Shintsu Hikaru saw that Sajiro Doi said that the Shintsu family was still saved, and hurriedly asked. "Sajiro, what can you do to save your family's crisis? Do you hurry up and say it? It was because the main hall did not listen to your words of loyalty that caused this fiasco. No matter what you say this time, as long as you can save my Xinjin family, this hall will definitely do it. ”

Seeing that the former high-spirited lord has now become so low-voiced, it is very unbearable for Sajiro Doi, he made up his mind and said. "Now the only thing that can save my Xinjin family is the Matsugami family, if the lord sends someone to the Matsugami family for help, the family may have a glimmer of life."

Shintsu Mitsuyu, who had great expectations for Doi Sajiro, suddenly looked lost again after listening to Doi Sajiro's suggestion, and he said with some disappointment. "Sajiro, if your solution is to ask the Shintsu family for help, then don't go on. In fact, the main hall also thought about asking the Matsugami family for help. However, the family and the Matsugami family did not have much friendship, and even the Matsugami family's old enemies, the Kamiki family, almost severed the name of the Matsugami family. Now that the family has fallen into such a situation, how can the Matsugami family send troops to rescue them? ”

"That's right, how could the Matsugami family come to the rescue of our Xinjin family? It would be good if they didn't annex us with the Katayama family and the Umedo family. "The words of Shinjin Mitsu in the evaluation room of the Shinjin Pavilion immediately resonated with some retainers. The Matsugami family was indeed untrustworthy, and their eyes were focused on the old family member Sajiro Doi, ready to see what else he had to say.

Sajiro Doi ignored the doubts of the lord and his retainers, and he still said calmly. "My lord, it is true that although the Matsugami family and the main family have become in-laws, the two families are not harmonious. However, the Matsugami family is even more reluctant to let the Katagami family annex the family and then unify the Mu County. Therefore, as long as the family pays a sufficient price, the Matsugami family will definitely send troops to rescue the family. ”

Shintsu Mitsuyu said after listening to Doi Sajiro's analysis. "I see, the Matsukami family will definitely rescue the family in order to curb the expansion of the Katayama family. Doi-sama deserves to be the minister of the humerus of his family. ”

"My lord, that's exactly the case." Sajiro Doi confirmed.

"Yet." Shinjin Mitsu paused for a moment before continuing. "Who in the family can take on the heavy responsibility of asking for help from the Matsugami family? Sajiro, do you have any suitable candidates? ”

Sajiro Doi had already had a candidate in mind to send the Matsugami family to the Shinzu family for help. At this moment, when he heard Shinjin Guangyou's question, he immediately said. "If you talk about who is suitable for the family to send an envoy to the Matsugami family to ask for reinforcements at this moment, there is no more suitable than the Young Lord Guangguo Palace."

"Guangguo, although he is the eldest son of the main hall, with his current talents, I am afraid that he is not enough to take on this important responsibility, right?" Shintsu Mitsuyu, who is not worried about his eldest son who has little experience in this matter, which is very likely to decide the survival of the Shinjin family, prefers to send an experienced retainer to carry out this matter.

Seeing that the lord was a little uncertain, Doi Sajiro hurriedly admonished him. "My lord, there are three main reasons for recommending the Guangguo Palace as an envoy to the Matsugami family. First, Princess Yui, the daughter of the lord, is quite favored by the young master of the Matsugami family, and now she has the blood of the Matsugami family. The young lord sent an envoy to the Matsugami family, and as a brother, he could persuade Princess Yui to exert influence on the family's request for help. This is conducive to getting reinforcements for your family faster.

Second, if the family wants to win the trust of the Matsugami family and send troops to rescue the family, there must be a guarantee to reassure the Matsugami family. There is no way for the family to win the trust of the Matsugami family more than to take the young master as a hostage. Third, third......" Doi Sajiro's next words seemed a little difficult to say, but he paused for a moment and then said stubbornly. "Third, if the young master really can't get reinforcements from the Matsugami family, then it must be difficult for the family to survive. In that case, the young master would not have to come back. In this way, it may be possible to retain a trace of the blood of the Xinjin family. ”

"Okay, just follow Sajiro's words." Shintsu Mitsuyu was persuaded by Sajiro Doi's words, or rather, he was persuaded by Sajiro Doi's last reason. Yes, the Xinjin Pavilion may not be able to save it this time. But the bloodline of the Xinjin family cannot be cut off because of this, as long as the Xinjin family has a son who is still alive, it may not be able to restore the ancestral business in the future. Otherwise, he would really become a sinner of the Xinjin family. Shintsu Mitsu untied his saber and handed it to the eldest son next to him. "Guangguo, the specific instructions for the Matsugami family this time have already been made clear by Lord Doi, and the main hall will no longer waste time. This is the treasure knife maruki that has been passed down from the heads of the Shinjin family for generations, and the main hall is now giving it to you. It would be best if you could ask for reinforcements from the Matsukami family this time. Otherwise, in the future, the responsibility of the Ise Shinzu family will be handed over to you. ”

"Haha, I will live up to my father's trust." Shinjin Guangguo said extremely firmly. ......

Next, Shinjin Guangguo rushed to Matsugami Castle under the escort of several retainers. ......

In the evaluation of Matsugami Castle, an evaluation that will determine the fate of the Shinjin family is underway.

Ever since Shintsu Mitsukoku rushed to Matsugami Castle to ask for help, the retainers of the Matsugami family were divided into two factions because of differences over whether to send troops to rescue the Shintsu family. One faction thinks that the Shinjin family has no good intentions towards the Matsugami family, and he deserves to be attacked this time. My family happened to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. The other faction believes that the Shintsu family is the in-laws of the family anyway, and if the Matsugami family does not send troops to rescue them, they may lose their righteousness, and it is very likely that no one will form an alliance with the family in the future. The quarrel between the two factions became more and more intense, and no one could convince anyone, so the head of the Matsugami family, Matsugami and his entourage, held an evaluation to resolve the matter.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki was in the first place and said slowly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I think you already know what our family is going to decide today. The Xinjin family is willing to take the young master Xinjin Guangguo as the hostage, and ask for reinforcements from the family to rescue the Xinjin family. I wonder what you think about this? ”

"My lord, I have something to say below." As soon as Matsugami Yoshiyuki's words were finished, the eldest family boss Nohiranobu couldn't wait to express his opinion. "The Xinjin family once united with the Shenmu family to invade the family, and this time I besieged it because of God's curse. This family cannot rescue the Xinjin family. It's best to wait and see. ”

"Ohno-sama is right."

"Ohno-sama deserves to be the pillar of the family." ......

As soon as Ohno Heinobu finished speaking, many retainers agreed. At this time, the young master of the Matsugami family, Matsugami Yoshinobu, who also participated in the assessment, was secretly anxious. After all, he promised his wife Yui earlier that he would definitely persuade his father to send troops to rescue the Xinjin family. Thinking of that beautiful face, Matsugami Yoshinobu gritted his teeth and stood up and said. "Father-sama, I am righteously opposed to Lord Ohno's views."

For a moment, all eyes in the assessment room were focused on Matsugami Yoshinobu's body.
