An old man who didn't seem to be worth paying attention to suddenly said something astonishing. Everyone in the first class cast their astonished gazes on the old man who was still smiling "ho ho" in the cell.

"Miss Hatsumi, Mr. Shibata." Amachi asked Hatsumi and Shibata beside him, "Do you know this old man in the prison?"

The two stared at the old man in the prison, and then shook their heads at the same time.

"I've never seen him." Chu Guang said.

Shibata also nodded in agreement.

"Oh?" The old man in the cell looked at Hatsumi and Shibata with interest, "You two are wearing Iga no Sato ninja costumes..."

"You two...couldn't you be renegade ninjas who betrayed the Toyotomi clan's enemies?"

"It's normal that you don't know me."

"After all, the place where I used to work was a place where there was no sunlight."

"Hey." Makimura stepped forward and grasped the bars of the cell with both hands, "Who are you?!"

Based on what the old man said just now, it is not difficult to tell that this person seems to have a lot of knowledge about the Toyotomi clan.

"Who am I..." The old man with no fear on his face looked directly at Makimura, "I can tell you who I am... it's not impossible."

"But...before I introduce myself, can you let me know who you are?"

"Who are you?"

"This should not be a place where idlers can come and go at will."

"What happened outside? How did you get in here?"

Although this old man was disheveled, he was still in good spirits. He asked Chao Yuan and others one question after another in clear words.

Mamiya frowned slightly at this time.

"Lord Genichi." Mamiya turned to Genichi beside him and said, "The mountain fire outside is still raging. If the mountain fire comes here, it will be troublesome."

"This is not a place to stay for a long time."

"And since my lord is not here, there is no need to stay here any longer."

"Let's take the old man in the prison away first. While leaving this underground prison, we can slowly question the old man."

"Yes." Yuan nodded, "I happen to be thinking so. Mamiya, please open the door."

"yes."

Mamiya suddenly raised his hands, holding the scabbard with his left hand and grabbing the handle of the saber with his right hand.

Step forward and draw the knife!

The purple sword light of Vairocana illuminated the narrow cave.

Naturally, they did not have the key to unlock the cell door.

But who said you need a key to open the door?

The purple sword light flashed once and then again.

Click.

At the same moment when Mamiya put away the knife, the sound of wood breaking was heard.

On the wooden cell railing, a hole large enough for an adult to enter and exit was cut out by the light of a purple knife.

When Mamiya was talking to Genichi just now, he didn't lower his voice.

Therefore, the old man in the cell clearly heard the conversation between Mamiya and Genichi.

When the conversation between the two ended and Mamiya drew the knife to "open the door", the old man seemed to have heard something extraordinary and kept looking at Genichi outside the prison with surprised eyes.

"Master Yuan Yi..."

After repeating in a low voice what Mamiya had just called Genichi, the old man who had been huddled in the corner of the cell suddenly used his hands and feet to crawl to the center of the cell and get closer to Genichi.

The place.

"Source Yi..."

The old man stared at Yuan Yi's face.

"You can't be 'Toyotomi Genichi', right?"

Yuan Yi's brows jumped slightly.

He stared at the old man for a long time with a sharp gaze that seemed to penetrate the whole body of the old man.

"...Yes. I am Toyotomi Genichi." Genda admitted generously, "It seems that your status in the Toyotomi clan is really not low. You even don't even have the name 'Toyotomi Genichi'."

all know."

Hasegawa and his subordinates, who knew very little about Toyotomi, were now staring in confusion...

Especially Hasegawa.

At this time, he looked at Genichi who had just called himself 'Toyotomi' in shock, his brain falling into a state of near chaos because his thinking speed could no longer keep up with the changes in reality.

"Hahaha." The old man grinned, revealing a pair of teeth that were extremely yellow from not having been brushed for an unknown amount of time. "You are really Toyotomi Genichi... I have admired your name for a long time. I used to hear Nobuhide mention you all the time."

"Ha." Yuan Yi let out a laugh that was either joyful or sad, "Nobuhide has told so many people about me... He really cares about me more than I thought..."

Mamiya had already opened the cell at this time.

Makimura took the initiative to step into the cell that was exuding an unpleasant stench, and took the old man out of the prison who was also exuding an unpleasant stench.

Then, under the command of Yuan Yi, everyone began to turn back along the road they came from, preparing to leave this underground prison where there was no longer any need to stay here for a long time.

Perhaps because he had lived in prison for a long time and exercised for a long time, the old man's body was visibly weak.

Walking is okay, but running is a bit difficult for this old man.

Fortunately, Makimura is a person who does things informally.

Seeing that the old man was weak, he simply carried the old man on his back, regardless of the dirt and unpleasant smell on the old man's body.

"We can tell you our situation." Yuan Yi ran to the front to lead the way, and said quickly to the old man lying on Makimura's back next to him, "But on the contrary, I hope you can finish our work

After 'introducing yourself', be able to tell me everything you want to know, and at least let us know who you are."

"We are here to find our companions..."

Yuan told the old man their identity, purpose of coming, and how to find this place in a concise and concise manner.

After listening carefully to what Yuan Yi said, the old man murmured:

"So that's it..."

"Ha, Mr. Genichi Toyotomi, you are exactly what Nobuhide said. You are a man who never lacks courage...how dare you take Mount Koya with so few people."

"Hahaha, what a joy!"

The old man laughed loudly.

"If I have the chance, I really want to see Nobuhide's expression after learning about the attack on Mount Koya..."

"Well, I guess he won't show any rude expression."

"After all, he is the kind of person who can keep his expression unchanged even if he is extremely unhappy."

"Hey, can you tell us: who are you?" Makimura, who had been carrying the old man forward, turned and glanced at the old man on his back impatiently, "We are just as you asked

, we have introduced ourselves. It’s your turn to introduce yourself.”

"Me?" A faint look of reminiscence slowly appeared on the old man's face, "I... I am... no, I used to be a doctor under the Toyotomi clan who was responsible for doing some shameful research.

.”

As soon as the old man said this, A-Machi on the side seemed to have remembered something. He twisted his beautiful eyebrows, then raised his eyes and carefully looked at the old man from head to toe.

The old man, who didn't notice Atachi's scrutinizing gaze, continued slowly:

"I worked very hard for Nobuhide and successfully accomplished some things, so I was personally visited by Nobuhide many times."

"After going back and forth, I became familiar with Nobuhide."

"Haha...it's a pity...no matter how familiar the relationship is, once it encounters a conflict of dreams, it will be extremely fragile..."

The old man's hands around Makimura's neck slowly tightened.

The look of reminiscence on his face slowly turned into anger and...a touch of regret.

"I gave everything I could to Nobuhide."

"But in the end, all I got was jail time."

"Haha, I didn't expect that I also felt that Xuan Zhi's choice to run away directly back then was a wise move..."

Hearing what the old man just said...or rather, hearing the name "Xuanzhi" mentioned by the old man just now, A-Machi's pupils, which had been staring at the old man closely with a scrutinizing gaze, suddenly shrank.

"Wait a moment!"

A-Machijiao shouted.

"You...could you be Xuanzhi's master, Xuanzheng?"
