Nakano Yoshikiyo and Shimizu Naoqin are old acquaintances, and even the two grew up together in "open crotch pants" in a sense.

Shimizu's direct relatives are from the Shimizu family, a wealthy family in the most senior county, and the Shimizu family was also a member of the Shimizu family earlier.

The Mogami family practiced the Soryo system, which was a samurai ruling system unique to RB, and was formed by the combination of the same clan (separate family) centered on the Sakumi clan (Mogami clan).

In addition to being responsible for the general affairs of the clan, land and the payment of annual taxes, the clan leader also led the samurai and the clan to carry out the military duties of the shogunate, and other related duties.

This system was recognized by the shogunate during the Kamakura shogunate, and many samurai families used it as a ruling system, and even the Kamakura shogunate used it as the basis for ruling the imperial family. During the period from the middle of Kamakura to the turmoil of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the shogunate changed the form of inheritance of the feudal domain from divided inheritance to separate inheritance in order to prevent the feudal domains from being excessively divided and fragmented. As the shogunate granted new favors to independent concubines, new geographical alliances were created, and the system of feudal lordship collapsed.

However, among some other rural daimyos, the collar system is still prevalent, and the most typical of them is the Mogami family.

The system of the Mogami family is similar to that of the southern family, but it is not the same! The Mogami family has absolute "suzerainty" over each branch, which is why the strength of the Mogami family, known as the "Mogami Eight Branches", was once stronger than the Mogami family, and the Mogami family is still safe and sound. Because a division is a separation, even if it is NB, it is only the division of the top family!

The southern family is different, and the status of each branch within the southern family is the same as that of the Sanhe clan as the "alliance leader", which means that the Sanhe clan can use the southern part as the Miao character, and other branches can also do it! This is also part of the reason why after the defeat of Nanbu Harumasa, Nobunaka Kunohe quickly rebelled.

The Shimizu family is a branch of the Shimizu family, and the Shimizu Naoshi who was born in the Shimizu family naturally met Nakano Yoshikiyo, who was also a branch of the Mogami family, but later the Shimizu Naoqin was depressed in the Shimizu family, so he went out to change the Onodera family.

After all, the two haven't seen each other for many years.

Shimizu Naoqin didn't expect that he would meet Nakano Yoshikiyo here, if it weren't for Nakano Yoshikiyo's sentence "Don't come to harm", Shimizu Naoqin almost didn't think of Nakano Yoshikiyo.

"Tiger Chiyo? It's you! Shimizu Naoki looked at Nakano Yoshikiyo's face in surprise, and said in disbelief, "Why are you here?" ”

However, as soon as the words fell, Qing Shui Naoqin seemed to remember something, and said with the same look as before, "It seems that the two of us can't talk about the old days before." Tiger Chiyo, surrender, you may be able to save your life! ”

Hearing Shimizu's words, Nakano Yoshikiyo knew that he might not be spared this time. Originally, Nakano Yoshikiyo still had a glimmer of hope in his heart at the moment he saw Shimizu's direct kin, but seeing that Shimizu Naoqin did not care about the past relationship between the two, Nakano Yoshikiyo also gave up.

"I can't imagine that I haven't seen each other for many years, and the reunion between you and me will be like this!" Nakano Yoshikiyoshi said with a little sadness, "Shengjiro, now you and I are our own masters, and I will never blame you in the future, I just want to be able to read on the old love, how about making mistakes for me?" ”

After listening to Nakano Yoshikiyo's words, Shimizu Naoqin also couldn't bear it, but thinking that he was now a retainer of the Tsugawa family, he didn't dare to think much about the enemy who was obviously ordered by Tsugawa Soji, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! ”

Nakano Yoshikiyoshi nodded suddenly, and then pulled out the ribs around his waist and prepared to seppuku.

"Stop!" But at this time, a voice interrupted Nakano's movements.

Nozawa and Kuro were dressed in light blue samurai uniforms, and the bellflower patterns on them were unusually conspicuous, "Lord Shimizu, this person can't die, I'll wait to send him to Ueno Castle, and the lord will personally decide!" ”

"Dare to ask Your Excellency?" Seeing a strange samurai appear in front of him, although Nozawa and Kuro's samurai uniforms had the family crest of the Tsugawa family, Shimizu Naoqin still subconsciously asked.

In fact, Shimizu's direct relatives were in an inexplicable state all night tonight.

First, a man found himself with a warrant from Soji Tsugawa and asked him to obey the orders of the person holding the warrant no matter what. Immediately afterwards, he was ordered to go to the castle town to arrest people, but he didn't expect to catch people but his old acquaintance Nakano Yoshikiyo.

In the end, an unfamiliar samurai suddenly appeared to stop Nakano Yoshikiyo's seppuku, which made Shimizu Naoqin even more confused.

"Has Lord Shimizu forgotten what the lord's warrant says? Don't ask, don't care, just do what you are told! Regarding Shimizu's question, Nozawa and Kuro did not answer, but took out the warrant again and said slowly to Shimizu Naokin.

Seeing this, Shimizu Naoqin finally closed his mouth, and then looked at Nakano Yoshikiyoshi with an apologetic look.

Nakano Yoshikiyo also shook his head helplessly, and resigned himself to putting his hands in front of him. It's not that Nakano Yoshikiyo didn't think about resisting, but looking at the dozens of Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family around him, Nakano Yoshikiyo gave up this plan, and his life was worth much more than these pariahs.

Seeing that Nakano Yoshikiyoshi was so familiar with current affairs, Nozawa and Kuro hurriedly beckoned a blue-clothed society ninja beside them to come forward and tie up Nakano Yoshikiyo, and then stepped forward and said to Shimizu Naoqin, "Lord Shimizu, there are seven or eight carts in the backyard of this Fujita house, and Lord Lao sent someone to temporarily push these carts to the castle tower for storage." Remember, no one is allowed to touch anything on the cart! ”

Although he was dissatisfied with the attitude of Nozawa and Kuro, but when he thought of the order on the warrant, Shimizu Naoqin could only helplessly say, "Ha! ”

At the same time, on the mountain road leading from Yuzawa Castle to Matsune Castle, Shimada Kanbei and Katsushiro Okamoto were panting in the dark. When they reached a mountain pass, several people stopped.

"Shimada-sama, there are still more than ten miles to go to Matsune Castle. After Matsune Castle, it's Mogami County, so it should be safe here, so why don't you wait for Nakano-sama and then go together? Katsushiro Okamoto leaned against a large tree, took a water bag from the hand of a Samurai of the Mogami family next to him, and drank it in a big gulp.

Shimada Kanbei shook his head and said, "The Tsugawa family is not so easy to deal with, the musket was transported by us from Minezawa Castle, and the Tsugawa family will definitely not give up, maybe the Tsugawa family has already sent pursuers to chase us at this time." ”

"Nakano-sama has his own way of transporting the musket out of the Tsugawa family's territory, so it's better for us to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to leave by then." Shimada Kanbei said slowly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Shimada Kanbei's voice fell, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in the darkness and surrounded Shimada Kanbei and others.

"You can't go anymore........"
