The quilt completely covered Nagao Weijing's head. Axue had an expressionless face and held the crying old man down with both hands.
The moonlight outside the window was bright, but there were rustling sounds in the bedroom.
Just like that, the movements of the two people seemed to be frozen, and the only thing left was the slow passage of time.
ten seconds.
The crying stopped.
Twenty seconds.
The struggling sound subsided.
Forty seconds.
All was quiet.
Then a foul smell spread throughout the room.
Dirty urine was slowly leaking out of Changwei Weijing's lower body.
The yellow droplets quickly soaked the bed.
This arrogant Warring States daimyo was easily killed by the child Axue by covering him with a quilt when he was terminally ill in his later years.
"...You wouldn't have died so early."
Axue loosened the quilt and spoke to the old man's body.
"You should have lived until this winter, and died in winter. Your death would have announced the rebellion of the Yueyangbei people, and the entire Echigo Province would have been in civil strife."
"So at this moment, the sooner you die, the better it will be for Echigo Country."
The child in black lowered his eyes and sighed at Nagao Weijing's body.
"If you truly love your child, then be willing to die now. That way, you won't have to witness the hell that follows."
"So be happy, Lord Weijing."
"You died to save more people. Your death is valuable."
Then Axue's face turned cold and she spoke.
"Duan Zang, how are things going outside?"
"The relevant personnel have been dealt with by me, Duan Zang. No one will know that the person who came to the bedroom today was Lord Axue!"
"Have you found the suicide note?"
Kato Danzo nodded and replied.
"I found it. It clearly says that the heir to the position of family head is Nagao Harukage!"
"Change it and replace it with Senior Brother's name."
After instructing Kato Danzo to do these things, Axue suddenly asked.
"Danzo, tell me...why did Nagao Weijing choose to have a secret conversation with me tonight? And at this late hour when so few people would know about it?"
"Danzo doesn't understand. Perhaps Nagao Tamekage has his own ideas."
Kato Danzo shook his head and answered.
"...So you're testing me."
Axue finally realized what was going on. He stared at Nagao Weijing's body with his eyes that could not see anything, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"So that crying expression from earlier was all your acting, Nagao Tamekage?"
"Only by conquering the weak can one seize power and status. You never test your own children on this point, but you're testing me tonight?"
Nagao Weikage is definitely not the kind of person with blurry eyesight.
At this moment, Axue finally understood his behavior tonight.
After the paddy fields were built, as long as the famine problem was solved, no one would be able to stop the Torachiyo faction from inheriting the position of family head.
It was impossible for Nagao Tamekage to take back the promise he made at the family meeting, because this was sufficient reason to launch the Xuanwu Gate Incident.
So he specially called Axue over tonight and had her cry in public in front of him.
If I were to be soft-hearted and believe Nagao Tamekage, then Nagao Harukage would still be the successor to the family headship, and I could persuade my senior brother to become the shogun.
If he were to leave without any emotion, the future of the Tiger Chiyo faction might be the purge initiated by this old man.
Undoubtedly, Nagao Weijing also left a third way for Axue.
That is to launch a surprise attack just like he did before.
Only by killing the lord can you have true freedom.
Nagao Tamekage did not test his two children, but instead passed on the path of iron and blood to the holy monk Asue.
This also means...
This old man wants to use his own life to test Axue to see if he is the savior who can save Echigo.
"I'm not a traitor like you..."
The child in black sighed.
"You, it seems you made the wrong bet..."
Chapter 3000: Prime Minister in Black ( words)
【Nagao Tamekage is dead.】
This Warring States daimyo, who suffered greatly from illness in his later years, died quietly on an ordinary night.
[Though anyone with a discerning eye could already see that this treacherous hero of the Warring States Period did not die of old age, but rather of suffocation.]
However, the people who discovered the body kept silent and did not make any public announcement. Instead, they followed Nagao Tamekage's will and began to handle the funeral.
【According to the will, the position of head of the Nagao family will be passed to the fourth son, Torachiyo.】
[Faced with this reasonable yet unexpected decision, Nagao Harukage clearly couldn't accept it. He questioned the inexplicable mystery surrounding Nagao Tamekage's death and concluded that the suicide note had been tampered with without authorization!]
However, Home Minister Naoesuke Minoru sided with the Torachiyo faction. After his examination, he found that the suicide note showed no signs of modification and was consistent with everything Nagao Tamekage had promised at the family meeting before his death.
[So, in the 11th year of Tenbun, Torachiyo came of age, changed his name to Nagao Kagetora, and inherited the position of family head.]
[And just as previously predicted, after hearing of Nagao Tamekage's death, the Shimoyue Yangbei people were the first to rebel!]
[However, unlike the previous life, this time, the response from the Yueyangbei crowd was minimal, completely different from the previous scale.]
"Two-thirds of the Yangbei nobles have already received your bribes. On behalf of Nagao Kagetora, you promised the Shimoetsu region the privilege of tax exemption. From now on, the Yangbei people of Shimoetsu will no longer have to pay taxes."
As for the remaining one-third of the Xiayue Yangbei people who still chose to rebel, they were ambushed by a large number of ambushing troops as soon as they left the city gate!
[As if someone had anticipated their rebellion, these frontier soldiers had been lying in ambush for a long time!]
【Since then, there has been no more rebellion in the Shimoyue region.】
[As soon as Nagao Kagetora took the position of family head, he gave Echigo Province a perfect answer! ]
However, everyone knew that behind the head of the Nagao family was a black-robed monk who not only solved the famine problem in Echigo Province, but also had a keen sense of politics.
[Over time, you are honored by others as the Black-robed Prime Minister.]
"The Prime Minister in Black?"
Lind couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he watched the simulation unfold.
"I didn't expect that in my previous life I was called the White-robed Shura, but in this life I'm called the Black-robed Prime Minister?"
Linde had never expected this.
In his previous life, Axue was an evil monk who broke his destined death and performed his last dance in Kyoto.
In this life, Axue is a holy monk who successfully changes the future in Echigo and allows his senior brother to inherit the family heir.
Moreover, compared with his previous life, the degree of evilness of Nagao Kagetora seems to have approached zero.
Although Linde himself did not know how Nagao Kagetora grew up during the Linsen Temple fire in his previous life, and how he eventually turned evil and degenerated into an emotionless killing machine.
But in this life, it is obvious that Nagao Kagetora is more like a human than in the previous life. As expected, this senior brother desperately needs Axue's guidance. If no one teaches her to be good, then Nagao Kagetora will naturally be swept up by his family and the world and become a mindless and ruthless executioner.
"...But since ancient times, whitewashing has always been three points weaker, right?"
Lind blinked, expressing his doubts.
The final BOSS in the previous life was senior brother Torachiyo. To put it bluntly, his combat power index was already the strongest heroic spirit during the Industrial Revolution.
Infinite martial arts, the Dharma of heaven and earth, the ultimate weapon...
If Axue had not finally attained enlightenment in the realm of emptiness and evolved the golden wind-controlling swordsmanship into a colorful talent, she would probably not be a match for the blackened Nagao Kagetora.
This second round is simple, directly pulling the final boss of the previous round as a teammate, but the most direct impact of changing the plot is -
This senior brother has no chance to level up at all?
Even though Nagao Kagetora is the reincarnated war god of Bishamonten, he still has to go through a process of growth, right?
Who can reach the maximum level right away?
In his previous life, Nagao Kagetora mistakenly thought that the simulated self had died, and then he went crazy and became a madman, killing people crazily on the battlefield and carrying out a series of massacres.
In this life, he didn't even get to play the Xiayue Yangbei copy. He was just farming and was suddenly parachuted into the position of head of the Nagao family.
In his previous life, Nagao Kagetora was a man of many murderers, and he earned a reputation as the greatest man in the Warring States Period. Everyone had to kowtow to him and call him father.
In this life, Nagao Kagetora just lies around and lies. Since he returned to secular life, he has been drooling at Axue all day long, like a vase.
Isn't this just three points of weakness? !
This guy has transformed directly from a saber-toothed tiger into Garfield!
Lind began to have doubts.
No, buddy, do you still know the [Biten Eight Phases Chariot Hanging Formation]? Have you unlocked it?
Have you forgotten your Dharmadhatu Heaven and Earth? Can you still summon Bishamonten?
Apart from changing his job to a farmer and adding some agricultural skills, it seems that senior brother Torachiyo has not improved at all?
Linde's scalp was tingling.
Don’t tell me that you are the one who destroys the world in the plot, but as soon as you draw a card from the pool, you find out that there is a constellation system?
To reach full life, you need to collect all of Axue’s corpse parts, right?
"But it's okay. At least the boss was finally recruited. I shouldn't have to fight with my brother in this life..."
What worries Lind even more now is his own mental state in the simulation.
There has to be a Lich King, right?
Why didn’t Nagao Kagetora turn evil this week?
There is no such thing as a peaceful life. It’s just that someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward!
Is Axue going to turn evil this week?
Why does it feel like the blackening bar is already loading???
Is it so stressful to play a Echigo dungeon?
Now that there's no clear enemy, you start to feel mentally drained, right?
The bandits in this village were killed, and the Changwei Weijing who was about to be killed was also killed.
Last episode, he was recognized by Sengo Muramasa and became the Partner of Justice 2.0.
This round is the Emiya Kiritsugu simulator, right? Will I have to kill a thousand people for ten thousand people?
Linde was trembling with fear.
It turns out that I didn’t draw any duplicate cards, so there really needs to be a new card this round.
Don't get close to the Echigo Nagao family, or you'll be in trouble!
Where is Miyamoto Musashi? Where did Musashi go?
Help quickly!!!
