After the wedding, the excited Asai Nagamasa planned to toast every guest in person, but no matter how much Yu Qiuping persuaded him, he couldn't dispel his thoughts. Even if Yu Qiuping deliberately helped him find the smallest cup on the banquet, it would be to no avail. Sure enough, after six cups, Asai Nagamasa was already a little delirious and couldn't walk steadily. Shinkuro, who was drunk with two bottles of sake in that tavern, seems to have not changed at all.

After seven cups, the drunken Asai Nagamasa fell asleep on a table, and was helped back by the crying and laughing Aichi. Yu Qiuping, who was originally interested in going to listen to the root of the wall, was also not interested, and unfortunately missed the seat of the wall root at the night of his brother's newlywed cave.

Early the next morning, in Asai Nagamasa's bedroom. Nagamasa Asai woke up from a hangover, and his consciousness was still a little unclear. Faintly, there is a trace of softness and warmth in his arms. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly woke up and looked into his arms. I saw that Ah Shi had taken off his makeup, was wearing a nightgown, and was curled up in his arms wrapped in a quilt, pillowed on the crook of his arm. A slender and soft little hand quietly rested on Asai Nagamasa's neck.

When Asai Nagamasa saw such a lovely sleeping face in Ashi, he suddenly felt that his heart was about to melt. Beauty is in her arms, but there is no trace of evil thoughts. She is like a simple and lovely little angel, who does not eat the fireworks of the world. He twisted his body slightly, allowing Ah Shi to sleep more comfortably. Then, he slowly opened his arms and tried to hold her in his arms.

However, some clumsy movements of Asai Nagamasa woke up Aichi. She frowned slightly, and after pursing her little red lips, she slowly opened her eyes. All of a sudden, I saw Asai Nagamasa who was close at hand. Ah Shi's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and he hurriedly buried his face in the shadows, not daring to look directly at Asai Nagamasa.

Seeing this, Asai Nagamasa also blushed. He rubbed Ah Shi's head apologetically and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I drank too much last night, and you missed the wedding night." ”

"Nope." Ah Shi's face flushed, "Lord Changzheng doesn't drink much." ”

"But I'm drunk." Asai Nagamasa whispered with some self-reproach, "Where haven't you drunk too much?" ”

"I mean..."Ah Shi said this, suddenly raised his head, looked at Asai Nagamasa with those big watery eyes, and smiled mischievously: "Lord Nagamasa didn't drink a few more drinks at all before he got drunk!" ”

"That's... No... That's..."Asai Nagamasa's face flushed with shame all of a sudden, and he tried to explain incoherently, "That's because... That's a lot of strong liquor! ”

The little couple who accompanied the newlywed Yan'er lived for more than ten days, and after being fed a stomach of dog food, Yu Qiuping was about to say goodbye. Asai Nagamasa and the Aichi couple reluctantly bid farewell to Yu Qiuping, and Yu Qiuping also smiled and wished them a hundred years of good together.

"By the way, I wish you an early birth to a noble son." Before Yu Qiuping left, he smiled and teased. The young couple immediately turned away shyly, and their clenched hands suddenly let go, as if they wanted to escape the reality of having a child.

"Changzheng, you are also a talent, and Ah Shi is a well-known beauty," Yu Qiuping praised: "The children born in the future must also be handsome men and beautiful women!" ”

Yu Qiuping remembered that in history, the three daughters of Asai Nagamasa and Ashi inherited the appearance of the two, all of them were talented and beautiful, and they were known as the three sisters of Asai. The eldest daughter Chacha married Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the second daughter Kochu married the famous Kyogoku family during the Muromachi Shogunate, and the third daughter Ajiang had three husbands, and finally married Tokugawa Ieyasu's son, Tokugawa Hidetada, the second shogun of the shogunate, can be described as a woman who is famous all over the world.

I really hope that in this life, their family will not have to encounter the ups and downs of life and death and troubled times.

I hope that the tragedy of Otani Castle in history will not be repeated.

Yu Qiuping looked at the two people who were snuggled together, sweet and happy, and made a wish from the bottom of his heart.

It's just that he doesn't remember, and he also prayed like this that the tragedy of the barrel narrow room will not be repeated.

On the way back, the group was much more relaxed. Sena's caravan traveled all over Nishimino to trade, while Akihei took two escorts, Tadashi Honda and Ryuko, to inspect Nishimino's military strength.

On February 3, the caravan arrived at the town of Inoguchi under Inabayama Castle to trade building materials. Previously, Oda Nobunaga burned down the entire town of Inoguchi, which made Sena Shiyoshi aware of a business opportunity. He immediately bought a large amount of building materials and resold them to the residents and merchants of Inoguchi Town, making a lot of money. This time, he's here to collect the last payment for building materials. Yu Qiuping was also able to revisit the hometown of Ryuko and Honda Tadashi to see this amazing fortified city in the world.

However, just as Yu Qiuping was wandering around the castle town, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. The young man was still very thin, his hair neatly tied into a samurai bun, and a few strands of hair hung down the side of his face.

"Messy?" Yu Qiuping called out with some surprise. But the man ignored Yu Qiuping, and continued to walk along the same path.

"Did you recognize the wrong person? Probably not. Yu Qiuping muttered to himself, and called again: "Half-guard? ”

After this shout, the man immediately reacted. He turned, his eyes wandering for the source of the sound - it was Matsushita Light! Yu Qiuping did not admit his mistake! The young man who broke the hexagonal family with no good plan has now become more mature!

After Panasonic searched for a moment, he immediately saw Yu Qiuping's figure. His expression shifted from surprise to surprise and then to unusually worried. He walked quickly in front of Yu Qiuping, who also walked towards him with a smile.

"Long time no see, Hanbei! Are these days okay? Yu Qiuping stopped and looked at Panasonic lightly. His figure seems to be a little thinner than before, and it is obvious that he is not in good health.

"It's been a long time, Momiji. Everything is fine, don't worry. "Panasonic is still as serious as before, even when they are polite to each other, they are still indifferent.

"Then why did you lose weight? Don't look good at looking good? Yu Qiuping looked at Panasonic with some suspicion, "Is it sick?" ”

"I have an old problem, my health has always been bad, and I am used to it." Matsushita smiled wryly and shook her head, without further explanation.

"But, Hanbei, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Yu Qiuping patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I went around Akasaka Castle several times before, but I didn't find you!" ”

"Uh..."Panasonic was a little embarrassed for some reason. After thinking for a moment, he diverted the topic and said, "Speaking of which, Momiji." Aren't you from the Oda family? Why did you come to Inabayama Castle? ”

"I won't hide it from you, we're all friends, and you won't take me to the Saito family, right," Yu Qiuping laughed and joked, "Do you know that the Oda family has formed an alliance with the Asai family?" ”

"I've heard about it," Matsushita nodded lightly, "I haven't sent a wedding gift to Changzheng yet." ”

"That's what I'm here for," Akihei said, pointing to the merchant's outfit on him, "Not long ago, I disguised myself as a merchant and escorted Princess Oda through Mino and sent her to Omi. Now that I'm on my way back, I'll stop by Inabayama Castle to have a look. ”

"That's right." Matsushita nodded slightly, and then sent an invitation to Yu Qiuping: "I haven't seen you for many years, this time the red leaves are here in Mino, you might as well have lunch together, I still have a lot of things I want to ask the red leaves." ”

"That's a real request." Yu Qiuping smiled and rubbed his hands, "I haven't seen you for many years, I want to have a good chat with you." ”

"Let's go, then." Matsushita lightly motioned for Yu Qiuping to follow him, and Yu Qiuping sent Honda Tadashi and Ryuko back to the caravan and went to eat with Matsushita lightly. However, neither of them noticed that in the darkness, several pairs of eyes were secretly watching them.

·

Outside the west gate of Inabayama Castle, inside the temporary residence of the Ando family.

"I didn't expect Hanbei to be a retainer of the Ando family!" Yu Qiuping said with some surprise, "You can actually enter and exit the Ando family's mansion at will, and you can invite me to dinner here." ”

"Sort of, His Royal Highness Ando is maintaining law and order in the city, and the mansion will be handed over to me." Matsushita nodded lightly and ordered the servants to start serving.

"Red leaves, do you remember your ambition to help the world with light and justice?" Matsushita looked at Yu Qiuping lightly and talked about the same topic as Asai Nagamasa. Yu Qiuping was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and nodded firmly.

"In the past few years, I have experienced a lot of dark things," Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "Because of my dereliction of duty, His Royal Highness the Governor died in battle." And after that, I was clearly loyal to the Imagawa family, but I was exiled on trumped-up charges. ”

"However, what makes me most sad is the battle of Yinma City four years ago," Yu Qiuping picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "I want to rescue the innocent people in Yinma City because of my kindness." But I didn't want to be used by Okabe Motoshin, he actually drove the people to rush into battle, and I was reluctant to do anything to the people. In the end, the subordinates collapsed and suffered heavy losses. ”

"Every time in the dead of night, I regret it," Yu Qiuping sighed and shook his head helplessly, "I killed so many brothers because of my mistakes back then, I'm really sorry for them." ”

"Momiji must not think like that," Matsushita frowned lightly, put the teacup flat on the table, shook his head firmly, and said, "It's Okabe Motonobu who is wrong, not Momiji." Although you gave up the siege and refused to kill so many of your men against the people, you saved at least a few thousand, didn't you? This is the reward for your kindness. What we have to do is to always uphold the light and justice, and to pacify all those who do anything for the sake of profit like Okabe Motonobu, so that there will be no more tragedies like this in the future, and we can also end the cycle of chaos that Momiji said you said! ”

"You're right, I was too negative before." Yu Qiuping nodded, agreeing with Matsushita's careless words.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of Saito Hall?" Yu Qiuping suddenly remembered this question. He vaguely remembered that in the history of his previous life, Saito Ryuko had always been an Adou-like figure who couldn't be helped. Why was it possible to almost push them into a desperate situation in the great war three years ago? "Rumors have it on our side that he sings almost all night, drunk and sleeps to death. Is he an incompetent, or is he actually wise and foolish? ”

This question made Panasonic stunned for a moment. After a moment, he spoke, "In my opinion, Saito Daiden is indeed very talented. But he is too casual in his life, and he will definitely bring disaster to the whole of Mino. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Qiuping asked in some surprise.

"Saito Daiden has been quite talented since he was a child, but because he was born with a golden key in his mouth, he has not experienced anything unpleasant, so his personality is too strong and willful." Matsushita sighed lightly and dissatisfied, took a sip of tea, and continued: "He behaves in the world, and he asks to do everything according to his wishes, rarely listening to the opinions of his retainers, and rarely caring about the people. ”

For example, three years ago, when the Patriarch had just died of illness. He rather forcefully abolished the collegial system of important ministers that had been in use for many years, and was eager to seize power by himself. In the subsequent war, he also refused to listen to the opinions of any of his retainers before the war, and insisted on launching a surprise attack, which eventually led to a great defeat. To be reasonable, if it weren't for the destruction of the pontoon bridge in that battle, the main hall would not even have had time to lay down the nineteen barricades. ”

"Later, Mino suffered a famine, but Saito Daiden stubbornly refused to reduce taxes because of the bad mood of those days, and did not even send people to help, without any concern for the people of Li." Matsushita said this lightly and shook his head in disappointment, "Once something goes wrong, I drink day and night, and I don't know how to communicate with people at all." ”

"It's like a stubborn bear child," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "everything has to follow him." As long as he doesn't follow him, he will cry, make trouble and hang himself. ”

"Exactly." Matsushita chuckled lightly at Yu Qiuping's witty words, "Although he is indeed talented, if he is allowed to take power, all decrees depend on his personal mood, and Mino will definitely fall into chaos." That's why we worked hard to restrain his rights, and wanted to restore the collegial system of important ministers and maintain the stability of Mino. ”

Yu Qiuhei patiently listened to Matsushita's frivolous words, and only then did he understand why the Nishimino clan would rather risk the fall of Inabayama Castle to force Saito Ryuko to relinquish central power. Just as he was about to comment, he suddenly heard a loud noise at the door. Immediately after, an Ashigaru of the Ando family rushed into the room where Matsushita Light Chaos and Yu Qiuhei were.
