When Kaede Imagawa was speechless for a short time, Shigeharu Takenaka spoke again: "Momiji! ”

"Hanbei, is there anything else you have to say?" Yu Qiuping looked directly at Shigeharu Takenaka without fear, "Didn't I already make it clear, I have never been loyal to the Oda family, and I came here just for revenge!" ”

"Momiji, you have to think about it." Shigeharu Takenaka took a deep breath and tried to keep himself as calm as possible and whispered, "If you want to rebel, it's not just Oda Daiden and Maeda-sama and Ikeda-sama who will die." ”

"Tens of thousands of people from the Oda family are trapped on the north bank, the army is in turmoil, and there is no food and grass outside, if the highnesses of the West Mino take the opportunity to attack, there may be countless people who flee and drown in a hurry." Shigeharu Takenaka paused, and continued to whisper bitterly, "It's not just those armies! The whole of Owari and Mino will be caught up in the war by you! Indeed, if you follow Momiji's plan, you may indeed attack the empty castle with so many dragons and no leader in Owari, but what about after that? When all the samurai, nobles, and common people of Owari understand the truth of the matter, and know that you were the one who blatantly rebelled and killed Oda Nobunaga and their family master, do you think they will give up with you? You were originally a foreign general, your foundation is unstable, and with the identity of a Ming countryman, you can't sit on a stable tail at all! ”

"At that time, how did you resist the resistance of the Samurai of the Itonari clan with the more than 1,000 people you have? When they see that you are not strong, they will rise up. The surrounding forces will not sit back and watch the civil strife in Owari, but will take the opportunity to invade and get a piece of the pie. The whole of Owari will be plunged into endless turmoil and war, and I don't know how many people will have to die before we can be united again! ”

"Is this what Momiji wants to see?" The more Shigeji Takenaka spoke, the more excited he became, and he gradually couldn't suppress his emotions, and he propped his hands on the table and yelled at Yu Qiuping: "Is this what you want to do for your own personal vendetta!" Do you want to involve tens of thousands of people in misery for personal vendetta! ”

"Your Excellency, please shut up." Before Yuqiuping could reply, Tianye Jingde directly interrupted Shigeharu Takenaka's roar coldly, and said in a somewhat angry voice: "You are not a retainer of the Yuqiu family, just a teacher that His Highness found for his child." What does the matter of Yuqiu's family have to do with you? ”

"You crow! Momiji made such a decision, was it you who instigated it! Shigeharu Takenaka scolded unceremoniously. It's good that Amano Keitoku didn't speak, but when he spoke, he immediately drew Takenaka's anger to him. Facing Shigeharu Takenaka's gaze that was almost a cannibal, Amano Keitoku looked at him coldly without changing his face.

"Momiji, this is too much... It's dangerous! Sena Shijun on the side also felt that something was wrong, "Even if Momiji really wants to avenge His Royal Highness the Governor, you can choose to use assassins to assassinate these gods and ghosts!" You don't have to get into trouble and involve the Yuqiu family in the war! ”

"Sena-sama has a point, but the Oda Nobunaga ninja guards are numerous and heavily guarded, and our military intelligence department has tried many times, but has not found an opportunity for assassination." Sanada Masayuki sighed and added in a low voice: "If you want to assassinate him, you can only mobilize a large army to besiege him, otherwise there will be no chance." ”

"There's no room for it..."Sena was still a little unbearable, "No matter what, you don't have to use such a dangerous scheme!" Damnation! ”

"The arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent." Sanada Masayuki replied to Sena Yoshiyoshi, "The veterans of Tokiwabi were involved in the fact that we mixed gunpowder into the castle tower of Sumamata Castle. And the news that we plan to use the castle tower to blow up Oda Nobunaga is now known to many ninjas. If you don't do it at this moment, you will inevitably have long nights and dreams. In the unlikely event that someone informs or Sumamata Castle is subsequential, there is a risk that the plan will be leaked. When the time comes, Oda Nobunaga will strike first, and we will be doomed. ”

"That's it..."Sena's Adam's apple squirmed violently, and his face turned pale. He bowed his head and said no more.

·

Seeing that Sena Yoshiyoshi, who had the same opinion as him, stopped talking, Shigeharu Takenaka couldn't help but be a little anxious, he didn't want to see his best friend do such a hurtful thing.

"Momiji!" Shigeharu Takenaka's tone of speech this time was close to pleading, he was no longer reasonable, but said in a low voice: "Do you remember the time we talked with Nagamasa under the stars back then? ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his eyes, which were extremely firm just now, were slightly shaken.

"Your Excellency, please shut up!" Seeing that Yu Qiuping seemed to be a little shaken, Amano Jingde immediately shouted that Takenaka was re-governed. However, to his surprise, Yu Qiuping quietly waved his hand at him, nodded to Shigeharu Takenaka, and motioned for Shigeharu Takenaka to continue. Shigeharu Takenaka was stunned for a moment, tears began to flicker faintly in his eyes, and he continued to whisper:

"You said Momiji, the world keeps repeating the cycle of chaos. The old regime was corrupt and dark, and the new regime established a new regime by killing and fighting brutally. And when this regime decays again, a new regime will rise up to overthrow it. ”

"You said that every new dynasty was established by dark means. The overlords, in order to achieve victory, did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of countless innocent people, did not hesitate to use dark and dirty means, and did not hesitate to take revenge on their relatives. And the process of the establishment of the dynasty was written into history and passed on by word of mouth. Dark memories are passed on to future generations. Cast a dark shadow over the world! ”

"You said that when the old dynasty encountered a crisis and fell into turmoil, most of the heroes and heroes did not think about how to use justice to correct the world and save the crisis. Instead, he wanted to defeat the enemy by dark means like his predecessors, overthrow the previous dynasty, replace it, first chaos and then rule, and unify the world. This has been the case for generations. ”

"You said that the root of the cycle of chaos lies in the fact that every time the world comes, it is by fighting and killing in darkness, not by light and righteousness! When future generations seek to rule the world, they will naturally use iron and blood to try to establish a new regime, and the world will be plunged into war. ”

"You said that the cycle of chaos is divided for a long time. But every time there is a change of dynasty, it will bring endless disasters to the people. Hundreds of bones expose the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. However, every hero who unified the whole country thought about how to defeat the enemy and establish his own dynasty and give peace to the people for the time being. But they did not think about how to end this cycle of chaos and end the suffering of the people forever. ”

Shigeji Takenaka poured out tears one after another, which made Yu Qiuping's eyes not only red.

"What is the difference between the rebellion you want, the explosion you want, the war you want, these cruel methods full of blood, darkness and killing, and those overlords you condemn? What are you not repeating the cycle of chaos? You rely on conspiracy and killing to ascend to power, how can you convince the public? Even if you succeed, sooner or later, someone will use conspiracy and killing to seize Owari again and overthrow the Yuqiu family! Shigeharu Takenaka shook his head and looked at Yu Qiuping.

"You said you wanted to be the one who ended the cycle of chaos," Shigeharu Takenaka chuckled, tears streaming down the man's face, "You said that you would rely on light and justice to correct the world, so that the people of the world would not have to suffer anymore." ”

"And now, and now!" Shigeharu Takenaka paused, and sighed in a voice of great disappointment and absurdity: "The person who vowed to return the peace to the people back then wanted to take away the hard-won peace of the people with his own hands, and then push the world into the abyss of the cycle of chaos again. ”

·

"yes, you're right, half-guard." Yu Qiuping laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head helplessly.

"Am I just becoming the kind of person I used to hate? For the sake of their goals, those people will do whatever it takes, sparing the lives of soldiers and civilians, and wantonly resort to conspiracy and killing to fulfill their wishes. And what is the difference between what I am doing now and theirs? ”

"Back then, I was still too young and naïve." Yu Qiuping recalled his youthful appearance nearly ten years ago, the naïve and kind, always thinking about the good old man in the world, and he also had mixed feelings for a while, "I couldn't withstand the washing of the troubled times, and I succumbed to the darkness." ”

"Well, even if I have become like this," Yu Qiuping wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered in a sad tone: "You few, who else wants to follow me?" If you want to leave, you can leave immediately, and I will not pursue it. ”

"Wherever Your Highness goes, follow him." Naoe Tadahei, who had been silent, was the first to speak at this moment, his tone was so firm and unwavering, "The only thing left in my life is to follow His Highness. ”

"I will follow His Highness to the death and never waver." Amano Keitoku also said coldly.

"Your Highness will take me with trust, and I will repay Your Highness with loyalty." Sanada Masayuki arched his hand towards Yu Qiuping and whispered firmly.

"Although I don't support Momiji's rebellion..."When it was Sena's turn to speak, the latter took a deep breath and whispered with great difficulty, "But seeing that after so many years, you still take the hatred of the late Imperial Highness of the Governor to heart... I'm going to follow you, I just hope you don't do it again. ”

After the four of them finished speaking, the room fell silent. Shigeharu Takenaka and Kaede Imagawa both bowed their heads and were silent. Yu Qiuping felt a pain in his heart, but he still pretended to be indifferent and whispered: "What about you? ”

"Momiji." Shigeharu Takenaka looked at Yu Qiuping with eyes full of disappointment, and shook his head helplessly, "The Tao is not the same, I can only say goodbye to you." ”

"This kind of thing happens, and no one wants it to happen." Even though Yu Qiuping felt uncomfortable in his heart, his face still tried his best to maintain calm.

"It's just a pity that I can't teach the eldest prince anymore." Shigeharu Takenaka sighed and whispered a little lonely: "That kid is a good person, very kind, and compassionate. ”

"It's the same as the old autumn leaves."

Listening to Shigeharu Takenaka's words of great loss, the tears that Yu Qiuping had just wiped away suddenly came out again. He endured his grief and moved his gaze in the direction of Kaede Imagawa, but he was suddenly stunned halfway.

"Feng'er, what about you?" When Yu Qiuping asked this sentence, his voice was already trembling. He didn't dare to look into Kaede Imagawa's eyes, or even listen to Kaede Imagawa's answer.

After Yu Qiuping asked this sentence, he could feel the body of Kaede Imagawa, who was sitting beside him, tremble violently. A moment later, a low sobbing sounded beside him.

"I'm sorry... Flat. Kaede Imagawa's voice was so weak and helpless, "This may be the last time I call you flat..."

"You're like that... I don't like it anymore. ”
