The Muri family was originally a down-and-out samurai family in Harima Province, and life was already close to the poor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause the mother's family borrowed Kuroda's loan shark, it couldn't be repaid normally after it expired, so the young mother's Kobei at the time was sent to Kuroda's house as the principal and interest of the loan. Later, under the training of the Kuroda family, because of his courage in battle, the mother of Kobei, who was born in the same year as Kuroda Zhitaka, was favored by Kuroda Shigetaka and entered the Kuroda family, and has been a retainer until now.

Musato Kobei went from a small ashigaru to an ordinary retainer, and finally became the elder of the Kuroda family, which was something that the young man who was sent to pay off his debts would never have imagined.

It can be said that everything that the mother Kobei is doing now is given by the Kuroda family, so he has always been very grateful to the Kuroda family in his heart, and he has always been grateful to the two generations of the Kuroda family, so he is so loyal to the Kuroda family.

Now Kuroda Shigetaka, who has the grace to support him, has been confirmed to be dying, and his mother Kobei is as sad as his father is about to die.

"Okay Kobei, I'm even more sad than you when I say it. But don't show such an expression, we and other martial artists, since life and death are indifferent, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable things for me, and we should accompany my father with a smile and finish his last journey. Kuroda commanded loudly.

This sentence Kuroda Vocational Duty did not say it to the mother of Kobei alone, but to all the relatives behind him. Kuroda didn't want them to cry and disturb Kuroda Shigetaka's rest, and at the same time hoped that the old man's last time would be happier.

"Hey!" Musato Kobei wiped away her tears, nodded and stood aside, letting everyone in the Kuroda family go first.

When everyone walked to the small courtyard where Kuroda Shigetaka lived, Kuroda Vocational High School saw a small field in front of the courtyard, the old man didn't know what vegetables he planted, and they had broken the ground and sprouted, but their cultivators could no longer see this shiny seedling.

Counting in that room, Kuroda Vocational High School has not been here for two months, and in the past two years, as long as Kuroda Vocational High School is fine, he has to bring his two children over at least once a month to visit his grandfather and his little uncle Rikimaru, who is almost three years old. As a result, for more than two months, everything was wrong, which was really sad.

Inside the house, Koji Takahisa had already taken his family to the side, and he was the first of the Kuroda family to come, and Himeji Castle was originally near Kuriyama Village. On the other side, there is also a monk from the whole sect, who has always guarded the old man's side. In the middle is Kuroda Shigetaka's bed, where the old man lies pale with his eyes closed.

Seeing that Kuroda had arrived, Kotera Takahisa immediately stood up, walked in front of Kuroda Jobaka, and quickly motioned to everyone with his hand not to make a sound.

When he came closer, Koji Takahisa said, "Brother, my father has just fallen asleep, please be quiet, and don't disturb my father's rest." ”

After Kotera Takahisa finished speaking, Kuroda immediately ordered his subordinates to take a few young children out, and as for Genji, who was already ten years old, he stayed behind, and everyone also knelt aside.

It didn't take long for Ite Tomoji to arrive with his own family, and several of his younger children were also entrusted to the subordinates outside, and only his two sons entered the house.

In the middle of the night, Shigetaka Kuroda woke up, and when he saw everyone around him, he knew that the children were coming, and he forced a smile.

He looked at Kuroda first and said, "The four of you are the cornerstone of the Kuroda family, so you must unite so that my Kuroda family can continue to walk, but I am very relieved of the four of you." Speaking of this, Kuroda Shigetaka coughed, and the four brothers except Kuroda Zhitaka only had red eyes, and the other three were directly choked.

"Don't do that, juniors are still counting on you! They are all great characters like the lord of the country, don't be ashamed of this woman's attitude? I have one thing to ask you, Rikimaru is a child born of my old age, and he is not from the same mother as you. I know that the four of you are from the same origin and are close in age, so the relationship has always been very good, but I hope you can treat this minor brother of yours in my face. ”

"Please rest assured, father, my Kuroda family is a united family, Riki can rest assured that you can leave it to us!" Kuroda said.

"That's good, then I'll be relieved."

"Kanbei, Genji, Saburo Zuo, Kichijomaru, Myoharu, Iwata, and Kaiwangmaru are all here." Kuroda Shigetaka said with difficulty.

Kuroda Vocational High School brought a group of juniors from the Kuroda family to Kuroda Shigetaka's hospital bed.

Kuroda Shigetaka took Kuroda's hand with difficulty, smiled at Kuroda Zhigao, coughed twice, and then said in an increasingly low and hoarse voice: "Kankanwei, you are the eldest son of the third generation of my Kuroda family in Himeji Castle, and you are also the most outstanding person in my Kuroda family today, and the future of the Kuroda family is entrusted to you." ”

"Hey! Grandfather, please rest assured, I will continue to work hard for the Kuroda family in the future. Kuroda replied immediately.

"How's the Misaku and Bigo countries doing?" Shigetaka Kuroda asked.

"Grandfather, please rest assured, Misakuni is already in the hands of the family, and as long as the family continues to develop, Misasakaku will be Rikimaru's territory in the future. Bigo Province is also safe, and we have also received two new counties from the Mori family," Kuroda said.

"Hmmm! Kanbei has been a reassuring child since he was a child, but it's just a matter of Misaku and Rikimaru, don't make such a hasty decision. But if Riki is still capable, I still hope that Kankanwei will reward him with a piece of land and let him live well! Kuroda said.

"Please grandfather don't worry, when Rikimaru is a little older in the future, his homework will be tutored by me, and I will definitely do my grandfather's hope." Kuroda replied.

"Hmmm! I believe you, Kanbei, you have always been a good boy, you have been so smart since you were a child, what a gift from God to my Kuroda family! ”

Kuroda Vocational High School remembered that when he was a child, when he first came to this world, it was this old man who worked tirelessly to accompany him to every inch of the Kuroda family, it was this old man who explained to him how to deal with various government affairs, it was the old man who first taught him how to behave, and it was also this old man who taught him to treat the people in the territory well and love the people under his command.
