At night, Miki Castle was utterly silent, even though it was in wartime. Except for the occasional murmur of a few peasant soldiers on the night watch, and the occasional sound of birds chirping, insects, and the wind and grass, there was no other sound in Miki Castle, after all, everyone was used to war.

As for night attacks, this is an act that has always been reserved for the weak and the adventurers in the warring states where soldiers are ordinary night blind, so in the face of the attack of the Ono family, which is stronger than himself, the whole of Miki Castle at night is much more relieved.

"Sa...... Sa~~~ Sata! Fast...... Look! Let's see what's going on. "In the silent midnight of the night, suddenly a sharp voice resounded throughout Miki Castle, and it was surprising to see a variety of emotions such as fear, shock, panic, and worry.

"Sansuke, what are you shouting in the middle of the night! Just keep a good vigil, and I'll rest for you in a while. Apparently, it was a peasant of the night watch named Sansuke who made a rough and complicated noise, and the companion he called for was obviously impatient and even annoyed by this. No matter how ignorant people are in Miki City, they also know the truth of not fighting at night, so Sansuke is a little disturbing to people's dreams.

"No, Sata! Hurry up and look in the direction of Ohara Village, and see if our village is on fire. Not only the village, but also the wheat fields are also shining!" The peasants of Miki Castle were recruited by the nearby village of Ohara Village and other places, so the peasant soldiers Sansuke was very eager to discuss what he had discovered.

"Alright, alright, I'll get up and replace you! It's really boring to scare me about the village on fire, what nonsense are you talking about in the middle of the night, be careful with the city lord, they know about punishing you. "Nongbing Sata and Sansuke have always had a close relationship, and at this time he thought that his companion was lying to him, but he slowly opened his eyes.

It seems that Sansuke is also tired, and he is forced to start telling lies and deceiving me! When will this difficult day come to an end! The peasant soldier who slowly got up thought so, but after a while, he was shocked by the scene under his eyes and was speechless.

The flames, the flames of the heroes, the flames of the heroes that I have seen before, are burning in the direction of Ohara Village. The fire was so high that it connected to the night sky, and half of the night sky in the direction of Ohara Village seemed to be daylight under the light of the fire.

"Ah~~~Ah......" Nongbing Sata and Sansuke were so shocked that they could barely speak, and could only let out exclamations of "Ah~~~", "Ah~~~". The voice was sharp and sharp, and for a moment the whole city of Miki was awakened by them.

......

The long night turned into day in an instant, but it was extremely difficult for anyone in Miki Castle. At night, nothing could be done, but during the day, the peasants and soldiers of Miki Castle became riotous.

"Well, what the hell is going on! How did the good village burn down? My father and mother are all in the village! The wheat fields all looked burned out. What can I do now?" A young peasant soldier stood feebly at the city gate and muttered to himself worriedly.

A companion next to him also said with some complaint: "Who said it wasn't? The lord of the castle and Lord Nobusada, they still won't let us out of the city. Damn, the village is gone, what are we still doing defending the city?" ......

Forbidden to leave the city, the peasants and soldiers of Miki Castle gathered in one place, either worrying about the future or taking revenge. In fact, most of the peasants and soldiers in Miki Castle were fellow villagers of Ohara Village, and the peasants Sata and Misuke, who were the first to discover the fire, also stayed in one place with their fellow villagers at this time to discuss solutions.

At this time, seeing that everyone was gloomy and bleak, Zota immediately couldn't help but complain loudly: "This is all caused by the Renmu family, if the Ono family doesn't attack their village, there will be no accident!" Sata was always believed in the village, and his words ignited a fuse that sparked the resentment that the peasants had accumulated against the Nishiki family. What are you afraid of when the village and food are gone? All of a sudden, the peasants and soldiers of Miki Castle began to complain about the Renmu family.

"That's right, Zota is right, they are all responsible."

"That's right! If the Ohno family doesn't come to the village, nothing will happen, and we will give them what kind of city to guard!"

"Let's just open the city and flee together! Save the burial of the Renmu family who harmed Ohara Village. ”......

Naturally, the fire in Ohara Village would not have burned out for no reason, and the peasants could easily guess that these must have been done by the Onokie family who attacked Miki Castle. Why would Ohnoya do such a thing? Isn't it to attack the Nitoki family and take Miki Castle? If it weren't for the Renmu family, the village wouldn't have had an accident, and they wouldn't have been so miserable. People who have lost everything need some sustenance to survive, and the hatred for the Renmu family is a good sustenance. For a while, the peasants and soldiers who had lost hope for the end complained about the Nishiki family, seeing that a mutiny was about to happen, and the most ironic thing is that it was all done by the Ohno family.

"Ka~~~Khaka~~~, you are right. The reason why such a tragedy happened in Ohara Village is the responsibility of the Nishiki family, and it is the Renmu family who did not protect their own people. Just as everyone was complaining about the Nishiki family, the lord of the city, Shinji Nitoki, walked among them with the support of his son-in-law Nobusada and said sincerely.

Shinji Nishiki is also in his forties this year, which is already beginning to enter the twilight of his life for the ancients. In addition, as a military general, Shinji Nitoki has been fighting for many years, and his health is not as good as ordinary people, and now he can't sleep at night due to the disturbance caused by the fire in Ohara Village, so he is infected with the wind cold. However, at such a critical moment, Shinji Hitoki naturally couldn't recover from his illness, not to mention that he was keenly aware that maybe the fire in Ohara Village would lead to something among the peasants. So early this morning, Renmu Shinji asked his son-in-law Shinzhen to help him to stabilize the army's heart, and now he sees that he is fortunate to have come in time!

The arrival of Shinji Niki quieted down the noisy peasants, of course, because his residual power was still there, but more probably because he took the initiative to take over the responsibility that belonged to him. Can wolves blame sheep for eating sheep for being too fat? If the Ohno family wants to attack Miki Castle, it is naturally not to blame the Renki family. Obviously, sometimes softness is much better than toughness, and the soldiers who looked at the weakened Shinji Niki began to think of him with pity in their hearts.

Oh, yes! The lord of the castle is a good lord, and the land tax of the Niki family is not high, and the labor is not heavy. Lord Nishiki is a good lord who forgives the people individually! It was with him that everyone's life was a little better. As for the matter of Ohara Village, the castle lord can't be blamed, it's all because of the greed of the Ohno family. Yes, it's all Ohno's fault.

"Lord of the City, we are wrong to blame you." Some of the peasant soldiers were moved and hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, how can you blame the city lord for this, it's all done by the Ohno family."

"Yes, kill the Ohno family and avenge the village."

"Kill the Ohno family and avenge the village."

"Revenge."

"Revenge." ......

All of a sudden, the peasants turned their spearheads and pointed their guns at the Ohno family, and the words of revenge were endless. In this regard, Renmu Shinji and Renmu Xinzhen looked at each other and smiled secretly, and said secretly in their hearts: "The military heart is available!"
