"Father, no! Ohno Heinobu, this old guy is trying to fool me again? I won't be fooled again this time. ”

This is the truest thought in Nobutei Ohno's heart at the moment, and the ruthless choice made by his father Hinobu Ohno between himself and his brother has made the little father-son brotherhood in his heart disappear.

In fact, when his father Ohno Heinobu planned to let him join the Jirenmu family, Ohno Shinhei also knew about it, and he was unable to inherit the Ohno family, and he was once full of longing for this. However, things went wrong as he wished, and Ono Shinhei failed to get married to the princess of the Nishiki family, let alone inherit the family business of the Nishiki family.

Now, although two years have passed, whenever Nobuhei Ohno remembers the incident back then, he still feels a surge of blood. Leaving aside the gap caused by the huge disappointment, Nobuya Ono, who has always taken pleasure in mocking himself, made Nobutei Ohno's heart even worse. It is said that the deep jealousy for his brother that had accumulated in Nobunpei Ohno's heart for a long time broke out on that day, and Nobutei Ohno had the idea of seizing Ohno Castle from then on.

On the side, Ono Nobunya, who was a little proud because his father was partial to him, also blamed his father for being troublesome, and he was afraid of him for a long time after he heard that his younger brother was going to inherit the Renmu family. Fortunately, the princess of the Renmu family finally married someone else, otherwise her younger brother would not be on an equal footing with her, which was intolerable to Renki Nobuyo, who had always considered himself a descendant of the Ohno clan.

In the Warring States Period, if you want to go down to the Keshang, not only ordinary samurai, but even civilians to a number of famous martial artists, but also the Samurai to the main family of the Samurai family, if the strength of the division exceeds the main family, it can replace the position of the main family and become the leader of the family. Perhaps for his father Ohno Heinobu, the Ohno family that he inherited in the future and the Nishiki family that his younger brother might inherit will be close allies, but for Ohno Nobura, if his younger brother inherits the Nishiki family, it will be his biggest enemy.

Father Ohno Heinobu had the intention of letting the heir of the Ohno clan out of the Jininki family was indeed a good idea, but why should this person be his own brother and not his own heir?

"Father, isn't Princess Hanako, the only daughter of the Nishiki family, already married to the son of the retainer of the Nishiki family? In this case, how can Shinpei inherit the Renmu family? Nobuya Ohno asked Nobunobu Ohno with concern, but in fact, he was vaguely reminding Ohno Nobusun to give up his plan to let Nobuthira Ohno leave the Jirenki family.

Regarding the question of the eldest son, Ohno Heinobu did not answer him immediately, but looked at his second son, frowned, and said, "Matsujiro (Ono Shinhei's young name. Why do you look like you don't have fighting spirit, do you suspect that your father can't do this? ”

"Father, how dare Shinpei think like this. It's just that as the brother said, the princess of the Renmu family has already married, can the family still snatch the princess and the family business of the Renmu family? ”

The thoughts implied in his brother Nobuya Ono's words may not be heard by others, but Nobuyhei Ohno, who has always been opposed to him, is still aware of it, but Nobuyhira Ohno also has to admit that what Nobuyra Ohno said makes sense, and it is indeed impossible.

Unexpectedly, Ohno Heinobu said amazing words at this time. "You're right, being a father is to snatch the princess of the Renmu family and the family business of the Renmu family for you."

"What! ...... Thank you, Father. Nobuhei Ohno was stunned for a while, and then immediately thanked Shinshin Ohno happily, the strength of the Ohno family has always been stronger than the Nishiki family, maybe he really has a chance to snatch the position of the head of the Nishiki family.

"Father, this must not be done." Hearing that his father was going to use the power of the Ohno family to help his younger brother seize the position of head of the Nishiki family, Ohno Nobura suddenly became anxious.

"Why, brother, are you doubting your father's strength? Do you think he's talking big? ”

Seeing that his brother was against his father's decision, Nobutei Ohno, who was already not on good terms with him, suddenly said sarcastically. Now it seems that it is almost impossible for him to inherit the Ohno family, so the position of the head of the Renki family will become his only way back. Otherwise, with Nobuhei Ohno's understanding of his brother, if he inherits the position of head of the family in the future, then he really won't end well.

"Nonsense!" Before Ohno Nobubu could say anything, Ohno Nobuya hurriedly explained: "Father, Nobuya has absolutely no intention of doubting your martial arts, and the little Nishiki family is definitely not an opponent of my father. However, the Nishiki family and the main family are both retainers of the Matsugami family, so I'm afraid my father won't be able to do anything to them, right? ”

"This ...... Father, you must not be deceived by your brother. Now that the Matsugami family is no longer able to protect itself, where will they still care about the idle affairs of the Renmu family. Seeing Nobuya Ohno mention of the Matsugami family, Nobutei Ohno suddenly panicked, is the opportunity about to slip away from his eyes again?

"Hahahaha. Hahahaha. Ohno Heinobu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly burst out laughing as he watched the argument between his two sons, and it was really a pleasure for him to control the mood of his sons in this way.

Ignoring the strange glances cast by Nobuya Ohno and the brothers Nobunpei Ohno because of their laughter, Ohno Nobutanobu said straightforwardly: "Okay, the main hall has decided to lead troops to attack Miki Castle, the residence of the Renmu family, tomorrow, so don't argue about this matter anymore." Nobuya, you go and gather the ashigaru of your family to prepare for battle. Shinhei, go and prepare the food and grass for the army for ten days. This time, the main hall must take down the Renmu family. ”

"Haha."

"Haha." Soon, Ohno Nobunobu assigned tasks to Nobuyra Ohno and Nobuhei Ohno respectively. The two sons, who knew his character well, immediately knew that the matter was irreversible, so they took the order with different hearts. ......

A day later

In the vicinity of the Ono family territory and the Niki family territory, there is a small customs office on the side near the Nishiki family's territory.

It is said that there is no need for this customs office to exist, because both the Nitoki family and the Ohno family are retainers of the Matsugami family, and no matter how much conflict there is between the two families, there will be no war. In addition, this small gate was also a big burden for the Nishiki family, which was only 500 stone high, but the ancestors of the Nishiki family spared no effort to build this gate to monitor the movements of the Ohno family. By the time of the head of the current family, Shinji Niki, he even equipped this customs office with a healthy horse to spread the news.

On this day, the five people of the Renki family in the customs office are chatting as always, and nothing will happen in this place for decades. But one of them suddenly pointed not far away and said, "Look, look." That's not the military strength of the Ohno family. ”

Boom

As soon as the ashigaru finished speaking, dozens of arrows were shot at them.
