Twenty years ago, a bloody and brutal civil strife broke out in Xichuan.

After the death of the old family head, his three sons started a competition for the position of head of the family, including Nishinomiya Ryuhei.

....

At that time, all the generals understood that Nishinomiya Ryuhei's original intention was not to fight for the head of the family, but to resolve this civil strife, he had been in the army all his life, was not good at politics, and he pretended to be the head of the family.

However, he thought so, and his two brothers didn't think so, because Xigong Ryuhei held the power of the army.

Although the battle for power was not as powerful as Victoria's, the process in the middle was more brutal.

Cannibalism and unscrupulous means.

In the end, perhaps because his heart was not vicious enough, Xigong Ryuhei was deprived of military power, and was forced to flee his family after being seriously injured.

Because of the chaos, he couldn't take care of his wife and children, so he just arranged for his henchmen to flee abroad by boat with his wife, a son and a daughter.

It was necessary, and his offspring was also a threat, and the two brothers would surely be wiped out in order to eradicate the trouble.

In this way, Nishinomiya Ryuhei withdrew from the battlefield and was separated from his wife and children, and that year, his son was 7 years old and his daughter was only 2 years old.

.....

As for the result of the subsequent infighting, a man named Nishinomiya Kohei won, and this person is Nishigong Ling's father.

Nishinomiya Kohei defeated his two own brothers and succeeded to the throne of the head of the family.

However, like God's retribution, 5 years later, Nishigong Kang was seriously ill and bedridden.

The disease deteriorated very quickly, and before he died, he passed the position of head of the family to his son, Xigong Ling, who was only 13 years old at the time.

....

Xigong Ling is different from his father, he is a very upright person who cares about family affection.

A few years later, when he had grown up, he personally recruited his uncle who lived alone in the mountains and forests, Nishinomiya Ryuhei.

In this way, Nishinomiya Ryuhei returned to the Nishinomiya family as the first military general of the family.

Lead troops to fight, guard the frontier, and everything is as if it never happened.

It's just that since then, Nishinomiya Ryuhei has never found out about his wife and children.

He didn't know which country his wife and children fled to after leaving Dongguo, and he didn't even know whether they were dead or alive.

Until now, 20 years later.

.....

.....

The story of Nishinomiya Hikoshi is finished.

After listening to what General Long Ping experienced, even Xia Feng, an outsider, couldn't help but sigh a little, to be honest, he didn't even dare to act like this in a TV series.

Forced to get involved in the battle for the head of the family, because of his soft heart and soft hands, he exposed his flaws, and then lost his military power, his wife was separated, and he fled separately.

A few years later, when the dust settled, and his former enemies were no longer alive, he forgot the resentment in his heart, returned to his family, picked up a katana, and guarded the border.

Just because, his surname is Nishinomiya.

Nishinomiya Ryuhei regained his military power, but he did not attack his nephew, and the wife who was killed was separated, but he did not transfer his hatred to the next generation.

No wonder Xigong Yanshi is so in awe, this person is really a person who is both loyal and righteous.

.....

Of course, this incident sounds bizarre because outsiders simply do not understand some of the details of what happened at that time.

At the same time, Xia Feng had no doubt about the authenticity of this matter, because he had also heard of a similar version of the Nishinomiya family's civil strife from another person.

Uncle Minamino said that many years ago, there was a civil strife in the Nishinomiya family, and a team of defeated soldiers and horses ran to the south coast.

Because of the lack of food and grass, he was forced to fall into the grass and wanted to attack the isolated Nanno Village.

Subsequently, he was killed by Sakuratake Shiyalang, who lived in seclusion in the cherry blossom forest.

Now that I think about it, that team of people should be another brother of Nishinomiya Ryuhei after the defeat.

....

After the storyteller finished speaking, the listener also listened, and the night breeze was gentle, cool from the bottom of my heart.

Xigong Yanshi straightened up, rubbed his face vigorously, and then said to Xia Feng with some apologies.

"I'm sorry to listen to me, an old thing, nagging about these old things that are not worth mentioning to you, Your Excellency Xia Feng, it's really bothering."

"It's okay."

After listening to this story, to be honest, Xia Feng was still not too touched, and he couldn't change what Inan Xue made him "understand".

All he can do is reach out and pull a handful within a certain range, and that's it.

"Mr. Yanshi, I will add another 4 billion to the 4 billion military expenses promised before, and after I go back, I will send someone to call the Longmen account you had before."

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, you ......"

"If you are grateful, there is no need, there is only so much I can do, or that sentence, let the warriors of the Nishinomiya family fight hard and strive to defend Nishikawa."

With that, Xia Feng tightened the scarf around his neck.

"I'm leaving, Mr. Yanshi, I wish the Xigong family good luck, and we will meet again."

.....

.....

Silently walking out of the Xigong family's mansion, Xia Feng went to the wasteland where the helicopter was parked alone.

This is the capital of Nishikawa, and even at night, the streets outside the mansion are bustling with lights, but every pedestrian on the street has a sad face.

At this moment, Xia Feng happened to see a little girl playing with her pouting ass on the side of the road.

Unlike adults, perhaps only innocent children can smile genuinely at such moments.

Sensing that Xia Feng was watching her, the little girl straightened up and ran towards him on her short legs.

"Big Brother~"

It may be that Xia Feng's clothes are very strange compared to ordinary people, and the little girl blinks her big eyes and is curious, staring at him all the time.

Xia Feng reached out and touched her head.

"It's getting late, let's go home."

"Well~"

With that, the little girl smiled at him like a flower, then raised her little hand and handed him a rough object in her hand.

"Big brother, give~"

"It's ..... Gave it to me? ”

"Well~"

Seeing Xia Feng take it, the little girl seemed to be very happy, turned around and ran away.

Xia Feng stared blankly at the little girl's back until she disappeared at the end of the street.

What he had just picked up from the little girl's hand was a rough paper windmill.

.....

"Weng Weng!"

Blacksteel International's helicopter started and slowly rose into the black sky.

Through the window, Xia Feng finally glanced down at the mansion of the Nishinomiya family, and remembered this family that existed in the history of the Eastern Kingdom.

Perhaps, this is the last time he will see this mansion, because, no matter whether he wins or loses this dispute, the decline of the Nishinomiya family is already doomed.

If they lose, the Sakura family will replace the Nishinomiya family, and if they win, the Nishinomiya family will be cannibalized into a shell by foreign consortia in the next three years, and they will be self-defeating.

Sitting on the helicopter, Xia Feng exhaled heavily, and when he left this mansion, his mentality changed a little.

Inan Xue is right, the fate of the Nishinomiya family is not the first case in this world, this is just the inevitability of the advancement of history, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.

There is no excuse to be sympathetic, everything, just because they are not strong enough.

....

But for some reason, he kept the dirty paper windmill in his hand and didn't throw it away.
