Miki Castle Tower.

Disturbed by this sudden news, after Shinji Hitoki appeased her husband's daughter, Hanako, he couldn't wait to summon his son-in-law Nobutada Nishiki, who had returned from the defeated army, and Masadada, the old man of the family, at the castle tower.

"Nobu-sada, meet my father."

"Kizo Masashi is loyal to the lord."

At this moment, it took a lot of hard work for Nobutada Nishiki and Masada Kizo to escape back to Miki Castle, and the two dared to take a break at the end of the defeat, so they were all disgraced. Although it is not enough to talk about losing the armor, but the two of them are also in a messy bun and the armor is scattered, and they look like they are decadent.

"Alas~~~" These two people, one is a close relative of Shinji Renmu, and the other has always been regarded as a confidant by him, originally Shinji Renmu still had the heart to accuse them a few words, but seeing them so miserable, he could only sigh.

"Tell me, how did you lose this battle?" Although Shinji Nishiki understood that the fate of the defeat of the Nishiki family was decided, and it would be useless to do anything, he eventually asked both Nishiki Nobutada and Kizo Masadada about the beginning and end of the Battle of the Kashino Valley.

"Haha." ......

Seeing the inquiry, Nobutada Nishiki and Masataka Kizo complemented each other and informed Nobutada of the scene that happened in the Kano Valley to Nobutada Nishiki.

"Alas~~~, it's a failure." After listening to the narrative of the two, Shinji Nishiki couldn't help but say with hatred on the ground.

This Shinji Renki is also a person who knows the soldiers, so he can naturally see the pity of the defeat of Kano Valley this time, but it also makes him feel very sorry and regretful. If Nobutaha Nishiki hadn't been greedy and had to kill Heinobu Ohno, maybe the fate of the Nishiki family would have been completely different from what it is now, and if Kizo Masadada persuaded Nobutaha Renki, I'm afraid the Renki family wouldn't be in the same situation as it is now.

"Father!"

"Lord!"

"Faithfulness, righteousness and loyalty, please punish you." Seeing that Shinji Renki was so annoyed, Nobutada and Masada Kizo, who were already panicked in their hearts, hurriedly leaned over and pleaded guilty.

"You don't need to do this, get up!" In the face of the plea of the two, Shinji Renki didn't want to punish them, and the temptation to kill Ohno Heinobu directly thought that even he himself couldn't ignore it. Moreover, with the current situation of the Renmu family, even if he punished Renmu Nobutada and Kizo Masadada, it would be useless, so why should he do more?

Thinking of this, when Renmu Shinji saw that the two of them were still kneeling, he comforted them again: "You don't need to blame yourself too much, the main hall knows about the affairs of the Kano Valley." Even if the main hall was present at that time, the Heavenly Law did a better job than you. The situation is so destiny that it is not in my Renmu, and it has nothing to do with you. Now that the defeat of the Renki family is doomed, the former anger in the heart of Renmu Shinji has become much less tolerant.

"Uh-huh~~Hmm~~~." Suddenly, there was a cry from Nobutaha Nishiki, who had been kneeling.

"Xinzhen, what does this mean?" When Nishiki Shinji Mogado asked him, he turned his back and cried loudly, "Father, Nobuzhen is incompetent, so that the family has lost the opportunity to win by this great defeat. Originally, when the battle was defeated in the Kano Valley, Nobutada should have committed suicide by seppuku to protect the prestige of the Renmu family, but he thought that he should give his father an explanation before he survived. I don't want my father to forgive Shin-sada's sins, and Shin-sage is really grateful. But why did Shin-jeong survive in the world anymore, and now he is just repaying the kindness of the Renmu family with death in front of his father. Father, goodbye in the next life. ”

After that, Nobutaha Nishiki, who was crying in pain, pulled out his ribs and wanted to commit suicide by seppuku again.

"Shin Shya ......"

"Zhengzhong, stop him."

Renki Shinji didn't expect that Renki Nobutaha would be so strong and wanted to commit suicide by seppuku, and in a panic, he saw that he couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly asked Muzo Masada on the side to stop Renki Nobutada, who wanted to apologize for his seppuku.

"Your Highness Xinzhen, don't impulsively disobey the good intentions of the lord."

"Your Highness Muzhuang, don't stop me. What shame do I have to live in the world now?" ......

Kizo Masataka got the life of Nishiki Shinji, and from now on, he hurriedly went to stop Renki Nobutada, who wanted to cut his stomach, but Renzaku Nobutada, who was determined to die at this time, how could he easily give up and get entangled with Kizo Masatada, who stopped him.

Seeing that the two were still arguing, Renmu Nobuzhen walked over with the folding fan in his hand, slammed Renmu Nobutada's head several times, and scolded: "Stupid! Idiot!"

"Father!" At this moment, he was directly stunned by Renmu Nobuzhen, who wanted to cut his stomach, and he was stunned all of a sudden.

Seeing this, Shinji Hitoki then scolded: "As a samurai, how can you easily apologize for your sins with death because of a success or failure, and such cowardice is even more humiliating to a samurai." What's the point if the city is gone? What is the land when it is gone? Didn't the ancestors of my Renmu family also have nothing at the beginning? This Miki Castle was created by the Renmu family after several generations of struggle. As long as Renmu's family name remains, we will have the city and land again one day. Xinzhen, in the future, I am willing to work with my father to rebuild my family business. ”

Although during the Warring States period, many samurai such as Shibata and Takeda would choose to commit suicide to wash away their shame when their family business was defeated, but more often they chose to live strong and wait for the day when the family business was revived.

The Renmu family turned out to be just a small wealthy family under the wealthy family, and Shinji Renmu, who was familiar with the way of survival in the Warring States, naturally would not want to cut his stomach because of the loss of his family business. In his opinion, such behavior was extremely stupid and cowardly, and the samurai should have the tenacious vitality to wait for the revival of the family business. Therefore, Renki Shinji severely reprimanded his son-in-law who wanted to cut his stomach, Renki Nobutada, after all, if you want to revive the family business, you must first have a healthy heir to convince others.

"Father, Shin Zhen knows that he is wrong. In the future, Shin-jung will definitely follow her father to restore my family business in Ninki. "Nobusada Nishiki was awakened by his father-in-law's words, and seppuku is indeed the behavior of a coward.

"My lord, I will also be in the future to restore the family's business." Seeing this, Mu Zao Zhengzhong on the side also hurriedly said, he was also happy to see that his family had a direction again.

The strong support of the retainers naturally made Shinji Renmu very happy, and he quickly helped the two of them up and said with a smile: "That's good!" That's it! With your help, I believe that the new city land will soon be in my own house. ”

After a while, Shinji Hitoki said to his son-in-law Nobutaha Hitoki, "Nobuzhen, you go and see Hanako first." She is very worried about you, and the family will have a hard time in the future. ”

"Haha." Soon Nobutaha Nishiki withdrew from the castle tower, and he missed his wife Hanako very much.

After Nishiki Nobutada retreated, then Nishiki Shinji said to Kizo Masatada, who was left behind: "Masatda, you are also an old minister of the family, and the main hall left you behind because I want you to go to the main camp of the Ohno family as the name of the main hall." ”

"Nayo?" Muzao Zhengzhong couldn't help but say in surprise when he heard this.
