◇ ◇
Chang 'an Okubo is coming to a meeting in the name of "Greeting" with Souyoshi Ishida, a representative of the Toyotomi family. Now he is the lord of gold and silver procurement for the Tokugawa family, Ishimi Ginzan, Sado Kanayama, and Izu's Kanayama and their development in its hands, and, on top of that, reigns at the top of the Tokugawa family's financial management as an account service.
In other words, the Tokugawa family is big enough to get into five fingers.
Precisely with the momentum of dropping the flying bird, its power was strengthened day by day, and although there were so many enemies because of it, once he walked down the corridors of Edo Castle and Fushimi Castle, the hustle and bustle around him stopped naturally, and no one in the Tokugawa family could defy him more than to bow their heads and pave the way for him now.
That was him, but even if he is now facing the representative of the Toyotomi family, he is sometimes casting a shadow in the corner of his heart.
- Every other day... and that's another step closer to 'dreaming' here...
It's...
The face of one young woman...
No, it's not just that innocent smile of hers that's in his chest. Many people's smiles were also breathing in the root part of his heart.
But it was supposed to be colored and glowing, and they were all in the black and white world.
"By the way... I need to ask you something first, okay?
The first cut out was Cheung An Okubo, who was sitting deeply in the chair with his arms firmly in place.
Zong Ying, with his elbows tied to his desk to hide his mouth, allowed it in a gentle tone.
"Yeah... whatever"
"Then let's hear it. How's that guy?
"Who's that guy?
"It's not good to be stuck. It will be decided."
Chang 'an's eyes glare at Soyoshi. It was a gaze that overwhelmed the mind of the beholder, but Soo-yong was like a surface of water engulfed in silence that would not even stand, even if he took it directly from the front.
"Do you mean Naoto-chan Tamaru..."
"You know what I mean. I heard that the man was transferred here from Echigo, the land of distribution, without the Lord's permission.
Let's be honest about where we are and what we're doing now. "
Naotaka Tamaru learns about one end of Changan's secret. At the time he was taken up to Kyoji Otani, the secret had already been passed on to Toyotomi, but as for Chang 'an, it was true that he wanted to keep it within his sight.
Because even if secrets are divulged from the rich minister, the information is from the outside world, and with one of his actions, it is easy to avoid leaving the "rumor" domain.
But if that Naotaka Tamaru has fallen into the hands of one of his political enemies… i.e. Honda Masayoshi, a genuine parent and son, that could be the deadly stain.
Chang 'an had decided that he had to avoid it at all costs.
It's all about making his dream come true...
In other words, to color the black and white smiles of the people around you again...
He had to take Naotaka Tamaru back for his righteousness.
But there is no reason for Soo-yong in front of him to know, such as in his chest.
Soo-yong turned his calm eyes and answered him.
"Being transferred… means people are not listening well.
He came to Kyo by order of Hideji Hori, now his depositary at the time of his death.
It just so happens that the escort was Toyota's college assistant (about Yoshiji Otani), and Naokicha and Toyota have no connection whatsoever "
"So Naotaka Tamaru doesn't have the Toyotomi in his possession... is that what you would say?
Soo-yong's eyes narrowed slightly, it must be because a slight anxiety peeked into Changan's eyes.
It is the tone that is stronger in Chang 'an, but it was obviously Zong Ying who is controlling this place at this point.
Needless to say, Naoto Tamaru's anxiety is that he was already deposited with one of the Tokugawa families, and Soyo was keenly discerning in that regard.
Soo-yong also once had the experience of surrounding himself with political enemies and putting his life at risk many times. The opponents who had to fight to do their justice knew that they were inside, not outside.
"Yeah... it's also something that I have trouble with Hideji Hori. Although I asked for an escort from the university assistant, I left the world without assurance as to where I was going..."
Chang 'an increasingly darkens the color of anxiety. Even with that facial expression, Sou-yong does not miss out on his eyes.
Chang 'an is also aware of the matter, but the emotions that boil from the bottom of his heart could not be contained in any way.
"So who is it now deposited with?
In response to this inquiry, Zong Yong stared at Chang 'an's face without responding immediately.
There can no longer be anyone in the Tokugawa family who can speak out to Chang 'an, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is nothing under heaven that will not do what he says. In this world, Sosei in front of him is trying to take full advantage over him.
The matter had relentlessly trampled on Changan's self-esteem, but he was still desperate to survive the scene by eating his teeth for what he had to accomplish.
That desperation would also be conveyed to Soyong. He inquired in a serene tone, as usual, staring at Chang 'an.
"But I don't care what happens to the monk now, isn't it something that has nothing to do with Lord Ishimi (about Chef Okubo)?
Why are you asking about him in this "greeting" place...
Can you tell us why? "
Chang 'an looks into Sou Yong's eyes. But a man named Souyoshi Ishida is a man who has experienced equal glory and frustration more than half of Changan's life.
Peeping some emotion or thought out of his eyes must be difficult, even if it is now Tokugawa Jiayang.
Regardless, I couldn't feel anything at Chang 'an.
But Daikubo, on the other hand, is also a rare man who rose from a monkey musician to the old middle of the Tokugawa family.
He decided to take a step forward with his stomach full.
In other words, by listening to the whereabouts of this one man named Naotaka Tamaru, he had first guessed and measured what he should decide, but he decided to give an answer to it.
It's...
Toyotomi is from an ally to an enemy, and to himself, up or down...
And he decided to bet on one answer by believing in his intuition.
When you decide on your belly, the color of your eyes changes. At that moment, Soo-yong's thin eyes faintly grew.
"There is someone that the man saw and heard that should not be leaked.
I need you to hand them over to me before they cross over.
You're right... please "
When Changan corrected his posture, he loosened his arms and bowed his head to Soyo.
I mean, what is the answer he led...
- I'll take the Toyotomi side.
That was it.
Untie the two hands that Soo-yong had also tied, and his mouth will be revealed.
To the extent that there was no disgust there, it was loose.
And he spoke in a serene tone to Chang 'an.
"Raise your head, Lord Ishimi. Don't worry. The Temple of Tamaru is now deposited in a temple called Anma Temple.
If you are a monk who leans on the breathtaking temple of the Toyotomi family, you can easily reach it, even if it is the Tokugawa family.
Not to mention that even if people like Honta and Itakura are going to do something about it, their safety is certain. "
At this time, a specific name such as "Honta" and "Itakura" came out of Souyong's mouth, and Zo chills ran on Changan's back.
- How far do you know... the Toyotomi...
Simple and lucid, deep questions cover his mind.
Unexpectedly with his mouth half-opened, Chang 'an stared at Sou Yong's face. Of course, just like earlier, I can't read anything from that look on Soo-yong's face.
But only the words that came out of his mouth became an even greater step than the one he had taken, coming up in his heart with earthfoot.
"I worked for Hideji Hori to get Hideji Ishimi to sit in this seat from Yuan, but Hideji was sent over to Hideji Tamaru to see what he had lost.
Even if I tried Toyota, I was just bothering my head with the way it was treated.
At last, when Lord Uemaru (about Chung-hye Matsuhei) returns, please join us in returning after Lord Tamaru.
So, you sure you don't mind? Lord Ishimi. "
Chang 'an could not hide the surprising colors to Soo Yong, who paid too little attention to Chang 'an's concerns.
And he spoke so naturally that words appeared in his breasts.
"Why... why did you go so far and let it sit here...?
Soo-yong laughed nicely at the question.
And in a serene tone, he also honestly presented the thoughts of the Toyotomi family, no Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
"Whether Ishimi is someone on the side of the Toyota family… it is up to Hideyoshi to identify the matter."
"Oh, my God... whether or not you're on my side... and Lord Toyotomi (Hideyoshi Toyotomi)..."
Chang 'an's head gets even more confused.
Why Hideyoshi Toyotomi, the other family, is trying to figure out who could be on his side about him...
The matter came as no surprise.
And Soo-yong's stepping in finally approached the depths of his heart with a single sound.
"I can't tell you the details, but Hideyoshi knows Ishimi well."
"Master Rightfu... what does it do..."
In the extreme of confusion, defenselessly his mind finally showed itself in front of his "shadow" as he allowed Soo-yong to enter.
"I need to talk to you."
And...
The secret talks between Souyoshi Ishida and Changan Okubo will raise the curtain...
"Could you tell us about Lord Ishimi's 'dream'?"
That conversation, which began with this inquiry, would later lead to a massive shaking of the heavens, in other words, driving the gear of history crazy.
