"It turned out to be Sena Yushu-sama, and it was disrespectful." After learning of Sena's identity, Matsushita Kamisa and Asai Kenmasa both saluted Sena, and at the same time understood why Yu Qiupei appeared in Mino.

"You are doing harm for the people, and I should respect you." Sena Toshitoshi arched his hand. Then, he left a few other deputies to greet them on the mountain road, and he pulled Yu Qiuping aside.

"Momiji, do you know what you did! It's too dangerous! After listening to Yu Qiuhei's story, Sena said worriedly, "I heard from the people in the town that a dozen of you went to clean up that big bandit, and I should have really scared me." ”

"Your Highness," Yu Qiuping looked at Sena's face with a sad face, and apologized embarrassedly, "I didn't tell you in advance this time, it was my fault." But I didn't really plan to clean up the bandits in the first place! I wanted to bring back those two guys who I thought were crazy, who would have thought that Panasonic-sama was so amazing that he really destroyed this bandit! ”

"It's too dangerous after all, be careful next time." Sena Shijun shook his head, "But through this opportunity, Momiji was fortunate enough to meet the young master of the Asai family, and then went to visit the Asai family, and there was also someone to introduce him, which brought a lot of convenience to the family." ”

"That young master of the Asai family seems to be a righteous madman." Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "I pay special attention to the righteousness of the samurai, and I am also very dissatisfied with the oppression of the Asai family by the Rokkaku family, so it is estimated that it is very likely to cooperate with us." ”

"By the way, when are you going to let those people go?" Sena asked.

"Oops! I was so busy just now that I forgot about it! Yu Qiuping patted his head and said to the dozen or so partners who were born and died together over there, "Jingde, you lead the way, let's hurry up and loosen those people." Kenmasa Asai and Matsushita also nodded in agreement, urging Amano Keitoku to lead the way.

Amano Jingde was stunned for a moment and looked around coldly.

"What does this expression mean?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise.

"It's been loosened." Amano Keitoku said without emotion. Just then, his crow suddenly wailed, flew back from the woods, and landed on his shoulder.

"Huh? When did you loosen your ties? Yu Qiuping didn't remember that Amano Jingde had left, and looked over unexpectedly.

Suddenly, he noticed that the beak of Amano's crow was covered with bright red blood.

"Jingde! What did you do with them! Yu Qiuping suddenly came to his senses and asked anxiously. Kenmasa Asai and Matsushita on the side also frowned and looked over. Sanada Masayuki sighed slightly and walked behind Amano.

"Killed." Tianye Jingde raised his head, staring at Yu Qiuping with cloudy eyes, "After killing, the corpse will be thrown off the cliff." ”

"Jingde, you!" Yu Qiuping was about to have a seizure, but he didn't think about it, Matsushita, who had always looked quiet and thin, rushed forward lightly and grabbed Amano Jingde's collar. He had always been calm before, but now his face was full of anger, and his eyes were almost spewing fire.

"Why are you doing this..."Matsushita asked lightly, her voice trembling a little.

"Because they know everyone's whereabouts." Amano replied in a muffled voice, "I'm worried that they will leak secrets and put everyone in danger." ”

"But they've been tied up and their mouths have been plugged!" Kenmasa Asai yelled, "What a leak! ”

"If a bandit comes this way, I can't be sure that I'll repel the bandits, and I'm not sure I'll kill them all before they kill me." Tianno Jingde shook his head, "If the bandits really come, your ambush will be leaked, and we may be wiped out." ”

"So you killed them all! Kill all the innocent people! Panasonic's light and somewhat immature voice was already full of anger, and his voice was a little hoarse, "You also said it was possible!" Is it possible that you will kill them all? ”

"That's right. I have made a decision on the safety of a dozen of us, and the lives of a dozen people. Amano Keitoku said in a low voice.

"You!" Panasonic was about to show signs of losing control, and several guards hurriedly pulled him away.

"Calm down, you two." Sena Shijun also hurried up to the round, "I probably understand your situation. Let me say that. Sena Shijun slowed down his tone, watched the few people around him gradually calm down, and said: "Jingde is my old subordinate for more than ten years, I understand his style. He did all this for your safety. Sena said, "Although it is not wrong to be cruel, there is nothing wrong with the innocent people of those dozen people, but this is his choice of last resort in this troubled world." ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered that when they were investigating near Imanomiya, Amano Keitoku had also decisively stabbed a herald to death—and he had been proven right later. His killing protected the safety of the troops. It's the same this time.

"To be reasonable, I think the Jingde brothers did the right thing." Maeda Toshiie said, "He must have known that he was killing innocents, but for everyone's safety, someone had to do it with their hands, not the Jingde brothers, maybe it was me." The police Jingde brothers took the initiative to take on this responsibility, which is quite remarkable. ”

Matsushita sighed lightly, her eyes becoming very helpless and sad. He glanced at the people around him and found that except for Yu Qiuhei and Asai Kenmasa, although the others were very regretful, they all agreed with Amano's approach.

"But the reason why we want to exterminate the bandits is because they kill innocents indiscriminately." Matsushita said lightly and sadly, "We ourselves have killed innocents indiscriminately, contrary to justice, what is the difference between us and those bandits?" And on what basis shall we destroy them? ”

"If you want to destroy the darkness, you must fall into the darkness." Tianno Jingde looked directly at Matsushita, "If you want to exterminate the bandits, you have to be more fierce than them." ”

"So what's the point of us doing this?" Matsushita shook his head lightly, "Eliminated the fierce people, but came out even more fierce people." ”

"Nope." Tianye Jingde shook his head, "This is the troubled times of the Warring States, if you want to unify the world, the Bright Avenue will not work, and it will definitely be defeated by the people in the dark using insidious means." Only by using the dark and ruthless thunderbolt means to kill rivers of blood and quickly unify the world, and push the world into the bottom of darkness and terror, the next generation of people will understand the value of peace. At that time, when the darkness had passed, a wise lord came out to give benevolent government and restore the light to the world. Amano Jingde was cloudy, his bloodshot eyes stared at Matsushita's light and clear eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Chaos first and then rule, this is my dark righteousness." ”

Amano Keide looked at Yu Qiuping, the forever kind boy. Regardless of status, whether high or low, he treats everyone with sincerity. His goodness is the hope of the light of the world, and it is also his hope. He had long decided that he would let himself fall into the darkness and do all the dirty things to protect the goodness and light of Yuqiuping.

"Either way, I won't agree with your approach." Matsushita looked at Amano Jingde lightly, and shook his head resolutely, "As a samurai, I want to uphold the righteousness of the world, destroy the unjust, and return the world to a fair and peaceful world." ”

"In order to gain profits, they fall into darkness and kill innocents, aren't they people who see profit and forget righteousness?" Matsushita asked lightly, "What qualifications does such a person have to talk about the bright world!" ”

"You are like your disgusting crow, feeding on the flesh of the dead. Where there are crows, there is death. Such a bird of death will stay in the dark for the rest of its life. Darkness will never prevail over light. This is my righteousness! He said in a deep voice, glancing at Amano Jingde. Unexpectedly, they will look at each other with such eyes for a lifetime.

With that, he angrily turned away. Kenmasa Asai sighed and left indignantly. Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and chased out.

The sky was already overcast, and darkness covered the land. On the way back to the city, Panasonic walked alone and did not say a word. Yu Qiuhei and Asai Kenmasa were also silent and followed him. And the large troops, walking further behind.

Sena sent someone to ask Yu Qiuping if they wanted to go to dinner together, but Yu Qiuping refused. The three of them walked aimlessly on the grass outside the castle town, and finally leaned against a tree together, looking at the starry sky.

"Everyone agreed with the crow's approach." Matsushita sighed lightly, "Why doesn't anyone want to believe in righteousness!" Believe in the right way of the bright world! ”

"Because those who use dark means can often gain an advantage." Kenmasa Asai said in a low voice, "The righteousness of the samurai has long been abandoned. ”

"In troubled times... Is it true that only darkness can win..."Matsushita suddenly choked up, "I have insisted on the light and righteousness for a long time, but I have never been recognized by others. Won't victory be achieved without ruthless dirty means? Couldn't a samurai win if he upheld justice? Wouldn't we be victorious if the crow hadn't killed the innocent people this time? Is light really inferior to darkness? ”

"No, it's not." Yu Qiuping, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly interrupted. Matsushita and Kenmasa Asai were stunned for a moment and looked at Yu Qiuping.

Yu Qiuping raised his head and stared at the Big Dipper that had hung in the sky forever for thousands of years. They have witnessed the division and merging of the earth for thousands of years.

"Do you know the cycle of chaos?" Yu Qiuping spoke, but it was an unrelated topic. The two nodded, "What you said is what the Han people said, a catastrophe in three hundred years?" ”

"I'm Han." Yu Qiuping nodded, "Not only our Ming Kingdom, but also in your Japan, why not a cycle of chaos?" ”

"Xia, Shang Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, your Japanese imperial court, the Taira clan, the Kamakura shogunate, and now the Ashikaga shogunate." Yu Qiuping muttered about the dynasties that appeared in history, "Every time, the old dynasties are decaying, the people are not able to make a living, or the peasants rise up, or foreign enemies invade, or important ministers usurp power, or local divisions, and the country is in turmoil." ”

"A great hero will use the dark methods that Jingde spoke of to defeat his enemies one by one, and finally unify the country and create a new dynasty. Those who are not strong enough, or dark enough, will be knocked down by him. And the new dynasty will decay again in a few hundred years, and when a new troubled era comes, there will be a new dynasty to replace him. ”

"The cycle of chaos one at a time, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time must be together. 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. ”

"If this era has not changed, the current troubled times will also be ended by a hegemon in the near future, and then start the dynasty for hundreds of years again, and start the cycle of chaos again until this dynasty is overthrown."

"Why is this happening? Why? Yu Qiuping looked at the two people beside him, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Why the hell! ”

"I've been curious since I was a child, and to this day, I seem to finally understand something." Yu Qiuping said sadly, "Because every new dynasty is 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! ”

"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. ”

"The root of the cycle of chaos lies in the fact that every time the world comes, it relies on the battle and killing of darkness, not on the righteousness of light! 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. ”

"This kind of rule by darkness will never last long." Matsushita sighed lightly, "Lord Yuqiu has real insight and has been taught here." ”

"And you just asked me if the light and righteousness really can't compare to the dark killing." Yu Qiuping looked at Panasonic lightly, "Let me tell you, in troubled times, that's how it is!" How can a humble gentleman who is open-minded, compassionate, affectionate and righteous, and will not use small means to fight ruthlessly, schemingly, and decisive careerists? ”

Matsushita and Kenmasa Asai sighed, and their expressions suddenly darkened.

"But I can't give up!" Yu Qiuping suddenly shouted, and woke up the dreamer with a word: "If no one is willing to maintain the light and righteousness to restore peace in the world, the cycle of chaos will never end!" Only by relying on light and justice to unify the world, to maintain light and justice, and to defeat all careerists who want to use dark means to win the world one by one! Leave it to future generations, only by upholding light and justice, can we end the troubled times, create a peaceful history book and memory, and lead future generations to embark on the road of light! In the future, when the dynasty faces a crisis, no one will dare to replace it with dark means, because they know that such a dark act will be attacked by the people of the world with light and righteousness! All people are eager to defend the country with the right path like their predecessors, so as to end the tragedy of this generation. ”

Matsushita Light Chaos and Asai Kenmasa are already in tears at this moment. They finally understood that the righteousness and righteousness they have always upheld are not useless - but the most valuable key, the key to ending this cycle of chaos.

"How easy is that?" Kenmasa Asai said, "When a samurai fights with an enemy, he gradually loses his righteousness. Those who uphold the righteousness of the light will eventually fall into darkness as they wrestle with it. ”

"Then use the law to sustain it!" Yu Qiuping said loudly, "Make a law that is above everyone, and even the monarch cannot escape it." The law guarantees that justice will be upheld, and anyone who does not do so will be punished! Having laws to support righteousness is enough to fight the darkness without being corrupted. ”

"How can any monarch be willing to let the law be above himself? Isn't that a cocoon? Kenmasa Asai chuckled.

"I heard." Panasonic suddenly looked at Yu Qiuping, "Lord Yuqiu is promoting the law in the territory, and he advertises that he is also under the constraints of the law, and no one can escape the law, so he has to expel Aijiang." ”

"Lord Yuqiu's speech in the territory at that time, I am also fortunate to know a thing or two." Matsushita chuckled lightly, "I also heard that no matter what kind of person Yuqiu-sama treats, he will help him sincerely and kindly. Lord Yuqiu saved more than 200 slaves, and Lord Yuqiu will go to help the people in the hostile area, and Lord Yuqiu has always been moving forward with light and righteousness. I admire it a lot, and the adult is really that kind of hero, who is willing to uphold the light and justice to help the world. ”

"You've heard so much." Yu Qiuping said with a smile.

"Please listen to me, too." Panasonic suddenly looked at Yu Qiuping very solemnly, "I think that if the tragedy of the cycle of chaos is a lock, then the light and righteousness maintained by the law is the key to unlocking the lock." ”

"And Lord Yuqiu is the one who holds the key." Panasonic lightly shook Yu Qiuping's hands, "You let me see the hope of brightness and righteousness, and the hope of ending the cycle of chaos." ”

"If one day the adults have a request, they will swear to the death!" Panasonic leaned over lightly and respectfully, and saluted Yuqiu in parallel. This worship has achieved a good story of the Warring States.

And Yu Qiuping's words were also recorded in the future and became the famous "Book of Debate and Governance" in later generations.
