers and traps that determined his fate.Hanbei pretended to be relaxed and walked to Hideyoshi: "My lord, you seem to be doubting your own talent and luck?" "No, I have no doubts. I have changed from an ashigaru samurai to a daimyo of 180,000 stone." Hanbei stared closely at Hideyoshi's eyes, and slowly shook his head: "I will not follow a small daimyo with only 180,000 koku territory." "Oh?" "Okay, let's talk as we walk, my lord..." He deliberately smiled, "How good do you think your luck can be?" Hideyoshi opened his eyes wide: "Why did you say that, sir?" Hanbei did not answer directly, "I think you are a great person." "you mean……" "You resolutely refuse to accept Ah Shi." "Frankly, sir, I'm very sorry, actually...but sometimes I have to be more cautious...I'm afraid of fate." "This is what I think highly of you." Banbingwei suddenly emphasized his tone, "You are so lucky, you must be born to be protected by gods and Buddhas!" Hideyoshi walked forward with a blank expression, he obviously didn't understand what Hanbei wanted to say. "If it were my subordinates, I would also resolutely refuse." Hanbei said to himself, "This will cause trouble for you to achieve great things in the future... Although Mrs. Ashi is Nobunaga's sister, she is also Asai Naga political widow." Hideyoshi turned around in surprise: Achieve great things?When he finally understood what Hanbei was going to say, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Let's welcome Madam into the city as soon as possible." "Ningning? This..." "Why don't you find another woman to take care of you? Anyway, you are really lonely by yourself." After Hanbei finished speaking, he still laughed out loud. Although Hideyoshi was very disgusted with Hanbei's laughter, but seeing Sakichi next to him listened with gusto, he had to laugh a few times as a perfunctory.In terms of insight into strategy and world affairs, Hideyoshi agrees with Hanbei more than anyone else, but he simply described Hideyoshi's current state of mind as not having a woman for company, which made Hideyoshi very annoyed. "Hanbingwei, this matter is beyond your comprehension, so don't talk nonsense." He wanted to reprimand him like this, but in the end he chose an ambiguous smile, probably because Banbingwei's words contained majesty.I am so cowardly!Hideyoshi thought.If his character was stronger, he would accept Oshi obediently and according to Nobunaga's will, and face Shibata, Akechi, Sakuma, Niwa and others calmly.In fact, he changed his surname to Yu Chai, so why didn't he regret it? Niwa Changhide is famous for his loyalty and Shibata Katsuie is famous for his bravery, so Hideyoshi took their surnames as "Zhong" and changed their surnames to "Hashiba".Now that I think about it, isn't the so-called name the code name of a person?Although Hideyoshi thinks that changing his surname can alleviate the suspicion of his retainers, and thinks it is a way of life, but why is cowardice and cowardice hidden behind it? That night, Hideyoshi rested in the big tent in front of Honjo, which was under repair.He woke up from the dream twice, each time because he dreamed about Ah Shi.There is such a thing!The dreams of the past are usually fights on the battlefield, piles of rice, or unconstrained figures... When dawn broke, Hanbei had made all preparations and was ready to set off immediately to inspect the new territory.Touring the territory has two meanings, one is to show majesty to reassure the people in troubled times; the other is to ask the people about their health easily so that the people can feel the kindness of the master. The half soldier guards were dressed in battle uniforms, majestic and majestic.The entourage has been set up, Kato, Fukushima, Katagiri and Ishida, plus Hideyoshi and Hanbei, but there are only a few people, even if they go hunting, there are too few people. "Just saying that the Asai family has been replaced by Mr. Hashiba with extraordinary martial arts will be enough to shake the entire Omi." Hanbei meant that these people are enough, but he omitted this sentence and said with a smile: "My lord, we lets go." Hideyoshi was unhappy.His state of mind at this time is not so much to show the majesty of the new lord, but rather to chase the phantom of Ah Shi. With this state of mind, how to set off to inspect the territory?But Hideyoshi took control.If you scold Hanbei in front of the enthusiastic generals, it will have a bad effect. According to the plan, each county will be inspected for two days, and Asai, Yixiang and Sakata will need a total of six days.When leaving the city, Hideyoshi was even more silent, as if he had changed himself.Only he and Hanbei rode horses.From Kinomoto, it crosses Mount Kidake, passes through Yanjin, and then goes along Hatta, Nagahara to Sugaura.When he arrived at the door of a rich family who was scheduled as a lodging place, Hideyoshi's eyes suddenly lit up.In the twilight, a woman was waiting at the door, her appearance was amazing. According to the plan, we should visit Sugaura and Kagura Ozaki as early as possible on this day, and then return to Yanjin.Therefore, it is not necessary to live in Sugaura.Hideyoshi glanced sharply at the woman and Hanbei Takenaka who came out to greet her. Sure enough, this kid was planning it all.Hideyoshi felt that he couldn't stop laughing.He yelled at Kato Toranosuke who followed on foot. "Go and ask, how to arrange the accommodation for tonight?" He turned his horse's head in front of the door as he spoke, facing the half guard.In front of you is the glistening surface of the lake reflecting the setting sun. "Half soldier guard!" "What are your orders?" "Who lives here?" Hanbei slowly unwound the notebook with the patrol schedule from his waist. "The owner is Kyogoku Wakadashimaru, and the house is indeed a bit dilapidated." "I'm not talking about that. Who is Kyogoku Wakadashimaru? A member of the Kyogoku family?" Hanbei was still so calm that it almost drove Hideyoshi crazy. "You don't know?" "Knowing that I still ask? Who is he?" "It's not just from the same family, the Kyogoku family here is the direct descendant of Nobuzuna Sasaki, the descendant of the Omi Gen clan." "What?" Hideyoshi was taken aback, and looked at the overgrown garden in front of him again.The house is indeed dilapidated, but it is obviously not the residence of ordinary people.The dilapidated and spectacular courtyard gate shows that this place used to be a famous family. "Sasaki Nobutsuna has a residence in Kyogoku, Kyoto. I heard that people used to call him Kyogoku in addition to Sasaki. He used to be the deacon of the Ashikaga shogunate, the leader of the nine kingdoms, and the prefect of the six counties of Jiangbei. Going to the territory to live in seclusion by this lake... What a flashy dream." Hideyoshi stared at Hanbei closely.He knew very well who the lord of the Asai family used to be, first Kyogoku, then Asai... now he became himself. Kato Toranosuke walked out slowly at this time. "Although it's cold, it's ready, sir, please go in." "Who said that?" "Because the owner of this house is still young, he asked his sister to come out to greet him." "Toranosuke, you are so rude." If it is really a direct descendant of the Kyogoku family, she should be called a young lady... Hideyoshi's mind reappeared in Hideyoshi's mind just now.If Ashi is the most beautiful woman Hideyoshi has ever seen, the woman just now can be called the second.And she looks younger and more energetic than Ah Shi. "Hanbei, why did you choose this place to stay? If you don't answer honestly, I will definitely not live here." Hideyoshi's voice was high-pitched, revealing his excitement. Banbingwei dismounted slowly and handed the reins to his servants.He is very aware of Hideyoshi's character, even if he is temporarily emotional, he will strictly reflect on it afterwards. "Do you think there's anything wrong?" He looked up at Hideyoshi casually, "I'm just following the Daikan's arrangement... The Daikan considers that the brothers and sisters here will welcome you sincerely because you eliminated the old enemy Asai's family for them .” Hideyoshi looked at Hanbei.At this time, Ishida Sakichi strode over. "My lord, please dismount." Seeing this situation, Hanbei spoke again, but this time it was more like speaking to the soldiers who were standing aside. "If you want to rush to Yanjin, I'm afraid it will be dark before the sun comes. In any case, there may be someone in the new territory who will be against you, so don't rush in the dark. And this family..." "..." "The master, Wakadouzimaru, is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his younger brother, Kichidouzimaru, is eleven or twelve years old. His sister's name is Fanghime, and she is a heroine among women. She was once married to the lord of Wakasa, Takeda Sunhachiro Motoaki, but she came back by herself." "The woman who came out to meet you just now..." Zuoji interjected from the side. Hanbei nodded lightly: "Fang Ji is one of the best beauties in Kita Omi, and she was favored by the Wakasa Takeda family. I heard that she made a condition before she got married, that is, she asked the Takeda family to avenge her family. The enemy is obviously Refers to Asai father and son. Sun Balang Yuanming begged hard and finally married Fang Ji. But Fang Ji later found that Yuan Ming had no such ambition and ability at all, and she had not yet committed herself to Yuan Ming, so she returned a few months ago. Such a place, It is suitable for adults to rest here... What do you think?" Hearing this, Toranosuke, who had been silent all the time, walked over to Sakichi. "It makes sense. My lord, please dismount. The lady of this family obviously came out to greet you because you avenged her family." Hideyoshi curled his lips: "You boy, it sounds like you are a slave here." He got off his horse, coughed heavily, and stood in front of Banbei. The sun has set and the lake is deep.Entering the courtyard, you can only hear the rustling of the bamboo forest in the wind.Hideyoshi finally understood why Hanbei emphasized that Aichi was the widow of the Asai family. In fact, Asai was just the elder of the Kyogoku family, and Hideyoshi was just an ordinary citizen of Owari Nakamura, a descendant of the Oda family's ashigaru samurai.From such a humble background, he has now become a new authority, and was welcomed into the door by a lady from the Kyogoku family... Thinking of this, his blood boils.Fang Jiruo looked at the vigorous Hideyoshi with deep meaning. "My lord, please come in." Hideyoshi was still 12 or 3 steps away from Fang Ji, and Fang Ji bowed her head and said, "The master Wakadouzimaru brought his servants to fish in order to welcome you to the humble house, but the little girl came here to welcome you. The little girl is Wakadōshimaru's older sister, named Afang. This is the master's younger brother Kichidōshimaru." Hideyoshi is even more convinced that Hanbei deliberately arranged all this.Fang Ji's black hair was very beautiful, and she exuded a faint fragrance all over her body.Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, she looked very docile and soft, and she never expected that she would break the engagement and return to her natal home. "The master went fishing on purpose to welcome me?" "Yes. You are very kind to my family. If you neglect, our ancestors will also blame us." "Thank you very much. Then, let's clean up." Hideyoshi and Hanbei stepped up the black and bright steps, while patting Kichidoushimaru's head.His mood lightened inexplicably.They were shown to a room overlooking the lake.Fang Ji has already left. "It's a rare sight... Is that Chikubu Island?" Hideyoshi asked Hanbei. "My lord... are you still satisfied?" "What satisfaction?" "Nearby scenery." "Not bad." "People are full of greed." "Oh." "You are so busy with military affairs that you have no time to appreciate the scenery, but always think about fighting and survival..." "Oh." "It's not easy to have free time, and I hope to have children and grandchildren so that my life can continue. This is all caused by human greed." "I know you want to talk about love." "When this feeling is right in front of you, it's better to indulge yourself." "That's not what Mr. said." "But you must keep your eyes open and choose a good woman patiently..." "I know." Hideyoshi waved his hand to stop Hanbei, he thought it was a bit unbelievable that he was so loud at the door just now. But Hanbei ignored it, "Irrational love can give birth to offspring, but there is no guarantee that things that threaten my life will not happen. One is a woman who is in a trance all day long because she misses her deceased husband, and the other is a woman who is full of gratitude to you." A woman who is not emotional, what choice will adults make? Should I choose blind emotion or rationality?" Hideyoshi waved his hand: "Sir, stop talking. You seem to be saying that this lady loves me." At this point, young servants came in one after another.After everyone sat down around Hideyoshi, the owner of the house, Wakadouzimaru, accompanied by a village girl, came over holding candlesticks.He still has forehead hair, looks immature, and greets shyly.After all, he is from a famous family, so his body exudes a noble temperament, but his clothes are different from his sister's, they look very rough. "Are you Mr. Wakadouzimaru?" Hideyoshi asked softly, but in his heart he seemed to be waiting for Fang Ji to come back.You can suggest to Nobunaga to let them restore their family reputation... This kind of topic, Hideyoshi wants to talk to Fang Ji more.But Fang Ji's figure never appeared again.Soon, the village girls served wine and rice. It was already dark outside the window, only the sound of waves could be heard.Toranosuke and other young people did not indulge in alcohol, but devoured their food.Hideyoshi finally smiled and said, "The specially caught carp is really delicious. You can eat it freely." After speaking, he suddenly pricked up his ears. From the next room came the sound of a thirteen-stringed zither.Hanbei looked at Hideyoshi, and said as if talking to himself: "It's true that this song should only exist in the sky." "good……" "I heard that Ms. Fang Ji's piano skills are superb. She is probably going to show off her piano skills." "Oh." Hideyoshi put down his rice bowl, looked at Wakadashimaru, "Can you let the lady come here and play a song for us?" "Yes. I'll go right away." Not long after Ruotongziwan left, the sound of the piano stopped.Several candlesticks were added to the room. "The carp, the sound of the piano, all these show that this family welcomes you very much." Hanbei said again.The village girl brought the piano, Fang Jifang walked in, her posture was soft and elegant, but she was graceful. "Ah!" Sakichi and Ichimatsu sighed in unison.Fang Ji had already changed into a kimono, making her look even more charming. With a face full of shame, she sat down in front of the piano. "Thank you for not giving up, the little girl would like to present a song." 〖Yueyin Mountain cloud flakes purple dye Don't fall in love Unlimited regret〗 Hideyoshi unknowingly touched his upper body, as if he had forgotten the existence of Hanbei.This is the man above man! The moon was shining brightly on the lake, Hanbei quietly closed his eyes, he was not so much admiring the sound of the piano, but trying to figure out Hideyoshi's heart.The young warriors also sat upright, listening intently. Fang Ji played two pieces of music, then withdrew.Her reservedness and shyness aroused Hideyoshi's greater interest.After the village girl carried the piano away, Hideyoshi finally calmed down and sighed, "Mr. Takenaka." "What's the matter, my lord?" "The world is so big, there are no surprises." "The moon is out, let them open the windows." "No, ask Fang Ji to come over and give her a glass of wine." Although Banbingwei thought so deeply, he said, "I don't think it's necessary..." "No, call her over..." "My lord," said Hanbei with a smile, "you seem to have suddenly regained your energy. Mr. Wakadouzimaru, since your lord said so, please call sister Ling over again." Wakadouzimaru got up and left. "Okay, everyone else go down and rest. We have to hurry tomorrow morning..." Hideyoshi returned to his usual casual look.He rejected the young warriors, what exactly did he want to say to Fang Ji?Banbei controlled his curiosity and waited quietly for Fang Ji.She will be here soon. "Fang Ji, your song made me so forgetful that I even forgot to pour you a glass of wine. Come, come closer, come..." Hideyoshi handed over the glass and said, "Mr. Takenaka. It's my first time too. Hearing such a good song! Come, come closer!" He lied without blushing, "I have something to discuss with you, Fang Ji." "My lord, please speak." "Your wish, Hideyoshi has been fulfilled for you. But it is far from enough. If the Kyogoku family can be revived, then—" "You mean..." "How about I recommend my younger brother to Lord Nobunaga?" Fang Ji looked up at Hideyoshi in surprise: "Is this true?" "Do you think I'm lying? That's exactly what I want to discuss with you." "Negotiation?" "Miss was originally the owner of Xiaogucheng. If Miss is willing to live in Xiaogucheng, I will recommend Wakadouzimaru to Nobunaga." Hanbei finally couldn't help laughing. "Hanbei, what are you laughing at?" "No, it's not ridiculous. I admire your lord's courage very much." Hideyoshi urged again: "Miss Fang Ji, have you decided?" "Live in Xiaogucheng..." Fang Ji finally understood the meaning of Hideyoshi's words, and her face flushed immediately. "You won't have any objections, Fang Ji? I won't deceive you. This matter will benefit and harm you siblings. Isn't Hashiba Hideyoshi worth relying on?" Since Hideyoshi's tone was so firm, how would Fang Ji respond?Hanbei looked at Wakadōkomaru curiously.Ruotongzi Wan seemed a little surprised.He opened his childish eyes and blushed, looking at everything in front of him.Obviously, Fang Ji and Ruo Tongzi had never heard such words. "Hanbei, what do you think?" Seeing that Fang Ji was silent, Hideyoshi turned to Banbei, "You can't stay out of it. Of course, I will never be satisfied with the territory of 180,000 shi. I want to use this as a base to strive for a bigger territory. Instead of admiring The afterglow of the setting sun is not as good as praising the beauty of the rising sun.” "I don't quite understand your words." Hanbei shook his head lightly. "You are not allowed to say that. Hideyoshi has taken your advice to heart." "Are you saying that the rising sun is better than the setting sun?" "Yes. Instead of choosing the vassals who have perished, it is better to choose the fallen master." "You are very clear in your calculations. But there is nothing I can do about it. Please do as you wish." Hideyoshi had no choice but to turn to Fang Ji: "If you think I'm too hasty and hasty, you're wrong. I'm just born with distinct likes and dislikes. You can make your own choice, and I won't be surprised by it. But if you hear an answer I don't want, I will be very disappointed." He has completely freed himself from the sentimentality that Ashi brought him, and he is only thinking about the present.This is Hideyoshi. There is a fate between people.Hanbei looked at all this calmly, to see if Hideyoshi and Fanghime were destined. Fang Ji raised her head suddenly.Bia's young and plump cheeks were tightly drawn, and his lips trembled slightly.Is she going to refuse?Hanbei thought to himself. "Since my lord said so..." "Agree?" Hideyoshi leaned out. "This is my luck in three lifetimes, how can I refuse..." "Yes, a man like me, Hideyoshi, begs you like that." "Begging? My lord was joking." "Then it's settled! Well, bring the jug, and I'll pour the wine myself." Hanbei didn't smile again, but bowed his head solemnly: "Congratulations, sir." "It's luck. Sure enough, it's better to talk about it face to face, right, Fang Ji?" Hideyoshi held up the wine glass in front of him and asked the trembling Fang Ji. Fang Ji took the cup, and she, who once married Son Hachiro Takeda for revenge, finally made up her mind to marry Hideyoshi for the revival of the Kyogoku family.Hideyoshi stared at Fang Ji tenderly, waiting for her to drink up the wine in her glass. How can a man who goes through life and death every day have time to pursue pure love?If he is busy chasing women every day, there will be no future achievements.After Fang Ji drank the wine in the glass, Hideyoshi said: "Sometimes, I also do stupid things." His expression suddenly became so serious that Hanbei couldn't help asking: "You mean about Fang Ji?" "No, no, it's Ah Shi. Although I rejected the lord, I wanted to beg him to give me Ah Shi." Banbei finally felt relieved: "That's because you are sincere, not stupid." "No no." Hideyoshi shook his head, "If I accept it, I will surely attract resentment." "Sure?" "That's right. In fact, Shibata is more suitable for Ashi. Nobunaga may entrust Ashi to him. How dangerous!" No longer sentimental about his love for Ashi, Hideyoshi has grasped the general situation correctly.Hanbei also believes that after being rejected by Hideyoshi, Aichi will marry Shibata Katsuya. "gentlemen." "what?" "The moonlight is good, look at the dots of silver on the surface of the lake." Hideyoshi got up and opened the window like a child, "I'm not bad either. A descendant of Genji Sasaki and a lady from the Kyogoku family will be my concubine." "Exactly..." Hanbei was about to say that Hideyoshi got a good doll, but shut his mouth hastily. Of course Fang Ji has her own goals, even if she is a doll, once a man like Hideyoshi likes her, he will never treat her roughly.It wasn't pure love, but it wasn't an unhappy union either. "Since you have made your decision, enter the bridal chamber tonight. But I will welcome you into Xiaogu City in a dignified manner in the future." "Miss is probably very happy." "After you come to my side, what should I call you? It's better to call me Mrs. Jingji."

"Are you jealous, sir?" "No, that should be a boudoir whisper between you and your wife." "Hahaha... It's a good night, even the husband can't choose what to say. Look, there are fish jumping on the lake."
