"Wait!"

Soji Tsugawa stopped Jinshang Shengbei, who was about to leave, at this time, "Don't be angry, Lord Jinshang!" ”

"The words of the family's aptitude are also for the sake of the covenant, after all, there are still betrayals and rebellions between in-laws, let alone alliances? If you don't want to hand over a proton, why don't you change it to a general hostage? Soharu Tsugawa pretended to have something to discuss.

"It's ridiculous!" After hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, Jin Shang Shengbei became even more annoyed, "The hostage matter should not be discussed again, if the Tsugawa family sincerely forms an alliance, the two sides can exchange protons, and there is no need to talk about it!" ”

"In that case, let this matter be put aside for the time being!" Soji Tsugawa said with a regretful face.

Jin Shang Shengbei said without hesitation, "Just give up, such a bandit act is really an eye-opener!" ”

"By the way, it is rumored that one of the retainers in the entourage of Lord Kinjo is from the Aizutsugawa family?" Soharu Tsugawa abruptly changed the subject.

Although I don't know why Soji Tsugawa suddenly mentioned this, Kim Kamimori still replied truthfully, "But there is such a thing!" ”

"In Shimotsugawa Shengzong, I've seen Tsugawa Hall!" At this time, Tsugawa Shengzong, who was sitting behind Jin Shang Shengbei, hurriedly saluted.

Tsugawa Soji nodded, "Some days ago, Tianjin Chuan Xiuzong, Tsugawa Guangzong and others have already left their own family, Sheng Zong, since you are from the Aizu Tsuchuan family, have you ever thought about working for this family?" ”

“？？？” Tsugawa Soji's words made Tsugawa Mori and Jin Shang Shengbei and the others stunned instantly, especially Jin Shang Shengbei, who was even more confused. I wipe, digging the foot of the wall in my way?

"What do you mean by this?" Jin Shang Shengbei said without changing his face at this time, "Sheng Zong is a retainer of his own family, and Lord Tsugawa seems to be rude to behave like this in front of him, right?" ”

"Haha!" Tsugawa Soji laughed loudly, and did not take care of Jin Shang Shengbei, but continued to say to Tsugawa Shengzong, "The family just thought that the Aizu branch of the family was so mixed up, and it was only three hundred stone Zhixing, and I was just emotional. If Sheng Zong intends to go out of his own family, the family is willing to greet him with knowledge and action, I don't know what Sheng Zong's intentions are? ”

"This ....." Hearing this, Tsugawa Morimune hesitated.

That's not how the script is written, is it?

In fact, Tsugawa Morimune, Tsugawa Hidemune and others had already decided to leave the Tsugawa family from the Kagami family to the Shizugawa family, and let the Aizu family and the Senhoku family reunite, but they didn't expect Tsugawa Soji to make such a request on such a formal occasion. How does this make Tsugawa Shengmune?

Originally, Tsugawa Morimune thought that after this envoy took Axiu and took the opportunity to send it to Ueno Castle, he would return to the territory and send the remaining family members of the Tsuzugawa family to Ueno Castle. But Tsugawa Soji was so blatantly poaching that he put Tsugawa Morimune on the fire rack and roasted it.

Jin Shang Shengbei's face was gloomy at this time, to be honest, the conditions of Tsugawa Zongzhi are very tempting, Wanshi Zhixing is not a minority, if Tsugawa Shengzong fails to resist the temptation, wouldn't he be very faceless?

After thinking about it again, Tsugawa Shengzong still chose the most secure reply, "Thank you Tsukawa Hall for your kindness, but I don't have any plans to run away from my home, and I'm very sorry for this." ”

Seeing that Tsugawa Morimu had made a decision, Tsugawa Soji suddenly looked disappointed, while Kim Kami Mori frowned and smiled. However, in this smile, how much loneliness and regret there is only Jin Shangshengbei himself knows.

The second negotiation also broke up, and Kim immediately took his leave and prepared to return to Aizu.

Although this envoy Jin Shang Shengbei was simply angry, he finally completed the task assigned to him by the Ashina Mori clan.

......

"Lord, if the family humiliates the retainers of the Ashina family so much today, I'm afraid it will make a bad deal with the Ashina family. This is not good news for the family to attack Mutsu in the future. After Kanagami and the others left, Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Shintoki suddenly said with a melancholy face.

The words that the two of them said before were arranged in advance by Tsugawa Soji, although the two did not agree with Tsugawa Soji's decision, but the two of them did not dare to disobey Tsugawa Soji's order.

Hearing the words of Saigo Kizo and Ogasawara Shintoki, Tsugawa Soji smiled and said, "Do you think that the Ashina family is a fool? The family dared to assert that once the family showed its strategic intentions for Mutsu, the Ashina family would immediately draw a line with the family and join hands with the Date family to defend against the family. ”

"The Covenant? It's just a piece of paper. ”

That's why the family deliberately showed a disdainful attitude towards Mutsu, the purpose of which was to confuse the Ashina family and make the Ashina family think that the family would not attack Mutsu. As a result, the Ashina family and the Date family were suspicious of each other, and the chaotic situation in Mutsu Province continued. And the family took this opportunity to develop the territory with peace of mind. ”

"A chaotic Mutsu country is far more in the interests of our family than a united Mutsu country." Speaking of this, a gleam burst out of Tsugawa Soji's eyes.

.....

Outside Ueno Castle, Jin Shang Shengbei suddenly turned his head to Tsugawa Morimune and said, "Morizong, you can go." ”

"Huh? Where is the lord going down? Tsugawa replied with a puzzled expression.

Jin Shang Shengbei said with a lonely face, "In Ueno Castle before, the family just said that in order to maintain the family name of the Jin Shang family and the Ashina family, in fact, Shengzong, how can you not know your intentions?" ”

"Tsugawa Hiromune, Tsugawa Hidemune and the others left for Ueno Castle long before we left, and the family already knew about it."

"Then how did the lord ......?"

"Why don't you stop them?" Jin Shang Shengbei patted Tsugawa Shengzong on the shoulder, "If you can stop people, can you still stop people's hearts?" ”

"The Tsugawa family has served the family for hundreds of years, although they have no merit, but they have also contributed a lot, and the family still knows it. Today, Tsugawa Soji's words also make sense, and the family has really treated you badly. Jin Shang Shengbei said with emotion, "You brought Ah Xiu to Ueno City, and the family has already guessed your intentions, although the family is also very angry, but the twisted melon is not sweet, not to mention that if there is no protection outside the Numakan City, how can the family have a chance to live?" ”

"Let's go." After speaking, Jin Shang Shengbei rode his war horse and left quickly with Kiyono Matabei and others, leaving the tearful Tsugawa Morimune standing in place. After a long time, Tsugawa Morimune knelt heavily on the ground and saluted in the direction in which Jin Shang Shengbei left, and then got up and walked towards Ueno Castle.

Not far away, Kiyono Matabei said loudly beside Jin Shang Shengbei, "The Aizutsugawa family has been blessed by the lord for generations, and now not only does not want to repay the service, but wants to run away from the house, why should the lord ignore it?" ”

"Guards again, water is impermanent, and people are normal! This family is just leaving a way back for the Jin Shang family! Jin Shang Shengbei said expressionlessly, "Today, the family gave Tsugawa Mori a way to live, and when his Japanese family was down, there was no place to use Tsugawa Morizong!" At that time, you will be able to understand the deep meaning of our family today! ”

After saying that, Jin Shang Shengbei sped up the horse's speed, and Kiyono Youbei and the others also nodded thoughtfully, as if they understood something.
