As soon as Yu Qiuping spoke, even the subordinates who were ambushed around him were startled.

"Is the Takeda family a wealthy family of the Sanada family?" Tianye Jingde frowned, "The eldest prince and the third prince who attacked the bullet must have inherited the wisdom of the attack on the bullet, right?" ”

"It's just... How do adults judge it? Amano Keide muttered to himself in some confusion, but still held the hilt tightly, ready to draw the knife out of its sheath at any moment.

"What is Boss Saburo talking about?" Sanada Nobutsuna waved his hand after a moment of stunnedness, "What is really sweet, what is really sweet, and the grass people are not selling sugar." ”

"Brother." Sanada Masayuki chuckled, "Your excuse is not bad, it's much more humorous than usual." ”

"Kibei!" Sanada Nobutsuna scolded, "What are you talking about? ”

"Didn't you say that we were honest, so what are we hiding?" Sanada Masayuki smiled confidently, at a young age, but his bearing had already overshadowed his brother, he turned to look at Yuqiuping, "You said yes, Yuqiu Momiji-sama?" ”

This time, it was Yu Qiuping's turn and his subordinates to be taken aback. And with Sanada Masayuki lightly high-fived, behind him, more than a dozen people from the Takeda family immediately walked out of the alley, looking at Ashigaru on the side of the Imagawa family with fierce eyes. And Sanada Masayuki must have been confident, but Sanada Nobutsuna was taken aback, obviously not knowing that his younger brother had mobilized so many people and was kept in the dark.

"I won't hide it from you." Yu Qiuping was in respect of this famous Sanada Masayuki in later generations, and agreed very happily: "It's Yu Qiuping, but I don't know Your Excellency," Yu Qiuping took a few steps forward in confusion and asked, "How did you know your identity?" ”

After Yu Qiuping took a few steps forward, he didn't notice that he was a little far away from the subordinates behind him who were protecting him. Sanada Nobutsuna quickly recovered from his consternation, realizing that the two sides were in a state of hostility. Seeing that Yu Qiuping was standing too far forward, he rushed forward with a sword step, holding the scabbard with his left hand and pressing his right hand on the hilt, just about to pull out the sword and hold Yu Qiuping hostage. However, at the moment when he drew his knife, a small figure suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Yu Qiuping, protecting him behind him. At the same time, a hand pressed on the hand of Sanada Nobutsuna who wanted to draw the knife, and pressed it back hard, and the knife that was half unsheathed was forced back.

Yu Qiuping was startled, hurriedly took a few steps back, and Fukushima Yasunari and others beside him also rushed out to protect Yu Qiuping. And the people of the Takeda family also stepped forward quickly, protecting Sanada Masayuki behind him. Only Honda Nabenosuke and Sanada Nobutsuna are left to confront each other in the middle. Honda Nabenosuke pressed the handle of Sanada Nobutsuna's katana with one hand, and Sanada Nobutsuna couldn't pull out the knife no matter how hard he pulled it out, and he was forcibly restrained by Honda Nabe's suke. The two held their breath and wrestled with each other, their bodies were shaking slightly because of the tension of their muscles, and sweat started from their heads, flowing down their cheeks, and their faces were red, looking at each other.

"Your Excellency asks, how did you know your identity?" Sanada Masayuki looked at Yu Qiuping.

"Exactly." Yu Qiuping nodded and looked back at the past.

"It's the same as Your Excellency." Sanada Masayuki smiled, "It's really a hero's vision." ”

"Age?" Yu Qiuping was taken aback and asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Masayuki Sanada explained, "Whether it's joint warfare, assassination, diplomacy, investigation, internal affairs, and intelligence are all top priorities. Before I arrived, I expected that I might meet the Imagawa family and the Hojo family, so in order to find out the identity, I specifically investigated the ages of the adults. ”

"Age is the easiest data to obtain, compared to appearance, preferences and identity." Sanada Masayuki's still somewhat immature face revealed an adult-like sophistication, and he raised his eyebrows, "Moreover, ordinary people don't lie when others ask about their age." ”

"Your Excellency says you're 18 years old." Sanada Masayuki looked at the surprised gazes of everyone around him and continued, "Considering the possibility of information errors, I have considered all the samurai above the rank of Imagawa Iesho from the age of 16 to 20. ”

"Those who are eligible, capable, and likely to carry out this kind of investigation mission are only Lord Yuqiu Momiji, the second son of the Asahina family, the eldest son of the Sena family, the second son of the Okabe family and the second son of the Uden family."

"Considering your style of life and the characteristics of you being 18 years old," Sanada Masayuki raised his eyebrows, "It must be Lord Yuqiu Momiji!" ”

Yu Qiuping sighed and shook his head. If he hadn't guessed their identities by mistake, in the face of such an opponent who attaches great importance to being good at intelligence, he would only have to be calculated by him at this moment. No wonder, Takeda Shingen once praised it, and Sanada Masayuki is his eyes. These eyes can see all the information. Later, his diplomacy of playing with the Uesugi, Hojo, and Tokugawa families in applause must have been based on sufficient intelligence.

"In that case, why did you tell the truth when you asked Sanada-sama's age?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Haha," Sanada Masayuki smiled a little embarrassedly, and looked apologetically at Sanada Nobutsuna, who was still wrestling with Honda Nabenosuke in front of him, "I didn't mention it to my brother when I was collecting information before, and my brother didn't know my plan, and I was worried that my brother's performance and expression would arouse suspicion when I lied about my age." And I didn't think about it, someone actually judged the identity in the same way as me. ”

After hearing Sanada Masayuki's words, Sanada Nobutsuna was so angry that he shook violently, and he was almost pinned to the ground by Honda Nabenosuke.

"So, Sanada-sama, is it the same mission as the next? The premise is that the Takeda family is not the instigator behind the scenes. Yu Qiuping chuckled.

"Pretend to be a businessman." Sanada said.

"It shows that the family doesn't care too much about this investigation team." Yu Qiuping continued.

"Sell a flaw, so as to lure the mastermind behind the scenes." Sanada Masayuki said with a smile.

"Take this to investigate clearly-" After Yu Qiuping pondered for a moment, the two said in unison: "This loss of contact incident. ”

"Hahaha..."Yu Qiuping and Sanada Masayuki laughed at the same time, and Yu Qiuping said while laughing, "What kind of heroes are we?" The main hall of the administration and the main hall of the great meal are ah. ”

The ashigaru on both sides confronted each other, Sanada Nobutsuna and Honda Nabenosuke were still wrestling, but Yu Qiuhei and Sanada Masayuki were talking and laughing. This subtle confrontational atmosphere made the people present a little confused.

At this moment, Imamiya Leding hurriedly rushed over with dozens of people to separate the two sides of the confrontation on the inside of the West Gate.

"Boss Taro, Boss Saburo, who are you..."Imiya asked at a loss, "What's the trouble?" ”

"Not a boss." Yu Qiuping patted the shoulder of the removed Honda Nabenosuke and gave him a thumbs up, "In Yuqiuping, the general of the Imagawa family came to investigate this missing incident on the order of the family governor's palace. ”

"Lord Yuqiu, but Yuqiu red leaves? The rain and autumn red leaves that the governor personally gave the horse seal? Imamiya asked in surprise.

"Exactly." Yu Qiuping nodded, "This is the retainer of the ally Takeda family, Sanada Nobutsuna and Sanada Masayuki, who are also here to investigate the disappearance. ”

"Two Sanada-sama!" Imamiya Le Ding was startled again, today is really exciting for this honest man, "There were many snubbing before, don't blame the three adults." It's just that Imagawa Takeda was originally an ally, so why did the two fight each other? ”

"Because my main hall thinks that the Takeda family (Imagawa family) is very likely to be behind the scenes." Yu Qiuping and Sanada Masayuki said in unison.

The scene was very tense for a while, and the two sides were once again tense.

"Don't say that, two adults!" Imamiya Leding hurriedly played the round, "There must be a misunderstanding!" It's getting late, so let's go back to their respective camps and think about it! ”

"That's right, tonight is indeed an emergency." Yu Qiuping smiled, "I thought I could catch you directly and ask you about this matter directly." ”

"Don't deceive people too much!" Sanada Nobutsuna scolded, "Our samurai of the Sanada family are not vegetarians!" ”

"Since it's no longer feasible to catch our plan, let's consider cooperating." Masayuki Sanada interjected coldly.

"Cooperation?" The people on both sides, except for Sanada Masayuki and Yu Qiuping, all shouted out in surprise.

"I said stinky boy, you're not mistaken!" Mimasaki Nakahide said sarcastically, "We were swords against each other just now, and you actually want to cooperate?" Maybe you're behind it! ”

"Don't talk too much, you kid!" Sanada Nobutsuna also scolded back unceremoniously, "That's what we want to say!" ”

"That's why we have to cooperate." Sanada Masayuki said with a smile.

"You stinky boy, what do you know!" Yoshioka Katsumasa also scolded.

"You guys haven't figured out the core of this mission," Sanada shook his head, "but you adults must understand." I said goodbye first! Sanada Masayuki saluted, and then pulled Sanada Nobutsuna and his subordinates away, "Tomorrow morning, wait for the reply of the adults." ”

The people of the Takeda family drifted away, leaving everyone in the Imagawa family looking at each other.

"Your Excellency." Mimasaki Nakahide looked at Yu Qiuping with a wry smile, "That kid must say that you understand, do you understand?" ”

Yuqiu shook his head solemnly, "I don't know what he's talking about at all." ”

Just when more than a dozen people from the Imagawa family didn't figure out why Sanada Masayuki suddenly proposed cooperation, Imamiya Leding walked over and saluted Yuqiu in parallel: "I was offended before, Lord Yuqiu." ”

"Don't dare to be." Yu Qiuping hurriedly returned the salute, "You are at the same level as the Lord in Xia, and you can't afford such a big gift." ”

"I can't hide it, I'm confused about it. This matter is also related to the security of the lower territory. Imamiya Le Ding smiled bitterly, "Please also ask your Excellency to solve your doubts?" ”

"It might not be very convenient here." Yu Qiuping looked at many people around him who had fallen asleep but gathered around because of the violent fighting, "I'm going to go back to the camp to rest first." ”

"That's okay, my lord, please." Imamiya Leding beckoned a few of his men to go to the West City to open the city gate, and led Yu Qiuping towards the camp, "I will invite you to the castle tower to give advice." ”

·

After Yu Qiuping returned to the camp in the northwest with his group, he immediately called all the fifty or so people together to figure out a way.

Before Yu Qiuping could speak, Yoshioka Katsumasa was the first to hold back.

"My lord, what's going on! I'm confused! Yoshioka Katsumasa said with a smile, "My head is running out!" I can't figure out what everyone is doing! ”

"yes." Ogawa Yudong had been drinking all night and said drunkly, "I always thought that I would encounter this kind of border conflict. It is to send hundreds of ashigaru and ninjas to investigate a circle, find clues, and draw conclusions after catching the culprit. ”

"It's good this time," Ogawa Yudong poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and complained with a mouthful of wine, "We first pretended to be a caravan and did not honestly investigate in the name of the Imagawa family. Then he clashed with the investigation team of his allies. What's even more puzzling is that this ally, who may be the potential culprit, actually proposes to cooperate? ”

"I feel like my head is big." Naoe Tadahei shook his head vigorously, "I don't know what to do?" Why did Masayuki Sanada come up with such a ridiculous proposal for cooperation? He clearly knows that the two of us don't trust each other, and we suspect that they are the culprits behind the scenes! ”

"Enemies are killed, friends are guarded, where there is so much trouble." Honda Nabenosuke snorted.

"But who is the enemy and who is the friend?" Amano Jingde said in a deep voice.

"Everyone be quiet, don't disturb the adults to think about the problem." Fukushima Yasunari stopped by saying something, pointing to Yu Qiuping, who was bowing his head and contemplating. The latter was also helpless about the chaotic situation, and did not know how to respond to Sanada Masayuki's offer of cooperation.

Who is behind this? The Takeda family, the Hojo family, or something else? What is Sanada's attitude? What is Imamiya's attitude? What is that mysterious black hand thinking at the moment?

So many conditions are mixed with each other, making the situation confusing. How to deal with Sanada Masayuki's proposal?

Suddenly, in Yu Qiuping's mind, a sentence from the math teacher sounded - solve multivariate problems and discuss them by classification!

"There it is!" Yu Qiuping said suddenly.

"Let's sort it out!" Yu Qiuping brought a brush and paper, and the guards immediately found the inkstone and began to study the ink.

"If the mastermind behind the scenes is not the Takeda family, then our cooperation with the Takeda family not only has our security been better guaranteed, but also conducive to the collection and communication of intelligence, which is really the best choice."

"If the mastermind behind the scenes is the Takeda family," Yu Qiuping paused, "Don't forget that the mission of our trip is to deal with the masterminds behind the scenes and find out enough information." Then working with them means more opportunities to get information. And they will definitely be able to hide the traces of the group behind the scenes, and we can also take the opportunity to obtain a lot of information. ”

"But it's also dangerous." Naoe Tadahei reminded.

"No, it's not the fifty or so people from the Takeda family who are in the Ming Place," Yu Qiuping said, "They are evenly matched with us, and they can't kill us." The real danger is the group in the shadows. But even if we don't cooperate with Sanada Masayuki," Yu Qiuping shrugged, "that gang will also find an opportunity to attack us." ”

"To sum up, we should work with the Takeda family to investigate who is behind the scenes." Yu Qiuping ended the analysis.

After hearing Yu Qiuping's analysis, everyone pondered for a while and nodded in agreement.

"I really admire my lordship," Yoshioka Katsumasa said with a smile, "Such a dangerous and complicated situation, adults can analyze it so quickly, anyway, my brain is definitely not enough, I will cut whoever my adult asks me to cut." ”
