Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

"Sakurai Kosaburo?" Uesugi thought about it more and shook his head truthfully, "I haven't heard of it."

"But that's right, I left the family 60 years ago, and I haven't heard any news about the family since then." Uesugi Kogure said to Sakurai Kogure, "Sakurai Kosaburo was probably not born 60 years ago. If I knew Your father is even more unreasonable."

Sakurai Kogure just nodded slowly and didn't say much. It seemed that she didn't want to discuss the topic of her father in depth.

But after all, Uesugi Koshi is an old fox who lived decades longer than the girl. No matter how well Sakurai Kogure hid it, Uesugi Koshi could tell at a glance that when the topic of his father was mentioned, it was hidden deep in Sakurai Kogure's eyes. the haze.

Uesugi Yue can probably guess why Sakurai Kogure subconsciously wants to avoid this topic. He has succeeded the head of the Snaki Hachi family. Although it is not long, people in high positions will more or less come into contact with the darkness of the family On the face... that is the darkness that has continued since his time, no, it is a disease, a stubborn disease that has existed in the Snake Qi Ba Family since its birth even longer ago.

Meeting is fate. As an old man who is not used to family practices, although Uesugi Koshi cannot eliminate the contradictions in the family itself, he feels that he needs to untie the knot that has troubled her for a long time for this younger generation of the family that he likes. ... What's more, this girl is very likely to become his daughter-in-law.

"Chishen, who is the head of the Sakurai family now?" Uesugi asked Minamoto, and winked at him quietly.

"It's Sakurai Nanami." Yuan Zhisheng received Uesugi Koshi's eyes and introduced in detail, "Sakurai Nanami is the only female head of the eight families except Erika. She is shrewd and capable, and her voice in the family is very good. Gao... By the way, Patriarch Sakurai is the younger sister of Kosaburo Sakurai mentioned earlier."

So Uesugi Koshi nodded as the current head of the Sakurai Patriarch was Sakurai Kogure's aunt.

"Then what does the Sakurai family think of the demons?" Uesugi Koshi changed the topic.

Yuan Zhisheng paused, his face was a little hesitant.

Demon ghosts have always been a taboo topic, not only in the Sakurai family, but also within the entire Sheqiba family. Almost every family has members defecting to the ghost tribe every year. Different colors are used to indicate their potential threat levels, among which the most threatening is bright and eye-catching red. Once marked red, it means that they have become the enemy of the family... and all members of the ghosts are the highest level red.

This means that once a family member defected to join the ghosts, he would automatically become an enemy of the family, and he would be killed without hesitation!

"Enemy, the Sakurai family regards the fierce ghosts as enemies." Yuan Zhisheng said silently, "It should be said that not only the Sakurai family, but the entire Snake Family also regards the fierce ghosts as their mortal enemies. change position."

Uesugi Yue didn't express any opinion on Yuan Zhisheng's words, he just kept silent, noncommittal.

"But in fact, among the Patriarchs of the Eight Families, Patriarch Sakurai's attitude towards ghosts is relatively not that hostile. Last time I ran into Patriarch Sakurai in the elevator and mentioned the attack on the Bliss Pavilion. When the action was in vain, I could see that Patriarch Sakurai was secretly relieved, and I could see that Patriarch Sakurai still had elder-like feelings for Sakurai Kogure." Yuan Zhisheng paused, "But Kosaburo Sakurai seems to be I didn't think so..."...

"Huh? What did that guy named Kosaburo Sakurai say?" Uesugi Koshi asked.

"Sakurai Kosaburo once told me that he felt...deeply ashamed for having such a daughter who betrayed his family." Yuan Zhisheng cast a dark glance at Sakurai Kogure.

Sakurai Kogure bowed his head in silence, neither joy nor sadness on his face.

"Sakurai Kosaburo told me that he wished he could kill his disloyal and unfilial daughter with a knife, but he hated himself for not having the ability to carry out the death penalty, so he asked me not to show mercy when facing his daughter , there is no need to leave the whole body or collect the body, it is best to use a big fire to burn the body without leaving any trace after killing Sakurai Kogure." Yuan Zhisheng didn't look at Sakurai Kogure's expression when he said these words , "Sakurai Kosaburo's original words are...'Sakurai family has such a daughter, I have no face to face my family members, and I have no face to face my sister who is working hard as the head of the family. Such a daughter, I implore the young master to kill the evil 'ghosts', otherwise, if the evil 'ghosts' are allowed to run rampant, Sakurai Kosaburo can only apologize with death."

Hearing this, Sakurai Kogure remained indifferent, as if it was not her biological father who tried to execute her, but an insignificant passer-by... However, Sakurai Kogure actually pinched her own wrist to stop the trembling of her palm , A fleeting sadness flashed in the depths of her pupils, which meant that the girl's heart must have been stabbed violently by what Yuan Zhisheng had just told her father, but she resisted it, not wishing to be aware.

"Father?" Uesugi Yue shook his head, "According to what you said, that guy named Kosaburo Sakurai is not a thing at all, and such a person is also called father? Don't tarnish the two sacred 'fathers' The wording is fine."

The entire Japanese room fell into silence, and everyone was silent. No one could comment on what Sakurai Kosaburo or Uesugi Koshi said, because no one present had a complete concept of the identity of "father".

Sakurai Kogure needless to say, those extremely hurtful words came from her biological father, Sakurai Kosaburo. Sakurai Kogure defected from the family at the age of 14 and never saw her father again. The relationship with her aunt Sakurai Nanami is not even as deep as that of her aunt, and the brothers Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhinu just met their biological father. Lu Mingfei never sees his father all year round. Chu Zihang Before he had time to understand his father, that man disappeared and has never been heard from. Caesar's father... Caesar always felt that there was no difference between the bastard's life and death.

In other words, in fact, the childhood memories of the people in their room couldn't make up a complete father.

"When I say these words, it seems to be a suspicion of relying on the old to sell the old. In fact, I have not been a father for a long time. His father has been a father for more than 20 years, and he must have more experience than me." Uesugi Yue sighed, "But I I just feel that a father should not treat his children like this, and his family members should not be like this... This family has been sick for a long time, and no matter how many generations the disease changes, it will not be cured, because no generation of patriarchs has really found The root of the disease.”…

"Zhisheng, let me ask you, if we met on the battlefield instead of meeting in front of me today, would you execute Xiaomu's death sentence as her father said?" Uesugi asked Xiang Yuan Zhisheng more.

Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Sakurai Kogure, he nodded slowly after a moment of silence, and answered truthfully: "Yes."

"Yeah, this is in line with the way of the family. The 'ghost' should be killed. This approach is just, and the family has always implemented this kind of justice." Sakurai Kogure, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said softly, "It's really blood. Flowing justice."

"It seems that the family's actions are not up to the dragons and horses of the ghosts to discuss. There are not a few people who have died at the hands of the ghosts over the years. I have investigated you, Sakurai Kogure, and you are carrying at least ten lives on your body! "Yuan Zhisheng said coldly to Sakurai Kogure, "The family is certainly not completely righteous, but at least it has not been reduced to Lai Criticism, a traitor organization like Meng Guizhong who regards human life as nothing."

"Is there no blood debt in the hands of the family? The family is always noble, and the 'ghost' is always humble. We are born with a humble fate, and the dangerous blood is our original sin... The origin of the childish parents That's what you think in your heart, right? In fact, it's no different from my father's thoughts." Sakurai Kogure looked at Yuan Zhisheng calmly, "The fierce ghosts are the enemies of the family, and they were eliminated by the family. This is our position. The question, I can't argue with how the head of the family should deal with it... But what crime does my brother have?"

"Your brother?" Yuan Zhisheng frowned slightly.

"My younger brother's name is Akira Sakurai. You probably haven't heard of this name before, because he is just a negligible little person in the eyes of people like you." Sakurai Kogure said, "My younger brother is 23 years old this year. He was judged as a 'bloodline with potential for runaway' since he was a child, and his color code was yellow until he was 15 years old."

"So Akira Sakurai has been living in the deep mountains. In the college built by the family, there are hard stone walls on all sides. The stone walls are barbed wire with electricity. Akira Sakurai has no freedom and no friends. His world will always be only A square sky." Sakurai Kogure said lightly, "Every year, the family will have law enforcement officers to do a blood test for Akira Sakurai. If it is yellow, he will be determined to be safe. If it is orange, he will be transferred to a stronger one. Prison, if it was red he would have been executed on the spot, and on Akira Sakurai’s 15th birthday, he finally got the green color code for the first time.”

"Green, seeing this beautiful color, Akira Sakurai thought that he had finally ushered in freedom, but what the law enforcement officers said next made him fall into the abyss." Sakurai Kogure said, "The law enforcement officers said that Akira Sakurai has been acting very Well, if he takes the green badge every year, he can be free at the age of 40."

"At 40, that's half a person's life. Akira Sakurai has never left the church in the mountains. At 40, he has nothing to do. Who would want to start a family with him? At 40, he has no relatives, and he hasn't had time yet. He grows old and grows old, can he still keep up with this society?" Sakurai Kogure asked, "Telling him such a thing, what is the difference between killing him?"

"My younger brother was actually killed when he was born, and he was not buried until he was 40 years old. We 'ghosts' are the same. Our freedom and our life have been killed by the family since birth, and now only ours are alive. Resentment, our hatred, our remnants... We are incomplete 'humans' pieced together into fierce ghosts longing for freedom, defined by the family as mortal enemies, all 'ghosts' who should be executed, our relatives See us as a shame, just like my father." Sakurai Kogure stared at Yuan Zhisheng's evil eyes without hesitation, "Dare to ask, my parents, what deprived us of our lives...is our sinful bloodline , or the family’s so-called righteous will?”…

Before Yuan Zhisheng could answer, Sakurai Kogure suddenly stood up and bowed to him: "I've finished my words, if you can see my father, I beg you to relay this on Kogure's behalf... A meaningless guy like me Sorry to bother you all for so long.”

Seeing Sakurai Kogure sitting down again, Minato opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. Although Sakurai Kogure's voice was soft, every question was like a powerful hammer, hitting Yuanzhi hard. Shengyuan's concept of right and wrong is above... Yuan Zhisheng now feels a little stuffy in his chest.

"The girl in Fengjian Liuli is really ruthless. It's the first time I've seen a turtle so aggrieved." Caesar whispered in Chu Zihang's ear.

"Miss Sakurai is quite powerful." Chu Zihang rarely agrees with Caesar.

"Zhisheng, actually I have a question in my heart to ask you." Uesugi Koshiya suddenly said, "If you don't know the truth that Zhinv is not a 'ghost', or if Zhinv is really a 'ghost', you again If you meet him, will you not hesitate to pierce his heart with a knife and kill him?"

Yuan Zhisheng fell into a long silence again, and Uesugi Koshi's question dragged him back to that rainy night, the torrential rain, the long knife that pierced his chest, the lonely and dilapidated dry well, and the face that was as pale as a ghost. Yuan Zhisheng really wanted to say no, because he felt Yuan Zhinv's gaze, which contained the younger brother's hope for his elder brother, as well as the hidden fear... Fear of hearing that sad answer, fear of elder brother Like ten years ago, I will abandon myself in that lonely and hopeless abyss.

But Yuan Zhisheng didn't want to deceive the other party. If his younger brother was really a "ghost", Yuan Zhisheng couldn't say that he would never kill him. He has been a law enforcement officer for so long, and he knows the meaning of "ghost". Once this kind of thing gets out of control, it is no different from a bloodthirsty and dangerous beast. If it was before, Yuan Zhisheng felt that he would still choose righteousness to kill relatives in the end... But what Yuan Zhisheng didn't want to admit but had to admit was that Sakurai Kogure just now His words shook the "justice" in his heart a little.

"If Zhinu is really a 'ghost', I will be very sad. I don't want to kill my brother, but I can't change the fact that he is an extremely evil 'ghost'. Once the bloodline gets out of control, Zhinu will no longer be It's a childish girl, maybe killing him is the only thing I can do for him, this is my brother's decision..." Yuan Zhisheng looked at the lonely looking Yuan Zhinv beside him, and then at Sakurai Kogure , and finally he sighed deeply, "I used to think so."

"Now I'm a little confused. What is the responsibility of the head of the family, what is the justice of the family, and how to cure the family's ailments..." Yuan Zhisheng, who was going to be strong all his life, revealed his helplessness for the first time, "Father, please You enlighten me."
