At noon on June 25, Yu Qiuping was escorted back to Junfu. The army was disbanded on the spot, and Yu Qiuping was taken to the dungeon of Junfu City and imprisoned, waiting for tomorrow morning to go to the execution ground in the east of Junfu City.

After nightfall, Yu Qiuping learned from the prison guards that the survivors of Tokiwabi had not been subjected to much trouble, and had been confined to a military camp in the south of the city. And Kaede Imagawa, who was originally staying in the castle tower, immediately fainted after hearing about the verdict against Yu Qiuping. I finally woke up in the evening, but I burst into tears because of my uncontrollable emotions, refused to eat anything, and kept asking to see Shou Guini, but was stopped in the house by the guards.

Yu Qiuping listened to the distress for a while, but he was helpless. Hopefully she remembers the promise we made. It was an agreement made after the two of them got together for the first time, and after waking up.

"Nope." Yu Qiuping suddenly refused, he turned around, put his hands on Imagawa Kaede's shoulders, stared at her, and said solemnly: "I want you to make an agreement with me, just in this maple leaf forest, swear to the red leaves." ”

"Whichever side of us has suffered misfortune. The other party must live firmly, and there must be no martyrdom. Yu Qiuping looked directly into Imagawa Kaede's eyes, "Because as long as you live, you can still remember the appearance of the other party, remember every bit of the past, and remember how beautiful this world used to be." ”

"To see the world for another person that he has not been able to see, to experience the life that he has not been able to experience, and to fulfill the ideals that he has not been able to accomplish."

Kaede, live well.

It's a pity that I can't see you again before I die, I'm sorry.

The dungeon is fairly clean, with a tatami floor and a small table, which is very comfortable. It seems that those who can be locked up here are all big shots, and the guards don't dare to slack off. Otherwise, if one day the criminals go out and gain power, these guards will definitely have a good time.

However, Yu Qiuping certainly does not belong to the kind that can go out one day to gain power. Tomorrow morning – or this morning? Yu Qiuping can't remember the time. Anyway, by that time, he would be executed.

Execute? The threat of death brought Yu Qiuping fear and shock, but it was not as great as he imagined. He had expected that he would panic as he had been in his village two years earlier, when he faced death for the first time. But I didn't expect to be so calm this time. He lay silently on the tatami mat, looking out at the cold moonlight through a small open window in the dungeon.

What happens to people after death? Is there really a heaven, or is there really nothing left after death?

Or is it really true that I came into this world? Could it be that everything is a dream, and after waking up, I lie on the comfortable bed at home, waiting for the fragrant breakfast made by my mother. Or do you not know what kind of wonderful mechanism sent me here, but as long as I die, I can return to the original world?

"Why am I thinking about this all of a sudden?" Yu Qiuping came back to his senses and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, obviously he hadn't thought about this for two years.

Could it be that death is on the verge of death, and there is nothing left to do but hope in the so-called God to bring yourself into a new life? Yu Qiuping vaguely remembered that in "Anna Karenina", the brother of the actor Lewin, also before the end of his life, suddenly became superstitious about God who he had never believed in before. At that time, he could not understand this, but now he understands the deep meaning.

If you return to that world, you must cherish the time you spend with your parents! Be sure to treat your peers well and study hard! By the way, be sure to check out the history of Japan and see if it has changed because of its appearance! If it's really a dream, write down the contents of the dream as soon as you wake up, otherwise it's easy to forget.

Easy to forget...

Am I really going to forget the world? Will you forget that beloved girl too? So many good times and sweet moments together, the love and touching in my heart, will you forget?

Even just thinking of such a possibility, Yu Qiuping immediately felt a chill all over his body, and sat up suddenly, gasping for breath, trying not to think about them.

"I'm scared?" Yu Qiuping whispered in disbelief, "This is what is called... More frightening than death... Things. ”

Yu Qiuping, who came back to his senses, looked out the window again, and the moonlight gradually faded. Instead, there was a hazy halo in the early hours of the morning, and there were only a few hours left in his life.

Dressed in white, Sena sat silently on his knees in the center of the ashram. In each of the four corners of the quiet room, an oil lamp is placed, and the light of the fire flickers and dims, bringing some light to the dark room.

It has been a few days since the verdict against Yu Qiuping was handed down, and in the past few days, Sena Shijun has been living a terrible life.

He is over forty years old, which is not a small age in this era. Accustomed to the ups and downs of the world, he could have calmly faced life and death - didn't his most beloved governor leave suddenly just a month ago.

Now, that young man named Yu Qiuping will also pass away soon. He couldn't let it go no matter what.

He vaguely remembered how he looked when he first met at the banquet in Yinma City two years ago. This young man, with his rather charming temperament and conversation, suddenly attracted the attention of Sena Shitoshi. A down-and-out commoner, but with a pampered and unfazed attitude, neither humble nor arrogant, and profound knowledge that does not match his age, Sena Shijun is really impressed. But at that time, Sena's impression of Yu Qiuping was only at the stage of "great posterity".

What really made Sena Shijun impressed with Yu Qiuping was Yu Qiuping's relief of the more than 200 slaves in Zhili City. A small settler is willing to spend all his savings to send warmth to the homes of more than 200 poor people who have never known each other. The good intentions from the heart and the character of doing what he said made Sena Shijun realize that this young man was not simple. Perhaps, there is something so special about him.

In the autumn of that year, Sena Toshi was ordered to rush to Mikawa to stabilize the situation. On the way to gather the troops, Yu Qiupei also happened to be pulled into the team as a retainer of the Asahina family. Although he had no great ability to dominate and no talent for grasping the battlefield, he volunteered to go to the dangerous Zhili at the appraisal meeting—only for his promise, to deliver the letters to the hands of the two hundred slaves. Although Sena didn't say it explicitly at that moment, he was genuinely moved by his kindness and faith. After that, everything seemed to fall into place.

The young man made great achievements and was given immortal grace. Immediately afterwards, he showed extraordinary talent in military training. And he, after discussing with Imagawa Yoshimoto in private, was assigned to Sena's hand. He admires Yu Qiuping very much, and wants to cultivate this offspring well, and treats Yu Qiuping's feelings even like treating his own children. He watched Yu Qiuping gradually grow from a stunned young man who was not moved by politics at all to an important minister in the family; Watching a military rookie finally work out an army-wide course of action; watched a young man who was once so afraid of death that he couldn't hold a knife that dared to fight for his life for the people and his companions; Watching a lover finally become a family, that descendant has finally become the mainstay of the next generation of the Imagawa family.

Look at that kindness, blooming beautiful flowers in the middle of summer. At that moment, I was extremely relieved and emotional.

I am about to see the moment when the flowers of Nara fall.

"Good boy." Sena smiled bitterly and whispered to himself. He slowly spread out the paper in front of him, and wanted to study the ink, but he put down his hand.

"Is my time almost up?" Yu Qiuping let out a long sigh, lay on his back on the straw, and the shadow of Imagawa Kaede appeared in front of him. Then, I remembered a lot, a lot. Kondo Yasuso, who died fighting for himself, Mizuatomihei, and Kobayakawa Yachichi helped them; always smiling, not a serious but very righteous big brother Chaobina Taehyung; Imagawa Yoshimoto, who has the grace of knowing himself, his own Bole and confidant; Caring for and nurturing himself like a father, Sena Shitoshi single-handedly brought him to where he is today; Thompson Charlie, who is always unsociable and immersed in his own archery; came out of the darkness, but with a bright heart, Naoe Tadahei vowed to follow him for the rest of his life; With a gloomy face, he always uses the darkest thoughts to speculate on others and protect his own Amano Jingde; Itami Kangqing, who longs from the bottom of his heart to pacify the sea frontier; Burdened with a heavy past, Yasunari Fukushima, who is modest and kind; Nakahide Mizensaki, a hippie smiling face and a poor mouth; Yoshioka Katsumasa, who has the loudest voice but no brains; Yuto Ogawa, who doesn't leave his mouth all day long, has more when he is drunk than when he is sober; The big color ghost cave mountain is faithful, and the good old man is Xiaohata Jiesheng; is always a serious reader, and there is always a water atom scripture with the words "worthy" on his lips; always has a passionate heart, a righteous brother who fights for ideals and beliefs; and Asahina Taehyung almost a mold carved out of Maeda Toshiya; The peerless wise man Panasonic who upholds the light and righteousness is chaotic; Sena Yoshi, who can't compare to the iron rooster; The hospitable Imamiya Rakuding; In the future, it is better than Xing Sanada Masayuki; There is also Matsudaira Motoyasu, who fights with forbearance and conspiracy, but values friendship in his heart... There are many, many people, so many memories left in this world, which are being screened in front of my eyes.

It all came to an abrupt end when there was a knock on the door of the dungeon. That's probably what I'm looking forward to. Yuqiu got up slowly and listened to the sound of the key unlocking. A moment later, the iron door was creaked open.

However, it was not the jailer and executioner that Yu Qiuping imagined that he came to open the door. Rather, the Sakina clan Yoshiwa with red eyes and a haggard face, the three Imagawa family flag warriors.

"The family is strict." Sena has only this short sentence.
