"Lord Long Chain, please get up!"

Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't expect Nagagami to kneel and beg him, and hurriedly supported him with his hand, but Nagagami seemed to be determined to agree to this matter, and couldn't help him.

"Yoshimitsu-sama! cough~~~, cough~~~, please be sure to agree to the request below. ”

Long Chain Letter grabbed Matsugami Yoshimitsu tightly with his hand and struggled to say.

At this moment, Matsugami Yoshimitsu understood that Changlian Xin would not change his request, so he had to promise: "Okay! If the young master of Wusanmaru is willing to live a stable life in the future, then he is willing to give him a stable life. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu didn't really care about how to deal with Gosanmaru, after all, in an environment like the Warring States Period, he didn't actually pursue the way of extermination, because he didn't know when he would become the new loser.

The reason why Matsugami Yoshimitsu was reluctant to promise before was just because he didn't want to be subject to his promise in the future, but since this was a dying request from Long Chain Letter, he was not afraid to agree for the time being.

"Thank you, Yoshimitsu-sama."

Changlianxin obviously knew that he was embarrassed by some strong people, and after thanking him, he was shameless to face Matsugami Yoshimitsu again, so he had to fall back on the bed, and it was obvious that the previous conversation had exhausted his strength.

"Then, Lord Long Chain, I'll take my leave." Seeing this, Matsugami Yoshimitsu also knew that the long chain letter had run out of oil, and he didn't want to hold this old friend anymore, so he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Seeing that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was leaving, the long chain letter didn't stay, but struggled and said to the long chain: "Send ...... Give....... ”

"Yes, Father." Nagatanhei understood what his father meant, and hurriedly followed Matsugami Yoshimitsu and walked out.

Long chain outside the door.

Changlianping said to Matsugami Yoshimitsu with great gratitude: "Brother Yoshimitsu, I am grateful that you can come to visit my father today.

Besides, please don't take your father's request to the Lord's family to heart if it makes Brother Yoshimitsu embarrassed.

Today, you can promise your father that he will have no regrets, and it is a great favor to your family, and the affairs of the main family are really not all satisfactory. ”

Obviously, unlike the long chain letter that is loyal to the main family, the long chain flat who joined the Shimatsu family at the end of the year is more concerned about the future survival of the long chain family.

Although in the future, for the sake of the reputation of the Long Chain Family, Long Chain Ping will have to try his best to protect the Five Three Pills, but now in front of Matsugami Yoshimitsu, he also wants to try his best to divide the boundary with the old master.

Of course, Matsugami Yoshimitsu also understands that Changlianxin's entrustment today is tantamount to indicating that the Changlianjia is going to surrender to him, and Changlianping is showing loyalty to himself at this time.

Therefore, Matsugami Yoshimitsu quickly promised Nagachainhei: "I Yoshimitsu understands the loyalty of Lord Nagachain, not to mention that the dead Yoshikotsu also has the grace of knowing me." Today, even if there is no long chain to ask me, Yoshimitsu will try his best to protect the young master of Gosanmaru, and you don't need to worry about it Heishichiro.

What's more, Lord Long Chain also entrusted the Long Chain Family to me, and in the future, the Long Chain Family and Matsumoto Castle will also be one.

Okay, you can go and protect Lord Longchain with peace of mind, and the rest will be left to me Yoshimitsu. ”

Matsugami then rode back, while Nagakanhei hurriedly returned to the house to take care of his father.

However, as soon as Changlianping entered the room, he saw a shocking scene, and his father, Changlianxin, who was supposed to be lying on the bed and dying, actually sat up at this time.

I saw that his eyes were staring straight at the long chain flat who entered the room, although his face was still pale, but there was no trace of the previous death.

"Father!" Long Chain, who did not expect this, suddenly screamed in surprise and joy.

Originally, it was a little hard to believe that Chang Lianxin, who had always been healthy, suddenly became critically ill, but what he saw at this moment made him have a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Father, you ...... it"

However, the long chain letter quickly shattered his son's expectations.

"Heishichiro, don't be too obsessed with life and death."

The long chain letter, who understood the son's intentions, unexpectedly said: "It is true that the father is not destined for the future, but this is not to follow the will of heaven but to follow the will of the father himself." ”

"What!" Long Chain Ping immediately looked at Long Chain Letter with a hard time, he really couldn't think of a reason for his father to beg for death.

However, the long chain letter also made him wonder for too long, and slowly took out a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and said, "Do you know what is in this bottle?" Dove poison!" Saying that, Changlianxin actually poured a pill from the bottle in front of Changlianping and took it, obviously he planned to commit suicide by taking poison early in the morning.

"Father!" Changlianping was anxious to stop his father from believing in the letter, but it was obviously too late.

Changlian Xin slowly put away the porcelain vase and said calmly: "Heiqiro, don't worry about being a father, everything in the future must be in mind of the Changlian family." Life is as short as morning dew, so what's the difference between dying early and dying late?

What's more, seeing that the family business of the Matsugami family is about to change hands to others, he has to die for the sake of the long chain family as his father. ”

"What does the Matsugami family have to do with the family, and why does my father bother to seek death! In addition, in the troubled times, the name of the family is important, and if the father has no intention of changing his life to seclusion, why should he die for the Matsugami family. ”

It is very difficult to understand the decision of the long chain letter, and in his opinion, this may be what the Akito calls pedantic.

"You're right." Changlianxin did not refute his son's point of view, but said very approvingly: "In this troubled era of the Warring States, it is indeed too stupid to pay too much attention to loyalty, and it is not that the father does not understand what you say."

"Why?" Seeing this, Long Chain Ping hurriedly asked.

The long chain letter seemed to anticipate this and continued: "However, this troubled world will always pass, and then the way of loyalty and righteousness will surely become the way for our samurai to live and survive.

It has been more than 30 years since his father joined the Matsugami family, and if his father did not do anything when the Matsugami family was dying, then the long chain family would definitely be spurned by the world.

However, judging from today's world events, the defeat of the Matsugami family has become irreversible, and if the long-chain family goes against the general trend, it will be difficult to survive.

Therefore, for the survival of the long-chain family in the future, the father must not steal his life, so as to cut off the bonds between the long-chain family and the Matsugami family.

From now on, whether Yoshimitsu-sama or Hianobu Ohno wins the Matsugami family, you just have to follow the victor among them. In this way, the choice to take dove poison for his father to die was not in vain, and the Long Chain family will ask you in the future. ”

After saying this, he kept silent and began to wait for death.

"Father!" Long Chain opened his mouth to say something, but he reluctantly retreated.

Three days later, the Matsugami family's important minister, Nagashi Nobu, died of illness in the residence.

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in the Matsugami family, and the long chain letter entered the Matsugami family for three generations, a total of decades, and had extraordinary prestige in the hearts of everyone. Matsugami Yoshimitsu and Ohno Heinobu have not dared to directly seize power so far, and they may not have no scruples about the reason for the long chain letter, but now the Matsugami family is even worse.
