After the siege of the Vault, Oda Nobutada was still unable to break through Takato Castle, so he asked Nishina Morinobu to submit him, but Beshina Morinobu decisively refused. As a diplomatic monk who came to make a request, Nishina Morinobu also cut off one of his ears before letting him go back.

Oda Nobutada was furious and ordered to intensify the attack on Takato Castle, and on the morning of March 2, the Oda army, after nearly a month of fierce attack, finally entered the castle, and after the castle was broken, Nishina Morinobu fought bravely, and finally self-defeated in the castle tower at the age of 26. About 500 retainers fought with him to the end.

Nishina Morinobu is still a very capable samurai, and he is very virtuous, such a person is very fond of Kuroda Vocational High School, and when Mitsueda Mamoru said it just now, he was already moved. Although he is in his thirties, Kuroda Vocational High School came to this world, and the collecting habit that he brought with him at the beginning has not come down until now.

At the same time, there is also a reason why the Takeda family did not send other heirs, for example, the second eldest of the Takeda family is a blind man, and the remaining sixth child is currently young and a monk, which is obviously not suitable for entering the Kuroda family.

The reason why Takeda Katsuyori chose Nishina Morinobu is because he is in the prime of life, and he is a very capable person, only when he enters the Kuroda family, can he retain the bloodline of the Takeda family at the same time, and at the same time, Takeda Katsuyori is confident that Nishina Morinobu can make a career in the Kuroda family.

"I see." At this time, even Kuroda Yoshitaka nodded, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something?

"How old is Morishin-sama Nishina this year?" Kuroda asked.

"Nishina-sama is just twenty-five years old this year, and he is in the prime of life."

"Does he know about it?"

"Nishina-sama knows."

"After all, if he is allowed to enter the Kuroda family, and he himself is unwilling, and then he watches the Kuroda family wipe out the Takeda family, won't he have any opinions? After all, he is a descendant of the Takeda family, and if he has any resentment towards the Kuroda family after this, so that he makes any unfavorable moves against the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family will definitely not be soft.

So I hope you can understand this, and it is better to have confirmed everything with Nishina Shengxin, otherwise it will be too late to regret it later. ”

"This matter has been confirmed with Nishina-sama, he doesn't have any opinion, if he can keep the bloodline of his family, he is willing to enter the Kuroda family to serve, and at the same time forget his identity as a member of the Takeda family."

"Did you really forget your identity as a Takeda family? This should not be an easy thing to do. Yoshitaka Kuroda said.

"Hey, that's true, it's really difficult to forget your origins, but my Takeda family also has their own pride, and in order to be able to continue this bloodline, someone from this family must enter the Kuroda family, and continue to live in the Kuroda family with humiliation. Otherwise, the entire Takeda family will also be destroyed. ”

"That's a good thing, if that's the case, it's not that my family can't agree to this condition." At this time, Kuroda Yoshitaka glanced at his father before he said.

"If that's the case, then I'm so grateful to the two adults. I believe that the entire Takeda family, even if they are enemies of the Kuroda family, will definitely be grateful to the Kuroda family! Mieda said.

"This is not necessary, since the positions of the two families are hostile, there must be no such mentality of being grateful to the enemy, my Kuroda family has always hoped to have a fair duel with a fair position." Kuroda Yoshitaka said rhetorically.

"So that's the case, I really underestimate the Kuroda family. I ask for your forgiveness for this is a mistake. At that time, my Takeda family will definitely bet on my own martial arts luck and the Kuroda family. ”

"There's no need to be sorry for this, but if you enter the family, you'll need to start with the head of the family's ashigaru group, which is the family's unanimous requirement for all new samurai, even young people who value the family very much.

Is Nishina-sama willing even so? You must know how he is now the head of a wealthy family and a countryman, is he still willing to start from such a humble position? Yoshitaka Kuroda asked again.

"Hey! The family has discussed with Lord Nishina Morinobu before, and he is willing to accept all conditions, even if he starts from the most humble ashigaru, he is also willing, and being able to let him start from the head of the Ashigaru group is already a great gift from the Kuroda family, so I don't dare to have any complaints from the Takeda family, and I also ask the Secretary of Central to trust Nishina-sama. ”

"In that case, there is no big problem. But when did Nishina-sama enter the house? Whether to set off immediately, or after defeating the Takeda family completely. ”

"Of course, the sooner you enter the Kuroda family, the better, because the main family has already begun to prepare for the attack on the Takeda family, and at this time, the most important thing is for Nishina-sama to come to the Kuroda family as soon as possible and be able to settle down.

As for the battle that followed, Lord Nishina Morinobu will not participate in any more actions, and please rest assured that Lord Nishina will never divulge any secrets of the Kuroda family, nor will he inquire about any information, which is the pride of my Takeda family as a famous samurai family. ”

"I can still trust the Takeda family at this point, so in that case, please get on the road as soon as possible! Because the family's team was about to attack the Takeda family, the family's Kuroda Toshitaka was in Shinano Province at this time. And your Kiso-sama, Lord Yoshimasa, has already started a war with the family.

If you wish to be able to send hostages, it is best to take the Hida Province road to the north, enter the Mino Province Road, or take the Tokaido Road from the south, both of which will work, but as for the current danger of Shinano Province, it is better not to go. ”

"Thank you Secretary of State for your advice, I am grateful, if there is nothing else, I will return to Kai Province, report this matter to the head of the family, and urge Nishina-sama to come to Kuroda's house as soon as possible."

"In that case, you go down first!" Yoshitaka Kuroda said.

After Mieda was gone, Yoshitaka Kuroda looked at his father and cast a very puzzled look.

"Father, how do you know that it is possible that the Takeda family is only sending one person over to preserve their bloodline, rather than wanting to continue their family name with this person at the same time?"
