After returning to his house with the drunken Maeda Toshiya, Amatsu immediately greeted him apologetically and helped Maeda Toshiya back to rest. Except for Suzu, the other maids all lived in other houses, and only Suzu stayed at Maeda Toshi's house to take care of Kaede Imagawa.

"Is she still sleeping?" Yu Qiuping asked Ah Ling, who was washing towels.

"I guess so." Ah Ling nodded.

Yu Qiuping pushed the door in, and saw Imagawa Kaede lying peacefully asleep on the tatami mat, the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, and the depressed mood just now faded a little. He quietly changed his clothes, for fear of waking up his sleeping princess.

Still, apparently he moved a little bigger. Kaede Imagawa seemed to hear the noise beside him, frowned slightly, and woke up from his dream with a mutter.

"You're back?" Kaede Imagawa asked softly, "How's it going?" ”

"Well, everybody's very warm to me, they're all very nice people." Yu Qiuping laughed and lay down beside her.

Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and asked in a low voice, "Ping, you seem to have something to worry about?" ”

"Hmmm..."Yu Qiuping muttered, but he didn't expect his thoughts to be seen through all of a sudden. However, he didn't know where to start with the contradictions in his heart. He wanted to rebel and assassinate Oda Nobunaga to avenge Imagawa Yoshimoto. His attitude towards the Oda family was very subtle, and he didn't know how to deal with his friends who really cared for him.

But how can I tell Kaede Imagawa about this right now? She is still pregnant with a child, so if she knows about it, she will definitely worry about herself every day.

Forget it, Yu Qiuping sighed and changed the question: "I'm coming to Oda's house... Will Kaede blame me? ”

"Huh?" Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, "Are you worried about this?" ”

Yu Qiuping nodded silently, staggering his gaze and not looking at Kaede Imagawa's eyes.

Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping's side face, pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's okay... At first, it was a bit of a disappointment. But at that time, I was even more glad that you could come back safely, and I was glad that we could be together again, so I didn't pay much attention. She paused, "Later, I gradually looked away, and I didn't think much about it... After all, according to the history of your previous life, the Oda family finally unified the whole of, didn't they? On the side of the victors, everyone who follows you can live a peaceful life, and you don't have to be displaced and separated again..."

Yu Qiuping chuckled in his heart... But if he's hell-bent on revenge... I won't go down this history. Would Kaede Imagawa want to see that day?

And also... I haven't been caring about Imagawa Kaede some time ago.,She didn't notice so many fluctuations in her heart.,It's really too irresponsible...

"If Ping is worried that I blame you, why did you go to the enemy who killed your father, why didn't you avenge Jiayan..."Imagawa Kaede hesitated for a moment, and continued to speak: "I believe that if you are still in the Imagawa family, you will definitely work tirelessly for it, and I also understand your feelings for Jiayan." But the Imagawa family decided to chase you down... He also blamed all the blame for Narumi Castle on you, and made you suffer wrongs... This is the Imagawa family, I'm sorry for Ping first, so I can't blame you..."

"Anyway, it's your choice," Imagawa Kaede saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so he changed to a slightly more cheerful tone, opened his hand, put his arms around Yu Qiuping's neck, and pillowed his head in the crook of his arm, "I believe in you, you just don't regret it." ”

No regrets... Is it another choice without regrets?

Suddenly, Imagawa Kaede was suddenly hugged tightly by Yu Qiuping, making her almost out of breath. She vaguely seemed to feel cold tears rolling down her cheeks. She was stunned for a moment, slowly patted Yu Qiuping's back, and hummed a little song softly like comforting a baby.

Yu Qiuping whimpered and remembered the true feelings of Maeda Toshiya and others, remembered Oda Nobunaga's trust and thirst for talent, and remembered Imagawa Yoshimoto's kindness to him, and his hand couldn't help but hold the rib in his arms.

"Will I regret it?"

After a sleepless night, the next day, Yu Qiuping was called by Lin Xiuzhen to his mansion in Cheongju City, saying that he wanted to assign Yu Qiuping the next task.

"The lord has gone to Ikoma Ryokan," Hayashi said with a kind smile explaining why Oda Nobunaga didn't come in person. After seeing Yu Qiuping's somewhat puzzled eyes, Lin Xiuzhen coughed slightly, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Ikoma has never been taken to live in the castle tower of Qingzhou City. ”

Oh! This may be the 7-year-old Yoshino Ikoma that Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneko talked about. I didn't expect Oda Nobunaga to be so energetic.,I was still in Qingshu City for a meeting before nightfall yesterday.,I actually went straight to Ikoma Ryokan at night?

"There's no more gossip," Lin Xiuzhen naturally skipped the awkward topic, "I called you here this time to roughly tell you what you need to do in the coming period." These were all arranged by the lord last night. ”

"Your Highness Lin, please command." Yu Qiuping said respectfully.

"The day of the autumn harvest has basically passed, so His Royal Highness Yuqiu doesn't need to rush to the territory." Lin Xiuzhen said as she looked at Yu Qiuping's expression with her spare eyes, "The lord is expected to go to Sanhe in October, and when that time, His Royal Highness Yuqiu will lead his troops to act together and serve as the guide of this army. ”

Yu Qiuping's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and there was some indescribable bitterness. was used as a guide to lead the Oda family to attack Mikawa - no matter how you look at it, it feels like a traitor in the previous life.

"The old man heard that many of the family members of His Royal Highness Yuqiu are still in Zhili City?" Lin Xiuzhen cast a puzzled gaze on Yu Qiuping, who nodded. "That's just right," Lin Xiuzhen smiled kindly, "The lord's good intentions must be to let His Royal Highness Yuqiu receive his family members and then go to the territory together." ”

"Thank you, Lord and His Royal Highness Lin." Yu Qiuping said gratefully, "I will definitely dedicate my loyalty to the Oda family." ”

"It's just that if our side attacks Sanhe, will His Highness Yuqiu's family be threatened?" Lin Xiuzhen asked worriedly.

"Probably not, His Highness Matsudaira is a frank person." Yu Qiuping thought for a while, nodded and said, "I won't do this villain's thing." ”

After Yu Qiuping got up and left, Lin Xiuzhen called a few of his attendants.

"Hmm... Go ahead and leave this to the lord. Lin Xiuzhen handed the attendant a scroll, and then added with a smile: "If the lord gets up." ”

"Dare to ask Your Highness, what is in this?" The attendant also seems to be Lin Xiuzhen's cronies, and he is not shy about speaking.

"It's the old man's arrangement for His Royal Highness Yuqiu, report it to the lord." Lin Xiuzhen put her hands behind her back, got up slowly, raised her eyebrows, and motioned for all the people around her to step back.

"Before the battle of the barrels, did the remaining two of the three people you asked you to monitor move?" Lin Xiuzhen changed her kindness just now, her face became extremely serious, and she said in a low voice.

"No, the two of them seem to be happy with the reward and don't show anything out of the ordinary." The squire replied in a low voice.

Lin Xiuzhen's eyebrows furrowed, and the hand behind her back trembled slightly. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Go down." ”

The following days can be regarded as calm for the rain and autumn. Instead of receiving a new assignment or attending any major appraisal meeting, he could start settling his own business. Tokiwabi was still stationed in the castle town of Kiyoshu Castle, and grain and grass were supplied directly from the granary of the Oda family. And Imagawa Kaede's body gradually improved under the care of Ah Song and her maids, which made Yu Qiuping breathe a sigh of relief. However, there are also worries. Because he couldn't bear the loneliness, he went to the whale house in the castle town of Qingzhou City to spend time drinking, but the prostitution money on his body was not enough, and he was detained on the spot. It was Yu Qiuhei and Maeda Toshiya who went to ransom him back with money. And Lan Xiang Huadu and his craftsmen were also idle and opened a blacksmith shop in the castle town to help the people tinker. Naturally, there is no mention of their craftsmanship, but this robs a lot of local craftsmen of their craftsmanship, and the two sides have even made trouble with the security department.

Tokiwabei's training continued, but not too intensely. Yu Qiuping now realizes that high-intensity training requires a large supply of food. In the past, at Imagawa's house, Imagawa Yoshimoto has been opening the back door to deliver supplies to him, not worrying about food or clothing, and the team is naturally training hard every day. But when I arrived at Oda's house, the supply of food and grass was enough to ensure that I would not go hungry, and I couldn't bear the high-intensity training every day. Yu Qiuping was a little worried that in the long run, Chang Panbei's combat effectiveness would decline, but there was no good solution for the time being.

Yu Qiuping is basically pulled out by Maeda Toshiya every day. As long as Maeda Toshiya is not on duty, he will definitely not be idle. Either they are looking for their mother's buddies and Ikeda Hengxing to drink together, or everyone goes to the mountains and rivers together, which is also a bit of fun. Yu Qiuping also took the time to visit Mori Kosei and Niwa Nagahide twice, thanking them for their help to him.

After a long time, the days seemed to become dull again. It's just that the last time I lived such a leisurely time was when I was at the Imagawa family.

What brought surprises to Yu Qiuping's life were two letters from friends. One is Matsushita's light mess, and the other is Asai Nagamasa. The senders of both letters suffered a lot. Because when they sent the letter, Yu Qiuping was still at Imagawa's house! They traveled all the way to Sunfu Castle across the Owari Mikawa River, only to be told that Yu Qiupei had been exiled. The two unlucky guys happened to be chatting in the tavern on their return trip together, and they were surprised by fate and went to Owari to find Yu Akihei together.

Both letters were written after the defeat of the Yuaki Flat Barrel Sayama. Asai Nagamasa first expressed regret and regret for the death of Imagawa Jibu, and then comforted his brother-in-law Yu Qiuping, so that he did not have to be discouraged and blame himself, cheer up, and fight together for the righteousness of the world. The letter pointed out several deficiencies in Yu Qiuping's military deployment and response, but at the end of the letter, he expressed his appreciation and emotion for Yu Qiuping's behavior, hoping that Yu Qiuping could adhere to his light and righteousness.

Instead of going out with Maeda's Toshiya that afternoon, Yu Qiuhei sat at the desk and read the two letters over and over again.

At that time, the three of them made an appointment together, practiced light and righteousness, used goodness and righteousness to correct the world, and ended the cycle of chaos. The two of them are still the same, but they have changed.

Maybe I'm really too young. I can think of a solution, why didn't anyone use it in the ancients? The truly capable people understand that they can't win the world by relying on the so-called kindness and benevolence, and they will only affect countless people who follow and trust themselves.

However, when Yu Qiuping read these two letters repeatedly, and looked at the power and conviction displayed in the words that jumped on the paper, he couldn't help but be enthusiastic about them. That's what I once dreamed of! That's what I promised to countless people!

Can I give it up?
