Chapter 55: Couples
The afternoon after the confession, Yu Qiuping woke up the next morning and couldn't remember what he had done. The last memory is that the two hugged each other reluctantly before separation, Yu Qiuping felt nephrite in his arms, sniffed the girl's faint fragrance, and was unwilling to let go of Imagawa Kaede. After that, Yu Qiuping, who fell into ecstasy and excitement, according to Ogawa Yudong's description, went crazy without drinking.
Early the next morning, Yu Qiuhei woke up in his temporary residence in the castle tower. As soon as I opened my eyes, it was as if there was something on my face. He touched his face with his hand and found a small note. A few words were written on it in neat fly-headed letters: Good morning, Pingjun. There is also a faint scent of camellia on the paper.
Yu Qiuping suddenly felt like he was immersed in honey, and he didn't know when Imagawa Kaede sneaked in to leave a little surprise for himself. I seem to have the image of Kaede Imagawa sitting in front of his bed, looking at himself with a smile, and then putting a small note on his face.
After washing up and having breakfast, Yu Qiuping was about to leave the Imagawa family's mansion and go to his barracks through the garden next to the castle tower. But I suddenly found that behind the rockery, there seemed to be a figure flashing. Yu Qiuping quietly walked over, went around to the back of the rockery from the other direction, and saw the figure of Imagawa Kaede. The girl was resting her feet on the rockery with her hands propped up, carefully looking in the direction of the castle tower.
Yu Qiuping chuckled, lowered his footsteps and walked behind her, then stretched out his hands to cover her eyes.
The skin on the girl's face is soft and delicate. The long eyelashes tickled Yu Qiuping's palm, tickling.
"Huh!" The girl who was caught off guard sighed, and the familiar feeling behind her immediately put her mind at ease. She turned around and plunged into Yu Qiuping's arms, bent her hands to support Yu Qiuping's back, and her cheek was pressed against Yu Qiuping's chest. Yu Qiuping wrapped his arms around and hugged the girl in his arms, enjoying the fragrance of the hair around Imagawa Kaede's neck.
"You won't be discovered by the strict stables here." Imagawa Kaede smiled evilly, "When Jia Yan wanted me to practice all kinds of female celebrities, I often ran here to hide. β
"Miss, you..." As soon as Yu Qiuping spoke, Imagawa Kaede stretched out a finger and put it on Yu Qiuping's lips. It's all said, don't call it Miss! Imagawa Kaede said angrily, "Call me Kaede." β
"Well, how about calling Feng'er." Yu Qiuping asked.
"Don't, just call it Kaede." The girl turned her head.
Yu Qiuping's arms suddenly strained, and the girl in his arms immediately struggled.
"Itchy! Itchy! The girl desperately lowered her voice and exclaimed twice, the laughter like a silver bell and the squeeze on her chest stimulated Yu Qiuping unwilling to stop, "Then you promised me to call you Feng?" Yu Qiuping said with a wicked smile.
"No! Giggles..."As soon as Imagawa Kaede refused with a straight face, Yu Qiuping hugged her tightly again, and Imagawa Kaede, who was itching, had to nod aggrievedly, "Okay, okay!" I promised you! Stop it! β
Yu Qiuping let go of his hand, and the girl held the rockery with one hand, panting and not turning her head, not looking at Yu Qiuping. "You know the villain who bullied me." The girl muttered.
"I didn't expect you to be so afraid of itching." Yu Qiuping smiled proudly, "Brother Asahina has always said that no one can control you, but now I have found Feng'er's weakness!" β
"Pingjun, you dare! The next is not an example. Imagawa Kaede said angrily.
"Don't call me Pingjun," Yu Qiuping said, "Call me Ping, my parents have always called me that." β
"Alright then, Ping." The girl bowed, "I forgot to say it yesterday." Please advise, Ping. β
"Feng'er, please advise me too, my Royal Highness the Princess." Yu Qiuping's tone in the second half of the sentence suddenly became extremely solemn, pretending to be serious.
"Then, General Yuqiu." Imagawa Kaede also replied solemnly, "Are you going to perform official duties?" β
"Well, go to training." Yu Qiuping said, "Go to the barracks in the north of the city." β
"Can I go and see it?" Kaede Imagawa tilted his head and asked cutely.
"This..."Yu Qiuping was a little embarrassed for a while.
"I don't sneak out, I have to practice female celebrity at home in the morning, it's so boring." Imagawa Kaede had a mischievous expression on his face, "Since I was a child, these female celebrities, I haven't learned hard about cooking." β
"Then Feng'er, you are like this, my clothes will be torn in the future, who will make up for it?" Yu Qiuping asked with a smile.
"It turns out that Ping expressed his heart to me in order to find someone to mend his clothes." Imagawa Kaede said with a grimace, but his serious tone failed to pretend to the end, and he burst out laughing.
"Forget it, I'm going to see it anyway, and you can't stop a general." Imagawa Kaede teased, "I want to see what the army that even my family is full of praise looks like." β
"Don't worry, I'll hide in the shadows and won't cause you trouble." Imagawa Kaede added, and waved his hand to Yu Qiuping, "Let's go first." β
As soon as Yu Qiuping arrived at the barracks, he saw the figure of Kaede Imagawa on the second floor of a post station behind the side of the barracks. The latter also seemed to notice Yu Qiuping and waved at him.
After Yu Qiuping waited for a while, after more than ten miles of weight-bearing long-distance running, he entered the barracks out of breath. However, even though everyone was tired, hot and thirsty, no one dared to throw down their armor and run to the side to drink water and rest. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to escape the push-ups, but you will also have to stand again.
After the two hundred ashigaru arrived in turn according to the five squads, they were neatly arranged in a phalanx opposite the high platform where Yu Qiuping was. Although everyone was dressed roughly, they stood straight in their military posture, and one by one they did not leave any opportunity for Yu Qiuping to punish push-ups.
"All stand upright!" Yu Qiuping cleared his throat and began to form a team, "The front row with two arms raised sideways, the back row with two arms raised forward, look forward - Qi!" β
With Yu Qiuping's order, all the ashigaru quickly raised their arms in unison, stopped steadily in a horizontal position, aimed at the ashigaru in front of him, and adjusted the position with small steps.
"Forwardβlook!" Yu Qiuping gave another order, and all the ashigaru put their arms down in unison again. In order to avoid the sound of the armor colliding and being punished for push-ups, everyone suddenly withdrew at the last moment.
"All, to the right - turn around!"
After hearing the command, all the ashigaru neatly stepped back half a step with their right foot, and all of them turned to the right in unison, and then leaned on their feet sharply, making a loud sound of leaning on their feet.
"The sound of the feet is not very neat!" Yu Qiuping finally found fault with it, "All, do it all over again." Left β turn! β
"To the right - turn!"
This time, after the ashigaru people were more concentrated, their movements were flawless.
"Two side strokes in the front row, two arms in the back row, look forward - Qi!" The ashigaru who came over aligned once again in the direction of the horizontal row, and the phalanx, which was still a little scattered just now, had now been lined up horizontally and vertically.
After Yu Qiuping finished the whole team, he glanced triumphantly at the post station over there. And Imagawa Kaede, who was standing on the second floor of the post station, was watching the two hundred people in a daze at the moment, as if they were following the same steps, as if they were doing standard and standardized movements.
"Jiayan's flag team... I can't do it so neatly. Imagawa Kaede sighed with emotion, and looked at Yu Qiuping's eyes, full of admiration and admiration. Really... Ping is the real hero. β
"Forward and Team ββ!" Yu Qiuping shouted at the top of his voice again, and all the ashigaru immediately put his hands in fists at his waist, his heels slightly off the ground, and his body leaned forward, ready to make the move.
"Run!" As soon as Yu Qiuping moved, the ashigaru people, who were originally very scattered, immediately gathered towards the small phalanx in front of the central Yuqiuping, and in just a few tens of seconds, they were assembled.
"Take each squad as a unit - four horizontal columns!" After Yu Qiuping gave the order again, the five Ashigaru generals ran to the positions lined up in front of Yu Qiuping, facing Ashigaru, and raised their right arms high. Charlie's archery team was in the center, and the other four teams were flanked by two on each side. The ashigaru quickly found their own ashigaru general, and according to the daily training team, it took only a few tens of seconds to line up five four-column horizontal lines.
Such high efficiency, strong discipline and speed were not considered by the ancient army.
Yu Qiuping watched his subordinates show his hands in front of his sweetheart with satisfaction, and decided not to let them stand in a military posture for a quarter of an hour, so he clapped his hands directly and shouted: "Disband!" At the same time, he looked triumphantly towards the post again.
The ashigaru clapped their hands in unison and shouted "Scatter!" β
However, the crowd did not disperse as usual, but immediately surrounded Yuqiuping.
Nakahide Mimasaki jumped onto the stage first and asked excitedly, "My lord!" Did it work? Sister-in-law! β
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the ashigaru immediately threw one question after another frantically at Yu Qiuping, "Which girl is it?" "How's it looking?" "Are you stupid, adults are naturally beautiful!" "How old!" "When will we get married!" The overwhelming stupid questions overwhelmed Yu Qiuping at once, and in the afterglow, he could see Imagawa Kaede on the second floor of the post station smiling so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist.
"Damn!" Yu Qiuping was so angry that he couldn't do it, "Who took the lead in shouting first!" β
"Hahaha..."
After the training, Imagawa Kaede took out a towel intimately, handed Yu Qiuping a glass of water, and took the towel to help Yu Qiuping wipe the sweat off his face and forehead.
"Finally disgraced!" Yu Qiuping grunted and laughed awkwardly after drinking half a glass of water.
"What, where is the shame?" Imagawa Kaede said dissatisfied, "Ping, you're doing very well!" The troops are free to retract and release, so the naughty and troublesome troops can be neatly and silently under your discipline, which means that the soldiers you have trained are good! As he spoke, as if punishing Yu Qiuping, the hand holding the towel pinched Yu Qiuping's face fiercely.
"Let's go to lunch together at noon." Yu Qiuping invited, "Feng'er, do you have something?" β
"It's nothing, but it's best not to let others see it, otherwise Jia Yan knows that I have a sweetheart behind his back, and he has to kill me." Imagawa Kaede smiled, "Let's go buy food and come out, let's find a place where no one is around." β
"By the way, when did you come to my room this morning? I don't know. Yu Qiuping asked curiously.
"It's coming." Kaede Imagawa explained.
"Why so early! Don't you sleep? Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.
"You deceitful liar! Thanks to you for sleeping so soundly! Imagawa Kaede pouted and poked Yu Qiuping's forehead very angrily, "When I think of your confession during the day, people are so excited that they can't sleep all night," Imagawa Kaede's face suddenly turned red, avoiding Yu Qiuping's gaze, lowered his eyelids and said, "I just want to come to see you early." β
