The situation inside the castle tower of Kunimine Castle is now at a stalemate.

Yumi Kohata's three siblings were held hostage by Yoshinobu Takeda's subordinates, while Yoshinobu Takeda was held hostage by Yumi Kohata. At the moment, neither side will back down.

Seeing that her sister was pressed to the floor by the samurai of the Takeda family, Yumi Kohata couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Takeda Yoshinobu, you quickly let your subordinates let my younger brothers and sisters go, otherwise I will really do it." ”

Takeda Yoshinobu snorted and said, "I am a descendant of Genji Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, and I will never be coerced, even if you kill me, see what happens to your younger siblings in the future?" I absolutely guarantee that they are a hundred times worse than death. ”

At this time, the son of a small hata Jingchun who was arrested said very stiffly: "Sister, don't worry about us, kill Takeda Yoshinobu to avenge our father and the Kohata clan who died tragically outside the city." ”

As soon as the little boy finished speaking, his head was slashed off by the samurai behind him with a sharp sword, and blood from his neck spurted everywhere.

Not far away, Yumi Kohata shouted miserably, "Taro." At the same time, Yumi Kohata's younger sister, Yusada Kohata, was once again frightened by this bloody scene and cried.

The samurai led by Takeda Yoshinobu shouted loudly: "Yumi Kohata, if you don't let go of Childe again, I will kill your sister first." ”

The other party also saw that Yumi Kohata and his sister were sisters, so they chose her as the next target for execution. When the samurai approached Yusada Kohata with a sword, Yumi Kohata shouted, "Don't. ”

Now that the situation has reached a stalemate again, Yumi Kohata does not dare to let go of Takeda Yoshinobu, and Takeda Yoshinobu does not dare to kill another person, for fear that it will really force Yumi Kohata to go to the extreme under the sadness and anger.

At the same time, the cold sweat on Takeda Yoshinobu's forehead also fell drop by drop, and he was a little unstable standing between his legs.

"My lord, see if you come forward and save Lord Takeda Yoshinobu."

Seeing that the situation might continue to deteriorate, Dao Sheng said to Li Xiao fiercely.

And Li Xiao observed for a long time, and now she can see that the decisive look in Yumi Kohata's eyes is fading little by little, obviously in her mind, her sister's surname is very important, so ninety percent of them can't kill Takeda Yoshinobu. Since he can't kill Takeda Yoshinobu, if Li Xiao doesn't do nothing now, he will definitely be retaliated against by Takeda Yoshinobu in the future.

Well, Yoshinobu Takeda is so fateful. Li Xiao secretly made a decision.

"Shigang Yiyu, you lead a team of ashigaru to block the gate of the castle tower, and no one is allowed to let it in."

Li Xiao, who had been silent, finally spoke, he first asked Shigang Yiyu to block the castle tower, the current situation on both sides is very delicate, if anyone breaks in again, no one dares to guarantee that someone will be stimulated and act excessively.

After Shioka Kazuha went downstairs, Li Xiao looked at Takeda Yoshinobu who was held hostage by Yumi Kohata, and said: "Prince Yoshinobu, this national peak city castle was captured by me Li Xiao, according to reason, all these captives should be disposed of by me." ”

After Li Xiao said this, he gave Takeda Yoshinobu a look, and the other party was naturally not an idiot, like a drowning person who had to grasp a straw. What's more, this Li Xiao, his father Takeda Shingen has always had a high opinion of him.

Therefore, Takeda Yoshinobu decided to pin all his hopes of saving his surname on Li Xiao before his subordinates had no choice.

"Master Li Xiao, that's right, of course these captives are at your disposal."

Li Xiao heard Takeda Yoshinobu say this, nodded, looked at the samurai who coerced the two sisters with a knife, and said sharply: "In this case, don't let them go quickly, as a dignified samurai, you actually coerce two children with a knife, where is the honor of your samurai." ”

These two samurai directly under Takeda Yoshinobu listened to Li Xiao's reprimand and listened to Takeda Yoshinobu's previous words, so they put away the sword with shame on their faces, and let go of the two sisters and brothers. As soon as the two of them were free, they immediately ran to their sister's side.

"Thank you, my lord." Yumi Kohata glanced at Li Xiao gratefully.

Li Xiao nodded, he believed that his actions had won the trust of the other party, so he said: "Since we have shown enough sincerity, I wonder if you can also release the righteous son." I can make Yoshinobu swear that I will never retaliate against you three siblings afterwards, and I can personally guarantee the safety of all three of you. ”

Yumi Kohata hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, if he is willing to swear in the name of the Takeda family's Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu, then I can let him go." ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, Takeda Yoshinobu also knew that this was the last solution to negotiate.

Takeda Yoshinobu immediately swore an oath in the name of his ancestor Silla Saburo Yoshimitsu. And after Yoshinobu Takeda finished his oath, Yumi Kohata also let go of Yoshinobu Takeda. Yoshinobu Takeda touched the wound on his neck that was still oozing blood, remembering that the news of a woman from the Kohata family who had been held hostage would affect his reputation very much, and he longed to torture and kill the three siblings by a hundred means.

However, thinking of his oath, Takeda Yoshinobu finally held back, turned his head and glanced at Li Xiao, and said with a sneer: "Lord Li Xiao, it's really good, in this case, the three sisters will be handed over to you to dispose of, enjoy it." There was no gratitude to Li Xiao for saving his life, but a resentment was revealed.

After saying that, Yoshinobu Takeda took his samurai and walked down the stairs angrily.

In the vast room, only Li Xiao, Dao Shengmeng, and the soldiers led by him remained. The three sisters and brothers first knelt in front of their parents' bodies and wept bitterly for a while.

"My lord, what should the three sisters and brothers do?" Dao Sheng asked Li Xiao fiercely.

Now that Takeda Yoshinobu has handed over these three people to himself, what else can he do, of course, it's the sisters who fly together, plus I like the little Lori to grow or something, I feel super cool when I think about it. As for the little boy, who cares about him, what do you like? Li Xiao thought of this extremely evil in his heart.

"I haven't figured this out yet." In front of his subordinates, Li Xiao naturally couldn't reveal his intentions casually.

As if hearing the conversation between Li Xiao and Shima Katsuto, Yumi Kohata stepped forward and knelt down in front of Li Xiao and said, "My lord, please let me serve you." ”

Li Xiao was stunned when she heard Yumi Kohata say this, thinking to herself, I agreed so quickly, I was too proactive, so I would be shy. Please, you can at least be subtle. I like the reserved type, you know it or not.

"Well, haha. What do you want me to say? ”

Yumi Kohata didn't seem to understand Li Xiao's thoughts at all, and said extremely firmly: "My lord, as a child of a martial arts family, I have learned archery since I was a child, and I am proficient in archery. That's why I want to serve you as a samurai. ”

Proficient in archery? Not to warm my bed, well, I'll admit I think it's crooked.

Li Xiao calmed down, and after detailed questioning, he learned that Yumi Kohata's archery was learned from the famous archery master Ogasawara.

The Shinano Ogasawara clan was a famous samurai family that was proficient in bow and horse etiquette along with the Takeda family since the founding of the Kamakura shogunate. At that time, the head of the Ogasawara family, Ogasawara Nagasei, established the bow and horse etiquette of the samurai, and since then, whenever there is a large celebration or celebration in the shogunate, it is common for the Shinano Ogasawara surname and Kai Takeda clan to preside over the bow or equestrian ceremony.

Since then, the Ogasawara family and the Takeda family have also sent people to serve as archery and horse instructors for the shogun for a long time. For example, the Shinano Ogasawara clan was the head of the previous generations, such as Ogasawara Sadamune, and the head of the previous generation, Ogasawara Naga, who was a well-known archery master at that time.

Later, the Shinano Ogasawara clan was destroyed by the Takeda family, and from then on, Ogasawara-ryu's archery gradually spread.

For example, the fierce general of the Imagawa family, Ichinomiya Sodai, that is, Ichinomiya Suihasai, the founder of the archery school Suibo Sai, is also from the Ogasawara clan. There is also the mainstream of modern archery, the founder of Shikhiryu Yoshida Shigeaki, who also learned Ogasawara-ryu archery when he was young.

It's just that what Li Xiao doesn't understand is that the seemingly weak little girl in front of her actually claims to be the successor of Ogasawara's ryukushu, is her archery skills comparable to Ba Yuzen?

I saw Yumi Kohata say very firmly: "My lord, if you sell our three sisters and brothers as slaves, you can only get a few dozen pieces of money at most, but if you let me serve you as a samurai, I will definitely repay you with death, so please agree to my request." ”

The same little boy from the Kohata family also jumped over and knelt beside his sister, and said loudly, "My lord, I can also serve you as a samurai, please don't sell my two sisters into slavery." ”

No one expected this to be the situation, Li Xiao and Dao Shengmeng on the field glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to decide for a while, but the remaining sister Yuzhen Kohata stopped her tears, and the tears on her face did not dry, but she blinked curiously and stared at Li Xiao.
