"Huh? What did you say? Yu Qiuping didn't hear Sanada Masayuki clearly, and asked him in surprise.

"Nothing, Your Highness." Sanada shook his head and sighed. After a moment, he continued to whisper, "Let's continue to report later." The reason why I want to prepare a piece of information for Oda Hall and Tsushima merchants..."

"It's because the merchants of Tsushima and the Oda Hall have also laid out fine works in the territory of Mino and the four wealthy families with whom we have a contract. I've also arranged for Uchiha-sama to monitor their movements. But these things are not easy for the people on the Oda family side to know. Sanada Masayuki quickly finished this paragraph, and then set his eyes on Yu Qiuping.

"Well done!" Yu Qiuping didn't react after hearing this, so of course he followed Sanada Masayuki's fast pace of speech, nodded quickly and said, "We are monitoring the Oda family's fine work, and we really can't let the Oda family know..."

However, having said this, Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that something was wrong!

He's a retainer of the Oda family! How can there be a reason that as a retainer, he specially dedicates a part of the ninja power to monitor the ninjas and fine work of the master's family, and secretly prepares false information not to show the master's family!

Masayuki Sanada... I don't know what he wants to rebel about, he only told Naoe Tadahei and Amano Keitoku about this plan!

"But it's not right to do that!" Yu Qiuping immediately quickly added this sentence, and then tried to pretend to meet Sanada Masayuki's gaze naturally, "How can our Yuqiu family, as a retainer of the Oda family, monitor the ninja and Hosaku of the main family?" Let Aooka withdraw all those ninjas, and destroy the false information that was specially shown to the master's family. ”

Sanada Masayuki looked at Yu Qiuping's eyes, lowered his head sadly, nodded in an almost invisible way for Yu Qiuping, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

"Wait a minute, Kibei." Yu Qiuping noticed Sanada Masayuki's strange appearance, and hurriedly stopped him: "Do you have something?" ”

"No, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about it." Sanada Masayuki shook his head and said, "I'm retiring." ”

"Wait a minute!" Seeing this, Yu Qiuping hurriedly got up and grabbed Sanada Masayuki, "What's wrong with you, Kibei?" We've known each other for so long, and I've never seen you look like that! ”

Sanada Masayuki sighed, smiled bitterly, raised his head to look back at Yu Qiuping, and said in a low voice: "Yes, I have known His Highness for a long time." ”

After Sanada Masayuki said this, he suddenly fell silent. Yu Qiuping was at a loss for a while, and he just tugged at Sanada Masayuki's sleeve and was stunned in the room.

After a long time, Sanada Masayuki suddenly laughed miserably, and then asked softly:

"Does Your Highness really think that the comparison between the outside and the inside is a compliment?"

·

"Huh?" Yu Qiuping's eyes flashed, and he asked rhetorically: "When I praised you for your appearance and appearance, didn't you still say that this was a very appropriate evaluation, because playing intelligence is to deceive people?" ”

"yes, that's right." Sanada Masayuki nodded and said in a low voice: "People with different hearts and mouths. ”

"Whoever plays intelligence is to deceive people. I have long been aware of this, and since I have been the Prime Minister of Yuqiu's Military Intelligence Department in the past few years, I have a deep understanding of this. Sanada Masayuki shook his head helplessly, but there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "I have to prepare a lot of faces, a lot of words, and even facial expressions in advance." Because, every time I meet someone, I have to think about what information he knows now, what information he can know, what information he can't tell him, and what problems I have to lie to him. ”

"Enemy ninjas and Hosaku, I will try to deceive them with false information; The ninjas below, sometimes in order to complete the mission, I will lie to them that the mission is not dangerous; I sometimes deliberately tell them false information, and then try to expose them to the enemy in order to confuse them; The more Sanada Masayuki spoke, the deeper his voice became: "The Oda family's ninjas and the Metsuke group must be on guard in every possible way to prevent them from interfering with our intelligence system. Even Uchiha-sama, who is my deputy, has a lot of things to lie to him and can't tell him the truth. It's not just me who deceives, but all of them may have expired for their own benefit. What I have to do is try to identify the lies that exist in all the intelligence. ”

"Deceiving people, being deceived, deceiving people, being deceived, whether it is a big lie or a little deception, every day is living in a lie," Sanada Masayuki sighed, burying his face in a deep shadow, "I seem to be really like that, switching between different faces and deceiving different people." Even when facing his wife, he couldn't confide in him, but instinctively deceived her. ”

Yu Qiuping looked at Sanada Masayuki with a low face and confided in his heart, and his heart was shocked. He never imagined that the hard-working and capable Sanada Masayuki, who never seemed to have any negative emotions on weekdays, would actually carry such a burden and pressure.

"Your Highness." When Sanada Masayuki said this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yu Qiuping with a gloomy gaze, "No one is born to like to deceive people, there is no such person." ”

"The reason why a person who is happy on the outside and inside is to deceive others with all his might, is to protect the safety of a person who still trusts him no matter how many people he deceives."

"I thought that His Highness was such a person. Because His Royal Highness is willing to entrust the Military Intelligence Department, an important department that determines the life and death of the family, to an outsider like Me, who came from Kai. I thought that your trust in me was worth deceiving the world for you. Sanada Masayuki said this, he has always been strong, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.

"But Your Highness, do you still not trust me now, and are you still watching out for me like you did in the palace back then, and you have something to hide from me? Am I not worthy of your trust? ”

·

Yu Qiuping silently listened to Sanada Masayuki's words, and only felt that there were turbulent waves rolling in his heart.

yes, how could he not have realized the struggle in Sanada Masayuki's heart? How could he never have realized that as an outsider, he would be troubled by whether he was trusted or not. Why didn't he realize that he had been lying to people and living in lies, which was a huge burden on his psyche.

What should I do?

Tell him that he had decided to betray the Oda family a long time ago, and that he had joined the Oda family in order to avenge Oda Nobunaga. However, after all, he is an outsider from Kai, and I don't know if he is inextricably linked with the Takeda family or other forces, unlike Keitoku Amano and Tadahei Naoe, who can be trusted unconditionally.

Didn't he deceive the Uesugi family, the Hojo family, the Tokugawa family, and the Toyotomi family in his original history? Has he ever been loyal to someone? Is such a person who is more than happy on the outside world also using my words now? Is he really trustworthy?

didn't tell him, hid it from him, and even replaced him from the position of the number one in the Military Intelligence Department, and even arrested him - I believe that Amano Jingde will be happy to do such a job for the safety of Yuqiu's family.

I have to make a choice again.

Make a choice without regrets.

Yu Qiuping raised his head and looked at the ceiling, struggling violently in his heart. At this moment, the words that Sanada Masayuki had just said suddenly echoed in his heart.

·

"No one is born to liar, there is no such person."

"The reason why a person who is happy on the outside and inside is to deceive others with all his might, is to protect the safety of a person who still trusts him no matter how many people he deceives."

·

The truth when he said this will not be false. Over the years, life and death have been accompanied, and the true love that has never been abandoned will not be fake. Even if he is really the person who was more than happy in his previous life, I am willing to believe him.

"Kibei." Yu Qiuping made up his mind, lowered his head again, and looked directly into his eyes with some expectation and nervousness: "It's not a secret." I joined the Oda family with only one purpose. ”

"Kill Oda Nobunaga and avenge the late Imperial Highness."

·

After hearing this, Sanada Masayuki smiled and smiled with relief.

"What's the matter, Kibei? Why are you laughing? Yu Qiuping looked at him and asked in surprise.

"I laughed because I didn't see the wrong person in Xia, and because His Highness didn't disappoint Zaixia." Sanada Masayuki smiled and smiled, but tears quietly slipped down his eyes. He put his left hand into the placket of his shirt, and after groping for it a few times, he handed a letter to Yu Qiuping.

"What is this?" Yu Qiuping took the letter and asked puzzledly.

"This is a letter from the Governor's Hall below, to the Lower Governor." Sanada Masayuki's calm words made Yu Qiuping change color.

Sanada Masayuki's family governor's hall - it is the Takeda family governor, Takeda Shingen!

Yu Qiuping hurriedly opened the letter and almost lost it. Sanada Masayuki smiled as he watched Yu Qiuping read the letter quickly, and he also opened his mouth to summarize the contents of the letter.

"For so many years, the Takeda family has not cut ties with Zaixia. However, most of the letters in the past were just things written by my brother or father to ask for warmth, which was harmless. Only this time, it was written by the Governor's Palace. The Governor of the House said, Your Highness, you have definitely bad intentions when you join the Oda family. Even if he is really desperate, he must have a grudge against Oda Nobunaga. ”

"The Governor of the House believes that Oda Nobunaga is majestic and strategic, and he has the upper hand in the attack on Mino, and his future development should not be underestimated. Such heroes must be targeted early. ”

"He then asked me to find a way to persuade you to rebel, causing the Oda family to fall into civil war. Then he took the opportunity to lead the Saito family to invade and beat Owari and Mino into a mess. At a critical moment, in the name of the Governor of the Imperial Palace, he will fall to Oda Nobunaga and betray you to the Oda family in exchange for Oda Nobunaga's trust and climb to a high position, directly monitoring Oda Nobunaga's movements. ”

Yu Qiuping's hands trembled and he finished reading the poisonous plan written on the letter by Takeda Shingen, one ring after another, giving Yu Qiuping no room for countermeasures at all, and it will definitely lead Owari and Mino into chaos, which greatly restricts the development of the Oda family.

And if Sanada Masayuki didn't choose to give the letter to himself, but acted according to Takeda Shingen's plan...

Yu Qiuping had to say that although Takeda Shingen was thousands of miles away, he had caught his mind. It is really possible for him, under the persuasion of others, to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, and then rebel. And after that, Sanada Masayuki, whom he had trusted, would fight back and betray the Yuqiu family to Oda Nobunaga, so that the Yuqiu family was completely in a place of no return.

It's so dangerous...

·

"In the next moment, it's just making a choice." Sanada Masayuki looked at the expressions of Yuqiu Pingtian's war, smiled and said: "If Your Highness chooses to believe me, tell your antipathy to Your Highness, and be loyal to Your Highness, accompany you to kill Oda Nobunaga, and give you this letter." If His Royal Highness doesn't want to believe in Zaixia, then Zaixia will have no choice but to dedicate this ability to the Takeda family and act according to the plan. ”

"I'm glad I chose the right one, because you really deserve my trust." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect you to see that I have a bad heart, if I hide it from you, the Yuqiu family will be doomed." ”

"I did see it a long time ago." Sanada Masayuki nodded and said, "How dare you ask, how many people know this secret?" ”

"Count me, the fourth." Yu Qiuping replied truthfully, "Except for you, only the pro-soldier guard and the power guard know. ”

Sanada Masayuki smiled when he heard this, bowed respectfully, and said, "It's an honor to be one of your most trusted people." Your trust will be reported with loyalty. ”

"Then I'll give you back this letter, Dr. Daizen's words are really good," Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly and handed the letter to Sanada Masayuki.

"No need, this letter will be left with you, Your Highness." Sanada Masayuki shook his head and refused: "It's a proof of loyalty to you." ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled, Sanada Masayuki is putting his handle in his hands to prove his loyalty.

So, without thinking, he picked up the letter and tore it to shreds in front of Sanada Masayuki.

"You don't need to prove your loyalty to me."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"For the sake of your trust, I will deceive all the people in the world who want to be your enemy."
