A samurai who doesn't want to be a daimyo is not a good onmyoji

Chapter 179 Seizing Power
North Omi, Otani Castle.

Listening to the reports from the ninjas around him, Asai Hisamasa, as a daimyo, could not help but frown. Although this was not the first time he had heard various rumors about his son, each time it only made him feel more false. .

Don’t you still know what the son you have raised for more than ten years will be like?

Although he was an excellent samurai, he never had the power to defeat monsters, let alone the money to recruit and train hundreds of ashigaru.

Really, he claims to be a ninja from Koga, but in the end he only comes up with such ridiculous information?

However, the behavior of the retainers has been a bit weird recently. They seem to really believe it. Maybe I should find an opportunity to give them a good beating.

Even though he was the daimyo of the Asai family, they were paying attention to his son all day long. The reason why he endured the humiliation and decided to surrender to the Rokkaku family through marriage was for the continuation of the family?

In this chaotic Warring States era, although I am not capable of leading the Asai family to prosperity, I can only rely on those who are stronger.

However, the Rokkaku family is also very dissatisfied with Shinkuro's performance. Maybe he should write another letter to express his goodwill to them.
Thinking of this, Asai Hisamasa moved his thighs that had become uncomfortable due to sitting for a long time. He wanted to go to the study and start writing a letter.

At this moment, a clear male voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Father, Asai Shinkuro Nagamasa would like to see you."

Asai Hisamasa was immediately surprised. He never expected that his rebellious son would choose to return at this time. Sure enough, he couldn't stand the difficult life outside, right?

But then he couldn't help but feel a lot of anger. He even dared to take it upon himself to refuse the marriage offer from the Rokkaku family, and even named himself Nagamasa Asai. It was really rude. He must be taught a lesson this time. !
Thinking of this, he did not immediately allow the other party to see him, but instead snorted coldly, preparing to give the other party a blow.

"Hmph, Shinkuro, you guy, you still have the face to come back, think about what you have done, do you think it will be something to brag about?"

"Oh? Father, don't you think I've done a good job?"

With a soft sound, without Asai Hisamasa opening a word at all, the wooden door was opened, revealing a young and handsome face behind it.

Asai Hisamasa was slightly surprised, not only because the other party's action was too sudden, but also because he was more complacent. Although he still looked very familiar, the other party seemed to have an inexplicable feeling that he had never felt before. The special temperament I have seen.

It even made Asai Nagamasa feel a little frightened, even a little scared.

Although the other person was smiling, out of some unique intuition, he subconsciously started shouting: "Weian, Sunjiro!"

But after calling out twice in a row, he didn't get any response. Instead, there was an extremely faint smell of blood, and then the breeze blew over.

He was immediately shocked. Although he was an incompetent daimyo, he was born in the chaotic Warring States Period. He certainly knew what this meant. Even though it was midsummer, he felt an unprecedented chill that quickly spread throughout his body.

He stared at his son closely, as if he was sizing up a stranger he had never met before, and said word by word: "Shinkuro, do you want to rebel?"

"Oh? I don't think so."

With a little force, Asai Nagamasa roughly pulled down the entire door, allowing Asai Nagamasa to clearly see the scene in the courtyard outside.

It was a dense crowd of figures.

The three generals of "Umi Akaame": Tsunachika Kaiboku, Kiyosuna Akao, and Yabei Umori;

The family's number one general, Masaru Isono, and the powerful general Naotsune Endo, whom he does not like;

Shigetoshi Ohnoki, Uji Nao Imamura, Uesaka Kobu, Naoyori Shinjo, Naotada Shinjo, Ujitsune Anyoji, Masabai Baisei, Naoyori Nakajima, Sadano Taga, Sasaki Aguchi, Naotaka Nomura, Tsurun Miyabe .
They are all powerful and powerful retainers of the Asai family, and even Asai Ryo, who is a member of the Asai family, and others are among them.

There were also a few strange warriors who seemed to be very difficult to mess with, and brought some well-equipped and seemingly well-trained soldiers, and surrounded the entire courtyard.

And the manpower he could use, the ninjas from Koga, had turned into corpses on the ground, and his personal attendant, Asai Yasuo, a member of the Kenichi clan, had also been tied up by a kunoichi with a wry smile.Even as mediocre and dull as him, he felt fear immediately, and it seemed that the situation was really over.

"Father, it's not for rebellion, but for the prosperity of the Asai family. That's why all the important ministers who are loyal to the family came to persuade you. Please also give me the position of the Asai family's daimyo."

"For the prosperity of our family? What is this if not rebellion? With the strength of our Asai family, how can we resist the general trend of the Rokkaku family? You are talking nonsense!"

Asai Hisamasa made a loud noise, as if he was arguing his case, and seemed to be trying to attract the attention of other important ministers.

But soon his heart sank to the bottom, because all the retainers had no intention of responding to him. They either bowed their heads and bowed, or their eyes were empty and they only looked ahead. What's more, like the warriors in the family who followed Haibei Tsunauchi and Akao Kiyoshizuna stared at him angrily with wide eyes.

All of these seemed to be telling him the same thing.

Asai Hisamasa took a deep breath, forced himself to endure the fear in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "Nagamasa, what exactly do you want to do?"

This was the first time he really acknowledged the name, and it also showed his compromise.

The Wu family values ​​​​the longevity of martial arts, and it lasts for a long time. He has never acknowledged his son's name before.

But Asai Nagamasa just looked at him calmly, looking at this nominal father: "Of course it is for the Asai family, not just for continuation, but also for going further. In the chaotic Warring States Period, we You can only rely on yourself.”

"My ancestor, Ryomasa-sama, started from the wealthy family and established the foundation of the Asai family in Kitaomi. So why not start from me and lead the Asai family to the world?"

Even though his tone and expression were very calm, Asai Hisamasa couldn't help but tremble all over and fell back. He seemed to be speechless.

Seeing his appearance, Hai Chiyu's three generals frowned, many members of the sect even smiled wryly, and even the other important ministers were secretly dissatisfied, but immediately they all turned into rejoicing, because starting today, Sitting in that position will be another person, the wise and powerful young master!
"Father, for the benefit of our Asai family, please give me the power of the Asai family and the position of the head of the family."

"You have worked hard for my Asai family for many years. I will arrange for you to live in seclusion on Takeo Island on Lake Biwa. Please don't refuse my kindness. This is also the intention of many retainers."

Hearing this, the people in the lower sect, Asai Ryochi and others, breathed a sigh of relief. This is why they clearly noticed the commotion, but did not stop it, but instead fueled it, because the young master has already said that he will stay for a long time. Mr. Zheng’s life.

But Asai Hisamasa was still trembling and seemed unable to answer at all. Then he suddenly twitched and fell backwards.

Asai Nagamasa glanced at him, feeling more and more contemptuous in his heart, because he could clearly feel from the other person's breathing and heart beating frequency that the other person was not fainted at all, he was just pretending to be faint.

Maybe for Asai Hisamasa, he can only deal with himself in this way, right?
But if you want to delay it like this, you would be wrong.

So he directly waved his hand and asked several warriors to drag the other party behind, while he looked down at all the retainers from a high position.

"From today on, I, Asai Nagamasa, will officially succeed me as the governor of the Asai family. Do you have any objections?"

Before he finished speaking, his cheap apprentice Miyabe Tsurun was the first to step out of the crowd and fell directly at his feet: "My lord, Miyabe Tsurun, pays homage to the lord!"

Then other important ministers were not to be left behind. Even the three generals such as Kai Akayu bowed to the ground willingly. The surrounding samurai such as Sakon Shima and Yumitsu Numata were no exception. In the end, everyone's voices turned into the same sentence: "My lord. Waiting to meet the lord!"

Asai Nagamasa was not too excited, he just pulled out the Thunder Saber - Xiaolong Jingguang from his waist with a "swish", and under the impetus of mana, the flashing purple Thunder Saber pointed directly at the sky.

"From today on, I, Nagamasa Asai, will succeed me as the governor of the Asai family and inherit the legacy of my ancestor Ryomasa. I will definitely lead everyone to defeat the Rokkaku family. We will no longer be limited to the north and south of Omi. The ambition of my Asai family lies in the entire The world!"

"Yes, I will be shattered to pieces in order to serve my Asai family!"
