Yu Qiuping left the assessment room in a reluctant, did not go home, but directly called Amano Keitoku and Naoe Tadahei, and the three of them found a small tent hidden in the barracks and sat down.

"Your Highness," Naoe asked puzzled, "You just came to us after the meeting, but what task has been issued?" ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly. As soon as the meeting was over, his mind was a mess, and he had no ability to think calmly. He didn't want to meet the Imagawa family, he didn't want to be sorry for the kindness of His Royal Highness the Governor and His Royal Highness Sena, and he didn't want to fight against his former partners. Guilt, shame, and the anger and humiliation of being watched by Sazuo Chengzheng made Yu Qiuping have the urge to rebel immediately for a while.

However, since he defected to the Oda family, he has never told anyone about his intention to rebel. Therefore, although everyone was a little dissatisfied with defecting to an enemy like the Oda family, they had no other opinion.

However, if he really wants to rebel, he will never leave these subordinates who were born and died with him, and he will definitely find a way to escape with everyone. However, if you tell everyone about his plan to rebel, especially those with stupid brains and big mouths, it is very likely that the people of the Oda family will notice the clues and affect everyone.

Therefore, as soon as his mind was hot, Yu Qiuping called his most trusted Naoe Tadahei and Amano Keitoku, intending to ask them for advice: whether to take the opportunity to rebel during this expedition.

However, as time passed, Yu Qiuping was blown by the cold wind, and his mind gradually cooled down. He himself realized that his plan for rebellion seemed a bit ridiculous and presumptuous. In front of the army, as a newcomer, he will definitely be monitored and watched. How easy is it to kill Oda Nobunaga in the midst of the army and then retreat? Can he really leave with his subordinates? What about Kaede Imagawa in Kiyoshu Castle Castle Town? The strong motivation from the mood swings just now has gradually subsided, and people have begun to calm down.

So, when Naoe Tadahei asked him if he had a mission, he nodded solemnly, and finally did not say his plan to try to rebel.

"The lord wants us to be stationed at Narumi Castle on October 4th as the vanguard of the whole army," Akihei Akihei repeated Oda Nobunaga's order, "and we must begin to prepare." The auxiliaries may have to be borrowed from the lord, and the tools for transportation should also be planned. The brothers' training has not been frequent lately, and this time is about to be caught, after all, they are about to go to the battlefield. Maybe we'll have to build our own siege engines. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Naoe Tadahei replied, "I'll go and prepare right away." ”

However, Naoe Tadahei did not retreat immediately as usual. Instead, with some worried eyes, he glanced at Yu Qiuping.

"What's wrong? Pro-Guard? Yu Qiuping was a little embarrassed, and pretended to smile easily.

"It's nothing, maybe it's too much," Naoe Tadahei said in a low voice: "I think His Highness's face is not very good." ”

"Haha..."Yu Qiuping laughed dryly, "Maybe I'm too tired." ”

Just when Yu Qiuping was about to get up and leave, Amano Jingde, who had been silent and had a face like water, suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness." His voice was still terrifyingly low, "Dare to ask Your Highness, why don't you call a few Ashigaru generals over for these military affairs?" Instead, do you want to call you down? ”

"Uh..." the corners of Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched, scratched his head, and casually found an excuse to prevaricate: "I didn't see you on the Mid-Autumn Festival before, so I will greet you by the way this time." ”

However, Amano Jingde did not take the stubble, and stared at Yu Qiuping with his crow-like gloomy eyes. Yu Qiuping avoided his gaze and didn't dare to look at him, for fear that his heart would be seen through.

"Your Highness," Amano Keitoku spoke again, "I wonder if Your Highness is stationed in Narumi Castle as a striker, and what is the target of his subsequent actions?" ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Da Gao Cheng." ”

Both Amano Keitoku and Naoe Tadahei were shocked, and before the latter could react, the former immediately glanced vigilantly outside the tent, and then walked outside the tent and looked around. After making sure it was safe, he walked back.

Yu Qiu took two steps back calmly.

As soon as Tianye Jingde spoke, Yu Qiuping tensed.

"Your Highness..."Amano Jingde gently stroked the crow on his shoulder, and the crow's dim yellow eyes stared at Yu Qiuping.

"Can you tell me why Your Highness called me?"

All of a sudden, the tent became smaller.

Yu Qiuping looked at Naoe Tadahei and Amano Jingde, smiled bitterly, and shook his head slightly.

"If Your Highness has anything unspeakable, don't say it, just obey the order."

"If Your Highness has an idea, it's best to tell your subordinates, otherwise you won't be able to react in a hurry."

Naoe Tadahei and Amano Keitoku said almost at the same time.

Yu Qiuping looked at the two loyal subordinates and was speechless for a while. After a long time, he still shook his head and said, "Qinbingwei, Jingde, I absolutely trust you and trust your loyalty." Yuqiu paused, "So you don't have to suspect that I am hiding something from you." ”

"I don't want to say... It's just because I haven't thought about it myself. ”

·

After Yu Qiuping said goodbye to the two, he returned to the home of Maeda Toshi's family. Maeda Toshi's family is not at home these days, and there are only Mrs. Matsu, Imagawa Kaede and the maid Suzu at home.

However, there were two more small figures in the courtyard. Yuqiu Ping looked at it and saw that it was Honda Tadakatsu and Ryuko, who came back early. Yu Qiuping can also guess with his toes that it must be Ryuko who is going to pester Honda Tadashi to teach her martial arts. But this child is the stupidest, and he doesn't say anything coquettish and begging, just to let Honda Tadashi teach her. Honda Tadakatsu was not sociable either.,It's a quiet person.,I'm annoyed by her.,I actually agreed to teach her.。 It stands to reason that when ordinary people encounter this situation, it is perfunctory. But Honda Tadashi is very serious about etiquette, and he is very serious, and he teaches quite well at a glance.

However, Longzi, who was originally learning energetically, immediately threw down the wooden knife in his hand and ran over as soon as he saw Yu Qiuping coming. Around his neck, he still wore the scarf.

"Your Highness," Ryuko said with some excitement, "welcome home!" ”

"Longzi is so good," Yu Qiuping squeezed out a smile and touched Longzi's head, "Is dinner delicious?" ”

"Hmm!" Ryuko nodded vigorously.

"Don't get too tired from practice, pay attention to rest." After Yu Qiuping gave a word of advice, he walked straight into the door and came to Imagawa Kaede's house. Kaede Imagawa was leaning on the pillow, caressing his bulging abdomen with a kind face, full of maternal radiance. In his previous life, he always heard that women can be very short-tempered when they are pregnant. But after Imagawa Kaede became pregnant, she became unusually docile, which made him miss the princess who was a little petty before.

"You're back?" Imagawa Kaede raised his eyes and looked at Yu Qiuping, "How was the evaluation meeting?" ”

Kaede Imagawa's call pulled Yu Qiuping back from his distraction, and the smile that had just appeared on the corner of his mouth because of the memory immediately disappeared without a trace.

"What's wrong, Ping?" Imagawa Kaede sensed Yu Qiuping's abnormality and asked.

The corners of Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched, avoiding Kaede Imagawa's eyes.

"I'm going to attack the Imagawa family."

Yu Qiuping tried to keep his words as short as possible, as if the fewer words he said, the less pain he felt in his heart.

Imagawa Kaede froze in place, unable to say anything.

After a long time, she gave a very strange smile.

"Let's go to sleep first," Kaede Imagawa lowered his head, hiding the tears from the corners of his eyes, "In the end..."

"Still can't escape the lives of the sons and daughters of the martial arts?"

"Life..."Yu Qiuping raised his head, looked at the stars outside the window, and whispered like a dream: "Is it?" ”

·

"Yuqiu, do you believe in fate?" Yoshimoto Imagawa leaned against the pillars of the Shinseeki promenade and looked at Yuakihei, who was picking up autumn leaves in autumn.

"I don't believe it." Yu Qiuping replied decisively, "Life is such a thing, it is all created by yourself. If there is really a fate, then those who believe that they will be rich and prosperous in their destiny, and then stop working hard, are they not sure that they will not be rich? ”

"Haha, wrong answer!" Imagawa Yoshimoto snapped his fingers with a smile, "Maybe, those people are destined to stop working hard at some point because of their faith!" ”

"This..."Yu Qiuping felt as if he was stuck in a strange circle of circular argumentation. However, a person like him who has crossed over is unlikely to believe in what fate says: "Anyway, I don't believe it." ”

"Haha, I don't read Buddhism at first glance," Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head with a smile, "When Master Seisai was alive, he often taught me that everyone has their own destiny. Life and death are fateful, no matter how much you struggle, you can't escape fate, and it is impossible to help others avoid fate. ”

"I don't think so." Yu Qiuping finally picked a maple leaf that he was satisfied with and looked at it carefully.

"Haha, you, you," Imagawa Yoshimoto was also a pleasure, "Do you know, Master Yukisai also said that there are people who can get rid of fate." ”

Yu Qiuping picked out the maple leaves while listening intently to what Imagawa Yoshimoto said.

However, Imagawa Yoshimoto's words came to an abrupt halt, and instead turned his head and stared at Yu Qiuping. After Yu Qiuping found that Imagawa Yoshimoto no longer spoke, he turned his head with some surprise and met Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes.

Those eyes were full of endless darkness, and there was no look in sight. A moment later, the blood flashed. A ghost-like voice sounded from the red leaves in his palm: "There is only a god and Buddha who transcends time and knows everything-"

·

"Ahh Yu Qiuping woke up from his dream screaming, sat up, and found that he was already covered in cold sweat. He looked around and saw that Kaede Imagawa had fallen asleep peacefully, and the furniture was still arranged as it had been before he fell asleep.

Is it a dream...
