When night fell, the noisy Kaneno Castle gradually became quiet, and everything seemed to have returned to peace.

The only place where there was movement was the open space inside the West City Gate. Something was vaguely moving beside the stone pillar, and the guards guarded next to him looked nervous and stared at the direction of the stone pillar.

A person slowly walked towards the city lord's mansion. He had solid steps, not big strides, and not high frequency. His destination was the stone pillar.

When he walked up to him, he stopped gently and looked at the stone pillar without moving.

"Meet again." The man said.

A man sat next to the stone pillar, covered in blood, tied with thick iron chains. When he heard the man speak, he slowly raised his head.

"Yes. We met again." He said. He heard the sound. It was Shibata Katsue: "We have fought for decades, and today we finally decided to win. Are we happy?"

"No, there is no joy, but there is more regret." The answer was a fellow Shibata Katsuki, who was shaking a fire, and it was Hanshi Hideyoshi who showed his face.

"Superficial people can always laugh at the end, right?" Shibata Katsuya smiled calmly and gently shook the chain on his hand: "But, will your future be better than mine? I'm just waiting quietly in that world, watching, seeing when you will come."

"Yes, once a person dies, you will wait for me." Hashiba Hideyoshi slowly sat down opposite Shibata Katsuki's house, looking at the bloody but still energetic old opponent, sighing: "We are all old, we are all old!"

"Haha, I am fifty and I am not considered a premature death. I have been in the world in my life, and even if I die here today, it would be a loss." Shibata Katsuya looked relaxed and did not seem melancholy and painful in his words.

"We have known each other for forty years." Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly asked after a while.

"Forty-two years, we have known each other forty-two years." Shibata Katsuya replied with a sigh.

"Yes, forty-two years. At that time, Nobunaga, you and I, are so young. Haha, it's so good to be young." Shibata Katsuya suddenly laughed and said, "I said monkey, come to me a bar. This is the case with the wind and the moon. Let's have a drink together."

"Haha, okay. Brother, you have this intention, but I am also in this intention." As he said that, he took out two bottles from behind, pulled out the stopper with a "bang", and handed it to Shibata Katsuya. After pulling out the other bottle, he took it in his hand, handed it over and touched Shibata Katsuya slightly. The two of them raised their heads together and took a sip.

"If Nobunagata was still alive, what would you think it would be like now?" Shibata Katsuya asked suddenly, looking up at the moon in the sky, his eyes were circulating, and after asking, he fell silent again.

"If the lord is still alive, it will be unified today!" Hashiba Hideyoshi said softly.

"Yes, with the lord's great wisdom, unification of the world is only the first step. His ambition is probably in the world!" Shibata Katsuya said, picking up the bottle and taking another sip.

Hashiba Hideyoshi glanced at Shibata Katsuki, took a sip at the same time, and said softly: "Yes, if you are tying the world, conquering all directions, overwhelming the heroes, and domineering the world, I am indeed not as good as my lord. If he is still alive, the unification of the world is inevitable, and we should still be friends."

"Haha, friend?" Shibata Katsuya patted his thighs heavily and smiled hard, "Monkey, have you ever regarded me as a friend?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi was silent again. He also put down the wine bottle and stared at Shibata Katsuya quietly. After a long time, he said, "The lord gave me the surname of Kinoshita. This is the greatest favor to me and opened the door to my lifelong struggle. Later, he gave me the right to give myself a surname, and the surname I gave myself was - Hashiba."

Shibata Katsuya was speechless, while Hashiba Hideyoshi continued to speak, but his voice was full of affection: "This word Yu is taken from the surname Niba Nagahide; as for this word Yu, it is taken from you, Lord Shibata!"

Shibata Katsuya chuckled: "Of course I know that you are better than the best now."

Hashiba Hideyoshi raised the bottle and touched Shibata Katsuya again, and his voice lowered again: "I don't know what to say, but to be fair, although I won, I would rather I didn't."

"Why? What else are you not satisfied with as a winner?" Shibata Katsue said disdainfully.

"Who else can be the enemy of you and me in the world? Without you, I am lonely!" Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed.

"Haha, that's not the case." Shibata Katsuya comforted Hideyoshi Hashiba: "I'm 63 years old this year, and you're fifty-three years old. In terms of health, you're not as good as me. I've been feeling so tired lately. I'm afraid that even if I win today, God can't give me much lifespan."

"Yes! You're honest. I felt that I was full of strength before, but since I came to Goryeo and changed the soil, I suddenly felt that I was in poor health. Recently, I often woke up from asthma at night, but I woke up but couldn't sleep anymore. I opened my eyes until dawn!"

Shibata Katsuya smiled and touched the bottle with Hashiba Hideyoshi: "So, you don't have to worry too much. I'm waiting for you there. When you come, let's have a drink together!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi's eyes flashed, and he looked at Shibata Katsuya and said, "After drinking this wine, you can leave."

"Don't you kill me?" Shibata Katsuya seemed to hear the ridiculous joke in the world, and said with a humming smile: "Can you feel at ease if you let me go?"

"Safe? I'm not at ease, it's just a few years. Without you, I'm lonely. This is not a false statement." Hideyoshi Hashiba looked up at the sky.

"Hi." Shibata Katsuya's expression declined: "What's the point of leaving me? Now that the team has dispersed, there are not one son left, leaving me alone in this world, I'm afraid it's better to die if I live. So I have understood your kindness, but I don't have to let me go."

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Shibata Katsuya and sighed and asked, "Didn't you keep any of the five children?"

Shibata Katsuya asked, "What's the point of staying what you don't want to stay?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi was speechless, Shibata Katsuya suddenly smiled, and his words were very relaxed: "Hideyoshi, where is your child? You're not worried!"

"Oh!" Hashiba Hideyoshi sighed, his expression very declining: "You guy and I are usually sad about this, and at most it is a little better."

As he said that, he looked up and drank the remaining wine in one sip, and took out another bottle from behind, opening it: "Several adopted sons, somehow, one of them was not kept, dead, and the beauty was gone. God felt sorry for me, Hashishi, and gave me a real son, Hirai, a pity..."

Seeing that Hashiba Hideyoshi looked sad, Shibata Katsuya asked, "What's wrong? The child is in poor health?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi shook her head and said, "The body is OK, but I don't know who to follow in my mind. In my opinion, the future is definitely not a general. I am afraid that one day, I will not be able to take on a great task if I stay in Hidela a hundred years later!"

Shibata Katsuya sighed at him: "The child is still young, don't blame him too much. It will be better when he grows up!"

But Hashiba Hideyoshi shook his head again and said, "The ancients said that it is the age of three to look at the age of seven to look at the age of seven to look at the age of seven to look at the age of seven to be very brave. This child is extremely brave and has never been able to learn from his knowledge. I am afraid that my worries are not false. The worries in the future are not under your despair now, brother!"

Shibata Katsuya was speechless and asked after a long time, "Can you not have another one?"

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Shibata Katsuya and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you have always known my situation. My health has never been good. Having this child is considered a great gift from God, but now he is middle-aged, so it is normal that he cannot be born again."

Shibata Katsuya took a sip of wine and sighed, "All this is fate. Monkey, earlier or later, people will have the day when they close their eyes. Don't think so much. No matter how much you think, there will always be a day when you can't control you or move!"

Hideyoshi Hashiba took a big sip of wine, raised his head, wiped his mouth, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, the lord often sings, no, life is only fifty years, and the days of the past are like a dream. How can anyone in the world have immortality? There are so many things in the world, there are gains in the east and losses in the west. Things in the world are just like this!"

"Haha!" Shibata Katsuya nodded and said, "That's right, brother, we are both people who are in the world!"

"You go, man, after decades of friendship, you should live your old age peacefully. Let's go!" Hashiba Hideyoshi said again.

"Forget it, monkey, I'll take over my heart, I won't leave! I won't leave! Life is just like this, it's a relief to end here!" Shibata Katsuyaki said, and raised his head and drank the remaining wine.

Hashiba Hideyoshi looked at Shibata Katsuya and didn't say anything for a long time. He really didn't want to kill Shibata Katsuya-looking at his silver hair, Hideyoshi asked himself that he really couldn't do it.

"You go! Monkey, I am a warrior, I only ask for a way to die for one warrior." Shibata Katsuya spoke.

"Yes." Hideyoshi Hashiba nodded and said in a deep voice: "Brother, since you are so dedicated, I won't talk much anymore. Since that's the case, you can take a few steps first, and a few days first. When I finish my life, I will go downstairs to find you. Let's drink and have fun, so good?"

"Okay! One word is determined!" Hashiba Hideyoshi raised her head, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in her eyes. He also raised his head, drank the second bottle of wine, and stood up.

He stood, looked at Shibata Katsuya sitting on the ground, nodded, took out a small bottle from behind, placed it at Shibata Katsuya's feet, and after putting it on the ground, he calmed his hands and raised his hands again.

"If there is a next life, I hope we can be called true friends." After Hashiba Hideyoshi said that, he left without looking back.

"If there is still a next life, hey, don't have a next life." Shibata Katsuya laughed softly, slowly looked down at the small bottle, and gently picked it up.

"The end of life, walking quietly is also the greatest honor for warriors!" The voice slowly spread around with a bitter smile.

The cold wind blew, and the night was deep.
