Chapter 208: Looking Away
Back on the ship, Yu Qiuping was about to say goodbye to Itami Yasushi and his crew, who had come to see him off. Two years ago, Itami Yasukiyo returned to Suruga after accepting his injury; This time, however, it was Itami who sent his injured self away from Suruga. In the blink of an eye, the last colleague in the Imagawa family was also leaving, and the feeling of being a person made Yu Qiuping sigh.
"The first time I met you, it was also when I was injured," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "You drove a boat to Sanhe to pick me up." β
"Alas, it's been two years," Itami Kangqing also smiled when he heard this, "Now that I think about it, I still think it was the same as what happened yesterday." At that time, Momiji was still a child with a sad face, but in a blink of an eye, he had matured a lot. β
"At that time, Kangqing was determined to pacify the Japanese Sea Frontier," Yu Qiuping looked at the rippling blue waves and boundless sea, "What now?" β
"I will never forget this ambition in my life." Itami Kangqing also followed Yu Qiuping's gaze and looked at the junction of the sea and the sky.
"You're going back to Suruga too," Yu Qiuping stood by the dock and patted Itami on the shoulder, "When you go back, remember to say hello to my eldest brother and them for me." β
"I'm afraid Momiji is going to ask someone else to bring you a message." Itami Kangqing shook his head slightly.
"What's the matter, are you still angry with the Bina family?" Yu Qiuping said with relief. After the Asahina family announced their decision to support the Imagawa family, Itami Yasukiyoshi, Okuhira Sadakichi, and Imamiya Raku, several juniors, were very dissatisfied with Asahina's behavior, believing that it betrayed their friends. "Even if you haven't lost your breath, it's not my eldest brother's fault. He guess he was the one who was most dissatisfied with him. β
"It's not because of this," Itami Yasukiyo's gaze suddenly became deeper, looking at the distant sea, "I'm leaving, not going back to Suruga." β
"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was startled, and after being stunned for a long time, he remembered the conversation with Itan Kangqing two years ago. He seems to have mentioned to Itami Yasuqing that the Western warships are very powerful, which made Itami Yasuqing haunt the Nanban from then on.
Β·
"Kangqing," after a few days of getting along, the two were already good friends who called their names, "I'm afraid it will take a few years to go back and forth." β
"So what, it's time to go out for a good time? What do you say, Momiji. "Itami looked at the vast ocean to the west, and seemed to be able to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to see directly the Iberian warships described by Yu Qiuping.
Β·
"Are you really going to Europa?" Yu Qiuping was surprised and even changed his tone a little.
"That's right." Itami Kangqing nodded firmly, "Before leaving this time, I had already discussed it with my father. Although my father did not support me, he did not stop me. β
"Before you go, you have to think about it." Yu Qiuping reminded a little anxiously, "From here to Europa, even if you use a clipper to pass all the way unimpeded, it is estimated that it will take more than half a year!" It's not a smooth journey, there are storms, pirates, and countless hostile countries, and the language is not spoken! And all sorts of terrible diseases! Once you have any problems, how do you get back? β
"These are all things that can be solved," Itami Yasukiyo shrugged his shoulders lightly, "I can go to Sakai Town and ask my merchant friend for help, the one who sent Charlie here!" There must be a way for him to get through. β
"But when you get there, you may not be able to learn anything," Yu Qiuping shook his head and said, "You don't understand the language, and you are a stranger from the other side of the world, how can those naval officers of the Southern Barbarians let you learn ship technology?" That's too unrealistic, isn't it? β
"No matter how unrealistic it is, it will not be more impractical than a teenager who has never been on the battlefield to rush into a ruined city with only more than 200 slaves alone and block the attack of the enemy's army of 6,000." Yi Dan Kangqing joked with a smile, and also amused Yu Qiuping.
"But I had something to do," Yu Qiuping whispered, "and I couldn't have left those two hundred or so poor people behind." Their family is finally living a good life, and I will at least bring them a letter from home. β
"I have something I have to do." Yi Dan Kangqing looked at the vast sea surface and slowly opened his arms, "The chaos in the sea frontier has not stopped for decades, hundreds of years. Only by truly calming the entire sea can everyone enjoy this beautiful sea, and can people who depend on the sea for their livelihood not experience the pain of being separated from their wives. If the Nanbanians really have such powerful ships, I have no reason not to study! β
"Are you ready to come to your senses? This is to completely abandon your original smooth life and future. Yu Qiuping looked at the pious color in Itami Kangqing's eyes and understood that he had made up his mind.
Itami Yasukiyo didn't immediately respond to Yu Qiuping, but just stood there, looking at the beautiful sea from afar. After a long time, he read softly: "I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope Hai Boping is peaceful." β
"I'm just worried that when I return from school, the Imagawa family has declined and has nowhere to display their talents." Itan Kangqing sighed and shook his head helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm still here. I swore that I would give peace to the people of the world! Yu Qiuping blurted out this sentence.
"If one day, Your Highness has the ambition to restore the peace of the sea," Itan Kangqing turned his head and said solemnly to Yu Qiuping again, "I will be a dog and a horse." β
Β·
Bidding farewell to Itan Kangqing, Yu Qiuping was in a trance.
Itami Kangqing's words evoked his long-standing dream and oath - to appease the pain of the people of the world and give them a peaceful life. He had sworn this to more than one person, Kaede Imagawa, Yoshimoto Imagawa, Toshi Sena, Yasukiyo Itami, and many, many others.
However, it was because of his ideals and kindness that there was a river of blood outside the city of Yinma, and almost all of his men were wiped out - he did not even have the opportunity to return to the territory before his exile and apologize to the families of the dead soldiers. And he himself, too, was exiled and wandered to a foreign land.
Wake up, you're determined to give up these illusory intentions and ideals! His Royal Highness Sena rescued you so that you could do what you haven't done yet! I want to take revenge on His Royal Highness! In order to take revenge, you must play with power, and you must go into the dark, instead of being a bad person again!
Yu Qiuping shook his head vigorously, unable to understand why he suddenly blurted out that sentence at that timeβhe thought it had been buried in his heart.
He forced himself to forget about it. At this moment, he was sitting next to Kaede Imagawa's bed, watching her fall asleep quietly. Under the oil lamp, he opened the history of Japan's Warring States period that he had written before and began to plan for his future.
My only goal here is to kill Oda Nobunaga! It's revenge!
But rebellion is not a simple matter. Not only do I have to kill Oda Nobunaga, but I also have to find a way to escape with my family and men. It's just that I know history, and I can definitely use it to make the perfect plan.
Oda Nobunaga, how many times have you brushed shoulders with death!
Closely, Akihei remembers that a year later, Oda Nobunaga was defeated by the Saito family in Mino. And it seems that in this battle. Oda Nobunaga's ally, Oda Nobunaga, was extremely resentful of Oda Nobunaga because of the death of his brother and the uneven distribution of benefits, and raised a flag of rebellion. Oda Nobunaga was also repeatedly defeated in his attack on Oda Nobukiyo's Inuyama Castle. After that, Oda Nobunaga seems to have suffered a crushing defeat to Saito Ryuko in the Battle of Konojima one year.
After that, Oda Nobunaga entered. His biggest crisis is estimated to be that he was attacked by Asai Nagamasa during the retreat of Kanesaki and his life hung by a thread. After that, Oda Nobunaga also seems to have been shot in his clothes with an iron cannon by Sugitani's Zenjubo, and he was almost killed. Later, Oda Nobunaga was assassinated many times, and he was also repeatedly killed in the battle against Ichijo Sect, until the fall of Honnoji Change.
Yu Qiuping listed these events one by one, and some of the time is no longer clear. However, he feels that due to his previous set of operations in, the Asai family rose ahead of schedule, and the Miyoshi family did not fall into decline, and it is estimated that a series of histories have changed. The only thing that can be used is these historical events before the pacification of Mino.
"Maybe a large-scale joint battle that is evenly matched is an opportunity?" Yu Qiuping thought about it, and it seemed that there were still a lot of opportunities. As long as he finds a way to create chaos in the Great War, it is very likely that Oda Nobunaga himself will be in danger. It's really not possible, and it's not impossible to send ninjas to kill Oda Nobunaga in the chaos of the army, and then quickly retreat while the war is raging.
In that case, Oda Nobunaga and Asai Asakura's coalition forces, with the Miyoshi family, with the Uesugi family and the Takeda family, it is estimated that it will be inevitable to fight several battles, and these are all good opportunities for Yu Qiuping to kill Oda Nobunaga.
However, it will take a long time to prepare for it.
Yu Qiuping let out a long sigh and knocked on the table a little helplessly. However, it seems that the sound of this table case is noisy to Kaede Imagawa on the tatami mat. She muttered in her sleep, rolled over, and fell asleep sweetly.
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, slowly bent down, and looked at Imagawa Kaede's sleeping face up close. Her skin is still crystal clear like a snow girl, but her eyes have thick dark circles, which makes Yu Qiuping feel distressed for a while. He carefully picked up a strand of green silk from Kaede Imagawa, gently swirled it in his hand, and with the other hand, gently ** her bulging lower abdomen.
If I were an Assassin... How nice it would be. Alone, without concern. After completing the assassination mission, if you can, you can escape, and if you can't, you will die. As long as you gain the trust of Oda Nobunaga, you can find an opportunity to seal your throat with a sword. But I am the head of the Yuqiu family, the leader of so many good brothers, the husband of Feng'er, and the father of the future child. I can't just get revenge, I have to find the best of both worlds...
