On the night of June 21, 1548, the moon rose. A group of men and horses came straight from a distance with torches, and finally stopped in front of the gate of Nawa's Kawajiri Castle. When the peasants guarding the gate saw who was coming, they immediately opened the gate and let the group into the city.

This team of people and horses is headed by the name and the young master of the family, and the name and the line are straight, and the people are good and good, and the river is straight. At this time, the Uchikawa Zongzhi led his subordinates to the bedroom towards the city lord Nahe Xingzhi with a solemn face.

"Has the young master already slept?" When he came to the gate of the courtyard where the castle lord Nawa Yukinao's bedroom was located, Uchikawa Sonao asked Ashigaru who was guarding the gate of the courtyard.

"Less...... Young Master...... The villain doesn't know what to do, and the young master strictly ordered me not to go in and disturb me......" The two of them said the truth that they didn't know if Lu Dao's name and Xingzhi had slept peacefully.

"Let's go. Come with me. Hearing this, the Uchikawa Sect waved his hand to signal that the two ashigaru guarding the door did not need to say more, and then beckoned a few of his entourage behind him to follow him into the courtyard.

"Huh? Big...... The two gatekeepers were about to remind Uchikawa Sonao that it was best not to disturb Nawa Yukinao at this time, but thinking of the relationship between Uchikawa Sonao and Nawa Yukinao, he finally pretended not to see anything and continued to stand guard outside the courtyard gate.

At this time, Nawa Yukiao in the bedroom was panting. A young woman was tightly wrapped around his waist and kept shaking, and when she heard the sound of impatient footsteps outside, her body involuntarily contracted and twitched sharply. He couldn't help but let out a sudden outgas. The young woman groaned a few words, as if she was still a little unsatisfied. It's just that Ming and Xingzhi had to get up and ask softly, "Who is outside?" ”

Uchikawa paused in the hallway for a moment, he had just heard a moan coming from the bedroom. If there are no accidents. The woman in the bedroom was the charming concubine of Nawa Xingzhi's father, Nawa Wutou.

Nawa Xingzhi had always coveted his father's favorite concubine. Now take advantage of the opportunity to go out to fight with the famous and martial arts. He's finally gotten his hands on it, and he's been spending almost all of his energy on this woman lately.

Thinking of this, the Inland River Sect couldn't help but feel sad for himself and Wutou. He fought for the interests of the family outside, and even died in the end, and his son was still contaminated with his favorite concubine at this time. At the same time, he also had a little jealousy in his heart. I think back then, when he was still young, he was still a person who was favored by his name and line. It's just that with age. He found himself losing more and more fame and the favor of his straight line.

Standing outside the corridor, he was distracted for a while, and when he thought that he still had a heavy responsibility related to the survival of his family today, he immediately came back to his senses, pretending to be respectful and slightly impatient and replied: "Young master, it's your subordinate, are you resting?" ”

As soon as Ming and Xingzhi heard it, they knew who the people in the corridor were, and at the same time, they couldn't help but think of the scene when the two of them were like Fang Cai and Ming and Wutou's favorite concubines, so he shook his head and motioned to the favorite concubine who got up and said, "It turned out to be San Lang!" Come on in! Go and light up the candle flame a little. ”

After a while, a light appeared in the originally dimly lit room. The twenty-year-old Neihe Sect walked straight into the room. Seeing a charming figure behind the screen disappear in a flash, he hurriedly respectfully saluted the famous and straight and said, "Young master." Your Majesty has met two family members who are in a hurry to ask to see you, and they have sent surprising news, so they came to disturb your night break, please forgive me. As he spoke, he handed a letter to the other party. One side of the page had already been soaked with sweat, apparently seeping out of the Neihe Sect when he first entered.

After reading the letter, Minghe Xingzhi's face immediately turned pale, and his originally tired body straightened up in vain, and a drop of sweat hung on his forehead, I don't know if Lu Dao was caused by overwork just now, or caused by reading the letter, I saw that his voice was a little trembling and asked, "Is this ...... This...... It's true? ”

"Young master, I'm afraid it's true!" Uchikawa replied with a somewhat hesitant face. Nawa Xingzhi's panicked expression at this time made Neihe Zongzhi feel compassion for a while. The so-called overnight husband and wife, although he has gradually been snubbed now, no matter what, they had each other in their hearts at the beginning. But when he thought of his father's solemn entrustment before leaving, Neihe Zongzhi's heart couldn't help but become tangled again.

For the change in the expression of the Uchikawa Zongzhi, the name and the line were not aware at all, at this time he felt as if the sky was about to fall because of the news in the letter, and kept muttering to himself: "Impossible, this is impossible, how can my father die!" It's deceptive. ”

"Young master, this matter has been confirmed, and before his subordinates came, he also received a letter of help from the father and son of Utu City Utu Xingxing, who was under the onslaught of the Luo family at this time." Although he couldn't bear it, and he was also entangled in his heart, he still decided to tell the truth.

"What? When and why is no one announcing? Nawa Xingzhi's face had turned pale at this time.

"You locked yourself up here, and you were in turmoil with the favored concubines of Ming and Wutou, and no one was allowed to approach, so naturally you won't be informed." Neihe Zongzhi said in his heart. Thinking of this, the jealousy in the heart of Uchikawa Sonao became even more violent, and at that moment, he decided to follow his father's instructions to protect the continuation of the family, so he secretly made a gesture to the two subordinates outside him.

Several retainers of the Neihe family, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, immediately took action, and instantly entered Nawa Yukinao's bedroom, and controlled Nawa Yukinao, who was stunned by the sudden scene in front of him, and soon after, the favorite concubine who was hiding behind the screen was also controlled.

"Hmm......" Nawa Yukinao, who was gagged, looked at Muenao Uchikawa, who was sitting across from him, in panic, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

"Please allow me to call you again after the last call, Young Master." Uchikawa Zongzhi bowed respectfully to the famous and Xingzhi, "For the sake of the survival of the family, Your Majesty implores the young master to lend the head to the minister, so that no matter whether the Otomo family or the Luo family arrives in the end, the family will be able to obtain enough credit by virtue of the young master's head and this castle." ”

"Hmmmm......" Nawa Yukinao, who was firmly controlled by the two Uchikawa samurai from behind, immediately kicked his hands and feet in panic after listening to Uchikawa Muenao's words.

"Let's do it!" Uchikawa Zongzhi glanced at Nawa Xingzhi again, then stood up, turned around and closed his eyes, and ordered.

With the order of Uchikawa Sonao, the two samurai picked up the concordation and wiped it on the necks of Nawa Yukinao and the favored concubine who was also controlled, and a large amount of blood flowed down the necks of the two of them. Soon the two lost their voices completely.

When the retainers cut off the head of Nawa Yukinao and kept it in a wooden box prepared in advance, Uchikawa Muenao suddenly turned around, hugged the box containing the head of Nawa Yukinao in his arms, and cried in a low voice.

The atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became silent, and the retainers silently guarded the side of Nagawa Zongzhi, but they didn't say a word.

"Don't worry, after sending you to the invitation, I will claim you back, and I will inlay your head on my tatami mat so that we will not be separated......"

"Young master, it's time to leave." At this time, finally a retainer couldn't stand it anymore, so he persuaded him.

Uchikawa nodded and silently handed the wooden box containing the head of the name and line to a retainer, and then gave the order to retreat.

"Young master, don't you need to set fire?" Just as everyone was about to leave the bedroom, another retainer pointed to the two bodies of a man and a woman lying in the bedroom. According to the previous orders of Uchikawa Sonao's father, when they left, they were to set fire to the bedroom and cause chaos in the city so that they could escape.

"No need, no one dares to stop me from leaving at this time. In addition, if anyone finds out that their lord has been killed, it is estimated that all the people in the city will soon run away, so the family has sent a castle to the future lord's family. ”

"Young Master Wise ......" (to be continued......)
