When Soharu Tsukawa received the news from Saigo Kizuku in Ueno Castle, it was already the afternoon of the second day after Sandillo and the others arrived at Minato. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, Tsugawa Soji planned to leave for Minato Castle early the next morning, but he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, so he rushed to Minato Castle with Takahashi Xingjia and others that night.

Ueno Castle is not far from Minato Castle, but it is only forty or fifty miles away, and it takes less than an hour to ride a war horse, and Tsugawa Soji and others arrive at Minato Castle.

"Saigo Wood, where are the people?" Soji Tsugawa went straight to Saigo's wooden house, and as soon as they met, he directly asked about the situation of Shadilo and others.

Seeing the eagerness on Tsugawa Soji's face, Saigo Muzo didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly said, "The lord doesn't need to be in a hurry, I'm going to bring people over here." ”

"Go now, go back!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"Hah!"

A quarter of an hour later, Saigo Kizo arrived in the hall with Sardillo and Albani, as well as Sasaki Mataro and others.

Soji Tsugawa hurriedly moved his gaze to the figure behind Saigo Kizo, Sasaki Mataro Tsukawa Soji knew, and the other one was dressed as a ronin although he didn't know him. When he saw the last two red-haired men, Soharu Tsugawa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally waited for you, but fortunately I didn't give up....... It is not easy for the southern barbarians to come, which will make people even more sad................ Soji Tsugawa has begun to silently sound BGM in his heart at this time.

"My lord, the man has been brought!" Saigo Kizo finished speaking and stepped aside.

"Sasaki Mataro has met Tsugawa-sama!" Sasaki Mataro, who was quite familiar with Tsugawa Soji, bowed to Tsugawa Soji and said loudly. The people behind him, Sardillo and the others, also followed suit, and then quietly looked at Soji Tsugawa and did not speak.

Shimazu and Saburo whispered something in the ears of Shadilo and Albani.

Soji Tsugawa stood up excitedly and said in a fairly understandable English, "Good evening, sorry to wake you up late at night, my name is Soji Tsugawa, a lord in the RB country." ”

"I'm really honored to have you here, I don't know what I should call you?" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile on his face to Sardilo and Obani.

Shadillo, who was standing on the side, said excitedly, "Oh! Oh, God! ”

Shadilo interrupted Aubani's emotion and said excitedly, "Although Your Excellency's English is a little strange, at least I can still understand it!" ”

"It's great to be able to understand the people here in this faraway country!" "My name is Sardilo, a businessman from Portugal. This is my friend Father Albani. ”

"It turned out to be Lord Shadilo and Father Albani." Soji Tsugawa has admired the name for a long time.

Albani on the side walked over excitedly, took Tsugawa Soji's hand, and said tremblingly, "Ever since I received the letter from the adult, I have been desperately looking forward to meeting the adult. On the way, I also heard about the demeanor of Tsugawa-sama from Sasaki's mouth many times, and now I see that it is really worthy of the name. ”

"The priest has won the prize." Soji Tsugawa replied with a smile.

"To tell you the truth, I was going to go to Meikoku as a missionary, but I met Sasaki and Shimazu on the way, and after receiving a letter from Tsugawa-sama, I changed my mind. ”

"Of course, I've always wondered why Tsugawa-sama speaks English and knows so much about our Christianity." Albani asked, confused.

Soji Tsugawa replied quietly, "Actually, I'm also very strange. I vaguely remember when I was very young, I met a kind lady in a dream, she taught me many languages, but I was stupid and only learned English. ”

"In the dream, the lady also told me a lot about Portugal, Spain, Rome and so on. Also, she said that I was a child of God, but I didn't understand what that meant. Soji Tsugawa said with a confused expression.

"Oh God!" Albani said excitedly, "You must have met the Virgin Mary in your dream, it's incredible. It's incredible that you are the Son of God, God. ”

"Lord Tsugawa, it seems that you are a true Christian, and I must inform the Pope of this. The light of God will shine on this place! Albani said excitedly.

Tsugawa Soji saw that Obani had already fallen into the trap, and his heart was full of joy. But on the surface, he still said calmly, "Father Albany, if the priest wants to preach in my territory, I will definitely support it." ”

"But Father O'Bani, you've come all the way and may not know much about the situation in our RB country." Soji Tsugawa said slowly, "We have our own beliefs in our country, and the priests speak different languages and cultures from our people, so I am afraid it will be difficult to preach. ”

"Moreover, I'm just a small lord in the country, roughly equivalent to a baron." Soji Tsugawa showed a look of regret and continued, "So, for the time being, the priest can only preach in my territory. ”

"No, no, no! No matter how difficult it is, I won't give up! Albani excitedly said, "I believe that the light of the Lord will surely shine on this place." ”

"Father Albany, I am more than happy to help you on your mission. As long as there is a need for me, I will do my best! Soji Tsugawa said with a firm face.

"Really?" Albani said happily, "Great! With the help of Tsugawa-sama, this mission will be a success. ”

"But Father." Soji Tsugawa said with a melancholy expression, "At present, my territory is facing attacks from other lords around me, and I am afraid that in a while, the enemy will seize my territory. ”

"How so?" Albani's face changed, "Didn't Sasaki say that Tsugawa-sama is very powerful?" ”

", why does this Sasaki Mataro say everything, how can I get benefits if you do this!" Soharu Tsugawa thought speechlessly.

Lowering his head and thinking about it, Soji Tsugawa continued, "Father, the strength of the Tsugawa family is only before. Originally, the other lords around my territory were not strong, so I was able to defeat them. But now, there are several duke-like existences around my territory, and as a lowly baron, it may be difficult for my family to support it anymore. ”

"So, Father, if my territory is seized by then, I am afraid that I will not be able to help you, Father. Alas! Soji Tsugawa said dejectedly.

After listening to Soji Tsugawa's words, Obani fell into silence, and after a long time, Albani raised his head and said with a firm face, "Lord Tsukawa, don't be afraid!" I, Obani, will help you through this! ”

Tsugawa Soji suddenly burst into tears, "Hard work pays off, what I'm waiting for is your words........ ”
