Soon after, Kuchiki Hide died.
And it was obvious that Kuchiki Hide had miscalculated. This layer of protective clothing for the Kyogoku family was of no use at all. Kuchiki Takazuna was soon bullied at home by his legitimate son Kuchiki Aizuna, Kuchiki Hide's main wife, and others.
In the end, Kuchiki Takazuna, who couldn't bear the humiliation, ran away from home in anger. Kuchiki Aizuna also simply announced that Kuchiki Takazuna was expelled from the Kuchiki family, and they became strangers from then on.
After running away from the Kuchiki family, Takatsuna Kuchiki worked as a ronin, a bandit, and a coolie, all just to make a living. But these are not long-term solutions. Until the chaos in Takashima County, Kuchiki Takatsuna is determined to start from scratch and rely on his own ability to stand out. When the time comes, he will return to Kuchiki Valley as a winner and let those who once ignored him. People who are like this will never be able to climb high again!
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
After Kuchiki Takatsuna went through all the hardships to become a samurai of the new banker, the new banker suffered miserably all the way and was beaten to a pulp by the Asai family. Not only did Kuchiki Takazuna fail to gain any merit on the battlefield, he even almost lost his life twice.
Last month, Tianya Meimasa, the head of the Tianya family under the Asai family, made a surprise attack on Sawamura Castle. Kuchiki Takazuna was also in the city at that time. As the enemy was outnumbered, Sawamura Castle fell quickly. Kuchiki Takatsuna followed a dozen defeated soldiers and fled to Hakotsuyama Castle to survive.
After arriving at Hakotsuyama Castle, Kuchiki Takazuna drank all day long, and he tended to complain a bit when he became depressed after drinking.
No, after getting drunk a few days ago, Kuchiki Takatsuna told his companions everything about his life and death. Almost all of the dozen or so people stationed in Hakokwan Castle were samurai, and Kuchiki Takatsuna's life experience soon became a topic of conversation after dinner.
Kuchiki Takazuna felt as if he had returned to the hated Kuchiki Valley. At this moment, Kuchiki Takazuna wanted to kill all the people who laughed at him with a knife.
But Kuchiki Takatsuna couldn't.
It's not that Kuchiki Takazuna can endure it, but there are so many people around him that he can't defeat him alone!
"Hey, are you the defender of this mountain city?"
Seeing a man opening the door and walking out of Hakotsuyama Castle, Kyogoku Takamasa and others who had just arrived outside the city quickly stopped him.
Kuchiki Takatsuna looked at Kyogoku Takamasa and others who appeared in front of him with a vigilant expression. After standing on tiptoe and looking at the hundreds of people behind Kuchiki Takamasa, Kuchiki Takatsuna suddenly widened his eyes, "You guys Is it from the Takashima family? Or from the Asai family?"
"That's all, it's not important anymore! What's important is, can I join you?"
Kyogoku Takamasa was a little puzzled as to why he and Tianjin met some strange things. The Matsunaga brothers, Yamazaki Hiroyuki, and now another one is here, what the hell is this!
"I'm sorry, we are from the new banker." Kyogoku Takamasa was not willing to reveal the identity of himself and others, so he could only pretend to be the new banker.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Kyogoku Takamasa finished speaking, Kuchiki Takazuna in front of him suddenly took a step back, pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Kyogoku Takamasa, and shouted loudly, "Yes, I am the illegitimate child! So what!"
"As for so many people coming to laugh at me!"
"As a warrior, I also have dignity! Draw your swords, everyone. Today, I, Takazuna Kuchiki, will use my blood to wash away the shame on my body!"
There was a sudden silence
What the hell is this? Kyogoku Takamasa was almost speechless.
Brother, who are you? Are we familiar with each other? You chatter a lot when you come up. I don’t understand the key points!
"Your Excellency, I think you have misunderstood. You and I are strangers. It doesn't have to be like this, it doesn't have to be like this."
Kyogoku Takamasa tried to comfort Kuchiki Takazuna and let him control his emotions, but this was of no use.
"Could it be that you won't even let me die?!"
"It's really abominable, then go die!" As he said that, Kuchiki Takazuna slashed at Kyogoku Takamasa with his sword.
Kyogoku Takamasa was on guard for a long time, but someone was faster than him. Before Kyogoku Takamasa could make a move, a figure had already flashed behind him.
By the time Kyogoku Takamasa turned around, Kuchiki Takazuna had already been thrown to the ground.
"Hmph! You little brat, you still want the life of my lord, you really don't know how to live or die!" Hatayama Nobunobu, as the weakest martial artist among the retainers of Kyogoku Gaomasa, has always had no sense of existence. I finally managed to get some limelight this time, and I felt so happy.
But then again, this guy is really weak!
"Judging from your appearance, you should be a warrior, and you are so young. You are working hard to serve the Lord's family. Why do you look like you are seeking death and survival?"
"If you have any difficulties, please tell me. Maybe I can help you?" Kyogoku Takamasa squatted down and said earnestly.
Unable to leave, and unable to die, Kuchiki Takatsuna suddenly calmed down, and then told Kyogoku Takamasa the complete story of his life experience and his experiences during this period.
Perhaps there was finally someone who could talk to him. Kuchiki Takatsuna clearly felt a lot better after he finished speaking.
After listening to Kuchiki Takatsuna's words, Kyogoku Takamasa looked at Kuchiki Takatsuna with a strange expression, and then laughed and said, "Haha, I didn't expect to be so destined!"
"I have heard my father mention you, Genzaemon Kuchiki of the Kuchiki family!"
"Formal acquaintance, Kyogoku Sakyo Jin Takamasa, Kyogoku Musashi Mamoru is my father! As usual, we are still sworn brothers!" Kyogoku Takamasa smiled knowingly at Kuchiki Takazuna.
Deadwood Outline:
Kyogoku Takahiro is Kuchiki Takatsuna’s black-hatted relative, so it’s true that Kyogoku Takamasa and Kuchiki Takatsuna are sworn brothers.
With the help of Takatsuna Kuchiki, accepting Hakotsu Yamashiro became very simple. All the new Shogun samurai who were stationed here were expelled without exception. Kyogoku Takamasa didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, Kuchiki Takazuna, who was standing on the hillside outside the city, was very happy.
"I didn't expect someone from the Kyogoku family would actually come, and they would come to take over Hakokanyama Castle with a warrant from the lord (Naohiro Shinjo)."
"Well, the person who was sarcastic to me just now suddenly became a loser, and I am standing here as a winner. I am really not used to this sudden change." Looking at the dozen or so people who were driven out of the city in embarrassment The new banker samurai, Kuchiki Takazuna really wants to go and "see each other off ten miles away" to show the "friendship" between them.
Kyogoku Takamasa and others had just arrived, and they had no idea about this place, so they had to rely on Kuchiki Takasuna for everything.
Fortunately, there is still some food piled up in Hakodateyama Castle. Although it is not much, it is enough to sustain Kyogoku Takamasa and others for a few more days.
But before Kyogoku Takamasa and others could get their butts warmed up, someone from the new dealer had already arrived.
Xinzhuang Naochang fell off his horse covered in blood, and the three or four people following him quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Looking back at the arrows stuck on the horse, Xinzhuang Naochang gritted his teeth and said, "Call the door!"
Soon, several ashigaru members of the Kyogoku family helped Shinjo Naomasa and others in and brought them to Kyogoku Takamasa.
"Xinzhuang Zangrenden (Zangren: an official position, similar to the emperor's secretary), aren't you supposed to be with Xinzhuangdian, why are you here?" Looking at the seriously injured Xinzhuang Naomasa, Kyogoku Gao Zheng asked with concern as he ordered someone to get some herbs.
Xinzhuang Naochang opened his mouth and said feebly, "To predict what will happen next, please read the next chapter."
