Five days later, after a lot of travel. Saigo Kanhisa and Kanai Yoshira escorted Nana, who was about to be taken hostage, and finally arrived at Matsugami Castle.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki was very satisfied with Matsugami Yoshimitsu's hostage delivery, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who had been detained in Matsugami Castle for several days, finally received permission to return to Matsumoto Castle. However, after Matsugami handed over the hostages, he was punished for violating the laws of the Matsugami family.

This morning, Matsugami Castle Castle Tower. Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who was about to return to Matsumoto Castle, was summoned to the Matsugami Castle Tower before leaving, this time supposedly to announce the disposition of Matsugami Yoshimitsu. However, to Matsugami's surprise, he only saw the long chain letter in the castle tower, and Matsugami Yoshiyuki himself did not appear.

Long Chain Shin said with a smile as he looked at Yoshimitsu Matsugami, who was sitting across from him. "It's a great pleasure to be able to return to Matsumoto Castle after a few days!"

For the long chain of letters, Matsugami Yoshimitsu is very grateful. When he was detained in Matsugami Castle, Nagachain Nobu secretly helped Saigo Kanjiu a lot. This was reported to him afterwards by Saigo Kanhisa. Otherwise, with Xixiang Guan, he would not be able to find out any news in Songshang City alone, after all, he was in a worrying situation at the beginning.

At this time, he was able to see the long chain letter again, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu said gratefully. "This time, I was able to return to Matsumoto Castle safely, thanks to the great help of the Long Chain Palace. The kindness of the Long Chain Palace, Yoshimitsu is grateful. After saying that, Matsugami Yoshimitsu bowed down to the long chain letter.

For Matsugami Yoshimitsu's salute, Xie Changlianxin did not shirk it, and the samurai paid attention to a clear grievance. After Matsugami Yoshimitsu saluted him, the long chain shin said with a smile. "Yiguang Palace's words are serious, and it's just a matter of raising your hands. Mainly because the lord values you very much. ”

The long chain letter is different from Matsugami Yoshimitsu, the new retainer. The Nagachain family has been loyal to the Matsugami family for generations, and Nagachain Shin himself is also loyal to Matsukami's righteous deeds. For the loyal act of the long chain letter, Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who has already made up his mind to make a decision with Matsugami Yoshiyuki, is both helpless and admiring. After a moment of silence, Matsugami Yoshimitsu said firmly. "In short, the kindness and righteousness of the Changlian family to the next will never be forgotten."

Long Chain Letter said with a sigh. "Yiguangdian's mind is understood. Now, let me read out the Lord's decision on the violation of the laws of the family by the Righteous Light Temple. ”

"Haha." Matsugami bowed down again and said he would listen carefully. After waiting for Matsugami Yoshimitsu to straighten up, he took out a piece of paper from his bosom and spread it out and read it. "Matsugami Yoshimitsu, the lord of Matsumoto Castle, the general of the main family, started a war with the Katayama family without the permission of the main hall, and did not report to the main hall in time afterwards that he seriously violated the laws of the family. He should have been given seppuku and deprived of his knowledge and deeds to show that his family's rewards and punishments were clear. However, he has made a lot of contributions to his family, and he is specially forgiven. Today, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was sentenced to 300 pieces and 50 bamboo guns as punishment. ”

Matsugami's move was to weaken Matsumoto Castle's strength, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu had been mentally prepared for this. At this time, after hearing the long chain letter read out the disposition of himself, he hurriedly said. "Haha, thank the lord in Xia Yiguang." After speaking, Matsugami Yoshimitsu stepped forward to take the punishment certificate read out by the long chain letter, and then returned to his original position and sat down again.

At this time, the business between Matsugami Yoshimitsu and Nagachain Shin ended, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu took this opportunity to discuss private matters with Nagakushin. Nana is hostage in Matsugami Castle, and her safety Matsugami Yoshimitsu is very worried. The long chain letter is very trusted by Matsugami Yoshimitsu, so he plans to entrust Nana's safety in Matsugami Castle to the long chain letter.

"Long Chain Palace, there is a matter of asking for something in private, I wonder if the Long Chain Hall can answer it?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu has a deep friendship with Nagashinobu, so he directly makes his request.

Sure enough, the long chain letter said without hesitation. "Yiguang Temple, please speak, I will do my best in the future."

Matsugami Yoshimitsu said with a smile when he saw the long chain letter answering. "Then you're welcome to be below.,In the side room below, Nana is pregnant, and now she's in Matsugami Castle. I want to entrust her safety to the Long Chain Palace. ”

"This matter is easy, and the safety of Mrs. Nana is in my hands." Long Chain Letter said solemnly.

"That's what I'm grateful for." Matsugami Yoshimitsu thanked him again. ......

On the second day, Matsugami Yoshimitsu, accompanied by his old Saigo Kanhisa, visited Mrs. Yoshino again with a generous gift, after which they set out on their journey back to Matsumoto Castle. Originally, Matsugami Yoshimitsu planned to return to Matsumoto Castle directly, but the elder Saigo Kanhisa mentioned that Mrs. Yoshino was the young lady of the Kujo family in Kyoto. This gave Matsugami the idea of deepening the covenant with Lady Yoshino. As for Nana, Matsugami Yoshimitsu hasn't seen her since she came to Matsugami Castle. It's not that it can't, it's just that the act of handing over the hostages helplessly made Matsugami Yoshimitsu shameless to see him. The moment he walked out of Matsugami Castle, Matsugami Yoshimitsu looked back at Matsugami Castle and secretly resolved in his heart that he would never let such a humiliating situation happen again.

Matsumoto Castle was not very close to Matsukami Castle, but Matsugami Yoshimitsu and Saigo Kanhisa rode fast horses back to Matsumoto Castle that afternoon. To Matsugami's surprise, even though he did not announce his return date, the retainers of Matsumoto Castle were all waiting for him. As soon as Matsugami Yoshimitsu entered the city, the retainers who stayed behind surrounded him and expressed their concern.

"Lord, we finally hope you back."

"Lord, if you don't come back, we will lead the troops to snatch you back."

"It's a pity that I'm incompetent, and Mrs. Nana is still a hostage." ............

Listening to the concerned words of his retainers, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was moved by their loyalty. He bowed to his retainers and said with emotion. "Yoshimitsu Yoshimitsu's return to Matsumoto Castle today is thanks to your efforts and loyalty. The main hall will not forget your friendship with the main hall. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu is not talking politely, nor is he buying people's hearts. He knew very well in his heart that although Lady Yoshino and Nagachain Shin had helped him a lot this time, he was able to return to Matsumoto Castle safely thanks to these loyal retainers. Otherwise, even if you hand over 100 Nana yourself, you won't be able to come back.

The retainers were moved by Matsugami Yoshimitsu's words, and they did not expect Matsugami Yoshimitsu to remember his exploits. Or maybe they didn't expect that they would have a meritorious record in this incident. After all, they didn't saddle up like Saigo Kanhisa, all they could do was be loyal to their duties, but Matsugami Yoshimitsu knew that this was the most precious.

"Hey, hey, hey." I don't know who among the retainers got up and began to cheer.

"Hey, hey, hey," so the others, including Matsugami Yoshimitsu, couldn't help cheering when they saw it.

"Hey, hey, hey." Suddenly, the entire Matsumoto Castle was in a state of cheers.

At this time, the hearts of the people of Matsumoto Castle were condensed, and it can be called a million hearts.
