At night, in the quiet courtyard of the Long Chain House.

Faced with Matsugami Yoshimitsu's hesitation, Changlianping seemed to have a guess and asked, "Is Brother Yoshimitsu unhappy with his father because of the affairs of the main family?"

"Alas~~~, Lord Long Chain is too loyal!" Matsugami Yoshimitsu sighed helplessly, after all, it is really difficult to say whether the choice of the long chain letter is right or wrong.

However, Nagakanhei clearly had a different opinion about his father's approach, and he continued to sigh and complain with Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

"Alas~~~, Brother Yoshimitsu, my father is not loyal but too pedantic. Although loyalty is a virtue that must be observed by our samurai, there is no longer a loyal head of the family who can bear the responsibility of the retainers. If we persist like this, not to mention the Matsugami family, I'm afraid even our Changlian family will have to be buried together!"

Although the current situation of the Matsugami family has not yet reached the point where everyone knows it, Changlianping, who is the sister-in-law of the long chain family, also knows the roots. However, unlike his father, Nagakanshin, who was loyal to the Matsugami family, Nagashihei, who was young and wanted to make a career, did not have much loyalty to the Matsugami family. Even Nagazehei himself wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Matsugami family to gain some benefits, but it was obviously impossible to achieve it because of the existence of Nagashino, so Nagashihei was very dissatisfied with Nagashinoshi's stubbornness.

What can Matsugami say about this? Nagajitai's attitude gave him a chance to pull the Nagatanian family into his camp in the future, but it was definitely not now, so Matsugami Yoshimitsu just walked up to Nagazehei and patted him on the shoulder.

"Heishichiro, although I have different political views from Lord Nagachain, I still admire Yoshimitsu-sama's choice today. You help me convey a word to Lord Nagachain.,In the future, no matter how the Matsugami family is, the friendship between Matsumoto Castle and the Nagachain family will be remembered.。 ”

"Brother Yoshimitsu......"

After saying that, Matsugami Yoshimitsu turned around and left the long chain house, and the long chain looked at the departing figure of Matsugami Yoshimitsu and thought about it, and immediately rushed to the main hall of his house to meet his father, Long Chain Letter.

"Yoshimitsu-sama is gone, right?"

Changlianxin, who was still in the main hall, saw Changlianping break in, so he asked him. However, Changlianping was a little angry and rushed to Changlianxin to question him, "Why is my father so pedantic? Now that the Matsugami family is in the twilight, the western mountains will fall into the hands of the strong sooner or later, and Matsumoto Castle, the eldest brother of Yoshimitsu, is obviously one of the strong men of the current family.

So ~~~, such a situation! The people of this family are not close to Brother Yoshimitsu, and the Long Chain family has a deep relationship with Matsumoto Castle, why does my father ignore his kindness so much? ”

Faced with a hysterical questioning by Changlianping, Changlianxin said unmoved: "The Changlian family is different from other families, and his father is also deeply favored by the two generations of heads of the Matsugami family, and he is entrusted with the position of the elder of the family. If so, how can the world treat me as a long-chain letter and look at my long-chain family. ”

"But!" Changlianping couldn't help but defend: "Now that the Matsugami family is about to fall, is my father's reluctance to turn his back on it because he wants the Changlian family to be buried with the Matsugami family?" ”

Does the long chain letter really not understand what the long chain is worried about? With his old political vision, of course, he can see this even more thoroughly than his eldest son, Changlianping, but Changlianxin can only be loyal to the Matsugami family to the end.

"You're right, but it's been more than a hundred years since the Nagachain family became a retainer of the Matsukami family! Can such a long-chain family switch to another family before the main family perishes? Nowadays, although it is the end of the Dharma in the Buddhist scriptures, the samurai's requirements for samurai loyalty are more stringent, but the long chain of samurai in the countryside will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Ise as a samurai family if they lose the loyalty of the samurai.

Idiot! Today's long-chain family has long been inseparable from the fate of the Matsugami family. ”

There is indeed hatred in this world for no reason, but there is absolutely no love that does not need a reason, and it is naturally not for nothing that the long chain letter is so loyal to the Matsugami family. Of course, this is because he is deeply favored by the Matsugami family, but more because the long chain family is inseparable from the Matsugami family.

The long chain letter understands that if the long chain family wants to vote for a new master, they must first be loyal to the Matsugami family until death, otherwise the long chain family that has lost the name of loyalty will not be able to gain a foothold in the world.

In the end, Changlianping still left with a full of depression, but only he knows whether the ambition in his heart has been suppressed.

Long Chain Xin looked at the figure of Long Chain Ping and breathed a long sigh of relief, this son has ambition but still lacks a little patience!

"Hey~~~, what an eventful season! I hope the turmoil in my family will end as soon as possible! "The long-chain belief and the current helplessness are a little helpless. ......

However, the next day, early in the morning, Chongyuan Temple suddenly sent a maid to summon the long chain letter.

"Lord Long Chain, Lord Chongyuan-in has something to summon you to visit the castle tower."

After leaving such a sentence, the maid left in a hurry, and the summoning of Chongyuan Yuan was naturally not easy to postpone, and immediately he hurried to Songshang City.

Matsugami Castle Tower.

"Long chain letter to meet Lord Chongyuan."

"Lord Long Chain, you're here, hurry up and excuse me."

At this time, Chongyuan Temple had obviously been waiting for the long chain letter in the castle tower for a long time, and as soon as he saw the long chain letter paying homage, he hurriedly asked him to get up, obviously he had something to say.

"Haha."

Chongyuan Academy's desire to speak was naturally unable to conceal the long-term chain of letters, so he took the initiative to ask: "Chongyuan Academy summoned me so early, I don't know what happened?" ”

"This ......"

Chongyuan Yuan pretended to hesitate for a while before he spoke: "Now that this family has been in turmoil since the death of the righteous and righteous prince, thanks to a loyal and upright minister like Lord Changlian, there has been no big storm, which Mrs. Ben has always been grateful for, but an incident that happened yesterday made Mrs. Ben feel worried.

Originally, Mrs. Ben didn't want to suspect Lord Longchain because of this, but since Lord Longchain said so, Mrs. Ben would ask Lord Longchain to forgive Mrs. Ben for her rudeness. ”

"How dare you, how dare you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and you will definitely know everything in the future. ”

"Mrs. Ben is truly grateful for the loyalty of Lord Longchain!"

Chongyuan Yuan looked moved as she wiped her tears with her sleeve, but she quickly recovered and said, "Since that's the case, I won't shy away from it anymore." Mrs. Ben heard that Lord Changchain had a night banquet yesterday, and Lord Yoshimitsu didn't know if this was true or not?"

"What!" The long chain letter was suddenly frozen.
