"Shingu Tani Nikokan, north of Gassan Tomita Castle"

At this time, there was already a dense array of cheap guns outside the hall, and the flying fire arrows rose into the air again, shooting into the already chaotic hall.

The ashigaru, led by their respective samurai, began to storm the walls of the pavilion; And the people inside didn't seem to want to be caught, and shot arrows from inside the wall and from the building, and the screams were endless for a while.

Except for those who put out the fire from all over the building, almost all the men gathered at the gate, including samurai, peasants, and craftsmen, but at this moment they all held swords and carried cheap guns, some gritted their teeth, and some showed fear......

Standing at the front, wearing a brown armor and a white scarf, the leader is the leader at this moment, the three men of the Nizi country, the Nizi Jingjiu.

He felt that all this today seemed to be a disaster descended by gods and Buddhas, why did the Xingong Party family, which shook the Western Kingdom, end up with death and annihilation within one day?

First of all, when his father Niko Kunihisa went to Mt. Tsukiyama Tomita Castle to participate in the assessment, he was intercepted and killed by Ota Toyogomori, who had always been opposed to the Shingu Party at home; In a hurry, his brother Niko Seihisa led the army to seek revenge, but was suddenly declared a rebellion by the lord Haruhisa, and the army that rushed out of Mt. Tsukiyama Tomita Castle directly defeated the Seihisa army, and Niko Seihisa was defeated and killed; And now they have killed the new palace valley again, and it seems that they are about to kill the new palace nun family.

Under the violent impact, the door of the pavilion was still crumbling despite everyone's best efforts; Jingjiu thought of the death of his father and brother at this time, his face showed a fierce light, and he roared angrily outside:

"Qingjiu, even if we become evil ghosts, we will ask you for our lives! I curse you not to die! ”

"Humph!"

Outside the wall, the warrior with a grim expression on horseback snorted lightly, and ordered to his subordinates:

"I'll leave it to you, and you're not going to let anyone go."

"Oh!"

After finishing speaking, he took one last look at this place, took the horse and left, and with a light sentence, it decided the life and death of everyone here.

Several of the older warriors finished answering and looked at each other, and one of them shook his head and sighed:

"I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place! Alas~"

Everyone knew what he was sighing about, Kunihisa and the Shingu Party could be said to have always been the most elite military force of the Izumo Niko family; As the second son of Nizi for a long time, Nizi Guojiu has made great contributions to the Nizi family's expedition to the east and west; But all those who have high merit and shake the Lord have common diseases......

When the ancestor was alive for a long time, he was still able to suppress the rebellion of the samurai of the Shingu Party, but since the death of the ancestor and the succession of his grandson Haruhisa, the Shingu Party has become more and more arrogant, and even annexed the territories of other retainers. The contradictions between Guojiu and the lord Qingjiu have accumulated day by day, and finally they have reached the point where they are irreconcilable.

Although the purging of the new palace party helped Nizi Qingjiu to centralize power, after all, it was the killing of relatives, and it was the strength of the entire Nizi family that was damaged.

Bang!

The gate fell to the ground with a bang, and after a moment of shock, Nizi Jingjiu raised his sword and shouted, rushing forward, and the people behind him, driven by him, also regarded death as home;

The two sides began to scuffle; Angry scolding and wailing are intertwined; Swords collided with bodies, blood and corpses spread across the gate......

In the residence, the maids had already been frightened and hid everywhere; There was a rush of footsteps, and a samurai with a disheveled hair opened a door, only to see a woman protecting the boy under two years old in her arms, this is Sun Shiro, the youngest child of Niko Seihisa.

The warrior breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Quickly take Sun Shiro with me."

When the woman saw that it was Seihisa's retainer Nakamura Takakuni, as if grasping a life-saving straw, she grabbed his arm and begged:

"Definitely, you must keep the blood of the lord, please lord."

Nakamura Takakuni nodded, grabbed her and the child and started running out.

At this time, Haruhisa had already rushed in, and Nakamura slashed over one person with a knife, escorting the woman and the child to run to a place where there were few people;

Nakamura Takakuni is a retainer of Nikko Seijiu, after Seijiu died in battle, the samurai under their remaining Makohisa took it as their duty to protect Makohisa's five children, trying to protect the children to flee first, but I didn't expect the Haruhisa army to move very quickly to surround Shinmiya Valley, and now there is no way, so I have to break through with one child each, even if only one child escapes, it is a reward for the lord's spirit in the sky.

The entire new palace was already in chaos, and the fire was gradually raging; There were shouts of killing and cries everywhere.

Nakamura Takakuni escorted the two of them to the hand gate, the entire new palace was built according to the castle, except for the fact that it was not built very strong because it was located in the belly of the Niko family, everything else was as usual; The Tsutama Gate is an escape gate built in almost every city, and it is usually hidden in a secret place in order to facilitate escape.

Along the way, Nakamura Takakuni met two more embarrassed samurai, namely Mitsukuni Nitanda and Goroemon Oyu; They saw that it was Nakamura, and they took the young master's son Sun Shiro, so they simply joined him, and the three of them protected Sun Shilang and the nurse in the middle, and fled all the way to the hand gate.

But they obviously underestimated Haruma's determination to completely eliminate the Shingu party, and the Shingu Pavilion Tsutammon was a secret to outsiders, but for Harumata, who was originally the master of the Niko's family, everything about Shingu Valley was like a woman who stripped naked; This place has long been controlled by the forces of Harumasa.

The leading generals who surrounded this place were the important ministers of the Nizi family, Tachihara Yukitsuna, and their two sons, Tachihara Yukitaka and Tachihara Hisatsuna, it is worth mentioning that Tachihara Hisatsuna had just served Yuanfu.

Nakamura Takakuki's face sank when he saw this, and Ertanda and Oyo were also in despair.

It seems that the army of the Liyuan family is only standing here, and they have not gone in to kill and plunder like the other armies; But at this moment, the two parties are relatively silent, and the atmosphere is a little weird.

After a moment, Tachihara Yutaka took two steps forward and shouted at Nakamura and asked:

"Who is this kid?"

Nakamura Takakuni's heart tightened, is it really a catastrophe? While he was silent, an old and steady voice came:

"It's Sun Shiro, right?"

I saw a samurai with a neatly groomed beard holding a sword in both hands, looking at him with a serious face.

Nakamura Takakuni knows who he is, the head of the Tachihara family, and Tachihara Yuzuna; At this time, Tachihara Yuzuna said again:

"I can let Sun Shiro go............"

"Father's ......"

Tachihara Yukitaka wanted to stop Tachihara Yukitsuna's decision, but after being glared at by his own old man, he had to bow his head unwillingly.

Nakamura is like a drowning man at this time, desperately trying to grasp the straw that saves his life:

"Is His Highness Rigahara serious?"

Yukitsuna Tachihara bowed slightly: "Really! But I was ordered not to allow any of the Shingu samurai to escape. ”

Nakamura relaxed when he heard this, he was relieved at this moment, he understood the meaning of Tachihara Yuzuna's words, but at this moment his life and death were no longer important, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed to Tachihara Yuzuna, and then whispered to Sun Shiro's nurse Ah Jie:

"The matter has come to this, I hope that you will take Sun Shilang safely to Yongyuan Temple, where someone will take you in; I have a son named Inomatsuro who lives in the house of a blacksmith named Jidai in Matsue, so if you have the chance, please give him this and tell him...... His father was not a coward. ”

Ah Jie nodded with tears in his eyes and put away half a palm-sized wooden horse.

The next moment, Nakamura Takakuni pulled out the ribs and stabbed him cleanly into the abdomen, curled up and fell in a pool of blood; Before Ah Jie could react, Mitsukuni Ertanda and Gorou Oemon used their knives against each other's abdomen and violently forced, and their bodies were pierced at the same time, and they snuggled up to each other and fell to the ground.

Ah Jie was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the hand that was supposed to cover Sun Shiro's eyes turned into covering his mouth.

The strange thing is that Sun Shiro didn't cry like a child of the same age, but stared at Tachihara Yuzuna and the others tightly.

Looking at the decisive self-harm of the three of them, the samurai and ashigaru of the Tachihara family both showed admiration and regret, and even Tachihara Yuzuna couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity that a bastard like Seihisa can have such a loyal samurai......"

"Does Father really want to let Sun Shiro go? The Lord must be held accountable......"

Yutaka still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Yuitsuna Tachihara:

"Just after this incident, I will give you the governor of the Liyuan family, if he is held accountable, there is me, a reclusive old man, to bear, it has nothing to do with the Liyuan family, the Nizi family has died enough people today......"

Ah Knot walked nervously to the door with Sun Shiro in her arms, the samurai of the Tachihara Army and Ashigaru gave way to a passage, she didn't dare to look at the faces of these people, these people were demons to her at any time to her;

When she passed by the father and son of Tachihara with Sun Shiro in her arms, Sun Shiro looked at them; Hisatsuna Tachihara, who still had a childish look on his face, also looked at him, and for some reason, he actually felt that this little brother was a little different.

Tachihara Yuzuna also noticed that Sun Shiro, who was less than two years old, didn't cry or make trouble, and that kind of calm and deep eyes made him feel like a child who hadn't remembered yet, could there really be a natural unicorn?

When Ah Jie ran away with Sun Shiro in his arms, Tachihara Hisatsuna was still looking in that direction, and he suddenly had a feeling that he would definitely meet Sun Shiro again in the future.

At this time, his brother Tachihara Yutaka yelled at everyone:

"Three enemy generals died in a battle with our army, a woman with a child escaped in the chaos, a team went with me to search for it, and the rest of the people waited to hold here, and no one should be spared!"

"Oh!"

Yutaka Tachihara left with a group of people, but he strolled in the other direction.

Tachihara Yuzuna looked at his eldest son like this, smiled and shook his head, but he could see that his face was full of relief.

In November of the 23rd year of Astronomy (1554), there was a civil strife in the Niko family in Izumo Province, and the head of the Niko family, Haruhisa Niko, and his uncle Niko Kunihisa met with swordsmen, and all the major samurai were beheaded in one day, and the Nimiya Tani Nikokan was burned;

Niko Kunihisa and his samurai: Seihisa, Keihisa, Tokihisa, Yoshihisa, and others were all killed, and only Seihisa's five sons, Sun Shiro, escaped.

Later, people called it: "The Rebellion of the Shingu Party"; The withering of the Nizi family's relatives is also one of the reasons for the rapid demise of the Nizi family, which has the name of "Guardian of the Eight Kingdoms".
