Chapter 177: Punishment
Nobuya Ohno's current state of mind seems to have changed from extreme fear to ecstasy as if he had fallen into the two heavens of ice and fire.
Originally, seeing his father Ohno Heinobu showing such ruthlessness, Nobuya Ohno was almost broken, and he thought that he was really going to commit suicide to apologize to the Nishiki family and end his life. But unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, the situation suddenly turned around, and Shinji Nishiki not only spared his own seppuku punishment, but unexpectedly wanted to marry Princess Hanako to himself.
At this moment, everything seems to be back on track, as he expected, and Nobuya Ohno seems to have seen his pride in marrying Princess Hanako and even becoming the co-head of Ohno and Renki. However, Ohno Pingxin's words were obviously not finished, and the beautiful idea that had just emerged in Ohno's conscience was broken by him.
"Don't be too happy, if you do such a thing, this hall must give an explanation to Renmu Hall and Xinping."
What the!
Ohno's conscience froze, and the joy on his face instantly froze.
Is there anything else that can't happen?
Ohno Heinobu naturally ignored the subtle changes in Ohno Nobusha, and said his treatment of this son Ohno Heinobu who he was determined to give up very coldly.
"Originally, the main hall was intended to let Princess Hanako live in Ono Castle after she got married. However, since you have done such a thing, it is not good for the main hall to separate the father and daughter of the Nishiki Palace, so in the future, as the son-in-law of the Nishiki family, you will stay in Niki Castle with Princess Hanako. As for Ono Castle, there is Shinpei to assist the main hall, and in the future, you will serve the family as a member of the Nishiki family!"
"Father!" Ohno Nobu's decision made Ohno Nobuyo seem to fall into an ice cave all of a sudden, although he didn't say it explicitly, but Ohno Nobuya understood that he had lost his qualifications in this battle for the heir to the head of the family.
There is only one center of the Ohno family, that is Ohno Castle, and the best outcome for Nobunra Ohno, who is far away from this center, in the future is only to inherit the Niki family as a new branch of the Ohno family, obviously Ohno Nobu planned this, but this is what Ohno Nobuyo is unwilling to accept.
"Father!" The unwilling Nobora Ohno finally struggled and said: "Nobuya's talent may not be able to afford to stay behind in Miki Castle, so Nobora should stay in Ono Castle with Princess Hanako to serve his father!" “
As long as he can stay in Ohno City, he still has a chance to reverse, Ohno Nobuya is still unwilling to think at this time.
But how could Heinobu Ohno give him this opportunity. In the past, he might have given his two sons, Nobuya Ohno and Nobuhei Ohno, a chance to fight, but now based on the experience of the samurai family for hundreds of years, it is time to stifle the possibility of such a clan fight.
Therefore, for Nobuya Ohno's plea, Ohno Pingxin once again gave him a painful blow.
"You don't need to worry about this, you and Princess Hanako can stay in Miki City and serve the Niki Hall with peace of mind. As for the affairs of Miki Castle, after that, the main hall will ask your uncle Kawai Kiyoshi to assist you. “
Yoshimoto Kawai is the maternal uncle of both Nobora Ohno and Nobuthira Ohno, but he has always supported Nobuya Ohno to succeed him as the head of the family and wants to marry his daughter Mitsuko to Nobuyra Ohno. This has long been known to everyone in Ohno Castle, but now that Nobuya Ohno is going to marry Princess Hanako, it is obvious that he is going to break with his uncle Kawai Kiyoshi.
Of course, Ohno Heinobu knew this, and his intention of sending Kawai Kiyoshi to Miki Castle was to let him assist Ohno Nobuyo while also restraining Ohno Nobuyo and his father-in-law, Shinji Nitoki. After all, there are not too many cases of sons-in-law and father-in-law betraying their fathers in the martial arts family of the Warring States Period!
But there are too few people who can be trusted by Ohno Heixin, so he has to restrain him while expecting his eldest son to be willing to become a member of the family.
Obviously, Nobuya Ohno also understood what it meant for his father Ohno Heinobu to send his uncle to his side at this time, and he had been completely abandoned.
"Haha, since that's the case, then rest assured that Miki Castle will be handed over to Xinliang and Nishikiden."
There has always been a lack of warmth between the father and son of the samurai family, especially when the father of the samurai family has more than one heir. Therefore, seeing his father Ohno Nobubu looking at his inquiring eyes, Ono Nobuyobu knew this very well, and hurriedly said yes, but at the same time, his expression became cold without being noticed.
"Interesting! It seems that the fate between father and son is about to turn into a bad fate, but this is a good thing for the family. “
Although it was only for a moment, the coldness that flashed on Nobuya Ohno's face was noticed by Shinji Nitoki, which surprised Shinji Nitoki.
As for the fact that Ohno and his son discussed how to stay in Miki Castle in front of him, but Hitoki Shinji didn't care at all, in his opinion, this was the price that the defeated should pay. If he couldn't bear this, he would have lived with Miki Castle a long time ago, but since he didn't choose to die, it didn't matter anymore.
"Hahahaha~~~"
Naturally, Ono Heinobu didn't know about everyone's strange thoughts, and when he saw that everything was as he wanted, he laughed and said, "Okay! In that case, tomorrow Nobuya, you and Princess Hanako will hold a marriage ceremony! What do you think? “
Ohno Heinobu quickly decided on the date of his marriage to Princess Hanako, but then he asked Shinji Nitoki for his opinion.
"Let's do everything according to Onoden's wishes!"
Shinji Nishiki naturally can't and can't have an opinion on this, in fact, with Hanako's current situation, the sooner the better.
"Hahahaha~~~, so the main hall will be relieved."
The long-time rival finally bowed to himself, and Ohno Heinobu smiled with satisfaction again. ......
Outside the gate of Miki Castle, the gate that was originally closed suddenly "squeaked" and "squeaked" slowly opened. This made Nobutei Ohno, who was stationed at the city gate, suddenly feel shocked and thought that the Renki family was about to fight back, but after a closer look, it turned out to be his father Ohno Nobu and his retainer Fujiki Jiro who walked out.
"Father, are you alright?" Nobuhei Ohno, who was much relieved, hurriedly rushed forward to greet Ohno Nobutanobu.
But he looked around and said with some doubts: "Father, why didn't my brother come out with you?" “
Nobuhei Ohno naturally doesn't care about his brother Nobuya Ohno, but he does care about how his father Nobutano will deal with him now.
"Let's talk about this matter back to the camp!" Instead of answering the second son's question immediately, Ohno jumped on his horse and turned his horse's head to return to the barracks.
