Chapter 202: Revenge
The Japanese believe that the soul of a person is the soul of the soul. When a samurai wants to reveal his soul to the outside world, he will take the form of seppuku. From the beginning of the Minamoto Dynasty, seppuku has always been a glory unique to the samurai. However, after seppuku, samurai often do not die immediately, but suffer great pain that is unbearable for ordinary people. In order to alleviate the pain, it is common for another cronie to cut off his head, known as a memorial error.
When Sena Shijun seppuku, no one was wrong.
He simply dipped his brush in the blood that flowed out of his abdomen, trembled on the paper, and wrote down the death advice to Shou Gui Ni one by one. The pain is unbearable for others just thinking about it, let alone the person who witnessed it. By the time Sena sensed that something was wrong and rushed into the room, Sena had already finished writing a short cross-ess admonition, cleaned up the ribs for seppuku, and placed them tremblingly beside him.
"Bloody book... Handed over to His Highness Shou Gui Ni... Rib difference...... Leave it to the autumn leaves. Sena Jun took one last look at Sena and bowed slightly at his panicked son. He struggled not to fall, just to say the last words he had left for Yu Qiuping.
"Tell the kid that he has something to do."
"Those were my father's last words before he died." Sena Shiyi whispered to the tearful Yu Qiuping, "Let me convey it to you." With that, he handed the white ribs stained with red blood to Yu Qiuping's hand. When Yu Qiuping stretched out his hands, he obviously hadn't come back to his senses yet. Didn't realize it at all, it was the relic of that suave elder.
The moment the rib difference fell on his hand, under the cold touch, it seemed to have a thousand weights, so that Yu Qiuping almost couldn't hold this rib difference for a while. Yu Qiuping felt the pain of his internal organs being torn apart all at once, he couldn't breathe, tears kept pouring out, and the violent beating of his heart almost shattered his eardrums. The feeling that is difficult to describe in words pulls Yu Qiuping, and he falls all the way into the deepest pain.
Sena's advice to Shou Gui Ni with his death was granted permission by the old man.
"Shijun, he's worked for the Imagawa family all his life... A lifetime of conscientiousness, without any demands and complaints. This is the only request in his life, and the request he has made with his life is really difficult for the old body to refuse. After Shou Guini saw the blood book, he was stunned for a long time, and finally spit out this sentence.
Sena asks Shou Gui Ni to bypass Yu Qiuping's life, and if he is really worried that Yu Qiuping's future power will be difficult to balance, he can be exiled. And Sena Toshitoshi himself is willing to die to bear the two major responsibilities of the defeat of Narumi Castle and the provocation of a civil war.
I brought that child with me, and I couldn't bear to see him die.
One life for another, it's fair.
On the blood book, every stroke is the love and expectation of Yu Qiuping.
If it is said that the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto, for Yu Qiuping, it is more like the departure of his mentor. Sena's departure is like the pain of losing his father.
"Why..."Yu Qiuping listened to the relay of the samurai directly under the Imagawa family, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Tears fell on the ribs in his hand, and the blood stains were blurred. "Why did you let me live..."
"His Royal Highness Sena..."Yu Qiuping whimpered, "I haven't seen you for the last time..."
"You have your own family, your own territory, your own business, your own life... Compared to me, a prisoner who has nothing... Why the hell would you sacrifice yourself to keep me alive..."
A sentence suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Tell the kid that he has something to do."
Is it because of this? Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and his vision blurred by tears slowly focused on the ribs.
Rib cha - the thing that ends life.
Ending life... Whose life will end.
The revenge has not been avenged.
It's for me to go... Revenge? Revenge, revenge for His Royal Highness, revenge for hundreds of brothers! His Royal Highness Sena was afraid that I would die with regret and injustice, so I was allowed to live, to understand my hatred with my own hands, and to repay His Royal Highness the Governor.
Motonobu Okabe, Oda Nobunaga... You have taken the lives of my elders and subordinates who are so dear to me, and I will make you pay with blood!
Even at the expense of everything... I can't let His Highness Sena die in vain!
Yes, those who can't give up anything can't save anything.
Yu Qiuping held the ribs in his hand tightly, and the tears stopped at that moment. Instead, the fire of vengeance burned in his eyes. He carefully hid his ribs in his bosom and made a secret vow.
I was supposed to pick it up. The life that His Royal Highness Sena exchanged for was used for revenge.
Oda Nobunaga, Okabe Motonobu, sooner or later, I will stab this rib in your chest with my own hands.
I'm Yuqiuping, and I do what I say!
On June 26, the Imagawa family announced the final verdict on this defeat and the civil war.
During the battle, Sena Toshi and Akihei Rain lost their planes and let go of the Oda family's army, resulting in the death of the former governor in Narumi Castle. Later, the two mistakenly believed that there was a mole in the family, and usurped the Asahina family to start a war against the Okabe family. Sena Shijun committed suicide to apologize, and Yu Qiuhei was chased by the Imagawa family and was never hired.
Nian in Sena's hard work, after he seppuku, will no longer hold Sena accountable. The next governor of the Sena family was succeeded by his younger brother. The Yuqiu family was removed from the Imagawa family, and Tokiwa was also dismissed. The permanent staff will no longer pursue additional investigations, and it is up to them to decide what to do in the future. Those who are willing to follow Yu Qiuping can leave together. The Imagawa family provided them with several merchant ships, and they left together on July 1, never to be allowed to board the Imagawa family's territory again.
Yu Qiuping didn't plan to let his subordinates follow, he was bent on revenge, and he didn't want to drag down so many subordinates because of his mistakes. He ordered Tsunebanbei not to follow him anymore if anyone who had already started a family in the local area. Many of the ashigaru who joined later were indeed a little shaken, their ancestors were Suruga people for generations, and they also lived in Suruga for more than ten or twenty years before joining Tokiwa Bi, and all their relatives and friends are here, and they really want to leave, and they are reluctant to say anything. At Yu Qiuping's insistence, most of the subordinates who joined later still said goodbye to Yu Qiuping very regretfully. However, the autumn leaves that Yuakihei gave them were carefully preserved.
However, the 178 surviving of the 232 slaves in Nazhi Licheng, without exception, all asked to go with Yu Qiuping. Their family was originally sent to Mikawa Zhili Castle, not in Suruga, and had nothing to worry about. Previously, the Matsudaira family even sent an envoy to tell Yu Qiuping that although the territory of Zhili Castle was given to the Matsudaira family, the families of Yu Qiuping's subordinates would never be threatened. When these subordinates were slaves, the whole family received Yu Qiuping's great kindness, and Yu Qiuping's care for them made these honest people unforgettable. Yu Qiuping led them to fight in the north and south, won one victory after another, and it was an irreplaceable existence in their hearts, they were unwilling to leave when Yu Qiuping fell into a trough, but were willing to accompany Yu Qiuping on the road of exile. At the strong insistence of his subordinates, Yu Qiuping had to agree to leave with them. And most of the judges in the territory who were served by disabled soldiers and the craftsmen led by Lan Xiang Huadug were also willing to leave with Yu Qiuping. And Charlie and Amano, needless to say, naturally chose to follow.
To Amakihei's surprise, Sena Yoshiyoshi, Sanada Masayuki, and Honda Tadakatsu also decide to follow Akihei Amakihei, who had thought they might leave.
"Jia Yan gave you our family's heirloom, that's worth a lot of money! Wouldn't it be a great loss if I didn't follow you? Sena Yoshiro held back his crying and whispered. Then, he turned his head and quickly spit out a sentence with some embarrassment: "Jia Yan would rather die for the sake of Momiji." I trust Jiayan's judgment, so follow you and see why you are worthy of Jiayan doing so much for you. ”
"It stands to reason that as a hostage, Zai Xia should stay in Junfu." Sanada Masayuki explained with a smile, "However, Zai Xia has already discussed with His Royal Highness the Pavilion Master, and he will send another person to take his place as a hostage. And below, he is in charge of keeping an eye on you, Your Highness," Sanada Masayuki said with a smile, "His Royal Highness the Pavilion Master said that you are definitely not a thing in the pool. ”
"What about Nabenosuke?" Yu Qiupei looked at Honda Tadashi and sighed, "Now that the Matsudaira family has gained greater independence, they are seeking to regroup their former retainers. You're going back too. ”
"Your Highness's kindness is appreciated in my heart." Although Honda Tadashi is still a teenager, after two years of training, his face has become angular, "It's just that His Highness has stayed in the lower part of the country for the past two years, and he is unwilling to leave when His Royal Highness is in trouble." After His Highness regains his strength and settles down, he will return to the Lord's house. ”
"Thank you." Yu Qiuping said softly, "Thank you." ”
On June 28, Akihei was finally allowed to meet Kaede Imagawa, who was under house arrest in the castle tower. He had previously learned from Imagawa Kaede's maid Suzu, although both Imagawa Shin and Shou Guini had persuaded Imagawa Kaede to stay in the Sunfu and remarry after giving birth to a child. But Imagawa Kaede unusually firmly refused, and even protested with a hunger strike, determined to be exiled with Yu Qiuping as a princess. While Yu Qiuping was moved, he felt more distressed in his heart.
Standing at the door of Kaede Imagawa's bedroom, Yu Qiuhei was about to go crazy with two contradictory emotions in his heart. At this moment, he misses his lover very much, but he has no face to see her. He obviously has the historical knowledge of the time-traveler, but he still let Imagawa Yoshimoto unfortunately die in battle, and he returned defeated. Not only did he fail to protect Kaede Imagawa, but he even had to rely on Kaede Imagawa dragging his pregnant body to take risks, laying a trap and capturing Massuna Okabe to help him recover his decline.
What kind of face do I have to open this door? To face her...
Yu Qiuping's hand was pressed against the door, constantly trembling, but he couldn't make up his mind to pull it away. He was afraid to face Kaede Imagawa's tears, and he was afraid to face her disappointed eyes.
However, the door opened on its own.
A figure suddenly threw herself into his arms, like she had confessed in front of the paper red leaves. Yu Qiuping subconsciously hugged the person in his arms and felt her hair. He looked down, and the tear stains on the girl's face were clearly visible, and her expression was much haggard. He was distressed and remorseful, ready to accept all her reproaches and abuse.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I broke my promise. He apologized over and over again.
waited for only this sentence.
"Ping, you're still alive."
She hugged Yu Qiuping tightly. In the two months of separation, she didn't know how much pressure and pain she endured, how many times she dreamed in her dreams that he would never come back, and that the fetus in her womb would never have a father. At this moment, she actually felt that the warmth surrounding her was unreal, and as soon as she let go, she would leave forever. I have been separated for two months, but it seems to be as long as three lives and three lives.
"You're still alive," she said with a smile as she couldn't cry.
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, then cried out, hugged the person in his arms tightly, and muttered, "Yes, I'm still alive." ”
