"In the lower Oura family, the lord of Horikoshi Castle, Kuji is trustworthy, and I have seen Lord Deyusuke!" After entering the castle tower, Oura Nobun saw Tsugawa Soji, who was on the throne and was not angry and arrogant, and quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.

Oura Shouxin was once succeeded by Oura Masanobu to the family of Horikoshi Castle Kuji in Tsugaru County, so Oura Shouxin should be called Kuji Shouxin strictly speaking.

After waiting for a long time, Soji Tsugawa didn't answer, and Oura Mamoru became nervous all of a sudden, but he could only kneel on the ground honestly, and he didn't dare to come out.

Tsugawa Soji didn't intend to give the Oura family any good looks, mainly because the style of the Oura family made Tsugawa Soji extremely unhappy, which is also the reason why Tsugawa Soji hung Oura for so many days and refused to meet.

Although the strength of the Dapu family is not strong, the successive masters are not people who are willing to condescend to others. Historically, the Oura family has submitted several times to the Nanbu family, the Nangaoka family, and the Hiyama Yasuto family, but they have rebelled many times. The most influential rebellion was the rebellion of the Tohoku BUG man Tsugaru Noshin who later had the "Tsugaru Storm". almost crippled the southern home that was in full swing at the time.

Although he had already guessed what the envoy of the Oura family had come to, and had already read the invitation of Oura for the sake of the Oura family, in view of the Oura family's respective "criminal records", Tsugawa Soji still had great doubts in his heart.

First of all, the Oura family did not suffer a direct attack from the Tsukawa family, but they suddenly came to the door and took the initiative to take refuge, which is not logical. Thinking of the "fine traditions" of the Oura family, Tsugawa Soji was unwilling to accept the loyalty of the Oura family from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Tsugawa Soji also wants to use this as a test to see if the Oura family really has the sincerity to join the Tsugawa family, for now, the Oura family should be sincere to the Tsukawa family, otherwise this Kuji and his faith should have left Ueno Castle a long time ago.

"Jiuci is trustworthy, are you a member of the Dapu family? Who are you? After a long while, Soji Tsugawa finally spoke.

Oura Shoushin wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, and replied loudly, "Oura is the elder brother of the next one, and in the lower Oura Jiro, he inherited the family name from the Kuji family in his early years, and is now the lord of Horikoshi Castle. ”

"Oura is trustworthy?" Tsugawa Soji was shocked, "Interesting, isn't this Nima Tsugaru's father?" "For Tsugaru for the faith, Tsugawa Soji knows very well. Tsugaru Noshin was the son of Oura Nobunobu, and later married Oura Nori's daughter, Ogura, and became the adopted son of Oura Noshinori and inherited the family name of the Oura family.

Tsugawa Soji had the impression that Tsugaru's father was Oura Shouxin, so when Oura Shouxin reported his name Hisaka Shouxin just now, Tsugawa Soji didn't think of it at all. Now that Oura told his origin for the letter, Tsugawa Soji suddenly reacted.

"Jiuci is trustworthy, and the writer of Oura has already read it, but I have a question, please solve it." Soji Tsugawa said slowly.

Oura Shouxin hurriedly spoke, "Please also ask Lord Yusuke to speak up." ”

"The Hisashi Tsugaru Oura family was a subordinate of the Hiyama Ando family in the early years, and later took refuge in the Nangang family, and then had a close relationship with the southern family, but these three seem to have suffered a big loss at the hands of the Oura family, why is this?" Soji Tsugawa said with a smile on his face.

Although Tsukawa Soji was laughing, Oura Shoushin couldn't laugh, Tsugawa Soji understood the meaning of Tsukawa Soji's words, and Oura Shoushin understood it, which was to say, "Your Oura family has taken refuge in so many people before, but in the end they all turned their backs on them, and even beat them up." Now that he wants to be subordinate to the Tsugawa family, do you want to commit a black hand to the Tsukawa family? ”

Thinking of this, Oura Shouxin's face turned pale, and cold sweat kept coming out. To be honest, Oura Shouxin and Oura really think so.

But now that it was said directly by Soji Tsugawa, Oura Shoushin didn't know what to do.

"Why is Lord Jiuji silent? Is there a mistake in what I said? Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Izuhasuke-sama must have misunderstood the family." Oura Shoushin hurriedly explained, "This family did sincerely surrender to Lord Hasuke, please don't doubt the intentions of this family." The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and the strong southern family is not the opponent of Lord Dewasuke, let alone this family? "Oura is trustworthy and not a fool, of course he won't admit it, so he can only forcibly explain, hoping to dispel Tsugawa Soji's vigilance.

"Oh, hopefully." Soji Tsugawa was not easy to fool, and continued, "Since the Oura family has asked to be subordinate to the main family, what about your sincerity? ”

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, Oura Shoushin hurriedly said, "The family is willing to sacrifice the territories of the Namioka family and the Ishikawa family that they have captured, and I only hope that Lord Dehansuke will accept the family, and the family is grateful!" ”

"Oh?" Soji Tsugawa pretended to be surprised, and then said with a smile, "It seems that the conditions are not bad, but this is not enough." ”

Oura Shoushin saw that Tsugawa Soji did not reject him, so it was possible that the Oura family belonged to the Tsugawa family, so he hurriedly said, "What else does Dehasuke-sama want?" Hostages? As long as Izubasuke-sama can comply with the request of the family's subordinates, the family will immediately send the hostages to Ueno Castle. After speaking, Oura Shoushin looked at Tsugawa Soji expectantly.

Soji Tsugawa shook his head, "Hostages are necessary, but that's not what the family wants to say. ”

"Then please also ask Lord Izuhane to speak bluntly, if this family can do it, naturally I will not refuse." Oura Shouxin hurriedly replied.

"Hmm." Tsugawa Soji nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Oura Shouxin and said slowly, "It is rumored that Oura, the head of the Oura family, has no heirs and is weak, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It does." Oura replied truthfully.

"Then the requirements of the family are very simple, if the Oura family wants to belong to the family, they need to pass a son from the family to become the adopted son of the Oura family, and inherit the family name of the Oura family in the future. If Oura can agree to the family's proposal, then the Oura family will be a subordinate of the family from now on. Soji Tsugawa looked at Oura Shouxin with a smile and said tentatively.

"This ........." After hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, Oura was also a little troubled, "This matter is very important, I don't dare to make my own decisions, and I need to return to the territory to discuss with the lord before making a decision." ”

Hearing this, Tsugawa Soji knew that the surrender of the Oura family was still sincere. After all, if Tsugawa Soji had just made this proposal, Oura Shouxin agreed to it in one bite, which seemed a little unreasonable. Now Oura Shouxin has proposed to go back and discuss with Oura Weize, at least proving that the Oura family is still somewhat sincere.

"Good. In that case, Kuji-sama should go back and discuss it with Oura. After speaking, Soji Tsugawa slowly stood up, "The family is busy with affairs, so the family will not stay for Lord Jiuji, and I look forward to the next meeting with the adults." With that, Soji Tsugawa left the castle tower without looking back.

Looking at the back of Tsugawa Soji leaving, Oura clenched his hands for Shin and struggled, and then released his fist, "The terrible Tsugawa family! The terrible Dewa Eagle! ”
