In fact, to be honest, Oda Nobunaga gave himself such courtesy and respect, and it can be regarded as a good time to treat the rain and autumn. But from the very beginning, Yu Qiuping came with the intention of revenge on him. Oda Nobunaga's overtures were doomed to be meaningless.

After Yuqiuhei and Naoe Tadahei made up their minds, they returned to the cabin. Takigawa Yiyi's face showed a slight look of impatience, but Lin Xiuzhen looked as usual, smiling as always.

No wonder he has no ability, and he has been able to mix under the talented Oda Nobunaga for so many years. Yu Qiuping sighed secretly, I guess the image of this good old man has helped a lot.

"I don't know His Royal Highness Yuqiu, can you make up your mind?" Lin Xiuzhen asked with a smile.

"Thank you for your kindness!" After Yuqiu Ping sat upright, he solemnly bowed, "I am willing to dedicate my loyalty to the Oda family!" ”

"Good!" Lin Xiuzhen's old face suddenly blossomed, "This is not in vain for the family governor to value His Royal Highness Yuqiu." The help of His Royal Highness Yuqiu from the Oda family is also like a tiger's wings! ”

"In that case, the old man won't bother much." After Lin Xiuzhen helped Yu Qiuping up, she also straightened her hem and stood up, "His Royal Highness Takikawa will act as an introducer and lead His Highness to meet His Royal Highness the Governor." He may also serve as the family's target payment group and ask His Royal Highness Yuqiu some questions, and hope that His Highness will not be surprised. ”

"Yes." Yuqiu paralleled a subordinate who had seen the superior's salute. However, what surprised him a little was that he thought that Lin Xiuzhen, who was the head of the pen family, would take him to meet Oda Nobunaga as an introducer, which would also be a great achievement for Lin Xiuzhen. But I didn't expect Lin Xiuzhen to give up the credit to Takigawa Yiyi, and I don't know if this was Oda Nobunaga's arrangement or some other reason.

After Takigawa Kazuki and Yu Qiuping, Naoe Tadahei nodded in greeting, Lin Xiuzhen walked out of the cabin. However, before leaving, this person, who had always behaved in a decent manner, suddenly smiled slightly and stopped when he passed by Naoe Tadahei.

"Lord Naoe," Lin Xiuzhen said softly as if nothing had happened, "I'll wait and see what you want." ”

With that, he turned around and left, leaving Yu Qiuping and Naoe Tadahei confused and looking at each other.

After Lin Xiuzhen left, Yu Qiuping led all the officers to meet Takigawa Yiyi. Takigawa Kazuki is not only the leader of the Oda family's group and ninjas, but also the general of the Oda family's future strategy for Ise, and he is still a person with a very high status, and Yu Qiuping feels the need to have a good relationship with him and clear up misunderstandings - after all, Yu Qiuping's future plan is to rebel. If the intelligence head at home has a bad relationship with him, it is not a good thing to stare at himself all day long.

However, Yu Qiuping, who has always been sincere, wants to say flattering words, which is really awkward. Even though Yu Qiuping has been praising Takigawa Kazuyi, Takigawa Kazuyi's attitude towards himself is still very cold and he doesn't respond too much.

Suddenly, Takigawa Kazuyi swept his eyes and saw a blonde and blue-eyed teenager among the officers.

"Your Excellency is the famous Southern Barbarian Archer in the Yuqiu Family's army?" Takigawa Kazuyi pondered for a moment and asked the question.

"It's an honor to receive your compliment," Charlie nodded, "if you're referring to the archer who almost shot you in Zhili Castle for two years, then he's me." ”

Charlie, who usually doesn't like to socialize much, was stunned by the words, which suddenly made Yu Qiuping's face like earth, and the atmosphere in the cabin was very delicate all of a sudden. Just now, Yu Qiuping has been trying to avoid the topic of the two families fighting each other in Zhili City, so as not to embarrass each other. After all, that battle was fought fiercely, Takigawa Yiyi was attacked by Yu Qiuping's fire, suffered heavy losses, and many samurai were shot by Charlie himself, and it is estimated that he has not slowed down for a long time.

Suddenly bringing up this topic in this case is really to uncover the scars of Takigawa Kazuyi. Yu Qiuping hurriedly wanted to divert the topic, but Takigawa Kazuki didn't seem to care, and responded: "That's right, it's Your Excellency." ”

"Your Highness Takigawa, I have to say that you have a very loyal squire," Charlie praised sincerely, "and it was he who blocked the fatal arrow for you, which I thought would not have missed." ”

The more Yu Qiuping listened to Charlie's words, the cooler his heart became, this guy usually doesn't like to socialize with everyone, he practices arrows alone, and his emotional intelligence is obviously not qualified. Okay now.,Basically, every sentence is aimed at provoking Mao Takigawa Yiyi.。

To Yuqiuping's surprise, Takigawa Yiyi didn't seem to have any objection to this, but just sighed sadly and said in a low voice: "That was originally the future life I planned to focus on cultivating, but I didn't expect to leave like that." ”

"I'm sorry to hear that," Charlie continued, "but as a squire, it's a great honor to die protecting my master." ”

"Your Excellency is quick to speak, but you have a very good appetite for the subordinates," Takigawa Kazuyi smiled for the first time, and then turned to Yuqiuping, "It's just that I have heard for a long time that His Highness Yuqiu is also a sincere person, why is he like a flattering villain?" Far less refreshing than this Nanban samurai. ”

Takigawa Kazuyi's words have been exported, Fukushima Yasunari, Yoshioka Katsumasa and Honda Tadashi are all discolored, glaring angrily at Takigawa Kazuki. Yu Qiuping hurriedly waved his hand to stop them, and was embarrassed to find that he was self-defeating: "This is uncomfortable, and I hope that His Highness Haihan." Not long ago, he was fighting to the death with the Oda family, but now he has to vote, for fear that His Highness will be prejudiced against him, so his attitude is lower, His Highness is not to blame. ”

"If His Royal Highness Yuqiu had spoken like this earlier, he wouldn't have been as rude as he had just been," Takigawa Kazuyi also looked like a straight gut, "As a martial artist, it is inevitable that soldiers will meet each other on the battlefield. But since His Highness already belongs to the Oda family, the past battles are naturally not to blame," Takigawa Ichiyi bowed slightly, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much. ”

Takigawa Yiyi's words made Yu Qiuping sweat coldly. Yes, although Takigawa Kazuki looks like a rough person, he is a ninja and has been observing words and expressions for many years, how can he not see if Yu Qiuping's attitude is true or false when he says flattering words? In the future, in front of him, it is better to be honest.

"Thank you, Your Highness Takikawa." Yu Qiuping said in a low voice, "It's just that I'm still worried that there will inevitably be conflicts between me and other colleagues in the future." ”

"I'm a rough man, and I won't say anything." Takigawa Yiyi shook his head, "If you want to say that everyone will treat Your Highness well, Your Highness naturally doesn't believe it." ”

"It's just that in all fairness," Takigawa Yiyi raised his head and looked at Yu Qiuping, "His Royal Highness Yuqiu's previous good deeds and promises are still very martial arts, and I admire them a lot." Other people don't dare to speculate, but they will not deliberately embarrass His Highness because of past grievances. ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He originally came to make friends with Takigawa Kazuki with an extremely utilitarian mentality, but the latter treated him sincerely. Such a contrast can't help but make Yu Qiuping's conscience a little unbearable.

On July 14, Yuakihei's fleet finally landed at Tokoname. The first thing Yu Qiuping did after he came ashore was to quickly find a place to house Imagawa Kaede, and asked her maid to immediately buy some supplements to replenish Imagawa Kaede's body.

"Feng'er," Yu Qiuping helped Imagawa Kaede to the bed, looked at the latter's haggard look and upright stomach, and asked distressedly, "Does it matter, is it better?" ”

"Don't worry, Ping," Kaede Imagawa barely squeezed out a smile, "I'm fine." ”

"Where will it be fine..."Yu Qiuping sighed and gently hugged Imagawa Kaede, "When you were pregnant, you obviously needed to rest the most, but you have been worried for more than two months, and you have dragged your body to use force, and you have also gone on a hunger strike..." I'm sorry..."

"Good, don't say that," Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping's self-blaming appearance, and couldn't help but feel very distressed. How could she not understand how much suffering Yu Qiuping had endured these days? A series of failures and blows shook his heart, and the successive departures of Yoshimoto Imagawa and Toshi Sena made him experience such pain again, having lost a loved one. Soon after, he was unjustly exiled and forced to leave the Imagawa family, where he had planned to serve for the rest of his life. So many brothers died because of him, so many brothers have been under too much pressure to follow him on the road of exile.

I can't afford to burden him anymore... Seeing him like this, I feel so distressed.

"Well, I'm fine." Imagawa Kaede gently patted Yu Qiuping's back and quietly kissed him like a dragonfly on his neck, "There are still a lot of things to deal with, go quickly, I just have Ah Ling to take care of them." ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, slightly loosened his embrace, and stared into Kaede Imagawa's eyes. He did have a lot of things to deal with, and he had to pull out at the moment.

Before leaving, he was still uneasy, and asked softly as if he wanted to get a reassuring answer, "Is it really okay?" ”

"I'm fine." Kaede Imagawa smiled. As soon as the words came out, memories suddenly flooded in. That is, what happened on the eve of the reunion of the two people.

·

Yu Qiuping turned his head a little dazedly, looking at the sadness in the girl's eyes, and suddenly his heart ached. He took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone steady, and said forcefully, "I'm fine." "I want to put her at ease.

When Imagawa Kaede heard Yu Qiuping's reply, he was stunned for a moment, laughed angrily, and overturned the table in front of Yu Qiuping. "You're okay, you're okay, you'll never be fine!" As soon as Imagawa Kaede opened his mouth, the crying leaked out of his mouth, and the originally fierce angry rebuke suddenly seemed to turn into a woman's mournful cry, "Until now, you are still reckless!" I have to bear the pain alone! Why don't you tell me! ”

"You don't understand anything at all!" The girl let out a loud roar at the end, and then her whole body was decapitated, and she fell to the ground weakly, trying to suppress her voice, and sobbed in a low voice.

·

Base... Don't understand anything?

Imagawa Kaede watched Yu Qiuping's figure gradually move away, but his thoughts kept rolling. Why am I saying so much that it's okay, why am I hiding my pain... Is it because I'm afraid he'll be worried? Isn't that the same thing he used to do?

Feelings shouldn't be for one party to suffer alone...

She suddenly remembered her mother's words.

When you fall in love with someone, it's like you're willing to turn into a red leaf for him. In front of him, he will only laugh, not cry, and all joys, sorrows, and sorrows will arise because of him. Bear all the pain in love for him, and leave him only beauty and happiness.

·

Am I turning into a red leaf...

However, looking at Yu Qiuping's tired figure who had been under too much pressure, how could he bear to add another burden to him?
