After announcing his choice to the retainers, Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked, "By the way, was there anything going on here when the main hall went to meet with Chongyuanin?"

"My lord."

Hearing this, Tsuno Kahei, one of the three people in Tsuno, stepped forward and said: "Lord Qi, today the long-chain family's long-chain letter sent someone to send an invitation to say that he was going to feast on the lord tonight. ”

Said Tsuno Yoshihei took out a note from his bosom and presented it to Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

"Lord Longchain?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu took the invitation handed over by Kahei Tsuno, quickly spread it out, read it, and sighed: "Lord Long Chain has always been loyal to the Matsugami family, and he invited the main hall at this time to probably run for the Matsugami family!" This is a bit troublesome, and such a loyal and generous person really can't deceive him! “

Liangmu Yiping, who was waiting on the side, Matsugami Yoshimitsu, had a helpless look on his face, and couldn't help but step forward and said: "The lord is worried that the long chain hall will make some requests that cannot be agreed to and are not easy to refuse, which will make the lord embarrassed?" If that's the case, it's better to refuse the request of the Long Chain Palace. “

"Yes, my lord. What Lord Ryoki said is right, not only can the relationship between the two families be preserved, but also the lord will not be embarrassed. “

Tsuno Yoshihei also took the opportunity to persuade Matsugami Yoshimitsu at this time.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu's ambition to annex the Matsugami family was known to them, so as retainers, they could not tolerate any external factors affecting the great cause of the lord.

"No, this matter is not proper, the banquet of Lord Long Chain cannot be refused."

However, Matsugami Yoshimitsu decisively rejected the proposal of his retainers.

"Lord Long Chain has been helping the Lord since he entered the Shimatsu family in the main hall, and it can be said that Lord Long Chain's kindness to the main hall is that the late righteous deeds are not as good as the sea.

Therefore, for this close friend, this elder's request, the temple can refuse, but it must not prevaricate him, this is the last insistence that the temple can do for the long chain lord now. “

Matsugami Yoshimitsu's true feelings made the words on the lips of the two retainers of Yoshihei Ryoki and Tsuno Yoshihei who wanted to continue to persuade them, and now although it is a world of turmoil, it is also more insistent on some things than in the peaceful and prosperous times.

The decision of the lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu seems to be unwise from the perspective of momentary interests, but it is admirable regardless of the status of a retainer. Although the Warring States Troubled Times did not pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and morality, most of the finalists and final victors in the troubled times were the people with the most bottom lines among a group of brutal people.

On the evening of the same day, Matsugami Yoshimitsu said goodbye to the two retainers and came to the new mansion of the long chain alone to attend the dinner.

At this time, the long chain letter had been waiting at home for a long time, and when he saw Matsugami Yoshimitsu coming, he hurried to the door to greet him.

"Hahahaha~~~, it's really grateful that Yoshimitsu-sama can come to the banquet below!"

Seeing this, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was reluctant to bear it and hurriedly said: "Lord Long Chain is polite, with the friendship between you and me, why do you need to be so polite?" If it's someone else's banquet, the temple doesn't dare to say anything, but the banquet of your long-chain lord will be bothered by the temple. “

Matsugami Yoshimitsu is now a different identity than in the past, and he can say these words, which immediately moved Changlianxin very much. Immediately, he pulled Matsugami Yoshimitsu and said, "Okay, since Yoshimitsu-sama said so, then I will not be formal, and today's banquet has already been prepared, Yoshimitsu-sama, please come with me." “

Saying that, the long chain letter pulled Matsugami Yoshimitsu and walked towards the main hall, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu was not polite and immediately followed.

The main hall of the long chain house.

It seems that Changlianxin really has something to talk to Matsukami Yoshimitsu today, and at this time, there is nothing else in the main hall of the Changlian family except for the two banquets that have already been arranged.

At this moment, there was no one in the main hall except for Nagashinobu and Matsugami Yoshimitsu, and there were no courtesans who used to entertain the ordinary night banquets, nor attendants who served the banquet on the side.

"It seems that this is a Hongmen feast!" Seeing this scene, Matsugami Yoshimitsu couldn't help but smile bitterly, Changlianxin naturally wouldn't harm him, but I'm afraid he would take the opportunity to force himself to agree to some conditions.

However, it was useless to think too much about it, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu poured himself a bowl of wine and said, "Thank you, Lord Long Chain, for today's banquet." Come, Yoshimitsu and I'll toast you first. ”

"Come, Yoshimitsu-sama, please." Seeing this, Chang Lianxin hurriedly poured up a bowl of wine in return.

After you came and I feasted and drank repeatedly, Matsugami Yoshimitsu put down the wine bowl and said solemnly: "Lord Long Chain's help to Nana in Matsugami Castle has been fully informed, and if it were not for Lord Long Chain to save Nana, it would be possible for Nana to return to Matsumoto Castle safely." Nana, although she is only a concubine, she is also very important in the future, after all, she now has the only child in her womb. Today, Yoshimitsu is taking this opportunity to thank Lord Long Chain for his help. Lord Long Chain, please bow down to Yoshimitsu. ”

With that, Matsugami Yoshimitsu walked to the middle and bowed to the long chain.

"Why does Yoshimitsu have to be like this." The long chain letter had no choice but to bow to him, and then hurriedly stepped forward to pull up Matsugami Yoshimitsu and said: "Lord Yoshimitsu's gratitude is really unbearable, in fact, it is actually the decision of Lord Chongyuan to send Mrs. Nana back to Matsumoto Castle. ”

Although Mrs. Changlian Shinri Hona did have the factor entrusted by her best friend, it was more for the stability of the Matsugami family, so he tried his best to push Matsugami Yoshimitsu's gratitude to Chongyuanyuan.

"Even if you are still grateful for the Long Chain Family, how can Chongyuan Academy pay attention to this matter if there is no Long Chain Adult's run."

Matsugami Yoshimitsu still expressed his gratitude to the long chain letter, and then he returned to his seat to drink a glass of wine and said, "Speaking of which, I am afraid that the banquet of Lord Long Chain is something else important to discuss, right?"

The long chain letter, who also returned to the wine table, also took a drink and said, "Since that's the case, you're welcome, I don't know what Yoshimitsu-sama thinks of the current situation in the Matsugami family?"

"The Matsugami family is naturally as stable as Mount Tai." Regarding the question of the long chain letter, Matsugami Yoshimitsu replied with a smile: "Although both the righteous and the righteous hall unfortunately died in the Xinjin Pavilion, but life is only fifty years, who has the reason to live forever." (Fifty years of life does not mean that people can only live for about fifty years, but only refers to a short life) Moreover, Yixing Gong has a grandson and grandson, and the young master of Wusan Pill is left, and the Matsugami family will be inherited by him in the future, which is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. As for me, as retainers, how dare we have any ideas, we just need to continue to be loyal and upright in the future. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu naturally wouldn't pretend to be a loyal minister worried about the national disaster in front of the long chain letter, in fact, he himself was one of the plotters who disturbed the Matsugami family.

"Why should Yoshimitsu deceive you?" The long chain letter was obviously dissatisfied with Matsugami Yoshimitsu's answer, and immediately smiled bitterly.
