After everything settled, Yu Qiuping was already limp in the corner due to pain and excessive blood loss.

Imagawa Kaede rushed to Yu Qiuping's side in a panic, looking at Yu Qiuping, who was almost covered in blood, tears couldn't stop flowing. Akihei's neck was trickling blood, and Kaede Imagawa tried in vain to press his white and soft little hand against Akihei's wound, trying to stop the bleeding for him, but the blood still stained the little hand red and continued to gush out.

"Go and invite Langzhong! Go and invite Langzhong! Imagawa Kaede cried and shouted, and without saying a word, Kohata and Anayama Noshinori turned around and ran towards the door. And the man in white and Keiji Maeda also walked to Yu Qiuping's side and helped him check his physical condition.

Yu Qiuping only felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his head was getting more and more dizzy, and it seemed that the picture in front of him was a little trance. The stamina of the drug and the weakness caused by excessive blood loss came up at the same time.

Kaede Imagawa pressed the wound on Yu Qiuping's neck with his right hand, and tore off a part of his sleeve with his left hand and teeth, helping Yu Qiuping to bandage the wound easily - but the sleeve was instantly stained red with blood.

"Kaede, don't cry..."Yu Qiuping tried to squeeze out a sentence to comfort Imagawa Kaede.

Imagawa Kaede whimpered in a low voice, finally stopped crying, and held Yu Qiuping's bleeding right hand with some trembling. I saw that the place where the thumb of the right hand and the palm of the hand were connected to the flesh and blood that had been bitten by Yu Qiuping, and the layers of muscles were torn apart, and the terrifying white bones inside were already faintly visible. Imagawa Kaede's pupils contracted suddenly, and his whole body trembled violently, and his crying voice struggled for a moment, but it still leaked out of his pursed lips, and it immediately evolved into a howling cry.

"Ping..."Imagawa Kaede cried silently, "Why are you tossing yourself like this... Why is it so hard... How do you bite your hand like this? You're going to die, don't you know! ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, looking at Imagawa Kaede, who was crying in front of him, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Silly girl..."Yu Qiuping tried to raise his left hand, which was still intact, and gently hugged Imagawa Kaede into his arms, "I can't see you being wronged." ”

"Even if I don't die, I have to protect you..."

Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment and cried even more fiercely. This girl, who has always wanted to strengthen her self-esteem, was buried in Yu Qiuping's arms at the moment and cried loudly, without the slightest scruple about the man in white and Maeda Keiji who were standing beside her, scolding Yu Qiuping as a "fool".

·

So Langzhong came in time and helped Yu Qiuping treat the wound with herbs and plasters to stop bleeding. bandaged and fixed Yu Qiuping's right hand, which was already a little bone-cracked, and finally got him out of danger. After that, Yu Qiuping fell into a trance because he was too tired. Sanada Masayuki, who rushed back in time, after making sure that the scene was safe, sent Yu Qiuping to a hotel outside Tushan Town with everyone.

By the time Yuqiu had calmed down, he was already lying in a hotel room. Imagawa Kaede knelt beside him, a pair of delicate eyes were already red and swollen from crying, and the tear stains on his face were clearly visible.

In the room, there were three subordinates, Sanada Masayuki, Kohata Shomori, and Anayama Nobuyoshi, while Takigawa Kazuki and the man in white were sitting on the chairs on both sides.

"Thank you two for saving your life just now, in the Shimo-Oda family will bring Yuqiu and red leaves," Yuqiu lay flat on the tatami mat and nodded to the two people, "I don't know what to call the two?" ”

"You're welcome," Keiji Maeda waved his hand, "Righteousness and courage are my style of Keiji Maeda!" I happened to be visiting Iga this time, and I happened to encounter this incident, can I ignore it? ”

"Keiji Maeda?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, this is a big celebrity of Japan's Warring States! Although his exploits as a samurai in history are not so brilliant, as a great maverick charmer, he is really famous for future generations! In each game, Keiji Maeda is always the one who catches the eye! But about his specific life, Yu Qiuping doesn't remember it very clearly - it seems to have something to do with the Maeda Toshiya?

Yu Qiuping looked at Maeda Keiji's appearance of about 30 years old, and asked, "I heard you say that you are from Owari, so are you the uncle of the Maeda Toshiie?" ”

"What uncle," Keiji Maeda scratched his head with a smile, "I'm his nephew!" ”

"What?" Yu Qiuping was taken aback, "You look older than the Li family!" ”

"Well," Keiji Maeda took a puff of his cigarette, "I'm the child of that guy's brother in Takigawa Kazuyi, and I was adopted as an adopted son by the eldest brother of the Maeda Toshi family, isn't this his nephew?" ”

"Is that so," Yu Qiuping reluctantly accepted this explanation, "then this adult, how do you call it?" He said as he looked at the man in white.

He was dressed in a white robe and his face was grim. The style of the hair looks like a ninja.

"My name is Aooka," the man said in a low voice, "I'm a fusi, and I won't use my previous surname anymore, so I don't have a surname." ”

Escape?

Yu Qiuping frowned, thinking about the meaning behind these two words.

Escape ninja, as the name suggests, is a ninja who escapes. In Japan, it refers to ninjas who have left the ninja to which they originally belonged or those who have left the main family. Most of these ninjas have absconded from the master's house because they have committed serious crimes. Funobi will not only be regarded as a wanted criminal by the original ninja and the main family, but will also be hostile to the entire ninja world. Each ninja or ninja, whenever they find a fleeing ninja, they will usually be killed - this is also the unwritten rule of the ninja world. Only a few daring ninjas will take in the fugitive ninja.

In other words, the Qinggang in front of Yu Qiuping is likely to be a defector among a ninja.

Not only Yu Qiuping, but even Sanada Masayuki and others were nervous.

"Well, I'm talking about a few of you," Keiji Maeda was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene, and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much about this Qinggang, people don't have any ill will towards you." He also sent a dozen of his men to guard the surroundings just now, in case the remnants of the very helpful army come back to seek revenge on you. ”

"Is that so?" Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "I offended a lot just now, and I hope that the leader of Qinggang will not be blamed." ”

"It's okay," Aooka shook his head, "It's just that I have something to ask for." ”

"Your Excellency, may I speak?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"I wonder if I can talk to His Highness alone," Qinggang turned his gaze to Yu Qiuping, "There are some things I want to ask." ”

"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and set his eyes on Sanada Masayuki. The latter hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly. Yu Qiuping then motioned for everyone to leave the room, and although Imagawa Kaede was a little relieved, he slowly withdrew from the room and closed the door.

"I don't know Your Highness Yuqiu, can it be the Yuqiu red leaves that used military rations to help the people of other countries?" Qinggang asked first.

"Exactly, at that time, I was still at the Imagawa house." Yu Qiuping nodded.

"Ling Zheng must be the princess of the Imagawa family?" Qinggang asked again.

"That's right." Yu Qiuping nodded, but the second monk was confused, and he didn't know why Qinggang was asking this.

After Qinggang asked this sentence, he suddenly fell silent, and the silence in the room seemed a little strange. After a long time, Qinggang spoke again in that deep voice: "Your Highness must love Ling Zheng very much, right?" ”

"That's nature." Although Yu Qiuping didn't understand why Qinggang asked this, he still replied without thinking: "She is the love of my life, and being able to marry her home is the happiest thing in my life." ”

"Then Your Highness..." Qinggang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Your Highness risked his life to protect Ling Zhengshi, didn't he have any fear in his heart?" ”

"Scared?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment.

Qinggang's Adam's apple squirmed violently, and his voice trembled a little: "If Your Highness doesn't resist, although Ling Zheng will be humiliated, both of them may survive." When His Highness tried his best to do that at that time, he didn't worry that the resistance was likely to be easily subdued, and Ling Zheng would still be humiliated, but His Highness lost his life in vain? ”

After Aooka quickly finished saying this, he lowered his head in some shame.

"I also know that His Highness is actually not strong at all." Qinggang said in a low voice: "Your Highness's martial arts are not even the worst among the dozens of ninjas. Where can His Highness be confident that he will be strong enough to defeat that Shisuke in martial arts? ”

After listening to Qinggang's words, Yu Qiuping did not answer directly, but asked instead: "Qinggang, do you have any stories?" ”

As soon as Yu Qiuping spoke, Qinggang's body shook violently. Yu Qiuping also suddenly understood why the taciturn and low-pitched man suddenly said so much to himself just now.

I guess I have a past that I can't look back on.

"If I could, I would like to hear your story," Yu Qiuping whispered softly, "If I can help you, it can be regarded as a small repayment of your life-saving grace." ”

After Qinggang heard this, his body shook again. He sat down in his chair and adjusted his body uneasily, as if he remembered something terrible. After a long time, he slowly closed his eyes, stretched out his hand, and carefully took out a fan from his arms. The handle of the fan and a semicircle in the lower part are white, and the red in the upper part half-surrounds the lower half-circle. This fan is a few years old, and the paint on it is a little faded. However, the whole fan is very well preserved, and there is not a single damage or stain - the owner must have carefully wiped it every day.

Aooka slowly opened his eyes and stared at the fan in his hand.

"My real name is Fujibayashi, and I am a relative of the Fujibayashi family, one of the three shinobi in Iga, and I was also the elite Shinobi of the Fujibayashi family." Qinggang said in a low voice: "And this fan is a relic of the cheap." ”
