494. The new contract

Shibata Katsuya died, and a legend in Japan ended.

After learning about his death, a group of daimyos, including Shimazu Yoshihisa, Tachibana Soshima, and Maeda Takita family, came to Shibata Katsura's body to commemorate the bodies. For a time, the north seaside of Kanino Castle was desolate, and silver was covered in batches.

Whether it is said that these people, rabbits die and foxes are sad, or that these people, cats cry and rats, they only know that in the hearts of those who pay homage to Shibata Katsuya on the beach, there is definitely sorrow and joy in the hearts of all, and each has its own knots.

No matter what position and relationship it has with Shibata Katsuya, the dead are the most important, and there is no need to investigate all the grudges, love and revenge, right?

I'm here too and am going to send Shibata Katsuya to a trip. Over the years, my relationship with him has changed a few times. In general, I can't be considered a enemy of Haruka, and of course I can't be considered a good teacher or friend. In general, my relationship is open and I don't deal with it when I'm alive. I don't hate him when he dies, and I can't say I'm applauding.

A person's breath is a stick of incense. The incense burns, and the person lives; the incense is destroyed, and the person is gone. All kinds of cause and effect are in the hearts of the people. Do more good deeds when they are alive, and cultivate more virtue when they die.

There was a white flower on my chest, wearing a green plain clothes, and taking Jiugui Masayoshi off the boat alone to the beach, and slowly walked towards the coffin wrapped in white cloth.

Seeing my arrival, the people on both sides of the road made aside their strange expressions and watched me step by step towards the person I was indirectly sent away.

Or, his remains.

People who know me feel strange in their hearts. Isn’t it what I really hope to see the death of Shibata Katsuya? In addition, now they are enemies, not friends, so what is the meaning of saying goodbye to the body?

But then again, how to treat me is not something they should consider, so except for a few familiar people who greet me, the others just nodded at most. In order to avoid suspicion, Shimazu Yoshihisa just nodded and finally added: "You are here."

I nodded: "I'm here."

Shimazu Yoshihisa didn't say anything anymore. Such an attitude is actually good to all of us and there is no pressure on them, right?

I stopped talking, and just held my head up, walked to the coffin of Shibata Katsushima's house, and then saw a person sitting on a chair next to the coffin, drinking and drinking lightly.

It was actually Hideyoshi Hashiba. He looked up and saw me, seemed to smile, and pointed to the opposite side of the small table and said, "I have worshipped Kazuki, just sit down."

Without saying a word, I stepped to the coffin of Shibata Katsuki's family and took the paper money handed to me by Maeda Taki's family, I looked at Maeda Taki's family deeply.

When I came into contact with my gaze, Maeda Takiya seemed to be stunned for a moment, then a hint of anger flashed, then faded, slowly lowered her head, and stopped looking at me: "Buy some paper for the Katsuya."

His voice was very light, like the breeze blowing in the air.

I gently took the paper money and smiled faintly, "No matter how glorious I have after death, I will be for living people to see. What's the point?"

Maeda Taki's face looked embarrassed, but he didn't dare to look up. At that time, he lowered his head, but silently kept silent.

In the final analysis, he betrayed Shibata Katsue. Although people didn't talk about him in person, he always felt deep guilt and shame in his heart, even though it was just for survival.

If I didn't look at the Maeda Tatsuya, I put the paper money in the brazier and burned it. I came to the small table without looking back, looked at Hideyoshi Hashiba and sat opposite him.

"I haven't seen each other for several years, Kiran." Hideyoshi Hashiba pushed a wine glass and said with infinite emotion: "You are more heroic, but I am old!"

I picked up the wine he poured and tasted it, spit it on the ground on the side, shook my head and said, "The war is tense, I didn't expect that Hideyoshi's life is so hard. Masato!"

Jiugui Masayoshi immediately walked up and took out two bottles of wine from his bag behind him and placed it on the table.

I knocked open the mud seal of a bottle of wine with a bang, took two new cups from the small table next to me, and then poured a cup for myself and Hideyoshi: "Thirty years of age, Hideyoshi will taste it together."

As he said that, he picked up the cup and gently raised it to Hideyoshi Hashiba. The first cup was sprinkled in front of him, and before the coffin of Shibata Katsuya, he poured himself a full cup, and then he drank it all.

Seeing that I was drinking so happily, Hideyoshi Hashiba was completely worried. She raised her head and drank the same thing. Then she made a "high" sound from her mouth. While the people around her came forward nervously, he exclaimed: "Good wine! What a strong wine!"

I smiled softly: "If Hideyoshi likes it, I will send you some more, otherwise it will be really hard to bear if it takes a long time."

Hashiba Hideyoshi was overjoyed, slapped the table a few times, and said with a smile: "Okay! After you bring it over, I will have someone give the Satoshi two bottles too!"

I remained silent, stared at the coffin of Shibada Katsuya for a while, and then looked at the generals and guards of the Hashiba Army behind me.

Seeing my expression, Hashiba Hideyoshi immediately understood and waved to those people. Everyone immediately retreated, leaving us with space for conversation in about 30 meters.

"Ki Lan! It's been seven years since we parted, but I wonder what you have to give me this time?" Hashiba Hideyoshi pinched the wine glass and slowly turned it in his hand, looking very relaxed and slightly lonely.

"The Sheng family is dead, and you will be the only king in Japan from now on. How dare I give advice?" I smiled faintly and sipped the wine in my glass.

"Hmph, you can joke with people." Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head: "Shibata Katsuya and I are just a match. He died like this. It's not a matter of a moment. The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the rabbit dies and the fox is sad!"

I smiled silently, moved my eyes to the sea without making any sound, my warship was swimming there.

Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly sighed: "Kei Lan, what are your plans next?"

"Plan?" I looked at Hideyoshi with interest: "What are you referring to?"

"Of course, it means the next question of whether we are fighting or harmony." Hashiba Hideyoshi's face was calm: "You and I are also simple knowledge, so don't bend around the bush, just say it."

I looked at Hideyoshi and wanted to see from his eyes that I wanted the sincerity I wanted, but it didn't disappoint me. He was very sincere.

"What about you? Are you still planning to spend it in Goryeo?" I asked without answering.

Hideyoshi Hashiba smiled strangely: "The situation is different now than when I came here. Once the Katsuki family dies, I have no worries in the country. It is a great time for the unification of the world. How can I stay here and postpone it? Just..."

He looked at me and thought: "But if I retreat like this, I am afraid that the outside world thinks that I am forced by the situation and have to leave. I may have an adverse impact on my great cause of unity."

"There will definitely be something. It is better to chase the enemy with the remaining courage. Don't seek fame and learn from the overlords. Li Rusong and Li Shunchen won't let you go so easily." I replied.

"So I need a contract!" Hashiba Hideyoshi said excitedly: "It must be a contract between me and the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can I evacuate quickly and return to Japan without leaving any tail."

"This is probably not easy. The Ming Dynasty and Goryeo have deep grudges with Japan. Once the Satoshi family dies, you will be the only target. It's just that momentum is like a rainbow, and I'm afraid I won't make a contract so easily." I poured cold water on Hideyoshi again.

What surprised me was that Hideyoshi was very confident: "No, I will definitely be able to successfully get the contract!"

I am interested: "Why are you so confident?"

Hideyoshi laughed: "Because of you!"

I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "I am the navy admiral of the Ming Dynasty."

Hideyoshi still looked happy: "You are just like you, and you are just like you are not your official position. You are not like this? You are not such an unrealistic person."

I smiled and asked, "Why is that real?"

Hideyoshi replied with a smile: "You help me make a play and get a contract, and I will help you leave a way out to report the interests of a country. How about it?"

We looked at each other for a long time, and no one spoke. I couldn't help but think in my heart, "Hashiba Hideyoshi, I really underestimated you, but I didn't expect you to see through the situation I am currently in."

Unfortunately, the era of relying on the stability of the Japanese market has long passed for me. Now I do not rely on any market in the world, because my power is evenly spread throughout the world, and I can survive wherever I go.

Seeing me sarcastically, Hideyoshi Hashiba more or less guessed what I was thinking. Knowing that this bargaining chip was too small and insignificant for me, I added again: "In addition, I will ask the Emperor to give you an official position, at least not lower than my current standards."

I hummed softly: "Hyuki, come on with your sincerity. You should know that I have no interest in what you said. Even if Japan does not have a trace of my power, I can overturn the entire four islands of Japan, right?"

Hideyoshi looked at me for a while and suddenly sighed: "I know I can't look down on you. Okay, let me tell you the truth-Qi Lan, you have a hard time in the Ming Dynasty. Although I seem to be glorious in Japan, I am actually full of crises. Do you know where the problem is?"

He actually tested me.

So I beat him very simply: "Of course I know - you have no successor."

Hashiba Hideyoshi's face was dull, but I didn't expect that the crux of the trouble he had been troubled by him for a long time would be revealed by me. When I spoke again, my tone became much more depressed: "Yes, that child of Hidea is indeed not a general, but unfortunately I don't trust the adopted son at all."

I nodded without saying a word, Hideyoshi continued, "My health has been getting worse every year over the years. If I heard that the weak Shuilai had to face the old foxes on all sides alone in a hundred years, I would feel very unbearable!"

"So what is the purpose of telling me this?" I smiled with a smile on my lips.

"I want to ask you for your orphan! Kiran." Hashiba Hideyoshi suddenly accelerated his tone: "I suddenly felt very worried when I saw the fate of the Satoshi family. If I come to this day one day, can I keep my family business with Hirai for the rest of my life? It will definitely not work."

"Can I just do it?" I asked back.

"You can do it!" Hideyoshi replied entrustedly: "I hope you can help my children at critical moments and make them capable of fighting those old foxes. Of course, what I will give is to give you the same power as me - in the whole of Japan."

After saying that, he asked again: "Is this chip enough?"

I shook my head and asked, "Why choose me?"

Hideyoshi did not shy away: "Because you are loyal, brave, capable, and wise, and more importantly, we recognize each other, and for Japan, you are an outsider after all, and you have no meaning to be involved in the supreme, right?"

I nodded and said, "You can see clearly. Well, I am indeed the most familiar with you in Japan. I don't like anyone else going up. Just do that. As for the peace talks between you and the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo, I have nothing to help you. I can't let me turn the gun and deal with my own people!"

Hideyoshi laughed: "There is nothing scary about these people. As long as you don't take action, keep watching. I want to ask you to see what it means to sign a contract like a storm!"

Interestingly, what is this household planning to do? I didn’t say much to him, but I left a way out for the things that we worry about the most. Suddenly, I felt that communicating with high-ranking people was really a pleasant thing, and I appreciate such efficient and negotiation methods.

More importantly, in this way, my rear is basically stable, and I also have the time and energy to go to the Greater Xing'anling in Northeast China to do something that I want to do and need to do...
