"Hmph, is it the powerful Lord Ling Tian? Has a person like him actually begun to interfere in worldly disputes?"
Hearing that his son-in-law and subordinate, now the betrayer Inoue Shoichi, revealed the real mastermind behind him with a tone and expression that was almost admiring.
The identity of the mastermind behind the scenes can't help but make Yamamoto Yoshian feel desperate. The only hope left in my heart was extinguished, and I no longer had any extravagant hopes for saving my life.
"But even if I die, the bloodline of the Yamamoto family cannot be cut off, and the Yamamoto family name must be passed down."
Suddenly, this idea emerged in Yamamoto Yoshian's heart, and it grew uncontrollably like a weed, gradually occupying his entire heart.
Now the destruction of the Yamamoto family is unstoppable. Sanmoto Yoshian must die, and so must other relatives of the Yamamoto family. Only in this way can the dojo's control over the entire Sanbon clan territory be truly consolidated.
Yamamoto Yoshian has long been aware of such a cruel reality, and he does not expect anything extravagantly.
However, he still has a hope, a hope that is very possible.
"So what about Kazuko, how do you plan to treat him? She already has your bloodline."
Yamamoto Yoshihiro seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and refused to let go. He prayed to Shoichi Shoichi in a tone that was almost pleading.
"And child… "
Inoue Matsuichi repeated the name in his mouth, and his originally stern expression softened. His eyes were filled with confusion, but his thoughts drifted back to an hour ago.
In Inoue Songyi's room.
The gentle and kind-hearted Kazuko sat quietly in front of her dressing table as usual, constantly combing her smooth black hair. Wearing a green kimono, she exudes a youthful atmosphere.
A squeaking sound.
Inoue Matsuichi, who was dressed in a black samurai uniform, opened their door and walked into the bedroom. He stared directly at Kazuko, silently, his eyes full of complicated thoughts.
"Lord Songyi, you are back!"
Kazuko's gentle voice, which seemed to never change, spoke in a tone of surprise and reached Inoue Shoichi's ears.
This woman has not seen her husband for five full days.
As a girl who is still fifteen or sixteen years old, she is undoubtedly very attached to her husband who is like a hero in her eyes. After being separated for so long, she has longed for him extremely.
But when the girl turned her head and looked at Song Yi with a happy face, she was stunned.
"Matsuichi-kun seems to be a little different from usual. When he comes back, he usually hugs himself immediately and feels his weak body to calm his fatigue outside. But now he uses an almost cold expression. Looking at himself with eyes, could it be that..."
Kazuko thought secretly in her heart, but in the end, she didn't dare to think about it any more and was full of panic.
"I'm back. I only have one thing to do when I come back. After I finish it, I will leave."
Inoue Shoichi's somewhat deep tone reached Kazuko's mind in front of him.
"Really? So what does Matsuichi need to do? Can Kazuko help?"
Hezi forced a smile on his face, but his smile was extremely ugly no matter how you looked at it. The tone also has a harsh feeling, full of unnaturalness.
"You can help. The reason I came back this time is to get something from you. After getting such a thing, I will leave."
Inoue sighed inexplicably. This breath was full of endless sadness and reluctance, which made Kazuko opposite him feel the same, and even felt a little more uncomfortable.
"Really, sir, are you here to end my life, take away my head, and offer a tribute to the mysterious strong man behind you?"
Hezi suddenly smiled. This smile was extremely beautiful and natural, as if everything about her was revealed in this smile.
Opposite her, Inoue Matsuichi's expression changed, becoming a little ugly and a little unbelievable.
"You already knew..."
Song Yi asked.
"Yes, sir. You may hide it deeply and secretly enough, but as your wife, staying with you day and night, how can I not discover the joys and sorrows in your heart?"
Kazuko's smile is very sweet, and the words spoken under this smile are also very gentle, making people feel like spring breeze.
"Then Mr. Ngee Ann and the others also know that my secret has been exposed to everyone's eyes for a long time?"
Inoue Matsuichi asked two questions in succession and looked at the weak woman opposite him with a murderous look.
In his eyes, that woman was no longer the gentle and docile wife she used to be, who often acted coquettishly to him, but a monster who was so smart that he was scared.
"Yes, my father knows about it, and the family has mobilized heavy troops to surround this place. Sir, you'd better leave quickly! Otherwise, after the army is assembled, even with your force, it will be difficult to protect yourself."
With her everlasting smile and her usual gentle tone, Yi and Zi persuaded her husband.
The man opposite him said nothing.
There was a swish sound, and a white light lit up in the room.
Hezi's smiling head fell off, and her gentle eyes and kind smile still hung on her green face.
But the huge gap under the neck and the blood constantly flowing down made this beautiful face look extremely ferocious.
"In this way, the adults will be ruthless enough to kill the box!"
Hezi used his last strength, and before the matter of the severed head finally dissipated, he opened his mouth with great effort, and loosely saw these words from the shape of his mouth.
In an instant, Song Yi understood.
Kazuko never told her father about him, let alone his tribe.
The reason why she said this now was just to make Song Yi strike hard and kill her.
Because Kazuko understands that now that she is pregnant with Song Yi's blood, and the two of them have had a very deep relationship in the past two years, it is impossible for Song Yi to be ruthless and really kill their mother and son.
In order to prevent Song Yi from failing the mission and being punished by the big shot behind him.
Hezi had to sacrifice herself and the child in her belly, as well as her father and all her clan members, in order to fulfill her husband.
The man she loved deeply, the hero in her heart.
Suddenly, a song he had heard countless times sounded in Song Yi's ears. That is a song that Hezi often sings about his wife missing her husband. It has made him feel warm in his heart countless times.
Involuntarily, this extremely strong man couldn't help but shed a tear on his cheek.
In the castle tower, when Matsuichi threw out the package in his arms and exposed the head inside, Yamamoto Yoshian was completely desperate.
Then this member of the Yamamoto family took out his ribs from his arms, stabbed his abdomen fiercely, stirred it twice, and slashed along the cross marks. Black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, completely 's dead.
Song Yi, on the other hand, watched all this quietly without any hindrance.
It was as if his heart was as hard as stone, and nothing could make him feel sad, not even the slightest bit sad.
I originally wanted to write about the helplessness and pain of being a child in troubled times, but it took me so long to write it, and it took me an hour. After all, I still copied the cat and painted the tiger, which is rare and profound.
However, if we are in troubled times, many people will be like Shoichi and Kazuko, unable to help themselves, but they will have their own persistence in their hearts.
But what I fear more is endless sorrow and endless suffering, far more than the two of them.
