Chapter Eighty-Eight: Cheer Up
"What's wrong with you?" At the end of all the work, Sena asked.
Sena Shijun had long seen that Yu Qiuping was abnormal, but the latter had been buried in the case and did not ask. He grabbed Yu Qiuping, who was about to leave, and sat him down, ready to have a good talk with him.
"Your Highness." Yu Qiuping's expression was gloomy, "It's just a little private matter, it's not worth worrying about Your Highness." ”
"You're the offspring I watched grow up." Sena Shijun pulled out a stool and sat down beside Yu Qiuping, "Your business is my business, if you have any worries, you can talk to me." ”
Seeing that Yu Qiuping was a little hesitant, Sena Shijun smiled kindly, "When I'm your age, I also have all kinds of worries that I don't want to mention to others. It's also a person who has come over. But with my own lesson, it is really much better to tell others. ”
"I don't want to say it, I don't force you." Sena Shijun comforted, "Things will pass, but I'm willing to listen to Momiji's troubles." ”
Yu Qiuping sighed and said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”
He pondered for a moment, but decided to say what had been stuffed in his heart for the past few days: "I hope Your Highness can promise to keep it secret, and don't even tell the Governor's Palace." ”
"Okay, I'll promise Momiji." Sena nodded,
"The girl I told His Highness before I went down and fell in love with her is actually Princess Feng." Yu Qiuping's words have been spoken, even if he is as calm as Sena Shijun, his face has changed greatly, and it took a while to calm down.
"In the next book and the princess are in love, they agreed to marry the princess after working hard to be promoted. But a few days ago, the young master talked to me," Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "I also think what the young master said makes sense." My identity is too different from Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can I be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the princess can't wait for me all the time, she is already 17 years old. ”
Yu Qiuping said as he spoke, tears filled his eyes again, "So on the birthday of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I asked Her Royal Highness the Princess to resign." Maybe this is the best choice for Her Royal Highness. With that, Yu Qiuping lowered his head and covered his face to prevent tears from flowing. With the words pouring out, there is also the depression and suffering that have plagued him for a long time, "But it will still be so sad and painful..."
Sena didn't say much, just gently patted Yu Qiuhei's shoulder.
"You're an amazing man." Sena comforted, "But you have to cheer up too." It's not okay that you've been in such poor spirits for the past few days. ”
"You and Princess Kaede may not be able to walk together for various reasons, but you love each other after all." Sena Shijun was relieved, "No matter what the final result is, she will definitely hope that the autumn leaves are still the same sunny and cheerful autumn leaves as before, instead of being sullen all day long." ”
"Even if it's to make her happy, to make her feel better, you have to try to cheer up." Sena said solemnly, "What's more, it's for yourself." Princess Kaede hasn't gotten married yet, and Momiji still has a chance! You can go from a white body to a general and a lord of a 5,000-stone territory in one year, so why don't you try to become an elder in another year! Sena Shijun cheered Yu Qiuping and said, "It's rare that you don't want to fight!" ”
"That's what Your Highness said." Yu Qiuping tried to raise his head, holding back tears and laughing, "I can't give up yet!" Thank you, Your Highness, it's much better. ”
"Then go back to the territory and relax." Sena stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep this matter a secret for you." ”
After Yu Qiuping returned to the territory, Naoe Tadahei immediately rushed to visit.
"Kinbei, why are you in such a hurry to come over? Is something happening in the territory? "When Yu Qiuping was away, Naoe Tadahei was the head of the entire territory. Because after all, he is the most trusted person in Yu Qiuping, and his popularity is also very good, and he is also involved in all aspects of things.
"No, I'm here to visit you." Naoe Tadahei took the door, adjusted his blindfold, leaned over and said, "Seeing that the adult's complexion has improved a lot, I will feel at ease." ”
"Oh? Is it because I was in a bad mood some time ago? Yu Qiuping said as he invited Naoe Tadahei to sit down.
"Exactly." Naoe Zhonghei nodded and said, "I don't know if I can share the worries of adults in the future?" ”
Yu Qiuping sighed, after talking to Sena Shijun last time, his mood was much better. He didn't want to hide from this loyal subordinate and make him worry about himself every day.
After listening to Yu Qiuping finish telling what happened, Naoe Tadahei was also speechless for a while. He never expected that Yu Qiuping's sweetheart would be the princess of the Imagawa family.
"My lord," Naoe Tadahei pondered his words, "I don't know how to comfort my lord, and I don't know how to evaluate the right or wrong of my lord's move." ”
"It's just..."Naoe Tadahei asked with some confusion, "I'm a little curious, did you consider Her Royal Highness the Princess's thoughts when you made the decision to separate?" ”
"Huh?" Naoe Zhongping's question made Yu Qiuping stunned. Indeed, it was he who proposed to break up at that time, and he never discussed it with Kaede Imagawa beforehand. "But it's also for her good... There's no way I shouldn't do it. Yu Qiuping sighed. Forget it, no matter what, you should go and see the craftsmen first. ”
"Yes, my lord."
"That's right, sir." When Naoe Tadahei got up and was about to say goodbye, he suddenly remembered something, "In the past few days, Prince Asahina has also come here to find adults, and it seems that he is also worried about adults. ”
"Big brother..."Yu Qiuping's heart warmed, "I'm tired of him." ”
After Naoe Tadahei left, Yu Qiuping sat down in the room by himself, poured a cup, and savored Naoe Tadahei's words.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and the voice of Naoe Tadahei, who had gone and returned: "My lord, I'm here for Hina-sama, and I want to see you." ”
"Big brother?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise, "Is it so coincidental, what's polite, let him come in directly." ”
"Hey, hey!" The door was pulled open suddenly, and he squeezed in sideways towards Bina Taiheng, pushed Naoe Tadahei away, and strode in unceremoniously, "I'm not polite to you, the words of the report were said by the pro-soldier himself himself." But what I mean is, let that decadent boy get out and see his big brother! ”
The comfort of Sena Shitoshi and his friends gradually brought Yu Qiuping out of the shadows, and he began to devote himself more vigorously to the training of the troops. He has put a little more thought into the training of the archery team recently, after all, archers need long-term training to improve their level, not "fast" like a gun formation.
On April 21, he happened to meet Charlie in training in the forest east of West Village. The latter hung a circular target on a tree nearly 300 meters away, still practicing his arrows silently.
"So far!" Yu Qiuping said with emotion, he walked behind Charlie, standing at this distance and even seeing the target reluctantly, "Thompson, I'm afraid you can have a hundred steps through the Yang." ”
Charlie did not respond to Yu Qiuping, but silently drew the longbow full, closed one eye, calmed down, and aimed at the bullseye in the distance. The blonde hair on the forehead shines in the sunlight.
With the sound of loose strings, the sharp arrow pointed straight at the target, and in an instant, the target immediately made a crisp sound. Yu Qiuping ran over to look at the target with some curiosity, and Charlie shook his head regretfully.
"My lord, it's useless to look at my target, and I didn't shoot it well this time." Charlie shook his head. Yu Qiuping walked to the side of the arrow target and found that the arrow target had five circles from the inside to the outside, and there was a red dot the size of a baked cake in the middle, which was almost impossible to see from three hundred meters away. Charlie had already inserted five arrows on his target, and Yuqiu couldn't tell which one was shot just now. Of the five arrows, three landed in the middle of the third and second rings. Two more are inserted not far from the red circle.
"Can it be so accurate!" Yu Qiuping exclaimed in surprise, "Three hundred meters!" I was able to shoot so far inside. ”
As he spoke, Charlie had already walked up from behind. Silently, he pulled the arrows from the target. Then, he turned around and walked back to the firing position.
"My father." Charlie raised his longbow and pointed to the arrow target in the distance, "It has the ability to hit the heart directly, three hundred meters away." ”
"I need to practice, my training is far from enough." He sighed and continued to hold his breath, ready to shoot. "I must surpass my father and reach the level required of a royal archer."
Yu Qiuping smiled and didn't continue to bother Charlie, originally planning to let him go back to guide the archers, but seeing him train so intently, he dispelled this idea.
He has his own obsessions, so don't force him.
Yu Qiuping was walking on the way back to the training ground, when suddenly, the herald named Anayama Nodami hurried over on horseback. As soon as he saw Yu Qiuping, he shouted loudly: "My lord, my lord, it's not good!" ”
"You kid, why do you make a fuss all day." Yu Qiuping smiled, "What's the urgency, the prostitute is not enough to be hunted down?" ”
"No, sir!" After being teased by Yu Qiuping, Xueshan Nominee didn't feel a little shy, but replied as a matter of course: "How is it possible, my lord, those girls and after the next night's spring supper, they can't wait to stick it upside down." ”
"Fuck you, shut up!" Yu Qiuping scolded with a smile, "What the hell is going on? ”
"It's such an adult, my cavalry team's subordinate Kohata Jiesheng has violated military law and will be expelled from the army by Amano-sama!" Anayama Nominee hurriedly said, "You know him, but he's a good person!" So I hurried to the adults to intercede! ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Yu Qiuping wanted to ask again, but Xueshan Xinshi urged him to hurry up. Otherwise, it will be too late! ”
"Good, good." Yuqiu responded calmly, jumped on the horse of the cave mountain faithfulness with ease, and hugged his waist.
"My lord, I didn't let you get on the horse!" Cave Mountain Nominee said with a sad face, "It's so strange for a big man to put his arms around my waist! I still prefer those girls to hug. ”
"Don't beep, hurry." Yu Qiuping scolded with a smile.
"My lord, how can you be so skilled at riding horses with others?" Akayama Shimishi said curiously. Yu Qiuping pinched him hard, and the latter stopped talking.
