Chapter 991: A Failed Marriage (Happy New Year)
PS: First of all, I will reply to one sentence that Takeshi Shimazu's Kamen Rider form can directly refer to Witch Rider.
"Is he just saying something bad?" Liu Xing asked seriously.
Li Hanxing nodded and said seriously: "Judging from the expression of the man with glasses and the words he said, what he heard should have been just some bad words, and he didn't make any guarantees to that high-ranking member of the Shimazu family, but he mentioned that he would pay more attention to another high-ranking member of the Shimazu family." ”
It seems that Shimazu Hiromichi is not in a hurry, and directly speaks to win over the Ii trio.
But then again, Liu Xing was suddenly curious about one thing, that is, Shimazu Hiromichi didn't worry that the Ii trio would tell Takeshi Shimazu if he did this?
Or that Shimazu Takeshi will have a direct showdown with the Ii trio.
If Shimazu Takeshi directly shows down with the Ii trio, informing them that they have already taken off and are ready to occupy the magpie's nest, then the Ii family, and even the public faction, should choose to side with Shimazu Takeshi... Of course, the Ii family and the public faction will not openly support Shimazu Takeshi, but secretly provide some convenience for Shimazu Takeshi.
Because Shimazu Takeshi's time bomb must be detonated at certain times in order for him to play his greatest role.
At that time, after Shimazu Takeshi knew that Shimazu Hiromichi had said bad things about the Ii trio, the most likely choice he would make was to make the Ii trio pretend to believe Shimazu Hiromichi, but in fact he was exploring the truth of Shimazu Hiromichi.
As long as the situation of Shimazu Hiromichi is determined, then Shimazu Takeshi will attack Shimazu Hiromichi.
But when it came to starting, Liu Xing thought of another question, that is, when will Kitano Masaichi attack the Shimazu Mansion?
Judging from the current situation, since Shimazu Hiromichi risked his life to run out to attract Shimazu Takeshi's attention, it is obvious that he wants to divert the tiger from the mountain, and use himself as a bait to force Shimazu Takeshi to leave the Shimazu Mansion and come to Kagoshima City to "face the line" with him.
Of course, Shimazu Takeshi should also know that Shimazu Hiromichi is attracting himself to take the bait, so he just turned into a Kamen Rider and left the Shimazu Group building through the portal, and nine times out of ten he is to return to the Shimazu Mansion to make corresponding arrangements, and prepare to make a plan, because Shimazu Takeshi knows very well that Shimazu Hiromichi will definitely monitor the outside of the Shimazu Group building to determine his own dynamics, so he only needs to leave the Shimazu Group building in a normal way after everything is arranged. Then the sneak attack launched by Masaichi Kitano could turn into an encounter.
"Liu Xing, are we going to continue to track the members of the Jing Yi family now?"
Li Hanxing looked at Liu Xing, who was deep in thought, and said, "If we delay some more time, I'm afraid we will lose them." ”
Liu Xing, who came back to his senses, nodded, got up and said, "Let's go, let's continue to follow the members of the Jing Yi family, but Sun Huiwen, if you can, go back to the Shimadzu Group building now, pretend to be a customer who has come to do business, go to the front desk to ask if Shimazu Takeshi is still there." ”
"Takeshi Shimazu? It's the high-ranking member of the Shimazu family who just got bad said, right? The name sounds a little familiar to me. Sun Huiwen followed behind Liu Xing and said, "Oh, I remember, this Shimazu Takeshi is the adopted son of the son-in-law who was adopted by the current patriarch of the Shimazu family, right?" Li Hanxing and I collected some information about the Shimazu family after we came to Kagoshima City, but unfortunately the patriarch of the Shimazu family has already gone to Osaka to become the commander-in-chief of the samurai faction, so we are not interested in doing business with the Shimazu family anymore, after all, with our popularity, it is difficult to meet the leading brother of a certain faction. ”
"But this Shimazu Takeshi is quite interesting, or we are very interested in Shimazu Takeshi's identity as a son-in-law, after all, the son-in-law is also a major feature of the island country, but there are many island country celebrities who are adopted sons, but then again, this situation should also be passed from China, because in ancient China, there were many generals with real power who would adopt a lot of righteous sons, and train these righteous sons into elite or personal soldiers in their own troops, or simply their private soldiers."
"Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered a person, that is, the second generation of famous generals of the Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu, his military strength is not under the founding generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, there was a good chance to become the first military general of the Ming Dynasty at that time, but unfortunately this person is a little deficient in other aspects, repeatedly committed Zhu Yuanzhang's taboos, missed many opportunities to live, but the most important thing is that he also recruited thousands of famous sons, which made Zhu Yuanzhang find a handle, and beheaded Lan Yu in the name of rebellion."
Liu Xing suddenly Sun Huiwen is the kind of person who is "active in thinking" like himself, and in just a few words, he pulled the topic from "the adopted son of the son-in-law of the island country" to the "Ming Dynasty Lanyu case".
Fortunately, Sun Huiwen at this time also realized that he was a little off-topic, so he hurriedly pulled the topic back, "Ahem, let's go back to the topic, after hearing that Shimazu Takeshi is Shimazu Nakano's son-in-law and adopted son, we went to check some relevant information, because although the island country is very popular with sons-in-law, but island countries like the Shimazu family have not let their sons-in-law and adopted sons take power, because these wealthy families are all flourishing, if the family has no materials to support the family, Then you can also inherit a suitable candidate from the family, and if it really doesn't work, you can directly cultivate a tool person with an unstable foundation to work. ”
"So after we learned that Shimazu Nakano had the idea of taking Shimazu Takeshi as his son-in-law and adopted son, we specially entrusted someone to collect some information, and found that Shimazu Takeshi's father had a very good relationship with Shimazu Nakano, and even saved Shimazu Nakano's life, so Shimazu Takeshi was able to become Shimazu Nakano's son-in-law; It seems to be quite normal here, like a typical story of repaying the favor - you saved my life, so I married my daughter to you, but if you look closely, it will make people think that something is wrong, because Shimazu Nakano only has such a daughter. ”
"Although it is now, a high-ranking family like the Shimazu family seems to have sunset, and there is almost no sense of existence at all, but we all know that these families are still secretly controlling all aspects of the entire island country, so these families still like marriage very much, because marriage is an alliance, after all, after having a blood relationship, the two sides can have the opportunity to go further, so we found that Shimazu Nakano's daughter has become a couple with the son of the patriarch of the Otomo family next door when she was in high school, They also went to England to study together, and the major families in the island country at that time thought that the Shimadzu family would marry the Otomo family. ”
"Although in history, the Shimazu family as the leader of southern Kyushu, and the leading big brother of northern Kyushu, the Otomo family, have had many wars, and everyone should be regarded as mortal enemies, but after the end of the Warring States period, the Shimazu family and the Otomo family were suppressed by the Tokugawa shogunate at the same time, so the two families as neighbors began to work together and secretly help each other, so the relationship between the two sides is constantly easing and improving, but it has not broken through the last line, If you make an inappropriate analogy, that is, there are more than friends, but there are not enough lovers, so each family thinks that if the Shimadzu family and the Otomo family want to further their relationship, then marriage is the best way. ”
"Therefore, when Shimazu Nakano's daughter was just born, the patriarch of the Otomo family came to Kagoshima City to congratulate, and jokingly said that Shimazu Nakano's daughter would be engaged to his son, and Shimazu Nakano also readily agreed, and when Shimazu Nakano went to visit the Otomo family, he took his daughter with him almost every time, and when Shimazu Nakano's daughter started school, the Otomo family also arranged for his son to go to school in Kagoshima City, and let him live in the Shimazu family temporarily."
"Obviously, this discerning person knows that the Shimazu family is planning to marry the Otomo family, so that the real relationship between the two parties will pass the last step and work together to control the Kyushu region, after all, there are only two of them who can count the number one big family in the Kyushu region, if the two of them marry, then the remaining small families will have no room for resistance; However, because of this, the Shimazu family and the Otomo family are worried that someone will ruin this marriage, after all, the other families in the island country do not want the Kyushu region to be completely reduced to a word, so the two families have not announced their engagement to the public. ”
"Although there has been no announcement of the engagement, Shimazu Nakano's daughter has already fallen in love with the young master of the Otomo family when she was in junior high school, and from an outsider's point of view, the two sides are indeed truly in love, not forced together by both parents, or by the two families, the most important thing is that the two of them also seem to be talented and beautiful, very matched, so the marriage between the Shimazu family and the Otomo family is regarded as an inevitable result, Especially when Shimazu Nakano's daughter went to England to study abroad with the young master of the Otomo family, everyone thought that they would get married after returning home. ”
"But it was during this time that things suddenly changed dramatically! First of all, Shimazu Nakano suddenly claimed in private that he had no children under his knees, and there was no one in the new generation within the family who could satisfy him, which made everyone else think that Shimazu Nakano was planning to let the young master of the Otomo family intervene in the door, which is still a very common situation in the island country, and there have been many families in the past who let the children of other families serve as the head of the family through marriage, although this may also have hidden dangers of other families controlling their own families, and this has indeed happened many times in history. ”
"However, judging from the situation at the time, the strength of the Shimazu family is still stronger than that of the Otomo family, so the Shimazu family does not need to worry too much about the young master of the Otomo family who will plot against him after he joins the family, not to mention that this young master is only the second young master of the Otomo family, and his brother has been determined to be the next heir of the Otomo family, so it is an acceptable thing for the Shimadzu family and the Otomo family to become the next head of the Shimazu family after he joins the family."
As a result, it didn't take long for Shimazu Nakano to suddenly announce that he had adopted his savior, Fujino Tsuyoshi's son Fujino Takeshi, because Fujino Tsuyoshi had a secret illness when he rescued him, so he died suddenly some time ago; At this time, everyone still thinks that Takeshi Fujino, that is, Takeshi Shimazu now, is only Shimazu Nakano who was included in the family in order to repay his kindness, because although Takeshi Shimazu was also a graduate of a prestigious university at that time, he was still a few grades behind the real scholars and geniuses, so people like him are not even tool people in major families, so few people would have thought that Takeshi Shimazu would marry Shimazu Nakano's daughter in a few months. ”
"Wait, they'll be married in a few months?! Sun Huiwen: Is your news channel really reliable, it won't be the gossip news found in that forum. ”
Liu Xing looked at Sun Huiwen with some surprise.
Because of the urgency of the incident, Liu Xing and others' understanding of Shimazu Takeshi almost all came from Shimazu Hiromichi, and although Sawada Yayin also went to investigate Shimazu Takeshi's situation, but because of the congenital deficiency of the Sawada family, Sawada Yayin was able to collect not much information, and almost all of this information happened after Shimazu Takeshi became Shimazu Nakano's son-in-law.
So Liu Xing didn't know what Sun Huiwen just said.
"Regarding the news channel, please rest assured Liu Xing, the most important thing for us to be mercenaries is the news channel, so I can guarantee that these news are true and reliable, but because of this matter, how to say it, although the Otomo family did not say anything later, their second young master also married a wife and had children soon after, and the cooperation with the Shimazu family is still continuing, but this thing feels a little strange no matter how you look at it, and it can even be said to be a little weird, after all, it has only been a few months, Shimazu Nakano married his daughter to an unknown adopted son, and this operation is simply inexplicable. ”
Therefore, the Shimazu family either gave a hush order to those who knew the truth, or gave hush money, so in the eyes of ordinary people and those small families who were not up to the grade, the daughter of the patriarch of the Shimazu family married an ordinary person, which made them re-believe that love can cross classes, which caused some sensation at the time, but the heat soon disappeared under the deliberate suppression of the Shimazu family, and Shimazu Takeshi rarely appeared in the public eye after this, and now ordinary people may remember that there is such a person as him, But nine times out of ten, he didn't know that he had become the head of the Shimadzu family business. Sun Huiwen said seriously.
Hearing this, Liu Xing was really a little confused, and he couldn't understand what was going on.
