"You! Autumn foliage in rain! I know you're strong! With unparalleled abilities! Oda Nobunaga suddenly raised his voice, "I don't care if you are a crosser or not, whether you fought with Yu before or not, no matter what your status!" As long as you are willing to follow Yu and work hard, Yu will promote and reuse you! Yu Weicai moves, regardless of background! As long as you are willing to dedicate your loyalty to me, even if you show your skills and ambitions, Yu will never interfere with you and create your own inheritance! Don't worry about the gossip of the villain! ”

This sentence was so enthusiastic, and every word fell straight into Yu Qiuping's heart, which made him feel a wave of emotion of "death for a confidant". Yes, what I have always longed for is to be recognized, to be able to do a big job without being tied hands and feet!

"Yu knows! You've never dreamed of killing the traitor who killed your governor! Oda Nobunaga said sharply, "Yu promises you that as long as you contribute to the Oda family, when Yu hits the Sunfu one day, he will tell you who the traitor is!" Let you go and execute him yourself! But the wish of the heart! ”

It turned out that Oda Nobunaga didn't suspect me ... I'm just worried that I'm too embarrassed to say what I want to do with revenge...

"You once said that I was the Fengyun of the Warring States! So! You! Are you willing to dedicate your loyalty to Yu? Oda Nobunaga barely gave Akihei time to think, and asked anxiously.

His words seemed to have a hypnotic magic—a bit like the contagious power of the Führer of the Third Reich in later generations, and people couldn't help but follow his logic.

"Willing to dedicate loyalty to the Oda family!" Yu Qiuping blurted out - if he had prepared it a long time ago, he had an extra emotion when he said it - which made Yu Qiuping a little confused.

When I walked out of the inner room, the handle of the rib blade that I had just held was still hot.

Yu Qiuping lightly touched the ribs, but didn't dare to touch it again, everything that happened just now turned out to be a little unreal.

I'm not trying to... Kill him!

·

After Yu Qiuping left, in the inner room.

"Come out." Oda Nobunaga sat down, pulled out the folding fan around his waist, and knocked it on the tatami mat.

Behind the screen in the inner room, Lin Xiuzhen and three heavily armed ninjas walked out.

"Sado, you're worried too much, aren't you?" Oda Nobunaga smiled disdainfully, "I also deliberately asked the horses not to search for the ribs of the rainy autumn and autumn leaves, and asked Yu to deliberately use 'revenge' to deceive him, and then go back to the story." ”

"No," Oda Nobunaga spread his hands, "Yuqiu Momiji has no dissenting intentions at all, and after being intimidated by me, he didn't try to assassinate or hold Yu hostage." He was just disheartened after being banished and came to us, hoping to avenge his father-in-law one day. ”

Oda Nobunaga said as he untied the wine gourd on his waist, flicked the stopper with his hand, drank the wine in the gourd with his neck on his neck, smacked his lips with an endless aftertaste, and smiled at Lin Xiuzhen: "Your arrangement is all flattering to the blind man." ”

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Lin Xiuzhen bowed, "Please also ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

"Not guilty, no guilt, hurry down, there will be an evaluation meeting later" Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, "In the future, I should focus less on the rebellion of my colleagues, and I believe that Yu will look at people's eyes." ”

"Never missed." He looked up, a smug gleam in his eyes.

On the evening of July 20, on the first floor of the castle tower of Cheongju Castle, an evaluation meeting was held for the entire Oda family. Samurai with the rank of general and above came from all over Owari for the meeting. It seems that the goal of this meeting is to let Yu Qiuping meet with everyone on the one hand, and to discuss the future strategic policy on the other hand, which is obviously a very crucial meeting.

After Yu Qiuping came down from the castle tower, there was still some time before the meeting was held. The brightly lit conference room is larger than the conference room in Junfu City, but it is far less elegant than Junfu City in terms of decoration, but looks a little rustic.

Yu Qiuping sat down in the position where he should be sitting under the guidance of the small surname - that is, the position of the general. Beside him, there was a person who sat down early. That person is obviously not young, almost forty years old, and his appearance is also a little vicissitudes, with a standard samurai moon generation head. The samurai suit on his body was dark brown, and it was obvious that it had faded and turned white because he had washed it too many times. And this samurai's facial features are powerful and powerful, with an innate solemnity in his expression, even if the hall is empty, he sits straight and does not squint, so that Yu Qiuping was in awe when he first saw it.

"In the rainy autumn flat, I don't know what this highness is called?" Yu Qiuping saw that since he was sitting with him, he must also be a general, so he used the title of respect.

The man was stunned for a moment, then he turned around, saw the red leaf shawl on Yu Qiuping's shoulder, and bowed his hand and said, "In Shimomori Sanzaemon can be completed." ”

"It turned out to be His Highness Sen? Sure enough, it lives up to its name. Yu Qiuping looked at Sen Kecheng's upright sitting posture and praised sincerely. This Mori Kosei was also a great samurai in history, and he followed Oda Nobunaga in the southern and northern wars, and was quite useful. However, in the battle with the Asai Asakura family, he unfortunately died because he was outnumbered while defending the castle. It is worth mentioning that he also has four sons, all of whom will fight to the death for the Oda family in the future, and can be said to be loyal and martyrful. Based on this, Yu Qiuping was impressed by his conduct.

"His Royal Highness Momiji's name of benevolence and righteousness is well known to the world, and he is ashamed to be ashamed." Sen Kecheng didn't say a lot, but he just praised it. Yu Qiuping saw that his attitude was so friendly, and he also bowed his hand in return and said: "Where is it, His Highness Sen has praised it!" How can he be called so? ”

Yu Qiuping thought that Sen Kecheng, a seemingly unsociable person, might take advantage of the situation to be humble for a few words, and then end the conversation between the two. However, to his surprise, after Sen Kecheng heard his return salute, he frowned, and an unhappy look appeared on his face.

Yu Qiuping didn't understand why his kind and modest humility actually caused the latter's displeasure. However, after a while, Sen Kecheng's face still did not improve, and it seemed that some anger even rose. Yu Qiuping didn't want to stiffen the relationship, so he cautiously said, "I don't know why Your Highness is angry?" But where did you offend Your Highness? ”

Sen Kecheng frowned, and after hesitating for a while, he still said in a low voice: "Your Highness Hongye, you must know that I never praise people easily. ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Your Highness, I admire you very much for your work in helping the victims of the disaster regardless of whether they are friends or enemies," Sen Kecheng explained in a low voice in that somewhat hoarse voice, "I sincerely express my admiration to you, and I don't need a polite answer." ”

Sen Kecheng, in the original history, was such an upright man. He doesn't talk much, he is not good at communicating, and every word that comes out of his mouth is heart-to-heart. Because of this, he didn't know how to seize the opportunity because he wasn't tactful enough, and just quietly did what he had to do, and he didn't succeed like Hideyoshi Hashiba, but his loyalty and reliability still won him the trust of Oda Nobunaga - and he finally repaid the kindness with his death.

"It's that I'm hypocritical," Yu Qiuping shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not okay to accompany you, it won't be like this in the future." ”

"It's a bit impulsive to speak in the next, please don't blame His Royal Highness Yuqiu." Sen Kecheng shook his head, indicating that he would not take it to heart.

"I heard that His Highness Mori is from Mino?" Yu Qiuping opened his mouth to find words.

"Yes, Mino, from Haguri." Sen Kecheng replied.

"Your Highness, when you are adrift, do you often feel homesick?" Yu Qiuping asked casually.

"Of course it will." Sen Kecheng sighed and said, "When His Royal Highness the Governor takes down Mino, you must go back to your hometown to have a look." It's been almost ten years..."

As he spoke, he also touched on Yu Qiuping's sadness. Isn't he a wanderer in a foreign land? First of all, he left his world, left China, and came to this strange continent. At one point, he was tortured to the point of almost collapse because he missed his relatives and hometown. He finally adapts to Suruga, makes a group of good friends, meets two elders who care for him, has his own home and business, and gradually adapts to Suruga's life, but is forced to leave the country again - to this strange Owari.

"I'm so homesick too..."Yu Qiuping subconsciously confided in his true words, "I don't know what happened to my parents who are still in Mingguo... I suddenly disappeared, and they must be going crazy. They are just one of my children, and half of their life's hard work is pinned on me..."As he spoke, Yu Qiuping was a little choked up and couldn't go on.

Sen Kecheng looked at Yu Qiuping suddenly so low, and he also felt the same way. He stretched out his strong arm and gently patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder.

"It will pass," he didn't seem to be very comforting when he was stupid, "Jiren has his own natural appearance, and Lingzun Lingtang will definitely be fine." ”

The two chattered about their hometown and their homesickness. Sen Kecheng didn't say much, mainly Yu Qiuping was talking. Before you know it, time is gradually passing, more and more people are rushing to the evaluation hall, and the evaluation meeting is about to be held.

"His Royal Highness Sen..."Yu Qiuping opened his mouth again and was about to talk about the snow scene in his hometown, but was suddenly interrupted by Sen Kecheng waving his hand.

"You don't have to be so angry, just call me Sanzaemon." Sen Kecheng shook his head.

"How's that going to work?" Yu Qiuping hurriedly vetoed, "Your Highness is twenty years older than me, and you are all old enough to be my father, so how can you be equal?" ”

"Why don't you..."Yu Qiuping pondered for a moment, "How about calling you Senpai?" ”

Sen Kecheng was stunned for a moment, Gujing Wubo's face was actually a little moved, and he nodded in recognition of this title.

·

Suddenly, at the moment when Yu Qiuping turned his head, he suddenly felt that he might have missed something important. He hurriedly turned back to look for it, only to see a few samurai who were walking into the venue, led by a big man.

"Am I wrong?" Yu Qiuping shook his head, trying to expel the chaotic thoughts from his mind - but he was suddenly stunned.

He looked at the big man again, who was not very tall, but he was really very burly.

It's familiar...

Where do you think you've seen it?

Yuqiu Ping looked at it, and there seemed to be a family crest on the man's samurai suit that was not the Papaya pattern of the Oda family—but two geese arranged up and down.

Time seemed to freeze in an instant, and thoughts came flooding in.

Yu Qiuping jerked his head up and stared at the man's bearded face—he also happened to be looking at Yu Qiuping.

It's you... You can't go wrong...

It's you!
