Since the Shenmu family was taken by Matsugami Yoshimitsu overnight. Although Saigo Kanhisa was able to save his life because of Saigo Takahisa's meritorious service in breaking the city, the Saigo family's territory was completely deprived and he himself was disheartened by the destruction of the Shenmu family. Now Saigo Kanhisa lives in seclusion in the Saigo family's generational mansion and no longer cares about the world, and even his son Saigo Takahisa has been honored for a long time.

For Saigo Guanjiu, Yoshimitsu has long had the heart to recruit. This Xixiang Guanjiu is the chief elder of the Shenmu family, he is not only handy in political affairs, diplomacy, and military strategy in the Shenmu family, but he himself is very popular among his retainers and subjects. Such a retainer who is both civil and military originally wanted to recruit Matsugami Yoshimitsu as soon as he entered Shenmu Castle. But at that time, Saigo was old and the old lord was dead, and if he was in a hurry to recruit him, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was afraid that it would backfire. Second, Matsugami Yoshimitsu has just entered Shenmu City, and there are many affairs, and he is busy dealing with it, and he is not in a hurry for a while. However, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was assassinated a few days ago, and although he himself was fine, Matsugami Yoshimitsu also saw the danger lurking in the seemingly calm state of Shenmu Castle. Matsugami Yoshimitsu understands that the matter of recruiting Saigo Kanhisa is urgent.

The castle tower of Shenmu Castle.

"Takaku, how is your father, Lord Kanhisa, doing now?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu asked Saigo Takahisa, who had been summoned.

"Lord Qi. My father has lived in seclusion since the destruction of Shenmu City, and he has not asked about the world for a long time. Saigo Takahisa replied respectfully.

"Oh, that's right. If you go to report to Lord Kanhisa, he will say that the main hall wants to visit him in the next few days. Matsugami Yoshimitsu continued.

"My lord wants to see my father. Could it be that the lord wants to recruit his father? That's great......" Saigo Takahisa's heart turned a thousand times, and then he immediately received the order. "Haha." Immediately after that, he went to carry out Matsugami Yoshimitsu's order.

Saigo Kan long residence.

I don't know how Saigo Takahisa replied to his father. Anyway, three days later, Saigo Kanhisa finally agreed to meet with Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

"Haha, I don't know why Yiguang Hall came this time?" Saigo Kanjiu said with a smile.

"Guan Jiu is a great talent, and the temple will not go around in circles. The main hall came this time to recruit Lord Kanhisa. If the adults agree, the main hall will return the 200 Ishihara leaders of the Saigo family and treat the adults as if they were old families. Matsugami Yoshimitsu answered Saigo's question directly. He did not hide the purpose of this trip, Matsugami Yoshimitsu has always thought that it is very stupid to play smart to smart people, and it is better to treat him with sincerity.

"The original collar will be returned." Saigo was taken aback. He didn't have any interest in treating him as an old family, after all, he had been the elder of the Shenmu family for half his life. However, if he could get the lost hereditary territory, it was one thing that made him very excited. Saigo Guan thought about it for a long time and still refused. "I am old and frail, and I am too old to be of great use. The kindness of the Yiguang Temple was understood. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu knew why Saigo Kanhisa refused. He is just trying to protect himself from the loyalty of the two masters. Matsugami Yoshimitsu secretly laughed in his heart, and he continued after a while. "I wonder if Lord Guanjiu has heard that the main hall was assassinated by the former ministers of the Shenmu family a few days ago?"

Saigo Kanhisa replied in surprise in his heart. "I've heard about it before. It's just a little bit of a young man, so there's no need to worry about Yiguangdian. ”

"However, the main hall heard that there are still many people in the world who miss the Shenmu family. They all have the heart to avenge the Shenmu family. In other words, the Xixiang family is also an old minister of the Shenmu family. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said meaningfully. Before the panicked Saigo Kanhisa reacted, Matsugami Yoshimitsu said with a smile again. "Haha, of course the main hall will not suspect the Saigo family. Takahisa-sama is very much used by the main hall. It's just that I don't know if Lord Guanjiu misses the old master and doesn't want to assist the main hall. Okay, the main hall has given three days to think about this matter, and I hope that the main hall will not disappoint the main hall. With that, Matsugami Yoshimitsu took his leave and left.

Saigo was silent for a long time after Matsugami Yoshimitsu left. He knew in his heart the deep threat in Matsugami's words. If he is persuaded by Matsugami Yoshimitsu for a long time, then the Saigo family may be regarded as rebellious and the family name will be severed. Even if Matsugami Yoshimitsu may not embarrass the Saigo family, Saigo Kanhisa does not dare to bet on the survival of the family's name. "It seems that we have to accept the invitation of the Yiguang Temple." Saigo Kanhisa thought helplessly.

Three days later, Saigo Kanhisa, who weighed it repeatedly, finally agreed to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's solicitation. And Matsugami Yoshimitsu did not break his promise, he immediately returned the original title of the Saigo family, and issued the skill to Saigo Guanjiu in public.

"Master Guanjiu, I don't know what you think of the current situation of this family." Matsugami Yoshimitsu inquired about Saigo Kanhisa, who was already an old minister of the family, in the assessment room.

"The lord has placed the displaced people to repair the house since you transferred to Shenmu City, and you don't need to squeeze the people of this hall too much. I think it won't be long before I can settle down here. There is nothing to say below. Saigo Kanhisa replied.

"Haha, it seems that Lord Guanjiu still doesn't want to be sincere to this hall." Matsugami Yoshimitsu sighed with emotion and continued.

"In that case, the main hall will not go around in circles with Lord Kanhisa. Lord Guan Jiu also knew that some of the brave people in this place and the former ministers of the Shenmu family had joined forces to eyed their own family. The main hall is in danger of capsizing if it is not careful. Is there any way for Lord Kanjiu to solve this matter for the main hall? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, those people are just chickens and dogs. The reason why they have a grudge against their family is just because they have lost their money. As long as the lord re-recruits them, he will be able to do so. "Although Saigo Kanhisa has joined the Matsugami family, he still does not want to be an enemy of the former retainers of the Shenmu family. In fact, Matsugami Yoshimitsu also thought about this method. But first, his current territory is only 1,500 stones, and he can't support so many retainers. Second, there are many former ministers of the Shenmu family, far more than him, and the retainers from the Liangmu people may form a tail at that time. He knew that Saigo Kanjiu did not want to be an enemy of the former retainers of the Shenmu family, and continued. "Lord Kanhisa, can I know that a few days ago, the former ministers of the Shenmu family assassinated the main hall, and Nana, the side room of the main hall, also participated."

"Princess Nana." Saigo was shocked. This is the only bloodline of the Shenmu family. He said hurriedly. "Princess Nana must be deceived by men. In the next wish, he will vouch for his life. ”

"Haha, this temple also believes that Nana is confused for a while. However, if that group of evil parties is not eliminated for a day, the main hall will not be able to feel at ease for a day. I'm afraid that the main hall won't be able to protect Nana at that time. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said helplessly.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu has pushed Saigo Kanhisa into a corner, and he must choose between preserving the bloodline of the ancestor and the former retainers of the Shenmu family. Saigo Kanhisa was in a dilemma for a while.
