It is said that Wild City is not far from the main battlefield, and you can get the latest news. Not long after I entered the city, a group of people sent out came to report it. Then I discussed the battle situation with Naohu I, Kenhide Gamo, and others, and it was almost time to eat.

The maid who came to serve was the maid brought by the main room of Gamo Kenhide. Kamo Kenhide's main room is also the younger sister of Goto Kentoyo, who is connected to the two largest wealthy families in Minami Omi, and has a high status in the family. She personally came out to entertain, which shows the sincerity of the Gamo family.

It's just that why didn't Mitsu come out? As a daughter, even if she becomes Nobunaga's adopted daughter, she should come and serve herself. What's more, with her surname and the friendship between our father and daughter, she should have come out to meet me happily when she heard that I was coming.

"What about Mitsu? Why didn't she come out? I asked Kamo in a strange way.

"This ...... It's a little inconvenient......" Gamo Kenhide's expression was very embarrassed.

"This, isn't His Royal Highness Gamo too formal?" I disapprovingly said, "I'm her father after all!" ”

"It's inconvenient, maybe it's pregnant?" Naota Ii reminded me.

"Really? That's a great thing to celebrate! I laughed.

Although Gamo Fuhide and Mitsu are not yet fifteen years old, people in this era are generally precocious, and it is not surprising that Mitsu is pregnant.

"Really? Tadazaburo? I smiled and looked at Fushu Gamo.

However, there was no happy expression on his face, but a worried face. Obviously, the so-called inconvenience is not because of pregnancy, but for other reasons.

"Tadazaburo! What the hell is going on! I asked out loud.

"Your Highness......" Naotora Ii reminded.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" I also reacted, this kind of question is too rude, "I shouldn't talk to you like this...... However, Tadazaburo, I do care about this daughter very much, and please tell me about Mizu's situation! ”

"About this...... The princess was not used to the environment, so she fell ill......" Kamo replied.

"Is that so?" I frowned.

Perhaps, letting Mitsu marry here is indeed embarrassing for her. When I was four or five years old, she went to Tsushima with me, and since then she has been living in the coastal area, and her favorite thing is the endless sea, and she often goes to the beach. However, this wild castle is located in the mountains, and it will definitely be a little unaccustomed. In addition, compared to the huge Mie Castle, the imposing main castle tower, and the bustling town of Mie, this castle is very remote and simple. Not to mention the unique garden scenery in Mie Castle, which is inspired by famous people and vegetables, but here there are only mountains full of trees.

Thinking of this, I was relieved, but I couldn't help but sigh. As the daughter of a samurai family, it is impossible to be autonomous most of the time. Compared with the others, she has the status of the princess of the Oda family, and her husband's family is also the county of a county, and her husband is a very good person, which is already very rare. Think about Kitabatake Yukihime, who committed suicide by throwing herself into the water at the beginning of last year, she is also a beautiful girl with a noble status, but it is such a tragic ending.

"I'm so sorry I didn't take good care of the princess." Gamo bowed his head and apologized to me.

"It's none of the business," I shook my head with a wry smile, "The little girl has been pampered since she was a child, and neither I, her mother-in-law, her biological mother, nor the maid in the family have let her suffer any grievances. Now that I have arrived at the Gamo family, I am naturally a little unaccustomed to it. After a while, it will get better......"

"I'm so sorry!" Gamo Fuxiu suddenly interrupted me and knelt down in front of me.

"Tadazaburo ......" Kamo Kenhide wanted to say something to stop me, but after looking at me, he exhaled dejectedly and sat down and bowed down to me.

I realized that there must be something else going on here, and it must have been caused by the Gamo family. Therefore, Gamo Xianxiu tried to hide it, but now that Gamo Fuxiu has taken the initiative to ask for guilt, it is naturally impossible to hide it from me anymore.

"Well, tell me the whole thing!" My tone was still so polite, but it certainly wasn't very pretty. Seeing this, Kamo Kenhide's main room, Noden, immediately withdrew from the room with the maids.

"Yes......" Fuxiu lowered his head again and began the narration in a low voice.

It turns out that since marrying in Yuno Castle, Mitsu has been depressed and unhappy, and it is rare to see a smile. By May, Gamo Kenhide politely rejected the Shibata Katsuie's request for help, and accepted the Rokkaku family's envoy, as if he was about to turn his back on the Oda family. This was originally the meaning of the two ends of the first rat, but when Mitsu found out, he thought that he was going to break with the Oda family and meet each other, so he tried to commit suicide with scissors, but was stopped by the maids, and then restricted his movements; Later, she still found an opportunity and crashed headfirst into the stone wall at the bottom of the castle tower, almost losing her surname on the spot.

When something like this happened, the Gamo family immediately became anxious. If the princess of the Oda family died in Yuno Castle at this critical time, then no matter how the Gamo family argued, it would be impossible to calm the anger of the Oda family, and they could only break with the Oda family completely. For the Gamo family, this is a life-and-death crisis.

At this time, the news of Shibata Katsuie's defeat of the Hexagonal Coalition Army came again, making the situation even more urgent. Under the persuasion of Gamo Fuxiu, Gamo Xianxiu immediately made a decision, beheaded the envoy of the Rokkaku family, and then sent support materials to Chokoji Castle, and also sent troops to clean up the mess in the territory, and resolutely stood on the side of the Oda family.

On the other hand, the Gamo family tried their best to save Mitsu, and it was not easy to save Mitsu's life. However, after this toss, Mitsu's body is almost collapsed, and she still has the will to die, lying on the tatami mat every day without eating or drinking. The Gamus family had no choice but to force her to drink some rice soup every day to continue her life...... "I'm really sorry!" Gamo Fuxiu finally kowtowed on the floor.

Listening to his words, I could hardly believe my ears. When Mitsu left Gifu, I saw her off, and the dowry was also provided by me and Yuga. Although she was a little less lively at that time, she was more dignified than in Mie Castle, and her health was fine. Now that I've been married for just over a year, I've actually come to this point?

“…… So, Mitsu is dying? I stood up and subconsciously paced back and forth in front of the two of them, and finally stopped in front of Kamo Kenhide, "If I don't come this time, what are you going to do?" ”

In the face of my words and emotions, the two did not dare to speak.

"Don't you dare to say it?" I almost gritted my teeth and said to myself, "As long as I survive this while, then I can report her death and bury her in the ground, right?" …… Ha ha! Of course, you were meritorious people at that time! How could Mitsu not think about it! How could His Highness Danzheng pursue it! Even if it's me, what do I have to say! Right! ”

The more I talked, the angrier I became. And the two still did not respond.

"Say!" I shouted. Looking at the two people in front of him, he almost wanted to kick them over.

"His Royal Highness Captain Saemon! Everything is a decrepit decision! An old voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and then an old man with sparse gray hair walked in. He sat down in front of me like Kamyu Xianxiu, but his sitting posture was very upright, and he just nodded slightly: "It was the old man who cared about the kindness of the old leader Ding Lai Gong, so he forced the head of the family to move closer to the Hexagonal family!" ”

"His Royal Highness Gamo Dingxiu?" I asked.

"Exactly, as an important minister of the Hexagonal Family, the old man is deeply favored by the Hexagonal Family, and he can't ignore the requirements of His Royal Highness Yixian in both feelings and reason." Gamo Dingxiu raised his head and looked at me fixedly, "If His Royal Highness Captain Saemon feels that such righteousness and affection should not be taken into account, then is it appropriate for Ling Ai, who is the main room of the Gamo family's concubine, to still care about his mother's family?" …… Of course, that is the beloved daughter of His Royal Highness Captain Saemon, and from the position of His Royal Highness Captain Saemon, he naturally will not agree with the words of the old man. So, how about cutting off the old head and avenging Ling Ai? ”

"Do you think I won't dare to kill you!" I put my hand on the hilt.

"Father!" Gamo Hyunsu exclaimed, as if trying to argue for him, but he stopped him with a gesture. Gamo Fuxiu also raised his head to look at his grandfather, but he didn't make any moves, just a sad look in his eyes.

"Huh!" Gamo Dingxiu laughed, "Then please do it!" Hope to be able to make a point...... I've heard that His Royal Highness Saemon Lieutenant is very bad at swordsmanship! ”

It's too much, right? Why do you underestimate me so much...... I pulled Haiyue out in half.

"Your Highness," Naotora Ii beside me reached out and pressed the hilt of the knife at my waist, and whispered in my ear, "He's deliberately provoking you!" ”

So that's it! I suddenly sobered up a lot. If I behead Gamo Dingxiu, not to mention my reputation, and even the Oda family will definitely not be able to pursue Mitsu's affairs anymore...... Sure enough, he is worthy of being an important minister who accepts the hexagonal Dinglai, what an old fox!

"Please take me to see it first!" I sheathed the knife and let go of the hilt, and my tone softened, "Maybe I can do it." ”

"Doesn't His Royal Highness Captain Saemon want to behead the old age?" Gamo asked deliberately.

"I'm not that cruel person, you don't have to tease me anymore," I smiled wryly, "It's not all the fault of the Gamo family, the little girl's mood and surname are also problematic, I really can't help you just now...... Alas, it's all because I used to spoil her too much! ”

Really, a bad old man in his sixties who is almost half in the ground, and he still wants to resist my lovely daughter? Although the scene was serious, I still couldn't help but complain in my heart.

But Gamo was right. According to the so-called righteousness, Mitsu should not have made such a decision. Not to mention the soldiers, even if the Oda and Kira families are extinct, she should endure the humiliation and give birth to a son for the Kamo family, so as to continue the bloodline of the Kira family - if she is my own daughter.

Most of the marriages in this era have such a meaning. At the beginning of Mikawa, the Matsudaira family and the Mizuno family had been hostile for a long time; When Matsudaira Kiyoyasu was powerful, Mizuno Tadamasa was forced to surrender, and he also gave the beautiful main room Huayangin Temple, who had given birth to three sons and one daughter, to Kiyoyasu; After Kiyoyasu's death, the situation reversed, the Matsudaira family was in turmoil and was on the verge of extinction, and Kayoin made his own daughter in the Mizuno family, Yu Daiying, the main room of Hirotada, and gave birth to the later Tokugawa Ieyasu. This is all for the sake of continuing the bloodline.

As the weak party, it's so helpless. Although the Gamo family is a county and a county, it is between the new lord Oda family and the imposing former lord Rokkaku family, so they can only wait and see the situation for the time being.

And in the face of my anger, for the sake of the peace of my family, Gamo Dingxiu had no choice but to make the consciousness of giving up his surname. Gamo Fushu saw very well that even though his grandfather was likely to be killed in front of his eyes, he could only sit back and watch with a sad heart, and did not try to stop the situation.

There is no right or wrong, only what is at stake. That's how it is in this era! Even I, although I claim to be a principled person, but in fact, it is not out of interest to dispel the idea of killing Gamo Dingxiu. From the point of view of my values, it is more important to follow righteousness than to vent anger...... "His Royal Highness Captain Saemon has been benevolent and reasonable, and it really lives up to his name!" For the demeanor I showed, Gamo Dingxiu smiled and gave me a deep bow, "His Royal Highness's affection for his beloved daughter is also very understandable. ”

"Makes you smile." I sighed softly.

"If you want to visit Mitsu, please come along." Gamo Fuxiu stood up and took the initiative to lead me inside.

As he walked, he talked to me about Mitsu:

"She's a great person to work with. When I first arrived, when a guest visited or asked to see her, she would give her a warm reception and give some new things or snacks from Mie Town, which was very loved by everyone......

"It's a pity that the environment here is not suitable for her, and after a long time, her mood slowly decreased, and she secretly told me that she wanted to go home and see ......"

"What happened later is also very sad in the future. I really didn't expect her surname to be so decisive......"

Thus going up to the second floor of the castle tower, Gamo Fushu stopped in front of a room and opened the door: "This is it." Come in. ”

I walked two steps through the door and looked at the people in the room, unable to believe my eyes. Mitsu actually became like this? She lay flat on the tatami mat, wearing a thin jacket to her chest, which looked like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old person, completely like a skeleton, thin and not in human shape. Her face was blue, like the twilight of autumn, and her lips, which used to be bright like rose petals, were now pale and pale.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was haggard to this extent...... For a moment, I couldn't help but want to get angry again.

"She just fell asleep a while ago...... "Gamo Fuxiu whispered to the side.

"Ah, really?" I nodded, suppressed my anger and walked over to the tatami mat. Half-kneeling to brush the hair from her sideburns, sure enough, a shocking scar was found on the right forehead.

"What a determination it takes...... Really, why does it have to be this way? Naotora Iii sighed.

This sentence of emotion once again calmed me down. Indeed, in this era, a woman marries into his family, and then the mother's family and her husband's family turn against each other, and there are many similar things. In the face of such a situation, Mitsu's approach is the most undesirable, not only meaningless, but will become an obstacle to the reconciliation between the two families. For example, this time, if Mitsu is really dead, then the Gamo family will have to follow the Rokkaku family with all their hearts.

Perhaps, I used to be too spoiled by Mitsu......
