After the martial arts tournament, Yu Qiuyan was taken back to Wakae Castle by Morita Sho and other guards of the Hatakeyama family. Yuakihei and Kaede Imagawa are going to spend one night in Kyoto, and tomorrow morning they will return to Maple Mountain Castle.

Kyoto's homes are quaint and interesting. Imagawa Kaede shrank in Yu Qiuping's arms after a cloud and rain with Yu Qiuping, and fell asleep sweetly. Yu Qiuping looked down, and Imagawa Kaede's white shoulders and plump breasts with ruddy roamed eyes, which caused him to have a burst of heat on his body. He pulled the quilt and covered Kaede Imagawa's shoulders, worried that she would catch a cold at night.

·

I don't know what time I slept until I fell asleep, and Yu Qiuping suddenly woke up in his sleep. Imagawa Kaede beside him seemed to be disturbed by Yu Qiuping's movements, stretched his waist sleepily, and asked softly, "Ping, what's wrong?" ”

Yu Qiuping himself was also in a trance, but his body seemed to be out of his control, and he was pushed to stand up by an inexplicable force. Then, he walked straight out the door.

"What's wrong?" Imagawa Kaede was also awakened by Yu Qiuping's movements, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Don't worry." Although Yu Qiuping's own body was still inexplicably moving forward, he turned his head and smiled at Imagawa Kaede, trying to reassure her, "I'll go to the toilet." ”

However, as he said this, his steps suddenly became faster, and the scenery around him instantly became blurred, and only a paper door remained in front of him—it was the room of Asai Nagamasa who lived across the corridor from him. In the evening, he and Kaede Imagawa also had dinner with Asai Nagamasa and Mr. and Mrs. Aichi in this elegantly furnished room.

He hurried to the door and slammed the paper door open, revealing not the familiar room, but an open space—the room that had been there was gone. And in the middle of the open field, stands the burning Kotani Castle Castle Tower!

Yu Qiuping was shocked and rushed towards the castle tower in a panic. He jumped over several overturned beams and weaved between the tongues of fire, the heat of which made him feel like he was about to evaporate. He shuttled through the corridors of the castle tower of Kotani Castle, going upstairs, going in circles, going upstairs again, circle after circle, and finally rushed to the top floor of the castle tower, where Asai Nagamasa lived. Even though she was still standing outside the door, the mournful cry of the woman in the house was so clear—it was the voice of Ah Shi.

As soon as he opened the paper door, he saw Asai Nagamasa, dressed in white, standing in the middle of the burning room, facing the moonlight outside the window, wiping a sharp rib. And Ah Ichi was disheveled, kneeling on the floor, hugging Asai Nagamasa's thighs tightly, and he was already crying into a tearful man.

"Brother?" "Brother Momiji?" After seeing Yu Qiuping appear, Ah Shi and Asai Nagamasa changed their heads and exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Momiji! Go and persuade His Highness the Governor! As soon as Ah Shi saw Yu Qiuping coming, he stretched out his hand and wailed as if he saw a life-saving straw, "I don't want him to die!" He's going to cut his stomach! Persuade him together. I can persuade my brother not to embarrass His Highness Changzheng! Your Highness, I beg you not to die! ”

"Brother, you quickly take Ah Shi away. The castle tower is on fire, and it will be dangerous if you don't leave. However, although Asai Nagamasa also had tears in his eyes, he resolutely said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness! Ah Shi has never begged anyone in his life, and this time he is a concubine and begging His Highness! After Ah Shi heard Asai Nagamasa say this, tears instantly gushed out again, "Ah Shi is willing to be with you for the rest of his life, even if he has no freedom for a lifetime, it doesn't matter if he is under house arrest!" We still have Chacha, Ah Chu, Shin Jiulang, and Ah Jiang! They're still young, they can't live without their father! What should they do when you leave, what should they do with the concubine! ”

"Ashi..."Asai Nagamasa listened to Achi's crying, and the tears of the two rows of men slowly flowed down his cheeks. However, the sound of tongues of fire devouring wood around him became more and more violent, urging him not to delay any longer. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly squatted down, gently dropped a kiss on Ah Shi's miserable white lips, looked at Ah Shi's red and swollen eyes, and suddenly smiled.

He stretched out his hand, helped Ah Shi straighten his messy hair, and said softly in the gentlest tone of his life:

"Ah Shi, you are so beautiful."

Then, the hand that helped Ah Shi to arrange his hair fell violently and smashed heavily on the back of Ah Shi's neck.

"I love you."

Ah Shi's body shook suddenly, and his eyes were full of surprise and pity. With the last of her strength and will, she glanced at Asai Nagamasa deeply, as if she wanted to engrave his appearance deeply in her mind.

Ah Shi's body was helplessly paralyzed in Asai Nagamasa's arms, and a crystal clear tear also slipped down Asai Nagamasa's cheek and onto Ah Shi's delicate face. Asai Nagamasa slowly put the fainted Aichi on the floor, and then pretended to be strong and whispered to Yu Qiuping: "Brother, I'm causing you trouble." Ah Shi and the children, please leave it to you. ”

Then, a cold light flashed.

·

"Changzheng!"

Yu Qiuping screamed and woke up violently in his sleep.

"Is it a dream?" Yu Qiuping covered his head in severe pain and muttered to himself a little dazedly.

Imagawa Kaede beside him seemed to be disturbed by Yu Qiuping's movements, stretched his waist sleepily, and asked softly, "Ping, what's wrong?" ”

However, this sentence was the same as in the scene just now, and the exact same action made Yu Qiuping fall into an ice cave in an instant.

Which one is a dream? Which is reality?

He sat up suddenly, but his body trembled uncontrollably. Almost out of his control, he stood up and walked straight to the door.

"What's wrong?" Imagawa Kaede was also awakened by Yu Qiuping's movements, "Is something wrong?" ”

"Don't worry..."Although his voice trembled a little, Yu Qiuping, who walked to the door, still turned his head hard and smiled at Imagawa Kaede, "I'll go to the toilet." ”

After saying this, he gently closed the door to the room. Then, he immediately strode towards Asai Nagamasa's house. The pace is getting faster and faster, and by the end it is close to sprinting. He rushed to the door of Asai Nagamasa in one breath and pressed his hand on the doorknob of Asai Nagamasa's room-

But suddenly he didn't dare to open the door.

Or rather, he did not dare to face the history of his past life. Don't dare to face the fact that it is very likely to happen.

Just when his face was warlike and his body couldn't stop trembling, a little girl's voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"Mom, there are suddenly heavy footsteps outside! What's going on! ”

That's the sound of Cha Cha.

The little girl's coquettish voice suddenly made Yu Qiuping feel at ease.

"Chacha, don't be afraid, someone may get up in the morning to go to the toilet." Ashi's silver bell-like voice came next, "It's still early, it's just the beginning of the hour, Cha Cha is good, sleep for a while." ”

"Cha Cha can't sleep!"

"Cha Cha is not good like this, you see how well Ah Chu sleeps." Ah Shi was slightly reproachful, but his voice full of love sounded again.

"That's because Ah Chu didn't go to watch Brother Yin's game together! Brother Yan was so powerful yesterday! Cha Cha said excitedly, and seemed to wave two small hands.

"Okay Cha Cha, don't make a noise until my sister sleeps." Asai Nagamasa's gentle but down-to-earth male voice also sounded immediately, and he seemed to touch the little girl's head, "Listen to my mother." ”

·

Yu Qiuping stood outside the door, listening to the happy and warm conversation of the family in the house. He could hear every word clearly, but he couldn't remember a word.

Because in his heart, there was a voice that was constantly yelling, as if trying to wake himself up.

If you don't do something, you won't hear such conversations again.

If history repeats itself, this happy and warm family will soon be shattered. This family will each embark on their own tragic life and will never go back.

Yu Qiuping did not hesitate, turned his head and left, without caring about the pajamas on his body, but walked directly towards Oda Nobunaga's residence. After explaining to the guard on duty at the door that he wanted to be seen immediately, the guard on duty went in to report.

After a while, the guards let Yu Qiuping in.

When Yuakihei entered the room, he found Oda Nobunaga, also wearing pajamas, leaning on the table with sleepy eyes. As soon as he saw Yu Qiuping, he demonstratively waved the folding fan in his hand, and scolded with a smile: "Call Yu up early in the morning, if you can't say anything important about the red leaves, Yu will find someone to beat you!" Oh no, Yu just find someone to wake you up in the middle of the night. ”

"Yes, my lord." After Yu Qiuping bowed solemnly, he sat down very regularly. Oda Nobunaga also frowned slightly when he saw that Yu Qiuping was so formal, and began to become serious.

"The lord is good, and he has the courage to speculate on his intentions, I wonder if the lord is going to do something to the Asakura family?" Yu Qiuping didn't have the heart to talk about it, and went straight to the point.

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga was stunned when he heard this, and then chuckled twice and said, "How can you see it?" ”

"At the tea party a few days ago, His Royal Highness Asakura did not come, and no one from the Asakura family even came. Such a move is a great disrespect to the Oda family. Yu Qiuping paused, and said in a low voice again: "I thought that the main guild was furious, but it turned out that the lord was not. In his vain speculation, the lord may have expected that His Royal Highness Asakura would not come. This banquet was deliberately set up to make the Asakura family fall under the pretext of 'ignoring the general's orders', so that the family could justifiably conquer the Asakura family. ”

"Momiji understands me! Hahahaha..."After Yu Qiuping finished talking about his speculation, Oda Nobunaga immediately laughed with satisfaction, "I only discussed this matter with Sado, but I didn't expect you to understand what I mean!" Good, good! ”

"That's not the point." After Yu Qiuping saw that Oda Nobunaga actually directly agreed, his face sank and said: "If this kind of thing really happens, how does the lord plan to take care of the position of the Asai family?" ”

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga raised his sword eyebrows when he heard this, and stared at Yuqiu Ping with eagle-like eyes, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The Asai family is both an ally of our Oda family and an ally of the Asakura family. If the Oda family and the Asakura family were to fight each other, it would be very difficult! What is Your Highness going to do? Ignoring Oda Nobunaga's forced gaze, Yu Qiuping asked anxiously.

After saying this, Oda Nobunaga didn't reply immediately, and Yu Qiuping didn't know what to continue asking, and the air in the room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became a little weird. Beads of sweat poured down Akihei's forehead, and he didn't understand what Oda Nobunaga's silence meant. Does he really want to settle the Asai family and the Asakura family together as in history?

After a long time, Oda Nobunaga suddenly knocked heavily on Yu Qiuping's head with a folding fan, and then said with a smile: "I know, your kid is the brother-in-law of Nagamasa, and he has an old relationship with the Asai family, and the marriage between Nagamasa and Ashi was also brokered by you, so I have a good relationship with the Asai family, so I'm worried about them, right?" ”

"Don't worry, the Asai family is a loyal ally of my Oda family, and they have done their best for the Oda family in several wars, and they are not the same as the Asakura family with evil intentions." Oda Nobunaga's words made Yu Qiuping's hanging heart gradually relax, "And Asai Nagamasa and Asakura Yoshikei's mixed wine bag and rice bag are different, he is the dragon and phoenix among people, otherwise how could Yu marry Yu's precious sister to him?" Yu values him very much and regards him as Yu's assistant in assessing troubled times. Yu's pace is very fast, and he needs those heroes who can keep up with Yu's pace, how can he let go of such a good talent? ”

"Don't worry." Oda Nobunaga repeated with a smile, patting Akihei on the shoulder and promising again, "Yu will not do anything to the Asakura family without the permission of the Asai family." I will definitely not tear my face with the Asai family for the sake of Asakura Yoshikage. ”

"In this way, I can rest assured." Yu Qiuping kowtowed again and again with relief, and said with sincere gratitude: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Yes, in the history of this life, the cooperation between the Asai family and the Oda family was far closer than that of Yu Qiuping's previous life. Oda Nobunaga's respect for Asai Nagamasa, the bond between the Oda family and the Asai family, must also be far greater than in the previous life.

History will not repeat itself. My lord promised me, didn't he?
