"What are you here for?"

Am I here for something?

My only purpose here is to kill you, Oda Nobunaga!

Yu Qiuping raised his head, and his gaze met the sharp eyes of the eagle falcon.

On the evening of July 20, Yu Qiuping met with Oda Nobunaga at Kiyoshu Castle. After stopping and stopping, he arrived at Kiyoshu Castle on the afternoon of July 20, and after stationing Tokiwabei outside the castle town and Kaede Imagawa in the house of the Maeda Toshiie, he went to the castle tower of Kiyoshu Castle under the leadership of Hayashi Xiuzhen and Takigawa Kazuyi.

As the richest city in Owari Province, Kiyoshu Castle will definitely not lose to Sunpu Castle in terms of population and commerce. The orderly castle towns and bustling bazaars highlight the city's vitality, while the endless farmland outside Cheongju makes Yu Qiuping realize that the "Nowei granary" is not for nothing. As an important gateway between the Kanto and Kansai regions of Japan, Owari has long been known for its thriving business. During the era of Oda Nobuhide and Oda Nobunaga, the two of them repeatedly formulated policies that favored merchants and commerce, making more and more merchants willing to trade in Owari, and Owari's economy prospered. Cheongju Town is the most prosperous commercial market.

In Cheongju Castle, there is also a vibrant atmosphere. The samurai were in good spirits and hurried through the streets, not wanting to waste a little time. Craftsmen, merchants, farmers, and samurai all worked very hard and were busy – something very different from the atmosphere of Sunpu Castle. Although there was also a prosperous business and a large population, the social atmosphere was relatively lazy, and the density of various entertainment facilities was much higher than that of Cheongju City. And the samurai in Sunfu Castle also lacked enterprising spirit, chanting poetry and drinking all day long, so it is no wonder that they are called the female samurai of Suruga.

I don't know why this is the case, but perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Imagawa family has gradually declined and the Oda family has gradually risen.

However, Yu Qiuping didn't have time to think about this, and he was kneeling in front of Oda Nobunaga at the moment. Yu Qiuping felt that the rules of the Oda family were obviously much less than those of the Imagawa family, and they were brought to the top floor of the Honmaru castle tower from Kiyoshu Castle to the top floor of the Honmaru castle tower, without going through a few procedures, but lacking the solemnity and majesty of the family governor.

Maybe the governor himself doesn't care about these things yet?

Oda Nobunaga, who was wearing a samurai uniform with his shoulders bare, carried a katana and many bits and pieces around his waist. There seems to be a small wooden wine gourd - Yu Qiuping is very skeptical that such a small gourd can hold enough wine to drink in one sip. There was also a flint and steel that resembled the arquebus, a copper coin, a folding fan, and a lot of strange things... And he didn't wear wooden shoes, but dragged a pair of straw sandals casually—most likely mentioned by Kinoshita Toyoshiro, and his hair was not shaved into Tsukiyo's head, but only tied in a bun at the back of his head—and the heroic Oda Nobunaga that Yu Qiuhei saw in Tange, was obviously a big fool.

Then, Oda Nobunaga, who had his back to Yu Akihei, casually asked, "What are you here for?" ”

Then, he turned around and looked at Yu Qiuping's eyes condescendingly—and directly made the latter stunned in place.

The casualness and uninhibition just now were swept away, replaced by a fire that danced in his eyes and a sharp insight into everything. Yu Qiuping immediately felt a compelling momentum - it was somewhat similar to the murderous aura that Imagawa Yoshimoto once burst out at the moment he held the knife. Oda Nobunaga seems to have changed as a person, suddenly from the bohemian "Owari big fool" to the domineering "Warring States Storm", and even has the shadow of the "Sixth Heavenly Demon King" who will be feared in the future.

And this change only happens in the blink of an eye.

"He's killed people." This was the first thought in Yu Qiuping's heart at that time, "This is the momentum that has been honed after killing many people and going through countless experiences." ”

"Answer me! Why? Oda Nobunaga seemed very pleased with the way Akihei was stunned, and asked aggressively.

"I was chased and released by the master's family, my reputation was ruined, and I had nowhere to go," Yu Qiuping hurriedly said the words that had been good before, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he leaned down deeply, "I have heard for a long time that Your Highness is tolerant of all rivers, regardless of your past suspicions, and you are impressed by Your Highness's talent, so I rushed to the Oda family." ”

"Oh?" Oda Nobunaga snorted with interest, noncommittal to Akihei's answer. With his right hand, he held the mustache at the corner of his mouth, and slowly wandered on the floor in front of Yuqiu. Yu Qiuping, who had his head down, could only see Oda Nobunaga's straw sandals slightly through his peripheral vision, listening to the rhythmic footsteps, his heart was uneasy, and sweat began to slide down the corners of his eyes.

Oda Nobunaga seemed to pass in front of him.

It seems to have walked back again.

It seems to have taken a few steps back.

The rhythmic footsteps and the ups and downs of straw sandals mingled together, making Yu Qiuping feel more and more tormented.

"Liar!"

Suddenly! Oda Nobunaga stomped his foot violently, followed by an angry roar, which directly scared Yu Qiuhei almost to his stomach. Oda Nobunaga grabbed Yu Qiuping's collar and picked him up, then put his face in front of Yu Qiuping's face, and roared loudly at Yu Qiuping: "Didn't you come to Oda's house to take revenge!" Aren't you here to avenge the government? ”

The sudden change made Yu Qiuping's head blank, and time seemed to have stood still. He couldn't even remember how long he had been being carried.

"That's right!" Oda Nobunaga sneered and casually threw Yu Qiuping on the floor.

Finished.

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, at a loss, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

It's over, and it's been seen, Oda Nobunaga has long seen that I'm here for revenge, and he really recruited me with bad intentions, and he wanted to recruit me to kill me.

The troops were all outside the city, and it was too late to dispatch. Going deep into the hinterland of Owari, it is estimated that there are few people who can escape. Feng'er is also in the city, and it is estimated that she is more than lucky.

In the next second, I guess Oda Nobunaga will give some order, and then let the samurai who are lying in ambush outside the house rush up and take me down on the spot.

In the flash of light, Yu Qiuping's left hand unexpectedly grasped the rib cha left by Sena Shitoshi - it was hidden in his clothes. Before entering the inner room just now, the guards only took out their own katana Chidori when searching their bodies, and accidentally missed the rib gap.

I have never pulled out this rib. Now is the last chance to pull it out...

Yu Qiuping quickly glanced at the situation inside the room - the doors on both sides were nearly five meters away from the center where the two people were, and the doors had not yet opened. Oda Nobunaga clenched his right hand into a fist, as if in a pose to match the loud scolding, and his left hand was on his waist—but the handle of the katana was on the right.

He didn't have time to draw his sword! It's too late for someone to save him!

Pull out the ribs and rush up to hold him hostage! Coerce the others out of the way, give me and everyone a chance to escape! It's a big deal to kill him, and it can be regarded as revenge for the governor!

Yu Qiuping almost subconsciously wanted to twitch the ribs, and his body was ready to jump up. However, during the previous fight with Okabe Masatsuna, the serious injury to his left hand was not completely healed, and the rib was surprisingly difficult to pull out for some reason. Yu Qiuping didn't pull out the ribs for the first time, but instead there was a sharp pain because of the wound, and he cried out.

Finished.

His shout immediately aroused the vigilance of the guards outside the house. Yoshiyuki Sawaki and Rytaka Beehouse, who were on duty outside the door, immediately rushed into the room with the mother-clothed crowd - only to see the scene of Yu Qiuhei kneeling on the ground due to pain, and Oda Nobunaga standing in front of him in a domineering manner.

"What are you doing here? I'm talking to Yuqiu and Autumn Autumn Leaves! Oda Nobunaga waved his hand unhappily and drove the bards out of the crowd that rushed in. Although Yu Qiuping was confused, he had a kind of happiness for the rest of his life after the catastrophe - what did Oda Nobunaga mean that he didn't plan to arrest himself immediately?

"Yu guessed that you really want to take revenge on the traitor who killed Imagawa Jibu!" Oda Nobunaga said in a deep voice, "If you want to, you have to say it directly!" Don't talk about those empty words, Yu is most annoying about those things! What's so embarrassing! Say that you are attracted by Yu's talent, and will you believe it if you say it yourself? Don't you just want to survive, become a powerful person, and then take revenge! What's so embarrassing! Say it! ”

"Huh?" Yu Qiuping raised his head in a daze and looked at Oda Nobunaga. Unexpectedly, he actually understood the revenge of Imagawa Yoshimoto so well... It's really a life.

Oda Nobunaga seemed to misunderstand Yu Qiuping's "ah" again, but suddenly laughed: "Yu is different from those female warriors who like to flatter in Imagawa, Yu wants to listen to the truth." In the same way, the retainers of Yu Yao must also be useful and capable, and they don't want those old immortals! ”

Oda Nobunaga bent down suddenly, stared into Yu Qiuping's eyes, and put his two hands on Yu Qiuping's shoulders, "As long as you have talent, as long as you can do things for Yu!" Yu: No matter what your background, what your background, or why you came to Yu, you will be hired! You don't have to worry about the rain and autumn leaves! ”

"You don't have to worry that being an enemy of the Oda family for a time will bring you unwarranted suspicions," Oda Nobunaga patted Yu Qiupei's shoulder, "Yu's subordinates, Quan Roku betrayed Yu and wanted to kill Yu!" But he has the ability, and Yu will still reuse and promote him! Hikoemon is a ninja, the monkey is a handyman, and Sanzaemon is a stranger from Mino, and as long as he is capable, he will reuse it! ”

For a moment, Yu Qiuping was completely swayed by Oda Nobunaga's extremely infectious words, following his train of thought blankly and listening to his teachings, which were an indescribable force. Oda Nobunaga's words spoke to his heart, and he had always been worried about his strange origin and identity as Watarato, fearing that he would be ostracized. When he arrived at Oda's house, he was worried about his status as a hostile one. Oda Nobunaga's words went straight to the point and helped Yu Qiuping dispel his doubts.

The charm of such a language... Déjà vu.
