For the Takeda family, this is an absolute shame, their head of the family was killed by an alien mage in his daimyo mansion, and the mage was still surrounded by the Takeda family's soldiers, calmly killed a bloody way out of Chiba Castle and escaped.

Upon hearing the news, the elder of the family who brought Norko and the others back to the Takeda family committed suicide by seppuku almost soon after learning the news, bringing such a terrible disaster to the family for him, he really didn't have the face to live on his own.

If it weren't for the fact that the Takeda family could block the news and be loyal to the Takeda family, I am afraid that under such a huge blow, the Takeda family would fall apart in an instant, and the traditional daimyo family that had been prominent for many years would also be completely declined.

Several elders of the Takeda family and elders with foreign surnames gathered, and all the retainers who were stationed outside the army were recalled, and a secret meeting was held in the residence of the daimyo of the Takeda family, the purpose of which was to solve the various troubles that might occur after the loss of the head of the Takeda family, and also to elect a new head of the family.

Today's Daimyo Mansion is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past, and white cloth is hung inside and outside the entire mansion, and a mourning hall is set up in the main hall, and Takeda Tsuyoshi's body is placed in the mourning hall.

The entire city of Chiba was shrouded in grief and slaughter, and many residents of Chiba Castle closed their doors and hid in their homes, fearing that they would be killed because of their inappropriate words and deeds.

Takeda's youngest son, who was also his favorite youngest son, was pushed to the coffin in a filial piety robe, followed by a woman who was also dressed in mourning clothes.

When she saw the eldest elder of the Takeda family coming to pay respects, the woman in mourning clothes hurriedly greeted her with a mournful face, and Pear Blossom sobbed with tears and said: "Master, you want to call the shots for our orphans and widows, now my lord is being harmed by outsiders, and the family has stayed, but he has not given us orphans and widows a proper title, if you don't give us the masters." I'm afraid that our orphans and widows will die in front of this coffin. ”

Takeda Ji is considered to be Takeda Gang's grandfather in terms of generation, and when he saw the woman's pear blossom with tears, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and wanted to make the decision for the other party's mother and son.

But before he could speak, another family elder came in after him, glanced around with a cold eyebrow, forced the woman back from Takeda Jitong's side, and then said in a deep voice: "What? The head of the family has just passed away, and you can't wait to seize power one by one?"

The person who came was not a man, but the brother of the previous head of the family. That is, Takeda Tsuyoshi's own uncle, Takeda Hidetomi, is the undisputed strongest of the entire Takeda family, and when Takeda Tsuyoshi inherited the position of the daimyo many years ago, he also supported Takeda Tsuyoshi to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family and inherit the position of the daimyo of the Takeda family.

Although Takeda Jitong is higher in generation than Takeda Hidetomi, Takeda Jitong is a child of the side branch of the Takeda family, so although he is also an elder in the family, he is obviously inferior to Takeda Hidechen in terms of discourse.

What's more, Takeda Hidetomi is the first samurai of the Takeda family. It can be said that in the entire Takeda family, no one can speak more than him except Takeda Tsuyoshi.

Seeing Takeda Hidetomi's face frosty, Takeda Jitong hurriedly accompanied the smiling face and said, "Hidechen." As you know, now that the head of the family has died unexpectedly, we always need to do our best to nominate a new one. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the young man kneeling beside the coffin: "Guangxiu is also the favorite son of the head of the family when he was alive, and the head of the family also intends to pass on the position to Guangxiu after a hundred years." So now Miyoko is letting us call the shots for her, can't it be regarded as seizing power, right?"

Hidetomi Takeda glanced at the young man kneeling beside the coffin, and saw that the original young man raised his head to look at the excitement. When he came into contact with his gaze, he immediately lowered his head again, deliberately avoiding his gaze.

Seeing this, Takeda Hidechen said indifferently: "Uncle Ji Tong, you should know very well that when my eldest brother was alive, he had already asked the head of the family to set an heir. ”

Listening to Takeda Hidetomi's words, Takeda Jitong's brows suddenly wrinkled, he naturally knew that the heir to the head of the family had already been decided, but he also knew that Takeda Tsuyoshi didn't like the eldest son, and he usually flattered Takeda Gang, so naturally his relationship with Takeda Koji was not good.

If Koji Takeda succeeds the head of the family, I'm afraid that Takeda Jitong's life will definitely not be easy, and some of his ulterior secrets will not be able to continue to hide.

Thinking of this, Takeda Jitong hurriedly said to Takeda Hidetomi: "Hidetomi, I'm afraid this matter still needs to be discussed, right? Now that the head of the family has suddenly died, and the commander of the Guangji army still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, do we want to let the position of the head of the family remain vacant?"

"What? The position of the head of the family should always be vacant? How can it be done? The so-called 'country cannot be without a king for a day, and the family cannot be without an owner for a day', how can our Takeda family let the position of the head of the family be vacant? Isn't this an obvious opportunity for those miscellaneous people around us?"

Without waiting for Takeda Hidetomi to reply, a rough voice came from outside, and when he heard that voice, Takeda Hidetomi's brows suddenly twisted.

And Takeda Jitong was overjoyed, and hurriedly led the woman and the young man in front of the coffin out of the mourning hall to greet the people outside.

Like the rough voice, the person who came was a big man with a rough face and a beard, this person was the strongest retainer of the Takeda family, and his ancestor was a retainer of the Takeda family.

Among the many retainers of the Takeda family, if you talk about personal strength alone, it must be Takeda Takeshi's strongest strength, and if you talk about the strength in your hands, it is also Takeda Takeshi's strong force.

In the face of Takeda Takeshi, even Takeda Hidetomi, who is known as the first samurai of the Takeda family, can only avoid his edge if he has to bow down.

Therefore, when Takeda was just alive, he almost ignored Takeda Takeshi, and almost all the territory under Takeda Takeshi was governed by Takeda Takeshi, and Takeda Tsuyoshi never even cared about the minimum livelihood of the people.

As for the soldiers in Takeda's hands, Takeda Tsuyoshi is not to use them if he can, unless it is an external war, Takeda Tsuyoshi generally does not use the troops under Takeda Takeshi's command lightly, because he is worried that he will be accidentally calculated by Takeda Takeshi behind his back.

Now that Takeda has just passed away, Takeda Hidetomi originally planned to arrange a qiē, and then concentrate on dealing with Takeda Takeshi.

But what he didn't expect was that Takeda Takeshi actually came as soon as possible, and it seemed that someone had passed the news to him.

Takeda Hidetomi looked at the three people who greeted him, he still understood in his heart, and scolded in his heart: Damn three stupid people, you are not afraid of luring wolves into the house, and if you can't solve Takeda Takeshi when the time comes, you will all be swallowed by him one by one.

"Hahahaha......" With a burst of heroic laughter, Takeda Takeshi stepped into the mourning hall in one step, surrounded by Takeda Jitong and the beautiful woman, and he didn't even take off the saber on his body.

Seeing this, Takeda Hidetomi immediately frowned, the frost on his face became heavier and heavier, and he faintly raised his breath, ready to make a move with Takeda.

When Takeda Takeshi saw Takeda Hidetomi, he immediately greeted him with a smile and affection: "Hahaha, Uncle Hidetomi, it's been a long time, I didn't expect you to be so graceful, uncle, I thought you had already been disarmed and returned to the field, or you had already settled in the ground." ”

Hearing Takeda's unscrupulous words, Takeda Hidetomi's face suddenly became even more ugly, and he was about to make a move like Takeda, but then he thought of being in Takeda Gang's mourning hall.

In the end, he still suppressed his anger and warned Takeda Meng in cold words: "Meng, didn't your father teach you how to speak?

Takeda's expression suddenly became gloomy when he heard this, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and his eyes revealed a fierce light, as if a fierce beast had locked Takeda Hidetomi.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the mourning hall instantly became heavy, the breath between Takeda Hidetomi and Takeda Takeshi was intertwined, and the eyes of both of them revealed a firm killing intent, although no one made a move, but the collision of breath between the two made the entire mourning hall atmosphere extremely depressing.

Takeda Jitong and the beautiful woman who were standing beside Takeda Takeshi were suddenly shocked by the breath that erupted from the two, and the beautiful woman almost fell to the ground with her legs softening.

Since Takeda Jitong didn't fall to the ground, but standing there was just struggling to support, obviously with his strength was not enough to fight against the two powerhouses, Takeda Jitong even vaguely felt that even his own ghosts and gods were trembling.

Takeda Takeshi was the first to speak to Takeda Hidetomi and said: "Uncle Hidetomi, according to the rules set by the ancestors back then, I am also qualified to inherit the position of the daimyo and the head of the family, and now the eldest brother has died suddenly, since he has not left any last words, since the whereabouts of the kid of Koji are also unknown, life and death are uncertain, why don't you let me, the uncle, take charge of the position of the daimyo for him first, and return it to him when he comes back, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Takeda Hidetomi snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Takeda Meng, do you think that if you get a surname, you can decide the affairs of the family at will?

Takeda Hidechen can be described as unceremonious to Takeda Takeshi, and he is tense with Takeda Takeshi at the exit, almost not saving a little face for Takeda Takeshi.

Takeda Meng's face was naturally full of anger, and the aura released was even more majestic, and he faintly wanted to cover up Takeda Hidetomi's posture, and at the same time said in a deep voice: "Uncle Hidechen, you say this, it seems to go against the rules set by the ancestors, right?"

In the face of Takeda Meng's oppression, although Takeda Hidetomi was at a disadvantage in momentum, he was not willing to compromise at all, but mocked: "Takeda Meng, you seem to have forgotten jì, the rule of the ancestors is that you are qualified to inherit the position of the daimyo and the head of the family, provided that there is no heir designated, and that kind of situation does not occur at the moment." ”

"Oh? Uncle Xiuchen is talking about Koji? But where are the Koji people now? I heard that after he led his troops away, he never came back, should we wait for him to come back aimlessly with the position of the head of the family?"

As soon as Takeda Takeshi's words fell, a loud voice suddenly came from outside the mourning hall, and it instantly resounded throughout the entire Daimyo Mansion: "Don't wait, I'm already back." (To be continued......)
