Chapter 360: Redemption

Child, be a good person and live well.

Don't feel guilty for the accident of His Royal Highness, and don't let hatred dominate your life.

And don't feel burdened because I gave you back my death, because I did it entirely for my own sake.

As Momiji said, for more than 1,000 years, only the people in the world have suffered. There is no shortage of a family governor who has won all battles in the world, and there is no shortage of an old family who is proficient in government affairs, no matter how powerful they are, they will only repeat the old way of controlling chaos. What is really lacking is a good person who is eager to use light and justice to correct the world and end the cycle of chaos.

That good guy is you, kid.

End the troubled times, maintain peace for a long time, save the people from fire and water, and return peace to the people.

That's what you don't know.

Take this as a way to comfort me and the heavenly spirits of His Highness the Governor.

When faced with a problem of not being able to choose, a coin toss is the best option, not because the coin can help you decide something, but because the moment the coin is tossed, the answer will appear in your mind.

Whether you want heads or tails, when you look at the coins flipped in the air, it will turn into heartfelt anticipation and prayers, and come to your eyes.

The same goes for this letter.

If a simple letter can change a person's personality and beliefs, and change an upcoming coup d'Γ©tat, I am afraid it is all a fairy tale. However, if you believe in a struggling person, you don't know whether your heart is a young man who longs for good or evil. This letter was enough to become the straw that broke the camel's back, and became the coin that was tossed high, helping Yu Qiuping to make up his mind on the choice of the road.

When Yu Qiuping saw this letter, the relief and joy in his heart made him suddenly realize that in his own heart, he was still a good person.

is not disappointed because of the failure of the revenge obsession all the time, but is full of the hope that he can be a good person again. His Royal Highness Sena never wanted me to get revenge, but wanted me to be myself. The ideals and ambitions of supporting the world when he was a teenager will not quietly dissipate after all, and it still occupies the softest place in Yuqiuping's heart. It's just that the washing of troubled times, the obsession of revenge, and the burden of exchanging lives for lives are temporarily hidden in the shadows.

He has been running away, running away from his good heart, running away from his ideals.

And this letter brought that kind heart back to the light of day.

I'm a good person.

His Royal Highness Sena...

Should I cry or laugh now?

Crying, crying about the self-torture of the past seven years. Obviously yearning for the light, but carrying the burden of revenge and struggling forward, he almost forced himself to betray his relatives and break down. If I had pulled out that gap earlier, and understood earlier that what you expected from me was not revenge at all, how could I have forced myself to waste these seven years.

Laugh, laugh at yourself and finally get on the right path. There is no need to force yourself into darkness and sacrifice the lives of countless good brothers and people to complete revenge. You saved my life, not for me to take revenge, but for me to live well, to save all the people of the world, to repay you and His Royal Highness the Governor in heaven.

Yu Qiuping's hand holding the silk silk trembled uncontrollably, tears flowed silently, but the corners of his mouth kept grinning.

His Royal Highness Sena... Your letter has pulled me out, who has buried one foot in the abyss of sin. It's so dramatic, I can't believe it would have happened to me if it hadn't happened to me. If I really did such a hurtful thing, I would never be able to turn back, and I would never be able to be a good person again.

At the end of the day, it's still the hairy kid you have to worry about.

I made a choice.

"Yoshibei, His Royal Highness Sena's suicide note, take a look." Yu Qiuping cried and laughed, and handed the suicide note to Sena Shiyoshi. After reading it, Sena Shiyi also burst into tears and showed the suicide note to everyone else present.

"The plan is canceled, I won't rebel, I won't kill a lord who treats me well for revenge, and kill so many brothers and people."

As soon as Yu Qiuping spoke, Shigeharu Takenaka, Kaede Imagawa, Shun Sena and Naoe Tadahei all breathed a sigh of relief. Sanada Masayuki and Amano Keitoku were stunned for a moment, and they also nodded.

"Quan Bingwei, I may have to say sorry to you." Yu Qiuping shook his head slightly, and glanced at Tianye Jingde apologetically, "Although I have suffered so many losses, although you have persuaded me so many times." But in my heart, I still want to be a good person. How, will you be disappointed? ”

"No, Your Highness, I made a mistake before." Tianye Jingde said in a firm whisper: "The world is sinister, and in the next mind, I hope that His Highness will become realistic." But if His Highness from the light also falls into darkness, then everything he does is meaningless. If darkness does not bring light, there is no way to talk about chaos before order. ”

"Please continue to be kind, Your Highness." Amano Jingde Furui Wubo's face was slightly moved, "Leave all the dirty things to be done." ”

"Thank you." Yu Qiuping nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently hugged Imagawa Kaede at his side. The latter was slightly stunned, and submissively threw himself into her arms, two small hands around his waist, and sobbed quietly.

"Don't worry, Feng'er." Yu Qiuping let out a long sigh, "That kind rotten good person, a person who is determined to save the world." ”

"I'm back."

"Welcome home."

After a whole night's silence, Akihei walked out of Kuroda Castle's castle tower. The bonfire at the top of the castle tower has been taken down, and the ninjas who are ready to attack have been withdrawn - one of the ninjas who had been in ambush in the castle tower and pretended to be a servant to light the fire also received information that it had been canceled. I'm sure he'll be a little happy, at least he won't have to carry out the order for the suicide bombing. As for the question of whether the plan may be leaked, Yu Qiuping didn't bother to think about it. He couldn't make the ruthless decision to kill all the ninjas who knew about it, but asked Sanada Masayuki to find a way to shift their range of activity away from Owari and reduce the possibility of leaks.

When he stood at the head of the castle once again, breathing in the air of Owari Land, he suddenly felt that the air was incomparably fresh and free. It's really nice to be yourself.

"Alright, let's go." After Akihei gave the order, a large amount of baggage began to roll out of the warehouse near Kuroda Castle and was transported to the Kiso River. A large number of Oda family's auxiliaries waited there, and then transferred the baggage to Sumamata Castle.

"Let's go and talk to the Kato family, the Hara family, the Nonomura family, and the Kawa family." Yu Qiuping called Sanada Masayuki and asked him to send ninjas to inform the four small wealthy clans, "The Oda family is going to launch an inevitable offensive against Nishimino this time. If they defect to the Oda family now, they can serve as a good benchmark, and the lord will not treat them badly. As for how to weigh it, it is up to them to decide. ”

"And, half-guards." After Sanada Masayuki left, Yu Qiuping turned around, looked at Shigeharu Takenaka, who followed him to the head of the city, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you say before that you didn't want to be the enemy of the old master, so you didn't want to join the Yuqiu family?" Why did you ask to join the Yuqiu family this time and act with the troops? ”

"For the tens of thousands of living beings in Ximinon." Shigeharu Takenaka sighed, and said a little helplessly: "The Oda Palace's dispatch of troops this time is huge, and it is bound to win, and Nishimino may not be able to resist." I can't bear to see the lives of Ximinon, so I want to go out in person, and with my thin face, persuade the many wealthy families in Ximeno not to make useless struggles, so as not to die and be injured in vain. ”

"I see." Yu Qiuping nodded suddenly in understanding. In the history of the previous life, the three members of Nishimino also fell to the Oda family without a fight in the tenth year of Eiroku (1567).

"However, there are other reasons." Seeing that Yu Qiuping did not continue, Shigeharu Takenaka paused and then whispered.

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled knowingly, turned around, and glanced at Shigeji Takenaka.

"Hanbei, I'm back."

"Momiji, welcome back. I am willing to dedicate loyalty to the Yuqiu family. ”

"As long as Your Highness still remembers the ambition of ending the cycle of chaos and saving all the people in the world, I, the Takenaka Half-Guard, will serve the Yuqiu family and His Highness."

After Shigeharu Takenaka said this, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and despite Yu Qiuping's obstruction, he made a very solemn bow.

"Do your best, and then die."

Before sunset on April 3, Yu Qiupei escorted the last of the baggage across the Kiso River. In the evening of the same day, Yu Qiuping personally rushed to Sumamata Castle. When he arrived, he was told that Oda Nobunaga had left the castle tower of Sumata Castle in the afternoon and had led his vanguard to camp north of Sumamata.

"Lord, is he still comfortable living in Sumamata Castle?" Yu Qiuping tentatively asked the remaining Ma Xiaozhong.

"Everything is fine, please rest assured, Your Highness Momiji." The remaining Ma Men said respectfully, "But Maeda-sama and Ikeda-sama didn't rest well. ”

"Oh?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with them?" ”

"Don't hide it from Your Highness," Ma Xiaozhong said this, and he was quietly happy first, "A few of them searched inside and outside the city of Momata for most of the night, trying to find the beautiful woman that His Highness was rumored to be hiding, but they found nothing. ”

"Poof!" Yu Qiuping was amused by these two second-class goods all of a sudden, "That really disappointed them." ”

"By the way, Your Highness, the lord also asked me to send an order." The Ma Xia Zhong spoke again, "The lord asked His Highness to follow the large army north tomorrow and camp in the fourteen areas. ”

"Fourteen?" Yu Qiuping was a little surprised when he heard this, "Why did you go to Fourteen?" Isn't that the direction to Inabayama Castle? Isn't the lord's target this time Nishiminon? ”

"This... In the lower position, it is not clear. "The people of the horse are very measured, and they will stop, "The specific situation, Your Highness will know tomorrow." ”

On the afternoon of April 4, the large forces of Akihei and Sumamata Castle advanced to the Shishijo area. When he saw the papaya flag fluttering in the wind again, his heart was much lighter, and the eyes looking at the papaya flag were no longer complicated and guilty.

Oda Nobunaga treats me well, and the Oda family also has many good brothers.

Let's do it here, just like I did at the Imagawa family.

As soon as Yu Qiuping arrived at the camp, he noticed the strangeness of Oda Nobunaga's formation. Almost all of the fortifications were facing the defense line of Inabayama Castle, and several camps were set up on the main road leading from Inabayama Castle to Nishimino and Shijo, and the posture of attacking Inabayama Castle was assumed.

When the crowd was basically due, Oda Nobunaga held an evaluation meeting in the barracks. Before Yu Qiuping could ask, Sakuma Nobumori, who had also just arrived at the camp, was the first to raise an objection.

"My lord." Sakuma Nobumori whispered worriedly: "I'm afraid something is wrong with such a formation." In the unlikely event that the Nishimino Yakuza attack from the west side, it will not be easy for us to defend or evacuate from a lineup that is too deep from north to south. ”

"Why are the Nishimino Clans attacking us?" After hearing this, Oda Nobunaga threw out an intriguing rhetorical question.
