I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

"Lord Toyotomi!"

At this time, a certain voice, louder than anyone else's, suddenly sounded, suppressing the voices of all the people at the banquet.

The owner of this loud voice is a fat young man with big ears.

I saw him take a sip of wine into his mouth, and then shouted to Toyotomi Nobuhide with emotion:

"We are really honored to be able to participate in the great cause of revival of Toyotomi!"

This person spoke eloquently and published a long speech.

To sum up the content of this fat-headed young man's long speech, the general meaning is to flatter Toyotomi Nobuhide.

From the ancestors of Toyotomi Nobuhide, who remembered "Reviving Toyotomi" from generation to generation, to Toyotomi Nobuhide himself.

After taking a lot of flattery, he said impassionedly with an upright look:

"Lord Toyotomi! In order to be able to contribute to this great cause that is destined to be famous in history, and to repay your kindness, all the members of Shiranui Li and I will definitely be heartbroken for Lord Toyotomi!"

Since the young man flattered him frantically, Toyotomi Nobuhide has been looking at him with a smile.

It wasn't until the person's voice fell that Toyotomi Nobuhide nodded:

"Kikutaro, thank you. I was very moved by what you said just now."

"But it's a coincidence, Kikutaro. I just happen to have a mission for you right now."

The young man or Kikutaro was stunned for a while, then quickly reacted, and said quickly:

"Lord Toyotomi! Please tell me! No matter what the task is, I will definitely do it!"

"I recently heard that many ninjas from Shiranui have criticized me in recent days."

"I said that since I accepted you as part of Toyotomi's army, I have been ignoring you all the time, without giving you any chance to show off."

"I can understand your desire to be loyal to me as soon as possible."

"But there are indeed no tasks that are very suitable for you to perform in Shiranui. Asking you to do tasks that are not suitable for you is like killing a chicken with a bull's knife."

"So I hope you can understand me too."

"Kikutaro, can you help me explain to everyone in Shiranui afterwards?"

"This is the mission I gave you."

As soon as Toyotomi Nobuhide finished speaking, a slight embarrassment appeared on Kikutaro's face.

"Yes." Kikutaro said hastily, "I will definitely warn those idiots who don't know your hard work, Mr. Toyotomi!"

As for the embarrassed Kikutaro, many people in the banquet looked at him nakedly and mockingly.

What's more, he directly whispered to the person next to him:

"These remnants in Shiranui are getting more and more ridiculous."

Kikutaro's flattery just now, and Toyotomi Nobuhide's mission to Kikutaro, can be regarded as a small episode at the banquet.

After being given that embarrassing task by Toyotomi Nobuhide, Kikutaro became a lot quieter, eating and drinking quietly all the time.

And just now, after someone opened the topic of "Battle of Osaka", the rest of the people at the table have been discussing this topic enthusiastically.

"Master Jijiu, he should be a class teacher by now, right?"

"Well, it should be almost the same time."

"Hmph." Someone let out a smug laugh, "Whether it's Osaka or Ogata Isai, it should be over by now. The defenders of Osaka and Ogata Isai, how can it be our musketeers No matter how much that Ogata Istosai can fight, can he still beat a musket?"

This person's smug laughter hadn't stopped before he heard someone retort:

"That's hard to say."

It was none other than Toyotomi Nobuhide who refuted this person.

Toyotomi Nobuhide gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly:

"That Ogata Ittosai is a great swordsman after all. He can defeat the [-]-strong army of the shogunate. Even if he is no match for muskets, he can escape with his agility."

"I just hope that if that Ogata Yidaosai escapes, he doesn't escape to a place where he can't find anything."

After finishing speaking, Toyotomi Nobuhide let out a full-bodied laugh.

Many people at the table laughed along with Toyotomi Nobuhide.

After Toyotomi Nobuthide made such a headline, the topic turned to Ogata.

Many people echoed Toyotomi Nobuhide and spoke one after another:

"Speaking of which, Ogata Yidao Zhai is really capable of hiding. We spent so much effort looking for him before, but we couldn't find him."

"When we sent a large number of Iga ninjas to find him, he should be in Ezo. The time just happened to be right. When he defeated the [-] troops of the shogunate, it happened that the Iga ninjas we sent were in full swing across the country. When looking for him everywhere."

"That Ogata Yidaosai is indeed quite capable of escaping! If that guy really escapes, don't escape to a place where you haven't even heard the name of the place!"

"According to information, doesn't that Ogata Issai still have a wife? Hmph, I don't know if that Ogata Isai will leave his wife in Osaka and run away by himself."

"It shouldn't be so, that Ogata Iktosai is unlikely to do such a thing."

"Once a person is in danger, he can do anything! Who knows if Ogata Yidao Zhai is also a character like Tang Tu's Liu Bang, who kicked children out of the car in order to escape!"

"Well, what you said makes sense."

All the banquet guests who used Ogata as a talking point to their heart's content and had a heated discussion about "Ogata's escape" filled the banquet with a happy atmosphere.

However, at this time

"Lord Toyotomi! There is an urgent report!"

A male ninja dressed as an Iga ninja walked quickly along the tunnel and entered the cave.

Toyotomi Nobuhide, who was about to hand the wine glass to his lips, gave a pause.

"Urgent report? Who sent the urgent report?"

"It's Mr. Yoshihisa"

Toyotomi Nobuhide raised his eyebrows, then raised his hand at the man.

The comprehensible Ninja walked quickly to Toyotomi Nobuhide's side, bowed his head, and whispered something in Toyotomi Nobuhide's ear.

After the male ninja whispered, the smile on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Chapter 700 About the bragging incident with Ogata 【5100】

When Toyotomi Nobuhide greeted the ninja to come forward, everyone in the table visibly shut down their chatter, making the originally very lively atmosphere immediately quiet down.

Everyone is not blind, and they all naturally saw the wonderful change of expression on Toyotomi Nobuhide's face at this moment.

"Lord Toyotomi." Sitting in the second seat, Master Xianyuan frowned and asked Toyotomi Nobuhide, "What happened?"

Toyotomi Nobuhide did not immediately respond to Master Xianyuan's questioning.

He lowered his eyes, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

It wasn't until a while later that he gently put down the wine glass in his hand, then turned his head and whispered something to the Iga man who was still waiting beside him.

After Toyotomi Nobuhide's lips left the ninja's ear, the ninja nodded his head vigorously and answered "Yes" loudly, and then left along the way he came at a fast speed cave

"Go ahead and eat."

Toyotomi Nobuhide grabbed the purple-handled sword beside him and a jug of wine on the table in front of him, and stood up.

"I'm going to take care of some things, and I'll be back later."

After leaving these words, Toyotomi Nobuhide left no time for anyone to react, and left the banquet scene and the cave like a gust of wind, carrying the jug of wine that he had just brought from his desk.

After leaving the secret cave built by their Toyotomi family, Toyotomi Nobuhide walked straight to a certain dense forest in the northeast without stopping.

There are many reasons why Toyotomi Nobuhide chose Mount Koya to establish their Toyotomi clan's largest secret base in Japan.

One of the main reasons is that among the continuous mountains of Koyasan, there are too many, too many "undeveloped areas" that are inaccessible.

It's easy to set up a secret base in Koyasan that no one knows.

After years of secret construction, many parts of Koyasan have been transformed into strongholds of the Toyotomi clan.

For example: the cave where Nobuhide Toyotomi and the others held a banquet just now.

Another example: Toyotomi Nobuhide is currently entering this dense forest.

Toyotomi Nobuhide went all the way to the very depths of the dense forest, until he came to the side of a certain big rock, and finally stopped. Sit on it, and then close your eyes, as if resting your mind.

All of a sudden, the sound of trampling on dead branches and fallen leaves came from the dim path beside Toyotomi Nobuhide.

"Jijiu. Just now, I couldn't believe my ears when I heard from the ninja who came to report that Lord Yoshihisa had returned and that the suppression of Ogata Ittosai failed and the entire army suffered heavy casualties."

Toyotomi Nobuhide slowly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the path where the sound of stepping on dead branches and fallen leaves was constantly heard.

In this dim path, there are 2 figures walking towards Toyotomi Nobuhide, one in front and one behind.

The leader is the ninja who reported to Toyotomi Nobuthide just now.

And the person who walked behind was Toyotomi Nobuhide's confidant, Yoshihisa who was granted the right to command the front line of the "Osaka Spring Battle and Koo Operation" by Toyotomi Nobuhide.

At this moment, Ji Jiu, with a pale face, has haggardness and fatigue that cannot be hidden no matter what.

The current Yoshihisa is more like an ordinary old man than "Toyotomi Nobuhide's confidant", one of the "Three Demons", and "Iga no Sato's current commander".

Toyotomi Nobuhide winked at the ninja who came to report to him just now and now led Yoshihisa who had just returned to see him.

The male ninja, who understood the meaning of Toyotomi Nobuhide's eyes, quickly walked away from the sight of Toyotomi Nobuhide and Yoshihisa.

After the male ninja left, Yoshihisa rushed to Toyotomi Nobuhide in three steps and two steps with a sad face, and knelt down on the ground.

"Master Toyotomi is very sorry"

Yoshihisa just had time to say "Sorry" when he was interrupted by Toyotomi Nobuhide raising his hand.

"Hold on."

"Before getting down to business"

Toyotomi Nobuhide stuffed the jug of wine that had just arrived from the banquet into Yoshihisa's arms.

"You must be tired after rushing back from Osaka non-stop."

Speaking of this, Toyotomi Nobuhide took a special look at Yoshiku's slightly peeled and bloodless lips.

"Drink something to clear your breath first."

Yoshihisa looked at the flagon in his arms and then at Toyotomi Nobuhide in front of him.

The shame, nervousness, and tiredness hanging on Ji Jiu's cheeks disappeared a lot.

"Thank you sir"

After thanking him, Ji Jiu held up the jug in his hand, and Niu drank from the jug.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Jiu, who hadn't had a good rest since last night and was already extremely thirsty, drank the flagon upside down.

After Yoshihisa put down the jug in his hand, Toyotomi Nobuhide said in a tone like an order:

"I didn't ask you to come to hear you say sorry to me."

"What happened to the battle in Osaka, please tell me in detail."

"Yes." After drinking a jug of wine, Ji Jiu's face turned ruddy, and his voice became more moderate.

Too many things happened in Osaka last night.

But fortunately, although Jijiu is old, his head and lips are very organized.

Yoshihisa summarized everything he knew to Toyotomi Nobuhide in as simple a sentence as possible.

From the surprise attack by Genichi and others at Ryusui Temple in the main camp, to the time when he went to join the left and right gates, he only encountered remnants of soldiers who had been defeated by Ogata Ittosai.

When Yoshihisa was talking, Toyotomi Nobuhide listened quietly with a peaceful expression.

No matter whether it was hearing that the woman was killed in battle, the whereabouts of the left and right gates were unknown, or that the troops encircling and suppressing Ogata were defeated by Ogata, Toyotomi Nobuhide didn't even twitch his brows.

He was only in one place, and his expression moved slightly when he heard Yuan Yi leading the people suddenly appear in Longshui Temple.

"The morale has been drained. I don't think there is any chance of winning if we continue to fight. So I decided to gather all the remnants, evacuate from Osaka, and return to Koyasan to join your army."
