On September 27, inside the castle tower of Sunpu Castle.

Winter is approaching, and residents outside Junfu City** have begun to buy winter clothes. However, this also means that Yu Qiuhei and Sena Shijun must speed up the settlement of autumn accounts. It's not an easy job. Yu Qiuping has to face a mountain of accounts every day, but these accounts are still confidential documents, and no one can be found to help.

Outside of work, the only leisure fun is an unexpected encounter with Kaede Imagawa in the castle tower.

The castle tower has a total of five floors, with Akihei's residence on the fourth floor and Kaede Imagawa's boudoir on the fifth floor. Every time Yu Qiuping went to the fifth floor, when he asked for instructions in Imagawa Yoshimoto's house, he would always deliberately go down the farthest stairs, because in this way he could pass by Imagawa Kaede's boudoir. Imagawa Kaede would always quietly leave a crack in the door, and when she heard the familiar footsteps coming from the corridor, she would open the maid beside her and get up and go out casually.

After Yu Qiuping heard the sound of getting up in the boudoir, he quietly slowed down. Sure enough, a moment later, the door was pushed open, and the girl's smiling face was greeted by a flowery face, dressed in sky-blue feathers and white breeches, and her waist-length hair tied into a ponytail.

Imagawa Kaede and Yu Qiuping looked at each other and smiled, they couldn't communicate too much. After all, there are many servants and guards in the corridors of the castle tower. At the moment when the two passed by, Imagawa Kaede suddenly quickly stuffed a small paper ball into Yu Qiuping's palm, Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, walked down the stairs quickly, returned to the office, turned his back to Sena Shitoshi, and carefully opened the paper ball.

On the paper ball, a line of words was written in small block letters: "I went to the back mountain for a picnic at four o'clock in the afternoon, and I was ready to eat." ”

Yuqiu was overjoyed and snickered, but as soon as he saw Sena's tired demeanor, he felt a little unbearable. He knew that Sena was also a good person, and as long as he asked for leave, he would definitely approve it.

"It's good to stay up late at night to make up for today's amount." Yu Qiuping secretly calculated.

Before lunch, Yu Qiuping rode away from Junfu City and went straight to the back mountain. When he saw the girl's shadow in the maple forest made of paper, the guilt and tiredness in his heart immediately disappeared. Kaede Imagawa tied her horse to a tree not far away, and she was bending over herself, arranging her picnic mat spread out on the ground, next to which was a large basket rested, and a stream was not far away. The hair hangs down the neck and gently sways in the breeze, which is particularly moving.

Hearing Yu Qiuping's footsteps, Imagawa Kaede raised his head and smiled, "Ping, you're here." ”

"Why are you always so punctual?" Kaede Imagawa looked up at the position of the sun, "I'm late, and I haven't finished preparing yet." ”

"If you promise a good time, you can't be late." Yu Qiuping also tied the reins to the tree, "Feng'er, why are you late?" ”

"What's the call!" Kaede Imagawa grumbled, "Okay... It's been quite a few times. ”

"Do you want to hear the truth?" Kaede Imagawa stuck out his tongue, "I took a nap and then overslept." ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's good for the skin for girls to sleep more." Yu Qiuping smiled, "No wonder Feng'er's skin is so good!" Yu Qiuping said while smiling evilly and walked to Imagawa Kaede's side, hugged the bent Imagawa Kaede, and stroked her face lightly, "It turns out that it's because I sleep lazily every day!" ”

"It's all heresy again." Imagawa Kaede muttered and pushed Yu Qiuping away, "Okay, ready." She bowed, "Pingjun, please sit down first." ”

"How dare you?" Yu Qiuping smiled again, and also made a "please" posture, "Her Royal Highness the princess sits first." ”

The picnic is simple but delicious, with fresh sashimi, a small pot of miso soup and a few rice balls. The rice balls are hand-wrapped by Kaede Imagawa, although Kaede Imagawa, who has never been good at learning cooking, the rice balls she makes don't look and taste very good. But boys in love have always cared not much about taste, eating what the girl made for herself for the first time, Yu Qiuping only felt that his whole heart was filled with sweetness, and he praised it deliciously. Imagawa Kaede took a sip of miso soup and covered his mouth with his sleeve when drinking the soup, an elegant etiquette that Yu Qiuping has not been able to imitate.

After the meal, Yu Qiuhei and Imagawa Kaede snuggled under the maple tree, chatting without a word, and then simply closed their eyes and took a nap under the tree, but they both felt very happy. The embarrassment caused by silence only exists between unfamiliar people, when they fully understand each other, and rely on each other under the paper red leaves that symbolize love, silence is just an environment for love to precipitate.

Suddenly, Yu Qiuping noticed that his stallion seemed to be circling around the snow-white mare of Kaede Imagawa. From time to time, he snorted, trying to attract the mare's attention.

"Hey, look at my horse," Yu Qiuping hugged the crook of Imagawa Kaede's arm and shook slightly, and Imagawa Kaede, who closed his eyes and recuperated, blinked, and was also amused by the scene in front of him.

"Oh! I almost forgot! Kaede Imagawa jerked up and walked over to his horse. She untied another bag from the side of the saddle, took out two wooden katanas, and gently raised them at Yu Qiuping, smiling evilly.

"Feng'er... You are..."Yu Qiuping was confused.

"The little woman remembers that when the little girl mentioned that Lord Yuqiu's skills were not as good as the little woman, the general still didn't believe it." Imagawa Kaede deliberately used humility and honorifics to sarcastically say, "I hope that the adults will give you advice today." ”

"This..."Yu Qiuping was a little embarrassed for a while, although the man in love also didn't care about face, but if he admitted defeat like this, he was still a little too cowardly, so he planned to find an excuse to push and drag it over, "You don't wear protective gear, what should I do if you get injured?" ”

"Don't worry, sir." Imagawa Kaede smiled, "The skills of adults can't touch the little girl at all." ”

Being so despised by him, Yu Qiuping still felt a little unbearable on his face, so he also got up and patted the dust on his clothes, put on a great look, and reached out to take the wooden knife, "Your Royal Highness the princess, don't regret it." He said with a strong pretense.

"Okay." Imagawa Kaede didn't say much, a sword step jumped forward directly, raised his hand and stabbed straight away, and went straight to the door of Yuqiu. Yu Qiuping saw that this knife was fierce, even if it was a wooden sword, it was estimated that it would kill people, and he retreated back again and again in a panic, and dodged it violently like playing dodgeball in his previous life, and gave way to this knife. Unexpectedly, Imagawa Kaede was light and vigorous, and his right foot on the ground almost did not stagnate, and it was another blow like a dancing elf. Yu Qiuping asked himself if he had the ability to lean back like Hinay Taehyung, so he had to squat down with his head in his hands, and the sound of the "whirring" wind above his head scared him enough. Before he could react, Imagawa Kaede didn't have a trace of a smile on his face, and it was another split, and Yu Qiuping ran backwards with a rolling belt, and the wind carried by the wooden knife blew on his face, which made Yu Qiuping startled.

Next, Imagawa Kaede made a fierce move that left no room for error, scaring Yu Qiuping so much that he didn't even dare to block, and he fled backwards with all his strength, and was forced to the edge of the stream.

"Ahh Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping's embarrassed appearance, bent over with a smile, and imitated Yu Qiuping's tone sarcastically, "You don't wear protective gear, what should I do if you get injured?" ”

Yu Qiuping suddenly flashed a thought, quietly put the wooden knife into the stream next to him, and said with a wicked smile, "Don't be complacent!" As soon as the words fell, Yu Qiuping slammed down, and the splash of water scooped up by the wooden knife hit Imagawa Kaede's cheek. Imagawa Kaede was caught off guard, and Yu Qiuping rushed forward quickly, slashing down with great force. Imagawa Kaede had to raise his sword to block, but in terms of strength alone, how could a girl compare with a strong man like Yu Qiuping? The knife in Kaede Imagawa's hand was directly chopped to the ground by Yu Qiuping.

"Hey, hey!" Yu Qiuping looked at Kaede Imagawa, who had no weapons, and laughed, "How is it, Your Highness the Princess!" Didn't expect that, right? ”

"Sneak attacks are not the work of heroes!" Imagawa Kaede said dissatisfiedly, "Of course, you have to use a knife to test the knife technique!" How can you have a water fight! ”

"That's not it! Surprise to cover up unpreparedness, this is the mystery of the art of war! Yu Qiuping said triumphantly, raising the knife in his hand, "Compared with the knife method, it is not necessary to use a knife!" ”

"That's what you said." Imagawa Kaede sneered, and at the moment when Yu Qiuping raised the knife, he jumped to Yu Qiuping's side. In the electric light, she held Yu Qiuping's neck with one hand, and Yu Qiuping's waist from behind with the other hand, stood with her left foot, and kicked Yu Qiuping's calf with her right foot, and her hands worked clockwise at the same time, Yu Qiuping's whole figure was suddenly overturned in the air, and after turning like a windmill for most of a circle, he fell heavily to the ground on all fours, and the wooden knife also fell into the hands of Imagawa Kaede.

When Yuqiu calmed down and struggled to open her eyes, she saw the girl's cheeks close at hand, flushed with sweat beads from the vigorous exercise just now. The part of the chest of the blouse, which has been wet with water, is tightly attached to the body, outlining the graceful outline of the girl's breasts. Imagawa Kaede gasped slightly, and the blue breath he exhaled carried a faint aroma. And the wooden knife was also put on Yu Qiuping's neck.

"Surprise to cover up her unpreparedness," Imagawa Kaede winked mischievously, "This is what Heijun said, the little girl has been taught." ”

However, seeing Yu Qiuping, he didn't respond, just looked at himself in a daze. Imagawa Kaede's face turned red and said angrily, "What are you looking at!" ”

Yuqiu calmed down, realized his tense, and was a little incoherent for a while, "Uh... Watching... That..."

Imagawa Kaede turned his face sideways, not letting Yu Qiuping see the light smile on her face, and then turned back solemnly, "Normally, at the end of our Imagawa family, there will be a martial arts competition, and you have the official position of a general, so you must go to participate." Practice hard these days, don't be ashamed. ”
