Chapter 216: Tokugawa Shigeru
In the teahouse that exudes a faint tea fragrance, Duanzang sat opposite a young man with extraordinary aura.
Although they were sitting by the window, neither the teahouse nor the noisy environment on the streets had an impact on the two of them. The table between them seemed to form two spaces with the outside world.
"Who is yours?"
Tokugawa Shigei asked in confusion as he looked at the person who looked beautiful and looked at him with a smile on his face.
The moment Danzo spoke out his last name, his mind was already turning quickly to search for memories of this person, but obviously, he did not recall the person in front of him from his mind.
They have never met.
"Tokugawa Shige, the eldest son of Tokugawa Iewei, the water country's daimyo daimyo, has been secretly selected by the Tokugawa clan as the next daimyo because of your unique talent." Danzo sat opposite Tokugawa Shige with a smile, crossed his hands and placed them on the tea table, looking calm and gentle.
These are the information he has collected in his spare time these days. With his means and spiritual perception expanding the entire Kyoto, there is no secret that can escape his tracking.
It includes the itinerary of the young man in front of him, his status, and his right to speak in the Land of Water.
But Tokugawa Shigeshiro, who was sitting opposite him, was shocked. The decision to be chosen by the family as the next daimyo was secret. No one except his father and several elders in the family knew about it, including those same surname and other surnames who also had the opportunity to run for the daimyo.
But now the news was spoken by the stranger in front of him who had never seen before, and the volume was not lowered at all, which made him look around in a panic, but was surprised to find that their conversation had not reached the ears of others around him.
"They can't hear us."
Danzo saw his concern and explained, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Shimura Danzo, who is the current daimyo of the Fire Country."
"You...you...you?"
After hearing Danzo explain that the people around him could not hear their conversation, Tokugawa Shimoshi was even more worried, afraid that the other party would do something to him after knowing his identity, but when Danzo introduced him, he was already speechless.
"Shimura Danzo."
Danzo repeated his name again.
After confirming that he heard it correctly, Tokugawa Shige looked up and down seriously and said, "You are a little young."
Of course he had never seen Danzo, he had only seen the previous Daming of the Kingdom of Fire.
No matter which country is in the five major countries, as long as Daming takes office, they will hold a gathering to invite senior officials from all countries to meet. However, only Danzo, an alien, was born, not only ninjas, but also only invited the people of the Fire Country, and no senior officials from other countries were invited.
This also led to the fact that no nobles of other countries had seen Danzang.
"As a little trick for a ninja," Danzo said modestly. Of course, it is not a little trick he said that being able to achieve a permanent ninja will truly be able to achieve a permanent youth.
Tokugawa Shige looked at Danzo enviously. As a talented noble, he knew very well that the reasons why the nobles looked down on ninjas were more because of fear and jealousy, because the nobles could not hold power and power at the same time, but both Danzo had obtained it.
"So, Lord Danzo, what is the purpose of entering the center of our Water Country at this time and actively exposing his identity?" Tokugawa Shigei asked, looking at the person in front of him.
He did not question the other party's identity, nor did he let the other party show the corresponding identity proof, because it was unnecessary.
Regardless of whether this person is Danzo or not, the other party's strength is here, he can only choose to believe it and follow his words to save his life.
"I hope to resolve this matter peacefully."
Danzo stared at Tokugawa Shimoki on the opposite side and expressed his purpose this time.
Although he could clearly feel the distrust of Tokugawa Shige, Danzo did not explain much because he could not explain it either.
As the name of the Kingdom of Fire, he has never disclosed anything that can prove his identity since he took office, because his name is a symbol in the Kingdom of Fire, and no one dares to impersonate it.
"Peaceful resolution?"
Tokugawa Shige's eyes were stunned for a moment. Regardless of whether the other party was really Daming of the Fire Country himself, this sentence made him feel funny.
"You initiated the war, and you broke the balance between the five countries. Is that right? What you mean now is, have you regretted it? Don't plan to fight?"
He looked at Danzang and asked, his doubts gradually widening. No one dared to pretend to be a daimyo in a country. It was another sensitive period, but the person in front of him seemed to be an exception.
On the contrary, the other party's next words surprised him even more. Danzo shook his head: "It's better not to fight. I mean you surrender and merge into the Kingdom of Fire, and everyone will resolve this matter peacefully."
Tokugawa Shimo:?
A psychopath?
That's right, only a lunatic has the courage to pretend to be a daimyo and put on this posture in front of him. He is still a powerful lunatic.
"Can you describe in detail what the situation is?" Tokugawa Shige's expression was gentle, but his heart became more vigilant and panicked.
When facing a person with a brain problem, you can never guess what he will say or do next. It is possible that the next second he feels that he is not Daming, but Daming's Dead Soldier, and he is here.
He could only try his best to calm down the situation of the person in front of him, and wait for the guards in the mansion to notice the situation here and come to help.
"I'm not a lunatic. In order to avoid unpleasant situations in the future, I think you should honestly listen to my words as I am really Daming of the Fire Kingdom." Danzo still kept a smile on his face, and his hands crossed on the tea table picked up the teacup, took a sip and said.
Just after he spoke, the young man in front of him had already defined his identity. In the subsequent communication, he would obey his own will without reservation and hold this conversation with his own intention.
The whole process of this exchange appeared unconsciously in Danzang's mind.
This Tokugawa Shige has already given him a definition of a psychopath, but he is also a person with a deep heart. He doesn't even show his vigilance on the surface. When the other party defines himself like that, no matter how moving and organized his words are, the other party will not believe it.
After half an hour of pleasant communication, the guards of Daming Mansion will appear in this teahouse, breaking the small illusion he set up and causing conflict.
As Danzo saw his thoughts, Tokugawa Shimoshi seemed even more panicked. Maintaining his expression and emotions was a compulsory course for Daming. Although many nobles no longer value it now and only reached the passing level, his talented and intelligent Tokugawa Shimoshima is different.
He learned in full everything that he should have learned as a daimyo in ancient times, including the management of his emotions and expressions. No matter how close he is to him, no matter how close he is, he cannot detect his truest emotions.
But now his emotions and thoughts were clearly captured by the guy opposite. Is this the ninja's method?
But now he has reexamined the definition of Danzo. If he is really a psychopath, he will never face him so calmly after realizing his thoughts and intentions.
