Shiro Ashikaga was adopted by his former leader Takagi Yoshigo, Ashikaga, and adopted son in Kyushu.

Apart from his name, he was completely Han. After Ashikaga Yoshigo's death, his sons competed for the position of leader, obviously the only one who could choose to be loyal to Ashikaga Yoshihide. This is determined by blood. Even if he wanted to serve others, he would not be trusted at all.

Moreover, Ashikaga Yoshihide's mother was kind to him back then, which made him firmly stand on Ashikaga Yoshihide's side. Even though he knew in his heart that Ashikaga Yoshihide's chance of successfully taking the position of leader in the end was pitiful.

But Laozi says, "Damage is the basis of good fortune, and good fortune is the basis of bad fortune."

No one expected that the biggest disadvantage of Ashikaga Yoshihide's competition for the position of Takagihara's leader would later become his greatest advantage, and he won the position of leader in one fell swoop.

Although he seems to have become a puppet now, Ashikaga Yoshihide is still alive after all, and his brothers and opponents have followed his former leader Ashikaga Yoshigo.

Only by living can we be qualified to talk about the future, right?

However, as the head of the government was moved to Yingtian under the coercion of the Han forces, Ashikari Shiro also gave up.

When they were far away from the old nests of these Han forces, they were still unable to resist and could only barely support them and not be completely dismembered, retaining the last trace of power to protect Ashikaga Yoshihide. Now that they have moved the Zongtang to the Liudu, which is surrounded by Han forces, who are surrounded by Han forces, can they still have hope?

Shiro Ashikaga didn't want to think about this problem because he was afraid that he would commit suicide because of despair.

Perhaps, it seems like a good choice to protect Ashikaga Yoshihide in this life and allow him to live his life safely.

Whenever the night is late and people feel deeply painful and cannot see hope, Shiro Ashikaga can only comfort himself like this.

So, when Ashikaga Yoshihide secretly summoned him late at night, he was actually a little worried.

He knew Ashikaga Yoshihide's unwillingness, and he also knew that Ashikaga Yoshihide wanted to have full power like their father, but if his current secret summons him was accidentally discovered by the Han elders, he would probably erase him secretly.

He was not afraid of death, but if even he died, Ashikaga Yoshihide would lose even the last little protective shell, and might even endanger his life.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Ashikaga Yoshihide, he immediately tried to persuade Ashikaga Yoshihide to restrain his impulse and continue to endure it.

However, before he could speak, he was interrupted by Ashikaga Yoshihide with a look of surprise.

"Brother Qi, you are here, come quickly, come here quickly, I have something to discuss with you."

"Chief, I wasn't..."

When Ashikaga Yoshihide still called him Qi Ge as before, Shiro Ashikaga was a little moved, but he couldn't help but want to persuade him. After all, he is now the leader of Takatahara.

"What leader,"

Ashikaga Yoshihide had obviously guessed what Ashikaga Shiro wanted to say, and immediately interrupted him with a strong sarcasm on his face.

"It's just a puppet."

"It's me who are incompetent."

"Okay, why should I blame myself for my own fault? If it weren't for the Seventh Brother, I'm afraid I'd already become a dry bone in the tomb."

Ashikaga Yoshihide walked to Ashikaga Shiro with emotion on his face.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these depressing past events. I'll come to Brother Qi today. There is really a big thing to discuss with you."

Shaking his head and throwing the feeling of missing the past out of his mind. Ashikaga Yoshihide pulled Ashikaga Shiro, walked quickly to the chair and sat down, waved his hand, and signaled the others to go outside to guard.

"By the way, what is the big deal for the leader who summoned me so late?"

Seeing that Ashikaga Yoshihide mentioned two "discussing major events" in just a few short sentences, Shiro Ashikaga couldn't help but become curious. As for the persuasion that he had thought of in his mind, he was temporarily thrown behind.

"Have you heard about Su Liangfeng's return?"

"Of course, this is the most lively thing today, and those under my command are talking about it."

Seeing Ashikaga Yoshihide mentioning this matter, Ashikaga Shiro immediately replied.

"What? Is there any secret to this matter?"

"This is natural, otherwise how could I take such a big risk to secretly let Brother Qi come?"

Ashikaga Yoshihide nodded with a smile.

"But it helps us?"

Ashikari Shiro, who heard the meaning behind him, immediately became interested.

"It is of great benefit, and it may even allow us to turn over in one fell swoop and completely get rid of those greedy Han people."

"What can actually have such a great effect?"

Shiro Ashikaga had long forgotten what he thought in his heart and asked anxiously.

"Does Seventh Brother still remember the name Masao Mato?"

Ashikaga Yoshihide did not answer immediately, but instead kept it a secret and asked a question first.

"Masao Masao Masao?"

After thinking for a while, Shiro Ashikaga's eyes suddenly lit up.

"But the captain of the first team, the Masao Mato who was once scolded by his father?"

“That’s right!”

Ashikaga Yoshihide nodded and replied.

"What's wrong with that old thief?"

Shiro Ashikaga didn't understand why Yoshihide Ashikaga suddenly mentioned him.

"Is this matter? It starts with the disappearance of Su Liangzhi, the Su family..."

This time, Yoshihide Ashikaga did not keep it in a silence, but started in detail with Su Liangzhi's disappearance, and told Shiro Ashikaga in detail.

"In my opinion, the Masao Masao, who regarded the first team as his forbidden body, tried to turn the first team into the Masao clan, must have realized his ambitions after more than twenty years!"

After telling everything, Ashikaga Yoshihide talked about his own views on Masao Mato.

"The leader means that this old thief pretended on purpose. In fact, he had long been suspicious of Su Liangfeng's comfort and even doubted the situation in the headquarters?"

Ashikaga Shiro also immediately heard the strings and realized the elegant meaning.

"That's right!"

Ashikaga Yoshihide nodded heavily.

"However, I'm worried that this old thief is just suspicious and will be too conceited, so..."

"Please rest assured, I know what to do."

Only then did Ashikaga Shiro understand why Ashikaga Yoshihide secretly summoned him so late. He quickly stood up from the chair, knelt on one knee, and replied solemnly.

"The Han people have been pressuring more and more recently. Many people have betrayed me under heavy pressure. All I can trust now is Brother Qi."

Ashikaga Yoshihide also knelt down, looked straight into Ashikaga Shiro's eyes, held his hand, and said emotionally.

"Leave it to me!"

Ashikari Shiro paused,

"Thirteenth brother!"

He no longer called Ashikaga Yoshihide the leader, but picked up the name he was a child.
