Toyotomi Daikichi's grandsons, Toyotomi Yoshimasa and Toyotomi Yoshida, are hiding among the people and are protected by the Iga ninjas.
The Iga ninjas are indeed powerful.
Now the spies from the Imperial City Division are out in force. In addition, civil servants and military generals of the Han Dynasty searched throughout Fusang, but there was no clue at all.
Wu Nian thought that this matter would be difficult to solve. Unexpectedly, Hattori Hanzo actually delivered it to his door.
"It is rumored that Hattori Hanzo is loyal to the Toyotomi family. There must be a reason why he shows up now." Kyogoku Yuki left Wu Nian's arms, stroked the black hair beside his ears, and said.
"Yeah." Wu Nian hummed. Then he raised his head and said to the Ouchi guard: "Please come in."
"Yes." Ouchi's guard responded and was about to go down. Kyogoku Yuki said to the Ouchi guard: "Ninjas have strange methods and are masters of using poison. You should search carefully to avoid any accidents."
With that said, she stood up, moved to the left, and sat down.
"Yes." The Ouchi guard responded again, turned around and went down. Wu Nian smiled at Jingji Xueli and said, "Zhou Dao."
Kyogoku Yuki smiled slightly.
After a while, Hattori Hanzo walked in from the outside, "escorted" by two Ouchi guards on the left and right. He wore a blue haori, shaved his Tsukiyo head, and still looked like a standard samurai.
After entering the room, he immediately knelt down cross-legged, placed his hands on both sides of his legs, bent down and saluted: "The leader of the Iga clan, Hattori Hanzo, pays homage to the King of Han and Princess Higashino."
"No courtesy. Raise your head." Wu Nian raised his hand and said pleasantly.
"Yes." Hattori Hanzo obeyed and raised his head. Wu Nian looked at his face and pointed out: "Sir, he looks a little haggard."
"It was very hard to hide in Tibet while being hunted by the Imperial City Division and Fuma ninjas. As a result, I was haggard." Hattori Hanzo said respectfully.
"Yes." Wu Nian hummed and asked, "Sir, you are here to find me, but you want to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side. Offer the heads of the remnants of the Toyotomi family?"
"Reporting to the King of Han. My loyalty to Duke Daiji can be seen from the sun and the moon. I will never offer the heads of Toyotomi's descendants." Hattori Hanzo said calmly.
"Hmph." The Ouchi guard who was watching eagerly showed an angry look, snorted coldly, and unconsciously grasped the handle of the knife at his waist.
Hattori Hanzo's color is calm.
This is strange.
Wu Nian and Jingji Xueli looked surprised. This guy threw himself into a trap. Logically, he should have offered his head as a sign of submission.
But not so.
"Then why did you come here to find me?" Wu Nian frowned, showing displeasure.
Hattori Hanzo once again showed a respectful look, bent down and saluted: "Report to the king. Under the pursuit of the Imperial City Division, we have become unsustainable. So as an envoy, I came to seek peace."
"What qualifications does the Toyotomi family have to ask for peace?" Wu Nian was amused and asked.
"Yes." Hattori Hanzo replied loudly, and then said: "Under the pursuit of the Imperial City Division, there is really nothing we can do. We can only escape from Fuso, or go to Meng Yuan, or to the Chu Kingdom."
"Although the Toyotomi family has been destroyed, its old prestige is not trivial. If it is used by Chu State and Meng Yuan, it will cause a lot of trouble to the Han Dynasty."
Wu Nian thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay. Even if you have the capital to sue for peace, how do you plan to sue for peace?"
Hattori Hanzo said without hesitation: "We are willing to donate the gold that the Toyotomi family has hidden in Fuso, and hand over the direct descendants of Lord Daichi to the King of Han."
"But there is one condition. Please treat them as ordinary people, the King of Han. They can be guarded and put under house arrest, but they cannot be killed. Allow the bloodline of the Toyotomi family to be continued."
Say it. Hattori Hanzo bent down deeply, put his forehead on the tatami, and made a gesture of supplication.
This can be regarded as unconditional surrender.
If Wu Nian breaks his promise, the bloodline of the Toyotomi family will be cut off. But there is no way. Hattori Hanzo had tried his best, but the Fuuma ninjas and the spies of the Imperial City Division were as fierce as vicious dogs.
They could either go north to Mongolia or south to Chu. Staying in Fuso is nothing but fish and meat.
But he has analyzed that it is very dangerous to go north to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty or south to the Chu Kingdom.
Although the King of Han's army is late, it will not fail. The Mongolians had help from the Slavs, but they might not be able to stand up. Although the people of Chu have a vast territory and rich resources, and have the Great Wall for defense, they may not be able to stop the Han army.
By then, they will not even be qualified to negotiate.
It's better to surrender now and place your hope on Wu Nian's credibility.
Thanks to Wu Nian's daily management, Hanwang's reputation is very good. As long as the King of Han opens his mouth and promises. Hattori Hanzo is willing to believe unconditionally.
Hattori Hanzo's heart was filled with sadness. The Toyotomi family has perished, but the fire remains. Now there is not even the tinder, no, not even the residue.
Wu Nian's rule over Fusang was unusually stable. The penetration of Fuso from top to bottom is unusually rapid.
The Toyotomi family is in dire straits.
Kyogoku Xueli turned her head slightly and looked at Wu Nian.
Wu Nian did not hesitate and said: "As long as you hand over the hidden property of you and the Toyotomi family. I will allow the Toyotomi family to live in Liaodong."
Hattori Hanzo's tense body relaxed. He raised his head in relief and said respectfully to Wu Nian: "Thank you, King Han."
Wu Nian nodded and said: "This is all your fault. Your loyalty and skill are very appreciated by everyone... huh?"
Wu Nian was about to recruit Hattori Hanzo, but he raised his eyebrows and stood up with a look of surprise.
Hattori Hanzo's face turned dark, he fell to the ground, and said with difficulty: "Thank you, King Han, for your appreciation of me. It's just that I am the eagle dog of the Toyotomi family, and I will never betray you."
"This time I come to see the king. Whether it is success or failure, I will not go back alive."
"Please, Your Majesty, hang my body on the south gate of Kyoto."
"When the Iga ninja saw that I had taken poison and died, I will send the Toyotomi descendants and gold."
After that, Hattori Hanzo opened his mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. After his body twitched for a while, his eyes widened and he died.
Kyogoku Yuki stood up and hugged Wu Nian's arm. She was not afraid, but felt pity and said: "As expected of the Toyotomi family's eagle dog."
"A loyal man." Wu Nian nodded, and then said to the Ouchi guard: "According to what he said, hang the body in the south of the city."
"Yes." The Ouchi guard put down the anger in his heart, looked at Hattori Hanzo with admiration, and then carefully took away his body.
"No matter what. With the surrender of the remnants of the Toyotomi family, the Fuso matter is completely over."
"Not long after, I will take you back to Liaodong."
Wu Nian exhaled and patted Kyogoku's tender little hands in the snow.
"Yeah." Kyogoku Yuki hummed.
Seeing Hattori Hanzo take poison with his own eyes, the two of them no longer have the interest in you and me.
From this aspect, Hattori Hanzo can be considered a disgrace.
