The rest of the month, in a hurry, under the careful care of Lily, Shengxin recovered faster than expected, but the wound only healed, and he couldn't try too hard.

Lunosuke is also as he said, for more than a month, he has insisted on staying in Cuizhuju, guarding Shengxin's side; He sat quietly in the corridor outside Shengxin's room today, as usual.

"Shikasuke."

Behind him, Shengxin called softly; Shikanosuke hurriedly turned around: "Is Your Highness going out?" ”

"I ......"

Facing Shikanosuke, who couldn't be driven away, Katsushin didn't know what to talk about, but for a while, Katsushin also understood how persistent Kanosuke was.

Katsushin sat next to Shikanosuke, looked at the withered dead trees in the courtyard, and asked with some curiosity:

"Is the Nizi family that important? Risking your life? ”

Yamanaka Kanosuke was stunned for a moment in the face of Katsushin's sudden inquiry, and then Masase replied:

"A samurai without a lord is no different from a beggar; The Yamanaka family has been loyal to the Nizi family for generations, and the loyal ministers are not the two masters, and the revival of the Nizi family is a long-cherished wish, even if it is a death, it is not hesitation. ”

Seven difficulties and eight bitter deer nosuke is really not just talking! Shengxin pointed to the dead tree in the courtyard and asked:

"The trunk of the dead tree is dead, and no matter how much the leaves do not want to be separated, what is the point of them withering and hanging on the branches?"

Kanosuke obviously disagreed with Katsushin's opinion, and he said with a firm gaze:

"As long as the faith in the heart is firm, the withered tree may not fail to sprout new shoots; There will be new leaves to replace the dead leaves, and those dead leaves will leave willingly; Moreover, in the body of His Highness, I see the future of the Nizi family, and for this future, the life of the lower is no longer important. ”

Katsushin looks at the deer nosuke who is so persistent and determined, if he retreats, is it still the loyal and righteous Kanosuke? Even a retainer can do this, as a nun's enduring bloodline, does he still have to retreat? At this moment, Shengxin was a little relieved.

"Do you really want me to inherit the name of the Nizi family?"

Katsunosuke's gaze seemed to see through Kanosuke, and Kanosuke met Katsune's gaze and replied in an unusually firm tone:

"The sun and the moon can be seen! We need Your Highness, and we will destroy the Maori family with our own hands. ”

People must always have something to pursue in life, and it is obvious that the re-revival of the Nizi family has become the meaning of Kanosuke's life, and he doesn't care about fame and fortune anymore.

Katsushin looked at Shikanosuke's sincere appearance, and he could feel that Shikanosuke was sincere;

For these former retainers, their allegiance is to the banner of the Na Ni family, not to a certain person; But what does it matter! This is the commonality of the genealogy of the retainers of this era, if you are not capable, you will push a capable one, and if you are too strong, you will push a good one, the lord of flowing water, and the old man of the iron fight;

The retainers have their own families that they want to protect, and this is also the reason why this family can last for a long time, and those Sengoku daimyo who were forcibly gathered by personal charm or force will inevitably fall apart after their personal death.

"Gather everyone! Let's go up. ”

"From... Raising troops? ”

Shikanosuke went from being stunned at the beginning to being delighted, and His Highness finally figured it out...... He felt like crying for a while.

After Katsushin finished speaking, he ignored Shikanosuke, walked into the room alone, knelt in front of the portrait of King Fudo Ming and folded his hands:

"Fudo Ming King, did the disciple do the right thing? I don't want to run away anymore, the decades-old feud between the Maori family and the Niko family will be settled in my hands! Even if you die nine times here, you will have no regrets. ”

Kanosuke shuttled through the road as fast as he could, and he could be sure that he hadn't run at the same speed as he was now, except for the first time.

He pushed open the door of the foothold of Tachihara Kuzuna and others, and there were no less than thirty ronins in the chaotic courtyard like a shelter, all of whom were old ministers of Nizi who had been summoned by Tachihara Kuzuna and others for more than a month, and there were still many people who could not be contacted for the time being, otherwise it would be easy for the hundred cavalry warriors to get together; This is the essence of being the former hegemon of the Western Kingdom.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at Shikanosuke in confusion and panicked, only to hear Shianosuke shouting excitedly:

"Your Highness wants me to wait for the army to be raised, and the army is raised."

Oh!

In a burst of exclamations, everyone stood up excitedly, and sure enough, they didn't come so far to Kyoto in vain, rather than die in obscurity, it is better to fight to the death with the Maori family.

Tachihara Kuzuna walked out from within, and he rushed forward and hugged Kanosuke's shoulder:

"Has Your Highness promised to return the vulgarity?"

"Hmm!"

Shikanosuke nodded with joy: "Your Highness... Let me gather everyone and we're going to go. ”

"Troops! Troops! ”

The cheers in the courtyard came and went, and they had no backbone, like scattered wild dogs, without any threat, and now they finally waited for the banner that could unite them.

An old samurai with gray hair and a scruffy beard was so excited when he saw these young men at this time, he really didn't know what to do:

"Liyuan Palace, although His Royal Highness is willing to lead us and others now, but the matter of raising troops still needs to be considered in the long run, and you must not act recklessly, and bury the last essence of the family in vain!"

"The main hall of Ushio Dan is extremely true, it is necessary to understand the movements of the Maori family and various forces first."

Shikanosuke suddenly spoke: "Why don't I just play the banner of the Niko family in Kyoto and continue to gather people, and there will definitely be samurai from Izumo, Hakuki, Inaba and other countries." ”

"What is the goal of Shikasuke and I?"

Faced with Tachihara Hisatsune's inquiry, Shikanosuke replied with some puzzlement:

"Go back to Geta Castle in Gassan and rebuild the Niko family."

"Isn't it true that they are asking for a long way to come to Kyoto? And at present, we do not know how many of the people in these countries still have their hearts towards the Nizi family. ”

Shikanosuke understood what Kuzuna meant, but he was thinking too simply.

"Lusuke, you're too straight, just and easy to break!"

Tachihara Kuzuna patted Shikanosuke on the shoulder, and then said loudly to everyone:

"Since His Royal Highness has decided to raise troops, our retainers should follow, and the three of you, Ietada, Yojiro, and Matagoro, immediately sneak back to Izumo and tell Akigami Nobuyi about our army, and let him secretly win over the people of the country who have their hearts towards Niko together with Sonobu."

"Oh! I'll leave at once. ”

Mitoya Ietada, Hino Matachiro, Nakai and Jiro did not delay for a moment, and hurriedly began to pack their things and leave.

Tachihara Hisatsuna said to Yazaburo Habaya again: "Please use the power of the Rya Group to find out the movements of the Mori family, as well as the military garrison in Izumo, Iwami, Inaba and other places, please!" ”

"Oh, the Luxia group will go all out."

Yazaburo also took his subordinates and hurriedly went out to find an informant and assign tasks.

"The others pack up and follow me to see His Highness and renew my oath."

"Oh!"

All the people's high promises swept away the decadence of the previous aimless wandering, and once people have hope, they will burst out with great power.

Tachihara Kuzuna pulled over Shikanosuke and whispered:

"I can't get back to Izumo smoothly with the strength of our waiting, so I thought of a plan, but I still need the consent of His Highness."

Then he whispered in Shikanosuke's ear, and Shikanosuke's eyes widened:

"This ...... But the princess of the famous family of Masan? I can't fathom His Highness's temperament, I'm afraid I won't be able to be his master! ”

"So I still need you and me to persuade Your Highness together, all for the sake of reviving the Nizi family."

Alas~

Shikanosuke has a headache, you can just say it yourself, why do you have to pull me.
