Chapter 350: Gifts
When Yuakihei and Imagawa Kaede returned home, they saw two children who had been beaten and had blue noses and swollen faces, Ryuko who was distressed to the point of tears, and Tadashi Honda, who had a gloomy face.
"Your Highness, you have a negative entrustment, and you can't watch the two sons, so that the two sons are fighting with people outside." When Honda Tadakatsu saw Yu Qiuping coming back, he immediately bowed deeply, "Please also ask His Highness to surrender his guilt." ”
"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't Ryuko on duty today, you don't have to be like this." ”
"As the leader of the guards, the dragon son is also a subordinate below, and the dereliction of duty of the dragon son is also the lack of strictness under the royal command." Honda Tadakatsu still whispered without smiling, "Please also ask Your Highness to punish you." ”
"Okay, I can't blame you for this, obey my orders." Yu Qiuping patted Honda Tadashi on the shoulder, and then squatted down and sat down next to Yu Qiuyu and Yu Qiuyou. The dragon on the side hurriedly knelt on the ground, whimpering in a low voice and pleading guilty to Yu Qiuping.
"Dad, you can't blame Sister Longzi for this!" Although Yu Qiuyou was beaten not lightly, and even spoke with a gasping "hiss" sound, he took the initiative to take the blame very responsibly and said: "I was greedy for fun, and I kept grinding Sister Longzi and asked her to let us out." Dad, if you want to blame, just blame me alone! ”
"Dare to act, but it's a bit of a man." Yu Qiuping looked directly into Yu Qiuyou's eyes, "But the fight outside is not the husband's doing." ”
"The child knows it's wrong." Yu Qiuyou lowered his head apologetically, but argued with a strong argument: "But it was Shibata Sanzaemon who scolded his father and brother first, and You'er couldn't help but do it!" ”
"Oh?" Yu Qiuping frowned and stood up suddenly. And Imagawa Kaede also stood up with anger on his face.
"Did the son of the Shibata family beat you?" Yu Qiuping struggled to suppress his anger and whispered in as smooth a voice as possible. "I'm going to settle accounts with them."
Just when Yu Qiuyou raised his head expectantly, intending to watch his parents go to help him out, his brother, who had been silent beside him, suddenly spoke:
"Dad, don't do this!" Yu Qiuyan hurriedly whispered, and at the same time pulled Yu Qiuping's trouser leg with his left hand, "When we fought before, we made an appointment with Shibata Childi, no matter what happened in the end, we wouldn't go back to find our parents!" Didn't Dad always educate his children to do what he said? ”
"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that in this era, there is such a rule as "don't go to your parents if you cry". He looked at Kaede Imagawa with some astonishment, who also happened to look back.
So, neither of them noticed the movements of the two children - Yu Qiuyou looked at Yu Qiuyou in surprise, and Yu Qiuyu quietly made a silent gesture, and then quickly leaned into Yu Qiuyou's ear and whispered quickly:
"Dad happened to visit Shibata's house today and wanted to make friends with them. If we make trouble again because of our business, Dad's previous efforts will be useless. ”
Yu Qiuyou was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickered when he looked at his brother, and then nodded quickly.
At this time, Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede also confirmed each other's meaning through eye contact. So, Imagawa Kaede also sat down, touched the wounds on Yu Qiuyan and Yu Qiuyou's faces with his hands in distress, and asked softly, "Since the two of you have agreed, we won't look for it anymore." But you're also old, you have to learn to protect yourself, don't fight with others outside, don't hear it! ”
"But it's really annoying!" Yu Qiuyou shouted dissatisfied, because his body shook and touched the wound, and there was another gasp. He pursed his lips and continued to speak loudly: "They call Dad a traitor!" Also scolded! Still! Still... Scolding...", however, as he spoke, his voice gradually became quieter, until the final slurred.
"What are you scolding?" Yu Qiuping raised his voice and asked.
"And scolded... Uh..."Yu Qiuyou wanted to speak and stopped, lowered his head, and played with his fingers with some anxiety.
"What are you scolding?" Yu Qiuping seemed to sense that something was wrong, and looked at Yu Qiuyou with suspicious eyes.
And Yu Qiuyou, who was sitting next to Yu Qiuyou, also stared at his younger brother's appearance, and couldn't stop feeling sad in his heart. Because he has not had a right hand since he was a child, he has always been very sensitive emotionally. He understood that his brother was worried about hurting him, so he refused to say that Shibata Sanzaemon called him a "waste".
However, his brother's hesitation didn't make up for his bleeding heart.
If the younger brother doesn't care about his disability, if the younger brother doesn't feel that the missing hand is a very serious matter, how can he hesitate so much?
In other words, in fact, my brother also thinks I am disabled. It's just that because of love and affection, I can't bear to say it.
"No, no, that's not what my brother thinks." Yu Qiuyan shook his head suddenly, dispelling the strange thoughts in his heart. For as long as he can remember, all the people around him have shown concern and worry about his disability, except for his younger brother, who has always treated him as an ordinary person.
This is his dependence.
What my brother can't say, I'll say it myself,
·
"They called me a cripple." Yu Qiuyan silently spoke, interrupting his father and younger brother's questioning and prevarication with words as cold as ice.
Yu Qiuyou's eyes flashed, and after a moment of surprise, Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede immediately looked at Yu Qiuyu cautiously—the latter did not look like a six- or seven-year-old child with a calm expression. However, the calmer his appearance became, the more distressed Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede became—they hoped that Yu Qiuyu would cry happily because he was being discriminated against, instead of this.
What really made Yuqiu hesitate was not Shibata Sanzaemon's contempt, but the sadness of his parents.
"Don't listen to those children." Imagawa Kaede slowly moved to Yu Qiuyan's side, hugged his small body into his arms, put his chin on his shoulder, and gently stroked Yu Qiuyan's back, "Yan'er is a good boy, be good, don't be sad." And Mom and Dad are with you. ”
She gently coaxed Yu Qiuyan over and over again, but Yu Qiuyan was just silent. After a long time, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Mom, why did you cripple me?" ”
Kaede Imagawa's words stopped abruptly, and the hand that was touching his back shook violently.
"Why was I born without a right hand... When I was a kid, everyone lied to me and said it didn't matter. Yuqiu babbled and complained about the grievances and unwillingness in her heart for so many years, "But I can't do anything well, my health is not good, my writing is not good, and I am not good at practicing swords... It will be looked down upon by everyone and regarded as a cripple by everyone..."
"Mourning, don't say it!" Imagawa Kaede suddenly whimpered, hugged Yuqiu's young body tightly, and tears burst out of his eyes.
"It's Mom, I'm sorry for you..."

Around the time of the Chinese New Year, Mikawa sent someone to deliver a gift that Yu Qiuping had booked for Honda Tadashi for a long time. When buying a gift for Ryuko before, Yu Qiuping once offered to buy a sword and armor for Honda Tadakatsuya. However, the latter said that as a samurai of the Matsudaira family, he could not accept weapons as gifts from other heads of the family without the permission of the lord. So, Yu Qiuping wrote to Matsudaira Ieyasu, hoping that he would be able to customize a suit of armor and weapons for Honda Tadakatsu in Mikawa.
When Yu Qiuping led someone to unpack the big bags and small bags from the Matsudaira family's carriage, he realized that he had witnessed history again—the weapons and armor he transported were the full set of Honda Tadakatsu's original history. That armor weapon that has appeared in countless novels, countless games, countless anime and film works.
The first is a antler standing hood, which is the two antlers on the helmet of Honda Tadakatsu, which everyone talked about in later generations. This helmet is dark all over, with white accents on the corners of the helmet. On the front of the helmet, a golden beast with small horns is depicted. On the upper part of the helmet, two antlers, almost a foot high, were erected, also dyed ink, which looked quite terrifying.
And his one is the famous Kuroito Viamaru. It is still dominated by black, and the dark and shiny nails are particularly imposing. The most striking thing is the large yellow rosary string tied around the foot from the right shoulder to the left waist, and a few red hemp ropes to hold the armor in place.
The most breathtaking of the entire shipment was the huge spear, the famous dragonfly cut that would later come to life. This giant beast is almost a symbol of Honda's loyalty. In its original history, it was also known as one of the three guns of Japan. He was almost a foot long, with a stout hilt decorated with green shells, and a huge blade that was sharp and reflected in the cold sunlight. According to the samurai who escorted the gift, when a dragonfly landed on the tip of the spear, it was split in half by the sharp tip of the spear due to its own weight, hence the name Dragonfly Cut.
And with it, there is also a war horse with a dark body - Three Kingdoms Black. The horses were strong and powerful, and their eyes revealed an unruly domineering spirit, and they were snorting incessantly. Matsudaira Ieyasu also ordered a fine Nota sword for Honda Tadakatsu, but Honda Tadakatsu stubbornly insisted on using the katana left behind by his father, so he asked the samurai who sent the weapon to bring it back.
When Honda Tadashi put on this outfit with the help of the guards, Yu Qiuping immediately felt extremely shocked, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it. The sturdy Honda Tadashi was dressed in dark armor, and the giant spear in his hand made people feel extremely depressed, like a ruthless killer, exuding a strong aura of slaughter. This is Honda Tadashi in the history of the previous life, and Honda Tadakatsu has appeared in countless games, anime, and film and television works.
The invincible god of killing, a fierce general who has never been wounded in and out of the battlefield fifty-seven times. In his previous life, when Yu Qiuping was playing the games of the "Sengoku Warriors" series, whenever he saw this samurai in black armor appear, he always subconsciously pulled his horse and walked away - because he knew that his stats were exaggerated, and the character controlled by the player would never be able to beat him.
At this moment, the familiar feeling of oppression welled up in my heart. However, after a while, it turned into a sense of pride and steadfastness.
Because in this life, he is my partner.
It's a pity that you can't wear a red leaf on the pitch-black armor.
