On December 28, the wrestling tournament was held at a dojo in Kyoto. This time, it was not only the samurai children of the Oda family who came to participate in the competition, but also the allies of the Oda family and many young men in who had not been served. Therefore, on the second floor of the gym, there were samurai with heads and faces who came to watch the game. The competition on the tatami mats has been in full swing, and the samurai children have sung and appeared on the stage, with tenacious perseverance and superb skills, frequently winning full applause again and again. The schedule is nearly halfway through, and the ring competition has gradually entered the white heat, with strong players attacking and defending one after another, so lively.

At this time, Yu Qiupei sat in a private room with Asai Nagamasa and Tokugawa Ieyasu and accompanied them to watch the game. Although he was told that Yu Qiuyu could not return to Yuqiu's house, nor could he meet with the people of Yuqiu's family, but had to compete under the supervision of the Hatakeyama family's guards, Imagawa Kaede still rushed all the way over, just to see his eldest son a few times. And Asai Nagamasa and Ah Shi and his wife also came with Cha Cha and Ah Chu. At this moment, Aichi and Kaede Imagawa are teasing two cute little girls.

Nagamasa Asai and Ieyasu Tokugawa were engrossed in enjoying the game on the court, but Akihei Rain was restless. Oda Nobunaga's abnormal attitude towards the Asakura Yoshikei incident hung over his heart like a sword of Damocles. Finally, taking advantage of the opportunity for Tokugawa Ieyasu to go out to the toilet, Yu Qiuhei suddenly came to Asai Nagamasa's side and whispered to him:

"Changzheng, I want to ask you something."

"Brother, please ask, Chang Zheng knows everything." Asai Nagamasa politely withdrew his gaze from the dojo and looked at Yu Qiuping.

"Uh..."Asai Nagamasa was so formal, which made Yu Qiuping slightly embarrassed, he originally wanted to inadvertently bring up this topic in the atmosphere of small talk, but at this moment he had to bite the bullet and said: "If... I mean, if the Asakura family and the Oda family meet each other, what are you going to do with Nagamasa? ”

"Huh?" Asai Nagamasa was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly, "Brother... You mean... His Royal Highness Oda wants..."

"No, no, no!" Seeing this, Yu Qiuping hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I just said it casually, it has nothing to do with the Oda family's decision-making, it's just a casual remark!" The lord has never said such a thing! ”

Yu Qiuping's explanation calmed down the simple Asai Nagamasa, let out a sigh of relief, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother scared me to death, I thought my brother was sent by His Royal Highness Oda to confirm my attitude." ”

"How could that be?" Yu Qiuping laughed a few times in embarrassment, and then asked tentatively: "What about your reply, Changzheng?" What will you do? ”

"I don't know." After hesitating for a moment, Asai Nagamasa replied honestly, "The Oda family and the Asakura family are allies, and no matter what, I will try my best to mediate and prevent the two families from fighting each other." ”

"That's right." Yu Qiuping wanted to continue to ask, but seeing that Tokugawa Ieyasu had returned from outside, he had to give up. At this moment, Cha Cha, who was sitting quietly on the side, suddenly stood up excitedly, ran to the side of the railing, stretched out his little finger and pointed to the field: "Look! It's Brother Death! ”

"Martyr?" Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly walked to the edge of the railing, and found that Yu Qiuyu was slowly walking towards the center of the dojo. And standing in the center of the dojo was a samurai disciple of Yamato Province who had won many battles in a row. Yu Qiuyan's shriveled sleeves are particularly eye-catching. He didn't say anything, just used his lonely left hand to silently pull up the empty sleeve of his right arm, rolled it up in a circle, and then tied a knot at the shoulder of his right arm to prevent the sleeve that fluttered in the wind from hanging down.

Many samurai and martial arts children from other families have already started to talk about it, pointing fingers at this one-armed heir of the Yuqiu family, not knowing what they are talking about. This poor child, because of his physical disability, even if it is just to show up, will be subjected to merciless criticism.

"Huh? Who is that one-armed man? ”

"It's the heir of the Yuqiu family, called Yuqiu."

"Oh yes, yes, yes! It's you from the Oda family, why is this child crippled and still being an heir? ”

"Who knows what His Highness Momiji thinks, his twin brother is obviously much stronger than him, so he should be abandoned. Don't you know, the year before last, at the martial arts tournament of our Oda family, his younger brother performed brilliantly, but he himself couldn't even fall a six-year-old child. ”

"Cut, how much ability do you want with one arm, rest assured that you will eat and wait for death for the rest of your life."

……

Yu Qiuping actually didn't want Yu Qiuyan to come to participate in such a martial arts conference, he vaguely remembered how much trauma the last martial arts conference caused to Yu Qiuyan's self-esteem. However, Yu Qiuyan himself really wanted to participate again, and Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede didn't want to lose the opportunity to see their son, so they didn't object.

But this time, the opponent chosen by Yu Qiuyan is not a weak one, but a very strong opponent, even if he is directly knocked down, it will not be too embarrassing.

Just when Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede were quietly praying in the stands, hoping that when Yu Qiuyu was defeated, the people around him would not ridicule him or laugh at him loudly, but a shocking scene happened.

Before everyone could react, Yu Qiuyan had already thrown his opponent, the master who had won many battles, to the ground neatly.

·

"What?" "What just happened?" "How did you win?" "The one-armed one won?"

In an instant, the surrounding audience burst into exclamations and questions. Even relatives and friends such as Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede didn't come back to their senses, and they didn't know how Yu Qiuyu did it.

"Lost your child?" Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede looked at each other in amazement, not that they didn't believe in their children, but just a child with a broken hand, it was too difficult to win in the wrestling ring, especially against a master.

"I guess the opponent was careless! Seeing that Yan'er was injured, he thought that Yan'er couldn't do it, but he was taken the opportunity to fall down! Yu Qiuping smiled very excitedly and happily, "Great! If you kill such a strong opponent this time, even if you lose in the next round, you won't be ridiculed! ”

"yes." Imagawa Kaede also covered his mouth excitedly, "Now that child will be happy for a long time!" I won't be wronged anymore! ”

However, Yu Qiuyan in the ring was not as excited as his parents imagined, but bowed to his opponent very politely and put on a posture again.

Because Yu Qiuyan's right hand has a congenital disability, ordinary martial arts children are not willing to go on stage to challenge him as an opponent. Because choosing such an opponent will be seen by everyone as bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, winning will not mean anything, in case of losing or winning is not easy, it will become a great shame.

Therefore, after a long time, no one was willing to come on stage to challenge Yu Qiu, and the scene was very embarrassing. In the end, it was Tokugawa Nobuyasu, the son of the Tokugawa family, who stood up to alleviate the embarrassment and challenged Yuqiu.

"Thank you, Saburo." After seeing Tokugawa Nobuyasu initiating a challenge, Yu Qiuping was very grateful to Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"That kid values love and righteousness, and he has had old friends with Yan'er before, so naturally he won't sit idly by." Tokugawa Ieyasu also smiled very happily, "But Momiji is not strange, that kid doesn't take it seriously." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Saburo's ability has been seen by our Oda family's martial arts the year before, and he is definitely one of the best masters. Losing to him is not a shame. Yu Qiuping replied with a smile.

However, just when Yu Qiuhei and Tokugawa Ieyasu were polite, Asai Nagamasa, who was sitting next to them, stood up suddenly and looked at the center of the ring incredulously. Almost at the same time, the entire dojo instantly erupted in a louder exclamation than just now, and many people who had been sitting on the side stood up in surprise.

Yuakihei and Tokugawa Ieyasu hurriedly turned their heads to look at the center of the ring, only to find that Tokugawa Nobuyasu had been thrown to the ground. Yu Qiuyan on the side pulled up Tokugawa Nobuyasu with his left hand, and still saluted very politely.

"Oh my God! Yu Qiuping was surprised that he didn't even finish speaking, and then immediately turned to look at Tokugawa Ieyasu, "Could it be that Saburo deliberately gave it to Yan'er?" ”

"No, absolutely not, that kid is just a tendon, and he doesn't understand human feelings at all." Tokugawa Ieyasu also looked at Tokugawa Nobuyasu in surprise, and the latter gave Yu Qiuyan a salute convincingly, and seemed to have a few words with him, "That kid has been preparing for this wrestling tournament for a long time, and he definitely won't release water." ”

At the same time, the discussion in the entire dojo also overshadowed the criticism when Yu Qiuyu appeared at the beginning.

"Oh my God! How did this Yuqiu boy do it? ”

"Do you see clearly! With just one move, Tokugawa Gongzi was knocked down! ”

"Didn't the previous Matsui boy also be overturned all of a sudden? These two are well-known and strong players! What moves did this Yuqiu boy use? ”

"I don't even see it! The next game must be good! ”

·

"Yuqiu Gongzi, yes! Attaboy! Morita Sho, who was standing on the edge of the ring, was preoccupied with watching out of the nearby movements, for fear that someone would snatch Yu Qiu Yan back when he broke out of their control and went to the ring to compete. However, after seeing Yu Qiuyan kill two opponents in a row, he couldn't help but be attracted by Yu Qiuyan's performance, and shouted excitedly: "I thought that Gongzi you only had one hand, and it was useless to practice with that old man!" I didn't expect you to be so powerful! That old man really taught you a trick! ”

"Come on!" Morita Evil Sho waved excitedly at Yu Qiuyan, "Knock them all down!" ”

"Come on, Yuqiu Gongzi!" Morita Evil Sho and the dozen or so Hatakeyama family guards who were in charge of monitoring Yu Qiuyan have been getting along with Yu Qiuyan day and night for almost a year, and they can be regarded as having some feelings. They witnessed the efforts of this weak and disabled teenager for a year, regardless of the wind, frost, rain and snow, and sincerely hoped that he could succeed, and cheered for him one after another. Yu Qiuyan swung his fist at them gratefully, and Morita Sho returned him with an excited fist.

Although the positions are contrary, these dozen or so guards are also good people.
