Chapter 56: Faith or Loyalty

When the soldiers of the Ichizong clan chased and slashed down more than 30 relatives of the Okubo family, no one noticed in the chaotic battle that more than 30 people in the large army had quietly left, including the three guys who had been in the limelight recently and were good at using iron cannons.

But after all, there are nearly a thousand people in the camp at this time, and they are still in a chaotic strangulation, who will pay attention to the whereabouts of more than 30 people. Of course, even if you want to pay attention at this time, it is still a little difficult because of the large number of people. What's more, the concentric members of the Kuroda family were all born ninjas, and what they are best at is stealth, that is, lying in ambush in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to kill, how can someone see through their whereabouts.

Shortly after Okubo Tadakatsu and Okubo Tadasaku left the castle, shouts of killing were also heard from the direction of Kamiwada Castle.

Originally, after more than 30 people left the castle, the people of the Okubo family stood at the head of the castle as if they were facing a great enemy. However, not long after the night raiding team out of the city went, a team of nearly 2,000 people suddenly appeared outside Kamiwada Castle, and the Okubo family immediately prepared to cage the castle as if they were facing a great enemy.

"What's going on? Could it be that the family's plan to sneak attack these bald donkeys is known to the opponent? Or has the adversary already taken precautions? Tadashi Okubo said to himself.

"Brother, the two children of Okubo Tadashi and Okubo Tadasaku are in danger!" Tadashi Okubo said anxiously.

Okubo Tadashi and Okubo Tadashi are the leaders of the younger generation of the Okubo family, so Okubo Tadashi will be so anxious, if they lose two future talents in this incident at once, it will be a really heavy loss for the Okubo family!

"I can't care so much, Okubo Tadashi and Okubo Tadasaku will ask for more blessings on their own! Now that I am besieged by the enemy, I will resist this wave of attacks first, and then I will prepare for the bow, everyone, prepare for the cage city. Tadashi Okubo said loudly.

But just as Ichijo Sect was about to come to the castle, the gate of Kamiwada Castle was opened from the inside.

"Bastard, what's going on?" Tadashi Okubo was surprised to see the gates opened, and then shouted angrily.

Because the Okubo family doesn't have many men anymore, the main forces are concentrated on the castle walls. After all, the opponent is not prepared to attack the city such as a siege machine, so according to the previous experience of the Okubo family's offensive and defensive operations, it is enough to send four people to guard the city gate, so it is really negligent in protection, but it is also forced by the current situation!

In this way, because the guards at the city gate were too thin, the Kuroda family, who had been infiltrated into Kamiwada Castle, seized the opportunity and instantly burst out, killing the four defenders and smoothly opening the city gate from the inside. And the team of Yixiangzong is not stupid, of course, they will not miss such an opportunity, and when they saw the city gate wide open, they immediately rushed up and rushed into the city along the city gate.

The two samurai, Khesaya Sadaji and Natsume Yoshinobu, who chose to participate in the Issemune this time, rushed to the front of the team at this time as the commanders of the battle. Moreover, under the leadership of the main general, the morale of the sect side was quite high for a while.

As soon as Sadaji Beeya entered the city of the believers, he was extremely brave and stabbed two samurai of the Okubo family, and he was in the limelight for a while.

As he was heading for the Imperial Palace, on the way, he suddenly saw his former colleague Tadashi Okubo. Of course, the Okubo Tadashi who had just killed seven or eight followers of the Ichimun sect also saw him. The two of them were retainers of the Matsudaira family before, and they still knew each other well, and when they met at this time, they didn't start fighting directly.

"Lord Beehouse, the lord has always treated you well, why do you want to rebel against the lord and join the team of the Ichinzong, is this what you should do as a samurai?" Tadashi Okubo asked in a loud voice.

"Lord Okubo, the lord is indeed not thin on Zaixia, but the lord actually disregarded the will of the ancestor lord, openly violated the legitimate rights of the Pure Land Shinshu, and even did such an angry thing as openly robbing the temple of food. Beeya Sadaji also shouted loudly at Okubo Tadashi.

"Lord Beehouse, your statement is really ridiculous, the lord is the person to whom our martial arts should be loyal, not those bald donkeys of the Sect, your fortune is given by the Lord, what benefits can the Sect give you?" Okubo Tadashi immediately retorted that in his opinion, a samurai should be loyal to his lord, and any false religion such as the Pure Land Shinshu should be spurned.

"Okubo-sama, I think you're the most ignorant. The lord gave me a fortune, but what the Pure Land Shinshu gave me was faith. It is true that I have made my life better, but only faith has allowed me to continue to live in the world. It is true that you should be loyal to your lord as a retainer, but as a follower of the Pure Land Shin Sect, you also need to revere your own faith. What the lord did was for the rule of the Matsudaira family's Mikawa country, and what the Pure Land Shinshu worked for was the happiness of all people in the world. So in the next choice, there is no guilt in my heart. However, Lord Okubo, with the current situation, the gate of Kamiwada Castle has been opened, and it is only a matter of time before the city falls, so why not take this opportunity to return to the Pure Land Shinshu Avenue as soon as possible, and also protect the continuation of the Miao character of the Okubo clan. Instead of listening to Okubo, Beeya Sadaiji tried to persuade Okubo to surrender.

"It's really a stubborn person, it's just unreasonable." Okubo's face turned red, and he pointed loudly at Beeya Sadaji.

"Why don't Okubo-sama think about it before making a decision? The life and death of the Okubo clan can be redeemed by adults, and when the time comes, adults will be the benefactors of the Okubo clan, and it will be logical to become the new head of the family! In the end, it seems that Beeya Sadaji is ready to use the conditions of supporting Okubo Tadashi to become the head of the house to induce Okubo Tadashi to comply.

"Bastard, needless to say, in the next from the famous Mikawa Okubo clan, the Okubo family has always been known for its loyalty, so the word of the family will be loyal, so no matter what, it will never be such as Yi and other disloyal and unrighteous people, betray the lord, and take refuge in the bald donkey of the sect." Okubo Tadashi was really angry with the bee house Sadaji this time, and said loudly.

"Okubo old horseman, I respect you as a senior of the Matsudaira family, so I persuade you like this, lest you make a decision about the name of the famous family of Mikawa, since you have spoken such disrespectful words to the Pure Land Shinzong, then you can only offend in the next" Beehouse Sadaji pointed to Okubo Tadashi and said.
