Chapter Eighty-Three: Departure

On the second day, Matsugami Yoshimitsu went to Yuanmei Temple early in the morning to meet Matsugami Yoshiyuki.

"Meet the lord in Xia Yiguang."

"Yoshimitsu, why did you come to this hall? No matter what it is, you can say it directly, and you have a lot of credit for being able to pacify the Xinjin Pavilion so quickly this time. Hahahaha. Matsugami Yoshiyuki very politely summoned Matsugami Yoshimitsu at his residence. In this battle of Shinjinkan, Matsugami Yoshimitsu risked his death to deliver the letter, which can be regarded as the first contribution, and the Matsugami family is now greatly strengthened, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu is not so guarded.

"Haha." Matsugami Yoshimitsu showed a very touched look at Matsugami Yoshiyuki's preferential treatment, and then he said sincerely. "My lord, now I have seen a lot of chaos in the Xinjin Territory, and I am very uneasy, so I came to report this matter to the lord."

"Chaos?" Matsugami muttered to himself and asked. "Yoshimitsu is talking about the robbery of the villagers in the Shinjin Territory." Matsugami Yoshiyuki immediately guessed what Matsugami Yoshimitsu wanted to say, after all, if it was something else, he would have received a report a long time ago.

"Exactly." Matsugami Yoshimitsu confirmed Matsukami's guess and said after a pause. "Now the entire villagers of Shinjin are miserable by the family's ashigaru. Yoshimitsu thought that if the family didn't stop this, it was very likely that it would happen, and you must know that the Ichijo sect of Ise Province has always been eyeing my samurai. Yoshimitsu pleaded with the lord to stop this. After speaking, Matsugami Yoshimitsu solemnly bowed to Xixiang for a long time.

"Hahahaha." Matsugami laughed out loud at the concern expressed by Matsugami Yoshimitsu. After laughing, he said nonchalantly. "Yoshimitsu, you're too worried. They can't do much with a few untouchables, and besides, the ashigaru of their own family also need a reward. ”

"My lord, don't be careless. Since the Yingren Rebellion, many famous martial artists have been ruined, so you must be cautious. Matsugami Yoshimitsu ignored Matsugami's excuse and continued to persuade.

"Okay, the main hall knows, you can step down." At this time, Matsugami Yoshiyuki gradually became a little dissatisfied with Matsugami Yoshimitsu's ignorance, and his face lost his initial enthusiasm and became a little cold.

"Haha, I finally can't help it." Matsugami Yoshimitsu quickly noticed the change in Matsugami Yoshiyuki and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He ignored Matsugami Yoshiyuki's coldness and said very excitedly. "Lord, in the past, Tang Tu Tang Taizong once said, "The king is the boat, and the people are the water; Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. ”。 Although the lords are weak, if the lord treats them brutally, they will also burst out with the power to destroy the world. What's more, there are still many retainers in the Xinjin family who hate their own family, and the lord should act more cautiously now. Otherwise, the family will be in danger of destruction, and then let alone the annexation of Shinjin, I'm afraid that the name of the Matsugami family will be difficult to preserve. ”

"Bold. Daring. How dare you speak wildly, what a bastard. Matsugami Yoshiyuki was completely enraged by Matsugami Yoshimitsu's words, and the bat fan in his hand became tighter and tighter.

The Matsugami family had always been an inconspicuous small wealthy family before Matsugami Yoshiyuki, but now with Matsugami Yoshiyuki's efforts, they will not only annex the famous samurai family Shinjin in Yuanmu County, but also have the possibility of developing into a Sengoku daimyo. Now Matsugami Yoshimitsu dares to be alarmist about his Matsugami family, and there is a possibility of destruction, which is unbearable in the eyes of Matsugami Yoshiyuki, who is now complacent.

Finally, Matsugami Yoshiyuki's anger could not be bearable, and he threw the bat fan in his hand to the ground at once, then stood up and walked up to Matsugami Yoshimitsu and kicked him down and scolded. "Get out, get back to your Matsumoto Castle. Your deeds are gone, and the temple does not want to see you. ”

"Haha." Matsugami Yoshimitsu achieved his goal, pretending to be sincerely frightened, and soon left. ......

In the afternoon of the same day, Matsugami Yoshimitsu quickly set out on his way home with his retainers and a dozen ashigaru from Matsumoto Castle after ordering the ashigaru to reorganize a little.

On the road.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu rode on his horse and looked at the Shintsukan that was gradually moving away, and couldn't help but sigh. "Finally leaving the place of right and wrong of Shintsukan, it has nothing to do with our Matsumoto Castle in the future."

Saigo Kanhisa on the side also said with a mocking face. "My lord, Matsugami Yoshiyuki is not competing for the power of the world, and it seems that the opportunity for our Matsumoto Castle will come soon."

"Haha, Guan Jiu, you are right, and soon this opportunity will come, and then the main hall will rely on your help." Being able to stay away from the Shinjin Pavilion also became easier for Yoshimitsu Matsukami.

"Haha." Saigo Kanjiu responded excitedly, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked again. "Lord, what are we going to do next? Do you want to go straight back to Matsumoto Castle? ”

This was originally a nonsense in Saigo's eyes, but Matsugami Yoshimitsu said. "Kanhisa, the main hall is not going to return directly to Matsumoto Castle this time. The main hall wants to go to Iga this time, and Takahisa and Nagamasa will accompany the main hall, so you can take the others back to Matsumoto Castle first. In addition, Nana, you can send a few more people, and if there is a change, you will immediately rescue her back to Matsumoto Castle. ”

"Iga? It's an eventful time now, so what are you doing in Iga? Saigo Kanhisa asked puzzled when he heard that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was going to Iga.

"Kankuhisa, have you forgotten the ninja who assassinated the main hall that day? The power of ninjas is really terrifying, and the main hall has long wanted to recruit a group of ninjas to serve the main hall, and now it is time to go to the legendary ninja country to have a look. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said what he thought in the face of Saigo Kanhisa's question.

"Haha, take care of everything, lord." Saigo Kanhisa knew that he couldn't persuade Matsugami Yoshimitsu, so he had to hope that he would return safely.

"I'll leave everything to you." Matsugami Yoshimitsu persuaded Saigo to take his retinue to Iga Province soon after, while Saigo Kanhisa rushed to Matsumoto Castle with the rest of the men. ......

On the other side, after Matsugami Yoshimitsu left the Shintsu Pavilion. A conspiracy against Matsugami Yoshiyuki is also unfolding among the former ministers of Shintsu.

Ryozo Tsugi was beaten in front of everyone by Yoshiyuki Matsugami in public, and has been hiding in his house to recuperate from his injuries since then. The reward was cut, the public was humiliated, and the hatred of Matsugami Yoshiyuki in the heart of the grief became more and more intense. Finally, Ryozo Doki couldn't help but decide to take revenge on Matsugami Yoshiyuki. After recovering from his injury, Tsuchiki Ryozo first visited his old ally, Mrs. Yuno, but Mrs. Yuno avoided him because she was afraid of the power of the Matsugami family. In desperation, Ryozo Doki decided to visit his former political rival, Sajiro Doi. ......

Sajiro Doi, Yashiki.

Sajiro Doi has regained his freedom since the last time he sent a message to Mrs. Yuno. At this time, he looked at the somewhat depressed Tsuchiki Ryozo in front of him and said with emotion. "Tsuki-sama, life under the Matsugami family must be difficult."

"Huh." Ryozo Doki said with a wry smile. "It's really a shame to be like this now. If Zai and Doi-sama had supported His Royal Highness Guangguo in general and did not provoke the civil strife in his own family, I think the Shinzu family would not be like this today. ”

Regarding the confession of Ryozo Tsuki, Sajiro Tsukiki remained silent. He is not a stupid person, and many things can be understood when he is quiet.

At this time, Ryozo Doki suddenly moved to Sajiro Doi and said. "Is Doi-sama going to watch the family business left by the ancestor be swallowed up by the Matsukami family?"

"What do you mean?" Sajiro Doi asked cautiously.

Ryozo Tsuchigi said excitedly at this time. "Lord Doi, there are now many retainers in the family who hate the evil deeds of the Matsugami family, and the people of the Shintsu Domain are also under the oppression of the Matsugami army. I came here this time to join forces with Lord Doi to get rid of the Matsugami family, so that the family business of the Shinjin family can continue. ”

"Do you want to hand over the family business to Mrs. Yuno's mother and son? It is highly likely that they participated in the murder of the Ancestor and His Highness the Light Kingdom. "Sajiro Doi is very loyal to the Niizu family, but he is really unwilling to let Mrs. Yuno's mother and son get the family business of the Niizu family.

"This?" Ryozo Tsukigi thought about it and said. "Lord Doi, His Royal Highness Yoshisada is the only bloodline of the Shinjin family today, and I think the ancestors will forgive him for the continuation of the family business. If it really doesn't work, we can first let His Royal Highness Yizhen act as the head of the family, and then we will set up another head of the family after he gives birth to an heir. What does Doi-sama think? ”

In the Warring States Period, the samurai were the most important family name inheritance, and Doi Sajiro thought of the kindness of the ancestor Hikari and said firmly. "Okay, Master Civil Engineering, according to what you say, let's write a letter of alliance."

"Haha, that's the best." The achievement of the goal of Ryōsō Tsukiki finally put his mind at ease. ......
