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

Chapter 249 Battle Spirit
Uesugi Kagetora immediately closed his eyes in slight pain: "Kagetsuna-sama, it was me who harmed you."

Nagao Masaki once betrayed her, but she finally chose to forgive him because by chance, her sister Aya had already married him.

She originally thought that this forgiveness would make the other party loyal, but she didn't expect that not only would her sister's post-marriage situation become even more pessimistic, but the other party would also have unrealistic expectations for her.

She originally tolerated him reluctantly because he was her sister's husband after all, and although he was rebellious, he did not show any obvious signs of rebellion again.

But he didn't expect that his compassion would cost Mr. Jing Gang his life. This lesson was too painful for him!
After a few breaths, she opened her eyes again. In addition to grief, there was more anger in her eyes: "Aling, I can no longer tolerate Nagao Masaki's evil deeds. He must pay for Master Jinggang's death." cost!"

Ayahime immediately nodded decisively: "Torachiyo, go ahead, I'm tired of that stupid man already, let him be buried with Kagetsuna-sama!"

She can tolerate her incompetent, stupid and greedy husband, but she can't tolerate him having unrealistic fantasies about her sister, let alone destroying the Uesugi family that Torachiyo worked hard to maintain!

Uesugi Teruhora nodded again, then suddenly turned to look at Asai Nagamasa: "I'm sorry, Nagamasa, for putting you in this situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you properly."

Asai Nagamasa shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I am very interested in the rotten corpses and skeletons you just mentioned."

Among the many monsters that have appeared in Nibon, zombies and skeletons are undoubtedly the lower-level monsters with the lowest combat power. An ordinary ashigaru can deal with one or two monsters after giving up fear, or even if they cannot defeat them, they can easily do so. Run away.

So Uesugi Teruhu and her sister Ayahime both thought it was just some kind of lie and excuse, which was also very reasonable.

But he didn't think so, because the Uesugi's house was next door to the Hida Kingdom, and it was very likely that someone among them had obtained the inheritance of Yilong's spell.

The two families had already shown clear hostility before, so the rat people carried out large-scale massacres at the border. So, is it normal for the people of Hida Country to conduct experiments on the Uesugi family's citizens?

They also look like zombies, but there is still a big difference in the combat capabilities between real zombies, Shikijiro and ghouls.

Moreover, Nagao Masaki's rebellion is also very abnormal, not only because it is winter and it is inconvenient to do anything, but also because he has failed once before and was easily suppressed by Uesugi Teruhora, all thanks to him and Aya Ji's relationship can save his life, so why is he so bold now?

Does he really have someone to rely on, or does he have reinforcements?For example, the Takeda family has not had much movement so far.
"Is that so?"

Uesugi Terutora's expression changed, and she also felt that there might be something unusual. After all, she is the governor of the Uesugi family, and her wisdom and talent are far superior to ordinary people.

After nodding slightly, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't introduced him to him yet.

"Nagamasa, this is my compatriot sister, Aya."

Ayahime also quickly bowed to Asai Nagamasa. Although she had seen him behind the screen before, this should be their first official meeting. However, she was just worried about Naoe Keizuna, so she acted a little rude. .

But now that his identity has been exposed, the test he decided before may have come to nothing.

Asai Nagamasa responded with a smile. He was not completely unfamiliar with Ayahime. Not only because he had felt her breath lingering behind the screen when he was in Kasugayama Castle before, but also because he had heard a little bit about her experiences. The key lies in her husband Nagao Masaki.

He was obviously married to the daimyo's sister and had an extraordinary status in the Uesugi family, but he was so stupid that he was rebellious and was easily defeated. He even had to pray to the ground and barely survived.

He has no ambition, but no strength or wisdom, and he doesn't even have any allies. Such fools are relatively rare in the entire Nibon.

Maybe this second rebellion will be a little different?

Soon everyone returned to Kasugayama Castle. On the way, they also learned that while they were staying in the valley, several days had actually passed outside, and the flow of time in the two places was not the same.

When he saw dozens of corpses in the courtyard, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but his expression changed.

He saw dozens of translucent shadows wearing armor and holding weapons, which were their unwilling souls. However, they all seemed to be confused at this time, their eyes were unfocused, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

There were obviously some warriors and attendants a few meters away, but they just stayed next to his body, motionless, staring into the void.

Will this be the subsequent impact of the Netherworld Rebellion?

"Hui Hu, can you let me check the body?"

Uesugi Teruhu glanced at him and knew that he was definitely not speaking casually, so she nodded in agreement and walked to the other samurai, ready to learn the details.

Although it was already winter, which was not conducive to sending troops, she still had to make the despicable Nagao Masaki pay the price!

Asai Nagamasa carefully inspected it and found that in addition to the wounds from swords and guns, they also had some marks from claws and teeth, and most of the wounds were green and black. Although it was a bit weaker than Shikijiro's poison, it was indeed poisonous.

It's a pity that most of these bites are not fatal, because they can't even penetrate the armor of the warriors. Most of the claw marks are on the places where the warriors are not covered by the armor. It is the swords that are really fatal.

As Ayahime said before, this must have something to do with Nagao Masaki. The security in the Uesugi family's territory is still very good, and it is impossible for bandits to attack them.

Glancing at Uesugi Kagetora, who was still discussing anxiously with many retainers, Asai Nagamasa had a thought in his mind, and the platycodon seal immediately lit up, and then a spiritual body that was originally illusory and confused quickly turned into reality and became reality. It has to be seen by ordinary people.

The other warriors who felt the light also turned their heads, and then they were shocked to find a bright white figure floating on the ground. It looked like it was Naoe Keizuna who they were mourning!
Terutor Uesugi was also a little surprised, but she was more surprised: "Master Jing Gang!"

Following her cry, the originally confused spirit suddenly became excited. He turned his head and looked at Uesugi Teruhu: "My lord, I..."

While talking, he looked around, because he remembered that he had encountered a battle in the wild just now, why did he suddenly return to the city?
Then his eyes fell on his scarred body.

His pupils suddenly shrank involuntarily, and looking at his body that was emitting a faint light, and Asai Nagamasa who was looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but sigh, and he roughly understood his situation.

"I see, am I already dead in battle? Thank you, His Highness Nagamasa, for allowing me and my lord to say goodbye in person."

As the most intelligent general in the Uesugi family, second only to military advisor Usami Sadamitsu, his intelligence is naturally higher than that of ordinary people. He immediately realized why he was awakened.

Although the lord also has some special powers, they are basically all about charging and killing on the battlefield. There is no way he can do this except the famous "Dragon of Omi". After all, the opponent is the legendary Onmyoji who can control ghosts and gods.

After a brief moment of shock, Uesugi Teruhora immediately reacted: "Kagetsuna-sama, Kagetora will definitely avenge you. Is the murderer Nagao Masaki?"

Naoe Keizuna sighed: "My Lord, I don't know Keizuna. He just sent a letter saying that there are monsters raging in the territory and he wants to negotiate with me."

"I didn't expect that I would actually be attacked by monsters on the road. What I didn't expect was that some wild samurai would also attack us."

"As for whether it is Nagao Masaki, Keizuna cannot be sure yet."

At least in his memory, he did not see the other party's figure.

But he immediately changed his voice: "But my lord, Nagao Masaki is extremely suspicious. I suspect that he is preparing for a second rebellion, so I went to Sakado Castle in person. Unfortunately, an accident happened on the way and I was unable to truly Sure."

"My lord has spared him once. If he still rebels this time and is forgiven again, I'm afraid he will rebel a third time."

Although his death was most likely because of the other party, his words did not contain any personal emotions at all. He was purely thinking about the great cause of his lord.

The military advisor next to him, Usami Sadamitsu, couldn't help but sigh: "Kagetsuna-sama, Nagao Masaki has indeed rebelled again." Although there are still some specific details that are not clear, he should actually thank Naoe Keizuna, because if not If the other party decided to go, he might be the one who died in the battle. Within a few days of the lord's disappearance, few of them were qualified to go to Sakado Castle to confirm this matter. After all, the other party was still the lord's brother-in-law.

Terutora Uesugi couldn't help but be silent for a few breaths, and then nodded vigorously: "Leave it to me, Master Kaizuna, I will definitely avenge you, and you can go to Paradise with peace of mind."

Naoe Keizuna nodded with satisfaction, but in fact he was still a little worried, so he turned to look at Asai Nagamasa.

"Nagamasa-sama, my lord has a simple mind. If possible, I hope you can take more care of him. If our family can form a further alliance with the Asai family, maybe the entire Nippon will change."

In fact, given his identity and status, it is not particularly appropriate to say these words, but who has made him a dead ghost?So what if he said so, he does think about his family anyway!

Although he didn't say it clearly, no one here was a fool. Of course they knew what this further refers to, and it was only the marriage contract.

Asai Nagamasa glanced at Uesugi Teruhora, whose face was slightly flushed but did not show any disgust, and then nodded towards Naoe Keizuna: "I have already understood the virtues of Teruhora-sama, and everything he says and does is worthy of 'The Dragon of Echigo', I will try my best."

Naoe Keizuna leaned over to express his thanks again. After glancing at Terutora Uesugi again, he sighed softly. In fact, he still had regrets.

One of his sons was still young, and the other daughter was in infancy. There were not many capable warriors in the family, and they were killed together with him this time. After his death, even if the lord takes care of him, the Naoe family will decline rapidly. Go down?
However, he did not speak again after all. He only bowed to Uesugi Teruhu and Asai Nagamasa again: "In this case, please send me Nagamasa-sama to a blissful life. My lord's kindness can only be repaid in the next life."

Terutora Uesugi was also a little excited when she heard this. In the past many years of war, she had lost many loyal retainers and subordinates, but the other party was undoubtedly the one with the highest status and the deepest feelings for her, and it was also the first time that she had won Such an opportunity to say goodbye.

"Master Jing Gang, please take care, I will take good care of your Naoe family."

One person and one soul said goodbye again, and the minister's expression really touched many people. They all sent words of farewell to Naoe Keizuna, and some of them were so emotional that they cried softly on the spot.

But when the farewell finally came to an end, with Asai Nagamasa's spell, the platycodon seal disappeared in a flash, and Naoe Keetsuna's figure also completely disappeared.

There was a burst of crying all around. Naoe Keetsuna had always been a good old man in the Uesugi family, and he had always been responsible for internal affairs and logistics, so many samurai had a good relationship with him. After his death, most samurai were really sad.

"I'm sorry, Nagamasa, for letting you see this scene. Please take a rest first. I have to deal with some follow-up matters."

Uesugi Teruhora really felt sorry. The alliance was originally a good thing for both families. She even wanted to drink in Kasugayama Castle for three days to celebrate, but now other than such things, it is really inappropriate.

Asai Nagamasa waved his hand: "It's okay. If you need anything, Kagetora, you can just ask."

"Thank you very much, Nagamasa."

Uesugi Teruhu was a little moved when she heard this, but she also made up her mind. No matter what aspect she looked at, Nagao Masaki would never be allowed to go unpunished again!
Later, under the guidance of Ayahime, Asai Nagamasa, Axiu, and Ii Naotora entered their guest rooms. After a few words of instruction, Asai Nagamasa arranged a confusion circle in the room. Then there was a flash of light and he disappeared from the house.

The next moment, he appeared directly in front of the great tengu Iizunasaburo. However, in addition to many tengu, a few meters away from him, there were some samurai with slightly glowing bodies. The leader was not Naoe Keizuna, who else could it be?

This is the special space where he just completed the spell. As the owner, he naturally controls the entrance.

Looking at the slightly commotion of many souls, Asai Nagamasa couldn't help but smile: "Master Keizuna, we meet again."

Although there were still many doubts in his heart, Naoe Keizuna immediately prostrated himself to the ground: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Many souls behind him hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to pay homage with the same great ceremony, because in the past quarter of an hour, they had already roughly understood their current situation.

They died, and now only their souls are left, and they are souls awakened by the "Dragon of Omi".

Asai Nagamasa did not evade, he just accepted the gift quietly, then waved his hand to summon the Bull-headed Demon Bohuang, and showed his ring with the word "Yan" engraved on it.

"The underworld is in chaos, and all ghosts and gods have fallen into demons. I have gained the power of the underworld and want to recreate Yama here. I wonder if you, Jing Gang, can help me?"

Naoe Keizuna was suddenly shocked. Although he had already made many speculations, when he actually heard the truth, he couldn't help but feel shocked for a moment, like a thunder, which shocked his mind completely.

Only the remaining reason drove him to bow deeply again: "I am Naoe Keizuna, I am willing to serve His Highness, and I will never regret it!"

"Haha, very good. In that case, you should be the judge of Youji."

Asai Nagamasa stretched out his hand, and the clothes on Naoe Keizuna changed rapidly. At the same time, his hand sank. In the eyes of an equally shocked samurai a few meters away, he saw a man wearing A majestic young man wearing a judge's uniform and holding a giant writing brush.

That appearance is exactly what he looked like when he was young!

And he is definitely not the shadow just now, but a solid body. He can even feel the weight of his body. If there is a difference, it is probably that he no longer needs to breathe, and there is no breath in his chest. A beating heart and passionate blood.

But this was enough to make him feel happy, because not only did he get a new body, but it was also a body with fewer weaknesses!
He immediately saluted hurriedly: "Yes, Your Highness, I am determined to live up to His Highness's expectations!"

Asai Nagamasa nodded with satisfaction: "Although this place is of great importance and you have important responsibilities and cannot leave without permission, if you have great achievements, I will let you protect the family in the future."

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he then turned to look at the souls of the other warriors: "As for you, are you willing to stay here, temporarily become fighting spirits, and then seek opportunities to become ghost generals and ghosts in the future, or are you willing to go to the real world as souls?" In the underworld, fight with the ghosts in the Netherworld?"

Without any hesitation at all, almost all the warriors immediately bowed deeply: "I am willing to serve His Highness!"

Although they are souls and not human beings, they have gained a second life after all, and they still retain the life of memory.

Although some of them believe in Buddhism and know that they will have the opportunity to be reincarnated after death, but let alone the chaos of the netherworld, even if they successfully go to Huangquan, after experiencing the water of the River of Forgetfulness, who knows that they will become human in the next life. or a dog?

In comparison, it is better to stay in this place, at least to keep a human shape.

Moreover, according to His Highness, if they work hard, they may not be able to go to the present world to protect their descendants!

Asai Nagamasa nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, we will rebuild Netherworld starting today. However, the reincarnation formation has not yet been formed, and there are not enough Netherworld generals and ghost soldiers. Your next task is to recruit more loyal warriors for this place." Warrior souls, we need more fighting souls.”

With another wave of his hand, the souls of all the warriors have changed. They are no longer the original illusory shadows. They have all become warriors wearing black heavy armor. In this special space, he who holds the Ring of Yama is Have such authority.

"As for Keizuna, I heard that Nagao Masaki likes rafting?"

Although he was a little confused, Naoe Keizuna responded immediately: "Yes, Your Highness, Nagao Masaki likes boating, and even more so after drinking."

"Haha, very good. As the Judge of the Netherworld, I will allow you to go and take revenge in person, and at the same time, you can also repay Kagetora's kindness. How about that?"

Whether it was to verify whether Nagao Masakai could control demons, to repay Kagetora's kindness, or to let the new judge and the fighting spirits personally experience their power in this world, Asai Nagamasa felt it was necessary to take some measures. Some measures are just like killing three birds with one stone.

And sending Naoe Keizuna there can also ensure that nothing goes wrong. After all, they are real life-and-death enemies.

Naoe Keizuna was immediately overjoyed: "Yes, thank you Your Highness, Keizuna will help Your Highness and the Lord eliminate this trouble!"

　Tianyuan Yinglong, the vitality is clear, the small one enters the infinite, the large one is the universe, maybe named Gengchen, or Huanglong.
